The battle lasted two hours, and at 3 p.m., the British occupied the Dutch trenches west of the city, and the Dutch and indigenous people all withdrew into Pontianak City.

Lin Fei looked at the dead bodies all over the battlefield and was secretly happy in his heart, he turned around and called a subordinate and ordered: "Go to the British camp in a while to inquire and see how many British, Dutch and natives have died." ”

A subordinate agreed, and was just about to leave, when Lin Fei suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”

The subordinates stopped, walked to Lin Fei's side and asked, "Your Majesty, what else do you command?" ”

Lin Fei smiled mysteriously, "I'm going to the British military camp in person." ”

Zhang Chuang hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice, the British army is now fighting a bloody battle with the Dutch army, if you go to their barracks, I am afraid that it will be dangerous." ”

"Don't worry, there will be no danger." Lin Fei shook his head and said, "The Dutch army has suffered a big defeat for the first time, and now it has absolutely no ability to counterattack. ”

Zhang Chuang persuaded again: "But Your Majesty, you don't need to go in person, aren't you just to find out the number of casualties?" Let's just go. ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I went this time, not only to find out the casualties of the British army, but also to assess the British army's ability to withstand and see when they will not be able to withstand the huge pressure on the battlefield." ”

What do you mean by that? I don't understand. Zhang Chuang showed a blank expression, Lin Fei smiled, "I can't explain this, anyway, I'm going to go in person, don't say more, come with me." ”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he took five elite soldiers and rode a fast horse to the British military camp, and heard a wail in the military camp from a distance, all of which were sent by the wounded, Lin Fei saw the sentry to explain his identity and asked to see the supreme commander of the British army.

Thompson was also surprised when he heard that Lin Fei was coming, and hurriedly came out to see Lin Fei, the two sides introduced each other, and exchanged a few polite words, Lin Fei smiled and said: "I'm here to find Mr. Claroz, we are also old friends, why don't you see him?" ”

Thompson replied: "Mr. Claros is a diplomat, not a soldier, how can he charge into battle like we do?" He's on the ship now, and if we can take Pontianak along the way, he'll come to Pontianak. ”

Lin Fei asked, "Then what if you can't beat Pontianak for a while?" Is he always on the boat? ”

Thompson smiled and said firmly: "We must take Pontianak in a short time, our logistical supply lines are too long to delay." ”

Lin Fei nodded lightly and asked, "General Thompson, how are your casualties in this battle?" ”

Thompson's expression darkened, "We lost more than 200 people killed in battle, and many more were wounded, alas, I didn't expect the Dutch army to be so difficult to fight... Before the war, we thought that the Dutch were going to fight us in the field, but we didn't expect that they would have dug trenches, otherwise we would not have lost so many people. ”

Lin Fei said a few words of sympathy, and then asked: "You just said that you must conquer Pontianak in a short time, I don't know how much time this short time refers to?" ”

Thompson hesitated, "Mr. Lin Fei, this question involves our military secrets, and I can't answer it. ”

Lin Fei smiled heartily, "I'm really sorry, I asked too recklessly, and I shouldn't have asked such a question, okay, since Mr. Claros is not in the barracks, I'll go back first." After Lin Fei finished speaking, he left the condolences such as wine and meat to the British army, and then came out of the British army's camp, on the way Lin Fei smiled at Zhang Chuang and said: "The British army must most hope to take Pontianak within three days." ”

Zhang Chuang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why three days?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I just paid special attention to the grain reserves of the British army in the barracks, and now the British army has not had time to set up too many tents, so the situation in the barracks is unobstructed, and I have not seen the vehicles transporting grain, so I am sure that the British army has not brought much food." ”

Zhang Chuang said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid your judgment is not accurate, the British army is here to attack the city this time, even if it brings a vehicle to transport grain, it will not be brought to the city, and it will definitely be placed in the port." ”

Lin Fei shook his head and said: "I just paid special attention to the personal equipment of the British soldiers, and found that everyone has a grain bag, and the bag is full, if they have a vehicle to transport grain, there is no need to carry the grain with them, I judge by observing the size of their grain bags, the food of the British army is only enough for three days, if they can't enter the city after three days, and they can't get the food supply in the city, they must rely on the rear to transport food." ”

Zhang Chuang gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "You can see this? It's a god..."

Lin Fei smiled nonchalantly and said, "When the British army runs out of ammunition and food and is exhausted, it is the perfect time for us to make a move." ”

Lin Fei took his subordinates to the high ground, they almost just returned to the high ground, there were explosions under Pontianak City, Lin Fei hurriedly raised his telescope to look at Pontianak City, only to see a cloud of black smoke and fire rising on the city wall, it turned out that the British army launched an attack on Pontianak City.

Pontianak City is not strong, a shell explosion can blow off a large piece of masonry, and soon there will be a lot of gaps in the city wall, Lin Fei's brows can't help frowning, what if the Dutch army admits in front of the British army, abandons the city and flees, or surrenders directly? Then Pontianak is British...

Lin Fei's heart hung in the air, called the Dutch translator, and said: "You take a few people who are familiar with the situation in Pontianak to the east, north and south gates of the city to keep an eye on, and once you find that the Dutch army has signs of fleeing and retreating, notify me immediately." The interpreter agreed, and led the people away.

The shelling continued, and two hours later, several gaps of more than 30 meters were blasted out of the entire western wall, but it was late at this time, and the British did not attack, but only deployed their troops outside the gaps.

At nightfall, the British artillery fire did not stop, hitting the city wall every now and then, this is the British army is attacking, Lin Fei also likes to use artillery like this, at 11 o'clock in the evening, the interpreter who entered the city suddenly sent someone to inform Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, the Dutch army in the city has signs of escape..."

Lin Fei slapped his thigh when he heard the news, he was really afraid of something, he hurriedly said to the person who reported the news: "Immediately go to my liaison officer who stayed with Su Manweil and ask him to tell Su Manwell immediately, I have a clever plan to prevent the Dutch army from escaping, and let Su Manwell immediately send someone to ask me." ”

The messenger agreed, and just as he was about to leave, Lin Fei hurriedly stopped him, shook his head and said, "No, I can't let people know that I gave the Dutch army a plan, that would anger the British." ”

Lin Fei picked up the pen and paper on the table as he spoke, wrote a paragraph on the paper, then stuffed the paper into the envelope, handed the envelope to the messenger, and instructed: "My plan is in the letter, tell Sù my liaison officer, use his personal capacity to inform Su Manwell of this plan, and then let him knock Su Manwell hard after informing him of the strategy, so that others will think that he is because of money." ”

The messenger hurriedly agreed, and returned to the city to find Lin Fei's liaison officer, this liaison officer was named "Xie Mingfeng", an agent trained by Lin Fei, who had been doing business in the Dutch East Indies and spoke fluent Dutch, and was left by Lin Fei by Sumanweil's side as a liaison officer.

Xie Mingfeng heard the messenger tell him about the matter, opened the envelope and took out the letter paper, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, knew Lin Fei's strategy by heart, took out a match and burned Lin Fei's letter, and then went to see Su Manwei.

Although Lin Fei reminded Su Manwell that he could not fight in the field, Su Manwell still did not have the slightest good impression of Lin Fei and the Huaxia Empire, so he was lukewarm to Xie Mingfeng, and today he heard that Xie Mingfeng wanted to see him, so he immediately put on a shelf and said "no", Xie Mingfeng had no choice but to say that Su Manwell was worried about the escape of the Dutch army, and hurriedly met Xie Mingfeng in the reception room.

Su Manwei saw Xie Mingfeng and asked directly: "You said you have a clever plan, but I don't know what this clever plan is?" ”

Xie Mingfeng smiled slyly, "My trick wasn't given to you for nothing, I asked for money." ”

Su Manwell scolded "damn yellow pig" in his heart, and then said, "How much do you want?" ”

Xie Mingfeng said with a smile: "Five thousand taels of gold, if you agree, you will make a deal, and if you don't agree, forget it." ”

Five thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, Su Manwei's brows furrowed, but the military situation was urgent, and he didn't have the heart to bargain, so he said: "Okay, I promise you, five thousand taels of gold will be five thousand taels of gold." ”

"It's so refreshing..."Xie Mingfeng laughed loudly, "The fundamental reason why the Dutch army fled was that the British army was too strong, so the soldiers were afraid, so they fled one after another, if you defeated the British army, wouldn't all the difficulties be solved?" ”

Su Manwell was furious when he heard Xie Mingfeng's words, "People are running away, what can I do to win against the British army?" I think you're here to make fun of me..."

Xie Mingfeng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Although the British army is strong, after all, there are not many people and they don't carry many weapons and ammunition, why don't you use the 'crowd tactic'?" There are so many of you that even if every bullet of the British army kills one of you, the bullets will be almost exhausted. ”

Sumanwell slapped the table hard, "Bastard, what kind of bullshit are you doing?" You're making our heroic Dutch warriors commit suicide..."

Xie Mingfeng laughed, "I didn't say that I had to let you Dutch soldiers block the bullets, aren't there hundreds of thousands of natives in the city?" Why don't you let them block the bullets? ”

Sumanwell's eyes lit up suddenly, yes... There are hundreds of thousands of natives in the city, and if they are used to block the bullets, the British will definitely not be able to hold it, Su Manwei slapped the table excitedly and said: "Notify the bank, and immediately transfer five thousand taels of gold to Xie Mingfeng's name." ”

Xie Mingfeng listened to Su Manwei's words, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a majesty, it's really too powerful, one move drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, and at the same time weakened the strength of the British and natives, and also earned back five thousand taels of gold for our Huaxia Empire..."
