Chapter Seventy-Four: Defeated the World's Most Powerful Navy
Vanderlaan felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into. But in his heart, he was glad that he didn't have to die, he could save his life.
Vanderland looked at the sunken world's most advanced battleship, the Hector, his heart really hurt, it hurt! It's not just Vanderraine who has been hit, but everyone else as well.
The sinking of the Hector was a heavy blow to the entire Vanderlander fleet, and they did not know whether their commander was dead or alive, and all they could do now was to leave as quickly as possible, as fast as they could.
Many ships and dragon ships surrounded other small Dutch warships, and although these small warships were not as good as the Hector, "Graffran", "Egret", "Burmaria" and other warships, they could encircle and destroy them, and they could also greatly discourage the aggressors.
Zheng Chenggong has made a great contribution, Zhang Biwu doesn't want to fall behind, although he also sank some enemy ships, but there is no such glorious front as being able to sink the Hector. Zhang Biwu immediately commanded the siege of the "Graflan" and the "White Egret" with five or six large galleons.
"Reach in! Everyone, get up there! The general shouted, and he motioned to the soldiers to hurry up and get the ship close to the enemy ship, and then the soldiers boarded the enemy ship.
No, as soon as the ship approached, the long ladder was also erected, and one after another soldiers marched forward bravely.
"Shoot! Kill them! Shoot! Kill them! The red-haired ghosts panicked, and they kept shooting at the soldiers who climbed up the ladder with muskets. One by one, they fell down the long ladder, but one by one they came up.
They never stopped moving forward. No, one after another jumped onto the deck, once the hand-to-hand combat, it was the Chinese army that was strong!
With a wave of white light from the big sword, several red-haired ghosts fell in a pool of blood.
"Help!" The red-haired ghosts screamed, and they ran frantically, hoping to escape for their lives, while the soldiers chased the ghosts.
The red-haired ghost let go of his gun and knocked out a soldier with one shot, but then he did. And the soldiers followed. They are not afraid at all. Even if they use the most primitive weapons against the opponent's advanced firearms, they will not show weakness in the slightest.
The enemy ship had to increase its horsepower and escape, no, the long ladder attached to the enemy ship fell into the water one after another, and some soldiers who were still on the long ladder had to fall into the water with them.
The soldiers were cutting off the ship's berth. and chained the bow mast of the enemy ship. Set fire. And it was shelled again. It was badly damaged, but fortunately many enemy ships came to the rescue.
None of the soldiers on the enemy ship jumped into the sea to escape, and they all wanted to occupy the enemy ship. In the end, all the soldiers on the enemy ship died heroically.
Vanderrain, on the other hand, was on another battleship, and he immediately had the white flag hoisted and signaled for the Chinese army not to attack him again, and they threw in the towel and surrendered! He's running away, he's going to get out of here.
Vanderraan said the most: "Crazy! These Chinese troops are all crazy! They are the craziest soldiers in the world! They are terrible! I've fought so many battles in my life, I've never served anyone, and now I'm in service! Fall back! Go back to Bavilia! I will never fight again with such an army of madmen in the future! ”
Since even the commander Vanderland's is angry, how can the other soldiers of Vanderland's fleet have the confidence to fight again? As soon as they heard that they had hoisted the white flag and conceded defeat to their opponents, and then they could return to Bavilla, they were relieved, and they were all happy to save a dog's life.
Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Biwu both admitted defeat as soon as they saw each other, and they didn't want to pursue anymore, otherwise, they would be forced to fight the trapped beasts, and then the coalition army would suffer great losses, and maybe the tide of the battle would be reversed. Take it when you see it!
Anyway, we have to use troops to recover Taiwan again, and we have to use these forces to drive out the Tartars in the future! If it weren't for the invasion of the Manchus, you invaders would have dared to enter Chinese waters, and you wouldn't have thought of going back alive.
At this point, this navy, which is known as the most powerful navy in the world, has been defeated by the Chinese sailors who are far behind them and whose combat power is much worse, which can indeed be called a miracle!
As soon as he saw him in the city of Geranza, he was stupid, and the only hope was that Vanderlaan was defeated, and there was no way that reinforcements would be sent from Bavilia, so he would have to wait for death at that time.
What to do? Shrouded in despair, he roared like a wild beast.
And the Red City has been trapped for a long time, and the most fatal thing is that the water source has been cut off. You can endure hunger for a long time, but you can't go without hydration, which makes it even more unbearable.
He was drinking water, and he saw that the water in the cup was very turbid, and he got angry and angry: "What's going on! I can drink the water! How did you guys do it! ”
The generals beside him said helplessly: "Commander, the water source has been cut off!" The city is without water. As long as there is a little bit of water, people will grab it as if they are crazy. The water in the city is gone, and it's nice to have this muddy water to drink! ”
He sighed one after another, he knew that if he continued to be sleepy like this, there would be no water, and even if there was more food, he would die of thirst. Especially for them, their favorite food is dry food like bread, so they have to drink plenty of water!
The days without water are very, very hard for the red-haired ghosts, they think it's hell! It's almost unbearable!
And even the supposedly invincible Vanderraan fleet docked closest has been defeated, what hope can there be? Surrender! Every night, these people are noisy, making people sleepless, drums, gongs, never stopping.
And every now and then he fired a cannon or two, so that the red-haired ghost had to get up again to deal with it, and in the end it was found that the enemy army did not start attacking at all. It's just that under such a toss, the red-haired ghost can't stand it.
During the day, the coalition forces are all under the red-haired ghosts, they are drinking wine, eating hearty food, and even constantly wasting water in front of the red-haired ghosts, and now every red-haired ghost is too thirsty to stand it.
Each of the red-haired ghosts licked their thirsty lips with their tongues, and they all felt that the coalition forces were too much! This side is dying of thirst, and you're wasting water. Provocation! Naked provocation!
It was to get someone who knew Dutch to speak: "Come here! Give you water to drink! I'm going to give you a bath! Don't be patient any longer! There's a lot of water here! Hurry up! ”
This sentence is all about the heart of the red-haired ghost! When the red-haired ghost saw the water stored in the cistern, his eyes lit up with gold, and he was eager to pounce on it immediately and drink it to his heart's content.
At this moment, the military spirit of the red-haired ghosts began to waver, and there were more and more red-haired ghosts who tended to surrender, and they reflected this situation to the difficult Shiding.
He also began to waver, he was really thirsty! And take a look at the city, obediently! Unbelievable, the Red Embedded City was surrounded by turns, but he didn't know that in addition to the men and horses of the coalition army, there were also Taiwanese people who spontaneously organized themselves, and they also supported their own army together.
"There are too many enemies! Commander, we will not be opponents of each other at all! Surrender! As soon as someone said this, many people immediately followed: "Yes! Commander, let's surrender! ”
He didn't want to surrender, but because too many people persuaded him to surrender, he could be said to have surrendered under the coercion of his subordinates, and he did not lose his dignity as a great Dutch soldier. In fact, this is all self-deception!
Along with his men, he came out and surrendered, one by two of them holding their guns high above their heads, their heads down.
Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong watched this scene and couldn't help but smile happily, their battle was successful, and the enemy surrendered.
With the surrender of Chichicheng, then there will be only places such as Geranza City and Taiwan left, and if these places are destroyed, then this battle of Taiwan can be won.
However, Zhang Biwu and the others did not know that the Dutch side heard that Taiwan was surrounded, and in addition to ordering the recent Van der Laan fleet from Taiwan to come to help, they also cobbled together more than a dozen warships at the same time, led by Jakobkaou, more than 700 soldiers, to join forces with Van der Laan to rescue Taiwan. They did not know that the Van der Laan fleet had been defeated.
And at this time, the most dangerous ones are Xuan Jianhao and Lu Xiangsheng and others who stayed in the rear!
Because Yongli saw that Zhang Biwu's army did not move, he was impatient, and he was bewitched by the Manchu spies, he had to let Xuan Jianhao and Lu Xiangsheng and others bring the army out, so that they could go east to Beijing together and recover the capital.
At this time, the envoys who came were terrible, some of these envoys were martial artists, and they were going to carry out a secret plan.
As soon as these envoys came, they naturally read out the oracle of Yongli, and asked Lu Xiangsheng and others to immediately lead troops to the battle.
Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao and Cao Bianjiao and others have all kinds of excuses, of course they are saying that they are still in preparation, and the King of Qi also said that now the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still very strong, they are waiting to drill into the trap after digging a trap, now it should not be to attack forward, but to leave everything, and wait for the best time to attack the enemy! That's the best thing!
Again, these words can be said to be a repetition of the same old tune, and it is all the same!
These envoys were very unhappy in their hearts, and they signaled to each other, knowing what kind of means they should take to deal with Lu Xiangsheng and the others.
No, it's the first to strike! Lu Xiangsheng was alert, including Xuan Jianhao, their speed quickly wanted to jump to Xuan Jianhao, but fortunately, Cao Bianjiao's speed was faster, and he kicked over, jumping the messenger out of the city. (To be continued......)
