"Commander, General Abdul Chai asked for instructions. There is a fort built by the Dutch on Sanbao Mountain. Do you want to go ashore and remove the fort first?" The subordinate brought Abdul Cha's request for instructions.
"Commander, if you don't remove the fort on the mountain, it will be like a stick in your throat," Chen Ze said with a smile.
"What Mr. Chen said was that General Abdulcha was ordered to go ashore immediately and sneak up to seize the fort." Ibrahim issued the military order.
Groups of coalition soldiers landed ashore. Ibrahim was very familiar with the road, and he knew exactly which path led to where. Chen Ze secretly sighed in his heart, these Johor people are worthy of being the direct descendants of the Manchurian people, and they are very familiar with the former capital.
The terrain is quite familiar!
Suddenly I saw the army marching to a hilltop. The hill was densely covered with graves. I couldn't help but curiously asked: "Commander, why are there so many graves here?"
"Mr. Chen doesn't know that this place is called 'China Mountain'. The graves on the mountain are all the burial places of local Chinese people. Because this Sanbao Mountain is where Princess Libao of the Ming Dynasty lived, many local Chinese people died after their death.
They are all buried here to show that they have never forgotten their homeland. Oh my, this patriotic spirit of the Chinese expatriates really makes me admire you!" After Ibrahim finished speaking, he showed an expression of admiration.
Chen Ze's eyes were moist, and he ordered someone to take a pot of wine and sprinkle it on the ground, "Fathers and fellow villagers whose bones are buried in Lajia, Chen is here to visit you!"
The fort of Sanbaoshan was right in front of us, but the Allied troops came from the waterway and did not bring many siege equipment, so they had to cut down wood to make a simple long ladder and climb up the ladder.
"Bah~bah~bah~
Captain John and his five hundred soldiers fired desperately at the fort.
"Whoever pulls out the fort first will be promoted to two levels and will be rewarded with a thousand silver coins." Ibrahim offered a heavy reward.
The Union soldiers were excited and fought desperately to attack the city.
The fighting became more and more intense, and Captain John's men were fighting less and less, so he had to sound the alarm. Dieman heard the alarm, led 300 Dutch soldiers, and came down the Managa River by boat.
The arrival of this reinforcement made Ibrahim's plan to attack Sanbaoshan a surprise attack.
"Withdraw!"
He angrily ordered to retreat, and the coalition forces disappeared into the night after hearing the order, as if they had never appeared.
??
Deputy Marshal of the Allied Forces Muldin led 15,000 naval troops and 400 ships of various types approaching the Port of Malacca, but St. Peter's Island to the northwest of the port was an obstacle.
Although the island is not big, it is very close to the port. There is a small fort with twelve cannons on display, which echo the coastal defense guns in the port and form a firepower network. There are also ten Dutch ships moored in the port.
The Galenic sailing ship can attack the coalition warships seizing the island at any time.
"Deputy Commander, if you want to seize Manlajia Port, you must seize this island; if you want to seize this island, you must first defeat the enemy's navy," Yang Quan, deputy head of the Ming Dynasty's military advisory group, said.
Murtin nodded and ordered Merewa, the Grand Duke of Bugis, to lead forty Mediterranean-style galleys and two thousand soldiers to lead the battle. He had always resented that the Ming Dynasty had given priority to providing good equipment to the Bugis people, so he wanted to see their jokes.
.
According to the intelligence, there are ten Dutch warships in the harbor. Past experience shows that no more than 150 galleys are invincible. The Bugis only have forty ships, so they are definitely no match for the Dutch. When the time comes, we
Then come forward to defeat the Dutch and let Ming's advisors see clearly who is worthy of support.
Seeing the flag of the flagship asking him to attack, the Grand Duke of Bugis Merewa set off excitedly. After receiving so much equipment from the Ming Dynasty, he was also eager to prove himself. He waved the flag to his subordinates: "Follow me!" and drove ahead.
At the front.
The Bugis ships originally only had three guns each. After defecting to the Ming Dynasty, each ship had eight guns. This was the confidence that Merewa dared to resist the Dutch at sea.
"These desperate water monkeys dare to confront the company at sea. Let us teach them how to fight at sea." Major Contini led ten Galen warships to fight aggressively. His ship was larger than that of the Bugis.
Double deck, each ship has at least twelve cannons.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
Under the brutal bombardment, ships on both sides were hit by cannons. Three ships on the Bugis side were sunk, and only one Dutch ship was injured.
"Go at full speed, rush into the enemy's formation, and fight broadside," Merewa roared, pulling up the sails, and the sailors rowed desperately, rushing towards the Dutch fleet.
Countless cannonballs passed by his ship, but none of them hit him. Death had no chance for him, so he wanted to surprise Death. He turned the rudder hard and stuck to a Galen ship.
This pirate prince showed the bravery of the Bugis people to the fullest. He grabbed the rope and swung from the mast to the enemy ship without even lowering the deck to meet the enemy ship. A panicked Dutch sailor was caught before he could scream.
He cut down the sea. His men followed, and soon cut down the sails and the tricolor flag. The Galen ship became the trophy of the Bugis pirates.
"Ouch~ow~ow~"
The pirates roared excitedly, and one ship after another fought against the Dutch ship.
The Dutch fort on St. Peter's Island fired desperately in an attempt to respond to its own fleet. Many Bugis sailing ships were hit and set on fire. These fierce pirates ignored them and vowed to annihilate the Dutch fleet.
Major Contini became more and more frightened as he fought. He was careless and failed to take advantage of the firepower and stability of the Galen ship. He got too close and was stuck by a large number of enemy ships, which resulted in a big loss.
"Retreat!"
The Dutch flagship hoisted a semaphore and retreated to the port in embarrassment, leaving only five warships out of ten.
"Is this how the Dutch were defeated?"
Murdin was stunned, and then he realized what he was doing and ordered the entire army to pursue him. The honor cannot be reserved exclusively for the Bugis people.
Unable to catch up, his eyes fell on St. Peter's Island. The Bugis people were the first to take the credit. This time he would go there in person and send out flags to let the Bugis people rest for a while while the other ships attacked the island.
As a maritime kingdom, the navies of various countries are quite good at maneuvering ships, especially the eighty paddle sailing ships under Mr. Din, which are quite large and equipped with many cannons.
The rumbling sound of artillery flooded St. Peter's Island. Lieutenant Safan, who was guarding the island, desperately wrote on a big stone: "For the glory of the tricolor flag, Lieutenant Safan and two hundred of his men died here.
The coalition soldiers landed on the island, but because it was too crowded, they became a target for the Dutch. They rushed to the fort, but they lacked siege equipment. The long improvised ladder was set on fire by the Dutch. Gunfire continued.
, there were actually six to seven hundred people lying down near the small fort. The coalition forces were demoralized and returned to the ship.
"Every ship comes close and fires! Blow up this fort!" the disgraced Mrtin roared.
"Commander, those pirates are asking you to fight," his subordinates reminded him.
He looked around and saw the Bugis fleet flying the "request for battle" flag.
"Humph!"
Mrtin snorted heavily and finally agreed.
Merewa took three hundred selected warriors and quietly landed on the island under the cover of night. He sneaked to the hill behind the fort and began to climb. After reaching the top of the mountain, he tied the rope to the big tree on the mountain.
Go up and fall along the rope.
Lieutenant Savan was caught off guard by the Bugis who descended from the sky. After a fierce and bloody battle, the Bugis completely annihilated the defenders of St. Peter's Island, allowing the coalition forces to land in the northwest of Malacca.
"Victory!" Yang Quan shouted excitedly.
"Victory!" All the coalition soldiers were beaming with joy.
