Zheng Zhilong turned his head and found that it was an unfamiliar face who spoke.

"Who is this brother?"

Zheng Zhilong asked suspiciously.

"Big brother, this is what I brought, my brother, called Wei Huai. A native of Fuzhou, he can be civil and martial. Zheng Zhihu saw the eldest brother's inquiry and explained with a smile.

"What is Brother Wei's opinion on this matter?" After listening to Zheng Zhihu's introduction, Zheng Zhilong asked Wei Huai with a smile.

Wei Huai hugged his fists when he heard this.

"The tide rises here on the first and sixteenth days of the new year. The sea could rise seven or eight feet, and although it was still shallow, it was enough for our ships to enter. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year today, we only need to wait for another eight days, and then we will cross the Luermen Gate at night and land on the Taijiang River. As long as we go ashore, the red-haired ghost will definitely not be our opponent by virtue of the numerical advantage. ”

"Great idea!" Zheng Zhilong exclaimed after listening.

"Just do what Brother Wei said! Now wait a few days for this and wait for the high tide before entering the deer ear gate! ”

"Yes, big brother!"

Now that they had made up their minds, they all went their separate ways.

Zheng Zhilong stood on the shore and looked in the direction of Orange City. remembered Wu Youke, who was still with the red-haired ghost.

I hope Wu may hold on to it.

Wu Youke really couldn't hold on anymore, he hadn't eaten for five days.

After Luo Sanpao brought him to the city of Pu Minsha, he paid attention to the evil, and did not beat him or scold him, but did not give him food. But the water pipes are full.

You can't starve to death without eating for a few days, but you can't go without water.

But Wu Youke is still indifferent, how do you like it, I just ignore you.

Day 1, Day 2, Day 3.

Luo Sanpao couldn't sit still.

"You really don't want to live anymore?"

"I want to live! But you can't survive! ”

"Why are you so brainless. They are all curing diseases and saving people, who is not saving them? ”

"It's different! You traitor will never understand! Wu Youke shook his head weakly.

Luo Sanpao saw that Wu Youke couldn't find a breakthrough, so he planned to start with his entourage Xu Yanru. This time he was no longer polite, and he was tortured when he came up, but Xu Yanru was also stubborn, let you beat him! It's just one word.

I don't know!

This can make Luo San angry and make people toss Xu Yanru to death!

The master and apprentice are a pair of dead brains.

Wu Youke listened to Xu Yanru's screams outside, and tears flowed unconsciously. He knew that as long as he told the secret, half of his apprentices would not have to suffer such a crime again.

But reason told him no.

Luo Sanpao still didn't dare to kill him, and although Xu Yanru was scarred, it was not fatal.

September 16

Zheng Zhilong stood on the beach in surprise, and sure enough, he found that the tide was rising.

He immediately ordered the entire army to be mobilized.

When night fell, he led an army of 20,000 men out to sea again and headed for Luermen.

But unfortunately, as soon as I set off, I encountered wind and waves, and it became stronger and stronger, and it actually rained heavily.

"Big brother, this can't be done, the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid it's dangerous to keep going! Zheng Zhihu came to the deck and shouted loudly at Zheng Zhilong, who was commanding.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it! We don't have time to wait! We must land on Taijiang tonight! ”

Zheng Zhilong shouted categorically.

He really couldn't wait any longer. Now there are wind and waves, will there be no wind and waves next time the tide rises? If you keep waiting, when will it be? What's more, the supplies they brought with them on this trip were simply not enough to last an army of 20,000 for a month.

He himself stood on the deck, commanding the sailors in the face of the storm.

The huge wind and waves seriously hindered the navigation of the ship, and the voyage, which could have been reached in an hour, was delayed until the second half of the night.

Thinkers

When the ships docked on the Taijiang River one after another, most of the people on board were exhausted.

When the sky was bright, Zheng Zhilong gave the order to attack.

The target, the city of the Promen.

At this time, Putsman was still lying on his soft and comfortable bed, snoring deeply. There is also a red-haired woman with long legs and big breasts next to her.

Last night's torrential rain made him particularly excited, and the lightning and thunder outside the window accompanied by the screams of the woman made him want to stop, and he tossed for half the night.

But his good dreams didn't last.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a violent knock.

"Who!?"

Putsmann was woken up by a knock on the door, sat up irritably, shook his head, and yelled outside.

"Governor! Oh no! The Ming people secretly crossed the Luermen Gate at night and landed on the Taijiang River. Now the army is marching towards the city of Pulominsha! ”

"What!?" Putsman was shocked, pushed away the woman's legs pressed against him, and got dressed in a panic.

After getting dressed, he opened the door and walked out.

"Who are the generals of the Akito? How many centaurs are there? ”

"Zheng Zhilong! Twenty thousand! ”

Putsman knew that the Ming army was serious this time.

At present, there are only more than 2,000 Dutch soldiers in the whole of Taiwan, more than 1,800 in Orange City, and only more than 400 in Prominsha City.

"Hurry up and send someone to Batavia to ask for reinforcements. Another 500 soldiers were sent to the city of Prominsha to support them in defending the city. In addition, the gates of the city are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

"Yes! Governor! ”

Putsmann calmed down after a moment of panic and made the most correct decision.

The 500 soldiers who supported the city set off on four warships, but Zheng Zhilong had expected such an action by Putesman, and directly sent dozens of warships to surround them.

Four battleships were sunk, one was heavily damaged, two were heavily damaged, and one escaped.

Putsmann decided not to support the city of Promin and concentrated his superior forces to defend the city of Orenji.

Zheng Zhilong no longer had any obstacles on his way forward, and directly surrounded the city.

But although the city of Purumsha is not large, there are not many people in it. But there are also a lot of cannons, and Zheng Zhilong is preparing to order someone to attack.

Wei Huai begged to see him, and offered his own plan.

"Commander-in-chief, we don't need to attack. I just inquired with the Han people in the vicinity, and the drinking water in the city is all from the mountains outside the city, and as long as we cut off the spring water, the defenders in the city will have no water available. Within three days, the red-haired ghost would surrender. ”

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard this, how many fewer people had to die.

"Wei Huai, you should be the first to take the lead in defeating the city of the common people this time!"

Then, he ordered people to cut off the water source in the city, and stationed directly outside the city, besieging but not attacking.

And he commanded them to shout to the city:

"Listen, the red-haired devils in the city, you have been surrounded. Now give up the senseless resistance and go out of the city and surrender! Fight for leniency! ”

The guard in the city was called Kangpu, who knew a little Chinese, and when he heard the shouts of the Ming army, he asked Luo Sanpao next to him in confusion.

"Three artillery, how did I hear the Ming army shouting to surrender?"

"No, the Ming army is shouting for us to surrender."

Camp was so angry that he asked me to surrender without firing a single shell, I don't want to lose face?

But what's going on with this Ming army? Have a picnic here? Why is there no intention of besieging the city at all?

"Oh no, the water source in our city was cut off from the outside by the Ming army!"

"What?"

Kemp panicked right now. There is plenty of food in the city, and it's no problem to hold on for a month.

But if you don't have water, it's a big problem, you won't starve to death if you don't eat for a few days, but you won't survive without drinking water for a few days.

What can I do?

Do you really want to surrender?

Camp was entangled, and it was three days at a time.

By the third day, the city was completely devoid of water. Some of the soldiers started drinking urine. But I didn't drink water for two or three days, and I didn't even have enough urine to drink.

"Three guns, let's surrender."

Camp sat weakly in his chair, his lips chapped, and said to Luo Sanpao on the side.

Luo Sanpao's form is worse than Kemp.

He opened his chapped lips and replied hoarsely.

A moment later, a white flag slowly raised over the city of Prominsha.

Zheng Zhilong, who was outside the city, looked at it and was happy.

Isn't it not a non-surrender?

And then resist?

After a few more moments, the soldiers of the city came out with white flags.

Zheng Zhilong immediately sent people to tie up all the more than 400 soldiers, and then ordered his subordinates to enter the city and take over the city defense. When everything was ready, Zheng Zhilong entered the city.

Although he has been on the coast for the past few years, he has never been to this city. He took people around and looked, and unconsciously came to the place where Wu Youke was being held.

"This is the prison of the red-haired devil?" Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Zhihu beside him.

"I guess so."

"Let's go, go in and see who is in the prison of the red-haired devil~"

As he spoke, he walked inside first.

Zheng Zhilong looked over one by one and found that they were basically Han people, and there were some people on the island.

Zheng Zhilong who watched it was angry for a while!

Just as he was about to turn around and go out to find the key, a man huddled in a corner caught his attention.

This person is dressed in a straight jacket, wearing a scarf on his head, and he is dressed as a literati.

And what attracted Zheng Zhilong's attention was the net towel on this person's head.

"Ambassador Wu?"

The man in the corner slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face.

It's not Wu Youke, who is it.
