Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 170 Fight to the last Dutchman!

Da Wula's subordinates included many natives from Yizhou Island.

In addition to the Pingpu people, there are also many high mountain people from Yizhou Island. They are natural mountain soldiers and are good at climbing cliffs.

On the back of Tallahan Port, which is attacked by the western line of Dawula, is a coastal cliff formed by the waves.

It was regarded by the Dutch as the natural city wall of Tarrahan Port, so they did not take more precautions.

Dawula launched several feint attacks on the front of Tarrahan Port. After successfully attracting the attention of the defenders, he dispatched 50 alpine warriors to climb up the cliff behind Tarrahan Port one night.

With the addition of spectacle and ideas, these alpine warriors are not afraid of death. They use advanced electric rifles (Migne guns) and a formation of 50 skirmishers. In the eyes of the Dutch defenders, they are like thousands of troops. They couldn't lift their heads up.

The soldiers of the Gaoshan people fought like special forces, and relying on the cover of night, they successfully captured the two most important forts in the northwest of Port Tarrahan, which made a great contribution to the guards' capture of the port in the early morning of the next day.

Batavia has always regarded the west as a safe zone, because Tarrahan Port is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they didn't build any forts on this road.

Therefore, as soon as Dawula took Tarrahan Port, he found that the road behind was flat, and the Dutch's counterattack was very weak and could almost be ignored.

When the bloody Matalan servants found that the main force of the guards brought by Da Wula was full of energy and almost without any damage, they couldn't help but drop their jaws in shock!
Their new father is too fierce!

It is unbelievable that the Dutch, who have been on their heads for decades, have been treated like this by them!
This also made the servants of Mataram, who had just experienced a bloody battle, more humble and awed in front of the guards.

The two armies merged into one, and an army of more than 2 people appeared outside the city of Batavia, which made the scalps of the Dutch in the city go numb.

This is not an indigenous army, but a devil army that even the Spanish Army can easily defeat!

Even the servants of Mataland were armed by Ming Zheng, a local tyrant. The bright breastplates of the servants made the Dutch feel terrified.

How to fight this battle to win it!

However, this terrifying army still chose to attack Batavia City from the east and west sides, instead of sending troops to the south, forming a situation of three sides.

Because the terrain of Batavia is high in the south and low in the north, the forests and mountains in the south receive more than 300 days of rain every year, bringing 13 rivers running through the city to Batavia, and the south of the city also has the most swamps area.

This kind of terrain is too dangerous for Mingzheng, but before the Dutch hit it, the crocodiles in the swamp caused non-combat attrition.

At this time, the powerful Guards also encountered a little trouble, that is, the rainy season in Batavia has arrived.

The Spice Islands have a tropical rainforest climate, and August is the rainiest time.

The only advantage of the rainy season to Mingzheng is that the temperature dropped, which made the guards wearing thick breastplates a lot more comfortable.

But it is also more likely to cause diseases among soldiers sleeping in the wild. Fortunately, thanks to the popularity of the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", the Guards are now equipped with a large number of doctors accompanying the army!

A little illness has little effect.

But rain will greatly affect the firing of the flintlock.

The Guards had only [-] bolt-action rifles, most of which were old-fashioned flintlocks. The Mataram servants were a little worse, using arquebuses.

There are plenty of flintlock guns, but the Matarams are not qualified to use them yet!

Although it seems that the attacking army is more disadvantaged, the Dutch in the city have already raised the idea of ​​surrender.

For, murderous Matarams, terrified them!
After these Mataram servants attacked the fortress, they did all kinds of evil. Even the Dutch who surrendered would be killed by them indiscriminately!

Moreover, those seemingly civilized orientals completely ignored the brutal behavior of the servants!

Unless it is a fortress that surrendered before the war, it is almost impossible to stay!

This style of play is completely out of the imagination of the Dutch.

The Netherlands is just a country with millions of people. If every war had to be fought to the death, the Netherlands would have ceased to exist.

It is said that they are sea coachmen, but the Dutch are actually a group of businessmen. When they have the upper hand, they can be relentless, but if the enemy is too fierce, they have to consider their own interests.

Even though the enemy troops outside Batavia got into trouble due to the arrival of the rainy season, judging by their posture, they didn't seem to be retreating at all.

The rainy season affects not only the Guards, but also the Netherlands. Their weapons are not as advanced as the Guards!
Right now, the regular army in Batavia City only has 3000 people, and the other 4000 people are either forcibly recruited Dutchmen or native soldiers.

Not to mention, there are nearly [-] Chinese in the city. God knows whether they will fight back once the enemies wearing the sun and moon flags outside the city start attacking the city.

The Dutch looked around, thinking about how to surrender, and said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and soon, the envoy of the Guards wrote a letter, telling them to surrender without killing, and send them back to the Netherlands as a gift!

The members and officers of the East India Company in Batavia finally stood up and asked Governor Cornelis to carefully consider Ming Zheng's conditions.

If Cornelis was determined to fight to the end, the senators and officers would let him experience what it was like to be a tsar.

Let him directly "stroke" to death, and then they welcome Wang Shi!
Just when Cornelis was hesitating, his assistant Peter quietly came over to persuade him, hoping that he would surrender quickly!
Facing his assistant, Cornelis Spellman, whose eyes were bloodshot, seemed to have seen a life-saving straw: "Peter, are the reinforcements from the Spanish expeditionary fleet coming?"

"Your Excellency, the Spanish expedition fleet is a bunch of bastards. They don't care about the life and death of the Dutch. If they don't surrender, God can't save us!" Peter said helplessly.

Hearing this, Cornelis put his head in his hands in pain, and said in frustration: "What's the difference between surrendering now and waiting for them to attack the castle? Could our end be worse? It's better to keep the honor of the Dutch and fight." At the last moment, at least you can die with dignity!"

Seeing that he wanted to go his own way, Peter shook his head and thought to himself, if you don’t surrender, let alone fight to the last moment, you have to go to see God first!
"Your Excellency, I fully agree with your idea. There are only Dutchmen who died in battle, and there were no Dutchmen who surrendered. Batavia will fight to the last Dutchman!"

As he spoke, Peter ordered the servants to serve the "dinner" carefully prepared by the congressmen for Cornelis!
