Many Dutchmen who were the same early risers looked at the sky or the sea in confusion. If the enemy came, was it their cannonball? Raising his nose, he sniffed vigorously, as if there was no smell of gunpowder in the sea breeze.

Walking forward, there was a lookout on Fort Flihinlian, which could go up to the third level of the city of Geranza, and if the enemy came, he could better command the artillery battle there, and he was not a timid man.

The city is divided into an inner and outer city, the outer city has only one floor, it is a rectangular castle, it is slightly lower than the inner city, and there are public buildings such as the governor's and staff's quarters, conference halls, offices, hospitals, warehouses and so on. Behind is the inner city divided into three levels, which is square in shape and has three floors; The bottom floor is a warehouse, and the two floors above ground have the governor's office, an observation deck, a church, a soldier's barracks and other facilities, and the Dutch flag is hoisted, which is the heart of the administration.

I don't understand for a while, although the Shenzhou City over there can defeat Charlotte's fleet, but they won't come crazy to attack the city of Geranza, there are more than 6,000 soldiers stationed here. If you look at it according to the standards of the other party's Oriental natives in the past, each formula soldier can deal with twenty-five Eastern soldiers, and it will take at least 150,000 Eastern soldiers to capture the city of Geranza.

Moreover, it also responds to the Red Embedded Bamboo City, and the cannons in the two fortresses add up to nearly two hundred cannons. Who would be so crazy? Don't...... Unless they're crazy! He thought as he walked that way.

When he reached the staircase, the small door leading to Fort Flicinlian had been pushed open from the inside, and a soldier ran out, and even in a panic, he tripped over himself, and rolled straight down the stairs with a terrible scream.

He hurriedly took a step upwards and stopped the guy's body. After only rolling more than a dozen stairs, the guy was already covered in blood.

When the guy saw that it was actually the Governor himself who stopped him, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and clung to his sleeve and said intermittently.

"Big ...... My lord...... Seaport...... Warship...... Sink......! Before he could finish speaking, he had already fainted.

As soon as he heard his words, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shaking him straight up. You must know that he had worked so hard to leave behind these warships, and according to the request of Sir Huck and Vice Admiral Lemmour, they were supposed to be taken to Zhoushan. He categorically refused his request, knowing that as long as these warships were present, he could make the army soldiers maneuver between the port of Anping and the port of Tamsui.

This is also the reason why he completely withdrew all the troops near Tamsui, if they have some kind of mistake, once they lose sea power, then there is no doubt that Tamsui Port will be lost. And in the south of Taiwan, there is no safe place except within the sphere of influence covered by artillery.

"Sir, sir......" Behind him was the adjutant who ran as soon as he sensed that something was wrong.

"Ring the alarm, tell the castle to be on alert, prepare for battle, and ask all the officers to go to the lookout at Fort Flicinlian......"

"Yes" The adjutant probably understood what was going on, turned around and ran.

Take three steps and run to the lookout at Fort Frecinlian. The commander here was Captain Matthew, who had about 500 men under his command and was responsible for the defense of the lookouts, forts, etc. in the inner city.

Matthew was an officer more than an ordinary soldier, though his brown eyes weren't as calm as usual. He handed over the monoculars in his hand.

"My lord, I haven't found the footprints of the enemy troops, and there was an explosion in the harbor just now, and ...... over there."

The five cruisers on which the Graflan and the Egret and the Cookken, Romero and Hector depended on to maintain their maneuverability were slowly sinking, and three of them had even broken in two.

"See the enemy warship?"

Matthew shook his head suspiciously, and said, "My lord, you know that there is fog on the sea, and you can't see eight hundred yards away. And the sound of shells flying in the harbor was not heard, which is really strange, and even if there was an accident, it was impossible for four cruisers to have an accident together. Could it be that the people on the shore sneaked in to sabotage? ”

At this time, the commanders of all the divisions notified by the adjutant arrived, including Lieutenant Colonel Reken, who was the superintendent of the harbor, who was responsible for guarding the port, and immediately shook his head when he heard that the responsibility had been put on his head.

"No way, my ten patrol boats didn't stop patrolling all night, and the patrols on the shore didn't stop either, so it's impossible to sneak in! Unless someone had already lurked in, it would have been impossible for me to break through my defenses last night. ”

I understand that now is not the time to make a clear distinction between responsibilities. Since it has lost its ability to maneuver at sea, it has no choice but to rely on its absolute superiority in military strength to ensure that the city of Geranza and the city of Chichicheng and the surrounding areas are not lost. He turned his head and gave the order to Rear Admiral Billy, who had not squeaked to the side.

"Major General Billy, I now give you command of all the regular Dutch troops on the entire island. Command of all the territories outside of Geranza is up to you. In addition to the gunners, I will recruit civilians from the city to take part in the defense of the castle of Geranza, which I command. You, on the other hand, are to be in charge of all but the city of Geranza. ”

Bi Li saluted, "Yes, please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will lead my army to protect the nearby area." ”

"Matthew, hand over all your troops except the gunners, don't be nervous, I'll have another man to supplement you."

Major Matthew had lost all his troops, but there was not the slightest displeasure on his face. It seems that the island has reached an extremely critical point now, and if anything goes wrong, everyone may die.

"Yes, Lord Governor."

He was very satisfied that his subordinates were able to work together.

"And the port, except for the fortress, all the men must be withdrawn into the city as soon as possible, and likewise Reken you must hand over your regular troops except the gunners, and I will have the civilian army to replenish you. And you need to investigate the cause of the ship's explosion as soon as possible, although it doesn't seem that important now, but how did they do it? ”

When Lieutenant Colonel Reken agreed, he glanced at all the officers and said, "I think we have reached a critical juncture here, so we must all work together, otherwise I will be dealt with by wartime military law...... Good! That's it, let's go down and carry it out. ”

One by one, the special forces who completed the mission slipped back to their hidden villages from the sea. Now that they have achieved their goal of depriving the enemy of sea power, they are ready for the next step of the operation.
