Zhu Qizhen stood in front of the Lying Salary Palace, condescendingly looking at the city near the sea in the distance, with an incredible expression, and asked Kong Hongxu and the others beside him, "The enemy army has touched our noses, and Fan Biao and they have no news back?" ”

Kong Hongxu was silent for a while, "Your Majesty, the situation is serious, now is not the time to investigate the reason, the Penghu Islands are the gateway to Kaohsiung, and General Fan and his four guards may ......"

The news has not come back, and there are only two possibilities.

Annihilation or total surrender.

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a long time before he said, "Why did Fan Biao rebel?" ”

Chen Wei secretly gloated in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it obvious? ”

Not rebellious?

If you don't betray Fan Biao, you will have the same ending as Xie Wan.

Zhu Qizhen's expression was dark, and he muttered that I relied so heavily on Fan Biao, but he betrayed me, which was really chilling.

Chen Wei was in his heart, His Majesty Baozong was hard-mouthed.

As soon as the small imperial court was established, he had a new confidant and courtier, and he was a well-born Qianyan Shenggong and a former Zhang Tianshi, so he immediately abandoned Xie Wan, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and did not lose to His Majesty Jingtai in Gyeonggi at all.

Kong Hongxu said: "Your Majesty don't worry, the enemy must have taken it by surprise to make a sneak attack, only to force Fan Biao to lead the army to surrender, and now General Han led more than 30,000 people to hold the city, and the enemy army only landed about 10,000, and it will definitely not be able to succeed in a short time, as long as we consume it, if Han level seizes the opportunity, divides his troops to board the ship, and cuts off the logistics of this 10,000 enemy army, the enemy army will retreat without a fight!" ”

Zhang Chenglu coughed, "This is the most ideal state, but since the enemy army is coming, how can it be unprepared, or take precautions and prepare to retreat first?" ”

If you lose, you have a chance to escape.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the soldiers under the rank of the palace, and said loudly: "I want to live and die with Kaohsiung, and defend this homeland with my Ming soldiers, I want to tell that group of traitors, every inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, I will not give an inch!" ”

We must not mess with the morale of the military.

Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu glanced at each other and did not squeak.

Chen Wei pondered for a moment, and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to go to the city to supervise the battle!" ”

Zhu Qizhen just nodded.

Suddenly, I saw that the city wall near the sea was full of firelight and gunsmoke, and there were rumbling cannons, the sharp sound of cannonballs cutting through the sky, and the sound of dragging the air.

It's a war......

Zhu Qizhen's eyes jumped.

Wrong!

Zhu Jianji's young army used a cannon, how could it land on the city so accurately, and from a distance, the cannonballs would explode after they landed.

It even burst into flames!

A sea of fire is formed.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the soldiers on the city gate wall fell to the ground in large numbers, and some people were even directly swallowed by the raging flames, and after struggling for a while, they fell to the ground and did not move.

Not a traditional solid shell,

It's a flowering cannon!

When did the flowering shells of artillery become so powerful?

Most likely, it's not even the artillery of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Qizhen was a little confused, he suddenly understood why Fan Biao's Penghu Four Guards would be wiped out, or all of them surrendered, such artillery, falling on the battleship would be a catastrophe.

The wooden battleship could withstand such an artillery attack.

Zhu Qizhen was shocked inexplicably, Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu looked at each other, they didn't expect that the artillery of the young army was already terrifying, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to put Baozong in Taiwan back then.

Such a young army is not afraid of another change in the Baozong sect.

Daming has such an artifact, of course, it has to be expanded.

So......

Kong Hongxu thought of this, and saluted Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, Zhang Tianshi is right, the young army is menacing, and please make preparations for retreat as soon as possible, just in case." ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his sleeves, "I will not retreat, and I vow to live and die with Kaohsiung!" ”

But I looked at Kong Hongxu intentionally or unintentionally.

Kong Hongxu understood.

Immediately said to Chen Bin: "Chen Shangshu, go find General Han, Your Majesty will announce the summons on all matters related to the defense of the city." ”

Chen Wei immediately walked away quickly.

Zhu Qizhen listened to the continuous sound of artillery fire in the distance, and his heart trembled with horror, he had known that this was the case, what kind of small imperial court had been established, and it was not good to stay in Taiwan honestly.

Well, now, such a plague god has been attracted.

After all, the battle was not instantaneous, and it was useless for Zhu Qizhen to watch it, so he had to return to Beiwang Pavilion, Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu, as well as the celebrant and eunuch Meng Xi, followed and returned.

Zhu Qizhen paced back and forth in the Beiwang Pavilion, anxiously waiting.

Half an hour later, Han Ping and Chen Bin came back together.

Zhu Qizhen was already impatient, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and grabbed Han Ping's hand, "General Han, you tell me the truth, can you defeat Zhu Jianji's young army?" ”

Han Pingping's eyes were calm, "Your Majesty rest assured—"

Kong Hongxu coughed, "General Han, Your Majesty must listen to the truth, not a vain face." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded earnestly, "General Han, tell you the truth, I won't blame you." ”

Han Ping was silent for a while, "The power of the enemy's artillery is unprecedented, and almost everyone in the enemy army is armed with firearms, it is the Divine Machine Battalion!" The 10,000-strong Shenji Battalion is equipped with such terrifying artillery...... And the enemy seems to have a special kind of firecracker, with a very long range and extremely high accuracy, Xue Meng has been killed in battle, and he didn't even see the enemy's face clearly, more than that, most of the middle and high-level generals of our army were shot across the battlefield by the enemy's firecracker, just like Xue Meng! ”

Zhu Qizhen took a few steps back, "The situation is so bad? ”

Han Ping sighed: "It seems to be a new type of firecracker, it is too incomprehensible, our soldiers are pressed on the head of the city and dare not raise their heads, but the enemy's artillery shells, the landing point is simply perverted and accurate, even if our army is ambushed under the city wall, it is still killed and wounded, I am afraid it is ......."

After a pause, he changed his words: "I definitely can't hold it!" ”

Kong Hongxu immediately said: "This is not to blame General Han, the naval battle that the Huilong battalion is good at, but now that the enemy army is attacking and defending our city, our advantage is gone, and it is reasonable to lose." ”

Han Ping looked at Kong Hongxu with gratitude.

Kong Hongxu's words allowed him to be exempt from responsibility.

Zhu Qizhen sat down on the chair and muttered to himself over and over again in despair, "What should I do?" ”

Han Ping said softly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, we can only bring the materials and equipment that we can bring as soon as possible, and Weichen will send troops to temporarily leave Taiwan with Your Majesty, and wait for the situation to change, if the young army retreats, we can also make a comeback." ”

Zhu Qizhen's spirit perked up, "Yes, yes, retreat quickly." ”

Han Pingping immediately received the order, "That Weichen asked Zhao Tai to lead the troops to defend the main gate, and Chen Bin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, went to supervise the army, and Weichen led the Tiger Benwei to prepare for the retreat. ”

There is too much money in the treasury.

It takes a lot of time to get to the ship.

Zhu Qizhen got up in a panic, "Spread my will, and General Han will be fully responsible for the retreat." ”

Said to Han Ping: "Go and move the treasury quickly." ”

The money must be taken away.

More than 50 million taels, how much can be moved.

Han level received the order and immediately went to handle it.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the chair in despair, and after a long time, he muttered why I was running away again...... couldn't help but feel sad, and almost broke down and cried.

Kong Hongxu immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, we are just retreating strategically, or it won't be long before we will definitely return to Taiwan and fight back to Taiwan strongly!" ”

Zhu Qizhen is good at this.

Never despair.

Kong Hongxu comforted him like this, and Zhu Qizhen suddenly became energetic.

Said: "That's right, I will definitely return as the king!" ”
