Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 665
After some discussion, Lu Jiude and Zheng Zhibao came up with a new strategy.

Afterwards, Zheng Zhibao asked the Portuguese to continue negotiating with the Spaniard.

Above the city of Manila, Chakun, the Spanish governor in Luzon, has been observing the movement of the Ming army with the help of a binoculars.

To be honest, he was still a little apprehensive.

Just now these Ming people who were hostages actually shouted to let the Ming army outside the city leave them alone and attack the city directly. In this way, will the Ming army outside the city have an excuse to ignore these Ming people who are hostages? , really have to attack the city?

If he really had to attack the city, with so many Ming troops, even if he could kill several times the number of enemies, there were too many troops outside the city!

Whether this battle can really be carried out according to his plan until the Ming army's food and supplies are exhausted is definitely a question!
If the Ming army outside the city is concerned about the hostages, it will take a day to delay. If it continues like this, it will be very sure that he will hold Manila.

Thinking of this in his heart, Cha Kun felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he should have shut the mouths of these smart people from the very beginning!

It was really unexpected that these Ming people were not afraid of death, instead of begging the Ming army outside the city to save them, they wanted the Ming army outside the city to attack the city!
These orientals are really ruthless when they are ruthless. Unlike the natives in other places, they are a little bit wrong!
He was thinking about it when he saw the Portuguese envoy coming again, so he immediately listened with his ears up.

"Listen well, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty have said it, but you didn't say that you slaughtered the people of Ming Dynasty, and now you are threatening the people of Ming Dynasty again. God is very angry. You have two days to surrender, otherwise God will surely bring disaster to you!"

After the Portuguese shouted, he felt uncomfortable, so he immediately added: "This God is the God of the East, don't get me wrong!"

Hearing this, the Spaniards on the top of the city looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and laughed immediately.

"Return the God of the East, if you have the ability, come out and have a look!"

"If the God of the East really exists, why didn't he come out a few times ago, and why didn't he bring disasters?"

"Haha, I'm so scared, the God of the East has indeed sent disaster, and my pocket has become heavy!"

"No, this disaster is so terrible, I almost couldn't walk in those days!"

"..."

Not only these people, including Cha Kun, also laughed.

He could tell that the Ming people were afraid of these hostages and did not dare to really attack the city, so they used such deceptive words to scare them!

However, who can travel thousands of miles to the east, who would believe such deceitful nonsense?

God?God was used to fool the natives of the East, and he came to frighten them. Isn't that a rush to the doctor?

Those natives on the top of the city, seeing the Spaniards laughing so much, couldn't understand them, they were very curious, and asked what was said just now.

After they understood, they laughed one by one.

Anyway, they have never seen that God will punish the noble Spaniards. This is absolutely false, so there is no way out!
Compared to their ridicule, those Lusong Ming people who were detained at the top of the city and had been gagged, burst into tears.

The imperial army cared about their lives and really came to make decisions for them, but now, they were forced by these damn Spaniards with their lives to say such words!

He Dehe Neng is so valued by the imperial court!

At this moment, their approval of the imperial court has never been higher than before.It can even be said that at this moment, they probably agree with the imperial court more than most people in the country!
Actually, let’s not talk about them, even the Portuguese who came to deliver the letter felt that Zheng Zhibao asked him to spread the word, which is really nonsense. It’s okay to deceive a three-year-old child. How can it be possible to deceive these Spaniards when the two armies are facing each other!

"Go back and tell your master, just say that we Spaniards are so scared, just wait for two days to see a miracle!"

Hearing this and seeing the sneering faces on the top of the wall, the Portuguese didn't want to stay in the city any longer, so they hurried back to the mission and told Zheng Zhibao, "They said, wait for two days to see the miracle!"

After Zheng Zhibao heard this, he didn't say anything, and ordered the army to besiege on the spot, and then the land and the fleet were all prepared for the upcoming turnaround of the earth dragon.

When the military order was passed down, many people felt that it was a bit ridiculous.No, Zeng Ying, who was busy on the fleet side, rushed to the Chinese military tent to ask the situation: "What's going on, won't it make people laugh out loud when this kind of military order is spread?"

I have never seen or heard of such a thing before, and if it is reported back to China, people will definitely laugh at it.

In this regard, Zheng Zhibao had no choice but to say: "You don't have to worry about it, I will be responsible for all the consequences!"

Lieutenant general, commonly known as deputy chief soldier, although it is an adverb, it is not really a deputy, but also similar to chief soldier, in charge of a party's troops.The relationship between Zheng Zhibao and Zeng Ying is not a real superior-subordinate relationship, but more like a half-level colleague.

Not to mention, Zeng Yingcai was a serious official of the imperial court. He had made military exploits before and was transferred to the Luzon Expeditionary Army.

As for Zheng Zhibao himself, he has not yet realized his own weight, and he feels that he can get the position of the commander of the expeditionary force more because of the Zheng family and because of his brother Zheng Zhilong.Therefore, when he faced Zeng Ying, he lacked confidence.

Another point, when he was discussing with Lu Jiude just now, to be honest, they were not fully sure that Dilong would turn around tomorrow night.Therefore, this matter cannot be said to be said by the emperor now, if there is no earth dragon to turn over, it will damage the emperor's face, which is not allowed by Lu Jiude.It can only be said by Zheng Zhibao, if there is really no Dilong turning around, this blame will be Zheng Zhibao's back.

At this moment, Zeng Ying was still unconvinced after hearing Zheng Zhibao's answer, and felt that it was a bit of a joke, so she went to the supervisor, but Lu Jiude just said lightly: "Our family doesn't care about how to attack the city. But Our family feels that the army has come from afar, and the soldiers have worked hard, so it is okay to take a rest."

Although there is no explicit approval, the position is stated.Zeng Ying had no choice but to follow suit.

But after Zheng Zhibao heard it from the side, he felt a little bit slandering towards the eunuch in his heart: the matter of Dilong's turning over was completely dismissed, and if Dilong really didn't turn over in the future, he really had to bear the blame!
Thinking of this, he can only pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that the emperor will make the earth dragon turn around, and there will be!
Therefore, the Ming army no longer attacked the city, but prepared for the upcoming turnaround of the earth dragon, and by the way, it was considered a rest.

The Portuguese in the team did not dare to speak publicly, but once there were no Ming soldiers around them, they began to talk in their native language.

"I really didn't expect that this Zheng Zhibao turned out to be such a person, far worse than his brother!"

"No, if Zheng Zhilong were here, he would never scare those Spaniards with reasons that he doesn't even believe!"

"That's right, God sent disasters, I've never seen them in my life! Who are you lying to?"

"..."

It can be said that the entire Luzon side, including Zheng Zhibao himself, is actually skeptical.The biggest difference may be that there are more doubts or fewer problems.

Just like that, the night passed without incident.

The Spaniards and the natives on the top of the city of Manila laughed at the movement of the Ming army in the distance.

The Ming army has been busy all the time, mainly because it takes time to arrange the warships to ensure that if the earth dragon really turns over, the warships will not be lost.Of course, they were actually only carrying out military orders, and they might not believe in Dilong's turnaround in their hearts.

One day will soon pass by.

In the evening, the Spanish Governor Chakun even went to the top of the city to check the situation.

For him, the Ming army's situation of besieging but not attacking is the best.

Sometimes, he wondered if the commander-in-chief of the Ming army was out of his mind, using such absurd reasons to consume the food and supplies they brought?If it weren't for the bright people outside the city with yellow skin and black eyes, he would have even thought that they were undercover agents from Spain!
Looking at the Ming army outside the city, Cha Kun suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

Do you want to cooperate with that funny Ming army commander, and when it gets dark at night, send people to make some noise in the city, pretending that this Eastern God has brought disasters.

In this way, you can fool the Ming army outside the city and continue to find reasons to drag it on?

The more Cha Kun thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very good!

Seeing that the setting sun was about to set, he didn't wait any longer. As a soldier, doing what he said was the style he should have.

So, he immediately called his subordinates and began to make arrangements.

His subordinates heard this, and they all flattered him. After this battle is over, it will definitely become a classic battle!And Chakun must be the hero of the Spaniards.

As night fell, Cha Kun was in no mood to stay up late and wait to see if the threat from the Ming general would become a reality in the remaining time, so he fell asleep early.

And his subordinates have already divided several houses in the city, sprinkled them with fire starters, and set them on fire when they turned around, pretending that the fire in the city was a disaster from the God of the East, so that they could fool those fools outside the city at dawn up!
They didn't know that there were 5000 soldiers outside the city, and they had been counted. They were divided into two teams of [-] soldiers, and they were preparing to attack Manila after the earth dragon turned around.

However, they all have a question in their hearts, will they really be able to turn themselves over tonight?
But why didn't I feel it at all!Isn't the old man a legend that there will be omens before the earth dragon turns over?What blood is filling the sky, or are birds and beasts scrambling for their lives?

But none of these!
Believe it or not, the night was getting darker.
