Chapter 180: The Battle for the North Harbor

In the depths of the Jade Mountain, towering ancient trees shade the sun. It can be described as a dark day. Dense primeval forests, huge ancient trees, the width of which can only be embraced by a few people. There's no sunlight here, not even a dark or rainy day. Even if the rain is pouring down on the head. It's also hard to drip much rain under the big trees.

The long procession, with the occasional turn, and the huge trunk of a tree even blocked the view of those behind it. It was as if the person in front of him had disappeared.

"Damn it!"

"What? Can't hold on? ”

Seeing Xie Yi complaining in front, Liu Feng in the back hurriedly laughed.

"Who said that?"

Xie Yi stopped and poked the crutch fiercely. Said: "I mean, the damn mosquito is about to bite Lao Tzu into a pig's head!" ”

Liu Feng smiled: "Didn't the guide give you herbs?" ”

Xie Yi touched his clothes and said with a wry smile: "I don't know where I fell." ”

"Give!"

Liu Feng handed over a few herbs, and Xie Yi took them. Put it in your mouth and chew it, then spit it out and wipe it on your face. Although it has been wiped out, looking at his expression, it is still very ugly.

"Damn! When will you be able to get out of this ghost's party! ”

Liu Feng leaned against a big tree and said, "It is estimated that it will take a day or two!" ”

Xie Yi said worriedly: "We only brought three days' rations, if we can't go out again, we will have to go hungry, why do we still fight?" ”

Liu Feng smiled: "; During the period of the country, Deng Ai led the army to attack Shu, climbed the trail, dug the mountain to open the road, repaired the trestle and built the bridge, and the fish penetrated into the dangerous area of more than 100 miles of uninhabited people. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and it is extremely difficult. On the way, the grain transportation did not continue, and he was in trouble many times. The troops walked to Mage Mountain, the road was cut off, and they could not advance or retreat for a while, Deng Ai took the lead, wrapped himself in felt and rolled down the hillside, and finally broke through Chengdu to destroy Shu. ”

"yes!" Xie Yi sighed: "It's the same as our situation today!" Wealth and danger are sought! ”

In order to solve the food problem, Xie Yi and Liu Feng discussed it and decided to divide a group of people to hunt along the way. It has to be said that hunting with muskets is a pretty good method. This is mainly due to the fact that the animals here have not seen many humans and have little ability to prevent them. Even some docile animals such as elk are not guarded against human approach, and as a result, the hunting operation proceeds smoothly. The warriors were refreshed with fresh game and entertained, which greatly alleviated the boredom of the march.

On 2 August, the 6th Naval Squadron crossed Yushan. Arrive at the Jiaxi River on the west side of Yushan, and rest for a day near Sun Moon Lake. The soldiers ate the game, and took a beautiful bath near Sun Moon Lake, and after cleaning up their personal hygiene, they quickly regained their combat effectiveness.

Xie Yi and Liu Feng stood on the mountain in the upper reaches of the Jiaxi River, and they could already see the situation below with a clairvoyant eye.

Below is the North Port area, which is more than a hundred times larger than the original. Farmland is full of crops, and although the houses are very simple, most of them are thatched huts, but they can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

In the middle is a large castle, surrounded by walls, but the walls are not high, less than two meters, and they are made of adobe. It is about three kilometers long and two kilometers wide, and most of the residents live inside.

"What a change!"

Liu Feng nodded and said, "More than half a year." It's a fertile land! ,

I remembered that the last time I attacked North Harbor, it had been burned to ashes, but it had become a fertile nourishment for crops.

"Report!"

The guards interrupted the conversation.

"Pieces!"

"Report to the division commander, the scout caught a couple of tongues".

Xie Yi put down the binoculars and interrogated Liu Feng together.

The tongues that were caught were farmers hunting nearby, a total of three people. It is the three generations of the old and the young. The eldest is in his fifties, his son is in his thirties, and his grandson is only in his teens. "Don't be afraid!"

Xie Yi asked: "We are the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and we were ordered to come and destroy Zheng Zhilong, as long as you cooperate honestly, I will guarantee that you will be fine!" small

The old man nodded, but he didn't know Xie Yi in their military uniforms.

Liu Feng saw the old man's doubts and said: "We are from the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, so the military uniforms are different from the previous officers and soldiers' clothing!" ”

When the old man heard that it was from the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, he immediately rejoiced: "You are the soldiers of that adult?"

Na Haonan's name has spread all over the country, so there are many people who know it, but not many people know it.

Xie Yi nodded and asked, "Where is Zheng Zhilong's bandit army?" Tell us everything you know! ”

The old man knew that it was an official army, so he said very cooperatively: "My lord doesn't know, Zheng Zhilong's bandit army left a few days ago, and most of the rest are temporary strong men, and I don't know how old and decayed they are!" However, they were no longer in the city, but concentrated in the south to defend against the Dutch. ”

Liu Feng asked, "Are you saying that there are no defenders in the city below?" ”

The old man nodded, and his son said, "Those city walls below are special residential areas for the common people, and the bandit army is no longer there at all. ”

Those?

"A lot?" Xie Yi asked.

The old man nodded and said, "The earthen city you see is just one of them, think about this kind of earthen city, from the big belly in the north to the Ouwang in the south, there are no less than dozens." ”

Liu Feng nodded and said, "I'll just say, two million people can't be so big, and a Tucheng can fit it."

Turning his head to look to the north and south, sure enough, as the old man said, there were residential areas and farmland in the distance.

"It's a big scale!"

"If Zheng Zhilong is really allowed to show up, he will be able to fight against the imperial court in less than two years

I asked some more details, and the old man basically said everything he knew. Arrange for people to take three generations of their grandparents down to rest, and they will not be released until the battle is over.

Now that he learned that the defenders left behind by Zheng Zhilong had been mobilized to the south to defend against the Dutch, the North Harbor in front of him could be easily occupied. However, it was useless to occupy the North Port, and the enemy's resistance had to be extinguished. and open the shore fortifications so that the transport fleet of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion can enter.

However, here's the problem. The Dutchman city of Geranza was far away, about forty or fifty miles. But the road to that side had to go through the residential area below. This makes it easy to be exposed. The surprise effect is gone.

Liu Feng said: "No matter what, we can only act at night. Hurry up for fifty miles, so that the exposure time will be prolonged! ”

"That's all there is to it!"

Xie Yi sighed, and then ordered the 6th Battle Division to rest on the spot and wait for the dark action.

As the last rays of sunlight fell, the North Harbor was plunged into darkness. However, due to the large population, the dim lights of each house still seem to be able to reveal the target.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, basically everyone went to sleep. At this time, the 6th Division began to move.

However, at this moment, the sound of artillery suddenly sounded in the west.

"Stop!"

Xie Yi hurriedly terminated the operation.

"What's going on? Did they show up with us? ”

"Not necessarily!"

Xie Yi pointed to the sea to the west and said, "The sound of artillery is gathered from the coastal fortress forts!" ”

Liu Feng looked at it with a thousand miles of vision, and saw the fire flickering on the sea to the west, which should be the light of the ship's guns. And the shore fire cannons in the North Harbor are also firing at the sea.

Putting down the clairvoyant, Liu Feng and Xie Yi looked at each other.

"Is it our fleet?"

"It shouldn't!"

"Who could that be?"

"No matter who it is, it's equivalent to helping us!"

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Xie Yi thought for a while, but still canceled the action. Because the battle broke out on the sea, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the defenders in the south, and it would be difficult for the 6th Division to succeed in a sneak attack.

"Send someone to investigate!" Liu Feng and Xie Yi reached an agreement, and the 6th Division suspended its operations, rested in place, and sent scouts to investigate.

Soon, it was midnight. The artillery battle in the west became more and more intense, and a large number of warships gathered on the sea, engaged in a fierce artillery battle with the artillery of the coastal fortress.

At this point, the scout came back to report. Originally. The fleet on the sea is the tide gang. Taking advantage of Zheng Zhilong's departure, the Chao Gang prepared to take Beigang, first, to cut off Zheng Zhilong's foundation, and secondly, to use the two million people here as their exhibition base.

"It's the Tide Gang!"

Liu Feng said: "I don't know if they are here to help us, or if they want to take advantage of the opportunity!" ”

Xie Yileng snorted and said, "Obviously, I'm here to take advantage!" Beigang has now become a huge piece of fat, there is too much oil and water, and the tide gang is tempted! ”

"That's fine!" Liu Feng said: "Zheng Zhilong's men are estimated to transfer some of them to reinforce the coastal fortress defenses. If the Chao Gang can force Zheng Zhilong's people to all be transferred, it will be more beneficial for us to lose both sides. ”

Xie Yi said with a smile: "Then it is estimated that they will not be able to compete tonight, let's take care of our spirits first!" ”

So, the two returned to the camp tent one after another to rest, and all the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division except for the vigilant personnel. The rest of the people also rested.

In this way, all night long, the artillery fire on the seashore did not stop. By the next day, the tide gang's offensive was even more fierce, hundreds of warships and guns on the sea fired in unison, and thousands of small boats charged towards the coast.

I have to say that the Beigang coastal fortress system arranged by Zheng Zhilong is very strong, and in the face of the overwhelming Chaogang pirates, the red-coated artillery of the shore defense fiercely returned fire. Countless people were killed and wounded.

At noon, Zheng Jing, the defender of the North Port, again transferred 2,000 men from the south to reinforce the coastal fortress battery.

According to the information given by Chen Dali, there are more than 10,000 defenders, and now there are only 8,000. And an unknown number of defenders must have been transferred last night, so that the number of defenders remaining in the southern camp was less than 7,000.

Now there are 5,000 men in the 6th Division, and the victory against about 7,000 minions is already in hand. However, Xie Yi is more careful, God knows how many of Zheng Zhilong's friends are still in Beigang, and is there a hidden killer copper?

Now it is time to use the Chao Gang to test the distribution of defense forces in Beigang, but now Xie Yi is not in a hurry, and it is better to wait and see what happens.

"That's right!" Xie Yi suddenly remembered Yifeng and asked, "What about Dong Nan and Chen Dali?" ”

Chen Dali originally led the way for the 6th Division and the Hunter Commando, but the 6th Division was too slow, and Dong Nan and Chen Dali arrived in Beigang first

Liu Feng said: "I think they should touch the Dutch's nest!" ”

The voice fell into the net, the guards came to report, and Chen Dali came back.

Watching Chen Dali drink a large pot of water violently. Sweating profusely, Xie Yi asked, "What's the situation?" In this place, without you, we would all be blind! ”

Chen Dali paused and said, "This time it's lively!" ”

It turned out that Chen Dali and Dong Nan's hunter commando team had arrived three days earlier, and had lurked in the vicinity of the coastal defense fortress and the city of Geranza to spy on the situation and reconnoiter the terrain.

Last night, the Chao Gang suddenly attacked, attracting the attention of Zheng Jing's defenders. Due to the fierce attack of the Tide Gang. Zheng Jing had already transferred more than 8,000 people to reinforce the fortress fort. In this way, the Nanda camp, which originally had only 12,000 people, was left with 4,000 people at this time.

When Chen Dali left, the Dutch army in the city of Gelanza drove out, nominally fan, Li Zheng Jing defended Beimo, but in fact Bu was preparing to take the opportunity to control the Beijing frozen paddle, and Li Xuan judged the intention of the Dutch.

Zheng Jing's men did not allow the Dutch to cross the dividing line. But the Dutch army opened fire suddenly, causing hundreds of casualties. Zheng Jing had no choice but to fight back, but a few thousand people couldn't defeat the five hundred Dutch troops, so he had to stick to the southern camp.

Xie Yi and Liu Feng couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Chen Dali immediately sprayed them with cold water and said, "Don't underestimate the Dutch, they use muskets with very fast fire, and the battle formation is very neat. ”

Liu Feng said: "I also know that the Dutch are good at using muskets, but they only have 500 people. And here we are 5,000, ten to one! ”

Chen Dali said: "This may not be the case. We reconnoitred and thought that the Dutch had increased their forces. The fleet of the Dutch East India Company had arrived at Luermen, so that their musketeers numbered two or three thousand."

Xie Yi said: "Our temporary plan is to go south to Beigang and not have a large-scale conflict with the Dutch first. As soon as the shore defense fortress is opened, our men will be transported by the guò navy! ”

Chen Dali knew that the 6th war base had 10,000 people, and he still had enough advantages in terms of troops.

So he said: "Zheng Jing's thousands of people can't stop the Dutch, and they can hold out for two hours at most." On the side of the coastal fort, it is estimated that it will not last until dark, so if you want to act, you will have to wait for Zheng Jing to be defeated by the Dutch! ”

"How long does it take to get from here to Nandaying?"

"Two hours!"

The Pacific Fleet, with great victory, arrived fifteen miles outside the Twin Islands base two days later.

According to Zheng Zhilong's will, Shi Daxuan led the Yellow Naval Army to continue to surround the Twin Island base. Constant tentative attacks every day.

However, most of the Huangzi sailors are boat masters, and they are all small boats of about 100 tons. Occasionally, there were two-hundred-ton mosquito gunboats, which could not pose a threat to the Pentagon at all.

The Pacific Fleet surrounded Shi Daxuan's boat division from east, west, and north, and Huang Dahai led his naval army to block Shi Daxuan's retreat from the south. At the same time, Huang Dahai is also the person who negotiated with Shi Daxuan on behalf of Deng Haonan.

Seeing Huang Dahai coming back with Deng Haonan's fleet, Shi Daxuan already knew the ending.

"Where's Zheng Shuai?"

Shi Daxuan asked when he saw Huang Dahai, Huang Dahai's expression was gloomy, and he said; "Zheng Shuai has died!"

Zheng Zhilong died. This was already expected by Shi Daxuan. It is impossible for Deng Haonan to let the tiger return to the mountain, and the whole set he painstakingly designed is to put Zheng Zhilong to death, and there is no reason to let him live.

"Did you surrender that Haonan?"

"We are like brothers!"

"I see!" Shi Daxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Deng Haonan wants you to persuade me to surrender, right?" ”

"Yes!" Huang Dahai said: "Although you and I always hold power, I still appreciate your talent, and I believe that you will make great achievements with Deng Haonan!" ”

"Are you making fun of me?"

"I don't need to be sarcastic! , Xiao Huang Dahai said: "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your son."

At the mention of his son, Shi Daxuan suddenly lost any temper. Shi Lang is his weakness. That Haonan really held his heart. "Qiluo's loss, as long as he is given good food and fun, he will have a good time."

Huang Dahai's words are still credible, and hearing that his son was not abused, Shi Daxuan felt much better.

"Say it! What do you want me to do". Shi Daxuan said: "The Yellow Sailor has been handed over to him, if it doesn't work, I can also help over there in Beigang."

Huang Dahai smiled: "That's enough!" However, the Beigang side may have changed their surname to Deng by now."

Shi Daxuan looked at Huang Dahai in surprise, and Huang Dahai told Shi Daxuan what Haonan told him.

"The defeat is not wronged at all." Shi Daxuan sighed, the road is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high, Zheng Zhilong still can't calculate Di Haonan.

Half an hour later, Shi Daxuan led the Huangzi Navy to surrender to Deng Haonan. Before this, Zheng Jun, the leader of the left army of the Yellow Character, did not surrender, and Shi Daxuan pleaded with Huang Dahai.

So Huang Dahai quietly told Shi Daxuan about Di Haonan's release of Zheng Zhilong's family, which immediately made Shi Daxuan change his opinion of Na Haonan.

"He asked me to guard the south side, in fact, I was asked to let go of people who didn't want to go to him." Huang Dahai smiled bitterly: "This time I owe him a favor again!" ”

Shi Daxuan immediately understood the key to it, and secretly sighed that Haonan's calculation was convincing. In the future, following such a master, it seems to be very promising and rich.

Shi Daxuan's surrender immediately relieved the siege of the Twin Island bases. At the same time, Deng Haonan obtained a large amount of food, artillery and ammunition, and the most important thing was that there was a talented Shi Daxuan among his staff, which was Deng Haonan's happiest.

The siege of Pentagon City was lifted, and the guards Zhang Liang and Cui Xinhui hurriedly lifted the alarm, dug up the blocked city gates, and cleared the obstacles to the waterway.

The work didn't finish until four hours later. The Pacific Fleet sailed into the harbor and anchored, and the damaged battleship returned to the dock for repairs.

Na Haonan first held a grand welcome ceremony for Shi Daxuan, Shi Guangde and others on the Black Pearl. Then near the gate of the Pentagon City, he received a celebration ceremony presided over by Zhang Liang and Cui Xinhui.

At the end of the event, Deng Haonan was in a hurry to return to the mansion to see his delicate lady Wanshu, while Shi Daxuan was reunited with his son, and other officers and soldiers also went home to visit their families, and they were full of joy for a while.
