Chapter Seventy-Three: Surprise Attack

Seeing that there are many people who oppose it and few people who are in favor, Zheng Zhilong is really a little embarrassed, but what can he do if he is embarrassed, he can't just engage in infighting in the nest now, in this way, it is estimated that Lord Yue will be even happier, but without the full support of Eighteen Zhi, can he do it?

Zheng Zhilong's idea is certain, okay!

Didn't you go, then you all waited for me, and when I destroyed Yue Su first, I will turn around and destroy you one by one

This meeting can be said to have broken up unhappily, Zheng Zhilong sent away those leaders who were unwilling to follow him, leaving only Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu, and Gan Hui to discuss the content of their discussion this time, how to go ashore and annihilate Yue Su in one fell swoop

If you want to win the war, the first is to know yourself and the enemy, and the second is that the soldier is fast and Fang En has been to the governor of Yuesu, and he has seen some large camps there, which are very strong, and it is not particularly easy to break through, but the camp is a camp after all, and it is much simpler than attacking the city, and the soldiers in the line do not seem to be many, although Fang En does not know the number, judging from the situation when entering and leaving, but if one or two thousand people carry out a surprise attack by their own men and horses, it is very likely that they will win in one fell swoop in the shortest possible time

On the same day, Zheng Zhilong arranged the battle policy, gathered the main force of troops and horses on Maweiyu, and the other three families also mobilized almost all the men and horses, totaling more than 9,000 people, equivalent to 10,000 troops

After the integration of men and horses, rest for a day, at ten o'clock in the evening, take a boat to Quanzhou because it is a land battle, Zheng Zhilong brought not many ships, enough to transport when he arrived in Quanzhou, it was four watches, the sky was still dark, by the night, Zheng Zhilong led people straight to the governor of Yuesu Xingyuan rushed to the boat, leaving only a few hundred people to guard the ship

Zheng Zhilong wanted to fight quickly, but his approach was to commit a big taboo don't look at the big guy as a pirate, taking a boat is commonplace, so as not to be tired, but after all, it is not a little bumpy and not a quick time to go ashore, just eat a dry mouth, and do not rest, so he hurried quickly, from here to the governor of Yuesu Xingyuan, at least it will take a day to reach the destination, the sky should be around Shenshi, and the sky is almost dark, this time period is the best time for a sneak attack, but the soldiers have rushed to the road for a day, and it is the time of exhaustion, Do you attack or not, if you don't attack immediately, this road is equivalent to running in vain, and if you attack, will your men be able to withstand it?

It seems that Zheng Zhilong only considered winning the victory in one go, and did not want the imperial court's troops to be prepared in any way, so when there were still four miles away from the governor's Xingyuan, he ordered to speed up and rush straight to Xingyuan

At this distance, it stands to reason that you can take a break, and when it gets darker again, you can attack with all your might, maybe it's better not to forget, whose territory is this, and another point is that this place is not a mountainous area, there are no woods, there are 9,000 people who landed with Zheng Zhilong, so many people, where do you hide, people with long eyes, you can see it at a glance

Although even if it is seen by ordinary people, it may not necessarily really go to the governor to report the news, but the sentence of being a thief with a weak heart makes sense, and in those years, there were many more people who saw righteousness and acted bravely than now

Dragging the tired body, the main force of the pirates came to the front of the camp of the Xingyuan camp, and the general camp, are placed with antlers, there are several soldiers standing in front of the door to guard the door There is an arrow tower in the camp, there are soldiers on the arrow tower on the lookout, the big guys who are responsible for guarding are not blind, nine thousand people are densely rushed to this side, and they are soon seen in the eyes, the soldiers on the arrow tower greeted them, and the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly ran into the camp and closed the camp door

Zheng Zhilong also saw the gate of the big camp closed, and when he saw this, he immediately determined that the officers and soldiers were not prepared, and only by rushing to the front and slamming open the gate, the victory would be their own He ordered loudly and the whole army charged

After a bumpy night and a day of hurried travel, the pirates were tired enough, and the strength left in their bodies was not much, but by this time, the more eager they were for victory, because only when they won the battle could they rest, and they should fight quickly

The pirates roared and rushed towards the camp, and when they were still more than eighty steps away, suddenly, above the camp, a body appeared, these people were dressed in the uniform of officers and soldiers, and they held firearms in their hands, and they did not know who shouted, "Shoot!" Immediately after, I heard the sound of "bang", "bang", "bang" and "bang" gunshots, accompanied by the sound of gunfire, Zheng Zhilong's side continued to sound screams, and the sound of someone falling down on the camp, the first row of firecrackers finished shooting, and immediately squatted down, followed by another row of firecrackers stood up and shot at the pirates with firecrackers

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang...... After a row of gunshots, the pirates under Zheng Zhilong's hands fell again, and the pirates were pirates after all, they were begging for a living at sea, and they fought on land, and there was no cavalry configuration, and after the two rows of muskets were fired, they could not rush to the front of the camp Moreover, the officers and soldiers still had a back hand, and after the second row of firecrackers finished shooting, they heard the sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounded, and dense feathered arrows flew out from the camp and fell towards the heads of the pirates

This rain of arrows is also very powerful, and in an instant, the pirates have fallen before they reach the camp, and their subordinates have all dropped more than a hundred, Zheng Zhilong is really confused, the officers and soldiers should not be prepared, what is going on, could it be that they were discovered on the road

At this point, the order to retreat is absolutely impossible, because after so many roads, the brothers are already exhausted, and there is not much strength left, if they escape, if they do not wait to run to the beach, they will have to rest completely, in case the officers and soldiers take advantage of this opportunity to rush up, their own family will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it seems that they can only fight

Zheng Zhilong shouted again, boosting morale, and the whole army charged, "Brothers, rush with me!" Just rush over, and the victory will be ours! ”

The gate of the camp is not the city gate, they have a big axe, more than a dozen axes go down, split the camp gate, there should be no problem, as long as the door is broken, you can win, after all, there are more people and fewer people

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was moving forward bravely, the pirates naturally would not be greedy for life and afraid of death, and then continued to move forward At this time, the gate of Xingyuan suddenly opened, seeing this scene, the pirates were instantly bunkered, what is going on?

But then, they understood that the pirates facing the gate were hurriedly fleeing for their lives on both sides, but there were people on both sides, and it was so easy to hide

It turned out that after the camp gate was opened, what was revealed was a red-coated cannon, which was laid flat, and I don't know whose height was higher than the antlers, which was exactly the position of the person's chest at the moment when the camp gate was opened, the fuse was ignited, and in the blink of an eye, I heard a loud "boom" The cannonball cut out of the air, and this thunderous blow was not something that people could stop

Where the shells passed, a bloody alley was shot directly, and all those who stood in front were spared to pieces

After this shot, the pirates were a little dumbfounded, and many people looked at the broken corpses left on the side, and they were a little unmoved, and they only now realized that land warfare was actually much more cruel than naval warfare

At this moment, the firecracker above the camp stood up again, "bang", "bang", "bang......

Another rain of bullets was directly put into the cooperation of nearly a hundred soldiers on the pirate battalion, which can be described as seamless, because after they finished shooting, they immediately crouched down, and the musketeers behind them immediately stood up and fired again

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang...... The pirates were completely defeated, but fortunately, Zheng Zhilong's reaction was relatively fast, and now they are only thirty steps away from the camp gate, as long as they work harder, the victory is still their own, "Brothers, follow me, there is still one last hurdle left, after going up, the victory is ours!" Come on! ”

The boss was desperate, and his men naturally did not flinch, and under his leadership, the pirates once again rushed forward, but they had lost a precious opportunity because of the panic just now

After the cannon at the camp gate was fired, someone immediately dragged the cannon away, and when the pirates were still ten paces away from the camp, another cannon was dragged over, and as soon as the cannon came, the soldiers did not aim at the angle, so they confidently lit the fuse

Anyway, there are enemies at the door, and there is no need to aim at all, and there is another cannon, and the pirates who are facing the door are chaotic again, but their speed is not as fast as the cannon, and there is a roar, and where the cannon is heading, there is a mess left

"Brethren, do not panic! We've all rushed here, remove the obstacles in front of us, and we'll be able to rush in, but if we retreat now, we'll die even worse! Be sure to resist! Don't lose the prestige of our Eighteen Zhi! Zheng Zhihu, who shouted this time, this kid is as his name suggests, he is a tiger temper, he was the first to rush to the front of the antlers, and several of his subordinates began to move

With him as an example, the pirates barely mustered up the courage to move the antlers together, but the soldiers guarding the camp calmly closed the camp gate, and it seemed that firing two cannons had already completed the task

It doesn't take long to move the antlers, and it can be done in a few moments, although the time is short, but it is enough for the gunners in the battalion to complete a reload

Just tossed for a while, the pirates didn't even touch the gate, and thousands of people died, this is the worst casualty since the Eighteen Zhi in the Alliance, Zheng Zhilong is now full of anger, just waiting to smash the camp gate, go in and let out a good breath

The pirate raised his axe, rushed to the camp gate, and began to slash the camp gate after all, it was not a city gate, it was not so strong, and there were really not many soldiers guarding the camp, so they could only watch the pirates break open the camp gate

"Click!" The gates of the camp were finally split
