Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 419 You Want to Negotiate My Sneak Attack

On the flagship of the Daming Navy, Taichang and Sun Chuanting stood in front of the huge telescope and carefully watched the battle situation.

Zhang Zhiji, Xu Yunzhen and Yuan Shu stood behind and rubbed their hands anxiously.

No way, the window on the front of the flagship is only so wide, and a total of three sets of barrel binoculars with brackets can be placed, and the four staff generals can only share one, and each of them stepped forward to look at it for a while.

Now it was Sun Quan's turn, and the other three naturally could only stand behind and stare blankly.

To be honest, the Dutchman's reaction was a bit confusing.

The twenty Aegis ships on both sides leaned forward and bombarded for several rounds, but they didn't fire back!
What is going on here?
Could it be that the range of the Dutch's artillery is not enough?
impossible!

The two-hundred-pound small cannons on the gunboats have a range of two or three miles, and the giant cannons on the bastion probably have a range of more than five or six miles.

Therefore, he did not dare to let the Dragon Fang Warship and the Spike Fang Warship approach within ten miles of the port.

Taichang turned the binoculars and scanned the fort on the bastion slowly, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then turned his head and asked: "Bo Ya, are they afraid that we will launch a fierce attack from the front?"

This is the only explanation, otherwise people will definitely turn their guns to confront the Aegis ship.

Sun Chuanting heard the words, nodded slowly and said: "It should be, it is very troublesome to turn the muzzle of their coastal defense guns fixed on the fort, and at such a long distance, they probably don't know how many gods we have. Shield ship, it seems that we frightened them by mistake."

This is indeed possible, because the large and small ships seen at a distance of more than ten miles are just a bunch of black spots.

Large warships are larger black spots, and small warships are smaller black spots.

They also seized a lot of Dutch binoculars. They really couldn't see what the warships at such a distance looked like.

If they mistakenly think that the more than 60 gunboats in the front are Aegis ships, they will not dare to turn their guns to bombard the [-] Aegis ships on both sides, because once they turn their guns, so many warships in the front are very likely to be destroyed. Hurry up!
Taichang nodded slightly, and then thought about it: "If they don't fight back, twenty Aegis ships should be able to flatten the walls on both sides of the first-floor bastion in half a day. At that time, we may consider a night attack. It was pitch black at night, and the infantry touched it before they had time to turn their cannons and bombard them.”

Sun Chuanting thought about it seriously, and then asked: "Your Majesty, if they turn their guns around and fire back, can we consider launching an attack from the front?"

Not a bad idea either.

Originally, they didn't plan to attack from the front. After all, hundreds of cannons are facing the front. If the Spike warship rushes up, it will probably be sunk a lot. Several or even dozens of ships.

Cannonballs weighing twenty or thirty catties are no joke, and wooden ships can't bear them at all.

However, if people turn their guns to bombard the Aegis ships on both sides, it will be different.

As long as they rushed fast, they would have no time to turn the muzzle of the gun around.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's see when the time comes, if they turn most of the artillery muzzles to bombard the Aegis ship, we will launch an attack from the front."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiji quickly took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to rest and let us watch for you?"

It is probably the first time this guy has seen thousands of cannons fired at once, and his heart itch is unbearable.

All right, there's nothing to do right now anyway, let them watch more actual combat scenes.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then confessed: "Well, look carefully, if there is any situation, remember to squeak."

After finishing speaking, he patted Sun Chuanting on the shoulder and said, "Bo Ya, let's go, let's have some tea, the arrow stacks on the city wall will not be cut down in a short while."

Uh, this command operation is too easy, right?
There is still time for tea!

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, and then followed Taichang to the table beside him.

Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen leaned forward excitedly, turned the binoculars, and kept scanning.

Taichang originally thought that the Dutch would at least wait until the city walls and arrow stacks were riddled with holes before they would react. He never thought that he had just sat down and ordered someone to make tea before he had time to drink it. , Zhang Zhiji shouted: "Your Majesty, they have sent a ship over here."

what?
Taichang got up quickly, stepped forward, and took a look.

What's the situation?
He was a little dazed.

A small boat slowly rowed out of the river in the middle of the port, and the people on board were holding up white flags and waving vigorously there!

The meaning of people raising the white flag is definitely not surrender. They probably want to negotiate or seek peace.

It's just the beginning of the fight, so you want to ask for peace?

Why are the Dutch so stretched?
Sun Chuanting stepped forward to take a look, but suddenly said: "Your Majesty, they probably don't have enough infantry to defend the city!"

Yup!

Gao Wenlu and Verhofen they captured were confessed, and the East India Company only had a total of more than [-] mercenaries.

And there are hundreds of mercenaries on an ordinary warship.

They have sunk and captured forty ordinary warships, that's more than 4000 people!

Also, each of their armed merchant ships needs at least a dozen or so mercenaries, and 150 armed merchant ships have 2000 people gone.

In other words, excluding the Dutch navy, Batavia only had four or five thousand mercenaries stationed there.

This Batavia is also divided into four parts, with two bastions in front and cities on both sides in the back, each part must be garrisoned!
In other words, each of their cities and bastions probably only had more than 1000 people stationed there.

This little man is a fart!

Taichang turned the binoculars to scan carefully, and then said decisively: "Bo Ya, this is a good opportunity, there are indeed not many people stationed on their bastion, we can take advantage of their peacemaking opportunity to let the pawns suddenly launch a sneak attack from both sides, Take down the two front bastions in one fell swoop."

Uh, is this a good chance?

Sun Chuanting was quite puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, why did we launch a sneak attack?"

Taichang pointed to the small black dot that was slowly drawn over and said, "How long do you think it will take for the person they sent to negotiate to come over?"

this!

They seemed to be afraid that they would misunderstand, so they didn't even send the clippers, and it was probably a small fishing boat that rowed over.

How long does it take a small fishing boat to row more than ten miles?

Sun Chuanting reckoned, "It will take at least two quarters of an hour for them to cross over."

This is the opportunity!

Taichang asked again: "You said, if we pretend to negotiate with them and stop the Aegis ships on both sides after a short talk, will they think that we may accept their summation, and will they be paralyzed by this? "

This is very possible.

Sun Chuanting thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are still more than ten miles away on both sides. They can't run in this time!"

This is simple.

Taichang said without hesitation: "We only need to send 3000 Spike warships to pick up [-] elites. There are only [-] to [-] people in their two bastions, and [-] elites from the Shenji Battalion are enough to rush up. "

That being said, it's really a good opportunity.

At that time, two hundred Spike warships on each side suddenly rushed past with the elite of the Shenji Battalion, and they didn't have time to turn their guns.

As for how to rush to the first floor of the bastion, it is actually very simple.

The height of the first floor of the bastion seems to be less than two feet, and it is enough to tie the one-foot-long ladders in the Aegis ship two by two.

Sun Chuanting heard the words, nodded again and again and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is indeed a good opportunity for a sneak attack."

The four Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen were stunned when they heard the words.

They sent people to negotiate, and they took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!
That's not good?
