Chapter 176 It's not too late to eat after the battle
The young man named Guo stood at the foot of Jingjiang City, feeling his blood boiling.
Over the years, he followed his father's wishes, studied and wrote articles, and competed for fame in the examinations. He did not follow the path of his father and others in life and career, but maybe he still had the inheritance of the Zheng family in his bones.
When he was wearing armor and personally commanding a troop of troops, it was a completely different feeling than being next to Lu Jianguo.
They defeated the enemy by the river and pursued them to the city walls.
"Should we make food first and wait for backup?" Shi Lang, a guerrilla from the Biao camp, asked for instructions. He was the nephew of Zheng Zhilong's confidant Shi Fu, the commander of the Central Army, and a fellow countryman of Zheng Zhilong. Although he was young, he was as brave and brave as Shi Fu.
A young man should not give up studying and learn to sword.
He has outstanding martial arts skills and a good sense of strategy.
Zheng Zhilong asked his son to go north to supervise the state of Lu, and specially selected the young and brave general Shi Lang to follow him. Facing the enemy troops retreating into the city, Shi Lang did not underestimate the enemy.
But at this time, Zhu Chenggong was standing on his head, drawing his sword and shouting.
"It's not too late to eat before fighting!"
Shi Lang nodded, "General, I will obey." He had no doubts about his superior's order. Although attacking the fort might not be the best strategy at the moment, he still immediately provided corresponding arrangements. Artillery was carried from the battleship to bombard the city, and the archers and musketry soldiers arrived to cover the infantry.
Under the city.
"Go." Zhu Chenggong said excitedly.
With the roar of cannons, Qin Dapeng and others in Jingjiang City were also beaten at a loss. The subordinates of the pseudo-Yiyang King of Chongming were so fierce, how could they still be trapped in a corner?
Although Qin Dapeng was known as the Five Tiger Generals, his old boss Liu Liangzuo was nicknamed Liu Liangmao. Among the four towns in Hongguang Jiangbei, Liu Liangzuo initially had the most soldiers, claiming to have 100,000 troops, but Guangchang, who always liked to ride a calico horse,
Bo, he didn't have any outstanding achievements in his life. The two most famous ones were defeating Luo Rucai and other thieves.
After Hongguang was established, although he had a large number of troops, he, like Zuo Liangyu and other military leaders, levied taxes, recruited troops, searched for beautiful women everywhere, and indulged in sex, which had long been corrupted. When the Qing army went south, he directly led ten of his troops.
Wan surrendered.
Liu Du, the flower horse, was just a name in vain, and the five tiger generals under him were even more so. Therefore, after the Qing Dynasty was surrendered, many generals under Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, and even Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were reused in the Qing army and even gained fame.
Come, such as Tian Xiongma, Zhang Tianlu, Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan and so on.
Qin Dapeng was a deputy general in Zhenjiang, but the main reason was that he had no truly outstanding record, and his performance after being promoted to the Qing Dynasty was average.
The cannons roared, and Qin Dapeng became more and more panicked.
The sound of artillery in Jingjiang also alerted another group of people, that is, King Yiyang and his party who were preparing to go south. They gathered and evacuated from Jingjiang, but they did not go far.
The sound of artillery fire from Jingjiang was heard in the distance. Shen Tingyang stayed behind to monitor the Qing army's speedboat and quickly caught up with the report.
"King Lu's men are attacking Jingjiang?"
After receiving a positive reply and saying that they had discovered that the other party was using the banners of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Lu Jianguo, and the Fujian Zheng Family, everyone fell silent.
Everyone has something to think about.
King Yiyang was panicked and didn't know how to face it.
Jing Benche, the naval governor of Zhejiang Province, didn't know what he was thinking, but Shen Tingyang was very excited.
"I didn't expect King Lu's men to attack so quickly. Then we don't have to go to Shaoxing and go directly to reinforce them."
Tian Yang thought about it and agreed.
At this time, Chongming has been lost, the small court of King Yiyang has passed away, and the form of abdication and return to the feudal domain has been written. From now on, King Lu will supervise the country, but I don’t know what the future will be. If I go to help now, it can be regarded as a vote of trust.
.
Especially when I heard that Liu Kongzhao was now in the Lu Supervisory Army. Liu Kongzhao had written a letter before to persuade him to return to Lu, so he was already thinking about returning to Lu at this time.
At this time, among the group of people, Jing Benche and King Yiyang only had eighteen ships. Tian Yang did not have many men and horses. On the contrary, Shen Tingyang had more than two hundred ships.
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 the help of artillery. The offensive was so fierce that Qin Dapeng and others on the city were beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads.
If Zhu Chenggong hadn't lacked siege equipment, he might have already attacked the city in one go.
"Report!"
"A fleet is coming downstream, with hundreds of ships!"
This news shocked Zhu Chenggong. Downstream? Could it be that the Qing army from Su Song's side came over?
Fortunately, there was further news soon. The fleet was under the banner of the Ming Army.
Zhu Chenggong soon saw the group of people who had landed first.
Shen Tingyang came in person with several people. Upon meeting, he introduced himself and took out his official seal.
Zhu Chenggong looked at the elegant man in front of him, and it was hard to believe that he was actually Shen Tingyang. He had heard of Shen Tingyang's name before, not because he was currently the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the right minister of the Ministry of War, but because of Shen Tingyang's name. Shipping is very famous in Ming Dynasty.
The Zheng family was originally engaged in maritime trade and also engaged in business without capital. They had the final say on the southern sea and basically monopolized the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade.
But they rarely get involved in the northern route, and the Shen family is originally engaged in the northern route. The base camp is in Chongming. They go south to Suzhou and Hangzhou, north to Tianjin, and even go to Liaodong and North Korea. The Shen family is an expert in this.
At that time, Shen Tingyang proposed a trial plan to transport grain by sea. I don't know how many people in the DPRK and China were dissatisfied, and the interests of countless people in canal transport were touched.
But in the end he was able to succeed, and you know that this man is indeed very capable.
Zhu Chenggong also immediately explained his identity.
"King Yiyang has abdicated and returned to the feudal clan?"
"Chongming was captured by pirates Gu Rong and Huang Wuchang in a sneak attack?"
"You have tens of thousands of troops here now, are you willing to help?"
The more Zhu Chenggong listened, the happier he became. Although he had several Zheng-type double-decker gunboats, they were only vanguards and did not have many soldiers. The most elite of them only had 500 men in his standard battalion, and only 100 in the invulnerable Iron Man Army.
Facing Jingjiang City is also a bit difficult.
Shen Tingyang marveled at the strength of Lu Jianguo's Northern Expeditionary Army. With such a small vanguard, they dared to attack Jingjiang. He had been besieging it for so long and could not defeat it.
Shen Tingyang led Zhu Chenggong to meet with King Yiyang, Jing Benche, Tian Yang and others, and then gave Zhu Chenggong a surprise. He had previously besieged Jingjiang City, but he had prepared a lot of siege equipment. When he withdrew his troops, he put many The equipment was loaded directly onto the ship.
Now it can be used directly after being transported. There are catapults, ladders, battering rams, etc., which can be used after being transported and assembled.
With such a new force, the offensive surged again.
Shen Tingyang was unable to attack for a long time because his troops were incompetent.
Originally, he had a maritime transport brigade under his command. The transport ships were transformed into warships, the porters were transformed into soldiers, and the sailors were transformed into land warfare siege troops. The combat effectiveness was originally limited.
Now that they are coming again, with Zhu Chenggong's troops leading the charge, and even many Zheng's artillery to support them, the situation is immediately different.
Qin Dapeng was already complaining a lot about being bombarded. Unexpectedly, hundreds of boats suddenly arrived, bringing down tens of thousands of troops. Then many siege equipment were transported down and brought directly to the bottom of the city to start assembly.
Seeing that many ladders had been set up, I was completely panicked.
At that time, Liu Liangzuo's 100,000 troops surrendered in the face of the Qing army without firing an arrow. You know how cowardly they were.
Now that he saw how ferocious the Ming army was, and finally figured out that those soldiers were actually soldiers and horses of Jiangnan Admiral Zhu Wu, the ninth brother of the Puppet Lu Supervisory State, and even when Zheng's subordinate was the son of Zheng Zhilong of Fujian, this Dapeng immediately decided to retreat.
The wind is strong and blowing.
He was originally here to reinforce Jingjiang, and Jingjiang was not his defense area. He was the deputy general of Zhenjiang, Xiezhen, not the deputy general of Jingjiang.
He doesn't want to work hard here.
"withdraw!"
Without saying a word, Qin Dapeng and his men immediately retreated from the north gate, running faster than a rabbit. After Zhu Chenggong found out, he couldn't catch up with his troops, and watched helplessly as they ran across the boundary river and into Taixing territory.
