Chapter 495: Liu Guoxuan's Defeat (II)

Liu Guoxuan, who was in the water, put the sun and moon double knives in his hand, straight upright, in order to reduce the minimum resistance of the water, stepped on the water with both feet, and used all his strength to pounce on Xiaoying at the fastest speed, like an angry shark, and crossed a waterline. The speed was lightning fast, not to mention that it was in the water, even on the shore.

But at this time, Xiaoying is no longer a weak woman, following Lin Yi, she has trained a special soldier's physique over the years, and he has followed Lin Yi for the earliest, and has been in the women's battalion for the longest time, starting at the age of 13, and now after more than ten years of experience and countless wars, not only has she become a special soldier, but also a veritable king of women's special soldiers, and now she has undergone intensive training in the water, and she can also be called the king of the Ming Marine Corps.

Her ability in the water has been passed on by Lin Yi, coupled with the advantages of a woman's vigilance and soft body, her swiftness has reached the extreme.

Xiao Ying saw that she didn't hit the target, her body turned around in the water, and she just saw Liu Guoxuan who pounced, she twisted her waist flexibly, and at the same time swiped the lancet in her hand downward, blocking the first sharp blade at the same time, making Liu Guoxin's second sharp blade also change direction, and it was close to the tip of her nose.

In this way, Xiaoying turned the danger into a situation that was absolutely impossible in the eyes of others.

While Xiao Ying dodged this knife, although the lancet could no longer attack the opponent. But her lingering legs, the strength she had accumulated at this time, kicked Liu Guoxuan in the abdomen in the water, and lifted Liu Guoxuan far away at once.

When the two of them swam together to fight again, Zhezhe rushed up, two to one, Liu Guoxuan's ability in the water and on the shore was not simple, but at this time, he had been fighting for too long, and his physical strength was seriously overrun, and he felt a little powerless to deal with the two strong opponents, and he was barely tired of coping.

At this time, Shi Lang had already relieved his strength, although he didn't have a big knife in his hand, he took out a dagger knife from his body, and also rushed towards Liu Guozhuan, three to one.

Liu Guozhuan had no choice but to flee again in defeat, but this time he didn't escape far and just surfaced. A medium-sized warship of the Ming army sailed over, and the eyes of the Ming army sailors on the ship were relatively sharp, just when Shi Lang drilled his body out of the water and gasped.

The Ming army sailors on the boat threw the large net that had been prepared into the air, and a large fishing net shone down, and when these Ming soldiers put the net away, Liu Guoxuan was already in the net with a knife......

With Liu Guoxuan captured alive, his 20,000 or 30,000 horses, including the batteries on the water and on the shore, as well as his guards, were all annihilated. Annihilation, of course, is not all killed, of course, including captured generals.

After the southern army lost its sea control here, a large number of Ming troops landed from here and came straight to Funing......

When the sailors of the two sides fought fiercely in the sea, the soldiers and horses on the shore were not idle, and hundreds of red-coated cannons bombarded Funing. The defenders of the city and the generals in the fortress also opened fire on the Ming army, and heavy artillery bombardment was launched on both sides.

However, this is only the battle plan of the Ming army, not really to attack their fortified cities and fortresses, the Ming army that has suffered a loss will not eat a second time, this time the artillery fire seems to be fierce, but in fact it is only a containment and confusion of the southern army in the city and the castle, and so after the naval division and fort of the southern army were annihilated, when Liu Guoxuan was captured and captured, with a large number of Ming army sailors ashore, a large number of Ming troops killed Funing City from behind, and more than 100,000 Ming troops on the shore launched a real attack.

At this point, the Ming army with more than 200,000 troops on the shore with the water division surrounded the three layers of the small city of Funing County, and launched a fierce attack.

However, Liu Guozhuan's fortifications were really strong, the city and the fortress outside the city were each other's horns, impregnable, more than 200,000 Ming troops attacked for a day and did not take down, and the Ming army had to use heavy troops to besiege it.

The next day, when Liu Guoxuan, who was tied up with five flowers, was brought to the city, and when the head of Yang Cheng, the general under Liu Guoxuan, was picked under the city, the southern army defending the city and the southern army soldiers in the castle suddenly panicked, and the army's morale was scattered.

At night, the southern army in the city mutinied, and Li Hu, another assistant to Liu Guoxuan, was killed by his generals. After half a night of fierce street fighting, the 60,000 or 70,000 southern troops in the city, in addition to more than 10,000 killed in battle, the rest of the nearly 50,000 southern troops all became prisoners of the Ming army.

At dawn, the Ming army completely occupied Funing. So far, the Battle of Funing, which lasted for three days, ended with the complete defeat of the Southern Army and the complete victory of the Ming Army.

After the end of the war here, Lin Yi immediately ordered Shi Lang to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, all dressed as the southern army, and immediately went north, day and night.

Soldiers are fast. Nearly eight hundred miles away, Lin Yi asked Shi Lang and them to arrive within three days, since Lin Yi had used troops against Funing, he would take the opportunity to take the hard bone of Xianxia Pass, completely eliminate Zheng Zhilong's dependence, and leave him with no illusions.

The reason why Shi Lang was given 10,000 elite soldiers was because this was to deceive the pass, and if there were too many soldiers, they would show flaws and make the southern army there suspicious. And the soldiers are fine but not many, 10,000 horses are enough.

After Shi Lang received the order, 10,000 horses immediately pretended to be the southern army. Because the battle had just ended, the costumes, equipment, banners, and so on of the Southern Army were ready-made, so just put on their clothes and put on their banners.

Lin Yi strategized and imitated Liu Guoxuan's handwriting to write a seal letter to the guards of Xianxia Pass, explaining that these 10,000 horses were not sent by their majesty Zheng Zhilong, but by Liu Guoxuan, the marshal of soldiers and horses, who was not at ease to support them.

In addition, in order to be foolproof, some of the captives who were willing to leave the crime and make meritorious contributions were selected and let them mix in the front of the team to form this 10,000-strong horse. It's absolutely seamless.

Handed over the seal letter and the arrow to Shi Lang, in order to speed up, they all advanced lightly, and on the evening of the third day, Shi Lang's team appeared near Xianxia Pass.

Xianxia Pass has been fought for since ancient times. It is located at the heart of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces. From Jiangshan in Zhejiang in the north, more than 100 kilometers to Pucheng in Fujian in the south, the twists and turns are narrow, the mountains on both sides are high and the valleys are deep, and the peaks are connected, among which there are kiln ridges, Xianxia ridges, tea ridges, small pole ridges, Fengling and other dangerous passes called big pole ridges, pear ridges and other dangerous ridges, collectively called Xianxia six ridges.

Among the six mountains, Xianxia Ridge is the most precipitous. Guanling is 600 meters above sea level, in addition Xianxia Pass has four gates, two passes in the northeast and southwest, all are made of stones, more than 3 meters high, only more than two meters wide, all are built in the pass of the dangerous rock cliff between the two mountains.

It can be seen that this is a real dangerous pass, and one man is the pass, and ten thousand people cannot open it.

The 120,000 Ming army led by the three dukes of Jiangyin attacked here several times, and the lost troops did not take this pass.

But the strong fortresses were breached from the inside, Shi Lang's 10,000 horses suddenly appeared outside the pass, and began to shout to the city, so that their main generals Gan Hui and Zhong Bin went out of the pass to receive Liu Dashuai's arrows, because Liu Guoxuan now has the sword of the Son of Heaven, and theoretically can call on the soldiers and horses of the entire Great Southern Empire.

These soldiers of the Southern Army never dreamed that this was the Ming army coming to defraud the city. Because outside the pass is the camp of the Ming army, there is the marshal Liu Guoxuan in the south to sit in Funing, and there is the Xianxia dangerous pass in the north, this line of defense from Xianxia Pass to Funing County for hundreds of miles, the Ming army wants to pass from here is simply more powerful than the sky.

The soldiers of the southern army guarding the pass will take a look, and these horses and horses in front of them are all their own people, and there are many familiar faces inside, they all recognize them, and some can even call out their names, they are indeed the soldiers of their southern army, and hurriedly send a letter to the two main generals guarding the pass.

Gan Hui and Zhong Bin were both members of Zheng Zhilong's eighteenth Zhi that year, and they can be regarded as the veterans of Zheng Zhilong's group.

When they received the order and the letter from the two generals under Liu Guoxuan, the two of them did not suspect anything at all, and only asked their commander Liu Guoxuan about the battle with the Ming army in the Funing area.

Because they also knew that Zheng Zhilong asked them to come over to change their guards, and freed up Liu Guoxuan to go to the main force of the Ming army along the coast of Funing, and Lin Yi, the Ming Dynasty, personally conquered, and was invincible all the way by land and water, and drove the southern army from the Yangtze River to the sea, and then drove from Hangzhou Bay to Fujian through Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Liu Guoxuan's victory or defeat was directly related to the safety of their Beijing division, and of course they were also concerned.

"The master is strategic, brave and brave, water and land warfare, the Ming army is difficult to advance, but the loss of the general, but the marshal knows the tricks of the surname Lin, the Ming army outside the Xianxia Pass is heavy and pressing, afraid that they will knock from here, so I specially sent me to assist the two commanders to guard the pass."

These two generals brought out the lies that had been made up to tell them a long time ago.

Gan Hui and Zhong Bin felt that Liu Guoxuan was a little worried, Xianxia Pass is now defended by us, but they can't refuse the kindness of this young and promising Liu Dashuai, especially when he heard that Funing also won the battle, and the Ming army here is helpless against Xianxia Pass, and now there are 10,000 reinforcements and horses, which is of course a good thing.

Therefore, the second general laughed, "Thank you Liu Dashuai for your kindness, in that case, please enter the customs." ”

"Thank you, two archgenerals." These two generals under Liu Guoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The door was wide open, and Shi Lang, the 10,000 horses, drove into the city.

When they arrived at Xianxialing, Shi Lang, who was pretending to be a pawn, suddenly said to Gan Hui and Zhong Bin: "Second general, do you know the commander of this country?" ”

Gan Hui and Zhong Bin never thought that a small soldier would dare to come to them and talk to them like this, and when they looked closely, Gan Hui and Zhong Bin were shocked, "Huh? You...... Are you Shi Lang? ”
