Win the Ding 1617

The letter of persuasion written by the staff of the defending Han army was placed in front of the two governors, Putmans and De Bauer.

"The deacon led more than a thousand hungry, exhausted and disabled soldiers to defend the city. How can we resist our army? Cannon fire? Ships? Or use deep ditches and high fortifications? But Yu You blames the deacon for his ignorance. I am happy to die by accident, and the rest will tell the deacon that it will be the life of the people of your country, and I can't bear to be devastated. Now I will order the messenger to go to pay my respects. I hope the deacon will think about it. Whether it is war or peace, life or death, it is all here You have a quick thought! If the deacon knows that he is invincible and offers the city to surrender, then I will treat him sincerely. Otherwise, our army will attack the city, and the deacon will raise the white flag, and I will stop fighting and wait for future orders. Our army enters the city At that time, Yu Yan ordered the soldiers to commit no crimes. Once he heard that the people of your country were leaving, if anyone wanted to stay, I would also defend them, just like the Chinese. When a man is defeated in a war, he will make peace. There is a clear lesson in ancient times, and the wise men ridicule him. The people of your country have traveled far across the ocean to manage the island of Taiwan. They have no choice but to seek a way of self-defense. The rest of the country is strong. However, Taiwan, the land of China, has been occupied by your country for a long time, and now I have come to claim it. , then the land belongs to me, and the things that Zhenyao is not in a hurry, listen and return. If the deacon does not listen, you can raise the red flag and ask for a fight. , not until the end of the day, only the deacon will plan it."

Captain Debelle led a group of officers and company staff to stand at the door, nervously waiting for the two governors to make a decision.

This capitulation letter was sent by a captured Dutch sailor.Shou Han made it very clear in his letter that within two days, he had to either surrender or fight.If you surrender, tear off the red pennant flag on the top of the city within two days and replace it with a white flag, if you want to die.Just keep flying the red flag!

"Gentlemen, General Lee's letter is here. What are you going to do?"

Putmans made up his mind, and he was going to take this letter from Shou Han to persuade him to surrender as a signal: the South China Army was not prepared enough, or was unwilling to stay under the fortified city for a long time under the city of Zeelandia.Eager to resolve the war here, so I wrote to persuade you to surrender.

"We will not surrender!"

"We must hold on until the moment of final victory!"

A clamor echoed in the governor's office. [

The next day, Captain Debelle, as the messenger of the reply, left the city of Zeelandia with a white flag. In addition to sending the reply, his mission was to observe the movement of the Southern Central Army and spy on the military aircraft.

"Even if it's life-threatening. However, due to the responsibility and honor, the inferior must continue to guard the city of Zeelandia until the moment when the general's army enters the city."

Although Putmans's reply was very polite, the meaning in the words was that the man is here.Attack the city if you have the ability!

Shou Han looked at the reply letter and smiled, "The two governors misunderstood my kindness. It's okay, after sunrise tomorrow, we'll meet each other on the battlefield!"

"see a visitor out!"

On the way back to the city, Captain Debelle worked hard to observe the barracks and artillery positions along the way, and he was pleasantly surprised to find out.Many soldiers were moving their cannons, and the livestock pulling the cannons on the road between the positions and the barracks let out a roar, presumably due to fatigue.

"Are you sure they're moving the artillery?"

"Your Excellency! When I left the city, I intentionally counted the number of artillery pieces in the artillery position to the east. When I came back, I counted them again. There was a gap of seven artillery pieces between the two times. This is only one morning's figure!"

Captain Debelle truthfully reported what he saw and heard to Governor Deborah.

Everyone ushered in a new round of sunrise amidst surprise, suspicion, and apprehension.

Sure enough, as Captain Debelle said, the artillery fire on the city of Zeelandia was much sparser than the previous few days.

However, it seems that the artillery fire on Chixian City has become more and more urgent!

"General, the villain has a plan to offer. It can make the army take down Chixian City without bloodshed."

Shou Han looked at the leader of the Pingpu tribe in front of him. If it wasn't for his appearance and the tattoos that were accidentally exposed due to the friction of his clothes, he would almost think that this guy was a Zhangzhou native who was reclaiming wasteland in Taiwan.

"Leader Balai, tell me. If it is beneficial for the army to conquer Chixian City, official positions and property. This commander will not hesitate!" [

"Marshal, the villain was once coerced by the Dutch, and he went to the cities of Chikan and Zeelandia. The Dutch have been operating the city of Zeelandia for a long time, and there are wells and granaries, etc., and Chikan city is Not long after it was newly built, many facilities are not complete, especially drinking water for humans and animals, which depend on the water source outside the city every day. If the commander-in-chief can send someone to cut off the water source in the city, the city will be at your fingertips in just a few days!"

Therefore, under the suggestion of the head of Bale, the guard ordered the middle camp of the Phoenix Camp and the Guards Battalion to dispatch a sentry force to follow the head of Bale into the mountain to cut off the water source of Chijian City. Some of the cannons in Lanzhe City were taken down for maintenance and repairs, "Ze Lanzhe is the last hope of the Red Maoyi, so we can't give him up on this hope!"

Under the repeated bombardment of more than a hundred artillery pieces ranging from cron guns, mortar guns, twelve-pound guns, and eight-pound guns, the hundreds of defenders in Chixian City were able to sustain themselves at first, and from time to time they moved towards the city. A few shots were fired back from outside, and the two field artillery pieces were torn apart. The gunner was hit by the cannon and died on the spot.

However, in the afternoon, the soldiers in Chixian City felt bad.

I don't know when the trickle in the past stopped!

According to modern medical statistics, 70.00% of human life, which is mainly composed of carbohydrates, is water.If you do not eat food for seven days while ensuring drinking water, you can still have vital signs, but if you cannot guarantee drinking water, you will die in at most three days.

What's more, in such a tense situation where the artillery fire is rumbling and the cannons are constantly passing by the ears and above the head, people's demand for water is much higher than usual.

It was found that the water source was cut off, and the soldiers became restless!

Hearing the roars and curses of the Dutch soldiers from Chixian City during the shelling interval, Li Shouhan and his party, who were observing the movement of Chixian City from the artillery position, couldn't help laughing knowingly.

"Ma Su guarding the street pavilion back then, it seems that the water source was cut off by the old Sima before he died!"

The Balai headman on the side also showed a proud smile. From the moment he yelled and scolded, he was announced by the guard to be the mayor, and he was rewarded with twenty cattle and plowshares in his village. set.One hundred bolts of dyed cotton cloth and five hundred catties of refined salt!

"My lord, do you want the children to fuel the flames of the red-haired barbarians in Chixian City?"

Zhang Xiaohu is well versed in the principle of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things, he blinked narrowly and made suggestions to Shou Han.

What he meant was to use Chixian City as the target of the rocket.Use rockets to hit the morale of the defenders in the city again.No one can resist the excitement of coming to this world of ice and fire!

"Forget it! Right now, I have the initiative. As long as you arrange artillery fire and keep bombarding the defenders in the city, I believe they will surrender soon!"

Shou Han rejected Zhang Xiaohu's proposal without thinking. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Shi Lang standing behind Zhang Xiaohu, dealing with this child.Shou Han was still a little worried.For things like rockets, if you can keep them secret, keep it as secret as possible!He didn't want his ship burned by rockets fired by others.

Facts have proved that this group of Dutch people did not have the spirit of Shangganling at all. They persisted for less than a day. Early the next morning, a second lieutenant of the Dutch army came down from the city holding a white flag.

"Water! Give me water!"

He was just pushed to the ground by several South China Army soldiers.Searching to see if he was carrying a weapon, the second lieutenant didn't bother to resist, but kept shouting hoarsely in his half-baked Chinese.

A captain stopped his soldiers from searching the courier, and untied a water bottle from his waist and handed it to him. The second lieutenant poured it into his mouth regardless of the decency and demeanor of an officer in the past.

"How is the situation in Chixian City?"

The heads of the inspection office and the investigation room began to interrogate the courier in the tent.

"Since yesterday afternoon, there has been no water in the city!"

The second lieutenant "licked" his lips.Start to explain the situation in the city.

The supply of drinking water and other domestic water in the city is entirely dependent on a few streams outside the city, and the only domestic water reserves are just a few water tanks. How can we protect the hundreds of Dutch soldiers and thousands of black ghost soldiers in the castle? , The needs of the natives for auxiliary soldiers?

Therefore, only military officers and businessmen can be given priority.

However, since last night, attacks and infighting against those officers, businessmen, and priests who have water to moisten their throats have continued to occur.The native soldiers attacked the merchants, and the nigger soldiers attacked the native soldiers, and the Dutch soldiers snatched the poor saliva from the nigger soldiers.

As for the wounded and sick soldiers, they could only groan and groan, crying and calling the names of their parents, mothers, wives and lovers.One or two lines of tears flowed from the eye sockets, losing the precious moisture in the body.

"How much is the food reserve in the city?"

Muyagou suddenly asked this question directly.

"Flour and salt should be enough to feed the whole city for at least half a year. If you count the rice, it will be enough until next Christmas. But, sir. Have you ever seen people living in the desert eat? "

"Tell me about the conditions for your surrender!" Niu Qiandao threw his head back and threw a sentence to the messenger with his nostrils upturned.

However, the conditions put forward by the messenger made the three secret service chiefs jump out of their chairs in anger even though they usually boasted that they could control their emotions.

"Our request is this: allow us to choose whether to go to Zeelandia or to go elsewhere, allow us to take everything we can take, allow us to keep our weapons for self-defense, allow us to give to the natives and Chinese Clear the debt. To show our sincerity, we will hand over all the cannons in Chikan City and allow General Lee's troops to enter Chikan City and other fortresses..."

"Come on!"

The courier greedily replenished the water in his body with tea, and chattered endlessly about the surrender conditions of the Dutch army in the red city, but the so-called surrender conditions had already made the three spy chiefs, the three corpses, jump violently.Muyagou, who was the most hypocritical and calm on weekdays, yelled and called in his subordinates from outside.

"Slap this guy back with a stick every step of the way! If you miss a stick, you will make up for it yourself!"

The soldiers in charge of the investigation room picked up the military sticks in their hands and beat them without thinking. They also heard the bullshit surrender conditions outside the tent just now. How could this be surrender?It clearly means that I have fought you here with disdain, and I will fight you again in another place.And it still has a proud face.

Damn!We followed the generals who fought south and north, killed east and west, how many kings and sultans knelt down at our feet and begged for their lives, how many heads can you red-haired barbarians have? !

beat!

The army batons rained down on the second lieutenant, and he fell to the ground with his head in his arms, rolling and crying.

"Okay. Let a few people drag him to the edge of the city, let their people take him back, and tell the people in the city that this is our answer to their surrender conditions!"

Hearing the sound, the defenders who rushed over heard the surrender conditions of the defenders of Chixian City, and their faces were also frosty.

In front of my eyes, I saw several alpine native soldiers pulling the messenger to the top of the city with a rope like a fat pig.Huang Lei waved the red "red" command flag in his hand, "Attention all guns! Fire!"

The cannons of the mortars drew a beautiful curve across the city wall and landed in the castle, and the cannons of the Cron guns made dull and loud noises on the outer walls of the thick city walls, just like the battering hammers and stone throwing machines used in Europe in the Middle Ages It also smashed against a point of the city wall.

And those twelve-pound and eight-pound artillery were unscrupulously replaced with hail, and kept bombarding parts and objects that might have signs of life on the top of the city.

After a round of artillery fire.The city fell into a deathly silence, only a few parts hit by shelling, the flames crackled, and the cheerful tongue of fire licked the wooden doors, ladders, and floors.

"The first artillery of each battalion and each sentry is the artillery on duty. It is on duty for an hour. After an hour, it is replaced by the second artillery on duty! The personnel take turns to rest, each gun is replenished, and the temperature of the barrel is checked! Measure the shooting parameters. Yuan!"

Sparse but incessant gunfire sounded around Chixian City, and it rang all night.

The next day, it was morning again.

A lieutenant worked hard to sort out the black and white military uniforms that had been tainted by gunpowder smoke and fire, and appeared at the top of the city holding a white flag.

"Don't fire! I'm here to negotiate! About our surrender!"

"The question of your surrender. My lord's meaning is very clear and simple. It is one thing, all lay down their weapons and surrender on condition! In this way, our army can guarantee the safety of your lives and personal belongings. Otherwise, the two days of today and tomorrow Within a short period of time, we will capture Chixian City!"

This time, the three spy chiefs were not at all angry with the representative who came to negotiate, and they didn't even bring a glass of water.The representative was greeted only by a group of glaring soldiers.

Just talk if you talk, just fight if you fight.

Just when Mu Yagou, Niu Qiandao and Bao Zhongchen announced the position of the South China Army to the Dutch lieutenant, Huang Leiting still commanded the gunners to bombard Chixian City in turn.

Those artillery boys had a good time.

On weekdays, there are few opportunities to practice various artillery tactics, such as salvos of artillery fire in units of sentries, and single-cannon clearing.The cannons fired alternately, and various tactics and shooting patterns were used by the soldiers on Chixian City.

The original bricks and stones on the city wall were gradually uncovered by numerous cannons, exposing the layer of rammed earth inside. The lieutenant knew very well that such a rammed earth wall might not be able to withstand several rounds of artillery fire, and it would be destroyed. The gap was opened.

After that things are very simple.

A large number of Orientals roared into the fortress, just like the Turks rushed into Constantinople.

But fortunately, today I am talking about the surrender on behalf of the defenders of Chixian City.

"I would like to ask General Lee to treat the merchants, priests and other personnel in the fort with civilian treatment."

"impossible!"

Wood Tooth Dog refused.

"In our eyes, there are only the living who can fight, the dead who can't fight, and the wounded who have lost the ability to fight! Those merchants of yours, who knows if they "operated" artillery to bombard us? Those in Taoist robes Didn’t the pastor encourage the soldiers to charge towards our army’s positions? It seems that they also participated in the activities of treating wounded and sick soldiers?!”

"These behaviors provide direct or indirect assistance to military operations! They are also combatants!"

And Bao Zhongchen pulled the lieutenant outside the tent, pointed in one direction, "Look!"

Dozens of four-wheeled transport vehicles loaded with wooden barrels meandered in the direction of Chixian City.The lieutenant knew the goods, of course, he clearly saw the sign on the wooden barrel that prohibits fireworks, "This is the gunpowder prepared by our army to break through Chixian City. Please go back and tell the manager in the city to do it! The decision is just before sunset today, and our army will close the camp gate after sunset, even if your army wants to surrender, it will be too late!"

The lieutenant hurriedly rolled and crawled across the Nanzhong Army's position, and returned to the city to report.

The soldiers at the front heard a commotion in Chixian City. After a few shouts and the sound of firecrackers, the gate of Chixian City opened slowly. The Dutch flag on the tower was marked with the letter v The blue, white, and red East India Company flags in series of o and three "colors" slowly fell, and a white flag temporarily made of bed sheets was raised.A group of dejected native soldiers walked out supporting each other.

Behind the native auxiliary soldiers came black ghost soldiers as black as charcoal, and behind them were Dutchmen who tried to maintain their manners.

After walking past a group of South China Army soldiers with guns and knives, dozens of huge wooden barrels filled with clear water appeared in front of these soldiers.

"water!"

In the face of tremendous physical pressure, people could no longer maintain discipline and demeanor, and all of them rushed forward to drink water.

The South Central Army quickly rushed into Chixian City to take over the city defenses, repaired and cleared the fortifications, checked the materials and property in the warehouse, and turned this Dutch fortress on the main island of Taiwan into a command post to eliminate the Dutch!

The Dutch stronghold on the main island of Taiwan was wiped out by the South China Army!Only the besieged city of Zeelandia remained.

"It's over! Chixian City was taken by General Li in less than three days. In this way, he can concentrate all his forces to deal with us. I hope our reinforcements can arrive sooner!"

Seeing this scene in Chixian City, Putmans and De Bourr, who were trapped in Zeelandia City, felt more and more cold.

They looked south, trying to see the sails in the distance. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.)
