Shell after shell landed accurately on the walls of Fort Geranza, several meters thick, under the bombardment of huge cannons, debris flew and wolf smoke billowed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And Zhuo Shijie's head gradually condensed into a black line.

"It's hard enough! If you continue to fight like this, you can only take it down if you get the Year of the Monkey! ”

Every shell can blow up a small part of the walls of Fort Geranza, but the problem is that the whole Fort is too huge.

The castle has three floors, each of which is ten meters high, and all of them add up to a height of thirty meters, which is almost the height of a ten-story building.

Due to the thickness of the city walls, even if a 100 mm gun can blow up a city wall, I don't know how many shells it will take to completely destroy such a huge castle.

At this time, Zhuo Shijie suddenly had the idea of building a giant cannon, if it was a giant cannon with a caliber of more than 400 mm, a castle like this could blow it up in minutes.

100 mm guns, still a little too weak.

Although Zhuo Shijie knows a lot about historical knowledge, he is not meticulous and does not omit anything, and there is one thing he doesn't know much.

He knew that Zheng Chenggong had later driven the Dutch out of Taiwan and had also captured Fort Geranza.

What he didn't know was that Zheng Chenggong's battle could be described as exhausting his hard work and almost failed. And, just a few months after occupying the Fort of Geranza, Zheng Chenggong traveled westward.

At that time, Zheng Chenggong led more than 25,000 of his soldiers, on a warship, loaded with supplies, to besiege Fort Geranza.

This circumference is nine months long!

Fort Geranza is still too hard, Zheng Chenggong's artillery keeps bombing, Fort Geranza is still standing, and even, after Zheng Chenggong occupies it, this castle can still be used as usual, it can be seen that his more than 200 days of bombardment did not cause any real damage to Fort Geranza.

At that time, there were only about 2,000 people in the fort, including some non-combatants, 25,000 against 2,000, and the siege lasted for nine months, which shows that the castle really lived up to its name.

At the beginning, the Dutch defenders in Fort Geranza saw that Zheng Chenggong had more than 20,000 people besieging the city and had countless artillery pieces, and in fear, some people began to defect to Zheng Chenggong's troops.

Later, however, the Dutch defenders saw that Zheng Chenggong's attack was not effective, and fewer and fewer defectors defected.

Eventually, Zheng Chenggong ran out of food and grass, and the soldiers began to flee, and some even defected to the Dutch.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a traitor within the Dutch, and a Germanic sergeant who understood the weakness of Fort Geranza escaped from the castle and gave Zheng Chenggong advice, it is not known who killed the deer in this protracted war.

Zhuo Shijie didn't know this historical news, if he knew, he wouldn't be so light on the enemy, with only one naval gun and dozens of soldiers, he wanted to take the Fort of Geranza in one fell swoop.

His thoughts were still a little naïve.

After a few big wins in a row, he was a little inflated.

Facing this hedgehog-like castle, Zhuo Shijie felt that this battle might not be solved in a day or two.

"It's a tough nut to crack!"

"Keep shelling! Bomb until they can't stand it anymore! "Zhuo Shijie already has the consciousness to fight a protracted war.

After that, he added: "Fight a little closer, and get rid of their batteries first!" ”

Anyway, he has artillery shells, some food, and some time, and even if it is consumed, it will consume the opponent to death, of course, until the new battle plan comes out, this tactic is only the next strategy among the next strategies.

At this time, in the governor's palace of Geranzaburg, Vanderbilt was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

"Damn it! You damned, pig-brained Albert! It's all good work from you! ”

If he hadn't been soft-eared and listened to Albert's nonsense, he wouldn't have faced this embarrassing situation today.

There are a few questions in front of him.

Where the hell is Albert and the fleet he leads? Is it possible, as rumored to be, that the whole army has been wiped out at the hands of the pirates?

If Colonel Albert was really wiped out, how would he Vanderbilt face all the shareholders of the East India Company? Will his future political future be completely ended because of this?

Also, what is the origin of those enemy ships on the sea? Are they the same pirates that Albert went to hunt?

The enemy's artillery can have such a long range, where did they get the advanced artillery?

The enemy shelled the castle from afar, and they could only hide in the castle and be beaten passively, but there was nothing they could do, how to play this battle?

Vanderbilt had never been so worried, and he couldn't even drink the mung bean soup that Lina had just served, his favorite drink to relieve the heat.

Bombardment after bombardment seemed to blow up his heart, leaving him depressed and out of breath.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said to several officers beside him: "Immediately send a speedboat and pass my order to the two warships, the Soria and the Princess, so that they can end their cruise in the surrounding waters and return to the sea immediately!" ”

"Remember, let them return at night, and sneak up on the enemy's ships and sink them with the heaviest artillery fire while they are unprepared!"

At present, there are only these two warships that can be used on Taiwan Island, and there is only one way to quickly eliminate the enemy.

So far, Vanderbilt doesn't see this group of enemies as a serious danger to his henchmen, nor does he think that they can really pose a threat to his castle.

It's just that the taste of being shot is definitely not comfortable.

As soon as his order was delivered, news from outside came in one after another.

"My lord, enemy ships are approaching my castle!"

When Vanderbilt first heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, what did these enemies want to do? Do they want to taste the power of the fort on the castle?

But then, another piece of news came.

"My lord, the enemy ship has stopped again only eight miles from my castle!"

Vanderbilt felt a burst of fire in his heart, was this teasing Benjue?

Then, the last thing he wanted to hear.

"My lord! Oh no! Enemy artillery fire accurately hit our batteries! Two batteries were blown up, four gunners were killed, and three were seriously wounded! ”

When Vanderbilt heard the news, he felt dizzy.

The enemy's artillery is also too perverted, and at such a distance, it was able to hit his battery! What a precise shelling!

Not long ago, several of his subordinates persuaded him to enter the governor's palace in the fortress, saying that he was afraid that he would be injured by artillery shelling, and that he felt that his subordinates were too cowardly, and no matter how accurate the enemy's artillery was, it would not be possible to hit him.

But now, he was a little afraid, fortunately he followed the advice of his subordinates, otherwise, he might have really put himself in a very dangerous situation.

The fort is the most important defensive firepower of the castle, if the enemy blows up his fort, then his castle will not become a lamb to the slaughter?

How good is that?

Vanderbilt, who was as calm as this, was also a little panicked at this time
