The sunset hangs at the end of the sea, and lazily spreads the chill sunshine above the city of Relanzha.

Sonod and more than a dozen officers sat around a round table on the balcony of the Chief Office, and placed seven or eight bottles of wine and some desserts in front of them.

Half a month ago, the Ming army suddenly stopped attacking the city of Gelanzha, which made the soldiers and civilians in Sonod, who originally thought they were doomed, breathed a sigh of relief.

Encos sat with his drunken eyes slightly open and looked at the sea in the distance, enjoying the slightly drunk feeling coming from his mind, and burped loudly, then sighed: "How great would it be if he could spend so peacefully every day."

"yes!"

An officer also laughed: "Half a month ago, since the first line of defense was broken by the Ming army, I thought my life had entered the countdown. I didn't expect that they would give up the attack so easily. Until now I still thought it was a dream."

"Yes, I want to know why, too!"

The eyes of the officers showed curious eyes. From the perspective of the soldiers, one side that had an absolute advantage in both military strength and firepower actually gave up the attack on the other side. This was really difficult to understand.

A captain with blue eyes and a handsome face looked at Sonod and asked curiously: "Governor General, I heard that the reason why Ming Kingdom stopped attacking us was all because of your credit, is that right?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Sonod was very proud. Although he wanted to show off his face, his status as a noble still made him wave his hand reservedly.

Seeing this, Encos naturally understood his boss's mood that he wanted to pretend to be 13 and was a little difficult to speak of. In this case, his subordinate naturally held up his responsibilities.

"You don't know this. As early as a month ago, our Governor sent more than ten people to the Ming Dynasty to lurk in the territory of Ming Dynasty. Once the Ming army showed signs of attacking the city of Relanzha.

They immediately went ashore along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty and rushed to the capital of Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and then protested to the Ming Dynasty's court against the Ming army's attack on Relanzha City for no reason."

Speaking of this, Encos glanced at the officers and said, "According to our understanding of the Ming Dynasty, the ones their ministers like to advocate the most is the coming of the country to pay tribute, which will satisfy their vanity to the greatest extent.

So as long as our envoys arrive in the capital, hand them the letter of state and express their sincerity to surrender, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty will definitely order their troops to cease the war at the first time, so that we will get a valuable respite.

Now you see, isn’t things going on as our wise Governor-General imagined? The Ming army could only stop the attack obediently.”

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and many officers showed admiration and sudden enlightenment in their eyes.

Everyone was not stingy and expressed their praises to His Excellency the Governor's wise and magical martial arts.

Although Sonod looked reserved, the proud expression in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

To be honest, this idea was not something he thought of, but the idea of ​​Zheng Zhibao who had gone away from Fusang, but this did not affect Sonod taking this idea for himself.

Suddenly a voice rang: "Governor General, there are almost four or five months left before the principle of reinforcements. Can we really delay the arrival of reinforcements?"

The originally noisy sound suddenly stopped, and many angry eyes were hindering the ejaculation. Can't you make me happy for a while?

Sonod was silent, looked at the captain deeply, and then said calmly: "Everyone, of course I really hope that the city of Relanzha can last until the day when reinforcements arrive, but we cannot put all our expectations on it.

So I hope everyone can cheer up and not relax their vigilance. If the Ming army really launches a new attack, everyone can fight for the Netherlands and His Majesty the King with the spirit of sacrificing everything! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" A sparse voice sounded around.

Seeing that the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became low, it was obvious that everyone was no longer interested. Sonod waved his hand boredly. Seeing this, the officers stood up and began to disperse in two or two.

Encos, who was standing beside him, glared at the defeated captain with displeasure, walked to Sonod and was about to say something when suddenly a low and breathless voice sounded in the air.

Before Encos could speak, he pounced like a conditioned reflex and immediately threw Sonod, who was sitting in the chair, to the ground.

Before Sonod could curse, he heard a loud noise not far away.

"boom!"

Only a violent explosion sounded, and countless gravel and soil shook out by the shock waves splashed everywhere. Many of them even hit Encos and Sonod, and at the same time, a thick stream of black smoke also rose.

"It's the flower bullet... the Ming army's cannon!" A terrified voice sounded.

Encos quickly helped Sonod up. The two looked towards the explosion and found that the explosion site was only a few dozen meters away from them, and there was a bomb crater the size of a dining table appeared in the explosion site.

After seeing the crater, Sonod gritted his teeth and said, "It was actually a thirty-two-pound flowering bullet. Is Mingren crazy?"

Encos was also silent. The price of flowering bullets these days is much more expensive than solid bullets, especially large-caliber flowering bullets. For example, this 32-pound flowering bullet costs at least five Dutch guilds, which is almost equivalent to the salary of a Dutch soldier in the past six months.

Perhaps echoing Sonod's anger, several flowering bullets fell nearby one after another. The sudden shelling hit the Dutch and caught them off guard. Many shrill screams and screams continued to sound with the sound of cannons.

The shelling lasted less than five minutes before it ended, but the destructive power was quite strong. When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Sonod looked around and saw that the Office of the Chief Office, which was originally built beautifully and exquisitely, was like a little girl who had been abused by several strong men, with broken buildings and crying and wailing people everywhere.

As the supreme commander, Sonod was not saddened by the losses of the Chief Office, but said loudly to Encos: "You go to the second line of defense immediately and send someone to contact the spies lurking outside to see what happened, and report to me immediately."

Soon, Encos came back, and there was only one news he brought. Yang Feng, who had disappeared for half a month, came back. This time he not only brought a large number of flowering bullets, but also had to launch a new attack on the city of Jelanzha.
Chapter completed!
