Vanderburg has been watching the battle since Vander led his troops out of the castle.
For this reason, he specially moved a chair to the top of the castle.
He sat on the chair and watched all the time, simply looking forward to it.
At first, Mingren bombarded frequently, and Vandel was forced to lead his troops to speed up the formation.
The continuous artillery bombardment reversed the situation of the battle.
Vanderburg couldn't see the secret behind this.
He just saw the two sides starting to engage in formation.
It was extremely fierce.
The fight begins.
This already made him nervous, and then the sailor phalanx on the right collapsed, but he could see it clearly.
At this time, Vanderburg's heart was cold, and he knew that the battle was lost.
It didn't take a very clever mind to figure out that Fandel's main formation was about to suffer.
Sure enough, the main formation, which was besieged from both sides, was instantly defeated, and all the soldiers who were still alive were fleeing.
Seeing the Ming people's cavalry wreaking havoc and the Dutch being massacred, Vanderburg already knew that the city of Geranje could not be defended, and he, the governor of Formosa, had done his job.
He calculated the power in his hands.
Since Fandel took away all the soldiers, the only people left in the castle were tax collectors, attendants, priests and other personnel, some of whom had never used weapons in their lives.
These people add up to about a hundred people, and they can't even stand on the city wall, so how can they defend it.
He watched as only a few dozen defeated soldiers fled into the castle, while the other soldiers were buried on the ground a few miles to the west.
Vanderbilt was no longer nervous at this time.
He arranged his clothes and walked down from the top floor of the castle.
In the field below, Li Lu issued orders one after another, ordering the soldiers to collect the wounded, guard the prisoners, and collect the enemy's armor and artillery.
The soldiers of the Polu Army and the Korean soldiers began to get busy under Li Lu's order.
After a while, there was a little trouble.
Several Korean soldiers had just died in a fierce fight because they had good brothers.
In order to vent their anger, they assassinated several captured Dutchmen, causing a commotion among the Dutch prisoners of war.
Li Lu ordered on the spot that several North Korean soldiers were sent to Bingjia to be taken into custody and dealt with after the war.
Of course, Li Lu was quite sympathetic to them, but he had to deal with them at this moment, otherwise the military order would lose its effect and the soldiers would have May become a rabble.
After more than half an hour, everything was basically gathered together, and the Polu army formation began to move eastward in order.
At this time, the castle's artillery was not a problem.
Li Lu doubted whether the Dutch had gunners to fire.
It was a problem, let alone him.
He had more than 400 Dutch prisoners of war in his hands.
If the castle dared to fire cannons, he would order them to be killed.
Under the orders of drums and trumpets, the troops of the Polu Army formed a neat square formation and roared towards the castle.
Their sound was heard throughout the wilderness.
When the army of Poru took advantage of the victory to arrive in front of the castle half a mile majestic and murderous, the west gate of the castle opened wide, and Vanderbilt and dozens of Dutchmen stepped out.
He chose to surrender.
In Europe, it is not a shame to be defeated and surrender despite fighting hard and being weak.
This is completely different from the culture and traditions of the East.
Li Lu entered the empty city of Relanja as a victor and defeated his opponent.
Of course, Li Lu was very proud, but what he didn't know was that the Polu army had completed the attack on this treasure island many years in advance. unified.
The Polu army rested for five days in Relanje City and Chikan City, and then reorganized the army.
Except for a thousand soldiers who stayed behind, the other soldiers took sea ships and sailed north under the escort of warships.
They arrived at Jilong three days later.
This is the Spanish stronghold.

Compared with the solid castle of Relanjia City, the so-called castle of the Spanish in Chicken Coop is equivalent to the large fortress of the Ming Dynasty.
Faced with the large number of Ming Dynasty warships and cannons that swarmed in, as well as the Ming Dynasty's persuasion to surrender, the Spanish After a day of hesitation, the people finally surrendered after seeing thousands of Ming soldiers landing.
At this point, all the European forces in Xiaoliuqiu were swept away.
The so-called achievements of more than ten years of development by the Dutch and Spanish, several castles and some dilapidated ships fell into the hands of the Polu army, as well as more than a thousand people.
The prisoners of war lived in a hurry in the prison camp.
The change of ownership of Relanja City and Chikan City alarmed all the surrounding Han forces and indigenous tribes.
In their view, Hong Mao, who had strong cities, armored soldiers, and fleets, was defeated in the hands of these Ming people.
The strength of these Mingren can be imagined to be strong, and they are definitely not something they can afford to offend.
Therefore, some Ming leaders from the Anping area first arrived at Relanzhe City to pay homage to Li Lu, and expressed their sincerity to the Polu Army, saying that they would obey the orders of the Polu Army and continue to pay taxes to the Polu Army in the future.
Of course, Li Lu accepted them one by one, and said that the original tax would be reduced by 30%.
This surprised and delighted the leader of the Ming people.
He did not expect that this Ming people were so easy to talk to.
You must know that Ming people can come to Xiaoliuqiu to colonize.
They were all refugees or pirates who could not survive in the Ming Dynasty.
They deeply hated the inaction of the Ming Dynasty officials and the greed and cruelty of the Ming Dynasty officials.
Of course, Li Lu did this in accordance with Zhao Lie's request.
Of course, it would be best to release more benefits to the newly captured place and make the local people grateful.
Of course, the composition of Ming people here is also extremely complicated.
Most Ming people have settled down to farm.
Of course, they welcome the benefits of Ming people being released.
However, some people still yearn for a career at sea.
Some people are simply spies of pirates.
They are tyrannical against this force.
The arrival of Akito was deeply suspicious, and they sent news to their master as soon as possible.
In Anping Town, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, Ming Dynasty, Zheng Mansion, a mansion covering an area of more than 100 acres, was built on the north side of the harbor of this ancient town that has flourished for hundreds of years due to maritime trade.
Its owner is Zheng Zhilong, the current garrison general of Fujian Province, Ming Dynasty.
Now Zheng Zhilong has unified the coast of Fujian after six or seven years of hard work.
The so-called Shibazhi pirates either surrendered or were wiped out by them.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong also paid a heavy price.
Last year when Liu Xiang, the last big pirate force, was wiped out off the coast of Guangdong, Zheng Zhilong's most capable brother and assistant Zheng Zhihu was killed.
Although Liu Xiang did not escape this time and ended up jumping into the sea to commit suicide, Zheng Zhilong was still heartbroken.
But it's all worth it.
Now there is no force on the coast of Fujian that can stop him from dominating the sea.
Although he is only a general in name, in fact the military strength of the Fujian General Army is far behind him.
Zheng Zhilong now owns more than a thousand ships, large and small.
Although most of them are Chinese warships such as Fuhai Sandbird, they are still powerful.
All merchant ships traveling in Fujian waters must pay tribute to him, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.
This also allowed Zheng Zhilong to quickly accumulate a lot of money and food, otherwise he would not be able to build this mansion that covers an area of more than 100 acres and built a large number of pavilions and pavilions.
This morning, Zheng Zhilong had just finished the examination of his eldest son Zheng Sen's homework and returned to Sixiaotang.
Zheng Hongkui, his current right-hand man, hurriedly asked for an audience.
"What did you say?
Say it again."
Zheng Zhilong said in shock.
"Sir Byeong, Jeju Mingren warships, hundreds of ships and thousands of soldiers captured the Anping Fort and Chikan City where the Dutch were stationed half a month ago.
Then they captured the Chicken Coop in the north.

Now Xiaoliuqiu has been conquered by Jeju Ming people have it in their pockets.”
Zheng Hongkui said in a calm tone this time.
What he said before in his eagerness to report was somewhat confusing.
"Is this true?
The Dutch Anping Fort is extremely strong and is not easy to capture."
Zheng Zhilong was extremely confused.
He knew that the city of Relandja was strong.
He had been working with the Dutch on and off.
It was not that he had not considered the city of Relandja, but he estimated that it would not be possible to capture it without thousands of lives.
Zheng Zhilong's estimation was correct.
Later, his son Zheng Sen led an army of more than 20,000 people to attack the city of Relanze.
Indeed, 5,000 people were killed and injured.
In the end, the Dutch surrendered through siege.
It can be seen that Relanze The strength of the city.
"Sir, in fact, my subordinates have received the news from Anping people there three days ago, but they did not dare to believe it until several ships that went to Relanjia to trade sea goods returned yesterday, saying that they were captured by Jeju Akito.
The warship blocked the return, which proves that this statement is true. " Zheng Hongkui said firmly.
Zheng Zhilong twisted his beard and thought in silence.
This news had a huge impact on him and he had to think about it carefully.
Nowadays, there are more and more ships trading from the coast of Fujian to Anpingbao, Xiaoliuqiu.
There are hundreds of ships a year.
This alone can bring him more than 100,000 yuan in income.
Who dares to live on his sea now?
No tax.
Therefore, after the Jeju Ming people occupied Xiaoliuqiu, this trade route was of course cut off.
The Dutch traded maritime goods to Manila, Jakarta and Japan.
Now that the Ming people were in control, of course this trade route was cut off.
Of course, this cannot destroy the foundation of the Zheng family.
After all, Fujian's special location determines that ships traveling from the north to the south of the Ming Dynasty must pass through here.
It is not a big deal for the Zheng family to cut off these silver coins.
But what was the intention of this Jeju Mingren who came here from the north?
Zheng Zhilong has been well-known for this Ming Dynasty force for a long time.
He has also seen the battleships they passed by.
In his opinion, the power is powerful.
The same color of Xiyi battleships.
Ming people can understand how to build Xiyi battleships.
This is a powerful existence.
He felt the same way.
This group of Jeju Mingren defeated the Japanese navy one after another.
Last year, they landed in Japan and defeated tens of thousands of the Japanese shogunate's standing troops, forcing the Japanese shogunate Iemitsu to reopen sea trade.
This proves that this Ming army has unparalleled combat power.
Zheng Zhilong has experienced many years in Japan and even has the strength of the shogunate.
To put it bluntly, except for the Ming border troops, the other Ming armies are unmatched.
Even so, the tens of thousands of shogunate troops are also unrivaled.
Being defeated had to make Zheng Zhilong deeply fearful.
Fortunately, the Ming people of Jeju concentrated on competing with the Japanese in the north, and Zheng Jiaqiu had no offense with him.

This time when Jeju Mingren suddenly attacked Xiaoliuqiu, was he trying to point out his failure to pacify the Zheng family?
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong really couldn't sit still.
He immediately ordered Zheng Hongkui to step up his efforts to find out whether the Ming people were here and what their purpose was.
At the same time, he sent his men to warn Zheng Cai and other generals under his command, the Zheng Family Navy, to be on full alert to prevent any unexpected events
