Hauge did not give Zheng Zhilong any respite, since he did not surrender, he accepted the challenge, and war was still the only key to solving the problem.

A row of 26-pounder cannons was lined up not far from Quanzhou City, aimed at the city wall, and then there was a round of artillery bombardment, attacking the city with artillery has become the first choice of the Manchu army, which is the siege method with the least casualties, sometimes the cannon is opened, people will open the city gate, so this is the simplest and most direct way in Haoge's view.

It's just that he forgot who the opponent he met now, and the current encounter was Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong is known as the king of the southeast, but he is not covered, and there are only people under his hands who have ships and weapons, especially Australian weapons are no less than those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After knowing the power of artillery, he paid special attention to the import and preservation of artillery, and tried his best to arm his team with an artillery, which was the most lethal weapon on the battlefield.

Even if the cavalry encountered, it was not in a rut, so after the Manchu army ran and fired, Lao Zheng also gave the order to open the artillery, so the two sides used artillery to fight, first using artillery for a round of battle.

Seeing that the other party also began to use artillery, Hauge came up with another way to break up from the side, but when he led people there, he found that the side was also dug a trench, which was also filled with water, and the horses could not pass at all, this time it can be said that they encountered a problem.

Originally, he wanted to rely on building a wooden bridge, but the soldiers guarding found out and immediately shot, and the rain of bullets passed by, and Hauge realized that he might have misestimated Zheng Zhilong's strength.

To be able to exist in Fujian for such a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it if we only rely on the strength of the sea. There must also be strength on land.

When did these soldiers of the Zheng family army become so capable of fighting, which made Haoge a little surprised.

A bad thought popped into his head, wouldn't it be as Dorgon said? This is a ploy, Zheng Zhilong has calculated all the way to lead himself into a lonely army, and finally come to a decisive battle, it seems that this is indeed the case, this time I am afraid that I will suffer a lot.

However, Hauge is a veteran of the battlefield for many years, and he will not retreat at this time, even if he knows that it is a ploy. It's about his honor, and it's also about giving up the big chassis he laid in front of him, which he can't do.

Even if it was given to him by Zheng Jiajun. But he also believes that it must be his own hard work.

One mistake can lead to a mistake in the whole war, and this time Hauge felt a little bit of that.

He regretted that he had not listened to Dorgon, and now it seemed that he was right, even though the war was difficult to fight. But Hauge has decided. Be sure to take Quanzhou well, and let Dolgon see that he was wrong once.

It's just that Zheng Zhilong won't give him this opportunity, Lao Zheng gathered more than 50,000 people from all over the country just to teach him a heavy lesson, and now he can be defeated by you, this army is raised for a thousand days, and it is used for a while, but there are Australian instructors in his own army.

The Australians personally instructed them to dig up the current fortifications, as well as to arm them. Unless Hauge Lane has enough artillery to attack, or something happens to Zheng Zhilong's side. Otherwise, this city will not be captured at all.

According to the meaning of Australia, the city of Quanzhou, in the future, will be taken over by Australia, and now these fortifications are completely built here in accordance with their own future, in order to support the Zheng family, Australia specially exported 20 coffee mill machine guns, this thing is a good thing.

Encountering cavalry is a killing weapon, Hauge has not really seen his power, the last time he was in Nanjing City, he successfully dodged, and now he can't dodge.

Hauge continued to attack, wanting to use the crowd tactics to defeat the opponent, but this intention was quickly seen through by Zheng Jiajun, who activated the coffee mill machine gun, known as the meat grinder.

Some people don't even dare to sprint forward, after all, the people in front of them died very miserably, and these people who rushed to the front are cannon fodder.

They were all former Ming troops, and now seeing such a powerful lethal weapon from the other party, they naturally didn't dare to sprint forward, so they had to retreat.

On the one hand, Hauge watched helplessly as the people retreated, and on the other hand, he couldn't think of any way to solve it, so he had to charge again, but several sprints were obviously knocked down. The opponent uses firepower to suppress, as well as the hidden fortress trench and so on, which has completely constituted a fortification, which is difficult to break through at all, and can only wait until the other party relaxes if you want to break through.

If you want to wait until the other party relaxes, I am afraid it is not easy, the other party is not so easy to relax, at this time the other party is the best time to counterattack, how can they give up.

Sure enough, as Hauge thought, after the other party repelled the attack, he used the terrain to launch a counterattack, and step by step After all, he gradually approached the Chinese army where Hauge was sitting, which is not a good thing, Hauge immediately took action, organized the manpower to attack again, and used the musket formation to suppress, barely suppressed the other party and did not continue to advance, but he also suffered a lot of losses.

Zheng Zhilong in Quanzhou City held a telescope, looked at Haoge being forced to retreat, and the corpses discarded on the battlefield, and showed a knowing smile, this time Haoge's losses were at least no less than 3,000 people, if he still wants to continue to attack, then Quanzhou is his burial place, it can be said that Haoge is not exaggerated.

Now Zheng Zhilong is a little pity that he has given this place to the Australians, according to the contract, this war is over, this place will be taken over by Australia, and Australia will send troops to garrison it.

Lao Zheng has to admire the Australians, in fact, as long as the fortifications are sufficient, relying on thousands of people can completely defend the city, but since he has promised the Australians, he must abide by the agreement, otherwise with the Australian character, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around.

After all, the Australian old built here, knowing the deployment here, the possibility of wanting to use this place to fight the Australians is too low, the other party can build here, just like knowing how to crack the fortifications here.

So to a large extent, Zheng Zhilong is now just borrowing the fortifications of the Australians to fight, and when the war is over, he still has to return this place to Australia.

As for why Australia always wants to be here, he doesn't know what the reason is, but since they can build this place so steadily, they must have their purpose, and I don't know what benefits Shen Youlong of Liangguang has given them, let the other party help them like this, if there is the support of Australians and they will dominate the world, it will be easy to capture.
