Chapter 809 Changing the Court

"Do you think we need your help to capture the city of Santo Domingo?" Takahashi Minami asked expressionlessly. He doesn't like to accept other people's bargaining, not to mention the identity of this target is a prisoner of war. If Delgado

If you want to use this to blackmail Haihan, you are miscalculating.

"I don't dare, you idiot. It's just that there are hundreds of defenders in this castle, and there are a lot of muskets and artillery. If your army attacks by force, casualties will be inevitable." Delgado said a few more words, and seeing that Takahashi Nan did not refute him, he

He continued: "The villain has a plan that allows your army to capture this place without paying casualties."

Takahashi Minami felt more and more that this guy was too scheming and was trying to figure out his own thoughts every time he said it. However, considering the overall situation, he still had to listen to what tricks this guy was up to.

After Delgado received Takahashi Minami's instructions, he licked his dry lips and said: "This general may not know something. The military and political affairs in this city are controlled by two enemy chiefs. The leader is named Gesman, and the leader of the army is

The name of the person is Lopez. The two of them are both civil and military, and they act softly and hardly. Nagelsman has no intention of fighting. I heard that after the war started yesterday, he tried to get Lopez to send someone to send him out of the city to escape.

All the defense matters in the city are under the control of Lopez alone. In my humble opinion, I may be able to persuade Gusman to surrender to save his life and offer the city to your army, thus avoiding this battle."

Gao Qiaonan did not answer his words, but looked at him with a strange expression and said: "You are a native of Luzon, you have a Spanish name, but you speak in Chinese. To you, there should be nothing

As for the object of your allegiance, you will depend on whoever is stronger. I understand this right, right?"

Delgado responded: "The villain just wants to survive and has no other intention."

Takahashi Minami shook his head slightly. In his eyes, a small person like this was really like an ant, and the decision of his life or death was just a matter of a thought. He had previously been very disgusted with this guy's duplicitous approach, even though he was still a prisoner.

His boss was an enemy chief. But after hearing these words, he thought of his own experience of being captured in Port Victory when he was a pirate, and why he joined Haihan just to survive. Although Delgado was a little small

Although he is capable, it is difficult to stand out in this troubled world. He can only move among the strong men from all sides and survive in the cracks. As for his petty tricks, Takahashi Minami can see through them at a glance, and they do not have any practical effect.

effect.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want me to let you go back as a lobbyist?" Minami Takahashi asked.

Delgado responded: "There is no basis for what you say. I still need a handwritten letter from the general in case the enemy chief Gesman does not believe it. As long as the general can promise to save his life, most of this person will choose to surrender."

"It's useless if he wants to surrender. It's up to the person leading the troops. How do you plan to deal with it?" Takahashi Minami continued to ask.

Delgado hesitated for a moment before responding: "López is a man of firm will and is not easily persuaded. The villain thinks that he needs to be eliminated directly to allow another enemy chief, Gesman, to take over the military power in the city."

"Can you do it?" Takahashi Minami was a little impressed by Delgado now. Even if he was allowed to go back as a lobbyist, no one would be able to help him. Whether it was talking or assassinating, he would have to do it alone.

Under such circumstances, he dared to propose such an idea, which shows that he is not a timid person. If the assassination failed, Delgado's life would definitely not be saved.

Of course, there is another possibility that his plan was just at the verbal stage. After returning to the city, he immediately changed his position and returned to the defenders' side. Anyway, everyone else who left the city at the same time was grabbing them to death, and there was no

If people can confront him about what happened outside the city, there is still a great chance of regaining the trust of the defenders. However, doing so is tantamount to lingering. When Haihan breaks through the city defense, he will definitely have to face Gao Qiaonan again.

When the time comes, it won’t be possible to get through a second time just by relying on glib words.

Delgado responded: "If you can get close and then use a sharp blade to catch him off guard, you are at least 70% sure that you can kill him with one blow."

Takahashi Minami nodded and said: "You are very confident in your own skills! How are you going to get out after that?"

"The villain will discuss it with Gesman first, and he will take over the scene immediately after the attack, which may save his life." Delgado himself is also very aware of the risk of doing this, but he still wants to take it as a risk.

An opportunity to stand out.

Takahashi Nan shook his head and said: "You killed the commander in the city in front of Gesman. If he spares your life, how will you report to your superiors after returning to Jilong Port? As long as there are other bystanders present,

This matter must not be hidden from the public. If I were Gesman, the first thing I would do is to execute you, the sooner the better, lest you reveal the secret of my secret deal with the enemy outside the city. As long as Gesman surrenders the castle,

If I can save my life and leave safely, why should I keep you?"

Delgado was stunned and speechless. Although he was a little smart, he could only take it for granted when trying to figure out the mentality of the superior. After all, his position and environment were different, and it was difficult for him to put himself in the shoes of the superior and take into account the values ​​of the superior. If he really planned to follow the

If he does what he said he planned to do, Gesman will definitely not leave Delgado, a time bomb who knows the inside story, in order to be on the safe side. But Takahashi Minami can understand this way of thinking, but Delgado has never thought of it.

Takahashi Nan said again: "I think you are also a courageous person, so why do you have to surrender to us?"

Delgado came back to his senses and responded: "The villain is just unwilling to be unable to display his talents. He joined the army for three years and made many achievements, but he didn't even become a captain!"

"Do you think you can get ahead by working for Haihan?" Takahashi Minami couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this answer. He didn't expect that this guy offered to assist in the siege not only to save his life, but also to change his family to fight.

Put the thought in it.

Delgado looked at the people next to him and continued: "Although these military lords who are chasing the villain in the mountains also speak Chinese, the villain can tell that they are probably not Han people, and they are probably from somewhere in the South China Sea.

.Since they can do it, the villain can naturally do it too. General Shicai also heard from these people that the villain is not an ordinary thing who can be caught so easily."

Takahashi Minamido's observation skills are indeed good. Almost all the veterans of the reconnaissance platoon are from Annan. Although they can speak Chinese, their pronunciation is always slightly different from Akito. Can Delgado still be able to do it in the current environment?

Paying attention to such details, the psychological quality is quite impressive. Of course, what Delgado probably didn't expect was that the short Haihan officer in front of him was actually not a Haihan or Akito, but a Japanese.

In fact, none of the combatants in this operation were even real Haihan people, they were all naturalized citizens.

The reconnaissance platoon leader did not expect that his bragging just now would become a bargaining chip for this guy and the battalion commander. He immediately said angrily: "You really think you are so capable! Untie him. I can't catch up within a mile."

You, just change your surname to De! It's okay to have a fist fight, but I want to see how much you weigh!"

Delgado knelt on the ground and responded unhurriedly: "Although the villain has not received any formal training, he has been fighting wild beasts in the mountains and forests since he was a child, so he has some experience. If the military master wants to fight, the villain

I’m also happy to accompany you.”

"Okay! I don't care if you want to fight privately, but not now!" Of course, Takahashi Minami was not interested in watching these two guys quarrel, and immediately stopped them: "What I want now is to take over the city of Santo Domingo.

We’ll leave all other issues for later!”

Takahashi Nan turned to Delgado and said: "If you really want to serve us, then I can give you a chance. If you do it, I will leave a place for you in the army! If you can't do it, then I'm sorry.

Even if you survive until the city is destroyed, I will never use you again and can only send you to Annan to dig coal."

Delgado nodded vigorously and said: "I will do my best, general. Please give me instructions!"

"The plan you just mentioned does have a lot of flaws, but time is tight right now, and I don't have time to slowly formulate another solution. I'll just make some changes to your plan. Just follow it.

.”

Next, Takahashi Minami spent half an hour explaining his new plan to Delgado. Although Delgado was still a little skeptical after listening, the current situation did not allow him to doubt Takahashi Minami's plan.

Whether it can really be implemented can only be discussed first by writing everything down.

After Takahashi Minami explained the plan, he asked someone to get pen and ink and write a secret letter, which was to be used as a prop for Delgado to persuade the enemy chiefs in the city to surrender. In order to ensure that the contents of the secret letter would not be misinterpreted, Takahashi Minami also specially

I asked the translator to come and copy the contents into Spanish, then put them into an envelope and stamped them with wax.

While Takahashi Minami was writing the letter, Delgado, who had regained his freedom, was finally allowed to stand up and stretch his stiff muscles. However, when he noticed the scene outside the tent, his neck became stiff again.

Delgado saw a huge cannon pulled by four oxen moving forward slowly. The length of the barrel was about ten feet, and the thick muzzle could easily fit him in. Maybe it was because of the barrel.

It was so heavy that wooden sticks as thick as arms had to be placed on both sides in the direction of the wheels to prevent them from sinking.

Delgado was also a witness to the siege and artillery bombardment the day before. He saw how the Haihan Army used five cannons to suppress the defenders on the city. However, the cannons yesterday were different from what we saw now.

Compared with the giant cannon, it is obviously dwarfed. With the size of this giant cannon, a large area of ​​the city wall will collapse with only a few hits from the shells. The Haihan Army only shelled the city yesterday and took no further action.

, apparently just waiting for the giant cannon to arrive.

"Isn't this thing scary?"

Delgado heard a proud tone in his ears. He turned around and saw the reconnaissance platoon leader who had just glared at him. He nodded slightly in agreement. This was indeed the first time in his life that he had seen him.

It would be a lie to say that one was not shocked by a cannon of such a size.

The reconnaissance platoon leader said proudly: "Whether you are willing to help us or not, it will not change the outcome of this war. Our army has many siege artillery pieces like this. If you don't believe me, look behind you!"

Delgado looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there was the same transport team far behind, and it seemed that there were more than one or two huge cannons transported. It seemed that the Haihan people had already prepared them before the war started.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deploy such heavy cannons so quickly. If the defenders in the city refuse to surrender, what awaits them is probably the Haihan Army bombarding the city with huge cannons and directly destroying the city wall.

Rushed in.

"If you do things well, we'll save some ammunition and time. If you don't do things well, we'll have to rely on these big guys to open the way!" The reconnaissance platoon leader asked, not without showing off: "What do you think of Spain in the city?"

How would people feel when they see this thing appearing outside the city?"

Delgado did not answer this question with an obvious answer. If it was Gesman, it would probably directly prompt him to make the decision to surrender. If it was Lopez, it should also greatly shake his belief in defending the city. After all, in this kind of monster

Who would be so stupid as to think they could withstand its attack?

"Delgado!"

Takahashi Minami's call brought him back to reality from his distracted state, and he quickly responded.

"After nightfall today, you will return to the city with this letter. As for the follow-up action arrangements, you will do as I said before. Don't worry about anything else. Just act according to the plan. I will report it after the city is destroyed.

Please give you a **** treatment." Takahashi Minami handed the sealed letter to Delgado and warned coldly: "But don't forget, you must survive first."

"Don't worry, General, the villain will act with caution." Delgado took the secret letter and carefully put it into his arms.

"Also, I'm not a general, so don't call me random names in the future!" Takahashi Minami corrected with a straight face.

"Yes, yes, it's a villain who doesn't understand the rules." Delgado switched to a groveling state again.

After nightfall, Takahashi Minami had all of Delgado's personal belongings returned to him, and then watched Delgado disappear into the night like a ghost.

"Battalion Commander, do you really believe this guy?" The reconnaissance platoon leader still didn't understand Takahashi Nan's arrangement.

"There is no loss for us to give it a try. Our strength is here, and Delgado has also seen our siege artillery with his own eyes. As long as he is not a fool, he will naturally understand how to choose. I think he has seen it

After our equipment, it should be more determined to join us." Takahashi Nan pointed at the reconnaissance platoon leader and said: "I know what you think, but don't forget that none of us are Han Chinese, and what the leaders value is not

My identity as a Han is my loyalty to Haihan and the Executive Committee. As long as I can work hard for Haihan, there is no harm in using him."
