Just after the New Year of the 40th year of Yongli, Zhao Shilin sent another 3,000 reinforcements to He Fu, of course, with the arrival of reinforcements, there was also a sternly worded order, asking He Fu to do his best to solve the Zheng army on Qiongzhou Island, which was "less than 10,000 people". (If you like this book, please collect it biquge.info) For the pressure of the Governor, He Fu had already prepared, so on the seventeenth day of the first month, he raised the flag to the south after the colonel and the three armies.
This time, in order to avoid the preset fortifications of the Zheng army on the front line of stability, He Fu sacrificed the near and far, first took Wenchang, and then won the meeting and the music, and then crushed the resistance of the Zheng army all the way. Of course, He Fu also considered that Zheng Jun might besiege Wei to save Zhao Zhice and attack Qiongzhou from Stability, so in addition to leaving 3,000 people to garrison Qiongzhou, after the troops entered Baisha Water Village and joined the Guangdong Naval Division, he left 2,000 Green Battalions, 1,000 Xiangyong and 1,000 Sailor Divisions to form a corner with the defenders of Fucheng. He Fu, who was so self-conscious and foolproof, swaggered and led his troops south.
In order to prevent the Zheng army from having the opportunity to sneak attack, the Qing army strictly followed the requirements of marching 30 miles a day and must camp at the same time, and lived and walked, from Dongsha Water Village to Wenchang County (note: Wenchang Wencheng Town) is only a hundred miles away, and the Qing army walked for four days. However, the snail-like Qing army finally moved to Wenchang, only to find that this was already an empty dead city.
Whether it is an empty city or a dead city, but the documents for reporting the victory are still full of flowers, so the government and the province cheered in unison, Lord He is really a famous general in ancient and modern times, and the army is omnipotent, completely ignoring Wenchang, which is also lost in the hands of He Fu.
The cowhide was blown out, but He Fu felt a little uneasy, where did Zheng Jun go? He didn't dare to act rashly, so he sent scouts to investigate everywhere, but Zheng Jun didn't find out, but harmed the people in the countryside who were hiding from the war.
Hearing the repeated confirmation of the prospectors, some Qing army generals couldn't sit still, so they stood up and admonished: "Military Gate, there is no trace of the sea reversal on the same line, and our army should hurry south." ”
"According to this official's journey, although there are no mountains in Qiongdong, but the hills and ravines are vertical and horizontal, what if the sea is hidden in it?" He Fu did not accept it. "Probe again, probe further south, until you find Zheng Jun!"
He Fu is a commander, and the military power is in his hands, and he insists on it, and others don't have much to say, isn't it just to continue to explore the way? Well, let's explore. But no one thought that Tanma had already appeared in Lehui County, and no trace of Zheng Jun had been found.
"There is no Zheng army north of Jiajiling?" He Fu touched his chin and looked at the map suspiciously. "Then where will Zheng Jun be?"
"It's not really on the front line of stability, waiting to copy our back road." One of the general soldiers judged so. "Or I'll go to Qiongxi, maybe I'm preparing to attack Changhua and capture Danzhou."
Saying this, He Fu couldn't go south: "Quickly send people to go in the direction of stability, this thing is evil."
Just when He Fu was uncertain, Qiongxi's battle report finally passed into his hands, it turned out that just two days before He Fu sent troops from Qiongzhou, more than 1,000 people of the Zheng Army's naval corps claimed to be 5,000 self-grateful and marched westward to the city of Changhua
The Changhua city in front of the Zheng army and the navy was built in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1392), when the thousand households Yu Qian was ordered to burn the brick wall, due to various reasons, the city was not built completely, Yongle nine years (1411) Changhua County was disturbed by the Japanese invaders, Changhua thousand households and thousands of households Xu Mao in order to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the city was rebuilt, the stone brick wall around the city, the circumference was two and a half kilometers, six meters high, five meters thick, five hundred and fifty stone buttresses, eight more paved, four city towers, four city gates, the east is the Qizhan Gate, the west is the Zhenhai Gate, the south is the Ninghe Gate, The north is Ningwumen, to the orthodox ten years (1445) Changhua Zhixian Zhou Zhen and dug a deep trench five feet wide near the wall around the periphery of the city, and for a time Changhua became the key to the coastal defense of Qiongzhou. But it's a pity that because the city is close to the sea, it has been hit by hurricanes and typhoons repeatedly, coupled with the decadence of military equipment in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, so the former "Xiongcheng" is now dilapidated, not only the brick wall falls off, the adobe inside is revealed, and even the horse road behind the female wall has grown trees
In the siege warfare of this era, at the beginning, most of them bombarded each other with artillery, but with a loud bang, a hot solid bullet shot out of the chamber of Zheng Jun's only three-inch cannon, directly hitting the upper part of the city wall, shaking the old wall soil scattered all over the ground. The Qing army was naturally not to be outdone and fought back bravely, not to mention, it was still very accurate, and in an instant, it killed a lot of swimming fish in the moat.
"Bastard thing, how did you fight pao, are you fighting Hai Reverse or beating your own people." The garrison commanding the battle was a slap in the face to the gunners. "Quick, put more medicine!" After reprimanding the gunners, the garrison raised his sword loudly to encourage the Qing troops on the side. "There are not many Zheng soldiers, when the cannon goes off, rush out with Lao Tzu to kill and disperse, everyone should change their official hats and belts!"
Because the actual number of troops dispatched by the Zheng army was only more than 1,000, and there was a sentry at each of the east and west gates of the city to bluff, only 5 or 600 people appeared at the south gate of the main battlefield, almost the same as the strength of the Qing army's defending troops, and some of them seemed to be baggage troops with low combat effectiveness and there was no ambush, so the Qing army, which was moved by the prospect depicted by the garrison, suddenly became bolder.
At this time, the cannon on the head of the city rang out again, and this time the two lipstick cannons with enough gunpowder were finally barely able to threaten the Zheng army, but the landing point was too far, Rao was so, or forced the Zheng army's artillery to change positions.
"Rush!" Taking advantage of the fact that the artillery fire suppressed by the Zheng army disappeared for a while, the originally closed city gate was opened from the inside, and the two or three hundred Qing troops rushed out with their upper bodies bare, looking fierce and vicious, as if they could be invincible in this way. "Kill a sea reverse and reward ten taels of silver, and kill the leader to immediately upgrade to one level." In the slogan, the self-hypnotized Qing army realized that victory was already in sight, but because of their sortie, the gunners who were afraid of accidental injury also stopped at this time, and only the hoarse shouts of the Qing garrison were left on the battlefield. "Kill the sea and the sea, eat and drink spicy!"
Since the commander-in-chief at the regimental level has not yet been decided, Zhang Qizhong's new boss, Lu Youfang, the naval sentry officer of the Lukang team, has become the highest-ranking officer in the naval corps at present.
There were some five-foot-long tubes lined up on the car, which looked very similar to the rocket launchers of the future, but the diameter of the iron pipes was much smaller, only about five inches. The iron pipe is divided into three layers, and the angles of the six iron pipes on each layer are slightly staggered, and what makes people feel even more strange is that the outer layer of each iron pipe also carries two wings of thin iron sheet heat sinks, so that the Zheng officers and soldiers who do not know its purpose call it "official hat and car".
At this time, the Qing army had already taken more than a dozen steps closer, but seeing the black slaves with dark complexions, these local green battalion soldiers in Qiongzhou, who had never seen the market, hesitated a little and subconsciously slowed down.
But Lu Youfang did not have the spirit of Ferpolai, and as soon as he saw the Qing army's footsteps disordered, he immediately ordered: "Fire!" ”
As if a typhoon was passing by, after the sound of fried beans sounded, the twenty or thirty Qing troops running in the front were almost swept away, looking at the peers in front of them who were either strange or still wailing, some Qing troops were timidly ready to flee backwards, some tried to fight back, while others were bold and thought that the firepower of the Zheng army was not sustainable at all, so they continued to rush forward, and the already untidy Qing army became more and more chaotic.
At this time, several cars were pushed down, and the Zheng soldiers, who were lined up again, set up fires and prepared for a long time. Soon the order to shoot was given, and after the first salvo, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were knocked to the ground, followed by another volley, this time with more Qing troops falling to the ground. When the Zheng army with the deer gun dispersed, the three-inch cannon that had just moved to the side suddenly fired a shotgun diagonally, and at least a dozen Qing soldiers fell to the ground like punctured water bags, shooting blood.
The Qing army tried to use loud curses to strengthen their courage, but they saw the sailors holding rattan cards and sharp blades bravely meet them, and the two sides immediately fought. After a hand-to-hand fight, the frightened Qing army found that he couldn't break through the rattan defense at all, and it didn't matter if he couldn't break the rattan card made of iron wire, but even if he occasionally had the opportunity to give Zheng Jun a knife at close range, the powerful heavy split was offset by the thick kunskin-shark skin composite armor on the opponent's body, and at most a shallow layer of oil skin was cut.
Of course, the Zheng army did not have no casualties, or fell under the bird of the Qing army, or was stabbed through by a spear, but compared to the hundreds of casualties of the Qing army, the dozen or so fallen people of the Zheng army are not worth mentioning at all.
"Go back!" The reckless attack of Du Si had turned into fear at this moment, so he slashed hard, forcing Zheng Jun in front of him to turn around and run, shouting as he ran. "Go back to the city, retreat!"
Du Si took the lead in running, and the Qing army, which was already low-spirited, rushed back in a swarm.
"Catch up, don't let the Qing army escape back to the city!" Lu Youfang roared and charged ahead. "Kill!"
Because the Zheng army was caught in the defeated Qing army, the cannons on the head of the city were also dumb, but the garrison of a Qiē Sa Yazi was about to cross the moat, and at this time the city gate suddenly closed, and before he could show fear, a row of bows and arrows suddenly shot out from half of the city wall, but it was Changhua County who rushed to the city head with a supplement of Xiangyong and Minzhuang, and crossed the overwhelmed Qianzong who stayed behind, and decisively ordered to shoot and kill in one piece.
"Damn! I'm Toji, I don't deserve to die here. "Duji, who was shot by himself, fell weakly in the mud, feeling the loss of blood and strength, and Duji cursed like a mosquito from his mouth." Changhua County, I cao you"
Although the bow and arrows and guns that slanted down forced the Zheng army's charge back, but the Zheng army's three-inch cannon that quickly turned the head of the gun hit the gunpowder accumulation at the head of the city without two shots, with a huge explosion, the county magistrate who swore to serve the Qing court turned into a puddle of flesh, seeing that the county lord was dead, Lord Dusi and Lord Qianzong were also dead, and the green battalion, Xiangyong, and Minzhuang, who were lucky to survive the explosion, immediately dispersed, and Changhua County fell into the hands of Zheng Jun
He Fu, who listened to the report, sighed: "Zheng has 5,000 troops, first trapped Changhua and then entered Danzhou, good means, good courage, and tens of thousands of people still dare to surround Wei to save Zhao." ”
"In case of the military gate, there are really five thousand in the sea?"
"What 5,000 people, two or three thousand will reach the sky." He Fu sneered. "Even if there are really 5,000 people, how many will attack all the way to Qiongzhou? Could it be that the 7,000 troops left by this official can't even hold Qiongzhou? ”
"Junmen, the sea rebellion on the west road may not have five thousand, but in case the sea rebel increases the army?"
That's right, the Qing army can increase its troops, why can't the Zheng army, but He Fu thought about it for a while and shook his head: "Don't you want Dongning at all?" If you still want to protect Dongning, how much will Zhu Qinxiaoer dare to mobilize even if he increases his troops? ”
Speaking of this, He Fu, who had already paid for his full control, grabbed an arrow: "Pass on the official's general order, the whole army will attack, enter Wanzhou, cut off the sea reversal return, and be sure to succeed in the first battle."
