As soon as Gan Hui took a step, he was stopped by Zheng Chenggong.

Seeing the movements of Gan Hui and others, Zheng Lian's personal soldiers were also busy pulling out their sharp knives at this time, and stepped forward to form a half circle around Zheng Lian, guarding against Zheng Chenggong and others.

Zheng Lian was also a little worried at this time, pushed away the beauty in his arms, stood up and stared at Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly pulled Gan Hui back behind him, and arched his hand to Zheng Lian to apologize: "Since Uncle Cousin is unwell, then Yan Ming won't bother much." ”

Zheng Lian didn't dare to really conflict with Zheng Chenggong, he waved his hand, let Zheng Chenggong and the others go out, and continued to lie in Gentle Township to enjoy themselves.

Zheng Chenggong walked out of the main hall with a straight face, his face gloomy and terrifying.

Gan Hui stepped forward and said, "General, it was the two brothers Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian who were incompetent and couldn't attack Hayden, so they came to our coalition to attack Hayden. Now, on the contrary, they look down on our army and humiliate you, my lord. Which is tolerable or which is unbearable, why didn't the general let me wait for him to teach him a good lesson. so that he can remember it for a long time. “

Huang Wu said angrily, "Yes, General! This kind of humiliation will be unbearable in the end. “

Zheng Chenggong raised his hand to stop them.

Zheng Chenggong said: "I know what you want to say, but the Manchu Qing is our biggest enemy, and we must not engage in infighting now." It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but now we will be patient for the time being, and everything will be occupied by Haicheng, and we will talk about it when our power is strong. Let them be arrogant, and there will be a time for revenge in the future. ”

Zheng Chenggong looked back at the main hall inside the ship, and there was a cold hatred in his eyes!

Back in his camp, Zheng Chenggong smashed all the items in the camp tent and greeted the immediate family members of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian.

After Zheng Chenggong scolded Zheng Lian in the room, he was still angry, and scolded Zheng Zhilong again.

Not to mention that people were controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they also handed over Xiamen to others to be in charge.

Now you are being oppressed by others, and you are angry with your "son" everywhere.

You deserve to be held hostage by the Manchus, and you deserve to be bullied by the Manchus.

After venting, Zheng Chenggong was not interested in waiting for Zheng Lian's army any longer, so he called people to beat drums and gather generals to prepare to attack the city.

After the three-way drum sounded, all the soldiers of the Zheng family army were ready.

Erected the handsome banner of "Loyal and Filial Uncle Recruits General Zheng", Zheng Chenggong led the army and began to slowly advance towards Haiden City.

There was still an arrow range from the city wall, and Zheng Chenggong stopped at the horse.

The drums of war ceased, and the army was ready to fight. The military police supervised behind the army, and Zheng Chenggong ordered the military judge to hold high an iron pole in front of the army, and hang a large flag with a bright red line on the flag, "Those who do not need to die before the army will be killed, and those who retreat in front of the battle will be killed."

The wind blew, and the big flag fluttered in the wind, which was unusually conspicuous on the battlefield.

The soldiers looked at the banner and immersed themselves, and the entire battlefield was silent.

Among Zheng Chenggong's army, the proportion of recruits is very high.

Although the recruits have been undergoing three or four months of intensive military training, they have also trained hard.

But training and fighting a war are completely different things, training will only be hard, but on the battlefield people will die.

The silence of the battlefield, the quiet atmosphere, and the fear of death have changed the mood of the recruits.

Nervousness and even fear began to envelop these recruits, and almost all of the recruits nervously clutched their weapons, pushing too hard to cause their tendons to protrude.

His face was pale, his hands were shaking, and his legs were limp.

Some of the recruits kept looking around, begging for a modicum of comfort.

If this nervous and fearful mood is allowed to continue, these recruits may collapse, or even turn around and flee, so that Zheng Chenggong's newly raised army can be disbanded.

When Zheng Chenggong was just reborn as a leader, he also experienced this. Now it was his turn to lead the army alone, and he certainly knew the mentality of these recruits at the moment, and he knew the consequences of such a thing.

Now see the change in the mindset of the recruits.

Zheng Chenggong immediately dismounted and patrolled back and forth among the troops, scolding and scolding while inspecting, and even habitually slapped some of them.

"You little guys, what are you shivering! Afraid of a bird, Lao Tzu abandoned his pen half a year ago, and dared to fight the enemy with a knife on the battlefield, and now he is not still alive. ”

"Hold your knives tightly, and when it's time to attack, just follow the big army and charge forward, you know?"

……

Seeing the general who has been training himself like a demon, he is teaching himself a lesson in habitual ways.

Let these wandering and frightened recruits find their backbone, and they slowly calmed down and were no longer afraid.

Seeing that the recruits had almost eased up, Zheng Chenggong did not hesitate at the moment and gave an order.

The drums of war rumbled!

Besiege!

After Zheng Chenggong saw the siege of the city with artillery with his own eyes in this era, he finally understood why in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a method of attacking the city with ants piled up with artillery and human lives.

The shells of this era were almost all solid shells, three-pound and six-pound guns, and when one shot passed, they could only hit a single hole in the city wall.

In the face of a thick city wall, without a hundred rounds of shells, it is simply impossible to smash a city wall apart.

Moreover, the metallurgical technology of this era was very backward, and the manufactured artillery could not withstand continuous firing.

A dozen rounds in a row may blow up.

And the operation of this artillery made Zheng Chenggong look very painful.

The artillery of this era was a retired front-loading smoothbore gun, after firing once, it had to be filled with water into the barrel, extinguish the fire star, use a wooden stick tied with a dry cloth to reach into the barrel to dry, and then fill it with gunpowder, combustibles, stuff the shell, and then light it again.

In one process, even the most skilled gunner can only fire once in two minutes.

And after each fire, the gun mount seriously deviated from the original firing position under the recoil of gunpowder.

It is necessary to push and pull with both hands, reset it and reload, set the direction and elevation angle again, and finally fire.

After reading it, Zheng Chenggong's evaluation of the entire artillery firing process is that the power is okay, but it is quite cumbersome, and the siege pool is better.

Although the three-pound and six-pounder guns weigh 1-2 thousand kilograms, as long as they have enough charge, they can still be pulled to the battlefield to bombard the city.

But if you want to pull them to the field, you have to fuck up, the cannon body is bulky and cannot quickly transfer positions, not to mention.

It takes three or four people to operate a cannon and then it takes two or three minutes to fire a shell.

The solid bullet is a straight line, plus the ejection after landing, and more than a dozen people will be killed.

In two or three minutes, an ordinary horse can run about 2,500 meters.

Once or twice the artillery is fired, the cavalry will rush in front of you, and if there is no strong defense, it is equivalent to buying one get one free, that is, giving the opponent a cannon and adding a few gunners.

Zheng Chenggong calculated in his heart that if he wanted to completely restrain the cavalry, he needed an artillery that did not need to be too far, but the power must be strong enough and the firing speed should be fast enough.

In this way, a saturation attack can be formed, which can be devastating to the cavalry.

It's just that after seeing the operation of the imitation Xiyi cannon, Zheng Chenggong doubts that this era can make such artillery.
