Chapter 710 Tentative attack! Ask for a monthly ticket!)
"General He, good things, good things! His Highness Zhong's navy has arrived on Juehua Island!"
"Um?"
He Shouyi was stunned when he heard the news.
He really didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to come so quickly.
When He Shouyi first discussed the first batch of candidates to arrive on Juehua Island, he thought of Zheng Chenggong first.
But for some reason, Zheng Chenggong seemed not very enthusiastic about this matter. Zheng Chenggong was not only He Shouyi's friend, but also his benefactor.
Therefore, Zheng Chenggong disagreed, and He Shouyi could not recommend it without any sensible recommendation.
Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to care much about this, and eventually he had He Shouyi and Yu Qi join him to Juehua Island.
But unexpectedly, after a long circle, Zheng Chenggong came in the end.
What you should have in your hit can't escape no matter what.
He Shouyi is not a pretentious person, but being able to reunite with Zheng Chenggong in Liaodong is a good thing in any case.
He Shouyi nodded and said, "Hurry, let's go to the dock to welcome His Highness Zhong."
Although I don’t know if the pier can stop, the Zheng Chenggong Navy warship can be stopped, the welcome ceremony is always indispensable.
But He Shouyi, Yu Qi, Wang Ermazi and others came to the dock. Seeing that Zheng Chenggong's ship had already started docking, they smiled bitterly in their hearts.
Your Highness Zhong, shouldn't he blame them for being rude?
Not to mention this, it is said that after Zheng Chenggong's ship docked at the pier, his own personal soldiers paved the wooden boards.
Zheng Chenggong jumped off the boat first. From his neat movements, we can see that Zheng Chenggong has a lot of experience. He should be an old sea king.
"Your Highness, you are here. We all miss you to death."
He Shouyi walked forward quickly and said with a smile.
Zheng Chenggong was in a good mood when he met a few good friends.
"Haha, I really didn't expect that we would meet here. I thought I would welcome you triumphantly in the capital."
Yu Qizuo said in surprise: "His Highness Zhong, please tell me what's going on. Why did you suddenly come to Juehua Island?"
Zheng Chenggong stroked his beard and said, "This matter is a long story, but in the end it is the Emperor's intention."
"Your Majesty wants to achieve his merits and not give the Tartars any chance."
Zheng Chenggong explained: "The Battle of Ningyuan is not just an ordinary battle, but the first battle after the Ming Dynasty returned to Liaodong. It must be fought simply and beautifully, and there must be no delay at all."
"So that's it, your Majesty is wise."
Yu Qi bowed to the direction of the capital, and then said in a deep voice: "How is His Highness Zhong going to fight this battle?"
Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "This is a coincidence. I want to ask General Yu and General He."
"We are waiting for His Highness King Jin. When His Highness King Jin's army arrives, it will be the time for us to attack together."
“What about the specific plan.”
Zheng Chenggong doesn't like to listen to such clichés, but wants to make real arrangements.
"In particular, it is to bombard Ningyuan City from the flank to attract the attention of the Tartars and gain enough space for His Royal Highness Jin."
So that's it. It turns out that they just wanted to play assists at the beginning.
It is no wonder that after all, the Ming army on Juehua Island is limited, so it is difficult to open up the situation in a short time. And it also needs to leave some troops to station on Juehua Island, and fight and assist.
But now that Zheng Chenggong is here, the situation is completely different.
"I want to attack head-on, what do you think?"
Yu Qi and He Shouyi looked at each other and instantly understood what Zheng Chenggong meant.
It seems that His Highness Zhong wants to compete with His Highness Jin for credit.
After all, both of them are one-character princes, and no one is worse than each other in terms of titles and status.
Zheng Chenggong had no reason to simply play assist with Li Dingguo.
If Zheng Chenggong can make great contributions in this battle, it will be very exciting to the entire navy system.
Yu Qi and He Shouyi are basically happy to see such a scene.
After all, they are also a sailor. The navy has been suppressed over the years, and they feel bad.
They knew very well that it was difficult to complete the reversal by themselves alone, and they had to rely on bigwigs like Zheng Chenggong to complete the counterattack.
Who doesn't want their status to be improved?
"If your highness wants to attack head-on, maybe that's what it can be."
He Shouyi had already had a curse, so he thought about it carefully before talking about it.
After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong pondered carefully, felt that the plan was feasible, and then turned to Yu Qi and said, "Just do it like this. Since you didn't even expect that the king would come to Liaodong, probably the Tatars didn't expect it. We just want to kill them off guard."
Yu Qi nodded and said, "That's it. By the way, Your Highness King Jin, don't stand here all the time. It seems that we are not well-polite. Come on, come on, go to the city and sit down."

"Major General, Major General is in trouble."
Soetu was sleeping soundly in Heshan Fort, but suddenly someone woke him up and he was so angry.
"What a panic, it's so irritating."
He scolded, "What's the matter that can't be said slowly?"
"Ming thief, it's Ming thief who came here."
"What?"
Soetu was shocked.
Although I knew that the Ming army would come sooner or later, it was coming too quickly.
"What should we do now, Major General? According to the scout report, it can be inferred from the smoke from the Ming army that bury the pot and cook rice, at least tens of thousands of Ming thieves came!"
There were only one thousand people in Heshan Fort, even if the number of personal soldiers brought by Soetu was less than five thousand.
This gap in numbers is no longer something that combat power can make up for.
"What should I do? Major General, do you think of a solution."
"What a panic? Even if the Ming thief really attacks in large numbers, we can't defend and retreat."
Soetu said indifferently: "Put the responsibility on Ebilong at that time. If the court wants to blame, Ebilong will also blame Ebilong. Who told him not to complete Heshanbao?"
"It seems that's the reason. But..."
"No, but listen to mine."
"Come on, follow me to the top of the city."
Although I have already made a big deal, Soetu still plans to go to the top of the city wall, even if it is just a show.
But Soetu came to the head of Heshan Castle surrounded by people, and looked in the direction of the smoke from cooking, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
It is actually impossible to see clearly at such a long distance.
Soetu didn't even see the Ming army barracks.
Is it a bit too careless to just judge the number of enemy troops from the smoke from cooking?
"In fact, maybe it can be a fight..."
Soetu murmured.
But he pressed this idea down shortly after he was born.
After all, the Ming army severely damaged Heshan Fort, and the one who suffered a defeat was Ebilong.
Soetu has no reason to think about Ebilon.
You must not be soft-hearted at critical moments.
