Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zheng Zhifeng finally moved!

    Target - Xiamen!

    Xiamen guard Guan Xiaocang set up a strange formation. Instead of putting all his troops in Xiamen, he personally took half of Xiamen's troops and a thousand men guarded the Luangzikou outside Xiamen!

    There is a hill at the prodigal entrance, and Guan Xiaocang placed his command post here, which is equivalent to putting himself directly on the front line opposite Zheng Zhifeng

    ?¡­

    At this time, Zheng Zhifeng knew that he had mostly infantry, but after all, he only had so many. If he captured the Luangzikou in one fell swoop the next day, there would probably be no battle.  This was discussed with Zheng Zhifeng before departure, and Zheng Zhifeng executed it meticulously.

    Zheng Zhifeng did not expect that the dispatch of troops this time was surprisingly smooth, and no effective resistance was encountered. The Ming Dynasty officials in small counties all over the country fled and surrendered.  He wanted to re-appoint officials from various places, which made Zheng Zhifeng's head a bit big

    More than two hours later, news reached Guan Xiaocang that the enemy was approaching.  Liu Hedong, who was guarding Liu Hedong under Guan Xiaocang, immediately ordered all his troops to keep their clothes on, their horses on their saddles, and enter combat mode.

    A spy came back half an hour later, reporting Zheng Zhifeng¡¯s location

    Suddenly there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and raindrops hit Guan Xiaocang's face, rolling down to his mouth, with a hint of bitterness and a hint of nervousness.  The current situation can only be said to be planned by people and accomplished by God

    Guan Xiaocang looked at Liu Hedong, who was also frowning in thought.

    Fortunately, the rain did not start, like that child.  After crying a few times, she stopped crying when she saw the candy coming to her mouth.  Is God testing Guan Xiaocang's will?

    Wait, can only wait, Guan Xiaocang¡¯s heart is burning Nervous, depressed, restless Guan Xiaocang is praying

    Another spy came back to report that Zheng Zhifeng was approaching.  Liu Hedong has commanded most of the troops to move to the back of the mountains on both sides of the official road. If Zheng Zhifeng does not stop, he will attack.  People from all walks of life will immediately enter their predetermined positions.

    Guan Xiaocang is looking forward to the news.  Each department has moved accordingly behind the two mountains and chosen to wait at a place relatively close to their scheduled location.

    It was getting dark, and the spies came to report.  Zheng Zhifeng entered Lin County and seemed to have no intention of continuing. Others were watching.

    Zheng Zhifeng finally settled in Lin County.  Guan Xiaocang was relieved.  God is also helping Xiaocang. After a few raindrops fell, the crescent moon and a few stars showed charming smiles.

    Before dawn, all ministries had entered their designated positions.  In fact, it is not complicated. There are 100 people arranged on the mountain south of the entrance, with General Fang Mingliang in charge. As long as all the enemies enter the ambush circle, put down burning rolling logs to block the road, then go east and put down a certain amount of burning rolling logs.  and ignited the sagebrush on both sides of the road.  Also arrange a hundred people at the corner.  When a fire breaks out at the entrance, this area is also used to cross the road and light the rolling logs, and then light the wormwood on both sides of the official road, which can burn half of it.  Five hundred people were arranged on the north mountain of the eastern section, taking the fire as a signal.  Stones and rolling logs fall down, killing as many as they can.  The exit was sealed with rolling logs and stones, or it was more secure to seal it with fire.  In this way, the enemy will inevitably run towards the mountains to the south, where a large group of troops will gather.  Directed by Liu Hedong.

    Everything is ready, only the enemy is coming.  It's daybreak and the sun is rising.  Each department is well hidden and difficult to find when walking on the official road.  There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and a man dressed as a hunter rushed towards Guan Xiaocang.

    Guan Xiaocang is still self-aware. He doesn¡¯t want to kill him with a knife, but he also doesn¡¯t want to stay in a mountain village.  Hiding on the mountain to the south not far from the exit, he prepared a drum. When they started playing, Guan Xiaocang wanted to beat the drum to cheer him up.

    Chu Ming led the hunter to him, who turned out to be a spy.

    "The enemy has already been dispatched and is heading towards Dangzikou. It is estimated that they will arrive in less than an hour."

    Guan Xiaocang's heart came to Noise's eyes again, and the critical moment had arrived

    ?¡­

    Zheng Zhifeng urged the team to move quickly, and did not encounter any resistance along the way. She was also a little complacent. Her eldest brother valued her and she did not embarrass him.  Riding on the horse, he called out: "Brothers, hurry up and go to Xiamen for a day off. You can have enough food and wine."

    Once he heard this, the soldier walked with more energy.

    When Zheng Zhifeng reached the entrance of the prodigal son, he felt that the terrain was unfavorable and it was better to be careful.

    "Yu Yuan, take five hundred people to see it."

    "The general will obey the order."

    Yu Yuan was even more proud. The general had ordered him to go and he had to go. If there was anything to see, even if there was resistance along the way, they all huddled in the state capital to defend the city and did not dare to come out.

    Yu Yuan walked seven or eight miles and looked around on both sides of the mountain to see what was there. He saw nothing. He was almost at the exit of Langzikou.  Yu Yuan reined in his horse. The front was quite open and he could see it at a glance.After traveling for more than ten miles, he said to the messenger: "Go and report to the general that everything is safe."

    Zheng Zhifeng shouted: "Let's go"

    The large troops entered the prodigal mouth.  The team of 10,000 people was huge.  As the saying goes: if there are 10,000 people, there will be no boundaries; if there are 100,000 people, the world will stretch to the sky.

    The forwards were five thousand infantrymen, in the middle were the heavy men, escorted by more than three thousand people, and the rearguard were two thousand infantrymen commanded by Zheng Zhilong himself.

    At this time, Fang Mingliang warned the soldiers not to act rashly and to listen to his orders.  Watching Zheng Jiajun move forward without any precautions.  I feel happy in my heart. Your Excellency has such a clever plan.

    Counting that there were ten thousand people in the past, when the last person entered the mountain pass, Fang Mingliang looked to the west, and when he could no longer see the shadow of Zheng Jiajun, he let out a loud roar.

    "Brothers, release the rolling logs."

    In an instant, the burning and some unburned logs rolled towards the mountain pass. Suddenly, more than three to four hundred logs were piled up at the mountain pass. The logs smeared with butter and rosin also burned and spread to all directions.  .

    What season is this?  The weeds and shrubs have exhausted the last drop of water. When dry wood encounters the fire, flames rise into the sky in an instant.

    Fang Mingliang saw that it was almost done. The fire would not go out within two or three hours, and it would be impossible for anyone to get out from here.  Then the command post headed west along the mountain, walking as it did.  While firing rockets on both sides of the official road at the bottom of the mountain, they ignited the prepared rolling logs and threw them down the mountain.

    There was a fire over there, and Li Shangzhong, the commander at the corner, also made a move, threw down the rolling wood, and lit the wormwood on fire.  The soldiers at the exit also threw down logs and stones in a matter of moments.  The pile at the exit was as high as two people, and there was a huge flame, and I wanted to get out.  It¡¯s harder than reaching the sky.

    The five hundred people led by Yu Yuan were not sealed inside, and trouble broke out later.  He was also stunned there.

    The 500,000 soldiers in Beishan didn't need to take aim. They threw watermelon-sized rocks and rolling logs at the bottom of the mountain.  For a time, Zheng Jiajun was dying and injured. He had nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide. He was crying for his father and mother, howling like ghosts and wolves, and was in chaos.

    Zheng Zhifeng was stunned by this sudden change, but she reacted immediately.  He was ambushed.  Within a moment of looking at it, nearly half of his soldiers were dead or injured, but those who were in the fire still didn't know what happened, and they were shocked in their hearts.  I couldn't believe that Fujian could have such a powerful general except Ding Yunyi.

    ??????????????????????? Immediately shouted, "Brothers, rush to the south hillside!"

    It was so sudden that Zheng Jiajun was confused.  An arrogant soldier will be defeated. This is a truth that has existed since ancient times.  Even if they are not proud soldiers, they come all the way.  It went so smoothly that they never imagined that someone would intercept them halfway, including Zheng Zhifeng.

    The chaos stopped. Zheng Jiajun reacted and rushed toward the south hillside with swords and guns. The horses were no longer needed.  Zheng Zhifeng led the remaining several thousand soldiers and had just rushed to about 100 meters when a large number of Ming troops appeared on the mountainside.

    Zheng Zhifeng shouted: "If you retreat, you will die. If you rush out of the hillside, you will survive. Brothers, fight your way out, rush!"

    As soon as Liuhedong's flag was waved, the Ming army opened fire, muskets and bows and arrows greeted Zheng's army. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire and arrows like rain.  Zheng Jiajun also rushed and shot at the same time.

    Liu Hedong didn¡¯t know Zheng Zhifeng, but when he saw Zheng Zhifeng carrying a broadsword and charging forward, he felt like he was the boss.  Shoot people first and shoot horses, and order the soldiers to greet Zheng Zhifeng.

    Zheng Zhifeng used a broadsword to strike at the cold arrow and rushed upward with all her strength.  A bullet hit his thigh, he staggered slightly, and his tall body stood on the ground with a single sword.

    The soldiers behind him swarmed up, trying to step forward to protect the frame.  The bullets and rain of arrows caused most of the soldiers to fall beside Zheng Zhifeng.  The remaining soldiers pulled Zheng Zhifeng back.

    Guan Xiaocang was watching the battle on the mountain. He was so happy that the battle was going so smoothly that he forgot about beating drums to cheer.

    Yu Yuan outside the mountain pass also launched an attack, but he did not enter the battlefield directly, but attacked Nanshan on the Guan Xiaocang side.

    It turns out that something unexpected happened, and Yu Yuan was there to observe the situation after a brief panic.  He has a small number of people, so he is thinking about how to make these 500 people effective.  I found that there were few people on Guan Xiaocang's side. It seemed that someone was guarding someone and watching the battle. He should be the leader of this team.

    Yu Yuan thought about it and decided to take a gamble and lead his men to attack this side slightly.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT  There are fewer and fewer people around, and the Ming army is getting closer.  He was unwilling to give in and commanded the Zheng army to counterattack.  But there was no way to save the situation. The Ming army had surrounded him, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.

    It seems that the defeat has been decided. I hate it in my heart. I was too careless. The great waves of the river have washed over me. Today I capsized the boat.  How do I communicate with my eldest brother???Ah.  There are only a few hundred people around me, alas!  Zheng Zhifeng let out a long sigh and wanted to kill himself with a knife.

    However, his subordinates hugged Zheng Zhifeng and said, "Third Master, you must not do this. Victory or defeat is determined by fate. We can still pack things up and come back again!"

    Zheng Zhifeng let out a long sigh and put down the steel knife in his hand

    However, Guan Xiaocang was not much better at this time.  Guan Xiaocang was on the southern hillside, still happy, wondering what suspense there was about this battle.

    Suddenly, a guard shouted, "There are enemies!"

    I saw more than 500 Zheng family troops coming up from the bottom of the mountain. At this time, they were already quite close.  There was a lively fight over there, everyone was watching the battle, and no one noticed that the enemy was here.

    The captain of the guard was shocked and sweating profusely. He had no time to think and ordered the guards to defend themselves.  Suddenly, there was loud gunfire and black smoke.  After killing more than ten Zheng Jiajun, a hand-to-hand battle took place.

    Four to one, although these guards were loyal and brave, it was their first time on the battlefield after all. At the slightest contact, they all retreated, unable to resist.  Two loyal guards protected Guan Xiaocang and also retreated.

    Guan Xiaocang pointed with his hand. Wei Zhiyuan understood and stepped forward to beat the drum.  One is to boost morale, and the other is to deliver a message to Liu Hedong down the mountain.

    What should I do? Go back. The further back you go, the farther away you are from the main force. Moreover, there are enemies on three sides, so you can only run to the top of the mountain. It seems that running is not an option.  The only way is to rush forward, fight a bloody path, run down the mountain, and it will be safe when you join the large army.  Guan Xiaocang told the two guards his intention to launch a counterattack, and the two of them supported Guan Xiaocang and moved closer to the main force.

    Here, the guards yelled at the top of their lungs to stop the retreating soldiers.

    One of the guards shouted: "Brothers, follow me and break through the enemy siege. You will be safe at the bottom of the mountain."

    The captain of the guard also shouted: "Brothers, charge at me, anyone who retreats will die."

    These guards also understood what the general meant, and unconsciously formed a circle, wrapping and protecting Guan Xiaocang, and rushed towards the enemy like a group.

    "But, this is a battlefield, and it is a battle with huge disparity in power. It is too difficult to truly protect a person safely.  Fortunately, when Yu Yuan made a sneak attack, he wanted to surround these people. The team was spread out and formed a fan shape.

    The few people at the front fought desperately. Although there were fewer soldiers around them, the two people with red eyes who were killed by the Zheng family army were frightened and retreated one after another.

    At this time, a Zheng Jiajun came in from behind and slashed at Guan Xiaocang with his sword.  Maybe they saw that Guan Xiaocang was in the middle of the team and was the target of protection, so they wanted to kill the leader Guan Xiaocang, which was also the purpose of their coming here.

    Guan Xiaocang swung his knife to block it, but the Zheng Jiajun was clever and stabbed Guan Xiaocang in the abdomen. Guan Xiaocang ducked out of the way and didn't pay attention to his feet. He was tripped by a stone and fell to the ground.

    This Zheng Jiajun was happy, followed up two steps, and slashed at Guan Xiaocang with his sword.

    At this time, the head of the guard's eyes were burning. He killed a big Zheng Jiajun leader who was fighting with him with a knife. He used the back of his knife to separate the Zheng Jiajun's blade. He flew up and kicked the Zheng Jiajun ten steps away. He raised Guan Xiaocang and faced the guards.  Get closer.

    The guards in front had already cut their way out, escorting Guan Xiaocang as he ran down the mountain.

    It was too dangerous. To be honest, as soon as he rushed into the battlefield, this kind of life and death fight made Guan Xiaocang's mind go blank, and his face became numb and confused.  There is no talk of reason, no talk of strategy and wisdom, all we can do is instinctive thinking and actions

    Guan Xiaocang was carried by the guards like a dead man and ran down the mountain. Not far away, the troops coming down from the mountain came up.

    "Brothers, kill, don't let an enemy escape." At this time, such a cry rang out on the battlefield again.

    With the passage of time, the Ming army became more and more numerous, and the Zheng family's army became less and less, and there was no suspense on the battlefield.  Yu Yuan was hacked to death, and none of his five hundred people survived!
