Putmans' more than fifty ships stayed fifty miles away in Penghu, and this telescope observed the site that was the most traffic-saving site for mobile phones and no ads.

Two young men stood beside him, with the rank of major on their shoulders, and they were watching.

I don’t know how long it took, one of the majors said, “Your Excellency, Chi Chicheng is too close to Penghu.”

Another continued: "Yes, there seem to be garrisons in Penghu. If they cooperate inside and outside, it will be very troublesome."

Putmans put down his telescope and said, "A Dutch soldier is worth thirty Ming troops. Let's prepare, let's go directly to Chichi City."

The two majors were named Prous and Barissa, and both of them were frowning.

Prous said: "Your Excellency, this is too risky and will be attacked from both sides."

Barissa also said: "Your Excellency, Penghu is a good place. You can attack and retreat or defend when advancing. If there is wind and rain, you can also temporarily hide."

Putmans shook his head and said, "You don't understand. The Ming people are weaker than the natives in other places. They don't care about this place. Instead of wasting time in Penghu, it's better to force them to surrender directly. They will be more obedient than the natives in other places."

Prous, Barissa looked at each other and shrugged.

"Chiciancheng."

Putmans turned his eyes to Taiwan and said expressionlessly.

As he ordered, the fleet began to turn and headed straight to the heartland of southern Taiwan.

Currently, there is only a place with Chichicheng as the core that has been reclaimed in southern Taiwan. Anping City is on a large island and the military center in the south. It is across the river from Chichicheng. Whether it is water or land support Chichicheng, it will be very fast.

Prous had done his homework and had no objection. In his opinion, this was the best way to seize the hinterland of the Ming people and force the master to surrender. This is the best way.

But Barissa said, "Your Excellency, I suggest that you capture Anping City first. Only by defeating their will to resist will other places surrender."

Putmans said without expression: "If you don't understand Ming people, their heads must be in Chichi City, not Anping City. As long as you take Chichi City, they will definitely surrender obediently."

Prous and Barissa naturally had no time to study the Ming Dynasty, and they all showed indifferent expressions when they heard this.

Putmans stood on the largest battleship Hector, looking at the direction of Taiwan, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Putmans' fleet passed through Penghu and Taiwan as if no one was around, and rushed straight to Chicing City.

This scene was seen by Zheng Zhilong on Penghu. His face turned pale and his eyes were blazed!

A captain stood beside him, and was also angry and shouted loudly, "Sir, the red-haired ghost is too bullying me. I am willing to receive the order and support me and destroy the red-haired ghost on the sea!"

Zheng Zhilong watched them pass by, and sneered, "No, I'll go in person, send an order, Penghu stayed behind closed doors and was not allowed to attack, mobilize all warships, I'll fight in person!"

There were three lieutenants around him, and he was shocked when he heard this. One of them said, "Sir, no! Lord Xiong repeatedly ordered the orders, Penghu must not be lost!"

"Yes, sir, how can you do it without you?"

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "There are only three thousand people in Chicing City, and the army is stationed in Anping City, and there are no ships. If the red-haired ghost directly attacks Chicing City, Anping City will not have time to rescue. Now only the general can support it."

Everyone frowned and looked embarrassed when they heard this.

Zheng Zhilong is right. He cannot go to Neijiang to support Chichicheng from Anping City, but can only detour, but for too long, Chichicheng may not be able to defend it. If Chichicheng falls, he will be half defeated in this battle. But what if this is luring the tiger out of the mountain or luring the sea battle in Penghu? What should I do if the Red-haired man is the real purpose of Penghu?

A lieutenant expressed this concern. After all, Penghu's position is too important. It can attack and retreat or defend, and it can also attack Taiwan. There is no reason not to attack Penghu first.

Zheng Zhilong also had this concern, but Chi Ciancheng had to support him and pondered for a while: "I lead two thousand navy personnel to go out to sea, three thousand people to defend the city. Remember, keep your door and don't fight! Penghu is fully prepared for war, and there is no problem to defend! Moreover, I don't believe that our Ming navy will be inferior to those broken ships of the Red-haired Ghost!"

The Ming Dynasty's navy was organized, and warships were warships, fully equipped and sharp artillery. In contrast, most of the Dutch were temporarily collected by merchant ships. Except for a few large ships, the others were very ordinary!

After thinking about it, everyone had to agree with Zheng Zhilong's combat plan. Now only Penghu has the ability to support Chichicheng. The main force of the navy has to come here for a while, so they can only make a decision on the spot.

Penghu was stationed with forty warships, three medium ships, and the others were small ships. Zheng Zhilong mobilized them, and then drove away and followed quietly behind the Dutch.

When the Dutch fleet sailed past Luermen, Han Ziji from Anping City learned the news and was quite surprised.

"You mean, the Dutch did not go to Penghu and came here directly?" He was really surprised. This was not the normal order of combat, which was surprising.

The captain in front of him said, "Yes, it is still impossible to tell whether they came for Anping or Chi Chi."

Han Ziji stood there, his eyebrows calmed down.

This Dutchman's incident was not as expected by him, and all tactics had to be rethinked.

His eyes flashed for a while, and he said, "Sent to the Chi Ciancheng Zhao Yingchen, he ordered him to only defend and fight. The first line of defense will be fully opened. If the red-haired man lands, he must fight back with all his strength!"

"Yes!" Some soldiers responded and walked out quickly.

Han Ziji has also experienced a lot of battle formations and has been trained several times in the Military Academy. Now he is standing there, his expression is calm, but he keeps thinking in his heart.

He had no experience in fighting with the Red-haired people, and even had no suitable case in the Ming Dynasty, so he could not guess what they were going to do or what purpose they had.

The captain in front of him said, "Sir, the last general thinks that the red-haired man is coming to us. If Anping City is broken, other places will be destroyed without attacking." His meaning is very simple. The main general died in battle or was captured, which basically means that the war is over.

Han Ziji naturally knew that Anping City had 8,000 elite troops, with guns and guns in full. Why did the Dutch think that they could easily break through? If they delayed for ten days and half a month, they would not have supplies at sea, wouldn’t they seek death?

"Could it be that it is really Chi Cian?" Han Ziji said to himself. Only by occupying Chi Cian can you have stable supplies and then fight for a long time. But even if they occupy Chi Cian City, why do they think that thousands of people can defend Chi Cian City? The Ming Navy has only 50,000!

Now, Han Ziji has even begun to doubt the big strategy of the Red Haired Man, and always feels that something is wrong. It is indescribable and weird, but it is hard to understand.

"Sir, why not send someone to Penghu for help, and theirs has forty warships, which can be enough for a battle!" A commander suggested.

Han Ziji shook his head decisively and said, "Penghu cannot be lost. If the red-haired ghost has a conspiracy, it is likely to be heading for Penghu. For the time being... hold the troops still, let's see what the red-haired ghost is going to do!"

"Abide by the order!" A group of people responded, and now they had to do so. Taking action rashly will only give the enemy a chance.

From Zheng Zhilong to Han Ziji, they were confused and nervous, but they didn't know that the fundamental reason was that the Dutch didn't take them seriously.

When the Hector arrived in Neijiang, Putmans looked around with a telescope, shook his head slightly, and said in a very pity: "What a good place has not been cultivated."

Europe is generally a small country with a small land area, but it is different from outside. The seven provinces of the Netherlands are still struggling to be independent. The area is not peaceful if it is bigger than the palm, but it is different from the outside. It is often a barren island, one of which is several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times the land of their country!

Prous was also watching and said without mind, "It doesn't matter, just catch some people. It turns out that there are many Chinese people and they can't survive. If you give some sweetness, you will work hard."

Balisa also smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you can have an extra medal on your chest this year."

"Keep going." Putmans said. He had decided that he would want all the island.

Although the Dutch gradually approached, Anping City and Chichuang City were nervous and kept paying attention, and the soldiers were all ready.

Although there is some wind today, there are still large baskets everywhere, locking on the sea, observing the Dutch's every move.
