The long-term siege plan mentioned by Liu Xiang frowned. In the eyes of many generals, Yang Feng led hundreds of warships, more than 100 cargo ships, and more than 20,000 troops to the Second Fleet. Facing a small castle, it was almost certain to grab a snail with three fingers, but now Liu Xiang said that he should be prepared for a protracted war, which is completely opposite to their idea.

Chu Maoguang didn't say anything because he was concerned about Liu Xiang, but not everyone was concerned about his background.

Geng Bingyi frowned and said, "Deputy Admiral Liu, do you know that our tens of thousands of troops and more than 200 warships are far away from the local area, and the food, grass, and military pay they consume every day is 10,000.

And the court will not allocate a penny of food and wages. They are all paid out of their own pockets. Even if the marquis doesn’t care about these, we, as subordinates, have to think about the marquis.”

Yang Feng looked at Geng Bingyi unexpectedly. Geng Bingyi, a general who has always been known for his steadiness, actually pushed Liu Xiang with him today. This is really rare.

However, he immediately thought about it and immediately understood Geng Bingyi's thoughts. As the scale of the Jiangning Army continued to expand, these subordinates who had originally followed him also rose one by one.

Just like Geng Bingyi, when he first came, he was just a deputy Qianhu Office of the Thousand Households of Jiangdongmen. He has now become a guerrilla general and has five thousand elite troops under his command. A few days ago, the Jiangning Army was reorganized, and he was even named brigade general.

Not only that, Yang Feng is also a man who often plays with disappearance. When Yang Feng was away in recent years, Geng Bingyi has replaced him with command many times and has become the second-in-commander of the Jiangning Army.

A few days ago, Yang Feng revealed that he wanted to promote several generals again, as deputy generals and even generals. Geng Bingyi must have ideas about this position.

Because Geng Bingyi has both qualifications and military achievements, the only thing he lacks now is an opportunity. In his opinion, as long as this battle is done well, his promotion will naturally come naturally, and he will never be separated from it. But now Liu Xiang proposes to prepare for a long-term battle, which makes Geng Bingyi very unhappy.

After all, as long as the San Petro Castle was taken down, most of the Spaniards' power in the Far East was basically wiped out. It would be natural for Geng Bingyi to rise to another level, but Liu Xiang was fine, and he actually proposed to make plans for a long-term battle. No wonder he opposed it.

These things are very long-winded, but Yang Feng's mind changed and he immediately understood what Geng Bingyi was thinking at the moment. He couldn't help but sigh quietly: "In life, no one can avoid fame, wealth and wealth. Even Geng Bingyi, a person who has always been calm, was obsessed with it."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yang Feng thought for a while: "Let's do this, no one can say whether this battle can be resolved quickly or whether it needs to be a long-term confrontation now.

But as the saying goes, it is a mule or a horse that takes a walk. If you want me to say, we will know when we fight the Red-haired Devils tomorrow. Everyone says this is the case?"

"Um!"

"good!"

"The Marquis is right!"

The generals also nodded together. The battlefield is the best teacher. I will know whether the Spaniard can fight tomorrow. It is not too late to adjust the offensive deployment after understanding the Spaniard's strength.

Seeing that all the generals had no objection, Yang Feng said again: "Okay, since this is the case, I will order you now!"

"Crazy..."

With Yang Feng's voice, all the generals who were sitting stood up and raised their heads and said in unison: "I'm sure to listen to the Marquis' military order!"

"Qiu Disheng!"

"arrive!"

"The mission of your artillery camp tomorrow is..."

"First battalion...your battalion is responsible..."

"Second Camp..."

It was shining and the chefs in the barracks had already prepared breakfast. In various places in the port, the soldiers who had already gotten up were lined up to receive their breakfast.

Because it is backed by a modern society with rich material resources, the Jiangning Army has never had a bad meal since its establishment. Just like this morning, the breakfast was steamed buns, porridge, meat buns and pickles, and it was full. Such food may only be eaten during the Chinese New Year in places where supplies are poor, but such food in the Jiangning Army can only be considered very ordinary.

Although he only slept for more than three hours last night, Yang Feng, who had an abnormal physique, still looked energetic. He was holding a steamed bun in his hand and gnawing while observing the situation in Castle San Petro with a telescope.

Castle San Petro is still quietly located in the mist in the morning, like a monster that has not yet woken up.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him. Yang Feng turned around and found that it was Qiu Disheng who came.

"Qiu Disheng!"

"arrive!"

Hearing Yang Feng called his name, Qiu Disheng quickly walked to Yang Feng and stood there, but he did not experience Yang Feng, because according to military regulations, in order to better protect himself, salute is strictly prohibited on the battlefield.

Yang Feng looked at Qiu Disheng and then said, "I made it clear last night. I believe I don't need to say anything more. I only have one requirement, that is, do your best to blow off the Red-haired Japanese artillery positions and blow up their artillery as much as possible. I will observe the enemy's movements for you from behind."

"clear!"

Chiu Disheng responded loudly, then strode out.

When the sky was completely bright, the Jiangning Army had formed two infantry phalanxes and began to advance towards Fort San Petro. It stopped at the advance road of 1,200 meters away from Fort San Petro. Behind these two infantry phalanxes were countless gunners and thirty-eight thirty-two-pound cannons.

As the largest artillery in the Jiangning Army at present, the 32-pound artillery weighs more than 1,600 kilograms. Although Yang Feng has installed four solid rubber tires for each artillery to increase its movement ability, it is still a bit too heavy. Every time he moves, he needs six strong horses to pull it away, not to mention the heavier supporting projectiles and gunpowder.

The Ming army's actions could not be hidden from the eyes of the defenders. In fact, when the Jiangning army first began to assemble, a group of officers including Field and Castro had already arrived at the city wall to prepare to command the battle.

Seeing the Ming army setting up artillery positions in an orderly manner, Field pointed to the two neatly arranged square formations in front and asked his artillery commander: "Major Hector, can your artillery soldiers attack the artillery positions of the Ming army?"

"Sorry, Your Excellency the Governor." Hector shook his head: "I have measured it just now. They are about 1,200 meters away from us, and our farthest 18-pound cannon has a maximum range of only 1,000 meters and cannot hit the opponent at all."

Field pointed ahead and asked again, "What about them? Can they beat us?"

"this……"
