Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Siege the city!"

    Twelve cannons roared simultaneously.

    On November 19, the seventh year of Chongzhen, the decisive battle of Relanja City broke out.

    In the inner city and the outer city, artillery roared and fired at each other.  The shells roared in the air, then fell hard, setting off a dust storm all over the sky.

    This was the largest artillery battle since the completion of the city of Relanja, and it was also an unprecedented artillery battle.

    The gunners on both sides smashed the shells hard at each other with all their strength. Every time they hit the target, there would always be a burst of cheers in their respective camps.

    Outside the city, there were cheers from Penghu officers and soldiers; inside the city, there were the horrified screams of the Dutch.

    Many of them came to distant Taiwan from the Netherlands with the dream of getting rich. They thought that this land was full of gold and they would return to their hometowns with endless treasures.  But now, they know they were wrong.

    This is not their place, Daming, people like them are not welcome!

    The only ones who showed extraordinary bravery were the Hongyi artillerymen. They were stronger than the Penghu officers and soldiers in this aspect.

    Ding Yunyi stood there calmly, letting the shells roar above his head, his body motionless.

    He saw the shelling from both sides, and at this moment, he had his own thoughts.  Although Father Sarozzi and Poleman found some artillery lessons for themselves on the ship, they were not satisfied with themselves.

    But these Hongyi artillerymen in front of us are different. If we can integrate them into our own army after Taiwan is recovered and hire them as artillery instructors, it will play a great role.

    The fierce battle in Relanzhe City is still going on, but Ding Yunyi has already set his sights further afield.

    The blueprint of the entire city of Relanja provided by Xie Tian played a crucial role in the bombardment. Compared with the Almodian Fort, the defense of Fulixinlian Fort was much weaker.  When it was originally designed, it was considered that once the city of Relanje was invaded, the Yarmudian Fort would be the main defense and the Fulixinlian Fort would be the main attack.

    And now, the Penghu gunners have accurately grasped the weakness in the design of Fulixinlian Fort that emphasizes offense but neglects defense.  Twelve cannons were concentrated and bombarded Fort Fulixinlian fiercely.

    Major Swede became increasingly worried.

    The Ming Dynasty gunners¡¯ intelligence was so accurate that they not only grasped the weak points of Fort Fulixinlian, but also found the weakest defense points of the fort where the cannonballs landed.

    Major Shi Weide clearly saw that although the quality of his artillery and artillery were higher than those of his opponent, the opponent quickly made up for this gap after accurately grasping the weaknesses of Fort Fulixinlian.

    Under the crazy artillery attack from the other side, the Fort of Fulixinlian was crumbling.  The attacking infantry units were already eager to try.

    There was a loud "boom".

    After the continuous bombardment, a gap was finally blown out of Fulixinlian Fort.

    "Xiao Yifeng, Long Zhantian!"

    "exist!"

    Ding Yunyi pointed the "dragon tooth" in his hand at Fulixinlian Fort: "You each lead fifty brothers and attack it!"

    "Yes!" Xiao Yifeng and Long Zhantian were already impatient. They grabbed their swords and pointed forward: "Brothers, rush in and capture Putmans alive!"

    "Capture Putmans alive!"

    The cry shook the Fulixinlian Fort, the Yarmudian Fort, and the entire inner city of Relanja.

    The final battle begins!

    One hundred Penghu officers and soldiers swarmed forward, and the sounds of fighting and shouting shook the inner city.

    Shi Weide panicked, shouting at the top of his lungs and directing the artillery fire to block the enemy's attack; shouting at the top of his voice, he arranged for soldiers to quickly fill the gap and prevent the entire battle situation from collapsing.

    Armandian Castle opened fire at the same time.

    Cross fire from two directions blocked the attack of Penghu officers and soldiers. After every sound of artillery and gunfire, several brothers always fell in a pool of blood forever.

    The first attack failed under the cover of the two castles.  Twenty-one brothers could no longer see Ming Dynasty regain Taiwan.

    While the enemy was retreating, Major Swede quickly ordered his men to repair the gap that had just been blown up.

    The failure of the first attack did not affect Ding Yunyi's ability to win.  At this time, two Folan cannons exploded, and two were destroyed by Hongyi artillery fire.

    Ding Yunyi quickly used a Hongyi cannon as the main force, concentrated all the artillery, and bombarded the gap that Hongyi had barely repaired.

    And all of this may become the guarantee of final victory.

    The sound of gunfire is still coming?It continued to roar, and after a short and fierce fire, the gap was opened again.

    "Throw out all the cannonballs!" Ding Yunyi gave this order with red eyes.

    All the artillery shells were concentrated and blasted towards the gap overwhelmingly.

    The last sound of artillery stopped at the Penghu officers and soldiers¡¯ position.

    It seems that everything has become quiet.

    Ding Yunyi, holding the "dragon tooth" in his right hand, took over a shield.  This action instantly made all the brothers understand:

    The defense is preparing to attack the city in person!

    Everyone has taken his own weapon, and the gunner no longer cares about his beloved artillery, but picked up the weapon that comes to hand.

    The decisive battle!

    "Have you seen it? Let me see it clearly. The gap has been widened!" Ding Yunyi's voice was low, but he could not refute: "This time, I will personally lead you to attack. If you advance, you will live, if you retreat, you will die!  All officers above the rank of 100 are at the forefront! Kill those who are afraid of fighting! Kill those who flee! Kill those who are in disarray!¡±

    "Those who are afraid of war, kill them! Those who run away, kill them! Those who are in disarray, kill them!"

    This was the resounding and neat response of the brothers.

    This resounding answer can be heard clearly even standing on the Aarmudian Castle and Fulixinlian Castle.

    "Xiao Yifeng, Long Zhantian, please give me a break!"

    "yes!"

    Ding Yunyi tightened the "Dragon Tooth" in his hand: "All the other brothers, rush in! Kill!"

    "Come in! Kill!"

    Amidst bursts of roars, these Penghu officers and soldiers turned into a group of lions. Under the leadership of their guard Ding Yunyi, they swept towards Fulixinlian Fort like an unstoppable wind.

    "Fire! Fire!"

    Major Swede shouted loudly, feeling the fear he had never experienced before.  He had to rely on the roar of the cannon to suppress his inner panic.

    For some reason, he suddenly felt that the city of Relanja could not be defended. He was facing a team he had never seen before.

    ¡°Perhaps, they should not have driven to the unfamiliar land of Taiwan from the beginning, and should not have been so arrogant from the beginning that they could challenge the huge Ming Dynasty with just a few hundred people.

    Even though the Ming Dynasty is gradually declining, it is not something the East India Company can face.

    But now I realize it¡¯s too late!
