In fact, the casualties of the Netherlands soldiers were quite large! If the natives with more than 5,000 people in the open ground would attack the phalanx of the Netherlands soldiers of 2,000 people, they would not get any results except for heavy casualties! Especially with the assistance of artillery, the natives would collapse faster!

But this time the battle was in a castle with complex terrain. The narrow terrain restricted the use of smoothbore guns, so the natives easily approached the team of the Netherlands soldiers, forcing them to fall into hand-to-hand combat.

In hand-to-hand combat, the powerful weapons of the Netherlands soldiers did not play much role. The natives relied on the number of people to achieve the effect of killing the elephant with more ants. Although the Netherlands soldiers were skillful in combat and had the advantage of weapons, they also suffered huge casualties and injuries under the surging crowds, which blocked the attack of the natives.

In just a few dozen minutes of battle, there were only more than 400 soldiers left in the castle, with nearly half of the casualties! As for the militia organized from the residents, the casualties were even more severe! If the commander had not intentionally arranged them in a more favorable place, they would have been wiped out! Even so, they would have only more than 300 people left.

In the castle now, the defenders with less than 800 people can fight. And many of them are injured and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced!

At this time, under the city wall, Liu Pei and the Netherlands soldiers confronted each other through the city gate. Liu Pei also occupied a large section of the city wall. However, the two side doors leading to the inside of the castle were guarded by the Netherlands soldiers. They could not be attacked for a moment. There was a large number of natives under the city wall being driven away from the battlefield by the soldiers. So at this time, the battlefield was in a sudden calm.

Taking advantage of this peaceful time, Governor Cohen and the officers re-arranged their defenses and counted the number of remaining soldiers. When they saw the scarred army, Governor Cohen's heart was in his throat!

The form is now very obvious! The city gate has been opened and the city wall has failed again. This is equivalent to losing the best defensive position. As long as the opponent tries to attack a few more times, his soldiers will be consumed sooner or later. That is the time for the castle to fall completely.

The pale Governor Cohen

The officers gathered together and said, "Gentlemen, do you think there is any way to block the attack of these pagans?"

The officers looked at me, and I looked at you, shaking their heads with a difficult face. They knew very well that at most noon, the entire castle would fall! At that time, their life and death would be decided by others.

Although Governor Cohen consulted other officers, he actually knew the outcome of the war better than these officers. Governor Cohen had planned very well, just to use the castle to hold on and wait for the East India Company's assistance. But he did not expect that the other party actually created a strange gunpowder truck and exploded the city gate!

If it weren't for the weird gunpowder truck, or if Liu Pei used heavy artillery to bombard the castle, it would have to bombard it for half a month, one month. After all, the accuracy of the artillery was not high at this time and the heat dissipation ability was poor. If you could not fire too many artillery, you would have to stop shooting and dissipating heat.

But now all his plans are useless! The choice left to him now is to surrender and die in battle. However, Governor Cohen estimated that he was more likely to die in battle. Because when he saw the other party's cruel appearance towards those natives, he knew that the other party was definitely not a sympathetic person. So the only way before Governor Cohen was probably to surrender.

Governor Cohen looked around and said, "If you negotiate with the other party, can you accept it?"

Governor Cohen said it very beautifully, it was negotiation. But everyone knew that this was a synonym for surrender. Several officers looked at each other, and after hesitating for a moment, they nodded silently to express acceptance.

At this time, everyone could see that there was no hope of procrastination. Then bet on whether the other party is willing to show mercy? However, seeing the other party's equipment looks, it should also belong to a civilized country, so you must try it.

Governor Cohen pointed at an officer in dejectedly and said, "You go and negotiate with them in person to see if they accept the negotiation suggestions?"

The officer was so scared that his face turned pale! However, the officer was smart. He thought of something in a hurry and said, "Governor General, we actually have better candidates!"

Governor Cohen didn't think that surrender would require someone to choose, so he casually

Asked, "Who is it?"

The officer hurriedly said, "Governor, it is the priest who came back from the city of Relanzha! According to him, he had met and spoke with the Red-Eyed Dragon King!"

After the officer said this, Governor Cohen immediately remembered the priest who had forgotten him long ago. He had laughed at the priest who was scared out of his courage, but now it seems that the priest is not lying!

However, this is good news for Governor Cohen. At least one person who is familiar with the Red Eye Dragon King to negotiate may bring some variables to the negotiations. At this time, even adding a little favorable factor is important, after all, this is related to everyone's life!

Governor Cohen immediately said, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you call him here!"

The officer immediately raised his legs and ran into the castle. In less than a moment, he dragged the chubby priest back. The priest was dragged by the officer, running out of breath!

The two of them walked closer and before the priest could breathe, Governor Cohen said, "Dear priest, you have talked to the Red Eyed Dragon King face to face! So now there is an extremely important thing to hand over to you, that is, to talk to the Red Eyed Dragon King. How can we end this battle?"

The priest gasped and replied, "Governor, are you going to decide to surrender?"

Governor Cohen said embarrassedly: "No, Mr. Father. I think it's safer to use the word negotiation."

The priest shook his head and said, "Mr. Governor, I don't think it's necessary. I bet that if we send someone out, the Red-Eyed Dragon King will only throw us a surrender letter and ask us to sign."

Governor Cohen waved his hand irritably and said, "Then someone must bring this surrender book back to everyone! Since you have seen the Red Eye Dragon King, he probably won't hurt you. So I hope you will go on your behalf. By the way, what do you think he will treat us?"
