Chapter 50 Capture the Zheng family and blockade Ping'an Harbor

Li Jing's special forces led the way, and Li Jing then followed closely behind with this infantry division of the Second Army. Although the infantry was a mess at sea, and they didn't go ashore for a long time, their bodies were still soft and collapsed, and they couldn't swallow anything they could eat. But as soon as the assembly number rang, they all came. None of the teams were left behind when they set off.

Although there are only more than 50 miles from Quanzhou to Ping'an Town (Anhai Town), and the mountain road has been renovated by Zheng Zhilong, this is a mountain road after all, coupled with the extremely hot weather here in Fujian, so that the physical strength of these infantry who have not fully recovered is quickly overdrawn, and they can not keep up with the special forces in front.

When it was noon, it was still far away from Ping'an Town, and just when Li Jing was a little anxious, the special forces who opened the road in front ran back and said that there were thousands of people in front of them, all of whom were dressed in the Ming army.

Li Jing was shocked when she heard this, and after all, she had revealed the rumors, and all the thoughts of wanting to sneak attack Ping'an Town along the way were now useless. However, thinking about things in his heart, Li Jing rushed to the high place of a hill in front of her and took a look with a telescope. The troops coming from the opposite side were obviously well-trained, and although they were hurrying in the direction, the ranks were not disordered. These Ming troops who came over must be Zheng Zhilong's people who came to stop them. At this time, Li Jing felt very bad, it stands to reason that Zheng Zhilong should gather his army to hold on to Ping'an Town when he got the news, and the team sent in this way will only temporarily delay the opponent, indicating that Zheng Zhilong wants to buy time for escape.

Looking around, Li Jing found that the position he was in now was very good, it was a post, Li Jing said to the division commander who followed up: "The Ming army coming from the opposite side has not yet discovered us, the spearheads in front of them are too far away from the rear team, we will knock out the front soldiers first, and their rear team has long been within our shooting distance, but their line is too long." Tell the artillerymen in the back to attack them along the road they came from after firing to the front for a while. ”

This division commander is also a veteran of Yaogang, and he is also very familiar with Li Jing, and said to Li Jing with a smile: "General Li, I see that it is a hot day, why don't you go to the tree over there to cool off and rest?" Do you still have to worry about such a small matter? ”

Li Jing was happy when she heard this, and said, "Okay! Little bunny, it's out! If you mess up Lao Tzu, see how I clean you up! After speaking, Li Jing went to rest under a banyan tree next to him without looking back. Li Jing knew that these original veterans had been trained by Ouyang He several times, and they had to be trained every time they were promoted. I really don't have to worry about such a thing in front of me. Li Jing opened a bottle of soda, took a few sips, and burped a few times, feeling that her breath was smooth. Leaning against the big banyan tree, he watched the division commander gesturing with his subordinates.

After a while, the fighters all entered the positions, and rows of mortars were erected.

The Ming army that came to block them in front, the top soldiers were a total of six horses, they beat the horses and ran in front, as soon as they crossed the hill in front of them, they suddenly found that something was wrong, and there were also a large number of troops in front of them, but before they could react, several people jumped up next to them and pulled them off their horses and tied them. At this time, the team behind them did not notice that their spearhead had been touched. As soon as they got closer, the division commander waved his hand, and light and heavy machine guns and automatic rifles suddenly opened fire together, and the hundreds of people walking in front of them were all knocked to the ground by this metal storm before they could understand what was going on. The team that came to block the attack was also Zheng Zhilong's guards, and they were absolute elite soldiers, but how could they have seen such a rain of bullets and deafening gunshots, seeing that hundreds of people in front of them had arrived at once, and they didn't know whether to advance or retreat when they were disciplined in the back, suddenly there was a strange "squeak" in the air, and then an even more terrible "boom" explosion exploded in their team, and with the explosion, their brothers with strong martial arts, arms, legs and various parts of their bodies, all flew into the sky. These darlings of Zheng Zhilong, who are usually used to cattle, were so frightened that they were so frightened that they could still take care of military discipline and fled in all directions. At this time, the charging horn of the kiln gang sounded, and with the ticking of the horn, the soldiers of the kiln gang rushed over with their guns, and the artillery commander on the hill at this time directed the artillery to extend the shooting.

Some of the bold soldiers of the Zheng family army still wanted to dance their blades and fight hard with the kiln gang soldiers, but the kiln gang soldiers did not politely beat them one by one to bloody holes.

The soldiers of the Zheng family's army, who fled in front, immediately disrupted their rear team.

Obviously, the physical strength of the Yaogang soldiers who were chasing behind was not as good as the Zheng Jiajun soldiers who fled, and the commander on this side of the Yaogang saw that it was almost there, and blew the trumpet to stop the pursuit. When the soldiers who attacked from the kiln heard the sound of the trumpet, they collapsed to the ground at once. After resting for a while, they suddenly felt thirsty and hungry, but the feeling of seasickness was gone. Now when I open the can, I eat it with dry food and pickles, and it tastes extraordinarily fragrant.

At this time, Li Jing stood up and said to the division commander: "Okay! Boy, good fun. Hurry up and leave some people to clean up the battlefield, and continue to rush ahead. I guess there will be a battle ahead before we can get to Ping'an Town. These guys came out to die, in order to delay our time. ”

"In this battle, they killed no less than a thousand people, and they want to gather together to fight with us again, I see enough!" The division commander said, "There is nothing to clean up on this battlefield, so come back and clean up when I take Ping'an Town!" ”

"Okay! Just watch it out! Li Jing is relaxed now, "You kid can take care of things!" ”

"Oops! General Li, you're scolding me! The division commander still doesn't buy Li Jing's account, "This kind of battle, any company commander of ours will fight." ”

Li Jing laughed in her heart when she heard this, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" He knew that these veterans of the kiln had gone through too many life and death tests, and they didn't pay attention to what was in front of them. Even if he speaks, only the veterans of the kiln can talk to him so casually. Li Jing is the same, he is not a veteran of Yaogang, and Li Jing will not scold them when he opens his mouth. This is a special relationship that only has that kind of special feelings.

The Yaogang army continued to advance and walked for a while, and when they could already see Ping'an Town, a dense rain of arrows was shot down from a hill in front of them, and they encountered the Zheng family's army again.

Leading the team to stop the Yaogang army was a brother who was killed from the sea with Zheng Zhilong. This general clearly knew that it would be bad luck to fight the Yaogang people on land. But without hesitation, he picked up five thousand elite soldiers and set off. This is a good brother of Zheng Zhilong. The reason why Zheng Zhilong has such a powerful empire is also because of a group of such brothers. The brother who was escorting the team to meet the Yaogang army was suddenly attacked by the Yaogang people in front of the team, and the soldiers who had retreated immediately scattered the team behind them. The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and no one can do anything. It wasn't until he was about to run back to Ping'an Town that the general gathered his team. With a simple count, he found that more than a thousand people had been lost. But he knew that if he retreated like this, he would not only be sorry for Zheng Zhilong, but also his own head would not be protected according to military discipline. So he slashed two officers who fled with the team, and commanded the army to occupy a high ground to stop the Yaogang army.

When they spotted the army approaching in front of the kiln, they shot arrows at the team at the kiln.

The division commander who had just finished winning the battle admired Li Jing very much, and really made Li Jing guess correctly, and there was still a battle before entering Ping'an Town.

"General Li, why are you so sure that they will still stop me and us?" The division commander asked puzzled.

"They came out to stop us, didn't they dare to go back?" Li Jing said: "Hurry up and command the team to fight over, no need to stop." ”

"Yes!" The division commander agreed, and went to command the army.

The Yaogang army first bombarded the opposing positions with mortars. Those who hastily occupied a small hill, did not have a fixed position, and the soldiers were densely packed together, where could they withstand the mortar bombardment. Seeing his brothers being blown up into the sky one by one in the deafening explosion, these soldiers who had been frightened suddenly collapsed backwards again. The general who commanded saw that with his flesh and blood, he really couldn't stop the cannonballs of the people in the kiln, so he ran away helplessly. When the Yaogang soldiers went up, except for the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground, the Zheng family army that stopped them all ran away.

Li Jing came to the high post that she had just occupied, looked in the direction of Ping'an Town with a telescope, and said to the division commander: "Don't worry. If we can't sneak attack, let's go over and surround them! It is estimated that our sailors have blocked their access to the sea. ”

The division commander nodded and went over to command his team. Li Jing turned around and said, "Use the radio to contact Commander Fan and them to see where they are?" ”

At this time, the telegraph operator sent a telegram. Li Jing took it and took a look, and patted her thigh happily, "Hehe! Great, as I expected! ”

The telegram came from the squadron that Li Jing had left in the southern part of Ping'an Town, and they reported to Li Jing that the Zheng family had escaped from there.

It is said that Zheng Zhilong suddenly encountered such an emergency situation, and his reaction was still very calm. It's just that the limitations of his thoughts and experiences limit him, how can he deal with it, study him for a long time, and arrange actions against him.

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly arranged for his family to retreat to the south, preparing to board a ship from the south and go to sea. But how could he have imagined that a squadron of special forces was waiting for them there.

Zheng Zhilong's family, who were in a panic, was escorted by five hundred Zheng Zhilong's personal guards, and a large convoy suddenly left south, so that the people of Ping'an Town did not know what was going on. However, after they left Ping'an Town, the kiln gang special forces outside Ping'an Town found out. Immediately telegraph the special forces who had been assembled and on standby.

On the way south of the Zheng family, there is a very narrow mountain road, although the mountains on both sides are not high, but the narrowest part of the narrow road can only pass one car. A team of special forces from Yaogang followed behind the Zheng family, and other special forces were in front of this narrow road, one after the other, blocking the Zheng family on this small road. This is the ambush site that has been chosen for a long time.

Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Shixi, with their crying and crying families, left Ping'an Town before they saw the Yaogang people, feeling very embarrassed, but they didn't dare not carry out Zheng Zhilong's orders. They were very depressed along the way, and Zheng Zhilong was very rational when dealing with major events over the years, which won everyone's trust because of this. So Zheng Zhilong's decision must be justified.

The road was not very easy to walk, and shortly after they entered a section of the mountain road, the line in front of them stopped. Zheng Chenggong said to his uncle Zheng Zhifeng: "I don't know what's going on in front, I'll go to the front and take a look." "After saying that, he stepped forward. But he didn't go far, and a soldier ran in front and reported to Zheng Chenggong: "Oh no, eldest prince, there are Yaogang people blocking the way in front." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong's sweat flowed down all of a sudden. Looking around, there was nowhere to escape on both sides, the front was blocked, and if you couldn't rush through, you had to go back to Ping'an Town. Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong hit the horse forward. The soldiers in front had formed a formation with their shields and blocked the mountain road.

The captain of the pro-soldier said to Zheng Chenggong: "My lord, the kiln gang people in front of me just shouted, saying that if we lay down our weapons. They will spare us from dying, and if we don't reply, they will attack. ”

"Prepare the archers and musketeers, for such a narrow road, we will shoot as many people as they come." Zheng Chenggong said, "I don't know how many of them there are, but there won't be too many!" It must have infiltrated first. We organize people to rush over! ”

"We have 300 people in the front team, let's let 200 rush!" The captain asked Zheng Chenggong's opinion.

"Good! Shield hand to the head! Zheng Chenggong agreed with the opinion of the captain of the pro-soldiers.

The leader of the special forces squadron blocking the intersection in front didn't expect a few words to make all the people who escaped surrender, they knew that the hundreds of people in the opponent's hands would not surrender if they didn't die. But you can't be in a hurry, because today's task is not to kill people, but to intercept the Zheng family who escaped.

They set up light machine guns in front, and the soldiers also set up automatic rifles and waited for them.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the leader of the special forces squadron to see one or two hundred soldiers in Ming army uniforms rushing over without binoculars, and the soldiers in front of them were holding shields. The squadron leader said to the sniper next to him: "The little leader who took the lead with the sword, knock it out!" ”

"That's it!" The sniper agreed, and at the same time pulled the trigger with his fingers, and with a "poof" of the sniper rifle on the ***, the squadron leader saw through the binoculars that the little leader who was constantly waving his sword and directing the soldiers to charge threw his head up, threw the sword in his hand, and fell to the ground. The soldiers around him were obviously taken aback, but the soldiers did not stop attacking and continued to rush forward. The squadron leader couldn't help but praise: "They are all elite soldiers!" "It was not until the soldiers rushed to within fifty meters that the squadron leader gave the order to shoot. As soon as the light machine guns and automatic rifles fired, the soldiers of the Zheng family army, who were crowding the narrow mountain road to attack, were quickly covered by a rain of metal bullets. More than 200 people did not flee back. The people behind the few people who fled back were so frightened that they couldn't speak when they saw Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong also saw this scene in his eyes from a distance, and he understood that it was impossible to rush out. The weapons of the Yaogang people are simply terrifying, this is the personal soldier of his father Zheng Zhilong, and the people who can enter this team are all good martial arts, but before they saw their opponents, they were all dead here.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong wanted not only to return to Ping'an Town as soon as possible, but to tell his father Zheng Zhilong about the terrible power of Yaogang as soon as possible.

Zheng Chenggong ordered the remaining front team of more than 100 people, if the Yaogang people attacked, you should get close to fight them, and you were not allowed to let one over.

Zheng Chenggong turned his horse back to his uncle Zheng Zhifeng and his younger brother Zheng hereditary. Without waiting for Zheng Chenggong to speak, Zheng Zhifeng said: "It seems that it is dangerous, and there are kiln gang people in the back." How's the front? ”

"What? There are also kiln gang people in the back! Zheng Chenggong's head was Weng's voice, calmed down for a moment, and said, "What just rang out is the gunfire of the kiln gangsters, and our more than 200 brothers will be finished in a while!" ”

"Two, more than 200 people are finished?" Zheng Zhifeng couldn't believe it.

"It's over!" Zheng Chenggong said.

The three uncles and nephews looked at each other, desperate in a desperate situation. Zheng Chenggong gritted his teeth and said, "There are still 200 people in our rear team, let's rush to the back." I went! ”

Zheng Chenggong rushed towards the rear team with a handful of horses, and when he saw the soldiers behind, Zheng Chenggong said to them: "We have enemy soldiers in front and behind, but now there is only one way to live in the back." Brothers, let's fight to the death! ”

These soldiers are really unambiguous, and they all say, "Fight, fight!" ”

Led by the officer, they rushed behind with a shout.

When the gunshots rang out from the kiln gangsters, Zheng Chenggong heard that the gunshots were obviously less than those in front of him. Just when Zheng Chenggong was just a little lucky, gunshots rang out again from the front team. Zheng Chenggong knew that it was the more than 100 soldiers in front of him who had come into contact with the kiln gang people, to be precise, the kiln gang people had already begun to attack.

Zheng Chenggong couldn't see the situation in the front team, but the soldiers who rushed over in the back team fell one by one, and Zheng Chenggong could still see it clearly. The soldiers who were waiting for the rear team to charge all fell, and the soldiers from the kiln gang also walked over slowly with their weapons in their hands. At this time, the gunfire of the front team also stopped, and Zheng Chenggong understood that the soldiers of the front team either laid down their weapons or were killed. Zheng Chenggong couldn't move forward or dare to retreat when he rode on a horse, and he would be killed like the fallen soldiers in front of him if he advanced, and he didn't know how to tell his family when he retreated.

Until the soldiers of the kiln came to him, they shouted at him with the muzzle of the black hole: "Put down your weapons and dismount!" ”

The knife in Zheng Chenggong's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he was also pulled off his horse by the kiln soldiers. Then they were tied up with five flowers. All the men of the Zheng family were tied, and the women and children were not tied, but they were also warned that if they did not listen to the command, they would not be polite.

The Zheng family was escorted to a prepared courtyard.

Because they wanted to make the situation clearer, the special forces adopted the method of separate interrogation, and determined that Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Shiji, Zheng Zhilong's wife (Japanese), and most of the Zheng family's family were caught in one net this time.

At this time, the squadron leader of the special forces sent a telegram to Li Jing.

Li Jing immediately sent a telegram to Fan Chengkun and the Yaogang Command Center to report the news.

At this time, Fan Chengkun and his fleet had already entered Weitou Bay and blocked the entrance to the sea in Ping'an Town. Before the several warships sent by Zheng Zhilong left the bay, one of them was smashed by the warships of Yaogang, and the other warships retreated into the bay. Fan Chengkun didn't want to sink them more.

Fan Chengkun received Li Jing's telegram and knew that most of the Zheng family had been arrested, and he was even happier in his heart, because if he could catch Zheng Zhilong and command the fleet of the Zheng family army and everything in Fujian in the name of Zheng Zhilong, it would be much easier. Therefore, Fan Chengkun sent this idea to the Yaogang Command Center, suggesting that Zheng Zhilong should be built a house in Yaogang.

Of course, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He could understand Fan Chengkun's thoughts, and agreed to Fan Chengkun's suggestion without any hesitation.
