To the southwest of Jilong and more than twenty miles north of the Tamsui River, in a wide valley, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers stood there neatly like sculptures, silently.

These are the elites among the elite troops of the Tunwei in Nanzhili. Most of them participated in the battle with the pirate Li Balou. They were not afraid of the pirates and Japanese pirates. Even if they knew that the pirates and Japanese pirates gathered in front were three times that of theirs, everyone looked calm on their faces.

Although their location is not very secret, the surrounding mountains are already covered with scouts. If pirates or Japanese pirates come from the north, they will definitely disappear in an instant. Therefore, they don’t have to worry about the exposure of their whereabouts.

Of course, pirates and Japanese pirates would not be so bored and run around. This place is unsafe for them, because Chen Sipan robbed the land of the nearby people, and the people hated them so much that if someone was alone, they would definitely be beaten to death by the people.

This time, Yang Cong ordered the infantry general to be Tang Kekuan. Although he was not as high as Yu Dayou's martial arts and not as experienced as Qi Jingtong, he was determined by his calmness. He also had rich experience in commanding such a large war of tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, he was carrying a war horse, his eyes narrowed slightly, and stood calmly in front of the team, as if he was raising his energy, or as if he was waiting for something.

Finally, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the direction of Tamsui River to the south. A commander with a flag on his back galloped over the horse. Before he could reach Tang Kekuan, he held the horse and flew down. Then he took out the arrow in his arms, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "General Tang, the Governor General has an order to order the general to launch an attack before noon today and end the battle before You hour."

Tang Kekuan bent down and took the command arrow, looked carefully, then looked at the sky again, and then ordered: "I ordered the scout camp to advance and clean up the five miles of the place where the army passed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a personal guard came out from behind. The personal guard hurriedly bowed his hand and spread his legs and ran straight towards a mountain not far away.

Soon, the scouts around began to slowly move forward.

Tang Kekuan waited for about a quarter of an hour before raising his hand and ordered: "Go away, move forward slowly, and pay attention to maintaining his strength."

It's still early this time, and it's more than an hour before noon. They're only more than ten miles away from the pirate's nest. Even if they walk slowly, it won't take an hour. He doesn't need to lead his army to rush over.

They were so careful here, but the pirates were ignorant. The pirates were originally a mob. In addition, dozens of pirates gathered together this time, and they had no subordinate relationship with each other. Who would stand guard for whom?

The army marched for about an hour and finally arrived about a mile south of the chicken coop. At this time, the pirates gathered by the river and the sea still did not notice that there was a large army approaching, and many people were even sleeping soundly.

Of course, during this period, there may be rash ghosts who left the camp to hunt or play here, but these people have been dealt with by scouts everywhere.

Tang Kekuan had abandoned his war horse now and quietly climbed a mountain by the river.

He climbed on the ridge and carefully investigated the situation of the pirate camp, then quietly ran down the top of the mountain, recruited a group of thousands of generals, and carefully explained the generals, guerrilla generals, and other generals.

As noon approached, a burst of smoke rose from the chaotic pirate camp, and a huge roar suddenly sounded behind the hills on the south side of the camp.

"Boom boom boom", the pirate who was about to make a meal had not yet understood what was going on. Hundreds of shells suddenly hit the camp, and the unlucky ghost who was hit suddenly let out a scream like a ghost crying and howling. Of course, most people screamed and burped.

Immediately afterwards, there was a thunder-rolling shouting from behind the mountain bag. Countless Ming soldiers rushed out from behind the mountain bag with a pile of outrageous weapons. Their power was so scary that they were so powerful.

Although the number of pirates was three times that of the Ming army, they were scattered everywhere, and they could not resist the soldiers of the Ming army like wolves or tigers. In addition, they were almost at a loss in the weapons. Lu Qi, who was responsible for the staying behind, found that before he could organize effective defense, almost everyone rushed north like a ghost.

There is the sea to the north, and almost all the ships have been transported to the public now. What's the use of them escaping?

Not long after, nearly 30,000 pirates were forced to the beach north of the chicken coop by more than 10,000 Ming troops. With no escape, these pirates finally showed their bloody side. They pulled out their weapons and stared at the Ming soldiers not far away. In that situation, as long as the Ming soldiers approached again, they would fight to the death.

Tang Kekuan was not in a hurry to attack. After driving all the pirates here to the beach, they ordered their soldiers to form a mandarin duck formation to block them in front. Then they ordered people to pull all the hundreds of tiger squat cannons left behind and bang at the pirates on the beach.

After less than five rounds of bombing, most of the pirates collapsed. At this moment, they were really no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. The sea in the north was also dead. The Ming army's mandarin duck formation in the south was like a wall of iron. No matter how many people rushed up, they could not break it. They had to squeeze together and get shells.

This guy, who could bear it when he saw the people around him being smashed by a cannonball like paper, and he was hit by blood and flew backwards.

Soon, almost all the pirates threw away their weapons and lay on the ground and cried: "Don't bang, don't bang, we surrender, we surrender."

Of course, Tang Kekuan could not have killed them all. The reason why he transferred all the tiger squat cannons was to make the pirates collapse. Otherwise, more than 30,000 pirates and Japanese pirates fought desperately, and they would definitely have suffered a lot of casualties.

The battle here went very smoothly. In front of the artillery, the pirates and Japanese pirates holding short blades had almost no power to fight back. Coupled with Tang Kekuan's calm and sophisticated command, the Ming soldiers took down more than 30,000 pirates in one fell swoop without any casualties.

At this time, the naval battle in the waters near Penghu was also very smooth. Although Chen Sipan, who was a little rebellious, intends to fight a boarding battle with the Ming army, his pirate ship was just approaching the Ming army's warship, and what greeted him was raindrops of muskets and hail-like thunder.

He found in despair that, let alone the boarding, his subordinates couldn't even make a head start. Once they stood up, they would be sieveed by dense musket bullets before they could even stand up.

He tried to organize several times, and almost all the brave men were killed by Ming Jun. Seeing the other men hiding in the corner timidly, he could only helplessly lead his confidants to rush out, and as a result, they were naturally also beaten into a sieve.

A hero who had been on the sea for more than ten years ended like this. In front of the powerful elite Ming army, he disappeared without even arousing any waves.

This may be a bit exaggerated. Is the Ming army so powerful? Tens of thousands of pirates can't hurt them at all!

Of course, the Ming army was not so fierce in the past, but the Ming army equipped with muskets and cannons and practiced the Mandarin Duck Formation was indeed so fierce.

Historically, after Qi Jiguang trained the Qi family army, his record was even more exaggerated than this.
