- "Sir, the natives have begun to attack!"
In the Governor's Mansion, the Governor of Virginia received the news he least expected to hear.
Damn indigenous bastards, can't you just wait a moment?
In fact, after Zhao Hongyu occupied that stronghold and controlled the transportation artery, he had always wanted to send troops to take it back.
But several consecutive failures let him know that these indigenous people are not easy to mess with.
So, the offensive stopped.
At the same time, he also transferred the team into the city of Yaksali and preserved it as a defensive force.
This gave Zhao Hongyu a chance to rest.
Although there is a large population in the city of Yaksali, not all of them are warriors.
Many of them are women and children, which makes up a large part of the population.
At the same time, some businessmen and timid guys cannot be counted.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the number of people in Yaksali City who can become warriors is only about 10,000.
This number does not seem low, but the Governor also faces a serious problem, that is, he does not have many weapons here.
Yes, the militiamen who originally had weapons have been transferred to attack the Mohicans.
And a large number of weapons in Yaksali City were also taken away by regular troops, so the weapons in Yaksali City are very scarce.
Although there are many of them, you can't fight the natives with your bare hands.
In order to resist the threat from indigenous people like Zhao Hongyu and others, the Governor even promised the captains of the three trading ships high rewards to ask for their help.
In this way, the city of Yaksali organized a team of two thousand people.
Zhao Hongyu and the others lined up and stopped at the west gate of Yaksali City. Zhao Hongyu ordered the artillery to fire.
"Fire ten times, and then decide the next step depending on the situation."
After giving such an order, Zhao Hongyu came back.
"My plan is this. Look at this street map of Yaksali." Zhao Hongyu squatted on the ground, picked up a branch in his hand and began to draw.
Through the prisoners¡¯ information and his observations on nearby hills, Zhao Hongyu already knew the situation in Yaksali City.
Wang Shan, Song Hu, and Lamour all gathered around and looked down at the topographic map of Yaksali City drawn by Zhao Hongyu.
"We are now on the west side of the city, and according to the information I have, all the gold coins in Yaksali City are concentrated in this place." He clicked on the east side of the figure, and then continued: "So we attacked the city After that, we must quickly concentrate all our efforts to get there. We can¡¯t waste much time, after all, we don¡¯t need to take away the gold, right?¡±
Wang Shan laughed and said, "The leader has a powerful weapon, so of course it saves a lot of trouble." Song Hu raised his hand and touched it, frowned and asked worriedly: "How do we evacuate? It is easy to say and very easy to break into the city. But how we withdraw from the city is not something we should not consider. "
Yes, it¡¯s easy to rush in. But it would be a bit difficult to withdraw after rushing in.
¡°If the British closed the door and beat the dogs, none of them would end well.
After all, the population in the city is there, and it cannot be suppressed by your shotgun.
Besides, even if the shotgun is powerful, it is also very troublesome to load, which is very time-consuming.
Clean the barrel, load gunpowder and lead bullets, and finally load gunpowder in the gunpowder pot. It just saves the step of installing the leads and improves the accuracy.
Therefore, the fighting situation in the city is not very optimistic.
As soon as Song Hu said this, Wang Shan and Lamour both said that this point needs to be carefully considered. But Zhao Hongyu looked confident, as if he was not worried at all, which made everyone a little curious.
"Chief, do you have any good suggestions? Don't be so secretive. Saying it will make us feel at ease, right?"
After Wang Shan saw Zhao Hongyu's indifferent expression, he asked.
"Hehe, of course I know what you are worried about, but I have already had a counter-point to this." After Zhao Hongyu smiled, he used the branch in his hand to draw a line on the picture on the ground, "There is a picture on the east side. At the port, there are three Galenic sailing ships parked there. That is the way for us to leave Yaksali, and we can also catch three ships."Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, the eyes of Wang Shan, Song Hu and Lamour all lit up.
Yes, if we can grab those three Galenic sailing ships, leaving Yaksali City will certainly not be a problem.
By heading north along the east coast, they could easily return to Manhattan Island.
Not to mention leaving the Virginia area at the same time, they can still have three more ships.
Many of the Somali gangsters in Lamour have learned how to operate the Galen ship. Although the genetic people who were bred later do not understand it, it is not a big problem to seize three ships.
¡°This is a good idea and very feasible,¡± Lamour said first.
Song Hu laughed evilly for a few times and said: "I guess the captains of these three ships are going to cry. I think there should be a lot of good things on these ships. This is an advantage for us."
Wang Shan remained silent, but the expression on his face was very happy.
It can be seen that everyone recognized Zhao Hongyu¡¯s method.
"I saw it on the top of the mountain in the morning. It seems that these ships have unloaded a lot of cargo. Since they are merchant ships, there must be a lot of gold coins on the ship. I absolutely like this stuff."
Zhao Hongyu stood up, clapped his hands and said with a smile.
While several people were discussing the plan, the six artillery pieces had already fired several rounds. Since the artillery crew had just come into contact with this kind of gun at the beginning, the hit rate was horribly low.
But after a few rounds of shooting and some adjustments, the temporary artillerymen found the feeling.
As a result, the British militiamen defending in the west of Yaksali City were in bad luck.
The virtual ground grenade produced in the 21st century can shatter a large area of ??the city wall after hitting the city wall, and at the same time make the surrounding soldiers fly into the air.
For a time, the soldiers guarding the city suffered heavy casualties, which had a considerable impact on their morale.
Of course, they didn¡¯t fight back.
The four 12-pound artillery pieces counterattacked intermittently, but they caused no harm to Zhao Hongyu and the others at all.
"We have to move quickly, and artillery continues to suppress the enemy. We have to open their city gates as soon as possible!"
After Zhao Hongyu looked at the British on the wall opposite, he turned back and said to Wang Shan and the others.
"You can aim six artillery pieces at the city gate and bombard it. I can blow down the city gate in no time!" At this time, a sudden voice sounded, and everyone turned around and saw that it was the British original man who had become theirs. Capture Chelsea.
After fighting all the way, Chelsea has a brilliant record.
There were more than a dozen Indians and British people who died in his hands.
Just because of his status, Zhao Hongyu usually avoids him when discussing important matters.
¡°At the same time, considering his existence, he would find an excuse for Song Hu to ¡®accidentally¡¯ reveal the extra genetic people around Zhao Hongyu to him.
Chelsea also understands his identity, so every time he discusses important matters, he will stay far away and will not come together.
When Zhao Hongyu mentioned attacking the city gate just now, he heard this, so he intervened and made a suggestion.
In fact, Chelsea has always wanted to 'progress' and want to completely integrate into this group.
After fighting with everyone for the past month, Chelsea has completely regarded herself as a member of the Song Empire.
"We can give Chelsea's suggestion a try. Under the salvo of six artillery guns, I don't believe we can't open that city gate!"
Zhao Hongyu nodded and issued this order.
Then he waved to Chelsea and called him over.
Chelsea ran over in a hurry and stood in front of Zhao Hongyu.
¡°Looking Chelsea up and down, he saw a gaping hole in his head. I don¡¯t know which battle it was made in. At the same time, there were wounds on his arms, chest and abdomen.
It can be seen that he also worked hard in the battle.
"I heard that your woman is pregnant?"
In fact, Zhao Hongyu has known about this for a long time, but he has never asked Chelsea in person.
Chelsea nodded, feeling a little uneasy.
He was worried that this 'His Majesty' would oppose this 'cross-border' love affair.
"Survive and go back alive." Zhao Hongyu looked at Chelsea encouragingly, "When I go back, I will give you a house, a cow, and ten acres of land!"
Zhao Hongyu didn't say much, but he made his promise to Chelsea.
Chelsea was shocked.
Ten acres of land and a cow!
He doesn¡¯t pay much attention to houses or anything else, but he cares very much about land.
Today¡¯s land annexation in Britain is very serious, and there are many bankruptcies.
Owning a piece of land of your own is the dream of most people.
But in a country where nobles are in power, land is still a luxury for ordinary people.
Whether they are Europeans or Chinese, the people at the bottom actually have the same desire for land.
If this were not the case, the American continent would not attract so many Europeans to adventure.
"The glory will definitely belong to Your Majesty!"
Chelsea performed a very irregular knighthood based on her own impression.
"I will give you 100 people after the city gate opens. You must control the three Galen ships in the east port of the city as soon as possible. If you succeed, then I don't mind having one more captain in the future."
¡°You don¡¯t need to leave it to Zhao Hongyu to understand how to win people¡¯s hearts at this time.
Chelsea¡¯s performance during this period has also been seen by Zhao Hongyu one by one.
He proved himself with the life and blood of his enemies.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Hongyu stopped talking to Chelsea and turned his attention to the city gate.
"When can I become the real His Majesty, instead of calling myself the "Sir" when I am fooling others?
Establishing a country and forming a powerful country is a big temptation for Zhao Hongyu. But now he didn't have such capital and qualifications, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, Zhao Hongyu is not discouraged. He knows that as long as he persists, building an empire in the future is not an unreachable thing.
As long as there is a population of 10,000, Zhao Hongyu can dominate the American continent.
¡°Anyway, on the European continent, the population of a small country is only tens of thousands.
Boom! boom! Boom boom!
While Zhao Hongyu was thinking wildly, six 24-pound artillery pieces had been turned around and fired at the city gate together.
"You all should be faster! What the hell, do you have to wait for the natives to come in so that you can realize that fear is useless!"
On the straight street behind the west gate of Yaksali City, a group of newly organized militiamen, led by a British officer, were running towards this side in a noisy manner.
The news that the west side was under attack made the Governor panic. The first thing he thought of was to send troops for reinforcements.
But for a while, the city was in chaos. Where to find soldiers?
Simply, an elderly retired officer came out and summoned hundreds of people with weapons.
This team had just arrived at the city gate, and before they could separate to reinforce the city, the wooden gate in front of them shattered. At the same time, a dark, solid cannonball shot rapidly into their team, creating a blank area.
"Everyone, don't be chaotic, organize a formation to block the city gate!"
More than a dozen lives disappeared like this, but the bearded old officer did not feel the slightest fear. After all, he had seen too much death and blood.
But the other militiamen are different. They are rookies.
These militiamen were so frightened that they could hardly hold the weapons in their hands.
The bearded officer stepped forward and kicked their butts hard.
"If you don't want to die, come with me to block the city gate!"
Then he took some brave guys who were not afraid of death and ran to the shattered city gate to stand ready.
But as soon as they stood still, they heard a crackling sound coming from the air, and then they felt as if their bodies had been hit hard by something, and they flew out without any control.
For a moment, the militiamen who followed the bearded officer to the city gate were all knocked to the ground.
Before the soldiers guarding the city wall could recover, Zhao Hongyu and the others came over to cover them up.
Chelsea took the 100 black men assigned to him and went straight into the city gate. He didn't engage in too much entanglement at all and went straight to the port on the east side.
And Zhao Hongyu kept all the war horses, and asked fifty genetic people to take care of the war horses, dragging the artillery towards the city.
He doesn¡¯t want to keep this artillery piece.These British guys are now cheap.
With fifty war horses pulling them, these six artillery pieces took no effort at all.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom!
As soon as Zhao Hongyu and the others rushed into the city gate, they started to pull the trigger of the flintlock gun, allowing the British to see the power of the shotgun.
"Rush! Keep rushing! Don't get entangled!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site).
