Fang Yuan's Xuanjia army was like a cat and mouse, driving Shi Lang and his party to defeat.

The two sides fled and chased, and went around in a big circle in Zhejiang.

Five days later, he left Shaoxing Mansion and entered Jinhua Mansion;

Fifteen days later, he left Jinhua Mansion and entered Taizhou Mansion.

None of the state capitals along the way dared to come to support Shi Lang, and it was impossible for Fang Yuan to let the remnants of the Zheng family enter any county seat.

The remnants of Shi Lang and his party had no accommodation, so they could only be stationed in the field; If there is no food supply, they can only kill the war horses, and when the war horses are eaten up, they begin to plunder the food of the villagers; Along the way, he was empty and lonely, so he caught a few folk girls to vent.

Zheng Jun traveled like locusts, and all the villages he passed through were looted.

Fang Yuan didn't stop it, but watched the play from a distance. Zheng Jun wants to corrupt military discipline and loot the people, that is the best. Anyway, it was the people of Zhejiang who suffered, and it was the Zhejiang Political Secretary who colluded with Zheng Jun who was embarrassed, not the people under Fang Yuan's rule.

In the future, it can be justified in the name of crusading against Zheng Zhilong under the banner of hanging the people.

Shi Lang's marching destination, Fang Yuan is clear at a glance, that is, the Zhengjia Naval Division Base in Taizhou Mansion - Haimen Guard.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to let the remnants of Shi Lang's soldiers escape into the sea gatekeepers.

After entering the territory of Taizhou Prefecture, Fang Yuan immediately ordered Chigutai to attack, blocking Shi Lang's remnants directly on a small mountain and forest, but anyone who went down the mountain was annihilated on the spot. From time to time, a few cannons were also placed on the mountains and forests to hit Shi Lang's fighting spirit.

Along the way, Shi Lang's 1,000 remnants of soldiers have fled, and there are less than 500 people who are still with Shi Lang, all of whom are soldiers of the Shi family, basically distant relatives of the Shi family. Therefore, it is impossible for Shi Lang to abandon these Shi clan soldiers and escape alone, he has been gritting his teeth and insisting, no matter how he wants to bring these five hundred people back to the sea gatekeepers.

Of course, why do you need 3,000 Xuanjia troops to defend Shi Lang? Fang Yuan left behind a thousand Xuanjia troops, led by Chigutai, and continued to besiege Shi Lang in the mountains and forests. And Fang Yuan led the elite division by himself and went straight to the sea gatekeepers.

Even the sea guards were extinguished together, and the two sailor bases of the Zheng family in Zhejiang were wiped out, which was the loudest slap in the face to Zheng Zhilong, see if you can come to Suzhou Mansion or not.

Haimenwei is still an important town for Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese war, and there is no doubt about the strength of the city defense. The moat at the main gate of the Acropolis is three feet wide, leading the river water into the river. In order to snipe the Xuanjia army across the river, the bridge was also blown up.

From a distance, at least twenty cannons were piled up on the city gates. Because it is condescending at the head of the city wall, it does have the advantage of suppressing the artillery of the Xuanjia Army.

Fang Yuan's horse walked around the Acropolis of Haimen, observing the terrain, only to see that the other other gates were also heavily defended, and there were countless artillery batteries built on the mountain. In addition, the artillery of the city wall can support each other, and no matter which gate is attacked, it will also be supported by the artillery of each gate.

All the bridges in front of the city gate have been destroyed, it can be seen that Shi Fu learned the lesson of the loss of Guanhaiwei, and gathered all the Zheng soldiers in the Haimen Acropolis to defend, and no longer dared to divide the troops, let alone go out to fight in the field, and thoroughly implemented the strategy of 'Yuan Chonghuan, a famous general of a generation', to increase the cannon on the city wall, and not to leave the city by killing him.

Fang Yuan turned around and sighed secretly, he was worthy of being a famous guard personally supervised by Qi Jiguang, and his defense was really leaky.

Fang Yuan had already learned from the captured Zheng Jun sergeant that it was still Shi Fu's retreat from Guanhaiwei's sailors, plus the guard sergeants of Haimenwei, a total of 5,000 people, and nearly 20 warships.

He carefully studied the defense system of the Haimen Guards, attacked the Haimen Acropolis head-on, and had to face the artillery of the Zheng army in order to reach the moat. It was also necessary to brave the artillery of the Zheng army and fill the moat to cross the river. After this round of artillery bombardment, the Xuanjia Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The Manchu Tartars couldn't take Ningyuan City, also because this kind of defense system was really difficult to break, and if they wanted to forcibly break it, it would be more than worth the loss.

For this kind of city, the general approach is to besiege, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty besieged the Daling River and forced the ancestor to surrender. But the sea guards have support from the sea, and the siege is useless, and the one who can't support it first must be Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan found the only weakness of this sea gatekeeper, which may be..... Haimen Dongshan.

Haimen East Mountain is located in the peak east of Haimenwei, and under the mountain is the Yanqing Gate in the north of the city. As long as you take Haimen Dongshan, you can capture Yanqingmen and occupy the commanding heights of the Acropolis.

Since Shi Fu burned all the moat bridges and didn't plan to leave the city at all, no matter how the Xuanjia army set up a suspicious array outside the moat, Shi Fu couldn't send troops to test it.

Fang Yuan immediately ordered the Xuanjia Army to set up two virtual battalions outside the main gate and the south gate of the Haimen Guard, each battalion only had five hundred Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and the smoke of the cooking rose every day as usual to confuse the defenders' eyes and ears.

The main force of the 2,000-foot battalion and 500-artillery battalion of the real Xuanjia Army attacking the Haimen Guards made a big circle, and secretly sneaked into a village under the east mountain of Haimen at night.

After Fang Yuan entered the village, in order to keep it secret, he directly blocked all the roads out of the village and found the chief of the village.

Since Qi Jiguang pacified the Japanese Kou, the Haimen guards have not experienced sword soldiers for decades, and the Xuanjia Army, who came with a trembling and murderous spirit, has long been frightened and begged for mercy.

Fang Yuan directly took out a thousand taels of silver and put it in front of the chief, asking the chief to organize the men and women in the village to keep secrets and cooperate with all Fang Yuan's actions, and this thousand taels of silver was the reward.

Zhejiang's economy is far inferior to that of the four prefectures, and the land taxes handed over by the entire Zhejiang are even the same as those of Suzhou Prefecture. Taizhou Mansion is an economically backward area in Zhejiang, and 1,000 taels of silver is really not a small amount for the villagers.

Zheng Jun's military discipline is not good, and he often requisitions labor from the village to do miscellaneous labor in Haimenwei without compensation.

Li Chang, the villagers did not have the slightest good impression of Zheng Jun, the seagate guard, and even more so when they saw the money, they immediately agreed to Fang Yuan's request.

Fang originally inquired about the road up the mountain in Haimen Dongshan.

The lieutenant told him truthfully that after the East Mountain, there are two small roads in the north and south that can go up the mountain to the Acropolis wall on the East Mountain.

Originally, when Qi Jiguang was guarding the Japanese at Haimen, a city gate was built on the city wall on the mountain, and a military camp was used to protect it to prevent the Japanese from sneaking up on Haimen Dongshan.

But over the years, the sea gate guards have no foreign enemies, and the military affairs are deserted, and the city gate on the mountain has no effect, and the military camp has long been abandoned. After the Zheng army was stationed, he didn't have the energy to repair it anymore, but used earth and stone to completely seal the city gate.

Fang Yuan then ordered the lieutenant chief to arrange for a few villagers to go up the mountain to inquire about the Zheng army's guards, and the villagers came back to report that there were less than 200 Zheng soldiers guarding the section of the city wall on the east mountain of Haimen.

Most of the Zheng army, as well as artillery, were arranged at the main gate and south gate to guard against the Xuanjia army, plus Shi Fu did not pay attention to the Haimen Dongshan defense line far away from the frontal battlefield, and the troops drawn out to guard against Haimen Dongshan were very few.

There are less than two hundred Zheng troops, so it will be easy to do, Fang Yuan's plan to capture Haimen Dongshan is the most primitive sound to attack the west.

The villagers dressed up as Xuanjia sergeants, beat gongs and drums, and shouted on Nanshan Road, attracting Zheng Jun's attention to Nanshan Road. The main force of the Xuanjia Army secretly went up the mountain from the Beishan Road and took the city wall of Haimen Dongshan in one fell swoop.

Mountain combat is the strong point of the Malin infantry battalion, and the task of attacking Haimen Dongshan this time was handed over to Malin's shoulders. This is also Fang Yuan's personal test of Ma Lin, if he can't pass this level, it is estimated that Ma Lin, the commander of the infantry battle battalion, will only be Rang Xian.

As night fell, the villagers began to beat gongs and drums and shout under the Nanshan Road, attracting Zheng Jun's attention. Ma Lin led the elite of the 1,500 infantry battalion to carry simple climbing tools, taking advantage of the night to go up the mountain from the north mountain road and raid the city wall.

Fang Yuan and Li Zongze, with the help of the villagers, carried the artillery of the artillery battalion and followed the infantry battalion of Malin up the mountain, as long as Malin could capture the city wall and gain a firm foothold, the artillery of the artillery battalion could pile up the city wall and shell the Zheng army under the mountain.

The main force of the Zheng army on the east mountain of Haimen was really attracted by the noise of the villagers under the mountain, and on the wall of Beishan Road, there were less than thirty Zheng troops left.

Ma Lin's infantry battalion relied on simple climbing tools to begin to attack the city wall, and Zheng Jun immediately discovered the enemy's situation, blowing the horn for help while fighting with the Xuanjia sergeants who climbed the city wall.

There were constant sounds of fighting and shouting on the city wall, and after less than a quarter of an hour, a signal came from Malin that the city wall had been captured, and the soldiers of the infantry battalion had continuously climbed the city wall.

Ma Lin divided two hundred-man teams, attacked on the left and right, and found favorable terrain to snipe Zheng Jun, who had come to support after receiving the alarm, and the shouting and killing had alarmed the entire Haimen guards.

The artillery battalions of Fang Yuan and Li Zongze also went up to the city wall, and the artillery battalion set up ten artillery pieces at the head of the city as fast as possible, and five of them began to be condescending, carrying out fierce artillery bombardment on the Zheng army that came to support the two city walls.

Five more artillery pieces began to shell the Zheng army camp under Yanqingmen.

Shi Fu obviously didn't expect the Xuanjia army to attack from Haimen Dongshan, and began to dispatch soldiers and artillery from each gate to start assembling towards Haimen Dongshan.
