Chapter 184 - Determination (1st Update)

"I've seen the big handsome!" Zheng Zhibao hurriedly came and saluted Li Yanzhi with a fist.

When the town of Jin'an was first attacked, it was Zheng Zhibao who led the Bengang soldiers to do it, and of course there were more than 200 Praetorian Guard gunners. Beforehand, Zheng Zhibao secretly visited Li Yanzhi under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, and originally had a general impression of Li Yanzhi, thinking that Li Yanzhi was a sinister and cunning guy with a smile on his face. Otherwise, he would not have been able to do such a thing as a Fujian general soldier, but secretly let people pretend to be pirates to attack Jin'an Town.

However, in today's battle, Zheng Zhibao's impression of Li Yanzhi has changed greatly.

As the chief soldier but personally led the troops to reinforce, the eight hundred guards walked in the dense forest for two days, suddenly joined the battlefield, and wiped out the main force of the red-haired ghost in a battle, frightened the claw-wit servant army and fled, and then blocked the red-haired ghost to deviate from the back of the division, forcing the two hundred red-haired ghosts to surrender.

In the face of the ferocious red-haired ghost, he can play such a record, which can be called both wisdom and bravery, and the combat power of his subordinate Praetorian Guards is so strong, in the entire Fujian and even the entire southeast, except for the Qi family army that has been destroyed, no army can match it!

How dare Zheng Zhibao be disrespectful to such a person with strong force? Not to mention that people crossed the sea to save themselves and rescued 30,000 people in Ben Port!

"How many more ships are there?" Li Yanzhi didn't have the time to greet Zheng Zhibao, and asked directly.

"There are more than 200 of them." Zheng Zhibao said, "Dashuai, do you want it?" ”

"Pick twenty ships first, you take people down the river, block the back of the fleeing red-haired ghost servants, and attack the Praetorian Guards back and forth, and intercept all the red-haired ghost servants!" Li Yanzhi commanded.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Zheng Zhibao didn't ask much, left some people to watch the prisoners, and immediately took people there.

A quarter of an hour later, more than 20 wave-breaking boats carrying more than 1,000 Ben Hong Kong soldiers headed downstream under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong. Flowing down the river, and with the possibility of borrowing sails, it was much faster than on foot, and it was more than twenty miles from the coast, and it was sure to hold the servants back before they could flee back to the shore.

Li Yanzhi let his subordinates rest on the spot, a battle, it was very easy, and it didn't take much effort, because the tiger squat artillery raid caught the red-haired ghost off guard, and the red-haired ghost musketeers were stunned before they could shoot, and the Praetorian Guard had almost no casualties. But there is also more than an hour from the march to now, and it is necessary to take a break.

While resting, Li Yanzhi asked the prisoners to be interrogated. Putman, the governor of Taiwan in the Netherlands, was shot blind in one eye and shot in the stomach again, but miraculously did not die, while his 300 subordinates died nearly 200, and the remaining 100 people were also wounded.

As for the two hundred red-haired ghost divisions who blocked the main village, because they surrendered simply, there were no casualties. Two hundred red-haired ghosts, all of whom had arquebuses, surrendered after being blocked on both sides, and such combat effectiveness surprised Li Yanzhi.

That's it, how did you cross thousands of miles? And how did you dominate the seas?

So Li Yanzhi asked people to take the commander of this group of red-haired ghosts, a guy with a strange helmet on his head and a red bird feather stuck in his helmet. Deep eyes and high nose, sickly white skin, such a guy Li Yanzhi saw a lot when he was in Beijing, and there were such Xiyi people in the Academy of Sciences and the arsenal. But......

"Their beard is not red, why do you call them red-haired ghosts?" Li Yan called Zhang Hong and asked strangely. Zheng Zhilong and his subordinates all called the Dutch red-haired ghosts, which made Li Yanzhi a little curious, and at first he thought that the Xiyi people on the island of Taiwan looked different.

"Look, big handsome, they all have a clump of red tassels on their hats and helmets, and all of them are, so we call them red-haired ghosts." Zhang Hong explained.

"I see." Li Yanzhi nodded, finally understood.

"We're not, we're not ghosts, we're people like you." The red-haired ghost commander suddenly spoke, speaking in a very stiff Chinese language.

"You can actually speak Chinese." Li Yan smiled, so it was easy to communicate.

"My name is Humphrey. Meredith, you may call me Major Humphrey. Dear Chinese General, my soldiers and I have surrendered, please give us humanitarian treatment, and the Dutch East India Company will provide us with a certain amount of gold coins to help us redeem our freedom. Major Humphrey said.

"Oh, can it be? No wonder you surrendered. Li Yan said with a straight smile.

Major Humphrey said: "Everyone's life is precious, and according to Europa tradition, the battle has been lost, and God will not blame us if we choose to surrender." Dear Chinese General, for God's sake, please be kind to us. ”

"If you want to get preferential treatment, you have to be useful to us," Li Yan said with a straight smile, "Major Humphrey, now you can tell me a little bit about you." ”

......

An hour passed, and the pursuing army withdrew one after another, escorting a large number of prisoners.

Ji Da came back with the general Praetorian Guards first, and told Li Yanzhi that the prisoners were all behind, and they were escorted by Zheng Zhibao's people.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the Bon Hong Kong soldiers of the brigade returned with the captives, and the black clawed natives were tied with ropes and strung together in long strings, just like monkeys being tied. However, these natives are more honest than monkeys, and they dare not move even if they are kicked and beaten by Han soldiers.

In the midst of this group of "monkeys", there are several red-haired ghosts, but they are Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas and his guards in charge.

"Dashuai, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" Zheng Zhibao rushed to Li Yanzhi excitedly.

"How many red-haired ghost servants have escaped?" Li Yanzhi asked.

Zheng Zhibao shook his head: "There shouldn't be a few." I took my men and my men to go around behind them in a boat, and blocked the way to the coast, and the dense forest on one side was guarded by two hundred men, and after a quarter of an hour, the monkeys fled in a disorderly manner, and the monkeys were very timid, and we just fired a round of firearms, and they surrendered one by one. ”

"Are you sure no one has fled to the shore?" Li Yanzhi continued to ask.

Zheng Zhibao thought for a while and shook his head: "Anyway, I didn't see it, maybe someone fled into the dense forest, but the forest here is very dense, there are many snakes and insects, and it may be difficult for a few people to get out of the dense forest." ”

Li Yan nodded straightly: "It's good if you don't have it." In that case, we can move on to the next step. ”

"Shuai, do you want it?" Zheng Zhibao asked.

"Seize the ship, seize the red-haired ghost plywood boat parked at sea!" Li Yan said straight.

"Huh?" Zheng Zhibao was shocked, "How is this possible?" The ship of the red-haired ghost is at sea, there must be someone left, and there are dozens of Hongyi cannons on each ship, just our two hundred or so small boats, which is not enough to see! ”
