Chapter 1075: Attack the City of Victory for the Moon
Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo reached a consensus, that is, not to alert the enemy.
Under the guidance of local people, the Ming army gradually began to approach Jieshengsuo City.
Jiesheng Suocheng is built based on the mountains and the terrain is relatively high.
If you approach it rashly without hiding it, it will be easily discovered by the enemy.
In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Zheng Chenggong ordered all soldiers to disguise themselves and scatter to get close.
Fortunately, there are many woods near Jieshengsuo City, and as long as they are not too silly, they will not be discovered.
As for the sea siege, of course, it is also necessary to do it, but until the moment of the final siege, the Ming Navy would not show up easily.
Zheng Chenggong wanted to ensure that everything was foolproof and wiped out the invading Spanish.

...
Mario got up just after noon every day. Under the service of his personal soldiers, he stretched and prepared for lunch after washing up.
Then I heard the rumbling cannon sound at this moment.
At first Mario thought he had heard it wrong.
After all, they have been in Jieshengsuo City for more than ten days, and the local garrison of the Ming army dared not even let go, let alone take the initiative to attack.
But the cannon sounded several times, and Mario realized that something was really happening.
He didn't care about many things and quickly got up and rushed out.
Surrounded by personal soldiers, Mario rushed to the city.
I saw countless Ming troops gathered from all directions.
how so?
Mario gasped and felt very puzzled.
Logically speaking, the guards should be alert, how could they let so many Ming soldiers approach without any notice?
Do these guys really make a living?
But Mario didn't care about his anger at this moment.
He knew very well that the most urgent task was to block the Ming army.
If the Ming army was allowed to approach the siege, this small city would not last long.
"Come on fire, fire back."
The Ming army had artillery, and the Spanish were not casual.
The Spanish soldiers quickly aimed the muzzle at the Ming army in the distance, and then began to shell and fight back.
No one is a good person. Since the Ming army has come, they will invite them to have a drink.
"Start the fire, set off the fire, don't stop."
As a general with rich combat experience, Mario knew that he must boost his morale at this time and must not be discouraged at all.
It will be the soul of a army.
If he had brought this tone, the soldiers would be full of energy.
But if he breathed this breath, most Spanish soldiers would have gone to a great exorcism.
"Don't stand there, prepare the stones. If the Ming army approaches, they will smash them hard."
Jiesheng Suo City is a stone city, and the entire city is in the shape of a turtle.
If we say that the most in the city is naturally stones.
They use materials locally and can dismantle the resources for defending the city at any time.
Mario is also a ruthless man. He knew that he must set an example at this time, so he personally carried the stones.
Later, under the leadership of personal soldiers, five thousand Spanish began to carry stones frantically.
No one was idle except those gunners who were firing fire.
They knew that today is a critical period for life and death, and there must be no slackness. Any slackness will lead to the enemy's charge being unable to be stopped.
We must take this breath, and they have no other choice to survive.
At the same time, the Ming army's charge was also very fast.
And because they come from all directions, they can cover their robes to the greatest extent when they encircle them.
The artillery fire in Spain can only be used in a few directions, and the power is of course greatly reduced when the firepower is dispersed.
The Ming soldiers were like not afraid of death. They had experienced too many big scenes, and today they were considered to be in the same place.
Zheng Chenggong was naturally very pleased about this.
It can be said that the Battle of Jiesheng Suocheng was the first battle between the Ming army and Spain on the southeast coast.
This war is of great importance and can be said to be able to lay a lot of things.
If the Ming army could win a great victory in this battle and hit Spain hard, it would be like a good start, and the soldiers would be more comfortable in their hearts.
With the high morale, many of the things that followed came naturally.
"Roll, don't give the Spaniards any chance, rush."
"For the Ming Dynasty, for Your Majesty."
"charge!"
At this moment, the Ming soldiers were as if they were twisting together and charged with great determination.
So much so that Mario, who was above the city, saw this scene and instinctively swallowed up the spit.
People will only suck and spit when they are nervous.
This is a very instinctive reaction, which is enough to show that even Mario is panicked.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the fact is that the impact of the Ming army far exceeded his expectations.
So what should we do now?
It is impossible to retreat, and there is no chance of winning after breaking through. If you think about it carefully, you can only stick to one way.
"I'll hear it all for me. Those who want to survive will use all their strength to defeat the Ming army. If they attack in, none of us will survive."
Mario was hoarse at the top of his voice, as if he had exhausted his last bit of strength.
The atmosphere at the city wall became very solemn for a moment.
The Spanish knew that Mario was telling the truth.
If the Ming army's hatred for them fell into the hands of the Ming army, they would definitely have no way to survive.
In order to survive, they must fight.
"Start the fire, then fire the fire."
Although some of the Ming army had already overcome the blockade of Spanish artillery, many soldiers were still within the Spanish firepower coverage.
Mario wanted to use the power of artillery to the greatest extent to prevent the Ming army from advancing.
Because he knew very well that if all the Ming army were allowed to come to the city, it would be certain that the city would be broken.
He didn't know how long he could last.
But you have to do your best.
The Spanish artillery was indeed well-known. After one shot, many Ming soldiers were blown away.
The flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and the air was filled with a smell of blood.
But no Ming army soldier chose to run away and run away.
They are all carefully selected warriors, and their execution and willpower are extremely powerful.
At this time, His Highness King Jin and His Highness King Zhong were watching them, and they must not disappoint the two princes.
Gradually, more and more Ming soldiers were restocking and approaching the city wall.
This city wall was originally the garrison wall, not too high. The Ming army laid the ladders that had been prepared on the city wall and then began to climb.
No one knows better than them that the Spanish are shrouded in fear at this moment.
At this time, they had a very short window period. While the Spaniards were still rushing hard, they would definitely get a good result.
Sure enough, when the Spanish soldiers were still stunned when they saw the Ming army began to attack the city, Mario yelled: "What are you waiting for? Smash the stones quickly."
