Of course, Yang Yipeng's own character does not mean that he can accept Zhang Zhun. On the contrary, Yang Yipeng is a person who is dedicated to the country, and his thoughts of foolishness and loyalty are very serious. On Zhang Zhun's head, there is still the name of the anti-thief, and it is impossible for Yang Yipeng to accept Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun rashly stepped on the territory of Huai'an Mansion, and Yang Yipeng must have a reaction. In fact, Zhang Zhun didn't think that Yang Yipeng would welcome his arrival. Or, what did he do with so many troops?

Haizhou City, located in the northeast of Huai'an Province, is near today's Lianyungang. Haizhou City itself, there is no Cao Ding stationed, there are no soldiers, only one East China Sea. For such a thousand-household office, Zhang Zhun, who is strong and strong, naturally will not take it seriously. In fact, this Thousand Households should have been destroyed by the pirates.

"Lord Governor, Yang Zixuan reports!"

"Lord Governor, Wu Qingliang reports!"

"Lord Governor, Yang Hongwen reports!"

"Lord Governor, Yang Qianqiang reports!"

"Lord Governor, Xu Ziwen reports!"

"Lord Governor, Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu report!"

"Lord Governor, Fang He and Liu Dong report!"

……

In the second half of the night, all the officers of the Tiger Ben Army rushed to Fushan City from all over the country to report to Zhang Zhun. For Zhang Zhun's urgent summoning, all the officers did not dare to slack off. Everyone knows that Zhang Zhun's emergency transfer of troops on Chinese New Year's Eve is obviously a major incident, and it must be a major matter related to the life and death of the Tiger Army.

"This Sun Ronglu, Ling is late for him!"

“**！ I'll scrape him in the next life! ”

"It's too much!"

"Kill Sun Ronglu!"

Sure enough, when Zhang Zhun introduced the situation, all the officers couldn't help but scold. Sun Ronglu's group of pirates was defeated, and they actually went to Huai'an Mansion to spread wild! You are wild and wild, and you actually pretend to be the name of our Tiger Army, isn't this deliberately looking for death?

Pirates are pirates, even if they were appeased by the imperial court, they still did not change their pirate nature. Their fundamental purpose is to burn, kill and loot. In Fushan City, they could not meet such a goal, so they ran to the nearby Huai'an Mansion.

What annoyed them the most was not that Sun Ronglu burned, killed and looted, but that they fraudulently used the name of the Tiger Army! Isn't this obviously about throwing feces on Zhang Zhun's body? If you hadn't scraped this group of pirates, how could you have lost the hatred in your heart?

"Calm down, everyone."

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said softly.

The angry officer slowly quieted down.

"Our task is to surround Haizhou City and capture all the pirates inside as much as possible."

"Except for the First Concord and the Second Concord, all the other troops are dispatched!"

"Our actions must be fast, accurate, and ruthless."

Zhang Zhun said methodically.

His tone was actually very calm, and there were no emotional ups and downs, but every officer present could feel that Sun Ronglu and the pirates under his command were absolutely dead this time. In fact, there were only a few hundred pirates, but the Tiger Ben Army was dispatched with the whole army, leaving only two assistant guards. Dispatched almost 2,000 people to deal with pirates with only a few hundred people, and idiots can see that Zhang Zhun is absolutely angry this time. In fact, if such a thing can be tolerated, Zhang Zhun will not be Zhang Zhun.

"My plan is like this......"

Zhang Zhun glanced at all his subordinates and said slowly.

The most basic goal of the Tiger Army's attack this time was to wipe out Sun Ronglu and the other pirates. They dared to use such a way to frame Zhang Zhun, and of course Zhang Zhun didn't mind ruthlessly slashing Zheng Zhilong's army. He wants to expose the true face of Zheng Zhilong's pirate group to all the people. After thoroughly exposing the true colors of these people, let's see how the relationship between the imperial court and Zheng Zhilong will change!

Originally, when Xiong Wencan appeased Zheng Zhilong, there were many ministers in the court who were against it. They didn't believe that Zheng Zhilong would sincerely serve the imperial court. It's just that the imperial court has no way to deal with Zheng Zhilong, so it has to make this decision. In fact, there has never been a real trust between the imperial court and Zheng Zhilong's pirate group. Once this incident is exposed, the relationship between the imperial court and Zheng Zhilong's pirate group will definitely be even more wonderful.

What Zhang Zhun is most worried about is Zheng Zhilong's pirate group, which is desperate for the imperial court and constantly attacks him from the sea. Even if you rely on the advantage of the traverser, you can constantly fight back, which is always a huge trouble. He now wants Zheng Zhilong to think carefully about whether he should work so hard for the imperial court. The imperial court should also seriously consider whether the policy of appeasing Zheng Zhilong's pirate group is correct. Once the relationship between the two sides changes, Zheng Zhilong will have one more enemy behind him. From then on, he could no longer go all out against himself.

I believe that the pirates at this time would definitely not have imagined that Zhang Zhun would be dispatched on Chinese New Year's Eve. When they were enjoying themselves wildly in Haizhou City, what awaited them was the fate of destruction. If you really want it to perish, you must first make it crazy!

"Our offensive will be launched from the sea. Due to the wind, we had to sail at sea for about a day. ”

"I'm going to land directly on the east coast of Haizhou City after nightfall tomorrow."

"After landing, first control the port outside the city, and then attack the city."

Zhang Zhun continued to introduce the battle plan.

Haizhou City is bordered by the East China Sea and is an important trading port, with numerous wharves and ports, and the equipment and facilities are intact. The Tiger Army can land quickly at these docks and ports by boat. Considering that the pirates occupied Haizhou City, and it was the beginning of the first month, the vast majority of them should have enjoyed themselves in the city, and the pirates who stayed on the ship would definitely not exceed a hundred. In other words, it would be a no-brainer to eliminate these remaining pirates. Therefore, Zhang Zhun's first step plan is to quickly eliminate the pirates outside the city and control the pirate ship.

Manipulating a ship is not something that one or two people can accomplish, and the pirates in the harbor, even if the existing enemy ships arrive, cannot quickly gather sailors to sail the ship, so Zhang Zhun is not worried about the pirates escaping on the boat. As long as the pirates in the city are blocked, none of the pirate ships in the port will be able to escape. After capturing these pirate ships, the pirates in the city, of course, could not escape.

Can the pirates in the city come out?

Hehe!

There were only a few hundred pirates, and they were blocked by a tiger army three times their number, and unless they could fly, they would not want to come out of Haizhou City. Of course, if the Tiger Army deliberately let them out of the city, that would be an exception. After controlling the pirate ships in the harbor, the Tiger Army can attack the city.

So, the siege is the second step plan.

The gate of Haizhou City is far less solid than the gate of Nanjing City, and it can be directly blown open with explosives. As long as the city gate is blown open, the Tiger Ben army can swarm in. There should be no problem with the battle after entering the city. The pirates wanted to resist the attack of the Tiger Army, but it was impossible. The Lu Mi Gun they used was no match for the Tiger Ben Army at all.

In general, if there are no accidents, the battle to eliminate all the pirates in Haizhou City should not be difficult. With three times the absolute superiority of troops, it would be a big joke if he couldn't take down this group of pirates. The Tiger Ben Army dispatched so many troops, but it was not for pirates.

Sun Ronglu's strength is manifested on the water. Pirates and pirates, their roots are still at sea. Without the sea, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. When they left the water, they cut off their hands. While Sun Ronglu framed Zhang Zhun for blaming him, he unknowingly sent himself to the guillotine. Seriously, if he was on a pirate ship, it would not be easy for Zhang Zhun to catch him. However, when he went ashore, it was over.

The real big drama was after Zhang Zhun occupied Haizhou City.

What will be the reaction of the Ming army in Huai'an Mansion?

How will the Ming army in Shandong react?

How will Nanjing react?

How will Beijing react?

How will the rebel army in Henan react?

……

These are very complex issues.

This is the reason why Zhang Zhun wants to bring so many troops by his side.

Whatever you want, I'm going to do it! If you greet you with a smile, I will say hello to you. If you fight each other with swords, I will be with you on the tip of the needle. In short, since I have come to Haizhou City, I will not leave easily. What do you say, I'm also the governor of the Houjun Governor's Office, and I've been stationed here for a while, so there's no problem?

"My lord, our ships may be a little insufficient!"

Yang Guohua said worriedly.

"My lord, the only ships we have available to carry them are the five merchant ships of the Gu family, which can't carry so many people and supplies. All the men and supplies needed to be loaded, and more ships were needed. ”

Zhou Zhengyu also said worriedly.

"I know."

"I have already requisitioned the three big ships of the Shen family.

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

Due to the insufficient number of ships, Zhang Zhun asked Zhang Haibin to find Shen Lingfei to secondment the Shen family's fleet. Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu both breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Lingfei's three big ships have a large transportation volume, and with their joining, there is no problem for the time being. From Fushan City to Huai'an Mansion, even if the weather is completely headwindy, you can go back and forth. In other words, they only need to carry supplies that last for four days.

In fact, to be precise, it is enough to carry a four-day ammunition reserve. As for food or something, Huai'an Mansion has it. Comparatively speaking, Huai'an Mansion is much richer than Laizhou Prefecture. Food and the like are not a problem at all. After all, there are only 2,000 people in the Tiger Army, and the daily food consumption is not very large. Due to the sale of illicit salt, Huang Shilang and Guo Mingtai have corresponding networks in Huai'an Prefecture. With their assistance, Zhang Zhun should be able to master Haizhou City relatively quickly.

"This battle may be a little more dangerous than the last time I went to Jiangnan, everyone must be fully prepared for battle."

"Now, all the troops have three hours to make relevant preparations!"

"Carry at least five cardinal ammunition per person! Just in case! ”

"More ammunition, the Logistics Division will transport it to Haizhou City the day after tomorrow!"

"When it's time, we'll be out on time!"

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

All the officers showed eager expressions.

It seems that everyone has nothing to worry about this trip to Haizhou City. In fact, compared with the trip to Nanjing, this trip to Huai'an Mansion is more like fighting at home. From Fushan City to Huai'an Mansion, it only takes half a day if the wind and water are smooth!

"Is it clear to everyone?"

Zhang Zhun finally asked in a deep voice.

"Clear!"

All the officers replied loudly.

"Good!"

"Prepare for each!"

"Gather at the Partridge Bay Military Port!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand vigorously and let the officers disperse.

After the officers at all levels dispersed, all the systems of the Tiger Army immediately became operational.

At this time, the busiest people are naturally the people in the logistics department. Every time they crossed the sea, the Tiger Army had to carry a large amount of ammunition. Fortunately, all kinds of ammunition are all sealed, as long as they are carried one box at a time. From Fushan City to the Partridge Bay Military Port, there is a straight cement road, and wheelbarrows deliver ammunition to the Partridge Bay Military Port one by one, and then carry it onto the ship.

The Navy is ready to go out. In total, it was a large merchant ship, exactly one for each unit, and the remaining one was loaded with ammunition and supplies. Three Cangshan ships also followed, responsible for escorting. The performance of the Cangshan ship is not enough to drive in the open sea, and it is still possible to drive along the offshore to Huai'an Mansion.

At midnight, before dawn, Zhang Zhun led the troops out on time. At noon, they arrived at the former station of Xiahe Village, where they received the soldiers of the Seventh Association on board, and then continued to Huai'an Mansion.

Since the wind direction is not very good, it is estimated that it will take a day to get from Mawan to Haizhou City. If there were no accidents, the time when they landed in Haizhou City was around midnight in the evening. There is the cover of night, which is just right for the battle, and the landing will not alarm too many pirates.

As the ship slowly moved westward, it gradually darkened, and soon it was dark. In order to maintain the suddenness, each ship was light-controlled, and each warrior waited quietly in the dark for the moment of landing. After sailing in the dark for about two hours, Haizhou City was finally in sight.

The city of Haizhou in the Ming Dynasty was different from today. At that time, Lianyungang City had not yet been formed, and it was still a sea. To the east of Haizhou City, there is a huge island called Yuzhou Mountain. Later, the Yellow River was often diverted, and a large amount of sediment was deposited from here, connecting Yuzhou Mountain with the land, and only then did today's Lianyungang area exist.

The fleet of the Tiger Ben Army, after bypassing Yuzhou Mountain, is Haizhou City.

Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror and carefully looked at Haizhou City. Inside Haizhou City, there is no fire. On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, it should have been brightly lit, and the people should have sang and danced in the firelight. If you can't see the fire, it means that there is no one inside, or the fire is controlled. There are no people in the city, and even less so outside the city.

Sure enough, there was a pirate ship docked in the harbor. In the dark, it is not easy for ships to dock. Fortunately, the pirate ships in the harbor are lit by lanterns on the side of the ship. Under the reflection of the lanterns, the big ship of the Tiger Ben Army slowly sailed over and slowly approached the port, but there was no accident. When those pirates saw the arrival of foreign merchant ships, they first looked very surprised, probably wanting to come up and rob, and then they were stunned.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out incessantly.

This is the sniper of the Tiger Army shooting.

By the light of the lanterns, they did not hesitate to shoot all the pirates they could see.

Zhang Zhun's order was very simple, all the pirates outside were killed, and no one was left.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Under the fire of the snipers, the pirates fell one after another.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

More pirates fell straight from the side of the ship into the water.

Because most of the pirates at the beginning of the new year are at ease in the city, and those who are on duty outside are the unlucky ghosts in the pirates. They were cursing and cursing their companions, where did they think that the Tiger Army would actually kill at this time? Naturally, he was caught off guard. In such a situation, the only thing they could do was to flee into the city. Sail? Hehe, how can one or several people drive a boat?

"Up!"

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

Lu Liangyu shouted vigorously, asking his soldiers to jump off the boat quickly.

They are a newly formed unit, and in such a battle, they must seize the opportunity in order to make a name for themselves. The army has just been formed, and they have encountered such a big battle, and they may not be able to let go of a good opportunity to make a name for themselves!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The soldiers of the fourth detachment of the Marine Corps, without waiting for the gangplank to be lowered, jumped directly onto the trestle, and then rushed towards Haizhou City in front. The gunshots have already sounded, and the pirates in the city must be alert. All they had to do was to quickly surround the gates of the city.

"Up!"

"Hurry up!"

"Keep it up!"

"Hurry up!"

The other Tiger Ben soldiers also jumped out of the boat and rushed towards Haizhou City.

Soon, at least 300 Tiger Ben soldiers came ashore. Then, a series of gunshots were heard, apparently engaging the pirates. The sound of gunfire from the port, of course, alarmed the pirates in the city, and they hurriedly sent people out to check what was going on. As a result, the two sides were near the east gate, and a fierce battle broke out.

As more and more Tiger soldiers came ashore, the gunfire became weaker and weaker, and finally it became very deserted. The pirates who were supposed to be trying to break out of the city were all eliminated. The Tiger Ben Army came prepared, and the pirates responded in a hurry, and the results of the battle were naturally predictable.

At the same time, some of the Tiger Army warriors were on the docks, inspecting each of the pirate ships. As long as the existing pirates are hiding, they will be killed with one shot. Since there were not many pirates left, they were all cleared out soon. For the arrival of the Tiger Army, these pirates were obviously dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Zhang Zhun would appear here.

"My lord! We are now a group of officials of the imperial court! ”

Suddenly, Zhu Chengtai came to report to Zhang Zhun.

"An officer of the Ming Army?"

Zhang Zhun asked curiously.

How could there be a group of court officials on the pirate ship?

"I'll take a look!"

Zhang Zhun followed behind Lu Liangyu and came to the largest pirate ship.

Sure enough, in the cabin, more than a dozen big court officials were imprisoned. Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, most of them were very frightened.

Zhang Zhun glanced at these people, and suddenly frowned quietly. It turned out that among these court officials, Zhang Zhun had a familiar figure, it was Shi Kefa!
