Chapter 666: Let's Eat Iron Eggs! (Page 1/1)
The scene of hundreds of boats competing for the current and thousands of sails competing for progress was so spectacular, Zhang Dou stood on the bow of the ship and observed the city of Reshalan in the distance. When he saw the fortress built by the Dutch people, he couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the people who designed it.
This kind of fortress can give full play to the advantage of firepower on the largest scale, as long as there are a small number of troops and sufficient supplies, even ten times the number of troops will be smashed and bloody.
In fact, even in Europe, where the fortress was invented, people had no way to take it. The usual method used was to besiege until the defenders had run out of ammunition and food and surrendered.
Zhang Dou remembered that it took nine months for Zheng Chenggong to attack Reshalan City, and in order to ensure supplies, the first thing he did after besieging Reshalan City was to grow food.
After harvesting the food, he could ensure that his troops could continue to besiege the city of Rejaran without worrying about supplies, and during this time, he repelled the Dutch reinforcements over and over again, until finally forced the Dutch to surrender and obediently rolled out of Obaran Island.
Zhang Dou didn't plan to do this, and he didn't have nine months to waste on this Resharan City. He has the nemesis of the castle in his hand - heavy artillery, and with the 36-pounder Chuyang cannon, Zhang Dou doesn't believe that there is any castle that can stop the Changxing army.
If there is, then the 48-pounder Chuyang cannon on the battleship will be dismantled and transported over, as long as the firepower at the head of the city can be suppressed, what kind of fortified city is not a problem in the eyes of the Changxing army.
With little resistance from the Dutch at the port, the Changxing army easily captured the docks. The first thing the Changxing army did when it occupied the port was to consolidate the position of the port and respond to the subsequent landing of soldiers.
Zhang Dou sent a total of 5,000 soldiers of the Changxing Army to attack Reshalan City, of which 1,000 were soldiers of the death brigade, and the other 1,000 were indigenous soldiers trained on Taiyuan Island.
The Changxing army, which had occupied the wharf, began to be busy unloading the ships, and the boats full of soldiers docked and sent the rickety soldiers to the wharf.
The small harbor began to get busy, and for a while, it became the focus of the Changxing Army, and everyone was nervously busy trying to land as soon as possible.
Rejouz in the city of Resharan held a clairvoyant mirror to observe the Changxing army, and when he saw more and more soldiers landing, he couldn't help but show a sneering smile on his face.
Come on! Don't be afraid to come no matter how much you come! The city of Resharan has been built, and it is not afraid of the siege of the Changxing army at all. This kind of double-layered bastion would have caused an attacker to die even in Europe, let alone in the old East.
At this moment, he hoped that the onslaught of the Changxing army would ignore the casualties, so that he could consume the strength of the Changxing army in the city of Reshalan. When the Changxing army showed weakness, he could also launch a counterattack to defeat the Changxing army.
But this requires a prerequisite, and that is sufficient supplies. Due to the hasty construction of the city of Reshalan, many places were originally omitted.
The current city of Resharan can accommodate 5,000 people to garrison, and it is really a bit crowded with tens of thousands of people pouring in at once. And most importantly, the replenishment of the coalition fleet has just been carried out here.
Most of the supplies that had been hoarded for a year had already been loaded on ships, and now they could be used as trophies for the Changxing army in the port. Watching the enemy attack him on the food he had prepared, Rejoz couldn't say how aggrieved he was.
Rezhan has no materials to meet the consumption of more than 10,000 people, it is simply a fool's dream, according to the current number of people, it is lucky to be able to hold on for ten days.
But the Changxing army will definitely not give up Resharan City easily, if there is no food, the thought of that kind of consequence, Reyoz shuddered.
Rayoz immediately called for Colonel Walter of the Dry Lace People, "Mr. Colonel! We can't let the Ming people attack the city unscrupulously, that would be too big a blow to the morale of the city!
Could you please lead the LinkedIn Brave Dry Wax Army to attack, preferably to defeat the Ming people in the landing. Let the Akito know that even if they won the victory using despicable means at sea, it would be impossible to take the city of Reshalam! What do you think? ”
Walter didn't speak, looking at Reyoz meaningfully. It wasn't until he saw that Rayoz was a little weak that he spoke: "Your Excellency! Do you want us to die? Or is there not much supply in the city of Rejaram? ”
……
The two talked for a long time in the house before they came out, and Walter came out of the governor's quarters and went straight to the crowded barracks. On the spot, it was announced that the Changxing army would be defeated on the road, and that the despicable Ming people must not be allowed to touch the city of Reshalan.
It took a day and a half for the Changxing army to unload the army and its supplies on the dock, and during this time, the city of Resharan was very honest and did not send soldiers to harass the Changxing army.
This made Ma Jingbo, who had been in ambush for a long time, full of complaints, and the female relatives of the Dutch family were greeted by him, even those black and thin natives.
Knowing the dawn of the third day, the 5,000-strong army of the Changxing Army marched towards the city of Reshalan with Liu Xitian's heavy artillery. Along the way, Ma Jingbo followed behind Tao Lei's ass and muttered: "Brother Tao! What do you think the red-haired ghost will do if he doesn't come out? Look at that Lancheng, it's bigger than the one we built in the Beixinkou Fortress......"
"It's better not to come out! It's not like you've never seen the heavy artillery of the artillery team, such a big iron ball can smash the red-haired ghost to pieces! Tao Lei said disdainfully.
Without the support of the artillery team, he really had no confidence in attacking a fortress like Reshaland. But if there is an artillery team, it will be different, so far I have not found that it can resist the slamming of more than 30 catties of iron balls.
"And what if the red-haired ghost comes out?" Ma Jingbo is simply speechless, and the continuous sea life in the past few days has suffocated him.
Tao Lei said angrily: "If you come out, you will beat the special mother!" You kid so much nonsense! ”
Ma Jingbo smiled and said, "It's gone!" Ma Boy has one last question, and it's gone! ”
"Say!" Tao Lei said.
"Brother Tao! When the red-haired ghosts come out, we can only beat them, if we beat their mother, it is estimated that they will go to Europe, it is really not easy to do! After Ma Jingbo finished speaking, he turned around and ran, so angry that Tao Lei pointed at the back of this kid and scolded.
The gags of the two of them relieved the tension of the recruits when they went to war for the first time, and brought a lot of joy to the team.
The position of artillery in the Changxing army is very important, and Zhang Dou will not underestimate the importance of the god of war. Although the annealing artillery will be eliminated by hydraulic artillery sooner or later, it is still the most advanced at present.
But the disadvantage of the cannons is also very obvious, that is, it is too heavy. Two horses pulled 12-pounder guns, and with the help of a dozen artillerymen, they could advance on the sand with difficulty.
Liu Xitian looked at the Reshalan City in the distance and cursed: "Red-haired ghost! Wait to eat the iron eggs! ”
