Royal Gold Magistrate

The war continues.

For more than ten days in a row, the situation has obviously changed again.

The Templars are obviously not satisfied with harassing tactics.

In the past few days, they often started to push the cannons forward to attack actively when the opponent was throwing shit at each other.

Each time, a group of five people stepped forward, braved the artillery fire from Fika, and tried to break through the city gate.

There are at least hundreds of groups of people in each attack, and more than half of them are naturally fake.

They held branches and disguised them as cannons with wood to harass Fika's sight.

In fact, this way of disguising did cause a lot of trouble to Lai Gou'er.

Even if there is a telescope to observe, there are too many people appearing on the other side, and it is still difficult to distinguish them.

The enemy's position can only be determined by waiting for the firing, which also caused many shells to hit the city gate.

The city gate was battered and riddled with holes, but fortunately the back of the city gate had been blocked, coupled with constant repairs, the opposite side did not dare to approach easily for a while.

However, Dajing's side was not all fruitless. According to observations, at least half of the artillery on the opposite side was destroyed.

But Dajing's shells are also extremely consumed.

Lai Gou'er was commanding at the top of his lungs: "Reduce the shelling, wait for the opponent to move first, confirm the position before firing, and only aim at the opponent's cannon."

"The rest wait, wait until they get close and shoot with muskets..."

He was constantly deploying, and his subordinates suddenly came to report, shouting: "Report! My lord, the wooden barrels in the city have almost been used up and are not enough."

Lai Gou'er took advantage of the small gap in the opponent's offensive and said loudly: "There are several warehouses on Balin Street, which are dedicated to storing bamboo tubes and coconut shells. Go and bring me all the things inside!"

"If it's all cleaned up, throw all the rubble and rubbish in the city!"

As the world's largest juicer production base, the containers for 'items' are obviously sufficient.

The subordinate responded and quickly ran down the city wall.

Lai Gouer continued to monitor the battle situation.

On the opposite side, General Maud put his hands on his hips, looking at the position of the crenel of the city wall, constantly calculating in his heart.

The attack frequency of the God's Punishment Weapon on the other side has slowed down significantly, which shows that the stock is running out.

Right now, his military training is going very smoothly.

According to this momentum, it may be possible to attack on a large scale in ten days and a half months.

It's a pity that too many God's Punishment weapons were severely damaged, and the speed of breaking through the city gate was slowed down.

"Judge, give me a month, and taking this city won't be a problem! I figured it out, the fleet we went back to ask for reinforcements should have besieged Fika port by now."

"Wait until the opponent's God's Punishment Weapon continues to be consumed, then you can flank him inside and outside, breaking through in one fell swoop!"

The presiding judge was out of his mind: "Hit as you like."

Anyway, it won't get better once he goes back, so he simply started to mess up.

Seeing his virtue, Maud snorted coldly and stopped paying attention.

The trash from the church has no other skills except eating, drinking, and messing around.

I really don't know how the Pope sent such a thing to the battlefield.

Suddenly, a familiar and dense sound came faintly to General Moder's ears.

Maude frowned, looked at the presiding judge and asked, "Did you hear a strange sound coming? It seemed like a sound of divine punishment."

The presiding judge was stunned: "Hasn't God's punishment been used all the time?"

On the battlefield, both sides were firing cannons at the same time, and there was no sound other than the sound of cannons.

Maude raised his hand to signal him to keep quiet, his eyes were a little wary.

After waiting for a while without hearing the strange sound, he slowly put down his hands and said, "It didn't come from the city wall... It seems to be far away, you really didn't hear it?"

The presiding judge shook his head: "Then I don't know, auditory hallucinations?"

Maude nodded, no longer entangled.

Perhaps it was the first time he had come into contact with a weapon like God's Punishment, and he hadn't gotten used to such strange movements on the battlefield.

At this moment, Lai Gou'er also stopped on the city wall and looked back.

Just now it seemed that there was a faint sound of cannon coming from the direction of the sea...but there was also a cannon ringing beside my ear, I don't know if I heard it wrong.

Shaking his head, his spirit returned to the front.

The two sides are still fighting fiercely.

The two sides fought directly for more than two hours before there were any signs of stopping.

The city gate below was shot into by more than a dozen shells.

Just as Lai Gouer was about to rest for a while, the figure of Duke Alves appeared from the side of the city wall in a hurry.

An unexpected person followed behind him.

Lai Gou'er got up quickly, his eyes rolled out, and he said pleasantly, "Brother Zheng!"

It was Zheng Hui who came, and an interpreter followed behind him.

Seeing that Lai Gou'er took the initiative to greet him, Zheng Hui took a step back calmly and looked down the city along the observation port.

His face suddenly turned pale and white.

Damn.... No wonder there was a stench as soon as we arrived in Fika. How the hell did the war get like this?

Lai Gou'er stopped, looked at Zheng Hui and said, "Brother Zheng, why are you here?"

Zheng Hui said: "The imperial court sent me here to make friends with Fei Ka to show sincerity."

"When I came here, I happened to meet the reinforcements stationed there, so we came together."

"Speaking of luck, when I came here, there were three ships preparing to block the port here. Seeing our fleet coming, not only did not retreat, but they took the initiative to meet them."

"Did you shoot the cannon on the beach just now?" Lai Gou'er said happily.

Zheng Hui nodded: "Yes, a group of idiots on the opposite side attacked from both sides and planned to outflank our main ship, and it was sunk in one round."

"We handed over the remaining ship and it is docking at the port."

After Zheng Hui finished speaking, he first said to the Duke: "Duke, I am here in person this time to establish diplomatic relations with your country by the order of the court. The court has long been aware of the church affairs, so I have to make more preparations and occupy your country's port It is absolutely necessary."

"But Dajing is a country of etiquette, and it will never be violently occupied, so this time I deliberately brought two ships of goods as the fee for renting your port. In the future, Dajing also hopes to continue to strengthen exchanges with Feika."

As he spoke, he took out the letter of credence from his pocket and handed it to the Duke.

The eyes of Duke Alves turned bright, looked at the credentials excitedly, and nodded repeatedly.

Surprise, what a surprise!

Originally, Feika had already given up the port because of the opponent's force.

Unexpectedly, Dajing was so benevolent and sent two shipments of goods as compensation.

Then this moral level is much higher than that of the church!

Clearly a great partner... maybe he paid for it!

Thinking of this, the Duke's face was radiant.

He hastily thanked him and said, "Thank you, General, but the city is in some difficulties right now, so it's not easy to treat the hostesses until the enemy army is repelled, and then we can hold a banquet. There are still many things in the city that I need to arrange, so I won't bother the general first."

Zheng Hui nodded, and Duke Alves left happily.

After he left, Zheng Hui immediately asked Lai Gou'er, "How is the battle going?"
