The defenders on the shore were not actually caught off guard.

In fact, one day before they received news that a fleet appeared near the strait.

Although I will be skeptical about this.

But there are still enough preparations here.

Dozens of forts arranged here are guarded day and night.

And there were more than 500 soldiers stationed here.

Not to mention, there are hundreds or thousands of sailors and soldiers on the ships that are anchored and replenished here, resting at this port.

What's more, it's not far from Chichi City, where the Netherlands troops can come to help at any time.

Before this, because of the Ming army in Penghu and when they were fighting for colonial territory, the Netherlands, Spain and Portuguese were in constant conflict. In order to prevent, many fortifications and fortresses were built on this land.

It can be said that... this place is almost solid.

Even if it is not solid, it will not be a problem if you stick to it for ten days and half a month.

But... when the ironclad ship appeared and launched an attack, countless artillery fire roared, and the turrets on the shore could not reach the ships in the bay.

Everything... is over.

Destroy and destroy.

The power of the flowering shells is too great, and they are all heavy artillery. The fifteen-pound howitzer fell down directly. Once it exploded, it would splash flames and fragments of shells and steel balls inside.

The fire was raging, and most people... were blown up all over their bodies.

This person with bloody flesh and blood burned all over his body so that only the burnt corpse was left, which gave him a huge impact.

At this time, Europa was still in the era of black powder.

Although they have made many improvements to black gunpowder, it can be said that since the East invented gunpowder and slowly introduced it to Europa, the Europa people are most concerned about the improvement of black gunpowder.

After all, what they lived in was the "Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period". All the skills, ideas and economic foundations in the present are almost all for war. In order to continuously explore the potential of war, they can be said to rack their brains and provide all the resources they can provide.

But the terrifying thing about Yellow Gunpowder is that it completely ignores the current rules of war.

The range is longer, the power is greater, and the lethality is amazing.

Therefore, when Li Dingguo arrived at the beach, the sound of muskets on the beach had already scattered, and only occasionally people would find fish that had missed the net.

A large number of horses began to attract animal resources, and everyone cleaned up, and Li Dingguo was no longer able to stay here.

The first order issued was to take down Chichicheng immediately.

Soldiers are more important than speed. If you don’t take it at this time, when will you wait?

So... the baggage team can allow them to set off slowly.

Although there are many artillery guns in the baggage team.

Logically speaking, it is a powerful weapon to attack the city.

But the transportation speed is still too slow.

Li Dingguo decided to take advantage of the opponent's lack of preparation and directly select more than a thousand elite soldiers and advance immediately. If he had the chance, he would do a vote. If he had no chance, he would be besieged again and wait for the back team's baggage to be transported over.

There is no structure in fighting.

Although I have learned a lot in the military academy, when I really get the task in the face of danger, it is actually the test of human nature.

In fact, any general knows the art of war, and it is a minority who do not understand the art of war.

But victory or defeat...the essence is to test the human nature of every general.

You seized the fighter plane and dared to make a decision immediately.

If you encounter difficulties, can you still remain calm and continue to make the best judgment?

Li Dingguo was born like this. Once he arrived on the battlefield, he was very decisive. In his opinion, the essence of marching and fighting was that once he had the lead, he would take the lead everywhere and would never give anyone any chance to breathe. In this way, the thief naturally became passive everywhere and was beaten until they died.

A team of people set out lightly, while the rest continued to rest on the spot.

Soon, Zhang Jing landed on the shore and looked at the devastated state in front of him, and couldn't help but want to cover his eyes with his big sleeves.

After all, the devastation of life is not something worth appreciating.

Liang Wenwu, who was following Zhang Jingyi, was very tactful. He not only understood the ship, but also the mentor, so he immediately directed people to lift the nearby corpses away and wiped the bloodstains clean.

But after all, after a war, the strong smell of blood was difficult to dissipate, but obviously... Zhang Jingyi felt much better.

After getting on land, Zhang Jingyi was a little tired. It was only the first time he landed on this island. He was not idle and immediately led a team of people to patrol the fort.

In the afternoon, I barely used a little pastry in this granite fortification, and then... the latest news came.

The news came from Li Dingguo.

The vanguard army led by Li Dingguo rushed to Chichi City without stopping.

Even their speed was faster than the defeated soldiers at the port.

Na Chichicheng had just received news of the attack on the port, and had not yet begun to be truly alert.

Because on the one hand, the news has not been identified yet and cannot be confirmed as true or false. On the other hand, even if it is attacked, they should have believed that the port can last for at least a few days.

Even if the port fell immediately, the Ming army that attacked the Netherlands would have to rest before they could continue to advance.

When we arrive slowly with our baggage, it will be a few days later.

This is just their opinion, but the reality is...

The Ming army suddenly arrived.

The other party's military fortress didn't even have time to close the gate.

He was immediately broken.

Immediately, the muskets fired at the fortress, and even... there were people setting up a machine gun position at the door of the fortress.

So, it is like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Chi Jian fell into Li Dingguo's hands.

The Donglin Army lost seven people, killed more than 200 thieves, and more than 1,000 Netherlands were captured.

When Zhang Jing was given the report, she was shocked and couldn't help but feel happy. She couldn't help but sigh: "Excellent, then, we don't have to go to Chi Chi, and send the orders to go to the city of Relanzha immediately."

After everyone was ordered, the Donglin Army, who had already rested, was almost unstoppable and immediately set out to the destination.

Although Zhang Jing was always calm and composed on the other hand, in fact, Zhang Jingyi was actually quite tempted to take all his bets at this time.

My own fleet came alone, and the gunpowder and supplies brought by it were limited.

Then we must quickly sweep the Dutch people of Ryukyu, gain a foothold, and cut off the food and supplies of the Europa fleet to succeed.

Once the war is intensified, there will be the Netherlands on the island, even in Northern Ryukyu, and Spanish colonial forces may rush to assist the Netherlands. On the other hand, the joint fleet will inevitably gather countless ships to attack the port frantically, trying to cut off the retreat of the Liaodong fleet.

Therefore, now is equivalent to racing against time. If Zhang Jingyi cannot quickly cut off the back of the joint fleet, then his back will be cut off.

……………………

Inside the city of Jelancha.

This is actually Taiwan City.

The Netherlands...at first called it Orange, but then changed it to Horanzha.

Here they drove out the original natives and Han people, drove them to live in nearby mountains and forests, and built their own cities here.

In order to show the Dutch's determination to permanently steal the place, the Dutch spent countless manpower and material resources, and even the board of directors of the East India Company of the Netherlands, a seventeen-member company, unanimously decided to transfer many soldiers, merchants and craftsmen from the Netherlands to settle here.

The construction of these countless fortresses itself exceeds the value of the waterway trading point here.

This is because in the eyes of the Netherlands, it is a future investment.

At this time, the governor of the Netherlands was Cohen, who quickly received news from the port.

At first, he was unbelievable because the news was so bizarre that it was completely beyond his imagination.

At least in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty did not have a large-scale water fleet.

Although there is a fleet of armed merchant ships, most of them are still mainly cargo ships, and only some weapons are added. Although the Ming army will add some new ships, these new ships... are a minority.

The reason is very simple. The wood for shipbuilding requires many processes to prevent seawater erosion. Therefore, in Cohen's expectation, it would take at least fifteen to thirty years for the Ming Dynasty to build a truly large fleet.

This is by no means a joke. At least in this era, any navy will need this long cycle, without exception.

Since there is no large fleet, and when the ocean is almost controlled by the joint fleet, how can they have the courage to arrive here directly?

Having lost control of the sea, could it be that he attacked Ryukyu entirely by luck?

This is obviously impossible, because to attack here, at least a considerable fleet is required, and this...

The more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt.

It was not until Chi Chi City also heard the terrible news that Chi Chi fell that Coen realized...those his own conjectures became ridiculous.

So, after he realized the facts, he immediately issued an order, and the entire city of Gerlandzha was full of vigilance, while more than 2,300 Dutch soldiers quickly entered the fortress to defend.

As long as you persist, there is a way.

What's more, this fortress is a truly indestructible fortress, with soldiers in the city sufficient gunpowder, fresh water and food enough to support for a year.

Not to mention a year, I am afraid that if I persist for three months, the Ming army will not be able to hold on.

Even...Cohen predicts that this time may be shortened by only ten days.

Because the Ming army could not provide supplies, these Ming army were afraid that they could not hold on.

He quickly ordered his servant to find a man, and then said fiercely: "Why are there no signs in advance? Didn't it mean that there is no ship in the Ming Dynasty to go into the sea?"
