Chapter 301 The third stronghold is completed
"Order the catapults to hit me hard!"
"Boom!"
"Whoa!"
Huge rocks flew through the air and slammed into the city, causing chaos.
But soon, the catapults in the city also launched a counterattack.
"Bang bang bang!"
For a while, the two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was hard to separate.
Rocks were flying in the sky.
Because the defenders had the advantage of occupying the city.
Finally, after about an incense stick of time, the attacking army had no choice but to retreat.
Of course, Ning Gao was not discouraged. This was only the first attack, and it was normal that it failed.
Ning Gao believed that as long as he persisted for a few more days, he would succeed.
What Ning Gao didn't know was that at this moment, Yue Fei, who was far away in Tubo, was leading his cavalry towards Hexi.
This war is of great importance and can be said to be related to the fate of Ningquan and Daqian.
Therefore, Li Jing did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and had already made careful arrangements.
Yue Fei's army was promptly dispatched to provide support, and they prepared to concentrate their forces to capture Ninggao in one fell swoop and destroy the remaining elite forces of Daqian.
In this case, it will take a long time for Daqian to recover even if he wants to.
For at least five years, there is no need to worry about the threat from Daqian.
..........
the other side.
After Ning Quan left Maguana, he ordered the ship to sail at full speed towards Santiago.
Now things have changed. The Portuguese have discovered America, which has completely disrupted his plans.
Therefore, he had to seize the time and rush to San Diego as soon as possible to build a stronghold.
Then quickly return to Daqian and transport more soldiers and immigrants to seize the initiative.
Maguana is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Santiago, and it took the ship seven days to arrive.
At this time, Santiago did not exist at all and was completely deserted.
If the map hadn't clearly indicated this was the place, Ning Quan probably wouldn't have believed it.
But none of this matters, as long as the location is right.
"Your Highness, are you really going to establish a base here?"
"It's completely deserted here." Zhang Fei asked in confusion.
"Yes, this is it. Don't look at it as it's still desolate now, but as long as it develops in the future, this will definitely be the most ideal base."
Ning Quan said very affirmatively.
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Fei scratched the back of his head.
"Prepare for landing, then quickly build a settlement and send out scouts to explore the surrounding situation."
Ning Quan ordered.
"It's Your Highness!"
Zhang Fei immediately accepted the order.
Immediately, everyone got busy and began to transport troops and various supplies to the shore.
Ning Quan returned to the room and started the lottery.
Time always flies quickly. In the blink of an eye, three months have passed and Ning Quan can participate in the lottery again.
The prizes for this draw are:
Ammunition supply box x1;
Off-road motorcycle x2;
Assault boats x3;
Small photovoltaic power plant x1
Diesel 10 tons x 1;
Marrow Cleansing Pill x5
Individual rocket launcher x4;
Armed off-road vehicles x3;
As expected, the prizes were almost the same as last time, except that the small machinery processing plant was replaced by an assault boat.
Ning Quan was quite lucky, as he drew an ammunition supply box this time.
Ammunition supply box: After use, you can get rifle bullets, heavy machine gun bullets, 1000 mortar shells, 500 grenades, machine gun shells, and 500 naval gun shells.
"Hahaha, that's right, it really is what you think."
Ning Quan burst out laughing.
He is short of ammunition now, and if he doesn't get any replenishment, his ammunition will really run out.
"Continue to draw generals."
Ning Quan said excitedly.
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for drawing the famous general Zheng Chenggong."
The cold mechanical sound of the system sounded.
"Haha, great, I actually drew Zheng Chenggong."
Hearing the system voice, Ning Quan burst into laughter.
Zheng Chenggong is both civil and military, and is particularly good at naval battles. Ningquan is currently lacking naval generals.
"Ding: Are you recruiting?" the system asked.
"Recruit, recruit quickly." Ning Quan said without hesitation.
Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed and Zheng Chenggong appeared in front of Ning Quan.
"General Zheng Chenggong pays homage to His Highness."
Zheng Chenggong bowed to Ning Quan.
"General Zheng, please excuse me."
"General Zheng has arrived at the perfect time. I am in urgent need of manpower."
"I am willing to serve Your Highness."
"Well, very good. General Zheng, please come with me. I will explain the situation to you."
Afterwards, Ning Quan took Zheng Chenggong on board and headed towards the shore.
At the same time, he also briefly introduced the situation to Zheng Chenggong.
"Your Highness wants to establish a stronghold here, or I will be in charge here?" Zheng Chenggong pondered.
"Exactly."
"Yes, I will obey your command."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong made a serious promise.
"Okay, I'm confident that General Zheng can handle the job."
"Your mission is also very simple. In the early stages, you just need to build a stronghold and investigate the surrounding situation."
"When I come back next time and bring you more reinforcements, that will be the time for you to make your mark."
"Yes, Your Highness." Zheng Chenggong said excitedly.
.........
Soon, the big ship arrived at the shore.
After introducing Zheng Chenggong to Zhang Fei, everyone became busy and directed the soldiers and craftsmen to build a temporary residence.
At the same time, various supplies are continuously transported to the shore.
In the evening, everything was done, and Ning Quan returned to the ship and immediately returned.
Ning Quan had no time to waste here, so he just left the rest of the work to Zheng Chenggong.
Moreover, Ning Quan left a lot of manpower for Zheng Chenggong, including two thousand soldiers, four hundred craftsmen and eight hundred women, a total of more than three thousand people.
Without considering expansion, there is absolutely no problem in self-preservation.
Next, the ship sailed at high speed all the way.
It took only fifteen days to reach Australian waters.
Once here, Ning Quan can contact Zhou Yu who is in charge of Tamsui.
It was not until then that Ning Quan realized that Ning Yuanwu had attacked him.
Li Jing was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Ning Gao in Wanxiu City.
Although he was a little surprised, Ning Quan had not failed to anticipate this.
And he was not worried, because with Li Jing around, he could not lose.
The immediate priority is to transport troops and immigrants to America.
Ning Quan immediately ordered Zhou Yu to organize troops and craftsmen and prepare to go to America.
Because Zhou Yu did not have more Han soldiers, in order not to waste time, Ning Quan decided to dispatch Qi Jiguang and his Khitan and Xiongnu soldiers.
Anyway, Japan had been conquered and the entire country had been destroyed, so Qi Jiguang and his 150,000 Khitans and Xiongnu cavalry were just sitting around doing nothing.
Moreover, the Khitans are also Han people, and the Xiongnu also have Han blood. They are both branches of the Han nationality, but they have different habits.
There is no time to care about that at this time.
As for Japan, let Lu Bu take charge there.
Lu Bu has a strong murderous intention, so he is the most suitable person to be assigned the task of managing and intimidating Japan.
Ning Quan also planned to transfer Qi Jiguang to Australia to replace Liu Rengui.
As for Liu Rengui, Ning Quan planned to transfer him to America to command the navy fleet.
When it comes to naval battles, neither Zhou Yu nor Qi Jiguang is inferior to Liu Rengui.
