Chapter 116: Confident (Three Watches, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Sir, the natives have already begun to attack!"

In the Doge's Palace, the Governor of Virginia receives news that he least wants to hear.

Damn indigenous bastards, can't you just wait a bit!

In fact, after Zhao Hongyu occupied that stronghold and controlled the traffic artery, he always wanted to send troops to recapture it.

But after several failures, he knew that these natives were not easy to mess with.

So, the offensive stopped.

At the same time, he also transferred his team into the city of Yaksari and preserved it as a defensive force.

This gave Zhao Hongyu a chance to rest.

Although the city of Yaksari is populous, not all of them are warriors.

Many of them are women and children, which make up a large part of the population.

At the same time some businessmen and timid guys, they cannot be counted either.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the number of people who can become warriors in the city of Yaksari is about 10,000.

This doesn't seem like a low number, but the Governor still has a serious problem, and that is that he doesn't have a lot of weapons here.

Yes, the militia, which was originally armed, has already been transferred to attack the Mohicans.

And a large number of weapons in the city of Yaksari were also taken away by the regular troops, so the weapons in the city of Yaksari were very scarce.

Don't look at the number of them, but you can't fight the natives with your bare hands.

In order to fend off the threat of Zhao Hongyu and the natives, the Governor even promised the captains of the three ships that came to trade and asked for their help.

In this way, the city of Yaksari organized a force of two thousand men.

Zhao Hongyu and the others lined up and stopped at the gate west of Yaksari City, and Zhao Hongyu ordered the artillery to fire.

"Ten salvos, and then depending on the situation, decide on the next step."

After giving such an order, Zhao Hongyu walked back.

"My plan is this, you see this is a diagram of the streets in the city of Yaksari." Zhao Hongyu squatted on the ground, picked up a branch in his hand and began to draw.

Through the prisoner's intelligence and his observations on the nearby hills, Zhao Hongyu already knew the situation in Yaksari City.

Wang Shan, Song Hu, and Lamour all gathered around, looking down at the topographical map of Yaksari City drawn by Zhao Hongyu.

"We are now on the west side of the city, and all the information I have, the gold coins of Yaksari City, are concentrated in this place." He nodded on the east side of the figure, and then continued: "So after we attack the city, we must quickly concentrate all our strength to get there. We can't waste much time, after all, we don't need to take that gold with us, do we? ”

Wang Shan laughed hehe, "The leader has a big killing weapon, of course it saves a lot of trouble." Song Hu raised his hand and stroked it, frowned and asked with some concern, "How can we evacuate?" It's easy to say that it's easy to storm the city, and it's very easy. But how we will withdraw from this city, it is not something not to think about. ”

yes, it's easy to rush in. But if you rush in and want to get out, it's a bit difficult.

If the British shut down and beat the dogs, none of them will end well.

After all, the population of the city is there, and you can't hold it down with your shotgun.

Besides, even if the shotgun is powerful, it is also cumbersome to reload, which is very time-consuming.

Clean the barrel, reload gunpowder and buckshot, and finally fill the powder pot with gunpowder. It's just that the step of installing the lead is omitted, and the accuracy is improved. …,

Therefore, the battle situation in the city is not very optimistic.

As soon as Song Hu said this, Wang Shan and Lamour said that this point needed to be carefully considered. But Zhao Hongyu looked confident, as if he was not worried about it at all, which made everyone a little curious.

"Chief, do you have any good proposals? Don't sell it, and let us rest assured when you say it, won't you? ”

After Wang Shan saw Zhao Hongyu's indifferent look, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Hehe, of course I know what you're worried about, but I've long had the other side of this." After Zhao Hongyu smiled, he used the branch in his hand to draw in the drawing on the ground, "There is a port on the east side, where three Galen sailing ships are parked. That's how we got out of Yaksaly, and we'll be able to catch three boats. ”

Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Wang Shan, Song Hu and Lamour's eyes lit up.

Yes, if you can grab those three Galen galleons, it will certainly not be a problem to leave the city of Yaksarly.

Heading north along the East Coast, they could easily return to Manhattan Island.

Leaving the Virginia area at the same time, they can get three more ships.

Many of the Somali blacks in Lamour have learned the skills of operating the Galen ship, and although the genetic people who were bred later do not understand it, it is not too much of a problem to grab three ships.

"It's a good idea, and it's very feasible." , Lamour was the first to speak.

After Song Hu laughed a few times, he said: "It is estimated that the captains of these three ships are going to cry, I think there should be a lot of good things on these ships, and this time it is cheaper for us." ”

Wang Shan didn't make a sound, but the expression on his face was very happy.

It can be seen that everyone recognizes Zhao Hongyu's method.

"I looked at the hill in the morning, and it seemed that the ships had unloaded a lot of cargo. Since it's a merchant ship, there's bound to be a lot of gold on board, and I absolutely love it. ”

Zhao Hongyu stood up, clapped his hands and said with a smile.

By the time the group was discussing the plan, the six guns had already fired several rounds. Since the gunners were new to this kind of cannon at the beginning, the low hit rate was terrible.

But after a few rounds of firing, after some adjustments, the genetic people who were temporary artillery crews found their senses.

In this way, the British militia defending the west of the city of Yaksaly were in bad luck.

A virtual 21st-century Touchdown Grenade that can shatter a large area of the city wall after hitting it, and send the surrounding soldiers into the air.

For a time, the soldiers guarding the city suffered heavy casualties, which had a considerable impact on their morale.

Of course, they did not fight back.

The four 12-pounder guns counterattacked intermittently, but they did no damage to Zhao Hongyu at all.

"Let's move quickly, and the artillery continues to suppress the enemy. We need to open their gates as soon as possible! ”

After Zhao Hongyu looked at the British on the opposite city wall, he turned back to Wang Shan and said.

"You can aim six guns at the city gate together, and I want to be able to bombard the city gate in a short time!" At this time, an abrupt voice sounded, and everyone looked back to see that it was Chelsea, the former British captive who had become their person.

Along the way, Chelsea can be regarded as a brilliant record.

There were more than a dozen Indians and Brits who died at his hands alone.

It's just because of his identity that Zhao Hongyu usually avoids him when discussing major matters.

At the same time, considering his existence, he will find an excuse for Song Hu to 'inadvertently' reveal to him those extra genetic people around Zhao Hongyu. …,

Chelsea also know who he is, so every time he talks about something big, he walks far away and doesn't come over.

Just now when Zhao Hongyu talked about attacking the city gate, he heard this, so he interjected and made a proposal.

In fact, Chelsea have always wanted to 'improve' and want to be completely integrated into the group.

Having been fighting with everyone for a month, Chelsea have fully identified themselves as the man of the 'Song' Empire.

"Chelsea's proposal can be tried, under the salvo of six guns, I don't believe that the gate will not be opened!"

Zhao Hongyu nodded and gave this order.

He then beckoned to Chelsea and summoned him over.

Chelsea ran over and stood in front of Zhao Hongyu.

Looking Chelsea up and down, he had a hole in his head, and he didn't know in which battle he had formed. At the same time, there were wounds on his arms and chest and abdomen.

It can be seen that he is also working hard.

"I heard your woman is pregnant?"

In fact, Zhao Hongyu has long known about this matter, but he has never asked Chelsea in person.

Chelsea nodded, a little apprehensive.

He feared that this 'His Majesty' would oppose this 'transnational' relationship.

"Survive, go back alive." , Zhao Hongyu looked at Chelsea encouragingly, "After I go back, I will divide your house, give you a cow, and ten acres of land!" ”

Zhao Hongyu didn't say much, but he made his promise to Chelsea.

Chelsea were shaken.

Ten acres of land and a cow!

He doesn't care much about houses and everything, but he cares a lot about land.

Today, land annexation in Britain is very serious, and there are many bankruptcies.

Owning a piece of land of their own is the dream of most people.

But in a country where the aristocracy is in power, land is still a luxury for ordinary people.

Whether it is a European or a Chinese, in fact, the people at the bottom have the same desire for land.

If it weren't for that, the American continent wouldn't have attracted so many Europeans to adventure.

"Glory will belong to Your Majesty!"

Chelsea gave a very irregular chivalry according to his impression.

"I'll give you 100 men when the gates are opened, and you have to take control of the three Galen ships in the port east of the city as soon as possible, and if you succeed, then I don't mind that I will have an extra captain in the future."

At this time, there is no need to hand over the matter of buying people's hearts, and Zhao Hongyu understands it.

Chelsea's performance during this period of time has also been seen by Zhao Hongyu one by one.

He proved himself with the lives and blood of his enemies.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Hongyu no longer chatted with Chelsea, and he turned his gaze to the city gate.

When will I be able to become a true majesty, instead of claiming to be myself when I fool others?

To establish a country and form a strong country is a big temptation for Zhao Hongyu. But now he doesn't have such capital and qualifications, so he can't help but sigh in his heart.

However, Zhao Hongyu was not discouraged, he knew that as long as he persevered, then building an empire in the future would not be an unattainable thing.

As long as there is a population of 10,000, Zhao Hongyu can dominate the American continent.

In any case, on the European continent, the population of a small country is only tens of thousands.

Rumble! Rumble! Boom!

Zhao Hongyu was thinking wildly, and the six 24-pounder guns had already turned around and fired at the city gate together.

"You're all going fast! Damn it, don't you have to wait for the natives to come in before you can know that it's useless to be afraid! ”…,

On the straight street behind the west gate of the city of Yaksali, a newly organized militia was running in a hurry under the leadership of a British officer.

The news of the attack on the western flank made the Governor panic, and the first thing he thought of was to send reinforcements.

But for a while, the city was in chaos, where to find the source of soldiers.

Suddenly, an elderly veteran officer stepped out and gathered hundreds of people with weapons.

The party had barely reached the gate, and before they could separate to reinforce the city, the wooden gate in front of them cracked. At the same time, a swarthy solid cannonball shot into their ranks at a rapid pace, striking a blank space.

"Don't mess up, organize a formation to block the city gate!"

More than a dozen lives were lost, but the bearded old officer didn't feel the slightest fear, after all, he had seen so much death and blood.

But the other militias are different, they are rookies.

The militiamen trembled with fright, and the weapons in their hands were almost unstable.

The bearded officer stepped forward and kicked them in the ass.

"If you don't want to die, follow me to block the city gates!"

Then he took some brave guys who were not afraid of death, and ran to the city gate that had been shattered and waited.

But as soon as they stood still, they heard a crackling sound coming from the air, and then they felt as if their bodies had been hit by something, and they flew out of the air without their control.

For a moment, the militiamen who rushed to the gate of the city with the bearded officer were all put to the ground.

Before the soldiers defending the city wall came to their senses, Zhao Hongyu and the others covered up.

Chelsea took the 100 old blacks assigned to him and went straight to the goal. He didn't do too much entanglement at all, and went straight to the port on the east side.

And Zhao Hongyu left all the war horses, and let fifty genetic people take care of the war horses, dragging the artillery and rushing towards the city.

He didn't want to stay with this artillery, and when the time came, he would cheapen these Brits.

With the pull of fifty war horses, it took no effort to pull up these six guns.

Bang! Bang!

As soon as Zhao Hongyu and the others rushed into the city gate, they began to pull the trigger of the flintlock pistol, allowing the British old man to see the power of the shotgun.

"Rush! Keep rushing! Don't dwell on it! ”(。
