Shi Tie captured a large amount of grain and grass from Zheng Zhibao last time, and before the excitement passed, he received the latest information from the front-line scouts, and another grain transport team rushed from Chaozhou Mansion.

After coming to Jieling, he suddenly found that the grain protection team was still Zheng Zhibao, but the food protection team was huge, Shi Tie felt that the strength was not enough, and it happened that He Zhen also led the troops to come, so he asked his nephew to contact He Zhen.

He waited in the barracks for a while, Shi Tie was led to the barracks by Shi Kang, and after the two met, they shared each other's information without too much greeting.

The Zheng army from Chaozhou Mansion had more than 8,000 people just escorting the army, which was not much less than Shi Tie and He Zhen's two troops and horses.

Although the Zheng army was not equipped with rifles, it had a large number of grenades, and when the two were discussing how to destroy this army, suddenly one of the generals in Shi Tie's army who was in charge of scouts rushed back from Jieling.

"General soldier, it's not good, our scouts were raided by enemy troops and suffered heavy casualties."

Shi Tie frowned, picked up the big knife and nodded lightly with He Zhen, and motioned to go to the front line to have a look.

He Zhen followed him to the front line, the two came to the front line on the south side of Jieling, there were several corpses lying on the ground, all of them were Shi Tiebu scouts, who were discovered by the Zheng family scouts during the mission, and the scouts on both sides immediately fought, Shi Tiebu scouts were not as equipped as the Zheng scouts, and were defeated by the Zheng scouts with grenades during the battle, and were forced to withdraw after losing dozens of people.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Shi Tie and He Zhen said, "It seems that the Zheng clan already knows that our army is nearby, do you want to continue to ambush?" ”

He Zhen insisted on fighting, and roared fiercely at Shi Tie: "Fight, you must fight, these grain and grass are given to the Dutch ghosts on the front line, and the Dutch ghosts have no scruples to attack all parts of Huizhou Mansion, if you don't dare to go up, I will lead the troops to rush hard tonight, and you will lead the troops to burn the grain and grass from both sides, so that the Zheng family will also have some blood." ”

Shi Tie did not agree to the plan to rush hard tonight, thinking that he could not exchange his life for grain and grass, even if the Dutch grain and grass were burned this time, the Dutch still had the third batch of grain and grass, and the fourth batch of grain and grass was sent, and there were not many soldiers and horses left at that time.

He reminded He Zhen not to forget that the Governor of Lingdu warned that eliminating too many Zheng family troops in Huizhou Mansion would affect Zheng Chenggong in Shandong.

He Zhen said indifferently: "Zheng Chenggong has already retreated to Ningguo Mansion, and is resisting Zheng Zhilong's attack in Ningguo Mansion, destroying this army, wouldn't it make Zheng Zhilong's rear chaotic and reduce Zheng Chenggong's pressure." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward, and neither of them could convince anyone, so they broke up unhappily.

He Zhen returned to the army angrily, and his generals reported to him that his scouts had also been attacked, but fortunately they did not fight the enemy too much, and most of them withdrew.

When He Zhen heard this, he summoned the main generals and told them that the previous battle plan was invalid, and this time the task was to burn the grain and grass.

A thousand always asked him how to burn the grain and grass?

He Zhen looked at the sky, it was almost night, and he could use the cover of night to launch a surprise attack, many of his subordinates thought that the enemy had found that there were Ming army scouts nearby, and they would strengthen their vigilance tonight, and the success of burning grain and grass was not very large.

But He Zhen insisted on burning the grain and grass, and his subordinates had to obey his military orders, and they were all silently preparing for tonight's raid.

Zheng Zhibao was listening to the report of the generals in the army, just now he killed dozens of Ming army scouts in Huizhou Prefecture, and also brought back a corpse, Zheng Zhibao looked at the corpse on the ground, and realized that there might be an enemy nearby, but he didn't know how big the enemy army was, whether it was to sneak attack the grain and grass or attack the grain protection team?

He has 8,000 soldiers and horses, and he is not afraid of the Ming army of Huizhou Mansion fighting hard, thinking that the Ming army of Huizhou Mansion may sneak attack the grain and grass tonight, and there are only two ways to sneak attack the grain and grass, either to annihilate the grain protection team and snatch the grain and grass away, or to break through the grain protection team and burn the grain and grass.

He ordered the troops to be under martial law tonight, and the whole army worked up a twelve-point spirit to protect the grain and grass, and the whole army was scattered on the north and south sides of the grain team, and sent an order to the garrison, as long as someone approached the grain and grass tonight, they would shoot directly without questioning.

He also let a group of elite cavalry rush to Wuhua County, and get in touch with the Dutch troops stationed in Wuhua County, and asked the Dutch army to rush to Jieling to receive grain and grass.

The Zheng family's army was heavily guarded, and Shi Tie on the south side of the battlefield stared at him, and he couldn't find Zheng Zhibao's flaws for a while, no matter where he sneaked up, he would be counterattacked by Zheng Jun, and Zheng Jun pretended again

Prepare a large number of grenades, and rush over them is to die.

Shi Tie walked around, still couldn't think of a way to break the enemy, everyone knew that if they didn't burn the grain and grass tonight, they didn't annihilate this grain protection team, and the next day this team would join the Dutch devils in Wuhua County, at that time, even if Lingdu Governor, He Zhen, and his three troops and horses combined, they would not be the opponents of the Dutch, let alone the main force of the Dutch devils in Yongning County.

Just when Shi Tie was still racking his brains how to annihilate the grain protection team, He Zhen's department on the north side of Jieling took the lead in attacking, He Zhen's offensive methods were very simple and rude, and the whole army rushed hard, he firmly believed that Shi Tie on the south side of Jieling would not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Thousands of soldiers and horses of the He army attacked the Zheng army from the north side, Shi Tie looked at the battlefield intently, and he did not believe that the Zheng army would not have loopholes in the face of He Zhen's attack.

Zheng Zhibao, who was supervising the battle in the middle of the grain team, suddenly heard the shouts of killing on the south side, smiled in his heart, and immediately a general rushed to report to him that the Ming army had launched a surprise attack from the north of Jieling, and the soldiers on the north side were counterattacking in an orderly manner, and the general asked him whether to mobilize the troops on the south side to reinforce on the north side.

Zheng Zhibao believed that the 4,000 soldiers and horses on the north side could withstand the sneak attack of the Ming army, so he did not mobilize the troops stationed on the south side, but came to the south side with his own soldiers and personally commanded the soldiers on the south side to resist the enemy's sneak attack.

Although his troops were more soldiers and horses than Zheng Zhibao's south side, this was a surprise attack on the Zheng army, Zheng Jun was stationed in the military camp, and there were amazing grenades.

Shi Tie still did not make up his mind, but the attacking He Zhen Department was powerless, and after he led his troops to launch a surprise attack, he soon fought fiercely with the Zheng army, and the two armies were killed in the dark, and it was difficult to separate.

The number of soldiers and horses of He is not as large as the number of Zheng army, and they were smashed by Zheng Jun's grenades, and they suffered heavy casualties, He Zhen was anxious, Shi Tie was not attacking, I was afraid that his troops would be lost here.

Shi Tie, who had high hopes for him, did not launch an attack in the end, and the offensive momentum of He Zhen's department became weaker and weaker, after He Zhen hacked a Zheng soldier to death, the general pulled him and said: "General soldier, withdraw, if you don't withdraw the brothers, you will be gone, stay in Qingshan, don't be afraid of no firewood, when you get to Wuhua County, there is still a chance." ”
