After breakfast, the soldiers were organized to march in formation. Except for the 100 men left to guard the camp, the remaining soldiers gathered and marched towards the distant city of Prominsha. He was accompanied by sailors drawn from the ship. They were responsible for the delivery of baggage and artillery.

According to the plan, Liu Pei will first annihilate the soldiers in the city of Promin and seize a base. Turn back to the stronger city of Geranza. Because the city of Prominzhe has not yet been fully built, and the artillery is not yet in place, it is relatively simple to attack.

When the group approached the city, the soldiers in the castle were a little panicked when they saw the team coming from afar. Because it looks like that team is several times larger than theirs. But the officers who led the team were still desperately agitating the soldiers.

"We have the walls in place, and we are fully capable of repelling these people."

"We are brave soldiers, not like these poor people with knives and guns!"

With the encouragement of the officers, the soldiers finally got a little morale. In fact, this panic began yesterday. Yesterday, when Liu Pei's fleet surrounded the city of Geranza, it was discovered here. They felt that something was wrong, so they quietly sent someone close to investigate the situation. After discovering this fleet, they also came to the conclusion that their own fleet was finished, so they were already in chaos!

And the biggest problem these people face now is the supply of food. All their food was supplied by the city of Geranza, and now that the city of Geranza itself could not be safeguarded, it was naturally impossible to transport supplies to them. And they didn't have much gunpowder and buckshot either. Now the only thing they could rely on was that they had completed the construction of the outer walls.

The city is a three-storey building. The first layer is a rammed earthen platform, corrected to be as perpendicular to the city walls. It is more than three meters thick and almost impossible to climb. The upper two floors are fortified fortresses. But at this time the top floor had not yet been built.

On the left side of the castle, a rectangular auxiliary fort was set to protect the main body of the fortress. If you want to conquer the main fort, you must first occupy the secondary fort. However, after the fall of the auxiliary fort, the main fort can cut off the connection with the auxiliary fort from the entrance and fight the enemy from a high position! This makes the castle difficult to attack.

It is no wonder that Zheng Chenggong chose the way of siege back then. The Dutch were besieged for more than half a year, and they did not really surrender until they ran out of food. However, what Zheng Chenggong can't do doesn't mean that Liu Pei can't help it. Liu Peike brought the treasure at the bottom of the box. That is, four large-caliber heavy guns and four large-caliber mortars.

Liu Pei's team slowly approached the castle and stopped in the distance. Although the intelligence said that the castle had not yet had time to place artillery, God knows if the information was accurate. If you don't start the war, you will be slammed in the face by artillery, then you will be unlucky!

After the team arrived, Liu Pei did not rush to attack, but camped in place. After all, conquering such a castle is not a matter of a day or two.

When Liu Pei's army had just appeared under the castle, the people in the castle were not afraid. The people in the castle didn't know whose army these enemies were, but they knew that they were here to go to war. And they also knew that it would be impossible for the other party to rely on this person to conquer the castle. But when Liu Pei's team dispersed, revealing a few cannons behind, the castle was really panicked!

Just looking at the castle, the caliber of the cannon is no longer an ordinary caliber! What's more, the artillery was simply dragged by oxen, and there were people who kept laying planks under the wheels of the gun truck, so you can imagine how heavy it was!

A new castle like this has just been built, and the ancillary facilities have not yet had time to be prepared. If you attack with artillery, sooner or later you will smash a hole! When the time comes, the castle will not be able to hold it!

Seeing this situation, several officers in the castle hurriedly discussed. Some people say that the castle must be resolutely defended, and only by relying on the city walls can it be maintained. Some people said that they would break out of the city walls and fight the enemy to the death.

There is nothing to advocate sticking to. And those who advocated the attack felt that many of the opposing troops were still using broadswords and spears. There are relatively few firecrackers. Based on their experience attacking the natives, they could easily disperse them.

As a result, several officers split into two factions and argued. In the end, the highest-ranking officer decided to go out of the city to fight the enemy. The main purpose is to destroy the enemy's artillery after repelling it. But do not pursue a fleeing enemy.

If Liu Pei knew what the officers in the city were thinking, he would definitely laugh his big teeth! Because now Liu Pei's combat methods have long changed, and they are completely different from the Ming army. The damage output of Liu Pei's army is mainly artillery and firearms. As for the shield bearers and spearmen, they exist solely to protect the firecrackers. The Dutch are destined to pay the price for their arrogance!

The Dutch had already been dispatched and was discovered by the sentinels, who immediately informed Liu Pei. When Liu Pei received a notice from the guards, the gate of the castle was opened, and a group of soldiers were marching out of the city. When it seemed like he wanted to fight us, he was amazed!

Liu Pei couldn't think of any reason for the other party to take the initiative to attack when the enemy's forces were superior? However, Liu Pei immediately reacted, this is the arrogance of the colonizer! But this made Liu Pei very happy. Not only Liu Pei was happy, but even the guards who delivered the letter were so excited that their faces were flushed!

The reason why Liu Pei was happy was that there was a chance to directly annihilate the defenders in the city outside the castle. After all, if you attack the city, the losses will be very large. And the ground field battle will be much easier.

Liu Pei immediately ordered: "Bring that priest to the front of the position, and let him see how we are fighting." ”

After the excited guards left, Liu Pei led people to the front of the position. Liu Pei stood still and raised the telescope to look into the distance. He saw that the gate of the castle was indeed open, and from inside came the appearance of about a hundred or fifty people. They are currently organizing a parade. Looking at them, they do look like veterans.

While Liu Pei was observing the Dutch, the priest was brought. He saw that Liu Pei was observing the soldiers opposite, and felt that it was a good opportunity to persuade Liu Pei, and immediately said: "Your Excellency the Dragon King, the opposite side is the most elite soldiers of our Dutch, and their combat ability is very strong!" Often a few dozen people can defeat a large tribe team! So I think the two sides should not go to war, and everyone should sit down together and solve the problem through negotiations! That's the best way to do it! ”

Liu Pei put down the binoculars and sneered and said, "Priest, do you treat me as an ignorant native?" I know you've sailed the seas and defeated many of the indigenous tribes. But that's because you haven't met the real Eastern civilization! Let you see how we fought today? ”
