Chapter 159: Battle of Ganghwa Island IV

Huang Wu had no choice at all.

can only put his old foundation on top.

Huang Wu's descendants are the original Zheng army. This number is not much, only a few thousand, of which a considerable number of people are scattered to the whole army as officers, and some Huang Wu remains by his side, forming the most effective army among the Qing army's water divisions.

It's just that these centaurs, one less dead, are extremely difficult to replenish, or impossible to replenish at all.

Only by filling in these elite troops can they resist Zhou Quanbin's attack.

Just like the Shaanxi people before it, there was another civil war between the Fujian people. For traitors, the Zheng family never hesitated to send them to death, so when they found out that the opposite side was a fellow Fujian villager, the Zheng family's fleet, instead of stopping, killed even more fiercely.

The roaring cannons were almost continuous.

There were a lot of shells from afar, just near the pontoon, a column of water rose to the sky, and then smashed on the pontoon, the pontoon bridge seemed to be drenched into a ball of soup chicken, even so, the Qing soldiers and soldiers also did not care about anything one by one, almost at the speed of rushing, broke through.

Countless chaotic footsteps on top of the pontoons, which are made of boats juxtaposed, with wooden planks in between. Therefore, when a cannonball hits the nearby water, it is immediately affected by the impact of the water, causing the pontoon bridge to shake constantly.

Some of the Qing soldiers could not stand on their feet at all, and were planted in the water from the pontoon bridge. The struggle to keep in the water.

But there was not even a single soldier left to rescue.

Because each and every one of them knows that time is running out for them.

Everyone knows that Huang Wu can't last long.

Just when the Qing army was not finished, several ships with flames crashed into the pontoon. Immediately, the flames on the ship ignited the pontoon, and countless soldiers screamed loudly and smashed into the water, and the pontoon fell apart under the impact.

"News just came." Bolo said to Azig: "Huang Wu has died in battle. ”

Azig said: "It's a pity for Huang Wu. ”

Azig said pity, but there was no trace of pity on his face.

Huang Wu was of course important, but in exchange for the lives of thousands of Eight Banner disciples with Huang Wu's small life, Azig didn't even blink an eye. Now, although some of the soldiers did not withdraw, they either smashed the pontoon bridge into the water, or stayed on Ganghwa Island.

Although these soldiers are still there, in the face of this river, it is a natural danger that can never be crossed. Their end was already preordained.

However, this is not on Azig's heart.

At this moment, the Eight Banners Army under the command of Azig,

The green battalion of the Han army, the Korean subordinate army, is counted as more than 100,000, even if thousands of Han soldiers have been lost now, Azig doesn't care at all. It's just that Azig is not in a good mood now.

Because he can see the turning point of this battle, his future opponent is not Zhou Fuchen, but Zheng Chenggong.

Former subordinates were defeated.

"Let's go. It's okay here on Ganghwa Island. Azig said.

Azig threw off his horse, and the army of the Eight Banners followed, and the rest of the army followed them.

Just more than 100 zhang away from Azig, on a big boat on the river, Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck, raised a clairvoyant mirror, and watched the departure of the Qing army carefully. ”

The defeat of Nanjing was the worst battle that Zheng Chenggong fought.

This battle ruined all Zheng Chenggong's thoughts about the world. Zheng Chenggong grew up from childhood to adulthood, and it was not smooth sailing. But he has not experienced such a big setback, and even he can only be a minister under Zhang Xuan's rank from now on, most of the reasons are that under the Battle of Nanjing, the Zheng family's army elite was lost.

Even if Zheng Chenggong is in command again, most of the army under his command is Zhang Xuan's subordinates, and a small half is local soldiers, and he is even ready to pull up some men and horses from North Korea. But his Zheng family is in the army, almost none.

This is still the after-effects of the original war.

From the Zheng family to 100,000 soldiers, to now, there are only some garrison troops guarding the courtyard, and the difference between heaven and earth is because of the Battle of Nanjing. How can Zheng Chenggong forget.

However, he couldn't be more unhappy in his heart. I also know that at this moment, the soldiers should not be angry and raise the division, and this battle will stabilize Jianghua Island and move the situation back. But that only allowed him to get his feet on his feet, and it will take some time for the real counterattack to come.

When Zheng Chenggong went to the island, Liu Guoxuan had already settled the matter on Jianghua Island, and the Qing army remaining on Jianghua Island was cleaned up. The generals led by Zhou Fuchen came to greet Zheng Chenggong.

After the greetings, Zheng Chenggong said: "General Zhou, Your Majesty has a holy decree. ”

When Zhou Fuchen heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Zhou Fuchen had been worried about the situation before, and he didn't think much about his personal fate, and under the news of the victory, his spirit was a little excited, and he didn't think much about it, but at this moment, he remembered his personal fate, although he didn't read the holy decree, but Zhou Fuchen had already guessed it in his heart.

Immediately, Zheng Chenggong read the holy decree, and it was Zhang Xuan's disposition of Zhou Fuchen and exiled him to Nanyang.

Zhou Fuchen had a sad wry smile on his face and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zheng Chenggong stepped forward to help Zhou Fuchen up and said, "Okay, General Zhou still has a place in the Sacred Heart, just a tribulation, it's nothing, there will definitely be a comeback." ”

Zhou Fuchen said: "Thank you for your relief, I know this battle, I messed up." In today's situation, it is self-inflicted. For a moment, he thought of Ruan Jin. He didn't know what to think of Ruan Jin, although he said that death is greater. But Ruan Jin defeated such a crucial battle, such a big gap between the enemy and us, no matter how you look at it, you should win the battle.

If Ruan Jin hadn't died in battle, Zhou Fuchen would have killed all the people surnamed Ruan among the sailors.

Even if Zhou Fuchen will go to work, he still has power before he leaves. As Zheng Chenggong said, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Xia Army knew that Zhou Fuchen was Zhang Xuan's subordinate team, even if he was dismissed today. No one dared to look down on Zhou Fuchen.

"General Zhou, what can you teach me about the Korean war situation?" Zheng Chenggong said with a smile.

Zhou Fuchen said: "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave? ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "Anything on the battlefield can happen, and General Zhou is just tired of people." Could it be that when General Zhou was leaving, he really had nothing to say about the Korean war situation? ”

Zhou Fuchen was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, there is always something to say." ”

The pier was not the place to talk, the two men found a room, and someone served tea. Zhou Fuchen said: "In this battle, Ruan Jin misunderstood me. But I also mistook General Yang, and it was very tragic to think about it, and there was nothing to say about the situation like this. ”

"Korea is a peninsula, and although most of the battles are fought on land, it is the sea that really determines the outcome of the war. Of course, there is nothing to say about this point for the prince. ”

"Don't expect much from North Koreans. We can't count on the Koreans in the war, we can only rely on ourselves, and it is also because the proportion of the Xia army is too small, otherwise even if there are some setbacks at sea, it may not be impossible to turn the tables, but although the Koreans can't expect it, they have not achieved enough things and have more than enough defeats. I also have to offer that Buddha. ”

Zheng Chenggong understood and knew that this Buddha was King Han.

Zhou Fuchen thought about it carefully, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and didn't think there was anything to say. Then he said: "I lost my troops and generals, because I was incompetent, not that there were no talents in the army, Wen had Zhou Chang, and Wu had Liang Huafeng." are all first-class talents, Zhou Chang entered Seoul alone, went to the North Korean hundred officials, and went down to the North Korean soldiers. presided over the affairs of Ganghwa Island, never neglected, and most importantly, the most important thing was to deal with King Han. Although Liang Huafeng is a general, he is loyal to the imperial court, although he is fighting in the Taibai Mountains and Xiaobai Mountains at this moment, he is hundreds of miles away, and he is the mastermind. Let the Qing army be uneasy. ”

"It's all first-class talent."

"I'm leaving today. But these people will be left to the prince, please make good use of them. ”

Zheng Chenggong wrote down the names of these two people in his heart and said, "Okay." ”

Then it became Zheng Chenggong's question, and Zhou Fuchen answered.
