Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 165 Fishing
"Chenghai City, does it really have no weaknesses?"

At the same time, Lei Zhentian also asked the exact same question as Zheng Jing.

After today's battle, Lei Zhentian was as excited as a child who hadn't grown up. He walked around the entire Chenghai City several times, touched and looked around, and even went up to kiss him when he was aroused. Thor cannon.

In Liu Dapao's eyes, that action was even a little obscene.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Chenghai City is invulnerable.

If Zheng Chenggong had such a fortress in his hands, how could he be driven to Xiamen?

Liu Dapao smiled and said, "How is that possible? How can there be a truly indestructible fortress in this world? The weaknesses of Chenghai City are still obvious, such as relying too much on firearms. If it is raining, the defense will definitely be greatly reduced. , if you encounter extreme weather, such as a super typhoon, and the enemy is well-trained, even if you attack the city under such extreme weather, it is possible to attack it."

"This is a bit unrealistic. Soldiers who can attack the city in such extreme weather are not really iron soldiers? Our gunpowder is relatively moisture-proof granular gunpowder, and the edges and corners of the bastion are all hidden in the window to shoot. However, the impact we have received is far less than that of the enemy army who attacked the city, right?"

"In addition, even if extreme weather is not considered, there is still a way to break through Chenghai City."

"Oh? What method, tell me, let's study it together, so that I can prepare in advance."

"The strength of Chenghai City lies in the dense cross-fire network without dead angles. However, this non-dead angle actually refers to the flat bottom. What if the enemy doesn't attack the city from the flat bottom?"

"You mean...underground?"

"Yes, the way to break into Chenghai City lies underground. If you can dig a trench with a depth of more than two meters and dig it in a "Z" shape from outside the range of fire to the corner of Chenghai City, you can escape from the city. Covered by firepower."

It was only then that Lei Zhentian suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is like this. You know a lot about cannons. Fortunately, Zheng Jing and the others don't understand anything, and they can't think of such a way to attack the city."

"So, I have to make some arrangements later, and find some opportunity to quietly send this method to Zheng Jing."

"What? This is the only way to break through the bastion, why do you take the initiative to tell them?"

Liu Dapao smiled confidently and said, "First, I am afraid that they will run away. As I said before, Zheng Jing's siege may not necessarily be a bad thing for us, and it may even be a godsend."

"Furthermore, this method is the only possible way to attack Chenghai. It is not guaranteed to win if you use it. After you have dug a trench, you can't hide in it, right? In fact, after the trench is dug, you can still We must find dead spots in the tunnels again, and engage in artillery bombardment and musketry with the city, and whoever has more cannons and guns will be more accurate than whose artillery and spearmen."

Lei Zhentian thought for a while and said: "One trench is definitely not enough for this method of siege, and a hundred trenches are not too many to break Chenghai. Not to mention how long it will take to dig a hundred trenches, he Zheng Where can I find a hundred cannons? And where can I find ammunition for these hundred cannons?"

"That's right. In the final analysis, what everyone is comparing is artillery, muskets, and gunpowder. On the contrary, it's the bravery of the soldiers. Although it can't be said that they are completely useless, cold weapons are indeed useless. However, compared with the production and use of firearms, Mo Speaking of him, Zheng Jing, even if the entire Qing court gathers the power of the whole country, it may not be as good as ours."

"In the final analysis, the times have changed. The future wars must belong to firearms. In fact, the reason why the Qing court was able to rule the Central Plains was to rely on the advantages of firearms. However, they themselves advocated the bravery of riding and shooting, and they sacrificed everything. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"If Zheng Jing didn't have the heart to surrender, the only thing he can do now is wipe his neck and commit suicide, then it doesn't matter if I say nothing to him or not, and as long as he doesn't commit suicide, he must have surrendered." Yes. Although he doesn’t have enough artillery, it doesn’t mean he can’t organize people to dig out the ditch first. This is a military war, but it’s also more of a political gesture. If he can’t fight it down, he can wait for reinforcements.”

"I'm really looking forward to a battle with Labu in Chenghai City."

"Third, why do you think that I sold the Thunder God Cannon, Myojin Cannon, and Fuming Gun to allies without reservation, but I kept covering this grenade with sugar and gunpowder?"

"It is true that trench siege is the only way of attacking Chenghai City, but this grenade is the nemesis of trenches. When the enemy really digs the trench to the bottom of the city, I will directly send troops to throw grenades into the trench for safekeeping. The enemy army will die as many times as they come."

Lei Zhentian suddenly realized: "So it is like this."

But he laughed silly, and gave Liu Dapao a thumbs up: "After you become the prime minister, Dapao, you are even more sinister."

"Go, is there anyone who praises you so much? I call it wisdom."

………………

It is not difficult to pass the news. You must know that his Chenghai City was originally a Vauban-style bastion, which was built with the help of the Dutch, so Liu Dapao found a German in the city. My name is Von Kritt, let's call him Old Von.

Anyway, with Zheng Jing's ability, it should be difficult to tell the difference between the Dutch and the Germans.

The Germans are the best mercenaries, and they are also a group of real desperadoes. Liu Dapao gave him a sum of money, let him pretend to be a greedy Dutch businessman who escaped from the city, and deliberately sold the information Exchange money for Zheng Jing.

Because of this information Zheng Jing will definitely give him money, even if Zheng Jing really took refuge in the Qing court, it is not impossible to introduce this person to Emperor Kangxi, maybe he can also seek an official like Nan Huairen What about part-time jobs?
In that case, one more spy can be developed by the way.

As soon as this old Feng heard that there was such a good thing, he agreed without saying a word.

After Zheng Jing heard what Lao Feng said, he suddenly realized it.

Liu Guoxuan said: "It's really a good idea to dig a 'Z' trench to avoid the firepower on the city. It's wonderful. It seems that some things are just a layer of window paper, which can be broken as soon as you poke it."

Zheng Jing was so happy that he almost jumped up, with a slack smile on his face, and said: "This man was probably released on purpose by Liu Dapao, but this method of attacking the city with trenches should be it is true."

"Why did Liu Dapao do this?"

"Use yourself as a bait and us as a fishing rod to catch a big fish like Prince Jane. This guy is really ambitious."

"So that's it. Then it's a win-win thing. Aren't we waiting for La Bu under the city? We just took advantage of this time to dig out the trench. After Prince Jane comes, it's hard for him to get off. Wait We will meet the Emperor of Tartars in the future, oh no, it will be better for His Majesty to explain later."

"That's right, and if that's what Liu Dapao really meant, at least before Prince Jane comes over, I don't have to worry about him coming out of the city to beat me."
