Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 465 Bloody Battle in Wenzhou ([-])

The horse ran like flying through the clouds and was covered in sweat, but the general on the horse was still too slow, so he whipped his whip tightly, and shouted at the pedestrians on the road while whipping.The men, women and children on the road were so frightened that they dodged one after another. There was an old man with bad legs who was carrying a load.

But the general ignored the old man, still whipping his whip and galloping forward.

Lin Yi could see clearly from the city, and he had a premonition that Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian might have a bad start, so he hurriedly stopped him.

Lin Yi, Shi Lang, Xiaoying, Zhezhe and others went down from the top of the city, and stopped the general at the horse path at the gate of the city. People are dressed like the general banner of an army, in charge of 50 people, which can be regarded as the most basic military officer in Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Lin Yi and the others, the man quickly fell to his knees with a plop, out of breath, and said, "Report, my lord, something is wrong. The villain is Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's subordinates. We are defeated. Both Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were captured, and they had defected and surrendered. We suffered heavy casualties and our entire army was wiped out..."

Although Ji Dong had expected it, his face changed when he heard this. Although he was not good at expressing joy, he had the calmness of not being surprised when Mount Tai collapsed, but within two days after the ten thousand troops were out, they lost everything. Cai and Zheng Lian defected to the enemy?
Ever since Ji Dong crossed over, even since he put on the military uniform, including before crossing, he had never fought such a miserable defeat.

At this time, Shi Lang couldn't hold back his face anymore, and blurted out curses, "I've seen them two for a long time, and my lord should have killed them back then. They were ungrateful, scrambling, surrendering to this one today, to that one tomorrow, and then to me. In his hands, they must be chopped into eight pieces, please punish the country's lord."

Shi Lang said with shame on his face, and knelt down to Lin Yi.

"What is the general's crime? What happened to the two of them has nothing to do with you."

Of course Lin Yi couldn't convict Shi Lang, because it was Shi Lang's subordinate. When he sent troops, he had already asked himself for instructions, and he nodded his approval.

You can't learn from Emperor Chongzhen and use your supreme imperial power to only claim credit for yourself. If you make a mistake, you will blame your ministers for your crimes.In the end, all the officials were wise and wise and did not dare to speak out. The treacherous officials took power and harmed the country.

What Chongzhen left him was a living textbook. Lin Yi must be clear that even if he has supreme power, he cannot abuse it.In the textbook of his previous life, Li Shimin also told him a long time ago that the king is a boat, and the subjects are water, and water can carry a boat or overturn it.

Shi Lang was very grateful, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Shi Lang is not talented. I would like to lead a team out of the city to resist the enemy. If I see Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, these two scumbags, I will definitely kill them. Please issue an order."

Lin Yi shook his head. It's not that he didn't believe in Shi Lang, but he felt that he couldn't easily send troops anymore, because he knew that although Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were not good in character, their abilities were not low.

Being able to eat his 1 horses in one battle shows that the comers are too unkind.The art of war says that knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. We must figure out how Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's [-] troops lost their battles.

Lin Yi asked the chief banner official who reported the incident in detail, and the general banner explained the incident in detail...

Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were ordered to lead [-] soldiers out of the city to kill the enemy. The two of them felt that their faces were very honorable. They had so many soldiers who were used to fighting, and being able to send them out showed that Lord Jian Guo had great trust. and respect them.

The two felt very honored, and vowed to cherish this opportunity, go there to fight a big victory, make meritorious deeds, and seal their wives and sons.What an honor that would be!
Now the defeat of the Confederate Army is certain.In front of the Ming army, it was simply vulnerable.The Confederate armies everywhere are winning battles, especially their troops, no matter whether it is the navy or the army on the shore, as soon as the soldiers arrive, the Confederate army has only two words, either fleeing or surrendering.Who doesn't want to fight such a victory, this credit is as cheap as picking it up for nothing.

This time I finally got it, the fifth son of the Zheng family is nothing special, he was indeed brilliant when he was 18 years old, but now times have changed, decades have passed, their era has passed!
Therefore, the two brothers were full of enthusiasm, ordered Qi soldiers and horses to be mighty, and they were less than 40 miles out of the city to facilitate the encounter of the Southern Army.

The two sides set up a battlefield in the wild. The Southern Army had a total of 7 soldiers on the shore this time. Of course, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian faced their front, with a total of 3000 elite soldiers.

It is also Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian who have won consecutive battles since they surrendered. More importantly, because they are indeed very skilled in martial arts, and they are well-known for leading troops in battle. Lin Yi admired Shi Lang's competent generals, so they didn't pay attention to the 3000 troops of the Southern Army.

The commander-in-chief of these 3000 soldiers and horses is Chen Liangcheng. Chen Liangcheng is not well-known, but his father is Chen Zhongji. As we all know, Zheng Zhilong's 18 heroes who made a fortune in his early years are called Shibazhi.

In fact, there are far more than these 18 people who worshiped Zheng Zhilong. When he was in Japan in the early years, Zheng Zhilong was a person who was not afraid of anything. In Japan, they had a total of 26 people who swore. Things came to light and they fled to Taiwan.This Chen Zhongji is one of the 26 life and death brothers Zheng Zhilong worshiped in Japan. Like Zheng Zhilong, he is also the leader of an armed group of pirates and maritime merchants.

Later, Chen Zhongji died in Taiwan, and his son Chen Liangcheng came to the mainland to join Zheng Zhilong. When Zheng Zhilong saw him, he remembered the past and took special care of him. Imperial military generals group.

This time when Zheng Zhibao went to the expedition, the vanguard officer fell on Chen Liangcheng. Chen Liangcheng was not very old, he was 23 or [-] years old this year, and he completely inherited his father's ruthless character.

And this time he has 800 special helpers. These people are from island countries. They are not soldiers but not in military uniform. They all wear black robes and gowns. They are different from the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.These 800 people were submerged behind 3000 people, and they were not conspicuous at all.

After all, the wild battlefield is different from the tough battle, and does not require artillery support. What matters is that the brave wins when the two armies meet.There was a sense of superiority in their hearts, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers, so Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian commanded their soldiers and horses to charge and kill them.

When the soldiers reached [-], the Ming army rushed over like overwhelming mountains and seas.

Chen Liangcheng commanded 3000 southern troops to meet the enemy. Seeing the ferocious approach of the Ming army, he immediately ordered the archers and musketeers to start shooting.

Papapa, the southern army also has muskets, but they are too backward. These muskets are not of the same level as Ji Dong's muskets. However, the ten thousand troops led by Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian are not equipped with the most advanced new muskets. At a distance of about [-] meters, the main hope is to hit the bow and arrow.

Where the muskets fired, smoke filled the air, but few people were shot.

The southern army fired arrows, while the Ming army charged and shot arrows. The arrows flowed like rain, and people on both sides kept falling.

But the Ming army was not afraid of death, and rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and the two sides started a hand-to-hand fight.

3000 to [-], but Chen Liangcheng knows it well. Although he has never dealt with these Japanese ronin, he has heard from his father that his father Chen Zhongji has experienced it personally. Japan advocates martial arts. Judo and kendo are very famous, and masters come forth in large numbers. .

He is now counting on the ronin of these island nations.He also wanted to see how powerful these hundreds of Japanese ronin were, anyway, he felt that they were extremely arrogant.

The 3000 Ming troops shouted and fought with the [-] Southern troops.Of course, this Wanming army is not Lin Yi's standard battalion, invincible battalion, guard battalion, and women's battalion.It is mainly composed of local Ming army officers and soldiers, that is, the old Ming army, as well as those who surrendered from the Southern army, which are actually considered the old Ming army.

In other words, in terms of combat effectiveness, the two teams are at the same level.

More than 1 horses from both sides shouted like a wave, and they slashed at each other.

Just when the Ming army outnumbered the enemy by three times and was about to gain the absolute upper hand, 800 Japanese ronin attacked. Facing the [-] Ming army, they came as if no one was there, and the Japanese swords in their hands shone forcibly.One by one, like hungry wolves rushing to eat, like a gust of wind, they joined the battlefield.

These oriental men were indeed brave and extraordinary. When their figures flashed, sharp blades hooted, the sound of the impact of weapons and the sound of sharp blades piercing through armor and flesh were mixed together, mixed with screams, and blood was like splashing.

In the blink of an eye, the Ming army, which had already gained the upper hand, was suddenly counterattacked by the enemy. There were casualties everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river. dripping.

The Ming army couldn't resist these Japanese ronin at all, it was like a tug-of-war match, the difference in strength was huge, and the Ming army retreated with a bang.

Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were taken aback. They were three times the enemy and couldn't win?How did Zheng Zhilong move the Japanese ronin here?No matter what, today's battle must be won.Otherwise, how can I explain to Lord Jian Guo when I go back?
Therefore, the second general charged forward in person. Both of them had two-toothed harpoons in their hands, but this is a sharp weapon for killing people. It is no longer a spear, but made of pure metal. The two of them danced the harpoons like flying. Before the battle, the morale was boosted, and the Ming army rushed forward again, fighting with 3000 southern troops and 800 oriental warriors.

It was as impossible for these oriental warriors to kill Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian as if they were soldiers under their command. During the melee, several oriental warriors were treated as big fish by Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian.

Taro Miyamoto, Masao Ono and Makiko Tagawa, who were watching the battle from behind, were furious when they saw it. Masao Ono and Makiko Tagawa flew over and joined the battle. As a result, there was no match, and they were in front of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian in the blink of an eye.

The two generals swung their harpoons and stabbed. Masao Ono did not dodge or dodge, and stabbed in the stomach with a bang. Ono's stomach was fine, and Zheng Cai was ejected a somersault. A stabbing, a scream, blood spattering...

Here, Zheng Lian fought against Makiko Tagawa. It was said that it was a big battle, but it was only one match. Zheng Lian's harpoon was suppressed by Makiko's sword, and then he put the sword on his neck with a backhand, "Don't move!"

Zheng Lian was dumbfounded. He didn't expect these ronin to be so powerful. When he saw his brother was stabbed and blood spattered, Zheng Lian shouted: "Don't kill my brother...we are willing to surrender..."

After hearing this, Ono did not stab the second time, and Makiko did not take Zheng Lian's life...

"Oriental people? Zheng Zhilong even colluded with Oriental people?" Lin Yi gritted his teeth, "The Standard Battalion, Invincible Battalion, Guards Battalion and Women's Battalion will go out of the city with the prison country to face the enemy! Shi Lang immediately boarded the ship with the sailors, ready to face the enemy!" Sailor."

"No." All the generals followed the order one after another.
