"A land warfare company is gone, and our reinforcements are gone. ※%," Paul Duradnius stood on the Chitsch Castle and looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground on the distant coast. These people were supposed to enter the city to strengthen their defense, but now they have become prisoners as soon as they get ashore.

"We have the worst plan. The city cannot hold on to it. The food there must be burned. Retrieve people back to the castle." said an officer.

Outside the Chichui Castle is Chichui Town. Chichui Castle is equivalent to the inner city, while the city is equivalent to the outer city. However, the city has no wall to guard, only a chest wall and a fence. Inside the castle is the garrison, while the city is the residences and houses of staff and soldiers, as well as market shops, clinics, schools, warehouses and stables.

The most important thing in the town is the tens of thousands of tons of grain in the granary.

"Okay, I won't give it to the Ming army if I burn the grain." Paul nodded. "If I burn the grain, let them come back."

Originally, Paul, Debaoer and Van Bron discussed the plan against the enemy to shrink the troops to Relio Lan, Sicao Sea Fort, and Chicang. As a result, the Sicao Sea Fort was lost as soon as the battle started.

The Ming army headed straight for Chi Chi, and a company sent by Reliran was gone again. The company that Paul and his men, who had been ambushing the town, have now become lonely.

But Paul was a little late for this order. When he wanted to burn the food and withdraw the troops, the Ming army's vanguard had already entered the town.

The soldiers who entered the town first followed the combat plan and rushed to the warehouses first. As soon as the Dutch soldiers came out, they happened to meet the nine-headed bird on the long street of the town.

Two soldiers suddenly met.

"Fire!" As soon as General Baima Yu Jiahe found the Dutch, he immediately raised his gun and fired, and ordered the gun while firing. When the nine-headed bird soldiers heard the order, they raised their guns and shot. The sound of gunfire continued, and the Dutch fell down immediately. The Dutch dropped a few bodies and quickly looked for cover on both sides of the street, and then shot.

Two soldiers and horses were coming and going, and gunfire kept coming.

"Sir, let me lead a team of brothers to surround them from the side." A flag general asked. The Dutchman had many muskets and his marksmanship was very accurate. Several brothers were injured.

"Okay, you bring a bannerman to the left to encircle, and Zhao Qi, you bring a bannerman to the right to encircle."

The two flag generals each took a bannerman to cover both sides, and Yu Jiahe asked someone to carry the tiger squat cannon over. "Battle it for me and attract all the red barbarians."

The tiger squat cannon has now basically become the standard flag-level weapon of the Nine-Headed Bird. Whether it is the infantry and horse army, each flag is at least equipped with a tiger squat cannon, which is a light and compact cannon. In close combat, firepower reinforcement is extremely strong.

Several tiger squatting cannons sounded, and waves of iron sand swept over, immediately suppressing the Dutch's firepower. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Jiahe and his men rushed over for a distance.

The Dutch finally found out that they were in big trouble, and the granary was not far ahead of them, but they were unable to make progress.

"Roar, we saw that the restaurant in front was not there. We rushed in, and then threw torches from the upper floor to the opposite granary. After igniting the granary, we retreated from the back of the restaurant and returned to the castle. How about it?" Company Commander Andrew discussed with his officers.

Several officers nodded and agreed to the combat plan.

"rush!"

Andrew shouted, and the musketeers in the company fired muskets together, and then the Andrews and others rushed forward with their shields and rushed towards the restaurant with the rest.

Yu Jiahe couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the Dutch suddenly rushing out.

"No, Hongyi is going to rush to the restaurant and stop them."

They also rushed out one after another, and fired fired in the fire.

The Dutch left more than a dozen bodies, but rushed into the restaurant. At this time, the other two flags had just arrived and were one step too late.

Yu Jiahe and his men wanted to attack the restaurant, but they fired a roulette of guns from it. Several nine-headed birds could not dodge and were hit. Fortunately, they were injured because they were protected by cotton armor, so they did not hurt their muscles and bones.

Yu Jiahe was extremely angry, and at this time another group of nine-headed birds arrived.

A Qianmao glared at Yu Jiahe, "What's going on? You haven't done it for a long time?"

"Report to the steward, there are about 200 red-haired men who have escaped into this tavern. They have a lot of firearms and plan to burn the next granary."

"You can't handle the two hundred red hairs? Take your people away and leave them here to us." Mr. Qian said with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Push the cannon over, and let it go with the Dutch, and just use the cannon to blast his mother." Mr. Qian said in a very generous manner. Now the nine-headed bird's cannons are quite sufficient, especially after picking up more than a thousand long cannons from the Penghu Sea, it is even more sufficient. The more than a thousand cannons, the nine-headed bird and the Zheng family each have half of the more than a thousand cannons. In addition to the naval cannons, they also salvaged a lot of army field cannons from Dutch and British warships from shipwrecks in the sea.

Now Liu Jun’s Beiyang Fleet has few ships, but there are more than a thousand cannons. With such sufficient artillery, Liu Jun certainly would not put these cannons in the warehouse and rust them, but instead assigned a lot of them to each battalion. As long as they dragged them, they could borrow them.

In addition to the original light cannons, the nine-headed bird's general now has several three-pound cannons and even nine-pound cannons. The horse pulled the cannons over, lined up with the black holes facing the restaurant.

Field guns of hundreds or even thousands of kilograms and ship-based extended guns are used to bomb a common restaurant, but they are still installed in front of the restaurant to bomb.

Yu Jiahe took his men to stand aside, feeling very depressed. This is too bullying.

However, compared to Yu Jiahe, Andrew and others in the restaurant were even more depressed and desperate.

Damn, is there anyone fighting like this? He actually pulled out a row of cannons and dragged all the nine-pound long-boat cannons here.

"Let's withdraw!" Andrew knew that the granary could not be burned and the mission had failed.

"I can't leave anymore, there are Ming troops on all sides, and we are surrounded."

Mr. Qian looked at the row of cannons proudly, feeling very accomplished, "Called to the inside, Mr. Qian counted them one hundred numbers, and after one hundred numbers, he would not come out to surrender, and immediately smash them."

"one hundred."

"Ninety-nine!"

Andrew looked out the window and saw the gunners loading in an orderly manner, preparing for the launch.

"Let's surrender." Andrew said helplessly.

His eyes looked over, and his subordinates lowered their heads. No matter how brave the person was, he didn't dare to say that he would continue to fight. If he fought again, he would die.

"Since everyone doesn't object, I'll just treat it as everyone agrees. OK, I'll negotiate with them now."

After saying that, Andrew leaned against the edge of the window and shouted loudly at the outside, "I'm asking for negotiation!"

"You are not qualified to negotiate, put down your weapons and surrender."

"We can surrender, but after surrender, our lives must be guaranteed. We need your guarantees and commitments!"

Mr. Qian thought about it, "Let down his weapons immediately and surrender. You can avoid death."

After a while, the door of the restaurant was opened, and Andrew held up his hands and walked out first, and then other Dutch soldiers came out one after another.

Yu Jiahe and his subordinates stood aside and looked at the red-haired soldiers who were originally their opponents, and surrendered in this way, becoming captives of General Qian, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to blame Mr. Qian, so he had to blame these Dutch people for not resisting.

"What a coward. A coward, a big bull, but he was all cowards when he started fighting. He surrendered before he could fight a few times."

The other Banner nodded quickly, "That's right, red hair is all soft eggs. The Spanish, who gave us the chicken cage without a shot, and the warships of such a large one were handed over to us. And the British, who had just lost a battle and ran away. The same is true for these Dutch people, and the Sicao Sea Fort was broken in less than an hour. The same is true for us. In just a short while, they captured the two of them."

Another flag officer smiled and said, "I heard that these red-haired men were all incited, just like those mules. They looked very big, but they actually couldn't give birth."

"Really?"

"No wonder they are all so bad. It turns out they are so bad." A group of soldiers judged the Dutch prisoners there.

However, some people expressed doubts, "But these people all have big beards. Can they still grow beards after being incited?"

The flag always felt embarrassed when refuted, and glared at him angrily, "Camp tonight, you are responsible for digging the toilet of our bureau!"

The captives were disarmed and taken to the rear, the grain warehouse was preserved, and the town fell into the hands of Jiutou. When cleaning up the town, more than a dozen Dutch people who had not retreated into Chichi City were found.

Liu Jun looked at Chi Chicheng, which was already surrounded and was out of reach, and "send a Dutch to Chi Chaicheng to persuade him to surrender."

A Dutch woman was sent back to Chicing City and brought Liu Jun's letter of surrender.

Liu Jun asked the Dutch in Chichi City to surrender immediately and hand over the castle.

After seeing Liu Jun's letter of surrender, Paul decided to send people out of the city to negotiate with Liu Jun. On that day, several Dutch envoys came to the town with white flags to pay homage to Liu Jun.

The Dutch showed Liu Jun the agreement signed by Fujian officials with them, which contained the Fujian officials who asked them to come to Taiwan, but did not state that Taiwan was the territory of the Ming Empire. Therefore, the Dutch asked the Ming army to retreat, but was willing to pay the military expenses of the Ming army to send troops. They were willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to the Ming army. If the Ming army signed a trade and trade contract with them, they were willing to pay another 100,000 taels of silver.

Liu Jun naturally could not agree to such a condition.

"Marty, it's useless to talk to the Dutch more. Let's fight." Zhang Shan asked Liu Jun for a fight.

Liu Jun shook his head, "Don't worry, Chi Chicheng is still very strong. If you want to attack, you have to pay a lot of casualties. We don't need to pay unnecessary casualties, we don't need to attack the city, we can also trap Chi Chaicheng to death."

"Chi Chi Cian can be taken down without siege? Is the Marquis trying to persuade the surrender? But these Dutch people may not be willing to surrender." Zhang Shan said.

"Although Chichi City is strong, it has a fatal flaw, that is, there is no water source in the castle. Their water source is in the East India Company accommodation area north of the town outside the castle. As long as we siege the castle, Chichi City will descend within three days."

If a person doesn’t eat, he can hold on for seven or eight days. If he doesn’t drink water, he will be finished in three days.

When the Dutch built this castle, they probably never thought that there would be someone attacking Chichi City.

In the Red Climb Castle, Paul and others quickly realized the water source problem in the castle. They immediately sent someone to dig wells in the castle, but the wells dug were less water and more mud, and they were extremely bitter and difficult to drink.

At this time, the Ming army had already begun to set up artillery and pile up sandbags under the city.

"The Ming army has also brought the naval guns." Paul looked at the Ming army artillery position outside the castle with a ugly expression.

There were hundreds of cannons in various types.

"How else can I fight?"

Paul said desperately, and the other officers in the city were also dejected. After losing the reinforcements and the company in the town, there are only two companies left in the city. All men, women, young and old are only one thousand.

There was no water source inside and no reinforcements outside. The Ming army had surrounded Chichicheng City, with tens of thousands of soldiers, especially hundreds of cannons, including thirty-two-pound siege cannons and twenty-four-pound mortar cannons.

"I now know why the fortress on Beishio Island was broken so quickly. With these giant cannons, we can only defend Chichicheng for three days."

"It would be better to withdraw all the soldiers and merchants to the Dayuan Island if they had known each other. Maybe they could hold on until reinforcements arrived. Damn, Van Bronn's rice bucket, Debaoer is also a fool."

After Paul cursed, he finally sighed helplessly, "Let's open the city and surrender, there is no need to resist unnecessary casualties."

On the afternoon of the day when Sicaohai Fort was lost, the defenders of Chichai City surrendered.

Paul led more than 600 soldiers and more than 300 women and children's servants out of the city to surrender.

The Red Cing Castle Gate opened, Paul came to Liu Jun and presented his sword to Liu Jun. Liu Jun took the sword and accepted his surrender. At the same time, he publicly told them that they would protect their lives.

More than a thousand prisoners and the more than 500 prisoners of war captured by the towns and seasides were sent to the prisoner-of-war camp. Except for not leaving the camp, the nine-headed birds guaranteed them three meals a day and ensured their safety.

In just one day, the Dutch lost Sicao Sea Fort and Chiced Castle. Except for the towns, Reyran City and Utrecht Castle on Dayuan Island, the rest of the places were captured by the Ming army.

After the outer castle was captured, the senior officials immediately became an isolated island.

Especially when the Ming army seized the island at the end of the North Line, they immediately advanced to the southern end of the island, built a fortification at the southern end, and directly mounted one artillery to the south waterway. Not only did they block the south waterway that entered Reyran City at Nanbokou, the fortress also directly threatened the Reyranzha Castle.

This is the first day of war.

Debol and Van Bron are worried, but if this situation continues, they will soon lose.

"We must fight back." Van Buron sat in the fleet in Nanbokou and sent people to contact Debaoer in Reyran City. After receiving a letter from Van Buron, Debaoer sighed helplessly, counterattacked, counterattacked, how to fight back? (To be continued...)
