"Retreat, retreat north!"

After more than half an hour, the red-haired ghost was the first to hold on, throwing down more than 200 corpses and wounded, and under the leadership of Captain Drew, more than 80 red-haired ghosts fled towards the end of the northern line.

After seeing the red-haired ghosts of more than 80 people fleeing northward, Zheng Zhibao did not dare to let people continue to pursue.

"Kill!"

Watching the comrades around them fall one by one, the Zheng family soldiers who had already been burned out by anger and hatred.

At this time, after seeing the remnants of the red-haired ghost fleeing, he vented his anger on the dozens of wounded soldiers left behind.

Poof! Poof!

These Zheng family soldiers had long forgotten the order given by Zheng Sen before the war to keep the red-haired ghost prisoners.

rushed forward one by one, ignoring the red-haired ghost soldiers, who were grunting and screaming, and under their frightened expressions, they slashed and poked the long knives and spears in their hands.

"What, more than eight hundred casualties?"

As a result, after the battle, when Zheng Zhibao heard the casualty report of his generals, he also roared angrily.

Mainly, there are more than 2,000 of them, and against 300 red-haired ghosts, after paying more than 800 casualties, they even let the other party escape more than 80 people, can this be regarded as a victory?

At this time, Zheng Zhibao's face was gloomy like dripping water, he didn't speak for a long time, and the other Zheng family generals next to him were all silent, they didn't expect such a result.

"Send someone to report our situation here to my eldest brother truthfully, and have someone remind my nephew.

Tell him that the enemy has a terrible batch of firearms that can be fired without an arquebus, and that his battle plan is about to be revised. ”

Zheng Zhibao was almost angry and vomited blood, but he didn't lose his mind, and after calming down, he said to the generals behind him.

"Others, follow me to continue to chase the fleeing red-haired ghosts, I want them to pay for their blood debts, and I will personally cut off the head of the red-haired ghosts who lead the other party."

Zheng Zhibao gritted his teeth and said.

This battle was regarded by him as a great shame, and it must be washed away with the blood of the enemy!

At the same time that Zheng Zhibao suffered a crushing victory at the end of the northern line, the battle on the sea surface of the inner harbor of Taijiang under the command of Zheng Sen was also victorious.

The red-haired ghosts tried to use fireships to block the progress of the Zheng family's fleet, but unfortunately, with the departure of the Bruce fleet, they were destined to be no match for the Zheng family's huge fleet on the sea.

Although those fireships once caused Zheng Sen a lot of trouble, Zheng Sen soon found a way to crack them.

It took more than an hour for the Zheng family fleet to completely control all the ports of the red-haired ghost in Taijiang and control the north-south shipping lane.

At this time, the red-haired ghost in the two fortified castles of Dayuan has completely become a turtle in the urn.

On the other way, two hundred red-haired ghost soldiers led by another red-haired ghost captain, Buck, were also blocked by the Zheng family army on their way to support Puchi City, so they could not successfully reach Chi City.

It's just that in order to stop the two hundred red-haired ghosts who supported Chiji City, the Zheng family army paid a bigger price than Zheng Zhibao's side at the end of the northern line.

Because, the two hundred red-haired ghost soldiers led by Buck are also equipped with flintlock pistols.

And on the Zheng family's side, a general named Zheng Cai didn't know this, and was leading a thousand people to stop this red-haired ghost.

Zheng Cai originally thought that blocking two hundred red-haired ghosts with one thousand was enough to win, although the red-haired ghosts were very strong, but they were not strong enough to defeat them in the field with a huge disparity of one to five.

As a result, this time Zheng Cai was completely blinded by the red-haired ghost with a flintlock pistol and a three-stage attack tactic, and a thousand people were finally beaten to collapse and fled.

In the end, if Shi Daxuan hadn't led the army to arrive in time, attacked the red-haired ghosts from the flank, and saved Zheng Cai, he finally defeated the two hundred red-haired ghosts, but in the end, more than 30 red-haired ghosts still escaped.

On the Zheng family's side, there were more than 600 people lost, and more importantly, this greatly hit the morale of the Zheng family's army, which was bad news for the Zheng family's army who was about to attack Chichicheng.

Soon, the second batch of landing people of the Zheng family fleet went ashore, and the Zheng family army that landed on the shore at this time had reached 7,000 people, of which 3,000 people and horses of Shi Daxuan, the pioneer, had already arrived under the Chiji City.

The red-haired ghost city defense commander in the red embedded city is difficult to describe, and at this time he is as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but in the red embedded city he is guarding at this time, the troops are too small.

There are only four hundred red-haired ghosts in the entire Red Embedded City at this time, and it is a little difficult for this soldiers and horses to defend the Red Embedded City.

He hoped that the two hundred reinforcements sent by Byron would arrive smoothly, and as long as he had six hundred men in his hands, he was confident that he could hold the city.

It's a pity that the hope that is difficult to describe will eventually turn into disappointment, and the two hundred reinforcements he has been waiting for have never arrived, but the Zheng family army has already arrived.

Compared with Chiji City, in Anping City on Governor Paul's side, the number of red-haired ghosts is relatively sufficient.

There were originally more than 1,300 people, and after sending out 500 people to block and support, there were still 800 people left in the city, which was the lowest number that Byron could accept.

And with the red-haired ghost team that went out of the city to block and support behind, they all failed and returned, once again increasing the number of troops in the city by about 100 people, reaching more than 900 people.

In the eyes of Governor Paul and Colonel Byron, with the 900 soldiers in their hands, the impregnable defense of Anping Castle was enough to resist the attack of the enemy's 10,000 people.

It's really not two red-haired devil leaders who are blindly confident, and it is.

Both of them are senior executives of the Dutch East India Company, and they have been involved in overseas colonization for more than ten years, and their analysis of the war situation is still very rational.

A castle like Anpyeong, which is more fortified than Ryukyu Tamsui Castle (San Domingo Castle), is a typical European-style fortress.

In the case of the red-haired ghosts, who are equipped with flintlock pistols and have sufficient ammunition and manpower, the number of enemies no longer means much to them.

In particular, these enemies are basically considered armies of the Cold Weapon Era, so they are even less threatening.

If this is replaced by the army during World War II, shelling, explosives explosion, maybe it can also storm Anping Castle.

But in this era, it is basically impossible for any army in the world to storm a fortress like Anping Castle, and this is true for the Eastern army, and the same is true for the Westerners.

So, Paul and Byron immediately decided that the next thing they had to do was to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and decided not to send reinforcements to the city anymore.

At this time, between the two castles of the red-haired ghost, it has basically been cut off by the Zheng family, and if you send someone out at this time, you will be sent to death.

The red-haired ghosts were cowering in the city at this time, and it was difficult for the Zheng family army to kill them.

But if they get out of their turtle shells, it will be dangerous, and at this time, the outside of the city is already under the control of the Zheng family.

And after the Zheng family had the painful lesson of the last siege failure, Zheng Zhilong also learned to be obedient this time, and did not immediately launch an attack after the Zheng family surrounded the Red Embedded City.

Subsequently, the second landing group of 3,000 people led by Zheng Sen also arrived at the foot of Chichi City.

As for Anping City, Zheng Sen only sent people over to monitor, and did not send people to surround him, he wanted to eat Chiji City first, and then go back to clean up Anping Castle.

And with the Zheng family taking control of most of the ports on the Taijiang River and the Bruce fleet leaving the port, it is impossible for the red-haired ghosts of Anping Castle to recapture the port.

At this time, Paul and Byron found that they could do nothing but retreat in the castle to defend the city.

As night fell, the day of the 16th was over.

During this day, the Zheng family army successfully completed the landing battle plan, surrounded the two castles of the red-haired ghost, and cut off the connection between them.

And at this time, Bruce, the commander of the red-haired ghost Far East Fleet, who had already run dozens of nautical miles away, woke up in shock, because he found that half of the Zheng family's fleet that disappeared yesterday had not appeared until now.

At first, Bruce thought that the more than 100 Zheng family fleets that disappeared were ready to wrap them up in a roundabout way, but after this day, they didn't see any trace of this fleet.

On the contrary, behind them, the fleet of more than 100 warships led by Zheng Hongkui has always kept a short distance from them.

The two sides chased and stopped at sea, separated by a distance of several nautical miles, and there were small-scale artillery bombardments from time to time, Bruce did not want to fight for the time being, and Zheng Hongkui's side did not want to immediately fight a decisive battle with the red-haired ghost fleet.

Zheng Hongkui was waiting, waiting for Zheng Zhilong's side to successfully attack the land, and then the fleet led by Zheng Zhilong could turn back and support them.

However, after dark, Bruce woke up completely, and he knew that he might have been tricked.

Then, Bruce led the fleet to speed up overnight, and with the help of the cover of night, he successfully sailed out of this sea area.

It wasn't until after dawn that Zheng Hongkui found that the Far East Fleet of the red-haired ghost in front of him had disappeared.

"Damn, it must be the red-haired ghost who sensed that something was wrong and immediately sent out a clipper to look for traces of the red-haired devil's fleet in the surrounding seas."

After dawn, Zheng Hongkui also reacted immediately after discovering that the red-haired ghost fleet had disappeared.

……………………………………

On the other side, just when the Zheng family attacked again, the red-haired ghost of the big man in the south of the Ryukyus, the Tamsui Castle in the north of the Ryukyus also became lively again.

After Lu Yuan took Tamsui City, on the one hand, he ordered the fleet to enter the port to rest, and then sent people to get in touch with the Han people and indigenous people in the Tamsui area.

They wanted to establish their rule in the local area, and at this time, in the Tamsui area, because of commerce and trade, many Ming people have migrated here, and many local indigenous people also live here.

Previously, they were all under the rule of the red-haired ghosts, not only to work for the red-haired ghosts, but also to pay taxes to the red-haired ghosts.

Now, since Lu Yuan defeated the red-haired ghost and captured the city of San Domingo, which has now been renamed Tamsui City by Lu Yuan, they will take over everything here instead of the red-haired ghost.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also ordered to organize manpower to renovate Tamsui City, which will be used as the base of the White Dragon Army in Tamsui in the future.

I have to say that the Tamsui City that the red-haired ghost chose to build is in an excellent location at this time.

Although the castle was damaged a lot in the battle, it was still an impregnable castle if it was repaired, and it was much easier than asking Lu Yuan and them to build a new one.

As for the manpower to repair the castle, it doesn't take too much, the hundreds of red-haired ghosts who were captured, and the thousands of slaves under the red-haired ghosts before it, are enough for Lu Yuan and them to use.

To talk about Lu Yuan and other generals of the White Dragon Army, it was the first time they had seen these slaves, and they were very curious at first.

These slaves were all bought and sold by red-haired ghosts from other places, and there were even more than two hundred slaves transported from the Nanyang area, which were the indigenous people of the Nanyang area.

With these manpower, Lu Yuan's castle repair work can be carried out quickly and smoothly.

However, soon Lu Yuan and the others encountered something ridiculous, and the captured red-haired ghost Freshwater City Defense Commander, Colonel Brian, actually found him and expressed a serious protest to him.

Because, those red-haired ghost soldiers who were captured by the White Dragon Army didn't want to do hard labor and repair the castle for the White Dragon Army, but they were whipped by the White Dragon soldiers with leather whips.

What made these red-haired ghosts even more unacceptable was that the White Dragon Army actually treated them the same as those slaves.

In other words, the work that the slaves have to do, they also have to do, and they still eat the same 'pig food' as those.

This is simply a great shame and unacceptable for the red-haired ghosts who were high up in the sky and regarded those slaves like pigs and dogs.

It was because of this that Brian came to protest to Lu Yuan.

In the eyes of these red-haired ghosts, they have surrendered voluntarily and should be treated as prisoners of war.

The White Dragon Army should feed them with good food and drink, and they can't accept such a thing as labor, and they can't accept it even more if they are treated with.

"Hehe, you white-skinned pigs, you really think of yourself as an uncle, we Han people have a saying called 'become a king and lose a villain', since you are defeated, you will be obedient.

You can do whatever we ask you to do, and if you don't want to work, you can do it, then you can die.

If it weren't for the fact that your muscles are still useful, just because you invaded my Ming territory, I would have ordered you to be executed a long time ago.

Now that he's been captured, he doesn't have the consciousness of being a prisoner at all, so I don't want to see him anymore.

In addition, inform Lu Hai of what he did, and if those white-skinned pigs dare to be lazy and protest in the future, they will be whipped with a leather whip.

The general has a leather whip in his hand, break one, and I will make up ten for him, but I want to see if you white-skinned pigs are really not afraid of death. ”

As a result, Brian went to Lu Yuan's side to protest, but got Lu Yuan's reply.

At this time, there were more than 280 red-haired ghosts who were captured, and in addition to the more than 30 people who died due to infections and other reasons after the war, there were more than 250 people at this time.

In fact, more than 50 people were temporarily unable to work because of minor injuries, and Lu Yuan did not force it.

After all, when these people have recovered from their injuries, they are more than fifty free and strong laborers, and if they die at this time, it will be wasted.

As for the remaining two hundred healthy and uninjured red-haired ghosts, they were all driven by the White Dragon Army to repair the castle for them along with those and Nanyang slaves.
