Chapter 595
At the Jelan Champs, Taiwan's Governor Fels and the members of the Parliamentary Council were stunned and stared at the inner harbor in shock, one after another, in the explosion, sinking Dutch warships.
The flowering bullets in Donghai Town shocked everyone deeply and looked at the tragic scene in front of them in disbelief.
In the minds of the Dutch, Western firearms are far better than Chinese firearms. I never expected that China would have such a powerful weapon.
They all forgot that gunpowder originated from China and was also the first time China used gunpowder in wars. China's creativity is no worse than that in the West.
"His Governor, the Kerlandon, and the Continster were all sunk." Dutch business said in a trembling voice.
In the inner harbor, hundreds of warships in Donghai Town flooded into the harbor by taking advantage of the sea tide, while the southern channel was blocked by Zhao Ming's shipwreck. The Dutch warships in the harbor suddenly became turtles in the jar.
The Dutch officers and soldiers who had ridiculed Zhao Ming before realized the insidiousness of Zhao Dashen.
There are differences in cultures between China and the West. In the Chinese civilization circle, whether in China, North Korea, Japan, or Annan, they all pay attention to killing and benevolence, and do it even though they know they cannot do it. Therefore, there are many heroic heroes in history, while Westerners do not make unnecessary sacrifices, and they can escape if they can't beat them, or surrender, as long as they try their best.
In the Inner Harbor, the Dutch were defeated and wanted to escape, but the waterways leaving the port were blocked.
For a moment, the Dutch warships that they didn't want to fight could only run around like headless flies in the inner harbor and were forced to fight, and the result can be imagined.
At night, Dutch warships in the inner harbor were lit one by one, and figures fell into the water were everywhere on the sea, screaming and screaming, telling the miserableness of the colonists.
At dawn, the battle in the port ended, and the burning Dutch warships sank into the sea.
Twenty Dutch warships and armed merchant ships, three main warships and ten armed merchant ships sank, seven armed merchant ships surrendered to Donghai Town, and the entire Dutch Navy of Taiwan was destroyed.
The defenders of Rezhelan Castle and Chikan Castle saw drifting woods floating on the sea and corpses rushing up by the beach. They almost collapsed inside and guarded the two fortresses and dared not come out.
On the Zhenhai flagship, Guo Zhong was overjoyed to report to Zhao Ming: "Prime Minister, Dutch Navy, the entire army was destroyed!"
Zhao Ming stood majestic on the helm, pressing his hand on the hilt, like a hero fighting against foreign enemies among countless paintings. The red cloak behind him was swaying heroically, and countless soldiers surrounded him. "The Chou Yi Navy was completely destroyed, the waterway was controlled by the town again, and foreign aid was cut off, and Chou Yi only had two lonely castles left. The victory of my Donghai Town has been decided."
"Prime Minister, what should we do next?" Guo Zhong asked for instructions.
Zhao Ming glanced at the harbor and stared at the two Dutch fortresses. He ordered loudly, "The army landed on the shore, first encircled Chikan Fort, and then see if Hong Maoyi wanted to fight or surrender!"
Miaoliwei and the coalition forces commanded by Roskarn have retreated to the wilderness ten miles south of the Acropolis.
After Li Benshen led 3,000 new troops and since Tamsui Wei went south to reinforce Miaoli Wei, the Dutch attack on Miaoli did not go very smoothly.
The new army brought many new firearms, some of the Dutch flintlocks, the new army was equipped, the Dutch field artillery with long range, and the new army also had equipment, and there were more than the Dutch.
In this way, there are equipment in the Netherlands, such as Donghai Town, and there are equipment in the Netherlands, and there are also equipment in the Netherlands.
This made the Dutch, who relied heavily on the advantage of weapons, not know how to fight.
Just now, the battle situation in Miaoli was at a deadlock. A news that shocked Rossell was sent to the coalition camp and rushed to the Donghai Town Navy in Dayuan Bay. It actually wiped out the Dutch Taiwanese Navy, trapped Rezalan, and surrounded Chikanburg.
The coalition's supply was entirely dependent on the Tainan colony. This news surprised Rossell and could only stop the attack on Miaoli.
At night, Roskall was walking back and forth in the military tent, looking very worried.
Now, the coalition forces are in a dilemma. Continuing to advance may not necessarily lead to the victory of Taipei Seven Guards, and retreating will be pursued by Donghai Town.
Donghai Town annihilated the proud Dutch navy, which made Roskarn feel fear in his heart, and there was no sense of arrogance and superiority of Westerners.
At this time, a Dutch soldier came in and reported, "Your Excellency, Chikanburg sent someone to send us news, so that we can return to the rescue immediately."
Roskan asked, "Do you know how many people are in Zhao's army?"
"Your Excellency, three thousand people have landed in the besiege of Chikan Castle, and the rest are all naval troops, anchored in the inner harbor!"
"Only three thousand people landed?"
This number made Roskall breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered: "Let the Big Belly King come to see me!"
In just a moment, the Big Belly King rushed over and bowed, "Your Excellency, I will organize my troops tomorrow. I will attack again and I will definitely take Miaoli!"
Roskan waved his hand, "It's not time to attack Miaoli, let's concentrate our troops to deal with Zhao first."
The Big Belly King was not stupid and was shocked, "What happened to Dayuan Bay?"
Roskan nodded, "A little accident happened, but everything was still under the control of the company. Zhao's army landed in Dayuan Bay, and we must rush back to drive Zhao out of the sea and protect the Tainan colony."
The supply of the coalition forces came from Tainan. If the landing member of Donghai Town was a member of the coalition forces, the coalition forces would be defeated without a fight. The Big Belly King immediately became serious and saluted: "I am willing to lead the troops and reinforce the generals immediately."
"No! You lead 10,000 troops behind you, be sure to hold back the Chinese in Miaoli. I will lead 20,000 people to reinforce the senior officers!" Roskarn shook his head.
Half an hour later, it was dark, and Roskarn led 20,000 people to retreat south, while the Big Belly King stayed in the camp and bluffed.
A few days later, 20,000 coalition forces ran wildly, passing through the mountains and forests, and came to the vicinity of Xingangshe, north of Dayuan Bay.
It is only a hundred miles away from Chikan Castle. It is already a developed area with flat roads, large areas of rice fields and areas where people gather.
Roskall rode on a horse and kept shouting loudly, "Get speed up!"
The Dutch were eager to rescue Chikan Newspaper. Roskarn ordered the coalition forces to march southwards all the way. The quality of the coalition forces was uneven. After many days of marching, the team grew longer and longer. Twenty thousand troops actually took five or six miles, and some even fell behind.
Roskarn was originally preparing to stop forty or fifty miles to reach Chikan Castle and then rectify the army, but at this moment, an unexpected threat from the Dutch suddenly appeared!
In the mountains and forests on one side of the marching road, an army of two thousand people lie in ambush.
Tang Tong stared at the coalition forces marching in the chaotic marching ahead with sharp eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Kill!"
