Chapter 473: Gnashing of teeth

The terrain here Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are more familiar, along the coastline to the southwest for more than 30 miles, there is a former Ming fortress Huanggudao Fort, but now it should be abandoned, because it is impossible for Jiannu to send troops to garrison.

They used to fight guerrillas here many times when they followed their father-in-law Mao Wenlong, and they also led people into the deep mountains and old forests to dig Korean ginseng to earn some military salaries, knowing that this place was close to 300 miles away from Jinzhou, which was actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

It takes two or three days for the people and horses of Jinzhou to rush here, and they are temporarily planning to land here, how can the Jinzhou Ming army be predicted if they are not immortals?

Even if they send troops, they will have to wait until the news reaches Golden State, so they should be safe for the time being.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming boarded a small hill about two or three miles from the shore to observe the situation at sea with a clairvoyant scope, why didn't they hurry to the depths of the mainland?

That's because these two boys are still suffering from gains and losses.

They imagined that since this was already an area controlled by Jiannu, if the "Red Banner Army" gave up going ashore to attack and retreat, they could organize people to return to the stranded No. 2 Fu ship to move some more belongings.

They were even trying to figure out how to carry a few cannons ashore, and they had been learning to shoot artillery with Portuguese instructors over the years, and they were more or less superstitious about firepower, and they were really reluctant to bear the Hongyi cannons produced by the Portuguese.

When they first stormed the beach, everyone had only one thought in their hearts - to flee for their lives, and it was obvious that now that their fate was saved, they wanted to bring more money and weapons.

These are the capital to settle down in Jiannu in the future, and there is no doubt that the benefits will be great when the capital is large, so these frightened thief bones are still suffering from gains and losses.

Not long after, the seven warships of the "Red Banner Army" slowly approached the coastline, and then the sentry boats and life rafts full of soldiers began to land, and in less than half an hour, several hundred people formed a formation on the shore, and the posture was ready to be searched.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming sighed, they knew that there was no play, so they gritted their teeth and gave the order to retreat, and the whole army marched in the direction of Phoenix Fort, striving to contact the Dajin Army as soon as possible and take the initiative to surrender.

The rebels are not worried about being rounded up by the "Red Banner Army" ashore again, they are all two-legged over the mountains and mountains, who is afraid of whom?

Moreover, they are relatively familiar with the environment here, and the number of people is several times more than that of the "Red Banner Army" on the shore, and more than half of them have bird guns in their hands, so it is not certain who will fight who at that time!

Kong Youde looked at the fleet fluttering the red flag, and his heart was itching, and he made it clear that people were playing black and eating black, so that all the belongings and gold and silver treasures he had saved in Shandong for more than a year were cheaper than Huang Han.

More than 13,000 people went to sea, and now that less than 3,000 people have been able to go ashore, the more than 10,000 people who have lost contact with each other have either been killed or captured by the "Red Banner Army." Even if a few lucky ships can avoid round-up, they will probably have to dock for supplies.

His family knew about his own affairs, and there was not even a grain of grain on board, and in order to carry more supplies and soldiers, each ship could barely supply the people on board with fresh water for three or four days.

Originally, according to the calculations of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, there was a time of three days and two nights that was enough time for the fleet to land at Zhenjiang Fort and launch an attack, but who would have thought that they would crash headlong into the encirclement of the "Red Banner Army" naval division.

Now Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and a group of rebel generals have realized that this is a planned operation of the "Red Banner Army", and they have been waiting for the net.

Fortunately, fog appeared on the sea, which made the plan of the "Red Banner Army" not completely implemented, resulting in more than 30% of their ships having the opportunity to escape the encirclement.

It feels really bad to be played by others as monkeys, and the fact of making wedding dresses for others makes Kong Youde and the next judges so angry that they blow their beards and stare at them.

The rebels were beaten to the point that they lost eight of their hands and the materials they had worked so hard to get on the ship, as well as most of the gold and silver treasures, and at this time their lives were saved, and everyone began to feel sorry for their wealth and silk, and scolded one by one, without exception, they all scolded the "Red Banner Army" and scolded Huang Han.

The rebel ranks were also mixed with five or six hundred lucky family members, including the families of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.

Kong Youde was also in a bad mood, and his original plan was to lead more than 10,000 people to break through Zhenjiang Fort and defend it, and then let Geng Zhongming personally negotiate with Jiannu.

He can arrogantly show that he has 10,000 men, hundreds of artillery, including more than 30 Hongyi cannons, and nearly 100 warships, cargo ships, and merchant ships.

But now? He had only more than 2,000 soldiers, only 1,500 birds, and not even a small cannon of the Furlong machine.

When he got off the ship, he was in a panic, there were originally seven Furlong instructors on his ship, but when the number of people was counted, it was found that these people were missing, and it seemed that many gunners were also missing.

Losing the cannon, it doesn't matter if there are artillerymen and instructors Kong Youde, because the cannons of the Ming and Houjin in this era are all individual, and under normal circumstances, the gunner is matched with the cannon.

If the gunners who normally used cannon A were transferred to cannon B, the gunners would basically not be able to find the right head, and they would be completely blind, and it would take a lot of training to get acquainted with the personality of the unfamiliar cannon.

Kong Youde must now solve the big problem of an empty stomach immediately, and he hopes to meet the sentinel of the Dajin Kingdom as soon as possible to explain his sincerity in surrendering to the Dajin Kingdom.

Whether or not to accept surrender is another matter, the most important thing is to give food first, and then there will be no food for two or three days to satisfy hunger, and even Kong Youde thinks that he can no longer hold on.

The rebels who left the sea and walked on the mountain road were depressed, and they had long lost the vigor to be alive when they were robbing houses and houses in Shandong, burning and looting, Kong Youde suddenly laughed when he saw this situation, and the laughter startled dozens of crows to make a "quack" sound.

Geng Zhongming saw that Kong Youde was about to come out with a moth, so he had to fight his spirit and joke loudly: "Our army is so difficult that we can't even eat a mouthful of food, why is the marshal still laughing?" ”

Kong Youde said hoarsely: "Didn't the deputy marshal find out that God bless our army, then Huang Han has long been plotting against our army, and this marshal estimates that we have been calculating for a year and a half."

In the end, our army was really unsuspected, surrounded by many huge warships with frightening artillery fire, but the result?

Hahaha! The heavens will not extinguish us! The sea was foggy, and we were able to break out of the encirclement and successfully set foot on the territory of the Dajin Kingdom. ”

Geng Zhongming knew that Kong Youde was boosting morale, but he also felt lucky to be able to escape, and it made sense to think that God would bless him.

He also laughed and said, "Haha! I can't make a comeback if I have God's blessing, brothers, cheer up, don't let the Dajin Army underestimate our Dongjiang soldiers when the time comes. ”
