Chapter 1021 Recovering Taiwan
The most critical point in fighting across the sea is to send personnel ashore so that the fleet can find a safe haven.

Otherwise, when a storm comes over with people on the boat, the fleet and the army will be buried in the bottom of the sea together.

The Zheng family had been operating in Taiwan for many years. It was not difficult to find out the topography and water patterns of Dayuan Bay. Zheng Chenggong had already planned to enter Dayuan Bay before departure.

In the dark night, the sea breeze was blowing, making Zheng Chenggong's robe bulge. Chen Zilong, who was beside him, heard his order, and said in surprise: "The surname of the country wants to wipe out the navy of the Hongmaoyi."

Let Gan Hui block the exit of the southern channel, and Zheng Jun's navy enters the bay from the northern channel. Isn't it just a plan to wipe out the Dutch fleet and catch a turtle in a urn.

Zheng Chenggong didn't feel it himself, but in his subconscious mind, he actually had no hope of regaining the lost ground, thinking that the Ming army was no longer able to compete with the Wei army.

That being the case, what should he do? He didn't even realize that he had already started to plan his way out.

On land, Wei Jun ruled the roost, but at sea he dominated. Wei Jun could not threaten him at sea. His competitors were the Netherlands and Spain.

Therefore, as soon as Zheng Chenggong came up, he wanted to wipe out all the Dutch fleet.

In this way, in the East China Sea and in Nanyang, the Navy is still the only one of his family.

Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly, "The Dutch ships are fast and powerful, but they also have disadvantages. They are big ships, and it is inconvenient to steer and maneuver in the bay. If they are blocked in the bay, their advantages will not be able to be used. I am sure. Annihilate them all."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and ordered, "Order Lin Fengying to go first, clear the red-haired barbarians on Wei Island on the northern line, and clear the way for the fleet."

On Beiweixian Island, the Red Maoyi built a fortress and deployed artillery to control the northern waterway.

On the fourth watch, the sound of the rising tide of the sea was rattling, a few torches were flickering in the fortress, and the Dutchman, who was dozing against the wall, let out a faint snoring sound.

There are many hidden reefs in the Northern Channel, and the water patterns are complicated. Only when the tide is high, the boat can barely sail, and other times the boat cannot pass. The Dutch themselves do not use this waterway, so the defense is very lax.

At this time, more than a dozen small boats rushed onto the beach. General Lin Feng of Zheng Jun led more than 500 people and got off the boat quietly. Under the cover of night, under the leadership of a guide, he slowly touched the fort.

The soldiers of the Ming army referred to the Wei army's selection camp, and also selected many elites from the army to form a small elite force for special operations.

Lin Feng led the Ming army to the bottom of the fort. Several soldiers took out flying hooks and threw them towards the fort suddenly. When the iron hook touched the wall, there was a crisp sound. The elite soldiers immediately pulled the ropes and climbed up, lightly. jumped on the fort wall.

After a while, more than 30 people went up to the wall, and the soldiers of the Ming army quietly touched the tower. Lin Feng kicked the door open and shouted, "Kill!"

……

The sudden burst of flames and the sound of "bang bang bang" muskets alarmed Fort Zeelandia, not far from the end of the northern line. Taiwan Governor Feuerberg was called from the room and rushed over In the chamber, many members of parliament have already arrived.

Felberg said with a sullen face, "Damn, who can tell me what happened?"

"Your Excellency, it should be the fortress on Beixianwei Island, which has been raided!" Kui said.

"Damn it, who dares to attack the company!" Kau Wu was furious.

Felberg complained, "It must be Zheng Sen's people. Damn it, I said earlier, don't provoke the Zheng family, but you just don't listen. You, Kaowu and Kuiyi, are responsible for this matter. The company You must compensate for the loss!"

Kau Wu was furious, "Your Excellency, this matter was passed by a vote."

Seeing this, Kui also said angrily: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility, but to think about how to deal with it!"

Felberg calmed down, "Yes, the Chinese are as numerous as bugs. During the battles of Penghu and Liuluowan, they were several times the company's soldiers and ships, and the company couldn't resist every time. Now we must The Chinese are kept out of the bay, you can't let them in."

Cow sneered, "The situation is different now than it was ten years ago. There are also many indigenous people, but under the new muskets, a round of guns will be defeated. I sent Captain Aldorp to lead [-] musketeers over there , to teach the Chinese a lesson.”

……

In the dark night, three hundred Dutch soldiers set off from Fort Zeelandia in a small boat and landed on Beiweixian Island. Captain Aldorp soon encountered the Ming army.

The Dutch captain immediately ordered the soldiers to line up in a row of guns, but was surprised to find that the Ming army on the opposite side also lined up in three rows, holding guns in both hands, pressing towards them.

"Dong dong dong dong", in the line of soldiers of the Wei army wearing red cloth face armor, the infantry drummer beat the war drum rhythmically, and the soldiers of the Ming army stepped on the drums and stepped forward neatly.

On the front line about 30 meters in front, with the sound of drums and bangs of footsteps, rows of bayonets fluctuated up and down regularly. More than 500 Ming army musketeers moved forward at a constant speed, which surprised the Dutch captain. stunned.

"Damn! How can the Chinese know our tactics!" Aldorp's pride and confidence were shocked, and he hurriedly ordered, "Raise your gun and prepare to shoot."

At this time, Chen Ze, the Ming general, waved his hand, "The whole army stops, raise their guns and shoot!"

"Boom!" When the soldiers of the Ming army stopped in unison and raised their muskets into a line, the four cannons on the two wings fired first, and the shells roared out, hitting the Dutch platoon.

Aldorp was stunned. The opponent not only had muskets, but also field artillery.

"Shoot!!" Chen Ze yelled with a knife every time he had time to surprise the Dutchman.

The soldiers of the Ming army in the front row actually rushed ahead of the Dutch and fired. The soldiers pulled the trigger forcefully, and the hammer clicked. More than a hundred muskets shook at the same time, and the muzzles of the guns sprayed out long flames and white smoke. .

The shot shot swept across the ground like a gust of wind, and shot into the Dutchman's body, bringing up a cloud of blood mist, and the Dutch musketeer immediately fell down.

The expression on the Dutchman's face instantly changed from surprise to panic.

The Thirty Years War and the Revolution in the Netherlands prompted rapid changes in the military power of the West, but the West has not made any significant progress in recent years.

These Dutch are not professional troops, but the Ming army has withstood the baptism of the Central Plains war, especially the appearance of the Wei army, which greatly promoted the innovation of the Ming army's equipment and tactics.

In the past, the Dutch used to shoot people with muskets. Today, when they met each other, they were stunned by the Ming army's muskets. The Dutch, who were completely unprepared, scattered in an instant.

While the Dutch musketeers were exchanging fire with the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong led nearly a thousand large and small warships, rushing in from the Luermen Waterway.

On the boat tower, Zheng Chenggong didn't talk nonsense, he drew his sword and roared, "Fire boat, charge me!"

In the bay, the sea is narrow, but hundreds of large Dutch ships have gathered. When the warships of the Ming army rushed in, the entire sea was full of ships, which seriously affected the maneuverability of the large Dutch ships.

On the surface of the sea, hundreds of small boats suddenly burst into flames, swarming towards the Dutch ship.

On Fort Zeelandia, the governor of Taiwan, Felberg, saw the spectacular scene, and his heart trembled, "It's over, the company is over~"
