Chapter 961: Zheng Chenggong Thought Wrong Again......

（0961）

[Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

"Boom!"

Another loud bang came,.

The Tiger Ben Army has long been perfect in the technology of blasting the city gates. These gates of Nanjing City, although they are much stronger than those in other places, are difficult to break open, but under the bombardment of hundreds of catties, they are only broken.

Blasting two city gates in a row, the morale of the Tiger Ben army soared, and the speed of the attack became more ferocious. Before the smoke cleared, they had already crawled in from the ruins and launched an attack on the city of Nanjing. The blacks who were blown to pieces did not react at all, and were stabbed to death with bayonets.

Originally, the Suzaku Legion of the Tiger Army Army was holding back its anger. is also the legion-level establishment of the Tiger Army, and they seem to be the last one in the ranking. The tradition of the Tiger Army has always been that they are ranked by their military merits. If you do a good job, you will be at the top. Your achievements are bleak, and you will always be at the bottom of the rankings.

In Liaodong, the Qinglong Legion made great achievements, successively conquered Yizhou Wei, Guangning City, Liaoyang City and other places, completely defeated the Tartars, and completely recovered the Liaodong region. This achievement is almost unprecedented, and no one else can match it for the time being. Therefore, the Blue Dragon Legion ranks the leader, which is worthy of its name.

In Zhuozhou, the White Tiger Legion is eyeing the Jingshi, and when the time comes, it will launch an attack on the Jingshi. As long as you conquer the Jingshi and control the Forbidden City, this achievement is also quite rich. Ranked second, there is basically no suspense.

In the Nanyang area, the Xuanwu Legion was also sharpening its knives and preparing to attack in the direction of Xiangyang. As long as Xiangyang is conquered, it is equivalent to controlling most of the south of the Yangtze River. Xiangyang is the western gateway to the south of the Yangtze River and the commanding height of the Huguang area. After conquering Xiangyang, the Huben army could go down the Han River and attack the Huguang area. At the same time, the door to Shuzhong was also opened. This feat, if it is managed well, can even overwhelm the White Tiger Legion and become the second of the four major legions.

Only the Vermilion Bird Legion in Yangzhou does not seem to have any weighty achievements. After all, the Jiangnan region is so big, and there are not many opponents with weight. In the Jiangnan area, some of them are armed with some powerful landlords. Without a weighty opponent, it is impossible to build up merit. For the Tiger Army, which attaches great importance to combat exploits, this is indeed not a good thing. If there are no variables, the Suzaku Legion will only be at the bottom of the list forever.

Fortunately, when he was depressed, Zheng Chenggong came.

Zheng Chenggong's arrival is simply too timely. This kid is more or less an important figure, much heavier than Liu Zongzhou, a nerd in Nanjing City. The Vermilion Bird Legion defeated Zheng Chenggong in Nanjing City, which is more or less a little military achievement, and it will not be a blank slate. If it was the Ming army stationed in Nanjing City, I was afraid that the battle exploits would be on Zhang Zhun's side, and it would not be worth mentioning at all.

Far away......

The Zhongfu Gate was opened, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army came in like a tide, and soon occupied Yifengmen and other places. Near Yifeng Gate is Swallow Mountain, the commanding height in the north of Nanjing City. On the top of Swallow Mountain, there is a fort set up by the Ming army, and there are more than 50 artillery pieces of various colors. However, these batteries, because of their disrepair, are no longer in the number of artillery pieces that can be used.

After Zheng Jiajun's black musket team seized the city of Nanjing, they tried to use the forts of Yanzi Mountain to block the Tiger Ben army from approaching the city of Nanjing. It's a pity that the range of the artillery on the Swallow Mountain Fort is not as good as the field artillery of the Tiger Army. As a result, it was bombarded indiscriminately by the field artillery of the Tiger Ben Army, and all the artillery of the Yanzishan Fort was dumb.

Now, the Swallow Mountain Fort has been controlled by the Tiger Ben Army. The cannons above are completely useless. The hundreds of black musketeers stationed at the fort were surrounded and beaten by the Tiger Army, and they were all cleaned up quickly. The scene was a mess and littered with the corpses of black people.

Subsequently, the Jinchuan Gate was opened again. Jinchuan Gate is one of the real nine gates of Nanjing City. Entering from the Jinchuan Gate, it is a straight street, which extends to the direction of the bell tower and the drum tower. Continuing forward, it is the former Ming Imperial Palace, also known as the Forbidden City.

By this time, the northern defense line of the entire Nanjing City was already fragmented, and there were loopholes everywhere. With the 5,000 men of the black musketeers, it was simply impossible to defend such a vast city of Nanjing. In fact, by this time, the remaining black musket team was also a little irresistible. Even if it's a one-on-one heads-up, they are no match for the Tiger Ben Army at all.

When I was in Fujian, relying on the muskets in my hands, the black musket team of the Zheng Jiajun could also bully the local Ming army, but it was a little troublesome to encounter such a murderous unit as the Tiger Army. The Tiger Ben Army is not even afraid of the Tartars, and they are still afraid of these blacks?

As a last resort, the black musket team had no choice but to retreat in the direction of the bell tower and drum tower. After retreating here, they found that it was still not safe, so they continued to retreat in the direction of the imperial city. The remaining sailors of the Zheng family's fleet had no choice but to retreat. As a result, the retreat quickly turned into a rout, and everyone rushed to the front.

The black musketeers fought and retreated, and the Tigers were in hot pursuit. The Tiger Ben army that came in from Dinghuai Gate also surrounded and intercepted the enemy from the west. There were even Tiger Ben army troops, bypassing Xuanwu Lake and entering from the Taiping Gate, trying to divide the city of Nanjing into two halves. The fighting between the two sides continued, and the gunfire never stopped.

Soon after the Jinchuan Gate was opened, the corps commander Yin Fengyi hurriedly entered the city with a few guards. Along the way, there were killed and wounded blacks, and occasionally, a few wounded Tiger soldiers. There is no suspense in the battle, just the length of time.

The corpses of the black people lying on the ground aroused the curiosity of many Tiger Ben soldiers. They all feel very strange, in this world, how can there still be people whose skin is all black? It looks like a piece of coal! It's shiny dark!

"Legionnaire, who are they?"

An officer asked Deputy Commander Wu Jiasheng curiously.

"It's supposed to be a black man from Africa."

Wu Jiasheng frowned and said.

Regarding the black musket team of the Zheng Jiajun, Zhang Zhun once mentioned that the senior officers of the Tiger Army basically knew about it. They also know where these black people come from. Therefore, when they saw these black people, they did not feel surprised or curious.

Because of Zhang Zhun's relationship, the senior officers of the Tiger Ben Army can be said to be a group of people who have the best understanding of the world. Not only did they know that the place where they lived was a round planet called the Earth. They also know that there are seven continents and four oceans on the earth, and they also know their specific location.

These blacks should be from far away Africa. They were probably trafficked to East Asia by Western powers and became so-called black slaves. Most of the black slaves were said to have been sold to the American continent, and only a small number arrived in Asia. Zheng Zhilong's land force is mainly this musket team composed of black slaves.

In other words, as long as the Tiger Ben Army found a way to eliminate these blacks, Zheng Zhilong's land power would be basically disintegrated. In the future, the Tiger Ben Army marched to Fujian, which would reduce a lot of pressure. Without the support of the black musket team, Zheng Zhilong would be too late even if he organized the team temporarily. Probably, this is also a small battle feat that the Suzaku Legion can strive for.

"Order the troops, move quickly!"

"We must wipe out all these black people!"

Yin Fengyi ordered with a cold face.

……

Near the Forbidden City, Zheng Chenggong sat on the steps with a depressed face, a little dazed, not knowing what to do. At sea, it can't beat the Tiger Navy. On the way, he couldn't beat the Tiger Army. It's just so depressing. Running from the sea to the land, I thought I could escape, but I didn't expect that the Tiger Army would be killed so quickly. This is simply not giving him Zheng Chenggong's way out!

What's even more depressing is that he not only buried all the warships of the Zheng family's Fifth Fleet, but also buried all the Zheng family's musket team here. This trip to Nanjing City is not so much to attack the Tiger Army, but to find death by yourself and throw yourself into the net. There really couldn't be a more failed operation.

At his side were several high-ranking officers of the musket corps. Their faces are also not good. I really didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army was so strong. Their black musket team, after a few contacts with the Tiger Army, was all dispersed. Originally, they thought that with the strength of the black musket team, they could compete with the Tiger Army.

Obviously, the city of Nanjing could not be defended. The only option now is a quick retreat. Judging from the sound of gunfire, the Tiger Ben Army has already occupied the first line of the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, and it is only half an hour away from the Imperial City. If you don't leave at this time, it's too late. The speed of the Tiger Army's attack was so fast that it was chilling.

By Zheng Chenggong's side, there is another important person, that is, Zheng Shouyuan, who is responsible for assisting him. Zheng Jiajun continued to eat deflated and lost battles continuously, so that Zheng Shouyuan's hair was almost all white. Faced with such a predicament, he has no good solution. The Tiger Army is too strong. In the face of such a powerful enemy, no kind of strategy and strategy have a chance to be used.

Thirty-six plans, go for the top plan, the only plan for today, only to run.

"The ...... of the Eldest Prince"

Zheng Shouyuan said bitterly.

"Withdraw!"

Zheng Chenggong said helplessly.

The remnants of Zheng's army immediately withdrew from the city of Nanjing. After coming out of Nanjing City, everyone spread their feet one after another and fled desperately in the direction of Fujian. If there is any place on land that makes the remnants of the Zheng family army feel safe, there may be only one place in Fujian. Nowhere else, there's no sense of security.

"Chase!"

Wu Jiasheng shouted loudly.

Zheng Chenggong wants to run? How can it be that easy? If Zheng Chenggong is not killed, this operation of the Vermilion Bird Legion will not be considered a battle achievement at all. If Zheng Chenggong escaped, they would not even be embarrassed to report to Zhang Zhun. Therefore, no matter how fast Zheng Chenggong runs, he must be caught!

"Hurry up, don't look like an old lady!"

Wu Jiasheng called on the propagandists of the army to constantly shout various slogans to encourage everyone to speed up. At the same time, Wu Jiasheng also asked all troops to be lightly armed as much as possible, and all other things were temporarily unloaded except for weapons, food, and clean water.

The remnants of the Zheng family's army fled desperately in front. Behind, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were in hot pursuit. Some of the remnants of the Zheng family army were chased so fiercely that they couldn't run, so they just knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. There were also people who ran and fell, and before they had a chance to get up, they were caught by the tiger army that caught up.

What does it mean to be defeated?

Here it is.

The remnants of the Zheng family army were driven by the Tiger Ben army and ran all over the mountain. In order to escape for their lives, they panicked, and there were people who ran in any direction. The original collapse of the large group turned into stragglers. The number of people who follow Zheng Chenggong's side is constantly decreasing. Later, except for twenty or thirty cronies, everyone else was gone.

After running for two days in a row, Zheng Chenggong and the others were exhausted. He felt that if he continued to run, he might not be able to catch it in one breath, and he would fall to the ground. But they didn't dare to stop and rest. Because, the later Tiger Ben Army is still chasing after it. The distance between the two sides is only two or three hours. If they stopped, they would definitely be caught by the Tiger Army.

"!"

"Can't you run slower?"

Zheng Chenggong's heart is really depressed, not to mention how depressed he is.

The pursuers of the Tiger Ben Army were indeed chasing too fiercely. Zheng Chenggong had never seen such a fierce army. The running ability of those black slaves is excellent, but compared to the Tiger Army, it is still too far behind. No wonder, even the Tartars have to be planted in the hands of the Tiger Ben Army. These tiger soldiers are simply not human!

He didn't know at all that Yin Fengyi's original unit was the Minzi Battalion. The core and main force of the Suzaku Legion is also the Minzi Battalion. The Minzi battalion, as the name suggests, knows that this is a fast running army. In fact, when attacking Andongwei, the Minzi battalion gave full play to its scud characteristics, which left a deep impression on Zhang Zhun.

When the four major legions were formed, Zhang Zhun deliberately left the name Suzaku to the Minzi battalion. What is Suzaku? Phoenix! The phoenix soared into the sky, and the speed still needs to be said? After the formation of the Vermilion Bird Legion, it still retains the characteristics of Scuds, and whether it can fight or not is not said for the time being, the ability of these two legs to run is definitely ranked first among the four major legions.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion chased the broken Zheng family army into a painful situation. It was really an enemy who couldn't run, so he had to find a place to hide everywhere. The coffin holes on the side of the road, the pits of the dead, or whatever, as long as they can be avoided, are desperate to get into them. Someone simply raised their hands in surrender. Even, some people would rather give themselves a good time than continue to run for their lives.

Especially those black people, there is simply no possibility of hiding. Their skin color is obviously different from that of the Ming people. Once discovered, it is immediately the fate of being captured alive. Well, for the blacks, Zhang Zhun's order was to capture as many people as possible if they could be captured alive. These black slaves are still working well. On Sado Island, a lot of labor is needed!

It was difficult to escape all the way from Nanjing, and when he fled to Lishui, Zheng Chenggong could no longer run. He's been running for three days and three nights in a row. Without a war horse, he couldn't breathe. The worst thing is that he and Zheng Shouyuan are lost. After all, Zheng Shouyuan is old and can't keep up with the pace of young people. Not long after Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Shouyuan were separated, they heard a chaotic burst of gunfire from behind, and it was estimated that Zheng Shouyuan's life was in danger.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong should be glad that the Vermilion Bird Legion was not equipped with cavalry, otherwise, he would have been caught a long time ago. In the Jiangnan region, the water network is crisscrossed, and it is difficult for cavalry to play a role here, so the Suzaku Legion is the only legion that does not have cavalry to cooperate in combat. However, the equipment of the troops has been specially strengthened, which is conducive to fighting in the water towns south of the Yangtze River. For example, everyone is equipped with special equipment such as hats, raincoats, water shoes, etc.

"!"

"No matter!"

"I want to take a break!"

Zheng Chenggong ran and ran, and suddenly his legs went weak, and he was paralyzed on the ground, unable to move anymore.

Running from Nanjing City to the present, there is no rest in the middle, which is simply too cruel for the eldest son of the Zheng family. If it weren't for the fact that he had to take out the strength to eat milk in order to save his life, Zheng Chenggong would definitely not be able to run so far.

The people around Zheng Chenggong are all exhausted. Zheng Chenggong was paralyzed, and they were also paralyzed. Some people may be too tired, and after being paralyzed, they suddenly have spasms all over their bodies, followed by foaming at the mouth, and then fall unconscious. The people around him, including Zheng Chenggong, are used to such a phenomenon, and no one pays much attention to it.

When he ran away, Zheng Chenggong's preparation was very inadequate, and he didn't carry any food and water at all. Along the way, he ate whatever he found and drank whatever water he saw. Yellow muddy water and the like, he has drunk countless times. Now, next to the place where he was paralyzed, there happened to be a nest of still clear water, and he hurriedly lowered his head and drank greedily.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Suddenly, from the north, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Such footsteps are a nightmare for Zheng Chenggong. Because, this means that the pursuers of the Tiger Ben Army are approaching again. If you are caught by the Tiger Army, the idiot knows that nothing good is good. There was no way, Zheng Chenggong had to work hard to get himself up, and then continue to run for his life.

However, no matter how hard Zheng Chenggong tried, he could no longer stand up. His consciousness, directing his limbs, allowed himself to stand up. However, his limbs did not obey his commands at all. It was as if he had completely lost sensation in his legs.

The people around Zheng Chenggong struggled to get up and continued to flee to the south. For Zheng Chenggong, who was paralyzed on the ground, no one looked at it at all. The trees fell and scattered, to such a point, no one cared who Zheng Chenggong was anymore.

"It's over......"

Zheng Chenggong sighed helplessly.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

Suddenly, there was a roar in my ears.

Zheng Chenggong was taken aback, and subconsciously looked up, and saw a group of Tiger Ben Army soldiers, surrounding him. These Tiger Army soldiers were also panting and sweating profusely, and some of them were still pale. However, they can still stand firm, and after all, they can still aim at the target with muskets. That's the gap.

Such a gap may not seem obvious, but it takes years of training to achieve it. Relying only on two legs, running all the way from Nanjing City to Lishui, and still being able to continue fighting, except for the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion, no one else can do it.

Facing the muzzle of the black hole, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly raised his hands and shouted loudly: "I am Zheng Chenggong, I ask to see Zhang Zhun!" I ask to see your Governor! ”

The officer of the Tiger Ben Army, who took the lead, ordered someone to come up, searched Zheng Chenggong's body thoroughly, took all the items on his body, and then tied his hands and escorted him back. Soon after, they met Yin Fengyi, the commander of the army who was heading south.

Yin Fengyi looked Zheng Chenggong up and down for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Are you Zheng Chenggong?" ”

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said: "I am the eldest son of the Zheng family, and I ask to meet with your Governor." ”

Yin Fengyi said with a gloomy face: "You want to meet with our Lord Dudu?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said expectantly: "Exactly." ”

Yin Fengyi sneered and said categorically: "I'm sorry! The Governor doesn't have time to see you! ”

Without waiting for Zheng Chenggong to speak, he waved his hand and said awe-inspiringly: "Pull aside!" Killed! ”

The order given to him by Zhang Zhun can be dealt with on the spot after Zheng Chenggong is caught. Yin Fengyi's understanding is very simple, the so-called on-site treatment is to clean up on the spot. Since Zhang Zhun has such a meaning, he executes it without thinking.

Why did Zhang Zhun give such an order, Yin Fengyi didn't bother to speculate. However, those who are interested can still speculate on some. Zheng Chenggong is too young and has not suffered any blows, and his revenge will definitely be very strong. Such people are too dangerous to keep and must be eliminated.

Hearing Yin Fengyi's order, Zheng Chenggong was immediately shocked and hurriedly shouted: "You! You can't kill me! I am the eldest son of the Zheng family, and I ask to negotiate with you! ”

The other party actually wanted to shoot him, which was indeed unexpected by Zheng Chenggong. He originally imagined that as long as he was not killed by indiscriminate shooting on the battlefield, if he fell into Zhang Zhun's hands, at most he would become a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Zheng family's fleet, and there would definitely be no problem with his life. However, the cruel reality in front of him is that the Tiger Benjun can't help but say that he wants to take his life!

No matter how Zheng Chenggong roared, Yin Fengyi was unmoved. He waved his hand coldly, signaling to carry out the order. Two Tiger Army soldiers pushed Zheng Chenggong to the ground, and one Tiger Army soldier put the musket against the back of his heart, and then pulled the trigger with an expressionless face.

"Bang!"

A dull gunshot rang out.

Zheng Chenggong felt as if something was broken in front of him, followed by pitch black, and he didn't know anything. The two Tiger Ben soldiers let go of their hands, and Zheng Chenggong fell into the grass, motionless.

Yin Fengyi sneered, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”

The large force of the Tiger Ben Army continued to advance in the direction of Hangzhou.
