Suddenly, everyone's hearts sank.
At this moment, the watchmen on the fortress wall reported a piece of news.
"Report, the enemy has completely besieged the entire fortress."
"Report, the source of drinking water outside the city has been cut off by the enemy."
"Report, the enemy is cutting down trees around to make war tools."
"Report, the enemy has arranged for spearmen to guard, and the rest are building a siege camp."
The news one after another made the hearts of the entire fortress sink to the bottom of the valley, and their scalps became numb looking at the densely packed army outside the city.
Siege camp?
They can't escape at all!
However, such an ending made Angelo secretly happy.
"If the enemy besieges the city and does not attack, I will have time to allow more civilian shooters to adapt to the atmosphere of war and enhance the defense capabilities of the fortress."
However, Angelo was skeptical, did the enemy really just plan to besiege the city?
As time passed, more and more troops arrived at the Batavia Fortress, and the entire city of Batavia was completely surrounded.
Although Zhu Youchen hadn't attacked the city yet, it looked calm.
But the atmosphere of war has filled the entire city of Batavia, like a volcano about to erupt.
Fry at one point....
Chapter 106
Soon, the siege camp surrounding the entire Batavia Fortress was built, completely enclosing the entire fortress.
Although there is no flag, but the horizontal and vertical strict camp makes the huge camp here feel unspeakably dense.
Solemn and orderly!
Zhu Youchen walked up to the camp wall with his guards, looking at the Batavia Fortress 2000 meters away.
This is an absolutely safe distance.
If you look down from the sky, the huge Batavia Fortress looks like a huge monster entrenched on the ground.
Anyone can think of geometry.
Strict knowledge of geometry makes the whole fortress angular, and there are even many semicircular defensive bastions protruding from the city wall.
Greatly enhanced the shooting range of the fire~gunner.
A trace of solemnity flashed across Zhu Youchen's face, and he immediately took out the binoculars seized from Governor Cohen and twitched.
"Crack!"
The silver-carved monocular is placed on the left eye, and every part of the fortress directly opposite is clearly presented in Zhu Youchen's eyes.
A tightly knit masonry wall.
Densely arranged firing crenels.
Guard soldiers walking back and forth.
The most important thing was that the city wall was covered with a layer of burrs, and Zhu Youchen frowned immediately, with a serious look on his face.
It was a row of spiky sticks intertwined with canine teeth.
Even though he had not personally experienced war, thanks to the flood of knowledge in later generations, Zhu Youchen immediately understood the function of these spikes.
"The simple ladder can't touch the city wall at all. The protruding spikes will scratch the legs and feet of the soldiers who are attacking the city. Block the arrows aimed by the archers."
If the ladder is not stable, the siege soldiers will shake and may fall at any time.
But the spikes are even more tricky.
Not to mention the severe pain of the ten fingers connecting the heart.
The injured foot alone is difficult for soldiers to maintain their balance.
No matter how strong the soldiers are, they can't concentrate on facing the enemy head-on in such a situation, and they can only be defeated in the end.
Even if they survived by luck, the sharp wooden thorns blown by wind and rain, and the long-term breeding of germs are enough to cripple a soldier.
Inflammation of the wound was enough to kill most wounded soldiers.
"Great design!"
Such a design is amazing, but at this moment it is a problem that Zhu Youchen needs to face.
"Even taking these details into account, the artillery can't do much about such a fortress."
Of course, Zhu Youchen also knew that it was not that the artillery was useless, but that the current artillery was useless for such a fortress.
If there is a millimeter cannon of later generations, any fortress can be smashed with one shot.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
At this moment, in the face of such a fortress, in addition to taking human lives to pile up at all costs, there is only one way to besieged for a long time.
Zhu Youchen let out a foul breath, he didn't want to choose either of these two paths.
He wanted to quickly capture the city of Batavia and obtain the wealth inside, but he was unwilling to waste the lives of soldiers at this last moment.
"It seems that Cohen can only try to persuade him to surrender."
Zhu Youchen didn't believe that so many people in the city could really be united as one, and he didn't believe that there were not many traitors.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen immediately ordered to the long swordsman beside him:
"Go and take Cohen, and take all the Dutch captives in the camp to the center of the camp."
"promise!"
After saying that, the long swordsman turned around and left immediately, and soon brought all the people according to Zhu Youchen's order.
More than 1 Dutch captives stood in the middle of the camp in ragged clothes, surrounded by black spearmen standing quietly.
Like a domesticated animal.
Whoohoo! ! !
A gust of sea breeze blew, but all the prisoners felt a chill, couldn't help hugging their shoulders, and looked at everything around them in horror and apprehension.
And when Cohen was escorted over, the Dutch captives were in an uproar immediately, shouting "Governor" and "Your Excellency" in their mouths, subconsciously wanting to rush towards Cohen.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!!"
However, he was immediately beaten back mercilessly by the surrounding spear-throwing warriors.
"what……"
"Ugh..."
Amidst the bursts of wailing, the prisoners fell to the ground and groaned, and the scene gradually became quiet.
Repressed.
Frightened!
The strong uneasiness magnified infinitely in the captive's heart.
Although Cohen is already a prisoner, he is the governor of the East India after all. Seeing this scene, he suddenly felt endless anger and clenched his fists.
At this moment, in front of the spear-throwing fighters, the Dutch are no different from pigs, dogs and livestock.
They have never been treated like this since the Kingdom of the Netherlands became independent.
What a shame!
Shame!
Governor Cohen's heart was trembling, but at the moment he was helpless, his eyes swished like knives and looked at Zhu Youchen.
Zhu Youzhu stood with his hands behind his back expressionlessly, looked into Cohen's eyes, and couldn't help sneering:
"Don't put on such an appearance in front of me. Tell you a piece of Eastern truth. Killers, people will always kill them!"
After saying that, Zhu Youchen gently raised his hand, his calm face was indescribably indifferent.
There was an endless chill in Cohen's heart. His eyes happened to see a few spear-throwing fighters who raised their arms and swung back. Immediately, their pupils shrank and they opened their mouths to shout.
"No!"
The voice was still echoing, but several spear-throwing fighters on the sidelines suddenly threw the short spears in their hands.
· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
Whoosh, as fast as lightning.
"Pfft."
Immediately, the five Dutch prisoners who were still wailing just now were directly nailed to the ground. The wailing stopped abruptly, each of them opened their eyes wide, and their bodies suddenly stiffened.
In the eyes of death, the expression gradually dissipated, and the captives in the field were as quiet as cicadas as the dark red blood flowed down the spear tip.
"Devil! You devil!" Cohen roared, his eyes were red, and his originally expressionless face instantly turned ferocious.
Immediately, he struggled and was about to rush over, but was firmly pressed to the ground by the long swordsman behind him, and two mud marks appeared on his feet.
"devil?"
Zhu Youchen sneered, but without saying anything, the other five spear-throwing warriors beside him threw their short spears.
"Pfft!"
…
Plop, plop, the five of them fell to the ground again.
panic.
Shocking!
The prisoner started to stir in horror, but he didn't dare to make any sound, and a stream of turbidity flowed down his trouser legs.
Governor Cohen even grasped the soil on the ground in an instant, panting heavily, his red eyes almost popping out.
Zhu Youchen looked over quietly, but such a calm movement made Cohen's heart tremble, and he turned his head away abruptly.
He was afraid.
He was afraid that if he was looking at Zhu Youchen, several lives would die in front of him.
It's just that in his heart he roared again and again.
"The devil who deserves to go to hell! One day, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will ask for it back with interest."
At this moment, a pair of gilt boots appeared in front of him. Looking up along the boots, he immediately met Zhu Youchen's indifferent eyes.
"I'm giving you a chance to go to the city of Batavia to persuade you to surrender. If you surrender, I will spare the women and children in the city."
Cohen instinctively wanted to refuse, even to scold.
However, the next moment, Zhu Youzhe's indifferent words came from his ears.
"If you refuse, they will die."
Cohen's eyes shrank suddenly, and his hands subconsciously grasped the soil on the ground, revealing eight yellow-brown mud marks.
"You have no choice." Seeing this, Zhu Youchen lightly tapped the raised mud marks with his toes, and said softly:
"Look at this soil, it's not black yet!"
Cohen's hair stood on end in shock, and he raised his head suddenly, looking at Zhu Youchen's black eyes, he suddenly felt as deep as hell.
After a stalemate for a second, Cohen completely lowered his head and squeezed out words with all his strength:
"I go."
He really didn't have a choice.Down.
