Chapter 454: Defrauding Jiangyin is the second update for the mountain giant's jade pei

Chen Mingyu's martial arts are high, he and Shi Lang can't beat Shi Lang after killing for a long time, but at such a distance, Su Moer shook his hand, and Shi Lang's sword fell into the light, what kind of secret weapon is this? Many of the thousands of generals present did not see it clearly, and they were all stunned.

These 10,000 sailors trained in Dagukou, of course, don't know the details of Su Mo'er, just now these female battalions showed their skills in the water, they have admired the five-body throwing to the ground, and some even feel ashamed, the same sailors, they are not as good as women, and now when they see Su Mo'er's skills, they feel a little hidden, look at the people who came to the prison country are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, all masters.

This is really in response to that sentence, there are no weak soldiers under strong generals!

These generals couldn't help but feel a little more awe of their prison lords.

After Shi Lang was captured and captured, the 16,000 sailors under his command soon disappeared, and the Lord was captured without a leader, and the more than 16,000 people were probably divided into three parts, some were killed and wounded, some surrendered, and some jumped into the river and absconded.

But their fate was the same, because a large area of water around them was surrounded by Ming army sailors, and more than 100 ships of all sizes had surrounded it. As long as the southern soldiers who jumped into the water showed their heads, they were not killed by random shots, but their spears were pierced with toads or shot by bows and arrows in the river, or they were re-caught on the shore, and some drowned in the inner river, in short, none of them were spared.

This water battle also did not last long, from Lin Yi's fleet passing by and destroying several batteries on the shore, to the annihilation of more than 16,000 people, in less than two hours, more than 9,000 people, including Shi Lang, were captured, and nearly 100 warships, including wrecked ships.

These wrecked ships are like the Wounded Soldier, some of them can still be used after repair, and some of them have no repair value, but they can use their materials to repair other ships.

Now Shi Lang was brought up to see Lin Yi on the giant ship Yangwei, Shi Lang raised his eyebrows and refused to surrender, stood without kneeling, and only begged for death.

"Haha," Lin Yi smiled, "You want to die?" Lord Ben doesn't want you to die, I'm a soldier with enough food now, and I can still afford to raise you for nothing, come and take him down for me! ”

Someone agreed and took Shi Lang down.

After completely annihilating Shi Lang's sailors, Lin Yi's soldiers divided into two routes, one part stayed to clean up the battlefield, watch the prisoners, and deal with post-war affairs, and some went ashore and sent another public faction. The Yangwei docked, and the 3,000 soldiers and generals who came to the door all put on the clothes of the Southern Army, and found a few people who were willing to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions from the captured Southern Army generals. Chen Mingyu was responsible for leading the team, and these 3,000 soldiers disguised themselves as the Southern Army, and after going ashore, they went straight to Jiangyin County......

Jiangyin is the city of Jiangyin in later generations, and in the Ming Dynasty he was still a county seat, under the jurisdiction of Changzhou Prefecture. But don't look at it as a county seat, this is a river defense fortress, a place where soldiers must fight.

As early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangyin set up the Jiangyin guard, and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were prevalent, and more than a dozen forts were added here in order to prevent the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

It's just that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, political turmoil, internal and external troubles, corruption and incompetence in the imperial court, continuous party strife, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant and domineering, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, Jiangyin Weisu was negligent in governance, and many of the more than a dozen forts were in disrepair and abandoned.

Therefore, the arrival of the Zheng family sailor took Jiangyin County in one fell swoop. After the three dukes of Jiangyin got the reuse of Lin Linyi, they went to Nanjing to perform their duties, took the stage to worship the commander, and then led the troops to garrison Zhenjiang, the two sides confronted each other in Zhenjiang for more than a year, Lin Yi from the southwest class, non-stop to conquer the Yangtze River, and now the three dukes of Jiangyin finally want to return to their hometown from Zhenjiang.

Together with the defenders of Zhenjiang, plus the 20,000 horses brought by Lin Yi, Yan Yingyuan, Feng Houdun, Wang Jian, Dongsheng, and Zhang Hua. They were all together, a total of 80,000 people. Cooperate with Lin Yi's naval fleet to attack the southern army generals on the riverbank.

When Lin Yi and Shi Lang were fighting in the middle of the river, the 80,000 Ming troops on the shore also launched an attack on Jiangyin County.

The commander of the Southern Army guarding Jiangyin County was the adjutant general Zheng Cai, and his brother Zheng Lian.

Zheng Cai is Zheng Zhilong's son, in the early years he followed Zheng Zhilong to the sea to do business, and later submitted to Emperor Chongzhen, he and Zheng Zhilong's third brother Zheng Hongkui together in Zhenjiang as an official, Zheng Hongkui is the general soldier, Zheng Cai is the deputy chief soldier, and his younger brother Zheng Lian is the guerrilla commander.

After Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, Zheng Zhilong didn't even accept Emperor Chongzhen, how could he convince Lin Yi to supervise the country? Therefore, he declared himself as the king, abolished Ning Nanbo, who was crowned by Emperor Chongzhen, and then called himself the emperor, established the Danan regime, and the Jingshi was Fujian, and completely broke with the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian are all influential figures in the Zheng family. was also recruited by Zheng Zhilong to seek the great cause of the world. This time, as the generals of the Zheng family's water division, the two brothers also followed Shi Lang to the Yangtze River Basin.

Now the two brothers are ordered by Shi Lang to garrison Jiangyin County with more than 20,000 people, build city defenses, strengthen fortifications, and block the Ming army.

When the Ming army arrived in Jiangyin, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian held on without fighting according to Shi Lang's orders, and the Ming army concentrated its forces to storm the city.

However, the small city of Jiangyin was built as solid as gold, the city was high and the pool was deep, and there were 20,000 Zheng family troops on it to defend. In addition, there are more than a dozen fortresses of various sizes outside the city. These forts are made of stone and are very strong, and can accommodate 200, 300, and 500 people. There are shooting holes in the fort, and when the war starts, they open and shoot arrows, and some of them are also equipped with muskets and artillery, and the firepower is quite powerful, and these strong fortresses are at odds with the city defense of Jiangyin County.

This trick really worked, the Ming army attacked several times, but after all, it did not take Jiangyin County, and even there was no way to do such a fortress, and the Ming army suffered thousands of casualties.

Yan Yingyuan saw that hard work was not a way. Later, after consulting with Feng Houdun, Wang Jian, Dongsheng, Zhang Hua and other generals, it was decided to transfer the red-coated cannon. It would be easier to pull out the fortress outside the city first, and then attack the fortified city.

Before the red-clothed cannon arrived, they received Lin Yi's secret order to make a feint, and they knew that the adults had a clever plan, so they did as ordered.

Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were very happy to see that the Ming army had attacked so many wounded soldiers and lost generals, and they were helpless against their city and castle after all.

The two of them took turns to go to the city and enter the fort every day, commanding the battle, checking the posts and checking the posts, and did not dare to slack off at all.

On this day, the Ming army came to attack the city again, and the shouts were earth-shattering, and Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were fully armed and personally commanded the battle. But they found that the Ming army was now shrewd. It's very fierce, but it doesn't rain when it thunders. Not to attack the city at all, or to stop at it. As soon as the soldiers of the city returned fire, they retreated.

Zheng Cai, the two brothers, understood. Oh, the Ming army originally wanted to consume us in this way, how could we be fooled? So he ordered his generals to ignore the Ming army when they did not really attack, and not to waste bows, arrows, gunpowder and other defensive things.

At this moment, someone came to report, and the Great Commander sent people to support them.

Zheng Cai immediately went to Dongcheng, and saw that there was an army outside the city, and it was indeed their people who were dressed up, and they also knew the generals in front of them.

Zheng Cai asked them about the battle in Jiangzhong at the head of the city. The soldiers under the city told him, "Back to the words of the commander of Zheng, the great commander Shi Lang won a complete victory, Lin Yi and their naval fleet were blocked by the protective net, and then a cannon fire, sinking them countless times, and the rest surrendered, the great commander is leading the water division upstream, planning to copy the back road of the Ming army, and ordered me to help the commander defend the city, block the Ming army here, and then attack back and forth, and completely annihilate these Ming troops." ”

"Hahaha, the great commander is majestic, and he thinks thoughtfully, open the city quickly!" Zheng Cai laughed, without any suspicion, and with an order, the east gate was opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the jack gate was stirred up.

Chen Mingyu saw that the trick of the Lord Linguo was too clever, and the deception of the city was successful, and he gave an order and ordered people to rush in.

3,000 soldiers and horses flooded the drawbridge and rushed into the city like a flood that opened the floodgates. Kill people when they see them, and cut them when they see them.

"What's going on?" Zheng Cai was dumbfounded.

Chen Mingyu laughed, and pointed at the head of the city with the knife in his hand, "Haha, you traitors have been fooled, our Lord Lin has a plan, and those who know the times quickly lead your troops to surrender, Lord Lin has the virtue of a good life and does not kill the prisoners, otherwise you will all die without a place to be buried!" ”

Zheng Cai had a feeling that the world was spinning, and the darkness in front of him was almost cut off from the city, and the personal guards hurriedly held him up.

"Close the gates, pull the drawbridge, and get them out!" Zheng Cai shouted.

But is that too late? The Ming army in front had already rushed into the city, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were fighting, the southern army near the city gate was caught off guard, and some knew what was going on, so they fell in a pool of blood, and the rest scattered and fled.

At this time, the southern army at the head of the city shot arrows at the Ming army below, but after a few arrows, they were beaten into a sieve by muskets, and some were shot into hedgehogs by bows and arrows, and blood was splashed on the city gate.

Some have to pull the suspension bridge, and some go to the thousands of gates. But the loss was like rain, the bullets were like shuttles, and the southern troops above the city fell one after another. Soon Chen Mingyu commanded the Ming army to occupy the city gate, and then killed the city.

At this time, the Wan Ming army outside the south and west cities saw that there was a great chaos in the city, and Yan Yingyuan and Zhang Hua knew that it was their Lin Daren's clever plan that succeeded, and immediately led tens of thousands of Ming troops to attack the city.

The southern army in the city originally had few soldiers and horses, and this time they were embarrassed and messed up. Countless Ming troops killed the city with a charge, and Chen Mingyu took the Ming soldiers to open another city gate and let the Ming army outside in.

The defending southern army had to flee in a hurry, and the two sides started a street battle in the city, and finally Zheng Cai was defeated with the remnants of the army and was trapped on the street of Jiangyin County.

Zheng Cai saw that the general trend had gone, and he resisted stubbornly, there was only one way to die, and no one's life was blown by the wind. So he threw his sword and spear, and fell to his knees with his generals, willing to surrender. The Ming army soon occupied Jiangyin.

Then the three dukes of Jiangyin escorted Zheng Cai, and shouted out their brother Zheng Mian from the fortress outside the city, and told them all to surrender. These people also know that if the city is lost, the Lord will be captured, and they can only survive if they surrender. Therefore, they were all willing to surrender.

In this way, Jiangyin was recaptured by the Ming army, and more than 14,000 people of the southern army, including Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, were captured.

Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were taken to Lin Yi, where they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to indicate that as long as they were allowed to surrender, they were willing to make meritorious service and atone for their crimes.

Lin Yi saw that they were quite loyal, "How are you going to make meritorious contributions and forgive your sins?" ”

"Lord Hui, from now on, loyal to Lord Jianguo, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and never betray, we can open the way for the Lord to attack the Southern Army."

Lin Yi's eyes rolled to his heart, "Aren't you two also surnamed Zheng?" In this way, if Shi Lang can be made to surrender, you will make a great contribution, not only to forgive you from your sins, but also to reinstate your office. ”

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard it, "Thank you for your grace, Shi Lang's matter is on our brothers, if it doesn't work, you want the two of us to have heads!" ”
