Fengju City, which is full of Western-style style and is a kind of three-sided castle with relatively strong Western defense, quietly creeps in the calm waves of the archipelago, but these days are cloudy, and the waves are not alarmed, but it seems to be turbulent.

The Shunjun High Fort, which was built in the northwest, was so blatant that it undoubtedly became a thorn in the side of Van, and he couldn't get rid of it quickly, eating it alive, and Jia Cong, who was far away from the battlefield and monitoring the battlefield day and night, although he was enjoying it calmly like an ordinary scholar on his face, he was also anxious in his heart, and this battle obviously could not be commanded blindly.

In the era of cold weapons, the decisive thing is often the first rush to kill, and it is the process of hand-to-hand fighting, which is often affected by morale and momentum, with the winner winning and the loser defeating.

Now is the era of the diversity of firearms, this kind of battle, science and technology has gradually become the decisive factor, as we all know, the cattle herding baby Zhu Chongba in the south and the north war, firearms profit is not small. At this time, there are many kinds of firearms, and generals and commanders are no longer and do not need to be fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and the test is the commander's systematic monitoring of the battle, the grasp of communications, the correct judgment and prediction of the battle situation, and which strategy to adopt.

When both hot and cold weapons are used, analysis and strategy are complex.

"My lord, the moats on the east and south sides of Fengju Castle have advanced five miles, and this place will definitely prevent most of the enemy's wall artillery attacks." Wu Zhuangyuan's voice is neither male nor female, very calm and powerful.

"So fast?"

Wu Zhuangyuan said happily: "Thanks to the courage of the sons, and the Chinese people from the villages outside the city have come to take refuge, they are obviously bitter and red for a long time, and it is the time to regain the hearts of the people." However, many locals died in the war. ”

These Jia Cong's cronies were trained by him to become talents who monitored all sides of Chuanxun, and in several battles, they became qualified pro-soldiers, and the rewards were the most generous, Wu Sange's sickness improved slightly, and he pointed to the sand table, and said with gratitude and awe: "There are still enemy warships in the west and north to defend, and they are also places to escape, among which the clippers have also been sunk by us, and the terrain is hilly and thick, which is not suitable for arranging troops......"

"It just so happens that the terrain there is most suitable for the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, inform Lu Tingwan to take charge of the area outside the West Gate." Jia Cong gave the warrant and pondered: "Isn't this the case with Xiangxi Miao soldiers?" There is no tactic, it is also a tactic, let foreign officers and soldiers try their combat strength. ”

Later, Jia Cong negotiated with Chen Hua and Guo Huaiyi, two generals, and met with the well-known and well-known Chinese elders in the villages outside the city, buying people's hearts, promising heavy profits, and promising all kinds of benefits after the Shun army occupied this place.

Gao Zhibin and other elders understood that after Jia Cong occupied Penghu, of course, he would also have to collect heavy taxes, but wasn't it much better than the Dutch slavery? And their own people are more familiar and better to speak, where do they have a better choice?

The spring flood has receded early, and this climate is a good season for transportation and war, and the salty sea of the South China Sea is gently rippling, and this place where many lives have been buried, at this time it is as gentle as the West Lake.

At some point, the dull sound of artillery fire came from the island, more and more fierce, louder and louder, if you gradually move your eyes inward like aerial photography, you can see that the birds in the trees are hula and flapping their wings in all directions, and the jungle elk, which used to be active, are also running wildly, like chickens and mice can also feel the earthquake.

On the 20-foot-high wall of the triangular castle, Matthews, who was always carrying the Bible, signaled a ceasefire with his hand, and watched the land and hills under the south gate being blown up and dusty, and Colonel Mattheis was more satisfied: "Blowing up these natives is the result of disobedience!" ”

The Triangular Castle is almost invincible in the cold weapon, and it is obvious that even if there is artillery fire at the moment, neither the cavalry nor the infantry dare to rush forward and plunder its edge.

The eyes were fixed on the trench officers and soldiers under the city who were covered by several layers of dust, and saw the Shun army and the Qianxiang army bending down and hiding in the ditch with their guns, Ai Shuangshuang spit out the soil in the mouth, although he was embarrassed, but he laughed and said: "A few commanders, brothers, as the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, this is not only the mountain high, but also thousands of miles across the ocean!" Regardless of whether the Shun Dynasty is crowned an official or not, if the Governor takes us here and owns the land and money, wouldn't it be happier than being an official and a lord? ”

Third Brother Wu's eyes flashed: "I don't expect the imperial court, the Ai Guan team is right, the road and wealth are given to us by the Governor, and we are not thin!" ”

It was obviously the enemy's firepower, but they were talking and laughing here, and they didn't take the lead, and at the end, Wu Zhuangyuan screamed: "Wasted so much ammunition on them, brothers should also be kind, right?" It's time to ignite the line? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The point! The point! ”

Suddenly, an unparalleled explosion on the island burst the eardrums of Mattheis and other Dutch soldiers, and their eyes gradually froze, while the Shun army and the Akane army retreated with the trenches as the line of fire gradually burst into flames.

Matthews, whose high nose and high cheekbones, twisted and squirmed with the high bridge of his nose and high cheekbones, obscured by the spiky roof of the tower, and cursed in a low voice in the English language of the clipper sailors, and of course he could not hear his own scolding after the explosion and deafness: "shit!shit!oh, shit!"

"How could I have thought that they would ambush gunpowder hundreds of meters?"

"Lord Colonel! Run! Run! ”

The seemingly solid three-sided castle was destroyed by a huge amount of gunpowder, and one side was collapsed by the explosion, even though the Westerners' castle was eight feet thick! But Jia Cong is extremely generous to them! Do not hesitate to dig trenches, dig tunnels, do not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower, and a large number of precision-formulated gunpowder power! The foundations are all collapsing? What is the use of a strong castle?

Facts have proved that Jia Cong's strategic decision is correct, and in the three hundred years before and after, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Zicheng, and the Taiping army all used tunnel tactics to win victories in siege warfare.

When Ai Shuangshuang and Lu Tingwan ambushed and fought guerrillas, to the east of Fengju City, Van was in full battle, took the king to see the king, and temporarily sent a Dutch soldier to shout: "Your Excellency the Far Eastern Governor, whether you are besieging or besieging the city, most of the lives in the city are your immigrants, if Your Excellency does not withdraw the army, we will guarantee that the life of an immigrant will die every second!" ”

Gao Zhibin and the other elder militiamen were suddenly stunned, and everyone looked at the compatriots on the city wall who were tied up and kneeled down, and their necks were close to bayonets, although they had the same tan skin and the same southeastern language, but ordinary compatriots would not pity their compatriots who had nothing to do with them, and there was a tradition of indifference and cruelty.

The point is that the elders and village chiefs are not the lowest people, they are also people in the Dutch colonial establishment, right? After all, many people have relatives and friends in the city.

Then, everyone in this group looked at Jia Cong with hope, Jia Cong's face turned dark, and he scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Hongyi ghost in his heart, and he suddenly stood up from his seat after putting on the armor heart guard, and he didn't know whether he was true or not, and immediately his eyes turned red, and he commanded the gunner loudly: "Release!" ”

The gunners still hesitated a few times, Jia Cong was ruthless, and actually went to light the fire in person, the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the city wall, aimed at the Dutch, and also aimed at those slaves, Guo Huaiyi was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Jia Cong: "I can't help it!" I can't help it! This cannon will shock people to death! ”

"Yes! Master Overseer, I can't help it! Chen Hua couldn't help but wipe his tears, unlike Jia Cong, who is also a descendant of immigrants, he is more familiar with and touched by this.

Gao Zhibin hesitated, trembling his body and lips trembling and pleaded: "My lord! The people of the city are innocent! ”

Jia Cong thought about it for a while, and said coldly: "If you withdraw from the army at this time, aren't the dead sons innocent?" Do you want to continue to be enslaved by foreign devils? Your generation is living well, how do you know that your children and grandchildren will not be enslaved? At this time, why not exchange their death for the new life of those who come after them? How could this not be the case with what the Doge did? ”

Gao Zhibin and other elders were speechless and couldn't refute it, and then with a "boom", the cannon on the high fort hit the city tower, and the flesh and blood flew up, and Van Dijk, who couldn't make this plan, could only retreat in cover, while scolding: "Crazy! Devil! Inhumane! God is about to take away these demons who have lost their humanity! ”

Today, Jia Cong is no longer the weak scholar he was at the beginning, he has experienced a lot of deaths and a lot of wars, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a general, and his calmness and hard-hearted heart are naturally cultivated from it.

Seeing the onslaught of artillery fire at all costs, the city walls were blown up, and the city gates were opened, the Chinese militia outside the city who were furious rushed into the front one after another, entering the city to fight in the streets, Devine's blonde hair was blowing in the wind, and she sighed silently and thought: "If it is replaced by a British colony...... The same will be done, but the groups of Far Easterners are more generous and less aggressive. ”

However, her judgment did not apply to Jia Cong and his army.

A dozen days later, the tide of battle turned sharply to Malacca, which was farther to the west.

[Note: It was all literary drama before, maybe the war was more boring, the author just started the rhythm a little faster, and the next two or three chapters wrote this military base, and I brought it over in a few strokes, maybe not a few people read it, so try to add more house dramas in the follow-up. 】
