The next day, Wu Hualong and his little brother, who had worked hard all night in the wild, waited for another half a day.

They found that the red-haired man had opened the city gates and sent many people away. The sailors of the two smaller plywood boats that had been parked on the docks of the city also retreated to the city, and the boats were left there. They also urgently strengthened the fortifications and divided the cannons of the city farther away.

He even began to dig a deep ditch on the road a mile outside the city.

This is afraid of the strange car that can walk, Wu Hualong saw the intention of the red fur at a glance. Damn, they waited in vain, they would rather die than surrender.

It's good to take this opportunity to see the true strength of this Hantang Group.

The two of them ran back as fast as they could.

In the past two days, the Purple Water has not been idle, they simply measured the depth of the Tamsui Creek, and found that the hydrological situation is much better than that of the Lower Tamsui Creek, and the Purple Water has no problem going up.

Wu Hualong came back and reported the situation in detail, and also vividly depicted the earnestness of digging a deep ditch in Hongmao.

It seems that the spread is not good for the Dutch, and the natives of various communities have begun to come to offer their dues. Is it because our character is not good? Gotta go get it yourself!

Captain Wu Dapeng said: "When you go, you have to take it back with your own hands." If imperialism does not fight, it will not fall! ”

On the deck, Captain Wu Dapeng explained the task in a loud voice.

This time was different, they tried to kill as few people as possible, just run, no need to chase them. When the time comes, just go around to Keelung and catch it. The upper reaches of Tamsui Creek are full of good coal mines, and if they are killed, they have to be cleaned up, which is disgusting.

Each of the traversers thinks they are too loving.

Departure, two 37 guns opened the cannon clothing, the Ming people peeked at it, and were disappointed, this is much worse than the four guns in the city of Geranza I said!

The city of Geranza was a strong place for soldiers and should be heavily defended. It can't be so different!

It's like the difference between a bamboo pole and a red pine tree, between a finger and a thigh.

They pointed and began to talk. Gao Degao Gongzi has long said that there are artillery pieces, and they are all piled up in the warehouse, why not use them? Just thinking about getting a little lady really doesn't make sense. After the business is bigger, he wants the daughter of the prince's family, does he dare to give it? Isn't it in terms of insight-huh?!

The gunner at the first gun position was sensitive, and he said to the gunner-commander and observer: "The Ming people seem to look down on us. ”

The artillery commander took the telescope and observed the distance, and said indifferently: "Let's not be like them, a few beautiful bursts will come in a while, and it will scare them at once." Haven't you heard? Even the handicraft sculptures on the head of the city that could not be beaten were so frightened that the fishing boats did not dare to approach, and they had to go far to dare to go ashore to sell fish......"

"The market is open?"

"Well, I heard it opened yesterday."

"I'll see when I get back—"

"Damn, I heard nothing...... It's all about selling vegetables. ”

"Okay, I can finally start my own small stove."

"Take me one when you open the stove."

"Just one request, don't 'FIRE, FIRE' when you fire the gun......"

"Well said."

About an hour later, the outline of the Hongmao Building appeared in the telescope.

The gun commander said suspiciously: "No, why is it white, I remember that it is red in the photo!" ”

"You forgot? Isn't there a note below that it was painted after the British came? I don't take reading seriously. ”

The gun commander didn't speak, and he remembered.

Tamsui Creek is a large river located in northern Taiwan.

In later generations, it is called the Tamsui River, the main stream is 158.70 kilometers long, the third longest river in Taiwan, its three tributaries are called the Tamsui River after the confluence at the mouth of the Aberdeen, and then flow to the northwest direction, and then flow into the Taiwan Strait at the mouth of the Tamsui Oil Tanker, although the length of this section is only 23.7 kilometers, it is a rare river in Taiwan with a wide river surface, stable flow rate and water transportation.

Of course, the current time-travelers are not stupid enough to use the map of the afterlife, but from the basic direction, it is almost this place.

The Hongmao Building is stuck in the narrowest part of the Tamsui Creek River, and the artillery on it can completely control the river.

This is one of the things where Captain Bowen has confidence.

Cannons sink ships? That's impossible. A ship made of iron? Most likely, the outside is wrapped in iron sheets, and the inside is wooden.

After a detailed discussion with the Reverend Dan Nee, Captain Bowen cared for these men more than the regular Spanish dragoon regiments and musketeer companies.

To the best of their comprehension, Captain Bowen ordered people to prepare. It should be about the same.

He wanted to take a good look at how the black-clothed soldiers, who had less than two hundred, even with the help of more than a hundred Mingren, could break the defenses of the two hundred heroic soldiers he had reorganized!

All the old, weak, sick and women, as well as children and frightened mercenaries, were sent away in advance, believing that they would reach Keelung smoothly along the road opened by the Spani.

Pastor Daniel Ni is Zuihou one to go. And it was forcibly sent away by two soldiers. He did not doubt every word of Pastor Daniel Nee, because those who were frightened would surely exaggerate it unconsciously.

There is no malice in this, just a disguised reminder.

Surrender, to be tried for the use of the laws of the East India Company? For a moment he wanted to laugh but didn't.

The company stipulates that without the permission of the board of directors or the person in charge of the trading station, individuals are not allowed to increase taxes at will, but he has increased taxes. The company stipulated that only taxpayers who were threatened or disobeyed by the company system could be punished with corporal punishment, but because after the tax was raised, the wise people could not pay the taxes, and he burned and whipped the taxpayers, and even beat people to death.

Captain Bowen tried to forget the advice of Pastor Daniel Nee and firmly believed in his decision: this would be Hot Springs!

The handsome young and handsome Captain Bowen was a persistent man who stuck to his philosophy and believed that his efforts would change something. This is truly commendable.

Unfortunately, he met the traversers.

Some people who don't play cards according to common sense, and they also carry equipment that does not belong to this era. It's too bullying.

Captain Bowen suddenly saw a giant ...... that was far larger than any large ship he had ever seen, and had a strange shape The boat, it appeared on the surface of the river like a whistling little rascal who was wandering around.

Two hundred and one Westerners who fantasized that they were the warriors of Hot Springs, were stunned. Is there really such a big ship??

The strange boat lazily tried to reposition itself on the surface of the Tamsui Creek and cut across the river, but it didn't seem to go well—their movements slowed down.

Captain Bowen suddenly drew his sword and shouted at the warriors in a daze: "Fire, fire, sink it!" ”

The valiant soldiers also came to their senses, and the battery in the southwest corner opened fire first, and when a puff of smoke rose, the soldiers found that the shell only made a wave not far from the ship, and missed!

But the ship's movements became a little flustered, more clumsy, and seemed to want to stay away.

The valiant soldiers hahadaxiao.

The other two eighteen-pounder guns were also fired, but they also missed.

Captain Bowen didn't blame the gunners at all, the gun emplacements were temporarily separated, and there was no prior determination of the haode position.

Captain Bowen somewhat regretted separating the artillery. It couldn't be helped, because he had heard more than once that the gun emplacements were easy to destroy by them.

At a distance of less than four hundred meters, he could see without taking out a telescope. He saw many men lying on the side of the ship, pointing at his side. It seems like something is being fought for. They were Akito, and Captain Bowen could see that they were still dressed in blue cloth with their hair wrapped inside, and some of them were wearing the usual hats. Sure enough, it was the Spanish and the Ming people who joined forces.

There is now peace on the Purple Water.

Because of their big knot, Guo Huaiyi and Captain Wu won the bet.

When the Purple Water went up, Guo Huaiyi thought that he should find a place to let them go down, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the city. This proposal was opposed by Captain Wu Jianqiang.

Captain Wu Jianqiang smiled and said, "They will definitely be scared away when they see my boat." ”

"No, not really!" Guo Huai shook his head and said, "The red hairy fan doesn't know the current affairs, and if they don't cripple them, they won't surrender." I've heard them fight with the Franco-Man, and the Franco-Man-Franco-didn't surrender until Zuihou - strangely, they didn't kill each other yet. It really spared the enemy's life. ”

"Then let's make a bet, I'll bet they will run away when they see my boat! Do you dare to bet? Captain Wu Jianqiang ignored Guo Huaiyi's digression, he thought about it and said.

"I'll bet a hundred taels of gold on the knife you lent my brother!" Guo Huai said loudly.

Captain Wu Jianqiang took off the jungle tactical knife from his left shoulder, held it in his hand and said, "Did you say this knife?" ”

Guo Huaiyi's eyes flashed with countless little stars, and he swallowed and said, "Yes...... Do you dare? ”

"This is military supplies, distributed to every team member, I can't say it alone" Seeing Guo Huaiyi's eyes full ......of disappointment, Captain Wu Jianqiang felt that he had something to think, but he couldn't say it, so he said, "However, I can go and ask for ......instructions."

Guo Huaiyi's heart floated again, and he watched Captain Wu Jianqiang enter a hut. After a long time, Captain Wu Jianqiang happily walked out of the hut.

"Lao Guo, I made this bet with you, but there is a request......"

"Anything."

"We want you to pick a hundred young men who have a family business and obey orders, and we will hire them for five taels of silver a month."

"Okay, swear by your palm!"

The two of them patted each other.

Guo Huai thought to himself, this kid Liliang is not small.

He Bin smiled and watched the bet between the two, and was very happy. Whether they win or lose, it will be absolutely beneficial to them, as long as the person is broad-minded. Want to recruit troops, don't you? We waited for a long time, and it was not what I expected.

Lao Guo did a good job, pushing the boat down the river, almost natural!

The most taboo for passenger and cargo ships to suddenly turn around is really nonsense, any ship is taboo. When the Purple Water finally adjusted its direction, Hongmao City had already launched three rounds, each time getting closer to the hull of the Purple Water. The people who watched from the side of the boat were rushed to safety to watch.

After the last shelling, the traversers had a perceptual understanding of the so-called artillery. Not too scared. But still be careful.

You see, knock, knock, the fourth round of shelling of Hongmao City has borne fruit, and the hull of the Zishui has hit two iron balls of about eight kilograms. The hull of the ship was concave in two pieces, and Captain Fang Ming said, it's okay, you don't even need to repair it, just go back and apply some oil.

After that, the security guards started to get nervous, it was our turn.

"High-explosive shells, ready. The target of the first gun position is the southeast battery, and the second gun position is the second floor of Hongmao City, FIRE!"

The No. 1 gunner cursed in his heart, and his words were not counted...... After scolding, his heart calmed down, and with the shaking of the hull, he aimed seriously.

Suddenly, mushrooms began to grow on the red-haired city. At a distance of less than 400 meters, both sides originally thought that it was in their favor, and it seemed that history was still biased in favor of the traversers.

In the five-minute burst, the two guns fired a total of 200 shells, and in addition to the flying shells, Hongmao City suffered about 50 shells. A 25 percent hit rate and a frequency of one shot in three seconds cannot be considered a good result, and the river surface is smoother than the sea surface after all. But the Red-Haired City is no longer what it looks like.

Captain Wu Jianqiang put down the binoculars and sighed, I still have to practice.

Except for the indifferent security team members and crew, the Ming people were all stupid.

They were dumbfounded and stammered.

This, that's okay, okay?
