658 [Lure the Enemy to Ambush]
Wan Bangyan, who was born in the Jiangxi Navy and was the commander of the Taiwan Fleet of the Datong Navy, was stationed near the Penghu Islands for a long time.
The reason why Wan Bangyan was thrown here was because most of the Han people in Zhuluo County organized the migration for Zheng Zhilong. Zhao Han was a little uneasy, and did not dare to send Zheng Zhilong's subordinates to Taiwan to garrison.
A 400-ton battleship, more than a dozen 200-ton warships, and more than a dozen 150-ton warships. Wan Bangyan is confident that he will defeat the four Dutch warships, but he will definitely have to pay the price, and the 650-ton Hector alone is enough for the Datong Navy to drink a pot.
Historically, when Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, he claimed that he had sunk the Hector with a salvo of 10,000 cannons.
However, according to the Dutch records, it was the Dutch navy that misoperated and accidentally detonated the powder magazine, and it didn't take long for it to blow itself up.
In any case, it is impossible for Li Dingguo to send troops this time by boat.
Naval battles are one thing, transporting troops is another. In the event of a fight with a Dutch warship during the transportation of troops, one of them was accidentally sunk, and the army non-commissioned officers sank with it.
Moreover, the areas in Tainan that are convenient for landing, under the cover of the fire of the defense artillery of the city of Geranza, Zheng Chenggong was able to land easily one by one, because he figured out the terrain and climate in advance, pinched the short time of high tide, and used the tide to land on the shallower coast in advance.
Li Dingguo and Wan Bangyan did not choose to take risks.
Anyway, it's only sixty miles away, and the Datong Army can overcome obstacles along the way, and it can also walk through it stubbornly.
I didn't bring artillery, I didn't bring much food and grass, because I had to cross several small rivers and I had to rush to rescue.
Armed with axes and swords, the soldiers chopped down weeds and vines in the woods. When encountering a river, it is not wide anyway, so cut down trees on the spot to build a pontoon bridge.
Two days later, they approached the Madou indigenous settlement.
There was a war going on here, and the remnants of the Madou natives, the Mujiayanwan aborigines, and the Han rebel army joined forces to fight against the Dutch pursuers. And among the Dutch pursuers, there are also many Madou natives!
The bottom aborigines have a deep hatred for the Netherlands.
Hearing that the Han Chinese had rebelled, they immediately responded en masse. Even though the Han Chinese have been defeated, even if their leader is using the Dutch as dogs, there are still many indigenous brothers who are willing to stand up and fight. This was not the first time, they had been at war with the Dutch for eight of the previous twenty years.
The missionaries built the school in Madoushe, and at the moment it was smoking billowing smoke.
The rebel coalition was clearly defeated, and about 2,000 men fled north in the woods. The Dutch soldiers did not chase quickly, but the native servant army fought bravely one by one, wanting to exchange the heads of their compatriots for the appreciation of the colonists.
"Brother Wu, how long will it take to see the officers and soldiers?" Mo asked while running.
Wu Hualong said: "It's almost there, it's almost there." “
Mona is a warrior of the Madou Society, who is very good at hunting and has a lot of prestige in the tribe. His father, who had been killed by the Dutch, hated his own leader very much, because it was the Dutch who had supported him by force.
There are many clansmen who have the same idea as Mona, and this time there are more than 200 Madou warriors who stand up and fight together with the Han people.
Mona ran forward through a patch of woods when he heard a trumpet in front of him.
"Hey, hey!"
It was the Datong army cutting down trees and carrying logs to build a pontoon bridge.
Wu Hualong listened carefully and said in surprise: "It's Han, there are many Han people in front!" ”
They sped forward, only to hear a brass whistle again.
But it was the sentinels who crossed the river in advance to guard them, and they also discovered them and immediately blew the whistle to warn.
On the other side of the river, Li Dingguo shouted: "The whole army is immediately armed." Warriors in armor, ready to meet the enemy! ”
About 2,000 men marched in armor, and at this moment they raised their firearms and aimed at the other side of the river.
Although Wu Hualong didn't see the sentry hiding behind the tree, he hurriedly shouted: "Our own people, our own people, we are all Han people, and these indigenous brothers are also our own people!" “
In a short time, the whole army crossed the river.
Li Dingguo asked: "Look at your appearance, have you already fought?" “
Wu Hualong cried: "More than 10,000 people rose up and originally occupied Chiji City. But the red-haired ghost's artillery is powerful, and there are many of them, and it is estimated that they were removed from ships or city walls. Brother Guo died in battle, and the rest of the brothers and sisters were either killed or scattered, and now there are more than 1,000 people left.
Li Dingguo wanted to scold a few words, but when he saw that they were embarrassed, he only said: "How many pursuers are there in the enemy's army?" “
Wu Hualong said: "There are only about 100 red-haired ghosts, and there are two or three thousand natives who are dogs for red-haired ghosts. They have been biting behind, and they are probably about to catch up.
Li Dingguo asked, "Do you dare to go back and lure the enemy?" “
Wu Hualong gritted his teeth and said, "Dare!" Even if you die, you have to lure the pursuers over! “
Li Dingguo immediately set up an ambush, and Wu Hualong selected hundreds of warriors and turned back on the spot to lure the enemy.
Mona also took the Madou warrior and volunteered to follow.
Mo said excitedly as he walked: "Your Han officers and soldiers are really powerful, there are a lot of armor and firearms, and the red-haired ghost will definitely not be able to defeat them." “
Wu Hualong said proudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are millions of troops, all of them are such warriors, the red-haired ghost is dead this time!" “
They walked back about two miles and ran into the natives who were exploring their path.
"In front, in front!" The native soldiers shouted.
Wu Hualong also shouted in horror: "Escape!" ”
Mona immediately understood and said to the warriors around him, "Hurry up and shout for your life together!" ”
"Run, the pursuers are coming!"
The Madou Society and the Mujia Walking Warriors, a total of more than 400 people, shouted in panic at this moment. The Han rebels also shouted in a haphazard voice, enough to show their horror.
The army of indigenous servants of the four tribes was still more than 1,700 people at this time.
They heard the shouts from afar, and they all became excited, and they screamed in pursuit. There was no formation at all, and the tribe was a unit, scattering and chasing in the forest.
The 12 Dutch soldiers in the rear had already left their artillery in the city. At this moment, there is no hurry, continue to advance slowly, and shoot in array at any time.
Thousands of Datong troops, all hiding in the bushes or hiding behind big trees.
The rebel army that lured the enemy rushed quickly, and hundreds of meters behind them were the pursuers.
"Bang bang bang!"
Shots rang out in the woods, and the Datong soldiers shot separately, and the indigenous pursuers who rushed to the front fell two or three hundred people on the spot.
"Doodoo Dot Da~~~"
The trumpet sounded, the musketeers loaded their bayonets, and the pikemen, armed with their spears, immediately began a freestyle charge.
And those indigenous soldiers would have collapsed long ago when they encountered an ambush!
They knew the power of the firecrackers, which were subdued by the firecrackers of the Dutch. Now that I hear the sound of gunfire all over the forest, where is the courage to fight?
"There are gunshots, a lot of arquebuses!"
The Dutch commander Denkel, frightened by the sound of the gunfire, did not wait for the natives to flee back, and ordered: "Retreat at once, and quickly withdraw to the castle!" "
Wu Hualong and Mo Na, with Han Chinese and indigenous warriors, followed behind the Datong army in pursuit.
Along the way, they repeatedly encountered indigenous soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and they were killed without saying a word. After killing the indigenous soldiers, the Han Chinese, who did not have regular weapons, threw away the wooden sticks in their hands, snatched the weapons of the indigenous soldiers and continued to charge.
The Datong army only charged, and all the prisoners were handed over to the rebel army.
And the method of the rebel army is to kill all the prisoners, they have already killed the red eye!
Dankel, with the Dutch soldiers, quickly withdrew to a river with the rafts they had crossed before.
Just as Denkel was about to board the raft to cross the river, several hundred native soldiers fled, apparently trying to get on the raft.
"Raise your gun!"
Half of the Dutch soldiers had already boarded the raft, and Dankel ordered the remaining half of the soldiers to aim their guns at their servants.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a burst of gunfire, and more than a dozen indigenous soldiers fell, and the other indigenous soldiers ran in both directions in fright, and then jumped into the river and swam over.
Dankel urged: "Hurry up and paddle!" ”
The number of rafts was not enough, and it was too late to cross the river in two batches.
More and more Datong troops rushed from the woods, and the overwhelming formation scared Dankel's scalp numb.
Standing on the raft, Dankel said, "Don't wait for the raft, jump into the river and swim over!" ”
When Dankel successfully returned to the other side of the river with half of his soldiers, the remaining half of the soldiers were still swimming in the river.
The Datong army had already rushed to the river and immediately raised its guns and fired freely.
Some aimed at the enemy forces on the other side of the river, others at the enemy forces in the river.
The disparity in numbers between the two sides was so great that Denkel did not dare to shoot at all. didn't care about the subordinates in the river, and immediately ran away, and a few unlucky people were shot when they fled.
And the enemy soldiers swimming in the river, whether Dutch soldiers or indigenous servants, were shot and sunk from time to time.
Dankel came out with 120 soldiers, and when he fled back to Chichi, only 71 remained.
In the whole of Taiwan, there are still more than 800 Dutch soldiers, more than 800 Dutch immigrants, and more than 1,000 slaves. In addition, there are hundreds of Dutch wives who resemble slave girls, all of whom were snatched after killing all the indigenous men of Xiaoliuqiu Island.
Denkel sailed to the city of Geranza and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, the squadron is here, at least several thousand men. “
"How many are there?" Felberg panicked.
Denkel said: "Nearly half of my soldiers have been killed, do you want to defend Fort Promincia?" “
Promincia Fort is the castle in the Red Castle.
Felberg said: "Abandon Fort Promincia and withdraw all to Fort Geranza, and concentrate on the defense." I'll send another boat to Batavia for help! “
This trip to Batavia takes more than two months!
When the two of them discussed, more than 2,000 vanguard troops of the Datong Army had already pursued and killed Chichicheng City. The dozens of defenders in the castle were so frightened that they fled immediately, and there was no food in this broken castle, and they starved to death after a month or two.
"Brother Guo! Brother Cai! Brother Liu"
Wu Hualong knelt in front of the castle, looked at the corpse hanging from the wooden pole, and immediately howled and cried.
The landlords who plotted to revolt together, except for Wu Hualong, had two other escapes, and all the rest were hanging there to demonstrate.
Li Dingguo quickly came with the main force and asked, "Apart from this castle, what else is there in the Red Embedded City that is worth occupying?" “
Wu Hualong stood up, thought for a while, and said, "There are two bull heads in the suburbs, and there are many Tianzhu cattle in them!" ”
The cattle head division, that is, the cattle breeding farm, is all imported from India.
In addition, the Dutch also brought peas and cabbage to Taiwan, which are now widely cultivated in Tainan.
Li Dingguo immediately sent troops to occupy two cattle farms, and all the more than 500 Indian cattle in them were confiscated.
As for the city of Geranza, it cannot be surrounded for the time being, and the cooperation of the navy is required.
However, the city of Geranza was on the island, and even if it did not send troops to surround it, it would not be able to obtain sufficient food supplies, so it could only be transported from other places by sea ship.
