Chapter 401 Zheng Chenggong rushes to Qiuyue
The Qing army's offensive became more and more fierce, like a tide of anger in waves.
The Ming army on the top of the city gradually couldn't hold on.
Although Minzhuang and the local brave men had joined the queue of defending the city, Zheng Jing still felt that he was not capable enough.
It is obvious that Shi Lang has invested almost all of his troops.
There were vultures hovering in the sky, and they landed on the bodies of soldiers who had just died and were pecking and biting them unscrupulously. There were corpses everywhere here, and it was a feast for vultures.
The Qing army continued to put pressure on the city wall desperately.
The Ming army united as one, desperately driving the Qing soldiers who rushed forward.
But the Qing soldiers were like gophers. They had just killed this one, and another one appeared over there, as if they could never finish it.
"Damn Tartars, a few more are coming here!"
Zheng Kui spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, rushed up with a big knife.
At present, except for the dozens of Qing soldiers defending Zheng Jing, basically everyone at the front of the city wall was involved in the battle.
Zheng Kui is naturally no exception.
"The dogs and Tartars are impatient to live, so I will give you a trip to you grandpa."
Zheng Kui waved the sword in his hand and slashed at the neck of a burly Qing soldier.
Seeing this, the Qing soldier instinctively retreated, but in this way, the soldiers standing behind him were in trouble.
Many Qing soldiers were directly squeezed down from the city and fell to death with screams.
Some of them were lucky enough to not fall down, but they were instantly cut into mud by the Ming army that rushed up because of their loss of position.
Zheng Kui's attack seemed reckless, but in fact it stabilized the precarious situation, allowing the Ming army to breathe a sigh of relief again.
Zheng Jing couldn't be happy. Although he barely held on, how long can it last?
The Qing army had already formed a siege, and it was impossible to defend by relying on defense.
But he really can't be too demanding of the soldiers, after all, the soldiers have already paid all of them.
"Your Highness, look at the fleet, the fleet is coming from the west!"
A soldier suddenly shouted happily.
Zheng Jing looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a navy fleet composed of hundreds of ships.
The Ming Dynasty flag was hung on the boat, and there were also big characters from Zheng. In addition, they came from the upstream direction, Zheng Jing could already be sure that this was the return of his father!
Not easy, it's really not easy.
Zheng Jing was deeply moved, and tears were already spinning in his eyes.
My father came back in time. If it was later, it would be too late.
"Soldiers, the father is here to save us. Everyone should work hard to drive all the Tartars down!"
Zheng Jing shouted, and the already exhausted Ming soldiers were all energetic.
Okay, you Shi Lang dog thief will take advantage of the union of our Zheng family's soldiers here to show off your power.
Now that your highness is back, I see if you dare to act rashly.
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill all these two Tartars!"
"For the Ming Dynasty, for Your Highness!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Amid the neat shouts, Ming Jun seemed to be reborn and no longer felt tired.
The Qing army who finally killed the city was stunned. What does this mean? Why do you feel that the Ming army suddenly changed like a different person?
Faced with the fierce and fierce offensive, the Qing soldiers could not resist the defeat and retreat step by step.
...
...
Shi Lang, who was on the flagship, naturally discovered this change.
Zheng Chenggong's navy was coming by them, which made Shi Lang feel very nervous.
Although his previous sarcasm was so loud that his navy was not under Zheng Chenggong's navy, and if the two armies were facing each other, they could at least fight 50.
But that's all said to be a fool. If there is a fight, Shi Lang would not have much confidence to defeat Zheng Chenggong.
But now that I have fought halfway, it is impossible to withdraw my troops directly, right?
If Zheng Chenggong came, he would surrender, what would the soldiers think? What would Ma Fengzhi think? What would Lang Tingzuo think? What would the imperial court and Emperor Shunzhi think?
These consequences are something Shi Lang must consider and must not be left alone.
"call!"
Shi Lang exhaled a breath of turbid air, and Ma Fengzhi, who was standing beside him, urged him: "What should General Shi do now?"
After several rounds of analysis, Shi Lang has already made a scheming.
"Send the order and the entire navy will change directions and prepare for the battle!"
Although Zheng Chenggong is here, this battle still needs to be fought.
He may not necessarily fail.
After Shi Lang ordered the flag officer to immediately whisper the flag, and the Qing soldiers on the other ships turned around seeing this.
They were in the downstream, and the Ming army led by Zheng Chenggong rushed down from the upstream, and Zheng Chenggong had a more dominant momentum.
But Shi Lang felt that as long as they stood in advance, they might not be far behind.
"Start a fire!"
Under Shi Lang's order, the Qing army navy pointed the muzzles at the Zheng family navy not far away.
With a command, hundreds of small cannons were shot together, and they were full of momentum.
This kind of artillery bombardment during the water battle is obviously more powerful than the bombardment of the city wall.
This is mainly a matter of angle. During water war, the angle of artillery is adjusted just right, and the shells can effectively kill and injure the enemy.
Seeing this, the Zheng family navy on the opposite side did not show any weakness, and under Zheng Chenggong's order, he fired a volley to fight back.
Zheng Chenggong has always been a person who says what he says. He said that he must bear to bear Shi Lang with his own hands, and he will definitely do it.
Unexpectedly, Shi Lang actually ate the ambitious leopard and dared to come to him on his own initiative.
That's fine, Zheng Chenggong wants to see how many moves he Shi Lang can do.
"Shut off fire! Blow me hard!"
In comparison, the artillery equipped by Zheng Chenggong Navy is sharper and has a faster firing rate.
In this large-scale water war, this obviously has a great advantage.
After several rounds of blasts, the number of Ming army's warships sunk by the Ming army was obviously larger than that of Qing army's warships.
Shi Lang lost blood in the war, but fortunately, there are more people, more ships, more faults and more.
If he replaces this ratio, he may not be dead.
However, Zheng Chenggong obviously did not intend to give Shi Lang a chance to breathe. After gaining the advantage, he immediately ordered the navy to launch a charge.
The river surface of the Zhenjiang Yangtze River section is very wide and can accommodate many Soufu ships sailing at the same time.
Zheng Chenggong is ready for a battle on the sidelines and wants to fight Shi Lang to the death.
Shi Lang was obviously frightened by this decisive aura.
Zheng Chenggong fought so hard?
But now he has no other choice but to continue fighting, and it is too late to escape.
"The whole army is in line and ready to face the enemy!"
Overall, there is not much difference between water wars and naval wars on the river surface, but the wide sea area is more beneficial to change the formation and escape is also convenient.
It’s different on the Yangtze River. The failed party is likely to be chased by the other party and roll to death.
So Shi Lang will do his best to fight to the death.
