Chapter 1616
On the river surface, Zhou Li stood on the deck against the wind with his sword. Although the big ship is big, the river is rushing and crunching. Rooted under his feet, unwavering.
A small boat reported in front: "Jiangning Shuizhai fort and ships are destroyed."
Zhou Li hearing this, slightly nodded: "Okay. Drum, go ashore."
I heard the sound of drums shaking the sky, and countless boats no longer hesitated.
During the previous shelling, the Hengjiang iron cable was also untied one after another, and the Dongting navy never stopped it, so it went smoothly. At this time, except for the bustling wooden piles and iron piles standing under the water, there was no obstacle to the boat.
The densely packed boat was near the shore, and the bombardment was unknowing. As for the first boat landing, the bombardment stopped. Then came the loud blast, crackling like firecrackers.
The defenders counterattacked at this time, but they were sparse. Was easily attacked on the river bank.
More and more small boats arrived, and groups of soldiers stepped onto the solid ground, and the small boats returned to the north shore and brought more soldiers.
Shi Kefa's line of defense at Jiang'an failed to block a time and was breached. He ran away in embarrassment and rushed to the Great Victory Pass to set up a line of defense. As for Zhou Li's landing, more than tens of thousands of soldiers have gathered in this messy water village.
At this time, Zhou Li received the news from Black-clothed Guard.
"Shi Kefa retreated to the Great Victory Pass, but Jiang Ning was silent." The Black-clothed Guard person respectfully said: "According to inside information, Xu Wenjue was going to send troops to save Longtan, but was stopped by Ruan Dacheng and others."
Zhou Li hearing this, can’t help saying with a smile: “It seems misguided. Jiangning’s soldiers cannot come out without attacking.”
Black-clothed Guard said:” Although I cannot break the city without sending a pawn, my Black-clothed Guard is well prepared in the city. When the governor’s army arrives, the inside and the outside should unite, and it is easy to break the city."
If you go to the head, try to persuade those old soldiers to bring down the city wall at most, and no other damage will be caused."
"It's the best." Zhou Li said: "This time, the Black-clothed Guard has done a great job, after the war. The Lord must have a generous gift."
Black-clothed Guard said with a smile: "I can't wait to fight. The army is the main force."
Zhou Li laughed.
Then the general was summoned and said, "The plan to draw the snake out of the cave is lost. It seems that the Great Victory Pass cannot draw out the soldiers of Jiangning. The remnants of the previous dynasty are afraid of death, I am afraid that Shi Kefa's entire army If it is annihilated, there will not be a single soldier to help. So there is no need to wait any longer. According to the command of the governor, after crossing the river, the ministries will rest for a while, attack the victory at the hour, and limit the time to one hour, and then go straight to Jiangning!"
"Here!"
The sky is getting brighter, and the red sun in the east is gradually raised.
Long deep water village, Zheng Wu held Zheng Zhilong under the tent, which relieved the shackles, said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, haven't seen you for many years."
Zheng Zhilong is full of gunpowder, There is also blood on the face, very embarrassed. Hearing this raised his head, said with a bitter smile: "I was in Fujian when I met my brother, but now I am in front of my brother. I am really ashamed of this Zheng."
Zheng Wu said with a smile: "Two The army is fighting, and each is the leader. Brother Zheng does not need to be like this."
Zheng Zhilong also sighed in his heart. At the beginning, Zheng Wu was just Zheng Yunzhi's entourage. He called Zheng Yunzhi the elder brother, but never put Zheng Wu in his eyes. Now, where is also the qualification?
Long Deep Water Village is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. After Zheng Wu attacked Pill Apprentice, he immediately sent his troops to Longtan, and when he was near Mao, he and six thousand land troops attacked Longtan. However, the attack took two hours, and it was only after dawn.
It is really the danger of Long Deep Water Village, and Zheng Zhilong’s defense measures have no omissions. It can only attack by force and pull out its defensive facilities little by little before attacking the sandbar water village.
At that time, Zheng Zhilong's military strength was greatly damaged, and there was no room for resistance. No reinforcements. After being persuaded for a while, he surrendered.
In this battle, Zheng Zhilong's 20,000 naval division was damaged by more than half. Today, less than 10,000 people are still alive. Zheng Wu also suffered a loss. After all, it was not a land battle. In a water battle, once a ship was damaged, the chance of casualties was higher than that of a land battle.
On the one hand, Zheng Wu made people count the losses and captures of the battle, while on the other hand, they brought Zheng Zhilong to the front.
"Since the former Emperor Chongzhen abdicated, Great Ming has perished. Brother Zheng is also a hero across the world, how can he blend this muddy water? It is not wise." Zheng Wudao.
Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
It is nothing more than a greedy word.
He believed that the navy was invincible, and could not bear the temptation of a group of former courtiers. He believed that the trifling Yangtze River would be blocked by the navy forces with no difficulty. didn't expect to lose so fast.
said: "If Longtan is broken, the two water villages of Pill Apprentice and Chongming must not be spared." Paused, Zheng Zhilong said: "Chongming Water Village is my son Zheng Sen, and Pill Apprentice is my brother. Zheng Zhibao. I don’t know how to have a life?!"
Zheng Wudao: "Virtuous nephew Zheng Sen is in Jiangdu at this time. As for Ling's brother Zheng Zhibao, he has to apologize-when he broke the Pill Apprentice water village, the army was in trouble. In, he was already killed in battle."
In fact, he was killed by the Black-clothed Guard. The influence of Zheng Zhi's Long Family in the southeast coast is too great. As far as Ying Yi is concerned, as long as one Zheng Zhilong and one Zheng Sen are enough, nothing else is necessary.
Black-clothed Guard was killed.
In fact, if it hadn’t been because Zheng Zhilong’s naval officer was a ready-made navy member, even Zheng Zhilong would not let him live.
Leaving his life is to facilitate the integration of the Fujian navy.
When Zheng Zhilong heard it, while relaxed, he also secretly sighed. Zheng Zhibao's death was indeed helpless. Above the battlefield, nothing can be guaranteed. For him, Zheng Sen is alive.
"The current military affairs are heavy, so I won't gossip with Zheng brother." Zheng Wu called out and ordered Zheng Zhilong to take along to withdraw: "Brother Zheng rests a little longer, come back after the war."
Then a soldier and horse were left to guard the place and watch the prisoners. Zheng Wu immediately sent his troops up the river and went straight to the Jiangning River.
At this time, Zhou Li is on the verge of a big victory.
The Great Victory Pass was probably established in the Song Dynasty and was abandoned a long time ago. The old ministers of the previous dynasty reopened this place as the mainstay behind the Jiangning Water Village.
Shi Kefa has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed within the short line of defense centered on Dashengguan. After the rapid defeat of Jiangning Shui Village, Shi Kefa ordered all the ministries to enter the Great Victory Pass, trying to resist Zhou Li's attack by relying on the Great Victory Pass.
However, Shi Kefa himself has no confidence in this.
At the beginning, Fengyang Zhongdu's city could not withstand Xia Jun's attack, let alone trifling victory? The city was not high, the walls were not thick, the military spirit was uncertain, and the armaments were not well-developed. Faced with Zhou Li's onslaught, it only persisted for less than a quarter of an hour before being breached, and then surrendered.
Of course, it was not Shi Kefa who surrendered, but his generals.
Shi Kefa's dishevelled hair stood in front of Zhou Li, yelling. And Zhou Li smiled sternly, and said: "The pedantic people, the remnants of the previous dynasty, Shi Kefa, when you were in Fengyang, you did not leave you, where are you going to escape today?!"
Shi Kefa cursed: "The officer doesn't escape anywhere. Rebel, you go against it, one day skeleton doesn't exist!"
Zhou Li was furious and grabbed Shi Kefa: "Does the Governor Skeleton doesn't exist? You rotten scholar can't see it anymore!"
"Come on." He threw Shi Kefa on the ground: "Pull out and chop it!"
