"The fortification of the city of Relanza is also located on a narrow Dayuan Island, and the troops cannot be used at all, if you want to attack it, not to mention it for a long time, your subordinates will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

However, the grass people have a plan, which can allow the grandfather of the country to reduce the loss and quickly take the city of Geranza. ”

He Bin said with his eyes rolling and looked at Chen Yue eagerly.

"As long as you can help our army defeat the city of Geranza, the land wealth you have now will not be moved by our army, and I promise you a seven-grade future." Chen Yue knew that he wanted his own promise, so he said.

"Grandpa Xie Guo!" He Bin was overjoyed, he didn't care if he was an official or not, if he returned to Zheng Zhilong's hands, it would not be a problem to be a guerrilla of a thousand households or something. What really makes him unable to let go is the land wealth he has now, and with Chen Yue's promise, everything he has now has been guaranteed. And with this relationship with Qi Guogong, basically no one will dare to provoke this Dongfan Island in the future!

"The Dutch have 1,200 soldiers in the army, and of course the army led by the governor Caron was defeated by you, and now there are more than 400 troops on the island. However, in addition to the soldiers, the Dutch also had more than 2,000 family craftsmen.

The castle of Gerancha is narrow and inconvenient to live, most of the Dutch family craftsmen live on the mainland on the east side of the Taijiang River, there is a street called "Provencha Street", which is a Dutch settlement, and the city of Rechalan stands east and west, but Provencha Street is only a street, and the Dutch did not build a castle there, and there are not many defenses.

Grandpa Guo, you led the army to attack suddenly, and there were not many clues in advance, and the Dutch and even the entire Dayuan region did not think of it in advance. Even if the Governor Caron is defeated and you bombard the city of Gelanza, the Dutch do not think that you can easily break through to the Taijiang River. So before we came to negotiate, most of the Dutch still lived in Provencha Street, and not many of them took refuge in the city of Geranza. Of course, their reluctance to make a fortune on the streets of Provencha was also a reason why they did not hide in the city of Geranza.

After entering the Taijiang Inland Sea from the Luermen Sea Road at night, you can order a large army to land at Heliao Harbor, and at the same time send an army to land at the junction between Dayuan Island and the mainland, cutting off the retreat of the Dutch. As long as the Dutch on Provencha Street can be captured, it is the families of the Dutch soldiers, and the city of Geranza will be destroyed! ”

He Bin's tone was cold, kidnapping the Dutch family to coerce the Dutch soldiers to surrender, this is a desperate plan he suddenly came up with, although it is too insidious and shameless, but for the sake of his own wealth and life, he can't care much more!

After He Bin finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other, the strategy was a good strategy, but it was too despicable and insidious.

"Guogong, this is a bit too shameless. Our Zhoushan Army is a benevolent and righteous army, and it ...... do such a thing," Yang Zhengping hesitated.

"My subordinates think it's okay, who should be divided into benevolence and righteousness, and our benevolence and righteousness are for my people. The red-haired ghost came to Daming from thousands of miles away, plundered my merchant ships, enslaved my people, why should he bind himself with benevolence and righteousness to them! The overseer He Lu said disapprovingly.

Yang Zhengping is just too positive, Chen Yue sighed in his heart. Capturing Dutch civilians and coercing the Dutch defenders of Geranza to surrender, as long as they can reduce the casualties of their subordinates, as long as they can quickly capture Geranza and completely control Dongfan Island, such a thing is not psychologically burdensome for Chen Yue.

"Just do what He Bin suggested, take advantage of the tide to pass through Luermen Port tonight, land from Heliao Port, and arrest all the Dutchmen on Provencha Street!" Chen Yue said resolutely.

Chen Yue made up his mind, and the others had nothing to say.

Next, start deliberating on your plan of action. Because I don't know if I can quickly take down the city of Relanza, after entering the Taijiang Inland Sea, the Luermen Sea Road is the only passage connecting the inside and outside, so we must send troops to garrison it.

The landing site must also be considered in detail, taking into account the depth of the water level, and whether it is suitable for large ships to dock. However, with He Bin, who is familiar with the inland waters of the Taijiang River, all this is not a problem.

According to He Bin, the water level in Heliao Port is not deep, and small boats can dock from the harbor, but large ships such as three-masted galleons and Galen ships cannot, so the soldiers on board have to turn from large ships to small boats, and then go ashore from Heliao. However, at the junction between Dayuan Island and the mainland, there is no port at all, and slightly larger ships will run aground, so they can only take small boats to go over, and then wade ashore in the sea. The three-masted sea ship and the Galen ship each have several small boats for escape, but there is no shortage of small boats.

There were a total of 8,000 soldiers who followed Chen Yue on the expedition, and 1,000 stayed in Beigang to assist Gu Junen in controlling Beigang. There were 7,000 soldiers who came with him, most of whom were recruits who had just been recruited for half a year and did not have much combat experience, which was another reason why Chen Yue decided to adopt He Bin's strategy. Because if he really wanted to storm the castle of Reshalan, don't look at the fact that the Dutch only had 400 troops, and his 7,000 soldiers might not be able to take it down.

Chen Yue decided that Jin Xin would lead more than 1,000 men and more than 20 two-masted and single-masted ships to guard the Luermen Seaway, and at the same time occupy the land on the north side of the seaway while holding the retreat of the army.

On Dongfan Island, there are not only the Dutch, but also many aboriginal villages, as well as Ming villages that migrated from Fujian and Guangdong. There are about 20,000 Ming people on the entire Dongfan Island (more than 100,000 mentioned above is a bit much, which does not correspond to the actual situation), and the aborigines cannot be counted, because many people are scattered all over the island, on the plains, and in the mountains, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least 100,000 people.

Considering the history of Zheng Chenggong's attack on the Dutch in another time and space, Chen Yue had to make the worst plan, that is, he would not be able to capture the city of Geranza for a long time, in which case the supplies carried by the army would become a problem, so he had to obtain the support of the Ming people and even the aborigines on Dongfan Island.

While Jin Xin held the Luermen Sea Road, he also had to occupy the nearby Ming and aboriginal villages and establish his rule over these places.

After Chen Yue decided to enter the inland sea of the Taijiang River, Li Yi took a thousand people to land in a small boat from the junction of Dayuan Island and the mainland, and set up a blocking position, one is to cut off the retreat of Dutch civilians fleeing to the castle of Geranza, and the other is to prevent the castle from sending troops to rescue.

Chen Yue himself led an army of 3,000 to land at Heliao Harbor and attack Provencha Street, where the Dutch lived. Yang Zhengping took 2,000 people on a big ship, and while dealing with the only two remaining warships of the Dutch, he bombarded Reshalan City from the inside of the Taijiang River to put pressure on Relanza Castle!

One order after another was issued, and the generals received their own orders and made preparations before the expedition, except for the soldiers on guard, most of the soldiers lay in the cabin to rest, waiting for the upcoming battle.

Everything is ready and just waiting for the tide at night. ()
