These peasants were all drawn from construction teams and mines, and they worked quickly and well.It can be said that these [-] people are professional engineers.

  When it comes to fighting, it may not be as powerful as imagined, but in terms of work, it is the real number one in the world.

  Can't find anything better than them.

  And with these peasants working, the regular army as the main force in the battle can also save energy, recharge their batteries, and wait for a better fight.

  Not to mention, in the age of cold weapons, fighting is really exhausting.

  The sword in the hand, the armor on the body, which one does not require strength to carry?

  Fighting more requires charging and slashing people, which consumes a lot of energy.

  Even in the age of hot weapons, dig trenches and withstand the

  Recoil, that also takes effort.

  For combat, Lin Feng has his own unique views.

  And the battle against Weihaiwei was the first battle since the establishment of the army in his hands. Lin Feng couldn't sit in the lord's mansion and wait for news. He needed to be on the battlefield in person.

  Witness the way of fighting in this era, so you can adjust your army at any time!

  Seek truth from facts and make strategic plans based on actual conditions.

  Although the tactical aspect is carried out by the officers under his command, the strategic aspect still needs to be controlled by Lin Feng himself.

  "My lord, Weihaiwei's guardsmen, fled at the wind, we didn't launch an attack, and we easily occupied the pier. Liujiadao Qianhuo completed the task of occupying the outer stronghold of Weihaiwei and surrounding Weihaiwei in half a day!"

  Navy Commander Ling Yun reported to the report.

  These farmers and arms produced from the system all have their own names, and there is no need for Lin Feng to think about them one by one, which saves a lot of attention.

  Hearing the report of the naval commander Ling Yun, Lin Feng nodded: "The Ming army is indeed rotten, this time we were able to land easily. Although we did a beautiful job, it also has a lot to do with the decay of the Ming army. We must not be complacent. , also need to pay attention, if there is anything wrong, continue to improve, if there is a deficiency, then improve, find the problem and solve the problem!"

  "Yes, my lord!"

  Ling Yun nodded heavily.

  Seeing Ling Yun's serious expression, Lin Feng didn't say anything more and waved his hand: "Go, go and see the situation on the front line!"

  Surrounded by a hundred family soldiers, they walked to the frontline headquarters.

  The front-line headquarters, built on a high ground a few miles away from Weihaiwei, can view the entire battlefield from a commanding height.Rough camps have also been established on the entire front line, and many farmers are cutting wood and starting to build ladders and battering rams for siege.

  The cloud ladder is a long ladder, which is used to climb the city wall when sieging the city.

  The battering ram is a large hammer that bombards the city gate.

  When there is no large amount of gunpowder blasting the city, and no artillery bombing the city, these two methods of siege are the most conventional methods.

  As for flooding the city gates, digging tunnels, etc., those are all tactics of sneak attack when the conventional methods are not working, the city is besieged for a long time, the defenders are exhausted, and they are negligent.

  Under normal circumstances, for a city with a tightly guarded city, this tricky method simply won't work.

  If you want to break through the city quickly, in addition to sneak attacks, you can only rely on strong strength, with abundant troops and soldiers who are not afraid of death, forcibly enter the city to open the door and break the city.

  And now Lin Feng is taking this approach.

  The soldiers under him were all in armor, swords, shields and spearmen in steel, and archers and light cavalry in leather.

  Well-equipped, high morale, and not afraid of death.

  There is no problem at all in capturing Weihaiwei.

  The only question is, what about the casualties.

  But what Lin Feng is most afraid of is casualties. He has sufficient resources. Even if he loses a few thousand people, he can replenish it in minutes.

  The strength is so powerful that there is no need for any tricks and tricks at all, just press it directly.

  "Siege the city!"

  Looking at the battlefield situation, especially seeing that Weihaiwei's city wall is no more than seven or eight meters high, and there are no artillery pieces on the city wall, and there are very few musketeers.

Chapter 2 The money is received, and I want the city too! (4/[-])

  city ​​wall.

  "hiss!"

  The commander of Weihaiwei stood on the city wall, holding a monocular telescope, looking at the army formation of Liujiadao army. When he saw the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen wearing steel armor and silver-white steel helmets, he gasped. A breath of cold air.

  "Who are the people on Liujia Island? Thousands of elite soldiers, all wearing armor and helmets!"

  Seeing such a military appearance, Commander Weihaiwei made his legs go weak, and he almost lost his footing.

  He has already overestimated the people on Liujia Island, but in fact, he is still far underestimated.

  There are already tens of thousands of horses at the dock and outside the city, not to mention the elite soldiers in armor and helmets, but only the farmers who are working.

  "Hurry up, send out the money you loot!!"

  "I can't handle it, I can't handle it!"

  The commander of Weihaiwei shouted like he had seen a ghost, "I can't be in a hurry."

  "grown ups?"

  The thousands of households around them looked at each other in dismay, and asked softly.

  The commander of Weihaiwei didn't speak either. He handed over the monocular telescope in his hand. A Qianhu curiously took the telescope and looked out of the city. The next moment, he collapsed on the ground with a thud.

  The rest of the people were pale and realized that something was wrong, and they rushed to the binoculars to look out of the city.

  Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

  All of them sat on the ground in fright, their faces pale and weeping, just like their dead old father.

  "Where the hell is this elite soldier coming from?!!"

  "Flying disaster! Flying disaster!"

  "Damn, are the people on Liujia Island going to rebel?!!"

  "The Tartars are not so cruel, are they?!"

  "..."

  Everyone on the city wall was terrified, shivering, and complaining.

  The knife with the knife could not be held steady, and the bow with the bow could not be drawn, and the whole body was frightened and weak, and it was cold.

  "Send the money, hey..."

  When the Weihaiwei commander saw this scene, he was completely desperate, sighed, and waved his hand.Now he has no choice, the only thing he can hope for is that the people in Liujiadao can leave after receiving the money.

  From the commanders of thousands of households and hundreds of households to the soldiers of the general flag, one counts as one. Can't run away!

  ......

  "Lord, look!"

  Outside the city, the Liujiadao army, who was about to launch a siege, saw the gate suddenly open wide, and a man who looked like a butler walked out of the city with a dozen people, carrying several large boxes.

  Lin Feng stopped the siege operation and frowned slightly: "Let's see what they are going to do?"

  Soon, it became clear that the lead housekeeper was the housekeeper of the Weihaiwei commander, and he brought people out of the city to give money.

  Its purpose made Lin Feng even more amused and helpless. These people actually thought of giving him money and sending him gifts out of the country.

  "My lord?"

  Liu Yuan, a thousand households in Liujiadao Qianhuo, looked at Lin Feng and waited for Lin Feng's decision.

  Lin Feng asked, "How much money do you have?"

  "Thirty-five thousand taels!" Liu Yuan replied.

  "It's quite a lot of money!" Lin Feng laughed.

  You know, although the price of silver is often used at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the silver is worthless.

  However, silver is not a mainstream currency.

  Copper coins are the ones. Although one tael of silver was worth thousands of copper coins before the founding of the country, there were also as many as seven or eight hundred coins.

  Silver is just a unit of measurement for large-scale transactions, [-] taels of silver are already a lot.

  For a long time, Daming also used cloth as a currency unit.

  In the South, the price of cloth has been 3 cents silver for a long time

  between.

  One tael of silver is equal to ten coins, and one coin is equal to 10 cents.

  The equivalent of a piece of cloth is more than twenty copper plates.

  That is to say, for thirty-five thousand taels of silver, nearly one million pieces of cloth can be purchased.

  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, how many people were in rags? !

  These silvers are an astronomical amount for any common people of Ming Dynasty!

  A dilapidated Weihaiwei, where did the money come from?

  Didn't you get it?

  After thinking about it, Lin Feng smiled and said in a low voice, "Tell them, I'll take the money, and I want the Weihaiwei site too!"

  ......

  in the city.

  "How? Did they agree?"

  The commander of Weihaiwei asked anxiously to the housekeeper who was returning to the city.

  "Master, they said that the money has been collected, and the city will also be needed!"

  "How could they do this?!!" The commander of Weihaiwei was immediately furious and screamed incompetently: "No rules, no morals!!"
