Chapter 119: The Ming Army Who Doesn't Give Up

The Zheng family sailors should have been killed, but they intended to let the Ming army sailors and the Han army sailors fight to the death.

The Han Army's naval divisions were equal to the Ming Army's naval divisions, and their military strength was equal to more than 10,000, and according to common sense, they had to divide the victory and defeat and fight for many rounds. Therefore, the Zheng family's sailors are all marching slowly, and the Han army can't run away anyway.

"Second master, come out quickly, come and see~"

Zheng Zhihu strode out of the shipbuilding and shouted, "What's the fuss? ”

Lao Shui pointed to the surface of the water: "Second master, you see that there are a lot of these corpses, they are all floating from above." ”

Zheng Zhihu smiled: "It's normal to have a corpse, otherwise you think the second master is here to play." ”

The old sailor smiled bitterly: "It's not the second master, I've been looking at it for a long time, these corpses are the uniforms of the Ming army sailors." ”

The uniforms of the Han army have been modified, which is very different from the clothes of the Ming army.

"What, how is that possible!"

Zheng Zhihu pondered for a moment and then ordered: "The summons pays attention to checking the identity of the corpse on the river, and sends a clipper to investigate." ”

The little clipper passed the second master's order to the small boat that opened the way, and the pirates also began to stop the body for inspection.

The grass and wood soldiers attacked quickly, and the Ming army surrendered quickly, so there were only more than 1,000 people who really became floating corpses.

The pirates were soon puzzled that the corpses had been unexpected.

"Second master, the corpses are all Ming Army, and they are all fresh corpses!"

"Second master, what the hell is going on?"

Zheng Zhihu was also very puzzled, it stands to reason that the Han army's sailors will die a lot. The river is turbulent and the water surface is open, and it is impossible for the Han army sailors to fish out all the corpses.

Many of them were wounded, but they were quickly brought ashore. As long as the energy is sufficient, the grass and wood soldiers who can float on the surface of the water will not drown at all.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Zhihu still didn't believe that the Ming army would be finished so quickly: "Advance at full speed, the current Ming army's sailors are not as good as they were back then!" ”

The Daming Sailor who was rampant all over the world also came to an end like a dynasty.

"These sailors are getting more and more wasteful."

"That is, if it weren't for our Eighteen Zhi Alliance over the years, this Ming Haijiang would have been riddled with holes."

In 1625, the alliance between maritime merchants and pirates was called Eighteen Zhi, and then defeated the main forces of the Ming Naval Division such as Fujian and Zhejiang. After that, the pirate group occupied the Daming sea area to control the interests of the sea, and the Daming sailors, who lost a lot of marine tax profits, gradually declined, and there was no longer the glory of the past.

In the following years, Zheng Zhilong betrayed the alliance again, and the Eighteen Zhi Alliance began to kill each other. The final result was that Zheng Zhilong's family was dominant, but it also allowed the Dutch Xiban to extend their influence to the Daming Sea Frontier. The Pirate League is meritorious, but their crimes are even greater, and they are simply too numerous to mention.

There were more than 30,000 sailors in the Han army, more than 100 large ships, and more than 300 small boats. The Zheng family had 20,000 pirates, 35 new warships, and nearly 200 small and medium-sized ships.

The two sailors have come to kill each other, and their respective clippers have already found out to deal with them.

Woo Woo ~ Boom~ The three big fireworks in the sky are very harsh.

Zheng Zhihu frowned, one shot of the sky-high fire warning is to meet a weak enemy, the second shot means that the enemy is a strong enemy, but the third shot means that the enemy is very strong.

"Stop, stop the order."

"It's the second master."

The command flag on the elevated highway was waved incessantly, and the war drums were beaten rhythmically. Soon more than 200 ships stopped, and 20,000 pirates were puzzled.

Taking out the monoculars, Zheng Zhihu saw that on his small clipper, the Mighty sailors were desperately rowing back. Xiaofan and manpower went smoothly, so that the boat soon came under Zheng Zhi's tiger's nose.

"Second master, the Han Army's naval divisions have a continuous number of warships, much more than us."

"Second master, there is no trace of a battle at all on the Han Army's naval division warship."

Zheng Zhihu asked angrily: "But seriously." ”

"The second master is true, there are at least 100 ships and big ships in an endless row."

Zheng Zhihu picked up the monoculars and watched slowly again, the blurred sail shadows were indeed continuous, and there were countless small boats on the water.

"Damn the Ming army sailors, they must have surrendered to the Han army, let's retreat, retreat quickly~" Zheng Zhihu shouted, this time they were actually tricked by the Ming army sailors. No wonder the dead on the surface of the water were all Ming sailors, it is estimated that the Han army was suppressing the rebel Ming sailors.

Knock knock~~ The anxious war drums sounded, and the warships immediately raised their sails and turned around.

Seeing that all the Zheng family's sailors were far away, Fei Song scolded in disappointment: "Bullshit Pirate King, a bunch of waste." ”

Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief, their Third Fleet had just been established, and their combat effectiveness and morale were not as good as before.

The sailor chased for dozens of miles before he began to stop. After that, the Third Fleet returned to Zhenjiang, and the Second and Third Fleets directly occupied the Tongzhou wharf. The Third Fleet was not all Ming sailors, and there were 3,000 sailors guarding the big ships to prevent them from defecting.

After the fast horses on the river bank returned, Chen Xiong also knew that the Zheng pirates retreated without a fight. He is not surprised, these pirates are definitely representatives of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

The water is safe, and the Ming army will need to gather all of them tomorrow afternoon.

The night will be a quiet time in the future, but Huang Degong on the head of the city is in turmoil.

Zhenjiang was besieged, the head of the city was shattered and messy, and the artillery of the four walls of Zhenjiang was almost completely destroyed. The small cannon moved quickly, but most of it was also destroyed. After shelling for a long time, there were a lot of losses in the city, but it was indeed on the river that made Huang Degong's heart cold.

The first sailor, the cannon also sounded, and there were even flying fire ducks flying in the sky. But it didn't take long for the Daming Sailor to mutiny en masse, and the Daming Sailor became the Han Army Sailor. There are more than 10,000 sailors and horses, which can be ignored at any time compared to nearly a million troops. But the defeat of the water division also represents the defeat of the division battle, and now it is not the Han army that is divided, but the Ming army that is divided.

Huang Degong sighed and went down to the city, and it was no longer possible to bloom in the center surrounded by all sides. Now the Han army is free to advance and retreat, and can only fight a decisive battle with a dignified army.

Yangzhou City is also a sad face.

"Supervisor, there is no big battle on the river at all, and the headquarters of the Han army has been crossing the river now. The Daming Water Master Zheng Jiashui is also nowhere to be seen, what is this? "The spies can only probe from afar, and Gao Jie can't understand the things on the river in detail.

Shi Kefa frowned: "The sailor has appeared, and he has never left. There was no war either, which meant that Jiang Xun had betrayed the imperial court. The sailors surrendered to the enemy, and the Zheng pirates would not buy their lives for the imperial court! Damn the general, is he self-exterminated from the imperial court! ”

And so it was! Gao Jie nodded secretly, he already had a plan in his heart.

couldn't see what Gao Jie was thinking, Shi Kefa could only continue to cheer him up: "General Gao doesn't need to worry, the 500,000 army on the south bank has two elite soldiers, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, which is enough to easily suppress the elite of King Annan." ”

There were not 500,000 troops on the south bank, but in fact there were 400,000, and most of them were guards and local soldiers. There are 400,000 troops, and there are only two Liu Huang troops with more than 100,000 soldiers who dare to fight. But the Han army on the opposite side only had tens of thousands of horses, so Shi Kefa estimated: No matter how bad the Ming army is, it can suppress Chen Xiong.

Gao Jie nodded wordlessly, the 500,000 troops on the other side were enough to suppress the Han army, and even defeat the king of Annan.

Seeing that Gao Jie was moved, Shi Kefa immediately spoke: "There are more than 10,000 cavalry of the Han army outside the city, and 45,000 infantry troops, and the total number is only 50,000 or 60,000. And our army has more than 200,000 troops, several times larger than the Han army, which is enough to destroy these Han troops. Tomorrow morning, the army went out of the city, defeated the Han army in one fell swoop, and then crushed the king of Annam. Even if he escapes with a boat, the Han army will be greatly injured. ”

Shi Kefa is still full of confidence, after all, the number of Han troops is too small.

"Honorable Order." Gao Jie immediately received the order, but his heart was heavy inside. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Plants and Trees of the Late Ming Dynasty" for free reading for the first time.
