Chapter 917: 7 days under the city's desire to fight Xiongcheng

?Mr. David introduced his deployment, oh, oh, it turned out not to be counted today. Starting tomorrow, I will prepare for three days first, and then formally attack the city. At this time, the timer will start, and the city will go down for seven days.

There are two mouthfuls of official characters, everyone muttered in their hearts that the red hair fan should be enough to go to the countryside and follow the customs. If you really come down to the city, the "seven heavens under the city" written in black and white is absolutely written in the military history!

"We have a certain degree of difficulty in capturing this city!" Mr. David said that it was difficult, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to be calm and gentle, and he didn't seem to put the other side's strong city in his eyes at all!

"The three armies are on together and suppress the defenders at the front of the city with the most fierce artillery fire!" Mr. David pointed out: "The artillery fired, bombarded the city wall, aimed the rifle, killing the enemy's vital force, and using bombs to confuse the enemy's defense."

He asked Officer Hong Xi to command the fleet bombardment of the Colombo Fortress, the Marine Corps Yan Le was responsible for attacking the southern city wall, and the Army Zhang Shouyun was responsible for attacking the eastern city wall.

"Please, everyone! I broke the city in seven days. If I win, I will have everything. If I lose, I will step down. You will be punished!" Mr. David arched his hands.

Damn it!

The officers screamed in their hearts. If you want others to show their power, don't drag us down. You will break the city in seven days? !

Limited time, break it if you say it, how can you say that?

However, they also admire Mr. David. Everyone knows that Mr. David has never competed or snatched. The private hobby of compiling history books and studying Chinese studies, if he steps down, may not be allowed to like him more.

In the past, some people vilified him saying that he was retreating for advancement and not fighting for fighting, but when everyone learned about his family background (his father Thomas Wentworth Stratford was the favorite of King Charles I of England). Minister, he is equivalent to a princeling), after he has experienced his superhuman, first-class Chinese learning level and humble personality, they all think that he is Guo Ziyi, Cao Bin and the like, all of whom have outstanding merits and have no major demerits in his life.

No one dared to oppose this. When talking about political consciousness, official Hong Xi said: "Our navy will bombard the fortress of Colombo with the fiercest artillery fire!"

Yes, warships cannot go ashore.

So saying it is equivalent to putting P.

The officers of the Army and the Marine Corps stated one by one: "Resolutely complete the mission!"

After speaking, all of them looked serious, there was no joking in the army, and they had to be executed if they said it. It was useless to make excuses.

"Go and fight well, we will definitely be able to break the city in seven days!" Mr. David vowed to say.

"Definitely, definitely!" Everyone agreed, but it was doubtful how many certainties there were.

When they left, Yan Le and Zhang Shouyun walked together. Yan Le shook his head and said, "It's really choking to break the city in seven days!"

Zhang Shouyun said calmly: "Mr. David is not that kind of impulsive person. He must have his ideas. What we have to do is to fight the war."

"It makes sense!" Yan Le agreed, because Mr. David is the kind of person who decides and then moves. He shouldn't be very impulsive. He must have his reasons for doing this.

However, at dusk that day, when Yan Le saw the Colombo fortress, he secretly cursed!

He knew it was not good at a glance, this is a heroic city!

The Portuguese came to Colombo very early and worked hard. The city is towering, the walls are wide, full of soldiers and guns, looking at it from a distance, like a giant beast entrenched by the sea, the momentum is amazing!

People can see a lot of things when they look at the city, and when they see the city of Colombo, they know that it is not easy to provoke, I will copy!

Observing the city, he was in charge of the south. In the past, there were large lakes and marshes to protect the south wall, but it has long since disappeared. There are houses everywhere, such as thatched houses, stone houses, and brick houses, many of which are Chinese buildings.

Aha, where there are people, there are Chinese. If this is too much, there are people in Asia where there are people. This is such a good place in Colombo. Naturally, it is not rare for Chinese to do business here. They succeeded in doing business and built big houses to live in.

The Chinese evacuated their overseas Chinese during this war, but the houses were left behind, and Hong Maofan did not dare to do nothing.

Before the arrival of the Southeast Army, Hong Maofan demolished the houses close to the city, and when the Chinese arrived, they demolished the houses farther from the city to prepare for the battlefield.

The Chinese have always been a hard-working race. Doesn't it mean that we will prepare for three days from the beginning of the day, and then break the city in seven days?

Doesn't it count today?

NO! Start working now, dig trenches and walls, clean up the perimeter, build barracks, work meticulously, and the military and civilians work together.

The above claims to break the city in seven days, but there is no less work to be done. The more prepared you are, the more likely you are to win.

Some people are preparing torches and headlights, and some are shooting arrows from the watchtower. It is a must to light up the night battle.

On the southern wall of the city of Colombo, the brothers of the army and the civilian husbands are also doing the same work, and everyone is working hard.

They landed at a wharf near the south of the city. The wharf was well built, bluestone paved, sturdy and durable, and there were many warehouses and warehouses. The Chinese lighting beacon was contracted by the Chinese boss.

I used to pay a lot of money, I'm afraid it will not be easy to return to it.

But now it seems that the Chinese boss should have gotten a loan from the Intelligence Bureau!

Although Hong Maofan destroyed the lighthouse, there was no damage to other places. The Chinese are repairing them. They are putting up shelves and preparing to use cement to rebuild the lighthouse, which will soon be able to be put into use.

On this pier, the Marine Corps and Army troops are continuously landing, one after another transport boats are docked, the migrant workers panting and walking on the springboard, quickly transporting supplies ashore, the crane on the pier is Assemble and prepare to use them to lift bulky goods.

People on the pier shouted donkeys, dogs barked, and howling pigs and chickens made it very lively.

The young soldiers chewed on toffee, they seemed carefree.

These are recruits who have not experienced the cruelty of war yet, but having said that, the army did its best to reduce casualties.

Eating helps to relieve tension~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Therefore, the rich Southeast Army enthusiastically distributed snacks to the soldiers, such as toffee, dried meat, candied fruit, biscuits, etc. The officers and soldiers continued to eat when they were free.

The Southeast Army used a large number of donkeys to help transport the goods. The dogs were all Chinese garden dogs for warning. The pigs and chickens were collected by coastal cities and prepared to eat.

The noise is so loud, like a huge honeycomb, even spread to the city of Colombo, so that the observing Governor Rogerio discussed with his commander Romario: “The Chinese are so presumptuous, don’t put us in In my eyes, we organize the troops to kill them and destroy their prestige!"

Romario shook his head and said: "No, they look messy outside, but their musketeers and artillery are ready, we can't fight!"

He is right. Whether it is Yan Le or Zhang Shouyun, they absolutely dare not take it lightly. They have prepared a large number of musketeers waiting to compete with Hong Mao!

Boom booming, the naval guns fired at Colombo, opening the curtain of a ten-day siege!
