The defenders on the shore were not actually taken by surprise.

In fact, a day earlier, they had received information that a fleet had appeared near the straits.

Although this will be skeptical.

But there is plenty of preparation here.

Dozens of forts were set up here, guarded day and night.

And here, there are already more than 500 soldiers stationed.

Not to mention, there are also hundreds of thousands of sailors and soldiers on the ships that are anchored and replenished here, resting in this harbor.

What's more, this place is not far from Chichicheng, and the Dutch army there can come to the aid at any time.

Prior to this, because of the defense of the Ming army in Penghu, and when the colonial territory was being fought for, the Netherlands and the Spanish and Portuguese had constant contradictions, and in order to prepare, a lot of fortifications and fortresses were built on this land.

It can be said that ...... It's almost impregnable here.

Even if it is not impregnable, it will not be a problem to stick to it for ten days and half a month.

But...... When the ironclad ship appeared and launched an attack, there was a roar of countless artillery fire, and the batteries on the shore could not reach the ships in the bay.

All...... It's all over.

Destroying.

The power of the flowering bombs was too great, and they were all heavy artillery, and the fifteen-pound howitzer fell directly, and as soon as it exploded, the flames and fragments of the shells and the steel balls in it were splashed everywhere.

The fire is raging, and the vast majority of people ...... They were all blown up and covered in blood.

This person with blurred flesh and blood, burned all over his body and only the charred corpse remained, and the impact on people was very huge.

At this time, Europa was still in the era of black powder.

Although they made many improvements to black powder, it can be said that since the invention of gunpowder in the East and the slow introduction to Europa, the Europa people have been the most concerned about the improvement of black powder.

After all, they are in the 'Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period', and almost all the skills, ideas, and economic foundations are now almost all for the purpose of war, and in order to constantly explore the potential of war, it can be said that they racked their brains and provided all the resources that could be provided.

It's just that the terrible thing about yellow powder is that it completely ignores the rules of the current war.

The range is longer, the power is greater, and the lethality is amazing.

Therefore, when Li Dingguo arrived on the beach, the sound of fire on the beach had fallen sporadically, and only occasionally someone found fish that slipped through the net.

A large number of horses began to pull supplies, everyone cleaned up, and Li Dingguo had no time to stay here.

The first order given was to take the city immediately.

The soldiers are fast, if you don't take it at this time, when will you wait?

Thereupon...... The baggage team can allow them to set off slowly.

Although there were many guns in the baggage corps.

Logically speaking, it is a siege weapon.

But the speed of transportation is still too slow.

Li Dingguo decided to take advantage of the other party's complete unpreparedness, directly select more than 1,000 elite soldiers, and immediately march, if there is a chance, he will do a vote, if there is no opportunity, then besiege the city, and slowly wait for the baggage of the rear team to be transported.

There is no rule in fighting a war.

Although I learned a lot in the military academy, when it came time to be in danger, it was actually a test...... Precisely human nature.

In fact, most of the generals know the art of war, but there are only a few who do not understand the art of war.

But victory or defeat...... The essence is to test the humanity of every general.

You seized the fighter plane, dare not make a decision immediately.

When you encounter difficulties, can you still stay calm and continue to make the best judgments?

Li Dingguo was born to be such a person, once he arrived on the battlefield, he behaved very decisively, in his opinion, the essence of marching and fighting is that once he occupies the first opportunity, then he will take the lead everywhere, and he must not give people any respite. In this way, the thief was naturally passive, and was beaten until they died.

A group of people set off lightly, while the rest of the people continued to stay where they were to rest.

Soon, as soon as Zhang Jingyi landed on the shore, looking at the devastated state in front of him, he couldn't help but want to cover his eyes with his big sleeves.

After all, the loss of life is not something to be appreciated.

Liang Wenwu, who followed Zhang Jingyi, was very knowledgeable, he not only knew ships, but also knew his teacher, so he immediately commanded people to lift the nearby corpses away, and wiped the blood stains as much as possible.

It's just that after all, after a war, the strong smell of blood is difficult to dissipate, but obviously...... Zhang Jingyi obviously felt a lot better.

On land, Zhang Jingyi was a little tired, but it was the first time he landed on this island, he was not idle, and immediately led a team of people to the fort to inspect.

In the afternoon, in the granite fortifications, I barely used a little pastry, and then ...... Then came the latest news.

The news came from Li Dingguo.

The vanguard army led by Li Dingguo rushed to Chichicheng non-stop.

Even their speed is faster than the defeated army in the port.

The city had just received news of the attack on the port, and had not yet begun to be on real alert.

Because on the one hand, this news has not been screened and cannot be determined whether it is true or false, and on the other hand, even if it is attacked, they should assume that the port will last at least a few days.

Even if it takes 10,000 steps back, even if the port falls immediately, the Ming army that attacked the Dutch people will only have to rest before they can continue to advance.

By the time he arrived with his baggage, it would have been a few days later.

It's just what they think, but the reality is ......

The Ming army suddenly arrived.

The other side's military fortress didn't even have time to close the gate.

It was immediately broken down.

Immediately, muskets were fired, and even ...... There were also people at the gates of the fortress, where a machine-gun position was set up.

So, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Chi Embedded fell into the hands of Li Dingguo.

The Donglin army lost seven men, killed more than 200 thieves, and took more than 1,000 Dutch prisoners.

As soon as Zhang Jing got the report, his spirit was shocked, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "Excellent, then, we don't have to go to the red embedded, pass the order, and immediately march into the city of Relansha." ”

Everyone was ordered, and the Donglin Army, which had finished resting, almost non-stop, immediately marched to the destination.

Don't look at Zhang Jing's calm and calm posture on the side, in fact, Zhang Jingyi at this time is actually quite desperate.

His own fleet came alone, and the gunpowder and supplies brought were limited.

Then it is necessary to quickly sweep the Netherlands in this Ryukyu area, gain a foothold, and cut off the food routes and supplies of the Europa fleet in order to succeed.

Once the war is scorched, then there are Dutch people on the island, and even in the Northern Ryukyus, and Spanish colonial troops may rush to the aid of the Netherlands. On the other hand, the Combined Fleet is bound to gather countless ships and frantically attack the port in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the Liaodong Fleet.

Therefore, now it is tantamount to a race against time, if Zhang Jingyi can't quickly cut off the back road of the combined fleet, then his own back road will be cut off by others.

………………

Inside the city of Geranza.

This is actually Taiwan City.

The Dutch are here...... At first it was called Orange, and then it was changed to Geranza.

Here, they expelled the original natives and Han people, and drove them to live in the nearby mountains and forests, while they built their own cities here.

In order to show the determination of the Dutch people to permanently occupy the land, the Dutch people spent countless manpower and material resources, and even the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company, which consisted of 17 people, unanimously decided to bring in many soldiers, merchants and craftsmen from the Netherlands to settle here.

The construction of these numerous forts in itself exceeded the value of the trade points of the waterway.

This is because, in the eyes of the Dutch people, it is an investment in the future.

At this time, the governor of the Netherlands was Cohen, and he quickly received news from the port.

At first, he was incredulous because the news was so bizarre that it was completely beyond his imagination.

At least in his opinion, Daming does not have a large-scale naval fleet.

Although there is a fleet of armed merchant ships, most of them are still mainly cargo ships, but some weapons have been added, although the Ming army will add some new ships, but these new ships ...... It's a minority.

The reason is simple, the wood used for shipbuilding requires many processes to prevent seawater erosion, so in Cohen's vision, it will take at least fifteen to thirty years for the Ming to build a truly large-scale fleet.

This is no joke, at least in this era, any navy, needs this long cycle, without exception.

Since they didn't have a full-scale fleet, and almost all of them were controlled by the combined fleets in the vast ocean, how did they have the courage to get here directly?

Having lost the right to control the sea, could it be that he relied entirely on luck to attack the Ryukyus?

This is obviously impossible, because to attack here, you need at least a sizable fleet, and this ......

The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable he felt.

It wasn't until the terrible news came from Achichi, and after the fall of Achimo, that Cohen didn't know about it...... These speculations of his own became ridiculous.

So, after he recognized the facts, he immediately issued an order, and the entire city of Geranza was on full alert, while more than 2,300 Dutch soldiers rushed into the fortress to hold on.

As long as you stick to it, there is a way.

What's more, this fortress is a truly impregnable fortress, and the soldiers in the city have plenty of gunpowder, fresh water, and enough food to last for a year.

Don't say a year, I'm afraid that if you hold on for three months, then the Ming army won't be able to hold on.

Even...... Cohen predicts that this time could be shortened by only ten days.

Because the Ming army was unable to supply, these Ming troops were afraid that they would not be able to hold on.

He quickly ordered his attendants to find someone, and then said menacingly: "Why is there no warning beforehand? Doesn't it mean that Ming Guo has no more ships to go to sea? ”

The person who came, but he looked very trembling, and this person was Gu Kai, the general manager hired by Cohen.
