Volume VIII Troubled Times

Chapter 2 The soldiers are divided into two routes

Section 10 Pre-war Confrontations

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (the eighth year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), in mid-April, Quanzhou City, Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong sat in the hall with a sad face in his armor, and the two brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, as well as Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Cai and other "Eighteen Zhi" generals all sat around with grim expressions, and everyone was looking at a map on the table attentively, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was very depressing. I saw that the situation of the two armies shown on the map was very unfavorable to Zheng Zhilong, and the Ming battle flag on the map had formed a situation of encirclement of Quanzhou City, and several Zheng battle flags were all cowering around Quanzhou, and they couldn't move at all, and they were wiped out in a big battle!

Zheng Zhihu said with a frosty face: "Big brother, the soldiers and horses under the Jiliao Governor Division are very majestic, a few days ago I led my troops to watch the battle, and the hundreds of soldiers under my command were all frightened, and they didn't have the courage to fight at all, I have never seen such a strong army when I grew so big!" Big brother, we can't win! ”

Zheng Zhibao also nodded slightly, and then said: "Big brother, I think we have to think about peace talks, and we must not be reckless at this time." ”

After the two finished speaking, Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Cai and others also spoke one after another, all advising Zheng Zhilong not to have a hard fight with Han Weijun, and it was best to find a way to sit down with Liu Yunwei and have a good talk.

"Bang!"

Before everyone finished speaking, they heard Zheng Zhilong slam the table and shouted, "Shut up!" The big war is imminent, and you, as the generals of the unified army, are all so corrupting the morale of the army, what kind of crime should you be guilty of! ”

Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao and others all lowered their heads when they heard this, and they were all silent.

"I know that the Hanwei Army is strong, and I am also preparing for peace talks, but there is a prerequisite for peace talks, that is, to beat the Hanwei Army! Otherwise, it will not be peace talks, but surrender! If all of us are afraid of the enemy and war, we won't even have a chance to speak, do you understand! ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhilong glared at everyone angrily, with an expression of wanting to eat people, which scared everyone into silence.

At this time, Zheng Zhihu boldly asked, "Big brother, what can we do to beat Han Weijun to pain?" ”

Zheng Zhilong frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Concentrate all the elites of the army and assemble in Nan'an City, fifteen miles west of Quanzhou City. I'm going to lead all the elites to a big battle with the Hanwei Army! The rest of the soldiers and horses are guarding Quanzhou City! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Zheng Zhihu hurriedly said: "Big brother, you are going to fight a decisive battle with the Han Wei Army!" Never! ”

Zheng Zhilong sighed and said, "I just want the Inspector to know that we also have a killer weapon in our hands, and if we fight hard, the Hanwei Army will also have to pay the price." Only by making the Inspector feel that we are not easy to deal with, so that he retreats, can we negotiate with the Inspector on the table, do you know? ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion to ten miles west of Nan'an City. At this time, the pacesetter battalion led by Liu Yunwei only included the C battalion, the artillery battalion and the baggage battalion, with a total of more than 10,000 soldiers; The rest of the pacesetter battalion's A battalion, battalion B and Longxiang iron cavalry soldiers divided their troops to encircle Quanzhou City: Battalion A garrisoned Fengtian and led his troops to enter Jinjiang City, the south gate of Quanzhou City, and Feng Xuan, the garrison of Battalion B, led his troops to attack Hui'an City, the north gate of Quanzhou City, and the garrison Guo Yi led Longxiang Iron Cavalry to attack Quanzhou City and harass Zheng Zhilong's rear.

After the more than 20,000 soldiers of the pacesetter battalion were in full swing, it caused great pressure on Zheng Zhilong's army, and some auxiliary units with low combat effectiveness began to appear deserters even before the battle, so angry that Zheng Zhilong was furious and killed many deserters to deter his generals and stabilize the morale of the army.

After hearing these news, Liu Yunwei smiled and said to Bao Desheng, the garrison of the C battalion, the garrison of the artillery battalion, and Zhu Xuyu, the garrison of the baggage battalion: "It seems that this sworn brother of mine has been very unsatisfactory recently, and I, as a brother, have to help him!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

Zhu Xu said with a smile: "Supervisor, according to the night report, Zheng Zhilong has personally led eight thousand elite troops to garrison Nan'an City, as if he came to stop us, it seems that Zheng Zhilong is determined to fight with us." ”

Bao Desheng said with a contemptuous face: "I don't understand, who gave Zheng Zhilong so much confidence?" Think that with only 8,000 so-called elites, you can compete with our tens of thousands of troops? Was he joking? ”

Liu Yunwei smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's better to be cautious, let's not do things like capsizing in the gutter!" The order went down, the army continued to advance, and in the evening camped under the city of Nan'an, and the army began to attack the city early tomorrow morning! ”

Early the next morning, Zheng Zhilong received an urgent report and learned that Liu Yunwei had led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the city, so he led Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao to the west city wall. As soon as he came to the city wall, the majestic battle formation of the Han Wei Army came into view, and Zheng Zhilong was severely shocked, and the whole person looked at the large array of 10,000 people outside the city, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't even speak, just stared blankly outside the city, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Big brother?"

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

After Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhilong screamed a few times, Zheng Zhilong came back to his senses and said with some embarrassment: "Pass the order, let the soldiers all cheer up, as long as we can withstand the offensive of the Hanwei army, when we talk about peace in the future, our waist pole will be able to harden up!" ”

Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao nodded yes one after another, and hurriedly went down to give the order.

And Zheng Zhilong looked at the battle formation of the Hanwei Army outside the city, sighed slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Big brother, do you really want to use such a strong army to fight me?" ”

Half an hour later, the Hanwei army outside the city was ready to attack the city, Edward led the artillery battalion soldiers to have filled the thirty big Buddha Lang machine guns, and Bao Desheng also led the soldiers of the C battalion to line up the formation, ready to suppress the enemy army on the city at any time.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong looked at the thirty particularly eye-catching cannons outside the city, beat the drum in his heart, thought for a while, and said, "Order!" Gather 3,000 troops and follow me out of the city to meet the battle! ”

Zheng Zhihu on the side hurriedly stopped and said, "Why did the eldest brother want to leave the city temporarily? ”

Zheng Zhilong pointed to the artillery array of the Hanwei army outside the city and said: "Look at those artillery, we can't nest in the city as a target, we must go out of the city, as long as we can knock out the artillery array of the Hanwei army, we have a bargaining chip for peace talks!" ”

Zheng Zhihu said directly: "That big brother is in the city, and I will lead the troops to attack!" ”

"It's good! Be careful, brother! ”

A moment later, Zheng Zhihu led an army of 3,000 out of the West City Gate and began to reorganize the formation outside the city.

Seeing this, Liu Yunwei was not half worried, but observed the three thousand army with interest. I saw that the three thousand elites led by Zheng Zhihu were all wearing heavy armor, holding long-handled broadswords, carrying iron-tired strong bows behind them, and even those soldiers had hideous iron masks on their faces, these three thousand soldiers and horses were actually a hoplite armed to the teeth, and their combat power could not be underestimated.

Liu Yunwei smiled and said to Bao Desheng: "Good guy, this little brother of mine really has some hole cards!" However, since Zheng Zhilong made a move, the Bao garrison led his troops to attack, and he had a good move with Zheng Zhilong. ”

At this time, Bao Desheng couldn't wait for a long time, and immediately took the order.

After a while, the 4,000 birdmen of the C Battalion lined up to attack, and the soldiers crossed the artillery camp position with neat steps and stopped a hundred paces away from Zheng Zhihu's headquarters. The two armies with a total of 7,000 soldiers began to form a team, and a warm-up battle before the big battle is about to begin!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Liu Yunwei gave an order, and the Chinese army of the Hanwei Army beat the war drums, and the majestic war drums resounded throughout the battlefield, pushing the morale of the soldiers of the C Battalion to the peak. I saw 4,000 soldiers roaring in unison, full of fighting spirit.

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Forward!"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

With Bao Desheng's order, 4,000 soldiers of the C Battalion lined up in four rows, each with 1,000 soldiers, and pressed towards Zheng Zhihu's headquarters a hundred steps away, and the momentum of the army was like a rainbow and unstoppable.

And Zheng Zhihu in the distance also gasped when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the army to catch up, and the three thousand iron man troops also marched in formation, and the battle formation of the army was uniform and not chaotic at all.

Liu Yunwei was taken aback when he saw this, and said to Zhu Xuyu beside him: "Zheng Zhilong still has such an elite in his hands, and this governor really underestimates him. However, our army is also victorious in this battle, but it's a pity that those elite soldiers are gone! ”

When the two armies marched dozens of steps in the opposite direction, Zheng Zhihu took the lead in ordering the army to stop advancing and shoot arrows at the soldiers of the C Battalion of the Hanwei Army dozens of paces away. Suddenly, a dense and ferocious rain of arrows enveloped the phalanx of the soldiers of the C Battalion, and hundreds of soldiers were shot down in an instant, but the phalanx composed of the soldiers of the C Battalion was still not chaotic at all, and the four thousand soldiers were not afraid of death, and they were still advancing towards Zheng Zhihu's department step by step.

Seeing this scene, not only Zheng Zhihu suddenly felt a chill, but even Zheng Zhilong on the city wall was eyelids jumping and frightened.

At this moment, the soldiers of the C Battalion had already walked thirty steps away from Zheng Zhihu's headquarters, only to hear Bao Desheng roar angrily: "Stop advancing!" Salvo ready! One row of squats, two or three rows of squats! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Four platoons of 4,000 ornithmen fired a volley at a distance of forty paces from the enemy, and the loud sound was like a landslide and tsunami, and the thick smoke of gunpowder suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield. And the 3,000 Iron Man Army led by Zheng Zhihu was like a small grass in the storm, swaying helplessly, and the soldiers fell to the ground in pain, and the nearly 1,000 people standing at the front of the military formation were not spared, and the entire battle array suddenly collapsed.
