If you talk about Hu Laoer, there are still some smart and witty people.

Take the strategy they are proposing now, although it can't be said to be perfect, but at least it is their better choice for now.

But everyone doesn't like him very much, because he always has a villainous ambition in him.

Just like the last time I asked Li Ba to negotiate, I always let other people's original gratitude quickly disappear.

"Look at the second person, and then look at you. A bunch of garbage, what's the use of asking you? ”

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, Zheng Kai looks at other guys more and more unpleasantly.

After a few reprimands, Zheng Kai discussed with them about the next action.

The first is to evacuate the people, and not to let the Ming army wantonly slaughter.

Then it was to choose the only way for the Ming army to go through and implement an ambush.

In the end, Hu Lao Er put forward another idea: divide the troops.

Break it into pieces, harass the Ming army from all directions, make them not know where the main force is, and they are tired of running for their lives, and finally wait until reinforcements come before giving the final blow!

Zheng Kai listened to it and agreed, and praised Hu Lao Er as a rare sight in the sky and only on the earth, so he almost said that he was Zhuge Kongming alive.

Now that you've got your strategy in place, it's time to implement it.

It is located along the Taohe River, with mountains on both sides, not much flat land, and few people living there, so it doesn't take much effort to evacuate. If you come across a village, let them flee to the mountains.

Then there's trapping, ambushing, and so on.

Zheng Kai waved his hand and gave his generals the greatest autonomy: to divide the troops.

More than 18,000 soldiers were divided into ten groups by him, and at the sound of an order, they ran away without a trace in less than half an hour.

It wasn't until everyone was gone that Zheng Kai suddenly remembered that he only had two thousand, if he met the Ming army, what would he do?

So he led the people to run quickly downstream, no matter what others did, he planned to go to the agreed meeting place and hide first.

Mu Tianbo and Ma Xianglin marched cautiously with their soldiers, and they ran into some people who were in Jiaozhi along the way, but they did not harm them. After all, attacking the defenseless people is not conducive to future rule.

The two sides of the upper reaches of the Taojiang River are each acting for their own goals.

At the mouth of the Taojiang River in the most downstream, more than 10,000 Ming troops led by Xu Zhi'an also encountered the first battle.

To be exact, it was Xu Zhi'an who was planning to attack the first city he encountered, the seat of Haiyang Mansion, Haiyang City.

This is the first city encountered since the landing, and it doesn't look big, but the walls are crowded with people, and it looks like there are quite a few troops. Zheng Jiu fled here.

Xu Zhi'an took out his binoculars and looked at them, and found that there were several cannons standing on the head of the city, and in addition, there were some soldiers with muskets.

He pouted and smiled.

He instructed his men to inspect the other three walls, and when he learned that the situation in the other three walls was similar to that in the south, he gave the order to attack the city.

"The 1st Mortar Corps struck! Aim at me a little, the one that misses the most will go out this time regardless of the military industry! ”

"Yes!"

The 1st Mortar Squad, which had received the order, responded loudly and ran out of the formation, twenty squads, each with five people, a total of one hundred soldiers, and twenty mortars.

In fact, as can be seen from the name, this mortar squad of 100 people is not the only one, but five.

But the battle has just begun, and the first one is just a temptation.

Seeing a small group of Ming troops coming out, the defenders at the head of the city were confused.

The soldiers of Jiaozhi who had never seen mortars were all very strange, what did the Ming army plan to do when they sent these hundred people?

I didn't see them carrying bows, arrows, muskets or anything like that?

Stopped?

"It's still a mile from the wall, what do they want to do?" Zheng Jiu, who had a bandage on his head, asked his subordinates on the side, but no one answered, because no one knew.

Two days ago, when the Ming army landed, Zheng Jiu was lucky enough to escape, but was knocked over the wall by the shock wave of the cannonball, and passed out.

When he woke up, he found a large group of soldiers fleeing with him.

After inquiring about the situation, it turned out that the soldiers in the port could not resist the powerful artillery on the opponent's warship, so they could only retreat temporarily.

And he was saved by two retreating soldiers.

In this regard, Zheng Jiu naturally expressed his gratitude and promised to let them be promoted and make a fortune in the future. He ordered the defeat of nearly 2,000 remnants of the army to come to this large city closest to the sea. He knew that these 5,000 soldiers were stationed here all the year round, plus the 2,000 in his own hands, and if he held the city, it was not without the strength to fight.

After he rested in Haiyang for a day, the Ming army caught up as expected, and he climbed the city wall as soon as he learned the news and saw the scene in front of him.

The 1st Mortar Squad quickly separated after leaving the formation, lining up in a row, with an interval of twenty paces in between.

Dig pits, assemble mortars, adjust firing angles.

After a series of operations, the first squad was ready, and the captain who commanded with a small flag looked at Xu Zhi'an, Xu Zhi'an nodded, and the team leader waved the flag reluctantly.

"Put!"

The gunner, who had already prepared, put the shell into the barrel.

After a series of "thump", twenty shells whistled towards the city.

At this point, Zheng Jiu and other soldiers knew that it turned out that these guys were making artillery!

"Fuck, hide!"

Zheng Jiu, who had tasted the power of the Ming army's artillery, shouted, found a place to be afraid, and pulled a shield over his head.

Rumble!

The shells exploded on the city walls, swaying and screaming at the soldiers at the head of the city.

However, due to the fact that it was the first shot, the angle of fire was not well grasped, and only three or four of the twenty shells could accurately hit, and the others either hit the foot of the city or the city wall, or hit the city.

Zheng Jiu saw it and breathed a sigh of relief, that's it? I thought it was so powerful.

This is not good, it is far worse than the guns on that ship. There is also a deviation to grandma's house.

"Fight back! Fire! ”

The soldiers who operated the artillery began to fire artillery fire in return.

Although they couldn't shoot either, at least the momentum was built.

Xu Zhi'an, who had been waiting for the results of the battle, had an ugly face, and the captain of the first squad quietly glanced at it, knowing that if he continued like this, he would have to be criticized, so he hurriedly reprimanded him loudly.

"Fuck me seriously, how did you cum? How do you usually practice?! If it is like this, let Lao Tzu go back to the capital to milk the child! Don't say it's my soldiers! ”

A group of scolded soldiers were silent, adjusting their muzzles one after another, waiting for the captain's next order.

"Put!"

Another round of shelling, thirteen of the twenty shells landed precisely on the walls.

The captain nodded with satisfaction, to be honest, this hit rate is not low.

"Who's off again!? Do you want to eat a whip!? Tune again! ”

The cannon squad outside the city is training, and the defenders at the head of the city are having a hard time.
