At night, the sky was overcast, the stars and the moon were dim, and the north gate of Changhua Fort suddenly creaked and quietly opened.Sun Sijiang took the lead, and hundreds of remnants of soldiers behind him immediately rushed out and fled to the north, and the soldiers who opened the city gate also hurriedly followed behind the brigade and rushed north.The Dutch had sharp firearms, and Sun Sijiang only lasted less than ten days in Changhua before the city walls were blown down and the moats were filled in by the big-bellied natives.This time, the Dutch dispatched 600 soldiers and tempted to help the Big-bellied natives restore the country, instigated more than 30,000 people, and provided a lot of sophisticated equipment to attack the Ming army in Taiwan.Earlier, the Dutch colluded with the Manchus to cast ordnance and sell it to the Manchus for the arms trade.Zhao Ming led the fleet to the north, defeated the Manchu Qing Division, and blocked the Bohai Sea, the trade between the Dutch and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was greatly affected, and the original large-scale arms trade could only be carried out in small-scale smuggling, which made the Dutch pile up a large number of raw materials such as refined iron.This time, in order to deal with the Ming army, the East India Company turned this batch of fine iron into various weapons and gave them to the Shengfan and Shu clan tribes under their rule, and used them to attack Donghai Town.The Potbelly Kingdom, which originally occupied a vast area in central Taiwan, was destroyed by Donghai Town and the Netherlands in the process of colonization to the south, and carved up the territory of the Potbelly Kingdom.Now, in order to use the Potbelly natives, the East India Company returned their territory and promised the Potbelly natives to help them recover the lost territory and establish a new Potbelly Kingdom in central and northern Taiwan.Under the attack of more than 30,000 coalition troops, Changhua Fort soon fell, and then 30,000 coalition troops quickly advanced northward, destroying the fortress of Donghai Town, as well as Tunzhuang.In order to take revenge on Donghai Town, the indigenous tribes burned all the way, and from time to time on both sides of the road, you can see the smoke billowing from the tunzhuang, as well as the carts, burdens, and baskets discarded by the tunhu.In less than half a month, the coalition forces captured the tunbao in Changhua, Nantou, and Taizhong Donghai Town, destroyed hundreds of tunhu houses, and all the south of Da'an River fell, causing more than 100,000 tun households to flee north.The rapid advance of the coalition army greatly increased the morale of the Dutch, and the army marched all the way north to the Acropolis of Miaosu before being re-blocked.Miao Suwei is one of the seven guards recently established after Donghai Town landed in Taipei, and after seven or eight years of development, it has become a city, and the city is also strengthened by Changhua Fort, and the circumference is more than twice as large.At this time, the Dutch repeated their old tricks, relying on the sharpness of their firearms, and again suppressed them with muskets and artillery, so that the natives filled the moats and then poured into the city.However, Miao Suwei is one of the old seven guards of Donghai Town in Taiwan after all, the city wall is strong, there are many tun troops, and there are many, and the military resources transported to Taipei in advance by the feudal government for the southward strategy are not as easy to fight as Changhua.At this time, the Dutch commanded the natives to recover 2,000 casualties, and finally filled in half of the 100-zhang long moat, and the earth was only one zhang away from the city wall.After the Battle of Jiangbei, Donghai Town lost 30,000 elites, as well as a large amount of equipment and equipment.Nowadays, the ordnance cast by the feudal government is mainly used to supplement the soldiers and restore the strength of the soldiers, so the troops on Taiwan Island have not added new equipment in recent years.On the Acropolis of Miaosu, the defenders' counterattack methods are still mainly bows and arrows and bird guns, which cannot be compared with the flintlock pistols of the Dutch, but fortunately, there are more Miao Su artillery, and bows and arrows and bird guns cannot reach the Dutch, but the Fran machine artillery can shoot the Dutch.The Dutch did not dare to be exposed to the range of artillery, but only supported the natives with artillery, and without the Dutch musketeers suppressing the head of the city, the birds and bows and arrows in the city could shoot non-stop and shoot the natives who filled the trenches.At this time, outside the Acropolis of Miaosu, nearly 10,000 indigenous warriors, like ants, constantly carried soil bags and frames, poured soil into the trench, and the flow of people shuttled, the scene was very spectacular.At the head of Miaosu City, Zhang Zhongjian and Sun Sijiang roared loudly, commanding the defenders to defend, and the arrows of the soldiers at the head of the city shot like a torrential rain at the aborigines who poured the earth.At the rear of the battlefield, the Dutch officer Rothcaner watched the progress of the natives' trenches, and the wide moats had been mostly filled in, and they could basically erect ladders to attack the city.Although the Dutch originally wanted to use the big-bellied natives, the so-called help to the big-bellied natives to restore the country is just a lie, the Dutch do not care about the life and death of the natives, but in order to avoid too many casualties and affect the morale of the natives, they still decided to end the river reclamation."
Your Excellency the Potbelly King, you can make your warriors withdraw and stop filling the river!"
Rothkaner laughed.The Potbelly King obeyed the Dutchman's words, and even gave orders in the native language.A trumpet and the howling of the natives sounded, and the natives who filled the river suddenly retreated like a tide, and soon the front of the Acropolis of Miao Su became deserted, leaving only countless baskets, earthen bags and corpses piled up under the city.At the head of the city, the soldiers of Tun were relieved to see the natives retreating and stopped shooting.Sun Sijiang stared grimly at the large section of the moat that had been filled, and the deep moat, which was originally six zhang wide, had almost been filled with mud."
Commander Zhang!"
Sun Sijiang said in a deep voice: "Hongmaoyi and the natives are going to attack the city!"
”Zhang Zhongjian's face was astringent and gloomy, "A certain has already sent a messenger to the feudal government to report the emergency, the prime minister has long had the intention of marching south, and now he has been preparing for more than half a year, and the army should have set off!"
”Sun Sijiang exhaled a turbid breath, "I hope so!"
The Hongmaoyi firearms are sharp, and I can only hope that the reinforcements of the feudal mansion can be faster. ”As he was talking, a soldier ran quickly to report: "Command, Zhou Qianhu is back." ”Zhang Zhongjian and Sun Sijiang were instantly overjoyed, and asked urgently almost at the same time: "Where are the people?"
”"Back to the command, people have just entered the North City!"
Zhang Zhongjian immediately said to Sun Sijiang: "Commander Sun, you are guarding the southern city, go and have a look!"
”After speaking, without waiting for the soldiers to lead people, Zhang Zhongjian hurried to the north city, and halfway through, he met Zhou Daji, Zhang Zhongjian was impatient, grabbed Zhou Daji's arm and asked urgently: "Has the feudal government sent troops?"
”"Back to the command, the prime minister has already sent troops, and the fleet will be here soon!"
Zhou Daji hurriedly replied: "When I returned from my humble post, the reinforcements had already boarded the big ship and were ready to go to sea, and there were three days left at most, and they could reach Taiwan." ”Zhang Zhongjian was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay!
Good!
Good!
”He said three "good" words in a row, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, "In this way, the achievements of the feudal government in conquering Taiwan Island for many years have been preserved." ”As he spoke, he said coldly: "Hmph, the prime minister is coming, and the Dutch will be defeated!"
