Chapter 382 Two-line attack

"Please look at this, this is Kalamba Port, and more than ten miles east is Kalamba City. It was first built by Sinhala. After being occupied by the Eastern Romans, it changed its name and was called the City of Condors."

At this time, Zhang Jin no longer dared to keep anything, and wanted to pour out all the inventory in his stomach.

"The entire southern and southwestern part of Ceylon Island is controlled by the Eastern Romans, and the north is controlled by the Sinhalese, while the Tamils ​​are forced to retreat to the central mountains and completely lose their estuary. The students suggest that when attacking the City of Condors, they should consider their future layout!"

Zhu Qizhen's lips raised slightly. No wonder this guy is so open-minded in a foreign country thousands of miles away. He has a good strategic vision!

We are still thinking about how to deal with the Eastern Romans, but they have already begun to make arrangements to capture the entire island of Ceylon.

"Tell me, how to layout?"

"Students are brave enough to attract jade..."

Zhang Jin was respectful, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. Even the title changed from a sinner to a student.

"...The Eastern Romans' troops were all shrinking in the City of Condor Heroes. This was an excellent opportunity for our Ming army. The emperor only needed to send iron armored ships to attack Kalamba Port, and then the main force attacked from the land and killed from here and went straight to the City of Condor Heroes!"

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart that this tactic is simple and crude. If you think about it carefully, it is very effective.

What the Eastern Romans fear most now is the ironclad ships. They gathered all their troops and built a large number of fortifications in the port, and all preparations were for targeting the ironclad ships.

Although in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, no matter how the Eastern Romans prepare, they will be futile in the end.

In this era, ironclad ships can almost crush all combat power, whether they are armor or firepower.

It is only a matter of time to conquer Kalamba Port and how much it costs.

However, if you follow Zhang Jin's plan, the iron-clad ship will attack, attract the opponent's firepower, and then raid from land... it seems to be a good choice.

After landing from Negombo Port, it is only a few dozen miles away from the City of Condor Heroes. It only takes one day to arrive with the Shenji Camp.

The Eastern Romans were all concentrated in the Port of Kalamba, and the city of Condor was empty. It can be imagined that this siege battle was like a target shooting exercise.

The problem now is...

Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhang Jin with a look of suspicion in his eyes.

Isn't this guy going to be trapped on himself, right?

After all... his whole family was stolen by me...

"emperor!"

Zhang Jin seemed to see through what Zhu Qizhen was thinking and knelt down with a thud.

"Students know that their sins are serious, and their father... they are even more dead. The students dare not ask the emperor to forgive me, but they want to contribute to the Ming Dynasty. In this battle... the students are willing to be the pioneer. If they die on the battlefield, they will be considered to have sacrificed their lives for their country. It is better than taking the rebellion as a tragedy. Please beg the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen still doesn’t believe it. How can your life be worth my Sanqian Camp and Shenji Camp?

To be safe, I will attack from the sea. Even if I pay some price, I will always win it in the end.

Zhang Jin was eager to make contributions at this time. Seeing the other party hesitation, he hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if the emperor does not recognize the students' tactics. Students can return to the City of Eagle and be an insider for the emperor. Moreover... the student's identity can be close to the Queen, so it is better for students to learn Yan Shi Jing Ke..."

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "How sure are you?"

Zhang Jin was stunned and replied: "The students are a little less skilled, but those foreigners are not prepared for the students, as long as they can get close to them..."

"no!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, interrupted him, and asked, "I'm here to ask you, how much is it to attack from land?"

Zhang Jin suddenly became excited and said, "The emperor is worried too much. Whether from land or sea, the strength of our Ming fleet is far superior to that of the Eastern Romans. We will definitely win this battle. The students recommend taking a land raid. First, we can fight quickly and decisively, and further, we can reduce the damage and casualties."

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a long time, and then ordered people to summon Zhang Mao, Li Zhen and Chen Ying.

At first, these three people almost ignored Zhang Jin, but when they heard the tactics of attacking the sea and land, their expressions gradually became solemn.

Chen Ying took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I think... this plan is feasible!"

As the most advanced firearm unit of the Ming Dynasty, the Shenji Battalion had almost no participation in the battle along the way.

During naval battles, ship-borne artillery is enough.

Landing and fighting... The ports attacked by the ironclad ships were basically destroyed in ruins. After the Shenji Camp got off the ship, the target could not be found.

The three thousand camps can at least take over the city defense, but the role of the Shenji camp has not been fully utilized.

Now that he finally had a chance, he certainly agreed.

Zhang Mao thought and said, "In fact, this tactic can be adjusted slightly. If the land Divine Machine Camp feints attacking the Divine Eagle City, the Eastern Romans will inevitably return to defense. At this time, the ironclad ships attack from the sea will definitely be able to be taken down in one fell swoop!"

At this time, Zhang Jin said carefully: "The iron-clad ship can advance or retreat on the sea, but it is hard to say on land. If the Eastern Romans came out in full swing and fought with their lives, I am afraid, I am afraid..."

Everyone understood that it was true that land was different from sea, and they were fighting in foreign countries.

Unfamiliar with the terrain, and the Shenji Camp belongs to the baggage force, and is slow to move. If it is targeted, there will inevitably be some casualties.

Li Zhen said: "Then let the three thousand battalions cooperate to fight, and the Shenji Battalion is responsible for long-range fire suppression."

Zhang Mao frowned and said, "In this way, will this line on the road become the main attack again?"

Finally, Chen Ying understood and said angrily: "Why can't we lead the main attack?"

Because except for the Shenji Camp and the San Thousand Battalions, the rest of the troops were brought out from Jiaozhi and Luzon, the Luzon Navy and King Huang stayed on Temasek Island, and the only one left was Jiaozhi Navy.

Zhang Mao commanded the Jiaozhi Navy. This unit was unable to compare with the Three Thousand Battalions and Shenji Battalions, regardless of its weapons and equipment, or its combat qualities.

However, if the level is not enough, the ironclad ship will come and get it!

As long as you drive an iron-clad ship, you can do whatever camp you want. I am invincible, you can do whatever you want!

Therefore, when he heard that the Sanqian Camp and the Shenji Camp attacked from the land, he was naturally reluctant.

This is a military achievement that can be obtained at your fingertips, so of course we have to fight for it.

Chen Ying and Li Zhen also understood it, and immediately joined forces to insist on attacking from the land and attacking the ironclad ships.

Zhang Mao defeated two at once and was immediately defeated.

This result made Zhu Qizhen unexpectedly. He found these three people to discuss the offensive route, but at the beginning of the discussion, Zhang Mao's little thoughts were exposed and he was defeated directly.

"The two Qing families have to think about it. If they attack from land, if they encounter any unexpected situations or even fall into the ambush of the enemy, they will have no choice but to retreat, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Zhu Qizhen was embarrassed to say it clearly, be careful of Zhang Jin's second-five-child, I slap his whole family, maybe I pretended to surrender, and secretly thought about how to take revenge on me!

Li Zhen looked dissatisfied and said, "Don't worry, Master, how can the combat effectiveness of these foreign devils be compared with the Three Thousand Battalions? Even if they set up an ambush, I dare to go in and outright enter, and then fight a bloody path in the ambush circle and cooperate with the Shenji Camp to take down the Bird City!"

"Well said!"

Chen Ying also stood up and said, "The target of the ironclad ship is too big, and the enemy's main fortifications are all built against ironclad ships. It is not the best way to attack the port. It is better to order the ironclad ship to feint, and then attack from land by Shenji Camp and Sanqian Battalion."

Zhang Jin's face was flushed and said, "Students are familiar with the terrain here and can lead the way!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them, looked at Zhang Jin again, and finally nodded.

No matter how you look at it, this tactic is the most perfect.

I just hope it's not a pit, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to say...

Forget it, since you have decided, then do it!

"Since everyone agrees, it's not advisable to do so, Chen Ying and Li Zhen!"

"I'm here!"

"I'm here!"

"You two will set out tonight. You must arrive at Condor City before dawn tomorrow."

"Abide by the order!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Mao!"

Zhang Mao hurriedly saluted: "I am here!"

"You lead the Jiaozhi Navy and take the ironclad ship. Let's set off now. According to the time, you will arrive at Kalamba Port at about midnight. You will not rest and attack directly. Remember, you can only attack with a feint and not be in love!"

"I obey the order!"

Although Zhang Mao was helpless, he had to agree.

Just have a feint attack. After all, it is the most elite Shenji Camp and Sanqian Camp in the Ming Dynasty. How can the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command compare to...

However, all three of them received the order, but at the same time they had a question.

Where is the emperor going?

If you take land, you will be able to capture cities and villages, which is a bit of a risk.

If you follow the boat...will the emperor personally cover up?

Who can bear this favor?

Finally, when Zhang Mao left, he asked with a courageous attitude: "Master, are you going to board the ship?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said, "I am tired, so stay here tonight. You guys go!"
