Section 921 Seven days under the pressure of the fire oil barrels in the city

Siege the next day!

The deployment of the Chinese was in place, and they piled up at least 50 "hills" of more than 10 meters to stand outside the city of Colombo, 100 meters away from the city, overlooking the wall "under the mountain".

There are many people, there are many people, and they are diligent, which makes the red hairy fan shocked by their speed.

Carry the cannon up the hill and fire shotguns to hit the living forces!

I assemble a small trebuchet on the mountain and shoot a fire bomb.

There were observers on the hill, and when they saw that there were many people and where the fire was strong, they shot them with colored arrows to guide the troops to attack that area.

The red haired fan returned fire with the cannons at the head of the city, but they attacked from the back, in a disadvantageous position, and the effect was very poor, but they were killed and wounded by the gunners in the artillery positions above the city by shotguns.

Hongmaofan also used mortar cannons to shoot cannonballs from inside the city to the hills outside the city, but the cannonballs of that period were either blasting shells or iron bullets smashed over, and it was unlucky to hit people, but the hit rate was too low, and it consumed a lot of gunpowder, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Taking a step back, even if it hits the sergeant on the mountain, with the fanatical spirit of the Southeast Army that can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, it's simply not a thing!

A mortar shell smashed into the hill, and the guy who hit it was smashed all over with blood, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the people next to him were indifferent, and he did whatever he wanted!

The Chinese threw the fireballs at the position of the cannons, and after discovering a target, sometimes five or six trebuchets threw fireballs at that place, and they didn't care how many they were thrown, and even saw a red-haired fan appear in the city, and also sent him several large, medium and small fireballs, and the Chinese called the firebombs thrown by the large counterweight trebuchets "large", the firebombs thrown by the manpower trebuchets as "medium", and the hand-thrown Molotov cocktails as "small".

As long as you see a target, throw some of them, and don't care how much they cost, "High DPS output, break the enemy's backbone!" These are the words of the leader.

The leader sometimes speaks with red hair, but it must not be said that the leader admires the foreign and flattering, but can only say that the leader is inclusive of all over the world.

There was a loud bang, thick smoke rose high, and the violent explosion made the Chinese outside the city shrink their necks, let alone the red-haired fans in the city.

It should have blown up the powder magazine or gunpowder pile of the red hairy fan, and the nearby red hairy fan was miserable!

The attack of the Southeastern Army the next day continued to use the skirmish line, in fact, to feint, to try to kill and wound the living forces of Hongmaofan, after all, their counterattack firepower is not weak, even if the bunker is attacked by fire oil, when the fire is extinguished, the bunker will spray bullets.

As a matter of course, they were "taken care of" by the guns and artillery of the Southeastern Army and Molotov cocktails, and the personnel were constantly killed and wounded.

Bombs were constantly dropped from above and inside the city to the outside of the city, effectively resisting the attack of the southeastern army.

The soldiers in the city had grief and indignation in their eyes, and they had not yet reached the point where the morale of the army was completely shaken, but when they saw the shells and fireshells that were thrown into the city, it was difficult for them to fight back, which made their hearts more and more frightened.

And that's not all!

Mr. David calmly said to the officers, "With the permission of the leader, we have brought a kit of 200 large counterweight trebuchets, and it is our turn to assemble them!" ”

The sappers and civilian workers of the Southeastern Army were busy and began to fight at night, assembling trebuchets outside Colombo.

The red-haired fans in the city saw that it was a bitter mouth, and assembled the trebuchet under their noses, and one by one the trebuchets were assembled.

What frightened them even more was that the lighthouse on the wharf was shining, reflecting the arrival of night ships, and it seemed that the Chinese had a new fleet of ships docking, and they could see large barrels being brought ashore, and during the day they saw that those large barrels were filled with fire oil, and then poured into ceramic jars to become fire bombs.

Barrel after barrel, I don't know how many!

The Chinese deliberately intimidated the red hairy fan, and piled up the oil drums, which were so large that the area was first a basketball court, and then piled up to the area of half a football field.

Densely packed piles of paving past, so that the red hair fan saw the drums and numbness in his heart!

At night, the fireballs flew into the city, reflecting the sky, and at the head of the city, the governor Rogerio and the commander Romario thought that the fire oil would be poured on their heads, and their faces were gloomy.

They looked at the Chinese fire oil dump and wanted to have fire in their eyes and detonate the fire oil.

Rogerio said anxiously: "We can't beat the Chinese like this, do you see it, you can send each of us a bucket (of fire oil)!" ”

"Gather the people, rush out, detonate their fire oil, and send them to meet their Mazu!" Rogerio said toughly.

Romario gasped and looked at the deep ditch and thick fortress under the city, and the military industry of the Southeast Army surrounded the city with a long fortress very solidly.

Ignoring the other side's musketeers, Romario pointed his finger: "Your Excellency, do you see the position there?" ”

The Chinese lit lamps everywhere, and Rogerio could see clearly that it was an artillery position, armed with 6-pounder field guns, at least a hundred!

"This artillery array must have prepared a large number of shotguns, and if we concentrate our forces and rush out, we will be shelled by them!" Romario is experienced and authentic.

"If you don't charge, you will still die in the city, and it is not worth dying, and if you rush out, you may have some results!" Rogerio said a philosophical sentence: "Hard work does not necessarily lead to results, but in the city, there are absolutely no results!" ”

Rogerio and Romario are close in name, but in fact they are not on good terms, and Rogerio forces Romario to give the order to attack, but when Romario summons the officers and asks them to prepare for the attack, the red-haired fans shake their heads like rattles.

You can you up! (You can do it!) )

A red-haired officer bluntly said: "This is suicide!" ”

The southeastern army was in full array, and the murderous spirit was clear at a glance, and none of the red-haired officers dared to go out to fight.

As a disciplined army in the East, if you dare to disobey the commander, you will often be killed on the spot, but for the kind of army in the West that cannot defeat and surrender, Rogerio is helpless.

However, under the heavy reward of the indigenous team, there were brave men, and under the temptation of the Spanish silver dollar, a team of natives voluntarily went out of the city to burn down the fire oil depot of the Chinese, and with a hundred silver dollars per person's life money, the red hair fan recruited eight people to form a death squad.

They set out overnight, carrying arson, down from the western city wall, divided into two canoes, walked through the western sea, made a large circle, and landed in the rear of the south of the city, trying to destroy the Chinese fire oil depot.

The western sea was blocked by the Southeast Fleet, and after all, the conditions were limited at that time, and the death squad successfully passed through the blockade line, and there was no movement on the dark sea, which made Rogerio hold a certain hope.

He waited and waited, and when it was almost dawn, he heard a commotion from the southwest corner of the Southeast Army camp, and then the sound of gunfire!

Waiting for good news, however, Rogerio did not see any big movement, and the noise in the place subsided.

The night raiding death squads were looking for a good opportunity, and they launched a surprise attack in the pre-dawn darkness, which is when the people are most tired.

However, people are tired, dogs are not tired, and geese are not tired!

It turned out that the Chinese used Chinese pastoral dogs and geese for vigilance, and received good results.

Needless to say, dogs can keep their homes, geese belong to the order of geese, have a strong sense of territory, have a good memory, are extremely vigilant, extremely sensitive, and will sound an alarm when they anticipate danger. From a security point of view, it has considerable advantages.

As early as when the Gauls invaded Rome, the Roman defenders used the goose to call the police in time to discover the Gauls who were preparing to attack, thus turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop.

Similarly, in the Southeast Army, big goose guards are also arranged, and they usually serve as errands and serve as food reserves, and when the Chinese are ready to leave, they become a delicacy for additional meals, killing two birds with one stone!

In this way, the death squad was discovered by animals, and the Southeast Army immediately organized a search and wiped them out!

At five o'clock in the morning, fireballs flew all over the sky, and the city of Colombo was in flames!
