Chapter 720: Geranza City

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

The explosions under the city were everywhere, and the soldiers on the escalators under the city bore the brunt of the bombardment and fell to the ground, and the white pole soldiers who were climbing fell from the air wailing because they lost the support of their robes.

"Lord General, Dutch Army...... There are grenades! The commander of the front-line supervision team rushed to report to Qin Gongming.

"Got it, continue to siege the city, those who retreat, slash!" Qin Gongming did not hesitate at all, and said word by word.

Now the situation of the Beiyang Naval Division in the Taijiang Inland Sea is more urgent than theirs, and if they cannot quickly capture the Puluominsha, the Beiyang Naval Division is very likely to face the test of life and death.

Ovat of Geransha City will not sit idly by and watch the loss of Prominsha City, and now Qin Gongming is like racing with the Dutch army in Geranza City and gambling with the Dutch army in Prominsha City.

If the Prominsha cannot be captured before the reinforcements of Gelanza arrive, then he Qin Gongming is the sinner of the Beiyang Naval Division and the sinner of the king of Anguo County.

Although the Dutch country developed a grenade that was beyond Qin Gongming's expectations, he figured it out after thinking about it.

The steps of making a grenade are not complicated, and the key is nothing more than the problem of the fuse, if someone has a heart to get it, it does not take long to replicate it with the power of a country.

There are many small countries in Europa, and I heard that most of the kings of these small countries are still related to each other, and the secret of the grenade is likely to be transmitted from the Rakshasa country.

Qin Gongming didn't think about fighting back with a grenade, but it was not easy to throw a three-pound grenade to the city, and it was very likely to be thrown down by the people in the city.

The grenadier can be thrown up, but the attack is in a hurry, and there is no time to assemble it, so let's storm it, there are not many Dutch troops in the city, Qin Gongming has made up his mind.

The white pole soldier is worthy of being the soul of the Sichuan army, and the explosions around him are everywhere, and he still holds his head with a wrist shield and climbs up.

The Dutch soldiers at the head of the city threw grenades as if they didn't want money, and the white-pole soldiers who were forced to be anxious spat out swear words and picked up the grenades that were still smoking and threw them where no one was.

Not to mention, because the accuracy of the grenade fuse at this time was not very good, the fuse would be extended for the safety of the soldiers when it was manufactured, and many grenades were thrown out by the white pole soldiers and released empty cannons.

Of course, there are also white pole soldiers who died because of this fateful act, but this only aroused the fighting spirit of the white pole soldiers even more.

The white pole soldiers under the city did not want to die, and the Dutch soldiers in the city had to be forced to delay the delivery of the grenade, and after pulling the fuse, they could only hold the grenade in their hands and pinch the time, which required courage.

"Captain, you're running out of grenades!" Felix trotted to Captain Caton to report.

"Have all the people in the city withdrawn?" Caton ignored Felix, but Collin, his deputy, with a gloomy face.

"The company's employees and their relatives have been evacuated, but ...... There are also some merchants who want to die, and they want to take the goods with them. Colin had just come from the city and said angrily.

The soldiers desperately covered their retreat, and these merchants were simply too much.

"Captain Caton, the enemy has attacked the city, and we can't resist it!" At this moment, a wounded Dutch soldier came running from the west of the city.

"I can't care so much, order the soldiers in the city to retreat as soon as the grenades are consumed, we won't pay for the goods of those merchants!" Captain Caton snapped.

……

Half a quarter of an hour later, the western city of Puluo changed hands, and after paying more than 800 casualties, the white pole soldiers finally opened the western gate.

"Mourning Rong, Liang Hengtai, Dou Qi, Benguan Minger and others each led a thousand people to block the remaining three city gates, don't let the outsiders in the city run away! The rest of the people will follow me to the shallows of the inland sea to cover the shores of the sailors! ”

Qin Gongming didn't have time to purge the Dutch in the city, and immediately led thousands of newly assembled white pole soldiers to the south of the city.

However, during the entire landing process, there were no reinforcements from the city of Geranza to support, and the Beiyang Navy Division set foot on the main island of Ryukyu almost without danger.

"This king's ear! It's going to be deafening in a while! As soon as Liu Hong stepped on this land, he complained constantly, but in fact, his heart was not beautiful.

He was not like those officials in the imperial court, who thought that Ryukyu was dispensable, and in the grand plan of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the sea, Ryukyu was an extremely important link, occupying Ryukyu could not only choke the shipping route from South Asia to Japan, but also serve as a trade transit station, and Ryukyu was really a treasure of feng shui in the eyes of Liu Hongji.

"Lord, it is not enough to take the city of Prominza, the city of Geranza is the military fortress of the Dutch, and the Dutch governor Ovat lives there!" He Bin walked up to Liu Hongjian and whispered.

"We've even knocked down the city of Puruminsha, so what's the difficulty of building a broken castle built on a sandbar?" Before Liu Hongjian could speak, Qin Gongming's mourning behind him was babbling.

Although the city of Promin Sha experienced a short period of resistance, this level of siege warfare was really not worth mentioning for the white pole soldiers who often fought vicious battles and hard battles.

"This general, the city of Geranza is not a ...... of the common people."

"I'm sorry, we inquired just now, what is the Puluo Minsha, this city should be called the Red Embedded City!" Before He Bin could finish speaking, Xing Mourning Rong interrupted his words.

The history of Puluo City is only 20 years, but the city of Chi is hundreds of years, and there are many Han people in the city, and now that the Ryukyus have recovered, it is natural to return to the original title of the Han people.

"Yes, yes, the general's lesson is that if you want to use artillery or crowd tactics to defeat Geranza, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!" Although He Bin was full of running trains, he didn't dare to be sloppy at the key points.

Because he found that if the Ming army suffered losses because he didn't tell the truth, the young Ming prince in front of him would be the first to sacrifice him.

He knew that he would have to take such a big risk to save his family, and he would not wade into this troubled water if he was blinded by lard.

After all, with the oil and water that he has shaved from the Dutch in the past 20 years, it is not too easy to marry a few more wives and concubines.

The city of Geranza was built on a sandbank, and it was a fortification that the Dutch governors of the Ryukyus had made great efforts to supervise.

This improvement makes it possible to attack any point in the castle exposing the attacker to more than one bastion surface, and the defender can use crossfire to perform multiple strikes.

Geranza did not stop there, several large batteries were built around the castle, blocking the entire Great Harbour Passage in it.

He Bin knew this very well, and in his opinion, unless the Dutch took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, it would be basically impossible to lay down this fortress with the 10,000 Ming army brought by Qin Gongming.

As for the naval fleet, it is even worse, and entering the Dagang channel is to send people to their heads.

"General Qin, send someone to closely monitor the Dutch in the city of Geranza, and the rest of the soldiers will bury the pot and cook on the spot, and then talk about it when they are full!" Liu Hongjian did not listen to He Bin's words, and waved his hand to enter the city.

Yesterday there was a storm, and all the soldiers only rested for a few hours, and in the early morning they were about to set sail for the Ryukyus in the dark, which was a fierce battle for a long time, not to mention the soldiers, he himself was a little unbearable.

As for Geranza, the island has been defeated, are you afraid that you won't be able to take a small sandbar city?

There was a riot in the city for several hours, and in the afternoon, Liu Hongjian interrogated several Dutch merchants captured in the city, and sent sailors to carry out a tentative attack on Geranza.

However, it is true that He Bin said, before the battleship entered the Dagang channel, it was beaten back by the Dutch batteries on both sides, thanks to the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division were equipped with steel armor, Rao is so when Liu Hong gradually saw the battleship that was bombarded by shells, he still frowned.

The range of the Dutch's artillery was not shorter than that of the new artillery of the Beiyang Naval Division, which made Liu Hong gradually feel a deep headache.

As for the fact that the Dutch developed a grenade, it did not surprise Liu Hongjian at all, Jinyiwei had news more than half a year ago that the Rakshasa country had experienced a fiasco on Lake Baikal, and it took only three months to develop a grenade when he returned, and it was soon used in the battle with the countries of Europa, and it was not difficult for the Dutch to come out with a grenade as a strong country in Europa.

It was necessary to take Geranza, and only when he captured alive the governor of Rauszi in the city, he was considered to have a little bottom of his mind when he went to Sulu.

Let him fill in with the lives of his soldiers, he can't do this, let alone attack it, and he may not be able to capture it even if he attacks it.

But how do you attack it? Liu Hong gradually sat in the spacious meeting hall of the city of Pu Min and began to use his brain.
