The sun is like fire, and a fierce battle is being staged in the sea off Beigang under the blue sea and blue sky. The tide gang is out of the nest. On the one hand, the warships in Longmen Port were blocked, and on the other hand, the North Port Shore Defense Fortress was stormed.

The sound of artillery rumbled, and rows of shells hit the fortifications of the fortress, which immediately caused earth and stones to splash everywhere. The dense boatmen rushed to the shore, shouting and killing the sky. Not to be outdone, the red-coated artillery of the shore defense was also not to be outdone, and nearly 300 cannons from more than 30 beacon batteries opened fire fiercely. Shells whizzed into the sea. Stir up columns of water that rush to the sky. The boat that was grazed by the shell was instantly smashed to pieces. The minions above fell into the water in a flash, either dead or wounded.

The high-intensity offensive lasted for a day and a night, and the Chao Gang suffered heavy casualties. As a defender, Zheng Jing's department also lost more than half.

In the afternoon, Zheng Jing dispatched a large number of personnel to reinforce the coastal fortress. As a result, the southern battalion defending against the Dutch was empty.

At about four o'clock, the defenders of the southern camp were defeated, and five hundred Dutch troops captured the southern camp and advanced towards the northern port. According to the strategy of the Dutch, the capture of North Port to create a fait accompli was their aim.

Zheng Jing gritted his teeth. But they can't fight on two fronts. So I had to endure the Dutch. Ordered the remnants of the Southern Battalion of more than 1,000 people to withdraw to the coastal fortress to resist the offensive of the Chao Gang.

Zheng Jing is still very talented, and he knows what to expect. Now you can't fight against the Dutch, but you have to concentrate on dealing with the Chaogang.

The reason why he has such an idea is mainly caused by the lack of the Ming court.

In the first year, the Dutch East India Company occupied Penghu and used it as an entrepot for trade in the Far East. In the year of Zhao, the Dutch built a simple city in "One Carp". This was the predecessor of the Geranza plug. In the year of the scale, after eight months of fierce fighting with the Ming Dynasty's Beacon Gate naval army, the Dutch and the Ming officials reached a compromise agreement. The East India Company agreed to destroy the jambores and forts set up in Penghu. In the 4th year, it was transferred to Dongfan Island.

As compensation, the Ming court did not interfere with the Dutch occupation of Dongfan Island. After the Dutch occupied Dongfan Island, they rebuilt the large-scale castle "Orange Castle" on the site of the original castle. After the completion of the main project of the old growth year. Named after the Dutch province of Geran, the province was rebuilt and named "Geranza City". In Zheng Jing's view, Dongfan Island was given to the Dutch by the Ming court, so the Dutch were the real masters. With that in mind. In addition, Zheng Jing knew that the Dutch were only trying to make money, and the purpose of the Chao Gang was different, so he chose not to resist the Dutch.

And the Dutch had always feared that the Han Chinese would reoccupy Dongfan. Only at first they chose to compromise, because their fortress of Geranza was not yet fully repaired. It's not suitable to turn your face with Zheng Zhilong. In the past six months, Zheng Zhilong has migrated nearly two million people to Dongfan, which worried the Dutch and brought a huge amount of cheap labor to the construction of the city of Geranza.

The Dutch hired 500,000 of them to build fortifications for them. In this way, the fortresses of the cities of Geranza and Plovingxia, which were originally planned to be completed in the same year, were miraculously completed in half a year.

The crystallization of the labor of the Han people amazed the Dutch, and at the same time, it finally made the East India Company determined to completely enslave the Ming people in Taiwan, and let these two million Ming people become the labor machines of the Dutch.

Zheng Jing chose to compromise with the Dutch and expressed his willingness to submit to the Dutch governor of Geranza. De Witt, the governor of Geranza, saw Zheng Jing surrender to him. I thought about the pros and cons for a while. Today the Dutch army is too small. It is somewhat difficult to manage two million Ming people, so it is indispensable to rely on Zheng Jing's people to assist in management in the future. So Governor DeWitt agreed to Zheng Jing's request for peace talks. and sent a fleet to help Zheng Jing guard the coast and repel the tide gang sailors.

In order to show his sincerity, Zheng Jing abandoned the Nanda Battalion and withdrew all the fighters to the coastal fortress. After the Dutch were reassured. In order to keep the North Harbor, Governor DeWitt immediately sent a fleet under the Dutch East India Company out of the North Harbor River. Launch a surprise attack on the tide gang on the sea.

The Dutch East India Company fleet originally consisted of only ten cruisers and thirty frigates, as well as more than fifty sloops, in the South China Sea. As a result of the large-scale naval arms race between Zheng Zhilong and Na Haonan, and the withdrawal of the Dutch fleet to Europe, the Dutch East India Company was stimulated to strengthen its naval forces in the Far East.

Now, after seven months of expansion with the Dutch's great shipbuilding and plundering capabilities, the commander of the fleet, Retiz, commanded thirty cruisers and fifty frigates, as well as a large number of dhows, as a rear admiral.

Although the Chao Gang has more than 3,000 large and small warships, there are one or two hundred warships on the stage. Moreover, the Canton ship was inferior to the Fu ship, and it was even more difficult to compete with the Western European Galen ships of the Dutch.

Regardless of firepower, speed and tonnage. The tide gang sailors are not dominant.

As Rear Admiral Raytz led the fleet to fight against the Tide Gang Sailors, more than 100 Tide Gang warships were sunk and destroyed in just half an hour. Wu Liuqi, the leader of the Chao Gang, who had always been afraid of the Dutch, saw that the situation was not good. Immediately scare the others. The chieftain deliberated on retreat.

Sully personally supervised the battle, and saw that Zheng Jing's coastal defense was breached, and at this time, the Dutch came out halfway, which was really annoying.

Su Li was not convinced, and he couldn't swallow this breath. So he ordered the navy to continue fighting the Dutch navy. As a result, the fire was less than half frightened. Hour. The huge casualties and losses were too much for Sully to bear.

Unable to beat the Dutch, Sully had no choice but to settle for the second. Negotiate with the Dutch with the intention of carving up the North Port with the Dutch.

However, the Dutch have always been fond of eating alone. Now that the Dutch have an absolute advantage, how can they share the fat of Beigang with the Chaogang.

Talking about the second, the Dutch people put down the last jaw joint and asked the Chao Gang to withdraw within half an hour, and Sichuan annihilated the Chao Gang.

Sully was so angry that his fiery temper made him dazed, and he was ready to fight the Dutch to the death. Thanks to the timely dissuasion of the leader, Su Li was able to recover his senses.

"Let's go!"

Sully couldn't help it, if he didn't leave. With his temper, maybe no one would be able to stop him from fighting the Dutch.

The sound of the cannon ceased, and the sea returned to calm. The Tide Gang took the bodies of wounded soldiers and fallen soldiers, leaving only the fragments of the ship's drifting and the smoke filled with the smell of gunpowder.

However. During the hours of fierce battle between the Dutch navy and the Tide Gang sailors, the city of Geranza was turned upside down.

By the time the marines of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion arrived at Zheng Jing's southern camp, the battle had already ended, and Zheng Jing's men had all withdrawn to the coastal fortress half an hour earlier.

The Dutch reached a compromise with Zheng Jing. This was something that Xie Yi and others did not expect, and the sudden change made the prospect of the battle for Beigang confusing.

Originally, Xie Yi also wanted to take advantage of the Dutch and the Chao Gang to weaken Zheng Jing's forces. But when he saw the Dutch fleet, he no longer had such thoughts.

Chen Dali said: "It seems that the Dutch have reached some kind of compromise with Zheng Jing!" ”

Xie Yi frowned, quickly judging the next battle situation in his mind, and Liu Feng next to him said: "It seems that we have always ignored a problem, we have been engaged in an arms race with Zheng Zhilong, don't you know what is wrong with the Netherlands, foreign invaders have never been idle!" ”

Xie Yi nodded. "The strength of the Dutch fleet has far exceeded the strength of our Pacific Fleet, and the Chao Gang has no hope of victory at all

"If the Chao Gang can't win the naval battle, then they won't be able to land, and Zheng Jing's coastal defense fortress looks like it can be defended!"

Liu Feng sighed: "The benefits of Dan Weng look like they are going to be lost!" The Dutch fleet is so large that they will have no less than 10,000 men, and if necessary, their navy can also take up muskets and fight us on land! ”

The pressure was rising, and several people felt that the situation was not good.

Xie Yi looked at the Geranja Fortress to the south, and it was like a giant beast eyeing Beigang. Dan looked at the adobe-poured walls of the North Harbor, which could not be held as a fortified city.

Suddenly, the shape shì was very unfavorable to the Marine Division. It's a real headache.

"The Principal has great expectations for this operation! No matter what the difficulty, even if we fight to the last soldier, we will gnaw on Beigang! ”

Chen Dali shook his head and said, "If we have artillery, we can also storm the Relanza Fortress." Take the fortress of Geranza and wait for reinforcements until the Pacific Fleet dares to come, or a large number of reinforcements arrive. Today, there is a fortified fortress inside. There is a strong Dutch fleet blockade outside, and there will be a large number of Dutch troops landing at any time, our 5,000 people have no food and ammunition to follow, no reinforcements, and no danger to defend, and we may not be able to get the North Port if we are all explained. ”

Chen Dali said very practically, although everyone was unwilling, they had to accept the cruelty of reality.

Liu Feng said suddenly: "It's better for us to rely on Yushan and slowly consume their strength."

Xie Yi smiled bitterly: "The ideal is good, it's a pity to stay in the jade mountain, and not wait to consume the Dutch." Our own non-combat attrition is enough to drag ourselves down! ”

That's right! At the current level, humanity is too weak to fight nature. The starting point of the Marine Division was to fight guerrilla warfare, but it could not withstand the impact of non-combat attrition brought to them by nature.

Looking at the majestic castle of Geranza, everyone thought that if they could take it, then there was still hope for victory. Otherwise, they will have to watch the Dutch take over the North Harbor.

Xie Yi wrote a letter about the situation here and sent someone to send it to Tamsui to ask for reinforcements from the army.

"Dong Nan, what about them?

Liu Feng asked suddenly. Chen Dali said: "When I left, Dong Nan said that he wanted to touch the Relancha Fortress to have a look."

Xie Yi suddenly showed a happy expression. "If only they could get in, then we still have a chance".

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and when everyone was anxious, Dong Nan appeared.

I saw Dong Nan dressed up as an ordinary person, covered in mud, as if he had come out of a ditch.

I really guessed correctly, Dong Nan really got out of the cement ditch of the Relanza Fortress.

"What's going on in the city?"

As soon as everyone saw Dong Nan, they immediately stepped forward to ask.

Dong Nan said: "The Dutch are neat. The castle looks really ugly, but when I took a look around, I realized that the castle is very useful."

As he spoke, Dong Nan took out a piece of paper, on which was a sketch of the Relanza Fortress.

It turned out that Dong Nan led the hunter commando team and was also preparing to climb the city wall like the castle of the Ming Dynasty. Who would have thought that the structure of the Dutchman's castle was so strange and complicated that it would be difficult to touch the soldiers patrolling the city.

The fortress of Geranza built by the Dutch. The whole is like a terrace, climbing behind the city walls. There is nowhere to hide. Because behind the city wall, in addition to the aisles, there is also a higher city wall.

The entire fortress was like a hill, and after climbing the walls, it was immediately exposed to the Dutch defenders on the higher walls. Therefore, Dong Nan and others tried many methods. In the end, he chose to dress up as a common man and go to the city. Although the main works of the Geranza fortress have been completed, there are other non-military works to be built. Therefore, there were a lot of workers coming and going, and Dong Nan and others were able to put on makeup.

Upon entering the castle, the first floor is a rectangular castle. It's similar to the city of the Ming Dynasty. Deployed around the city walls: gate artillery, all large-caliber short pipes to the middle of the wall is not an urn, semicircular fortress, the fortress is arranged with artillery and firing holes. The residential area of the castle is to the east, and the governor's office is under construction to the west. The entrance to the two-story castle is to the west of the Governor's Office, which is a scary. The square city wall, on which twenty cannons are deployed, belong to the middle and close range of artillery. In the middle of the city wall is also a semicircular fortress.

On the third floor is the core military base of the Geranza Fortress, which is also square on the second floor. In the middle is a semicircular fortress. But there were four more fortresses around it. Fort Almopoint, Fort Mitte, Fort Campbellfei, Fort Forlì Sinlien. The four forts were all equipped with Dutch Westminster cannons, which were condescending, and the firing range was on the basis of the normal maximum distance of five kilometers, and with the help of the altitude, it could be hit up to six kilometers away. In the middle of the third floor is the Whale Castle, and on top of the castle is a tall Dutch flag.

"The Dutch garrison inside was about a thousand men. Among them, there were more than 700 artillery men, and less than 300 infantry".

Xie Yi and the others gasped when they heard this, if the castle was like the city of the Ming Dynasty, it was easy to attack, but the opponent's castle was stacked with four layers, and even if the fastest attack speed, they could only take the first two layers in a short time. And the two layers in the back are obviously the most powerful, and they don't want to attack them for a short time. And once it falls into a stalemate. Then you will fall into a dilemma, and even suffer from the enemy.

Seeing everyone frowning and sighing, Dong Nan smiled and said, "I brought you a surprise."

As he spoke, Dong Nan clapped his hands, and soon several commandos came to everyone with a fat man.

"Isn't this Lang Huaiyi?

"That's right! That's him". Dong Nan smiled: "This guy is giving the Dutch Governor De Witt the Governor's Office." Originally, I didn't want to arrest him. But he found out about us, in order not to expose the target. We had to get him! Xie Yi said: "This guy surrendered to the Dutch, how did you get him out?"

The Dutch were tightly guarded, and Guo Huaiyi was naturally not easy to get out. So Dong Nan and others found the unfinished drainage ditch in the governor's office. Bring it out.

"Gutter?.

Only then did Liu Feng understand why there was so much mud on them.

"Good chance!" Xie Yixi said: "We can touch it through the drainage ditch and attack the Relancha Fortress!" ”

The voice network fell. Unexpectedly, Dong Nan Lifang poured a basin of cold water on him.

"The Dutch are quite clever that the gutter has a one-way baffle that can only go out from the inside, not from the outside

Everyone sighed suddenly, and Dong Nan continued: "But it's not difficult to get in, it depends on whether he is worthy of cooperation."

As he spoke, he pushed Guo Huaiyi violently and pushed him to the middle. His men removed the gag for him. Guo Huaiyi coughed violently. Hurriedly cried and begged for mercy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's go around the villain."

Xie Yi had already understood what Dong Nan meant, and Guo Huaiyi in front of him was doing something for the Dutch, so naturally he had a way to bring weapons into it. As long as the hunter commandos are close to the various city gates, then as long as they control the city gates and guard the small marine divisions in a short time, they can rush into the fortress and take it down in one fell swoop.

Guo Huaiyi saw that their costumes were. knows that they are Deng Haonan's people. With his cleverness, he naturally understood that Zheng Zhilong was finished, otherwise Deng Haonan's army would not have appeared here.

However, Xie Yi asked Guo Huaiyi to take them into the city to rob the Dutch fortress, and this guy was suddenly frightened and his legs weakened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, grandfathers, you just go around the villain! The Dutch are so powerful, you can't control the fortress at all! ”

Liu Feng lifted his foot. is kicking in Guo Huaiyi's lower abdomen. Guo Huaiyi wailed. Spit sour water in the mouth. It hurts so much that I can't afford to lie on the ground.

"You're going to kill the villain!"

Chen Dali gave him another kick, and Xie Yi wanted to stop him, worried about killing him. Seeing Chen Dali blink of an eye, Xie Yi remembered that he was an agent, so naturally there was a way to make Guo Huaiyi comply.

"Your little wife's name is Sweet Girl."

Guo Huaiyi was lying on the ground pretending to be confused. Hearing this, he suddenly felt a thrill. Dark: Who is this guy? Knowing his little wife?

"What do you want? small

"Take us in and do as we say!"

Guo Huaiyi: "If I take you in, they will kill me."

It turned out that this guy was afraid of death, Chen Dali smiled and said: "If you don't help us, you will die immediately, and your little wife seems to be pregnant, right?" They all have to die! ”

"What's in it for you? small

Xie Yi and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they just played Guo Huai to let go.

Chen Dali said coldly: "You have no room for bargaining, help us and you can live."

Guo Huaiyi thought about asking for some interest. Who would have expected Chen Dali to be a dime. Just as he was about to hesitate, suddenly Xie Yi said, "Help us." It's your own people. I will keep you rich and prosperous."

"Really?"

"Really!"

Xie Yi couldn't wait, for fear that Guo Huaiyi would regret it. Hurry to pack your tickets. Chen Dali rolled his eyes. He thinks that people like Guo Huaiyi are capricious, and letting him live is enough to take care of him, and he doesn't want to give him other promises. However, Xie Yi served as the commander of the Marine Division. There's not so much to care about right now, "We must hurry up and take the fortress of Geranza."

"Deal".

Guo Huai was afraid that Xie Yi would regret it, so he hurriedly finalized the agreement.
