The terrain of Nanao Harbor is complicated, and Wang Yin is unwilling to risk the ship running aground into the bay to kill, so he ordered the fleet to force the bay to fire cannons from a distance.

The red-coated cannon has a range of up to ten miles, which is a sharp weapon in naval warfare, but it is not easy for Zheng's fleet to hit behind a chain of islands.

As it got late, Wang Yin ordered the fleet to evacuate and camp on Dongshan Island, which was more than ten miles away from South Australia. Although he has 30,000 men in his hands, they are all sailors, and it is not easy to train soldiers who are good at boating, especially the Western-style warships such as the Galen ship, which are unwilling to be used in hand-to-hand combat when landing on the island. Therefore, Wang Yin needed to wait until Jin Shenghuan came with the infantry, and then carry the infantry to the island with a fleet.

……

On Nanao Island, Zheng Sen sat on a chair with a gloomy face.

The fiasco, the successive fiascos, made the morale of this Jingnan army, which had just raised troops, low, and there was no longer the high morale when it captured Jinmen, occupied Xiamen, and captured Quanzhou at the beginning!

As the leader of the army, Zheng Sen has also been high-spirited from the beginning, to the current sad and bleak.

Tartar invasion, displaced people everywhere, mountains and rivers shock, the situation of the Ming Dynasty is so dangerous, in the face of this situation, Zheng Sen made a great ambition when he entered school, to emulate the sages, Qi family rule the country and the world, do a vigorous event.

However, at the most critical juncture of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yue, the king of Qi, came out of nowhere, rescued Emperor Chongzhen, defeated King Fu who tried to usurp the throne, and stabilized the situation in the dangerous Ming Dynasty.

And Zheng Sen, who was studying in Nanjing Guozijian at the time, was so envious of Chen Yue that he simply regarded Chen Yue as an idol in his heart.

Therefore, when the Manchu Tartars marched south, when a group of Eight Banners crossed the river and attacked the city of Nanjing, Zheng Sen stepped forward to reorganize the defeated Zheng Jiaqin Wang army, and made meritorious contributions in the battle to defend Nanjing.

And Zheng Sen also entered the official career because of this, and successively served as the governor of the military road. In the next few years, Zheng Sen led his troops to fight in Huguang and Zhejiang, fighting the western thieves and fighting the thieves, and began his career as a horseman.

Chen Yue led the troops to the Northern Expedition, and Zheng Sen was ordered to lead the troops to defend Xiangyang and threaten the thieves in Guanzhong. Finally, Chen Yue's Northern Expedition succeeded and drove the Mantars out of the Guannei. At that time, Zheng Sen was so happy, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart that Daming could be revived again.

However, who knew that after the victory of the Northern Expedition, the news of the Fujian rebellion suddenly came, and then the news of Zheng Zhilong's defeat reached Zheng Sen's army in Xiangyang. And the murderer behind Zheng Zhilong's death pointed directly at Chen Yue, the king of Qi, because behind the Ainengqi rebels there was too obvious shadow of the Dongfan Army.

Hearing this bad news, Zheng Sen couldn't believe it, but he couldn't believe it. Because he knew the contradiction between his family and the Qi King family. Whether it was a dispute between the two families at sea, or the Zheng family once tried to support the Tang family as the heir, it was not impossible for the King of Qi to secretly deal with the Zheng family.

The hatred of killing his father and breaking his family all determined that Zheng Sen had to be inseparable from Chen Yue.

Zheng Sen thought that his talent was not under Chen Yue, what he lacked was just an opportunity, at that time he was in charge of tens of thousands of troops, and he was in charge of Chongzhen's holy decree to exterminate the rebels together with Plug Yinxi, Zheng Sen believed that with his own ability, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he would definitely be able to quell the rebels, and he vowed to have a good break with Chen Yue.

And Chongzhen gave him the surname of the country, which made Zheng Sen even more grateful. However, in the first battle of Jiujiang, in the face of tens of thousands of Jiangxi rebels, Zheng Sen's tens of thousands of troops were defeated. At that moment, he was almost disheartened, and he didn't want to return to the Plug Yin Xi Army at all, but sneaked back to his hometown in Fujian with a few henchmen.

returned to his hometown in Fujian, but heard the news that Chongzhen and Chen Yue had reconciled and summoned Chen Yue back to Beijing.

Zheng Sen knew that Chen Yue's control of the imperial court was a foregone conclusion, which meant that it was impossible to suppress Chen Yue by relying on the imperial court. Zheng Sen was so unwilling in his heart, so he had the difficulty of raising troops. For revenge, for the grand ambition in his heart, Zheng Sen is willing to bear the reputation of rebellion.

However, Jing Nan's raising of troops was like a joke, Chen Yue did not call on the invincible Northern Expeditionary Army, just the sailors led by Wang Yin, and he had already beaten him to the ground.

It was already completely dark, but Zheng Sen stopped the action of the subordinate to light the lamp, sat on the chair and looked at the dark sky, Zheng Sen was thinking hard about how to break the situation.

The situation is so sinister, where do you go from here?

Kinmen Xiamen was lost, and Nanao, where it is now, is also in danger. Although he had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, Zheng Sen did not have the confidence to hold Nanao Island, after all, the gap between his army and the Ming army was too big.

There was the sound of footsteps, followed by the shouting of the guards outside. From the conversation, Zheng Sen knew that the person who came was Chen Yonghua, and Zheng Sen had always had a good impression of this wise young man.

"It's Chen joining the army, let him in!" Zheng Sen cleaned up his mood and shouted in a deep voice.

The servant lit the candle, taking advantage of this time Zheng Sen to gather his frustration and adjust his mood, as the master of an army, he knew that he must not show weakness in front of his subordinates.

"General!" Chen Yonghua clasped his fists and saluted Zheng Sen.

"Chen joins the army, is there something wrong with coming to Ben Shuai so late?" Zheng Sen asked.

Is it late? Chen Yonghua looked at the sky, and it was just dark.

"General system, the situation is already very urgent, my subordinates ask the general system what are your plans?"

"What's the plan?" Zheng Sen repeated, and asked rhetorically: "I don't know what you think about Chen joining the army?" ”

The current Zheng Sen is quite a bit of a master, how to come up with an idea for a while, but he knows that the reason why Chen Yonghua came here at night must have some opinions.

Chen Yonghua said: "The general system, the current situation is already very dangerous. Now that the King of Qi has sat firmly in the court, his strong force has forced almost no one in the Ming Dynasty to dare to oppose him. These days, the organization of the Heaven and Earth Society in the hands of his subordinates has been broken by Jinyi Wei one after another, and many brothers have died at the hands of the imperial court's eagle claws.

Originally, the gentry from all over the country supported us a lot, but in the recent days, under the obscenity of the Jinyi Guard, there are very few gentry who dare to contact us, and the support on land is almost cut off.

If the situation continues, Wang Yin doesn't need to come to attack the island, and the trap will trap us to death. Although Nanao Island is large, it is simply impossible to supply so many troops! “

With Chen Yonghua's words, Zheng Sen's brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't know Chen Yonghua's words. With tens of thousands of troops and their families, the number of people on the island is nearly 100,000, and it is not easy to rely on Nanao Island to support so many people!

"General system, since South Australia cannot be defended, and there are no reinforcements outside, we should make a decision and must give up. It should be evacuated from South Australia before more Ming troops arrive! Chen Yonghua's face showed a look of determination.

"Withdraw, where to withdraw?" Zheng Sen asked softly, why didn't he know that Nanao couldn't hold it, but it was so easy to withdraw?
