Chapter 37 Weiyuan City Lower Three

Zheng Zhilong was standing in the camp at the moment, gritting his teeth and saying, "It's not that if there is a little movement in Ningbo, you can report it." What's going on? ”

No one explained to him at this time what was going on?

This battle was planned by Zhang Xuan for a long time.

Zhang Xuan may not be able to completely block the news of Ningbo City, nor can he completely block the news outside the city. But he only needs to block the news for an hour or two, as long as he runs faster than the news.

Therefore, this expedition was only after the end of the night, and then left the city.

After leaving the city, martial law was imposed in the entire city of Ningbo. No matter who was allowed to go out of the city, Wang Jincai stayed in Ningbo City.

And there was no march along the Yao River, and torches were not allowed along the way. Countless nights are not guarded everywhere, almost from Weiyuan City to Ningbo City, all under Zhang Xuan's monitoring.

Maybe in the river and the sea, Zhang Xuan has no way to take the people of the Zheng family, but once he goes ashore, it is easy to block the news. Even Zheng Zhilong is used to this kind of scout war. After all, he has many warriors under his command who dare to fight the sea in the storm, but there is a lack of cavalry generals who can charge into battle on horseback.

And this point is precisely Cao Ying's specialty.

Maybe there will be some inadequacy to deal with others. But dealing with Zheng's scouts is almost like an adult beating a child.

For this battle, Zhang Xuan didn't know how many ambushes he had buried, useful and useless, it could be said that he was deliberate, because Zhang Xuan knew too well, as Qi Jiguang said, the strength that a person can exert on the battlefield is qualified with the three achievements of peacetime training.

And Zhang Xuan's preparations, which can really come in handy, are already very satisfied with Zhang Xuan.

But only Sancheng is ready to play an effect, which has already made Zheng Zhilong suspicious. In particular, the raging fire in Dinghai County, not far away, seemed to be burning in the entire county.

"It's a poisonous method." Zheng Zhilong naturally regarded the fire in Dinghai County as a means for Zhang Xuan to ambush him.

"Father, please son." Zheng Sen was dressed in a military uniform at the moment, looking high-spirited, tonight was like this, many people in the Zheng family were panicked, but Zheng Sen was not a little afraid, as if something had risen on his body.

"Good. Not a loss for the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong said: "However, now is not the time for war, the order will go down, and everyone will get on the boat and evacuate." ”

"Father, why?" Zheng Sen didn't understand.

In his opinion, although the situation was unfavorable, the main force of the Zheng clan did not suffer losses.

The real heavy losses were Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren's two troops, and Zheng's soldiers and horses were all camped on the north bank of the Yao River, although at this moment the official army brigade was a man

The horse was routed. At this moment, it is especially clear that you can win or lose.

Zheng Zhilong also hesitated for a while in his heart and said, "My son's mind is good, but now it's better to retreat first." ”

Zheng Sen's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. But Zheng Zhilong is an old man.

The first thing he wants is not a big victory, not a big defeat, as long as he doesn't fold the capital here, with Zhoushan as a base, with the strength of his Zheng family, although he can make a comeback, and the biggest loss at this moment is Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren's department, Zheng Zhilong is not distressed at all. There was even a hint of happiness in his heart.

His desire to occupy Zhoushan as a subordinate has never been extinguished. Looking at Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren, who are stationed in Zhoushan, they are a little eye-catching.

Not to mention, both of them were bent on counterattacking Zhejiang, and they were always by Zheng Zhilong's side to persuade Zheng Zhilong to land and capture Ningbo City. Recover Zhejiang City.

With such an opportunity to push the boat smoothly, Zheng Zhilong didn't mind sending them to death.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong is more worried about the situation on the water than the situation on the shore, the fireboats upstream have washed down, there are not many of them, but there are only more than a hundred, but the momentum is extremely strong at night. Quite a few ships have already been set on fire.

Zheng Zhilong is a good hand at water warfare, and even more so at using fireboats.

Faced with this situation, he was surprised, because he knew that now Zheng's ships were all in the Yaojiang inland port, although the Yaojiang River was not narrow, but it was not a big river, and Zheng's ships were many.

For Zheng Zhilong, such a loss is completely unacceptable.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong himself didn't mean it, he was actually a little timid about fighting Zhang Xuan on land.

Both sides have been entangled for so long, and they have come to know each other.

Zheng Zhilong thought that he did not have three times the number of troops, and he might not be the opponent of Cao Ying's elite. And today's posture looks like Zhang Xuan's long-planned offensive. Zheng Zhilong would rather avoid it than compete with it for a short time, anyway, the sea advantage is in his hands, he can come when he wants, and leave when he wants. Why bother to knock Zhang Xuan.

"But General Wang and General Zhang are still there." Zheng Sen said.

"Just send someone to inform." Zheng Zhilong said indifferently. He then called Shi Lang again and said, "Immediately let the fleet move and lift the fire-fighting boats." ”

"Yes." Shi Lang said loudly, his eyes glanced at Zheng Sen slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's really a son-in-law." ”

It is a taboo to rashly go out of the camp to fight at night, and it is also a taboo to open a camp and retain the defeated soldiers, because no one knows whether the defeated troops brought into the camp are pretended to be enemies. At this time, it is important to take care of oneself and protect oneself, although it is a little pedantic and conservative, but it can also be regarded as the right way of a soldier.

Shi Lang's arrogance was almost not concealed at all, Zheng Sen saw it in his eyes, and secretly asked for a look. he

I was very disappointed with Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Sen thinks that he is the tiger of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong no matter what title he wears on his head, but deep down, he is still the One Piece King who overturned the two bosses during the Apocalypse. Especially when the court was in turmoil, he wanted to preserve his strength more than take risks. But it's not something that Zheng Sen, who is only twenty years old, can understand.

It's dawn,

The sunlight flew from the sea to the east against the ground line, and the first thing to illuminate was the fort of Weiyuan City on Zhaobao Mountain, the highest in the vicinity.

Ruan Jin looked at the early morning sun and felt a slight glare in it, but in a moment, he left this glare feeling behind, because he saw the defeat of the officers and soldiers of the brigade in embarrassment, and wanted to rush back to the Zheng family's camp along the river.

The roar of cannon burst out from the Zheng family's camp.

However, these artillery fires were not aimed at Zhang Xuan's headquarters, but at the routed soldiers.

For a while, the crying father who was beaten by the rout was called his mother. A large number of deaths preceded the Zheng camp.

Zhang Xuan also withdrew his troops.

Take it when you see it.

Zhang Xuan knows his own business, after a rush, the physical consumption of the army is serious, even if he wants to attack the Zheng camp, he will not choose to attack today. It is necessary to first nourish the physical strength of a soldier, as well as to fight fires.

Deep in Zhang Xuan's heart, it is impossible to see death without saving him after all.

He stopped a few miles away from the Zheng camp, and without him, he was afraid of the cannons in the Zheng camp, so he didn't dare to get too close.

"The junior officer meets the adult." Ruan Jin was in a mess, covered in blood, and many places on his body were hung with colors and wrapped in strips of cloth. He bowed down to Zhang Xuan and said.

Zhang Xuan helped Ruan Jin up and said, "Okay, General Ruan, you are the first meritorious person in this battle, and you will naturally be rewarded after the battle." ”

As Zhang Xuan's department has more and more people, Zhang Xuan pays more and more attention to the formalization of procedures, and the things that were rewarded and punished by one word before have been slowly converged, after all, rewards and punishments should have certain rules, and they should not be easily broken.

In the past, when Zhang Xuan's department was staffed, Zhang Xuan could almost write down the archives of most of the officers, so the oral promotion was generally not much different, but now that there are more people, Zhang Xuan cannot master the ability of all the junior officers, so Zhang Xuan gradually decreased, and this impulse to casually reward him. Changed to reward for meritorious deeds.

"Lord Xie, this battle is an adult's clever calculation, and I dare not take credit for my humble position." Ruan Jin said.

"Am I the one who robs my subordinates?" Zhang Xuan said: "Don't worry, as long as you make new contributions." The position of the chief officer of the Zhejiang Army Navy Division in the future is yours. ”

Ruan Jin's heart jumped suddenly, his tongue was dry, and he couldn't speak for a while. The chief officer is a real high-ranking general. He was still a small character who didn't dare to be presumptuous when he saw the officials, so he ascended to the sky in one step.
