Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 1017 Horror Trap

Luanda finally arrived. The Duke of Weimar breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the undamaged city and the port, and at the quiet car formation on both sides.

Fortunately, they arrived in time, Luanda has not yet fallen, and they still have a chance to organize a counterattack and drive away the chariot soldiers of the West African Kingdom.

Turenne, who had heard the news on the pier, had long been looking forward to it, but his expression was not very good.

Because what he saw were only a hundred ships and warships.

Even if this battleship is full of people, there will be at most a hundred thousand reinforcements, not to mention that they are not full at all.

What the hell do Dutch, British, Swedish and Danish mean?
What's the use of this reinforcement?

Soon, the flagship of the Duke of Weimar docked at the pier.

Turenne went up to meet him somewhat disappointed, pretending to bow and salute: "Your Highness, thank you for leading the army to help."

The Duke of Weimar nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "How is it, how is the situation, how many troops does the enemy have?"

Turenne simply said seriously: "The enemy besieged the city with about 50 troops, and they didn't seem to dare to attack the city, so they chose to besiege.

In fact, even if they attack the city, I can defend it, but now the mining of copper mines and the harvesting of rubber have to stop. "

Why are you a little bit weird.

The Duke of Weimar was stunned for a moment and then he understood. People thought he had brought tens of thousands of reinforcements.

He explained helplessly: "Tirena, don't worry, my 5 horses are just the vanguard of emergency rescue, and there are 35 horses behind who are rushing past on thousands of sailing ships.

You also know that sailing ships are not very fast when the wind direction is wrong. I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand it, so I brought 5 people here first. "

It turned out to be like this, 40 reinforcements plus his nearly 30 horses, that's nearly 70. It shouldn't be a problem to repel the 50 chariots.

When Turenne heard this, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not afraid that if I can't get rid of these chariots, everyone will completely cut off the source of rubber and copper."

Duke Weimar nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, we also know that Angola cannot be lost. No matter what, we will definitely help you drive away these chariot soldiers."

Turenne was relieved, Taichang frowned after receiving the news.

At this moment, he has already returned to the mouth of the Congo River on his flagship. More than [-] flying dragon warships have been sent out by him to investigate the news. They have already gathered here, and they are already ready to collect the net.

The problem is that the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark sent a total of [-] warships and tens of thousands of reinforcements, which is far from their expectations.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "Mingshi, what do you think should be done?
They sent tens of thousands of reinforcements to help defend the city. Should we feign an attack and scare them? "

Zhang Mingshi thought about it carefully, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I think that they should be the vanguard.

The importance of Angola must be clear to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Denmark. They will either save their strength and not come to support them.

Because this is meaningless, even if they stay in Luanda for ten or eight years, they will not get any rubber and copper ore.

Therefore, since they have come to support, they will definitely find a way to help Turenne drive away the 50 chariots led by Chao Jie.

These tens of thousands of reinforcements are obviously not enough to counterattack. They should have too few ships and warships, so they can only bring so few people over first.

Weichen estimated that there must be a lot of sailboats behind. "

Makes sense.

People either don't come, and if they do, they will definitely support them with all their strength.

Otherwise, what's the point of sending such a few reinforcements over?
Taichang nodded slightly, thought carefully, and then said decisively: "Order, order Yuanfang to send fifty flying dragon warships to the south of Luanda to check to see if there are any large reinforcements from the enemy behind. "

Originally, he thought that there would be a lot of reinforcements from the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark as soon as they arrived, and they would be able to close the net by then.

So, he just sent the Wyvern to cruise north of Luanda.

After all, if the Flying Dragon Warship had to go south of Luanda to investigate, it would be at least a thousand miles away, and it might not be possible to make a round trip in a day, and it didn't make much sense to delay the news for a day, so he didn't let Zhang Yuanfang command it. The flying dragon warship went around to the south of Luanda to investigate.

However, it is different now.

If someone is following a sailboat, the speed must be very slow, and there is still time to prepare the news after a day's delay.

Moreover, he must confirm whether there are reinforcements behind the enemy.

Otherwise, there is no point in waiting here.

After Zhang Yuanfang dispatched fifty flying dragon warships to the south of Luanda, news came back soon.

It turned out that the remaining nearly 10 troops of the French had assembled in the port city five or six hundred miles south of Luanda, and at this moment they had received news that they were advancing to Luanda by land.

Obviously, there must be reinforcements behind the enemy, otherwise, with more than 30 horses, no matter what, it would be impossible to surpass 50 chariots.

Sure enough, the next day, Zhang Yuanfang sent someone back to report that there were more than a thousand sailing ships heading to Luanda, with tens of thousands of people on board, and it was more than 10 miles away from Luanda.

now it's right!

Obviously, the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark have already been tricked. They have mobilized all the people they can mobilize, and they are desperately trying to get into their trap.

After this wave of reinforcements is cleared up, the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark will definitely not send reinforcements, and they will not be able to send reinforcements anymore.

It's time to close the net!

Taichang immediately ordered people to call back Zhang Yuanfang, Zheng Hongkui and Zhang Hengchuan, and also called Nan Juyi, Zhang Mingshi, Zuma and Atlanta to discuss a specific battle plan.

He stared at the map for a while, and then asked: "Yuan Fang, what is the speed of the thousand sailing ships behind the enemy, and how long will it take to reach Luanda?"

Zhang Yuanfang reckoned: "With their speed, they probably won't be able to arrive tomorrow, and they probably won't arrive until the morning of the day after tomorrow."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Yuan Fang, after a while, order the clippers to send orders to mobilize all the Feilong warships to the waters north of Luanda, and closely monitor the port of Luanda. Once the enemy's follow-up reinforcements start to land , and launched an attack with rockets.”

This one.

Zhang Yuanfang thought about it carefully, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid they will turn around and run away in this way. Shall we attack at halfway, and launch an attack after roughly half of them have landed?"

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "That's fine, you can decide when to attack."

Zhang Yuanfang hastily cupped his hands and said, "The general will understand."

Taichang then ordered: "Hong Kui, get ready, lead all the Spike warships and armed merchant ships to attack early tomorrow morning, first hide behind the Flying Dragon warship, once the attack starts, rush up immediately, and try to kill the enemy's warships." All ships remain."

Zheng Hongkui hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I will understand in the end."

Taichang then ordered: "Hengchuan, early tomorrow morning you will spread out the 200 million people behind, and with Luanda as the center, form a semicircular encirclement with a radius of a hundred miles.

Once the navy fleet launches an attack, they immediately shrink to the middle, don't let an enemy go! "

At this moment, the periphery of Angola has been controlled by them, and the French dare not send out scouts to investigate, so they seem to be able to act recklessly.

However, there seems to be a small loophole.

Zhang Hengchuan thought for a while, and reminded cautiously: "Your Majesty, there are still about [-] reinforcements on the enemy's land, rushing to the south of Luanda.

The general has already sent someone to watch them. According to their progress, it will be about a hundred miles south of Luanda tomorrow. If we surround them, they may find us. "

Hearing this, Taichang thought about it carefully, and then pointed to the map and said: "You can use the cavalry on the south side, go around a hundred miles behind them first, and seal it when they enter the encirclement."

Zhang Hengchuan hastily cupped his hands and said, "The general will understand."

At the end of the meeting, a terrifying giant net was slowly opened, and 200 million troops and thousands of ships surrounded Luanda quietly.

If the Duke of Weimar and Turenne could fly to the sky to see it, they would absolutely freak out.

Unfortunately, they can't fly to the sky.

Right now they are standing on the city wall south of Luanda discussing how to repel the 50 chariots outside the city.

The Duke of Weimar held up his binoculars to scan for a while, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "The position of the enemy's car array is also too good, it is about six miles away from the city wall and the coastline, and our warships have no way to support it with artillery.

It seems that there is only a hard attack. As long as we can defeat the phalanx in the south, our troops will be able to gather outside the city. "

The position of the enemy's car array is indeed annoying, not only this one, but the other four.

Because they have blocked all the gates of the city, once they leave the city, they will be shot by other people's shells.

Turenne frowned and said, "You mean the 10 people in the south to attack first?"

The Duke of Weimar said helplessly: "What else should we do?
The enemy has completely blocked the gates of the city. Even if our reinforcements enter the city, there is no way to get out. If they go out, they will have to eat shells.

Even if our reinforcements don't enter the city, we can't rush through the gap between the city wall and the coast. They have already locked their positions, and as long as we show our heads, we will have to eat shells.

In this case, you can only let the 10 people from the south of you attack first and attract their firepower, otherwise our reinforcements will not be able to gather outside the city at all. "

Alas, okay, it seems that the 10 horses in the south are about to be disabled.

Turenne frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I will let the 10 people coming from the south attack first.

However, your reinforcements must rush up from the coastline and the city gate in time to launch a siege, otherwise the 10 troops in the south of us may be killed or injured.

You also know that the car formation is not easy to attack, not to mention that there are one or two thousand artillery pieces in their car formation. "

Of course I know this.

The problem is that we are here to help, so you don't have to use half of your strength, and you want our reinforcements to attack hard?
Duke Weimar was rather displeased and said, "Can't you cooperate and attack from the south gate? Our reinforcements can directly attack south from the coastline, which saves the effort of entering the city."

Turenne pretended to be serious and said: "There are not only the 40 chariots outside the city, but also [-] enemy chariots at the west gate, north gate, southwest corner, and northwest corner. Onslaught from other directions.

What if Luanda is lost? "

Why are you French so stinky?

Of course the Duke of Weimar knew that Turenne wanted to preserve his strength.

As for the defense of the city wall, they can completely replace the 20 French troops on the city wall with 20 reinforcements. This is not a reason.

However, doing so is prone to problems. If people launch a fierce attack while they are changing defenses, it will be a mess.

He thought about it carefully, and finally he could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, our reinforcements will rush out first, and we'll talk about defeating the [-] chariots in the south."

They are still thinking about counterattacking, but they don't know that this is a terrifying trap. Once the reinforcements arrive, they will be finished.

They don't have to think about counterattack at all, it's not bad if they can save their lives!
