Chapter 436 What am I doing?
Zheng Jiu's voice was loud and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Oh ~
Another defeat of the Ming army.

Zheng Bing was also a little speechless, why did another defeated general jump out.I wanted to scold him too, but I could bear it after thinking about what happened to him.

Because he has really seen the benefits of the firearms!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, and Zheng Ji didn't scold him, Zheng Jiu spoke with memories on his face.

"I have fought against the Ming army twice. The first time was when they attacked the port. I swear, that was the closest I have ever been to death. A shell landed on the city wall a dozen steps behind me, If it weren't for the soldiers around me who blocked me, I would have been killed by the bomb.

Even so, I was still blown away by a gust of air and passed out, if it wasn't for a soldier who saved me.I should be their prisoner now.I don't understand why they have such powerful cannons, I don't know how to describe them at all, but ten times more powerful than the Dutch cannons!hundred times!
The second time I fought against them was to defend Haiyang City.In fact, it is not appropriate to say that they fought, because our soldiers didn't even have a chance to fight back.This time they used a small artillery, how small is it?To be able to run on the back of someone!Dozens of them, they dispatched dozens of these small cannons in total. After a few shells went down, there would be no soldiers who could stand at the top of the city!Then the city gate was blown open with dynamite.Haiyang City fell.

correct!Whether it is the big guns or small guns on the ship, they are all explosive shells.The fragments from the bomb can kill people!We must be careful!Don't underestimate them just because they are small.Otherwise, the consequences will be serious. "

Recalling what happened to him a few days ago, Zheng Jiu had fear on his face.He wanted to say that otherwise, Shenglong wouldn't be able to hold on, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Is there really a cannon that can be carried around in this world? So how powerful is it?"

A general couldn't believe it, and asked.

"How powerful? Under one shell, there is no living person within five steps! And the most important thing is that their artillery is very accurate! At least half of them can be hit! More than 1000 people under my command have seen it with their own eyes. Don't you believe it? Ask them one by one."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zheng Jiu refuted with staring eyes.

"I can't even ask? I said I don't believe it?"

The general who was asking the question also choked up his neck, and it seemed that they were about to quarrel.Zheng Yan opened his mouth to stop them.

"You have heard, so far, we can conclude that the Ming army has a small artillery with great power and is very accurate. Besides, there is also a kind of gunpowder with great power, which is used to destroy the city gate. Tell me, how to restrain these two things from them?"

As soon as Zheng Yi said this, everyone fell silent.

"Generalissimo, if we block the city gate with stones, no matter how powerful their gunpowder is, they probably won't be able to blow it open, right?"

After Zheng Tao thought for a while, he came up with an idea to block the city gate.

"No! If the city gate is blocked, won't the soldiers be unable to enter or exit?"

"That's right! Right now there are soldiers inside and outside the city. If the city gate is sealed, the soldiers outside the city will not even have the chance to retreat."

"That's right. There is also a caretaker inside and outside the city. If it is sealed, it is easy to be broken by them one by one."

The generals shouted at one another, obviously disapproving of Zheng Tao's idea.

"Then what do you think we should do? If we let them blow open the city gate, how can we defend?"

"That can't seal the city gate. What if, what happens?"

A general retorted.

The implication is that if they really can't hold it and seal the city gate, what should they do if they don't even have a way to escape?
As soon as this remark came out, Zheng Tao shut up.

yes.He only thought about how to guard the city gate, and didn't think about leaving a way out for himself and others.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Pan Wu, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"I think everyone's thinking is wrong. Our strength is more than four times that of theirs. We can't just think about how to defend. Their firearms are already sharp. If we defend, wouldn't we be a target for them? In my opinion See, we must take the initiative to attack and crush them with superior forces, even if we lose a few men, we must completely defeat them!"

As the commander-in-chief of this battle to defend the rising dragon, Pan Wu's words have received enough attention from everyone.

Everyone fell into a thoughtful silence.

"I agree with Pan Wu's point of view. It is better to take the initiative to attack than to think about how to defend. If we defeat them outside the city, we no longer need to think about how to defend the city!"

Zheng Kai, who was scolded for a long time without daring to speak, was the first to support Pan Wu's idea.

"I agree too!"

Zheng Jiu also spoke out in support.

But more people still turned their attention to Zheng Bing, who was the leader, waiting for the boss to speak.

Zheng Bing was lost in thought.

Right now, the Ming army is coming aggressively. Although there are not many soldiers and horses, they must have come prepared.If this battle fails, the efforts of several generations of the Zheng family may be ruined in their own hands.He couldn't help but be careless.

After a long time, Zheng Bing spoke.

"Just do what Pan Wu said. But the city gates still have to be blocked, but we can't bet all of them. Block the east, west, and south gates, leaving only the north gate."

He felt that the Ming army had a total of [-] people. Even if they could attack the city, they would definitely concentrate their superior forces to attack a city gate.Leaving a door can be regarded as leaving a way out for yourself.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zheng Bing had spoken, everyone responded one after another.

That's how things settled.

Then they discussed the number of troops to send and the generals. After the discussion, they all dispersed and got busy.

At this time, there were 7 soldiers in Shenglong City, and more than [-] soldiers outside the city. They were scattered and guarded against the wall, and they were positioned in the four directions of Shenglong.

Half an hour later, Pan Wu went out.

Soldiers from the other three directions began to gather towards the south gate.

He intends to concentrate his forces and do a battle with the Ming army outside the city, and plans to dispatch [-] troops.

It is twice as big as the Ming army.

About three quarters of an hour later, Pan Wu gave an order, and [-] soldiers, led by their respective generals, marched in the direction of the Ming army.

Naturally, they couldn't hide their movements from Xu Zhi'an outside the city.

After knowing the exact number of attacks by the opponent, Xu Zhi'an picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Attention all units, answer received!"

Then, the voices of the generals under his command came from the intercom.

"The enemy is noisy and we rushed over. The number of people is about [-], arranged according to the formation of three."

"Roger that!"

Xu Zhi'an gave an order, and all the soldiers moved quickly.

Every soldier appeared at their respective positions as quickly as possible, making preparations for the battle.

This was the first time Zheng Zhilong had seen the fighting demeanor of soldiers in the Beijing camp. This so-called Ming Dynasty's most elite army gave him a bright feeling.

The entire formation changed very quickly, and he did not see panic or fear of war from any soldier.

"What am I doing?"

Zheng Zhilong stared blankly at Xu Zhi'an.
