Zheng Yiguan was very familiar with the former city of Zeelandia, so he saw the shadow of Zeelandia city from the castle in front of him at a glance.
It's just that compared with Zeelandia City, this bastion is very small.
"There are people here!" Zheng Yiguan secretly said, and then looked at the castle intently.
As the distance continued to shrink, Zheng Yiguan even saw some soldiers holding firecrackers outside the castle.
These soldiers wore red military uniforms and black hats on their heads. The shape of the hat was very strange, like a mountain character.
"Come on, order the whole army and prepare weapons!" When Zheng Yiguan was on the sea before, he heard Hong Yi on the sea talk about America.
"This is probably a Saxon. Those red barbarians said that there are mainly Saxons in America today!"
Saxon is the famous shit stirrer in later generations.
Although Zheng Yiguan had never dealt with Saxons before, he had heard from Hong Yi that these Saxons were not easy to deal with, so he wanted to strike first.
This is not the coastal waters of Daming, so Zheng Yiguan doesn't have to worry about hitting the people by mistake.
After Zheng Yiguan's order was conveyed, the speed of the warship installed at the forefront of the fleet slowed down, and the gunners on it began to take their positions, loading shells, and getting ready for shelling.
The treasure ship at the front also began to slow down, and was also preparing to turn the ship sideways.
As the distance continued to shrink, the Saxon defenders on the coast also spotted them.
The Saxons built two or three small bastions on the coastline here, with dozens of defenders.
Because this is the west coast, not the main landing site of the Saxons, the Saxons didn't care as much about it as the east coast.
Because of geography, the east coast is closer to Europa, so the east coast in this era is much more prosperous than the west coast.
A 30-year-old soldier wearing a lobster military uniform was sitting on a stone in front of the bastion smoking a pipe, shivering constantly because of the cold.
At this moment, he suddenly found several huge ships suddenly appeared on the sea, "What is that? My God, what is that?"
The lobster soldier stood up, pointed at the treasure ship that appeared on the sea, and shouted in horror.
The matchlock gun in his hand also fell to the ground because of nervousness.
His exclamation instantly attracted several lobster soldiers nearby.
They looked in the direction of the lobster soldier's finger and saw the treasure ship appearing on the sea.
All of a sudden, exclamations sounded one after another.
"What should we do? What should we do now? This is not the east coast, we don't have coastal defense guns at all, and we don't even know the origin of these ships.
What if these ships come to attack us? "A lobster soldier shouted anxiously on the spot, really unable to think of any way to deal with these ships.
The Saxons of this era are the most aggressive countries, subconsciously, they think that these ships that suddenly appeared must have come to attack them.
"Let's go, go back to the bastion first, then go back to the bastion and inform the officer, and see what the officer says." A lobster soldier ran towards the gate of the bastion with a matchlock gun.
Not long after, all the lobster soldiers outside ran back to the bastion.

Chapter 559
The treasure ships and sailing warships kept moving towards the coastline. It didn't take long for the four treasure ships to be less than five miles away from the coastline.
At this time, the lobster soldiers outside had already run back to their bastion.
"Sir, a fleet of ships that has never been seen before suddenly appeared on the sea outside."
A lobster soldier rushed into the officer's office in the bastion and shouted at the officer sitting in the office who was flipping through the documents.
Upon hearing this, the officer put down the document in his hand and looked at the lobster soldier, "What did you say? A fleet of ships that had never been seen before suddenly appeared on the sea outside? This is impossible, this is the west coast , how could there be a fleet coming?"
Compared with the east coast, the west coast is a backward and undeveloped place. Apart from them and the supply ships that come here from time to time, there are no other fleets. The chief does not believe that there will be a fleet here.
"Sir, it's true, there really is a fleet!" The lobster soldier hurriedly shouted at the officer.
The officer frowned slightly, stood up from the chair, and walked outside.
The officer said as he walked, "Except for our supply fleet, there are no other fleets here all the year round, why suddenly there is a fleet that has never been seen before?
This is the west coast, and there is no other force involved here except us.The empire doesn't pay much attention to this place, and only a few people like us are left.
It doesn't make sense at all, how could there be a fleet that has never been seen before? "
The officer walked out of the office with a puzzled look on his face, and came to the wall of the bastion.
As soon as he boarded the city wall, the officer saw the fleet hovering on the sea.
At this time, the front four treasure ships had turned their hulls sideways.
The officer is also a veteran who has experienced many battles. When he saw this scene, he immediately understood what these ships wanted to do.
"No, they're going to attack us, they're going to attack us!" The officer shouted in panic, and the soldiers beside him also panicked.
At this time, Zheng Yiguan was standing on the treasure ship Yangwei that had completed its turn.
He held up the binoculars to look at the bastion in front of him and the panicked lobster soldiers on the wall of the bastion, and shouted to Zheng Zhihu who was following behind him: "Command the whole army, attack me, and try to kill these troops in the shortest possible time." Defeat them all!"
Zheng Zhihu clasped his fist at Zheng Yiguan, and then rushed towards the gunner's position of the treasure ship Yangwei with Zheng Yiguan's order.
In addition, Zheng Zhihu also asked Zheng Yiguan's order to be announced under the banner.
When Zheng Yiguan's order spread to the ships at the front, the gunners who had already prepared began to control the 107 rockets and 120 mortars, aiming at the bastion on the coast!
The 152mm cannon howitzer is too big, too heavy, and has too much recoil when fired, so Zhao Wen did not install this kind of artillery on the warship.
Because of its huge size, the treasure ship is equipped with 107mm rocket launchers and some 120mm mortars.
As for those sailing warships, the main installations are 107 rocket launchers and some 40 fire shooters.
After a dozen breaths, the 107 rockets on the treasure ship Yangwei took the lead in roaring.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A round of rockets flew towards the bastion above the coastline with a whistling sound.
These rockets have orange tail flames, and they look like daytime shooting stars in the eyes of these lobster soldiers.
"What is this? What is this?" The officer stood on the city wall, looking at the rockets flying towards this side, his face was full of panic.
Although Chief Lobster Soldier has never seen this kind of thing, just by looking at the power of this kind of thing when it is launched, you know that this kind of thing is not good.
"Run, run, run!!!" the officer screamed, and ran down the city wall.
But before he got down, the rockets landed around the bastion.
Because it is on the sea, the accuracy of the rocket is relatively low.
During the first wave of bombing, only a few rockets landed on the walls of the bastion.
When the first rocket exploded, it didn't take long for the sound of the explosion and the flames generated by the explosion to ring continuously.
When the rocket bomb that landed near the bastion exploded, a hole was created on the ground, and the soil and stones inside were blown up and flew around.
Not long after the first wave of rockets exploded, the second wave of bombing followed.
The shell density of the second wave is much higher than that of the first wave.
The second wave of shells instantly enveloped the two bastions.
The sound of explosions was endless, and the flames shot into the sky.
During the explosion, the bastion was gradually destroyed.
In just two waves of bombing, the two bastions were blown into ruins.
Zheng Yiguan held up the binoculars and looked at the scene covered by the explosion in front of him, and shouted at Zheng Zhihu behind him: "Send the order, stop the bombing!"
Zheng Zhihu took Zheng Yiguan's order and hurriedly ran to the back.
The bombing stopped, and Zheng Yiguan stood quietly on the deck, looking at the coastline ahead.
When the gunpowder smoke and dust cleared away, the two bastions had disappeared.
At this time, the bastion had been turned into ruins, and it was blown to pieces.
These two bastions were originally two small bastions, a little bigger than ordinary houses, and they could not be compared with the bastions of Zeelandia City.
The two waves of bombing were completely capable of destroying the two bastions.
Looking at the ruined bastion, Zheng Yiguan shouted: "Forward, prepare to land!"
After Zheng Yiguan's orders were all conveyed, the fleet moved forward slowly.
When there was almost one mile left from the coastline, the treasure ship at the front stopped.
The ships behind came up from the side, centered on the treasure ship, and lined up on both sides.
"Send down the order to let all the ships lower their boats, and now there is only one mile away from the coastline, so that the sailors are ready to land.
After landing, let everyone gather on the coastline and don't run around.In the bombing just now, our artillery seemed to have blown up the pier here, and now we can only land in this way.
Even if we didn't blow up the pier just now, the pier is too small, and it is estimated that even two treasure ships can't stop! "Zheng Yiguan looked at Zheng Zhihu.
Zheng Zhihu nodded, and then walked back with Zheng Yiguan's order.
Two quarters of an hour later, all the boats began to put down their boats and headed towards the coastline ahead.
Zheng Yiguan was sitting on a small boat, looking at the coastline getting closer and closer, his face was full of fanaticism.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zheng Yiguan looked at the soldiers sitting on both sides of the boat, shaking the oars, and shouted loudly.
After hearing Zheng Yiguan's voice, the soldiers shook their oars vigorously.
Not long after, the boat that Zheng Yiguan was on boarded the coastline.
Zheng Yiguan boarded the coastline. He stood on the coastline and looked at the boats approaching here, feeling a lot more relaxed.
"It's finally here, it's finally here, this time is not in vain, it is not in vain!" Zheng Yiguan raised his head to the sky and shouted, his face was full of excitement and excitement.
Standing behind Zheng Yiguan, Zheng Zhihu looked at the boats that kept coming this way, and shouted excitedly: "Brother, we are finally here, we are finally here. What should we do next?"
Zheng Yiguan turned his head and looked at Zheng Zhihu, "After everyone boards the coastline, let our people set up the tent first.
Don't talk about other things, let our people have a good rest.
By the way, after those merchants land on the coastline, let them come to see me. "
"Obey!" Zheng Zhihu yelled at Zheng Yiguan, and then ran towards the edge of the coastline.
The landing time lasted for more than an hour. When half the sun fell into the west mountain, all the people boarded the coastline.
Some of the tents have already been set up by the first people on the shoreline.
Another hour passed, and when the sky and the earth were completely dark, all the tents had already been set up.
Zheng Yiguan sat in his big tent, and the candles in the big tent illuminated the whole big tent.
There are braziers in the center and four corners of the big tent, which keep the tent warm.
At this time, those businessmen also rushed to Zheng Yiguan's tent.
Because of the limited space, the merchants who came were representatives of these merchants.
"Sir, there is a situation!"
Zheng Yiguan looked at the businessmen standing in the big tent, and was about to speak when he heard a hurried voice.
Before Zheng Yiguan asked someone to go out to investigate, a soldier rushed in.
The soldier's face was full of excitement, he hurriedly saluted Zheng Yiguan, and then shouted: "My lord, we have captured some prisoners."
Zheng Yiguan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "When did you catch it? Where are you now?"
In the previous bombing, because the bombing was so intense, Zheng Yiguan thought that no one would survive, so he had no extravagant hope of catching the prisoners.
Zheng Yiguan really did not expect to capture several prisoners at this time.
"Returning to your lord, the thing is like this, after we landed, we went to the place that was bombed before according to your lord's order to see if there was anything useful.
When we got there, we found that the two castles had been bombed, and we didn't expect any captives to survive. We originally wanted to see if we could dig out something useful from the ruins.
But who would have thought that before we started digging, we saw a few sneaky figures.
As soon as we saw this posture, we chased after him without saying a word.After we caught up, we found that there were several soldiers in red clothes, so we brought them back. "The soldier shouted at Zheng Yiguan excitedly.
Although Zheng Yiguan's previous offensive was fierce, there were always some lucky lobster soldiers who survived.
