During this period, Haizhou was the Haicheng of later generations, a city with a very critical geographical location. Because it is located on the dividing line of Liaoxi and Liaodong!

From here to the south is the Liaodong Peninsula, to the north is Liaoyang, and to the north is Shengjing, that is, Shenyang.

Ilshen has been stationed here for more than ten years, and as an old man who has come over during the period of fighting old slaves, he has never been so anxious as he is today. He couldn't imagine that Han'er, who had been slaughtered and ravaged by them in the past, would one day become a man-eating tiger beast.

But this is an unchangeable fact.

Looking at the banners under the city and the bright armor of the Ming army, he can't forget yesterday's defeat in his mind.

Ilshen, who had gathered most of the strength in his hands, galloped to Niuzhuang as fast as he could, but when he led his troops to rush to the time, Niuzhuang had already changed the banner of the Ming army. There was also a part of the Ming army waiting in the field outside the city.

Ilshen is an old man of the Eight Banners, who has followed the front and back since the day he started the army, and he is used to seeing battles. I saw more of the Ming army's timid appearance as chickens, allowing them to slaughter. The old slave washed Liaodong with blood, and his subordinates were stained with the blood of countless Han'ers, and Ilshen was also one of them.

That is to look down on the Ming army from the bottom of my heart. With 300 banners in his hands and a large number of coats, how could he give up the great opportunity to ask him to avenge Akdun's hatred?

And he also thought that the Ming army must have taken Niuzhuang after a hard battle, and it must have been exhausted at this moment. As long as you can defeat the stumbling blocks in front of you, the defeated army will roll up Niuzhuang, don't look at the Ming army has so many ship guns, but no matter how big the ship is, it can't drive ashore. He Yileshenke regained Niuzhuang, and the defeat of the Ming army was not a problem.

At that moment, he asked his two generals to lead 100 horse armor soldiers to outflank the Ming army in front of him on the left and right, and he led the rest of the soldiers and horses to hold the Ming army head-on.

This is a very simple tactic, but in the course of the battle between the Jianyu and the Ming army, it can be repeatedly featen.

As a result, he learned the worst lesson of his life.

The Ming army stood still. When the Qing army's horse armor soldiers approached to fifty paces, the shotgunners in the queue opened fire in order.

Each squad of the Volunteer Battalion had three platoons of musketeers, one platoon with turtledoves and two with rumi. Sixty percent of the army used firearms, which meant that the 1,250-strong volunteer battalion had 750 guns.

These are not the firearms of the Ming Court, they are all privately made muskets of the upper floor, or the small-caliber Lumi guns, which can still break through the iron armor at a distance of fifty paces. In this way, a volley of guns was fired, and the 500 muskets on both flanks, rows of guns shot out, and the people who were beaten by the Qing army's horse armor soldiers who rushed on their horses turned their horses on their backs.

"It's a pity there are no cavalry!"

On the city wall, Zheng Zhilong, who watched the Qing army flee in embarrassment, hammered hard at the battlement. If he could have two hundred horsemen in his hands and rushed back at this moment, how could Elshen escape?

But now, Ilshen, who had suffered a big loss, fled in a hurry with his tail between his legs, but he was still followed by more than 200 horsemen. As for those clothed minions who did not have war horses, they were abandoned by him without hesitation.

From Niuzhuang to Haizhou, forty miles away, this is by no means something that the coats can escape.

Next, it was natural that Zheng Zhilong raised troops and went straight to the city of Haizhou, and did not give Yileshen too much time to gather the slave Ahha.

The first thing Ilshen did when he fled back to Haizhou with less than 200 horsemen and dozens of minions was to ask people to ride quickly to Liaoyang and Gaizhou, praying for reinforcements. Then he ordered the Baoyi Ahabs of the surrounding farms to enter the city, mobilize all the men and women, and prepare to defend the city. But the Ming army came too quickly.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the orange-red flames, the gate of Haizhou City was 'annihilated'. Zheng Zhilong is also the same trick, and it works!

Elsin didn't even think about blocking the gates. What he thought in his mind was that the reinforcements were coming, and then the inside and outside should defeat Zheng Zhilong, or Zheng Zhilong heard that the Qing army reinforcements had arrived, and he hurriedly pulled out the camp and left, so he could follow and kill to avenge the defeat of Niuzhuang.

In this way, he will be able to atone for his sins.

But now, the gates of the city are open!

"Rush, ......" Gan Hui drew his sword and provoked, the city gate was opened, and the Iron Man Army was the one to win the city!

Zheng Zhilong listened to the sound of fighting in the city, but his mind was not on Haizhou, but on the entire battlefield.

Ilshen must have sent someone to report to Liaoyang and Gaizhou. And he doesn't have the ability to peep into Liaoyang, however, what about Gaizhou?

Just like the battle of Niuzhuang that has ended, Ilshen came with Haizhou's soldiers and horses, which in itself was a great weakening of Haizhou's city defense. If he hadn't lost so much clothing in Niuzhuang, Zheng Zhilong wouldn't have dared to come to Haizhou.

The Tartars in the city, old and young, were all gathered, and there were still one or two hundred men, plus the three hundred horsemen who fled back, and the clothes in the city, which was not a small number.

That is, the city gate was successfully blown open, which gave Zheng Zhilong great confidence. Otherwise, if he is frustrated twice, Zheng Zhilong will not attack the city with a dead end.

He is a hundred treasures for the elite in his hands.

In Haizhou City, the Zheng army and the Qing army have been completely stirred up.

The former was fierce and brave, and he struck and rushed, and the city gate was opened, and he immediately rushed into it like a flood of water.

The Qing army was caught off guard!

They had already divided their troops to defend the four cities, and there was also a cadre of soldiers at the head of the city, even if they were overwhelmed by the guns outside, they did not dare to go down to the city to hide. If so, there were few Ding Yong in the soldiers in the city walls.

When the gates are blown open, how can those individuals stop the Iron Man Army?

The army poured into the city, and Hugh said otherwise, but Ilshen himself was distraught when he came to his senses.

At this time in ancient times, once the enemy army entered the city, once the city wall lost its effect, the pressure and impact on the defenders was incomparably greater. To say that "the morale of the army is chaotic and the fighting spirit is greatly lost" is to say it lightly.

As great as the weakened aura of the defenders is, so is the amplified aura of the soldiers on the attacking side.

The Qing army was already small in numbers, but now that it has cut and risen, it is not an opponent.

"Report!" Gan Ping rushed to the head of the east gate of Haizhou, "The great commander, the remnants of the Tartars either fled or retreated into the city to defend the mansion." ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled, "Ilshen actually let go of his life? Zheng Zhilong still understands the truth of missing one of the three around, and he does it like this, but he doesn't want Ilshen, whose hair is gray, to go out like this.

Although he had soldiers and horses in ambush at the end of that road of life, although everyone understands the truth of drinking a donkey to quench his thirst, when he is about to die of thirst, don't he still drink the wine as a life-saving water?

"Tell your eldest brother that if the Tartars want to defend to the death, then set it on fire. Settle the battle as soon as possible! "He doesn't plan to stay in this Haizhou City.

"Then send the order, let the soldiers speed up their movements, and capture the main people, and transport them back to Niuzhuang by water together with the floating wealth soldiers. Reinforcements are not far off. ”

Zheng Zhilong actually didn't know how far the Qing reinforcements from Liaoyang and Gaizhou were from Haizhou. But time told him to retreat as soon as possible.

After the battle of Niuzhuang yesterday, he immediately sent Gan Hui to lead his troops along the Haicheng River to Haizhou City.

This Haicheng River is a tributary of the Taizi River, and the reason why Niuzhuang is the key point of water and land is because Niuzhuang is the confluence of the Liao River, the Hunhe River and the Taizi River. And the whole of Liaodong is also the basin of these big rivers.

At present, although this Haicheng River is only a tributary of the Taizi River, the river surface is more than ten zhang wide, that is, the water is shallow, and the big boat cannot go, but the small boat can. It's just that there are really not many boats along the Liao River, otherwise Zheng Zhilong would have come to Haizhou directly by boat.

He gathered a total of dozens of river boats in Niuzhuang, which was only enough to hold some prisoners and floating wealth soldiers.
