On Shuangyu Island, after several months of civil engineering work, a pentagonal fortress has been built on the island, a suitable place for landing, and a slope has been artificially built to clear the shooting boundary and increase the difficulty of landing.

On the periphery, there are trenches and various anti-slopes, which are densely packed to slow down the attacker's speed.

In addition, there are three walls, and obstacles are set up inside the walls like a labyrinth, so that every time you push forward, you need to face fire from all sides.

On Xiaomoshan Island, a vertical fortress has been built, which is enough to cover the entire water area and Shuangyu Island.

From the outside, this fortress is indeed harmless to humans and animals, but the red color is a little dazzling, and the shock it brings is far less than that of the towering fortified cities of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Daxia, who was disguised, was sitting on a merchant ship, and he was spying on this strange fortress at the moment.

He felt more and more that the people were not stupid, such a low wall, this was not self-deception?

There were also the slopes, which looked like they were meant to block the landing, but were so steep that the soldiers could climb them.

The entire fortress was also built in question, and was not built in a key location, but was fenced off on the high ground of the island.

It seems that this is to ensure that it is condescending, but it makes the three outer walls show a state of echelon arrangement.

That is, it artificially slows down the height of the dive, but it also makes the back attack easier.

According to Liu Daxia's opinion, the three outer walls and those dirt slopes are all inconsequential things, and they can't hinder the army's hard work.

"If the craftsman who oversaw the construction of this city was my command, I would have beheaded this man to sacrifice the banner!" Li Ying, who was traveling with Qianhu, couldn't help but chuckle.

Liu Daxia said with a serious face: "You still can't take it lightly, the people of the Ming Dynasty are very different from the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that this castle also has a mystery!"

Li Ying shook his head and smiled and said: "Your Excellency Governor, don't you think too much about the Kuiren, this fortress is not high, and the moat is not wide, just after landing, you can reach the top with a backcharge!" Even if there are some blockages, don't adults think these blocked trenches and dirt slopes are ridiculous?

And the location is also a big mistake! If I were to supervise the construction of this fort, the first position would be to choose the section on the north shore, which was a cliff on the sea side, which could be defended by a few troops, and the other three sides were also narrow, and then another village would be set up on the high ground on the island, and it would become a horn! ”

Liu Daxia also knew that it should be built on the north bank, but he was very puzzled in his heart, such a simple thing, the people of Huang would not be able to see it?

"It's always a good idea to be a little more careful when dealing with the Tyrants!" He sighed.

Li Ying smiled and explained: "Maybe the people are too dependent on firearms, so they are afraid that someone will occupy the high ground and bombard the city with artillery!" Can you guard the high ground, not just set up one more village? My Ming army attacked the city, and it also relied on swords and martial arts, and firearms were only auxiliary. ”

Liu Daxia nodded silently, and continued to stare at the island with a telescope.

In the past few days, he has sent people here every day to inquire about the news, and found that since the withdrawal of the army, there has been no increase in troops.

The supplies are delivered every half a month, and each time it is only two big ships of the black people.

This shows that there is really only one battalion left on the island, and they are really talking!

"Li Qianhu, do you think that this time, is it really empty-hearted?" After Liu Daxia looked at it for a while, he didn't think there was anything peculiar.

Li Ying thought about it and said: "I think it is, the purpose of the people is to provoke and make a lot of nonsense, so my lord, you have also seen that the people have been committed to negotiations, and they seem to be extremely afraid of our interruption!"

"Especially after the adults gathered troops, the attitude of the people became more and more humble, and only one battalion remained on the island. This can see the entanglement of the king, just like a monkey eating ginger, afraid of spicy and reluctant to throw it away! Now the king is probably thinking like this, while he wants to use this as an excuse to negotiate, and on the other hand, he is afraid of the thunderous power of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Liu Daxia twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, he always felt that things would not be so simple, but he couldn't say for sure.

"That's it! No matter what mysteries he has, and no matter what he thinks about the king, this battle must be fought! He thought to himself.

……

After another half an hour of snooping, Liu Daxia ordered to return.

When they came to the Dinghai Zhongzuo Station, the commander of Wei made Ma Jin, and the commander knew that Zhao Tong was already waiting at the dock.

After reprimanding them last time, the two of them were extremely respectful, and threw out a lot of flattery as soon as they met.

Liu Daxia's face was solemn, and he faintly despised these vulgar martial artists in his heart, and he said with a straight face: "How are the two thousand soldiers who were transferred last time doing?" How many utensils have been prepared to defend the city? ”

Ma Jin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, you have been practicing, at this moment, you are already in a clear line, the queue is neat, and the utensils for defending the city, whether it is cannon stones, rolling wood, gold juice, or arrows, have all been prepared properly, enough for a month!"

"Take Ben Tu to see it!" Liu Daxia walked in front of him as he spoke.

Zhao Tong leaned forward in a very interesting sentence, and walked in front of him step by step to lead the way.

Compared with the last inspection, Dinghai City has indeed been repaired, and the original damaged places have been repaired at this moment.

The soldiers on the garrison finally no longer look weak, and it seems that after a few days of full food, these soldiers have finally come back to life.

Liu Daxia nodded slightly to show satisfaction, and waited for the tall and wide city wall to be climbed.

He stopped and looked in the direction of Shuangyu, only to feel a sigh of relief in his heart.

He thought to himself, this Dinghai City was established by me at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and after a hundred years of wind and frost, it is still standing and strong as ever, just like the foundation of my Ming Dynasty.

And the sudden outbreak of the people is only a few years, its fortress built on Shuangyu Island, although it looks novel and peculiar, but after all, it is lacking a bit of heritage, even if there is a mystery, but the city is low and shallow, after all, it is not as solid as a rock as this Dinghai City.

Therefore, although the Huang people have unique characteristics, they are also like the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, the Turks of the Tang Dynasty, and the Jurchens of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the sea area around Dinghai City was calm and the sky was clear, and Liu Daxia looked at this scene, and his heart was tense for several months, and he relaxed reluctantly.

He turned around, looked at Ma Jin and said: "Recently, I have been on guard, Dinghai is the gateway to Zhejiang, and its importance is no less than that of Ningbo, and there is no room for error!"

Ma Jin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency Governor, rest assured, as long as he dares to come, I will lead the crowd and annihilate the enemy on the beachhead!"

"This governor does not ask you to annihilate the enemy on the beachhead, but only asks you to hold on to Dinghai City! This battle with the people of the same country must be fought after all, and if you want to make plans, you must plan for the worst! ”

"Obey orders, the city is in the people!" Ma Jin hurriedly expressed his position.

Liu Daxia nodded, and then set his eyes on the wide sea.

The timing is rare, and it's finally time to make a decision.

Recently, when the king was negotiating, there was a faint retreat and impatience, which made him very worried.

He was not afraid that the king would stop negotiating, but he was afraid that he would be lucky enough to operate for several months, but he would end up in a situation where he would retreat by himself.

Even though this also achieved the purpose of the imperial court, he always believed that he was sorry for this operation if he was not fighting with the people.

If you know the details and number of roads of the people in a battle, it will definitely be beneficial to deal with the people in the future.

It can also thwart the ambitions of the Huang people, so that the southeast half of the wall can truly gain peace.

As for defeat? Before Liu Daxia gathered his troops, he was worried about the plundering of the Huang people, but now that everything is ready, he believes that more than 10,000 men and horses will definitely be able to take a Shuangyu Island with only a few hundred people.

In his cognition, even a fortified city like Ningbo City, if only a few hundred people were put to guard it, it would not be able to withstand the attack of more than 10,000 people.
