0555, entering the city was blocked

"Inspect the enemy captain Zhou Laosi!"

"The last general!"

"The enemy has set fire to the city and has abandoned Selangor, and now the wolf bรจi has fled southward, and is blocked by the rest of Johor on the front line of Seremban (now Negeri Sembilan). Zhong Guozhu's sailors have been fighting the enemy in the West Sea for three days, and the capture of Famosha Castle is the only key point now. I order you to lead Sima Cheng and my personal soldiers, a total of 500 people, to set off immediately, and take advantage of the enemy's chaos to lurk into the city, there must be no mistake!"

"The last general commanded, he must take advantage of the chaos to seize the east gate and welcome the army into the city!"

Zhou Laosi hugged his fists slightly and turned around and left, now his eyebrows were burned, and there was not so much to say except for fighting to the death.

Seeing Zhou Laosi and his five hundred people disappear into the dense forest, Xiong Kaishan continued: "Captain Mo Dongnian!"

Mo Dongnian flashed out: "The end will be!"

"I order you to set out at once with two thousand guards, follow the enemy who has escaped from Selangor City, and secretly approach the castle of Famosha Castle. As soon as the enemy opens the door and lets people into the city, you will immediately kill them. The main purpose is to climb the city wall to go to the enemy's batteries, and then bombard the enemy's fleet behind the city, and relieve Zhong Guozhu's siege, there must be no mistake!"

"The last general will obey!" Mo Dongnian was also like a fire burning his buttocks, turning around and running.

It turned out that Sima Cheng chased more than two miles in one breath before smashing the head of the strange python into flowers.

Because the strange python was so powerful, the only people in the entire army who could be killed with their strength were Xiong Kaishan and himself, so Sima Cheng cleared the trouble and did not let it go.

Unexpectedly, even so, when Xiong Kaishan led a large army to cross the mountain beam two days later, he still lost more than 500 people and more than 400 war horses.

Coupled with the loss of more than 100 people by Sima Chengkai, a total of more than 700 people were killed in the 260-mile dense forest.

The four days and four nights of running did not kill a single enemy, but they lost nearly half of the troops, which made Xiong Kaishan, Sima Cheng, and Mo Dongnian cry and die.

Finally arrived at a place twenty miles east of Selangor City, and news came from Zhou Laosi's scout camp: "Because the Dutch may have detected that Zhong Guozhu's sailors are aiming to seize Famosha Castle and hold the Strait of Malacca, the Dutch fleet has begun to move south." โ€

"At the critical juncture of facing a north-south attack, Zhong Guozhu's naval division could only launch a decisive attack on the Portuguese fleet in the south in advance. Strive to break the Portuguese along the way first, and then turn back to meet the Dutch while they are taking advantage of the fire. โ€

"Unexpectedly, the Portuguese fleet retreated in the sea west of Selangor, and more than 1,500 Portuguese troops in the city were taken by surprise, and as a result, the Portuguese collapsed when the 3,000 men of Aso Rize attacked the city once. โ€

"The fleet retreated, and the people on land also began to retreat urgently, and set fire to the city. In this way, the water and land lines chased and fled, and Zhong Guozhu's sailors soon arrived in the sea area west of Famosha Castle. โ€

"The Portuguese fleet lined up close to the castle and used the castle fort to resist to the death. Although the Portuguese fleet only had one five-masted warship and seven three-masted warships, because the firepower of the castle battery was too fierce, Zhong Guozhu stormed for three days, and had already sunk one three-masted warship and two sloops, and still could not completely defeat the Portuguese. โ€

It was in this emergency situation that Xiong Kaishan could only make the decision to break the boat, ordering the scout battalion and his own soldiers to infiltrate the city, striving to capture Famosha Castle in one fell swoop, and then use the enemy's batteries to attack the enemy's fleet from behind.

In fact, Xiong Kaishan did not know that the Portuguese had already set off all their merchant ships and ferries six days earlier, and crossed the Straits into Temasek (present-day Singapore) with their fate to send goods and personnel.

It's not that the Portuguese weren't brave enough, but because they robbed too many things, which were all the capital to make a fortune in the future, and the fundamental purpose of their adventure here.

When the enemy attacked, one of the first problems that came to the mind of the Portuguese was to be on the safe side, and to quickly transfer what they had looted so as not to be damaged.

However, there was no impermeable wall, and the materials were urgently transferred, and of course the clerks of the various merchant houses and clubs retreated synchronously, and then everyone who came to the adventure knew that they had to retreat, and finally the army was disheartened.

As a result, an active retreat just in case was caused by a major rout by the Portuguese.

As for setting fire to the city, this is the old Portuguese routine. When they set foot on Johor Island, every city they occupied was a massacre, killing more than 70,000 people in less than a year.

However, the central part of Johor Island is full of high mountains and dense forests, and the towns are on the eastern and western coastlines. The Portuguese only had a total of about 7,000 people, so it was naturally impossible to kill all the locals, and they did not dare to enter the deep mountains and dense forests.

Unexpectedly, the strange actions of the Portuguese first alarmed the remnants of the Kingdom of Johor, and as a result, they set up an ambush in the southeast mountains of Seremban City to beat the water dogs to pick up the cheap, creating even more chaos for the already chaotic Portuguese.

Xiong Kaishan ordered Zhou Laosi to put down a qiฤ“ and lead the scout battalion and the pro-soldier battalion to catch up, hoping to take advantage of the gap between Johor to block the Portuguese and see if it was possible to come first and get close to Famosha Castle before the Portuguese.

As for Chige's Shooting Battalion, it did not climb over the central mountain range, but continued south along the east coast. On the one hand, it is hoped that the local unruly natives will be cleared, and on the other hand, it is hoped that the enemy's retreat will be cut off.

Now that the enemy has fled ahead of schedule, no one knows whether Chige's shooting battalion will be able to block the enemy's retreat.

After all, according to the original plan, Chige's shooting battalion ran more than 800 miles in ten days, and then blocked the enemy's retreat from the south and intercepted what belonged to us.

This routine was used once in Mobei that year, forcing Gunbu to surrender, and everyone was happy in the end.

Now the whole plan is all messed up, even if the enemy wants to transport away the things that have been robbed of us, Xiong Kaishan can only call in vain, and there is no way to think about it anymore.

Zhou Laosi and his scout battalion are mainly tasked with reconnoitring strategic and tactical targets, so they have some understanding of the situation in Famosha Castle.

The Portuguese and the vehicles transporting supplies were all blocked on the front line of Furong City, and Zhou Laosi and they could only intersperse from the dense forest in the east. What was originally a distance of more than 240 miles has now become more than 300 miles.

Now there is no need to think about anything, let alone whether the Portuguese will rush to Famosha Castle first, the only thing to do is to rush to the last chance at the last opportunity.

It took a day and two nights, and more than 800 people barely rested along the way, and finally arrived at Shinno Village, east of Famosha Castle.

It is less than fifty miles away from its final destination, Famosha Castle on the west side of the sea.

Xinye Village was established after refugees from Xinye County, Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province fled, so the name Xinye in this place means nostalgia for their homeland.

Previously, when Zhou Laosi came to reconnoitre, he found a fellow from Henan who came over eight years ago, and today he wants to use the relationship here to inquire about the situation.

The Henan fellow shook his head: "In the past half a month, the north has been passing soldiers. Whether it's over now, no one knows. We outsiders didn't dare to go out and see at all, they saw one killing another. โ€

"The army is looking for a break in the dense forest, and I'll go out to see the situation and then make a plan. Throwing down a sentence, Zhou Laosi's figure has disappeared.

There is no way to do it, everyone has not rested for two or three days, and they are all exhausted. But as the leader of this time, Zhou Laosi can only do it himself, although he also fights with his upper and lower eyelids, as if he can fall asleep while walking.

"Is this a retreat? I look like a refugee!"

Lying in a bush, still under the black pressure of mosquitoes, Zhou Laosi looked at the endless long queue on a small road in the north, and felt a little disapproving.

He came to reconnoiter for two main purposes: the first was whether the enemy had finished passing, and the second was whether there were Portuguese in the back, preferably soldiers.

Zhou Laosi and they want to sneak into the city, and they can't go through some disguises. If you want to be able to take advantage of the chaos, it is best to disguise yourself as a Portuguese.

When the sun was in the west, Zhou Laosi found that the number of people from the north was slowly decreasing, and he knew that his last chance had come, so he hurried back to bring the large army over.

"Remember, from now on, let no one who comes from the north be spared. Everyone needs to find a set of clothes to change into, and they also need to find some items to take with them so that they can hide their weapons and infiltrate the city. โ€

More than 800 people found a bend in the path and set up an ambush in the grass on both sides of the path. Whoever came by on the road was to be summarily executed, stripped off their clothes and put on them.

Unexpectedly, when the sun was about to set, I only had more than 400 sets of clothes, and there was no time to continue waiting.

At this time, a force of more than 2,000 people appeared in the north, and it was Captain Zhichong Mo Dongnian who brought people over.

Zhou Laosi roared: "The people who didn't change their clothes followed Mo Dongnian's actions, and the others followed me!"

After thousands of calculations, Zhou Laosi forgot one thing.

Now that the two sides are fighting fiercely, and they have reached the final stage of life and death, the castle of Famosha is another critical node, and the Portuguese are always closed at any time.

Zhou Laosi and more than 400 of them pretended to bury their heads and ran outside the East City Gate, it was already dark, and the clothes and the like could still be dealt with, but another trouble came!

Among the more than 400 people, not a single person can speak the words of the Portuguese, as long as he opens his mouth, he will be exposed, how can he open the city gate?

"Scattered, now it is no longer possible to enter through the city gate. โ€

Listening to the rumbling sound of cannons coming from the city wall, Zhou Laosi knew that Zhong Guozhu's sailors on the sea were still suffering huge casualties.

It can't be delayed any longer, you must enter the city as much as possible, open the city gate, and let the large army of Captain Mo Dongnian in the back enter the city.

"The brothers with good skills stood up, and everyone also saw that the height of the city wall was about three feet and five feet, and the people who estimated that they could climb up stood up and climbed the city with me!"

Zhou Laosi didn't look at those people who would stand up, because he was observing the situation on the city wall in the grass.

It's really a blessing in misfortune, the attention of the enemies in the city is all in the west, it should be Zhong Guozhu's sailor who has caused great pressure on the people in the city, there are only four enemies on the wall of the east city gate, and now they are dangling back and forth with birds.

Zhou Laosi carefully calculated the distance between the four enemies, which was about five zhang apart. If you can go up to four people here, you can complete the action of climbing the city.

"Give me the ropes from the scout camp, and the others will come with me!"

The big war is imminent, and the person who takes the lead, and the person who is the leader plays a role at this time.

Sure enough, the people who followed Zhou Laosi closely, the "chicken and dog thieves" in the scout camp accounted for more than half.

If these people can't climb up, it's all bad.

Zhou Laosi quietly touched the city, stretched out his hand and touched the city wall, and the cold sweat on his forehead came down.

It turns out that this city is completely different from the mainland, the city walls are made of smooth round stones, and there is no way to leave your hands!
