Yang Feng was furious in the handsome tent, but the more than 20 people including Encos were welcomed like heroes when they returned.

"You are heroes, heroes of the Netherlands!"

In front of the broken chief's residence, Sonod personally brought the officers and soldiers of Gerlandzha and his family to greet them.

For the family, women, children and others in Gerlandzha, Encos and others were a group of true warriors and heroes. They paid their lives and blood for more than 2,000 people in Gerlandzha, and are people worthy of their admiration.

Looking at the girls in the welcome team who didn't even look at them on their own, the young ladies' warm smiles and hot eyes, although Encos and others were still sad and sad for their companions who died last night, an unspeakable pride and ecstasy surged in their hearts. According to the previous promise of the Governor, each of them could get a sum of money that would allow them to spend the rest of their lives safely.

Encos saluted Sonod and shouted: "Governor General, Captain Encos reports to you that we have completed the mission of attacking the city. Now we are back, please give us instructions!"

"very good!"

Sonod laughed.

"You have done a good job, I am proud of you! Of course, the bounty I promised will be delivered to you soon, now you can go down and rest first."

"clear!"

The remaining twenty people went down to rest, but Encos, as the commander, still had to report the situation of the battle last night to Sonod.

In a somewhat broken office, Sonod sat behind a desk with a corner missing, and in front of him was Encos.

At this time, Sonod's face was very calm, and the kind of cheerful expression that had just become so energetic and cheerful seemed to have never appeared on his face.

"How many artillery did you blow up last night?"

"There are nine in total, including eight twelve-pound cannons and one twenty-four-pound cannon." Encos answered honestly.

"Only nine artillery guns?"

Sonod's thick eyebrows frowned.

"According to the information we observed, the Ming people had at least 200 artillery pieces, and you just bombed nine pieces. Such losses were nothing to the Ming people."

"But we have done our best, Governor." Encos hurriedly said, "Last night, it was very smooth at the beginning, but later when the Ming people reported it, they quickly encircled us. And they seemed to have a strange night lighting equipment that seemed to be without ignition, which illuminated the entire camp in an instant. Although our soldiers were very brave in fighting, after being exposed to the light, the Ming people quickly encircled us, and our casualties increased rapidly. In the end, I had to order a retreat."

Looking at Encos who was busy explaining, Sonod was still a little dissatisfied.

This is not a blame for Encos for being afraid of death. In fact, Sonod also knew that Encos had tried his best. One hundred and fifty people attacked, but only more than twenty people came back. This is enough to prove the tragic battle. However, the results achieved failed to meet his expectations. This is the reason for his disappointment.

Looking at Sonod, Encos sighed in his heart. The surprise attack last night failed to achieve the expected results. He was the one who was most disappointed.

In fact, whether it was Sonod or Encos, they originally expected that they could blow up all the Ming army's artillery, so that the city of Jelan Cha could last at least three to four more months. Even if they could not blow up all of them, it would be good to blow up half of the artillery, but now it seems that they are still too optimistic.

Although I felt a little regretful, Encos comforted: "But you don't have to worry too much. Although we only destroyed nine artillery artillery of the Ming people, after such a fuss, at least we don't have to worry about being bombarded by the Ming people in the past few days. Moreover, we can still launch a surprise attack on them again in two days."

"it's useless!"

Sonod sighed softly.

"After suffering this loss, the Ming people will not give us another chance."

Encos didn't say anything, and he knew that what he had just said was just a beautiful lie to comfort. If the Ming people could be successfully attacked by them again after suffering this loss, their commander should have committed suicide.

Sonod looked at Encos and said solemnly: "Encos, although your surprise attack last night failed to achieve the original goal, I still want to praise your behavior. In order to commend your appreciation, I decided to restore your rank. Congratulations, Major Encos!"

"Governor General Xie!"

Encos saluted him, but there was no expression of joy on his face.

"Okay, you go down."

"yes!"

Looking at Encos leaving, Sonod, who was sitting behind the desk, pondered for a long time...

Encos and Sonod were still wrong. Less than half an hour after Encos left, waves of roaring artillery fire started again.

The revenge of the Ming army came so quickly that the Dutch caught off guard. The angry Yang Feng mobilized all the artillery fire to the east and concentrated artillery on the city walls on the east. Under the concentrated bombardment of nearly 300 artillery pieces, the defense line on the east immediately became precarious. The originally solid wall began to slowly appear scars and cracks, and some places even began to break.

Seeing this situation, Sonod was also anxious and immediately organized manpower to repair the damaged city walls. Yang Feng, who could clearly see the drone, immediately ordered the artillery battalion to use flowering bullets to shoot and kill the personnel. This time, the casualties of the Dutch army began to rise sharply.

On the third day of the battle, the second line of defense in Heizhan City had become shaky. Under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of artillery, the east gate wall of the second line of defense had been damaged in many places. The Ming army also increased its attack on the east gate. Until now, everyone understands that the fall of the east gate is only a matter of time.

On the morning of the fourth day, when the Ming army shelled the East Gate again as usual, the already broken East Gate wall finally collapsed, revealing a gap of more than 50 meters long. The soldiers of the First Battalion, who had been impatient, issued cheers of joy under the leadership of the officers, and swarmed towards the East Gate wall.

But what is strange is that when they rushed up the city wall, they were surprised to find that there was not a single defender on the city wall. The Dutch made them easily occupy the East City Wall.

"Marty, we have occupied the East City Wall, and we have taken down the city of Relanzha." Seeing the fall of the East City Wall, the Jiangning Army was cheering, but Yang Feng and some officers were a little puzzled. It was logically the last line of defense for the Dutch, so they had no reason to give up easily.

"Marty, the Red-haired Devils have sent someone."
