"The range of the heavy cannon of the Franc machine is about five miles, the fire gun is about 100 zhang, and the bird gun is about 30 zhang. Condescending can increase the range, so relax a little. Chang Kuan, you are highly recommended by Dingguo Gong, don't embarrass him. How are you going to fight? ”

Chang Kuan confidently took a step forward: "Lord Wang, you once said that Huang Yuekui's style of play against Makqin, I think you can follow suit." Get a dozen carts first, in addition to being used as an earthen tank, you can also place Shenwei military cannon as a gun truck! Kamui threatens the heavy artillery of the city, and the brothers hide behind the earthen tanks to attack. Wait until you get close to the city wall and blow it up with an explosive pack, and Malacca will not be able to hold it. ”

After Hua Houwei and Chang Kuan finished speaking, he shook his head: "The idea is good, but it's too laborious!" ”

"Fei Ren?"

"The casualties are too great! First take Fort Santiago, plus heavy artillery bombardment of the city of Malacca. Now all it takes is a feint so that Malacca can't interfere with the offensive against Fort Santiago! Fort Santiago is the key to the siege, and Fort Taiwan is not high and has little strategic significance, so it is enough to ensure that it does not participate in the war. ”

The battle began, and after determining the direction of the main attack, the Ming army quickly launched. Hua Houwei looked at the Ming army in the telescope charging in formation, and scolded angrily: "Who stepped on a horse to let you attack like this?" Geng Baoguo, get back to Lao Tzu! ”

Geng Baoguo is the general manager of the Xinjiang Estuary Naval Division, and he was called back by Hua Houwei, and he didn't know what was going on at all. "Lord Wang, what's wrong with the marking?"

Hua Houwei tried hard to suppress the anger and forced a smile: "Geng Baoguo, this is the era of firearms, and the shotgun and soul chaser gun in your hand do not need to be fired to maintain suppressive power." You see, Niu Yaowu is a veteran of the Wolf Army, how did he do it? ”

Geng Baoguo suspiciously took the telescope handed over by Hua Houwei, looked at it carefully for a while, and returned it to Hua Houwei. "Lord Wang, why did General Niu let the brothers below disperse?"

"Well, why do the birds line up to shoot? Isn't it just to maintain the density of firepower? There is no precision in the bird's gun, and it can only be so. But the soul chasing gun in your hand is different, very accurate, where do you need to focus on fire? Geng Baoguo, you can't be rigid and dogmatic in war, you have to apply it flexibly, just to achieve results, do you have to be the same as others? Taiwan Fort only needs to be feinted, you can suppress it, and you don't have to think about defeating it. "Hua Houwei is also very helpless, his own wolf cooking army is still on the way, and the officers and soldiers of these sailors are still old-fashioned tactics, and it is useless to give them good things!

Geng Baoguo nodded in agreement, turned around and ran back to the team. Hua Houwei sighed and stopped paying attention.

Niu Yaowu followed Hua Houwei very early, and he was one of them at the beginning of the establishment of the Cooking Wolf Army. His name was changed by Hua Hou Wei, and there is no need to mention Hua Hou Wei's center. Niu Yaowu did not attack on a large scale, but carefully observed the terrain. The San Diego Fort was not easy to fight, and all the defenders were reined into the Bastion, and there were four twelve-pounder cannons on top of the Bastion, which were condescending and had a great range of power.

"Come on, get a few stone throwers on the ship, dismantle some wood, and bring the oil over."

Everything is in place, and the offensive begins. The stone thrower kept throwing wood and wet wood near the fort, followed by water bladders. The water bladder contained fire oil, and the road ahead of the fortress was littered with flammable materials stained with fire oil.

"Rockets! Shoot! The cart is ready! ”

The flames were steaming, and the flames were accompanied by thick smoke, completely obscuring the view of the fortress. A dozen earthen tanks were followed by the soldiers of the naval division, as well as the dismantled naval guns and the craftsmen who followed.

Rumble! General Kamui fired his cannon, and the shells landed near the fortress, smashing out deep pits. This is only to pin down the twelve-pounder guns, and the real workhorse is the dismantled ship guns. When the attacking team advanced about four miles from the fortress, some of the personnel stopped and began the civil work with sapper shovels. Since it was a back-attack, it did not require too complicated fortifications, and a gun emplacement pit two feet deep and three feet wide was quickly dug.

The track was laid, the brake was installed, and several people worked together to install the Japanese cannon and wait for the smoke to dissipate. General Kamui was still bombarding unhurriedly, rushing past the stragglers, hiding behind the cart, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

Salvador covered his nose in the fortress and scolded hatefully: "These scheming Ming people are a group of cowards. Nick, the twelve-pounder cannon maintains a rate of five minutes and puts pressure on Akito. Hodoru, arquebuses shoot freely, assign the area, now you can't see anything, keep the pressure on, don't let the Ming army touch it! Damn war, damn Akito! ”

Ten miles outside the city of Malacca, Hua Houwei and Wang Feng sat outside the camp tent, observing the dynamics of the battlefield.

Wang Feng put down the binoculars in his hand: "Lord Wang, Niu Yaowu seems to be a little more cautious in fighting, the heavy artillery of the Buddha Lang machine man is actually not accurate, and those bird guns are even more so." Why not take that one in one go, oh, Fort Santiago? ”

"When you're not in a hurry, the life of a fighter comes first. Lord Wang, I know that Ci is not in charge of the army, but training a qualified soldier is actually a very laborious and expensive matter. The ancients said that a thousand armies are easy to get and a general is hard to find, but in my opinion, it should actually be the other way around. ”

"Lord Wang, why do you say that?"

"Well, it shouldn't be a situation for a while, so I'll tell you what I think. Everyone says that Liu Bei's achievements in hegemony rely on generals such as Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun, but when I open the history books, I think that the white-eared soldiers are the basis for Liu Bei's success. During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao had tiger and leopard cavalry, Gongsun Zhan had white horse righteous servants, Lu Bu had trapped camps, and Dong Zhuo had Xiliang cavalry. You see, all famous generals have one characteristic, they are good at generals. What is a General? In fact, it is the ability to train and manage soldiers. When the real fight starts, what kind of soldiers are powerful? Aggression is like fire, and its Xu is like a forest. What is it? It's an elite soldier! If Sun Wu really brought a group of palace maids back then, would he still have the name of a martial saint? ”

While the two were discussing, the fire gradually became smaller. Niu Yaowu made a gesture, and Shenwei stopped firing the gun. The sun-shooting cannon set up in front already has a good field of vision, and the gunner skillfully loads, fires, and booms! Three high-explosive shells flew out and hit the bastion in an instant!

This is not a drifting sea, and the accuracy of the sun-shooting gun itself is very high, so it is not uncommon for the first to hit. The artillery positions on the top of Fort San Diego were in shambles, and no one expected the artillery of the Ming army to be so accurate. Fortunately, a thick layer of wood was laid on the top, so it was not destroyed by shells in the first place.

Nick's face turned pale and cold sweat flowed, fortunately this was teak from Burma, otherwise these few guns would have directly reimbursed the entire artillery position. The twelve-pounder cannon was lost, and with only the six-pounder cannon and those arquebuses in the fort, it was only a matter of time before it fell!

Start the hit, keep up the good work! Whoosh, three more shells hit, and Nick roared, "Shoot all your shells!" Empower me, O God! ”
