Chapter 452: Burning the granary
Zhao Yong next made a decision that shocked everyone, which was to burn down the granary.
Zheng Chenggong did not give him specific orders before, only told him to act at the right time. As long as you can hold back the "Japanese Bandits".
But after Zhao Yong learned the true identity of these "widows", the anger in his chest had nowhere to vent, so he decided to have a big vote.
The importance of a granary is self-evident to an army, so it must be well defended. But Zhao Yong was fearless.
After resting in the bushes to avoid being searched by the "Japanese Invaders", he led his men closer to the granary.
The granary of Jiushan Island is located in the north of the center of the island, and Zhao Yong led his troops to climb over some low hills, and the scene can be clearly seen from a high position.
I saw that there were about 500 "Japanese robbers" stationed around the granary, and they were very cautious in patrolling and changing guards, and even when they were resting, they only took a nap, and they would never sleep well.
After weighing it, Zhao Yong realized that it was not easy to attack, so he decided to divide his troops.
First, he sent a part of the men to lead away the main force stationed in the "Japanese Invaders", and then he personally led another part of the people to take the opportunity to kill and burn down the granary.
The plan is perfect, but the implementation depends on the situation.
Zhao Yong was not a procrastinator, he immediately ordered his deputy to order three hundred people to kill from the front, creating a big movement.
The "Japanese robbers" around the granary were shocked when they saw that hundreds of people were suddenly killed.
However, after all, they were battle-hardened veterans, and they quickly calmed down and lined up to meet the enemy.
The task of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court is to lure away these "Japanese robbers", so naturally they cannot do their best.
After they fought with the "Japanese Invaders", they feigned defeat, and the "Japanese Invaders" who were not happy to kill them naturally pursued and killed them.
Zhao Yong, who was standing on the high post and observing, was overjoyed when he saw this.
He didn't need too long, as long as he could have a stick of incense, he could burn all the grain in the granary.
If the "Japanese Invaders" run out of food, the army will definitely have no intention of defending under the discouragement, and then General Zheng can take advantage of the situation to land and take Jiushan Island.
......
......
The fire was too big.
Zheng Sanhu can be seen in the distance.
Although it is not possible to determine the exact location of the fire, judging from the general direction, it should not be far from the location of the granary. Although Zheng Sanhu didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that if the granary was really burned down, it would be a catastrophe.
"Quick, send someone to see where the fire started from."
At this moment, Zheng Sanhu was already in a state of confusion, and he had no time to care about the search of the whole island, only thinking about how to keep the granary.
......
......
Zheng Chenggong immediately noticed the change in the mentality of the "Japanese Invaders".
Somehow, the "Japanese Bandits" on the island became much more panicked, and even began to deform with many movements.
This is excellent news for the officers and men of the Naval Division.
Zheng Chenggong naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. He ordered his subordinates to attack with all their might and strive for a successful beach-grabbing landing.
It seems that Zhao Yong and the others have landed on the island and created great chaos on the island.
Otherwise, Zheng Chenggong couldn't imagine how the would-be wouldn't suddenly become chaotic.
He must seize this opportunity to land on the island, otherwise wouldn't he be sorry for the hard work of Zhao Yong and others?
The terrain of Jiushan Island is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the most difficult thing is to complete the step of landing on the island.
Once the landing is successful, the rest will be much simpler.
Zheng Chenggong believed that the army he had carefully trained would be able to wipe out the Japanese in one fell swoop.
......
......
When Zheng Sanhu saw the granary burned to ruins, the anger in his heart was difficult to describe in words.
This bunch of waste can't even guard a granary.
As a result, they will be very passive. Even if they can barely hold Jiushan Island, as long as the officers and soldiers want to consume it, they can blockade all the ports and starve Zheng Sanhu and others to death.
Of course, there are some wild animals in the dense forests of Jiushan Island, but this alone is not enough to survive.
Zheng Sanhu knew very well how the soldiers would feel when they learned that they had run out of food.
Do you want to keep it going? Of course not.
Zheng Sanhu has already made a decision.
Flee, fleeing without looking back.
He didn't even have time to inform his subordinates who were still on the defensive, and personally ordered his subordinates to sail from a port.
The location of the port here is very hidden, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have not yet discovered it.
However, when Zheng Sanhu's feet stepped on the deck, his heart was still full of unwillingness. He clenched his fists and vowed, "I'll be back, wait, wait!" ”
......
......
Under the onslaught in turns, Zheng Chenggong finally led his troops to break through the blockade of the "Japanese Invaders" and successfully landed on the beach.
However, through the questioning of the captives, no trace of the Japanese leader was found.
Zheng Chenggong concluded that it must be this robber leader who fled ahead of time when he saw that the situation was wrong.
Zheng Chenggong ordered these captives to be temporarily taken into custody and personally went to find Zhao Yong, who had made great contributions.
Zhao Yong was a little embarrassed. Ever since he knew that these would-be robbers were Zheng Zhilong's private soldiers, he didn't know how to face Zheng Chenggong.
Although Zheng Chenggong is dedicated to the country, no matter how he says that Zheng Zhilong is also his father, how should he deal with himself when he learns that the southeast plague that plagues the Son of Heaven is his own father?
But what needs to be faced is something to be faced.
After accepting Zheng Chenggong's praise, Zhao Yong asked him to step back and give the two a chance to be alone.
Although Zheng Chenggong was very puzzled, he still granted Zhao Yong's request.
"Now you can speak."
But he saw Zhao Yong fall to the ground with a thud, kowtow to Zheng Chenggong and said, "General Zheng, I learned a piece of news this time, and I don't dare to hide it from General Zheng." I also asked General Zheng not to be angry when he learned about it. ”
Zheng Chenggong smiled slightly: "Zhao Yong, it doesn't hurt if you say it's okay, you will not be angry." ”
Zhao Yong sighed in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Here's the thing. He captured a captive and learned from him that these were not real widows, but ......"
"What is it?"
"It's Nan'anhou, the private soldier of Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian."
Zheng Chenggong heard the smile on his face instantly froze here, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times before asking, "What you said is the truth?" ”
"The lowly doesn't dare to lie, but the lowly thinks he can interrogate more prisoners, after all, the captives might..."
"You don't have to say any more."
Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and said, "This matter will have its own plan. ”
Zheng Chenggong's heart was already in a mess at the moment, but he still had to pretend to be calm.
"Yes. Retired from his position. ”
Zhao Yong also knew that Zheng Chenggong needed time to calm down and calm down, so he respectfully retired.
After Zhao Yong retreated, Zheng Chenggong raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.
Why, why is God always against him.
He finally made this achievement, only to find that his opponent with the court was his father.
What a mockery this is?
