"The commander-in-chief of the division is stationed in the naval camp, and Shi Ran leads twelve medium-sized warships from the sea to the river, and then all the way to the capital of Yue Kingdom. If there are Vietnamese soldiers blocking the way, they can directly bombard them without disembarking to fight.
The core mission is to intimidate Yue Kingdom Kyoto!"
A medium-sized warship has forty full-time sailors, about two hundred combat soldiers, and thirty battle cannons on board. It is absolutely perfect against the archers and sentry towers on the shore.
In this way, the advantages of the battleship can be fully utilized to prevent Feng Qinran from wanting to engage in jungle warfare, which is not Xiao Xian's specialty.
That's why Shen Mingzhu had to find a way to get Feng Qinran to take the initiative to carry out the siege.
If a rebel has mastered most of the territory and power, then his original guerrilla warfare and small-scale sneak attack warfare will turn into large-scale positional warfare and siege warfare, because if he wants to completely control this area, he must use the small area to control the territory.
All enemies are also defeated, this is determined by strength.
With Shi Ran and other naval forces with rich experience in water warfare to attack, Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian can safely hand over the fleet to them.
Although the Yue Kingdom also has that kind of sailors, and they are very powerful. Each of them can fight quickly while stepping on a piece of driftwood. Most people are no match for them.
However, Shen Mingzhu's navy was not their previous opponents. In addition to being able to rely on battleships to fight, Shen Mingzhu's sailors were also good at underwater close combat, and even had outstanding land combat skills.
Shen Mingzhu's musket battalion was already very mature, and the soldiers had also gained experience in the Kingdom of Jin. When they came to the Kingdom of Yue, they simply ignored a city defense battle of this scale.
Soon the 50,000 Yue army arrived and started the first wave of siege. Shen Mingzhu used artillery and muskets to fight off the enemy as usual.
The terrain of the Yue Kingdom does not have as wide a view as the Jin Kingdom, which has a certain impact on their shooting range, but it also gives them protection.
The enemy cannot directly launch a large-scale attack. They can only attack the city from a few fixed positions and cannot be scattered. This determines that their attack methods and routes are very rigid, and it is easier for the soldiers defending the city to concentrate their firepower.
Hit the target.
So there was no suspense at all. The first wave of siege ended not long after. The Vietnamese soldiers suffered heavy losses and no gains were made at all.
The generals of the soldiers went to discuss with the commander of the dead soldier battalion, hoping that they could release the dead soldiers, use the speed of the dead soldiers to rush to the city as quickly as possible, and then climb up the city wall. Even if one dead soldier climbed up the city wall, good luck
The town will definitely lose.
But the people in the dead soldiers camp didn't want to take such a risk, because the muskets were too powerful, and even if the dead soldiers didn't know the pain, no one would be able to survive if they were beaten into a sieve.
There were only about two hundred dead soldiers in that distance. If they were all dispatched, it would be enough for the defenders on the city to beat them into pieces.
But such a situation would cause even greater losses than the annihilation of an entire army of 50,000 people.
As a result, they had conflicts and refused to give in to each other. The Huben generals refused to go to war, and the commanders of the dead soldiers did not want to go to war. They only waited for orders from above.
So, they stationed outside Fuyun Town, while Shen Mingzhu and others rested in Fuyun Town.
The mayor of Fuyun Town was quite scared at first, but now he saw the situation and said with a smile: "If they do this, if they come again a few times, we will completely eliminate them."
