375, The Last Magong Fort [1/2]
Of the eight Dutch galleons, two were sunk, two were destroyed by Fan, and one was captured by Zheng Zhi's Tiger Jumping Gang, and the remaining three broke through frantically under the leadership of Putmans. The Dutch were terrified, and at this time they had no choice but to get out of this terrible sea as quickly as possible.
I have to say that Putmans was very lucky, although there were many small boats on the sea, but the real fireships were only one-tenth of the ratio, and the fireships that stopped in front of the Dutch fleet had been consumed by the two burned fireships.
The main fleet led by Yi Yun and Zheng Zhilong pursued him from behind, but they couldn't catch up with him! They had to watch as the three Dutch galleons fled in the direction of Ryukyu Island in the east.
But if you think about it in another direction, although three enemy ships escaped, five were killed, and the side of the Great Meng Kingdom can be regarded as a great victory.
"Win! We win!" Zhu Qingqing jumped out of the cabin again, and said with a smug smile: "I am in the heavens, and it is really ......."
"You're big!" Yi Yun grabbed her by the neck again and threw her back.
The thirty-two father-in-law next to him sweated and said in a low voice: "Lord, although the emperor listens to your words, but in front of many others, he still has to give the emperor a son, and it is not good to be seen by others when he picks it up and throws it around like this." ”
"Don't I know?" Yi Yun snorted, "Of course I'll give her face where there are a lot of people." This little thing needs to be reminded of by you?"
"Slave...... Minions don't dare!"
At this time, there was a sound of jubilation on the sea, and the pirates were defeated against the three Dutch ships that were slowly moving away. Whistles and arms are constantly being blown and everyone is in high spirits. The pirates knew very well how much military strength the Dutch had in the Far East, and this magnificent victory meant that the Dutch were beaten to the ground, and for a long time there would be no more decent fleets to pull out a show. Next. It's the time for the pirates to perform, and the southeast coast of the Great Meng Country will become the pirates' back garden.
Zheng Zhilong's flagship leaned next to Yiyun's flagship, and a plank was erected between the two ships. The injured Zheng Zhihu was helped by Zheng Zhilong, surrounded by Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhifeng and others.
"Lord Wang, please take a step forward and treat my younger brother. Zheng Zhilong wiped his sweat and said, "This guy ...... Every time I fight, I get seriously wounded, oops...... This time it was particularly badly injured. ”
"It's a trivial matter!" Yi Yun turned into a "famous doctor" and casually used a healing technique. He easily healed the wound on Zheng Zhihu's chest.
This Donkey Kong-like reckless man just grunted in pain. Now that it's okay, he immediately became fierce again and straightened up. smiled honestly: "The famous doctor is really easy to use, big brother, you should assign me a famous doctor." Every time I come back from a fight, I can get a cure. ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zheng Zhilong said unhappily: "Famous doctors are a rare profession among the rare, are people willing to come and mix with us who are pirates? Don't even think about it! Let's meet the prince here, otherwise this injury will already let you play over." In the future, when I go to war, give me some precautions to protect myself. ”
Yi Yun coughed dryly and said, "General Zheng, you are already a Five Tiger guerrilla general." In the future, the new territory will be taken by the local governor. It's no longer a pirate, it's not too difficult to find a famous doctor, a physician or something to follow in your army. ”
"Huh, yes!" Zheng Zhilong was shocked to realize that he had lost his words just now, and Zheng Zhihu also grinned: "Yes, we are not pirates anymore, we are serious officials, hahaha, I want to find a ship doctor to follow me on my ship, and even give him a nickname, just call him Chopper." ”...,
Yiyun Khan took a moment and decided to change the subject: "Okay, it's time to land on the island!" If you can walk, the monk can't walk the temple, Putmans can't run, Magongbao can't run, General Zheng, please send the army, take Magongbao back, our battle can be regarded as a complete success." ”
At this time, the Dutch fleet has been killed, and everyone looked at Magong Fort on the land in the distance, this is an orange-red Western-style fortress, the Western-style fortress is still very different from the fortress of the Dameng country, the fortress of the Dameng country is square, and there is a female wall battle grid on it, but the Western-style fortress is completely different, it is not a square type, but a strange diamond shape.
Not only are cannons erected on it, but at the four corners of the fortress, an additional platform is raised, and the fort wall is very long, this strange shape, everyone is a little puzzled.
Zheng Zhihu patted his chest and laughed: "Don't worry, just a broken castle, give me 3,000 warriors, and I will level the eldest brother for Ma Gong." ”
Zheng Zhibao also said: "There should be about five hundred Dutch soldiers in the city, there are not many of them, there is really nothing to worry about, the second brother can take it with some people and rush casually." ”
"Hmm...... Then I'll give you 3,000 people......" Zheng Zhilong still trusted his second brother and was about to order the army.
At this time, Yi Yun suddenly stood up and said, "Wait! I have a question for everyone!"
Everyone was surprised, this prince was in the naval battle just now, and he didn't have the command of Zheng Zhilong at all, why did he attack the island now and suddenly come out to talk nonsense?
"General Zheng, you have dealt with the Dutch a lot, do you know why they built the fort like this?
"This ...... I don't know!" Zheng Zhilong said a little embarrassed: "I am more familiar with their navy, but I don't know much about the army. ”
Yi Yun smiled and said, "It's just right, I'm the opposite of you, I don't know much about the Western Navy, but I know a little about the Army." "It's not uncommon to catch a young man on the street in the future, but the army in the era of hot weapons knows a little bit about it.
"What? The prince actually knows something about the Western Army? This is really strange!" Zheng Zhilong was taken aback, not only Zheng Zhilong, but also Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhifeng, Fengyun Shibazhi, Li Huamei and others next to him were all taken aback. The Western Army is thousands of miles away, and the people of the Great Meng Kingdom are completely blind to them, how does this King Jiashan understand?
Yi Yun pointed to the raised platforms and said, "This thing is specially designed for the Fire Gun Soldiers to defend the city...... Think about it, if it's a traditional square castle in our Da Meng country, and there is no bulge in the corner, then ...... When the enemy is attacking the castle and climbing the city walls, you only need to face the enemy directly above, and you don't need to defend the flanks. ”
"Hmm!" The pirates nodded: "There is no need for defense on the side, the battle of our Dameng country is mainly to use spears and broadswords to dialogue, when attacking the city, there will be no enemies on the side at all, and the enemies are all in the city." ”
"But the Westerners are different, their main army is composed of all guncorps...... Yi Yun smiled and pointed to Magong Fort and said: "When you attack the wall of Magong Fort, the enemy's guncorps can occupy the raised platform at the corner of the city wall, and if you fire from that position, you can hit the soldiers who climb the city wall from the side." ”
"Scared?" the pirates were shocked: "This ...... Yes, when climbing the city wall, the soldiers are very fragile on the ladder, and it is impossible to climb up if they are subjected to crossfire directly above and from both sides. ”
"Well, it's good that you understand!" Yi Yun spread his hands and said: "What I mean by saying this is that I hope General Zheng Zhihu will not bully people with small families, so he will lead a group of people to climb the city wall, which will cause unnecessary casualties." ”...,
After Yi Yun said this, the pirates sweated profusely, just now they were really thinking, the small city guarded by only five hundred Dutch soldiers was taken without much effort, at this time, combined with the knowledge that Yi Yun said, after a closer look, they found that Magong Fort was a difficult thing to attack.
"If 3,000 people can't do it, it's just 10,000 people!" Zheng Zhihu was the simplest-minded, and hummed: "Give me 10,000 people, and I will level this castle for you to see." ”
Sweat profusely!
Zheng Zhihu taught a lesson: "Fool, even if you really use the tactics of the sea of people to level this fortress, but kill 500 enemies and lose 1,000 yourself, how can you do this deal? ”
Zheng Zhihu stopped shouting when he taught him such a lesson, but Zhu Qingqing, who came out of the cabin, began to shout again: "Our Heavenly Empire is a vast country with a large population and a large population, even if we exchange one thousand for five hundred......, what will it do?"
Yi Yun sighed, turned to the thirty-two princesses, and said, "Look, you told me not to pick her up and throw her around, but this broken woman is underwhelming when she speaks." ”
Thirty-two fathers-in-law: "......"
Yi Yun picked up Zhu Qingqing again, threw her into the cabin, and then said to Zheng Zhilong and the others: "I think that there is no need to think about how to capture Magong Fort, from the perspective of reducing casualties, we don't have to take any offensive posture now, we just need to fence this small castle, and then we can negotiate with the Dutch." ”
"Negotiation?" Zheng Zhilong Khan said, "Dutch...... It's arrogant, it's hard to talk about. ”
"Ha!" Yi Yun laughed and said: "Arrogant, it's because they think they're strong, and now that they've been defeated by us, they can't be arrogant, and they can't negotiate at this time." Only we take advantage, there is no reason for us to suffer......"
"Then what is the prince going to talk about?" Zheng Zhilong said curiously.
"It's very simple, shoot a letter into the city and put a clause on it. 1. The Dutch unconditionally released all the people in the city and the prisoners of the Beiyang Naval Division, and returned our captured giant dragon boat and the lucky ship of the Beiyang Naval Division. 2. The Dutch surrendered their weapons, walked out of Magong Fort, and gave us the armaments and supplies contained in Magong Fort. Third, on the premise of doing the first two items, we can not kill them, but only arrest them to be coolies, so that they have their lives to wait for the national negotiations between the Netherlands and the big Meng country. ”
