Chapter 462 Li Dingguo Descends to Ming (II) 6600 words chapter

Zhuhai Bay, a vast sea area with a radius of several thousand square kilometers, is now covered with war clouds, and more than 300 warships of the Portuguese colonists are rushing towards the Entertainment City Peninsula with great momentum.

They have been entrenched here for nearly a hundred years, and Li Dingguo wants to get rid of them now, how can they be willing? Because the Ming army and the southern army were fighting in Liangguang, they had already strengthened their defenses here.

Especially after the trip to Guangxi, Edward, the head of the Portuguese colonizer in the entertainment city, had a broken down conversation with Lin Yi. The Ming Dynasty asked a strange question, to lease their capital Lisbon for 100 years, and of course the colonists would not agree!

With Edward's level of vision, it was already seen at that time that the leader of the Ming government, although he had not yet officially ascended the throne and sat in the palace, was called long live by his subjects, but unlike Emperor Chongzhen and the carpenter emperor Tianqi, and the Wanli Emperor, from his wise eyes and gentle face, Edward read full of domineering and strong killing intent.

During his trip to Guangxi a few months ago, experience told him that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to turn a blind eye and let them stay in the entertainment city like the previous emperor. Because the Ming army is fierce, it has already reached Liangguang.

After he consulted their king, a large number of fleets came one after another from the nearby colonies, and he put pressure on the Ming government on behalf of the policy of the Great Portuguese Empire, and in order to protect their vested interests, he threw an olive branch to Zheng Zhilong's Great Southern Empire, they wanted to disturb this sea area, stir up the Ming Dynasty, and achieve the effect of fishing in troubled waters.

In order to achieve this goal, this Edward has been busy for a while. It travels between Asia and continents, and in Asia, it travels between entertainment cities, Fujian, Nanyang and Dongyang.

Now that he and Zheng Zhilong have reached an agreement, he has made it clear in the name of the Portuguese colonial government that he will fully support Zheng Zhilong and jointly deal with Lin Yi's Ming army, and they can even directly use the army if necessary.

Edward and Zheng Zhilong hit it off, Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed, his southern army was retreating, and he urgently needed to seek help.

Edward was also satisfied, but he didn't expect that at this time, Li Dingguo stabbed him in the back. Their home in the casino was lost.

Because Li Dingguo was calling Zheng Zhilong's number, Edward was angry, he thought that Zheng Zhilong was shaking his wrist with him, returned to Nan'an halfway, and violently broke into the palace and issued an ultimatum to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong was also angry, and while patiently explaining and apologizing to Edward, he immediately ordered his fourth brother Zheng Hongkui, who was stationed in Guangdong, to lead his troops to attack Li Dingguo.

At this time, Zheng Hongkui was no longer the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, and was also crowned a prince by Zheng Zhilong, called the King of Guangdong, Guangdong was his fief, and all the southern troops in Guangdong were under his command, and he was ordered to cooperate with the Portuguese colonizers' navy to annihilate Li Dingguo in the entertainment city.

Then Zheng Zhilong and Edward marched hand in hand to deal a devastating blow to Li Dingguo's army, and then put Edward, who was still holding back Portugal for a long time.

Edward's greedy eyes rolled, and then he nodded in approval, and then learned a lot about Li Dingguo's situation. Because the one who knows Li Dingguo's details best is, of course, Zheng Zhilong. Portugal got the information about Li Dingguo from Zheng Zhilong this time, and when they learned that he only had 40,000 horses and almost no sailors, and Zheng Zhilong dispatched 80,000 troops to fully cooperate with them, advancing by land and water, and felt that Li Dingguo was definitely in a catastrophe.

Only then did he come with the fleet with confidence, and he wanted to teach Li Dingguo a lesson.

In the sea area of more than ten miles outside the entertainment city, two fleets of sailors with very different strengths met. They are all Portuguese warships, but more than a dozen against more than 300, a fraction of the Portuguese colonizer's fleet, are all more numerous by Liu Wenxiu's ships.

The disparity in the number of ships between the two sides lies in the second, and more importantly, most of the sailors under Liu Wenxiu are indiscriminate, and 5,000 of the more than 6,000 people have not undergone formal sailor training at all, but have been temporarily pulled onto the warship, and only more than 1,000 people can be called sailors.

Even these more than 1,000 people, because they did not fight, captured ten Portuguese warships this time for our use, but in just two days, they did not understand the advanced weapons of these Portuguese fleets, and they were not skilled in operation at all. It's the so-called kind of advantageous weapon, but it doesn't have combat power.

Therefore, there is little suspense in this naval battle. As soon as the two sides came into contact with Liu Wenxiu's sailors, they were defeated. As a result, the advanced Dutch battleships were so embarrassed that their own dozen battleships were blown up by a cannon fire, and Liu Wenxiu's sailors couldn't slow down at all.

Liu Wenxiu only knew that Portugal is a world maritime power, although it was replaced by the Netherlands, they were not willing to withdraw from the stage of history, and their strength was still very strong. These rabbles of theirs are simply drizzle.

Even Liu Wenxiu's command ship was shot and caught fire, but up to now, Liu Wenxiu has also let go, he gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting without retreating, more than a dozen battleships have lost most of them, and the remaining few have all been shot and caught fire, Liu Wenxiu gritted his teeth and commanded several wrecked ships, braving billowing smoke and flames, crashing into the enemy ship, preparing to sink with the enemy ship.

However, before they could get close to the enemy ships, there were a few cannon shots, and these battleships were blown to pieces, some disintegrated on the spot, some were broken off at the waist, and some of the soldiers on the ships were all killed, and the wrecked ships lost control.

Liu Wenxiu's battleship is now riddled with holes, and the ship is seriously tilted and has lost power. There was no way, Liu Wenxiu had no choice but to jump into the water to escape......

So far, the naval battle between the two sides has not been fought for half an hour, and it ended with Liu Wenxiu's complete defeat.

This sea area is full of wrecked ships and the dead and wounded of the Ming army, and the sea water is stained red with blood.

The Portuguese colonial navy shouted, led the fleet out of the smoke-filled sea, and approached the shore with a show of force.

Wang Ziqi, the general guarding the coast, led more than 10,000 generals, and had already prepared the forts, red-coated cannons, muskets, bows and arrows to prevent enemy ships from approaching and landing.

But Wang Ziqi didn't expect that Liu Wenxiu's six or seven thousand sailors would be scattered so quickly. It seems that these Portuguese navies are worthy of being maritime powers, and their naval strength is too far behind others, and they are not opponents at all.

The colonial fleet soon approached the coast, and Wang Ziqi ordered the red-coated cannons on the shore to open fire.

The Portuguese colonial navy warships, which were also equipped with long-range guns, roared ashore at this time. In this way, the artillery of both sides began to bombard.

The earth-shattering sound of artillery was like a muffled thunder in the sky, continuously exploding, deafening, and the earth shook the mountains. The water column soared into the sky, one after another.

In this way, the Portuguese fleet did not make it ashore, and the two sides temporarily ceased fighting. At this time, Liu Wenxiu climbed up from the sea, not bad, not the commander of the cursor, there were still twenty or thirty followers around him, and there were only twenty or thirty of them left among the six or seven thousand sailors, they didn't know how far they swam in the water, and now they finally came ashore.

After arriving on the shore, including Liu Wenxiu, these people were snorting and just gasping, and they were considered to have picked up a life, and they didn't say anything for a long time.

Wang Ziqi hurriedly ordered someone to help them down to rest, and quickly healed the wounds.

At the end of this day, Liu Wenxiu and their losses were heavy, the 6,000 naval division was annihilated, and the soldiers on the shore held out for a day and suffered thousands of casualties, so after a day of fighting, nearly half of the 20,000 horses were killed or wounded.

How about going on like this? Liu Wenxiu and Wang Ziqi were worried.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the Portuguese colonial fleet launched another fierce attack, Liu Wenxiu and Wang Ziqi personally commanded the battle, this time the Portuguese colonial fleet came more ferociously, and a charge broke through the resistance of the artillery fire on the shore.

Their artillery blew up the corpses of the soldiers on the shore, and many batteries were destroyed and blown up. If they continue like this, they will definitely not last a few days.

While Liu Wenxiu and Wang Ziqi were commanding the battle, they hurriedly ordered people to ask Li Dingguo for help......

The battle on the shore was also very tragic, he had to be a fierce general, not to mention Zheng Hongkui, both of them were strong in martial arts, long-standing enemy generals, and had very rich combat experience, and the two armies of 80,000 people, one left and one right, launched an attack on Li Dingguo's men and horses.

Li Dingguo originally had only 20,000 horses and had to divide his troops to resist the enemy, he and Wang Fuchen each led 10,000 horses, Wang Fuchen led 10,000 horses to deal with Zeng De's men and horses, and Li Dingguo took 10,000 horses to deal with Zheng Hongkui.

Wang Fuchen was defeated first, exposing Li Dingguo's flank to the southern army, at this time Li Dingguo was fighting a fierce battle with Zheng Hongkui's tens of thousands of troops, Li Dingguo personally charged, down the mountain tiger, ten thousand horse army, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand even picked several generals of the southern army, Zheng Hongkui was furious, patted the horse and danced the knife to take Li Dingguo, the two generals fought a few together, Li Dingguo pulled out the four-edged silver hammer, and smashed it on Zheng Hongkui's back, Zheng Hongkui spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fled from the desert.

Li Dingguo destroyed the horse and shook the halberd to chase, at this time Zheng Hongkui's two members of the army came to save Wang Jin and Zhang Cheng to attack Li Dingguo left and right, Li Dingguo took out a halberd and two generals fled, Li Dingguo took out a bow and arrow and an arrow, shot the two generals under the horse, and continued to pursue Zheng Hongkui.

The Southern Army was suddenly defeated. At this time, Wang Fuchen was defeated back, Zeng De led his troops to kill Li Dingguo's men and horses from the flank, this time Li Dingguo's men and horses were in chaos, Li Dingguo was not allowed to retreat, Zheng Hongkui was defeated for a while, he was angry and led his troops to kill back, this time Li Dingguo suffered from the enemy on his back, and immediately won and lost.

Li Dingguo was defeated and returned to Xiangshan, and the southern army chased him to Xiangshan.

At this time, Liu Wenxiu's urgent letter for help arrived, but he didn't expect his third brother to also suffer defeat, even worse than him, Li Dingguo was anxious, where was there a soldier to save them, he had dreamed that Liu Wenxiu could win, and took out some soldiers to go ashore to resist the enemy, but now all of them have come to naught. The defeat of the naval division and the defeat on the shore made matters worse.

Now Li Dingguo's 20,000 horses have also suffered most of the casualties, it seems that this time there is more than luck, Li Dingguo calmed down, he must withdraw from the entertainment city island, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated.

At this time, someone came to report that the Ming army led by Gao Guiying had taken Zhaoqing and came straight to Jiangmen. At the same time, Li Yan led a Ming division to Lianke Yangjiang, Yangchun and Enzhou counties, and the soldiers had arrived in Xinning, that is, the area of Taishan City, Guangdong Province.

Li Dingguo suddenly felt the catastrophe. Now that I am surrounded by enemies on all sides, is the sky going to kill me Li Dingguo?

Two days later, Zheng Hongkui and Zeng De led the southern army from Xiangshan to the entertainment city island, Edward's colonial fleet also landed, the generals of the Great Western Army Wang Ziqi and Wang Fuchen were killed one after another, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu only had five or six thousand men and horses left, and forty thousand horses were left with this bit of family foundation.

Trapped on the island, his soldiers asked Li Dingguo what to do? Li Dingguo looked up to the sky and sighed: "Only if you die in battle, apologize to your father, and never surrender!" ”

At this time, tens of thousands of southern troops and Portuguese colonial troops rushed up, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu led five or six thousand men and horses to start a bloody battle to kill the enemy, and the Great Western Army was killed and wounded everywhere.

"Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, you are already cornered, surrender quickly, otherwise there will be a dead end!" Zheng Hongkui, Zeng De, and Edward shouted at Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu scolded non-stop.

"If you are so ignorant of current affairs, you will be wiped out, and no one will be left!" Zheng Hongkui, Zeng De, and the Portuguese Edward shouted one after another.

Just when they were completely annihilating Li Dingguo's troops, someone suddenly reported that tens of thousands of Ming troops had copied the rear routes of the Southern Army and the Portuguese colonial fleet from the sea and from the shore......

Gao Guiying and Li Yan, who had already taken Gaozhou, had of course been paying attention to the war in the area of the entertainment city for a long time, but they were instructed by Lin Yi to stop attacking Li Dingguo, and the spear was directed at Zheng Zhilong's southern army and the Portuguese colonial army.

After Li Yan and Gao Guiying's careful deployment, their troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Gao Guiying to attack the rear of the Southern Army from the shore, this road was the main force of a total of 70,000 troops, and the generals under them were Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi, and there were also tens of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry, including the Mongolian generals Tie Shu Buhua, Su Butai, and Minmin Muter's camel cannon, which can be called a walking red-coated cannon, suitable for siege and mountain combat.

The other way is a partial division with a total of 30,000 horses, led by Li Yan, and his generals include Huang Degong, Zu Keyong, etc.,

With the cooperation of the local naval division, they attacked the coastal states and counties all the way.

These two people are invincible. Gao Guiying's army of 70,000 easily took Zhaoqing, then penetrated directly into Jiangmen, and then attacked Xiangshan, starting from behind Zheng Hongkui and Zeng De.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. The Southern Army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Zheng Hongkui and Zeng De hurriedly ordered a retreat, and in a scuffle, the southern army threw down the casualties, fled in embarrassment, and ran back to Guangzhou through Dongguan.

At the same time that the Confederates were attacked, the Portuguese colonial army was also on fire behind the buttocks.

With the support of the governor of Guangxi, Li Yan quickly collected more than 400 large war ships, including some fishing boats, which were personally commanded by Li Yan, Zu Keyong, and Iron Whip General Huang Degong, and tens of thousands of sailors boarded more than 400 warships, all under the banner of the Southern Army in order to paralyze the enemy.

On the vast sea of Zhuhai Bay, in the sea area behind the warships of the Portuguese colonists on the coast of the entertainment city, a dense crowd of Southern warships suddenly appeared.

In terms of equipment and combat power, although this naval army is not at the same level as Lin Yi's royal sailor, it is also very powerful at this time.

A cannon fire to these colonial warships to the fire, thick smoke billowing, water columns in all directions, the few colonial troops on the ship were in a mess at that time, they quickly organized a counterattack, but the two sides did not fight for long, the Ming ships surrounded them, and then the ship was a white-knives fight, at this time the main force of these colonial troops was still on the shore to encircle and annihilate Li Dingguo, and there were not many colonial troops left on the ship, so it was very happy that these warships were controlled, some were blown up and sunk, and some were burned.

More than 300 warships were paralyzed at that time, lost their combat effectiveness, and became prisoners of the Ming army.

Li Yan, Huang Degong, and Zu Keyong led the army to kill ashore.

The Southern Army was suddenly in chaos in the rear, with earth-shattering artillery fire coming from the sea, and the Portuguese colonial army was also in chaos.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu's men and horses lit up, and they immediately shook their spirits and fought bravely to kill the enemy, killing the Southern Army and the Portuguese colonial army to scatter and flee, and the wolves rushed to the front.

Seeing that the Portuguese colonists who were about to win could stay here for a long time, this was really a treasure of feng shui, but they didn't expect to be attacked by the enemy in the blink of an eye, and they suffered heavy casualties.

After Edward figured out what was going on, he cried out and quickly led his men to retreat, but there was no way to escape, and the casualties of his soldiers increased exponentially, and finally he fled with more than 100 men, ran to the east coast, and fled to the northern seas on a small ship......

Li Yan and Gao Guiying were in the entertainment city island where the soldiers were united, and tens of thousands of troops trapped Li Dingguo's Western army in it.

At this time, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu have been fighting fiercely for three days and three nights, and now there are only about 1,000 people left, and there are many wounded, the think tank Wang Zhaolin and the general Wang Fuchen all died in the chaos, Li Dingguo was covered in blood, Liu Wenxiu was also wounded, this thousand men and horses were embarrassed, trapped by the heavy troops of the Ming army, and it was effortless to annihilate them.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu only then knew who saved them, but this is the enemy, their hearts are cold, this time there is no way to live, but think about it again, dying in the hands of the Southern Army and dying in the hands of the Portuguese colonial army is no different from dying in the hands of the Ming army!

They were just about to fight to the death, when Li Yan spoke, "Li Dingguo, our Lord Jianguo won't let you use soldiers, you have handed over shit luck, you can go!" As he spoke, he shouted to his subordinate generals, "Wait and listen, dodge the way, and let them go!" ”

These Ming soldiers were really obedient, and they gave Li Dingguo's men and horses a hula to clear the way.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were stunned, they couldn't believe that it was true at this time, and the defeated soldiers of more than 1,000 people under their command also felt that the world was about to fall into the cake.

When Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu took the defeated soldiers out of Entertainment City Island, dozens of miles, they stopped to rest their troops and rest their horses, and when they heard that they were going to rest, these soldiers and generals all staggered, and some of them fell asleep while walking.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were also tired and exhausted, and the two fell asleep leaning against the tree, and when they woke up again, more than three hours had passed, and it was already dark. A few of these generals got up, but they were still listless, and some were still asleep, some of them were too injured and overworked, and they were no longer breathing......

The two rubbed their eyes and lit a fire.

"Second brother, where do we go next?" Liu Wenxiu asked Li Dingguo.

"I don't know." Li Dingguo shook his head.

"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Third brother, you and I are better than biological brothers, if you have something to say."

"Let's surrender...... The surname Lin is a good man. Liu Wenxiu's words have been held in his stomach for a long time, and he finally said it.

Li Dingguo was a little surprised, it turned out that he already had this intention in his heart, he had dealt with Lin Yi for a long time, Lin Yi had already caught him twice, if he wanted to catch him on Entertainment City Island, it would be the third time, and he didn't poison him, these before and after, of course he thought about it when no one was there, but as the sole commander of the Great Western Army, it was difficult for him to surrender, now it's okay, Liu Wenxiu's intention is exactly what he wants......

A few days later, Li Dingguo rested his troops and horses, and came to Entertainment City Island with more than 1,000 people, and the Ming soldiers guarding the island immediately aimed countless muskets and cannons at them.

"Don't get me wrong, we're not here to fight, we're going to see Mrs. Gao and Commander Li Yan." Li Dingguo shouted.

At this time, Gao Guiying and Li Yan were commanding their soldiers to clean up the battlefield, take care of the spoils, and deal with post-war affairs. This battle was quite fruitful, annihilating more than 10,000 people of the Southern Army, annihilating more than 4,000 people of the Portuguese colonial army, and destroying more than 20,000 enemies in one piece. More than 200 warships of the Portuguese colonists were captured, of which more than 120 could be used directly, and 35 could be used for simple repairs. Some can only be repaired with broken parts and used by other warships.

From land to sea, this battle between Gao Guiying and Li Yan took many days, and the fierce battle lasted several days, and it also took some time to deal with post-war matters.

At this time, someone came to report that Li Dingguo was back again, Gao Guiying and Li Yan were stunned, and asked the reporter in detail, and soon Gao Guiying and Li Yan appeared in the sight of Li Dingguo and others with the generals.

Li Yan said: "Li Dingguo, you dare to come back, what do you want to see us?" ”

"We want to surrender to the Ming ......"

When Li Yan heard this, he looked at each other with Gao Guiying and the other generals, and then nodded, Li Yan said: "This has to be decided by the Lord of the Prison State, how can the Ming Dynasty surrender if you want to surrender and fight if you want?" ”

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu blushed, gritted their teeth at the end, and threw their guns.

"Coming, all of them are tied up, listen to the edict of the Lord of the Prison Country...... Li Yan and Gao Guiying were still afraid that they would be cheating, and with an order, the soldiers of the Ming army rushed over and tied up Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, more than 1,000 people, and then reported to Lin Yixing......

Lin Yi, who was resting in Changguo County, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he received this excerpt, the results of the entertainment city were too impressive, he wiped out so many southern troops, obtained such a large piece of territory, expelled the Portuguese colonists, recovered the entertainment city, and surrendered Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, two tiger generals whom he had long admired, which was of great significance, even worthy of his battle of Jiangyin and the sum of the naval battle of Zhoushan.

Lin Yi was overjoyed and immediately gave instructions on the excerpt, praised Gao Guiying and Li Yan and other soldiers, allowed Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu to surrender, and treated them preferentially according to the prisoners.

The excerpt was sent out, and Xiao Ying was very happy to see Lin Yi today, and said, "Congratulations to Brother Lin for finally accepting Li Dingguo, and tonight he will sing and dance." ”

"Well, I have this intention, Li Dingguo's talent is not inferior to Shi Lang, Liu Wenxiu's talent is not inferior to Li Dingguo, and we have a large number of advanced ships, and we have won a great victory in the Zhoushan naval battle, so it's time to celebrate. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy, and the whole army is congratulated! ”

Lin Yi gave an order, and the three armies of the Mabu Water Division were jubilant, killing cattle and sheep and rewarding the three armies.

That night, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, and Su Moer arranged a sumptuous banquet for Lin Yi, and poured wine and cloth dishes for Lin Yi......

Lin Yi's excerpt arrived at Guangdong Entertainment City, Li Yan read Lin Yi's edict in public, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu and other 1,000 captives were all released, knelt down a large area, kowtowed and thanked him, and the most grateful to Dade were of course Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu......

At this time, a fleet of Sakura Country arrived at Hongshan Port in Quanzhou, Fujian, and after docking, hundreds of Sakura Country ronin came down from the ship, one by one with swords and swords, led by three people, one middle-aged, two young, one of them was a beautiful woman, dressed in black, which was particularly eye-catching, and hurried to the capital of the Great Southern Empire......
