Chapter 214: Finish Cruelty to the Dutch
PS: The first update is here, there should be more than three watches today, but it's a little hot.
Eight hundred infantry was the limit of the Dutch. In the red-haired city, there are more than 150 young soldiers left, and it can be said that they are desperate to go out of the city, pinning their hopes on taking the initiative.
Rayson was naturally full of confidence in their musket team. They have some understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, otherwise they would not have come to invade Penghu and make a fuss about trading with the Ming Dynasty. Li Dan obviously played a very important role in this process, and the Dutch's understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was basically learned from Li Dan.
But tragedy soon followed. When these 800 Dutch musketeers lined up to approach the 3,000 Ming troops, the Ming army retreated a little, and the Dutch thought that the Ming army was afraid, and their morale suddenly skyrocketed, and they pushed forward a little more thoughtlessly.
As a result, there is no going back! Because they were surrounded by the Ming army. Of the 3,000 Denglai sailors, nearly half of them went ashore as musketeers. As a 'marine', the Denglai Marine Division fought on land and was not much different from those infantry divisions of the Central Army.
When the musketeers of the Denglai Marine Division were encircled, the Dutch woke up like a dream, looking at the bright muskets in the hands of the Ming army, and the muzzle of the black hole, an ominous premonition rose to their hearts.
Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
The infantry artillery was the first to fire, and from two hundred meters away, fired a shotgun at the Dutch, and the horse staged a slaughter-like battle.
The Dutch collapsed under shelling!
The collapsed Dutchman ran in all directions, and was again fired by a platoon of guns, in the midst of neat gunfire. The Dutch fell to the ground in rows.
"Surrender. We surrender. ”
"Raise the white flag!"
These Dutch robbers came to make a fortune. didn't come to give his life, when he met the Denglai sailor who was even more ruthless than them, he relented on the spot and beat the white flag out in horror.
"These red hairs are really vulnerable!" Sun Yiguo looked at the embarrassed appearance of the Dutchman in the telescope, and immediately laughed.
"Commander-in-Chief, are you stopping shooting?"
"Stop shooting!" Sun Yiguo nodded and said, among the military laws of the new army of the Ming army, killing prisoners is a violation of military law. Only in the Liaodong battlefield against Jiannu. But for those Han soldiers who surrendered, they were also not allowed to kill indiscriminately.
The Dutch raised the white flag, and the Ming army soon stopped firing and stepped forward to control the Dutchmen who were still alive. After surrendering, the Dutch were very cooperative, and were soon taken down by the Ming army.
Raiersheng, who was watching the battle on the city wall, was already stunned by the combat effectiveness of the Ming army at this time.
"This is the legendary fragile army of the East? My God~~! How is it possible, their artillery and muskets, it seems, are much better than ours in the Netherlands! Raelson hid his face and wailed, feeling that he was really unlucky.
The bad luck was obviously much more than that, after the Dutch infantry was annihilated outside the city. After the Ming army launched two more rounds of artillery bombardment on Hongmao City, they launched an attack on Hongmao City.
Dutch. I was already scared and ran away.
Where could more than 150 young soldiers still be able to stop so many Ming troops, Lei Ersheng naturally ran away, got on the battleship and rushed out of the port.
It's a pity that outside the port, they were blocked by a large number of warships of the Ming army. The Dutch, who rushed out of the port, were surrounded by the Ming army and beaten violently.
The Dutch burned three warships on the spot by the Ming army, and then the Dutch retreated to the port in disarray. Fortunately, the Dutch did not withdraw the men on the fort with them, and after retreating into the port, the Denglai sailors did not dare to rush in rashly to eat the shells, but continued to blockade the port.
Such a blockade would lose its effect as long as it was night, and the Dutch could successfully run away in the night, after all, the port was also relatively wide, and it was difficult to effectively intercept it if the location of the Dutch ships could not be seen.
But it was clear that the Dutch would not be able to survive nightfall, for the Denlai sailors had already stormed the Red Hair City. There were very few Dutch in Hongmao City, and it was difficult to form an effective resistance. Soon the Dutch's fort in the city was also captured and controlled by the Denlai Marines.
At the same time as Hongmao City was captured, Sun Yiguo immediately sent an envoy to the Dutch to surrender.
Raelsen received the envoys on the warship and demanded that their personal and property safety be guaranteed. Seeing that he couldn't run, Raelsen was also ready to surrender. But if your life is not guaranteed, you will naturally fight to the death.
"Accept the Red Fur's request and make a promise to them. We protect their personal safety and personal property from confiscation. After Sun Yiguo learned of the conditions of these Dutchmen, he thought for a while and agreed. There were still seven Dutch warships in the harbor, and as long as the Dutch surrendered, these gunboats would be the stuff of the sailors.
"The Holy Lord is about to build gunboats now, and these captured red-haired gunboats should be very useful."
With this in mind, the demands of the Dutch were met. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the commander of the Batavian fleet of the Dutch East India Company, Relsen, had no choice but to surrender.
The Dutch warships in the harbor raised the white flag and were subsequently controlled by the Denlai Naval Division.
In just two days, Penghu was officially recovered, and the Dutch and Dutch fleet on the island were completely annihilated, and the Dutch were captured 635 people and 9 warships. Three of them were speedboats and six were gunboats. At the same time the Dutch were killed 363 people and three warships were sunk.
The people on Penghu Island cheered after hearing the news, and sent all kinds of fishing goods to the army. At the same time, a group of Penghu people came to Sun Yiguo to petition.
"My lord, the court wants to be the master for us! The men of our family were taken captive to the South Seas by these red hairs. ”
"My lord, you have to call the shots for us! Both of my sons were taken captive by these red hairs. ”
There was a cry at the scene, Sun Yiguo couldn't help frowning, and asked left and right: "What did these Dutch do when they kidnapped my Ming people?" ”
"The Dutch said that they need us Ming people to serve them, and those natives in Nanyang are too lazy. Therefore, after occupying Penghu, more than 300 young and strong laborers were taken captive. ”
"Damn it, let these Dutchmen get them back." Sun Yiguo slapped the table on the spot.
"My lord, this matter is not our business! We still have to wait for the people sent by the Holy Lord to come and negotiate with these Dutch, and leave it to them to settle the matter. "Persuaded left and right.
"Then immediately send a good news to the saint, and ask His Majesty to send someone to receive these red hairs, leaving five hundred people stationed in Penghu, and the others will follow me to Taiwan." Sun Yiguo had no choice but to stop asking about this matter, which was indeed not within his authority. And his next task is to go to Taiwan to build a fort. (To be continued......)
