"knew."

Li Jicheng nodded coldly.

The Hu Ben Navy has to deal with the maritime power of the Zheng family fleet. As for the land battle, it is the army's business. Speaking of which, the Suzaku Legion of the Hu Ben Army, Qiying and Taoying, are all near Yangzhou. In particular, the Suzaku Legion among them is the main force of the Hu Ben Army's future management of Jiangnan. It is most suitable for them to attack Nanjing City.

The commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion was Yin Fengyi. After the Qinglong Legion, Zhang Zhun ordered the formation of three new legions, namely Hao Linyong's White Tiger Legion, stationed in Zhuozhou; Yang Zixuan's Xuanwu Legion, stationed in Luoyang; and Yin Fengyi's Vermilion Bird Legion, stationed in Yangzhou.

After the expansion, these four legions have 6,250 soldiers, plus officers, artillery and auxiliary forces, and the total strength is nearly 10,000. It can be said that the mobile combat forces of the Tiger Ben Army are basically all in these four legions. The other troops are basically responsible for garrison tasks.

When Zheng Chenggong arrived in Nanjing, Yin Fengyi knew the news. Unfortunately, he commanded the army and could not pose an effective threat to Zheng Chenggong. Later, when Li Jicheng arrived, he could not help. The battle on the water was a matter for the navy.

After leading the troops to Jiangpu and Liuhe opposite Nanjing City, Yin Fengyi has been paying attention to the battle on the river. The battle between the Zheng family fleet and the Hu Ben Navy was indeed very fierce. Unfortunately, Yin Fengyi could not help, so he could only watch it for nothing. However, after the naval battle, it was the army's turn to take action.

The Zheng family fleet actually controlled Nanjing City in advance, which really made Yin Fengyi feel a little surprised. However, it didn't matter. It was not very difficult for the Hu Ben Army to attack Nanjing City. Before that, Yin Fengyi had already led his troops to practice many attacks on Nanjing City.

"The commander of the legion, the commander-in-chief is here!"

Just as he was full of confidence, Zhang Zhun's order came.

Zhang Zhun's order was very simple, which was to take over Nanjing City and then control Jiangnan.

Zhang Zhun did not write about how Zheng Chenggong and others dealt with it. The meaning of not writing was that you, Yin Fengyi, took care of it. Generally speaking, the meaning of doing it was to clean it up. Only dead people are the most reassuring.

"Set off!"

Yin Fengyi waved his hand and set off with the troops.

At this time, Li Jicheng also brought the warships of the First Fleet to the north bank of the Yangtze River, responsible for sending the Suzaku Legion to the south bank of the Yangtze River. The Suzaku Legion boarded the boat from the north bank and directly reached the shore of Nanjing City. Then, while moving, he launched an attack on Nanjing City.

The artillery battalion was the first to appear. The artillery battalion equipped by the Zhuque Legion was also equipped with 125 field artillery. The commander of the artillery battalion was Xu Ziwen. He ordered the artillery battalion to place the field artillery battalion in turn and bombard the Nanjing city in a brutal manner.

Although there are quite a few cannons on the top of Nanjing City, each city gate has thirty or forty, but there are no red-clothed cannons. The general Folang machine cannons have a range and power that are not as good as the field cannons of the Hu Ben Army. Therefore, from the beginning, the artillery battle between the two sides was the field cannons of the Hu Ben Army.

The black musket team of the Zheng family used the city walls of Nanjing to resist desperately. The mercenaries composed of these black slaves had good combat effectiveness at the beginning. However, under the fierce attack of the Suzaku Legion, they gradually could not hold on. Seriously, the weapons used by the black musket team were incomparable to the tiger gun with the rifled rifled gun.

On land, even the brutal Tartars were not the opponent of the Tiger Ben Army, let alone the Zheng family's musket team? After a few hours of fighting, the Zheng family's black musket team was wiped out more than a thousand people. When they saw that it was not a road, Zheng Chenggong wanted to retreat again. However, he was still the same as before, and was always unwilling to accept his failure.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came.

Zheng Chenggong turned his head and found that the outer Jinchuan gate was opened.

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army swarmed from the ruins. The black musket teams were a bit tough. They picked up the muskets and fought with the Tiger Ben Army. However, their number was too small, and they were all killed by the Tiger Ben Army soldiers.

“Huh?”

"A dark person?"

"Who are they? They are dirty!"

This was the first time that the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army saw a black man, and they couldn't help but make a fuss and talk a lot. In the Ming Dynasty, some white men had seen them, and most of them had never seen them. However, they just felt a little curious. After being curious, they continued to attack Zhong Fumen.
