On the flagship of the Ming Navy, Taichang and Sun Chuanting were standing in front of the huge telescope and paying serious attention to the battle situation.

Zhang Zhiji, Xu Yunzhen and Yuan Shu stood behind and rubbed their hands in a hurry.

There is no way, the window on the front of the flagship is so wide that it can only place three pairs of gunbore telescopes with brackets. The four generals of the staff could only share one, and each of them stepped forward to look for a while.

Now it was Sun Quan's turn, so the other three people could only stand behind and stare at him.

To be honest, the Dutch reaction is really confusing.

Twenty Aegis ships on both sides leaned forward and bombarded several rounds, but they did not fire a gun and counterattack!

What's going on?

Could it be that the Dutch guns were not ranged enough?

It's impossible!

The small cannons with a range of about 200 pounds on the tower ship's gunboat have two or three miles, and the giant cannons on the lever are estimated to have more than five or six miles.

Therefore, he did not dare to let the Dragon Tooth Battleship and the Wolf Tooth Battleship approach within ten miles of the port pier.

Taichang turned his telescope and slowly glanced at the fortress on the ridge, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Boya, are they afraid that we will launch a fierce attack from the front?"

Only this explanation would be given, otherwise they would definitely turn the guns and fight against the ASCH.

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting nodded slowly and said, "It should be yes, it is very troublesome to turn the guns of their shore defense cannons fixed on the fort. And at such a long distance, they probably don't know how many ASCH ships we have. It seems that we were frightened by accident."

This is indeed possible, because the ships of all sizes and sizes seen from more than ten miles away are just a bunch of black dots.

Large warships are larger black spots, while small warships are only smaller black spots.

They also seized a lot of Dutch telescopes, and they couldn't see clearly what the warship that was so far away looked like.

If they mistakenly think that the more than 60 tower ships on the front are all ASCHEU Shields, they naturally dare not turn the guns to bombard the twenty ASCHEU Shields on both sides, because once they turn the guns, so many warships on the front are likely to rush forward!

Taichang nodded slightly, then thought: "If they don't fight back, twenty ASCH ships should be able to flatten the walls on both sides of the castle for half a day. At that time, we may consider night attacks. It will be black at night, and the infantry will not have time to turn the guns and bombard them."

Sun Chuanting thought seriously and then asked: "Master, if they turn the gun and fight back, can we consider launching an attack from the front?"

This idea is also good.

Originally, they were not ready to launch an attack from the front. After all, hundreds of giant cannons were facing the front. A large number of wolf-fanged warships would probably be sunk when they rushed up. A dozen or even dozens of dragon-fanged warships would probably be sunk when they rushed up.

The 20 to 30 pounds of shells is no joke, and the wooden ships can't stand it at all.

However, if people turn the guns to bombard the ASCH ships on both sides, it will be different again.

As long as they rushed fast, they wouldn't have time to turn the gun around.

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's see when the time comes. If they turn most of the guns of the guns over and bombard the ASCHS, we will launch an attack from the front."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiji quickly took the opportunity to say, "Master, why don't you go and rest, what should we do for you to watch?"

This guy probably was the first time he saw thousands of cannons fired at once, and he was so itchy.

OK, anyway, there is nothing wrong now, so it’s better for them to see more actual combat scenarios.

Taichang nodded slightly, then explained: "Well, look carefully. If you have any situation, remember to squeak."

After saying that, he patted Sun Chuanting on the shoulder and said, "Boya, let's go and have a tea. The battlements of the city walls cannot be cut off in a short time."

Well, this command and combat is too easy, right?

There is still time to drink tea!

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, then followed Taichang to the side table.

Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen came forward excitedly, turned their telescopes, and kept scanning.

Taichang originally thought that the Dutch would have to wait at least until the city walls and arrows were blown away by holes before reacting. Unexpectedly, he had just sat down and ordered people to make tea. Before he could drink it, Zhang Zhiji shouted: "Master, they have sent a ship here."

ah?

Taichang quickly got up, stepped forward quickly, and went up to take a look.

What's going on?

He was a little confused.

A small boat was slowly rowed out of the river in the middle of the harbor, and the people on the boat were waving it vigorously with white flags!

The meaning of raising the white flag is definitely not to surrender. They are likely to want to negotiate or seek peace.

Just now the fight starts, so I ask for peace?

Why are the Dutch straddling like this?

Sun Chuanting walked up to see it quickly, but suddenly said, "Your Majesty, they probably don't have enough infantry guarding the city!"

yes!

They both admitted Gao Wenlu and Vihofen, whom they captured, had only more than 10,000 mercenaries in total.

And there are hundreds of mercenaries on an ordinary warship.

They sank and captured forty ordinary warships, which were more than 4,000 people!

Also, each of them had to have at least ten mercenaries on the armed merchant ship, and one or two thousand people were gone on one hundred and fifty armed merchant ships.

In other words, if we count the number of people from the Dutch Navy, Batavia only has four or five thousand mercenaries garrisoned at most.

Batavia is also divided into four large pieces, with two bastions in front and two cities on both sides behind. Each piece has to be stationed!

In other words, there is a very likely that there are only more than a thousand people stationed in each of their cities and bastions.

This is a big deal!

Taichang turned his telescope and glanced carefully, then said decisively: "Boya, this is a good opportunity. There are indeed not many people stationed in their bastions. We can take advantage of their opportunity to seek peace to give in the infringers to launch a sneak attack from both sides and take down the two bastions in front in one fell swoop."

Well, is this a good opportunity?

Sun Chuanting said in confusion: "Master, why do we launch a sneak attack?"

Taichang pointed to the little black dot that slowly came over and said, "How long do you think the people they sent to negotiate will come over?"

this!

People seemed to be afraid that they would misunderstand, so they didn't even send a clutch, and the ones that rowed over were probably a small fishing boat.

How long does it take for a small fishing boat to row more than ten miles?

Sun Chuanting estimated: "It will take at least two quarters of an hour for them to pass by."

This is an opportunity!

Taichang asked again: "You said, if we pretend to negotiate with them and let the ASCH ships on both sides stop after a while, will they think we may accept their peace, and will they be careless because of this?"

This is very likely.

Sun Chuanting thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the infantrymen of the Shenji Camp are still more than ten miles away from both sides. They can't run away at this time!"

This is simple.

Taichang said without hesitation: "We only need to send 200 wolf-fanged warships to pick up 20,000 elite soldiers from each. It is estimated that there are only two or three thousand people in their two bastions. Twenty thousand elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp rushed forward is enough."

That said, it is a really good opportunity.

At that time, two hundred wolf-toothed warships on both sides suddenly rushed over from both sides with elite troops of the Shenji Camp, and there was no time for them to turn the guns.

As for how to rush up to the first floor of the bastion, it is actually very simple.

The height of the first floor of the castle looks less than two feet high, just tie the ten-meter-long ladder in the ASCH ship together in two.

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting nodded repeatedly and said, "The emperor is wise, this is indeed a good opportunity to attack."

Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen were stunned when they heard this.

People sent people to negotiate, and they took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!
Chapter completed!
