The Luermen waterway is dangerous, and the sea is shallow and sandy around it. It is difficult for any large and medium-sized warship to enter the waters of the Great Bay and bypass the Dutch muzzles.

The advantageous terrain of Qi Kun's body was directly hit by Dog Mountain.

In this way, attacking the Dutch from the sea seemed to be able to fight the artillery turret built by the Dutch on Qikun and the main fort Jelanzha on the front. Even if the threat of the sea storm is not considered, from a military perspective, it is not a choice for any smart person to choose.

However, if the Zheng army used the army to push straight from the northern end along the western plain of the chief and attacked Qi Kun from the land, if the Dutch had no support point on the land, they built the Qi Kun sandbank, facing the sea one by one, they could only fight the enemy alone, waiting to be pulled out one by one by the enemy.

Not to mention that the Qikun body sandbank extends obliquely to the sea, and it is not perpendicular to the Dayuan Island. It is quite close to the Heliao Port to go to Yikun body sandbank, which is much closer than from the Qikun body sandbank to the Sixkun body sandbank to the Fivekun body sandbank, etc. Zheng Zhilong's army can completely carry troops and horses directly to Yikun body.

The Dutch had seven warships in the south of the island, including two single-layer gun deck warships, a communication ship, and four old gate ships. The purpose of the latter's existence was to prevent problems from the shallow waters of the Greater Bay waters.

Even the Dutch people in the south of the island have grown significantly after joining the fleet led by Putmante. They have been increasingly tough in negotiations recently, and there is no such reason. This is not a reason why they can ignore the weakness in land defense.

Whether it is the cannon building on the island at the tail of the North Line or the six cannon building between the Qi Kun body and the Two Kun body, they are not something the Dutch can rely on. Their real foundation is the castle of Rarlandzza.

But it is precisely because of the Jelanzha Castle that the Dutch may feel that no matter how bad the situation is, they can still defend the castle when they crouch inside the castle.

Moreover, they trust the combat effectiveness of their own fleet very much, believing that as long as they act carefully and don’t take any wrong tricks from the Chinese, the victory of the naval battle will definitely be theirs.

When the Zheng army's army came to attack them, they could also use their navy to harass the rear of the Zheng group.

As for the durability of the war, the reserves of food, gunpowder and other materials in the city of Relanzha, if you are welcome, it will be no problem to eat for a year.

Therefore, although the Dutch's attitude in the negotiations has not reached the point of arrogance, he also holds his own force and feels that the Zheng group cannot do anything to them at all, so he is full of confidence.

"The commander-in-chief, the Western barbarians are like barbarians, who are profit-loving and greedy, have a human face and beastly heart, and are afraid of power but have no virtue. Since the Dutch already feels that they are invincible, their attitude is naturally very tough. My uncle believes that the negotiations between the two sides can actually be declared failure. Because when the Western barbarians think that they will no longer have any worries about failure, they will not be defeated at the negotiating table."

This is really incisive!

Zheng Zhilong sank for a while and spoke to He Hui: "Since that's the case, go back and tell your uncle not to be greedy for wealth, that is all external things, and talent is the most important thing."

He could only say this first, but it also made He Hui's heart warm again.

Zheng Zhilong cares about their He family very much, and his uncle at least did not vote for the wrong person.

After He Hui retreated, no one of the backbone of the Zheng Group present looked at the military layout map drawn by He Hui. They had long been familiar with it. With their eyes closed, they could draw a geographical map of the Relanzha Castle in their minds.

But this does not mean that they can come up with a quick way to fight and decide.

I don’t know if it was because of the time difference, He Bin did not suggest to Zheng Zhilong to take advantage of the high tide and pass through the Luer Gate.

Zheng Zhilong didn't think that he had come to this position, and He Bin still hid it. It can only be said that it was twenty years behind. The Luer Gate today is likely to be unable to pass through large and medium-sized warships even at high tides.

What's more, the Dutch also laid a cannon barracks at the northern end of the island at the end of the North Line.

Zheng Zhilong, who is not good at home in history, is even more rare. How did Zheng Chenggong safely pass through the Luermen waterway and penetrate directly into the waters of the Great Bay? Are the Dutch in the cannon turret a fool? Can't you see the warships of the Zheng family naval?

This is the number of days.

When Zheng Chenggong led his army to attack Taiwan in history, the fortress laid by the Dutch at the northern end of the island at the tide of the North Line was abandoned because of a strong typhoon. But now it still exists steadily, and the Dutch even arranged a lot of artillery on it to strengthen the fortress.

Of course, Chichuang Building had not been repaired, and the Dutch built some fortifications in Heliao Port, but they were far from being strong.

"Brother, since the negotiation is useless, why not withdraw the person and start a fight!" Shi Daxuan said eagerly.

This time, Zheng Zhilong brought hundreds of warships. In addition to twelve Western sailing ships, the remaining bird ships, black-tailed ships and other gunships were equipped with cast iron cannons, and their combat power was also quite strong.

Shi Daxuan has never led such a generous fleet.

At the beginning, when the military and businessmen separated, the gathered warships quickly eliminated a large number of small cannons and light cannons. Doing so would certainly help improve the combat effectiveness of the warships. Everyone knows that small cannons are not as good as large cannons.

But the question is where so many cannons come from?

Even the smallest bird boat must be equipped with four large and small red cannons and four large Fran machine cannons. I wish I could fill the boat with it.

But there are 200 bird boats in the entire fleet, including black-tailed boats. After sorting out, the gap in artillery was as high as half.

If so many artillery were bought from the Portuguese artillery factory in Macau, or from the British, or cast by Zheng himself, it would be a big problem, but speed was a big problem.

Except for Zheng Zhilong, who had long been propositioned in his heart, no one in the Zheng Group could have imagined that the artillery casting bureau he had first created, and the artillery production was so amazing.

A large number of small cannons and light cannons were eliminated, replaced by cast iron cannons.

Although the gap has not been completely filled yet, at the current speed, at most, all the cannons will be fully equipped by the end of next year. At that time, the combat power of the Zheng Navy will be even stronger.

Now the warships Zheng Zhilong brought out are naturally full of cannons. The combat effectiveness of a single ship is still far less than that of a Western sailboat. However, many ants are biting to death, right?

Shi Daxuan is now thinking about starting a war so that he can experience it, leading dozens of bird boats filled with cannons, what does it feel like to be a black-tailed boat?

If such configurations are used in the past, they will be the level that only the middle and upper-level generals can have.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the expression on Shi Daxuan's face and felt a strange feeling in his heart. What is this? The 8th Route Army dared to be serious about American equipment after taking the 38th cover?

"No hurry to do this. We have time." Even if we take action, we must try to force the Dutch to fire first.

After looking at the layout map again, Zheng Zhilong laughed. He had already made a successful decision and was not prepared to regain the island south by relying on the navy's force. With the memory of the original owner, he knew very well about the terrain of the area of ​​Rarangzha Castle and Dayuangang. He did not plan to learn from Zheng Chenggong at the beginning. The best choice was to attack the island south by the army with an absolute advantage!

Their only mission is to destroy the Dutch fleets brought to Penghu.

The Penghu Islands are close to the south of the island. As long as you don’t encounter stormy waves, you can reach the sea outside Luermen in one night.
