Everyone talked for a while, and stood up to say goodbye while talking. He wanted to prepare for tomorrow's war. Wang Chaoxian also left, and he wanted to prepare for tomorrow's departure.

Chen Mingxia and Hou Fangyu were drinking tea and talking until the second half of the night, and reached an agreement in private.

Later, when the Nanyang was captured, the goods transported from Zhoushan to Nanyang would be transferred at Keelung Port in northern Taiwan, and Taiwan was responsible for providing protection ships.

The next day, before dawn, Chen Mingxia and Wang Chao first led eight warships and six sea ships to leave in the dark.

This is also to avoid being intercepted by Dutch ships. They will go north to Keelung, then from there to east, and then south to Nanlu County.

There are currently the only two strongholds of the Chinese Army in the entire Southeast Asia, and the other is on Penang Island next to Sumatra.

Nanlu County has the support of Sulu and Brunei. Even if it is captured, it can still retreat into the jungle on the south side of Brunei.

Chen Mingxia proposed to drive directly to Manila and caught the Dutch off guard, but the dynasty first refused directly on the grounds of seeking peace.

As a result, Chen Mingxia did not insist. However, he said that if he had the opportunity, he should still attack some of the Dutch strongholds. He did not seek to win, but he wanted to put pressure on the Dutch.

Wang Chaoxian did not object to this, but he still insisted that he should first meet with Qi Guoyong in Nanlu County.

Hou Fangyu personally went to the port to see them off, but Zheng Chenggong did not come, but sent Yang Ying to come.

The sky was as dark as ink, there was no sound of trumpets setting sail, only the sound of the waves rolling and striking against the hull.

The sun was rising, and the golden light dispelled the chill that had accumulated all night.

The troops of a thousand soldiers were neatly arranged, standing upright like trees in the forest, solemn and silent.

Only Miao Degong was shouting loudly, "Brothers, three thousand people were ambushed last night, and only killed more than a hundred Heyi, which is our shame. Today, General Tan still let us be the pioneers, which is to avenge us. Brothers, take the small town in front of us in the shortest time, and everyone has a reward. Those who first climb the city will receive a hundred taels, and the others will also have two taels of silver. Those who have made meritorious during the siege will have another reward. However, if you do not obey the orders or even retreat, no one needs to take action. My old Miao first cut off his head directly."

The war drums were like thunder and sounded as they shook the sky, which was a signal of attack.

Miao Degong took the long sword and shield from his personal soldiers and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me and kill all the Dutch."

A thousand soldiers shouted in unison, "Kill, kill, kill!"

Zheng Chenggong held the telescope and looked at Miao Degong who was leading the way forward. He turned his head to talk beside him and said with a smile: "This Miao Guard is really a powerful general, and he dares to fight and kill. But the flag is right next to him, and he is held by his own soldiers. He may easily become a target for the Dutch."

Before Zheng Chenggong could finish his words, a shell exploded around the banner, and the banner fell down in response. But in just a moment, the banner was raised again.

It was Miao Degong who abandoned his shield and personally raised the banner and continued to rush forward.

Soon, soldiers rushed to the bottom of the fort and avoided the bombardment range of cannons in the city. They held bows and guns and fired at the head of the fort.

The Dutch began to fight back, and the muskets shot down, and instantly fell.

The shield was raised to form a shield formation. But this could not completely block the steel balls shot out by the musket. Someone was still slandered and fell to the ground, screaming.

The soldiers in the back team stepped forward, some carried the cloud ladder, and some pushed the cloud cart and slowly moved towards the fort wall.

The cannons roared, exploded around the cloud car, and rocks splashed.

In the distance, the only three artillery shipped by the Chinese army to the forefront also successfully arrived at the position and began to show its power. The shells exploded at the top of the city and bricks and stones flew everywhere.

The Dutch's casualties worsened, and they also reacted and aimed the cannons on the three cannons.

A cannon was hit and was directly scrapped.

Some artillery exploded around the other two, and some gunners were injured and were quickly carried down. Another new gunner added up and continued to bombard the castle head.

Thanks to these three cannons that attracted the Dutch fire, the cloud ladder and the cloud car successfully arrived at the bottom of the fort. The soldiers held swords and shields in their hands, and quickly climbed towards the head of the fort.

In an instant, someone arrived at the fortress and fought with the Dutch.

Tan Shimai put down his telescope and said to Zheng Chenggong, who was full of shock, "General Zheng, the battle situation has been decided, let's go back to the big tent!"

On the sea on the east side, artillery roared, and fighting sounds were heard on the road to the south.

It was the Dutch reinforcements that arrived.

But soon, the sound completely dissipated and they were knocked back.

Not long after returning to the tent, Miao Degong was covered in blood and walked in with a head. "Haha! General, I'll get the head of the Dutch general back."

Tan Shimai looked up at Miao Degong, "Are you injured?"

Miao Degong waved his head on the desk and waved his hand indifferently, "Small injuries are not a problem."

Tan Shimai nodded, "Go to find the medical officer, you, and those injured brothers, will all treat the wounds well."

Miao Degong replied: "Okay! I'll go now. General, don't forget the reward you promised."

When talking, Mai nodded silently and said nothing.

More than a dozen people gathered in the small tent, all of whom were the main generals under Tan Shimai or Zheng Chenggong.

Tan Shimai shook his head and said, "The reason why we were able to take this fort within half an hour this time is that the enemy has few soldiers. Our army attacked dozens of times more than the enemy, and attacked from all sides, making it impossible to fully respond. Second, there are not many artillery on the top of the city and cannot completely suppress our army, so that our army can successfully transport the cloud ladder to the fort. Third, the Sogou is not very high, and the cloud ladder and cloud car can be directly placed on the fort wall. But these three favorable conditions do not exist in Chichicheng and Lelanzhecheng."

Zheng Chenggong frowned slightly, "What are the good opinions of General Tan?"

Tan Shimai was silent for a moment and said, "The two cities are supporting each other and support each other. If you want to completely defeat the Dutch, you must first break one city, and the other city will definitely fall."

Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly, "Then attack Chichicheng first? There are only more than 700 Dutch people there. We who have the advantage of military strength will do our best to attack and we can definitely take it."

Tan Shimai shook his head again, "Chician City is built on a cliff, and there are only two not-wide roads that can reach the front of the city. Although there are few enemies, they can concentrate their troops to defend. We have many soldiers, but it is not suitable to expand our troops. Relantshe City is more likely to be taken down."

Zheng Chenggong frowned, "But there are more than 2,000 Heyi in Relanzha City, and there are many artillery."
