The war continues.
After more than ten days, the situation obviously changed again.
The Temple Army was obviously no longer satisfied with harassing tactics.
In the past few days, every time the other party throws shit at each other, they start to push the cannon forward and attack actively.
Each time, a group of five people stepped forward, braving the artillery fire and water coming from Feka, and tried to blast through the city gate.
There are at least a hundred groups of people in each attack, and naturally more than half of them are fake.
They took branches and wood disguised as cannons to harass Fika's line of sight.
In fact, this method of disguise did cause Lai Gouer a lot of trouble.
Even if you have a telescope for observation, there are so many people on the other side that it is still difficult to distinguish.
The enemy's position could only be determined after the cannon was fired, which also resulted in many shells hitting the city gate.
The city gate was riddled with holes. Fortunately, the city gate hole at the back had been blocked, and with constant repairs, the other side didn't dare to move forward easily.
However, it was not all without gains on Dajing's side. According to observations, at least half of the artillery on the opposite side was destroyed.
But the artillery shells on Dajing's side were also extremely depleted.
Lai Gouer was commanding in a hoarse voice: "Reduce the artillery fire, wait for the opponent to move first, confirm the position before firing, and only aim at the opponent's cannon."
"The rest of them will wait and shoot with their muskets when they get close..."
He was constantly deploying, and his subordinates suddenly came to report and shouted: "Report! Sir, the barrels in the city are almost exhausted and there is not enough."
Lai Gou'er took advantage of the slight break in the opponent's attack and shouted loudly: "There are several warehouses on Balin Street that are dedicated to storing bamboo tubes and coconut shells. Go and bring me all the things inside!"
"If it's all gone, throw away all the rubble and rubbish in the city!"
As the world's largest fish engineering juicer production base, the container for holding 'items' is obviously sufficient.
The subordinate responded and quickly ran down the city wall.
Lai Gouer continued to monitor the battle situation.
General Maude on the opposite side had his hands on his hips and looked at the crenellations of the city wall in the distance, constantly making calculations in his mind.
The attack frequency of the opponent's God's Punishment weapon has obviously slowed down, which shows that the inventory is running low.
At the moment, his troop training is going extremely smoothly.
If this momentum continues, a large-scale attack may be possible in another ten days and a half.
Unfortunately, too many weapons of divine punishment were seriously damaged, and the speed of breaking through the city gate was slowed down.
"President, give me a month. It will not be a problem to capture this city! I have calculated that the fleet we are going back to ask for reinforcements should have surrounded the port of Fika by now."
"When the opponent's divine punishment weapon continues to be consumed, we can attack it from both inside and outside and defeat it in one fell swoop!"
The chief judge was wandering in the world: "Fight as much as you like."
Anyway, he couldn't get better once he returned, so he simply started to mess up.
Seeing his virtue, Maude snorted coldly and paid no more attention to him.
The trash that comes from the church has no other skills except eating, drinking, pooping, and giving random orders.
I really don’t know why the Pope sent such a thing to the battlefield.
Suddenly, a familiar and dense sound faintly reached General Maude's ears.
Maud frowned, looked at the presiding judge and asked, "Did you hear any strange sounds coming from you? It sounded like the sound of divine punishment."
The presiding judge was stunned: "Isn't divine punishment always used?"
On the battlefield, both sides were firing at each other with cannons at the same time, and there was no other sound except the sound of cannons.
Maud raised her hand to signal him to be quiet, her eyes a little wary.
After waiting for a while and not hearing the strange sound, he slowly lowered his hand and said, "It didn't come from the city wall...it seemed to be very far away. Did you really not hear it?"
The presiding judge shook his head: "Then I don't know. Are you hallucinating?"
Maude nodded and stopped worrying.
Perhaps it was his first time coming into contact with a weapon like God's Punishment, and it hadn't been long enough for him to get used to such strange movements on the battlefield.
At this moment, Lai Gouer also stopped and looked back at the city wall.
Just now it seemed that there was a faint sound of cannon coming from the direction of the seaside...but there was also a cannon ringing in my ears. I don't know if I heard it wrong.
Shaking his head, his spirit returned to the front.
The two sides were still fighting fiercely.
The two sides fought for more than two hours before there was any sign of stopping.
The city gate below was hit by more than a dozen cannonballs.
Just as Lai Gouer was about to rest for a while, the figure of Duke Alves hurriedly appeared from the side of the city wall.
There was an unexpected person following behind.
Lai Gouer stood up in a hurry, his eyes rolled out, and he said in surprise: "Brother Zheng!"
The person who came was none other than Zheng Hui, with a translator behind him.
Seeing Lai Gouer taking the initiative to greet him, Zheng Hui calmly took a step back and looked down the city along the observation port.
His face suddenly turned blue and white.
Damn... No wonder there was a stench as soon as we arrived in Fika. Why the hell did the war end like this?
Lai Gouer stopped, looked at Zheng Hui and said, "Brother Zheng, why are you here?"
Zheng Huidao: "The imperial court sent me here to make friends with Feika to show sincerity."
"When I came here, I happened to bump into the reinforcements stationed at the station, so we came together."
"I'm lucky. When I came here, I encountered three ships preparing to blockade the port here. When they saw our fleet coming, they not only did not retreat, but took the initiative to greet them."
"Did you shoot the cannon on the beach just now?" Lai Gouer said happily.
Zheng Hui nodded: "Yes, a group of idiots on the opposite side attacked from both sides and prepared to outflank our main ship, but they were blown up and sunk in one round."
"We have surrendered the remaining ship, which is parked at the port."
After Zheng Hui finished speaking, he said to the Duke: "Duke, I am here in person to establish diplomatic relations with your country on the order of the imperial court. The imperial court has already known about the church affairs, so it had to make more preparations and occupy the ports of your country. It’s really out of necessity.”
"But Dajing is a country of etiquette and will never be used roughly, so this time I specially brought two shipments of goods as payment for renting your country's port. In the future, I, Dajing, also hope to continue to strengthen exchanges with Fika."
As he spoke, he took out his credentials from his arms and handed them to the Duke.
Duke Alves' eyes were shining brightly, he looked at the credentials excitedly and nodded repeatedly.
Surprise, what a surprise!
Originally, Feka had given up the port because of the other party's force.
Unexpectedly, Dajing was so benevolent and even sent two shipments of goods as compensation.
I don’t know how much higher this moral level is than the church!
Obviously a great partner... maybe he paid for it after all!
The Duke's face glowed at the thought.
He quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you, General. However, there are some difficulties in the city right now. It is difficult to provide hospitality. We will hold a banquet after the enemy troops are defeated. There are still many things in the city that need me to arrange, so I won't disturb the General first."
Zheng Hui nodded, and Duke Alves left happily.
After he left, Zheng Hui immediately asked Lai Gouer: "How is the war situation now?"
