While Geng Zhongming and the others were still hesitating, the dock area was already in dire straits.
The officers and men of the Hongmen fleet have been recuperating for a long time, even if they are not in the naval battle they are good at, in the face of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Daqingshui Division, they still show their bravery.
The drill tactics that have never been left behind in peacetime, the various coordinated battle formations, and the support of bows and arrows and muskets in the back row made the commandos in the front row like fierce tigers, and it was not long before the Qing Dynasty soldiers hurriedly built up the rear defense front.
The Korean army at the forefront of the front, at this time, with the support of Hongmen, a vital force, under the leadership of the guard generals led by Cui Zige, gradually gained a firm foothold, relying on the advantages of the palace wall on Ganghwa Island and other geographical advantages, and the Qing soldiers who were gradually losing their rhythm in the front team fought in full swing, at least there was no more Fang Cai's dangerous egg.
"Soldiers, the reinforcements have arrived, it's time to serve the country, only after this battle, this official will personally write a letter to ask for merit for you!!"
Cui Zige escaped, as long as he can hold on to the Hongmen soldiers to wipe out this army of the Great Clear Water Division, for him, the previous careless drunkenness is not only gone, but there will be a great merit in his body, and it is not a dream to be promoted to an official and a half-knight.
"No!!"
The soldiers below reversed the previous uneasy look, all of them were like chicken blood, but the swords in their hands were slashed with inexhaustible strength, and they were stunned to fight with the originally strong Qing attack team, so far they did not retreat.
"Lao Geng, you should make a decision quickly, if you don't make up your mind, I'm afraid that we will ask you to be buried on this island today!!"
Kong Youde, as Geng Zhongming's deputy, was indescribably anxious in his heart, just a cup of tea, the team behind them to resist the attack of the Hongtang fleet had already lost nearly a thousand people, and if they continued to fight like this, even if the two of them wanted to surrender again, without the chips of nearly 10,000 soldiers in their hands, their status in the Hongmen team in the future would be very low, and it would be even more difficult to compete with Shang Kexi.
"That's it!"
Geng Zhongming waved his hand, glanced at Kong Youde in frustration, and then issued an order to his henchmen behind him: "Pass on my order, the sailors will shrink with the official general's flag as the center, stop the attack on the Korean palace, and increase their efforts to resist the Hongmen sailors in the rear." ”
"No!"
The henchmen had to be ordered to go down and deliver the order.
After giving this order, Geng Zhongming turned his head and said to Kong Youde: "Since we want to surrender, no matter what, we must show our strength in front of this Hongmen general, and let them know that Xiangya Road swallows us, and the price they will pay will be very large!" ”
"I can save this, Lao Geng, you don't have to explain it to me!"
Kong Youde, who has been in the army for a long time, was very clear about the intention of Geng Zhongming's arrangement, and nodded clearly: "Then I will send people to keep an eye on those teams of Jurchens, and we will ............ when the time is ripe."
Kong Youde's murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he drew a stroke on his neck with his wrist, which was firmly approved by Geng Zhongming.
Although they expressed their intention to reuse Geng Zhongming and the others, the Qing people still installed a team of nearly 1,000 Jurchen and Mongolian soldiers in Geng Zhongming's team, which is called to strengthen the strength of their team, but in fact, who doesn't understand the real intention of the Qing people's team!
"My lord, do you need artillery pressure from the naval fleet now?"
As the Great Clear Water Division gradually shrank, the pace of the Hongtang soldiers gradually slowed down, and the number of the Great Clear Water Division team was there, and Hong Men wanted to eat this piece of fat in one bite, and he was afraid that he would suffer a lot of damage under the strong attack, but this was what Wu Jie and they did not want to see.
Therefore, the mid- and low-level Hongtang non-commissioned officers also gradually slowed down the pace of the attack, and sent team members to ask for instructions on the next action.
"Don't rush, let's wait for a while, pay attention to putting pressure on their team, but the offensive doesn't have to be too fierce."
Wu Jie did not agree to the proposal of the members of the staff around him, turned his head to face Shang Kexi, the deputy beside him, and meaningfully handed him a note he had just gotten.
"Lord Shang, you take a look at this thing first, I want to hear your opinion."
Wu Jie, who used to have a big personality and frizzy, has become more and more calm with the subtle transformation of his high position over the years, as well as his gradual growth.
“…………”
Shang Kexi took the note with dozens of scribbled handwriting, and after reading it at a glance, he raised his head with a complicated expression, and was reluctant to speak.
"Do you think that we should believe the contents of this article?"
For Shang Kexi, a colleague who fell from the sky, Wu Jie honestly had no other ideas, and never looked down on the other party, but in the final analysis, among the many soldiers of their Hongmen who can climb to their current position, which person does not know the roots, so the only thing Wu Jie is worried about is that this general who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty to Li Tianyang as his deputy, whether his heart is worthy of the trust of himself and others.
The content written on the note is just a document that was obtained from a Qing soldier who was voluntarily captured, and recorded that Geng Zhongming and others wanted to surrender.
The contradiction between Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming and others is not a secret to Hongmen, whose intelligence system covers the entire Daming coast, and it is just a matter of a sentence for a high-level general like Wu Jie to know this information.
Therefore, at this time, Wu Jie suddenly handed over the note to Shang Kexi, wanting to ask the other party's opinion on this matter, but he wanted to test whether this guerrilla master put the interests of Hongmen first or his own selfish interests first.
If it is the former, then Wu Jie will also have less doubts about this Lord Shang, and he can cooperate with him well in the future; But if the other party chooses the latter, then I'm sorry, as the master, I have the advantage of dictatorship, and I can dismiss the other party's issues, and at the same time, I will talk to Li Tianyang after I return, so that he can pay more attention to this Ming Dynasty general.
"This person's heart is unpredictable, and the last general really doesn't dare to boast about whether the other party's intentions are true, but with the last general's understanding of these two people, I am afraid that this article is at least seventy percent more likely to be true!"
Although he is a little unwilling, in the face of two old enemies, it is not easy for Shang Ke to seize the opportunity to be ashamed, but in the face of the other party's proposal to surrender to sincerity, Shang Kexi, as a minister, is first and foremost to consider Hongmen and choose a more favorable path for Hongmen.
"If possible, the last general thinks that he should accept the surrender of the other side, so that not only can he reduce the losses of our army, but also gain an army of thousands at the same time, why not?"
