"Enemy attack! - Enemy attack! - (Dutch)" Felix said with wide eyes and horror.

No one knew how the fleet in the fog had managed to get here through the Geranza Line, but perhaps the Dutch in Prominsha didn't have time to think about it, and the Battle of the Ryukyus began in the foggy morning.

Boom - boom - the first to open fire was the No. 1 Fu ship Jingyuan, as the main battleship of the Beiyang Naval Division, the No. 1 Fu ship was 20 zhang long, and the upper and lower floors were equipped with a total of 50 guns, 24 on the left and right.

"Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! Fast! Fast! "Inside the Jingyuan, the captain Cui Geng and the first mate are directing the operation of the huge warship with their voices in their voices.

After the guns on the side of the battleship are fired, the experienced captain can use the huge impact of the guns to complete the rudder maneuver faster, which is crucial in naval warfare.

Almost at the same time, the three No. 1 ships and six No. 2 ships in the front row of the Beiyang Naval Division in the inland waters of the Taijiang River completed the shelling and rudder maneuvers, and the battleships in the rear row also opened fire one after another.

In just half an hour, all the battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division that had a range of fire poured their artillery fire on the Pulinsha Castle.

The roar of the cannons was deafening, but the effect was extremely limited, and it was disappointing, and it would take days for solid cannonballs to bombard ordinary walls, let alone those like Europa, who loved to build walls out of boulders.

Hundreds of shells hit the wall, and the city wall of the city was only blown off a few stones, and the defense of the wall was desperate.

It's just strange that the bombardment went on for nearly a quarter of an hour, but not a single shot was fired on the city, which made the captains, including Cui Geng, think about it.

You must know that although the surface of their battleship is covered with steel armor, the battleship is facing the fire of the heavy artillery of the entire castle, and the heavy artillery on the castle is not comparable to that of the battleship, and many captains are skeptical about the defense of the ironclad ship.

Although the artillery of the Beiyang Naval Division had no effect on the dark and black city wall, the flagship did not issue an order to stop the attack, and all the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division still opened their cannons, turned their rudders, and opened their cannons in an orderly manner.

"Jinsong, it's up to you next." On the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division, Liu Hong gradually rushed to Qin Gongming, the general soldier of Quanzhou on the troop transport ship not far away, and Jinsong was his cousin.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, you will take this city and dedicate it to your lordship!" Qin Gongming, who had lost his left arm, bowed down to Liu Hong, and then with a wave of his hand, fourteen troop transport ships landed on the west side of the Taijiang River under the cover of several winter ships.

"Master, it was really a god just now, but how did you know that the water level in Luermen would rise so much today?" Niu Dabang mallet held a heavy shield in his hand, protecting Liu Hong.

Although in the past few years, Niu Dabang has already been surprised by Liu Hong's strength, but this is too godly, is it possible that his own master really fell from the sky?

It's not a surprise that the sea rises and falls twice a day, which is not unusual for fishermen along the coast.

There are many shallow reefs in the Luermen channel, and the warships cannot enter it at all because of the deep draft, even when the tide rises every day, and it is precisely because of this that the Dutch did not blockade Luermen.

Not only is the bull big stick mallet, but the most surprised is He Bin, who has lived in the Ryukyus for more than ten years, and he doesn't even know that the first day of the month has the highest tide.

Also, who in power would go to the beach early in the morning to measure the water level?

"Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, this time it all depends on General Qin's white pole soldiers." Liu Hong smiled slightly.

In addition to Liu Hongji, only Qi Yuangong thought of a thing with him - the tide, and only with the help of the tide could Chen Cang be darkened.

In one day, except for the north and south poles and individual regions, the tides rise and fall twice in each day, each time for a period of 12 hours and 25 minutes, twice a day, a total of 24 hours and 50 minutes, and the time of the tides rises and falls by 50 minutes every day.

In his previous life, his qualifications were mediocre, and of course Liu Hongjian couldn't calculate which month, day, time and time the tide rose, but he knew that the tide level rose to the highest at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month.

Six o'clock in the afternoon was daytime, which was not conducive to the cover of the fleet, so Liu Hong gradually set the timing of the attack in the early morning of the next day, that is, today.

Although the time was very short, but for a long time to raise troops for a thousand days, Penghu City left behind the 14 damaged warships and 1,000 wounded, and all the rest of the soldiers only rested for three hours before eagerly pulling anchor and setting sail.

The reason for such a hurry, in addition to the fact that the next day is the first day of June, another reason is the problem of the defense of the city of Puluo.

He Bin told Liu Hongjian that the Dutch governor Ovatt was so confident in the fortifications of the Geranza-Dagang channel that the later city of Prominsha was only used as a civilian city, and most of the people living in it were Dutch merchants and the families of the East India Company employees, and no heavy artillery was erected.

Liu Hong gradually worried that the movements of the Beiyang Naval Division would be detected by the Dutch, after all, although there were not many people in Penghu City, it was very mixed, and if the Dutch learned the exact news and sent more people to garrison it, it would be difficult to attack the city again.

The continuous bombardment of the city by the battleship was just a trick for Liu Hongchuan, and if he wanted to rely on artillery to collapse the castle of Europa, it was estimated that it would be useless if the shells on the battleship ran out.

The real highlight is the one-armed general Qin Gongming's white pole soldiers, although due to the popularity of muskets, some soldiers of the white pole corps replaced their weapons with muskets, but the white pole soldiers themselves are mountain legions, and most of the soldiers still maintain the original weapons and equipment, a white-pole spear, and each soldier is equipped with a short handgun and two grenades.

Due to the fog at dawn, the landing process of the white pole soldiers did not encounter any resistance at all, even so, Qin Zuoming still did not dare to waste time.

After the first six troop carriers were assembled on the beach, and after leaving his deputy to continue to assist the follow-up warships to land, Qin Zuoming personally rushed to the city with three thousand white-pole soldiers.

The city wall of Puluo Minsha is more than three feet high, and more than 300 Dutch soldiers rushed to the city wall when they heard the news, which is almost equivalent to half of the guarding force of Puluomin Sha City.

It was because of his overconfidence in the Geranza line that Ovat did not waste too many troops in the city of Prominza.

They were shocked to see the Ming Sailor descend from heaven to the city of Puruminsha, who had never encountered an enemy since the day it was founded.

The artillery fire in the south of the city was continuous, and an unknown number of infantry troops rushed to the west of the city, and the Dutch army captain Caton saw that the enemy troops under the city were not in a hurry to attack the city, but stopped hundreds of meters below the city, and frowned for a while.

"Felix, bring someone to carry the weapons sent by Governor Owat, hurry!" Captain Caton lowered his binoculars and said loudly.

There were at least two or three thousand people under the city, and they would certainly not be resting when they stopped, most of them were preparing siege equipment.

No one knows better than him how many guards there are in the city, and the most serious problem is that although there are cannons in the city, there is no artillery, and the governor of Ovat has not deployed valuable artillery troops on the city at all.

Three hundred men defended three thousand, even if it was protected by a city wall, it was basically impossible to hold it, the defensive line was too long, only God knew that the enemy would attack from that side.

Fortunately, two months ago, Major Damm had applied for a batch of newly developed firearms from Governor Owat, which made Captain Caton feel somewhat confident.

Qin Gongming under the city is also aiming at the ordinary people to cover the city, and the three thousand people will be divided into one hundred teams according to the plan formulated in advance, and each team of thirty people will climb the city wall in various places, except for the soldiers who climb the rock, the rest of the soldiers will cover.

There is only one mission, climb to the top of the city to control the city walls, and then open the city gates.

"Charge!" Seeing that his subordinates were ready, Qin Zuoming roared, and a hundred squads rushed to the city wall of Puluo Minsha with assembled white poles and long ladders.

Rows of white poles clattered against the wall, then two people escalated, one began to climb, and the remaining twenty or so people shot freely at the wall with short guns as cover.

There are not many defenders in the city, and it is estimated that the city will change hands in a quarter of an hour at most, Qin Zuoming clenched his fists and said secretly in his heart.

Boom - Boom Boom -

At this moment, a burst of explosions sounded under the city wall ahead, and an accident happened.

"This ...... It's a grenade! Qin Zuoming gritted his steel teeth, and his brows furrowed instantly.
