In the face of Wang Fuchen's initiative to ask for battle, Rick did not refuse, after all, for such an old general who has been fighting for half his life, although it is a surrender army, Rick also has enough respect and confidence, he nodded and said: "According to the intelligence, the enemy we face is probably in the same vein as Zheng Chenggong's main force attacking Taiwan, although it has been more than 30 years now, but it has always been the most 'elite' unit in Taiwan, and there are quite a lot of muskets in our army, so Zheng Jing will think of using this army to confront us." Therefore, we must not underestimate the enemy! ”

After getting along with Rick for so many days, Wang Fuchen knew that this was not for him, but for the Han generals around him, who were different from his horse harriers. They are all real Han army descendants, and they have experienced the gradual growth of the Han army, and there are a lot of 'elite' sharps that have fallen in their hands, and this time Yang Qilong is retreating on the whole line, in this case, the whole army will inevitably be a little arrogant, especially after looking at the camp of the Zheng army on the opposite side. Therefore, Rick's words are not so much to 'handover' the king's auxiliary ministers, but to remind the generals around him.

These generals present have been cooperating for so long, and how can they not understand what Rick means, and they all responded again and again at the moment: "I must fight with the Zheng family with all my might!" ”

After Wang Fuchen received the order, he immediately mobilized his own 12th army. The armies under his original command, after leaving the 'fine' and removing the Wu, can be said to be the 'fine' sharp. What's more, the reorganization of the Han army system was also carried out, and when Wang Fuchen took over again, it was already a completely different unit, and the system was completely 'disrupted'. But it was this kind of adjustment that allowed Wang Fuchen to immediately experience the benefits of the Han army after the initial period of adaptation. As a soldier, there's nothing more exciting than getting a good troop. The same is true of Wang Fuchen, a new organization, a new weapon, and a new method of warfare.

All this made Wang Fuchen seem to have returned to his youth, refreshed, and trying to familiarize himself with the familiar and unfamiliar army in his hands. This kind of effort has quickly paid off, in the Rick Group, the performance of the Twelfth Army these days is remarkable, even if it is a few old Han Army units in the Rick Group, when facing the same position as the Twelfth Army, I am afraid that the performance of the Twelfth Army is similar to that of the Twelfth Army. It is precisely because of this that Rick dares to 'entrust' the task of this vanguard general to the Twelfth Army.

Since the two sides are already on the right side, there is nothing to hide, Wang Fuchen personally led the 12th Army and took the lead in the attack.

The intelligence of the Han army was very accurate, and they were facing a unit that had been inherited from the old family when Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan. In the Zheng army, it is also a strong force. If it weren't for the complete falling out with Lin Feng this time. Zheng Jing was reluctant to send this unit out, these were the treasures of his life.

'Fine' sharp, naturally there is also 'fine' arrogance. Facing the attack of the XII Army. Zheng did not show weakness, and at the same time launched a counter-charge.

Such a situation fell into the eyes of Wang Fuchen, and naturally he couldn't ask for it, although there were many firearms in the Twelfth Army, and he was not afraid of attacking tough battles. But the other party really has to choose to attack, so that he has the right appetite. How can you fight a hedgehog with the strength to fight hard.

Zheng Jing has been entrenched in Taiwan for so long, and it is not that he has done nothing. At least in the troops, a lot of effort has been put into it. Since Lin Feng began to rise, he has been concerned by Zheng Jing. After all, his father was driven out by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and had no way out, so he thought of running to Taiwan. And the Manchu Qing Dynasty was torn apart by Lin Feng's three-five division by two. Such an example, how can Zheng Jing not follow it.

When he knew that Lin Feng's firearms were sharp, Zheng Jing of course immediately followed. Isn't it a musket, the Zheng family occupies Taiwan, and there are more Westerners coming and going, as long as they open their mouths to buy it. It didn't take long for the amount he was satisfied with very quickly. Moreover, the other party also gave instructors very considerate to guide the Zheng army.

And the unit that the Twelfth Army is facing is one of the pilots. Although their army was a big defeat of the Dutch army back then, they also had enough of the hardships of muskets, and they naturally studied very hard. This battle is naturally used.

Thus, in Chinese mainland in the seventeenth century, there was what can be said to be the first musket duel. Both sides lined up in a neat formation, as if the other was slowly pressing away.

It's just that the expected scene of the two sides 'shooting' in unison did not appear. The reason! The technology of the two sides is completely unequal, but there are firearms masters like Dai Zi in the Han army. Therefore, compared to the 'sex' ability, the arquebus in the hands of the Zheng army, which is regarded as a treasure, fell into the hands of the Han army, and I am afraid that it is not as good as burning the fire stick.

The first asymmetry is reflected in the 'shooting' range, Zheng's side is still waiting to advance to the 'shooting' position, and the 12th Army's side has already opened fire. After all these years of trials, adjustments. The Han army's musket tactics, queues, and techniques are already very skilled. When the first 'wave' attack is launched, the rest of the problem is simple. 'Shoot' hit, push, 'shoot' again, push again!

The Zheng troops on the opposite side were completely beaten by the Twelfth Army and couldn't raise their heads. They were not English longbowmen, and in the face of flintlock muskets, which were still relatively rudimentary, bows and arrows did not have such a long range at all. They weren't cavalry either, but they used their speed to make up for the distance.

Infantry against infantry, musket against musket! When the 'sexuality' of the musket and the tactics already employed are at a disadvantage, everything is irreparable.

In this battle, the Twelfth Army was pushed directly in front of Zheng's camp. If it hadn't advanced too fast and the artillery hadn't kept up, the Harriers, who had already killed the rising, might have rushed straight in.

Rick, who was silently watching from behind, just sighed: "Pity these excellent soldiers! ”

Indeed, the courage and discipline shown by the Zheng army at this station impressed the Han generals who were watching. In the face of absolute disadvantage, they still had a distance between advance and retreat, so they fought and retreated, covering each other, and in the process of advancing the Twelfth Army, from time to time someone jumped out of the pile of dead bodies and killed and slashed.

Fortunately, Wang Fuchen is also a character who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, and he has long been on guard against the other party's hand. As soon as the other party 'appeared', he was shot and killed by the 'indiscriminate' guns of the reserve team that had been prepared for a long time. Later, Wang Fuchen simply organized a team of big swordsmen, and when he saw a dead man, he went up to make up for it. Just in case.

It was precisely because of these people that they dragged the footsteps of the Twelfth Army in front of them, did not let the Han army form an encirclement trend, and ate all the troops out of the city.

It's just that sometimes, bravery doesn't make the difference. That night, Zheng's former army was surrounded by the Han army.

The battle report of this battle was also delivered to Lin Feng as quickly as possible. After Lin Feng read it roughly, he threw it to Zhou Peigong, who started it. After he finished reading it, he asked, "What do you think of the companion?" ”

Zhou Beigong smiled and said: "What your majesty must have thought of when you accompany your father-in-law." It's just a pity that the Zheng family, don't you know that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. How many sacrifices did our Han army pay to have a complete musket system. But the Zheng clan, relying on the tactics taught by a businessman, wanted to deal with us. This is somewhat self-defeating! ”

Lin Feng sighed and shook his head: "Actually, I don't want to solve Taiwan's affairs through this method." ”

How did Zhou Beigong not understand Lin Feng's thoughts, the lord in front of him, fighting the Manchu Qing Dynasty, resisting the 'Mongolian' Gu, for the sake of the people of the Celestial Empire who had been exiled to the wilderness, even ignored the great war, 'pumped' and transferred two thousand 'elites', and went around half the world to take revenge. Even the name of the country is named after Han, which shows its xenophobic. What's more, the enemy unit in the battle report had repelled the Dutch. This is inevitably embarrassing.

However, after so many years, Lin Feng is not a soft-hearted person. He took the battle report, patted it on his hand, and said slowly: "This account will be recorded on Zheng Jing first, and it will be investigated together when the time comes." ”

After speaking, he asked again, "How is Murong Parrot's Marine Corps training?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Xianggong was obviously also very interested, and said in a tone that was half a degree higher than usual: "Very good, the minister didn't expect that among the thousands of foreigners brought by Murong Parrot, there are many talents. In particular, some of them took out the topographical maps they had passed through on their way home, and the 'fine' details in them were much higher than those hidden in the General Staff. Many of the enemy, we refer to his charts, and after listening to his narration one by one, we understand our mistakes. The rest of the people are also very good, and they are much faster than some people walking on the shore. ”

Lin Feng was not surprised at all by what Zhou Beigong said, people who can withstand sailing for most of the world are not far behind. So he asked another question: "How about their Chinese and land battles?" ”

Zhou Beigong replied: "In this regard, Murong Parrot has long thought that during this eastward journey, he has no 'waste' fee at all, while teaching these people Chinese, on the other hand, training their various abilities, in Wei Chen's opinion, those people are not very familiar with some rules and regulations of the Han army, the others can be regarded as a standard soldier." ”

After hearing this, Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "Then I can rest assured, you can tell Murong Parrot to get ready." Now it depends on how things develop, they may be dispatched at any time. ”

This good news was sent all over the Han Kingdom at the same time, but the people of the Han Kingdom were used to seeing all kinds of victories, and even the invincible elder brothers and Gege were driven away by the Han army. The records of these Qing army's defeated generals are not so dazzling. It's just that the people of the military are kind of out of breath. Jiangnan has already been regarded as its own territory by the Han State, and Zheng's invasion, in the eyes of these soldiers, is completely a provocation that does not know whether to live or die, and they must be given a little 'color' to see.

On the other hand, the Zheng clan is already gloomy, Nanjing City has not been captured at this time, but the pressure of the Zheng clan to attack is still greater, presumably it should have heard the news of the Han army coming east. It's starting to be desperate.

And the news that the 'elite' was surrounded was more like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding in the hearts of everyone in the Zheng family. The troops, which were less than 10,000 people, although they did not have a name, actually played a role like the Imperial Foresters. It has always been composed of Zheng's 'fine' and 'pumping' tunes. In them, it is the hope of the Zheng family. The best training, the best equipment, the best treatment.

Even when Zheng Jing sent them out, he thought twice. It was only under pressure from Rick's Legion that such a decision had to be made. Originally, the orders were just to hope that they could hold back the pace of the Han army so as to buy time for Nanjing. As long as Nanjing is down, it will be withdrawn immediately, and this army Zheng Jing really can't afford to lose.

But now that it has fallen into the current situation, Zheng Jing never thought of it anyway, facing a group of subordinates who were also sad, Zheng Jing almost said: Why are they all muskets, why is the gap so big.

At this time, Chen Jinnan, who was kicked back by Lin Feng, stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, according to the experience of his subordinates on this mission, the Han Kingdom has a very tough attitude from top to bottom, and now the ministers are afraid that even if we take Nanjing City, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it!" ”

Feng Xifan immediately refuted: "Chen Jinnan, at this critical time of survival, just as everyone is united in their efforts to overcome this difficulty, what is your intention in saying this, do you still want us to retreat to Taiwan." In this way, how can we deal with the fallen Zheng family disciple in front! ”

With these words, Chen Jinnan lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "It is for the sake of the children of the Zheng family, you have also seen the strength of the Han army, this is not their main force, it has only been a long time since Ma Harrier surrendered to them, and he has already been able to use the musket so skillfully." Replaced by the old team of the Han army, how should we deal with it? You must know that this time the east is not only the horse harrier unit. ”

The two of them are in the Zheng family's small group, which can be said to be the right-hand men of the Zheng family, and the two of them made a fuss like this, Zheng Jing hurriedly said: "Everyone knows that both of them are for the sake of the Zheng family. Let's discuss these things slowly. Even I didn't expect that the strength of the Han army would be so strong, and we would have been able to have an advantage by introducing Western firearms and improving them. Speaking of which, I still didn't think about it. ”

Zheng Jing opened his mouth, and Chen Jinnan immediately said: "This is not the fault of the prince, we are also responsible." There are a few people in Beijing, and I have also seen Han soldiers carrying muskets, but I just thought that the appearance was different, and I didn't care, so I didn't mention it after I came back, and now I think about it, it's a mistake! ”

For this old minister, Zheng Jing hurriedly reassured: "Don't say that, it's not easy to risk yourself and negotiate with the Han Kingdom, don't dare to ask too much." Let me think about it. ”

Since Zheng Jing spoke, although the ministers had their stomachs full of words, they could only retreat in a huff. Leave Zheng Jing alone in the room. He slowly got up, moved his sedentary body for a while, pushed open the window, looked at the northern sky and muttered, "According to the agreement, I have already done it, and now it is up to you." Don't want to 'get' all the breaks! ”
