Chu Chengdong's three hundred people were looking for a place to ambush, pulling cannons and large boxes and marching slowly.
Aldorp took three hundred men, and because he could not find a guide, he took many unjust paths, but he kept moving forward.
Putmans did not seem to be in a hurry at all, and the fleet stayed at the port of Heliao, with no intention of going ashore.
On the other side, Zheng Zhilong's forty ships also sailed into the Neijiang River, and they did not act rashly, and were trying their best to find the fleet of the red-haired people.
Han Ziji in Anping City was very anxious and had no idea what the situation was on the other side.
To the east of Taiwan, Okundo isn't fast and seems to be looking for a place to start.
Not far from Meizhou Island, the main naval force of the Ming Dynasty was ready to meet the battle at any time.
The Taiwan Strait is tense to the extreme, like a powder keg, as if it will explode in the next second.
The sun was spinning, and the shadows in the woods were stretched long.
Aldorp walked a little impatiently, looked up at the sun, and scolded: "What the hell is the weather......"
A few white people were rubbing their necks, cursing the insects and ants and the heat.
The weather is too hot, they are impetuous, and they are even more impatient when they are bitten by insects and ants.
"Captain, we must find a guide, otherwise we may not be able to get out of this forest......" one of the soldiers complained, and it was so wooded and mountainous that they couldn't tell where they were except by looking at the sun.
Aldorp also had anger in his heart, but he was not the first to send troops to fight, he still had patience, and said with a calm face: "Don't worry, we will find a guide soon, and then go straight to the Red Embedded City!"
” At the foot of a mountain less than five kilometers away from Aldorp, Chu Chengdong held a telescope and kept looking around.
The team leader stood beside Aldorp, turned his head to look at the blurred big basket in the sky in the distance, and said to Chu Chengdong, "My lord, what is this red-haired ghost doing, is he exploring the way?"
” Chu Chengdong snorted and said, "Ignore them first, although this place is empty, they don't dare to bypass it, set up cannons, pull defensive nets, arrange tunnels, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
” "Yes!"
The squad leader replied and quickly turned around.
They were all trained in accordance with the new training manual of the Ministry of War for more than three years, and they were very proficient in the barbed wire fence in the tunnels, and more than 300 people worked together, and the project soon took shape.
The cannon was erected on the side of a half-mountain 300 meters away, and the tunnel was a half-arc along the mountain, with barbed wire and broken guns all erected, aiming at the way from afar.
This is a road that the red-haired people must pass through to go to the Red Embedded City, and here, the red-haired people have to fight without fighting!
I don't know how long it took, but Aldorp finally came out of the woods and into a clearing.
Three hundred people came out, patting around and slapping around, cursing loudly and loudly.
Aldorp had a few red bags on his face, and all of his handsome faces were full of resentment.
"What a hell of a place!"
Aldorp straightened his clothes and looked up not far away, he hated why Putmans was anchored in Heliao Harbor, and he said a few words in his heart.
"Keep going!"
Aldorp tidied up and said loudly.
They are the advance troops, not only to capture the Red Embedded City, but also to guide the large army behind, the time is not early, and they cannot continue to delay.
Not long after walking, suddenly a soldier grabbed Aldorp violently and said vigilantly: "Captain, there is a situation ahead!"
” Aldorp looked up through the binoculars, and saw that the front was a high pile of earth at intervals, with barbed wire in front, and two rows of barbed wire a few steps in front of it, and the front was not visible, but obviously this was not natural, it was a deliberate trap!
Aldorp took a closer look and said with great joy: "Let's go, we have a guide!"
” A group of soldiers were overjoyed, and they no longer wanted to wander around the woods full of insects and ants, but they all screamed, raised their guns, and walked forward quickly.
Aldorp was still a little uneasy in his heart, but now he was excited, and his heavy feet were a little lighter.
In the tunnel where Aldorp observed, more than 200 people from Chu Chengdong lay there, observing their every move from the gap between the mounds.
"My lord, the red-haired ghost is here, what tactics do we have?"
The squad leader whispered in Chu Chengdong's ear.
Chu Chengdong looked back and forth, and did not speak for a while.
There are only three hundred red-haired ghosts, and it is useless to kill them, and their large army has not yet reached the shore.
Chu Chengdong put down the binoculars and thought about it: "Let the cannon be hidden, the arrows and cannons can't move, and besides, the helmet is well belted, only muskets are allowed, within two hundred meters, listen to my orders to attack!"
” "Yes!"
The squad leader agreed and quietly gave the order.
The position built by Chu Chengdong was quiet, there was no sound at all, and because of the mound at the front, the outside could not see the situation inside at all.
Aldorp quickly touched it, although he was confident that he could scare the people of the Ming Dynasty into scattering with a single shot, but he was still cautious, after all, the swords of the 'barbarians' could also hurt people.

Aldorp rolled his eyes and said, "Shout, let them come out and surrender, otherwise they will be killed!"
” As his voice fell, the three hundred began to shout at the top of their lungs, pushing forward and shouting.
The team leader beside Chu Chengdong looked puzzled and said, "My lord, what is this red-haired ghost shouting?"
” Chu Chengdong understood foreign languages, and snorted coldly: "The red-haired ghost didn't hold back his fart, listen to my orders, and shoot as soon as he reaches a distance!"
” Three hundred meters away, a white soldier whispered in Aldorp's ear, "Captain, these yellow-skinned monkeys may not understand us. ” Alpur looked ahead, picked up his gun, and fired a shot forward. bang The bullet didn't know where it went, it just made a deafening sound of gunfire.
The squad leader beside Chu Chengdong was suddenly stimulated, and said urgently, "My lord, let's fire, they are all within our range!"
” Chu Chengdong hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "Don't worry, wait." ” The captain of the squad was impatient, his palms were sweaty, and his eyes were wide open as he stared at the Dutchman who was getting closer and closer.
Most of the other soldiers were in this state, and they were a little impatient.
Although Da Ming did not have the mentality of being afraid of the red-haired people, some recruits or people who had not experienced war were still inevitably nervous when facing the war.
Aldorp held the gun, frowned, looked left and right, and shouted from time to time, but there seemed to be no one on the other side, and there was no response at all.
The other Dutch soldiers were also cautious, looking left and right, fearing that some 'barbarians' would suddenly rush out from all sides and hurt them.
Chu Chengdong secretly calculated the distance, and when he was close to two hundred meters, he suddenly picked up his gun and said loudly: "Shoot!"
” As soon as his voice fell, more than 50 people lay there and opened fire in unison.
Bang bang bang The bullets scattered, and in an instant, several of the Dutchmen who had been crowded backwards fell to the ground.
As soon as the first wave was finished, the second wave of more than fifty people fired in unison again, dense like rain, and the sound of bang bang was like thunder.
"Get down!"
Aldorp was startled and fell directly to the ground, and as soon as he lay down, two corpses fell next to him.
His eyes widened, he raised his head sharply, picked up his gun, and shouted: "There is an ambush, there is a musket, return fire!"
” The Dutch, who were still alive, lay on the ground one after another, raised their heads and shot forward.
In front of them were high mounds of earth, and they couldn't even see the whole picture of the people opposite, only black spears sticking out of the poles and some Ming Dynasty military uniforms.
Bang bang bang Their bullets hit the mound, and the opposite position was like a mountain, motionless.
"Hit me hard!"
Chu Chengdong said urgently while loading the bullet.
He was in a hurry, but the gun was very cumbersome.
More than 200 people were divided into five waves by him, taking turns to shoot in order to buy time to change ammunition.
Chu Chengdong was in a hurry, and the soldiers were methodical, shooting one after another, and all of them landed in the area where the Dutch was lying on their stomachs.
Although this greatly reduced the probability of being shot, there were still people who were shot, kept screaming, fell to the ground, and bled profusely.
Aldorp fired two shots in a row, and then he never dared to look up again, if he was shot in the head, God could not save him!
But he looked around, there was no cover at all, and the Ming people on the opposite side were too lacking in virtue, so he put them in an open field and attacked them!
"Captain, there's an ambush, let's get out......"
A soldier climbed to Aldorp's side and said loudly.
Aldorp pulled him by the collar and yelled, "Retreat, are you crazy?"
Call me!
” The soldier looked panicked, hurriedly lay down, and still said loudly, "Captain, but we can only be beaten, the other party can't hide, and can't fight back......"
