"The firearms in the past were not so sharp, so why couldn't theirs be shot down?"

No one was willing to attack forward, and the court became increasingly irritable.

Even an absolutely superior force cannot defeat the enemy.

They thought about digging a tunnel, but it was useless. This is a river bank, and water will appear after digging three meters.

Just when Prince Teng was in trouble, Jia Baoyu replied to him after receiving the letter home from him.

He told Wang Ziteng about a zigzag trench digging method.

That is to say, first dig a trench in the distance, and then keep approaching the city wall in a zigzag pattern.

After discussing with his staff, Wang Ziteng decided to use this method of warfare.

Use trenches to protect soldiers and engage the enemy at close range.

Of course, the opponent is condescending and has an advantage when approaching and shooting.

So movable wooden boards and thick floating soil were laid on the trench.

This was used in later generations to protect against artillery.

It can defend against howitzers, let alone cannons and muskets at this time.

Sure enough, the enemy's artillery, artillery and muskets could not hit the soldiers digging trenches.

In this way they gradually approached, all the way to the bottom of the city wall.

The enemy tried to hit him with stones, but it was ineffective.

There is a lot of wood nearby.

Wang Ziteng has enough offensive materials.

After arriving under the city wall, I was finally able to dodge the enemy's cannons and exchange fire with the enemy.

And once you engage in a shooting exchange with the enemy, the opponent is doomed.

The opponent's firearms are powerful, including flintlock guns.

But they also have muskets, and their bows and arrows are not bad either.

The key is that he has enough manpower, but if the other party dies, one of them will be missing. He can keep bringing people here.

The reason why I couldn't rush up before was because the opponent had cannons, which could destroy his siege tools such as building trucks.

Without siege tools, soldiers are exposed to the enemy's shooting range, and their morale will quickly decrease.

Not many soldiers are willing to do this and stand up to attack the city.

Now you can rush up by adding wooden planks to the ditch.

If he wanted to force the attack, everyone below might mutiny.

With the help of Jia Baoyu's tactics, the opponent's strength was reduced from more than 1,500 to more than 200.

At this time, the other side finally sent someone out to ask for surrender.

They persisted for five whole months, but they really couldn't hold on.

However, it seems like a failure, which also proves their success.

It's just that they have fewer people and have temporarily given up their ambition to continue colonizing here.

Because these 1,500 people are all gathered in a large area nearby.

As for Wang Ziteng's more than 10,000 people, as long as he still has money and food, he can summon several more 10,000 people.

After Wang Ziteng's victory, he prepared to return to the court and sent people 800 miles in advance to rush back the news of the victory.

The saint was overjoyed, and at that time the prince was granted the title of Marquis of Dingbei, and he was promoted to the cabinet as a bachelor.

But the Jia family was not very happy.

Because they didn't get any benefit from it.

Jia's mother didn't say much, but she didn't send anyone to congratulate her. She just mentioned that after Prince Teng came back, she would let Jia Baoyu go to visit his uncle alone.

It is inconvenient for other women to go out.

Then the imperial court issued an edict to inform the world and to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple.

Everyone in the capital was rejoicing.

Only Zhao Han shook his head.

This means that Western military technology has surpassed that of the East.

That's why they were shocked.

…

It is said that on his way back to Beijing, Wang Ziteng received an imperial edict and was awarded the title of Bachelor of the Cabinet.

"The emperor attaches great importance to the prince, and I hope that the prince can meet you as soon as possible," the eunuch said.

"It's easy to say, I can hurry up and go to see the saint in advance." Although Wang Ziteng was tired from the long battle, he braced himself for the emperor's favor.

Then he left the army behind and hurried on in a carriage with the great eunuch.

There was also an imperial physician beside the great eunuch. It was said that the emperor valued the general's health, so he sent the imperial physician to diagnose and treat him along the way.

When we were only two hundred miles away from the capital, it rained heavily.

Overjoyed, Wang Ziteng traveled all night again. He was tired and suffered from the rain in the carriage.

As a last resort, I contracted the cold in a place called Shilitun that day.

So I could only stay nearby for the time being and wait until I was cured before going to see the saint.

There are no famous doctors nearby, but fortunately there is an imperial doctor in the car.

After a thorough diagnosis and treatment, the imperial doctor set up a house and asked people to get medicine.

That night, in a residence somewhere.

Under the dim light of candles.

A close guard whispered: "Commander, someone from the Jia family is here."

Wang Ziteng said quickly: "Quick, let people come in."

Two people walked into the house one after another.

The old man is in front and the young man is behind.

Young man carrying medicine box.

"This is a special wind-cold medicine from our Rong Pharmaceutical Company. It's called aspirin. It can treat the prince's wind-cold." The old man came in to make a diagnosis and took out a bottle of medicine.

Wang Ziteng was on the sickbed and said happily: "Are you sent by Baoyu?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, give me this medicine quickly."

However, the imperial doctor next to him said: "This is a strange medicine used by Westerners and should not be relied on. It is better to use the old prescription that we have used for more than two thousand years."

"This medicine can cure wind and cold, and there are countless people alive." The old man asked doubtfully, "Why do we need to divide things?"

"Our two thousand years old prescription has helped us pass it on to this day, which shows its effect." The imperial doctor insisted.

Wang Ziteng said angrily: "I don't care about you east or west, I only believe in Baoyu."

The imperial doctor immediately looked grim and walked out of the house.

The old man wondered: "This man is just an imperial doctor, how dare he be rude in front of the prince?"

Wang Ziteng was silent and just asked him to get the medicine quickly.

Then he took aspirin.

My headache disappeared and I slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, Wang Ziteng felt light-headed and light-sighted, his headaches were relieved, and his fever was gone. He had the strength to get out of bed and was able to take a few more mouthfuls in the morning.

When the imperial doctor saw this, he had nothing to say.

He looked ashamed and then left.

Wang Ziteng, a shrewd man, felt his heart sink.

Then the young man saw that no one was there, so he took out a letter and handed it to him.

Wang Ziteng opened it and took a look.

There is no word in the letter.

There were only some animal hairs, feathers, and a bow and arrow used by children to catch Zhou Zhou.

White and yellow.

White rabbit and yellow dog.
