Anderson was a little helpless. He had the strongest cannon. The 32-pound long cannon in his hand weighed 7,000 pounds, with an effective range of 2,000 yards. The maximum range was 7,000 yards. Facing a fortress like Sicao Sea Fort, he could completely break a gap in just one day.

But the Ming man Lu Fang was even more lucky. He even shot one shot and hit the other party's gunpowder depot. Anderson would never believe that Lu Fang had the ability to fight so well. All this is luck and shit.

Lu Fang was indeed lucky. The wooden delayed fuze tube of the Nine-Headed Bird made the delayed explosion time of the bomb well. When the explosion fell into the city and exploded, it happened to explode next to the house where gunpowder was stored, and suddenly detonated the gunpowder barrel in the house.

The power of the death explosion was extremely powerful. It directly destroyed the southern city of Lingbao, and half of the city wall collapsed. The broken bricks of the city wall just piled up a slope on both sides of the gap in the city wall.

When the smoke dissipated, Lu Fang saw a big hole in the city wall that was more than three feet high, and almost fainted excitedly. Hurry up, aim the cannon at the gap and hit the hole wider, don't let the red-haired people block the hole." Lu Fang shouted, pulling a soldier over and asking him to report to Wang Qian quickly.

Before the soldier could run over, Wang Qian was already alarmed by the violent explosion. He quickly rode over and saw the large gap in the smoke.

"God helps me!"

Wang Qian laughed excitedly several times, and then ordered the shield soldiers to cover the musket soldiers to snatch the gap into the city.

The Nine Gate City Anti-Armor cannons in the castle also began to roar, but with such a large opening, the defenders in the city could not stop them. Under the cover of the shield hands, the musketeers ran forward quickly.

At this time, Lu Fang was excitedly commanding the four divine cannons to keep firing bombs into the city.

Dane, on the North Fort, led Lucas and other teams of defenders to the south, but unfortunately he was powerless to make the situation come back. The huge gap could not be blocked at all.

In addition to the musketeers, there were also light artillery in the infantry battalion, tiger squat, destroyer, and Folang machine, which were equipped with the rank and bureau flags. Although they were incomparable to the artillery company's cannons and could not be compared with the city defense cannons, they were not underestimated when fighting for the gap in this kind of close war.

Just a distance of twenty or thirty steps, or even a dozen steps, the Dutch could not stop it at all.

The nine-headed bird broke through the gap and poured into the castle like a tide.

The two most powerful weapons of the Dutch defenders, the Nine Gate City Anti-Architecture Cannon and the solid bastion, were all useless, and the only ones left were the Dutch defenders with less than a hundred men.

There were bursts of gunfire. After a while, the gunfire gradually became diminished, and then it stopped.

The red, white and blue tricolor flag marked with the letter C on the castle was pulled down and the nine-headed bird flag was inserted.

On the sea in Taijiang in the distance, Liu Jun and others had just arrived at the Heliao Port port on the shore.

When there was a violent explosion there, Liu Jun had already started to watch the day with a thousand-mile mirror.

"Master, our flag is raised, and the Sicao Sea Fort has been taken down."

"I saw it too." Liu Jun nodded, smiling and very satisfied. The speed was really fast. After an hour, they had already taken the fortress.

Nicholas, the Spanish officer who followed Liu Jun, could hardly believe that he knew the Dutch's defense in Taiwan. Sicao Sea Fort is a bastion, although not as tall as the city of Gerlan, it is also a bastion. The bastion is known as the strongest defense. Now, it is broken in less than an hour, even if the number of Dutch defenders is very small, the speed is too shocking.

Heliao Port is right in front of you. Just like when they were connected to the Luermen waterway, there were no Dutch intercepting defenses at this port.

The Dutch did not appear, but a large number of Han people appeared at the port.

Nicholas became nervous, and Liu Jun smiled and said to him, "Don't be nervous. These are their own people." Long before Liu Jun was preparing to attack the senior official, Zheng Zhilong sent someone to sneak back to Tainan to convey the news that the court was about to recover Taiwan to the Han migrants who had left Zheng Zhilong here.

Zheng Zhilong sent people to contact these Han people. In the plan, if the Dutch dared to send troops to intercept them, the Han people would stab the Dutch in the back, and for this reason, Liu Jun even secretly brought a lot of swords and guns to these Han people.

Now the Dutch are huddled in the castle and dare not come out, but these Han people are coming as promised.

Since Zheng Zhilong was recruited to take his troops out of Taiwan, these immigrants from the mainland have been uneasy. In the past, when Zheng Zhilong and the others were there, the Dutch did not dare to provoke them. But as soon as Zheng Zhilong and the others left, the Dutch gradually extended their hands to the Han immigrants, collected taxes from the Han people, and even provoked the native foreigners to attack the Han people, making the Han people believe in religion, etc.

After Liu Jun got ashore, he found that thousands of Han people had come, and basically all the young and strong immigrants from the Han people in Taiwan had arrived. Some of them were holding swords and guns given by Liu Jun, while others were holding hoes and hatches to hunt bows, and they were all happy.

When they saw such a huge army of imperial court came, they were even happier. Although many of the immigrants were unable to live on the mainland and came to Taiwan, they were still very happy after leaving their hometown and seeing the government troops coming from their homes, especially when Zheng Zhilong and the others were still in this army.

These Han leaders came to pay homage to Liu Jun and even gave them wine, meat and other items. Liu Jun also gave these people gold, silver and other items, and praised them loudly.

Some of them were so excited that they shed tears, especially when Liu Jun said that the court would set up a yamen in Taiwan to serve as an official, rule the place for a long time, and announced that the military farms of these Han people were exempt from taxes for three years, these people were even happier.

They took the initiative to move artillery and supplies to the Jiutou Bird, and transported the supplies to Chichi City for the official army.

The Dutch's base camp in Taiwan is on the Dayuan Island, while Chichuang City is on the main island in Taiwan. Chichuang City and Dayuan Island are separated by a narrow sea, and Sicao Fortress on the North Line Island just guards the Reichlan City and Dayuan Town on the Dayuan Island on both sides.

Chicing City, also known as Luominxiya City, was originally deceived by them with fifteen pieces of cloth and cowhide lies.

This is also a sturdy castle, with a square body, a length of 300 meters and a width of more than 200 meters. It is quite an enlarged version of the Sicao Sea Fortress. There is a convex ridge in the northeast and southwest of the castle. There are also nine-gate city defense cannons on the castle, and there are trenches, chest walls, and wooden fences outside the city.

The Sicao Sea Fort has been taken, so the Ming army is very morale at this time and is quite confident in taking down Chichicheng.

With the assistance of thousands of Han people, Liu Jun ordered the troops to be divided into two groups again. One was led by him through the farms that the Dutch had cultivated outside Chichi City and the courtyard of the East India Company. The other was along the road south and turned to the east, and finally bypassed a forest before turning north and camping to the other side of the town.

Two troops cleared the towns outside Chichi Castle and finally besieged Chichi Castle.

Paul was the one who was responsible for guarding Chi Chai. When he saw a large number of Ming troops coming, his armor was dazzling and his flag was flying, he was frightened and he quickly sent someone to ask for help from the city of Relan on the opposite official island.

In the afternoon, Debour asked Van Bron to draw a company of marines from the fleet to come ashore to reinforce.

As soon as the three hundred people approached the shore on the boat, Liu Jun had already received the news and immediately sent a cavalry battalion to intercept it.

Feng Sheng led the cavalry battalion to quickly rush to the shore to intercept the horses, and arrived, "Dropping off the horse!"

With the order, the cavalry members dismounted one after another, began to line up in neat formations, and raised muskets.

"put!"

With a command, the cavalry fired one after another, and rows of lead bullets shot out. After the shooting, the gunmen standing in the front row turned around and walked back from the side of the queue to join the last row of the team. The gunmen in the second row of the queue who had already completed the loading took a step forward, stood in the original position of the gunmen who had just left, raised their guns, aimed, and fired again.

The sound of muskets was endless. The Dutch Marines who finally landed on the dock and disembarked, were blocked by the firepower of the cavalry before they could even get in the whole team.

Many people were shot at that time.

These Dutch Marines were full of anger. They never expected that the Ming army had a cavalry. It was precisely because of this that they had never expected that the other party would arrive so soon.

They are also old mercenaries and often fight with the fleet, but they have never fought such a battle. The enemies are countless times theirs, and they are far better than them in terms of numbers and weapons.

"Breaking back, fire back!"

Dutch mercenaries were looking for blockages, but bent down and raised their guns to fight back.

However, the Ming army was larger, and they formed a musket formation one earlier. What's even more terrible is that many Dutch soldiers found that the opponent's muskets fired extremely quickly, one row after another, with almost no gaps. The continuous bullets could not raise their heads at all, and were completely suppressed on the shore.

"These red hairs are very smart. They know to lie on the ground and spread out." Feng Sheng looked at the battlefield and sneered, "Do you think I can't do anything about you like this?"

He waved his hand and shouted, "Calling our cannons."

The artillery fire that Feng Sheng called for was not the artillery company, but the support firepower of the cavalry battalion itself, and a large number of various light artillery firepowers.

A tiger squatted and destroyed the enemy. The Folang machine was dragged over and quickly raised it.

After rapid adjustments, these battalions fired with fire.

All of them are loaded with shotgun iron sand, one by one, one by one, and although these small cannons have a short range, they are still farther than muskets. It is just right to deal with a group of ship-based marines that are on the shore.

After a burst of artillery fire, the Dutch could no longer hold on and began to retreat.

Seeing this, Feng Sheng showed a smug smile, waved his knife and pointed forward, "Turn them into the sea!"

The musketeers lined up and opened fire from time to time. The Dutch fought and retreated, and finally had no choice but to surrender. In the end, a marine company had 218 people left, and all surrendered.
Chapter completed!
