When night fell, sitting by the brazier, Ma Degong said with a happy face: "General, then Zheng Koujun doesn't have that thing, and tomorrow I will definitely be able to conquer Tong'an." Congratulations to the general for his military exploits. “

Chen Tai waved his hand and said arrogantly: "A mere thief, it's not enough to worry about it!" When I capture Zheng Haikou alive and exterminate the Zheng family's army, I will report to the court for your merits. “

Ma Degong immediately nodded and said: "Thank you, general, at the end of tomorrow, I will definitely let my subordinates kill the enemy with all their hearts and break through Tong'an as soon as possible." “

Chen Jin looked at the two of them slowly, poured cold water and said: "Our army has suffered heavy casualties today, and at the end of the day, there are five or six thousand casualties, and now there are only more than 20,000 people who can fight. After beating Tong'an, I don't know how much more I will die. At that time, I am afraid that there will be no soldiers and horses to destroy Zheng Chenggong! ‘

When Chen Tai heard this, his proud expression suddenly crossed over, and the hand holding his beard tightened, breaking a few of them, and his face twitched in pain.

When Tong'an was attacked by the Qing army, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian in Xiamen also received a rescue letter sent by Zhang Jin.

Zheng Cai took the rescue book and said to Zheng Lian: "The Tartars are now attacking Tong'an County, and our army has an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with Zheng Chenggong, so you can lead the troops to support!" ”

Hearing that he was going to lead his troops to support Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Lian suddenly said irritably: "Tartar seized Tong'an, what does this have to do with us, besides, Zheng Chenggong is not in a hurry, what are we anxious about?" ”

Zheng Cai glared at Zheng Lian and said, "Although the Qing army has not yet hit us, we have allied with Zheng Chenggong to fight against the Qing army. If he was wiped out by the Qing army, how could we fight the Manchus alone? ”

Zheng Lian sneered and asked, "Big brother, Zheng Chenggong, this kid, has been developing rapidly recently, and now he has almost two hundred ships. Big brother, don't forget, it was because we were better than him that he was willing to cede so many benefits. That day he was strong, and when you said that time, would we still have our share of the huge protection fee? ”

Hearing Zheng Lian mention the protection fee, Zheng Cai's heart suddenly burst. "Then, are we just looking at it like this, and we don't support Tong'an!"

Zheng Lian said gloomily: "Yes, big brother, let's just watch it like this." Let Zheng Chenggong and Tartar eat dog eat each other's strength, only when the strength of Tartar and Zheng Chenggong is weakened, can we in Xiamen sit steadily. ”

When Zheng Cai heard the silence, he said to Zheng Lian: "Wait a minute, you go to see the soldier sent by Tong'an, and tell him that Xiamen is under threat from the Qing army and is unable to support Tong'an." ”

"Yes, big brother!"

……

On the third day, amid Chen Tai's roar, the Qing soldiers once again carried the ladder and rushed down the city.

After several waves of boiling oil dumped in Tong'an, it was also exhausted. Ye Yiyun was busy organizing Qingzhuang to pour gold juice.

Although the lethality of the golden juice is strong, it does not have the extension of boiling oil, and it is difficult to stop the continuous attack of the Qing soldiers.

Under the deterrence of the Qing army's supervision team, the Qing soldiers fought hard, resisted the gold juice and hard stones, and desperately killed the city wall, and soon Qing soldiers attacked the city.

Seeing that the Qing army was attacking the city, Zhang Jinhu roared and rushed forward with a big knife, and the other Zheng soldiers saw it and hurriedly followed and killed it.

The tragic battle for the head of the city has begun!

The Zheng family army and the Qing army at the head of the city were killed very fiercely, and the city of Tong'an was already full of blood, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Countless arrows and gravel were dropped from the city, and more were to be shot from below. Blood splattered, screamed incessantly, and the dead fell to the ground, but someone could take his place at any moment.

The battle lasted until the evening, when the Zheng army drove the Qing army off the city again.

On the fourth day, the Qing soldiers attacked the city again, and Ye Yiyun, the magistrate of the county who had originally organized the people to transport stones and gold juice, saw the Tartar army pouring into the city like a tide.

At this time, he couldn't take care of anything else, so he personally took the young man to greet him.

He swung his sword, and a man struck the Tartar army like a madman.

The soldiers of the Zheng army, who were sacrificing their lives and forgetting their lives at the head of the city and desperately blocking the Qing army, suddenly collapsed in morale, and the Qing army retreated step by step.

went to Zhixian to work hard, and this crazy momentum ignited the morale of the Zheng family.

Countless Zheng family soldiers escorted Ye Yiyun to fight their way out of the city, stopped the trend of Tartars entering the city, and drove them out of the city deeply.

Seeing that the Qing army had retreated from the city, Zhang Jin hurriedly asked the soldiers to block the city gate with stones and hardwood.

This time, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties under the city gate, and failed to break through the city gate.

Day 4. In order to break through Tong'an, Chen Tai, the general of Qingjingnan, exhausted all offensive means, piled up earth into a mountain, cast an arrow platform, and shot arrows into the city wall, so that Zheng Jiajun could not raise his head.

Use the sound of the east to attack the west, attack the southern city, and then concentrate the elite troops to attack the eastern city suddenly.

Dig tunnels, recruit surrender and persuade surrender...... And so on and so forth.

Zhang Jin responded to the battle calmly, and his plan to attack the east and west was seen through, and all the Qing troops who were digging tunnels were buried alive.

The Qing army's Tushan Arrow Tower was knocked down by a simple catapult.

As soon as the persuasion spoke, Zhang Jin asked someone to pull him out and beheaded, and the head is still hanging on the head of the city.

The siege lasted five or six days, but Tong'an was still in the hands of the Zheng family's army.

……

Zheng Chenggong returned to Tong'an with 2,000 rattan armor soldiers and 5,000 sword and shield soldiers on a battleship. There were unforeseen circumstances, and not long after the Zheng family sailor left the port, he ran into trouble.

At this time, it was a hot summer, and it was the time when the typhoon was in full swing, and the Zheng family fleet was caught up with a hurricane when it sailed to the Shishi sea area, and the rapid north wind was fierce, and the headwind made it difficult to sail the ship.

The hurricane ravaged the East China Sea, and soon the sky was covered with black clouds. It's daytime, but it's like night.

The sky flashed with lightning, thunder roared, and torrential rain poured like beads.

In the storm, the sea surface is like a tumbling dragon king, and the boiling water of the rolling waves is undulating.

The ship became vulnerable in the face of huge storms and storms.

The waves raised by the strong wind made the ship jolt violently, not to mention the ordinary infantry, even the sailors who had lived at sea for more than ten years were shaken by the waves at this time, feeling weak limbs, dizzy, and vomiting stomach.

Zheng Chenggong stood at the door of the cabin, holding the cable with both hands, looking at the cloudy canopy in the sky, the rapid rain hitting his body, his heart was extremely anxious.

Several sand boats were overturned by the waves and sank to the bottom of the sea in this torrential rain, losing hundreds of soldiers.

As a last resort, Zheng Chenggong could only order the ship to return to the shore and wait for the storm to pass.

At this time, the inside and outside of Tong'an City were stained red with blood, and the corpses were full of mountains, and dead bodies crawling with bed bugs could be seen everywhere.

It was hot, and it didn't take long for an unpleasant stench to come out, which could be smelled from miles away,

On the seventh day, it rained heavily for several days, and the Qing army braved the rain to attack the city, and the two sides were killed in the splashing of water.

The Zheng army finally drove the Qing soldiers out of Tong'an City at the cost of more than 1,000 casualties.
