In a tense war, time always flies quickly. Especially when moving from one victory to another......

Zheng Zhilong sometimes feels unbelievable, his journey is so smooth. First broke Yaozhou, then broke Niuzhuang, and then broke Haizhou in a blink of an eye, one victory after another, and the real Tartar's head fell towards him as if he didn't want money.

So much so that the deaths and injuries in his own army made him feel no longer distressed, and moreover, there was a wave of "contempt" for the Qing army in the army!

Of course, that's just the beginning.

For more than 20 years since the Ming and Qing dynasties started the war, Jianyu won many victories, and the Jurchen invincible words resounded throughout the Central Plains. That's a lot of years of accumulation, it's a reputation accumulated by big victories, but it's not a few small victories that can offset that psychological disadvantage.

At the head of Niuzhuang City, the banner of the Ming army was flying high, Zheng Zhilong led the army to sit in person, and the sails outside the city were lined up, and the ships gathered. The camp of the Zheng army's sailors was strong, easily covering the north and south sides of Niuzhuang.

Located at the confluence of the Liao River, the Hunhe River and the Taizi River, Niuzhuang is the main water and land transportation route connecting eastern and western Liaoning. When Huang Taiji decided to besiege Jinzhou for a long time, it was not known how many grain ships came down the upper reaches of the Liao River, Hunhe River and Taizi River, gathered here, and then transported all the way to Yizhou by land and through the official road built by the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong is really late.

Gossip over, just look at the present. On the west side of Niuzhuang is the Liao River, which is wide and deep, and there is no obstacle during the wandering of warships. Relying on the artillery on the warship, it easily covered the north and south of Niuzhuang.

In the northeast of it, there are the Hunhe River and the Taizi River, and there is the Haicheng River, a tributary of the Taizi River, in the east, which forms a triangle with the Liao River, and Niuzhuang is located in it.

It can be said that Niuzhuang is without the help of warships, and in summer and autumn, the north and east of it are also moats. With the fleet on the river to cover it, the south road is also impassable, only the east side. The enemy can be camped in Haizhou, and the coastal city and river can be used as a cattle village.

However, the area of the cattle village is small, and the circumference is only two miles and ninety-three steps. It is a square with a side length of less than 300 meters, and when the Qing army attacked, the warships on the big river could not only cover the north and south sides of Niuzhuang, but also cover a considerable area due east of the ship's guns.

It's a geometric problem, inside an isosceles triangle, with a cow farm built-in. Wherever the triangle is covered, it is covered by naval artillery. And the cannon of the big blacktail ship in Zheng Zhilong's hand does not pay attention to accuracy, only the range, and there are still two miles.

This is an unsolvable problem for the Qing army.

The Niuzhuang City Gate [East Gate, written as the West Gate] that was blown up earlier was not repaired at all, but a fence and antlers were set up, and then the moat was dredged again.

Zheng Zhilong seems to be about to flutter like a fairy. 'The door is wide open', waiting for the arrival of the Qing army.

At the head of the city, the musketeers and gunners of the Zheng army were waiting for them, but a circle was enclosed with a curtain in the city, and a large earth pit was dug in it, which was filled with lime, and the heads of the captives were being concocted.

It's hard work.

The fishy head was loaded into a bamboo basket one by one, and Zheng Zhilong felt disgusted when he looked at it. And they still have to hold the head saltpeter, unless they have a deep hatred with Jianyu, they will not take the initiative to apply.

"This knife is sharp, look at this neck, it is a neat one. It's not like this, it's like a dog gnawing on it. ”

"What's the use of being so neat? For this group of beasts, the dogs should be told to gnaw. ”

"Big brother is right. This group of beasts should be slashed a few more times. ”

Between the heads, this group of people still talked and laughed. People are like this, it is impossible to work all the time without saying a word, even if they use Jianyu's head as a ball to relieve their hatred, it is impossible not to say a word.

"It's a pity, I've been a soldier for two years, and I haven't cut off a head with my own hands. Father's revenge, I don't know when it will be avenged. A veteran with a Liao accent said.

"Wait, follow Zheng Dashuai, one day I will be able to take revenge."

"How can it be so easy, Zheng Dashuai has taken advantage of the loophole, and he has to succeed frequently while the main force of the Tartars is not there. I don't believe you, look at the current battle, the Tartars' brigade is coming, and it will be difficult to get the head again......"

That's a good point. Our army has recently won one victory after another, and many people have drifted away. How can Tartar be so easy to fight? If you can't defeat their main force with the drums and gongs in front of them, you will never be able to build a captive. These individuals are just a drop in the bucket for them at the moment......

Outside the curtain, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen father and son stood quietly. Zheng Sen had anger on his face, but the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword was tightly pressed by Zheng Zhilong.

Quietly come, and then quietly go, without alarming anyone.

"Why did the father stop the child? As soldiers, they should be strong and stubborn to protect their family and country. Now he is afraid of Jianyu......" Zheng Sen looked angry.

In the words of those people, it is not difficult to see their "fear" of Jianyu, and even to put it more seriously, they are still disrespectful to Zheng Zhilong. With the identity of these people, how can they evaluate Zheng Zhilong's war? This made Zheng Sen angry.

The people inside are all soldiers in the army, which one is not raised by Zheng Jiaen? Now he looks at Zheng Zhilong like this, it's very hateful!

But Zheng Zhilong didn't care, he was a traverser in the end. People who have seen keyboard warriors, will they still care about this praise and criticism? On the contrary, this will only make him notice that the military spirit is not yet stable, and his reputation as Zheng Dashuai is not loud.

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold."

"Over the years, the imperial court has used troops with Jianyu and has suffered defeats. The morale, morale, and courage of the army were all lost. Is it irretrievable for the sake of the Father's small victory? ”

"But dripping water pierces stones, and gathers sand into towers. There is time and patience for fatherhood. Accumulating small victories is a big victory, like accumulating small rivers into rivers and seas. Sooner or later, you can train a victorious army that sweeps all directions. When the time comes, the Tartars will be slaughtered! ”

More importantly, in this process, he was able to firmly grasp the military power and establish his absolute prestige in the newly built land division. Just like in the previous Zheng Shui Shi.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes shone brightly.

In the west of Niuzhuang City, in the murderous Qing army. Arjinga also gritted his teeth and looked at Niuzhuang City, eager to slaughter all the Ming troops he saw without leaving a single one.

"Taking advantage of the weakness, Lianke Yaozhou and Haizhou are just fine, and they even dare to take Niuzhuang, and if they don't kill them for a while, the Nikans don't know how powerful."

He is the city guard of Gaizhou, and he is in the same situation as Ilshen, not only does he serve in Gaizhou, but the entire family has already migrated to Gaizhou. The families of the soldiers under his command also fell into Gaizhou.

Isn't it very similar to the Eight Banners stationed in history? In fact, they are connected to each other in the same vein, this kind of rule that arises when beating old slaves, bringing family members, long-term tunrong, with Jurchen as the mainstay, supplemented by (Han) coating, is a big magic weapon for Jianyu to completely control the outside of the border in just 20 years.

It's just that compared to Ilshen, who has already been ordained, Arkinga's age is much younger. He is still less than forty, and he is in the prime of life!

At Arking's side was Marzi, who arrived with a small number of reinforcements, and he was the defender of Biluo, an official who was one rank lower than the city guard, with ten to dozens of men in his hands, and Biluo was located between Haizhou and Gaizhou. When the two merged, they were dominated by the higher official Arkinga.

Arjinga, who witnessed the tragic situation in Haizhou, naturally stepped on both sides of the Liao River and killed all the Zheng troops to the ground. But as a person who doesn't have muscles in his head, he can also clearly see the trap laid by Zheng Jun.

The seemingly "open" gate of the cattle farm is a trap.

If he can't bear to rush forward, he will definitely be beaten miserably by the firearms of the Ming army.

Because he knew very well that the strength in Ilshen's hands was not weaker than him at all, and Haizhou City was no worse than Gaizhou City. The Ming army in front of him was able to defeat Ilshen head-on, and then attacked Haizhou, and took it in half a day, and its strength should definitely not be underestimated.

A more thoughtful way is that he waited quietly here, waiting for the arrival of Liaoyang's soldiers and horses. The latter is the southern barrier of Shenyang (Shengjing), after Huang Taiji re-conquered the Korean rotation division in February of the third year of Chongde (1638), he ordered Doro Rao Yu Bel Abatai to lead 20 Jiashi per ox and one minister to Liaoyang to build a city.

Garrison soldiers and horses, for the barrier of Shenyang. Although it cannot be compared with the latter's military strength, it is far superior to Haizhou and Gaizhou.

"Withdraw. Twenty miles back. Send someone to Liaoyang again! ”

Compared with the city guards who were stationed in the local places like Arkinga and Ilshen, although there were many soldiers and horses in Liaoyang, it was not easy to transfer them. Every move there is in the eyes of the emperor, without Huang Taiji to speak, who would dare to be arrogant?

Arjing's retreat made Zheng Zhilong sigh regretfully, but then he laughed again.

"Fauson."

"Father."

"Take the Battalion of Volunteers and sail south. Go to Gaizhou ......"

It's still a good idea!
