Chapter 129 Capture Heliao Port

After destroying Ferbger, Guo Huai sent people to seize Chichi Town that night. The Dutch had only a few defenders there, and all the Dutch merchants living there had been transferred to the city of Jelanzha.

The next day, thousands of volunteer soldiers carried the flag and rushed to Heliao Port.

The more than 200 captured Dutch soldiers were driven to the front, and the righteous soldiers showed off their might and were very arrogant.

The Dutch in the city of Geranzza had received news that Ferbger was wiped out. Not to mention how Paul, Putmans and others were angry and angry, they said that their chance to send troops to suppress Guo Huaiyi had disappeared as the passage of days had passed.

Zheng Zhilong's army had already seen the Dutch flag floating on Heliao Port.

The Zheng army vanguard has arrived. How do the Dutch take revenge?

Paul, Putmans and others were angry, and apart from cursing Guo Huai to choke to death when he drank water and choked to death when he choked to death when he ate, he could only hate Felbger's stupidity and incompetence.

But Paul was still unwilling to give up Heliao Port, because after losing this place, they would have no place to settle on the land, and the six Kun bodies except Yi Kun bodies would sooner or later be lost. If the Navy could not quickly solve the Zheng navy in Penghu and gain strategic advantages, the situation would inevitably be too passive.

The one who led the troops to arrive first was Zheng Tai, the general manager of Taoyuan.

Although Zheng Zhilong, under the banner of Qi Jiguang, mixed with some memories of military training in his mind in his previous life, developed a training charter, and trained some good soldiers, the senior generals under him were still the old men he had at the time.

Such as Zheng Tai.

This person and Zheng Lian and Zheng Cai brothers are the rising stars in the next generation of the Zheng family. They are all people who are accustomed to steering boats. They have basic military qualities and management talents on the sea, but they are really mediocre for land wars.

In the past two years, I have also read Qi Jiguang's "Soldier Training Documentary" several times, and also compiled the books "Records of Qi Jiguang's Battle Against Japanese Aggression" and "Classic of Hundred Battles" by Zheng Zhilong, but this really does not mean that his land combat ability has improved.

Reality is not a game, it is not that you can improve your intelligence and commander by getting a military book.

The last two books are equated with story books in the eyes of many people within the group.

Whether it is the example of Qi Jiguang's fight against the Japanese or the classic battle between famous generals in history, isn't it a story book for ordinary people?

Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong gave Zheng Tai the order to rob Chicing Town, build a camp, and seize Heliao Port, instead of asking him to merge with Guo Huaiyi to take down Heliao Port.

"Bombardment, set up a cannon and bang him!"

Zheng Tai did not go to Heliao Port to play cleverly. He led his people all the way from Taoyuan, so he thought it clearly, not seeking merit but seeking no mistakes.

Among the next generation of the Zheng family, among the three people who became famous recently, Zheng Cai is the strongest because Zheng Lian is his younger brother. Zheng Tai feels that he can get the position of "Taoyuan General Manager".

Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, one was tied to his side by Zheng Hongkui as deputy general, and the other was sent by Zheng Zhilong to Relanzhe as envoy. After so long, can the soldiers under Zheng Lian continue to worship him as the main force?

After careful consideration, Zheng Tai has some minor thoughts that should not be whispered to others' words.

"Boom boom boom boom--"

Cannons roared.

Twenty five-pound cannons were heard together, and the shells were smashing towards Heliao Port a mile away.

Although the latter was built and reinforced by the Dutch, it was not a bastion. By the time Zheng Zhilong arrived, the wall in front of him had been smashed.

The new fortifications such as chest walls, fences, and earthen castles added by the Dutch were either riddled with holes or were shaking under cannonballs.

These fortifications are absolutely effective against the army in the era of cold weapons. But they are a little helpless in the face of artillery shells. The Zheng army relied on its firepower advantage and destroyed many defensive strongholds outside Heliao Port in two days.

The Dutch were very obedient and felt that they could not hold on, so they just asked people to retreat.

There were two thousand Zheng army outside Hong Kong, all of which were musketeers. This was called the chief officer of the Hong Kong BAIDEL who could not have the idea of ​​sneak attacking and robbing cannons.

When Zheng Zhilong's army arrived, "God, they brought so many cannons?" Bedel put away the telescope, his heart trembling, and he deeply doubted whether Paul asked himself to lead troops to defend Heliao Port was deliberately using Zheng Jun's hand to get rid of him?

The opponent had so many cannons that he could not support Batavia's next reinforcements.

"I want to protest to Paul that Heliao Port is not the city of Jelancha. Leaving our soldiers here and being shot is a crime." Bedel called to his deputy, Aldop, who was also the former deputy of Ferbger.

Zheng Jun's cannon made him feel bad.

But at this moment, God stood up to show off his presence.

It rained south of the island, but it was still heavy rain and heavy rain! And it took a whole day. The Zheng army outside the city, not to mention launching an attack, even their camp was watered through the rain.

The only thing Zheng Zhilong can be glad that Zheng Tai has set up the front station.

With the help of the rebels under Guo Huaiyi's army, Zheng Tai not only built a large camp in the high ground outside the port, but also cleaned up the Chichai Town he had obtained.

A large number of Han people like Guo Bao, their families and indigenous people were taken care of, and the Dutch stables were also cleaned up, and a large amount of supplies were quickly transported into it when the weather was changing, such as the bucket of medicinal powder.

Heliao Port is not good either, and many fortifications were soaked in heavy water. Bedel's face was as pale as a dead person.

"Major, we need to leave here immediately. The heavy rain has caused the guns to lose their original power. We will die if we continue to stay here."

Aldop was a Scot, and for the sake of money he would serve for the East India Company, but he was absolutely unwilling to die.

Bedel clenched his lips.

"The fierceness of the rain comes, and guns and cannons are useless. Our army has many soldiers and generals. If we don't take this opportunity to seize Heliao Port, when will we wait?"

Zheng Zhilong is not a military genius, but he still has the most basic wisdom in his mind. In the camp, Chen Ding, wearing a straw raincoat, entered the central army tent and first wiped the rainwater from his face. He didn't even take off the straw raincoat, so he reported to Zheng Zhilong about Chicing Town.

Zheng Zhilong was completely relieved. His mind moved from the logistics supplies and had the idea of ​​seizing Heliao Port.

"Lin Xishan." Zheng Zhilong lit up his personal touch.

Like Shi Fu, Hong Xu, Gan Hui and others, Lin Xishan is also a famous foreign general in the Zheng group, but his status is weaker than the former.

"The last one will be there."

"Is there any problem with taking Heliao Port for me?"

"Don't worry, the general will fulfill his mission."

Lin Xishan showed joy on his face, which was a great contribution. He happily clasped his fists to take the order and turned around and left the big tent.

Outside, the large open space in Zhengtai Camp had been covered with a tent. Regardless of whether the ground in the tent was a pool of mud, it was at least not allowed to be poured by the rain.

A tent is a shed, densely packed, one after another, like fish scales. It does not consider safety hazards at all.

Lin Xishan did not gather too many people, he only chose two teams.

If it goes well, these five hundred people are enough. If it doesn’t go well, then ask people to recruit more soldiers. Anyway, the two sides are very close!

Five hundred new soldiers stood in front of Lin Xishan in the pouring rain.
