Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 823 I Will Not Cause You Trouble

It was unexpected by the British colonists, but it was actually quite normal.

If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't traveled through time, he would have changed Daming by himself.So the Easterners are indeed far behind the West in terms of Taoism and artillery technology.

However, in this dimension, Emperor Chongzhen traveled through time and vigorously promoted natural knowledge. How could he not learn Taoism and other related knowledge that was so important in the military?Moreover, the Ming Dynasty already had this strength, which allowed the artillery to have enough training opportunities in peacetime, and it was still bearable even if a few cannons were destroyed through training.

Under such circumstances, the British warships were still moored at sea, so they naturally became the targets of the Ming army.Not to mention one shot is accurate, at least three shots are accurate, that is a bit embarrassing.

Seeing that several troop carrier warships were damaged by shelling, Max became anxious immediately, and regardless of the Mughal Empire infantry disembarking, he immediately waved the flag to make those warships retreat quickly.

The infantry of the Mughal Empire were already panicked, but when the battleship retreated, they became even more panicked. Immediately, they fell into the sea like a dumpling.

The coalition forces of the Mughal Empire and the United Kingdom attacked Mumbai for the first time, and it ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

This scene stunned Darashiko who was watching the battle.

He was full of joy, thinking about going to the island for a while, but in the end, they all fled back as soon as the guns were fired, what is this called?
He didn't care much about the casualties of the Mughal soldiers. What he cared about was that the Ming army won another battle, which made him lose face!
Therefore, when he saw Max hurried over, Darashiko did not give him a good look, and immediately shouted at him angrily: "Explain to me, what is going on? Is this called a war? You guys Aren't the British very powerful? Can they guarantee the destruction of the Ming army? You..."

Faced with his continuous questioning, to be honest, Max himself was a little embarrassed.But fortunately, those who can come out to be colonists are definitely thick-skinned.Therefore, he quickly calmed down, and taking advantage of Dara Shiko's opportunity to take a breath, he quickly explained: "Your Highness, the Great Prince, I'm really sorry, but we underestimated the strength of the Ming Army. But withdrawing does not mean that we will stop fighting. No, didn’t I come here to discuss military matters with His Highness the Prince?”

After venting for a while just now, Darashiko's mood has improved a lot.In fact, he is not stupid. He knows that the attack on Mumbai will not be possible without the help of the British. You can't turn your face just because you lost a battle!
Therefore, he asked coldly: "Now that you know the strength of the Ming army, tell me how to fight next!"

After hearing this, Max turned around to look at Mumbai, pointed at Mumbai, and said: "At the beginning, I have already tested that the strength of the warships of the Ming Dynasty is far less flexible than that of the British Empire. This point is fatal at sea. Therefore, if the warships of the Ming Dynasty dare to leave the port, I can guarantee to sink their warships!"

"What if they don't come out?" Darashiko couldn't help but ask sarcastically.

After hearing this, Max turned back to look at him and said: "The meaning of what I just said is that with the presence of our British Empire's warships, it is impossible for the Ming people in Bombay to escape. In other words, this is the turtle in the urn. We have discussed it, You can fight any way you want to break open this turtle shell. Of course, there is also a very simple and labor-saving way to capture Mumbai!"

After hearing this, Dara Xiko felt that he finally heard someone's words, and quickly asked: "What is a simple and labor-saving way? Tell me quickly!"

When Max heard this, he said with confidence: "As long as the fleet of my British Empire is there, I can surround and kill those Ming troops. When the fresh water and food on the island are exhausted, they will naturally be slaughtered by us!"

The seven islands of Mumbai are not very big, and naturally there will not be much fresh water on the islands, and even less food. As long as the siege continues, the Ming army will definitely find it very difficult.

I have to say that Max’s method is a good one, but Darashiko didn’t approve of it when he heard it, and immediately frowned and said: “That won’t work, the time is too long. What the king wants is a short time Nei Neng captured Mumbai and wiped out these Ming troops. The sooner the better, understand?"

Hearing this, Max didn't speak immediately, but just looked at the great prince of the Mughal Empire.After a while, he heard someone "humming" with dissatisfaction, and he came back to his senses, and had to remind: "Your Highness, the sooner you capture Mumbai, the more you will have to pay." The higher it is!"

Darashiko listened, turned his head and glanced at his men, looked at the face of the general of the Royal Forest Army, then looked at the face of the local governor, and then turned around and said to Max: "Isn't it just that some people died?" How can anyone not die in a war? How many troops do you want the king to send to cooperate, even though speaking, the king asked the governor to prepare!"

What this sentence actually means is that it doesn’t matter if the person dies, it’s the local people who die.His request is to capture Bombay as soon as possible and eliminate the Ming army!

The governor next to him couldn't understand the truth, he couldn't help but have a toothache.However, he had already pledged allegiance to the eldest prince, and also felt that the eldest prince had a high probability of being the future emperor of the Mughal Empire, so he accepted it.Anyway, there are a lot of untouchables in the local area, and they are worthless.

With this in mind, in order to show his loyalty in front of His Majesty the Great Prince, he immediately expressed his position after Dara Shiko finished speaking: "Tell me, how to fight, so that we can capture Bombay as soon as possible, eliminate the Ming army, and report victory to the Great Khan. ?”

After hearing this, Max blinked and finally understood. It turned out that the eldest prince was so anxious to destroy the Ming army just because he wanted to report victory to their emperor as soon as possible!
But if you don't care about the casualties and just want to report victory to the emperor, then I, the British, will not be able to do this for you!
Thinking of this, Max frowned, and said to Darashiko: "His Royal Highness should have seen it just now, my battleship is too big to reach the shore, if I stay there to send people, It will be bombarded by the artillery fire of the Ming army. Therefore, I suggest that your army can attack by small boats. As long as they are dispersed, the artillery fire of the Ming army will be difficult to concentrate. And I will send battleships to cover, so that we can attack."

When Darashiko heard this, he frowned, looked at Mumbai and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this!"

There were rivers in the Mughal Empire, the famous one being the Ganges.Therefore, some soldiers who can swim will definitely be selected in the army.Although the sea and the river are completely different.Even those soldiers who know how to swim will be afraid, but under the military order, they must be afraid.

So, just like that, the British contributed all the small boats on the battleship, a total of fifty small boats.Ten soldiers on each ship, with a total of [-] troops, under the cover of British warships, started the second round of attack.

Without the cover of the British warships, the Ming army dispatched warships to clean up those small boats.But this time, Li Dingguo didn't panic when he saw it on the island.It was dangerous when we fought against Jianlu!
But he also knows that he has a fatal flaw, that is, limited material reserves, including gunpowder.Therefore, for this attack of the enemy, he has not ordered shelling.

"Ho Ho Ho..." The soldiers of the Mughal Empire on the shore roared and cheered.

"Boom, boom, boom..." British warships were also covering and firing, but not as frequently as the first time.

And the Mughal soldiers on the fifty small boats were rowing desperately.

However, this is the sea, which is different from the river. When the waves come, the ups and downs of the boat are much more violent than the river.Although the Ming army did not fire artillery, they were still very nervous.As a result, something went wrong.

Some boats bumped into each other, and you blocked me, and I blocked you. In addition, there was also a boat that accidentally capsized two boats.

When Dalashiko on the shore saw this, he was so angry that he wanted to curse!
I don't know how long it took, but the Ming army never fired artillery, and the warship didn't sail out of the harbor, so the boat landed on an island closest to the coast.

Seeing the soldiers on the small boat disembark one after another, Darashiko finally breathed a sigh of relief. This method is okay, and he finally attacked.

Max, however, sees it differently.

The Ming army did not move at all, allowing the Mughal soldiers to attack, this is absolutely abnormal!
Thinking of this, he really wanted to send the warship there to cover those Mughal soldiers who had invaded the fortifications of the Ming army.But after thinking about it, he still gave up: the artillery of the Ming army is not really just placed there.

"Kill!" After setting foot on the ground, the Mughal soldiers became excited and shouted one after another. They held swords and guns and began to rush towards the Ming army fort not far away.

However, they had only rushed a little way when they saw a group of Ming soldiers coming out from the fort, holding flintlock guns and firing volleys in three stages very skillfully.

"Blah blah blah..."

In the smoke, gunshots rang out, and the charging Mughal soldiers fell down immediately.Those who survived either fell to the ground in fright, or turned around and ran back, even though the boat had turned around.

On the side of the Ming army, another team of pikemen was sent out, with five people as a small team, to meet those Mughal soldiers running around, and directly shot these Mughal soldiers in front of a large crowd of spectators. Stabbed on the shore.

In just a short while, Ming army soldiers were seen cleaning the battlefield on the shore.

Seeing this scene, Dalashiko was so angry that he threw something on the spot.When he met Max again, he just roared.

If he hadn't wanted to use this to open the door to the Mughal Empire, Max would have really wanted to shout: It's your own soldiers that are useless, and you're blaming me?
However, in the end he endured it, and said to Darashiko: "The Ming army is elite, and your army landed on the island with too few people at one time, so it doesn't work at all. Therefore, I suggest to His Royal Highness, to build a raft and Only by transporting more soldiers ashore can we hope to capture Mumbai. As for the warships of the Ming Dynasty, don’t worry, they will definitely not cause you any trouble.”
