Zheng Zhilong and the Ming Dynasty turned their faces, and this news also had a lot of shock to Zheng Jun.

Everyone's reactions were mixed, both for and against, agitated and angry, and more indifferent.

For example, those refugees, they don't care if the Zheng family rebels. Those who eat the Zheng family, drink the Zheng family, use the Zheng family, and live in the Zheng family have long been determined by the Zheng family, and it is the same whether the grandfather of the country rebels or not.

Many people in the Zheng family already only have Zheng Zhilong in their eyes, and there is no Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

But Liu Guoxuan is not.

He only voted for the Zheng family because of the high military salary given by the Zheng family, and the two sides were an employment relationship between employees and bosses, rather than an inseparable relationship of life and death.

Liu Guoxuan was very excited about Zheng Zhilong's decision, because it made him see his chance to 'get ahead'.

Is Zheng Jun's soldiers strong?

Liu Guoxuan, who has been in the Zheng family for two years, has a lot of experience and has the right to speak. In his opinion, as far as the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are concerned, they cannot be compared with the Zheng family at all.

The Tartars outside the gate can rely on tens of thousands of true Tartars to fight such a big 'country', how can the Zheng family not be able to? Moreover, the Zheng family, which owns the South Seas and monopolizes Sino-foreign trade, has an even more obvious advantage.

But the shortcomings of the Zheng family are also very clear, that is, there are too few people.

It seemed that the Shang had been developing slowly and moderately, that is, before they set off from Fujian, the Zheng family had some signs of rioting.

Isn't this a great opportunity for someone like him who has no backstage and no backing?

As soon as your army expands, the first thing to be promoted is their officers, Liu Guoxuan is really looking forward to his rise.

Therefore, it is naturally a good thing to be able to get the joy of a general like Chen Hui, and if you can't get it, it is not worth him Liu Guoxuan's three sighs.

Soon the gate tower was filled with billowing smoke. The scorching bombs hadn't yet blown it down, but they had already caused a fire inside it.

One artillery cannon roared in front of Chen Hui in turn, and the Qing army in Ninghai City was like a boat in a stormy sea, which could capsize at any time.

When the shield cart covered the mortar cannon in place and sent the flowering shells to the city, Chen Hui only waved his hand forward. A battalion of soldiers carried a long ladder and swooped down.

Isn't that like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, Ninghai City was taken.

The Qing army in the city either died or fled, and when Zhuo Butai's head was held in front of Chen Hui, his eyes were wide in anger, and there was no use for birds.

The defenders in the two outposts are also the same fate, except for escaping, they can only suffer death, Zheng Jun was very cautious when he landed on the shore, but once the army was spread out, the progress was a god speed.

The fundamental reason for this is that there are not many defenders in Shanhaiguan.

Five thousand people seems like a lot, but they are distributed among the many outpost cities and the seven large and small cities, which are simply not enough.

The fault is not that there are few people, why has Mandahai not sent reinforcements to Ninghai City at this time? It is very close from the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan to the Ninghai City in the east.

And what about Zheng Hongkui? The army is gathered, and the battle begins.

After capturing Ninghai City and sweeping two more outpost cities, the southern wing city was in front of Zheng Jun's eyes.

Man Dahai finally saw Zheng Jun, looking at the sea from the upper floor of Fuyuan, and the black and oppressive warships seemed to cover the ocean. And looking at the south side of the South Wing City, although the cannons were not dazzling by the sunlight, the dark muzzles still made him dizzy.

Punching the railing hard, Man Dahai's heart was full of anger and grievance.

He believed that the Qing Dynasty was definitely stronger than the Zheng family, but the Zheng family relied on the convenience of the sailor to take advantage of it frequently. This was true in the First World War, and it is still true today. This kind of grievance is not once or twice, and the taste can really make people explode.

The sky was dark, and the moon had climbed into the air, though it was still as white as a dull pebble.

Zheng Jun's cannon fire also suddenly stopped. The Qing army didn't realize it at first, and many people were still hiding in the caves, but slowly, slowly, more and more people came to their senses.

They realized that Zheng Jun's indiscriminate bombardment had come to an end. So, all of them stood up with great difficulty, and squatted in the cave of the hidden soldiers, and their bones seemed to have stiffened.

The shelling of the two hours before and after, the intensity of the shelling is getting stronger and stronger, it is really too fierce. It's beyond their imagination. It was previously said that the army's Hongyi cannon was powerful, but comparing the firepower of the Ming army with the Zheng army, it was really an insult to the Zheng family.

The Qing army of six or seven hundred people in the southern wing of the city, who had experienced such a powerful and protracted artillery bombardment?

No, not one.

Whether it is the distant Battle of Ningyuan or the decisive battle of Songjin a few years ago, the firepower of the Ming army is compared to the indiscriminate bombardment of the Zheng army's cannons, which is completely grandchildren's. It's too small.

After Man Dahai listened to the cannon sound of the two of them, the whole person seemed to be twenty years old. The only thing he can be thankful for is that Shanhaiguan is really strong.

"Order all battalions on the front line to be on strict guard. Do not slack off in the battalions! ”

Man Dahai knew that he was committing suicide by sticking to Shanhaiguan, but the importance of Shanhaiguan was undoubted, how could he retreat without the will of the imperial court?

What's more, it's not easy to retreat even if you retreat.

It's really an idiot to be Zheng Jun's sailor. They had landed north of Guancheng and successfully captured Weiyuan Fort on Huanxi Ridge. The latter was built by Wu Sangui in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, commonly known as 'Whining City', on the Huanxi Ridge two miles away from Guancheng. The city is three zhang high, and the stone is lowered, and the four corners are stamped on the platform. The female wall on the city is five feet high, and the circumference is seventy steps.

It is said to be a castle, but in fact it is more of a large beacon tower, which can be seen and garrisoned. Twenty-one large and small brick holes were raised up and down the four walls. The big hole is eight feet wide, the small one is five feet wide, and the height is all feet, all of which can be used for Tibetan soldiers.

In a sense, this Weiyuan City is like a small fortress. If enough artillery is allocated, it will be really difficult to bombard all directions.

But there are no cannons in the hands of the Tartars, most of the artillery is concentrated in Guancheng, and even Ninghai City only has four cannons, not to mention the small Weiyuan Fort.

Therefore, it is not easy for the Tartars of Shanhaiguan to return now. It is impossible for them to retreat to the Great Wall, they can only move to the Great Wall of Jiaoshan, so many people move along the city wall, isn't it a live target in the eyes of Zheng Jun.

Mandahai did not intend to escape. Although his self-confidence was exhausted after seeing so many warships and cannons, all that was left was desperate thoughts, and without Yanjing's will, he really had no intention of escaping.

"Tell Turush, take the troops to the city, and defend me."

……

Zheng Jun here.

Before the artillery stopped, the vanguard was ready with a series of small and medium-sized shield carts. As soon as the cannon was extinguished, a battalion of troops pushed a shield cart and quickly touched the Qing army.

"Brethren, the time has come. The courage of the Tartars has been crushed by our artillery. Everyone put on their bayonets and grabbed their grenades. Let's take down the city in one go......" The battalion commander led by him preached loudly.

All the soldiers' chests were burning with fierce fighting spirit, without a trace of hesitation or fear. One by one, the shield carts were pushed up quickly.

The sound of the gong sounded at the head ......of the city. All the Tartars realized that Zheng's offensive had been launched.

Before Mandahai's military order reached Turush's ears, he had already led his men to rush to the south gate of the South Wing City.

"Quick, quick. Speed up ......"

Zheng Bing's attack sequence sounded the urging of the officers, the soldiers pushing the shield cart mustered up their strength, and even the soldiers of the vanguard behind them put away their muskets and helped them first.

The gongs and drums at the top of the city clanged, and the sound of gongs and drums was accompanied by the sound of a few sparse muskets. The Qing soldiers who shot were stiff in their bones and trembling in their hands at this time, and the situation in front of them really made all of them desperate.

And on the battlefield, this emotion is not only contagious, but also spreads very quickly. And the desperation on the battlefield only makes people more and more desperate, and before this feeling is not broken by external forces, there is never despair and despair, and the soldier suddenly regains his calm on the battlefield.

"Whoa!"

A medium-sized shield cart was sunk into a pit of earth, and the soldiers pushing the cart were slammed into the side panels, and the four men fell to their knees on the spot. But the soldiers behind the shield body did not hesitate at all, quickly dispersed behind the other shield cars, and continued to advance rapidly.

"Brethren, the time has come. The little gall of the Tartar and the second Tartar has been frightened by the cannon, and the gun will not be released. ”

"The brothers are all rushing with me, this time our team will win the first ......"

"Speed up, everyone speed up, don't call the second team to take the lead......"

The vanguard pushed the cart bones forward, and the Qing soldiers in the city fought back with a fragile force, not to mention the artillery, and even the muskets didn't seem to go off, how could this not make the attacking troops more excited?

Even Zheng Hongkui was a little surprised, the resistance of the Tartars was really too weak.

A battalion of attacking troops broke through almost unscathed to the south gate of the southern wing of the city. The Qing army in the city only rang out a few sporadic gunshots, and the sound of artillery seemed to have sounded a few times, but this was more like emboldening the Qing soldiers than using it to kill and injure the Zheng army.

In the saucer tower, corner tower and enemy tower on the south wall of the south wing of the city, there were originally muskets and small cannons, but now don't say anything about the saucer tower and corner tower, even the female wall will be swept away by Zheng Jun's artillery group.

Whether it is a five-pound cannon, an eight-catty cannon, or a ten-catty cannon, the shells fired can cause serious damage to the disc tower and the corner tower, and even concentrate on firing a few times, and the disc tower and corner tower have all collapsed.

"Kill......"

With the sound of grenade explosions, the soldiers of the Zheng army held bayonets and carried long ladders, like a fierce descending tiger, and crashed straight into the southern wing of the city.

Zheng Hongkui stood on the high platform that was built, looking at the battle situation in the South Wing City from afar, and now his vision was not completely darkened, and he could roughly see the situation in the South Wing City. The resistance of the Qing army ...... very weak.

Bayonets, guns, grenades, Zheng Hongkui saw very clearly, "It's like a hot knife inserted into lard, it's very easy!" ”
