The sun shines on the sea surface of Xiamen Port as usual, and the sea water is still sparkling, but at this time, there are no fishing boats docked on the sea in front of Xiamen Port as usual, instead of the wreckage of warships all over the sea, and the flag floating on the water can faintly see the words of the Ming Fujian Sailor.

Four Dutch warships, completely different in shape from the Ming ship, were floating proudly in the sea not far from the wreckage of the battleship, and rows of black holes on one side of the battleship were facing the shore.

Two men dressed in Dutch naval officer uniforms were standing on the deck looking out over the shore with binoculars in their hands, and groups of soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield on the shore.

"Your Excellency, I heard from the Portuguese a few years ago that the fighting power of our army was very strong, but last night they behaved so badly that they looked like a group of peasants, and our soldiers took the city without any decent resistance."

The man known as the commander lowered his binoculars and looked at the officer who was talking beside him, and pouted noncommittally.

"Shervor, always respect your opponent, the Ming Kingdom is like a giant beast, even if it is hundreds of thousands of peasants, it is not something that we can conquer by defeating the soldiers, the purpose of our visit this time is to let the Ming Kingdom see our strength, and we can open the port so that our merchant ships can sail freely in the Ming Kingdom."

Hearing the commander's words, Sharfrey couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "I believe that this time they will definitely agree to our suggestion, otherwise we will use naval guns to smash their castles like they smashed these broken ships!" ”

The commander ignored his conceited subordinate, and simply picked up his binoculars again to observe the situation on the shore.

Suddenly, he found that some shadowy small black dots appeared not far from the shore, as if they were an army of the Ming Kingdom, because the distance was relatively far, he could only vaguely see the sunlight reflected by the armor on the armor of this army.

Looking at the strict queue and distinctive armor of this army, Filberg, as the commander, suddenly felt the difference between this Ming army and the peasant army last night.

As soon as Yang Yingqian returned to Yongningwei yesterday, he heard the faint sound of artillery coming from the direction of Zhenhaiwei, which is adjacent to Yongningwei, and the distance from the Yongning Acropolis to the Zhongzuo Station of Xiamen Port is more than 50 miles.

The coastal areas of Fujian have been peaceful for many years, and the dense artillery sound made Yang Yingqian realize that it must be the Dutch who have already taken action against Xiamen Port.

Yang Yingqian immediately ordered the Acropolis and several thousand households under its jurisdiction to be on guard, and dispatched 2,000 troops from each thousand households to assemble at the Acropolis and prepare to go to Zhenhaiwei.

At this time, it was too late to report to Zhu Yifeng, although I don't know how many enemies came, but according to Yang Yingqian's understanding of the scale of the colonists at this time, this group of Dutch should not exceed 500 people, at this time he was the closest to Xiamen Port, and although he could not necessarily defeat the Dutch army by rushing over quickly, he could at least temporarily control the situation and prevent it from deteriorating.

"Big brother, my firearms battalion will also be drawn with the army this time!" Zhan Haozhi saw the movement of soldiers and horses in the acropolis, and heard the constant sound of artillery in his ears, so he thought that something must be wrong, so he hurriedly ran to find Yang Yingqian.

It has been less than a month since the formation of the firearms battalion, and the coordination of various tactics between officers and men is still a little rusty.

"Fifth brother, your firearms battalion has only been formed for more than 20 days, and you have forcibly ...... battle"

"Big brother!" Zhan Haozhi interrupted Yang Yingqian's words.

"Although our soldiers of Yongning Wei have been very brave after several months of training, but with their flesh and blood to resist the musket of the red-haired ghost, my Yongning Wei soldiers will suffer heavy casualties, although the firearms battalion has been formed for a short time, but under the training of Father Tang and Luo Li, they are already very proficient in the use of firearms, and they will definitely come in handy."

Seeing Zhan Haozhi's nervous excitement, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but be moved, and immediately agreed that Zhan Haozhi's firearms battalion would go to Zhenhaiwei with the brigade.

In less than half an hour, the 2,000 officers and men of Yongningwei plus 400 musketeers of the firearms battalion were assembled, and as Yang Yingqian issued the military order to set off, the various units of Yongningwei marched out of the city in an orderly manner, and before departure, Yang Yingqian sent Hong Anlan to Fuzhou to warn Zhu Yifeng.

After leaving the Acropolis, Yongning Wei carried out a rapid march, at this time the benefits of strict training were reflected, the training of Yongning Army in peacetime would organize soldiers to carry out a ten-mile road load cross-country every day, at the beginning the officers and soldiers did not understand, but now they realized Yang Yingqian's good intentions.

The contingent of more than 2,000 people ran on the official road with torches held high, and no sound of people could be heard, only the neat rustle of the officers and men's feet on the official road.

When the sky was just white, Yang Yingqian had already rushed to the periphery of Xiamen Port with the Yongning Army.

Although there is still some distance from Xiamen Port, you can already see the Xiamen Port Zhongzuo Institute from afar.

The defensive power of the city wall is much worse than that of the acropolis wall, except for a layer of blue bricks wrapped in rammed earth. The city wall facing the port has been bombed, and the city is also full of smoke, and most of the houses have been destroyed.

Seeing the situation in front of him, the center left office has already fallen, and Yang Yingqian is now in a high position, just overlooking the situation in the port, at this time, groups of Dutch soldiers are moving things from the ship to the shore, as if they want to establish a stronghold in the port.

Xie Shangzheng, who was on the side, looked at the Dutch soldiers who were moving near the port, as if they were cleaning the battlefield, and the formation was very scattered, as if they had not yet discovered their arrival.

"My lord, at this time, there are no more than 100 red-haired ghosts in the port, and our army is condescending, if we take advantage of their unpreparedness to touch it, we will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage!" Xie Shangzheng proposed.

"No!" Yang Yingqian interrupted Xie Shangzheng's words.

"Although there are only more than 100 people on the shore of the red-haired ghosts, there are still four of their warships on the sea, I estimate that their total number will not be less than four hundred, although the number of our army is numerous, but last night's rapid march of the fifth brother's firearms battalion was left behind, the terrain near the port is open, although it is conducive to the charge of our army, but it is also convenient for the red-haired ghosts' artillery to aim, so if it continues, our brothers will become a live target!"

When Xie Shangzheng heard this, he also looked at those warships, the firepower of these warships was obviously stronger than the warships of the Daming Naval Division, and there were no less than twenty cannons on the side facing the port alone.

At this time, Zhan Haozhi rushed over from behind panting, and his firearms battalion finally caught up with the brigade, not that the officers and soldiers of the firearms battalion were slow, but that they also carried fifteen newly made Hongyi cannons this time, each weighing more than a thousand catties, and they all relied on oxen to pull the artillery carts, so the speed of the march was much slower.

Seeing Zhan Haozhi coming, Yang Yingqian's waist pole also felt a little stiffer, and he couldn't help but be glad that he brought the firearms battalion, otherwise this battle would really be difficult to fight.

There are more than 2,000 people on his side, and they must not be able to hide, and sooner or later they will be discovered by the red-haired ghost on the opposite side, so they must occupy the favorable terrain as soon as possible and wait for the opportunity to attack.

At that moment, Yang Yingqian ordered Zhan Haozhi to divide the fifteen Hongyi cannons into three groups to arrange positions from three directions, and surround the Dutch warships and the troops on the shore in a large arc.

The 2,000 soldiers and the musketeers of the firearms battalion were also divided into three routes, relying on the artillery position to establish a position, suppressing these Dutch red-haired ghosts in the port, Xie Shangzheng and Zhan Haozhi guarded the left and right, and Yang Yingqian sat in the middle of the road.

Military orders were issued one after another, and the various departments of Yongningwei were deploying in an orderly manner, and Yang Yingqian was also nervously looking at the situation in the port, and at this moment, a chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded not far behind Yang Yingqian........
