Regarding the capture of Macao, Li Xian thought carefully about it and felt that there were three main difficulties:

First of all, there are several forts inside and outside the city of Macao, and if you want to reduce your own losses, you must knock them out in advance, which is the first difficulty;

Guangdong is rich in granite, which makes Macao's city walls thick and solid, and it is not easy to break through, which is the second difficulty;

After entering the city, the total number of Macao garrisons and temporarily mobilized militia may reach more than 2,000 people, and this is the third difficulty.

If it is a conventional battle, it is necessary to send troops to advance under the city of Macao, first fill in the trenches, and then advance by land and water to solve the forts, and then break through the city wall by means of ants to attack the city, and enter the city to fight in the streets, which will not only take time, but also cause huge casualties.

It's just that neither Xuan Zheng nor Li Xian has thought of any conventional tactics, Xuan Zheng instigated Li Xian to attack the city, and sent masters to support, naturally he didn't want Li Xian to lose his precious warriors in this kind of siege battle.

Li Xian waited patiently for it to get dark, and then led the people out of the village and went straight to Macau City.

There are three main forts on the periphery of Macau, namely St. Paul's Fort, A-Ma Fort and Guia Fort, which guard the city wall and control the ships entering and exiting the inner and outer waterways.

Li Xian's first choice of fort was the Guia Fort, which was chosen because of the relatively small number of garrisons here, and more importantly, the fort was located at the highest point on the Macao Peninsula, reaching an altitude of 97 meters.

Once this battery is taken, it will be able to grasp the commanding heights and control a large area, and with the current level of artillery, it will be difficult for other batteries to threaten this battery.

To deal with this fort, what is needed is not a large number of people, but a real special operation ability, led by the four great grandmasters, followed by several grandmasters and Li Xian and other second-order peak martial artists, all of whom are capable personnel.

The fourth-order master can reach more than ten meters in a leap, and his speed and strength are far beyond the third-order master, all the way up in the dark, first find out the open and dark sentinels around the fort, and then quietly approach, knocking out several sentries or pointing, without alarming anyone.

Li Xian and the others, just in case, aimed at the back with a low-noise air gun or bow and arrow, so that they could shoot with supplementary guns, but in the end they were useless.

There were cisterns, barracks, powder magazines and the like by the fort, and all Li Xian had to do was to kill the sentries quietly, and then enter the barracks and capture all the soldiers without making any sound.

The barracks was divided into three houses, the smaller but luxurious houses for the senior officers and the two larger houses for the general soldiers, with a total strength of between fifty and sixty men.

According to the prior agreement, Li Xian, Wang Jiuxuan and the others attacked the officer's residence, and the four Grand Grandmasters would take the third-order grandmasters to deal with the ordinary soldiers in the two houses.

Li Xian and the others touched it, it was smooth at first, they went in next to the room, and when they saw someone sleeping on the bed, they touched it and knocked the person unconscious, but when they got to the most luxurious and largest room, they ran into trouble.

Li Xian touched into the room, and saw someone sleeping in the quilt, so he wanted to touch it and stun the officer, but just raised his palm to cut it down, and suddenly sat up from the officer's side, which startled Li Xian.

Of course, the person who sat up was more surprised, and said a few words in Portuguese, and it was still a woman, so that Li Xian reacted and knocked the woman unconscious first.

The officer also opened his eyes when he heard the movement, and found that someone was in the house, thinking that a soldier had accidentally broken into his bedroom, and wanted to scold him, but Wang Jiuxuan, who followed on the side, quickly knocked the person unconscious.

"I almost capsized in the gutter. Li Xian couldn't help wiping a cold sweat.

It turned out that the officer in this room was the supreme commander of this battery, and other soldiers and officers didn't dare to pull women into the barracks, but he didn't have so many scruples, and pulled a lover's warm quilt at night, which made Li Xian almost mess up things.

Except for this small episode, nothing went wrong, and all the soldiers and officers in the three houses were knocked unconscious or pointed, and lost consciousness.

Li Xian made sure that the defenders of the entire fort were not awake, so he sent a signal to let the large troops waiting behind him come up, and carried these unconscious soldiers and officers to a large room.

found a rope, tied all these people again, and tied some strips of cloth in their mouths, which made people struggle and couldn't happen, Li Xian ordered to wake up these people one by one.

Finding themselves captive in their sleep, the soldiers and officers were terrified and did not know what would happen to them.

Li Xian casually appeased, interrogated several officers and soldiers, and asked about the defense of the city and other forts in Macao.

Macao has not been attacked for decades, and the entire city defense arrangement has remained almost unchanged for many years.

Li Xian was a little uneasy, so he put all these people to sleep in the cave, and then ordered the artillerymen to go to the battery and control all the artillery.

Of course, these guns were originally pointed at the open sea, but now they are pointed at other batteries and in the city of Macau.

As for opening the powder magazine, taking out the shells, etc., and laying them away, there is no need to go into details.

Li Xian secretly sighed that a few days ago, he had worked hard to capture dozens of military guns from the British, but this time he didn't make much effort, and he also captured more than a dozen military guns, all of which were army guns, not naval guns.

The next step is to clean up the A-Ma Battery, also known as the Santiago Battery, which is commonly known as the Santiago Battery, which sits on the beachhead at the foot of A-Ma Hill, is located in a low position, and is mainly used to guard the entrance and exit of the Inner Harbour.

The defenders here were even smaller than the Guia Hill Fort, and while the night was still good, the four grandmasters took the lead and took control of the first fort built in Macau.

However, this fort did not have much value, so Li Xian left more than 50 people to guard the prisoners, and instructed him to defend if he could, and retreat if he couldn't, and the most important thing was to remember that the powder magazine and artillery were blown up when he retreated.

Next it is the turn of the Macau Battery, commonly known as the St. Paul's Battery or the Central Battery.

This fort is the largest fort in Macao, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, with 32 artillery pieces, and it is a Western-style fortress itself, stationed more than 150 soldiers, both in terms of the degree of defense and the actual combat strength, it is the strongest among all the forts in Macao.

Li Xian felt that this fort must be a hard one, so he took a hundred guards and a hundred martial arts masters to attack, so as to take it in one fell swoop, and it was best not to alarm the other forts.

Sure enough, it was also time for the accident, the four great grandmasters took action and lifted some of the guards on the periphery, Li Xian and others touched it in the back, and as a result, some soldiers came out at night, and when they saw countless black shadows pressing over, they were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they immediately released their guns to warn their companions.
