Wen Rensheng directly ordered that the thirty-six people who were stranded be beheaded on the spot.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For the 28 returning raiders, the rewards range from 200 to 500 taels of silver depending on the degree of damage to the ship.

In one fell swoop, tens of thousands of taels of silver came out.

As for their seizures, all of them should be distributed among themselves.

One hand was ruthless and the other was rewarding, which immediately made everyone excited and at the same time silent.

This is the only way to deal with the army, this behemoth, this killing machine.

The feudal troops simply don't want to play with tenderness. If you are tender, they will flee before danger on the battlefield, and they won't die anyway.

Why were the Donglu able to defeat the Ming Dynasty many times?

To a large extent, military discipline was strict, those who retreated were beheaded, and those who fled when encountering the enemy were beheaded.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that they can get heavy rewards through robbery.

If there is only military discipline and no heavy rewards, then a riot is waiting to happen, just like Kong Youde's Wuqiao Mutiny.

】

Others also have their own rewards.

Anyway, everyone was happy.

"We burned and blew up five of their large ships, and only one survived by relying on the fort and could no longer capsize. We can then besieged with peace of mind." Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"That's right, we still have more than 10,000 people, and there are at most 500 soldiers on the opposite side. They are definitely no match for us."

At dawn, after the enemy lost the mobile artillery fire of Galen's ship, they chose to land far away from the fortress artillery.

It's about 7 miles away.

Then the siege began.

There were 3,000 people who came ashore for the first time.

Approach the opponent's fortress from both directions.

But this approach has given rise to new problems.

The enemy relied on the firing of red cannons and the firing of muskets on the fortress, making it difficult for the soldiers to get close.

After being beaten for a few rounds, he collapsed.

Wen Rensheng shook his head.

"Damn it, he was so brave at sea, but he turned into a weak shrimp once he got to the shore?" Yu Datao said angrily.

He was about to order the beheading of the defeated soldiers.

Wen Rensheng stopped him.

"You can't blame them. This is different from before. We have already said it before. This time, they can only be beaten passively. They have to walk from 4 miles away to within 200 steps before they can launch an attack. At such a long distance, the opponent's cannon

To be able to play more than ten rounds is simply unbearable."

"Then what should we do?"

Wen Rensheng shook his head and said: "We can only dig trenches to block their external charge."

"Then we can surround the fortress from all sides and carry out a long siege."

"The other side's supplies are limited. Their island is too small and they don't have enough food at all. It will only take three or four months at most before they surrender."

Everyone nodded.

The opponent has red cannons, musket defense, and a fortress, which makes it really difficult to break through.

Not to mention their Ming army, even with the peak combat power of this era, it would be difficult for the Manchu Qing armored men to break this kind of fortress.

Because the loss is too great.

Those soldiers still had a good idea of ​​whether they would win the battle. If they couldn't forcefully charge through, they would of course be routed.

In fact, to defeat this kind of fortress, Wen Rensheng knew a certain tactic.

That is to use different trench digging techniques, use zigzag trenches, and spend a lot of time, more than 6 months, digging the trenches all the way to the bottom of the opponent's city wall.

Make the opponent's cannon useless and enter the blind spot where the cannon fires.

It's easier to get into the blind spot of the cannon. Send troops through the trenches to shoot at the city, using more soldiers to consume the other side.

It's just that obviously he can't talk about this tactic.

This was already the trench tactic used against forts and cannons in the 18th century.

But now they are using long-term blockade as the best method.

simplest.

Soon the red-haired men inside tried to break out again.

They wanted to use the only large ship to evacuate the old, weak, women and children and reduce the loss of food and water.

The breakout was naturally a failure.

The only large ships were also captured.

This time they didn't burn it.

The sailors above surrendered.

Because they also saw that there was no way to win this time.

The other side has too many people, too many ships, and too many supplies.

One after another, grain ships and ships came from the land.

However, the people in the fortress still did not give up.

They also chose to attack in the middle of the night, hoping to defeat the Ming army with a night attack.

In short, you have to show your strength. In this case, there will be a good result during the negotiation.

It's just that Wen Rensheng had already planned to dig a deep trench, and then used the dug soil to build a high fortress.

This kind of siege tactic was also practiced by the Manchu and Qing dynasties.

So it's not advanced at all.

During the enemy's night attack, he fell directly into the trench and was stoned to death by the defenders on the mound in front of him, injuring many of them.

12,000 people can be stationed on a rotating basis.

This is the advantage of having more people.

You can rely on manpower to offset the opponent's military advantage.

Moreover, they also used a large number of their own firearms to attack the incoming red-haired men.

As a result, the red-haired men not only failed to succeed in the raid, but also lost dozens of people.

This greatly reduced their defensive success rate.

The three Galenic ships that escaped tried to break in to deliver supplies.

Then they were besieged by the Clippers again.

They found out in time that they couldn't do it, and chose to escape again. Because the sail was full and in a hurry, the hit rate was too poor, and they only damaged a clipper ship in the middle.

Moreover, I heard that they had a lot of baggage ships, and they had plenty of planks and nails with them.

Damaged Clippers are also being repaired quickly these days.

This is the advantage of the 17th century. If the keel and important parts of the wooden ship were not damaged, other parts of the ship could be repaired with wooden planks.

Just bring a few carpenters with you.

It would be absolutely impossible to replace this with an armored warship.

The maintenance personnel on board the ship can only use parts to repair some minor problems.

Damage suffered during battle often requires only some emergency repairs and thorough repairs at the shipyard before fighting again.

The last fleet purchased by the Qing Dynasty did not have the ability to repair itself, so it was unable to attack again after one sortie.

The reason is that you can only fight once.

Industrialization cannot be bought, it is a holistic system.

Only two months have passed.

The red-haired man made a request for negotiation.

They can no longer bear it.

The losses this time were much greater than those in their history.

So they quickly chose to compromise.

After all, they are still businessmen at heart, they are colonists under the corporate system, and trade profits are the most important thing.
