As they walked, the procession of captives approached the city of Karon.

However, in Tang Wei's eyes, this Karon City is not so much a city as a small county town. For no other reason, the scale is too small! The houses are low, low and old, not to mention, and most of them are bamboo and wood structures, so I really can't see anything wrong.

"How many people does this city have?"

"I heard that there are more than 40,000, but we don't know how many there are...... exactly."

Tang Wei sighed slightly: "Forty thousand is forty thousand, let's go first." ”

In 1895, the world was still at war, far less peaceful than it was later. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a military guard at the entrance to the city of Karon.

Just when Tang Wei was looking at the scenery along the way with novelty, the marching queue stopped, and everyone was on guard as if they were facing a great enemy.

"What's going on?" Only Tang Wei looked confused.

"There's a team of red-haired devils, and they have guns." It was a man in his forties who answered, the expression on his face was embarrassed and unconvinced, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "General, I will take someone to sweep them down?" ”

Tang Wei's eyes flashed, and she noticed that the middle-aged uncle had changed from the initial embarrassment to crazy and hideous. And the others turned their heads at the same time. Regardless of men and women, they gritted their teeth and had high morale, like a group of outlaws.

They said, "General, give the order!" ”

Some people even said: "As long as you nod your head, we can destroy those red-haired devils." ”

Tang Wei smiled, and the scene that had automatically appeared in her mind was that when these people launched a charge, they were killed by several soldiers behind the sandbags on the opposite side.

Although such an idea is a bit self-defeating, it is the closest to the truth.

After all, these men were just out-and-out townspeople a moment ago. Neither experienced military training, nor did he have the tenacity to fight, once the Dutch soldier on the opposite side shot him......

Hehe, it's strange that these people don't cry and turn around and run away......

Shaking her head, Tang Wei looked around for a long time, and her voice was clear and powerful.

"Don't get excited, everyone, stay quiet. Of course, keep your eyes open and see how General Ben kills thieves and destroys the enemy! ”

"Wow!"

Everyone was very excited, as if they had been treated very unfairly, and shouted one by one with red eyes: "General, let's go, we are not bad seeds!" ”

"Yes, it's time for us to go, even if we die, we have to fight here today!"

Some people even shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

"Shut up!"

Tang Wei's voice was louder, and she calmed everyone with one sentence.

Then she looked with interest at the subordinates with their necks and faces flushed, looked at their red eyes, and began to sneer.

"Okay, even with you rookies who don't even know how to shoot a gun, dare to shout loudly? What are you rushing up for, are you going to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, or are you crying and telling your mother to disperse in a hurry? I'll tell you, I can't afford to lose that face for such a stupid thing! ”

"General!" A man in his thirties turned his heart and said loudly: "You can watch it with peace of mind!" This obstacle, even if we die, we can gnaw it down! ”

This man with a rough voice speaks loudly!

The people next to him stepped forward one after another, blood surging up. actually has some tenacity that looks at death as home.

Tang Wei touched her chin, looked at these subordinates, and then looked at the pairs of panicked eyes in the sandbag opposite, and then said with a wicked smile: "Those red-haired devils, although they have been frightened, we can't bleed in vain." Therefore, if you want to deal with them without paying a few casualties, you should have gone out. Isn't there a saying called sugar-coated cannonballs, sugar-coated is taken and cannonballs are hit back. ”

Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "General, how to collect this sugar coating and how to hit the shells?" ”

Tang Wei threw an appreciative glance at the one who answered, and said with a smile: "Put away their ammunition and ammunition, strip them and throw them away, that's how to play." ”

After speaking, Tang Wei's eyes narrowed, and she held the scepter like a marshal, and walked towards the row of sandbags in a big way.

Behind the sandbag, there were six red-haired devils lying there, neither opening their mouths to stop Tang Wei nor making any other movements, just their eyes were straight and they were stunned.

Tang Wei was draped in a combat module, and she was extremely bold, so she walked straight in front of the six red-haired devils and said condescendingly: "Hand over your guns." ”

The six red-haired devils looked at her blankly, obviously not understanding.

"Huh?" Tang Wei glared strangely.

The six red-haired devils were very frightened, consciously held the gun in their hands high above their heads, and chose to surrender.

"Well, in fact, anyone can easily disarm if they send anyone over!"

Tang Wei was amused in her heart, but on the surface, she quietly waved to the crowd behind, and secretly said in her heart: "These Dutch soldiers have quite a Westerner tradition of surrendering. Good, good! It seems that this trip to seize the city is easier than imagined. ”

Behind her, the nervous crowd had already rushed over excitedly.

Tang Wei smiled and asked the old patriarch to distribute the gun. She didn't like such a gun, but she was still happy to let each of her subordinates have one.

Next, Tang Wei turned around and walked towards the city center step by step, while the excited crowd followed her with the captive, surging forward.

As the city boiled, as the procession moved forward, the passers-by first turned their heads blankly, staring at the murderous marching procession, staring at the mighty group of captives, and after a moment of confusion and shock, one by one, they turned around and ran wildly with shouts.

Chaos began to spread, and the city was completely in chaos.

And the advancing team doesn't care, still firmly strides forward all the way,

This time when she entered the city, Tang Wei's goal was very clear, and she was determined to take the city into her name. For this reason, she has done a good job of psychological construction and is ready to kill.

But all the way, let alone the army that intercepted it, not even the messenger who passed the message did not appear.

On the way, I saw some Westerners with high noses and blue eyes, and these people had only one reaction, first staring at the captured Dutch people in shock, and then turning around and fleeing like frightened white rabbits.

Tang Wei did not rashly let his subordinates scatter and arrest people. The situation is still very complicated, and the Dutch army in the city is said to have more than 300 of them, so there is a lot of room for manoeuvre. Tang Wei can't guarantee that something will happen if her men disperse, she needs enough men to take over the city, not send them to death.

Only by bringing it with you can you rest assured.

For this reason, Tang Wei had no choice but to watch the Dutch along the road escape, ignore them and go straight to the municipal building.

On April 11, 1895, dusk. Tang Wei led 738 people and captured 320 prisoners into Karon City, but without any resistance, he successfully occupied the city.

At that time, the Dutch, from the mayor of Urukyives, all fled in a hurry, and Tang Wei and his party strode into the municipal building with their heads held high, announcing the change of ownership of the city.

……

At night, Tang Wei held on to the railing with both hands and looked at the whole city. But there's really nothing to see in Karon at the moment.

After they took the town hall by force, the whole city fell into absolute silence.

The citizens who did not know what was going on, whether they were Chinese, natives, or foreigners, were all so frightened that they honestly hid at home and did not dare to make any noise. At first glance, I thought it was a dead city.

"Elder Li, how are our people negotiating with the local Chinese?" Tang Wei asked.

"There is some contact, but ......" is called Li Lao, that is, the patriarch who is old and can't do it, standing behind Tang Wei and replied respectfully: "Judging from the contact situation, most of them are suspicious, afraid that they will ...... Not for us yet......"

Tang Wei nodded, she was suspicious, it was normal. After all, if such a big miscellaneous team as himself and others are quickly accepted by people, it will be called a strange thing.

"Don't worry about that for now, do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes. The women are already in the air, but they will have to wait a while. However, foreigners' milk, bread and red wine are ready-made. You see......"

"Yes, fill my stomach first, I'm hungry." Tang Wei walked to the table and sat down with a smile on her face, and then a group of girls hugged in, and soon filled the table.

Tang Wei reached out and poured herself a glass of red wine, well, it tasted good......

Enjoy Western food. Tang Wei greeted Li Lao leisurely: "Hey, don't look bitter and hateful, come, sit down, and eat together." ”

Lao Li, whose real name is Li Jiyuan, carefully sat on half of his ass next to the chair, and said, "I don't know what the general's next step is?" ”

"Simple." Tang Wei raised her wine glass and motioned for Li Lao to have a glass too, then drank it herself, put down the glass with interest, and said with a slight smile: "Li Lao thinks that if we take this city, how will the red-haired devil react?" ”

Li Jiyuan groaned: "If the old man is not bad, the warship of the foreign devils is already ready to go at this moment, and tomorrow morning, they will come if they want to come!" ”

Tang Wei laughed: "And then? ”

Li Jiyuan was stunned, glanced at Tang Wei suspiciously, and felt that Tang Wei was pretending to be stupid, what else could he do when he drove over, of course it was bombardment! But since Tang Wei asked, she had to continue to explain: "Then, those red-haired devils will bombard me, this ...... I don't know how the general will decide! ”

"Hehe, it's still the same sentence, sugar-coated cannonball!"

Tang Wei grabbed a red unknown fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely: "Hmm...... Let's take one and receive one, it's time to strengthen our strength! Uh~ How many warships did the Dutch have in total on this island group? ”

"This ...... How can I know ......" Li Jiyuan was dumbfounded.

Tang Wei smiled slightly: "The Netherlands is a small country, and there are not many warships to come, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, but unfortunately, if it is the fleet of England and France this time, we can make a lot of money!" ”

"This ......" Li Jiyuan couldn't hold back any longer, and said: "General, the power of the cannons of which warships, you ...... Really seen it? ”
