Chapter 448: Conquering Taizhou (Third Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
The Qing army was defeated like a mountain, and quickly retreated to the city under the rout.
Zheng Jiajun, under the leadership of the Iron Man Army, entered the city in a big way and seized all the key points.
Lang Tingzuo's face was as dead as ashes, and he retreated from the city under the escort of his own soldiers, and began to move towards the city.
Now the only way to do this is to start street fighting.
Although he also knew that he wouldn't be able to last long, it was better to die than to live, and it was good to live a few more moments.
"Father, our army has won a great victory."
Zheng Jing, who had been watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the Ming army had already controlled the four city gates.
"The next step is to clear the remnants of the Tartars who retreated to the city."
"Hmm."
Zheng Chenggong nodded, but he didn't look happy.
The main reason is that Shi Lang, the dog thief, took advantage of the Ming army's inattention to break through and ran away.
But Zheng Chenggong also knew that the top priority at the moment was to quickly destroy Lang Tingzuo and gain full control of Taizhou.
As for Shi Lang, let him live for a few days.
Anyway, this guy is a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be able to jump for a few days.
Zheng Chenggong can wait until the chaos in Zhejiang is resolved, and then go to clean up Shi Lang.
Shi Lang's head will be temporarily stored on his neck for a few more days, and no one can take it except Zheng Chenggong!
...
...
However, it was said that after Shi Lang led his troops to escape from Taizhou, he fled all the way south without looking back.
After this battle, Lang Tingzuo will definitely die, and the backbone of the entire Qing army in southern Zhejiang is gone, and the morale is naturally gone.
Shi Lang believed that the defense line built by the Qing army would soon be completely breached by Zheng Chenggong's troops, and it was only a matter of time.
At this time, going to Fujian is the right way.
Of course, to get to Fujian, you need to pass through some prefectures and counties.
To the south of Taizhou is Wenzhou.
Shi Lang only needs to gallop along the official road to reach Wenzhou Mansion.
If it is a rapid march, it will take two or three days in total.
After arriving in Wenzhou, it is closer to Fujian.
Shi Lang will get closer and closer to safety.
It stands to reason that Geng Jimao should always come up with a meeting gift.
Shi Lang was empty-handed.
After thinking about it, Shi Lang felt that it was better to try to take away the Qing army stationed in Wenzhou Mansion.
Although all the soldiers in Wenzhou Mansion are green battalions, and there are only 10,000 people, they are still better than his current more than 1,000 people.
With more than 10,000 troops into Fujian, Shi Lang's face will look much better and he will have more confidence.
Otherwise, he always felt that he would be manipulated by Geng Jimao at will, and he would completely fall into passivity.
Although these green soldiers directly obeyed Lang Tingzuo's orders, Shi Lang could describe the situation in Taizhou to them, so he believed that these Qing soldiers would be so frightened that they lost their ability to think and only thought about running away.
Since they are all running, why not run with Shi Lang?
At least Shi Lang was still a general appointed by the Qing court. There is still a glimmer of hope that following Shi Lang will not be like a headless fly scurrying around.
After thinking about it, Shi Lang was even more convinced of this idea, and he wanted to arrive in Wenzhou as soon as possible.
...
...
In the city of Taizhou, the main force of the Qing army has been wiped out.
Lang Tingzuo led hundreds of people to retreat to the palace and make the last resistance.
He really didn't expect this battle to be so aggrieved.
It was Shi Lang, the dog thief, who opened the city gate, otherwise he would not have lost so much.
Now Lang Tingzuo can't wait to peel Shi Lang and cramp!
Sure enough, people are shameless, and the world is invincible.
Lang Tingzuo admits that at this point he lost to Shi Lang!
"Brethren, you have fought with Ben to the end, and Ben Du is very grateful."
Lang Tingzuo choked up a little and said, "It's impossible for us to get out alive today." In this case, we will fight the last battle for the Qing Dynasty. In this way, our family can at least get preferential treatment from the imperial court. ”
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Swear to follow the Governor to the death!"
"Fight with the thief!"
These are Lang Tingzuo's own soldiers, and they know that they can't survive? He planned to be loyal to Lang Tingzuo to the end.
"Very good, if the thief rushes in, he will shoot Ben Du hard!"
The Qing army left some arrows, although not much? But it's also enough to shoot a few rounds.
In Lang Tingzo's opinion? Zheng Chenggong must have wanted to capture himself alive.
Then he can use this psychology to kill and injure the Ming soldiers as much as possible.
How many more pads to kill? I'm not alone on the Yellow Springs Road!
The soldiers roared like wild beasts.
"Aim at the gate, as long as the thief breaks the door, he will shoot me hard!"
Lang Tingzuo sneered? A butt sat on the ground.
"Lao Tzu is dead? I want you to stay with me! ”
...
...
"Father, the thief has retreated to the palace, you see?"
Now the Ming army has surrounded the Taizhou Mansion? The inner three layers and the outer three layers are directly surrounded by water? Not to mention people? Even a fly can't fly out.
"Just set it on fire."
Zheng Chenggong said without a trace of emotion.
Zheng Jing was stunned for a moment? I almost thought I had misheard.
"Father? Go up in flames? Don't you catch the thief alive? ”
How can Lang Tingzuo say that he is also the governor of Liangjiang appointed by the Qing court? It's a big fish.
If the Zheng family can capture him? Offering a captive, that's a great achievement.
His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward the Zheng family for this.
Zheng Jing didn't know why his father had such a big credit in front of him, but he didn't want it!
"Jing'er, if you were a thief, what would you do now?"
"Uh..."
Zheng Jing couldn't figure out Zheng Chenggong's thoughts, and said timidly: "If the child is him?" Will you fight to the death? Strive for a few more pads. ”
Zheng Chenggong nodded.
"That's it."
He took a deep breath and said, "Lang Tingzuo must want to kill a few more pads?" So why should a father let him get what he wants? These are soldiers who have been carefully groomed for the Father. Are their lives not as good as those of thieves? ”
What did Zheng Chenggong say? Zheng Jing suddenly realized.
Anyway, Lang Tingzuo can't live horizontally, so what does it matter how he dies?
It is nothing more than that capturing Lang Tingzuo alive can make His Majesty happier and more face-saving.
But if these are to be exchanged for the lives of more soldiers? It's not worth it.
"After burning the thief, you can take his big bones and return to Beijing to restore his life."
Zheng Chenggong said without hesitation: "Set it on fire!" ”
After Zheng Chenggong gave the order, the soldiers of the Zheng family army immediately began to follow it.
They first poured tung oil into the palace, and then threw the ignited torches into the palace.
In this way, Lang Tingzuo is stupid.
He was ready to fight the Ming army, but Zheng Chenggong didn't fight him head-on.
It's infuriating.
This dog thief actually wanted to burn Bendu alive.
"Zheng Chenggong, even if this governor is a ghost, he won't let you go!"
Lang Tingzuo roared angrily.
The fire spread rapidly, burning from the perimeter to the inside.
Lang Tingzuo instinctively wanted to run, but where could he run?
Tongues of fire rushed towards him from all directions, and some of the Qing soldiers had already been burned to the ground, desperately running in the sea of fire.
The stench of the burnt body hit his nose, and Lang Tingzuo almost fainted.
In desperation, he fled into the official office, looking at the mountain of paperwork, Lang Tingzuo laughed wildly.
"It's all fake, it's all fake. What's the use, what's the use of fame and fortune? ”
"Success or failure turns empty, success or failure turns empty!"
"Zheng Chenggong, do you think you are the winner? You're going to regret it, haha, you're going to regret it! ”
"Ben Du curses you, Ben Du curses you to die like Shi Lang's dog thief!"
Lang Tingzuo struggled to lift it, scattering the paperwork all over the ground.
"Hahaha, Ben Governor curses you not to die well!"
He lay on his back on the paperwork, laughing wildly.
"The Great King's Banner at the head of the city is all fake, all fake."
