There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the Ming army set up a formation under Zheng Chenggong's command to prepare to attack the city.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong didn’t know that so many things happened in Linhai City last night, and everything was prepared according to the scheduled plan.

"Father, Shi Lang retreated to Linhai City to fight for trapped beasts. I'm afraid this battle will not be easy."

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "I have prepared for a hard battle for my father, but even if it is difficult for me to win this battle, my father will win!"

Linhai is the prefecture of Taizhou. As long as Linhai can be controlled, it means that the Ming army basically controlled Taizhou.

After that, you can take over Jinhua Mansion, stabilize your position and then go south to control the entire Zhejiang.

Zheng Chenggong was ordered to conquer Shi Lang, and naturally hoped to take over Zhejiang in one go, which not only made him a profit of face, but also made a contribution to the emperor.

Now that the Kuidong honors are fighting in Fengyang, Zheng Chenggong does not want to be content with others.

"Order the attack!"

"Abide by the order!"

Amid the rumbling drums, the Ming army began the first round of charge.

Unlike other armies who drove away non-direct troops as vanguards to fill trenches, Zheng Chenggong's siege was led by the Iron Man Army.

In other words, this army was all direct descendants to him, and there was no distinction between Iron Man Army and ordinary soldiers.

The palms and backs of hands are full of flesh. The Iron Man Army can also boost morale and improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Why didn’t Zheng Chenggong do it?

This is completely different from the Eight Banners soldiers who drove away the Green Camp soldiers and drove away the people to make meat shields.

The Zheng family army has strong battlefield execution ability and has a very fast impact on the city wall. It takes a short while to arrive in front of the moat.

The moat in Taizhou Fucheng is said to be a moat, but it is actually not much different from the moat, and the river surface is very narrow.

Under the command of the Iron Man Army, the soldiers of the Zheng family began to rush to build a pontoon bridge and rushed to the opposite side of the river.

The Qing army on the top of the city naturally could not sit idly by. They tried their best to shoot arrows to interfere with the Ming army.

The reason why we don’t use guns is because all the artillery in Taizhou was built on the navy warship by Shi Lang.

Unexpectedly, Shi Lang took the initiative to ambush but suffered a great defeat. The artillery sank to the bottom of the sea with the sunken warships.

Although Shi Lang managed to save his life by chance, these artillery were in vain.

The Qing army's difficulty in defending now has a lot to do with Shi Langlang's battle.

Moreover, what happened last night had a certain impact on the hearts of the Qing army to a greater or lesser extent.

Although they didn't say it, they were actually cheering up in their hearts.

Will there be more people oppose Governor Lang Tingzuo?

Should they support Lang Tingzuo, or should they choose to follow Lang Tingzuo's opponents?

In a chaotic situation, this is indeed a difficult issue to choose.

As for Shi Lang, he has been watching coldly.

Lang Tingzuo cannot be said to be a mediocre person, but he is definitely not a famous minister or general.

His abilities are between the two, and it is perfect for him to be a middle-aged man.

There is no problem for such a person to be a governor in a peaceful and prosperous era. There is no problem in fighting a downwind war in troubled times, but it is too difficult to fight a downwind war.

The Qing court threw away Nanjing and Hangzhou, and now they can only stay in Taizhou. If they say they have nothing to do with Lang Tingzuo, they will not believe it.

Of course, through these battles, Shi Lang also realized that there was a big gap between his abilities and Zheng Chenggong, but this was not the reason why Lang Tingzuo was blamed.

If you say a thousand words and ten thousand words, the sky will fall and the tallest one will have to be the one who can bear it.

In Jiangnan, the Governor of Liangjiang is the tallest man.

Through what happened last night, Shi Lang saw Lang Tingzuo's character even more clearly.

This person is mean and polite? No matter how well he treats you on weekdays, he may turn against you at any time at critical moments.

Shi Lang has already started thinking about how to find a way out for himself. If he follows Lang Tingzuo one by one, he will probably not be able to save his life.

Geng Jimao, the King of Jingnan in the south, is a good choice.

When Shi Lang followed Zheng Chenggong to rebellion? It was in Fujian.

He is very familiar with everything in Fujian.

If he could join Geng Jimao's command? Shi Lang asked himself that he would perform well.

Although Geng Jimao is not a hero, he is still a warlord with territory.

Having soldiers in the hands of troubled times is the kingly way.

Geng Jimao has more than 100,000 soldiers who control strings under his command, and they are all very powerful soldiers of our family? They are far from comparable to those of the kind of miscellaneous green camp soldiers.

The reason why Shi Lang could not defeat Zheng Chenggong? It also has a lot to do with the commanding waste green camp soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of both sides is not at the same level, and no matter how much effort Shi Lang makes, it is useless.

What's more, Zheng Chenggong even has an advantage in guns and cannons? Thinking about it this way, it would be abnormal if Zheng Chenggong couldn't win.

Shi Lang is unwilling to give up.

He must find an opportunity to prove that he is no worse than Zheng Chenggong? Resigning to Geng Jimao seems to be the only choice.

Having already gotten up, Shi Lang naturally didn't have much mood to fight in love.

Now his mind is full of how to escape? Then he fled into Fujian.

Anyway, there are only more than a thousand people left in the direct lineage who are following his command? Not many people are? They are not conspicuous when running.

Judging from the direction of the Ming army's attack, the main attack was the North City, the West City, and the East City, although it was also involved, it was just meaning.

As for the Nancheng, there are almost no Ming army siege.

This is of course the result of Zheng Chenggong's deliberate care.

Perhaps it was because the Ming army's numerical advantage was not as large as that of the city gates on all sides.

It is normal to make choices.

So Shi Lang had a problem.

It is a good choice to break through from the south city before the Ming army has even attacked the city.

The next step is to find a reasonable reason.

Shi Lang's mind was running rapidly, and after thinking about it, he finally came up with a suitable reason.

"Governor General? I finally thought that there were still some artillery in the arsenal? Then I went to transfer it."

Lang Tingzuo seemed a little suspicious: "There are still artillery? Didn't General Shi load the artillery on the navy warship?"

When Shi Lang tells lies, his face is not blushing and his heart is not beating.

He said with a natural expression: "I ordered people to carry some small cannons at that time. Are the remaining cannons very heavy? But they stayed there if they thought it was too heavy."

Lang Tingzuo was overjoyed when he heard this.

This is simply God helping me.

"Why didn't General Shi say it earlier?"

"The last battle was too tragic."

Lang Tingzuo did not doubt him and nodded frequently, "Okay, General Shi, come and call the cannons. The Ming thief is building a floating bridge? We have arrows that seem to have limited damage to them. If we can use cannons, it will be the best."

Shi Lang immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"

After saying that, he turned around immediately, transferred his direct soldiers and rushed down the horse road.

Nearly a thousand Qing soldiers, led by Shi Lang, passed through the city in a mighty manner.

The people hid at home with their doors closed, and there was no one on the street.

Shi Lang rushed to escape, clamping the horse's belly and constantly whipping the whip.

When they passed by the arsenal, they did not stop, but rushed all the way to the south city.

His confidants knew it well and admired Shi Lang very much.

When the cessation continues to be disturbed, when will it not run away?

Did you stay and wait for the Ming army to break the city and cut off your head?

Nowadays, the main forces of the Qing army are basically concentrated on the city wall.

Only more than a hundred people were left near each city gate to prevent accidents.

When Shi Lang led more than a thousand confidants to the South Gate, the Qing soldiers were completely unaware of what Shi Lang was going to do.

"General Shi, but the Governor asked you to reinforce?"

A Qing soldier just asked a question, and Shi Lang waved without hesitation the next moment: "Kill them all, open the city gate and rush out!"

Shi Lang's personal soldiers waved their swords and slashed them, one thousand to one hundred, and they still took the lead. The Qing soldiers guarding the city gates made ghosts before they realized what had happened.
