Li Yanzhi did not guess wrong, the Dutch had already discovered his support army at this time.

At this time, the Dutch had been attacking the main village for three days, but they had not been able to break through the village.

There are nearly 30,000 Han Chinese around Ben Port, and nearly one-third of them are in the main village. Some time ago, he suffered heavy losses in a battle with the Dutch, and two or three thousand young men were killed by the Dutch. But there are still more than 2,000 young and strong men in the main village, and the defense of the city is not a field battle, so everyone in the village has been mobilized, and they have united as one to defend the city until now.

And the strength of the Dutch was not very large, because some of them had to be left on the ship, and only more than 500 Dutch soldiers attacked inland, plus more than 1,000 native Javanese servants. Of course, the real combat effectiveness is the 500 Dutch soldiers, and the indigenous servant army can only fight soy sauce, and it is okay to fight a good fight, but it is not possible to fight a tough battle.

The artillery of the Dutch was all armed sailboats, and the armed sailboats were too big to drive into the Benz Harbor Creek and go deep inland, and there was not much to do with the arquebuses in their hands and the main wall.

Because of the successive attacks on the Sailing Village and the Qianzhai Village, and the destruction of the fleet in Bon Harbor, the Dutch governor Putmann was very arrogant, thinking that the Han people in Bon Harbor were no different from the other local natives who were conquered by the Dutch, so he dared to go deep into the interior with only more than 1,000 troops. In his opinion, as soon as the Dutch arquebus went off, the Han Chinese in Bon Harbor would surrender. However, I didn't expect to hit a hard nail.

Although the wall of the main wall is only more than a zhang high, and the ditch outside the wall is not deep, it is difficult for the Dutch who lack siege equipment to break the city.

Over the course of three days, the Dutch filled in the trenches, built rudimentary ladders, and stormed the walls under the cover of arquebuses, leaving behind dozens of corpses of the native servants.

Putman was reluctant to lose his Dutch soldiers, but the native servant army was not used.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I'm afraid that the losses will be great if you rely on a hard attack, so it's better to unload the cannons on the ship and bring a few of them, and use the artillery to break through the city walls." Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas suggested.

Putman touched his chin, pretended to think deeply for a moment, and shook his head: "Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas, what you said makes sense, but the cannon is too heavy, and it is too difficult to transport it here. ”

Nicholas said urgently: "The difficulty is better than the loss of the lives of the soldiers!" ”

Putman sneered: "What kind of soldier is the Javanese monkey, it's a big deal to catch another batch if they die." Nicholas, tell those monkeys that if they don't have an order to retreat in the next siege, they will all be shot! On the other hand, if they were able to storm the city, each of them had a great reward, with the first to ascend the city to be rewarded with a hundred denarii, and the others each with ten denarii. ”

Nicholas sighed, "That's all there is to it, and I hope the monkeys will fight to the death for the silver coins." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, we have found Han reinforcements three miles to the north." Just as Putman was planning another siege, a man suddenly came to report.

"Let's give up the siege, line up, and destroy their reinforcements." Putman ordered.

"I will crush their reinforcements in front of all the Ming people in the city, and then pull all the captives under the city and shoot them one by one, so that they know what will happen if they resist my Dutch East India Company!" Putman sneered.

Five hundred Dutch soldiers and a thousand servants quickly withdrew from under the walls and lined up in the wheat fields. Putman divided his army into two phalanxes, and 200 Dutch musketeers lined up in front of the main village of Bon Harbor to block the gate of the village and prevent the Ming people inside Bon Harbor from joining forces with the outside. Another 300 Dutch soldiers plus 1,000 servants lined up alone, tasked with destroying reinforcements.

Through the binoculars, looking at the Ming reinforcements on the opposite side, when he saw the messy clothes and deliberately messy formations worn by Li Yanzhi's subordinates, Potman laughed: "Nicholas, it's so funny to see that the Ming people are even women. ”

Nicholas also smiled and said, "Lord Governor, the Akito must be afraid that the castle will be breached by us, so we will send reinforcements from other places. My lord, such an enemy does not need to be fully armed, you only need to give me a hundred musketeers, and I will crush them. ”

Putman smiled and shook his head: "What I want is not to defeat, but to take as many prisoners as possible, and then take the captives to attack the city and force the Ming people in the castle to surrender." Putman, I will meet you head-on with three hundred musketeers, and you command the 1,000 Javanese monkeys to outflank them from both flanks and capture them as much as you can. ”

"As you wish, Lord Doge." Nicholas gave a military salute and turned away.

"My warriors, the arquebuses are loaded, then line up and get ready to attack!" Putman ordered.

Under Potman's command, three hundred Dutch musketeers marched north in three rows in a neat line. In Putman's opinion, as long as a volley of arquebuses was fired, the Ming reinforcements would collapse, and in order to win time for the native servant army commanded by Nicholas, the three hundred Dutch musketeers did not march quickly.

Three miles to the north, Li Yanzhi also watched all this, and when he saw that there were only three hundred red-haired ghosts facing him head-on, Li Yanzhi laughed, knowing that his plan to confuse the enemy had succeeded.

"Pass my order, the whole army will attack!" Li Yan said bluntly. Since the red-haired ghost wants to outflank the siege, let's destroy the enemy army in front of him before the arrival of his two wings of troops.

With Li Yanzhi's order, the 800 Praetorian Guards advanced rapidly, but the 80 gunners who walked in the front were carrying 20 tiger squat cannons in groups of four, each tiger squatting cannon was 36 catties, and the four people carried it extremely easily.

Seeing the Ming army quickly pressing towards him, Lentman knew that his strategy of outflanking him had been seen through by the Ming, so he simply ordered the three hundred musketeers to stop, line up in a firing queue, and wait for the Ming reinforcements to enter the firing range.

"Lord Governor, Akito is only a mile away from us!"

"Lord Governor, Akito is still five hundred meters away from us!"

The lookouts around him kept reporting the distance between the two sides.

"Lord Governor, Akito is only a hundred meters away from us!"

Putman's eyebrows moved, and he didn't give the order to fire.

In this era, muskets had pitiful range and accuracy. The arquebus has a theoretical range of 100 meters, but the effective range is only about 50 meters, and if you want to achieve maximum lethality, it is best to shoot at a distance of 20 meters. So in the battles of Western countries, there are often situations where the armies of the two sides fire face to face, and each time they engage, both sides suffer huge losses, until one side can no longer bear the casualties and collapses.

Putman's men were not regular troops, but pirates, sailors, and unemployed peasants, all of whom could not survive in Europe and chose to come to the Far East. But even so, the natives of the East are still no match for them.

In Putman's view, the Ming people on the opposite side were no different from the natives of the islands such as Java in the South Seas, and the Ming people on the other side did not even have a rudimentary bow and arrow, and they all held sticks wrapped in cloth, and they did not pose any threat to themselves at all. Since this is the case, then get closer and fight again, it is best to make them surrender in fear with one round of shooting!

Putman didn't know that Akito was not holding a stick, but also an arquebus, but why he was wrapped in rags to confuse the enemy. Moreover, the arquebuses in the hands of the Janissaries were no worse than the arquebuses of the Dutch soldiers in terms of range and accuracy. The Rumi Gun produced by the Royal Arsenal was considered a relatively advanced musket in this era.

The distance between the two sides was only eighty meters, and Potman still did not give the order to shoot, although this distance was enough for the arquebus to reach the Akito, but the lethality was still not much.

Wait, wait for the Ming people to get closer, Putman said secretly. At the same time, looking to the sides, the native servant army commanded by Nicholas was outflanking from both flanks, and it only took another five or six minutes to reach the rear of the Ming people.

However, at this time, Akito on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

"God, what's that?" Putman suddenly noticed that the one hundred and ten Akito in the front were placing things on the ground, and he couldn't help but pick up the binoculars and look at them, and saw that the Akito lifted the rags, revealing black tubes under the rags.

"God, artillery! Akito actually has so many artillery! Putman's eyes widened, and although the cannon was small, far from being comparable to a cannon, it was indeed a cannon, and it was so close to his own!

"Stupid Mingren, they put the artillery so close, don't they know that the artillery needs to be reloaded?" Potman sneered. It takes at least a minute to reload the ammunition, and the distance between the two sides is only 80 meters, and it only takes 20 seconds, so it is convenient to rush to the effective range of nearly 50 meters, and then shoot all the Ming gunners.

"Forward, fast forward!" Potman shouted.

However, before the Dutch soldier could take a few steps, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in his glasses, and then a violent roar was heard, and countless projectiles flew like hail carried by the wind.

Unbeknownst to Potman, the Praetorian Guard gunners had already reloaded the Tiger Squat Cannon while they were resting. The four gunners put down the Tiger Squat Cannon, lifted the rags that covered it, and the two gunners immediately fixed the front paws of the Tiger Squat Gun with nails, and the other gunner quickly lit up the fire fold and lit the loaded fire rope, the whole process did not take a minute at all, ten seconds was enough.

Each tiger squat cannon was loaded with 100 iron nails and irons, and then blocked with large lead bullets outside, and when fired, 100 scattered bullets were fired at a time, which could cover more than a square circumference, and the range was as much as 200 meters, while the Dutch who were less than 80 meters away were completely within the range, and 20 tiger squat cannons completely enveloped 300 Dutch soldiers.

A terrible scream sounded, and the three hundred Dutch soldiers were beaten to the ground like a torrential rain hitting plantains, covered by a storm of projectiles.

Dozens of Dutch soldiers were shot dead on the spot, falling to the ground without saying a word, and many more were not hit by the vital point, but dropped their arquebuses and let out a terrible scream. Some unlucky guys were shot by more than a dozen projectiles at the same time, and their bodies were full of blood holes and bleeding, but they did not die for a while, and they screamed miserably.

Potman was still watching through the binoculars, but a projectile happened to break through the telescope and shot into his eye, and Potman screamed and threw the telescope, covering his right eye with his hand.

After just one round of shooting, the three hundred Dutch soldiers were shot in pieces, and under Li Yanzhi's order, the seven hundred Janissaries crossed the tiger squat cannon and continued to advance.

The sound of "bang bang bang" firecrackers rang out one after another, and the Dutch soldiers who had lost their resistance were constantly shot and killed, and some Dutch soldiers threw down their arquebuses and surrendered, but they were still shot mercilessly. The battle was not over, and the Janissaries did not have the time to contain the prisoners.

"Surrender, we surrender!" Putman covered his eyes and shouted. A projectile flew in and shot him in the stomach, and Putman fell to the ground with a pop.

Half a mile away, Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas watched everything that happened in the distance in amazement, he never imagined that the three hundred musketeers under the command of the Governor General himself would be wiped out by the Ming people in this way, and the speed was so fast.

Where is this rabble? Equipped with so many artillery and muskets, it is clearly the most elite army!

Fooled! But it was too late, even the Governor was killed, and his side had already lost!

"Retreat, retreat to the beach!" Nicholas shouted.

There are also armed sailing ships on the beach, with dozens of cannons on board, as long as you return to the coast, you can escape.

"Scatter the pursuit, don't let them escape!" Looking at the red-haired ghost servant army not far away, Li Yanzhi said coldly.

From the mouths of Zheng Zhilong and others, Li Yanzhi knew that the red-haired ghost did not have many troops in the army, and if he killed more today, he would be better able to deal with it in the future. If you can kill all the Dutch infantry attacking Bon Harbor, the red-haired ghost will not have much strength in Taiwan.

In the Daming Sea, the red-haired ghost is a great threat to the Royal Maritime Trade Firm, Li Yanzhi recruited the army to train sailors, in order to control the Fujian sea, and then control the sea trade, so sooner or later there will be a big battle with the red-haired ghost. The combat power of the Daming sea ship is far inferior to the red-haired ghost plywood ship, and it is just by fighting on land to beat the red-haired ghost and consume its vital strength as much as possible!

Of course, outside the gate of the main walled city of Ben Gang, there were two hundred red-haired ghost musketeers, Li Yanzhi divided four hundred troops, ordered Ji Da to pursue them, and he took the remaining three hundred firecrackers to force towards the two hundred Dutch soldiers. Although the number of fleeing servant soldiers was large, in Li Yanzhi's eyes, those black monkey-like guys were far less valuable than these two hundred red-haired ghosts.

However, it seems that there is no need for Li Yan to make a direct move, seeing that the defeat of the red-haired ghost has been decided, Zheng Zhibao took the main village Qingzhuang to kill.

Seeing that the main force of 300 led by Governor Potman was easily annihilated, and the 1,000 servant army fled, the two hundred Dutch soldiers panicked and had no desire to fight at all. When he was about to retreat, the back road was cut off by Li Yanzhi and others. The Dutch were instinctively frightened by this army, which had easily wiped out the main force led by the governor.

Zheng Zhibao led more than 2,000 young men in the city to kill, quickly surrounded the two hundred Dutch soldiers, seeing that they were cornered, under the leadership of the major, the two hundred Dutch soldiers decisively laid down their arms and chose to surrender.
