Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 176
Standing at the foot of Jingjiang City, the young Guo Xingye felt his blood boil.

Over the years, he has followed his father's wishes, studied and made articles, and strived for fame in the imperial examinations. He did not follow his father's path of life and death, but perhaps he still has Zheng's inheritance in his bones.

When he was wearing armor and holding a sharp edge, and personally commanding a troop, it was a completely different feeling from being next to Lu Jianguo.

Defeat the enemy by the river and chase them to the city.

"Should I cook first and then eat, and wait for backup?" Shi Lang, a guerrilla from the Biaoying Camp, asked for instructions. He was Zheng Zhilong's confidant, the nephew of Shi Fu, the commander of the Chinese Army, and a fellow villager of Zheng Zhilong. Although he was young, he was as brave and brave as Shi Fu.A young man should not abandon his studies and learn swordsmanship.

Martial arts are outstanding, and there is a strategy.

Zheng Zhilong asked his son to go north to the state of Lu Jianguo, and specially selected the young general Shi Lang to follow him.Facing the enemy retreating into the city, Shi Lang did not underestimate the enemy.

But at this time, Zhu Chenggong was on his head, drawing his sword and shouting.

"It's not too late to eat after the battle!"

Shi Lang nodded, "The last general obeys." He didn't question his superior's order. Although attacking fortified positions might not be the best strategy at the moment, he still immediately provided corresponding arrangements. He carried the artillery from the battleship to blast the city, and the archers and musketeers covered the infantry. under the city.

"Go." Zhu Chenggong said excitedly.

The sound of cannons roared, and Qin Dapeng and others in Jingjiang City were also beaten into a daze. The subordinates of Chongming Puppet Yiyang King were so fierce, how could they still be trapped in a corner?
Although Qin Dapeng is known as the Five Tiger Generals, his old boss Liu Liangzuo was nicknamed Huama Liu. Among the four towns in the north of the Hongguang River, Liu Liangzuo had the most soldiers at first, claiming to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but this Guangchang who always liked to ride a fancy horse Uncle, he didn't have any outstanding achievements in his life. He was famous for defeating Luo Rucai and other bandits twice.

After supporting Hongguang, although there were many troops, he was the same as Zuo Liangyu and other military leaders. He collected taxes extensively, recruited soldiers and bought horses, searched for beautiful women everywhere, and indulged in sensuality. Wan surrendered.

Liu Du, the flower horse, is just a false name, especially the five tiger generals under him. Therefore, after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, many generals under Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, Huang Degong, and Zuo Liangyu were reused in the Qing army and even became famous. Come, such as Tian Xiongma's success, Zhang Tianlu, Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan and so on.

Qin Dapeng just got a Zhenjiang lieutenant general, the most important thing is that he didn't have any truly outstanding record, and his performance after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty was mediocre.

The cannon roared, and Qin Dapeng became more and more flustered.

The sound of Jingjiang's guns also alarmed another passerby, that is, King Yiyang and his party who were preparing to go south. They met and evacuated from Jingjiang, but they did not go far.

The sound of cannons from Jingjiang came from far away, and Shen Tingyang stayed behind to monitor the speedboat of the Qing army to catch up with the report.

"King Lu's men are attacking Jingjiang?"

After getting an affirmative answer and saying that they found out that the other party had played the banners of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Lu Jianguo, and Fujian Zheng's, everyone fell silent.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

King Yiyang panicked and didn't know how to face it.

Jing Benche, the governor of the Zhezhi Navy, didn't know what he was thinking, but Shen Tingyang was very excited.

"I didn't expect King Lu's men to come over so quickly, so we don't have to bother to go to Shaoxing, just go there for reinforcements."

Tian Yang thought about it and agreed.

At this time, Chongming has been lost, and the small court of King Yiyang has passed away, and the form of abdication and return to the feudal clan has been written. In the future, he will serve as King Lu to supervise the country, but he does not know what the future will be. If he goes to help now, it can be regarded as a petition .

Especially when I heard that Liu Kongzhao was also in the army of the Lu Supervisor, Liu Kongzhao had sent a letter to persuade him to return to Lu, so he was already thinking about returning to Lu at this time.

At this moment, Jing Benche and King Yiyang had 200 boats among the group, and Tian Yang didn't have many people. On the contrary, Shen Tingyang had more than [-] boats.

Under Shen Tingyang's persuasion, King Yiyang finally agreed to return to Jingjiang to help out.

Under Jingjiang City.

Zhu Chenggong and Shi Langzheng launched a fierce attack with artillery, and the attack was so fierce that Qin Dapeng and others in the city were beaten so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up.

If it weren't for Zhu Chenggong's lack of siege equipment, he might have already stormed into the city in one go.

"Report!"

"A fleet comes downstream, with hundreds of ships!"

This news startled Zhu Chenggong, downstream?Could it be that the Qing army from Su Song's side came over.

Fortunately, there was further news immediately that the fleet was under the banner of the Ming Army.

Zhu Chenggong soon saw a group of people who landed first.

Shen Tingyang personally brought a few people here, and when they met, he reported himself and took out his official seal.

Looking at the elegant man in front of him, Zhu Chenggong couldn't believe that he was actually Shen Tingyang.He has heard of Shen Tingyang's name a long time ago, not because he is now the left servant of the household department and the right servant of the military department, but because Shen Tingyang's shipping is very famous in Daming.

The Zheng family was originally engaged in maritime trade, and also did business without capital. They had the final say on the southern seas and basically monopolized Daming's foreign trade.

But for the northern route, they seldom get involved, and this Shen family is originally engaged in the northern route, with the base camp in Chongming, going south to Suzhou and Hangzhou, north to Tianjin, and even Liaodong and North Korea. The Shen family is an expert in this area.

At that time, Shen Tingyang played a trial and tried to transport grain by sea. I don't know how many people in the court were dissatisfied, and the interests of countless people in the canal water transport were touched.

But in the end he was still able to succeed, but he knew that this person was indeed very capable.

Zhu Chenggong also immediately revealed his identity.

"King Yiyang has abdicated and returned to the vassal table?"

"Chongming was captured by pirates Gu Rong and Huang Wuchang?"

"You have tens of thousands of people here now, are you willing to help out?"

Zhu Chenggong became happier the more he heard it. Although he had several Zheng's double-decker gunboats, they were only pioneers and not many soldiers.The most elite is only 500 people in his own standard battalion, and the invulnerable Iron Man Army is only [-] people.

Facing Jingjiang City, it was also a bit difficult to fight.

Shen Tingyang marveled at the strength of Lu Jianguo's Northern Expeditionary Army. With such a small vanguard, they dared to attack Jingjiang by force. He was unable to defeat it for so long.

Shen Tingyang led Zhu Chenggong to meet Yiyang King, Jing Benche, Tian Yang and others, and then gave Zhu Chenggong a surprise. He had besieged Jingjiang City before, but prepared a lot of siege equipment. directly onto the ship.

Now it can be used directly after being transported down. There are catapults, ladders, battering rams, etc., which can be used after being transported down and assembled.

With such a new force, the offensive surged again.

Shen Tingyang had been unable to attack for a long time before, and it was because his soldiers were not good enough.

Originally, his subordinates were a sea transport brigade. The transport ships were changed to warships, porters were changed to soldiers, and sailors were changed to land warfare to attack the city. Their combat effectiveness was limited.

Now that they come again, with Zhu Chenggong's men leading the charge, and even many Zheng's artillery cheering, the situation is very different immediately.

Qin Dapeng had already been bombarded with complaints, but unexpectedly, hundreds of boats arrived suddenly, tens of thousands of horses came down, and many siege equipment were transported down, and they were directly pulled down to the city to start assembly.

Seeing that a lot of ladders have been set up, he is completely panicked now.

At that time, Liu Liangzuo had 10 troops, and the whole army surrendered to the Qing army without firing an arrow. You know how cowardly they are.

Now that the Ming army is so fierce, and finally figured out that those soldiers are actually the troops of Jiangnan Admiral Zhu Wu, the ninth younger brother of the Puppet Supervisor of Lu, and even the son of Zheng Zhilong in Fujian under Zheng's banner, this roc immediately decided to retreat.

The wind is tight, and the wind is tight.

He was originally here to reinforce Jingjiang, and Jingjiang is not his defense area. He is the deputy general of Xiezhen Zhenjiang, not the deputy general of Jingjiang.

He doesn't want to work hard here.

"withdraw!"

Without further ado, Qin Dapeng led his men and immediately retreated from the north gate, running faster than a rabbit. After Zhu Chenggong found out, he led his troops to catch up and couldn't catch up. He watched them rush all the way across the boundary river and into Taixing territory.
