Hao Shangjiu led the remaining hundred cavalry to quickly catch up with Shi Lang and the others. It's just that Hao Shangjiu didn't have many soldiers and horses of his own, so he didn't take the initiative to attack, but just followed from a distance.

When they arrived in Raoping County, Hao Shangjiu immediately went to Raoping City and dispatched 200 cavalry and 2,500 soldiers, and then hurriedly chased Shi Lang and his group, and finally intercepted them in Huanggang Town.

The enemy was very red when they met, and without saying a word, Hao Shangjiu took the Qing soldiers to kill Shi Lang and his group.

Shi Lang and others had previously created an opportunity to escape into the woods in order to entangle Hao Shangjiu's cavalry, and sent all the cavalry out to entangle with the Qing cavalry and die.

Now there is not even a cavalry spy.

Shi Lang and his group, who were similar to "deaf and blind", waited for Hao Shangjiu to lead the army to kill him, and then found their figures. At this time, Shi Lang and the others simply did not have time to gather soldiers to form a chariot formation.

The nearly 300 cavalry led by Hao Shangjiu personally charged and instantly slaughtered Shi Lang's formation.

Later, more than 2,000 Qing infantry who followed took advantage of the situation to attack, and Shi Lang and his group, who had fallen into chaos, were even more defeated.

The disgruntled soldier threw off the carriage and fled for his life.

Shi Lang's younger brothers Zhaolian and Zhaoxu were cut down to the ground in the first wave of the Qing cavalry's attack, Shi Lang watched them screaming and being cut in half like vegetables and melons by Hao Shangjiu's Qing soldiers, but there was nothing he could do, and a deep sense of despair surged into his heart.

Shi Lang listened to their screams before they died, and burst into tears, this kind of destruction was inevitable.

Shi Lang closed his eyes, waiting for the moment when his head would be cut off and used as a reward.

After conquering the South Australian Five Tigers, Zheng Chenggong returned to Zhao'an County with the captured war weapons, in order not to reproduce the difficult situation of insufficient money and food, Zheng Chenggong announced to the villages that they would be under their own jurisdiction in the future, and their taxes would be collected by themselves.

After Zheng Chenggong appointed several squires as his officials in these lands, he set out with a large army towards Raoping County.

Soon after entering Guangdong Province, Zheng Chenggong faintly heard the sound of fighting in the distance, and soon several spies rode back and shouted: "General, there is a Qing army chasing another group of Qing soldiers in the nine miles ahead, and the person who is being chased and killed is a little familiar." It's just that I can't remember where I've seen it for a while! ”

The Qing army chased and killed another group of Qing soldiers, and the one who was hunted down was still familiar!

Zheng Chenggong pondered for a while, and shouted to the soldiers around him, "Quickly assemble the army to meet the battle!" “

Zheng Chenggong led the army to hurriedly advance towards the sound of fighting, and when he arrived at the battlefield, it was the time when Shi Lang and his gang charged and killed the Qing infantry.

Adhering to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Zheng Chenggong was not polite, and led the army to kill him.

At this time, Hao Shangjiu was leading the cavalry to chase and kill Shi Lang's defeated deserters, and just as he was killing well, a ranger hurriedly ran over and shouted, "General, the enemy's reinforcements are coming, there are probably more than one or two thousand people, and they are almost there." “

When Hao Shangjiu heard this, he scolded, "What! Damn, count their fate and live a little longer. Gather Mingjin, go and crush those reinforcements, and kill these bastards again! ”

"Yes!"

When Hao Shangjiu gathered the scattered soldiers and horses, Zheng Chenggong was the first to strike, shouting, "The enemy army in front of the target, artillery preparation, fight!" “

The twelve-door nine-pound Furlong machine ran to fire first, and it doesn't matter if the accuracy is not high, then use the number to remedy it. The two or three shells that hit still blew up Hao Shangjiu's cavalry, which was four or five miles away, and dozens of people were killed and wounded on the spot. Some of the horses were so frightened that they flipped the cavalry to the ground and fled the battlefield.

Seeing that the enemy's rescue force even brought artillery, Hao Shangjiu shouted angrily, "Quick, the whole army rushes forward, take advantage of them to change ammunition, kill me!" ”

Hao Shangjiu took the lead and led the cavalry to rush towards the Zheng family's army.

Seeing that the other party was about to rush to his death without knowing whether he was alive or dead, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly shouted, "Leave those cavalry alone, give me a hard shot at the enemy's infantry!" ”

The fixed target hit rate is not high, let alone those galloping cavalry, Zheng Chenggong was not stupid enough to waste ammunition on the small number of cavalry, but aimed at those infantry who were moving slowly.

Another volley, this time with a better effect than the last one, instantly took the lives of hundreds of Qing infantry.

Hao Shangjiu bit the roots of his teeth with hatred, and he roared angrily, "Don't be afraid, the enemy is right in front of you, kill it!" ”

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was about to be killed, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly shouted, "The artillery battalion retreats, archers, prepare, release!" ”

The black clouds formed by hundreds of arrows drew a poignant arc in the sky, whistling sharply, and fell towards the Qing cavalry.

The Qing army, which had nowhere to hide, could only twist their bodies in a limited space, trying to avoid vital parts, and even some skilled horsemen used their war horses as a barrier, hid in stirrups, and hung them under the war horses.

In this way, under the two rounds of arrow rain of Zheng Jiajun's attack, the Qing army still lost no less than 200 people.

Hao Shangjiu was shot in the right arm and fell to the ground during the final round of arrows. He was fortunate not to be trampled to death by the horse's hooves, but when he struggled to get up from the ground, he watched the cavalry he led fall with his own eyes.

The nightmare of the Qing cavalry was not over, Zheng Jiajun's artillery opened fire again, and with a bang, the flowering shells from the tiger squat cannon and the three-pound Furang machine gun exploded in the Qing cavalry, and the shrapnel and steel balls in the shells shot towards the Qing soldiers in an instant.

The eyes of the Qing cavalry all shot a look of despair, and many people couldn't help but want to reach out to block those deadly fragments and steel balls.

But the high-speed fragments and steel balls from the explosion of gunpowder mercilessly passed through their hands, cutting off a part of their bodies or piercing a hole, and the round of artillery instantly erased the hundreds of names on the Qing army's roster.

Blood splashed, corpses rolled, war horses trampled, a blur of flesh and blood in front of the Zheng family's army, a strong smell of blood rose to the sky, and the sun in the sky couldn't bear to witness this tragedy, and hid in a thick cloud.

Hao Shangjiu looked at the miserable scene in front of him and couldn't believe it. When did Ming Gou become so powerful, and in the blink of an eye, nearly three hundred cavalry were gone.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you!

"Gunpowder on the artillery battalion, vine armor soldiers forward, kill!" Zheng Chenggong shouted loudly.

"Above, brothers, kill!" Under the cheers of their respective guard commanders, hundreds of households, and squad leaders, more than 1,800 rattan armor soldiers clenched their axes and scattered their steps towards the Qing infantry.

The Qing infantry, who had been baptized by heavy artillery all the way, saw that their cavalry had been wiped out at this time, and the Zheng family army attacked again, and immediately turned around and fled like crazy.

Many Qing soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted surrender.

The vine armor soldiers continued to chase and kill the fleeing Qing soldiers, while the soldiers of the sailor division stayed behind to watch over the surrendered Qing soldiers and clean up the battlefield.

When Zheng Chenggong questioned those Qing prisoners, Yang Cai brought Shi Lang and others, who were lucky enough to escape, to Zheng Chenggong.

As soon as he saw Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang gritted his teeth and shouted on the spot, "Why is it too late!" ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he immediately disliked it. Who is this kid, he was angry at me as soon as they met, my brother owes you money, and he still fell in love with your mother!

Hearing Shi Lang's tone of accountability, Yang Cai and Lin Xishan immediately shouted, "Bold, who are you to dare to talk to the general like this!" ”

Seeing that Shi Lang's two hundred and five had just come, it angered Zheng Chenggong, and Huang Ting couldn't wait to kick Shi Lang to death.

He hurriedly walked up and said, "I want to meet the eldest prince, this person is Shi Lang, the nephew of Shi Fu, the old general of the Taishi. Shi Lang's younger brother was killed by the Qing soldiers just now, and he offended the eldest prince on impulse, and asked the eldest prince to forgive him! Shi Lang didn't hurry up and apologize to the eldest prince! ”

Although Shi Lang is unruly, he is lonely and self-appreciative.

But Shi Lang is not a fool, he knows that he will follow Zheng Chenggong in the future, so he doesn't want to have a stalemate with Zheng Chenggong over this, but he has always had no good impression of Zheng Chenggong, and he will only ask if he is too late.

Therefore, Shi Lang just casually hugged his fists and said, "The Marquis is in a bad mood, and he has offended a lot, please forgive me!" ”

Then he stood aside with a stinky face and said no more.

Hearing that the person in front of him was actually Shi Lang, Zheng Chenggong suddenly opened his eyes and looked at this young man with a stinky face, who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Among the several famous figures in the late Ming Dynasty that Zheng Chenggong knew, Shi Lang was one of them.

And most importantly, this guy is one of the culprits who led to the downfall of the Great Yuan Zheng regime.

Now this guy naturally dares to send him to the door, okay, just take this opportunity to kill him, and our Zheng family will have one less big enemy in the future.

Zheng Chenggong's eyes flashed with a cold light.

But when Zheng Chenggong raised his head, he saw Huang Ting and Cheng Sheng looking at him anxiously.

Zheng Chenggong was taken aback, if Shi Lang was killed now, he would be happy, but what would they think of themselves, and what would the world think of themselves.

I'm afraid that I will immediately be narrow-minded, and the reputation of not being able to tolerate people will be able to spread all over Kyushu under the impetus of people with a heart.

Who would dare to come to themselves again after that day?

You can't lose a big one because of a small loss, at least you can't kill Shi Lang now, if you have a chance in the future......

Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong immediately changed his smile and said: "Ming Yan has also suffered from the misfortune of his relatives, so he can naturally understand General Shi's current mood, and he won't care!" ”

Huang Ting saw Zheng Chenggong's smiling face, and his heart was finally steady. Busy said, "I have heard the name of the eldest prince for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

"Uncle Huang praised it falsely, by the way, Uncle Huang, why did General Shi blame Ming Yan for being late, and was there any misunderstanding in the middle?"

choked people for no reason, Zheng Chenggong felt a little unhappy, so he wanted to ask for an understanding.

Huang Ting was a little surprised, "Didn't the eldest prince receive our messenger, didn't he come to answer us this time?" ”

"The Messenger! I've been leading the troops before, and I'm afraid I'll miss it with the messenger. This time I went to Raoping thinking that I could conquer Raoping, but I didn't expect to meet Uncle Huang and you. ”

Hearing that Zheng Chenggong didn't receive a messenger to answer, but just happened to save a few of his own people, Huang Ting sighed and said, "Hey, no wonder, maybe it's all providence!" Eldest prince, when you swore to oppose the Qing Dynasty, I thought about taking refuge in you. It's just that the Tartars are watching, and we haven't escaped until now, but I didn't expect to be chased and killed by the Qing army halfway, fortunately, there is a big prince to rescue, otherwise I am afraid that we will be in the catastrophe! ”

Hearing that Huang Ting and Shi Lang had come to take refuge in him, Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed.

Now it is not only the literati and righteous people who resisted the Qing Dynasty who have come to take refuge in him, but even those who have taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty have now come to join him.

What does this mean, it means that buddies are getting more and more attractive.

Hahaha, now that there is money and food, and there are more and more talents, the days of hard work of buddies have finally come to an end.

Zheng Chenggong, who was in a good mood, threw away the little unpleasantness brought by Shi Lang, and hurriedly took Huang Ting's hand and walked out together, saying, "Uncle Huang, you have come thousands of miles to join, this is Mingyan's honor.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's cold outside, hurry back to the barracks with Ming Yan. I should set up a banquet for you to receive the wind, but the march is out, it is inevitable that the greeting will not be inconsiderate, and please don't be surprised! ”

Huang Ting saw that Zheng Chenggong didn't mind the previous experience of himself and others taking refuge in the Manchu Dynasty, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and happily replied, "Don't dare, if you can be accepted by the eldest prince, it will be our Rongxin." How dare you make more requests, the eldest prince is still exempt from the banquet! ”

Huang Ting and the others still thought about being humble enough to quit the banquet, but Zheng Chenggong, who was bent on making a reputation, how could he let go of this matter of buying bones, and the banquet couldn't cost a few dollars. Zheng Chenggong dragged Huang Ting and the others back to the barracks for the banquet.

When Shi Lang heard Zheng Chenggong's explanation, the anger caused by his late arrival was also eliminated.

Seeing Zheng Chenggong attach so much importance to his own people, Shi Lang was in a better mood, and he no longer had a stinky face on his face.

When Zheng Chenggong was talking to Huang Ting and others, Zheng Jiajun also quickly finished cleaning up the battlefield and went home.

The only pity is that when the Zheng Jiajun defeated the Qing army, Hao Shangjiu exposed his fierce nature at the moment of life and death, he left his subordinates and fled.

The speed of the escape made the Zheng family's army, which has always been famous for its rapid marches, sigh to himself, plus there are many routs, which can block the pursuit of the Zheng family's cavalry, and when he captures those surrendered soldiers, he fled without a trace under Zheng Chenggong's nose.

Zheng Chenggong felt sorry for a while, but when he saw the gifts brought by Huang Ting, Shi Lang and others desperately, Zheng Chenggong immediately became happy!
