Chapter 96: Surrender

Explosions rang out one after another in the fortress, and shards of iron sheets flew everywhere. **.

"Ahh

"Ahh

“……”

The Dutch soldiers, who were caught off guard, screamed after being hit by shrapnel.

But these were just the beginning, and soon some poisonous smoke came out.

"What's going on?"

Rayson poked his head out and shouted.

Fortunately, he was able to lie down in time and was not fatally injured.

But even then, a sharp pain came from his right arm.

When Raelsen looked at it, he found that his right arm had been hit by shrapnel and began to bleed.

"Bastard!"

Raelsen couldn't help but scold.

But soon he smelled a pungent smell, and he looked around.

It was found that there was a gray smoke everywhere inside the fortress, and these smoke emitted a very pungent smell, which made Raelsen feel very uncomfortable.

Screams rang out around him, and most of the iron grenades were thrown into the city, not the walls.

The Dutch soldiers who were hiding in the city were unprepared and were caught off guard and were badly damaged.

Everywhere there were soldiers wounded by those fragments or shockwaves.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Raelsen couldn't help but cough.

"Damn bastard, what the hell is this."

Raelson scolded.

He felt as if his throat was on fire, and he couldn't help but touch his throat.

But a large number of thief pomegranate cannons were still thrown into the fortress and the city, and then exploded.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……”

Several places where the gunpowder was stored were detonated by the exploding grenades, and even a gunpowder storage point on the city wall was ignited, resulting in even heavier casualties among the Dutch soldiers.

The Dutch soldiers at the head of the city were terrified, and more than two dozen soldiers had already been hit by the shrapnel and screamed loudly.

But it wasn't that that worried Raelson the most, it was the poisonous smoke that worried him.

Since the fortress is not large, its side length is only 89 meters.

Some people with great strength can almost throw the iron grenade to the other end.

Coupled with the closed environment, it is very unfavorable for the spread of those poisonous smokes.

Now the fortress is full of thick poisonous smoke.

The Dutch soldiers coughed one after another.

Some people covered their throats and breathed hard, while others had red eyes and tears flowed out of their eyes.

Even Raelsen had trouble breathing and his eyes hurt terribly.

He hurriedly struggled to rush up the wall, and only after breathing in the air that was barely fresh did he feel better.

But he still felt a terrible pain in his throat and eyes, and he was very nauseous in his stomach, as if he was about to vomit bile.

He ignored these uncomfortable feelings, and shouted to the fortress: "All the people give me the city wall, don't stay in the fortress, be careful of the poisonous smoke." ”

When the Dutch soldiers in the fortress received the order, they immediately struggled and ran towards the city walls.

Running to the city wall, almost everyone was injured, clutching their throats and gulping in the fresh air.

And their eyes were red, as if they had been sprinkled with chili peppers, and tears flowed uncontrollably from their eyes.

Seeing this, those Wei Wushu hurriedly adjusted their direction and threw the thief god machine howitzer towards the city wall.

The walls were full of Dutchmen, and if you threw one of them, you could kill one of them.

Although many did not hit the wall, but threw it over the head of the city into the city, a small number threw grenades on the city walls.

As a result, screams rang out again on the city walls.

The most frightening thing was the smoke, and once there was smoke on the walls, the gunners couldn't shoot, and the musketeers couldn't shoot.

They could only clutch their throats with difficulty, and a large number of tears kept flowing from their eyes.

When Lu Yan in the distance saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, this weapon of the Ming Dynasty is powerful.

Although the lethality is not as good as the grenades of later generations, the ability to seal the throat and blind eyes is still very strong.

Look at the Dutch army in front of you almost completely lost its combat effectiveness.

It didn't take long for the artillery on the walls to be almost completely muted.

"Ahem...... Fire! Ahem...... Aim at the enemies in the trenches ahead! ”

Raelsen said sharply as he coughed.

If they continue to fight like this, they will all be finished.

Those musketeers and gunners also hated those grenadiers, and dozens of soldiers, regardless of their physical discomfort, adjusted their direction and opened fire on those Wei soldiers.

But in their state, what kind of accuracy can they have, almost all of them are empty.

And when they fired, they also exposed their bodies.

The musketeers and Iron Eagle sharps in the back kept firing, and soon the musketeers were unable to lift their heads.

"Bastard!"

Rayson scolded again, he had never fought such a humiliating battle.

At this time, a large amount of poisonous smoke rose from the city wall where he was and behind him.

The Mahoghutan Fortress is actually not very high, that is, about four meters.

As a result, the poisonous smoke soon enveloped the perimeter of the city walls, making it difficult for the soldiers on the walls to breathe.

Some of the soldiers were so sad that they kept clutching their throats, and their throats were covered with blood.

Some people can't wait to pick out their eyeballs, and their eyes are too painful.

Raelsen was extremely worried.

What the hell is he going to do?

If it were in the future, he would definitely severely condemn Lu Yan's use of large-scale biological and chemical weapons.

It is a pity that there is no such international regulation in the world.

Enemy artillery hit his city one after another, and his artillery was completely dumb.

Coupled with the enemy's grenades, if this continues, sooner or later his fortress will be breached by the enemy.

"General, your blood ......"

At this time, a soldier pointed to his arm in horror and said.

Raelson took a look at his wound and saw that the blood that had come out was black.

"Damn, it's poisonous."

Raelsen couldn't help but scold.

Lu Yan did add a lot of ** to the thief god machine pomegranate, but these ** were not the ones that sealed the throat with blood.

All of these ** have antidotes, but they are just in his hands.

This is mainly to avoid accidents when those Wei soldiers throw grenades and accidentally injure themselves.

Rayson felt a pang of discouragement and despair, was he going to die today?

Some of the Dutch soldiers could no longer bear the pain and jumped from the city wall clutching their throats.

Then he took out his weapon and rushed towards the trenches with a wild scream.

They will perish with the enemy before them!

His behavior frightened many people, these people are really dead!

Soon someone reacted, and a dozen muskets were aimed at them.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

“……”

After a dense burst of muskets, several Dutch soldiers fell to the ground.

Several large holes had been punched in their chests, and a large amount of blood was pouring out of these wounds.

But a few soldiers managed to jump into the trenches, and they took up their weapons and slashed at the Wei warriors.

But soon they realized that they were wrong, and those Wei Wushu's best skills were definitely not throwing grenades.

What they do best is slashing people with swords!

So those Wei soldiers sneered and swarmed up, and split the two Dutch soldiers into pieces.

At this time, Relsen had already despaired to the extreme, and the battle of Penghu was definitely the most humiliating battle in the history of the Dutch conquest.

A total of 900 soldiers will be lost in this battle.

Never before has the Dutch suffered such a crushing defeat since colonizing the country.

And he, Raelsen, will also be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history, becoming synonymous with stupidity.

Raelsen looked at the Dutch soldiers in great pain, and he felt that they should not all die here.

He should find a way to take them home!

He shouted: "Stop shooting, everyone stop shooting." ”

Hearing his words, the Dutch soldiers were stunned.

General, what is this for?

"I have decided to surrender to the enemy, and we have lost this battle."

Raelson said loudly.

Black blood was pouring from his arm, staining his uniform black.

Not only him, but many Dutch soldiers were like this.

Those shrapnel were highly poisonous, and if there was no antidote, even if the enemy stopped attacking, it would not be long before they were poisoned and killed.

Moreover, many Dutch soldiers have completely lost their combat effectiveness, they can't even speak with their throats clutched, and their eyes hurt so much that they can't see clearly.

They know they're defeated.

I didn't think it was unacceptable to surrender to the Dutch, and that was the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.

Wars between Western kingdoms often happen when the other side is captured, and if the war is impossible to win, the losing side surrenders.

Then pay a ransom to the other party to redeem themselves, and the winning side will most likely gladly accept the other party's ransom.

Because no one can guarantee that they will always be victorious.

If you win today, maybe you will lose next time, and then it will be your turn to pay the ransom.

Shortly after Zheng Chenggong landed in Dayuan Bay, the Dutch soldiers in Chihkan Tower in Tainan also surrendered to Zheng Chenggong after being provoked.

For Railsen, this battle is no longer possible.

It's better to surrender to the other side, maybe you can redeem your own life by paying a large ransom, anyway, it's better than dying here.

There is no objection to the surrender of those Dutch soldiers, since they can't fight, surrender.

Many of them are already highly poisoned, and they are still counting on each other to give them an antidote.

Soon there was no gunfire in the city, and a large white flag was waving.

At the same time, a Dutch soldier with a rough command of Chinese shouted: "Don't shoot, we surrender." ”

The Dutch soldier's words were completely drowned out by the sound of gunfire due to the sound of gunfire.

But the soldiers of the White Flag still knew each other.

So their shooting slowly stopped.

"Why is the enemy going to surrender?"

Seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but become depressed.

After preparing for such a long time, as soon as the force was exerted, the enemy was about to surrender, which always gave him a feeling of unhappiness.

"Isn't that a good thing? I think it's mainly because the smoke is so powerful. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile.

At this time, a Dutch soldier jumped from the city wall along a rope.

At the same time, he kept waving a pair of white pants and slowly walked towards the position of the Ming army.

Seeing this, Lu Yan said softly.

"Bring him here."

When he walked to the front of the trench, someone quickly disarmed him, searched behind him and escorted him to see Lu Yan.

"Your Excellency, we have learned the strength of your army. We admit that we have lost this battle, so we are willing to surrender. We hope that your army will accept the rules of the civilized world and allow us to redeem our lives with a ransom. ”

The Dutch soldier said in half-baked Chinese.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yan's mouth.

"Of course, we have always been magnanimous to our foreign friends, as long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and make amends. We are willing to blame the past. ”

Lu Yan continued to use his old rhetoric.

Hearing this, the Dutch soldier couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had heard that China had always been magnanimous to foreigners, even treating them as guests, but it was extremely cruel to its own people.

This made him despise China even more, and he really deserved to be a group of natives.

"If you want to redeem your life, you must pay 1,000,000 taels of silver within half a year. Less than that number is not to be discussed. ”

Lu Yan continued to open his mouth.

Hearing this, the Dutch soldier couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

1,000,000 taels of silver! This damn native is greedy.

But greed is a good thing, and it shows that he has the sincerity to accept their surrender.

If nothing is mentioned, they will be worried about what to do if the enemy intends to kill the prisoners after surrendering.

"I will convey this condition to our general, which needs to be discussed in detail between our general and you."

The Dutch soldier said.

"Your general wants to talk in person?"

Lu Yan's eyes flashed.

"Not bad."

The Dutch soldier said.

"That's great, I'll wait for him here."

A false smile appeared on Lu Yan's face.

"But please hurry up, he'd better be here in a quarter of an hour, or I'll think he's playing delaying tactics, and I'll order my soldiers to go on the attack."

"Please rest assured, my lord, our general will be here soon."

After saying this, the Dutch soldier confessed and went back to ask their general.

"Lord, do you really plan to take their money and then let them go?"

Jia Xu asked curiously.

"How is this possible? I want their money, and I want their heads. ”

Lu Yan said with a smile, "These Dutch have committed heinous crimes against Daming, and they can't be let go no matter what." We can take the money from the Dutch and then kill them, after all, we are very short of money, and since the Dutch are willing to give it, how can we not take it. ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu's face showed a smile, the lord is really getting darker and darker, but isn't this exactly what is in my heart?
