Chapter 11 The foggy situation (III)

Hong Chengchou was not only injured, but also had a very minor injury. If his newly adopted son Hai Hongying had not sacrificed his life to save him, he might have died first after he went to the army.

Who would have thought that when the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Daqian made great achievements in military affairs, the commander of Qin Ruhai, the Qiantang commander had already defected to Zheng Zhilong, and Qiantang County had been secretly controlled by Zheng Zhilong. In name, there were only two thousand garrisons in the county (at most 200 in the inland, a heavy city for coastal defense, and naturally many soldiers were responsibilities). In fact, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed, with sufficient soldiers and enough food. As soon as Hong Chengchou arrived at An, he was caught off guard. Fortunately, he borrowed two thousand soldiers and horses from Chen Guang, and the entire firearms army had the upper hand.

Qin Ruhai could not have expected that the one who came ashore was not his master's men, but the landing army of the court in the north. He suddenly became furious and rushed to fight. Although he was well-trained, he first relied on the advantage of the local people and some of the advantages. It was at this time that Hong Chengchou was almost cut off and dismembered by Qin Ruhai's son Qin Kun. The newly adopted son Hai Hongying, who was with him, lifted up a bamboo pole to block him. Although Hong Chengchou was a Jinshi, he was also a civil and military practitioner. He had been commanding the army for many years and had some ability to write. In desperation, he ignored his identity and used the "Rolling to the Donkey" to barely avoid Qin Kun's fatal sword. In this way, he seriously injured his right arm.

Although Qin Ruhai had more troops and horses under him, the landing troops led by Hong Chengchou were also very well trained, with resistance to advance and retreat, and had a very famous general style, but his strength was orderly. Hong Chengchou was originally a famous general, and a fearful butcher of murder and butcher. He was undoubtedly one of the most shining military commanders in the Ming army. A mere Qin Ruhai was enough to make him afraid. Soon, under his painful command, and with the support of artillery fire on the fleet, Qin Ruhai's spear and knife in his hand.

The sword was no match at all, and gradually stabilized its position and quickly gained the upper hand. At this time, Chen Guang could not be out of the matter (in order to avoid exposing his identity, Chen Guang ordered the Chinese treasure ship to follow him from afar, and he and Hong Chengchou and others to board the Sea Shark), and ordered that all the combatants, except the gunners and sailors who were operating the artillery, participated in the landing battle, and suddenly surpassed Qin Ruhai in terms of troops. Soon, the initiative of the war was captured by Hong Chengchou.

The battle was extremely cruel, and the hot and cold weapons were duel. The use of new hot weapons not only gave the enemy a vivid war lesson, but also opened the eyes of Hong Chengchou, who was commanding the battle. It turned out that war could be fought like this. Although some formations and tactics did not lose their original effects, they became more detailed and more precise.

Seven or eight, ten people were in a battle group, covering, crossing, and fire support. The weapons in their hands were different, including new type of mesh guns, new type of Franchise cannons, crossbow arrows, etc. Everyone had their own tasks, some defense, some assaults, some sneak attacks, and one or two bombers in the middle, black, seemed to be thrown out with a "slip" and landed in the enemy group. With a "bang", three or five people were injured or blown away. Although their power was not as powerful as artillery, in the hands of a single soldier, the power of this "grenade cannon" was already amazing. Hong Chengchou also knew that the emperor would spend money to relocate Wanggong Factory and secretly researched

He made many new weapons, including this improved "grenade cannon". He also knew its power, but he did not expect it to be so great in actual combat, especially in terms of tactics, small troops cooperated organically, and the battle mode of elite troops completely broke the charge mode of large troops. Moreover, this lethality would be great and fierce. Of course, Hong Chengchou also noticed that the biggest prerequisite for the transformation of this kind of combat method is to have these strange-shaped and amazingly powerful firearms. When he thought that these firearms were developed by the emperor himself, as well as the new army that the emperor personally participated in training, and those tactics, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel invincible.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain. Hong Chengchou's thousands of men had just experienced a brutal baptism at sea. Those who survived were all elite soldiers, especially after the victory, they were full of spirits and morale. They all wanted to add another point to the last war merit paper, and on land, they had fewer concerns, so they killed Qin Ruhai's soldiers and horses.

Qin Ruhai is worthy of being a famous general of the coastal defense. Among his five thousand men, 3,000 of which were newly recruited, and most of them were secretly provided by Zheng Zhilong through some channels. These three thousand men were trained for less than a year. Although they were able to fight, they were far inferior to the two thousand men under his direct line. Therefore, although Hong Chengchou had a fierce offensive, he did not directly hurt him. He died basically among the three thousand men provided by Zheng Zhilong. Qin Ruhai was not stupid. He risked his life to surrender to Zheng Zhilong. He could not keep himself to protect himself. Therefore, although he was temporarily in a reversal, at least he still had the ability to protect himself. At worst, he could abandon Qiantang and escape to Lin'an. Anyway, this imperial army must have a purpose in landing in Qiantang. Escape to Lin'an might be the first to report this news. Not only can he get rid of the blame, but he can also have the opportunity to make a comeback.

Qiantang is just a small town. Although the city defense is still strong, it has not been in war for decades. Unexpectedly, Qin Ruhai is still a little tricky. With his identity as a commander, the people of Qiantang believed his words before they could understand the situation and regarded the landing army led by Hong Chengchou as Japanese pirates and pirates. Many old people from Qiantang County still remember it freshly. Qin Ruhai's agitation suddenly burst out with anger that had been buried for decades, and spontaneously organized to attack the landing army led by Hong Chengchou, because first

The official army landed in front of him and changed into the costumes of Zheng Zhihu's men. Although they were nominally also officials, they were somewhat different from the service of the imperial army. This was also the intention of Zheng Zhilong to be different from the imperial army. In addition, the imperial court's dressing was changed, and these people in Jiangnan did not recognize the current imperial uniforms at all. In this way, the imperial officers and soldiers became Japanese pirates or pirates in their eyes, and they attacked randomly indiscriminately, causing certain casualties to the landing army. If it were not for Song Xiance's strong persuasion and suppression, according to Hong Chengchou's temperament, every household in Qiantang would have to hang white cloth to hold funerals.

In this way, the originally set-up lightning landing battle turned into a fierce city battle. Hong Chengchou invested more than 7,000 people (including Chen Guangyou supported him with 3,000 troops). In Qiantang, Qin Ruhai's own troops were 5,000 troops, and more than 10,000 young and strong men were bewitched by others. More than 20,000 people fought in a melee, and tens of thousands of casualties were set by Hong Chengchou and others to win unexpectedly. The strategic goal of winning unexpectedly was long gone.

After the battle, Hong Chengchou and Chen Guang suffered another two thousand casualties. Fortunately, there were not many deaths. Guang, who occupied the firearm, died less than five hundred, more than 1,200 people were slightly injured, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and more than 1,200 people were seriously injured, and more than 1,000 people were lost. For the sake of safety, Chen Guang did not borrow many more soldiers to Hong Chengchou. After all, there were still three thousand pirate prisoners on the ship, but only left most of the combat supplies on the ship, leaving ten ships. All the wounded people who could not fight again, were left to Hong Chengchou with complete soldiers who could fight. When Hong Chengchou completely controlled Qiantang, the soldiers and horses left by him were only more than 3,000. Although he occupied Qiantang, Hong Chengchou knew clearly.

Chu knew that he was defeated in this battle of landing, and it was very bad, especially letting Qin Ruhai and his son run away. Zheng Nansheng wanted to send someone to chase him, but was stopped by Song Xiance. Today's battle, the goal has been exposed, and Qin Ruhai and others are local snakes, rashly chasing him to catch up. Whether to retrieve it? The most important thing at the moment is how to defend Qiantang. Fortunately, he met Hai Lao Da and his son on the way. Hai Lao Da still had some prestige in Qiantang's generation, which made the people of Qiantang understand. They believed in people's words and almost killed the wrong good person. However, many people still had doubts, but Hong Chengchou and others have stabilized in Qiantang for the time being.

So Hong Chengchou wrote the memorial under the lamp and told Zhu Yinglong what happened. Perhaps it was because of selfish reasons, he did not write about the injury to his right arm. During the writing process, he encountered the wound on his right arm. With the pain, the blood oozed out. Unfortunately, a few drops fell on the rice paper. After being discarded, it was rewritten and the ink traces penetrated into the next piece. Therefore, the handwriting that Zhu Yinglong saw overlapped and some strange blood coagulation dots, as well as the bloody smell on the rice paper.
