Zhu Qing swam back from the beach. The Dutch soldiers who had been chased down the rope had been smashed to pieces.

After the rope broke, the Dutch army could not pursue the villagers and Jinyiwei in time, so they had to reluctantly return from the tunnel.

On the way back, the embarrassed Dutch invaders burned and looted all the way, not only burning the last bit of the ghost village, but also destroying the surrounding villages.

The people of the ghost village looked at their village destroyed by the invaders from afar, hugging each other with gloomy sorrows. The villagers who had survived the first Dutch raid were not spared this time, either dying in the fire or being mercilessly slaughtered by the invaders. The ghost village became a veritable ghost village overnight, lifeless.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Zhu Qing could only comfort the village chief and Xiao Gu like this, and there were not many of them. An ancient village of more than 1,000 people, now there are less than 100 people left. And they are already luckier than the other villages, because the other villages have almost no survivors.

Night fell again. In order to avoid the search and pursuit of the Dutch army, Jin Yiwei escorted the villagers to a remote ferry port under the leadership of the old village chief, looking at the surrounding environment, few people came here, it should be a desperate place found by the old village chief, those invaders are not familiar with life, and they will not find here for a while.

"General, we've found a few boats, enough to take all of us here." Zhu Qing sent out earlier to come back and report.

Zhu Qing nodded, and then organized the villagers and the wounded soldiers to get on the two boats.

The villagers thought that the Jinyi guards were going to escort them to Kinmen for refuge, and they rushed to board the ship first. Unexpectedly, when he looked back, Zhu Qing did not get on the boat, but only ordered more than a dozen brocade guards to escort the villagers and the wounded away.

"General! Let's withdraw first, and then gather a team with the Zheng family army to kill back tomorrow at dawn! A brocade guard persuaded.

Zhu Qing shook his head, "I can't wait." You listen ......"

Zhu Qingyi said, everyone quieted down and listened fixedly, only to hear waves of humming faintly, but people with good ears could still hear the sound far and near.

"What kind of roar does it seem like?" A brocade guard wondered.

Zhu Qing smiled bitterly, "This is the roar of a large warship, it seems that the enemy's reinforcements have rushed towards Penghu." If I guessed correctly, the sound was made by the enemy's giant battleship 'Hector'. So, I had to stay and find out the situation! ”

"I'll stay too!"

"I'll stay too!"

"Follow the general to the death!"

……

After hearing this, the soldiers said that Zhu Qing was quite pleased, but he still forced the dozen brocade guards to escort the villagers and wounded soldiers back.

Those dozen or so people had already missed fighting side by side with Zhu Qing at the cliff pass, and now it seemed that everyone was afraid of being a deserter and was reluctant to leave.

"On this trip, you not only want to protect the safety of the villagers and the wounded soldiers, but also to truthfully report the military situation here to General Zheng, so that they can prepare for a tough battle in time and leave as soon as possible! Otherwise, Qinglong will be really dangerous this time! If you go back, you can save me, you stay, and everyone can only die together! Zhu Qing spoke hard, and finally persuaded the affectionate Jinyiwei brothers to get on the boat.

"Anchor!" Zhu Qing didn't dare to hesitate, if he could start the boat as soon as possible, the people on the boat would be less dangerous, and with a shout, the two ships left quietly in the night.

After sending off the villagers and wounded soldiers, there were still more than 30 people left in Zhu Qing's group.

"Less is less, but the mission is not discounted!" Zhu Qing looked at the thirty or so people gathered and pondered.

"General, what do you mean by discounts?" One asked.

"That's it! No excuses, no excuses! Zhu Qing responded.

Everyone immediately stood up straight and ready to go.

"Do you know what this mission is?" Zhu Qing asked.

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads, and after a moment, one of them asked, "General, did you let the brothers touch that 'don't drink much'?" ”

After Zhu Qing heard this, he almost didn't laugh, and responded, "It's 'Hector'!" ”

"To 'Hector'! Let's go blow it up! The kid smiled innocently.

Zhu Qing was a little crying and laughing, "Exploded?" Not to mention blowing up, it's nice if you can get close to it! Do you know how big our 'Green Dragon' is? ”

Everyone nodded, Zhu Qing hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said calmly, "The 'Hector' can be loaded with ten 'Qinglong'!" ”

Before the words fell, there was an uproar, my good man, this is a veritable Big Mac!

"General, can that foreign-haired man create such a big monster? Have you seen it? Someone asked again.

Zhu Qing replied helplessly, "This monster is produced in a place called the East India Company, and most of them are used to do some bad things, plunder and pirates. I haven't seen the real guy with my own eyes, but ...... I kind of know what it looks like. ”

For the Ming army, the concept of the East India Company and the "Hector" was foreign to them, and Zhu Qing could not say that he had learned it from history. But to say this is to let the subordinates be mentally prepared and not to underestimate the enemy.

Sure enough, a giant battleship did what pirates did, such a description, all the subordinates knew how powerful the enemy was, and the few young men who were shouting to blow up "Hector" just now suddenly lost their voices.

Zhu Qing looked at Cheng Demon's subordinates and smiled slightly, "However, don't be discouraged, what have I been teaching you?" All reactionaries, all aggressors are paper tigers! It will be defeated by the people and justice! Our mission this time is to send out all the hidden dangers of ambushes on Penghu Island to prevent the Zheng family's sailors from entering the enemy's ambush circle when they arrive! Avoid unnecessary casualties and losses! Do you understand!? ”

"Understood! All aggressors are paper tigers! All the soldiers echoed in unison, and Zhu Qing realized that the mobilization meeting was too excited, as if it was going to attract the Dutch.

Sure enough, a light appeared not far away, and then a noise was heard coming from this side.

Zhu Qing took out his clairvoyance and looked at it, and muttered, "Oops, careless." The enemy has discovered us! Evacuate! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Qing led the soldiers back to the ferry, and disappeared into the grass and night.

However, at this time, almost all the Dutch soldiers were patrolling the island, so where should they go?

Zhu Qing pondered for a moment, and pointed in the direction of the ghost village, "Go back to the ghost village!" ”

"Huh?!" When the soldiers heard this, they thought they had heard it wrong and were stunned for a moment.

"The most dangerous places are often the safest. The enemy would not have thought that we would kill back the carbines. Moreover, the location of the ghost village on the island is good, so it is convenient for us to scout around and find out the enemy's stronghold. Zhu Qing said, and had already taken the lead in sneaking back to the ghost village.

After hearing this, the soldiers suddenly opened their mouths, followed closely behind, and returned to the ghost village where everyone was not destroyed under the noses of the enemy.

When they entered the village, they saw a tragic situation, Zhu Qing and the others took off their military hats one after another, looked at the charred corpses on the ground, and were silent.

After a while, Zhu Qing put on a brocade coat and hat, tied the hat rope tightly, and ordered in a low voice, "Act as planned!" ”

"Order!" The generals received the order and scattered on the island in groups to find the stronghold of the enemy on Penghu Island in an attempt to ambush Zheng's naval division.

Nearly an hour later, the Jinyi guards who were sent out came back one after another, and the news they brought back was that in addition to the strongholds of the outpost, the strongholds on the other coastlines were not to be worried, and some of them had been easily eliminated by the Jinyi guards.

"If the Zheng Junshui Division wants to pass through Penghu, the outpost stronghold will become the biggest obstacle, but the enemy has arranged nearly 1,000 troops to garrison the outpost, and it is not easy to get rid of the outpost stronghold!" One person replied.

"Unless, Zheng Jun's naval division does not pass through Penghu and makes a detour to Taiwan, so we don't have to spend time and effort to deal with the outpost, we can also leave Penghu as soon as possible, abandon the island and go to join Zheng Jiajun. It also saves a lot of energy......"

Before the other person's voice fell, he was glared at by Zhu Qing, "Resolutely!" Don't abandon the island and run away! Those who offend my China will be punished even if they are far away! Every inch of land counts! The invaders are greedy, if we give up an inch today, they will advance a foot tomorrow, and if this continues, won't Daming be in danger?! ”

Zhu Qing was filled with righteous indignation, and the soldiers had to bury their heads in the training, and the young man who knew that he had said the wrong thing took the initiative to stand up and ask for guilt.

However, the big war was imminent, and Zhu Qing was not punished. And the brother didn't intend to escape, but just wanted to save more strength to join the Zheng family's army.

If it was a general task, Zhu Qing might be able to agree, but now, in the face of foreign invasion, Zhu Qing can't back down, as soon as he retreats, more people will retreat!

"Say goodbye! Violators! Zhu Qing ordered sharply.

"Understood!" All the soldiers responded in unison, but because of the lesson that was exposed loudly just now, this time, they controlled it just right!

"Knowing that it can't be said is done, this is the creed of Jinyiwei! Tonight, we can only use one as ten, to fight against the thousand-man enemy army at the outpost, if we don't pull out the outpost stronghold, and as soon as the enemy's 'Hector' arrives, the strait will be firmly controlled by the Dutch, let alone attack Taiwan, even the self-protection of Zheng's naval division will be a problem! Can we let this happen? ”

"Can't!"

"Can we agree to the enemy's invasion of our land?"

"Can't!"

"Let's go!"

The morale was mobilized by Zhu Qing to a high realm, and more than 30 Jinyi guards, under the leadership of Zhu Qing, sneaked in the direction of the outpost like a wild wolf night attack, and a hunt and destruction quietly kicked off in the night.

After the Dutch army lost more than 100 defenders on the periphery, the assassination of Jinyiwei was finally exposed. A fierce battle began.

Fortunately, Zhu Qing did not blindly act brutally, he organized manpower, attacked the east and west, and attacked while swimming. Lure this group of enemies away, and then kill another group, in terms of secret attacks, Jinyiwei is naturally above the Dutch army, and Zhu Qing chose to do it when people are most likely to be sleepy, the Dutch army can't react for a while, and it was indeed played by Jinyiwei, and after fainting, it was solved by Jinyiwei Lisuo.

However, after the Dutch army came to their senses, Jinyiwei was still in a dangerous situation, and they were soon surrounded by the remaining hundreds of Dutch troops, and at this time, Jinyiwei also lost nearly half of its people, and only more than ten people were left to follow Zhu Qing to kill the main stronghold of the outpost.

The fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours, Zhu Qing used various means to drag the enemy's crazy attack, and when the east where the sea and the sky finally showed the white of the fish's belly, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the sky above the post suddenly became thick smoke, and then the fire rushed to the sky, and the blood-colored morning sun reflected each other.

Zhu Qing and the remaining five seriously wounded Jinyi guards fled to the beach.

"Woo ......" roared, and a large ship appeared in Taiwan and was found, that is, the Dutchman's giant main ship "Hector".

Just as Zhu Qing was looking at this ship that he had expected but was still surprised and stunned, a brocade guard patted Zhu Qing's shoulder excitedly, "General, look!" Zheng Junshui is here! ”

Zhu Qing looked back, and a long fleet appeared on the sea, sailing from Kinmen to Taiwan, they would pass through Penghu Island!
