The army stretching in the forest at this moment is simply not enough for the 14 troops when it landed.
It is also unclear how many are scattered in the forest.
The whole forest is infested with venomous snakes and ants of every kind, again beyond the recognition of even the most knowledgeable entomologists.
Although inconspicuous, it is very deadly and hard to guard against.
At the same time, a miasma that made people want to vomit was always lingering in the forest, and the eyes became black after smelling it for a long time.
But all the soldiers endured it.
"Stab!"
The swaying branch was scraped off, creating a gash on the soldier's face, and the smell of blood made the mosquitoes all over the forest ecstatic.
The leather armor on his body has long since changed color, and the parts without the protection of the leather armor have turned into rags.
However, all the people are still moving forward without saying a word.
go ahead!
In the oppressive atmosphere, a more and more murderous atmosphere gradually permeated the forest, and the temperature of the entire forest seemed to be a little lower...
The sound of insects that were still around was completely gone.
Except for the sound of their footsteps and breathing, the whole jungle was dead silent.
And as the setting sun approached, the sky swallowed the last ray of light, and the temperature in the entire forest did indeed begin to drop.
However, the sound of clanging footsteps remained the same, and it became louder and louder.
"Tap Tap!!!"
It's a pity that the sound of all this was blocked by the dense jungle, and no one noticed it except for the dormant animals in the forest.
The city of Batavia outside the forest is even more unclear.
And at this moment, no one in Batavia city cared about the forest at all, they only cared about their own life and death.
"Enemy warships blockaded the bay."
"The enemy battleship is rushing towards the port!!!"
"Battleship! More and more battleships are coming!!"
Watchtower sentries brought back news that terrified the entire city of Batavia.
Everyone at this moment understands what this means.
The invincible Dutch East India Fleet has been defeated!
But their enemies are impatiently preparing to attack Batavia City.
For a while, no one cared about the life and death of Governor Cohen.
The East India Company board of directors in the city immediately accelerated the organization of the port's defensive positions.
"Immediately light a fire in the harbor to provide sight for the artillery."
"Citizen shooter? Let the citizen shooter enter the defensive position."
"Let the [-] native troops line up at the port immediately, and do it immediately."
With rich experience in war, they understand that even if they stick to the Batavia Fortress, they must face the enemy who is about to land at this moment.
Win or lose, this battle must be fought.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and countless fires were burning in front of the port.
It can't be said that it is as bright as day, but at least the field of vision is there, allowing the musketeers and gunners to see the targets entering the port.
Just when all the defensive preparations were coming to an end, the sentinel came galloping on horseback in panic, shouting all the way:
"Here we come, the enemy is coming!"
In fact, there was no need for the sentries to remind them. Everyone in the port position had already heard the trembling sound of thousands of sails being blown by the strong wind.
Boom... Boom... Boom! ! !
It was like a giant beast in the darkness grinding its teeth, making one's scalp numb, and the two were fighting.
All the people on the ground immediately dropped their things and got into the ground. They all held their breath, opened their eyes wide and looked towards the sea, and gradually clenched their hands holding weapons...
Chapter 98
The waves continued to hit the port, making a crashing sound.
Quiet and leisurely.
The entire harbor has never been so quiet as it is today.
But on the defense position of Batavia port, everyone's eyes widened in unison, their breathing gradually became short of breath, and their palms were sweating.
Boom... Boom... Boom! ! !
The trembling sound of thousands of sails is like the teeth of giant beasts, adding a bit of horror and creepiness to this peaceful night.
Almost everyone can feel their heart beating more and more violently.
Plop, plop! !
The enemy has defeated the governor.
It even defeated their kingdom fleet.
How could they not be afraid?
However, the more you are afraid, the more you have to face it.
Behind is the home of all of them, all their wealth is here, if they leave, then they will have nothing.
It's just that this weird waiting was too much a test of everyone's patience and perseverance. Immediately, someone kept clamping their legs, and the hands holding the weapon tightened and tightened.
26 It is clear that there is a cool or even cool sea breeze, but most people are sweating profusely.
"coming!"
I don't know whose words resounded abruptly, but the ordinary words made everyone's hearts rise.
Although they couldn't see anything, everyone could clearly feel that the sea ahead was a little deeper.
Immediately, everyone felt awe-inspiring. They didn't need anyone to remind them. Everyone understood.
enemy!
"boom!"
A cannon exploded abruptly, the orange-red flame sprayed the flames, and a cannonball whizzed across the defensive position like a shooting star.
A thousand waves were aroused at once.
It's like a certain condition is triggered.
The next moment, there was a sudden movement of landslides and ground cracks from the entire defensive position.
boom!boom!boom!
Dozens of cannons of various sizes and types bombarded almost one after another, and it didn't work to let the officers nearby shout and stop.
The people on the defensive position covered their ears in pain and opened their mouths to curse, but everything was completely covered by the roar.
Boom! !
The artillery flames of more than 50 artillery pieces instantly illuminated the defensive position, and covered the harbor in front like a rain of meteor fire crazily.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Huge roars suddenly erupted one after another, and everyone on the battlefield showed expressions of excitement.
"Hit it! Hit it!"
It's just that gradually everyone fell silent, doubts appeared on their faces, and there was some uneasiness in their hearts.
quiet!
Deathly silence.
"Why didn't you hear the screams?" A young citizen gunman expressed the doubts in most people's minds.
However, this is destined to be a question that no one can answer him. The next moment the trembling sound of the collapse of the sails sounded again, and everyone was suddenly nervous again.
The enemy is at it again.
The familiar dark color reappeared, and there was another burst of violent shelling in an instant.
Boom! ! !
However, the ending was the same as before. They hit the ship, and it was obvious that the timber fragments from the deck floated to the shore and were salvaged by the lined up native army.
what's going on?
Such a strange situation gave most people a chill in their hearts.
The unknown is fear!
At this moment, if it is daytime, they can see it.
On the Batavia Bay, [-] warships stayed on the sea surface without any movement at all.
In front of the battleship, there were captured Dutch navy warships and some of Zhu Youchen's damaged warships.
However, without exception, all are air battleships.
At this moment, one after another warship was fully sailed by the sailors under Zhu Youchen's command, and they were continuously sent towards the bay port by the sea breeze.
Batavia Harbor did hit warships, but all of them were abandoned and useless warships.
Gradually consume the artillery of the port position to create conditions for the real landing.
What's more, the 14 troops at the moment are not yet in place, and they still have plenty of time.
Boom! ! !
Boom! !
The artillery was roaring, and the shells were being consumed. One after another, the abandoned warships were smashed, sank and stranded near the port.
The muffled thunder-like sound stretched out and continued to spread into the distance.
But the people on the port position became more and more silent, and the atmosphere became more oppressive. Everyone looked at each other with deep anxiety and apprehension.
It's just that the Dutch are not stupid, and soon found out the truth of the matter, and suddenly the whole position was full of Dutch curses.
"Damn bastards, they're draining our artillery."
"Without artillery support, we can't last long."
"Bastard, they must be paralyzing us. While we are paralyzed, they rushed to the port."
"Damn it! If it wasn't for the night, how could we be fooled?"
"Shut up! Don't make noise."
After scolding tightly for a while, all the voices gradually subsided, on the contrary, everyone's heart became heavier and heavier.
Even if they know, there is nothing they can do.
What if the enemy rushed up while they were taking it lightly?
Behind is Batavia, they dare not bet!
For a while, the entire port defense position suddenly sank a lot, but the artillery was still rumbling and firing non-stop.
Finally, the remaining hundred battleships were all turned into wrecks under their sharp artillery fire, lying reclined in front of the port.
Under the light of sporadic fires in the port, everyone who watched was extremely gloomy, casting a shadow over everyone's heart.
Just half a day ago, these warships were all warships of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but now they are all wrecks.
At this moment, it was even used by their enemies, and the wreckage was sunk by their own hands.
