Yang Feng was furious at the tent, but more than 20 people including Ankos who went back were greeted like heroes.

"You are heroes, heroes of the Kingdom of the Netherlands!"

In front of the dilapidated governor's residence, Sonod personally greeted them with the officers and soldiers of the city of Geranza and their families.

For the families, women and children of the city of Geranza, Ankos and others are a group of out-and-out warriors and heroes, who have given their lives and blood for more than 2,000 people in the city of Geranza, and are people worthy of their admiration.

Looking at the warm smiles and hot eyes of the girls and ladies in the welcoming procession, although Onkos and the others were still sad and sad for their comrades who had died in battle last night, an indescribable pride and ecstasy still welled up in their hearts, according to the previous promise of His Excellency the Governor, each of them would receive enough money to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

Onkos saluted Sonod and said loudly: "Your Excellency the Governor, Captain Onkos reports to you that we have completed the mission of attacking out of the city, and now we are back, please instruct!" ”

"Good!"

Sonord laughed.

"You're doing a great job, and I'm proud of you! Of course, the promised bounty will be delivered to you soon, so go down and rest for now. ”

"Understood!"

The remaining twenty or so went down to rest, but Encos, as the commander, still had to report to Sonod on the situation of last night's battle.

In some of the dilapidated offices, Sonod sat behind a desk with a corner missing, and in front of him sat Onkos.

At this time, Sonord's face was very calm, and the elated expression just now seemed as if it had never appeared on his face.

"How many guns did you blow up last night?"

"There were nine of them, eight of them twelve-pounder and one of twenty-four-pounder." Uncos replied honestly.

"Only nine guns?"

Sonord's thick brow furrowed.

"According to the intelligence we have observed, the Ming people have at least more than two hundred artillery pieces, and you only blew up nine, such a loss is nothing to the Ming people."

"But we've done our best, Your Excellency." "Last night, it was very smooth at first, but then when the Ming people reported it, they quickly outflanked us, and they seem to have a strange device that doesn't seem to use fire to light the night light, but it only illuminates the whole camp in an instant. Although our soldiers fought very bravely, after being exposed to the light, the Ming people quickly outflanked us, and our casualties increased rapidly, and finally I had to give the order to retreat. ”

Looking at Onkos, who was busy explaining, Sonord was still a little dissatisfied.

This is not to blame Oncos for being greedy for life and afraid of death, in fact, Sonod also knows that Oncos has done his best, one hundred and fifty people attacked, and only more than twenty people came back, which is enough to prove the fierceness of the battle, but the results achieved did not meet his expectations, which is the reason for his disappointment.

Looking at the silent Sonord, Onkos also sighed in his heart, last night's surprise attack failed to achieve the expected effect, and he was the most disappointed.

In fact, whether it was Sonord or Onkos, the original expectation was to blow up all the artillery of the Ming army, so that the city of Geranza could hold out for at least three to four more months, even if it could not be blown up, it was good to be able to blow up half of the artillery, but now it seems that they are still too optimistic.

Although there was some regret in his heart, Ang Kesi still comforted: "But you don't have to worry too much, although we only destroyed nine artillery pieces of the Ming people, but after such a trouble, at least we don't have to worry about being shelled by the Ming people in the past few days." Besides, we can still surprise them again in two days. ”

"It's useless!"

Sonord sighed softly.

"After suffering this loss, the people of the Ming Kingdom will not give us another chance."

Angkos didn't speak, he also knew that what he had just said was just a beautiful comfort lie, if the Ming people could be successfully attacked by them again after suffering this loss, their commander should also commit suicide.

Sonod looked at Onkos and said solemnly: "Onkos, although your surprise attack last night failed to achieve the original goal, I still want to praise your actions, in recognition of your appreciation, I have decided to restore your rank, congratulations, Major Onkos!" ”

"Your Excellency Governor!"

Onkos saluted him, but there was no expression of joy on his face.

"Alright, you go down."

"Yes!"

Looking at the departing Onkos, Sonod, who was sitting behind his desk, was silent for a long time......

Oncos and Sonord were still wrong, and less than half an hour after Oncos left, bursts of artillery fire rang out again.

The retaliation of the Ming army came so quickly that the Dutch were a little caught off guard, and the enraged Yang Feng mobilized all the artillery fire to the east, and carried out a concentrated artillery bombardment of the eastern city wall, under the concentrated bombardment of nearly three hundred artillery pieces, the eastern defense line immediately became precarious, and the originally solid wall began to slowly appear scars and cracks, and even began to be damaged in some places.

Seeing this situation, Sonord was also anxious, and immediately organized manpower to urgently repair the damaged city wall, and Yang Feng, who could see clearly with a drone, immediately ordered the artillery battalion to shoot the personnel with flowering shells, and the casualties of the Dutch army began to rise sharply.

On the third day of the battle, the second line of defense of the city has become crumbling, under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of artillery, the east gate wall of the second line of defense has been damaged in many places, and the Ming army has also increased the attack on the east gate.

On the morning of the fourth day, when the Ming army shelled the east gate as usual, the already dilapidated east gate city wall finally collapsed, revealing a gap more than 50 meters long.

But strangely, when they rushed up the wall, they were surprised to find that there was not a single defender on the wall, and the Dutch let them easily occupy the east wall.

"Master Hou, we have occupied the eastern city wall, and the city of Gelansha has been taken down by us." Seeing the fall of the eastern city wall, the Jiangning army was full of joy and thunder, but Yang Feng and some officers were a little puzzled, it stands to reason that it was already the last line of defense of the Dutch, and they had no reason to give up so easily.

"Master Hou, the red-haired devil has sent someone."

At this time, someone came to report again.
