Inside the Forbidden City.

Emperor Chongzhen held the piece sent from outside the pass, and the sad look on his face turned a little, "Don't you want this Fujian naval army to be so capable of fighting?" ”

The voice fell, and one of the ministers below stood up: "Zheng Zhilong took advantage of the water master, avoided the real and made the false, conquered Yaozhou in a battle, and shook the outside of the pass." ”

"This is not only a feat that I haven't seen in the Ming Dynasty for several years, but also an easy way to see the navy fighting outside the pass. After this battle, the Tartars should be like a sharp edge on their backs, and they are overstretched. If you want not to repeat the mistakes of Yaozhou, thousands of miles of Liaohai, you have to fortify for thousands of miles. ”

"Zheng Zhilong's army has really won the mantle of the Jiangdong Army in the past. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty. ”

Zhou Yanru made a generous statement, but Jiang Dejing behind him was silent.

Emperor Chongzhen had a sincere smile on his face, "What Zhou Qing said is very true. Although I am happy for Yaozhou's victory, I am even more pleased with the sharpness of the navy. It can be relied on as the Great Wall. This is thanks to Jiang Qing's strategy. ”

Hearing the emperor mention himself, Jiang Dejing hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty has praised it. These are all soldiers who dare to fight, plus the efforts of Inspector Fan and Qiu Zhongcheng. Ministers don't dare to be greedy for their own interests. ”

"Haha, Jiang Qing is modest. Zheng Zhilong lives up to my hopes, and Qing also lives up to my hopes. ”

The so-called long-term illness becomes a good doctor, Emperor Chongzhen has been dealing with wars every time over the years, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can also develop some strategic vision.

The battle of Yaozhou, the most important significance is not how many Tartar heads were chopped off, nor how many men and women were captured, but the ability of the Zheng family's naval army to take advantage of the void and avoid the real and attack the false. It's the containment of Jianyu under such ability!

"Your Majesty."

The Great Congratulations of the Manchu Dynasty made the depression accumulated in the Forbidden City for many days seem to have dissipated a lot.

……

Emperor Shengming in the Forbidden City could not reduce the pressure on Zheng Zhilong in Niuzhuang, and with the arrival of the Liaoyang Tartars, the Qing army opposite Niuzhuang already had thousands of people. And that's not even counting the coat that accompanied the army!

The commander of the escort army, Ao Bai, personally led the soldiers and horses with yellow flags to help.

Huang Taiji in Shengjing City was very annoyed and angry about Zheng Zhilong, who suddenly appeared, and was very annoyed by the defeat of Yaozhou, Niuzhuang and Haizhou. Having just won the Battle of Songjin, the Ming court declined further, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty became stronger, according to the advantage, even if his health was a little bad, he was also planning with great interest to break through the Kou Central Plains for the fifth time, so as to replenish the empty treasury due to the first battle of Songjin.

Unexpectedly, a Zheng Zhilong was killed.

The Ming army outside the Guanwai has an additional naval army, and it is a naval army led by bold generals, which makes Huang Taiji have to think of the former Phidao Jiangdong Army. That's a thorn in the flesh that has plagued them for more than ten years.

Although Zheng Zhilong had just appeared outside the gate, he reminded him of Mao Wenlong.

Even if it was just a small fight on the shore, both had the courage to take advantage of it. This is a huge containment for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in the future, if the Ming army fights, as long as Zheng Zhilong's army is still there, the Qing army will have to leave some strength to take care of his hometown. He can't get out of the cow farm now......

This Zheng Zhilong not only has much stronger hard power than Mao Wenlong that day, but also has a lot more courage than Mao Wenlong.

Of course, winter is an exception. But the winter outside the gate drips into ice, and if it works, the Tartars are not willing to use troops in the winter.

Therefore, for the ongoing battle of Niuzhuang, Huang Taiji is actually a little happy.

Gai Because, in the eyes of Huang Taiji, who also looked down on Zheng Jun's land combat ability in the depths of his mind, this battle of Niuzhuang was Zheng Zhilong's hot-headed attack on the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings.

Huang Taiji, who unconsciously substituted the image of Jiangdong Army into Zheng Zhilong's army, took it for granted that as soon as his Eight Banners elite arrived in Niuzhuang, he could completely crush Zheng Jun like boiling soup and pouring snow!

It was Na Ao Bai who thought the same thing before arriving at Niuzhuang.

Ao Shaobao, who later became the famous young hero of Kang Mazi, is now a fierce general in the yellow flag. Whether it was the Battle of Kepi Island or the just-concluded Battle of Songjin, he was known for his courage to fight.

However, in the battle of Phi Dao, he dared to lead the light boat to charge into battle against the guns of the defenders, and in the battle of Songjin, he dared to charge into battle, and won all five battles.

The cannon of the Zheng Junshui Division patrolling the Liao River made his head cold, and the Zheng Junshui Warship was completely different from the Ming Warship of Phi Dao that he had seen in the past.

Now the river is lined up, and the muzzles of the guns are pointed directly at the shore, so that Ao bows and looks away.

When Ao Bai led the army to Niuzhuang, on the other side of the Liao River, a small number of Jianyu sentry horsemen were also watching from scratch. However, it was the Songjin battlefield that suddenly severed contact with Shengjing, and there were also farms on the other side of the Liaohe River. The Qing army left behind in the Quang Ninh area sent sentry cavalry to investigate.

On the battlefield of Niuzhuang, the two armies confronted each other.

Not only did the Qing army not dare to make a mistake easily, Ao Bai also quickly sent people back to Shengjing. This depends on the power in his hands now, and it is helpless. Zheng Zhilong couldn't keep the city gate open. Since the Qing army knew that it was powerful and did not immediately launch a death offensive, Zheng Zhilong also took the opportunity to build fortifications.

Early in the morning, outside the west gate of Niuzhuang, groups of braided bunkers were driven to the outside of the city by Zheng Jun, and they were either busy carrying some bricks, stones and wood, or holding shovels and hammers to dig trenches.

The distance did not go beyond the range of the guns in the city.

The Qing army on the opposite side still did not move at all, Ao Bai was waiting for the reinforcements of Liaoyang, and was originally going to let the soldiers and horses of the surrounding small city checkpoints gather, but the news that Gaizhou had fallen and was burned into a blank field by the Zheng army reached Niuzhuang, and Arking almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. That's his home.

Ao Bai also hurriedly sent men and horses to inform various places along the coast and told them to be on guard.

In this way, the confrontation between the two armies lasted for nearly half a month, and Shi Fudu, who stayed in Ningyuan City, sent the first batch of 100 fine horsemen to Niuzhuang, and Turai led a large number of Qing troops to arrive.

As the son of Fei Yingdong, one of the five founding ministers of the founding of the country, Turai was the best of his brothers, although he was only the seventh.

But more than 20 years of battlefield career has made him the leader of the Fei Yingdong family. He's also Aobai's cousin!

The Qing army reinforcements arrived, but Zheng Zhilong was still not nervous and sat firmly in Niuzhuang.

"Father, seeing the arrival of reinforcements from Jianyu, the morale of the army fluctuated quite a bit."

"And what do you think?"

"The child thinks that he can reward the brave in the fierce army and go out of the city to fight."

"Haha, I don't lack money. But the brave men of the army should not be sent like this. Morale has fallen, my father and son have come north for a short time, and there are still few battles with Jianlu, and the soldiers are still afraid of Jianlu, isn't it human nature? ”

In fact, the Zheng army's array, whose morale has been shaken, is still tight. At least in the eyes of Turai, the Ming army in front of him is in strict order, and it is by no means easy to match.

Turai participated in almost all the major wars of the Manchu Qing Dynasty since the old slaves raised their troops, and he was very experienced. There is no mistake in this point.

The city of Niuzhuang on the opposite side is quite strong, although the city is not large, but it is fighting with the enemy's sailors. That's troublesome enough.

Moreover, the Ming army on the opposite side, which dared to come across the sea, repeatedly attacked the city, not only daring to fight, but also being able to fight. It is not at all like the other Ming armies who fled against the Qing army.

This wind cannot last, this army must be extinguished!

As a high-ranking general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Turai subconsciously wanted to completely wipe out the army in front of him.

Therefore, he not only has to fight, but also fights fiercely, striving to break the opponent's bones.
