Zhu Jie nodded and said: "Yes, Yu Gong, order the second fleet to prepare for the landing at Luermen, Mu Feng, prepare a town of troops, and forcibly land, at least eighty artillery pieces need to be mobilized to be able to take Relanza and Chiji City in the shortest possible time!" ”

Qin Mufeng replied: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers have already been prepared, and the Tianxiong Army has mobilized a total of hundreds of artillery pieces to accompany them this time, and it is not a problem to take Relanza and Chiji City!" It's just that there are at least fifty or sixty artillery pieces in the Luermen Fort, and the Dutch artillery stationed here plus the infantry to protect it is only afraid that there will be more than six hundred people, Deng Xiong wants to easily take the Luermen Fort, but it is not so easy to ......"

Deng Xiong on the side said angrily: "Don't worry, Lord Inspector, the last general will definitely not embarrass the emperor and you, a small Luermen fort is still difficult for us, isn't it five or six hundred people?" Our special operations battalion has dispatched 500 people, each of whom is the elite of the elite, and its combat power is the strongest in the world! By surprise, it doesn't take much effort to defeat them! ”

Zhu Jie nodded and said, "Deng Xiong, take the Luermen Fort, I will personally give you wine!" Let's go down and prepare! ”

The Ming Empire dealt with a small city of Relansha and Chijicheng, and it was naturally a pearl of wisdom in its hands, and it didn't take much effort; However, for today's Yuyi, it's a different story.

In today's battle, I almost dropped my jaw in shock, this Luermen military port, originally there was no fort, or the fort was very small, just a few artillery, the Dutch always thought that with the strong fortifications of the red city and Gelanza, even if the Ming army came across the sea, it was impossible to take two cities in three or five months.

But with the rise of the Tianwei Army and the Tianxiong Army, the Ming Fleet became famous in the first battle, and the Dutch became nervous, Cohen knew very well that without a strong armed force, it was undoubtedly difficult to hold Tainan, so the East India Company allocated a huge amount of money, not only installed a large number of artillery on the two fortresses, but also built two large forts at the same time, although the number of artillery in the two forts was fifty or sixty, which was almost the same as the number of artillery batteries in Kagoshima at the beginning, but these are the most advanced red artilleryAmong them, there are several flowering cannons transported from the West, and their combat power is far stronger than that of Dongying's forts.

However, even so, today's battle will still surprise you!

Dozens of main warships of the Ming fleet bombarded indiscriminately for the continuous attack of Luermen harbor, and in one day, thousands of shells were fired at Luermen, blowing up the two batteries beyond recognition, although the Dutch also did not show weakness to carry out a counterattack, but, obviously, completely fell into the downwind, some of the bluestone slabs on the covering role of the fort were blown up by the flowering cannons, and in one day, more than ten artillery pieces were destroyed! After all, although the artillery on the fort is relatively hidden, it can't be moved after all, once the specific location is discovered, the artillery fire of the Ming army will come over and forcibly destroy!

As for the artillerymen and infantry on the battery, there were also many casualties.

It was clear to him that if he continued to fight like this, the fort would only be able to hold out for seven days at most, and after seven days, the fort could be completely destroyed at any time! The Luermen Military Port will definitely fall into the hands of the Ming army!

Without the control of the Luermen Military Port, the Ming army will drive straight in, and the troops will surround the city of Reranza and Chichi!

I'm going to die of worry, I still underestimate the strength of the Ming fleet, they are equipped with too many flowering cannons, but how can they resist?

"General, if you want me to say, let's transfer the artillery in the city to defend the Luermen! As long as we hold the Luermen, the Ming army will not be able to help us! ”

Phillips said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, relying only on the artillery of Luermen, it will definitely not be able to compete with the Ming fleet for a long time!" ”

"Transferring artillery?"

He said in a slur voice: "If artillery reinforcements are transferred, what about the defense of Geranza and Red Embedded City?" Once Luermen falls, we will not have time to withdraw our artillery, and the Ming fleet will definitely not give us time to evacuate calmly, not to mention, what if the Ming army forcibly lands and raids the battery? At the time of the Great War of Toying, Kagoshima was taken in this way, and the Ming fleet had a powerful army of marines, and the combat power was rare in the world! ”

"General, where can I take care of so much now?"

Phillips said urgently: "If the Ming army captures the Luermen, even if we can resist for a while with the strong fortifications of Geranza and Chijicheng, but once the city is besieged, we will still be unable to escape the fate of being surrounded and annihilated, even if our main fleet comes, can we defeat the Ming fleet or a matter between the two, keep the Luermen, keep the Luermen is the best policy, as long as the Luermen is in hand, then we can attack and retreat, once the fleet comes to help, we can also take them to land, or withdraw, The deer door is lost, and we have nowhere to run if we want to! Besides, now, we still have two warships cruising along the southeast coast, if the Ming army wants to force a landing in other places, it will definitely not be able to escape our alert forces, and we can deploy troops to block them at any time! ”

He asked, "What about the two warships?" Is there any news from Sam and Van Erbasten? ”

Phillips replied: "General, now the two warships are still safe, every hour, the two warships will alternately send back information, as long as they are cruising in the sea, the Ming army will not have a chance to raid us!" ”

With a little head, he replied: "Since this is the case, then give an order, transfer an artillery team from Geranza and Chichicheng, go to Luermen, gallop to Luermen, and resist the attack of the Ming fleet!" ”

It is safer to defend against the enemy at sea than against the enemy and on land!

You must know that whether it is the Tianwei Army or the Tianxiong Army, there are tens of thousands, or even 100,000 troops, and the combat power is extremely strong, unless the army of Batavia pours out, otherwise, on the land of Yizhou, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Ming Army Tianxiong Army!

As soon as he began to deploy again, the artillery began to be sent to Luermen to aid the defense of Luermen.

However, what surprised him was that almost at the same time, the special operations battalion of the Second Fleet had already been dispatched, riding on a battleship, together with an amphibious combat battalion behind, and went straight to Canglongkou.
