Chapter 466: Bloody Battle in Wenzhou (1)
The horse ran like a cloud, covered in sweat, but the general of the horse was still too slow, and whipped his whip tightly, shouting at the pedestrians in the road. Frightened, the men, women and children on the road dodged one after another, and there was an old man with bad legs and feet, and he was carrying a burden, because he couldn't dodge and fell a butt pier.
But the general ignored it completely, bypassed the old man, and still whipped his horsewhip and galloped forward.
Lin Yi could see clearly in the city, and he had a premonition that Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian might be unfavorable, so he hurriedly stopped him.
Lin Yi and Shi Lang, Xiao Ying and Zhezhe and others went down to the city, and intercepted this general at the horse road at the gate of the city.
Seeing Lin Yi and the others, this person quickly fell to his knees with a thud, and said breathlessly: "Report, my lord, the big thing is not good, the villain is Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's subordinates, we were defeated, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were both captured, they have surrendered, we have suffered heavy casualties, and the whole army has been annihilated......"
Although Lin Yi expected it, his face changed when he heard this, although he was not good at being happy, and he had the calmness of Mount Tai crashing in front of him without being surprised, but within two days of the 10,000 army, he had no return, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian defected to the enemy?
Since Lin Yi crossed over, and even since he put on the military uniform, including before the crossing, he had never fought such a miserable defeat.
At this time, Shi Lang's face couldn't hold back, and blurted out and scolded, "I have long seen that the two of them are not things, the adults should have killed them in the first place, they should have been ungrateful, eating inside and out, surrendering this today, surrendering that tomorrow, and then falling into my hands, they must be dismantled, please condemn the people." ”
Shi Lang said with a look of shame on his face, and knelt down for Lin Yi.
"What is the sin of the Grand Commander? The two of them have nothing to do with you. ”
Of course, Lin Yi can't condemn Shi Lang, because this is Shi Lang's subordinates, when he sent troops, he had already asked himself, and he nodded and agreed, if Shi Lang committed the crime of negligence with useful people, even he could not escape the blame.
You can't learn from Emperor Chongzhen, use your supreme imperial power, only take credit for yourself, and if something goes wrong, you will be angry with your courtiers. In the end, the hundred officials did not dare to admonish themselves, and the traitorous ministers took power and harmed the country, all of them disobeyed the yang and the yin, and finally had no way out, and he had to hang himself on the crooked neck tree of the coal mountain.
What Chongzhen left him was a living textbook, and Lin Yi had to know that even with supreme power, he could not abuse it. In the textbooks of his previous life, Li Shimin had already told him that the king is the boat, the subjects are the water, and the water can also carry the boat or overturn the boat.
Shi Lang was grateful, "Thank you for your kindness, Shi Lang is not talented, I am willing to lead a group of men and horses out of the city to resist the enemy, if you see Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, the two scum, you must kill them, please give an edict." ”
Lin Yi shook his head, it was not that he didn't believe Shi Lang, but he felt that he couldn't easily send troops anymore, because he knew that although Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were not good in character, their skills were not low.
Being able to eat his 10,000 horses in one battle shows that the comer is too unkind. The art of war knows that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and it must be figured out how Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's 10,000-strong army suffered defeat.
Lin Yi then questioned the chief flag officer who reported the incident in detail, and the chief flag explained the incident in detail......
Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were ordered to take 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to kill the enemy, and the two of them felt that their faces were very bright, and they were able to send them both out with so many soldiers who were accustomed to fighting, which showed that the Lord of the Prison Country trusted and valued them very much.
The two of them felt honored, and vowed to cherish this opportunity, go there to fight a big victory, make meritorious achievements, and seal their wives and sons. What a glorious thing that must be!
Now the defeat of the Yugoslav army is decided. It was simply vulnerable in front of the Ming army. The southern army everywhere is winning the battle, especially their people, whether it is the sailor or the army on the shore, as long as the front arrives, the southern army only has two words, either flee or surrender. Who doesn't want to win such a battle, this credit is as cheap as picking it up for nothing.
This time I finally grabbed it, the fifth child of the Zheng family is not a big deal, when he was 18 Zhi, he was indeed brilliant, but now the times have changed, it has been decades, and the era that belongs to them has passed!
Therefore, the two brothers were enthusiastic, and they gathered their soldiers and horses, and they were less than 40 miles out of the city to facilitate the encounter of the southern army.
The two sides set up a battlefield in the field, and the southern army came with a total of 70,000 soldiers and horses on the shore this time, of course, it was their front that fought against Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, with a total of 3,000 elite soldiers.
It is also Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, the two brothers, who have won battles since they surrendered, and more importantly, because the two of them are indeed strong in martial arts, and they have a set of leading troops to fight, they are famous generals in the Zheng family, and after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, they are still Shi Lang's right-hand men, and Lin Yi also admires them, so they don't take the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Army in their eyes at all.
The commander-in-chief of these 3,000 soldiers and horses is Chen Liangcheng, Chen Liangcheng is not famous, but his father is Chen Zhenji, as we all know, Zheng Zhilong's early development of 18 heroes called Eighteen Zhi, they worshipped in Taiwan, and agreed to live and die together.
In fact, there are far more than these 18 people who worship Zheng Zhilong, when he was in the cherry blossom country in the early years, Zheng Zhilong was a character who was not afraid of heaven and earth, in the cherry blossom country, they had a total of 26 people to worship, and they made a big event together, ready to create a rebellion of the people of the cherry blossom country, but the matter was revealed, and they fled to Taiwan. This Chen Xinji is one of the 26 brothers of life and death who Zheng Zhilong worshipped in the Sakura Country, and like Zheng Zhilong, he is also the leader of an armed group of pirates and maritime merchants.
Later, Chen Jiji died in Taiwan, and his son Chen Liangcheng came to the mainland to defect to Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong remembered the past when he saw him, and took special care of him, and he also had two strokes on his ability, so since then he has joined the military generals group of the Great Southern Empire.
This time Zheng Zhibao went on the expedition, and the vanguard officer fell to Chen Liangcheng, Chen Liangcheng is not very old, he is twenty-three or four years old this year, and he has completely inherited his father's ruthless character.
And this time he has 800 special helpers around him, these people are from the cherry blossom country, not soldiers who do not wear military uniforms, they are all wearing black robes and long robes, and the subjects of the Ming Dynasty are different at a glance, wearing long knives at their waists, and their ears and eyes emit a fierce light. These 800 people are drowned behind 3,000 people, and they are not conspicuous at all.
After all, the field battlefield is different from the battle of fortifications, and there is no need for artillery support, and the emphasis is on the brave who meets the two armies to win. There is a sense of superiority in his heart, and he has an absolute advantage in numbers, so Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian commanded their soldiers and horses to kill them with a charge.
The soldiers reached 10,000 boundless, and the Ming army rushed over like a sea of mountains.
Chen Liangcheng commanded 3,000 southern troops to meet the enemy, and when he saw the ferocity of the Ming army, he immediately ordered the archers and musketeers to start shooting.
Papapa, there are muskets in the Southern Army, but they are too backward, these muskets are not the same grade as Lin Yi's muskets, but the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian are not equipped with the most advanced new muskets, this distance of about 100 meters, the main thing to count on is the bow and arrow.
Smoke filled the area where the muskets rang out, but few were shot.
The southern army released arrows, and the Ming army shot arrows while charging, and the arrows rained down, and people on both sides kept falling.
But the Ming army was not afraid of death, and rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and the two sides started a white-knuckle fight.
3,000 to 10,000, but Chen Liangcheng knows it in his heart, although he has not dealt with these Ronin of the Cherry Blossom Country, but he has heard his father say that his father Chen Zhongji has personally experienced it, the Cherry Blossom Country advocates martial arts, judo, and kendo are very famous, and there are many masters.
He's counting on these ronins from the Cherry Blossom Country now. He also wanted to see what kind of combat power these hundreds of Sakura Nation Ronin had, anyway, he felt that they were arrogant.
The 10,000 Ming army shouted and fought with the 3,000 southern army. Of course, this Wanming Army is not Lin Yi's standard battalion, invincible battalion, guard battalion, or women's battalion. The main composition is the local Ming army, that is, the old Ming army, and the southern army surrendered and absorbed, in fact, it is also the old Ming army.
In other words, in terms of combat effectiveness, these two teams are at the same level.
More than 10,000 horses on both sides shouted like a tide, and they slashed each other with a knife.
Just when the Ming army was three times the number of the enemy and wanted to have the absolute upper hand, 800 Sakura Ronin people attacked, facing 10,000 Ming troops, if no one came, the Oriental sword in his hand flashed with a compelling light. One by one, like hungry wolves, they pounced on food, like a gale, and joined the battlefield.
These Orientals are really brave and extraordinary, and between the flashes of their bodies, the sharp blades are swishing, and the sound of the impact of the blades and the sound of the blades piercing through the flesh are mixed together, mixed with screams, and blood is splashing.
In the blink of an eye, the Ming army, which had already gained the upper hand, was suddenly counterattacked by the enemy, with dead and wounded everywhere, rivers of blood, and the ground was full of corpses of Ming soldiers.
These Ming troops couldn't resist these Sakura Ronin at all, just like a tug-of-war competition, the difference in strength was huge, and the Ming army collapsed and retreated in an uproar.
Zheng Cai and Zheng Lianda were taken aback, three times the enemy, and couldn't win? Why did Zheng Zhilong move in the Cherry Blossom Nation Ronin? Either way, we have to win this battle today. Otherwise, how will you explain to the Lord of the Prison Country when you go back?
Therefore, the two generals personally charged into battle, the guys in their hands were two-toothed harpoons, but this is a sharp weapon to kill, no longer spearfish, but pure metal production, two people dance the harpoons like flying, join the battle group, the main general personally came to the battle, boosted morale, the Ming army pounced again, and 3000 Southern Army and 800 Oriental samurai fought together.
It is impossible for these Oriental samurai to kill Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian as it is to kill their generals, and in the melee, several Oriental samurai were also treated as big fish and forks by Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian.
Taro Miyamoto and Masao Ono and Makiko Tagawa, who were watching the battle in the back, saw it and were furious, Masao Ono and Makiko Tagawa flew over and joined the battle group.
These two generals swung their harpoons and stabbed, Ono Masao did not dodge or dodge, and stabbed in the stomach with a bang, Ono's stomach was fine, and Zheng Cai was ejected with a heel, and before Zheng Cai got up, Ono jumped in front of him, stabbed down, screamed, and blood splattered......
Here, Zheng Lian fought against Makiko Tagawa, saying that it was a big battle, and it was only one together, Zheng Lian's harpoon was pressed by Makiko's sword, and then a backhand sword was placed on his neck, "Don't move!" ”
Zheng Lian was stupid, he didn't expect these ronins to be so powerful, he saw that his brother was stabbed and blood splattered, Zheng Lian shouted: "Don't kill my brother...... We are willing to surrender ......"
Ono didn't stab him a second time, and Makiko didn't ask for Zheng Lian's life......
"Orientals? Zheng Zhilong even colluded with the Orientals? Lin Yi gritted his teeth.
