Night

Although it was already around eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Yang Feng still did not sleep. He called Song Ye to take more than a dozen family members out of the residence and wanted to take a walk outside, but now there are more than 10,000 people stationed in the port, including two infantry battalions, a baggage battalion and a medical battalion, and Yang Feng, who is a little depressed, left the port and came to a small forest less than a kilometer away from Fort San Petro.

From this grove, you can see that the walls of Fort San Petro are filled with torches of all sizes, reflecting the surroundings brightly.

It seems that these Spaniards are still quite vigilant, this is to prevent us from launching a night attack.

Yang Feng raised the binoculars and observed again, and found that every ten minutes or so, there was a patrol patrolling back and forth on the city wall, not only that, but there were also many young people on the city wall who were busy reinforcing the city wall and carrying materials, and the whole group was the scene before the big war.

Yang Feng also found that the city wall of Fort San Petro is about 12 meters high, and the entire castle is divided into two layers, which is enough to make the attackers scratch their heads, and the castle built by the Spaniards is concave and convex, with a protruding semicircular platform every ten meters, and each platform is built with seven or eight battlements as shooting holes, which can ensure 180 degrees of shooting in the left, right and front directions.

From this point of view, Westerners have studied the architecture and structure of castles very thoroughly, which is stronger than that of Huaxia. After Yang Feng came to Daming, he found that although the cities of Daming were also built very tall, all the cities were mostly in the same square shape, and no one realized that a protrusion was made in front as a supplement and extension of firepower.

Seeing this, Yang Feng can imagine that tomorrow, if the Ming army launches an attack, when groups of sergeants carry ladders and charge towards Fort San Petro, the soldiers on Fort San Petro can bombard with artillery while shooting at the attacking Jiangning soldiers with handcuffs.

In this way, the casualties of the Jiangning army as the attacker are naturally self-evident, Yang Feng estimates that if the sergeants are allowed to attack without any protection like this, I am afraid that the casualties of the Jiangning army in a day will be blessed if they are less than 1,000.

"Is this castle a good place to fight?"

Yang Feng frowned slightly, his previous combat targets were mainly Manchus, but against an army like the Manchu Qing Dynasty that was still in the era of cold weapons, to be honest, it was not too difficult, as long as he didn't make some fatal mistakes, it would be difficult to defeat the battle.

But this time it was different, they were facing the same army that used hot weapons, and their proficiency in using hot weapons was no less than their own, so the difficulty of the battle was greatly enhanced.

It is not advisable to send a large army to attack, so that there is no use except to increase casualties, even if you attack hard, and finally win by luck, the casualties you pay are unimaginable.

"Alas...... If only there were tanks, only one or two tanks would have to drive over, and I'm afraid it wouldn't take Fort San Petro in a few hours. ”

Yang Feng muttered a sentence in his mouth, but then laughed again, although with his current energy, he could also use Vladimir to get a few tanks to play, but for the Ming Dynasty, the technical content of this thing was too high, and it was not something that one or two people could play.

Without the help of professional logistics support personnel, it is impossible to play at all, not to mention, without training, I am afraid that I can't even figure out how to add engine oil, let alone technical work such as changing track maintenance.

Come to think of it, let's honestly play with their front-loading artillery and breech guns, at least this thing will not be outdated for more than a hundred years in the future, as for more advanced rear-loading artillery or rifles in the real modern sense, it is better to wait until the industrial level of the Ming Dynasty has developed to that point, and excessive seedling growth is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Feng was muttering, and his brain was running rapidly.

Fort San Petro is worthy of being the most important stronghold of the Spaniards in Asia, it is extremely strong, and the Spaniards will definitely place a large number of artillery on the city wall, coupled with the condescending bombardment of the firearms, such an advantage is not too obvious for the Jiangning army.

If you want to take Fort San Petro, you must first destroy their artillery, at least to minimize the threat of artillery to the siege troops, Yang Feng from modern times is simply clear about the threat of artillery with the reputation of "God of War".

It's just how to knock out their artillery, and what is the number and location of their artillery? Yang Feng was pacing back and forth while thinking quickly.

Just as Yang Feng was pondering, a family's voice suddenly came from not far away: "What...... Hold it! ”

"Protect Master Hou!"

As Song Ye's voice fell, Song Ye, who had been following Yang Feng closely, and several family members rushed to his side quickly, forming a meat shield to protect him in the middle.

"Come out...... Otherwise I'm going to shoot! ”

With the shouts of several family members, the sound of the hammer being pulled away on the fire gun also continued to sound.

"Don't shoot...... Don't shoot...... My own people, I don't collect the brigade at night, and I just came back from an errand! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, come out quickly!"

With a murmuring sound, two figures emerged from behind the tree.

The leader seemed to know the rules very well, and when he came out, he raised his hands high and turned back and forth twice.

But even so, Song Ye did not relax his vigilance in the slightest, and personally went up to pull the two aside unceremoniously, and searched the side carefully all over his body, and then ran to Yang Feng and whispered: "Master Hou, it has been checked." Two people, a man and a woman, the man is carrying a standard three-eyed handcuff and a dagger of our Jiang Ning Army, and the woman is a red-haired devil with no weapons on her body. ”

Yang Feng glanced at the place where the two of them were standing, and since it was too dark to see anything clearly, he said, "Take them back, I will see them in my residence." ”

"Yes!"

Song Ye agreed, and asked the family members to escort Yang Feng back to the barracks first, and he himself personally took three family members to press these two people back to the barracks.

Half an hour later, Yang Feng saw Zhao Laohei and Avilia who had slipped out of the castle under the cover of night in his residence.

"You are the thousand president Zhao Laohei who doesn't collect the brigade at night?" Looking at Zhao Laohei, who was already dressed in the uniform of the Jiangning Army, Yang Feng asked with interest.

Zhao Laohei held his head high, and his chest was high: "Master Qiqi, the humble position is Zhao Laohei, the head of the brigade who does not accept the night at night!" ”

Yang Feng pointed at Avilia again: "What about her, why did she go on a business trip, and even the red-haired devil's woman turned back?" ”

This sentence caused a burst of laughter from the vigilant family members next to them.
