Mr. David introduced his deployment, oh oh, it turned out that today is not counted, starting tomorrow, first three days of preparation, and then the official siege of the city, at this time the timing will begin, seven days to the city.

The official word is two mouthfuls, and everyone mutters in their hearts that the red hair is enough to follow the customs, if you really fight the city, what is written in the military history is definitely "seven days to the city" in black and white!

"It's going to be difficult for us to take this city!" Mr. David said that it was difficult, but looking at his appearance, he was light-hearted, and he didn't seem to take the other party's fortified city in his eyes at all!

"The three armies are on the same page, and with the most fierce artillery fire, suppress the defenders of the city!" "Cannons fire, bombardment walls, muskets aim, kill the enemy's living forces, use bombs to disrupt enemy defenses," Mr. David noted. ”

He asked Officer Hong to be responsible for commanding the fleet to bombard the Colombo fortress, Marine Yan Le to be responsible for attacking the southern city wall, and Zhang Shouyun of the army to be responsible for attacking the eastern city wall.

"Please! I will break the city in seven days, and if I win, I will have everything, and if I lose, I will step down, and you will also be punished! Mr. David arched his hands.

Damn the red-haired fan!

The officers scolded in their hearts, if you want to show your power in front of people, don't drag us down, break the city in seven days?!

Time limit, say break it, how can you say that?

However, they also admired Mr. David, and everyone learned that Mr. David has never fought or grabbed, and his private hobby is compiling history books and studying Chinese studies, and if he steps down, he may like it even more.

In the past, some people slandered him and said that he was advancing by retreating, and fighting without fighting, but when everyone learned about his family background (his father Thomas Wentworth Stratford was the favorite of King Charles I of England, and he was equivalent to a princeling), and after learning his superhuman first-class level of Chinese studies and humble personality, they all thought that he was Guo Ziyi, Cao Bin and other figures, all of whom had outstanding merits and had no major faults in his life.

No one dared to object, but this was the time to talk about political consciousness, and Hong Xuguan was the first to say: "Our navy will bombard the Colombo fortress with the heaviest artillery fire!" ”

Yes, warships can't go ashore.

So saying it is equivalent to putting P.

One by one, the officers of the Army and the Marine Corps stated: "Resolutely complete the mission!" ”

After finishing speaking, all of them had serious faces, there was no joke in the army, and they had to carry out what they said, and it was useless to make excuses.

"Go and fight well, we will definitely be able to break the city in seven days!" Mr. David swears by it.

"Definitely, definitely!" Everyone agreed, but it is doubtful how many of them are certain.

When leaving, Yan Le and Zhang Shouyun walked together, Yan Le shook his head and said, "Seven days to break the city, it's really enough!" ”

Zhang Shouyun said calmly: "Mr. David is not that impulsive person, he must have his thoughts, what we have to do is to fight well." ”

"Makes sense!" Yan Le agreed, because Mr. David is the kind of person who plans and then acts, he should not be very impulsive, and he must have his reasons for doing so.

However, at dusk that day, when Yan Le saw the Colombo Fortress, he secretly scolded!

He knew it was bad at first glance, this was a heroic city!

The Portuguese came to Colombo very early, and worked hard to manage it, the city was high, the walls were wide, and there were soldiers and guns, and from a distance, it was like a giant beast entrenched on the seashore, and the momentum was amazing!

People can see a lot of things when they look at the shape of the city, and when they see Colombo City, they know that it is not easy to mess with, I will copy!

Observing the city, he is responsible for the south side, which used to have a large lake and swamp protection in the south wall section, but now it is long gone, and there are houses everywhere, thatched houses, stone houses, brick houses, many of which are Chinese buildings.

Aha, where there are people, there are Chinese, this is an exaggeration, it is in Asia where there are people, there are Chinese, this Colombo is such a good place, naturally there are few Chinese to do business here, they have successfully operated, built big houses to live.

In this war, the Chinese evacuated, but the house stayed, and the red haired fan did not dare to do the thing, after all, the Chinese also had battleships.

Before the arrival of the Southeast Army, Hongmaofan demolished the houses near the edge of the city, and when the Chinese came, they demolished the houses farther away from the city to prepare for the battlefield.

The Chinese have always been a hard-working race, didn't they say that they would prepare for three days from tomorrow and then break the city in seven days?

Not counting today?

NO！ Now we will start working, digging trenches and ramparts, clearing the perimeter, building barracks, and working meticulously, with the army and the people working together.

It is known as breaking the city in seven days, but the work that should be done is not less, and the more fully prepared for the battle, the more likely it is to win.

Some people are preparing torches and headlights, and some people are setting up watchtower arrows. The night battle is a must.

On the southern wall of Colombo City, the brothers of the army and the people were doing the same job, and everyone was working hard.

They landed at a wharf near the south of the city, which was excellently built, bluestone-paved, sturdy and durable, and there were many warehouses and warehouses, and a Chinese lighting tower was built, which was contracted by the Chinese bosses.

I was very cheap before, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to return to the capital.

But now it seems that the Chinese boss should have gotten a loan from the Intelligence Bureau!

Although the lighthouse has been destroyed, there has been no damage in other places, and the Chinese are repairing it, and they are building a shelf to rebuild the lighthouse with cement, and it will soon be ready to be put into use.

At this pier, Marines and Army units are landing in a steady stream, transport ships are docking, migrant workers are panting and walking on the gangplank, quickly moving supplies ashore, and cranes on the dock are being assembled, ready to use them to lift large cargo.

The people on the dock shouted donkeys and dogs barked, and pigs howled and chickens barked, and it was very lively.

The young soldiers chewed toffee in their mouths, and they seemed carefree.

These are recruits who have not yet learned the cruelty of war, but then again, the army did its best to reduce casualties.

Eating helps to reduce tension, so the wealthy Southeast Army enthusiastically distributes snacks to the soldiers, including toffee, dried meat, candied fruit, biscuits, etc., and the officers and soldiers eat non-stop when they have time.

The Southeast Army used a large number of donkeys to help transport goods, the dogs were all Chinese pastoral dogs used for guarding, and the pigs and chickens were collected from coastal cities to be eaten.

The noise was so loud that it was like a huge beehive, and even reached the city of Colombo, so that the observing governor Rogerio consulted with his commander Romario: "The Chinese are so presumptuous, they don't take us seriously, we organize men and horses, go and kill them, and destroy their prestige!" ”

Romario shook his head and said, "No, they look messy on the outside, but their musketeers and artillerymen are ready, we can't fight!" ”

He was right, whether it was Yan Le or Zhang Shouyun, they definitely didn't dare to take it lightly, they had prepared a large number of musketeers waiting to compete with the red hair!

Boom boom, the naval guns opened fire on the city of Colombo, kicking off the ten-day siege!
