Correspondingly, at the port waterway on the side of Chixian City, there are only three solitary Dutch warships blocking the waterway.

Kui looked outside the city of Zeelandia again and again, and saw that the residential areas of the Han people were still relatively quiet, with no sign of chaos.Only then did he make up his mind that Kui Yi was going to give He Bin a reward.

On Luermen's side, although the tide has receded, a troop carrier passage for the entire channel has been explored, and a large number of troop carriers of the second echelon are sailing into the bay in a single file.

"Pass down the order and seize Heliao Port." Zheng Chenggong observed the city of Zeelandia from a distance with a telescope. At this time, one of the landing troops had already landed on Weidao on the northern line. Zheng Chenggong happened to be standing here and could see the whole city clearly. The situation on the battlefield.

Kui Yi had no choice, his warships in the open sea were powerless to stop the Ming army from landing in the bay, and the troops in Chixian City were limited, so they could only watch helplessly.

"Your Excellency, Chixiancheng asked you what to do?" Kui Yi was in a hurry, and the signal soldier rushed over to ask again.

"Stupid guys, tell them to burn all supplies outside the city and resist resolutely." Aoi roared angrily.

"Your Excellency Governor, there are tens of thousands of enemies. We should stick to the castle and send a boat to Batavia to ask for rescue." Beder looked at Kui Yi and suggested.

"My captain, have you been frightened by these savages? Look at these Ming people, they are a group of savages with tofu knives, my big Dutch soldiers can beat them 25 times by themselves many.

Believe me my captain, as long as you lead a small group of people to attack, you only need to fire a volley of guns, and then kill a few of them, and then these people will disperse.Then you can kill them bit by bit like elk. "

Kui Yi encouraged Bader, who clamored to kill all the enemies in front of him.

Bader was indeed a little scared when he saw so many Ming soldiers at first, but he thought what Kui Yi said was right. He had dealt with these Ming people and suppressed their riots.In their eyes, the fighting power and weaponry of Ming people are indeed not worth mentioning.

"Respected Governor, please allow me to lead a small team. I want to attack the Wei Island of the Northern Line and clean them up properly." Beder was full of confidence. The Wei Island of the Northern Line was not far from Zeelandia. In the worst case, you can retreat under the cover of the cannon, there should be no safety issues.

"My captain, I will take the initiative to attack these barbarians. I will send three armies to attack them, and I will let them taste our power." Kui Yi was a little overconfident, he is not a good military commander, He didn't even want to suffer the slightest loss.

Kuiyi's opinion is that the Ming army can't even defeat Chixian City, so he still wants to send troops to reinforce Chixian City.

After the Ming army landed and set up camp at Heliao Port, they were bombarded by the Dutch army in Chikan City.At the same time, the Dutch army set fire to the stables and grain warehouses.Zheng Chenggong "feared that the grain and millet would be burned", so he sent Yang Ying and others to lead the army to guard and block the defense.

Then, Zheng Chenggong adjusted his deployment: he ordered Wang Daxiong of the first regiment of the navy and Chen Mang of the second regiment to lead the command ship to control the Luermen Haikou in order to meet the landing of the second echelon; The main force's side and rear are safe, and the Dutch army in Taiwan City is juxtaposed in a situation where they are attacked from the front and back.

Another naval division was sent to monitor the surface of the Taijiang River, cut off the connection between Chixian City and Taiwan City, and made preparations for the counterattack to defeat the Dutch invading army from both sea and land.

The battle on the first day ended quickly, and it took most of the day for the Ming army to land, and the two sides did nothing to each other, and it was too late to even send troops to deploy.There are no casualties to each other.

Chapter 454: The Dutch are arrogant and in crisis

The next day, the large-scale landing of the Ming army began.

Especially in the direction of Heliao Port, nearly [-] marines launched a landing operation along the port that had been occupied the day before.It's almost like acting.

Ba Nanshiding, the commander of the Dutch army stationed in Chixian City, originally planned to send a small detachment out of the city to harass him, but before this army had gone two miles away, they saw that Wuyang Wuyang's Ming army had already started to line up. , They turned around and ran away in fright.There are only four hundred defenders in Chixian City, and it is not enough to send them all out.

"Damn savages." Captain Aldorp led a 200-member squad to reinforce Chixian City and rowed desperately towards the shore. They wanted to enter the city before the Ming army arrived at Chixian City.At this time, everyone understood that relying on this person alone would not be able to stop the Ming army from besieging Chixian City.

However, different from the official history, the Marine Corps that landed now is no longer the equipment of the Zheng family infantry.

When Captain Aldorp and his subordinates had just started to land, the cannons of the Ming army fired ahead of time.

"Boom." The first shell missed their troop carrier, but blasted a high column of water on the surface.

"Grenade?!" Captain Aldorp was stunned. Under his influence, the Easterners did not have such a powerful grenade.According to intelligence, people can only use some solid ammunition and very simple flowering ammunition, and even the Dutch's own grenade technology is not mature.

Aldorp attributed the first shell to the good luck of the Ming army. He didn't think the Ming army had anything good to sell.

"Boom..." Immediately afterwards, another shell exploded right in front of the bow, this time the water column raised by the explosion was even higher.Aldorp no longer dared to say that it was the luck of the Ming army. He knew that the artillery technology of the Ming army was no worse than that of the Dutch army.

"Quickly, retreat toward the north." Aldorp didn't dare to go to Chikan City anymore, he had to return to Zeelandia immediately.This is tantamount to the fact that the Dutch army returned without success, and the entire Chixian City was directly thrown to the Ming army.

Chixian City was immediately besieged in the ensuing half day.

In the direction of Weidao on the northern line, Beder led 240 soldiers and was striding towards the Ming army; at the same time, two Dutch warships and two small boats moved towards Luermen along Weidao on the northern line.

"My lord, the Dutch warship has moved." Liu Guoxuan was very happy. The Dutch had four warships in Taiwan, two large ones called "Hector" and "Grafland", and two small ships. Called the "Egret" and the communication ship "Bo Maria".

Winning the naval battle is one of the campaign objectives of this battle, and the landing operation is another campaign objective. These two objectives were arranged by the emperor.

"Tell Chen Ze that the Northern Line Ojima will be handed over to him. The others will wait for the ship with me. Let's meet the Dutch warship for a while." After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, everyone in the headquarters became excited.Chen Yonghua also hurriedly followed.

The main battleship of the Ming army is slightly smaller than the Dutch "Hector", about the same as the Graveland.However, the capital ships of the Ming army were hidden among a large number of lucky boats, all of which were parked in the open sea, and had never shown up before that.

"Show the flag, the fleet is lined up, and go up." Zheng Chenggong waited for the ship and immediately gave the first order.

Immediately afterwards, the Fuchuan of the Ming Army fleet made a gap, and a warship, also a three-masted sailboat, began to hoist its sails.Because of the lack of sight, the Dutch only saw two faint warships, and at this time they hadn't found more warships behind them.

However, only half an hour later, when the distance between the two sides got much closer and a large number of lucky boats sailed to the open sea, the Dutch realized that something was wrong. The fleet was followed by a row of warships.

"Oh God! These devils." The captain of the Hector and the commander of the entire Dutch fleet screamed: "Quickly order the Graveland to turn around."

The commander had already predicted that they would not win this battle, and he really couldn't be blamed for it, including Kui Yi, they were too careless and had no idea of ​​the changes that had taken place in Ming Dynasty.

"Turn around quickly and outflank it from the outside." Zheng Chenggong made a decisive decision. Although they were against the wind, the opponent was also against the wind after turning around.Moreover, the opponent turned right, intending to run in the direction of Zeelandia. The Ming army only needed to turn right and block the front.

"Dangdangdangdang..." The alarm bell on the Dutchman's ship rang eagerly, and all kinds of sailors, gunners and musketeers were busy.

Meanwhile, whistles sounded on the battleship of the Ming army, and the orders from the bridge were transmitted to the cabin through the microphone. The gun doors of the three-tiered naval guns had been opened, and the bronze cannons were quickly pushed out to the port side. .

Due to inertia, the first warships of both sides turned around successfully, but the second warships sailed into the range of the cannons.

"My God!" The commander of the Dutch army happened to see the scale of the Ming army's warship very clearly.It was also a Western-style battleship equipped with nearly twenty cannons on one side, and the battleship seemed to be lower than the Dutch's hull.

"Fire." The experienced commander gave the order to fire decisively.

"Boom boom boom..." The Dutch army fired first, and a burst of shells hit the Ming army warship. This burst of Ming army was obviously a second slower, and their cannons fired when the enemy shells came.

In this second, the results of the two sides are decisive.The Ming army suffered more than a dozen casualties. If it weren't for the fact that the ship's side was shorter, the casualties might have been even greater.

The Dutch commander was obviously satisfied with his results, so after seeing that his side suffered very few casualties, he decided to fire another round of artillery, preferably to damage another battleship of the opponent.

"Steady, keep going up." Zheng Chenggong's flagship was the third ship, and it was up to them to fire.

When the warship approached for a while, Zheng Chenggong did not give an order, and the two sides actually got closer. The Dutch commander waited for the moment when the Ming warship turned around.He didn't want to hit the bow of the ship, but killed the same as before, killing and wounding more Ming soldiers with one blow.

"The muzzle is tilted at 45 degrees." Zheng Chenggong started to fire, and then the order was quickly passed into the gun compartment.

"Turn around." Zheng Chenggong ordered calmly.

The Dutch commander watched the Ming warship turn around, and he was very happy. There were only a few breaths left, and he began to close his eyes and count down silently.

Chen Yonghua also stared nervously at the left, and a few young students beside him had already turned their faces away in fear.

"Boom boom boom..." The commander of the Dutch army counted down to five, and the cannon had already sounded. He paused in his heart: "Who fired the cannon?"

However, it was not the voices of his men that answered him, but the loud explosion of the cannon hitting the Hector.The Ming army used grenades this time, and the shells exploded at the moment they hit the side of the ship.

Countless sawdust flew everywhere, and the gunners of the Dutch army who had not had time to ignite were beaten all over their faces. They all covered their faces in pain and rolled around on the floor.
