The real showdown is about to begin in Malacca.

The cunning Cohen is the best at leveraging his strength, he has been operating in the South Seas for 10 years, and he knows the island countries of the South Seas very well.

Portugal wrested control of the Strait of Malacca from Johor 100 years ago and took control of the economic lifeline of the South Seas, and later the Netherlands defeated Portugal more than 10 years ago and seized Portugal's colony in the South Seas.

The Dutch people claimed to be the saviors of the South Seas, co-opted and divided many island countries in the South Seas, and adopted a policy of genocide when they encountered the rebel Cohen, who ordered the extermination of the inhabitants of Banda Island, and the indigenous population of Banda Island was almost completely wiped out.

This incident served as an example, and Cohen always wanted to transfer the hatred of the local island land to Portugal, which was the first to be the initiator from history.

However, the people of Nanyang did not have any antipathy to Portugal, Portugal mainly did business, and many people were touched by the light of the Maritime Silk Road, but it was the dehumanizing plundering and massacre of the Netherlands that caused panic among the people of Nanyang.

The people of Nanyang regard the Netherlands as a tiger.

They would rather suffer poverty than work for the Dutch, and some of those who worked with the Dutch would wreak havoc at the first opportunity, never forgetting the suffering of second-class citizens and the hatred of losing their country.

The Netherlands were separated from Germany in the South Seas, and no people from that island country really supported them, and they did not believe in the people of the South Seas, and they were always worried that the people would rebel and suppress the next batch and another group.

In order to consolidate their rule, they recruited a large number of Chinese into Nanyang to reduce the proportion of locals, and when they found that the Chinese people were intelligent and capable, hard-working and hard-working, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to travel to the southeast coast of China to recruit workers.

Now the Netherlands angered the Ming, who joined forces with Portugal to seize the Malliu Gorge, and in order to defeat the Ming and Portugal, Cohen found Johor as an ally.

Taking advantage of the historical events of the Portuguese occupation of Johor's territory, the Dutch pie brought Johor into their camp, and the strong desire to restore the country made Johor take the bait without the slightest hesitation, and the Netherlands promised to let Johor monopolize the Straits of Malacca.

The situation of the Netherlands, Johor, and the Ming Dynasty and Portugal quickly formed.

Each side has its own needs, and they are all willing to participate in this transnational war, and whichever side wins will control the Strait of Malacca and dominate the sea lanes between the east and the west.

If the Netherlands loses, it will have to withdraw from the Asian maritime trade stage, and Wang Hongyu will take a crucial step in allowing China to seize the world's leading position.

A month later, tens of thousands of Malay soldiers marched south, mobilizing the entire country's forces to restore Johor.

The Dutch fleet is back, and Cohen is running back and forth with Batavia on the treasure island, like a wild bull being led by Wang Hongyu.

The Wakoku shogunate also sent 30,000 Japanese from Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the Shimazu family to the South Seas on an Ataka ship to participate in the war.

However, the speed of the Ataka ships in the Wa Kingdom was far inferior to that of the soft sailing fleet in the Netherlands, and they were left far behind.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the Shimazu family had to speed up their pursuit.

Cohen's Dutch navy has returned to Batavia, but the hundreds of Japanese ships have only arrived in the Liangguang area, and it is estimated that it will be good to arrive in 10 days.

At this time, the wind direction is not downwind, the Otaku ship of the Wa Kingdom and the fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty are hard sailing ships, although the speed is not slower than the fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty, but the structural performance of the Zhai ship is far less than the fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty.

If they were intercepted by the Ming navy, they would have no choice but to run away. The more Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the Shimazu family chased after them, the farther away they were from the Dutch Navy, and they were terrified along the way, for fear of being discovered by the Ming Navy.

At this time, Liu Xiang's Ming army and the Portuguese navy and army were being attacked from both sides of Johor and the Netherlands, and could only occupy favorable terrain to divide their troops to resist, and the infantry of Johor began to attack fiercely as soon as the battle began.

The Ming army and Portugal held on to Singapore and Malacca, and killed and wounded a large number of Forem Malay infantry with fortresses and fortresses. Fight against the Dutch fleet with batteries and fleets.

This time, Singapore's seemingly landscape-like octagonal fortress exerted its power, killing and injuring the enemy from all seven sides except the back, and whether it was to attack the enemy attacking the other fortress or shoot the enemy from behind.

The soldiers of Johor were inexplicably shot in the back, and they couldn't prevent it, these Johor soldiers had almost no armor on them, at most they wore a piece of bamboo armor, and there was a bit of a possibility to block the arrows.

Johor organized several attacks, but they couldn't get under the city walls at all, and they would be killed and wounded.

The wails of Johor soldiers were everywhere outside the city, and the Johor soldiers who followed the siege were shocked, and no one dared to charge forward anymore.

The next day of the truce, the Johor generals began to organize personnel to build siege equipment, the South Seas belong to the tropical climate, there are trees everywhere, cut down trees to make siege chariots, wooden shields, ladders.

Nanyang is a place where people from all over Asia meet, and the war stories of China are widely circulated, especially the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is known to all ages, and almost everyone can understand Cantonese and Hokkien languages, and storytelling and listening to opera are very popular in Nanyang.

There is almost no difference between the siege and defense equipment and Huaxia, they know everything, they are lazy and stupid, these soldiers can't do anything before they join the army to eat, where will they make chariots and ladders?

In a few days, not many chariots or ladders were made, but the shield was the simplest, and there was a wooden plank that was easy to lift. However, the Nanyang people are short, and it is definitely not possible to hold a large wooden board with one hand, so they should simply make it smaller.

A few days later, the Johor soldiers, forced by the warlords, began to siege the city with their shield carts and planks.

Dozens of shield carts marched side by side, and the Johor soldiers followed behind the shield carts to protect against shells and bullets in front of the shield carts, because the front of the shield carts was made of astringent wooden planks, which were very thick, and the furlong cannons could not penetrate at all, and the abusion wood could not be messed up.

Only the Hongyi cannon can break the shield cart, and only one or two planks can be broken. The city is octagonal, and there is only one Hongyi cannon on each side, so it can't be beaten at all, how can it be good?

At this time, several gunners from the Zhejiang Hun River Army sent by Wang Hongyu suggested that the enemy should be brought closer, and the scattered bullets should be shot with tiger squatting cannons, and the curved shots would burst above the enemy's heads, and the scattered bullets would kill the Johor soldiers behind the shield cart.

In addition, when the enemy approached, other bastions could be hit from the side with Furlong cannons.

The generals of the Ming army who were in charge of defending the city on this side fought according to his method, and it worked.

Liu Xiang's Ming army's most cannons were the Franco's machine cannon and the tiger squat cannon.

These two kinds of light artillery are very suitable for pirates, and they are very effective against merchant ships with limited armament, so the most important thing in her army here is the gunners who operate these light guns, almost everyone is a master, even mobile boats can fight, and it is even easier to fight infantry.

However, the light artillery was weak and could not damage the Dutch giant ship at all.

Just as the enemy's fleet was approaching, it was ready to bombard the siege of Johor.
