On the shore, on the walls of the majestic castle of Gelan, there was a large cloud of black smoke, and when the smoke dissipated slightly, a small gap appeared in the wall of the castle, which was said to be impregnable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Fort Geranza! They're attacking Fort Geranza! ”

The fishermen who saw this scene were stunned.

The Fort of Geranza, built by the Dutch, is an unprecedented huge building on the entire Taiwan Island, and after the Dutch built this castle, they once made a bold statement to the people of Taiwan Island: This castle will never be breached by the enemy!

The words of the Dutch obviously have the meaning of intimidating the people of Taiwan Island, but this castle is indeed very strong.

Its walls, made of bricks made of glutinous rice, syrup, and oyster shell ash, were almost comparable to the cement of later generations, and in this era, it was a castle of steel.

The fortification of the walls of the Fort of Geranza was only a secondary factor in its impregnability, and the most important reason why it was not easily breached was its shape.

Ordinary castles are generally boxy, and once this kind of castle is breached, there is basically nothing to play with.

Keranza Fort is a fortress that deliberately changed its construction mode in order to prevent shelling after the appearance of cannons.

This kind of irregularly shaped fortress is full of corners, even if a city wall is breached, the artillery and firepower adjacent to the city wall can be easily supported, and it will not affect the overall combat effectiveness, let alone once the city is broken, it will be lost.

It is precisely because of this that the Dutch dare to say that their castle is impregnable.

The fishermen were shocked, and with their few warships, they wanted to attack the castle of Geranza, and they were not looking for death. The Dutch, who you can afford to mess with?

At the same time, they were surprised by the range of the cannons on this warship, which could be shelled at such a long distance and hit so accurately!

The fishermen also gloated a little: their castle was attacked, and they wondered if the governor of Vanderbilt would be half angry.

Baron Vanderbilt, the governor of Taiwan Island, was leisurely sipping local green tea while reading the national newspaper "News", which had just been delivered by a merchant ship, while the cannon sounded.

Although the name is a newspaper, it has long been an outdated news that has long been sent to Taiwan Island after a long sea route. But Baron Vanderbilt still read with relish, and it seemed that only from this could he smell a trace of home.

The sudden sound of cannons, and the slight vibration of the room, shook Vanderbilt's hands so hard that he almost spilled hot tea onto the newspaper.

Vanderbilt was angry, and he waved his hand: "Linna, go, see what's going on!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The young and beautiful Lena hurried out of the Doge's Palace.

Lina had just left the house when Vanderbilt heard a second cannon shot.

He frowned, a little disturbed in his heart.

In two months, he would leave this place and return to his hometown in the Netherlands, and in the last period of time, he would not want to make any more trouble.

A few days ago, Colonel Albert had already bothered him enough, and he had to mobilize his army to encircle and suppress a group of pirates, and he was really fed up.

"My lord! My lord! ”

A sergeant, who looked panicked and ran out of breath, came in under the guidance of an attendant, and as soon as he entered the door, he screamed.

"My lord! Our castle was shelled! ”

Vanderbilt wasn't nervous at all, he was just a little surprised, who didn't open his eyes and dared to pull out his teeth?

"The second cannon fire just now, is it our cannon firing back?" Vanderbilt was a little unhappy, since it was a return fire, why was there only one cannon shot? Their castle was full of turrets, and they should have fired a salvo.

"Boom!"

Outside again, there was the sound of cannonballs.

The sergeant's expression became even more panicked, and he hurriedly said, "Our cannon...... Our cannons don't have enough range to hit the opponent's ships! ”

Vanderbilt finally stood up from his chair and asked with a solemn expression, "What did you say?" Our battery, can't even hit the opponent's warship? ”

What is the word that the Fort of Geranza is built on a hill and is located on a high place, but the batteries above it cannot beat the enemy ships on the sea below?

Suddenly, Vanderbilt's heart was shocked!

Yesterday, rumors reached his ears that the fleet under Colonel Albert had been annihilated while encircling the pirates, and that all the ships had not been spared.

Naturally, he did not believe it, and not only did he not believe it, but he even felt that it was simply a big joke, and at the same time the greatest insult to the powerful Dutch East India Company.

Colonel Albert had not returned for a few days, thinking that the pirates had been defeated, and Albert was leading the fleet in pursuit of the remnants of the enemy.

However, at this moment, Vanderbilt subconsciously linked these two events.

Could it be that Colonel Albert's fleet has really been wiped out, and the ships that are now shelling outside are the same pirates who have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and come to take revenge?

"Oh my God! What am I thinking? This is crazy! Vanderbilt knocked his head.

In the entire Western Pacific, the largest Dutch fleet will be defeated by a group of unknown pirates, and it will be wiped out?

"Let's go! Let's go out and see, I want to see who dares to come and attack my castle! ”

As soon as Vanderbilt and his men walked out of the Governor's Palace, they only heard a loud "bang", and the ground under their feet was shaking, only to see a city wall not far from them, the sky was full of smoke and dust, and the enemy's cannons had actually hit the third floor of the castle!

The castle is divided into three floors, the first and second floors, respectively, built a large number of military and living facilities, the third floor is mainly the governor's palace, as well as several office departments, the whole castle of the castle usually has more than 2,000 people living here, but this castle can accommodate up to 10,000 people, in short, it is very huge.

Every layer of the castle's walls is densely covered with shooting holes and turrets, and from a distance, the neat black hole looks like a man-devouring demon, which is daunting.

And now, this huge defensive fortress has been attacked!

What's even more hateful is that these forts on the castle have all become decorations at this time, and they have no power to fight back.

Suddenly, Vanderbilt's heart was furious!

"Who the hell is it! Who the hell is attacking us! Let's find out! ”

In the distance, Zhuo Shijie was holding a telescope to inspect the damage to Fort Geranza.

Of course, Zhuo Shijie had also heard of the name of Fort Geranza, which was claimed to be the strongest fortress in East Asia, and even in later generations, it was quite famous, but he didn't believe in this evil, he had a modern cannon, couldn't he break through a castle?
