The 2,000 Ming troops suddenly opened fire, and the woods were filled with gunsmoke, and the marching teams were immediately beaten to the ground and scattered in panic.The coalition ranks were very long, the marching ranks were very thin, and after a round of gunning, most of the coalition troops on the road died, and the rest were frightened by the attack, and the ranks were in chaos, and many people turned around and fled.Tang Tong shouted: "The whole army is attacking!"
”After finishing speaking, he pulled out his horse and rushed out, and nearly a hundred cavalry behind him rushed to him.Two thousand Ming troops with bayonets and muskets leaped out of the woods, like tigers descending from the mountains, into the chaos of the coalition army.After Zhao Ming led the army to land in Dayuan, he found that Chikan Fort and Reshalan Fort were not easy to attack.These two fortresses are both fortresses, Chikan Fort is near the sea, and it is built on a hill, the army needs to attack a lot, and there are three layers of fort walls, each layer of fort walls is higher than the outer one, and if you can't find the right way to attack, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties.And the Fort of Reshalan, which was built on the body of a kun, was even more desperate, with the sea on all sides, and the army did not even have a place to spread and shelter.Therefore, Zhao Ming weighed it again and again, he could only trap the two forts first, first deal with the Dutch and potbelly natives who attacked Miaoli, and then concentrate his forces to deal with the Dutch in the two forts.The Ming army suddenly attacked, and the big-bellied natives who were still in the primitive society were suddenly in chaos, scattering and fleeing, and Rothkaner saw that the situation was not good, and led the Dutch to rush through the ambush area and flee to Chikan Fort, but was blocked by the chaotic natives and disrupted the formation.At this time, Tang Tong rode a horse to kill, and in a panic, the Dutch did not have time to raise their guns, and nearly a hundred cavalry had already rushed to the front.Tang Tong saw a Dutchman wearing strange clothes and a big hat, so he stabbed out, bringing a fierce gust of wind.After the Thirty Years' War, heavy cavalry charges were no longer in vogue in the West, and Roskand did not expect to meet him, and he had time to block and dodge, and the sharp horse lance had already pierced his chest, picking his corpse and crashing into the Dutch soldiers behind.Under Chikan City, the soldiers of Donghai Town set up a camp, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the land division and many sailors were stationed in the camp.At this time, in the camp, Zhao Ming stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the fortress on the sand table, and had to admit that the fortress was indeed the crystallization of Western military technology.Such a fortress, before the advent of new weapons, has been exerted to the extreme of defensive capabilities, whether in the west or in the east, it is difficult to overcome.The most correct way to fight such a fortress is actually to trap yourself to death, wait for the enemy in front of you to run out of ammunition and food, and take the initiative to surrender, otherwise no matter how you attack, you will suffer heavy losses.Zhao Ming looked at the two fortresses, his brows furrowed, and at this time, the curtain was raised, and Tang Tong came in with a human head and laughed, "Prime Minister, more than 20,000 enemy troops were killed by 2,000 people. ”The ambush was victorious, which was expected by Zhao Ming, and the Dutch also relied on the sharpness of their weapons to bully the natives, once they faced the regular soldiers of Donghai Town, they did not have the advantage of equipment, and the troops were in a weak position, so they were not opponents.Zhao Ming asked, "How about the capture?"
”Tang Tong said: "Back to the prime minister, he killed more than 1,000 people, captured more than 300 enemies, and the rest ran away."
When those students saw that they had been ambushed, they scattered and fled, and the brothers had no time to arrest them. ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, and then muttered: "The Dutch among the captives are pulled to the foot of Chikan Fort, all of them are beheaded, and send people to warn the defenders in the city, this town gives them three days to consider, surrender and avoid death, this town guarantees their safety, if they do not surrender, no one will be left after the city is broken." ”Tang Tong solemnly responded, "The last general will obey the order!"
”At that moment, Tang Tong withdrew from the big tent and then singled out the Dutch captives.These Dutch captives were already ready to surrender, after all, they came thousands of miles, not to send them to death, but for money and a better life, but out of need, Zhao Ming, who had always treated the Dutch captives preferentially, decided that they had to make an example of the monkeys, so these captives did not get the treatment of their predecessors, and they were directly pressed to the city, and ended their lives by beheading.A few days earlier, the total destruction of the Dutch navy had shaken the Dutch in Chikan Fort.Now, seeing the Dutch captives beheaded, the Dutch in the fort were extremely frightened, but after they received Zhao Ming's warning, the thoughts of the internal councilors were not unified, and they did not respond.On the second day after Tang Tong returned to the camp, outside the camp of Donghai Town, a large crowd of people came, but it was the soldiers of Donghai Town in Miaoli, as well as Tunhu, after learning that the Dutch had retreated, they took the initiative to attack, defeated the Potbelly King, and then advanced all the way south to Dayuan.Zhao Ming then ordered Li Benshen to hang the head of the potbelly king under the city, and by the way, he slaughtered a few tribal leaders who provoked trouble, and ordered more than 10,000 people to surround Chikan Fort.At this moment, the Dutch in Chikan Fort suddenly had an opinion.On the third day, before the time specified by Zhao Ming, the Dutch in Chikan Fort surrendered to Zhao Ming under the leadership of the officer Miao Lan Shiting.At night, in the camp of Donghai Town, Zhao Ming's tent was brightly lit, and many generals and colonels gathered together to summarize the battle of the generals and discuss the solution to Reshalan Fort.At the same time as the surrender of Chikan Fort, Zhao Ming also sent the Dutch to surrender to Resharan Castle, hoping that the Dutch governor Fels would surrender to Donghai Town.After Chikan Fort surrendered under the intimidation of Donghai Town, Fort Reshalan, where Fels was located, rejected Zhao Ming's goodwill and decided to resist stubbornly.At this time, Zhao Ming stood in front of the sand table and said in a deep voice, "The war has been going on so far, the feudal government has lost eight warships, and the casualties of the soldiers are less than three hundred. ”Zhao Ming did not count the losses of the previous Tun army, and of course he did not count the capture and the beheading of the pot-bellied shengfan, but only counted the soldiers at the moment.Zhao Ming's words changed, "But this Hongmaoyi in Reshalan Fort is unwilling to surrender, but it is a trouble."
You look at a resharan fort and think how this town is going to attack?
”Guo Zhong looked at the sand table and said with a toothache: "This Hongmaoyi built the fortress on a sandbar, the surrounding water is shallow, and the big ship can't get up at all, and the bombardment from a distance, the solid bullet is easy to form a ricochet, and the flowering bullet can't hurt the enemy behind the stone wall." ”Tang Tong frowned and said: "This fortress is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the soldiers take small boats, I am afraid that before they board the sandbar, the ships will be sunk by cannonballs, and even if they board the sandbar, the men and horses will not be able to use them, and they will be directly exposed to the enemy's muskets, without shelter, and it is difficult to carry weapons to attack the fortress." ”()
