To attack a city, of course, it is necessary to know the situation of the enemy, especially the situation of the enemy's artillery.

Zhang Qiang took his subordinate generals, as well as Zheng Tai and Zheng Chenggong's people, and circled around Chichicheng City.

As in the city of Geranza, the enemy is on high ground, our side is on low ground, and the terrain is not in favor of us.

And the red city is close to the sea, there are some coastal defense shore guns, there are about ten batteries, from the analysis of the shells fired by the enemy, the shore defense artillery is about 18 pounder guns, the enemy came from far away to Daming, tens of thousands of kilometers of sea routes, to Daming, a lot of technology and artillery can only be transported from distant Europe, so most of the cannons are disassembled from the ship, and they are not beyond the range of Zhang Qiang's firepower, except for the influence of terrain factors, everyone's level is actually the same.

Oh, by the way, and the quality of the shooter, the Westerners' gunners are probably better than the Easterners, of course, this is relative, in fact, the current Westerners' gunners are actually illiterate and savage skilled gunners, and those accurate mathematician gunners are still very few.

The caliber is the same, the enemy occupies the geography, and the shells fired from the height have the bonus of terrain factors, and the range is a little farther than Zhang Qiang's cannons.

Here in the red embedded city, Zheng Tai and they are not much better than the city of Geranza, the besieged personnel here have 3,000 elite troops, this is relatively speaking, they are all some old pirates, there are not many fighters on land, most of them are some people, they dig trenches around, build walls, camps, guide the moat river water to flow to other directions, fill in the moat, approach the enemy's breastwork, and use cannon fodder soldiers, attack the enemy's breastwork again and again.

The enemy's counterattack was not as fierce as that of the city of Geranza, and most of the breastwork was torn down, while the enemy simply withdrew to the city, relying on the high walls to defend the city.

The walls are all cut of stone, and compared to the Chinese walls, the Dutch castle appears tall and compact, with extremely high defense, and the diamond-shaped fortress leaves the enemy without a little place to exploit the hole.

The trees and hills around the castle were mostly swept away, and there was no place to use them, and the enemy could stand on the castle and see the distance of several miles in an unobstructed manner, and the artillery could be condescending and ravaging the opponent.

Like the city of Geranza, the Zheng army here still lost a lot of artillery, and many broken wooden planks of ships can be seen on the beach on the sea, presumably Zheng Chenggong wanted to attack the castle from the sea.

Circling around the Red Embedded City, Tang Dianfeng was worried, and whispered to Zhang Qiang in embarrassment: "My lord, this Dutchman is too shrewd, the surroundings are wide and bright, and he doesn't even give us a chance, how can he attack?" ”

Zhang Qiang smiled and said nothing, it seems that the enemy is very smart, but no matter how smart the enemy is, it is impossible to have no flaws, most of the enemy's city walls are diamond-shaped, and it seems that the defense is extremely strong, in fact, due to the limited terrain and compact structure, the enemy's artillery cannot be placed too much, in fact, the firepower on each side is not very sufficient, especially now that there are no flowering shells, only solid ballistic era.

A dozen flowering shells are one piece, the damage is area damage, and the solid bullet is one, as long as it is not in one line, the enemy's shell will hit the enemy on the open ground, how much price it will have to pay.

On the other hand, your side is the besieging side, and you can choose any place in the open space to attack.

Liu Guoxuan also looked worried, "Your Excellency Governor, although we have a larger artillery than the enemy and a more far-east range, the enemy can offset the range of your artillery by virtue of the advantage of the terrain, how can this be good?" ”

"Haha, look and see. General Tang, order our captive soldiers to work, dig a trench for me from the periphery of the Zheng army siege to the enemy's castle three miles, the trench should be wide, tortuous, do not dig into a line, and when it is three miles away, then dig horizontally, the excavated trench should be able to move the width of a 48-pound cannon in it, and the depth should be about two meters, and the excavated earthwork should be stacked on both sides of the trench to raise the height of the trench. ”

Zhang Qiang casually said to Tang Dian, who managed the militia and captured soldiers.

"Yes, my lord," Tang Dianfeng gladly agreed.

"Also, don't really dig from ten miles away, dig from here." Zhang Qiang pointed to the topographic map he had just drawn to the Tang Hall Wind Duct.

In the southwest corner of the city, there is a cliff on the coast, the enemy did not destroy it, relying on the seven bends here, about five miles or so, originally there was the enemy's coastal defense battery, but the army besieged the city, and the enemy was limited by the disadvantage of numbers, and abandoned the coastal defense battery.

Although the terrain here is high, there is still a considerable height difference between it and the castle of Chichise, which the enemy built on the top of the mountain.

Maybe it's a high place for the sea, but for the monster of the Red Embedded City, the shore defense battery is actually seven or eight meters lower than the Red Embedded City, and it is far away, once the attacking side attacks from the land, the coastal defense battery can be broken by the enemy from behind, so the enemy gives up here and retreats to the Red Embedded City.

It was only three miles from here to Chichicheng, and the artillery needed to walk about five miles to enter from this side, expand the road, pave the road, and the artillery could be pulled by horse-drawn carts to the back of the ridge on the side of the shore fort, and from here it was about three miles away from Chichicheng.

After paving the road, it only needs to be excavated about one or two hundred meters away, and it can be spread horizontally, and there are mounds about a few meters high, which can be used as a barrier to cover the digging, and digging from the mound to the inside, and it will soon be able to advance to the range of the enemy's breastwork, which has two lines, one at 500 meters, which has been completely destroyed, and there are some ruins and broken walls, which are just the place where the second trench spreads horizontally.

Here, even a 48-pounder gun could concentrate the enemy's walls.

"Here, here, do this," Zhang Qiang told Tang Dianfeng little by little.

Liu Guoxuan and they listened carefully, for a long time, when Zhang Qiang raised his head, he was met with a pair of surprised eyes, so far away, admiring eyes.

Yu Xing slapped his thigh, "Wow, why didn't I think of it, why are we so stupid?" ”

His words drew a bunch of rolls.

Everyone's eyes seem to be, "You idiot, even if you know that everyone didn't think of it, you don't have to say it, doesn't this tell people that we are a bunch of stupid people?" ”

Yu Xing didn't have this awareness, he was still in excitement, looking at Zhang Qiang's eyes with a soft and adoring look.

Originally, Zhang Qiang saw everyone's vigilant and indifferent eyes, and only cooperated with Zhang Qiang out of helplessness, after all, the warlord, even if it is the general under the warlord, their own vigilance is very high, an outsider, help you fight, what is his intention? Don't want to profit from yourself? They are happy to take something from someone else, but someone else takes something from them, and that's something wrong with someone else, even if someone else is trying to help them.

And at this moment, they looked at Zhang Qiang's eyes less indifferently, less vigilant, and more recognized.

At this moment, these pirates, heroes, warlords and generals can be said to be a rather contradictory character, for the good, for their good, they are very agreeable, but at the same time they are vigilant, but for those who have the ability, those who can convince them, they are admired, heroes cherish heroes, and hot-blooded heroes are probably the same.
