   Chapter 661 658 [Luring the enemy to ambush]

  Wan Bangyan, who was born in the Jiangxi Navy, is the commander of the Taiwan Fleet of the Datong Navy and has been stationed near the Penghu Islands for a long time.

  The reason why Wan Bangyan was thrown here was because most of the Han people in Zhuluo County were migrated by Zheng Zhilong. Zhao Han was a little worried and did not dare to send Zheng Zhilong's generals to Taiwan for garrison.

  A 400-ton warship, more than a dozen 200-ton warships, and more than a dozen 150-ton warships. Wan Bangyan is confident of defeating the four Dutch warships, but he must pay a price. Only the 650-ton Hector is enough for the Datong Navy to drink a pot.

  Historically, when Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, he declared that the Hector would be sunk by all guns.

  But according to the records of the Dutch, it was the Dutch navy who misoperated and accidentally detonated the gunpowder magazine, and it didn't take long to blow up and sink itself.

  No matter what, it is impossible for Li Dingguo to send troops this time by boat.

  Naval battle is one thing, troop transport is another. In case of fighting with Dutch warships during the troop transport, one of them was accidentally sunk, and the army soldiers would sink along with them.

Moreover, the easy-to-land landing areas in Tainan are covered by the firepower of Zeelandia City's anti-aircraft guns—Zheng Chenggong was able to land easily because he had figured out the terrain and climate in advance, took advantage of the short time of high tide, and used the tide to advance on the shallower coast. login.

   Neither Li Dingguo nor Wan Bangyan chose to take risks.

   Anyway, it was only sixty miles away, and the Datong Army was able to walk through all the thorns and thorns along the way.

  I didn’t bring artillery, nor did I bring too much food and grass, because I had to cross several small rivers, and I had to rush to rescue.

  The soldiers took axes and waist knives and chopped down the weeds and vines in the forest. When encountering a river, it is not wide anyway, so trees are cut down on the spot to build a pontoon bridge.

   Two days later, it was close to the indigenous settlement of Madou.

  There is a war going on here. The Madou natives, the Mujiayouwan natives and the remnants of the Han uprising army joined forces to fight against the Dutch pursuers. And among the pursuers of the Dutch, there are also many Madou natives!

  The aborigines at the bottom have a deep hatred with the Netherlands.

  When they heard that the Han people had rebelled, they immediately responded in groups. Even though the Han Chinese have failed, even though their leaders are serving as dogs to the Dutch, there are still many native brothers who are willing to stand up and fight. This is not the first time, they have been at war with the Netherlands for eight of the previous twenty years.

  The school built by the missionaries in Madoushe is billowing with smoke.

  The uprising coalition forces were obviously defeated. There were about 2,000 people, and they fled northward in the woods. The Dutch soldiers were not chasing quickly, but the native servants fought bravely one by one, trying to exchange the heads of their compatriots for the appreciation of the colonists.

   "Brother Ang, how long will it be before we see officers and soldiers?" Mo asked while running.

  Wu Hualong said: "It's almost there, it's almost there."

  Mo Na is a warrior of the Madou Club. He is very good at hunting and has a lot of prestige in the tribe. His father was killed by the Dutch, and he hated his leader very much, because that was the leader supported by the Dutch with force.

  There are quite a few tribesmen who have the same idea as Mo Na. This time, more than two hundred Madou warriors stood up and fought together with the Han people.

  Mo Na ran forward, passing through a forest, when he suddenly heard the sound of a chant coming from ahead.

   "Hey Yo, Hey Yo!"

   That was the Datong army cutting down trees and carrying logs to build a pontoon bridge.

  Wu Hualong listened carefully, and was pleasantly surprised: "It's Han, there are many Han in front!"

   They speeded up and ran forward, but they heard another brass whistle.

  It was the sentinels who crossed the river in advance to warn them. They also spotted them and immediately whistled to warn.

  Across the river, Li Dingguo shouted: "The whole army put on armor immediately. Soldiers in armor, prepare to meet the enemy!"

   About 2,000 people marched in armor. At this moment, they raised their guns and aimed at the other side of the river.

  Although Wu Hualong did not see the sentinel hiding behind the tree, he hurriedly shouted: "Our own people, our own people, we are all Han Chinese, and these indigenous brothers are also our own people!"

   Not long after, the whole army crossed the river.

   Li Dingguo asked: "Looking at you, have you already fought a war?"

Wu Hualong cried: "More than 10,000 people revolted and originally occupied Chixian City. But the red-haired ghost's artillery is powerful, and there are a lot of them. It must have been dismantled from the ship or the city wall. Brother Guo died in battle, and the rest The brothers and sisters were either killed or fled, and there are only a thousand people left now."

   Li Dingguo wanted to scold them a few words, but seeing them in a panic, he just said, "How many pursuers are there in the enemy army?"

  Wu Hualong said: "There are only about a hundred red-haired ghosts, and there are two to three thousand indigenous people who serve as dogs for the red-haired ghosts. They have been biting at the back, and they will probably catch up soon."

  Li Dingguo asked: "Do you dare to go back and lure the enemy?"

  Wu Hualong gritted his teeth and said, "Dare! Even if you die, lure the pursuers over!"

   Li Dingguo immediately set up an ambush, Wu Hualong selected hundreds of warriors, and turned back in place to lure the enemy.

  Mo Na also took the Madou warriors and volunteered to follow.

  Mo said excitedly as he walked: "Your Han officers and soldiers are really powerful. There are so many armors and firecrackers. The red-haired ghosts will definitely not be able to beat them."

  Wu Hualong said proudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are millions of troops, all of whom are warriors like this. The red-haired ghost is doomed this time!"

   They walked back about two miles, and bumped into the aboriginal soldiers who were exploring the way.

   "In front, in front!" the native soldiers shouted.

  Wu Hualong also shouted in panic: "Run!"

  Mona understood immediately, and said to the warriors beside him, "Call for your life together!"

   "Run, the pursuers are coming!"

  Madou Club and Mujia Walking Warriors, a total of more than 400 people, shouted in panic at this moment. All the Han rebels also shouted, sounding chaotic, enough to show their panic.

   There are more than 1,700 indigenous servants of the four tribes left at this time.

  They heard the yelling from a distance, and they all became excited, yelling and chasing after them. There is no formation at all, and the tribe is the unit, chasing wildly in the woods.

  The 120 Dutch soldiers in the rear have left their artillery in Chixian City. Don't be in a hurry at the moment, continue to move forward slowly, and can shoot in formation at any time.

  Thousands of Datong troops are all hiding in the bushes or behind big trees.

  The rebel army who lured the enemy rushed quickly, and the pursuers were hundreds of meters behind them.

   "Bang bang bang bang!"

   Guns rang out in the woods, and the Datong soldiers shot at each other. The native chasers who rushed to the front fell two or three hundred people on the spot.

   "Duddudddddddddddddah~~~"

  The charge horn sounded, the musketeers loaded their bayonets, and the pikemen held their spears, and immediately charged in a free style.

   And those native soldiers would have already collapsed when they encountered an ambush!

   They knew the power of the firecrackers, they were overwhelmed by the Dutch firecrackers. Now that you hear gunshots all over the forest, how can you still have the courage to fight?

   "There are gunshots, a lot of matchlocks!"

  Danker, the Dutch commander, was very frightened by the gunshots, and before the native soldiers fled back, he ordered: "Retreat immediately, retreat to the castle!"

  Wu Hualong and Mo Na led the Han Chinese and indigenous warriors and followed the Datong army in pursuit.

   Along the way, I kept encountering native soldiers who knelt down and begged for mercy, and they beat them to death without saying a word. Those Han people who did not have regular weapons, after killing the native soldiers, threw away the wooden sticks in their hands, snatched the weapons of the native soldiers and continued to charge.

  The Datong army just rushed, and all the captives were handed over to the rebel army.

  The method of the rebel army is to kill all the captives, they have already killed red eyes!

  Denker took the Dutch soldiers and quickly withdrew to a river where the raft they had crossed before was tied.

   Just as Danker was about to board the raft to cross the river, hundreds of native soldiers fled back, obviously trying to get on the raft.

   "Raise the gun!"

  Half of the Dutch soldiers had already boarded the raft, and Danker ordered the remaining half of the soldiers to raise their guns and aim at his servants.

   "Bang bang bang!"

   There was a gunshot, and more than a dozen native soldiers fell down. The other native soldiers ran to both sides in fright, and then jumped into the river to swim.

  Denker urged: "Hurry up and paddle!"

  The number of rafts is not enough, and two batches are scored to cross the river, but it is too late.

   More and more Datong army rushed over from the woods. The overwhelming array made Danker's scalp numb with fright.

  Denker stood on the raft and said: "Don't wait for the raft, jump into the river and swim here!"

  When Danker took half of the soldiers and successfully returned to the other side of the river, the remaining half of the soldiers were still swimming in the river.

  The Datong army had already rushed to the river, and immediately raised their guns and fired freely.

   Some aimed at the enemy on the other side of the river, and some aimed at the enemy in the river.

  Due to the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, Denker dared not shoot at each other. He didn't care about Heli's subordinates, and immediately ran away, and a few unlucky ones were shot when they ran away.

  The enemy soldiers swimming in the river, whether they were Dutch soldiers or indigenous servants, were shot and sank from time to time.

  Danker came out with 120 soldiers, and when he fled back to Chixian City, only 71 remained.

  In Taiwan, there are still more than 800 Dutch soldiers, more than 800 Dutch immigrants, and more than 1,000 slaves. In addition, there are hundreds of Dutch wives who are similar to slave girls, all of whom were snatched after killing all the native men on Xiaoliuqiu Island.

  Denker took a boat to the city of Zeelandia and said, "Your Excellency, the Chinese army is here. There are at least several thousand people."

   "There are really several thousand?" Felberg panicked.

  Denker said: "Nearly half of my soldiers died in battle. Do you want to defend Fort Promincia?"

  Prominia Castle is the castle in Chixian City.

  Felberg said: "Abandon Promincia Fort, all withdraw to Zeelandia Fort, and concentrate our troops to defend. I will send another ship to Batavia to ask for support!"

  It takes more than two months to go back and forth to Batavia!

  When the two of them were discussing, more than 2,000 vanguard troops of the Datong Army had already chased and killed Chikan City. The dozens of defenders in the castle were so frightened that they fled immediately. There was no food in the ruined castle, and they starved to death after besieging them for a month or two.

   "Brother Guo! Brother Cai! Brother Liu..."

  Wu Hualong knelt in front of the castle, looked at the corpse hanging from the wooden pole, and immediately burst into tears.

   Apart from Wu Hualong, two other landlords who conspired to revolt escaped, and the rest all hung there to demonstrate.

   Li Dingguo came quickly with the main force and asked, "Apart from this castle, where else is Chixian City worth occupying?"

  Wu Hualong stood up, thought for a while and said, "There are two Niutausi in the suburbs, and there are many Tianzhu yellow cattle in them!"

   Niutausi is a cattle breeding farm, all imported from India.

  In addition, the Dutch also brought large peas and cabbage to Taiwan, which are now widely planted in Tainan.

   Li Dingguo immediately sent troops to occupy two cattle farms, and all the more than 500 Indian cattle in them were confiscated.

  As for the city of Zeelandia, it cannot be encircled for the time being and requires the cooperation of the navy.

  However, the city of Zeelandia was on the island, and even if they did not send troops to surround it, they would not be able to obtain enough food supplies, so they could only be transported from other places by sea ships.
