Chapter 1246: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

The way Roger said was undoubtedly quite simple and crude, but Tan Juren thought about it, and there seemed to be no better solution to settle the large number of prisoners that would inevitably appear after the war, so he could only make do with it. Tan Juren did not have the kindness of the Virgin, he would consider the treatment of prisoners of war and human rights and other marginal things, as long as he could make full use of the value of these people's labor, he would not mind Roger taking some harsh measures to suppress enemy prisoners of war.

As for the way of dealing with British prisoners of war, Tan Juren really has no relevant experience, so he naturally doesn't know that Haihan has already had a corresponding routine in this regard. At the beginning, they fought against the Portuguese, Dutch, and Spaniards, and after the war, they all returned their captives to their opponents in exchange for ransoms.

Of course, it is a little earlier to discuss these details, after all, the war is not over yet, and even if the Haihan army is sure of victory, it must first defeat the opponent before it can be captured. Tan Juren took the idea from Roger, and went back to organize manpower and supplies, which was an extra thousand people to eat, drink and Lazar out of thin air, so they had to be arranged in advance.

Mu Shabai cut off the retreat of the Johor army in the north of the island, and the total annihilation of the enemy army was already a matter of nine times out of ten, and Roger's mood was much more relaxed than the day before, and he specially went to inspect the villages on both sides to cheer for his soldiers. Although the Haihan army also suffered a small number of casualties in yesterday's engagement, it did not affect the morale of the troops in the case of the obvious superiority of the battle situation, and Roger's claim that he would start a decisive battle with the enemy today, this short and fast pace of battle made the soldiers maintain their excitement all the time.

Roger was not alone in the idea of fighting a decisive battle today, and the two coalition generals, Hogg and Barpon, actually had similar plans. They came across the sea with the idea of a sneak attack, and they didn't intend to fight a protracted war with Haihan, and the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be to the coalition forces that needed long-distance supplies, so they had to fight quickly. If they still can't gain an advantage on the battlefield today, then they have to consider whether to continue to fight to the death with the Haihan army on this battlefield.

The eight guns that had been brought in with a lot of trouble were now placed in the camp, and the gun mounts had been installed overnight last night, and all the ammunition was in place, waiting to be pushed into the position and put into play. Yesterday's offensive of the coalition forces has proved that it is difficult for infantry alone to break through the Haihan defense line, and it is difficult for the firepower output to effectively inflict damage on the Haihan soldiers behind the bunker, and the task of attacking the fortified position must be completed by artillery with stronger firepower. Although these cannons arrived a little late, it was better to be late than never, and as long as they could play a role on the battlefield, it was not in vain to transport them from Johor.

Hogg will personally direct the artillery battle today, and whether or not he can make a comeback depends to a large extent on how well the artillery plays. However, Hogg is also sure that as long as it can be used normally, it is only a matter of time before the eight artillery pieces destroy the few obstructive buildings between the two villages, and the only thing to worry about is the Haihan people's response - will there be several artillery pieces hidden in the impenetrable defense line of the other party?

Hogg immediately denied this possibility, if the Haihan people really had artillery deployed on this line of defense, they should have been put into use in yesterday's battle, how could they hide this kind of mass killing weapon? Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Haihan people rushed to the battle, and yesterday they did not have time to deploy artillery to the battle line, but with the buffer time of last night and one night, it is not necessarily.

It is not difficult to confirm from the telescope that the Haihan army repaired the fortifications outside the defense line overnight after the armistice yesterday, and planted many sharp wooden stakes in the outer layer of the barbed wire. The stakes were at an angled angle to the ground, with the pointed end facing the direction of the coalition forces, and were staggered in several rows, making them more difficult to destroy than the rejuvenating deer that could be carried away. Before advancing into the barbed wire area, the coalition forces will have to spend time clearing these new barricades. The Haihan had time to lay new fortifications, so it stands to reason that there would not be much of a problem in getting a few cannons to the front.

Hogg didn't know what Haihan's artillery combat ability was, but it probably wasn't too bad to think about it, after all, several Western competitors had been defeated by the Haihan army.
