Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 385 Special Forces Assault

Hongmao Fan has more than 2000 troops stationed in Taiwan and more than 20 warships, which are also iron-clad warships.

However, their iron-clad warships are not iron-hulled, but wooden sailing warships, which are only equipped with iron plates on parts that are vulnerable to attack.

Hong Maofan's twenty warships were all parked in the port to take shelter from the wind.

After receiving the news that the Ming army was going to attack Taiwan, despite the typhoon, the soldiers were still on duty in two shifts, ready to fight at any time.

However, seeing such a bad situation, the soldiers on the Hongmaofan battleship also relaxed their vigilance.

Sleep when you should sleep, gamble when you should gamble, and some sailors even quietly bring women on the battleship to drink and have fun.

As it was getting dark, a fleet quietly approached Taijiang Port. It was the Daming Armored Fleet.

Hong Maofan never thought that the Ming Fleet would enter Taijiang Port during the typhoon.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Taijiang Port in front of him and found that the situation was much better than he had imagined.

Although there is a lot of wind and waves outside, the wind and waves in Neijiang Port are much smaller because of Chikan Tower and Zeelandia Castle.

Not only can ironclad warships stop firmly on the sea, but small boats on battleships may also be able to sail.

He immediately turned back to Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Yan Yingyuan and said:
"We are going to destroy all the Hongmaofan warships in the port first, what do the three generals think?"

Li Dingguo cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Captain, you are the commander-in-chief. You don't need to ask for our opinions on tactics. We will cooperate with the navy's landing operations."

Yan Yingyuan's thoughts are somewhat different from Li Dingguo's:
"Captain, look at Hongmaofan's battleship, which is even more advanced than our Daming sailing warship, I have an idea.

It's better to let our Longqi Special Forces take a small boat and touch it quietly.

Quietly capture all those warships, and then you send sailors and artillery to take over Hong Maofan's sailing warships.

When it's time to attack the city, we can cooperate from the inside and the outside, and use Hong Maofan's warships to attack Zeelandia City and Chikan Tower. "

It has to be said that Yan Yingyuan's idea is very bold. If he succeeds, he will definitely hit Hongmaofan hard.

But it is very difficult to realize, it can be said that it is almost impossible.

The twenty battleships of Hongmaofan are neatly arranged in the port, and their guns are all juxtaposed with each other.

If you directly block the Neijiang exit, then use heavy artillery to attack the Hongmaofan battleship.

There is no way they can fight back, and they can definitely sink them all.

But it's not easy to capture the Hongmaofan battleship. Such a tall and large ship has wind and waves, and small boats can't get close, so how can they climb up.

Besides, even if you climb up, so what, the red-haired soldiers are already equipped with flintlock guns. Although this method is good, it is too dangerous.

Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up at the beginning, but after calming down a little, he immediately shook his head:

"No, although the method is good, it is difficult to implement. If there are heavy casualties, I cannot explain to the Holy Majesty."

Liu Wenxiu also got up and cupped her hands:
"Captain, the general thinks it's worth a try. Now the harbor is filled with the sound of waves crashing on the shore, which can just cover up our sneak attack on the Red-haired warship."

"This... this is not good, it's too risky, General Li, what do you mean?"

Zheng Chenggong is not stupid, he is also a ruthless person, and kicked the ball to Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of the Longqi Special Forces.

Li Dingguo didn't speak for a while, he got up and walked to the window, picked up the binoculars and took a closer look at the situation outside.

Seeing Li Dingguo like this, the other three fell silent temporarily, they were all waiting for Li Dingguo's decision.

Of the 3000 Dragon Banner Special Forces members, more than [-] were brought in this time. These people are elites who have experienced many battles.

It is also a sharp weapon built by Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian with his own pocket.

When Li Dingguo made a decision, he also had to fully consider the battle damage of the Longqi Special Forces, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the emperor.

After about a dozen deliberate moments, Li Dingguo put down the binoculars, turned around and said to Zheng Chenggong:
"Commander, there is nothing wrong with what Liu Wenxiu and Yan Yingyuan said just now, and it can be completely implemented. Put down the boat and send the Dragon Banner Special Forces to board the big red-haired ship. If there is any problem, I will be responsible. What do you think, Commander?"

Zheng Chenggong stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Li Dingguo's shoulders, and said in a sincere tone:

"General Li, you have to think carefully, we can't lose, and your Dragon Banner Special Forces can't afford to lose either, this is the first battle of your Dragon Banner Special Forces.

In fact, we still have other ways. How can a small Taiwan stop our big tomorrow army? Once the typhoon stops, we can blow Taiwan to the ground. "

Li Dingguo knew that Zheng Chenggong was for their own good, and it was precisely because this battle was the first battle of the Longqi Special Forces that they had to prove themselves.

Li Dingguo bowed deeply to Zheng Chenggong:
"That's the decision, thank the governor for his cooperation, let's prepare the boat!"

There are small boats on every armored warship, and Li Dingguo knows this very well now.

Zheng Chenggong nodded:

"Okay, our navy will definitely cooperate with you to board the red-haired battleship."

Zheng Chenggong immediately issued an order to put down forty small boats and send the special forces to board the Hongmaofan battleship.

Once successful, the navy immediately dispatched sailors to board the enemy ship, turning Hongmaofan's battleship into a sharp weapon against them.

When Zheng Chenggong arranged for the sailors, Li Dingguo also conveyed the order through the walkie-talkie.

"Qi Tong listened to the order. Divide your thousand-man team into [-] small teams, and find a way to touch the Hongmaofan battleship through the small boat, so that no one will be left alive to capture the warship."

"Yes"

Qi Tong was transferred from the Qi family army and was also the commander of the Dragon Banner Army. He immediately began to carry out Li Dingguo's orders.

The small boat prepared on the armored battleship was quickly put into the water, and the sailors and the Dragon Banner Special Forces boarded the small boat together.

It seemed that there was not much wind and waves in the Neijiang River, but immediately after the boat was lowered, it began to shake violently.

Fortunately, this group of people were all drawn from the Qi family army. They were southerners themselves, and they also fought at sea when they were fighting Japanese pirates.

In the end, the twenty small teams were quietly sent to the Hongmaofan battleship without any danger.

Looking up at the five or six-meter-high Hongmaofan battleship, the sailors were beating their hearts, they didn't know how the Dragon Banner Special Forces would get there.

Qi Tong looked at the distance between the small boat and the giant ship, and waved his hand:
"Preparing to board the ship, the general has an order, no one will be left alive."

After Qi Tong gave an order, the members of the Longqi Special Forces immediately took out the flying claws from their backpacks, threw them away, and the flying claws were fixed on the edge of the battleship.

They pulled the flying claw rope to see if it was firmly grasped. Seeing that there was no problem, the group of people were as dexterous as civet cats, grabbed the flying claw rope, and quickly boarded the deck of the red-haired battleship.

The wind on the deck was very strong, and they might be blown into the sea if they were not careful. They immediately crawled on the deck.

If so many people boarded the battleship in normal times, they would definitely be discovered.

Today's storm covered the whereabouts of the Longqi Special Forces very well, allowing them to sneak into the cabin without anyone noticing.

The number of red-haired fans was not many, half of them stayed on the battleship, and the other half rested in Zeelandia City.

When Qi Tongdeng appeared in front of a group of red-haired fans, they were drinking and having fun.

Suddenly seeing a stranger appearing on the battleship, Hong Maofan was taken aback. Just as he was about to call out, Qi Tong broke his neck.

The other red-haired fans in the room didn't even have a chance to touch the gun, and suddenly felt a chill on their necks, and their throats had been cut by the Longqi Special Forces.
