Chapter 133 Cheers
Hundreds of Dutch soldiers fled in a panic, and the Zheng soldiers behind them were chasing with bayonets. The speed was neither too fast nor too slow, so it was obvious that they were rushing into the Dayuan Town.
Don’t be too panicked in the militia company left behind in Dayuan Town.
The regular army of 300 people failed. Can they still turn the tide by a hundred and eighty people?
"preparation--"
A roar with trembling and horror suddenly sounded in the quiet town of Daren. Compared with the previous one, Robben now wished he could shoot Wolm early.
Immediately afterwards, a cannon rang out in the sky.
There are two small cannons in Dayuan Town, but the explosion is not a cannon, but a firework.
The Dutch would also work with the times after staying in the East for a long time. This firework represents a signal to seek help from the Castle of Jelanzha.
A French mercenary next to Robben had a pale face. If he could, he would rather escape back to Gerlanzhe.
But Robben obviously could not abandon the hundred defeated soldiers who fled, all of them were his subordinates.
"Kill..."
Lin Xuan, who led the team, yelled loudly. He was Lin Xishan's clan brother. It was not this relationship. It was not his turn to take on this credit now.
It was a foregone conclusion that the Dutch lost the town of Dayuan. Unless the city of Jelanzha sent troops to rescue him, would Paul dare to do this?
Staying in the sturdy Gerlandz Castle, a Dutch soldier could use ten of them. He went out to fight the Zheng army head-on, which was to fight the Zheng army one by one, and the Dutch were also the ones that were not worth it.
The Dayuan Town was in an instant and people were overturned. Don’t forget that there were some families of the Japanese devils here. One by one, the panicked people rushed towards the Raranzhe Castle, and rushed out of the Dayuan Town like headless flies, making the Dutch militia standing in front of them very angry. They felt like the Chinese who were waiting for their own desperate cover to escape.
This feels very wrong.
Several low-level officers were still hoarse, and Robben was also shouting.
Artillery preparation, shotgun preparation, grenade preparation, gun evacuation preparation, and even knife, gun and cold weapons preparation.
"Bang bang..."
Amid the deafening shouts and killing, a few cannons were unaware of it. The Dutch fired two cannons with his own lives, and the two shotguns did knock down some Zheng soldiers who rushed in the front, but this did not play any role at all.
The one in front fell down and the one behind followed.
Robben was surprised to find that the five fortifications he set up ahead - two street fortresses and three reinforced houses were all destroyed in an instant. The Chinese grenades washed the floor, and the continuous explosions made his mind blank!
Then there was the chest wall built on the street. The sound of gunfire and a candle in the dark night. How could it be illuminated the entire night sky? Several figures flew into the back of the chest wall. The sharp weapon instantly poked a Dutch militia who had not yet died.
The soldiers' screams before death were drowned in the chaos of gunfire and voices.
A large number of Zheng army soldiers climbed into the chest wall, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred... How can the Dutch resist it?
The sharp blade pierced into the flesh and blood and rubbed the sound of rubbing.
Robben is very brave.
But when a Dutch officer who had been stabbed in the leg was half kneeling there, still roaring and dancing with his saber. A Zheng soldier approached him with a bayonet and poked in from the junction of his left neck and shoulder. The artery on the neck was cut off by a sharp blade, as if it had stopped for a moment, and the blood column instantly rushed to Lao Gao, spitting the Zheng soldier's face covered with blood foam.
The Dutch officer screamed in his throat, covering his neck and turning around halfway as if he wanted to stand up, but finally fell down.
From that moment on, the Dutch were completely finished.
Dayuan Town fell into Zheng Jun's hands, so Paul of Relan Cham would not have put the Chinese family members into the castle. He directed the cannons on the castle to bombard Dayuan Town for a while, but he could only do so.
From Feerboge to Heliao Port, from Qikunsen Sandbank to the just-known Dayuan Town, he had lost too much army. Even in the Battle of the Liaoluo Bay, there were not as many soldiers of the East India Company who were captured as a prisoner.
The six or seven hundred people led by Ferbger and the three or two hundred people in Heliao Port, which combined were thousands of people. It was not even considered the Chinese security team and the Turkish-Han and Black coalition forces that lost together.
There are another four or five hundred people in the three sandbank artillery towers and the current Dayuan Town.
Paul was under a lot of pressure.
He felt that his future was about to end. Even if the Navy could defeat Zheng Zhilong's navy, he had lost so many corporate mercenaries and Dutch merchants' lives, his best ending was to be transferred back to the local area to be the bench.
Therefore, not only did he not accept the large group of Chinese relatives outside the city, he would insist on not fighting field battles with the Zheng army in the future and protect the lives of his soldiers as much as possible. Then, he taught the fate of the officials to the navy led by Putmans.
Only as long as Putmans can defeat Zheng Zhilong's naval fleet, he can return to the local area to sit on the bench.
"When is it a luxury to sit on the bench?" Paul smiled bitterly in his heart.
...
Large trucks were moving slowly on the muddy road, each of which was filled with food and fodder. On the muddy road, they could only move slowly.
The senior officials have no official rituals.
The Zheng army navy did not solve the Dutch fleet. In this way, the large number of military supplies, food and fodder needed by the army could only be transported by ship to Xuejia Creek, fifty miles away from Relanzhe. This is the territory of the "Xuejia Society" of the Xiaolong Society branch of the Siraya tribe. But now, the natives on the island are so obedient that they only hope that the Zheng army will not clear them. How dare you stop them?
Dock here and then transport it to the shore by a small boat, and then transport it by carriage and horse.
Thank you very much.
The heavy rain a few days ago made the already bumpy road even more muddy. Every carriage, horse, and every cannon running were pulled by horses and drove forward with difficulty.
The horse neighed for a long time, stretching hard with its hind legs. The groom waved the horse whip and shouted loudly. The Zheng army soldiers who were like mud monkeys squeezed on both sides of the carriage, pushing the wheels desperately. The carriage was filled with cannons and gunpowder.
These are all things that front-line soldiers cannot live without.
Although Zheng Zhilong led tens of thousands of troops to the south of the island, there were many people and the cost. In other words, with Guo Huaiyi, the Han villages in the south of the island enthusiastically supported each other and contributed their efforts, at least they solved some food problems for the Zheng army.
Zheng Zhilong also took the opportunity to announce that the people of Han villages in the south of the island were exempted from tax for three years, greatly winning the hearts of the people.
But many military supplies still need to be transported from the rear, right?
You can't expect the navy to win the Dutch fleet before transporting supplies, saving time and effort, right?
I know when Zheng Hongkui can seize the opportunity.
The army surrounded the castle of Jelanzha, and it was not all for quiet battles. The bombardment was of little effect, and the daily bombardment could not be missed.
Furthermore, in addition to the solid bullet, Zheng Zhilong also took out the flowering bullet this time.
Authentic fortifications are excavated from the surface of the ground and connected to the castle. They use mortars and flowering bullets to bombard the city head. While killing the Dutch as much as possible, they are also used to verify the combat effectiveness and safety of the mortars and flowering bullets.
Therefore, the logistics transfer cannot be slowed down for a moment.
Even when I came south from Xuejia Creek, there was mud all over the land along the way. After stepping on it, the mud and water directly over my ankles.
Not to mention, it started raining again in the south of the island just two days after the Zheng army seized the Dayuan Town.
The rain was heavy, and the Dutch people on the city of Relanzha could not see the appearance of the Dayuan Town. But only by listening to the cheers of the Zheng army outside the city, you could feel the scene of the enemy soldiers in the muddy waters being filled with horses. Although the rain was heavy, it did not absorb the enthusiasm of the Zheng army soldiers at all.
"The Grand Marshal is here to see us! The Grand Marshal is here to see us!"
Zheng Zhilong rode a pure black war horse, a rare good horse seized in the battle of Zhang Qiuzhen. I don’t know if it was usurped blood or a genetic mutation, but the height was almost four feet five.
Zheng Zhilong rode on his horse, carrying dozens of fully armed guards, and walked through the busy scene of Zheng's army in the Dayuan Town. Everywhere he went, every officer and soldier recognized his own boss. He stood up and saluted at first, but later, he didn't know who cheered at him first. He shouted at him one by two times, and finally formed a wave as deep as a sea.
The general came to the front line to inspect, and the morale of the army was +10!
