Zheng Xing's follow-up troops arrived at Malacca City and joined Liang Yong, by which time half of the soldiers of the 5th Marine Division on the transport ship had already landed, and the two Marine Divisions had completed the encirclement of Malacca City.

The marines did not immediately attack the city, they were waiting for Zheng Zhilong's latest order, anyway, the Portuguese soldiers were cowering in the city, and they did not dare to break through for a while.

Zheng Zhilong went ashore with the last soldiers on the transport ship, and he was to personally command the siege of the city.

The landing of the Marines from the port of Malacca and the completion of the siege of the city of Malacca was the second step in his plan, and he was to achieve his third goal, which was to make a forced landing of Portuguese soldiers in the city.

The Ming army had a huge advantage in numbers, and completely controlled the Malacca waterway, if Zheng Zhilong wanted to attack the city, he could completely break the city, it was only a matter of time.

However, the Portuguese soldiers in the city all have fire # guns, and there are artillery at the head of the city, if they really want to attack, the Ming army will definitely pay the price of casualties, and it has become the consensus of the South China Sea Fleet to exchange the minimum price for the greatest victory.

Moreover, the order given to him by Zhu Youzhen was to occupy and control the Malacca waterway, not to eliminate the Portuguese soldiers, and there would be commercial contacts between the Ming and Portugal in the future.

If the Portuguese governor Manodi surrendered, Zheng Zhilong would definitely accept it, although there was no convention to protect prisoners of war, but Zheng Zhilong guaranteed with his personality that as long as the Portuguese soldiers surrendered, he would guarantee the safety of these prisoners of war, and after the end of the war, he would unconditionally release these prisoners of war.

As for the property in the city, it was to be confiscated in full, which was the spoils of war of the Ming army, as compensation for the casualties of the soldiers and the consumption of ammunition.

After dinner, Zheng Zhilong summoned Zheng Xing and Yang Geng.

"Two division commanders, let's talk about it, how to break the city next?" Zheng Zhilong believes that the current Portuguese soldiers have become turtles in the urn, and the victory of the Ming army is in sight, and the rest of the thing is that the Ming army will win the final victory at the cost of how many casualties.

"Assault, our army has a huge numerical advantage, and in less than two days, Malacca City will belong to us," Yang Geng had just come ashore, he had been nesting on the transport ship, and so far, he had not made an inch, and he longed for the opportunity of the Fifth Marine Division to make meritorious contributions.

"Commander, you can dismantle the naval guns, or you can move the shore guns to the city, ~□dǐng~□diǎn~□ small~□ said, .2$3.os_ ♂(); But the shore artillery can only fire solid bullets, which are far less powerful than solid bullets. "Zheng Xing used this tactic when he attacked Taiwan, and the effect was not bad.

"You all think you're going to attack the city?" Zheng Zhilong laughed, "This is the reason why I want to personally command the battlefield battle, you show me that there is no need to attack the city, I can also make Ma Nuodi submit and finally occupy Malacca City." ”

"Commander......

"Commander......

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, about to end this short military meeting, "You guard the gates of the city, don't let the Portuguese go." ”

"Commander, rest assured, we will definitely be able to intercept the Portuguese in the city," although Zheng Xing didn't know Zheng Zhilong's strategy, Zheng Zhilong's self-confidence infected him, "Besides, the Portuguese have now lost all their ships, and even if they break through the city, they can't find their way home." ”

"Still, don't take it lightly."

"Yes, Commander."

Two marine divisions and more than 20,000 elite soldiers surrounded the city of Malacca, and in the Malacca waterway, the ships of the South China Sea Fleet had completely controlled the Malacca waterway.

But Zheng Zhilong did not attack this lonely city.

Malacca City is the center of Portuguese rule in Nanyang, although the city is not large, but the city wall is made of stone, relatively thick, and there are artillery defenses on all sides, it should be a strong city.

Zheng Zhilong is not without confidence in breaking through the city, the Ming army is not short of artillery, his purpose is to attack the heart.

The city of Malacca was besieged by the Ming army for three days, Zheng Zhilong only inspected the Ming army besieging the city from all sides, and there was no appearance of attacking the city at all, the Portuguese in the city were stunned, what was the Ming army going to do?

Zheng Zhilong inspected all the city gates in a leisurely manner, he didn't have to worry about it now, when the war began, he was still a little worried about the Dutch ships, would they take the opportunity to make trouble, now he has put his mind at ease, the grape people are at the end of the road, the Dutch will save them?

Moreover, it was only the soldiers of the Marine Corps who besieged the city, and the main ships of the South China Sea Fleet were stationed in Temasek, firmly guarding the entrance to the Malacca waterway, and even if the Dutch sent ships, they would not be able to break through Temasek.

After the sky was dark, Zheng Zhilong returned to the military tent, and his soldiers unfolded a map, which was the map of the Portuguese army drawn by the Ming detectives who entered Malacca City in advance, the map was very detailed, the military camp, ammunition depot, commercial and trade bureau, residential areas, the governor's palace, etc., it was clear at a glance that the residents of Malacca City, some of them were Han Chinese, and even the governor's palace had Han people in service, and the interrogators were easy to mix among the Han people and go around to investigate the enemy.

Although the interrogators were unable to obtain the real "Portuguese Army Defense Map", the map drawn by Tongguò field observation was relatively accurate.

Zheng Zhilong slammed his fist on the desk, "These interrogations are really not vegetarians, with this defense map, Ma Nuodi can't even think about surrendering." ”

An hour later, ten lanterns slowly rose from the barracks of the Ming army, and the lanterns were wrapped in black cloth, so the light was not conspicuous, and no one would notice these small fires flying in the air.

After the fire diǎn rose to the sky, it followed the east wind, almost from the head of the defenders of the east city gate, and slowly drifted westward, and the Portuguese defenders at the head of the city were closely watching the Ming army outside the city, and no one took these small fire diǎn seriously.

The city was dark, whether it was the soldiers or the people, they had already fallen asleep, only the defenders at the head of the city and the soldiers patrolling along the city wall were still sticking to their posts, they didn't know if the Ming army would take advantage of the darkness to suddenly launch a sneak attack.

In several corners of the city, faint bonfires suddenly appeared, and due to the obstruction of various buildings, it was difficult to find these bonfires even at the head of the city.

If you look over these buildings and look down from above, these bonfires will be unobstructed.

Although the campfires are faint, they are just the right thing to point the way for the nightkin in this dark night.

After receiving instructions from the ground, the small fire diǎn in mid-air began to spread in all directions, and after a while, the small fire diǎn had already floated to the sky above the various bonfires just now.

The black cloth that covered the light of the fire was removed in turn, one, two, three...... When ten huge fireballs suddenly appeared in the air, this was their predetermined code, and when the black cloth was opened, it was time to drop the bomb.

Ten "Ten Thousand Enemies" weighing forty catties were burned by diǎn one after another, and one of their tails was burning, but the burning fireworks were too small and completely shrouded in lights, not to mention the ground, even the Ming soldiers who burned them were not real.

When the tail was less than an arm's length left, the "10,000 enemies" left the tail hook and were thrown from mid-air.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were asleep, and during this imminent war, there were absolutely no idlers who got up in the middle of the night to count the stars.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The sound of ten explosions in succession disturbed the sweet dreams of the soldiers and civilians in the city, especially the soldiers in the city, the explosions were near them, and even at the head of the bed where they slept.

In this quiet night, when there were no insects chirping, the loud explosion was too terrifying.

The explosions were mainly in the barracks and the ammunition depot of the Portuguese army, and then several larger explosions were heard, and it turned out that the Portuguese ammunition depot was detonated, and a secondary explosion occurred.

The Governor's Palace, the barracks, and the ammunition depot were like a pan having been blown up, especially the barracks, and the screams of the wounded soldiers almost continued the explosion of "10,000 enemies", which was more alarming than the explosion.

The uninjured soldiers, who were awakened from their sleep, were under the tremendous pressure of the Ming army besieging and not attacking for several days, and they directly attributed the injuries of their companions to the fact that the Ming army was attacking, and since the explosion was in the barracks, it meant that the Ming army had entered the city.

The Portuguese soldiers were looking for guns in a panic, as long as they found a fire # gun, they didn't care if this fire # gun was their own, and in the dark night, they used it first.

The figure outside flickered, the infantry of the Ming army should have entered the city, damn it, why didn't the Ming army enter the city openly? I chose to sleep on a night like this, which is a good time to sleep.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The Portuguese soldier who grabbed the gun fired, as long as there was a figure outside, it would be shot by the soldiers, and in the chaotic times of the night, if you don't shoot others, others will shoot you, and there is only one place where people are safe.

But where can you find such a vacuum?

The Governor's Palace was also patronized by a "Ten Thousand Enemies", and Governor Manodi was very fortunate to be unscathed, and when he heard the dense gunfire in the city, he would rather fall into this huge explosion, and it would be a relief if he could die without pain at the hands of the Ming army.

Mano brought a bowl of cold water and poured it on his head, which completely dispelled the sleepiness, he calmed down, and found that the gunshots came from the barracks, "Could it be that the Ming army attacked the barracks?" ”

"No, Lord Governor, why didn't you hear the guns of the Ming army attacking the city? I didn't see the defenders of the various city gates report the entry of the Ming army into the city. ”

"Huh? Could it be that the soldiers bombed the camp? "Manodi was shocked, now the soldiers are under a lot of pressure, in this dark night, if the soldiers bomb the camp, it will be troublesome, he just heard about the soldiers bombing the camp, at that time, the soldiers will fall into a state of madness, no one can persuade them, until they kill each other to the end.

"Bombing the camp? No way? I heard a violent explosion just now, and it seemed that there was also an explosion near the Governor's Palace, and it was likely that a small group of troops of the Ming army entered the city and attacked secretly. ”

If this is the case, Ma Nuodi does not have to worry, as long as this group of Ming troops is shot, the riots in the city will naturally subside, "Immediately send people to the various city gates to find out whether there are a large number of Ming troops entering the city." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor."

"All the soldiers of the Governor's Palace, follow me to the barracks to check and see what is going on with the explosions and gunshots."

"Yes, Lord Governor, the soldiers are already up, just the whole team."

"Then why don't you go to the whole team?" As soon as Mano doesn't come out, when is it now, and there is still time to delay? In case the military camp is breached by the Ming army, then the entire Malacca city will be finished, and without soldiers, who will stop the Ming army from attacking the city?
