On the Fort of Geranza, the Governor of Taiwan, Firth, and the members of the Senate were stunned and shocked as they watched the sinking of Dutch warships in the inner harbor, one after another, in the explosion.The flowering bomb of Donghai Town deeply shocked everyone, and they looked at the tragic scene in front of them in disbelief.In the hearts of the Dutch, Western firearms are far superior to Chinese firearms, but they never expected that China would have such sharp weapons.They all forget that gunpowder originated in China, and it was also the first time that China used gunpowder in warfare, and China's creativity is no worse than that of the West."
Your Excellency the Governor, both the Klelandon and the Continster have been sunk."
Dutch business said in a trembling voice.In the inner harbor, hundreds of warships in Donghai Town poured into the harbor by taking advantage of the tide, and the southern channel was blocked by Zhao Ming's shipwreck, and the Dutch warships in the harbor suddenly became turtles in the urn.The Dutch officers and soldiers who had laughed at Zhao Ming before only now realized Zhao Dashuai's insidiousness.There are differences between Chinese and Western cultures, and in the Chinese civilization circle, whether it is China, North Korea, Japan, or Annam, they all pay attention to killing and benevolence, knowing that they can't do it, so in history, there are many lonely heroes who can sing and cry, while Westerners don't make senseless sacrifices, they slip away if they can't fight, or surrender, as long as they do their best.In the inner harbor, the Dutch were defeated and wanted to flee, but the passage out of the port was blocked.For a time, the Dutch warships, which did not want to fight, could only scurry around like headless flies in the inner harbor and were forced to fight, and the result can be imagined.At night, the Dutch warships in the inner harbor were set on fire one by one, and the sea was full of figures falling into the water, screaming for help and screaming, telling the misery of the colonists.At daybreak, the battle in the harbor ended, and the burning Dutch ships sank into the sea.Twenty Dutch warships and armed merchant ships, three capital warships and ten armed merchant ships were sunk, seven armed merchant ships surrendered to Donghai Town, and the Dutch navy in Taiwan was completely annihilated.The defenders of Fort Resha and Fort Chikan, seeing driftwood drifting on the sea and corpses rushing up on the beach, almost broke down in their hearts, guarding the two forts, and did not dare to come out.On the flagship of the Zhenhai, Guo Zhong was overjoyed and reported to Zhao Ming: "Prime Minister, Dutch Sailors, the whole army is destroyed!"
”Zhao Ming stood majestically on the helm tower, his hand pressed the hilt of the knife, like a hero who fought against foreign enemies in countless paintings, the big red cloak behind him was blowing, the big hand was heroic forward, and countless soldiers were surrounded by him, "The Chouyi Navy Division is all wiped out, the waterway is controlled by this town, foreign aid is cut off, and Chouyi only has two lonely forts left."
The victory of my Donghai Town has been decided. ”"Prime Minister, what are we going to do next?"
Guo Zhong asked.Zhao Ming scanned the harbor, looked at the two Dutch fortresses, and ordered loudly, "The army landed, first enclose Chikan Fort, and then see if Hongmaoyi wants to fight or surrender!"
”Miaoliwei, the coalition army commanded by Rothkaner, had retreated to camp in the wilderness ten miles south of the Acropolis.After Li Benshen led 3,000 new troops to reinforce Miaoli Wei from Tamsui Wei to the south, the Dutch's attack on Miaoli was not very smooth.The Forces nouvelles brought with them many new types of firearms, flintlock pistols that the Dutch had, which the Forces nouvelles were equipped with, and there were more of them than the Dutch.In this way, the equipment that the Netherlands has, Donghai Town has, and the equipment that the Netherlands does not have, Donghai Town also has.This made the Dutch, who relied heavily on the superiority of weapons, not know how to fight.And just then, when the battle situation in Miaoli was at a stalemate, a piece of news that made Ross Cheler stunned was sent to the coalition camp, and the Donghai Town Navy that went straight to Dayuan Bay actually annihilated the Dutch Taiwan Navy, trapped Reshalan, and surrounded Chikan Fort.The supply of the coalition forces depended entirely on the colonies in Tainan, and this news surprised Roschel, who had no choice but to stop the attack on Miaoli.At night, Rothcan paced back and forth in the military tent, looking very preoccupied.Now, the coalition forces are in a dilemma, continuing to advance may not be able to take the Taipei Seven Guards, and the retreat will be pursued by Donghai Town.The annihilation of the Dutch navy at the town of Tokai gave fear to Rothskaner, who no longer had the pride and superiority of Westerners.At this time, a Dutch soldier came in and reported, "Your Excellency, Chikan Fort has sent a message for us to return to our aid immediately. ”Rothkaner asked, "Do you know how many people there are in Zhao's army?"
”"Your Excellency, there are 3,000 people who have landed to besiege Chikan Fort, and the rest are naval troops, anchored in the inner harbor!""
Only three thousand people landed?"
This number relieved Rothkaner, and he hurriedly ordered: "Let the Potbelly King come to see me!"
”It was only a moment before the Big-Bellied King hurried over and bowed down, "Your Excellency, tomorrow I will organize my troops to attack again, and I will definitely take Miaoli!"
”Rothkaner waved his hand, "It's too late to attack Miaoli first, let's concentrate our forces against Zhao first." ”The pot-bellied king was not stupid, and was immediately taken aback, "What happened to Dayuanwan?"
”Rothkaner nodded, "There was a little accident, but everything is still under the control of the company.Zhao's army landed at Dayuan Bay, and we must rush back to drive Zhao out to sea and protect the Tainan colony. ”The supply of the coalition army comes from Tainan, if it is the landing officer of Donghai Town, the coalition army will be defeated without a fight, and the big belly king immediately became serious, and saluted: "I am willing to lead the troops and immediately reinforce the commanders." ”"Nope!
You lead 10,000 troops behind, be sure to drag the Chinese in Miaoli, I will lead 20,000 people, reinforcements!
”Rothkaner shook his head.Half an hour later, when it was dark, Rothkaner retreated south with 20,000 men, while the Potbelly King remained in the camp and bluffed.A few days later, 20,000 allied troops rushed all the way through the mountains and forests to the vicinity of Xingangshe in the north of Dayuan Bay.It is only a hundred miles away from Chikan Fort, and it is already a developed area, with smooth roads, large rice fields and areas where people gather.Rode on a horse, Rothkaner kept shouting, "Speed up!"
”The Dutch were anxious to rescue Chikan, and Rookcan ordered the coalition army to march all the way to the south, and the quality of the coalition army was uneven, and after many days of marching, the team became longer and longer, and 20,000 horses and horses were pulled for five or six miles, and some people even fell behind.Rothcan was originally going to stop again after reaching Fort Chikan forty or fifty miles away, and gather and reorganize his army, but at this moment, an unexpected threat from the Dutch suddenly appeared!
In the mountains and forests on the side of the marching road, an army of 2,000 men lay in ambush.Tang Tong stared sharply at the chaotic marching coalition army in front of him, and suddenly shouted, "Kill!""
Kill—" ()
