Weihaiwei Port.
"Quick, quick, quick, set up a defensive position!”
"Make way for the Liu Clan Island Thousand Households Office!”
The entire port was busy. As soon as the 30 warships of the navy appeared in the Weihaiwei port, the people on the Weihaiwei port shouted in panic,"The pirates are here!"
All of them abandoned their tools and fled in a frenzy. The guards stationed at the dock threw away their armor and turned around to flee into the Weihai Guards seven or eight li away, hurriedly closing the city gates.
There were still many people outside the city who were blocked and could not enter the city. They cried and screamed as they opened the door, but no matter what they did, they could not open the door. They cried and screamed anxiously.
At the gate of Weihai Wei, it was a mess, even more chaotic than when the Liu Family Island Army landed.
Without any obstruction, hundreds of navy soldiers walked out from the warships and easily occupied the port. They also quickly set up a beach-seizing position.
The worst part of a landing battle was a beach battle. As long as the defenders resisted firmly, it was easy to drive the navy off the beach. However, the Weihai Guards had long lost their will to fight. When they saw the densely packed warships, they were scared out of their wits.
All of them ran away while crying.
Before they could fight, they had already collapsed.
Let the Liu Clan Island Army land smoothly!
As the navy set up a beach-grabbing position, the thousand men of the Liu Clan Island Thousand Households Institute began to seize the time to land.
During this period, there were no accidents. The entire army of the Thousand Households Institute went ashore and expanded their defense range to a few miles away.
After that, 10,000 farmers who were working landed one after another.
All kinds of resources, personnel, weapons, and equipment were moved ashore.
Fortunately, there was a ready-made port. Otherwise, it would have taken several days to move so many people and supplies ashore.
But now, it only took half a day!
In this half a day, the Thousand Households did not do nothing. Instead, they bypassed the Weihai Guard Station and began to attack the outer strongholds of the Weihai Guard. They wiped out the Hundred Households and Thousand Households and chased all the soldiers into the Weihai Guard.
As the outer strongholds were taken, the entire Weihai Wei was surrounded and had become a piece of fat meat in their mouths.
The Thousand Households Institute of the Liu Clan Island did not attack the city immediately. Instead, they waited for Lin Feng's arrival.
Weihaiwei Wharf.
A warship slowly approached and docked at the dock.
The deck of the ship was placed on the dock. Lin Feng walked out of the warship under the escort of his personal guards and landed on land.
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the tens of thousands of farmers busily expanding the dock and building warehouses.
These farmers were all pulled out from the construction team and the mines. They worked quickly and well. It could be said that these 10,000 people were all professional engineers.
When it came to fighting, he might not be as powerful as he imagined, but when it came to work, he was truly the best in the world.
There was no one more powerful than them.
With these farmers working, the regular army, which was the main force of the battle, could also save energy and conserve their strength so that they could fight better later.
Other things aside, in the era of cold weapons, fighting was really exhausting.
The saber in his hand, the armor on his body, which one of them didn't require strength to withstand?
In battle, one needed to charge and kill people, which consumed a lot of strength.
Even in the era of thermal weapons, digging trenches and withstanding the recoil of muskets still required a lot of effort.
Lin Feng had his own unique understanding of combat.
The battle against Weihai Wei was the first battle since the establishment of his army. Lin Feng couldn't sit in the lord's manor and wait for news. He needed to be on the battlefield personally.
Witnessing the combat methods of this era, he could adjust his own military establishment at any time!
He would seek truth from facts and make strategic plans based on the actual situation.
Although the tactical aspect was carried out by the officers under him, the strategic aspect still needed Lin Feng to control it himself.
"My lord, the Weihai Guards fled at the sight of us. We didn't attack and easily occupied the dock. The Thousand Households Institute of Liu Clan Island had completed the task of occupying the outer stronghold of Weihai Wei and surrounding it in half a day!”
Navy Commander Ling Yun reported.
These farmers and soldiers produced by the system all had their own names. Lin Feng did not need to think about them one by one, saving him a lot of trouble.
Lin Feng nodded his head as he listened to Ling Yun's report." The Ming army is indeed rotten. Although we did a good job, it was also largely due to the decay of the Ming army that we were able to land so easily this time. We must not be complacent. We still need to pay attention to it. If there is anything wrong, continue to change it. If there is something lacking, then improve it. Find the problem and solve it!”
"Yes, my lord!"
Ling Yun nodded.
Seeing Ling Yun's serious expression, Lin Feng didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and said,"Let's go and take a look at the situation at the front line!”
Escorted by a hundred guards, they walked towards the frontline command post.
The frontline command center was built on a high ground a few miles away from Weihai Wei. They could observe the entire battlefield from above. The entire front line had also built crude camps. Many farmers were cutting wood and starting to build ladders and battering rams for siege.
The scaling ladder was a long ladder. When attacking a city, a ladder was used to climb up the city wall.
The battering ram was a large hammer used to bombard the city gate.
When there was no large amount of gunpowder to blow up the city or cannons to destroy the city, these two methods were the most common.
As for flooding the city gates, digging tunnels, and so on, they were all tactics used when conventional methods were not effective. After a long siege, the defenders would be exhausted and careless.
Under normal circumstances, such a trick would not work in a city that was tightly guarded.
In order to quickly break through the city, other than sneak attacks, they could only rely on powerful strength, abundant military strength, and fearless soldiers to forcefully enter the city and break through the city.
This was the method that Lin Feng was using now.
The soldiers under him were all wearing armor. The sword-shield soldiers and spearmen wore steel armor, while the archers and light cavalry wore leather armor.
They were well-equipped, had high morale, and were not afraid of death.
Taking down Weihai Wei was not a problem at all.
The only problem was the casualties.
However, Lin Feng was not afraid of casualties. He had sufficient resources. Even if he lost thousands of people, he could replenish them in minutes.
With such powerful strength, there was no need for any schemes or tricks at all. He just needed to directly press on.
"Attack the city!"
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, especially when he saw that the Weihai Fortress's wall was only seven to eight meters tall, and there were no cannons on the wall. There were very few musketeers on the wall. Lin Feng was no longer worried and immediately waved his hand to give the order.
