Outside Rongcheng is a plain, and next to it is the ocean.
Now that the coastal defense line has been occupied by the Japanese people, Xu Huizu must defeat the Rongcheng army from land in order for the navy to enter Rongcheng territory safely.
Rongcheng borrowed its special geographical location, it built the port in the city, the west gate of the city is the sea gate, open the door, warships and merchant ships can enter and exit Rongcheng, so now the Rongcheng army occupies a great advantage, but the Ming army is never afraid of challenges.
Xu Huizu chose a small hill ten miles away from Rongcheng as a stronghold, because beyond them was a forest and a plain.
This is a standard coastal city, and fortunately, Xu Huizu has combat experience in this area.
After setting up camp, it is necessary to think about the follow-up actions, this time the Japanese entered Rongcheng and carried out a brutal massacre, even if they were not killed, they were all forbidden to leave the city, and all the former Rongcheng officials had been killed.
Xu Huizu took off the telescope from the Western Ocean, he frowned and said, "Now that the gate of Rongcheng is closed, relying only on the sea gate to transport supplies, we have no chance to attack the city, and their warships at sea are all ready to continue, and we are easy to be attacked if we venture into the sea area of Rongcheng." ” "So what to do."
Park Fulin squinted at Rongcheng, who only had a little bit in his eyes, "Although it will be more beneficial for us to drag it out, in the long run, the economy of those occupied areas will not be easily recovered." ” "But there's something we can take advantage of."
Xu Huizu said, "Although it is rumored that the soldiers of the Japanese state have slaughtered the people of Rongcheng, they want to carry out the basic operation of the entire city, and they can't do it with only tens of thousands of soldiers, so they must have left at least half of the people of Rongcheng, they are all people who have witnessed the slaughter of relatives and friends in front of them, and at an important juncture, they will definitely help us. ” "But the question is, how do we get together with the outside?"
Park Fulin sighed, "General Xu, when we attack the city, the people of Rongcheng will not immediately help us act. ” "Indeed, so we have to find a way."
Xu Huizu touched his chin, "To be able to pass on this news to the people in Rongcheng, you have to pass it on as much as possible." ” "General, the little brother of his life asks to see him."
The deputy general came to the small hill and said to Xu Huizu.
Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, and he said, "Please come over."
He didn't know why he wanted to see him.
Zhu Yunwen walked up, he hugged his fists and said, "General!
” Xu Huizu put down his inner thoughts, and he asked with a smile, "Little brother, is there something wrong?"
” Zhu Yunwen smiled, "General, I saw you this time to help you solve your doubts." ” "Puzzled?"
Xu Huizu raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what is my confusion, and how can you help me solve it?"
” "Let me guess, General Xu must be very distressed about how to attack Rongcheng now."
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile, "Then, you will definitely want to mobilize the power of the people in the city, but you can't pass the news to the people in the city." ” Xu Huizu was taken aback, and he said in surprise, "How do you know?"
"Xu Huizu, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, has long had the ability to be invisible, but how can he not be surprised that a young man under twenty can say what he thinks.
"Because that's by far the most effective way to do it."
Zhu Yunwen said lightly, "I believe that this method is not only me and General Xu, but also the generals of the Japanese Kingdom in Rongcheng are also very clear, so they will close the city gate." ” Xu Huizu nodded, "Little brother is right, this is indeed a good way, but the difficulty of implementing it is probably more difficult than a strong attack...
Could it be that the little brother has any good way?
” "You can give it a try."
Zhu Yunwen said, "We can't send people into the city to inform the news, so has General Xu thought about it, we can let the people of Rongcheng know the news themselves." ” Xu Huizu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know?"
” "Yes."
Zhu Yunwen said, "We used a red pen to write a bloody book, on which were written the crimes of the Japanese people, and finally called on the people of Rongcheng to help us when we attacked the city, and that was enough." ” Xu Huizu and Park Fulin glanced at each other, he smiled and shook his head, "Little brother, have you thought about it, how should we hand over the blood book to the people in the city?"
” Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "General Xu listened to me, first of all, the whole army went forward five miles, went to the plains to set up a camp, backed by the woods to prevent the enemy from surrounding, and finally threw a blood book into the city an hour before the attack, the blood book covered the whole city, the residents of Rongcheng got the news, and the guards of the Japanese people would also be chaotic, and then we could get the greatest reward with the least cost." ” "Throwing a blood book?"
Xu Huizu asked, "What do you throw it with?"
” Zhu Yunwen took out a wooden stick-shaped object that had been prepared in advance, and this wooden stick-shaped thing had a hole in the front and a lead in the back.
Zhu Yunwen said, "This is a tool made by a carpenter in our hometown, although it is small, but the letter is wrapped in gravel, and then the fuse is ignited, and the letter wrapped in gravel will fly straight into the city, in the air, because of the force, the gravel bursts, and the letter will float to the ground, so the impact will be greater, and this device is very easy to make, you can make one in three days, and if you rush to make it, it can be completed in ten days." ” Xu Huizu said in disbelief, "Can you really fly that high?"
” Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly, "Practice is better than words, general, please see."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen pointed the wooden stick to the sky, then took out the flint and flint and ignited it, only to hear a loud sound, the sand and gravel flew into the sky, exploded at a very high place, and a letter fell with the wind.
Zhu Yunwen said, "The subtlety of this design is that the letters in the sand do not burn due to the explosion of the gravel, on the contrary, the sand protects the letters well. ” "Wonderful, wonderful."
Xu Huizu exclaimed, "Little brother, you can stand up every time we need you, what is the name of this thing?"
” Zhu Yunwen didn't show a happy expression, he said, "It's called a cupola." ” "What a cupola."
Xu Huizu took the cupola cannon in Zhu Yunwen's hand, and then handed it to Park Fulin and said, "Hurry up and send someone back to Songcheng, hurry up and finish the work, I want a thousand!"
Ten days, no, five days I'll do it!
” "Okay, General!"
Park Fulin took the cupola cannon and walked towards the barracks.
This cupola is a toy sent by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to celebrate the birthdays of the two little princesses, Zhu Yunwen thought it was interesting, so he asked how to make this cupola, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now, because it was a congratulatory gift, so it was not circulated in the barracks.
