Chapter 154: Encountering Shi Lang on the Way
I saw that there was a depression on the map that was not far in front of the Dragon Guard, more than a mile wide, followed by a tributary of Ziyun Creek on the east side, and extended to the foot of Shanling on the west side.
And these hundreds of captives were also cunning, sending people to lure the dragon guards to attack them in front, and ambushing people on the side to prepare to dig the river embankment.
It had just rained, and the water level of Ziyun Creek was quite high. If the Dragon Guards really rushed up, the river would suddenly rush in when they passed through that depression, and they would definitely suffer great losses!
Zhu Linmiao was also afraid for a while, but fortunately, the new map of the Dragon Guard Army was marked with contour lines, so that he could see this dangerous terrain. Coupled with the strong reconnaissance ability of the hussars equipped with binoculars, the Qing army hidden on the river embankment was revealed, and the two combined to see the trick of the prisoners, so that the Dragon Guard army could avoid heavy losses.
He immediately ordered Liu Guoxuan, who was the best at assault warfare, to lead the fifth battalion of infantry up the river embankment and first annihilate the enemy troops who were preparing to dig the embankment there.
After the plan to build a captivate and attack the water was destroyed, the cavalry carried out the previous battle plan.
On the riverbank, a young man with a wide face and small eyes bowed his body and stared intently at the depression on the west side. More than a dozen barrels of gunpowder had been buried under the embankment fifty battles away from him, and someone would ignite the gunpowder at the sound of his order.
When the river embankment collapses and the water pours down, we will definitely be able to solve those people sent by Uncle once and for all! Thinking of this, the wide-faced young man couldn't help grinning proudly, but then he looked a little anxiously, it had been like this for a long time, but he hadn't seen Uncle's people rushing over, and their movements were too slow.
Suddenly, the soldiers lying not far from him shouted, "My lord, someone has gone up the embankment over there!" ”
"What?!" The wide-faced young man hurriedly turned his head to look, and he could vaguely see several people in dark green clothes flashing more than a hundred steps away, and hiding behind a few willow trees, their movements were very sensitive.
He was immediately stunned, how could he not seem to be an uncle's person?
The next moment, only a neat shout was heard, "Charge!" Then, out of nowhere, hundreds of men with firearms appeared and rushed towards him.
"Ming Army?!" Only then did the broad-faced young man see the appearance of the soldier on the other side, although he had never seen the strange military uniform, but he recognized the helmet with a hemispherical rim on the heads of these people.
I just said that they all ran to Shaowu, why did Uncle catch up again? He dragged his short-bearded and sturdy subordinates at his side, pointed at the oncoming Ming army, and said angrily: "Did you bring eyes when you inquired about the enemy?!" ”
The short-bearded strong man said with a bitter face: "I saw thousands of troops from a distance just now, I guess it must be the men and horses of the general army, so this is ......" In fact, he can't be blamed, according to their existing information, there should be no army with more than 1,000 people in Shaowu Mansion at all.
The wide-faced young man slapped him angrily, turned his head and saw his underwear coat, and immediately said, "Take it off!" ”
"Huh? What the? ”
"Take off my clothes!"
Liu Guoxuan slowly approached Jian Yu with great caution and caution, and was not seen until he was a hundred and fifty paces away. At this time, he was about to rush to within sixty paces of the enemy, and was about to give the order to stop, when he suddenly saw someone in the captivity position raising a white flag.
"it!" Liu Guoxuan almost fell to the ground with a crooked foot, and said in his heart, this Jianyu is really cowardly as a mouse, and when he saw that the water attack trick was discovered, he surrendered directly!
"Beware of deception." He ordered the soldiers to quickly form a half-encirclement line and form a formation, and was about to send someone to contact him, when he saw a wide-faced and small-eyed Jianyu officer walking over with a white flag.
Zhu Linmiao was discussing the follow-up battle arrangements with Zhang Jiayu and Zheng Chenggong, when he heard a report from the hussars that the captive army had surrendered, and more than ten barrels of gunpowder had been dug up under the river embankment, which had now been properly disposed of.
Zhu Linmiao couldn't help frowning slightly, with so much gunpowder, the river embankment would definitely collapse in an instant, if it was replaced by other Ming army teams, I am afraid that most of them would have been flooded at this time. I don't know who commanded this team, it's really tricky.
Soon, Liu Guoxuan escorted a Jianyu officer to him, the man had a wide face, a slender braid behind his flat bald head, and he looked like a winter melon with a handle on his neck.
He coughed, and was about to interrogate, when he heard Zheng Chenggong beside him exclaim: "Honorable Marquis! Why are you here? ”
Without waiting for the "winter melon" to reply, Zheng Chenggong suddenly reacted, pointed at him and said sharply: "Shi Lang, I really didn't expect that you would surrender?!" ”
"Who? Shi Lang?! This time it was Zhu Linmiao's turn to be taken aback, and immediately turned his head and asked Zheng Chenggong, "Is he Shi Lang?" Sea Thunderbolt? ”
"Thunderbolt?" Not only Zheng Chenggong, but even Shi Lang himself was stunned.
"Oh, nothing." Zhu Linmiao then remembered that Shi Lang, who was in his twenties in front of him, probably hadn't gotten the nickname "Thunderbolt of the Sea" yet, thought for a while, and asked, "Does he have an uncle named Shi Fu?" ”
"Exactly."
On the side, Shi Lang hurriedly said to Zheng Chenggong: "Da Mu, don't talk nonsense, when will I surrender ......" Halfway through the words, he suddenly saved, touched the braid on his head, shook his head and sighed, "If I don't want to shave, Uncle has Zheng Zhilong's order......"
He glanced at Zheng Chenggong, and seemed to think that it was not polite to say this to his father, and was about to change his words, so he heard Zheng Chenggong say: "It's okay, I have broken with him, and it has nothing to do with it, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”
"Zheng Zhilong ordered Uncle and his subordinates to be shaved, and Jianyu Tong raised a Jia, and assisted in guarding Jianning. That's how I was shaved. ”
Shi Lang's face was full of bitterness, and he continued: "A few days ago, I connected with four hundred soldiers who were unwilling to be captured, and took the opportunity of Uncle A's departure from the camp to steal his token and escape from the camp.
"Uncle immediately sent people to chase after him, just now my subordinates mistakenly took your army as a pursuer, so I plan to design a blockade."
"You really didn't surrender?"
"I, Shi Lang, swear to the heavens, be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and dare not rebel!"
Zheng Chenggong lowered his head and thought carefully, and then nodded. Shi Lang had surrendered before he could do so, and if he was determined to surrender, he would definitely turn around and flee even if he didn't fight.
He said to Zhu Linmiao again: "Your Highness, according to General Mo's understanding of Shi Lang, he should be forced to shave instead of surrendering. ”
Zhu Linmiao naturally knew that Shi Lang, Shi Fu, Zheng Zhilong and others were not all the way. In fact, after Zheng Zhilong's generation of pirates was recruited by the Ming Dynasty, their descendants have been in contact with the upper class of the Ming Dynasty since childhood, and they have a firm identity as the people of the Ming Dynasty. When their fathers, who had been pirates, betrayed the Ming Dynasty, most of them chose to break off with their fathers, Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong.
Historically, Shi Lang was forced by Shi Fu to surrender to the Qing Dynasty for a short time, and only a few months later, he joined Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing rebel army, and made great achievements in the battle against the Qing army.
He smiled at Zheng Chenggong and said, "Since there is a big wood to protect it, that marquis must be loyal and good." He waved to Liu Guoxuan again, "Sightseeing, quickly untie him." ”
