Solving Tian Bin, the fish who slipped through the net to assassinate him, Zhang Qiang can finally rest assured, maybe the Qing army will not let him go, maybe the Dutch will hate themselves, they will have other actions, but at this moment, Zhang Qiang must be safe.

The next day, Baodao's slender and lazy figure appeared in Zhang Qiang's eyes.

On the blue sea, an island similar to a young woman lying on a blue carpet appeared in Zhang Qiang's eyes, far away, gradually approaching, getting closer, not so beautiful, because when you get closer, you can see countless primeval forests, countless fertile fields waiting to be developed, peaks, and here, some discordant things, such as a castle that is not an ancient Huaxia, appear in the eyes of everyone.

It can be seen that there are people besieging the castle on three sides, those people are wearing the robes of the Ming army, and the back of the chest is written Yong, Bing, or Zheng, Liu, Deng are written on the chest, or the words "Loyal Battalion", "Water Battalion", "Loyal Battalion", "Volunteer Battalion", "Expeditionary Army", "Shrimp Camp", "Guerrilla Battalion", and so on.

This is the Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty, and other feudal dynasty soldiers' attire, and those what battalions, because each unit belongs to the general, not to the country, with a flag to represent a certain general, with clothes and attire to indicate that it belongs to a certain army, and in a general led by the troops, each subordinate unit also has its own identification of clothing and emblem, or battalion number, such as the loyal battalion.

This is the same as a modern army, there are guards army, a certain hero company, a steel company, and other troops with special titles, but a battalion in the Ming Dynasty may be a part of a certain army, or a very large army, and it cannot be said that he is part of a certain army.

For example, under the command of He Tengjiao in Hunan and Hubei, the original Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses had their own battalion numbers, and when you mention whose soldier you are and which battalion you are in, you will know who the main general is, such as Li Guo, Li Zicheng's nephew.

Far away, to get back to business, a huge fleet appeared in the open sea, which brought great confidence to the people on shore, and many people could be seen cheering and running to the beach to meet them.

The fleet skirted the reef in turn to the improvised wooden docks on the shore.

A few miles away, he could vaguely see the figures on the castle, and Zhang Qiang thought that they must be saddened, because it was not their reinforcements who came, but the Ming army.

Zheng Chenggong's reinforcements, to be precise.

When he stepped on land, Zhang Qiang was still a little dizzy, and felt that he was stepping on cotton, this is because he is not a sailor, and he used to be a landlubber, he has never touched the sea, although with his physique, he did not get seasick, but people always have a process of adaptation.

"The last general, Feng Xin, will see the king." A young general stood under the dock with a sword in his hand, and Zheng Chenggong, who stepped down from the boat, bowed and saluted.

Zheng Chenggong looked with the majesty of the superior, and held his head up, "What's the situation here?" ”

Feng Xin said: "Your Majesty, there is still no progress, we have launched three attacks, more than 2,000 people have been killed and wounded, and we still haven't approached the castle, the enemy's artillery is too powerful." ”

Zheng Chenggong's face became very ugly.

Zhang Qiang knew that with the power of cannon fodder, it took Zheng Chenggong a year to defeat the castle guarded by hundreds of Dutch people.

The castle of the Dutch is sturdy and sturdy, and the diamond-shaped castle that is more respected by the later generations of the network is adopted, there are almost no defensive dead ends, and the attacking enemy needs to face the blows of the enemy on three sides at the same time, and under such dense firepower, it is necessary to board the enemy's castle, unless the enemy's forces are overstretched and cannot take care of all the places, and then the generals who are besieging the city must be good at discovering and seizing the opportunity to capture such a castle, and there will be heavy losses.

According to Zheng Chenggong's method of attacking the castle in history, he did not storm the castle, but besieged it on all sides, cut off food, grass, and water, and besieged the people in the castle to the point that there was no morale, and finally had to surrender.

Similar events include Constantinople, where it seems that the Persians besieged it for three years before it was defeated.

In the era when there were no cannons, catapults were the only things that could be used, but the weapon was relatively cumbersome, the range was shorter, and it could not prevent the enemy's cavalry from going out of the city to sneak attack, so it was very difficult to fight a strong city in ancient times.

"Don't we have artillery?" Zhang Qiang interjected.

"Alas, don't say it," Zheng Chenggong looked distressed.

"What's going on?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Zheng Tai explained beside him: "Lord Governor, the artillery of the Dutch is more powerful than ours, and with the help of the height of the city wall, they hit farther than our artillery, our artillery just approached the firing range, and was destroyed by the enemy's artillery. ”

"Take me to see your artillery." Zhang Qiang said.

"Who is this?" Feng Xin, who was standing on the side, said to Zheng Tai.

Zheng Tai introduced him: "This is the governor of Zhejiang who was sealed by Tang Wangfeng, Zhang Qiang, Lord Zhang, the sea is his sailor fleet, and he is the sailor of the imperial court. ”

"They're here to help us fight the Dutch?" Feng Xin asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes," Zheng Tai looked up at Zheng Chenggong, who was understanding the situation in the distance and directing his subordinates to carry supplies to the shore.

Next to Zhang Qiang followed Liu Guoxuan to beckon his troops to get off the boat, although the Jinhua Righteous Army is a force composed of southerners, but many of them are also the first time to go to sea by boat, it can be said that they are half a landlubber, at this time the footsteps are floating, dizzy, and they can't even walk in a straight line, and many people are pale, on the way here, they vomit all the things that can be vomited out of their stomachs to the deck, the sea, so their bodies are extremely weak.

Now let them fight, if they can pick up their weapons and hold up the armor on their bodies, they will be considered heroes.

With the help of Liu Guoxuan's troops, the men were stepping off the deck and resting on the beach before heading to their camp to rest.

Many of the sailors and sailors of the fleet have already been tested by the sea, and the sailors on board are moving supplies through the docks to the shore, and then there are wagons to transport them to the camp.

Zhang Qiang is very glad that he came on such a trip, otherwise he will have to fight with pirates in the future, or go on an expedition to the sea, fight the Dutch, or the Portuguese, then he will have very few available troops in his hands, and in the absence of actual experience, he may send other troops to the expedition, look at this, once the enemy raids, a counterattack, these troops will all have to go to the sea to feed the fish.
