Chapter 43: Anping

"Drive." Qin Meng led more than 1,000 cavalry across the Min River and rushed south.

Qin Meng was still thinking about what Cao Zongyu said in his heart.

Cao Zongyu said: "This time, we entered Fujian, not to conquer Fujian Province, but to make Zheng Zhilong surrender, how to make Zheng Zhilong soft, naturally let Zheng Zhilong know that his lair is threatened." But now that the back road is cut off, the people of Fujian are uncertain, we only have a mere 20,000 troops, and we have more than enough to defend Fuzhou, but it is not enough to continue the southern expedition. ”

"Simply, God help me, there is a Zheng Hongkui in hand."

"But that's not enough."

"I heard that Zheng Zhilong has several brothers, a mother and a compatriot, all born to the Huang family, before Zheng Zhilong made a fortune, he was also attached to his uncle Huang Cheng, so Mrs. Huang is still very prestigious in the Zheng family, therefore, Zheng Zhilong may not want him as a younger brother, but the Huang family will definitely not want it. But it is quite possible to conceal this information. ”

"Therefore, you went to the south bank for two purposes, to deter the Zheng clan and let the Zheng clan know that although Nan'an is far away, it is also within the reach of my Cao Ying's troops. The first is that Mrs. Huang helped us persuade his son. This is also the second. ”

"Therefore, when you go, you must call me."

"This goes to Nan'an, hundreds of miles away, there are officials and troops all over the place, and Annan is the nest of the Zheng family, and the people of the Zheng family, not to mention tens of thousands, are no less than the tiger's den in Longtan. Are you sure you're going? ”

Of course Qin Meng dared to go.

However, Qin Meng is not a fool, he feels that he is still sure that he will go to Nan'an.

There are two grasps, the Zheng clan has not fought, no matter how many warships the Zheng clan has, it is useless if they can't go ashore, Qin Meng's department was originally Zhang Xuan's personal guard cavalry, and its combat power is not much worse than the old battalion head of Cao Ying. Even if the Zheng army came, Qin Meng wanted to leave, but he could still do it. One of them is that Zheng Hongkui is in the hands of Cao Ying, and the Zheng family can't help but estimate Zheng Hongkui's life. After all, Zheng Zhilong's brothers, Zheng Zhihu is dead, Zheng Zhibao is in charge of Nan'an, Zheng Hongkui is leading the troops, and he is the core figure of the Zheng family, in a sense, Zheng Hongkui is the number two person of the Zheng family, and his importance is not much worse than Zheng Zhibao.

"Newspaper. General, there was an interception in front. "There's a scout coming in.

"How many." Qin Meng asked.

"There are about three to five thousand people, waving a 'Yu' flag."

"Check it out." Qin Meng rode forward, and saw that these thousands of men and horses had already formed a formation, and it seemed that there was still a bit of posture.

Qin Meng didn't fight hard with it, and the herald said, "Go around." ”

"Yes." More than 1,000 cavalry went around in a small circle, a stone's throw away from the officers and soldiers, almost passing by.

In this way, when Qin Meng met someone who could fight, he would fight, and if he couldn't fight, he would rely on his mobility ability to bypass it.

Along the way, trekking through mountains and rivers to the south.

Three days later, I finally came to Anping Town.

Qin Meng also saw the Zheng family's mansion in Anping Town from a distance.

Where is this a house, it is a city at all.

There are docks, walls, workshops, everything, almost a self-sufficient city.

Moreover, when Qin Meng came to Anping Town, many Zheng troops had already gathered outside Anping Town.

These people were temporarily summoned by Zheng Zhibao.

In Anping Town, the Zheng family is the real head snake, and almost all the people in this area follow the Zheng family to eat, so they responded with a greeting.

Zheng Zhibao may feel that Qin Meng is only more than a thousand horsemen, and he underestimates him, so he took nearly 10,000 horses out of the city to meet him.

Qin Meng's horse swept in front of the formation, and his heart suddenly had a bottom. "A pirate is a pirate, but that's it. ”

In the Zheng family's army, the lack of land war genes is a real fact, even in the Zheng Chenggong era, the generals in the north are still treated very leniently, for no other reason, that is, the Zheng army's army is quite poor in land warfare.

Later, it was made up for it little by little.

But now in the Zheng Zhilong era, among the Zheng family's respective armies, the strongest land battle should be Zheng Hongkui's army, but Zheng Hongkui did not fire a single shot, and was calculated by Wu Zhiping.

The manpower left behind at home is certainly a good hand at sea, but on land, the formation is a little loose

But in Qin Meng's eyes, this kind of imprecision is a fatal flaw.

"Brothers, follow me." Qin Meng greeted him and rushed down with someone.

At this moment, Qin Meng is no longer a child waiting for death in Nanyang City, and in the past few years of conquest, Qin Meng has been trained into a reliable horseman.

No, not only the cavalry generals, but also Qin Meng is trustworthy enough to command infantry battles.

This group of generals who followed Zhang Xuan all the way, such as Cao Zongyu, Deng He, Wang Jincai and others, are Zhang Xuan's most trustworthy wealth.

As soon as Qin Meng rushed down, he heard countless guns and cannons roaring, countless pungent gunsmoke, forming a thick fog, which was eaten by the southeast wind towards Qin Meng and the others, and for a while choked his eyes and nose with a feeling of tears.

However, Qin Meng's command is quite flexible, so he will not rush into battle like a fool, he rushes to the front, and all the soldiers look at his horse's head, but they see him pulling the reins in front of the formation, turning, and countless artillery bolts fall behind the horse team.

Drifting in the west and abruptly in the east, it almost dizzy Zheng's head.

At this time, Qin Meng keenly smelled the disconnect of Zheng's firepower.

After all, the infantry defends the cavalry, and the most important thing is the continuous fire suppression, not the ferocity of the fire for a while, but the sailors do not have this awareness, even if they are

Reminded that in the midst of continuous shooting, it was forgotten.

In the atmosphere of the battlefield, it is normal to lose three and pull four.

Qin Meng seemed to be teasing the Zheng army, rushing over, causing Zheng's guns to roar, and then retracted, again and again, each time as if he was about to charge, but it was all a false shot, leading the Zheng family to open fire, although there were also many unlucky people who were knocked out of the horses.

But the actual losses were only a few dozen.

After Qin Meng felt that the Zheng clan's firepower was out of touch, he immediately rushed down again.

This time, though, it's true.

Qin Meng's more than 1,000 cavalry accurately smashed into the gap between the two army formations, and everywhere they passed, there was chaos.

Among the various departments of the Zheng family, there are still warriors, but these people are not suitable for this style of play, and they are chaotic everywhere, and they collapse for a while.

Qin Meng was so unforgiving that he immediately divided his troops and divided the cavalry into a team of 100 people, whipping them behind the Zheng army like whips, while Qin Meng observed behind the formation.

After all, there are many people in the Zheng family, although it has been chaotic for a while, but the more slowly they stand firm. Seeing this, Qin Meng immediately withdrew the people.

However, after this war. Zheng Zhibao also understood that Cao Ying's men and horses were not easy to mess with, so he withdrew them all into Anping Town.

"That's enough." Qin Meng said secretly in his heart. Immediately explained to the people around him, came to Anping Town alone, and said loudly: "General Zhennan's envoy asks to see Mrs. Huang. ”

The news reached the Zheng family. Zheng Zhibao said angrily: "He still dares to come? ”

"Sit down." Old Madam Huang said: "Since he came to see me, how can I not dare to see him." Let him in. ”

After a while, Qin Meng walked to Anping Town.

In fact, it is said that Anping Town is the mansion of the Zheng family.

Qin Meng can be regarded as having seen the world, the palace of the vassal king, the palace of Nanjing, they have all seen it, and when he saw the Zheng family's mansion today, he was still secretly surprised in his heart.

The Zheng family's house has distinctly Western-style buildings, and the overlapping roads are no less than the specifications of ordinary feudal kings.

"I heard that you came to see me on the order of Zhang Zhennan?" Old Madam Huang said.

Mrs. Huang is old, and most of the affairs of the Zheng family are ignored, and they are all handled by the brothers of the Zheng family, but today it is a mile or two to the north, and it is shooting and firing, and it is easy for Mrs. Huang to think about it.

Qin Meng saw that Old Madam Huang, although she was full of white hair, but she was very imposing, even Zheng Zhibao next to her didn't dare to say much, he knew that Old Madam Huang had a very strong authority in the Zheng family, and Cao Zongyu's plan was more likely to succeed.

"Old lady, please look at this." Qin Meng sent Zheng Hongkui's jade pendant up.

Mrs. Huang took it and looked at it and said, "It's the fourth." The fourth is in your hands. ”
