He shouted to break through Huizhou City, he didn't want gold, silver, or women, he just wanted Huizhou City.

If you can't beat Huizhou City and destroy the Ming army, you will lose the opportunity to share the world equally with the British Empire and the French Empire, and the future of the empire will be in the battle of Huizhou.

The two regiment commanders also understood the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and swore to Xiang Yiyi that they would not break through Huizhou City and come to see him.

Then the two went back separately, and after breakfast, the Dutch army began to arrange artillery positions, and the shells of the Dutch breech guns were flowering shells, which were highly lethal.

But there are also flaws, in terms of siege, it is inferior to the Qing army, the Ming army used Hongyi cannon.

The shells of the red-coat cannons could be smashed directly on the city wall, causing physical damage to the city wall, and the Dutch army had 60 breech guns, all of which were arranged in Huizhou into the north and south.

Before the battle officially began, Kui Yi suddenly remembered an evil idea and asked the artillery to continue to bombard, causing casualties to the Chengming army in Huizhou.

Sixty breech guns continued to fire artillery, and the flowering shells did not cause much damage to the walls of Huizhou City, but caused heavy damage to the Ming troops stationed on the city walls.

Ling Jingyang was forced to withdraw the defenders on the city wall, leaving only a small number of soldiers on the city wall as observation posts, and when the Dutch army launched an attack, the gongs and drums were immediately sounded, and the defenders under the city wall quickly climbed the city wall to carry out defensive operations.

During the shelling of the Dutch army, he saw a small number of shells flying into the city, and he felt inexplicable pleasure, thinking that the shells falling into the city would bring casualties to the Ming army and civilians, and could also hit the confidence of the Ming army to resist.

It's just that he didn't know that Ling Jingyang had already taught Jin Dashou the advanced civil engineering operations such as trenches, foxholes, air-raid shelters, and tunnels in later generations.

Jin Dashou was a civil engineering maniac, and when the Dutch army was still in Wuhua County, he led the soldiers and civilians of Huizhou City to excavate in the city.

With the efforts of tens of thousands of people, Huizhou City dug up tunnels, trenches, and stragglers.

Many large families have a large population and sufficient labor, and even build straggler pits in front of their homes, yards and bedrooms, although they are not descript, they still play a defensive role.

These civil fortifications from the future world greatly enhanced the confidence of the military and civilians of Huizhou City to resist the Dutch, and the Dutch artillery shells fell into the city, causing little damage to the soldiers and civilians.

The Dutch artillery fire had little effect, with hundreds of people wounded by shell fragments, and only a handful of shells fell into foxholes and trenches, killing dozens of people.

Because the Ming army was very well prepared, Jin Dashou led Qingzhuang to treat the wounded in time, and the residents' mood was stabilized.

After the bombardment ended, he looked at the impregnable city wall of Huizhou City, and also missed the solid heavy artillery before, if there were 60 solid heavy cannons, they bombarded a city wall.

No matter how thick and strong this wall is, it will also be blasted out, and Yu Yi and his adjutant ordered that the Zheng army go up and the Dutch army behind.

The adjutant didn't expect him to be so frustrated, and put the 4,000 soldiers and horses left by Zheng Zhibao in front to attack Huizhou City.

The 4,000 Zheng soldiers were divided into two parts, one at the south gate and the other at the north gate, and were driven by the Dutch to attack Huizhou City.

After the Zheng army launched the attack, Ling Jingyang watched the battle on the city wall, feeling sorry for the Zheng army being so humiliated, they were all Ming soldiers, but at the moment they were working hard for the red-haired devils.

Thousands of Zheng soldiers ran towards the city wall with shields and fire guns, and some Zheng soldiers rushed to a suitable distance and opened fire on the Ming army on the city wall.

Ling Jingyang ordered the archers and firecrackers to fight back, the Ming army of Huizhou Prefecture was condescending, and there were battlements to cover, the bows and arrows and firecrackers were the strongest play, and the Zheng soldiers were killed and wounded before they could rush close to the city wall.

This group of Zheng soldiers belonged to the second rate in Zheng Zhilong's troops, and after being killed and wounded by hundreds of Ming troops in Huizhou City, they turned around and retreated.

The Zheng army troops were so cowardly that they were furious and ordered the battle team to open fire, forcing the Zheng soldiers to return to the battlefield and continue the siege.

The poor Zheng army soldiers, rushing forward, were beaten by the Huizhou Ming army, retreated, and were beaten by the Dutch army, under the double attack, the Zheng army began to collapse.

Many Zheng soldiers threw away their weapons and ran towards the city wall, and Ling Jingyang hurriedly ordered to stop firing and open the city gate to let Zheng soldiers enter the city.

When the soldiers of the Zheng army saw the city gate open, they rushed frantically into the city.

Town

Later, a small number of Zheng soldiers tried to fight with the Huizhou People's Army, and most of the Zheng soldiers knelt on the ground and begged the Ming Army of Huizhou Prefecture to give them a way to live.

There were not many Zheng soldiers who could or entered Huizhou City, and most of the Zheng soldiers scattered on both sides of the battlefield, either killed or became routed.

Kui Yi was stunned behind the battlefield, in order to save Zheng Jun, the Ming army actually opened the city gate, isn't this the fat sent to the door?

He hurriedly ordered the Second Infantry Regiment and the Third Infantry Regiment to follow Zheng Jun into the city and capture Huizhou City in one fell swoop.

The Dutch officers and men seemed to see the goddess of victory beckoning, and the 2nd Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment each mobilized three infantry battalions to follow behind Zheng Jun, firing while advancing.

The battle went so comically that neither of the generals on either side could have imagined that it would be fought in this way.

The Zheng soldiers in the city either surrendered or were killed, and the Dutch army followed behind the buttocks, screaming and rushing into the city, thinking that the Ming army in the city was like paper paste, and they could hunt like a fawn.

After coming in, he was dumbfounded, the entire Huizhou city was covered with trenches, and foxholes were everywhere, although he was surprised, he reacted very quickly, and immediately rushed to the city wall and the commanding heights in the city.

How could the Ming soldiers hiding in the trenches let the Dutch succeed, under the leadership of generals at all levels, bravely launched an attack on the Dutch army, or suddenly cold arrows, which made the Dutch soldiers miserable.

After the Dutch army was killed and wounded dozens of people, they fired wildly with rifles, and bombed with grenades where they missed.

The Dutch attack did not play much role, the two armies soon joined each other, the Dutch army was not as good as the Fusang army in hand-to-hand combat, and was beaten by the Ming army after approaching, and was forced to retreat outside the city.

Ling Jingyang did not order a pursuit, and after driving the Dutch army out of the city, he ordered the city gate to be closed and waited for the Dutch army to attack the city next time.

Watching the battle from outside the city, he couldn't believe that the troops that had attacked the city had withdrawn.

He summoned the officers who had withdrawn from the city and asked his subordinates if there were any demons and monsters in the city, which frightened you so much?

The retreating officer was horrified and told him that the city was full of trenches, and that only by quickly occupying the city walls and other commanding heights could he suppress the Ming army's attack.

The trenches were full of Ming soldiers, and if they wanted to occupy the commanding heights in the city, they had to crush every trench of the Ming army near the city wall, and if they wanted to achieve this goal, they had to invest at least ten infantry regiments.

Gritting his teeth, there is no place to vent his anger.

"Chop off all the heads of Zheng Jun who escaped back, and see who dares to withdraw?"

Robben, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, said to him: "Governor, these Ming men are living maps, and if we kill them all, won't we have no guides?" If we can't capture Huizhou, we need them to help us withdraw to Fujian. ”

"Cut it, cut it all, don't be discouraged, today is just a small skill of the Ming carving insects, from the afternoon, as many shells as there are as many shells, I don't believe that there are bunkers all over the city, there are more trenches, as long as there are shells falling inside, it can also be blown to pieces."

The Dutch army slaughtered hundreds of Zheng soldiers outside the city, and after a while, hundreds of heads were thrown under the city by the Dutch army.

The Ming army in the city is celebrating a great victory, killing more than 200 Dutch soldiers who rushed into the city today, and more than 700 Zheng soldiers who surrendered to the Ming army, these people saw the heads of their companions under the city, one by one red eyes, they were afraid of the Dutch rifles, and did not dare to go out of the city, so they had to ask Ling Jingyang to lead the army to take revenge.

Ling Jingyang did not look down on Zheng Jun, but trusted them very much, and told them that Zheng Chenggong was in Ningguo Mansion at this time, resisting the attack of the Fusang people in the north, and defending the dignity of the royal family in the south, as long as he followed him Ling Jingyang to fight the Dutch, he would be a hero of the Ming Dynasty!

The surrendered Zheng soldiers did not have any psychological burden, and joined the Huifu Ming army on the spot and became Ling Jingyang's subordinates, many Zheng soldiers cried that they were shot by the Dutch with rifles during the retreat, and forced to continue the siege, completely ignoring their lives, and even Zheng soldiers vowed to kill the Dutch ghosts and avenge their comrades.

In the afternoon, the Dutch army began to bombard again, and every time the Dutch army opened fire, Ling Jingyang's heart swelled with infinite pleasure, and the Europa powers and Fuso lost their weapons and supplies, and there was one less shell to fire.

One day when the Dutch did not open fire, it meant that the Dutch ran out of shells, relying only on rifles and grenades, almost none

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It is possible to capture the city of Huizhou.

The bombardment by the Dutch lasted for an afternoon, and the walls of Huizhou City were still impregnable, but the walls were pitted, leaving many traces after the explosion.

These cratered bullet marks did not affect the overall solidity of the city wall, and after the shelling, Wu Daling specially came to ask Ling Jingyang for battle.

He proudly talked to Ling Jingyang that during this period of time, he worked hard to learn from the British gunners, and he had mastered the use of breech guns.

During the daytime battle, he saw the Dutch artillery positions, on the north and south sides of the battlefield, and as long as he was given enough shells, he could blow the Dutch artillery positions to the ground in a short time.

Ling Jingyang did not agree to his request to fight, told him not to rush to destroy the Dutch artillery, and deliberately emphasized that the cannon used by the Dutch was the same kind of artillery as the cannon used by the British.

He wanted to capture the Dutch artillery and shells as much as possible, and after Wu Daling was refused, he took a step back and said: "The last general asks to bombard the Dutch ghost commander, as long as the governor orders, the last general will push the cannon up, aim at the Dutch command, and blow the Dutch commander into meat foam." ”

This tactic can be tried, Ling Jingyang thought for a while, but still did not agree, he and Wu Daling said: "The Dutch did not hurt their muscles and bones, and blowing up the Dutch commander would make the Dutch scattered, which was not conducive to our army continuing to bleed the Dutch." ”

Ling Jingyang asked Wu Daling to return to the artillery position, and did not let the Dutch artillery blow up the cannon and gunner.

Wu Daling reassured him that he had scattered the gunners and breech guns all over the city, and unless the entire city of Huizhou was occupied by the Dutch army, it would be impossible for the Dutch army to destroy all the artillery and kill all the gunners.

"Okay, you go down first, there will be a time when you will be useful."

Ling Jingyang thought that the Dutch would attack in the evening, but when it was dark, the Dutch still did not attack, he summoned Zhao Tu, Xu Sheng, and Jin Dashou, and said: "The Dutch have suffered a little loss today, and they will definitely not give up. ”

In this era, most of the soldiers of the Ming army were black blind at night, almost everyone was malnourished and had night blindness, and they were not well-nourished Dutch opponents in night battles.

Ling Jingyang repeatedly told the three of them to personally take his own soldiers to garrison on the city wall tonight, and he led the guards to the north gate to prevent the Dutch from breaking the city.

In the first half of the night, the city of Huizhou was silent, and it was quiet outside the city.

In the second half of the night, Ling Jingyang thought that the Dutch army would raid, and the Ming army soldiers were waiting for it, but the Dutch seemed to fall into a deep sleep and were safe overnight.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that the Dutch began to eat breakfast, and they invited Tolten and Robben to breakfast.

The three of them are the command of the Dutch army, Robben asked for a sneak attack on Huizhou City last night, but was rejected by Yuyi, on the grounds that the Ming army's defense tonight will be the thickest, and also told Robben that the Ming army has a saying, again and again, and then decline, decline and exhaustion.

Robben went back to sleep angrily, and when he was having breakfast, Robben once again asked to attack, although he lost some of his soldiers and horses yesterday, it was just blocked by the trenches in the city, and today's siege only needs to occupy the city wall and suppress the Ming army from a high position, and he can achieve victory.

However, Tolten, he is not much interested in whether he can capture Huizhou City, and it is better to capture Huizhou City and retreat to Fujian and Jiangxi, which is not a bad way.

"Governor, our army fires artillery day and night, the shells are exhausted, where will there be supplies at half a time, there are no shells, how can we break the city, how can we be on an equal footing with the French and the British?"

Kuichi and Robben were drinking milk, and Leng Buding was choked by Tolten, and Kuichi didn't think about supplies.

In this attack on Huizhou Mansion, the whole army carried a large number of weapons and ammunition, which was enough for the whole army to cover several large-scale battles with full firepower, and even if the artillery shells in the army were finished, supplies could be transported from Fujian and Jiangxi.

There is also a huge powder magazine on the island of Taiwan, and he waved his hand to Tolten's disgust, if it weren't for Tolten's sake, he would have let him go back to China and become a hunter in the forest.

"Our army has a lot of shells, today and tomorrow will give me a break through Huizhou City, if I can't capture Huizhou City, we must be ready to negotiate with the British, leave part of the troops, and prevent the British from eating black."

This made Tolten appreciate it very much, although he was very arrogant, but in front of the British Household Cavalry Regiment, he did not dare to hold it up, and repeatedly asked people to go to the remnants of the first regiment, asking the first regiment to defend by the sea, even after the British landed, they must always maintain a fighting state.
