Fort Chicken Coop is also known as San Salvado, Spain is the backbone of the Catholic sect, and most of the colonial castles and warships start with the Holy Something.Spain established a colony in 1626 in the chicken coop area, and the construction of the chicken coop fort began decades ago as a fortress near the sea.After Franco returned to the chicken coop fort in a hurry, he immediately sent a letter to the governor of Manila and the governor of Mexico to ask for help, and then put the Spanish soldiers near the chicken coop into the fort to wait for help.When the Spaniards set up defenses, the Ming army and horse army first went to the city to block the land, and then Zhao Ming ordered Li Zhongming to lead 1,000 people to reinforce Zhang Zhongjian and exterminate the big-bellied natives after clearing the battlefield.At the end of October, the Ming army marched along the coast, and on the afternoon of the 28th, they arrived at the foot of the chicken coop fort and joined the cavalry that had arrived first.At this time, 20,000 Ming troops were outside the range of the castle's artillery, and camp, and Franco was paying close attention to the movements of the Ming army outside the city.He saw the barracks stretching outside the castle, the heads of the people moving, gritting his teeth and making a heart.The fortress is so easy to attack, even if there are many Chinese, they don't want to take the fortress easily.Outside the castle, in the camp of the Ming army, Zhao Ming rode out, accompanied by a group of cavalry, and went to peep at the city defense of Jilong Fort.Zhao Ming was wearing armor, a war knife on his waist, a six-petal iron helmet on his head, and a red cloak behind him, leading dozens of horsemen to leave the camp temporarily, and ran to the chicken coop fort about three miles away, overlooking the Spanish fortress.The fortress is not large, but its appearance is completely different from that of the Central Plains Sifang City, with many edges and corners protruding from the city walls and multiple walls.All the soldiers couldn't help but take a breath when they saw it, and Ding Weiyue said: "Governor, why is this city so familiar?"
”"It's similar to our Jintang Fort, I suffered a big loss here last time, and the 20,000 troops didn't take it down."
Wang Dana cheeks agitated.Luo Wenyao, who didn't come first, had already checked the terrain and acted as an explanation: "Dudu, this fort is built by the sea, built by stones, and it is very strong, and there are three city walls, each city wall is gradually raised, which means that even if the soldiers climb the first city wall, they will face the condescending shooting of Xiyi on the second city, and it is difficult to gain a firm foothold in the city.In addition, this castle is built near the sea, and the enemy in the fort continuously obtains resources from the sea. ”The western fortress is indeed more difficult to break, and Salzburg in Austria claims to have not been captured for a thousand years, of course, this is related to the defenders' knowledge of current affairs, in the face of a strong enemy, the defenders usually surrender directly after weighing.When the situation is evenly matched, or one side does not have an absolute advantage, it is indeed very difficult to break through a fortress.Zhao Ming glanced at the fortress from a distance, and said in a deep voice: "Go and see elsewhere!"
”There is a cloud in the art of war, "go up to the army to plan, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city." ”Now Zhao Ming has started a war with the Spaniards, but he still needs to avoid siege battles as much as possible.After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he pulled the reins of his horse and galloped out, and after a while, he arrived at a hill near the chicken coop harbor.At this time, Zhao Minglema stood on the top of the hill and observed the chicken coop fort towering over the sea in the distance, and more than a dozen Spanish galleons moored in the harbor.The north side of the chicken coop fort was directly connected to the pier, and the Spanish navy was able to continuously bring reinforcements and supplies into the fort from the sea.This is a bit disgusting, just like the Ming Dynasty built Ningyuan City in western Liaoning, and the chicken coop harbor will not freeze, it can be opened to ships all year round, as long as the resources in the chicken coop fort are not exhausted, the Spaniards can even hold on for a few years.However, Zhao Ming observed for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face, saying to everyone: "This castle can be broken!"
All the generals looked at him in unison, and Zhao Ming pointed with a whip, "Jilong Fort faces the sea on one side and is open on three sides, but it is difficult to attack.However, this chicken coop harbor is surrounded by mountains, and the entrance to the port is narrow, so the governor only needs to occupy the entrance hill, build a fort, control the entrance to the port, and cut off the supply of the chicken coop fort, and it will not be long before this fort will fall!
”Wang Dana said: "The governor means to besiege this fort.However, according to the experience of the last time, Xiyi in the fortress is very capable of carrying it, and it will take half a year to besiege them until they surrender, and our food consumption must be a lot!
”Zhao Ming said: "Jilong Harbor is surrounded by mountains, but there are large plains on the east and west coasts of the port.When the fort blocks the entrance to the harbor and traps Xiyi in the bay, he can move a guard and come to this tuntian.The Spaniards are trapped in a lonely fortress, and they will inevitably not be able to consume us. ”When everyone heard this, they immediately clenched their fists, "The governor is wise!"
”Zhao Ming glanced at the harbor again, pulled the reins of his horse, and returned to the camp.It was night, on the chicken coop fort, several Spaniards patrolled along the city walls, and one suddenly stopped and turned his head to look out of the city."
What's going on?"
The leader of the Xiyi officer asked."
Your Excellency, there seems to be movement outside the city!"
The soldier said.The Xiyi officer looked out of the city suspiciously, but couldn't see anything, so he threw a few torches down, but didn't see anyone, so he chuckled: "I think you're too nervous, the Chinese are not so easy to get in." ”After saying that, the officer led the team to continue the patrol, and the soldier looked at the darkness in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and still followed the patrol forward.The next morning, as soon as the morning dawned, the Spaniards who were inspecting the city flocked to the edge of the city wall, and looked into the distance, and saw that on the originally flat wilderness outside the city, a lot of new earth had been turned out, and countless trenches had appeared.When Franco heard the news, he came to the city wall, his hands on the city wall and his eyes narrowed, he immediately understood that the Chinese did not plan to attack, but this was just right, he could just wait for reinforcements and supplies to arrive.At this time, Franco looked outside the city for a while, and was about to go down the city, but a Spanish officer hurriedly ran over, "Your Excellency, the Chinese occupy the hill at the entrance to the harbor, and it seems that they are preparing to build a battery!"
”Franco's face changed, but he was short of troops, and there was no way to do it, so he could only widen his eyes and say angrily: "Let the battleships shell and stop the Chinese!"
”In the camp of the Ming army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Ming sat in front of the handsome case, listening to the report of his subordinates.Wang Dana said: "Governor, a trench has been dug outside the castle to blockade, and soldiers and horses have been sent to garrison the hills around the port to prevent Xiyi from going ashore from the harbor. ”Zhao Ming asked, "How about the location of the harbor entrance fort?"
”Chen Yujie hugged his fists and said: "Governor Qiqi, the address has been chosen, just wait for the artillery to be in place." ”Zhao Ming nodded, but at this time, Ding Weiyue suddenly picked up the account and came in, "Governor, the Xia Supervisor Army is here!"
”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, wondering why Xia Wanchun came to the island?"
Please come in!"
Zhao Ming said in a deep voice, and then stood up again, "I'll greet you!"
”Zhao Ming walked outside the tent, Xia Wanchun came in a hurry, and when he saw Zhao Ming, he hurriedly said: "Governor, Fujian is afraid of great changes!"
