Chapter 201: The Fortress
Mildin, who was still waiting for the Ming army and him to shoot, was dumbfounded, thinking that he could hide in the mountains at a critical moment when he came to Lantau Island, but he didn't expect such a hole in the defense! But it's no wonder that Mirding was not a military official in the first place, and he basically didn't know anything about fighting, so he made such a low-level mistake.
Once Wang Fuheng made a detour, the twelve-pounder cannon would be completely turned into an ornament, and then he would move his position, first, because there would be insufficient time, and second, there would be Ming warships on the opposite side. What to do? Milding was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and in a panic, he hurriedly asked the soldiers around him: "Do you have any other good ideas?" The noble Portuguese cannot be a captive of the Ming people! ”
Fernando is a first-class soldier, although he is dissatisfied with Mildin, who commands indiscriminately, but the enemy is at present, so he can only look at the present. "Your Excellency, the fortress itself can be defended in all directions, let's shrink the defensive circle, and we should be able to hold out for a while."
Mirdin's eyes rolled wildly, and he asked unwillingly, "Can't you go into the mountain?" We Portuguese are still very familiar with the mountains. ”
"Alas, Milding, this is the mountain range of the Ming Kingdom, this is the island of the Ming Kingdom, you can hold on to it for a while in the fortress, if you enter the mountain, hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for a day!"
Mirding could only discourage the idea of escaping, Fernando was right, this was not his own territory, and the mountains would not be friendly to him. So he nodded and said, "Okay, Your Excellency's words are very reasonable, and then it depends on God's will." ”
"No, Mirding, if you want to hold on, you have to have material guarantees. There is still time, so hurry up and gather everyone's food. Oh, and drinking water! ”
"Why? I can't do that, they have the most basic human rights! ”
"Mildin, this is war! War has to give up something, now it's basic human rights, followed by seriously wounded soldiers, and then later... Even corpses are rations! "As the elite of the army that conquered the Indians, Fernando is undoubtedly much more sober than Mildin!
Mirdin never dreamed that war could be so cruel that even corpses were rations? Gross, it's scary! Milding, whose face turned pale, simply relinquished command: "Fernando... Warrant Officer, now with full command of the battle! After saying that, he fled and left the fort, hiding in the secret room of the fortress and shivering!
Fernando looked at Mirdin's back with disdain, and immediately issued an order: "Immediately collect any food from everyone, Andrei, take your men and throw the cannonballs into the sea, and by the way, bring all the gunpowder back to the fortress!" The rest of me will collect as much fresh water as I can, oh Soarefe, you take a squad of soldiers to hold the fort and blow up the cannon if necessary. ”
The fresh and hot warrant officer is indeed a veteran, and all orders are given for the sake of sticking, and they are all extremely important details. On the other side, the Ming army chatted lightly.
Wang Fuheng smiled and said to Wang Hong: "My lord, this time the Buddha machine is hard to escape, let's be considered meritorious, right?" ”
Wang Hong shook his head: "I don't know! The court is now in chaos, the team created by the first emperor has been scattered, and now I don't know how to govern, and no one knows the bottom of my heart. Alas, I heard that King Wu returned to the south, and it was very unpleasant with Jinshang. Daming is now an eventful season! ”
Wang Fuheng was silent, and said with a smile after a while: "The emperor of Guangdong Mountain is far away, and no wind can blow, so let's live our own little life." ”
"Difficult! Today, it was decided to open the sea, and all matters related to the opening of the sea were handed over to King Wu. But King Wu and His Majesty are having trouble again, I can't understand it, I can't understand it! Hey? You think this has nothing to do with us? Let me ask you, Panyu is the richest and the most in Panyi, Guangdong, once the sea is opened, can Panyu run? When the time comes, will you listen to today, or to King Wu? ”
"Me!" Wang Fuheng opened his mouth to speak, but found that something was wrong, so he had to continue stupidly: "Who is listening to whom!" What else can you do otherwise? ”
"Well, what you said makes sense, let's talk about other things for now. Alas, sorrow! ”
Half an hour later, the sailors landed on the undefended Shaluo Bay, and the team of 500 people marched along the Shahe River towards the fortress in the sub-boats of the Zimu Boat. Another half an hour passed, and the figure of the Ming army appeared in the left rear of the fortress. The artillery on the battery was still there, but all the shells were thrown into the sea, and the gunpowder was brought back to the fortress. Soarefe also followed Andrei back to the fortress, and more than 200 people abandoned by Betulu were all waiting for the war to come in the fortress!
"Haha, this Shenwei General has brought it right!" Wang Fuheng, who received the report, is not sleepy to give a pillow? I was worried that I couldn't compete for all the work, but I didn't expect that God would fulfill people's wishes! This Franc can't attack the fortifications, so I think I don't have heavy firepower?
Wang Fuheng hummed a little song and ordered someone to carry the two Shenwei generals to the land and aim at the fortress.
"Hehe, these brutes are not worth using artillery, try to persuade them to surrender first. Huang Youguang, go, try! Oh no, those brutes don't understand! Forget it, you can always understand the cannon, right? Two shots! ”
Fernando looked at the soldiers beside him with a pale face: "Gentlemen, prepare for battle!" Priest! Come, bless us, and hope we go to heaven! ”
Rumble! General Shenwei let out a roar, and the two projectiles smashed on the fortress in no particular order, and the fortress shook for a while, and the bullet points were full of cracks!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fernando, and Fernando opened his mouth with difficulty: "Can't surrender!" Gentlemen, think about what we did in Tuen Mun, and the Ming people will let us go? I heard that Deming say that the most severe punishment in the Ming Kingdom was to cut the flesh with a knife, called Ling Chi, and he could die after at least one day. ”
"Oh my God!" "Oh God!" Everyone exclaimed, this is really a barbaric country!
There is no way to be savage or barbaric, if you can't surrender, you can't defend it, then you can only expect salvation from the omnipotent Lord!
Wang Fuheng saw that the fortress didn't move for a long time, and sneered: "Don't be ashamed!" One Shenwei general cannon is exchanged for shotguns, and the other is aimed at that strange thing and continues to bombard! Don't let them show their heads! Get all the jacks of Franc up and bang the fuck together! ”
It's not false to say that it's a strange thing, how can there be a castle with such a shape in China? The polygonal castle has no dead ends, it can only be bombarded by cannons, and the opponent's weapons can be broken through after exhausting them!
Dozens of Franc machine guns surrounded the fortress, and the cannon of General Shenwei fired projectiles unhurriedly, and the smoke around the fortress was filled, and the violent shaking in the fortress never stopped. All the Portuguese soldiers turned pale and opened fire in fear.
"Report! General Wang, the fleet of the Franc machine man is back! ”
