Chapter 217: The Battle of Chaozhou

After Chen Youlong and Wang Jincai glanced at each other, they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

"This, this military discipline, how to report to Your Majesty." After a few moments, Chen Youlong sighed.

The corners of Wang Jincai's mouth twitched: "I don't know, otherwise I should report it truthfully." ”

Seeing this, Chen Youlong sighed slightly: "Now it can only be like this." ”

At this time, Zhu Youlang also received a report from Jinyiwei.

"Your Majesty, good news, Tongguan is broken." As soon as Ding Siliang got the news that Tongguan was broken, he immediately came to Zhu Youlang's side excitedly with Jinyiwei's recital.

Zhu Youlang heard this, to face happy, as soon as he took the Jinyi Guard's report, came to the map, stared at Tongguan tightly, after a few breaths, Zhu Youlang chuckled: "The people of Tongguan are really loyal and righteous."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youlang pondered for a while and said: "The decree is that all the people of Tongguan will be exempt from tax for 50 years, and all the people of Tongguan will enjoy the treatment of Ming soldiers for 100 years, regardless of whether they are doing business or going to the sea." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Zhu Youlang moved his eyes to Lingbao Shaanzhou and other places, which was the former site of Hanguguan of the Qin and Han Dynasties, thinking of the imminent arrival of Qing reinforcements at this time, Zhu Youlang couldn't help frowning.

"Order Chen Youlong and Wang Jincai to replenish the troops on the spot, and then in Xi'an, quickly select some strong and loyal soldiers to supplement the army against those Qinglu battalion soldiers anyway, and send the rest to Burma."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as Zhu Youlang's words fell, a small eunuch quickly walked in again.

"Your Majesty, the Marshal's Mansion is urgent."

Zhu Youlang took the urgent report from Fengdongchang, and after reading it, Zhu Youlang came to the map with a frown and looked at Wuchang marked on the map.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youlang sighed and said: "The Ming Dynasty war in Shaanxi Henan Dongshan is a set policy, Huguang's plan is not in line with today's Ming plan, so that it does not have to open the battle line too much, at this time, we should try our best to recover Shaanxi Henan Dongshan, at this time the situation in Shaanxi has been decided, the next step is Henan, I hope Li Dingguo can find an opportunity to defeat Hong Chengchou and other Tartars, and Guizhou in Yunnan is mainly defended." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The little eunuch from the east factory immediately responded and left.

When Li Dingguo asked his troops to go out of Wuchang to take Huguang and Shaanxi in one fell swoop, Li Shutai led the Qing troops from Fujian to Chaozhou.

At this time, Gao Yigong had already strengthened Chaozhou again and had added armaments, and there were as many as 2,000 Hongyi cannons alone.

Gao Yigong held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the city tower with five steps and one cannon, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more he was happy, at this time he was terrible in his heart, and he longed for Li Shutai to lead the Qing soldiers to arrive as soon as possible.

Gao Yigong was a little itchy about Li Dingguo's ability to lead the troops in Huguang to show his skills, and just when Gao Yigong was thinking about what else to prepare in Chaozhou City, General Yijin Yiwei Dahan arrived quickly.

"Report, General, Jinyi Wei Secret Letter."

Hearing this, Gao Yigong's face flashed slightly eager to take the secret letter, and when he saw the secret letter, his face was happy: "I'm waiting for you." ”

After that, Gao Yigong immediately turned his head to look at the soldiers on the side: "Give the order to be in place, the Tartars are here, and the achievements are at this time, whoever dares to drag his feet will not blame me for not being interceitful." ”

"Yes, General."

When the soldiers quickly retreated, Gao Yigong looked at the Jinyi Wei Han General in front of him again: "Report to the Marshal's Mansion of the Military Department of the Great Governor's Mansion and Xingzai, I will stick to this city, and then wait for the time to go out of Chaozhou to defeat the Tartars." ”

"Yes, General."

Just after General Jinyi Wei Dahan left, Gao Yigong immediately straightened his military uniform and shouted: "Take the general's armor." ”

An hour later, the Chaozhou battalions arrived at the position set up by Gao Yigong before, especially the more than 2,000 Hongyi cannons were installed, and they could be fired only after ignition.

Gao Yigong was dressed in armor and looked into the distance with a saber and a clairplane mirror, at this time there was a burst of horse neighing in the distance, and Gao Yigong's face gradually became solemn.

"Report, the Tartars have reached five miles away." When the Qing soldiers arrived five miles away from Chaozhou City, the spies immediately came to report to Gao Yigong.

Gao Yigong nodded slightly: "Let the generals remember, you can't act without the general's order." ”

"Yes, General."

After the soldiers left, Gao Yigong used the clairvoyant mirror to find Li Shutai's location one by one, and at this time, five miles away, Li Shutai rode under the banner of the general, and he looked at the Chaozhou City in front of him.

"General, the battalions are ready." Just when Li Shutai was thinking about the layout of Chaozhou City at this time, a quick report came down.

Li Shutai looked at the sky and said: "Make a meal immediately, after eating, rest on the spot, and in the evening, the whole army will attack." ”

"Yes, General."

As soon as Li Shuitai's order spread, Jinyiwei immediately conveyed Li Shuitai's order back to Gao Yigong.

"Report, Jinyi Wei secret letter."

After Gao Yigong looked at the commander in front of him, he took the secret letter and looked at it, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing.

After thinking for a while, Gao Yigong ordered: "Order Liu Yipeng and Liu Zhiguo to lead the troops out of the city to carry out a harassment war against the Tartars." ”

"Yes." Looking at the soldiers who led the troops away, the corners of Gao Yigong's mouth rose slightly: "Li Shutai, don't leave if you come." ”

Half an hour later, Liu Yipeng led the second battalion of firearms battalions, Liu Zhiguo led the third battalion out of the city, and Liu Yipeng and Liu Zhiguo immediately attracted the attention of Li Shutai as soon as they left the city.

Li Shutai looked around: "I didn't expect that Ming General would have such courage, and you would dare to fight with him." ”

"General, I am willing to lead my troops to break this city."

"General, I would like to bring Liu Zhiguo's head to see you."

.......

Seeing that the group of generals was like this, Li Shutai pointed to the front and back with a satisfied face: "Ignore the Ming soldiers for the time being, and let the troops hold on to the spot first." ”

At this time, Li Tai knew that in Huguang and Shaanxi, the Qing court had a large army pressing, but he was worried that the back road would be interrupted by Zhu Chenggong's troops, so Li Tai did not bring all the soldiers and horses.

Li Tai, who is particularly knowledgeable about military strategy, guessed that Chaozhou City must have been strengthened, and the number of troops may have increased, you must know that in addition to Ganzhou, Chaozhou is a strong defensive place.

After seeing that the Qing soldiers were unmoved, Liu Yipeng ordered the second firearms battalion to advance in a crossover momentum, and after a hundred and fifty steps away from the Qing soldiers, the army immediately stopped.

At this time, under the requirements of Gao Yigong, Chen Zizhuang had already replaced it with a new musket, which was a turtledove gun with tap fire, instead of the previous tap fire Miru gun.

After the firearms battalion lined up, the infantry battalion behind it was also lined up and ready to be formed.

Looking at the banner of the infantry camp behind him, Liu Yipeng immediately waved his hand in front of him: "Fire." ”

Under Liu Yipeng's order, the musketeers of the second battalion fired a volley, and under the loud sound, the Qing soldiers 150 steps away fell to the ground in large numbers.

You must know that at this time, Liu Yipeng deliberately asked the soldiers to be loaded with single lead bullets, not scattered bullets.

The Qing soldiers also thought that the Ming soldiers' muskets were so powerful that they could kill and wound from a hundred and fifty away, and just as they reacted, the infantry battalion behind them immediately stood up, and the open fire gunners quickly installed gunpowder.

A few moments later, the Qingfo wolf machine counterattacked, and after a burst of artillery fire, the Ming soldiers screamed again and again, but the military formation was still not chaotic.

Just when the Ming soldiers rushed to the Qing army formation thirty steps, a swarm of Ming soldiers immediately ignited the Qing army formation, and after a few breaths, the rockets fell towards the Qing soldiers like a torrential rain.
