He Bin made a plan to pass through Luermen, and he also told Zheng Chenggong that he had his internal response in Chihkan City. When Zheng Jiajun attacked Chihkan City through Luermen, He Bin's inner should have opened the city gate and put Zheng Jiajun inside.

On the 23rd day of the second lunar month, Zheng Chenggong ordered Zhou Quanbin, He Yi, Chen Bang, Ma Xin, Yang Zu, Xiao Gongchen, Huang Zhao, Chen Ze, Wu Hao, Zhang Zhi, Lin Fu, Luo Yunzhang and other generals to lead an army of 11,000 men and horses, and all the attacking personnel moved to Kinmen Island to make final preparations on Kinmen Island.

The Nanyang Navy led by Wang Xinyu was a right-wing force that was responsible for destroying the Dutch fleet stationed in Taiwan and blocking the main fleet of the Dutch East India Company, which might be reinforced from Java Island. Wang Xinyu's fleet dispatched three Warrior-class fourth-class cruisers, three Brave fifth-class cruisers, and eight Cormorant-class sixth-class ships, as well as a fast fleet of six Centipede clippers, carrying 12 fast sampans, 130 sailors and special combat personnel, 24 British sailors who were familiar with Western-style soft sailing ships, and 72 Chinese sailors.

At that time, the clipper team will quietly arrive at the south port at night and anchor, put down the boat, take advantage of the cover of night to row into the harbor, stop the ship 200 meters away from the Dutch ship, and let the special combat team dive over first and climb onto the Dutch ship. After controlling the big ship of the Dutch, give a signal for the small boat to row over and get on the big boat, put the sailors on board, and then drive away the big ship.

In fact, with four big ships, Wang Xinyu can completely ignore the naval special combat team, but on the one hand, it is out of his liking for Western-style ships, just like knights love war horses, as a general who takes the route of a maritime power, he has infinite love for ships; Another reason was to train his special combat team and conduct a rehearsal training for Batavia, which would later seize the island of Java. Because within half a year, Wang Xinyu will declare a full-scale war on the Netherlands. After Zheng Chenggong landed in Taiwan, Wang Xinyu would take the fleet with him. Expedition to the island of Java to annihilate the Dutch fleet in the port of Batavia, then establish a stronghold in Singapore and seize the southernmost port of the Malay Peninsula in order to obtain the materials to build battleships.

Originally, according to He Bin's suggestion, the vanguard did not need to carry too much food, because it only took two days to reach Dongfan Island. But Wang Xinyu suggested a commission. Zheng Jiajun has many small boats, claiming that if he encounters wind and waves at sea and is blocked on Penghu Island, he will consume more food.

Zheng Chenggong felt that Wang Xinyu's words were very reasonable, so he prepared more food.

On the 23rd day of the third lunar month in 1661 and the 21st day of the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar, Zheng Chenggong's army, which had been fully prepared for a month, set out from Liaoluo Bay. The huge fleet rode the wind and waves and sailed towards the Penghu Islands.

The fleet arrived at Penghu on 22 April, and the original plan was to depart from Penghu on 25 April and pass through Luermen on 26 April, but because of the strong wind and waves for several consecutive days, Zheng Jiajun was trapped on Penghu Island.

"Fortunately, we followed the advice of our nephew and prepared enough food, otherwise our army would have been hungry for a few days!" Zheng Chenggong exclaimed.

For several days in a row. The wind and waves are very strong, and it was Zheng Chenggong who originally wanted to catch the tide in history. On the night of 30 April, he braved the wind and waves to cross the sea overnight, and on 1 May entered the inland sea of the Taiwan River to launch a campaign to recover Taiwan. Now that there is enough food, Wang Xinyu proposed that the clipper team that transports the special combat team and sailors cannot withstand the wind and waves, so it can only sail when the wind and waves are calm. And in another half a month, there will be a moon in the sky, which is also conducive to the night sneak attack operation of the special combat team. Therefore, Wang Xinyu suggested that Zheng Chenggong stay in Penghu for half a month and set off on the evening of May 13.

Zheng Chenggong agreed to Wang Xinyu's proposal and agreed to live in Penghu for half a month before launching an operation.

Half a month has passed. The weather is gradually getting hotter, and the originally choppy Taiwan Strait has gradually become calm with the arrival of summer. In summer, the sea is calm as long as there are no typhoons.

At noon on May 13, the 15th day of the fourth lunar month, Wang Xinyu's own fleet set off first and began the operation of seizing ships.

In the summer of the Taiwan Strait, the wind and waves are calm, fourteen large ships and six clippers sail on the sea, after an afternoon of sailing, after dark, the fleet has sailed more than half of the distance, in the middle of the night can reach Nanbokou.

The fiery sunset sets from the sea and sky in the west, and the brilliant golden light of the waves on the sea gradually dims, and when the night is shrouded in the sea, a full moon rises from the eastern sky, casting a layer of silver light on the sea.

Wang Xinyu left the flagship Drake and personally boarded a centipede clipper to prepare to direct the attack.

"Get ready to paddle!" Wang Xinyu gave the order.

The oarsmen in the oars shook the oars, and the clipper began to accelerate, and with the combined force of the wind and the oars, the fast boat soon reached a high speed of eleven knots, leaving the big ships that had only six or seven knots of speed far behind.

After the clippers and the fleet separated, the oarsmen rowed the clippers hard and rowed towards the coastline of Taiwan.

At half past nine o'clock in the evening, a large area of dark coastline appeared in front of the Clippers.

"It's almost there! The fleet all stopped advancing! Wang Xinyu asked people to pass the order.

The Clippers anchored in the sea three nautical miles from the South Dock. Although there was a full moon in the sky, because the target of the clipper was very small and there was no searchlight back then, the Dutch in Nanbokou did not notice the Ming clipper fleet that was quietly approaching. Like the Orientals of those days, the Dutch went to bed early. By this time, most of the Dutch were already asleep.

On the six Ccentipede clippers, the broadside gun emplacements have been removed, and each ship carries two small sampans.

Wang Xinyu explained to Emperor Hu De, who led the team to carry out the mission: "Your naval special combat team has also undergone almost a month of training to seize ships!" In today's actions, you can only succeed and not fail! Alright, I'm done talking, let's go! ”

The sailors on the clipper cranked the hand-cranked crane and lowered the dinghy into the sea.

Hu Dedi boarded the boat with the special combat team members and the sailors who were about to sail the boat.

The moonlit sea is rippling with microwaves, and it looks very calm. The boat rowed away from the silver waves and slowly rowed towards the Dutch harbor. This naval special operations team is far beyond the army of this era, and the people of that era would not have considered that there would be people who would enter their harbor at night and sneak attack and seize ships.

Twelve small boats painted in black quietly rowed into the harbor, and the special operators and sailors on board were all dressed in black, in the night when visibility was low, despite the moon in the sky. It is also difficult to spot small boats in the distant sea.

With the help of moonlight illumination, Hood Didi faintly saw the massive silhouette of the Hetok moored at the dock. The largest Dutch battleship was exactly what he was aiming for.

Because there was moonlight in the sky, the visibility was much better than usual at night, so Hood had the boat anchored three hundred meters away from the Dutchman's big ship.

Hu Dedi was the first to jump into the water, and the naval special operators behind jumped into the water one by one. Swimming almost silently towards the Dutch boat in the breaststroke position. When he was still fifty or sixty meters away from the Dutch ship, Hood took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam towards the Hector.

Swimming to the side of the Hector, Hood emerged from the water. As usual with his usual training on Kinmen Island, he swam to the bow of the boat, grabbed the anchor chain and climbed up. As soon as his entire body left the water, Emperor Hood immediately performed his light skills, grabbed the anchor chain and climbed up quickly. Soon climbed onto the bow of the Hector.

Ward Dedi jumped lightly onto the deck like a light kitten, and at this time the Dutch soldiers who stayed on the ship did not notice anyone climbing onto the ship, and the two Dutch soldiers in charge of the night patrol were standing in the middle of the ship and chatting.

Hood quietly touched from behind, and suddenly came out from behind the two Dutch soldiers, grabbed the heads of the two men, and touched each other in a way that was like a hammer striking at high speed. The two heads collided together like two eggs colliding against each other. Under the influence of Emperor Hood's profound internal strength, the intracranial tissues of the two Dutch soldiers were immediately smashed into a pulp.

After killing two sentries. Hood searched around the upper deck and found a Dutch sentry on the other side. After that, no active Dutch sentinels were found. So he lowered the ladder from the ship.

The special combat team members who had been waiting in the sea for a long time climbed up the Hector through the soft ladder.

Hood and his special operators crept into the gun deck and found only about thirty Dutchmen lying on the table with their bunks. Or lay on the floor and sleep.

These more than 30 Dutchmen became hors d'oeuvres for the members of the special combat team. Hood led his team members to send the Dutchmen to God in their sleep with daggers or with their bare hands.

The Hector is an armed Galen ship with a displacement of about seven hundred tons, in terms of tonnage. It is equivalent to the standard of a third-class ship of the British, but the firepower is only equivalent to that of a fourth-class ship. According to the information, Wang Xinyu learned that there should be 341 sailors on the ship, so he dispatched a special combat team of 40 people to attack the ship.

After dealing with the Dutch in the gun deck, Hood broke into the captain's living room, located behind the gun deck, and found two officers sleeping soundly on the couch.

Emperor Hood raised his sword and fell, resulting in the two Dutch officers.

Breaking into the captain's bedroom, he found that it was empty, and the Dutch captain was missing.

The rest of the special operators passed through the heavy artillery deck and entered the sailors' quarters on the lower level, where they found that there were only about fifty Dutchmen inside, all of whom were sleeping.

The special operators began to move the sleeping Dutch to God one by one. During the operation, a Dutchman woke up from his sleep, but before he could scream, he was covered by a man next to him. The Dutchman tried desperately to shout, but couldn't, and then his neck was broken.

It went smoothly from beginning to end, but in less than half an hour, all the Dutch on the Hector were cleared, and the special operators eliminated more than 90 Dutchmen in total.

Hood walked inside the artillery deck, opened a gun door, and a lantern covered with a red cloth signaled.

The two dinghys moored in the sea quickly rowed over and landed on the Hector. The British and Chinese sailors in the dinghy climbed the Hector up the soft ladder.

The attack on the three Dutch warships Emmen, the Hunter and the Voss was also very successful, with only 50 to 80 people left on each Dutch ship, and the rest of the Dutch sleeping on the shore. Soon, the special operators took control of the four large Dutch ships.

The sailors climbed aboard the Dutch ship and began to get busy.

The anchor chain was pulled up, the sails were slowly raised, and the cables were cut. However, the special operators opened the gun door facing the shore and began to load the cannon with gunpowder and shotguns.

On the shore, in the Dutch barracks, a Dutch soldier who got up in the middle of the night to relieve himself suddenly found that the ship moored on the pier actually raised its sails! The Dutch soldier was shocked and immediately ran back to the barracks.

After a while, the shrill sound of the siren pierced the quiet moonlit night, and the whistle rang out in the Dutch barracks, and all the Dutchmen were awakened, and they got up from their beds, hurriedly put on their clothes, grabbed their swords, spears, and muskets, rushed out of the barracks, shouting, and rushed towards the ships that were about to start.

"My ship! My boat! The Dutchman screamed at the speed of the 100-meter sprint.

The Dutchman shouted and was about to rush to the ship, but suddenly he saw a flash of fire in the open gun door of the Hector.

"Damn it!" A Dutch soldier shouted.

The deafening sound of cannon fire reached into the sky, and the shotgun fired from the cannon drilled into the crowd of the Dutch, setting up a blinding mist of blood, and a large area of the Dutch screamed and fell in a pool of blood.

The harbor in Nanbokou was like a hornet's nest that had been poked by a bamboo pole, and all the Dutch barracks suddenly boiled. Hordes of Dutch soldiers haphazardly dressed and took up their weapons and rushed out of the barracks and headed straight for their own ships. But they were greeted by rows of shrapnel like a torrential rain.

Flesh and blood flew on the docks, screams rang out, and the Dutch, who were crowded together, suffered heavy casualties.

Several Dutchmen, who had escaped the artillery bombardment, got up from the ground, shouted, and rushed towards the boat that was about to leave the dock. At this time, rows of guns stretched out from the ship, aimed at the Dutch, the fire flickered, the white smoke filled, and the dense bullets all the Dutch soldiers were beaten into a hornet's nest.

The commander of the Dutch Navy, Admiral Van der Lang, rushed out of his bedroom, and in the darkness he could not see what was going on, only the Dutch were running around.

"Don't mess around! Retake our ship! Fan Delang shouted.

The Dutch organized their forces and launched a final assault on the ships that were about to set sail, but were beaten back by heavy fire from the ships. After that, they could only watch as their big ships left the dock one by one and sailed into the depths of the sea.

"Damn! Who attacked our ship? Van der Lang asked as he pulled a Dutch soldier over the way.

The Dutch soldier stared blankly and shook his head, indicating that he had no idea.

"It must be the Zheng pirates! I can assure you that they did it! Fan Delang scolded. (To be continued......)
