"Is the city wall just broken?"

Not far away, looking at the collapsed city wall, Sonod felt a chill of coldness in his hands.

Faced with the attack of tens of thousands of Ming troops, the city of Relanzha, which only has more than 2,000 people, is impossible to stop, which Sonod had understood long ago.

But in Sonod's view, this city wall was built by him personally. Although it is not as strong as the defense lines behind it, no matter how unbearable it is, it should not be a problem to stay for ten days and half a month or even one. How could it fall in less than one day?

At this moment, he felt that he could only hear any sounds besides the sound of cannons, screams and explosions. He woke up from the sluggishness after his arm was shaken violently.

When he came to his senses, he saw Encos holding his arm anxiously and shouting loudly, "Governor, Governor, we should leave, it will be too late if we don't leave!"

"Walk?"

"Yes... hurry up and retreat to the second line of defense and reorganize the defense there!"

After saying that, Encos waved his hand without waiting for Sonod to answer, "Hurry up... take the Governor away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards quickly stepped forward and carried him toward the back...

Just as Encos and several guards carried Sonod down the city wall and ran towards the second line of defense, countless Jiangning soldiers carrying the brown besieged muskets with bayonets rushed up the city wall along the collapsed city wall. For a moment, gunfire, shouts of killing and screams sounded into a ball.

"kill……"

A Jiangning army soldier who was the first to rush up the city wall roared, and the musket in his hand stabbed at a strong Dutch soldier who had just gotten up from the ruins like lightning.

A bayonet with a cold light pierced into the Dutch soldier's chest like lightning. The Dutch soldier roared in pain.

He threw away the musket in his hand, grabbed the barrel of the chest with both hands, and tried hard to rush the bayonet out of his chest.

It’s a pity that he is strong and feels that his usual proud strength is quickly leaving his body. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot pull out the bayonet that has penetrated his chest deeply.

Finally, blood flowed out of his mouth and nose, his knees softened, and he knelt heavily on the ground, glaring at the Ming Dynasty soldier in front of him, slowly closing his eyes unwillingly.

"Roar over...kill these red-haired ghosts!"

Facing the Ming army that rushed into the castle like a tide, the Dutch, who knew that the situation was hopeless to resist, retreated towards the second line of defense. Soon, the Half Moon Fort, which was the first line of defense, fell into the hands of the Ming army. The sun and moon flag representing the Ming Dynasty also fluttered over the castle, and countless soldiers cheered and thrilled on the city wall.

As the chief officer of the first battalion who was the main attack today, Geng Bingyi was the most popular one today. Since taking down the castle, Geng Bingyi's smile never stopped, and the other guerrilla generals were envious and unwilling to accept it.

Chu Maoguang immediately found Yang Feng: "Mr. Marquis, the first battalion of Lao Geng has been in the limelight. It's the turn of the second battalion of Beizhi to take action next, right?"

Yang Feng smiled: "Why, do your second battalion also want to be the main attacker tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Chu Maoguang was anxious: "Mr. Marquis, you can't favor one or the other. Which of our second battalions is worse than the first battalion? It's not worse than their combat effectiveness or military discipline. Why can't the second battalion be the main attack?"

"You can do it."

Gou Xingma, who was beside him, said coldly: "Your Second Battalion is a group of barbarian bulls who can only charge. If the Marquis asks you to go to the Second Battalion today, if you don't die, I will write my surname upside down."

Chu Maoguang glared: "Hey... Look at my bad temper, my surname is Gou. Have you not been moving for a long time and want to go out with me to practice?"

"Come on, I'm afraid you won't?"

As the two of them rolled up their sleeves, looking like they were about to take action. In the end, Geng Bingyi couldn't stand it and cursed with a stern face: "You are enough, the Marquis is still here, don't make the Marquis angry, you will suffer."

Hearing Geng Bingyi say this, Chu Maoguang and Gou Xingma looked at each other and then he stopped talking in disappointment, but the unwilling expression still appeared on his face.

Finally, everyone's eyes looked at Yang Feng, who was sitting on the head.

As the Jiangning Army became stronger, Yang Feng's prestige also increased day by day. In the past two years, Geng Bingyi and Chu Maoguang and other officers who came out of the Jiangdong Gate joked with him from time to time. However, with Yang Feng's majesty becoming more and more powerful in recent years, they no longer dared to joke in front of Yang Feng.

Yang Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "After these days of investigation, the Japanese Marquis has drawn out the terrain of the city of Relanzha. Please see it!"

After saying that, Yang Feng stood up and walked to the wall and pulled open a dark green curtain, revealing a huge map of Renlan City.

The generals came forward one after another and came over. This was a very exquisite and detailed map. The facilities on it were marked in detail, whether it was the Chief Office, the church, the lookout, the soldier barracks and other facilities.

Yang Feng pointed to the map and said, "Please look, Relanzha City is a narrow rectangle, with mountains on both sides being wrapped in easy defense and difficult to attack, and behind it is backed by mountains. If you want to take it down, you can only attack from the front.

The Dutch must have thought of this when they were built, so they arranged three lines of defense on the front, which were more difficult to attack. Their walls were made of red bricks, made of sugar water, glutinous rice, oyster shell ash, sand and sticky. They were extremely strong and difficult to destroy even with cannon fire."

Hearing this, Chu Maoguang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Marquis, it's no big deal to look at the Red-haired Japanese city walls. Didn't we collapsed a section of them with cannons today?"

"You were wrong!"

Yang Feng said with a serious expression: "We just interrogated a prisoner. According to the captain's instructions, the line of defense we took today was actually reduced. This city wall was built by the Red-haired Japanese in a hurry to speed up the construction period. Its strength cannot be compared with the two defense lines behind it. So it may not be so easy for us to use artillery to collapse the city wall tomorrow."

"There is still this?"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, but Chu Maoguang said indifferently: "But even so, I still think that as the saying goes, long-term defense will lead to failure. There is no city wall in this world that cannot be broken. If we can't break a day, we will hit two or three days. No matter how strong the city wall is, it can be collapsed."

"Well, Lao Chu's words make sense." The generals nodded. After years of influence, the officers and Taoists of the Jiangning Army had long believed in the firearms in their hands. In their opinion, there was no city wall in this world that could not be broken by artillery. If there was any, it was because the bombardment time was not long enough.

"Report..."

A voice sounded outside.

Then a guard walked in and shouted: "Qi Zhu, a man from the capital has come and said he is coming to read the imperial edict."

Soon, an eunuch in his forties came in.

"It's you!" It seemed that Yang Feng couldn't help but shout in surprise.
