As the base camp of the Dutch in Taiwan, the importance of the city of Geranza is naturally self-evident.

It consists of several forts of various shapes, namely the Dutch Castle of Dia, the Governor's Office, the Castle of Philissingen, the Half-Moon Castle, the Fort of Hedelland, the Fort Annarington, the Fort of Mitt, and the Fort of Gandffey.

As the first barrier to the sea defense, there are two fortresses and a half-moon fort, which are built very strongly, and when Yang Feng looked at the city of Relan with a telescope in the port, his brows couldn't help but jump a few times.

The perimeter of the castle was dug by the Dutch with a deep trench, in addition to the moat surrounding, the castle perimeter was also based on a sloped earthen embankment, all of which were made of red bricks, and the forts, shooting holes and hiding holes were faintly visible on the outer city walls.

After reading it, not only Yang Feng, but even Liu Xiang, Lu Guangbiao and other naval officers who were not good at land warfare couldn't help but gasp.

Lu Guangbiao, who was on another third-class battleship not far from the Zhenyuan, plucked his teeth and said to Geng Bingyi, the guerrilla general of the first battalion of the Jiangning Army at the time, with a solemn expression: "Although this officer is not good at land warfare, he can also see that these red-haired devils have simply played the castle with flowers. To put it mildly, if you really want to launch a strong attack on the red-haired devil, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will not be able to take this castle. ”

Geng Bingyi also frowned, he shook his head and said cautiously: "This kind of thing is not certain, it is said that Xia Guan has fought a lot of battles with Hou Ye over the years, and has fought a lot of big battles with the Manchu Tartars in Jinzhou, Shengjing and other places, but he has never seen such an evil city wall, and he actually made a slope outside the city wall, which is troublesome." ”

On the Zhenyuan, Liu Xiang looked at the city wall but was very puzzled, and asked Yang Feng who was standing next to her: "Master Hou, why are the city walls of our Ming Dynasty high and straight, but the city wall of the red-haired devil has this slope, isn't it convenient for us to climb up the slope to attack the city?" ”

Yang Feng shook his head: "Otherwise, this is the difference between our Daming and the Dutch." In the past, almost all of the cold weapons used in our wars were spears and knives, but now that Obaro is fighting, firearms have become the mainstream, so the difference in combat weapons will inevitably lead to changes in combat methods. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Feng saw that Liu Xiang still looked puzzled, so he patiently explained: "Let's see if the Dutch have built many prismatic fortresses outside the castle, and those protruding fortresses are the shooting holes of firearms.

These protruding holes were for the musketeers to fire, and imagine what the Dutch would have done when our soldiers had painstakingly prepared to climb the slopes. ”

was reminded by Yang Feng like this, and the ideal woke up.

Although what she is best at is naval warfare, as the saying goes, everything is reasonable, and she figured it out after a little thought, and the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

These protruding bastions were so wide that the Dutch could shoot at the besieging enemy from almost 180 degrees at any angle as long as there was a siege.

She could even imagine that once the Jiangning army attacked the city, those Jiangning troops who were exposed to the shooting range of the Dutch were still struggling to climb on those slippery slopes, but the Dutch could shoot at the Jiangning army sergeants with the firearms in their hands like wild ducks, this was no longer a war, this was a massacre!

"Master Hou, that ...... So what should we do? ”

Liu Xiang, who once crisscrossed the sea, even if she was not afraid of the Zheng Zhilong brothers, who were in Shanghai, was also worried this time, this time she could already imagine the scene of countless soldiers of the Jiangning Army braving the artillery and lead bullets of the Dutch to rush to the local city wall, while the Dutch squatted on the castle and calmly shot the soldiers of the Jiangning Army.

However, out of trust in Yang Feng, she still looked at the other party.

"I can't think of any good solution for the time being." Yang Feng shook his head.

"Didn't think of a good solution?" Liu Xiang's eyes widened, I didn't expect you to dare to lead a large army to attack the city of Relanza in person?

Yang Feng seemed to know what she thought, and said lightly: "That's true, but our strength is ten times that of the enemy, if we can't take the city of Relansha, this Hou Ye will be in vain." ”

Liu Xiang couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and what Yang Feng said was indeed true. The forms on the battlefield are ever-changing, and if they are new to the city, if Yang Feng has any clever plan to take the city of Relansha immediately, he is not a human but a god.

That night, Yang Feng and tens of thousands of troops rested on the battleship and did not land, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that the transport fleet and cargo ships that had been following behind arrived before the army began to disembark in the port one after another under the cover of the battleship.

The distance between the port and the city of Geranza is only a few kilometers, and the actions of the Jiangning army in the port The defenders of the city of Geranza can see clearly if they have better eyesight.

"These Ming people are too arrogant, right, do they really treat us all as dead people?" Unkos only felt a small flame burst out of his heart.

He suddenly said to Sonod, "Your Excellency, if we send five hundred musketeers to attack them while the Ming people have just disembarked from the ship, and then blow their morale, it would be better if we could take the opportunity to rush to the harbor and burn a few of their warships." ”

Sonod looked at the Ming army and auxiliaries who were busy like ants in the port, hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "As far as I know, the marquis of the Ming Kingdom is also a general with outstanding military achievements, and the risk of rashly attacking is too great, and the opponent's naval guns are not decorations, it is better to be safe." ”

Seeing that Sonod did not agree with his suggestion, Onkos sighed with some regret, but he also knew that what Sonod said was indeed reasonable, and now the population of the entire city of Geranza was only more than 2,500 people, and each of them was precious, so naturally they could not be consumed in vain.

In this way, after a whole day of busyness, 25,000 Jiangning troops went ashore one after another, and began to camp around the port under the command of officers at all levels, and more than 20,000 people were busy until the evening.

That night, the camp in Xin'anza was brightly lit, and Yang Feng convened officers of all ranks in his tent for the first military meeting after the landing.

The officers attending today's meeting included most of the middle and high-ranking generals of the Jiangning Army, including the guerrilla general Geng Bingyi of the first battalion, the guerrilla generals Chu Maoguang of the second battalion, the guerrilla generals Gou Xingma and Yan Di of the third and fourth battalions, Yang Daniu, Huang Zhenye, Qiu Disheng, and even Wu Keshan, who had just joined the army.

Yang Feng looked around and said loudly: "Everyone, we have successfully landed today, which means that most of the tasks of the sailor have been completed, and it is up to us next!"

Now, not only His Majesty is looking at us, but the officials of the imperial court are looking at us, and even the people of the Ming Dynasty are also looking at us, so we must not only win this battle, but also fight beautifully, so that everyone in the world can see that our Jiangning Army is still the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty that is invincible! Do you have faith? ”

He was answered by a chorus of cheers.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"
