The Dutch dreamed of taking Formosa, which is the island of Xiaoliuqiu Taiwan, but there were Ming Dynasty pirates entrenched before, and the power of the Ming Dynasty pirates was still extremely strong in this area, and even the Dutch did not dare to provoke, but with the strengthening of the Dutch power, there were constantly adventurers coming to the far east to adventure, which greatly increased their strength, so in the face of the current Lin Fei, they were not afraid.

Although I heard that Lin Fei was an extremely powerful prince in the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch boasted that their strength was the best in the world, so they would not be afraid of Lin Fei's strength at all.

This has led to the contradictions between the two sides, which are increasing day by day, and after all, there is a big war now!

Of course, now on Xiaoliuqiu, not only the Dutch have built a big city and want to compete with Lin Fei, but even Spain, the overlord who has fallen lonely, also wants to compete for the island of Taiwan, this piece of fat meat.

The Spaniards founded the city of Keelung in northern Taiwan, while the Dutch founded the city of Geranza in the southwestern part of the island. Compared to the small castles of the Spaniards, which numbered a few hundred people, the Dutch city of Geranza was much larger.

The city of Geranza was built in the southwest corner of Xiaoliuqiu, which was later known as Tainan, and it was a castle composed of a series of castles. The core of the fort is built on a small island outside the harbor, four kilometers from the main island of Xiaoliuqiu.

The inner fort is the core castle in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the fifth year of Chongzhen was completed, and the outer fort was completed in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. It took a total of eighteen years to build. ”

The Fort of Geranza was a fort built by the Dutch with great care in the age of thermal weapons, and was defended by a large number of heavy artillery.

"The inner fort is square, about 115 meters wide, sitting on the north and facing south, a total of three floors, the wall is about 2 zhang 9 feet, 3 feet 8 inches thick, the four corners of the top floor are built with a protruding 17 zhang 4 feet of the fortress, the wall thickness is 5 feet 8 inches, and there is a watchtower attached. Fifteen heavy artillery pieces were set up on the top floor, and deep wells leading to the sea were dug in the north and south to prevent fire. On each side of the second floor, there is a Zhongyuan fort, which is equipped with 12 heavy guns. On the north side, there is a small door and brick staircase that leads down to the basement and ammunition depot. ”

"The outer fort is low, and it is attached to the northwest corner of the inner fort, with a wall thickness of three feet and eight inches, and a breastwork wall four feet high, and there are bastions protruding from the northwest and southwest corners. The outer fort is 165 meters long and 77 meters wide. ”

"The entire castle wall is paved with bricks, made of oyster ash and sand made of glutinous rice juice and sand to make a triad of clay to make it. The bricks of the inner fort are one and a half inches thick, and the outer fort is one and a half inches. The entire castle was the residence and military center of the Dutch governor in Taiwan. ”

To the east of the Fort of Geranza, on the land of the main island of Xiaoliuqiu, there is also a Chikan Fort. Chikan Fort was smaller, and "the fort consisted of a large platform and two small platforms in the southwest corner. The entrance to the fort is located in the center of the west side, and there are gun mounts in the east, west, north and south, with a total of eight heavy guns. The circumference of the whole building is 140 meters, the height of the building is three zhang and six feet, there are cellars and wells in the fort, and the outer wall is 1 meter and 80 centimeters thick. ”

It can be said that the strength of the Dutch in Xiaoliuqiu is not trivial, Lin Fei wants to win the entire Xiaoliuqiu, and Geranzabao is an obstacle that must be pulled out.

This time to attack the Dutch, the first thing to get rid of is this Relanza Fort, which has become the biggest obstacle for Liu Lingyu to develop Xiaoliuqiu, and although the size of Xiaoliuqiu is not as large as a province in the mainland, it has great potential, and Lin Fei attaches great importance to it.

This time, not only did he send most of his naval divisions, but also many guards and generals and soldiers who knew how to sail, a total of more than 30,000 navy and almost 70,000 army, forming an army of 100,000 people.

This military force can directly destroy everything, although the Fort of Geranza is heavily defended, it will definitely not be able to stop Lin Feijun's footsteps!

Of course, in addition to his invincible army, there are naturally a lot of artillery guns of all kinds, and in three years, Lin Fei has developed a mature steam engine, which has long been used in industrial production, and there are also high-tech products such as large-scale hydraulic forging presses, which have brought Lin Feijun's weapons and equipment manufacturing capacity to a new level.

"This time, our army attacked the city of Geranza by land, and the first thing to capture was Chikan Fort. After conquering Chikan Fort, the castle of Geranza becomes a lonely city on a small island! ”

Zheng Yuhu, commander-in-chief of the navy, said that he is an outstanding elite who has grown up step by step in the navy, and his status is very close to the top ten generals under Lin Fei's command, and he is one of the three major generals of the navy.

This time, Lin Fei let him lead the navy, and he also had deep hopes for him, hoping that this talented naval general could really grow up in the big war and become a general under Lin Fei who could fight with the Western naval powers!

After all, although the Netherlands is a coachman on the sea, and the current navy is the first power, but in fact, the national strength and population of the Dutch limit his development, and in the Far East, it is impossible to draw too many troops to fight, which is Lin Fei's home advantage.

"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and our army's 100,000 troops are dispatched together, which is enough to crush the city of Relansha!"

The three army generals who came to fight were Jin Dafei, Lin Suran and Xu Feiran, who were also very interested in naval warfare, so they took the initiative to ask for orders to come and take command of nearly 70,000 troops.

Now the three generals are also generals who command 30,000 people, and the three of them are dispatched together, which also gives the Dutch a big face, and also represents Lin Fei's determination to win.

"The three generals should not be careless, although this battle will be won, but how to win, what results are obtained, we still have to discuss, we can't let the army of the grandfather of the country sacrifice in vain, the three generals said yes?"

Although Zheng Yuhu is young, his face shows an extremely resolute look.

"Hahahaha, General Yuhu is worthy of being the general personally ordered by the grandfather of the country, this is naturally necessary, when has our army suffered a loss, although this Dutchman was born to a red-haired ghost, but he is still flesh and blood, you just look at it, the war on land, no one can let our army lose!"

Jin Dafei showed a proud look, this is their ambition to win a hundred battles, this is the confidence that has been tempered thousands of times!

"I naturally know the ability of the three generals, since this is the case, the young generals will prepare for coastal defense, and it will depend on the three generals to take the city of Geranza!"

Zheng Yuhu clenched his fists and said.

……………………

The Dutch had long known about Lin Fei's arrival, but instead of going out of the city to meet him, they retreated in the castle, ready to rely on the fortress and cannons to defend it.

The three generals sneered one after another, Jin Dafei waved his hand, and suddenly the flag soldiers waved the command flag, and the artillerymen immediately took action, unloading all the 100 18-pounder guns from the gun trucks, and neatly arranging them on the saline-alkali ground by the sea, which was quite spectacular.
