Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 497 The Battle of Zelanja

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Ming army rushed into the city like a tide.

The Ming army that rushed into the city did not continue to rush into the inner city, but quickly occupied the city wall, and then the artillery followed up, and then set up the cannons on the city wall.

Although the city of Zeelandia was strong, the city walls were occupied, and the defense inside the city became useless.Moreover, the artillery of the Ming army fired at the inner city on the city wall, and the Dutch army could not form a counterattack at all.

In fact, the Dutch army should thank the artillerymen of the Ming army for firing aimlessly. If the Ming army let the Dutch army form a phalanx before firing, it is estimated that only one shelling would be needed, and all the Dutch troops in the city would die in the artillery fire.

There are not many Dutch troops stationed in Zeelandia, less than 3000 people, while the Ming army led by Sun Huacheng has about [-] people.

In terms of numbers, although the Dutch army is superior, the weapons of the Ming army are far superior to the Dutch army. In addition, there is no sign that the Ming army raided Zeelandia, and the Dutch army was completely unprepared.

In the end, the Ming army occupied the city of Zeelandia in a devastating manner, and the remaining Dutch army could only retreat to the Governor's Palace.

The Governor's Mansion is undoubtedly the tallest and strongest building in Zeelandia City. If you want to capture such a building, the best way is of course to use artillery to destroy the defenders inside.

But Sun Huacheng had received Sun Meng's order before leaving, that is, try not to kill the Dutch in the city, so it was difficult for Sun Huacheng to use artillery.

Of course, Sun Huacheng would never allow the infantry to attack by force. The Governor's Mansion is so strong that the infantry will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Sun Huacheng had already surrounded the governor's mansion. At this time, he had the chance to win, so he naturally didn't want unnecessary casualties.

Ordering someone to bring a chair, Sun Huacheng sat down firmly, and then said to a burly, dark-faced guard beside him, "Zhao Daniu, you have a loud voice, shout to Lao Tzu to make the people inside surrender."

"Mr. Sun, why are you shouting?" Zhao Daniu asked.

"Your mother, you can't even shout. Listen, if I say something, you shout it." Sun Huacheng said.

Zhao Daniu nodded hastily.

"Listen," Sun Huacheng said.

After hearing this, several soldiers around said hastily: "Please order, sir."

"Damn it, why are you making more trouble? I asked Zhao Daniu to shout." Sun Huacheng said angrily.

"Ah! Didn't talk to us!" All the soldiers said.

"Go away, talk too much, I will beat you." Sun Huacheng scolded.

All the soldiers hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes!"

After glaring at everyone, Sun Huacheng continued: "Zhao Daniu, you shout, you listen."

Zhao Daniu nodded, took two steps forward, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Listen."

"You are already surrounded. I have limited patience. If you want to survive, get out and surrender immediately. Otherwise, I will blow up your doghouse." Sun Huacheng said.

Zhao Daniu repeated it as he said.

"Your mother, I say Lao Tzu, and you also say Lao Tzu, you should say my master." Sun Huacheng scolded.

Zhao Daniu followed up and shouted: "Your mother, I said Lao Tzu, and you also said Lao Tzu, you should say my master."

"Fuck! Zhao Daniu, you bastard, you want to piss me off." Sun Huacheng scolded.

"Fuck! Zhao...Zhao...ah! You don't need to shout this sentence! Master, you should have said it earlier!" Zhao Daniu turned around and said.

Sun Huacheng scolded: "Go away!"

Hearing this, Zhao Daniu hurriedly stepped aside.

At this time, the governor's mansion was already in chaos.

De Bourr had already heard the first shelling outside the city. Although he didn't know what happened, De Bourr quickly calmed down and ordered the commander of the city defense to lead the troops to counterattack.

However, the ferocity of the enemy's attack was completely beyond De Bour's expectations. The Dutch army in the city could not organize an effective counterattack.

In addition, until now, the Dutch army does not even know who the enemy is.

Of course, De Bauer and others heard the shouting outside the Governor's Palace. Although there are many Dutch people who have lived in Taiwan for many years and often deal with Chinese people, they can understand some Chinese, but Zhao Daniu speaks a lot of local dialect. I don't know what Zhao Daniu meant.Fortunately, there was an interpreter in the Governor's Mansion. After a long time of effort, I finally understood that the people outside were asking them to surrender.

For the Dutch army, it doesn't matter whether they surrender or not, because most of the soldiers in this army are mercenaries from the East India Company.

It's not that mercenaries have no loyalty. In normal combat, the loyalty of mercenaries is actually very high, but when there is no hope of victory, or when reinforcements cannot arrive, mercenaries rarely do A senseless sacrifice.

If the Dutch fleet hadn't gone to sea, these people would have resisted desperately and waited for the fleet's rescue. But now that the fleet has sailed to Batavia, it is impossible to know that something happened to Zeelandia.And Zeelandia was surrounded, so they couldn't send ships out to ask for help. Even if they could send ships out, it was not certain whether they could catch up with the fleet.Even if they can catch up, it may take several days before the fleet returns.

Judging from the current situation, the enemy will definitely not wait for such a long time.

Sighing slightly, De Bauer said to the interpreter, "Go and ask about their identities."

The interpreter nodded, turned and walked to the window, and asked loudly, "Where are you from? Why are you attacking us?"

"Huh? This person seems to be from our Daming." Sun Huacheng wondered.

Then Sun Huacheng called out, "What's your name? Are you in charge?"

The interpreter hastily said: "He Zhixin, I am the interpreter of the Governor's Mansion."

"What does a general interpreter do? Can you be the master?" Sun Huacheng continued.

The interpreter hurriedly said: "I'm just a messenger. The governor wants to know your identities. You can't let us surrender in a daze."

Sun Huacheng scolded: "Damn, he still doesn't know who we are after cooperating for a long time. You tell the governor that I am the army of Ming Dynasty, let him surrender quickly, otherwise, I will blow up this place."

The interpreter was taken aback when he heard this, and turned to De Bourr and said, "It's Ming's official army."

"Ming army? Why did they attack us? When did they arrive in Formosa (another name for Taiwan by the Dutch, which means a beautiful place)?" De Bauer was surprised.

Hearing the interpreter's report, Sun Huacheng's eyes widened and he said, "Damn, he doesn't know why I beat him? What did he do that he doesn't know? My superintendent didn't warn him not to intervene with our Daming and What about Zheng Zhilong? Let him stop talking nonsense and come out and surrender quickly, otherwise I will be rude."

After hearing Sun Huacheng's words, De Bauer and the garrison commander exchanged glances, and they both smiled wryly at the same time.

At this moment, both of them guessed that after they sent people to contact Da Ming to deal with Zheng Zhilong together, Da Ming sent a whole army to enter Formosa secretly, and the time must have been when the Ming army entered Penghu a few days ago.

Thinking that the Ming army entered Formosa for nearly half a month, but I didn't realize it, it was really unfair to be attacked by someone.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the Ming army outside is not easy to talk to. It is impossible to negotiate with them. Why don't we surrender first and then negotiate with their government." The commander of the garrison said.

De Bower sighed softly: "That's the only way to go, but I have to tell them that we can surrender, but they have to guarantee the safety of the lives and property of the Dutch. Otherwise, we will fight to the death."

The commander nodded and waved to the interpreter.

The interpreter hurriedly passed on De Bauer's words to Sun Huacheng.

Sun Huacheng was furious when he heard the words: "You tell the governor that I can guarantee their safety, but their property belongs to our Ming Dynasty and must be handed over and confiscated."

Hearing this, De Bourr trembled with anger: "Bandits, bandits, our property is earned through legitimate trade, why is it their Ming's property? They are robbery."

After listening to the report, Sun Huacheng replied: "Whose property he says doesn't matter, it will be decided by my family's superintendent."

De Bourr replied: "Then I request a meeting with the governor of Ming Dynasty."

Sun Huacheng replied: "I'm used to his faults, what about him, he said he would meet with our supervisor, believe it or not, I will kill him."

De Bauer couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words: "Isn't this man a brain? How dare he be the master of their governor?"

"My lord governor, I think we can surrender first. This person is ignorant, and it is useless to talk to such a person. I don't think their governor will be like him. He will definitely meet you when the time comes." The commander hurriedly said .

De Bourgh sighed and said, "For the sake of everyone's safety, this is the only way to go. Forget it, order the soldiers to put down their weapons."

Following the order of the garrison commander, the gate of the Governor's Mansion opened, and Dutch soldiers lined up to leave the Governor's Mansion, followed by officials at all levels of the Governor's Mansion, the servants and their wives.

Sun Huacheng and all the soldiers were surprised when they saw the Dutch people walking out of the mansion one by one.

"Damn it, I didn't pay attention to what they looked like during the war just now, his grandma, no wonder everyone called them red-haired ghosts, they really fucking look like ghosts." Sun Huacheng shouted.

"Boss, are those women? Why do they look like this? Damn, they still have hair on their faces." A soldier murmured.

Sun Huacheng scolded: "Fuck, isn't this fucking nonsense? You can tell they are women when you look at their butts and buttocks, but this appearance is too fucking mixed up. That three dogs, you didn't Do you want me to reward you with a woman? In a while, I will reward you with two."

San Gouzi hurriedly said: "Okay! Master, please spare the little one, this red-haired ghost's woman looks like a ghost, who the hell dares to want it!"

Sun Huacheng said: "You said this yourself. Don't rely on me for not counting what you say. Who else wants a woman? Tell me quickly."

"No, sir, keep it for yourself." All the soldiers hurriedly said.

"Fuck! You don't dare to ask for it, and I don't even dare!" Sun Huacheng shouted.

All the soldiers laughed in unison.

Suddenly, Sun Huacheng saw the interpreter just now, and hurriedly waved to him: "Who is that, come here."

The interpreter ran over quickly: "What orders does the military master have?"

"Tell me, who is their governor? Bring him to meet me." Sun Huacheng said.
