Chapter 626 The Governor skipped the blame and the Ming army besieged the city!

With the walkie-talkie and the victory side, the Ming army naturally received the news that the battle in the northern sand island was over.

Zheng Hongkui, who knew the importance of this war, personally led the Seventh Town of the Nanyang Navy as an admiral, and the 11th Town occupied the outer port of Dayuan Island.

The 12th Town of the Nanyang Navy was responsible for attacking the northern sand island.

The Thirteenth Town confronted the Dutch fleet from Batavia at the sea further outside.

Although we know that our equipment is much better than the Dutch knows and the chance of defeating this battle is also high, Zheng Hongkui also knows how difficult it is to fight the northern sand island.

Even if he took three days to open up the northern sand island, it was within his acceptance range.

Unexpectedly, the Navy and the Garrison Army of the 12th Town actually opened it up in one day.

After receiving this news, Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but pound his left palm with his right hand and said, "Okay!".

Then he issued an order according to the planned combat plan—

"Immediately inform the 12th Town Navy and the Guangdong Garrison that while it was still three or four hours before dark, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue the island at the end of the North Line and form a joint attack on the city of Relanzha with our troops!"

"I inform the Fujian garrison that there is no need to hesitate. We should attack Chichicheng as soon as possible. The minimum requirement is to surround Chichicheng and isolate its communication with Relanzha City!"

"In addition, inform the 13th town of the Navy to closely monitor the movements of the Dutch fleet in the offshore. If he intends to attack our troops, he should intercept them in time!"

Zheng Hongkui also studied at Nanjing Military Academy, and now he serves as a lecturer at Fujian Naval Academy, so he also has some combat thinking and terminology from later generations in his words.

As he issued a series of military orders, the commuters left one by one, either heading to the communication group responsible for the intercom, or taking a sailboat to pass the orders directly.

The 12th Navy Town and the two towns of the Guangdong Garrison Army in the northern sand island received the military order from Zheng Hongkui using the walkie-talkie.

So I immediately crossed the sea to attack Beiyi Island.

The Dutch also built many forts and forts on the North Tail Island, and even had a small basin that could accommodate hundreds of people. The Dutch word was transliterated as "Ret Non-Law Fort" and the Han people abbreviated as Refort.

Unfortunately, the Ming army had the northern sand island as its foothold. The narrowest part was less than one mile away from the North Tail Island. It could be supported by artillery carried by the garrison army, and artillery left by the Dutch were also available.

More fierce than when attacking Sand Island.

The sand island also allows the Guangdong garrison army to invest more soldiers in the attack.

Therefore, even though there was a small bastion in the North Tail Island, it was still captured by the Ming army with thunder before dark.

This battle can be said to be under the gaze of the Dutch people in Jelancha - there is a Mile Mile, even if they cannot see the details of the battle, the general situation can be seen.

In addition, the less than 100 Dutch soldiers who fled back from Sand Island and North Tail Island, Oward and others, Jelancha City decision-making levels finally understood the firepower of the Ming army more clearly.

For this reason, Oward had no time to hold a board meeting, and he had a quarrel with Connor and Gelder on the top of the city.

"Gerde, don't you tell me that the military equipment is shallow? What's wrong with the Ming warships equipped with nearly twenty heavy artillery pieces? You have to know that even our fourth-level battleships are not equipped with so many heavy artillery pieces!"

"Col. Conner, didn't you say you wanted to rely on the city of Relanzha and Chichi to make the Ming army go bloody?

Now the Ming army is not bleeding, but we have killed more than 200 soldiers in battle! The northern sandbank and the northern front island were thrown away! Even Prowencha (Chiciancheng) will be surrounded by the Ming army and cut off contact!

”

"I've said it a long time ago that Ming Dynasty has undergone some changes in the past one or two years. It's not easy to fight, but no one listens to me..."

"Enough of the Governor!" Gelder suddenly interrupted Oward and said with a cold face: "What's the use of saying this now? Are you shirking responsibility?

You are the governor. If Formosa is really lost, the best outcome will be to be fired by the company and return to the Netherlands to retire without anything!”

Connor also came to his senses at this time, his face looking ugly.

Instead of squirting to Oward, he murmured: "The Ming people's attack is too fast, and Rewufalu falls too fast, otherwise we can send people to support us.

With the support of naval guns and a 300-man musket team, Rebuilt would not fall so easily."

As he said that, his eyes gradually became sharper again. He turned to stare at Oward, and Gelder said: "However, even if the Ming people have fierce firepower, it will be difficult for them to break through the city of Jelanzha.

The city of Rhelan Cha is unique and has a strong defense function, which is not comparable to the northern sand island and the Hewu Fortress.

What we need to do now is to send troops to support Chichicheng, and we cannot let Chichicheng be blocked or even captured by the Ming army!"

"No!" Oward directly denied Connor's suggestion, "The soldiers in Gerlandzha may not be enough, and they can no longer divide their troops to rescue Chichicheng. And now you are sending people to Chichicheng, you are sure that you are not letting them go

Are the soldiers dead?!"

Gerder, who had just criticized Oward, also said at this time: "Col. I don't recommend dividing troops to support Chichi City anymore - this is a bad idea."

"We must compete with the Ming people for every stronghold, and we cannot give up Chi Chicheng easily!" Connor tried hard to explain, blushing his face and his neck was thick.

Gerder pushed his glasses and said, "If you lose other places, you will lose them. As long as you can protect Gerranzha, we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Oward said with a cold face: "Col. Do you need me to hold a board meeting?"

When he heard this sentence again, Conner was so angry that he wanted to punch Oward in the head with a punch.

The members of the board of judges are either from Obard or from Geld, and at most a few senior officers support him.

Therefore, convening a board meeting will not allow his suggestions to be implemented at all, but will only humiliate him.

Understanding this, Connor became even more angry and shook his hands and left the city wall - it was already dark anyway, so it was impossible for Ming people to attack Relanzha City today.

The next day is May 29th.

Before eight o'clock, the Fujian garrison, who had eaten early, took action and surrounded Chichicheng in an orderly manner.

The Dutch actually made a lot of military arrangements in Chikan.

First of all, there are four hundred Dutch soldiers and dozens of cannons in Chichi City, which is more than enough to guard Chichi City, a small castle.

It should be noted that when Zheng Chenggong took this place in later history, he also surrounded Chichicheng City, but did not choose to attack, but cut off its water source. After four or five days, the city was short of water and the Dutch surrendered.

At that time, Zheng Chenggong had an absolute advantage in military strength, but he was unwilling to attack. It can be seen that although Chi Chicheng City was not as good as Relanzha City, it was also difficult to attack.

Secondly, the Dutch had already ordered the nearby tribes to attack the Ming army that appeared on the island.

In other words, while the Ming army besieged Chichicheng, it also needed to guard against the sneak attacks of the foreigners.

Finally, because of the three months of preparation time in this world, Chiqian City has reserved sufficient food and water in the city, considering the surrounding and blockade.

It can be said that compared to the attacks of the Zheng army in later generations, the Dutch people in this world made much more preparations when dealing with the Ming army.

Unfortunately, the Ming army now has surpassed the Zheng army in later history, especially in terms of guns and cannon equipment.

The highest official of Chichi City and the highest military commander, Lieutenant Colonel Basel.

When he heard that the Ming army appeared outside the city, he didn't care about the cream toast bread he had not finished, so he hurriedly climbed the city wall.

Looking around, Basel couldn't help but greet his Lord.

"God, how could the Ming people have so many cannons, and how did they bring these cannons here?"

The Dutch soldiers on the city wall were also shocked when they looked at the Ming army that was posing in formation outside.

Under the brilliance of the rising sun, there were countless Ming soldiers wearing red cloth armor, and they lined up into a strict military formation, as if a sea of ​​flames surrounded Chi Chicheng City.

At this time, the soldiers at their forefront were orderly pushing out a cannon with a cannon and quickly setting up the cannon position.

Those cannons were neither as yellow, orange, green as cast by copper, nor as dark and heavy as cast by iron, but shining with silver light in the morning sun, reminding many Dutch soldiers of the missionary's chest.

silver cross.

Second update.
