Batavia City, the second floor of the basil on the right.

Yan Kun, the governor of the East India Company, held up a telescope and looked at the Ming Navy fleet in the distance, with a hint of regret on his face.

He might not have sent a fleet to attack the Ming Empire, at least, he should not have sent a fleet to the second time.

In fact, he still has a certain understanding of the Ming Empire, because there are many Ming Empire vendors in Batavia.

Yan Kun is the name given to him by the vendors of the Ming Empire.

His name is not Yan Kun, his full name is Yan Petersson Kun.

However, he had communicated more with vendors in the Ming Empire, which led to the name Yan Kun, which has the characteristics of the Ming Empire.

Of course, he was also ambitious to monopolize the foreign trade of the Ming Empire, and even wanted to open the door to colonize the Ming Empire, so he pretended to make friends with the Ming Empire vendors.

In the past, he thought that the Ming Empire was nothing, it was just a large number of people.

Now it seems that the Ming Empire, with a population of at least 60 to 70 million, was too terrifying for them, and they could not be provoked.

Alas, he really shouldn't have provoked this behemoth!

Unfortunately, he was blinded by the interests and believed the Japanese people's nonsense, and forced a fleet to attack this giant twice.

Now, the navy fleet of the Ming Empire is really coming to take revenge!

The dense black dots represent how many warships and warships he naturally knows very well.

Because you can see this scene every day in the Port of Amsterdam.

That is at least thousands of warships and warships!

At this moment, Batavia's building ship gunboats, ordinary warships and armed merchant ships have only a few dozen, and the building ship gunboats are only a pitiful five.

There is no need to fight this naval battle, they will definitely not be able to fight it.

As for whether Batavia can keep it, he has some confidence now.

If the Ming Empire rushed forward regardless of casualties, he really didn't know whether he could defend it or not.

Alas, if it really doesn't work, just ask for peace. I hope the Ming Empire will not attack desperately. If the casualties between the two sides are too great, it will be difficult to negotiate.

He was sighing secretly, the ships of the Ming Empire had already moved.

Lu Xiangsheng had already taken off his flagship and boarded a wolf-toothed warship, ready to lead the infantrymen of the Shenji Camp to land.

With the order of Sun Chuanting, the twenty Aegis ships immediately split into two and drove towards both sides of the port. Two hundred wolf-toothed warships followed quickly.

Ten ASCHE Shields and one hundred Wolf-Tooth Warships on both sides drove directly to more than ten miles from the left and right sides of the port before finding a suitable location, building some temporary docks, and put down the 100,000 Shenji Camp infantrymen.

Yan Kun really didn't expect that the Ming Empire Navy fleet would bring so many infantrymen.

When he received the news, all the infantrymen of Shenji Camp had already arrived.

I heard that there were tens of thousands of people on both sides, and his face turned green.

This is really a big trouble. The Ming Empire not only drove thousands of ships, but also brought at least tens of thousands of troops. Can Batavia still defend this?

In fact, what the Dutch fear most is land warfare, because naval warfare mainly relies on ships, while land warfare mainly relies on people to build up!

And they have a population of the Netherlands.

In history, they were so crazy that they didn't know who they were, and they even went to war with the British, French and German leagues at the same time. As a result, Britain fought with them at sea, while France and German leagues were both attacking on land.

They are all big countries with a population of millions or even tens of millions, how could they spend it?

Because their army has only tens of thousands in total!

Moreover, most of the bastions they built were against maritime attacks, and there were basically no bastions on land. They could not resist them at all.

Now, history seems to be about to happen again.

If the Ming Empire Army rushed up from behind with no chance, they would really not be able to withstand it, because the total number of troops they defended behind was only two or three thousand, and most of them were mercenaries, but there were at least tens of thousands of people, and it was possible that there were hundreds of thousands of people!

Fortunately, people didn't seem to know the reality of the city, so the Ming Empire's army did not launch a rash attack. At least, he held up his telescope and glanced at both sides for a long time but could not see the shadow of the Ming Empire's army.

He was secretly glad that twenty ASCH ships had already arrived from both sides, and they were directly heading towards both sides of the port.

What is this for?

He looked at the black dots that were constantly approaching on both sides, and couldn't help but wonder.

If the Ming Empire wanted to launch an attack, it would be impossible for only sending such a few warships over, right?

You know, there are thousands of ships parked on the front of the port. What does it mean to have more than ten warships on both sides?

Even if these twenty or so warships are all tower ships and gunboats, it is useless!

The shore defense cannon is not a joke.

It is no problem for hundreds of shore defense cannons to block dozens of building ships and gunboats.

Because it is useless to hit the shells, at most, they can be smashed into the ground everywhere, and as long as they don’t hit the cannon or the gunner, it’s fine.

Their shells hit me, but they would be a big hole when they hit me. The wooden warships could not stop the shells of more than twelve pounds!

However, when about twenty warships approached five or six miles from the left and right sides, his face instantly became extremely ugly again.

Because the distance is close, he can see the general structure of the other warships clearly. When the distance is far, he can only see black dots.

The twenty warships that were approaching all carried strange iron shells!

What kind of warship is this?

He was holding a telescope and staring at a warship carefully while watching dozens of gun doors suddenly opened on the side of the warship.

It's over, this is also a tower ship gunboat, and it's a tower ship gunboat with iron armor!

He looked at the location of the other person's warship, then at the location of the left and right turrets of the turrets, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face.

The location where the warships are parked is not on the front at all!

If he wants to bombard someone's warship, he must adjust the direction of his muzzle.

Isn't this the tactic of the Ming Empire?

He looked at the dense black dots on the front, then looked at the twenty warships sparsely strewn on the left and right sides, and didn't know what to do.

If he ordered the direction of the muzzle, he could hit the warships on both sides, but what if the dense ships on the front rushed up?

By then, they may not have time to adjust the direction of the muzzle!

He thought about it, but he still did not immediately order to adjust the direction of the muzzle.

"Boom boom boom", a violent roar of artillery sounded, and the ASCHS had already fired first.

Thousands of shells hit, and stone chips suddenly splashed on the left and right sides of the two prisms.

Yan Kun was stunned when he saw the result.

Is the Ming Empire's tower ship gunboat not accurate or what's wrong?

None of so many shells fell near the turret in the middle, and all hit the city walls on the edge!

In other words, after such a terrifying round of shelling, they did not suffer any losses.

He was just inexplicably surprised, and another violent roar of cannons sounded from both sides.

The dense shells still landed on the city walls on both sides.

It seems that they are either accurate or aiming at the city walls on both sides and bombarding!

What are you trying to do?

He suddenly realized that he wanted to wipe out the city walls on both sides and then send infantrymen to attack the platform!

The two bastions in Batavia are large enough, but not high enough, because they were either built on the mountain, they were piled up with soil on both sides of the original Gillion River estuary.

The first and second floors of this bastion are only five or six meters high!

Moreover, the two bastions are like the cities behind, and there are not many people stationed at all.

If someone flattened the above bush and filled the moat, and then rushed up with the advantage of the number of people, they would not be able to resist it at all!

No, I have to send someone to ask for peace immediately.

If the infantry attacked and then asked for sum, it would probably be too late.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered people to go to the city to "invite" several vendors from the Ming Empire to be translators.
