- I Juan Yishui Shoal 828
Batavia City, the former Dutch municipal building.
Zhang Xianzhong has made meritorious service in continuous battles, and now he has become awe-inspiring. He slapped the table and said, "Angel Liu, these Indian prisoners can no longer be used. They can't work one by one, and they eat like rice buckets. They can all be used as cannon fodder in the siege!"
"Just give me a bowl of gruel every day." Liu Hanyi said.
Zhang Xianzhong said: "I definitely won't let them eat more, but they only eat a bowl of gruel, and they don't want to work at all. They can't move a few times when they are whipped. If the supervisor doesn't watch, they will lie on the ground to dry." The sun. I also ordered that if you do a good job, you can eat more. This trick is useful for Taiwanese headhunters, but it doesn¡¯t work for those Indian captives.¡±
Deputy envoy Sun Jie said: "I asked rich Indian businessmen, and these captives are all untouchables. They can only do things like dig out excrement and move corpses. They are not allowed to believe in religion, and they are not allowed to reincarnate. They will be like that in this life, no matter you They won't believe any promises you make. You said you can eat more if you do a good job, have you ever rewarded anyone?"
"Repay the reward? The work given will never be finished. It's good if I don't kill them." Zhang Xianzhong said angrily.
Sun Jie said with a smile: "Only when the Shang monarch migrates to the woods and establishes the faith can he reform the law in Qin. Village head Zhang can also reward the rice and establish the faith, regardless of whether the Indian captives have completed their work or not. Every day, choose the three who do the most work, in front of the rest. For the captives¡¯ noodles, give them an extra bowl of porridge. Those who are willing to work more will be rewarded to four people every day. Keep going up, ten or twenty will be rewarded every day. Then divide the Indian prisoners into groups, which group will work the best Well, give everyone an extra bowl of porridge. The team leader will punish those who don¡¯t want to work in order to eat more. But remember, even after receiving rewards, they can¡¯t really make them full. Only hungry people, Only then did I realize that eating more is very precious.¡±
"Will this work?" Zhang Xianzhong questioned.
"Give it a try, Village Chief Zhang is still reluctant to give a few more bowls of porridge a day?" Liu Hanyi laughed.
Zhang Xianzhong said depressedly: "Then give it a try."
The insensitivity of the Indian untouchables is such that they see no hope at all.
Sun Jie said: "These hundreds of Indian captives can actually be used for good. First reward Lixin, change their ideas, and make them feel that they are also useful. Then let them be tenants in Luzon. They are real tenants, not what Serfs. As long as they are willing to work, as long as they learn how to farm, no matter how lazy they are, they will be enough. In the future, the Datong army will kill India, and if these hundreds of Indian untouchables are captured, they will be able to recruit and educate more untouchables."
Liu Hanyi said: "We'll talk about the Indian affairs later. Should we intensify our offensive? In a few days, the rainy season will come. I heard that the rainy season will last for three months."
Sun Kewang said: "It's not easy to fight. The Dutch castle has four bastions. The walls are short and thick, and the artillery can't break them down. No matter which side you attack from, you will be hit by the enemy in the bastions. arrive."
Zhang Xianzhong said: "The usual method of digging ditches is not easy to use here. There are moats on all sides of the castle, and all the moats must be filled first. One side of the moat is also connected to the sea. The other two sides of the moat are connected to the Tiger Canal. Connected. It can¡¯t be directly filled there, but a canal must be dug first to divert the water from the Tiger Canal to another place to flow into the sea.¡±
Everyone was speechless.
If you want to fill the moat of the Dutch castle, the amount of work is not so large. You have to dig a canal to drain the water first, otherwise the city where the Datong Army is stationed will be flooded.
"Can it be flooded" Sun Jie said halfway, but he felt amused, "Well, pretend I didn't say it."
The castle is close to the sea, even if it is flooded, it will soon flow into the sea.
Everyone discussed repeatedly, but couldn't think of a good way, so they could only besieged until the castle ran out of food.
Tie Hong asked: "Do you want another night attack?"
"I'm afraid it's not easy to fight." Zhang Xianzhong shook his head.
At this moment, an officer in his twenties raised his hand.
The officer's name is Li Cunhui, and he is a missionary officer transferred from Liaodong. If there were casualties in the Luzon Datong Army, ordinary soldiers would supplement them on the spot, but mission officers were transferred from the mainland.
Li Cunhui said: "The cities of Liaodong Tartars also have sharp-edged enemy towers similar to bastions. Later, they learned from us to build bastions. I have participated in several siege battles. The difficulty of attacking bastions is that the besiegers are on the way to attack. , was bombarded by the defending artillery and caused a large number of casualties. However, the artillery of the siege side hardly caused damage to the defenders. I was in the army, and I have been teaching myself mathematics. I think this is a geometric problem.¡±
None of the people present understood.
Li Cunhui took out a small notebook and wrote and sketched: "Our army's previous trench digging was too complicated and the amount of work was too large. ???, everyone went back to summarize.
Sun Kewang said: "This method is really useful. But it can only hit the defenders on the city wall, not the defenders in the bastion."
Lieutenant General Zhan said: "It is enough to hit the defenders on the city wall. The bastions are dealt with by digging trenches, and the artillery suppresses the enemies on the city walls. When attacking the city, many people will be killed. If the city has no edges Fortress, with this bombardment method alone, the defenders dare not stand on the wall, so the siege can be taken easily?"
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, if there was such a method of firing artillery a month ago, why would we use night raids when we attacked Batavia?"
"It's not easy to win," Li Cunhui said, "but it can indeed reduce the casualties of the siege. I have been thinking about it when I was in Liaodong, but I didn't learn analytic geometry at that time. It was the bombardment of Batavia City. At that time, I had some ideas, and I finally figured it out two days ago."
The method is very good and can be promoted by the whole army, but it is useless against the bastion in front of us, mainly because the moat is too disgusting.
Of course, it can be knocked down with a little effort.
First excavate the canal and divert the water from the Tiger Canal to other places into the sea. Then fill the moat with negative soil, and then excavate z-shaped trenches on the edges and corners, build fortifications with extended parallel trenches, and suppress the city wall in a parallel and low elevation angle, so that the bastion can be forcibly attacked.
This offensive plan has to wait until the rainy season has passed.
If everything goes well, it should take three months from digging the canal to capturing the castle.
