Guo Baocheng's leak was soon discovered, because after becoming a traitor, he didn't return to the village immediately, but spent two nights whoring in Chixian City with reward money.

Guo Huai quickly summoned the leaders of the uprising: "The news has been leaked, we must start the uprising in advance, and we must ask the emperor's army to come over to help quickly. Everyone go back and prepare, and the troops will be dispatched tomorrow!"

That night, Yang Zuocheng, Guo Huaiyi's sworn brother, went to Chixian City to inform again.

This guy originally wanted to follow the rebellion, but when the news leaked, he immediately became scared, so he turned his head and rebelled.

Zhao Han wanted to fight the Dutch again next year, but he sent the Datong Army there, but he gave Guo Huai confidence, and he couldn't wait to launch it ahead of time.

Chapter 657 [Difficult Uprising]

"Kill Hongmao, you will be free!

"Kill Hongmao, you will be free!"

The slogan of September [-]th has been changed. There seems to be some scholars in the rebel army. Every family in Shimei Village cooks delicious food early in the morning.There are chickens killing chickens, and ducks killing ducks. No matter how bad it is, no one knows whether the uprising will succeed after cooking a dry meal. Thinking about saving food to live on.

The rebels gathered in Shimei Village first, and in the middle of the morning, rebels from surrounding villages came to vote.

Everyone in the waist knife world has bamboo poles, pin heads, kitchen knives and other weapons in their hands.Because the Dutch forbade the Han people to hide their weapons privately, Guo Huai, an uprising force of tens of thousands of people, climbed up and shouted: "Everyone in my hometown, the red-haired ghost squeezed our blood and sweat. Today I will take you to eat red-haired meat, Drink red-haired blood!"

"Eat red-haired meat, drink red-haired blood!"

"Kill Hongmao, you will be free!

"Kill!"

The rebel army set out in mighty force, and when they approached Chixian City, many Han people joined in one after another, and the number was close to 1.There were even eleven or twelve-year-old children, led by their mothers, charging excitedly with wooden sticks.

Guo Huai pointed to Chixian City: "Kill me!

There is no city wall built in Chixian City. It is an urban area where Han people, aboriginals and Dutch immigrants gathered around Chixianlou (castle).

The rebel army divided into three groups and rushed in from three directions.

In the area inhabited by Han people, the insurgents shouted, "Brother Han people, rebel quickly, kill Hongmao, and be free!"

Encouraged by the rebels, the Han people in some houses and shops took up arms and joined the ranks.There are also many Han Chinese who hide in their homes or shops, for fear that they will be involved in it. The aborigines who live there are basically the dogs of the Netherlands.They wanted to rush into the castle, but the Dutch defenders refused to open the door and told the villagers to go back and accept the Han people.

"Burn them all, not a single house is left!

Guo Huai stood in the aboriginal settlement, pointing to the houses and shops there.The houses are inhabited by the natives, but most of the shops are owned by the Dutch, and they are usually taken care of by the dog legs (including some Han Chinese dog legs)

In a blink of an eye, half the city is on fire

"Surround Chixianlou!" Guo Huaiyi ordered again.

The main pattern of the five-yuan NT dollar is Chixian Building, but that is the appearance after Zheng Chenggong's reconstruction.The Chixian Tower at this time is a typical European castle.

As for the city of Zeelandia, where the governor of Taiwan lived, it was several miles west of Chixianlou and located on a small offshore island. The terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Until this time, the Han uprising army had exceeded 12000 people, and a large number of city residents participated in the uprising.

They surrounded the red-embedded castle, removed the wooden boards to make stairs, and began to attack the castle in the afternoon. Countless Han people carried wooden ladders and simple weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the castle desperately. ъìQυGΕtV.℃ǒΜ

Inside the castle, there were only 106 Dutch defenders.

"boom!"

With the sound of a cannon, iron bullets smashed into the crowd, plowing a passage of flesh and blood, and nearly twenty rebels were either dead or maimed.

"Hard bang bang!"

Another gunshot rang out, and more than 30 of the insurgents who rushed to the front fell down immediately.

"Hell, what year is this gunpowder?

"Those monkeys are rushing over!"

"Go and push the wooden ladder away!"

The Dutch defenders in the castle were in a mess at the moment.

They received a report from traitors last night, but they didn't take it seriously at all. They didn't even bother to check the powder barrels.The gunpowder in the gunpowder barrel is not just as simple as being damp, but the whole barrel of gunpowder is hardened together or that sentence, the Dutch Army is here to make a joke.

Their military pay is so pitiful that they can't support themselves at all, and they usually have to leave the castle and go to work in shops in the city to make a living.There are also quite a few who go back to their old professions to extort Han businessmen every day, and make a living by being local hooligans.

Historically, after Zheng Chenggong surrounded the Chixian Tower, more than a hundred defenders in the castle surrendered.

"It's coming, it's coming

"Get out!"

The rebel army paid more than a hundred casualties and finally captured the outer fortifications of the castle. The Dutch defenders retreated in panic.

Withdrawing and retreating, it became a rout and was almost wiped out by the rebel army.

"we won!

"Long live, long live!"

The insurgents cheered happily, Guo Huai and others entered the castle and distributed the captured cold weapons to his cronies.

The news of the occupation of the Chixian Tower was quickly spread around.That night, Han people from nearby villages came to vote. At dawn, the Dutch governor of Taiwan, who was only a few miles away in Zeelandia, received a report from the traitors in advance, and unexpectedly sent troops the next morning.

Taiwan Army Commander Dan Kerr personally led 120 soldiers to kill.

These Dutch armies are obviously more reliable than the defenders of Chixianlou.At least, their muskets are not moldy, their gunpowder is not hardened and damp, and even their usual wages are higher.

They carried artillery and 2000 indigenous servants. The castle was too small to accommodate more than 1 rebels.Guo Huai found out the enemy's movements, and took the initiative to lead his troops to attack. He asked his brothers to transform into dragons, and helped lead the remaining troops. A fierce battle broke out by the Erren River.

Although the Dutch Army has only 120 people, it carries more than ten artillery pieces, and every meeting is a shelling meal.

As for the Tuyi Department, there is nothing stereotyped about rushing relatives, and they rush together in a mess.More than a dozen cannons concentrated their bombardment, and immediately dispersed a tribe of more than 20 people.

The strengths of the two sides are not equal.

No. Chaoyi army Zhimu sticks, bamboo years, heads, and kitchen knives, but the Tupu army has real weapons.Jizhi, Guo Huai, a hunting soldier on the other side, saw that the situation was not going well, and the whole army would collapse if it continued like this. He drew out the waist knife he had seized from the castle: "Follow me and take the enemy's general!"

The 2000 people led by Guo Huaiyi were all young and strong.

They charged forward bravely and headed towards Denker's Dutch main force, and they were not broken up by a round of shelling on the way.

"Bang bang bang, there was a burst of gunfire, and Guo Huaiyi, who was charging forward, was shot and fell to the ground unfortunately.

"Brother Guo!

"Run, the red-haired ghost's fire mirror is powerful!"

One' led to the collapse of the main force of the rebel army.Most of the people turned around and fled. They started the incident with enthusiasm, but now they lost a few of Guo Huaiyi's cronies, who risked their lives to grab the body and fled with Guo Huaiyi's body.

"The whole army goes out and hunts down the rebels!"

Danker pulled out his command saber, turned over and mounted his horse, leading the few cavalrymen to chase after him.

Counting Danker, the Dutch had only four riders.But they killed dozens of rout soldiers and captured more than 1000 rebels as they passed along the way.The native servants are also killing and capturing the rebels. Wu Hua, the guard of the rebel army, learned that he would pretend to be Yu and order him to defend the castle. He said to the rebels: Brother Guo has sent someone to contact the army under Longxia. As long as the Dutch army and the natives There were too few troops to besiege the castle, so they chose to besiege three and miss one.

"Boom boom boom!"

More than a dozen artillery pieces aimed at the castle, bombarding it from morning to evening.

Although the bombing did not collapse the city wall, and did not cause any casualties to the rebels in the city, the morale of the rebels holding hoes plummeted.

When it was getting dark, Danker felt that the time was right and ordered the native army to attack the city.

The well-funded and protected state castle, guarded by fire troops, will become the focus of the attacking party.But the rebel army didn't have any firearms, not even cold weapons. When Lijiang saw a city wall fall, Wu Hualong could only say, "Follow me to the north to break through!"

Countless rebels frantically rushed towards the north gate. In order to escape for their lives, they fought bravely one by one, and the native servants gave way in fright.

Seeing this, Danker said with a smile, "Let them escape. After they all escape from the castle, they won't be desperate, but will think about how to escape."

Therefore, the Dutch army and the native army all stood by and watched without doing anything until most of the rebels escaped. Danker said: "Pursue and kill with all your strength. Sure enough, after the rebels escaped from the castle, they completely lost their fighting courage and panicked." fled in the direction of no pursuers.

Wu Hualong tried to organize troops to be the rear, but no one listened to his 6000-odd rebels. Up to this point in the battle, nearly 3000 men were killed, more than 5000 men were captured, and more than [-] women and children were killed or captured.

Danker ordered: "It's good to keep the prisoners in custody, and all the leaders will be killed after investigation, and the rest of the thugs will be locked up temporarily."

The governor of Taiwan has not yet made up his mind, and he really wants to kill all the Han people.However, the operation of the city requires the Han people, and the cultivation of food also requires the Han people. The indigenous people are not as good as the Han people.

On the way, they encountered several groups of defeated soldiers, all of whom collapsed after fighting with Guo Huaiyi. In the morning of the next day, Wu Hualong counted the number of people, and there were only more than 100 people left around him.Most are adult men, only a few are women and children.

Everyone was hungry, weeping and howling. Wu Hualong had no choice but to comfort him, saying: "Go north, there are officers and soldiers sent by His Majesty, we will be safe when we meet them!

At this moment, Li Dingguo was on the road with anger. He sent someone to inform Guo Huaiyi, telling him not to mess around, and to act with the Datong Army next year.

The battle plan of the Datong Army is to take Zeelandia and Chikan together. They must hoard enough food and slowly besiege the city. Zheng Chengjia regained Taiwan. It's been nine months.That is not a strong fortress on the island with a large number of people. The navy and army must cooperate with the naval battle and then slowly. At this time, in Tainan, the Netherlands has four warships (armed merchant ships)

The largest is the Hector, with a displacement of 650 tons, 27 iron guns and 9 bronze guns on board.As for the Taiwan fleet of the Datong Navy, although there are more than 30 warships, the largest one is only 400 tons. It is a warship built by Zhao Han, who Zheng Zhilong sold to the imperial court at a low price. It will not be launched until next autumn at least. Practice with the Dutchman.

But the court's plan was disrupted by Guo Huaiyi's unauthorized actions.

Li Dingguo had to save him. He knew that the imperial court spent a lot of money and food every year on immigration.The number of Han people near Chixian City is close to [-]. As long as they can be saved, it will save countless immigration costs for the court.

Chapter 658 [Luring the enemy to ambush]

Wan Bangyan, who was born in the Jiangxi Navy, is the commander of the Taiwan Fleet of the Datong Navy and has been stationed near the Penghu Islands for a long time.

The reason why Wan Bangyan was thrown here was because most of the Han people in Zhuluo County were migrated by Zheng Zhilong.Zhao Han was a little worried and did not dare to send Zheng Zhilong's generals to Taiwan for garrison.

A 400-ton warship, more than a dozen 200-ton warships, and more than a dozen 150-ton warships.Wan Bangyan is confident of defeating the four Dutch warships, but he must pay a price. Only the 650-ton Hector is enough for the Datong Navy to drink a pot. .

Historically, when Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, he declared that the Hector would be sunk by all guns.

However, according to the records of the Dutch, it was the Dutch navy who misoperated and accidentally detonated the gunpowder magazine, and sank itself after a short fight.

In any case, it is impossible for Li Dingguo to send troops this time by boat.

Naval battles are one thing, troop transport is another.In case of fighting with Dutch warships during troop transport, one of them was accidentally sunk, and the army soldiers would sink along with them.

Moreover, the areas that are easy to land in Tainan are covered by the firepower of Zeelandia City's anti-aircraft artillery. Zheng Chenggong was able to land easily because he had figured out the terrain and climate in advance, and took advantage of the short time of high tide to use the tide to move on the shallower coast. Log in early.

Neither Li Dingguo nor Wan Bangyan chose to take risks.

Anyway, with a distance of only sixty miles, the Datong Army can overcome obstacles along the way, and they can walk through it abruptly.

I didn't bring artillery, and I didn't bring much food and grass, because I had to cross several small rivers, and I had to rush to rescue.

With axes and waist knives, the soldiers chopped down the weeds and vines in the forest.When encountering a river, it is not wide anyway, so trees are cut down on the spot to build a pontoon bridge.

Two days later, it was close to the indigenous settlement of Madou.

There is a war going on here. The Madou natives, the Mujiayouwan natives, and the remnants of the Han uprising army joined forces to fight against the Dutch pursuers.And among the pursuers of the Dutch, there are also many Madou natives!

The aborigines at the bottom have a deep hatred with the Netherlands.

Hearing that the Han people had rebelled, they immediately responded in groups.Even though the Han Chinese have failed, even though their leaders are serving as dogs to the Dutch, there are still many native brothers who are willing to stand up and fight.This is not the first time, they have fought the Netherlands for eight of the previous 20 years.

The school built by the missionaries in the Madou Society is billowing with thick smoke.

The uprising coalition forces were obviously defeated, about 2000 people fled north in the woods.The Dutch soldiers were not chasing quickly, but the native servants fought bravely one by one, trying to exchange the heads of their compatriots for the appreciation of the colonists.

"Brother Ang, how long will it be before we see officers and soldiers?" Mo asked while running.

Wu Hualong said: "It's almost there, it's almost there."

Mona is a warrior of the Madou Club, he is very good at hunting, and he is quite prestigious in the tribe.His father was killed by the Dutch, and he hated his leader very much, because that was the leader supported by the Dutch with force.

There are quite a few tribesmen who have the same idea as Mona. This time, more than 200 Madou warriors stood up and fought together with the Han people.

Mo Na ran forward, passing through a forest, when he suddenly heard the sound of a chant coming from ahead.

"Hey yo, hey yo!"

It was the Datong army cutting down trees and carrying logs to build a pontoon bridge.

Wu Hualong listened carefully, and was pleasantly surprised: "It's Han, there are many Han in front!"

They speeded up and ran forward, but heard a copper whistle again.

It was the sentinels who had crossed the river in advance to warn them, and they also spotted them and immediately blew their whistle to warn.

On the other side of the river, Li Dingguo shouted: "The whole army put on armor immediately. Soldiers in armor, prepare to meet the enemy!"

About 2000 people marched in armor. At this moment, they raised their guns and aimed at the other side of the river.

Although Wu Hualong didn't see the sentinel hiding behind the tree, he hurriedly shouted: "Our own people, our own people, we are all Han Chinese, and these native brothers are also our own people!"

Not long after, the whole army crossed the river.

Li Dingguo asked: "Looking at you, have you already fought a war?"

Wu Hualong cried: "More than 1 people revolted and originally occupied Chixian City. But the red-haired ghost's artillery is powerful, and there are so many of them. It is estimated that they were dismantled from the ship or the city wall. Brother Guo died in battle, and the rest Brothers and sisters were either killed or fled, and now there are more than 1000 people left.

Li Dingguo wanted to scold them a few words, but seeing them in a panic, he just said: "How many pursuers are there?"
