The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 290 Bombarding Zeelandia City
"Who is it? Why don't you let people sleep well in broad daylight?"

Just as the knock on the door sounded, Zhang Xianzhong's rough voice came from behind the door.

There was a lot of dissatisfaction in this voice, obviously, he hated the knock on the door for disturbing his lucid dreams.

Li Dingguo stood outside the door and whispered, "Father, it's me. I have something important to do."

Zhang Xianzhong heard Li Dingguo's voice, and he was very clear about his son, if there was really nothing important, he would definitely not come over to bother him.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he sat up from the bed, got dressed and walked out.

Looking at his son standing at the door, he asked, "What's going on, and you have to come here yourself?"

Li Dingguo took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Xianzhong, explaining at the same time: "Xiangyang Tang Wang Zhu Yujian led his troops southward, I am afraid he has given up on Xiangyang.

According to the current situation, the situation in Nanzhili is not optimistic. Once the grandson takes over, the situation on our side may collapse directly.My father is still looking forward to a rainy day and planning a lot. "

Zhang Xianzhong really didn't think that things would develop like this. He originally thought that sooner or later he would confront Zhu Yujian, and a conflict would break out, but at this moment, there was no need to worry about it.

But at the same time, Zhu Yujian's southward trip also sounded the alarm for him.

Judging from his previous understanding of Sun Jie, once Sun Jie took Nanzhili, would he let him go?

This is obvious, and he will not let him go at all.

As a result, there was a lot of sadness on his tired face.

He didn't expect things to develop like this.

Thoughts were spinning in his brain, and after a long time, he still didn't make any sense.

Now that he has worn away all his bones in the gentle township, how could he come up with a better way for this kind of thing?
Most of the time, Zhang Xianzhong was just forced to do it subconsciously, expecting him to make a wise and great decision is tantamount to going to the sky.

After thinking for a long time, he came up with nothing, and drove Li Dingguo out.

And he turned around like an ostrich and went back to the room, sleeping soundly again.

Li Dingguo, who walked out of the door, kept sighing at him. He didn't expect that his father had already degenerated into this state.

Just as he walked out of the gate, Sun Kewang's arrogant voice came from behind.

"I just said that father won't see you. You insist on going there. Now you're exhausted. Now you know."

That cynical voice sounded so harsh at this moment.

But Li Dingguo didn't have too many thoughts and returned to his residence.

I brought Zhang Chun over and discussed what to do next.

Zhang Chun has nothing to do, this is an unsolvable situation.

Besides, as the spy left behind by Sun Jie, even if he really has a way, it is impossible for him to tell Li Dingguo openly.

……

Huai'an Mansion, a city of important towns.

In the original history, this was an important city to resist slavery.

But now, it has become an important place to resist Sun Jie.

There are not many defenders in Huai'an Mansion, except for the local militia Xiangyong, there is no other army.

The combat effectiveness of these armies is almost negligible.

He Qi placed the soldiers and horses in his hands outside the city, and after only one round of shelling, the defenders in Huai'an Prefecture surrendered.

After taking down the Huai'an Mansion, he took a short rest and came to the north bank of the Yangtze River with the No.11 new army of the Zhou Dynasty.

Before they could cross the river, there was news from Jinling.

It is said that today's Jinling is almost a ghost city.

Upon hearing the news, the two led the army without stopping, crossed the Yangtze River, and entered Jinling.

Basically all the rich households in Jinling City fled away, leaving only ordinary people and the poor.

After the new army entered Jinling, it immediately began a new round of "cleaning" activities in Jinling City in accordance with the previous rules.

The revived Qinhuai River was destroyed again, and all the smoke and dust women were rescued.

After resting for a while in Jinling City, the army set off again, centered on Jinling, and swept around.

Almost no resistance was encountered, and the entire Nanzhili was easily taken down.

So far, the entire Southeast has fallen into Sun Jie's hands.

……

Time passed quietly, and the four-year Spring Festival in China has just passed.

Sun Jie walked in Chang'an City, strolling in the courtyard as usual.

One after another high-rise buildings continue to rise from the ground, and they have already begun to take on the appearance of a city.

A bigger battle plan was born in his mind.

Today, the unconquered land remains in the Southwest.

These places have already become a mess of loose sand, and it is only normal to take advantage of the situation.

In addition, Zheng Zhilong's army has almost trained.

In addition to the Chang'an and Fuping, Sun Jie built three similar ships from modern times, named Beiping, Jinling, and Luoyang.

The ships are all named after the ancient capital, and have been organized into five fleets by Zheng Zhilong.

The flagship of each fleet is a steel warship, and the rest are filled with wooden ships.

A fleet has twenty ships, and all the ships add up to only a hundred or so.

The number is not large, but it is much more powerful than Zheng Zhilong's fleet before.

Ordinary wooden warships, quite a few are large ships.

Sun Jie also purchased a large number of radio stations from Hyundai, and equipped them on almost every ship.

Traveling on the sea, you no longer have to worry about signal problems.

The domestic war is gradually subsiding, and it will be over in less than a year. North Korea and Japan cannot delay.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was taken aback by Zheng Zhilong's surrender, and subsequently withdrew some troops.

But there are still quite a few soldiers and horses still in North Korea.

Everyone has a fluke mentality, and Sun Jie's attack did not appear for a long time, Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to take the opportunity to make more profits.

Although North Korea has not yet been penetrated, the interest obtained cannot be easily given up, so North Korea still has a considerable number of soldiers and horses.

Under Sun Jie's instruction, the war against North Korea and Japan was drawn to a close.

The two fleets headed by Chang'an and Beiping went to North Korea and lay between Tsushima Island and North Korea.

After a heavy shelling, Tsushima fell into the hands of the Navy.

The Japanese pirates in North Korea completely lost contact with the Japanese country.

Sun Jie was not in a hurry to get people to attack, let the North Koreans and Japanese pirates wear off slowly first.

Two ironclad ships patrolled the sea day and night, cutting off all passages.

……

The night became more and more intense, and the silence outside the city of Zeelandia was incomparable.

About ten miles outside the city of Zeelandia, a team of ten thousand people was quietly stationed here.

The red barbarians in Zeelandia City were arrogant and arrogant, relying on the strength of the city wall, they never thought that anyone could enter the city on land.

However, Zheng Chenggong is going to make this impossible possible this time.

After coming to Taiyuan Island, Zheng Chenggong came up with the idea of ​​Zeelandia City.

Under Zhang Hai's strong suggestion, he planned to attack the city of Zeelandia.

In order to be able to win it smoothly, he has already made preparations.

This time, all the cannons were deliberately taken out, just to be able to shoot down in one fell swoop.

The sky was slightly brighter, and in this thin sunlight, the soldiers and horses advanced slowly.

The terrain of Zeelandia City was very high, and they were still found after all.

Zheng Chenggong didn't panic, he was calm.

Leading the soldiers, they came to the place three miles in front of Zeelandia City.

Following his order, the artillery in his hand was placed at the forefront of the army formation.

The gas tank cannon and the Laiyang steel pipe factory rocket are easy to operate, and Zheng Chenggong's soldiers also mastered them in a short period of time.

The Governor of Zeelandia City, Putmans, stood on the wall of the outer city of Zeelandia City, holding up a binoculars, and looked at Zheng Chenggong and the others with disdain.

Naturally, it is clear that the reason Zheng Chenggong and others are here is nothing more than to attack him.

So far, not much to worry about.

It's not that Zheng Zhilong didn't beat them back then, and he still got nothing.

With its back against the city of Zeelandia, it is invincible to the entire Taiyuan Island.

"These yellow-skinned monkeys like to do this kind of fruitless thing the most!"

Putmans smiled contemptuously and walked down the city wall.

After all, he will have to pay the due price for his arrogance.

After the artillery positions were set up, following Zheng Chenggong's order, the shells flew across the sky like meteors and landed at the gate of the city.

Zheng Chenggong knew how strong the city walls of Zeelandia were, and for the sake of conservatism, he planned to bomb the city gates with all his might.

"Bang bang bang!"

Explosions exploded at the city gate one after another, and the huge explosion instantly tore the city gate apart.

Even the city wall near the city gate was blown to pieces.

Putmans, who had just walked down the city wall, was frightened by the violent explosion and threw himself on the ground. After recovering, he found that the city gate behind him had been blasted open.

"Damn, how did this happen?!" Putmans yelled in panic.

This level of bombing was beyond his imagination.

"What kind of weapon is this? Why is it so powerful?"

Seeing the continuous flashes of fire on the city wall and the rumbling cannons, Putmans panicked.

He rarely does this, but this time he was quite frightened.

The city gate was broken, and the fate can be imagined.

There are three sailing battleships docked at the port outside the city. There were five ships a few days ago, and two of them left yesterday.

The sailing battleship soon discovered the flames of battle in Zeelandia City, and they naturally began to adjust the direction of the warship and fired at the place where Zheng Chenggong was.

There is a plain near the city of Zeelandia, and it is not difficult to find Zheng Chenggong and the others.

Zheng Chenggong would not be afraid of the sailing battleship, so without even thinking about it, he let his artillery aim at them.

"Whoosh!"

A gas tank bomb landed on the deck of a sailing battleship, and the huge explosion directly blasted a big hole in the deck.

The fragments and sawdust produced during the explosion flew around the explosion centered on it.

The sailors standing on the deck were instantly blown upside down.

"Bang bang bang!"

Dense shells enveloped the entire port, and shells continued to fall into the water near the three sailing battleships.

The sailing battleship was originally docked in the port, and it was too close to Zheng Chenggong's side, so the hit rate was naturally high.

Under Zheng Chenggong's attack, the three sailing battleships were in a panic.

The shell exploded on the sea surface, and the water waves generated kept hitting the sailing battleship.

The sailing battleship is like a boat on the vast ocean, shaking non-stop.

"It's impossible to fight, it's impossible to fight at all." A sailor on a sailing warship shouted, then jumped into the sea and swam towards the coast.

Just after jumping into the sea, several shells landed where they were just now.

The violent explosion instantly emptied the surrounding area.

A sailing battleship made of wood simply cannot withstand a bombing of this scale.

Except for this sailor, the other sailors also jumped into the sea and swam towards the shore.

There is no way to fight back if you stay on the boat now, and if you stay on the boat for a second longer, you will have a little more risk.

The cannons on the Hongyi boat are basically cast cannons with limited range and accuracy, and cannot deal an effective blow to Zheng Chenggong.

Although Zheng Chenggong's cannons were not accurate, they were considerable in number and powerful.

There are not many sailors on these three sailing battleships. With this kind of firepower, it is almost impossible to organize a counterattack.

There are also some forts on the city wall of Zeelandia, which are located at the corners of the city wall and connected to the city wall.

Under the artillery fire, Putmans ventured to the city wall and directed the artillery to counterattack.

If he didn't go up, it is estimated that these artillerymen would have fled.

Only by going up to hold the line in person can we guarantee that they will not run away.

These Hongyi are not elite soldiers, but relying on the strength of their weapons, they can only bully and bully the natives. If they encounter a strong opponent, they will still die.

"Give me a full counterattack!"

Putmans stood on the city wall, pointed at Zheng Chenggong, and shouted at the orderly beside him.

"Oh!"

After a bronze cannon was loaded, the gunner ignited the fuse.

After a few breaths, the cannon roared, and a solid iron ball flew out of the cannon barrel, heading towards Zheng Chenggong.

It's a pity that the accuracy of the bronze smoothbore guns of this era is so poor that this shell missed at all.

Zheng Chenggong looked at the solid artillery shells falling in front, then pointed to the place where the shells flew, and shouted to the messenger behind him: "Send the order, and change the attack target to the fort of Zeelandia City, and attack with all your strength!" .”

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The shells roared towards the fort of Zeelandia City.

"Oh!"

A gas tank shell directly hit the fort, and then the cannon exploded violently.

The building materials of this era simply cannot withstand the bombing of dozens of catties of explosives.

At the moment of the explosion, the high temperature generated during the explosion ignited the gunpowder stored in the fort, resulting in a violent explosion.

A black smoke rose, and the fort was blown into ruins, and even the city wall was blown down.

The gunners inside were devoured by the explosion, and the soldiers in the fort were mercilessly harvested by the explosion.

Under the huge bombardment, the soldiers on the city wall fell into extreme panic one by one.

They had never encountered an attack of this magnitude, never seen such a terrifying explosion.

Looking at the destroyed fort, Putmans became even more frightened.

The fort that was blown up was still relatively far away from him, so it didn't affect him.

If he happened to be at that fort, I am afraid that he would have already become a corpse now.
