Sometimes the battle is a kind of momentum.

The Ming army obviously had an absolute advantage.

Countless Ming soldiers began to climb up along the stairs, although the Spaniards were also using stones to smash them down as much as possible to delay the Ming army's offensive.

But both sides knew very well that the Ming army would sooner or later come to the city, and it was just a matter of time.

Mario is now like an ant on a hot pan, spinning back and forth.

He knew very well that if he did nothing, death would not be too far away from him.

"No, water me the tincture."

The purpose of irrigation is to ignite.

This is of course an excellent way to delay the siege, but it is also a way to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred by themselves.

Because the fire is likely to completely cut off the Spaniard's retreat, not to mention that the fire is likely to burn into the city.

These are things that the Spanish cannot decide. Maybe the wind direction will change and everything will be different.

But at this moment, Mario no longer cared about this.

He knew very well that he had to apply a strong medicine now.

No matter how gentle they were, they were all swallowed by the Ming army, and even a bone residue would not be left.

The Spanish soldiers woke up as if they were dreaming of Mario's roar.

They knew very well that tinder oil could delay the Ming army's offensive speed to the maximum extent.

Even if it's just delaying time, it's great. Who wants to die?

In a panic, the Spaniards poured a barrel of tinder and ignited it.

For a moment, a raging fire ignited around the entire Jieshengsuo City.

The fire looked around like a fire dragon.

The attacks of Ming soldiers had to slow down and even stagnate.

This was not because the Ming army soldiers were afraid of DDT war, but out of instinct.

At this time, it is difficult for people to rush into the fire, and it will have little effect and will not have much impact on the situation.

If that's the case, why bother to fly into the fire and destroy yourself?

We should calm down and wait for His Highness Zhong’s further instructions.

I believe that with the experience of the Guoxian Master, I can make a decision that is most suitable for the present.

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong was of course thinking too.

He was very sure that the Spanish had reached the end of their journey, otherwise he would not have made such a bad decision, and chose to ignite a fire to block the Ming army's siege.

At this time, the offensive losses must be heavy, so why did the Ming army suffer?

"Order the withdrawal of troops."

Zheng Chenggong chose the safest way, first avoiding his edge, and then making adjustments based on the situation.

The fire cannot keep burning, after all, the Spaniards have limited tincture oil.

When the fire is extinguished, it will be the time for the Ming army to attack.

The Ming army finally retreated.

Seeing the Ming army withdrawing the troops, Mario finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was like a deflated sheepskin raft, sitting on the ground, gasping heavily.

At this moment, he didn't care about venting, and he was just thinking about taking a few more breaths.

The atmosphere was so tense that he couldn't even breathe.

The oppression and attack tension of the Ming army were so powerful that Mario had never seen this before.

Whether it was the French or the British, their battles were progressing slowly, and the Ming army seemed to be exercising their energy.

This is really terrible.

Of course, Mario would compare the Ming army horizontally with other opponents, but after comparison, he found that the Ming army could not use any existing type to summarize.

This made him puzzled.

Why is the Ming army so strong, so powerful that it is unpredictable and elusive?

At this moment, Mario actually felt a little regretful.

He regretted why he chose to lead his troops to this Jiesheng City alone.

If he had followed Governor Mattis honestly, he would not have fallen into this field now.

But regret is useless.

Although the Ming army temporarily resigned and withdrew its troops, it did not actually go far.

Mario is very clear about this.

The fire will always be extinguished. Once the fire is extinguished, the Ming army will inevitably launch an offensive again.

How should he deal with it at that time?

Faced with an attack like a surging tide, where should he go?

After the Ming army withdrew, Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo came to the temporary camp to discuss the next plan and plans.

There is no doubt that the Spaniards are at the end of their power.

Otherwise, they would not have ignited a fire to prevent the Ming army from advancing.

So what the Ming army has to do now is wait until the fire is extinguished and then attack with all its strength.

Zheng Chenggong is hesitating now whether to use the most traditional siege method or to add some other elements.

For example, hot air balloons.

For this reason, Zheng Chenggong asked Li Dingguo about his experience.

After all, Liu Xingming is a favorite general under Li Dingguo, and has always been the most popular hot air balloons.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he knew that Zheng Chenggong wanted to minimize the losses.

However, he shook his head and said, "I have actually thought about what King Zhong thought. But hot air balloons are not available in every battle. They are usually used during surprise attacks. Now that the battle has begun, the Spanish must have reached the maximum vigilance. At this time, if we fly hot air balloons, it is easy for them to discover. This is disrespect to the flying hot air balloon soldiers, because they are likely to be shot down by muskets."

Li Dingguo's analysis was very reasonable and made sense. Zheng Chenggong nodded frequently after hearing this.

"It seems that I'm too worried. It's not necessary to dig out the tunnel. We are now in a comprehensive advantage, and it can even be an advantage of crushing. There is no need to do this anymore. Just attack the city."

Although there will inevitably be casualties in this way, no one will die in war.

The Ming army must overwhelm the Spaniards in terms of momentum and tell these rebellious guys that they would not be at all presumptuous on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, that's it."

Mario thought about it but still felt that he could not sit still and wait for death.

He wrote a letter of help, rolled the letter paper into a thin roll and tied it to the dove's legs, and put it out.

Things like carrier pigeons are very spiritual and can always find their masters.

Now that the whole city is surrounded, Mario cannot send people out to deliver the letter, so he can only hope that the carrier pigeon can arrive at Governor Matisse.

He believed that once Governor Matisse saw his letter of help, he would lead his troops to rescue the situation without hesitation.

The reason is actually very simple. Mario is Matisse's right-hand man.

Mario was damaged, and Matisse was also uncomfortable.

And if the first battle is a crushing defeat, the Spanish will not be able to fight in the next battle.

Neither the Ming army nor the Spanish could accept that the first battle was a crushing defeat.

So Matisse will definitely come to save him.

All Mario has to do now is persevere, no matter how difficult it is, he must persevere to the end.

Reinforcements will definitely come
