Chapter 928: Rain

Zheng Chenggong couldn't ask why, but everyone felt the power of the Ming Jinyi Guard now, such information, even if it was the Dengzhou Chief Military Officer Li and the others, he would not know more detailed than the data in the intelligence.

After Zheng Chenggong had a conversation with Jinyiwei's hundred households, everyone turned their attention to Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong's uncle and nephew.

Zheng Hongkui said: "According to the latest information of this adult, there have been omissions in our previous attack plan. And since we arrived in Dengzhou, it should have been before the evening, and because of today's rain, it would be difficult to land overnight. So I wondered, should we wait one night, prepare the attack plan, and then do the siege early tomorrow morning? As soon as Zheng Hongkui finished speaking, he heard Zheng Chenggong say: "Uncle, by all means, our warship guns can be fired in the rain, but the artillery on Dengzhou City is arranged in the open air, and when it rains heavily, the artillery in the city cannot be used immediately." This is a godsend, please ask my uncle to order a full sail to advance, and strive to reach Dengzhou as soon as possible, and then our fleet will immediately attack Shuicheng. There is no need to make a detour to attack Dengzhou Fucheng according to the original plan, we will first take the most difficult Shuicheng to attack in one go, and then attack Fucheng, then this battle will be won. Zheng Hongkui nodded after hearing this and said, "What do the generals think?" Dingxi Hou Zhang Mingzhen said: "The plan of the national surname can be described as thunderous, and the lower officials agree. Most of the other generals also agreed with Zheng Chenggong's plan, which was actually very simple, that is, to fight fast and slow, and to be able to fight but not to be able to fight, which was a real conspiracy.

Zheng Hongkui said: "Okay, then order the fleet to move forward with full sails!" ”

"Dashuai, the front reaches the sea area of the Dengzhou Miaodao Strait." At this time, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and other heavyweights were standing at the bow of the ship in the rain, and the lookout on the mast reported directly to Zheng Hongkui in the air.

The helmsman behind him checked the lookout's report with a compass again, and nodded to Zheng Hongkui, who was looking at him at this time.

Zheng Hongkui immediately said: "Send the flag, order all the gunners of each ship to enter the battle position!" The ships were prepared to fire with their port guns. "Nearly 500 warships of all kinds of the Ming army in the sea began to prepare for battle, and it took little time, and more than 2,000 port guns on 300 large and small combat ships in the entire fleet were ready, and the rest of the ships were temporarily responsible for covering and outflanking, and some of them belonged to troop carriers.

As a result, dense Ming warships appeared in the Miaodao Strait, forming more than 10 long dragons in formation, and were heading towards Dengzhou Water City along the eastern coastline, so that the Qing army in Dengzhou Water City, which had already discovered the Ming fleet, was suddenly chaotic.

"Tell Lord Futai, the Ming fleet has been found on the sea! There are many, many large ships coming to us along the eastern coast, so please show us! "Some soldiers braved the heavy rain and went to the Yamen of the General Soldier in Dengzhou City to report to the Chief Soldier Li and the others in a hurry.

"What's the panic? What are you panicking about? I have thousands of defenders in Dengzhou, and the city defense is like an iron wall, and no matter how many Ming troops there are, they are just here to die. Order the forward defenders to monitor the movements of the Ming army and report at any time. Li and the others instructed the soldiers who came to report, and wanted to pick up the teacup and take a sip of tea calmly.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a cannon like popping beans, and the sound of a ping-bang explosion made the calm Li and the others suck all this tea into the garlic nose, and not a drop was wasted.

The teacup also fell to the ground and shattered into slag. The soldier who was about to run back to the water city to recover also heard the sound of the cannon, his legs weakened, he stumbled on the threshold, fell forward, and rolled from the top of the steps to the courtyard, choking on his face with mud.

Seeing that this soldier was so unreserved, Li and the others scolded angrily: "What a useless thing! No matter how urgent things are, you can wait for a while, no one is like me. After saying this, he also felt that there seemed to be some loopholes in his words, so he hurriedly looked around, and saw that there were indeed no outsiders, so he hurriedly stretched out one foot and pulled the debris of the ground under the table of the Eight Immortals.

Yahuan hurriedly came to clean up, Li and the others would think that Yahuan would think that he was frightened by the sound of the cannon and dropped the teacup, so he would lose face, wouldn't it?

So he scolded again: "What are you panicking about! I can't even make a cup of tea, the water is so hot, it almost burned my tongue, and I knelt down and slapped my mouth! This girl was punished for no reason, and while slapping her mouth, she defended: "Master, it's not the tea made by the slave." It was the fragrance that made you tea, and I just came back from pouring the toilet, so I didn't pay attention to the water temperature in a hurry. As soon as he heard this, the disgusting Li and the others almost didn't squirt out of their mouths again after squirting the fragrant tea they had just sucked into their noses.

It's just that he is no better than those animals that can ruminate, and some organs do not have this function at all, so he has to give up.

At this time, another soldier from Shuicheng came to report: "Report to the chief soldier, the artillery fire of the Ming army in front is too fierce, the shells are like not asking for money, and our people have suffered heavy casualties!" Li and the others pretended to be calm, but their voices were already trembling slightly.

"Panic what! Panic, panic what? Won't we finish the shooting, and give the order to fire back and fire..... Ah, chicken! ”

"My lord, there are no chickens, and the brothers who can survive in the city have already been fried!" The soldier who reported the news cried.

Li and the others said slowly: "Change clothes, general, I want to go to Shuicheng in person." Of course, changing clothes is not just for the sake of stinky beauty, but he has to put on armor before he dares to go out, otherwise he may be beheaded by the Ming army.

After a pillar of incense, Li and the others have not come out yet, but the sound of bean-like cannons is still continuing, but it seems that the sound density is a little smaller.

Li and the others thought that the offensive of the Ming army had weakened, so they walked out of the palace step by step, stepped on the war horse, immediately hung up a horse stick, and did not bring any long weapons, and then brought a bow and kicked and beat the horse and galloped towards the water city, if it was not for their own martial arts and archery skills enough confidence, I am afraid they would not have left like this.

Oh yes, he also brought 1,120 green battalion soldiers from Dengzhou. Just after entering the south gate of Shuicheng, I received a report from several visitors.

"Lord Futai, the east fort of the North Gate has been lost, and the Ming army has occupied the east side of the city gate." Li and the others frowned after hearing this: "Oh, Soga, oh no, it should be Baga Yaludi." Troops are moving forward at full speed to recapture Dongcheng! Immediately, Li and the others led the team to the east of the water city.

It was raining on the way, and it was impossible to hear their own artillery fire back, although the sound of artillery was continuous, but the smoke of gunpowder was instantly covered up because of the heavy rain, which made Li and the others on the war horse have a great ambition to turn the tide.
