I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Go back, it's poisonous."

A pungent smell suddenly appeared in the tunnel dug by Hua Jun, which scared Hua Jun to retreat quickly.

Less than two-thirds of the people who escaped from the tunnel.

This is a poison gas made by the Spaniards with sulphur, and it is not very poisonous. But in a tunnel where it is difficult to breathe, adding some of this irritating gas would be quite deadly.

This method of digging tunnels has failed.

When the enemy always guards against the fact that the opponent digs the tunnel, the success rate of the tunnel offensive will be greatly reduced.

After all, it is much easier to destroy a tunnel than to dig a tunnel.

It took a few days of exhausting work to dig a tunnel, and it was destroyed by the enemy three times and five times, which was quite demoralizing.

Afterwards, Hua Jun tried to forcibly dig a pit to bury explosives, and asked a large number of infantrymen to raise their guns for cover.

However, to blow up an ordinary city wall, it is enough to dig a small hole.

In order to blow up the several-meter-thick city wall, a very, very large amount of gunpowder must be buried, and a large pit must be dug.

The Spaniards have a high advantage, even if they keep dropping bombs, they can also bring a lot of damage to the Chinese army.

In desperation, they could only give up this method.

"Brigade commander, why do you want us to withdraw. If I try to kill several hundred people, I can't do it. I can't dig this hole."

The air of the second battalion commander who was removed was too aggrieved.

"Hundreds of people, that's 10% of the battle losses."

Guan Yunqi said.

Their marines had only 5,000 people in total, and if a few hundred people died, that would be a major loss.

It was only in the early days that the Hua Army suffered such a large battle loss. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was hardly such a large battle loss. Their Marine Corps could not make an exception.

They are just fighting a battle, not a battle, they have to take this place within the stipulated time.

Therefore, battle damage must be controlled.

Guan Yunqi was still pondering, but after more than ten days, the people who went to replenish the solid bullets brought them good news.

After Wu Yi learned of their predicament, he ran to Wu Changqing and sold a wave of misery, and then borrowed an artillery regiment from the Praetorian Guards to support.

This is an artillery regiment equipped with cannons, and the cannons can fire armor-piercing projectiles, and any city wall is a cloud in front of it.

As soon as the cannon arrived, Guan Yunqi laughed.

With such a big killer, what other city walls can't be opened in the world?

Just when Guan Yunqi entertained Lu Qing and discussed the attack plan for tomorrow, Francisco actually sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Dahua.

"Master Guan, I don't think you have any reason to refuse. A truce is good for both sides. Continuing the fight will only increase the needless casualties on both sides."

Spanish envoy Castro said.

Negotiations, you should never expose your bottom line.

So, even though Castro really wanted to facilitate peace talks, on the surface, he was still quite arrogant.

He's trying to use this to send a message that they're not afraid to keep fighting.

Before the cannon battalion came, Guan Yunqi saw Castro's face and was afraid that he would be half dead.

But now, he looks at Castro like he looks at the Joker.

That is to say, he still has a bit of a palace, so he didn't laugh directly.

However, the disdain in his expression flowed out inadvertently.

This made Castro very angry. He felt that he didn't get the respect he deserved, and Guan Yunqi was very insincere and immoral.

He came over and asked for peace talks, but Guan Yunqi didn't have any feedback at all, which was too much.

When he was angry and confused, Guan Yunqi said: "Go back and tell Francisco that tomorrow we must all lay down their weapons and open the city gates to surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, our army will launch a general offensive tomorrow."

"..."

Castro didn't understand, how could this person in front of him become a high-ranking official in Dahua to command five thousand troops?

Commanding five thousand troops, this is already a senior officer in Spain.

Too naive, I don't know what to do.

Of course, Castro would not believe Guan Yunqi's so-called general attack. After all, they had all seen Dahua's methods, and there was nothing special about it.

Therefore, Guan Yunqi's words, in Castro's view, are purely a dead duck's mouth.

This is very naive for a general who commands 5,000 troops.

At this moment, Castro even wanted to become an official in Dahua.

He felt that with his reliable qualities, he could definitely become a high-ranking official.

Guan Yunqi didn't know what this guy was thinking, otherwise he would really have to laugh.

After Castro returned to Lingbao, he reported the process without any omission, but Francisco did not believe it.

He didn't believe that Guan Yunqi would have such an attitude and would say such outrageous things, which was against common sense.

Dahua obviously can't do anything about him now, how could he have the confidence to surrender unconditionally, which is simply outrageous.

"Your Excellency, I swear in the name of God, I never told a lie. That damn big Chinese, he is so stupid."

Castro even took the risk in the name of God.

"Ugh."

Francisco sighed, though

Although he used to like to laugh at other people's stupidity, but this time he was not in the mood.

Instead, he hoped that Guan Yunqi would be shrewd, recognize the situation clearly, and then everyone would shake hands and make peace and stop fighting.

He's been having a very uncomfortable time these days.

Although it seems that Dahua can't take their Lingbao, this is based on the premise of their high concentration of defense.

As long as they relax a little, Hua Jun's tunnels may dig up to the wall, they may touch the city wall at night, or they may use other means.

In short, Dahua is only suffering from being unable to attack, but they are suffering from defending at all times.

In the past two weeks, the soldiers below have been complaining, and all of them are depressed.

This kind of life can be lost at any time, and the days of fear are really not lived.

They were able to persevere only because there was no other way.

If there is any other way, those soldiers may escape.

So, Francesco really wants to make peace as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Dahua didn't cooperate, and Guan Yunqi's 'stupidity' made him extremely uncomfortable.

Francisco can only order, let everyone stick to it for a while.

He believes that as long as he sticks to it for a while, Hua Jun will definitely not be able to bear the collapse.

He guessed right, Hua Jun was really depressed and uncomfortable before.

However, when the eighteen cannons arrived, Hua Jun was excited.

The next day, the Huajun's artillery again opened and aimed at Lingbao.

After Francisco learned the news, he came to the observation deck and saw that Hua Jun was still the same, and couldn't help but let out a sneer.
