On Xiamen Island, the landed Zheng raid army let out a cheer. After losing a large number of gunboats, Zheng Zheng's army finally relied on its superiority in firepower to suppress the Zhengjing fort in Qianpu, and then bombarded Zheng Jingjun's beachhead, and launched a "Katyusha rocket" attack on Zheng Jing's position with the firebox trucks loaded onto the ship, which bombed Zheng Jing's position into a sea of fire.

Zheng Xianjun rushed to the beach, because it was a sea-crossing attack, the landing soldiers could not approve iron armor, and could not use birds, flintlock pistols and bows and arrows, but could only use cold weapons such as knives and guns.

Zheng Jing's army, which was covered with rockets, suffered heavy casualties, and the surviving soldiers rose from their dilapidated positions and stubbornly resisted the attack of Zheng's army. After a fierce and bloody battle, Zheng Xian's army finally seized a beachhead and brought heavy weapons such as heavy mortars, Hongyi cannons, and fire vans ashore.

"Report to the king! The Qianpu beachhead is lost! The thieves have come ashore! A soldier with a bloody face came to Zheng Jing's camp to report to Zheng Jing.

"Stupid pig! A bunch of sake bags and rice bags! So many cannons, as well as strong positions, elite armor and weapons! Why can't you hold it! Zheng Jing scolded angrily.

"The thieves are fierce, and the thieves bombarded the fire box car on the ship, and the power of the fire box car is too great! A volley of rockets blasted up and it was a big piece! The brothers suffered heavy casualties! Zheng raided the thieves also had long-range rifled guns in their hands, and the gunners sitting on the small boat shot from a long distance, shooting far and accurately! Pick our officers to shoot! The soldier reported.

Zheng Jing kicked over the table: "I'm angry!" It's all Wang Yu'er! If it weren't for this thief who moved the cannon factory to Dongfan, how could Zheng raid the thief beat this king! Someone! Send me elite soldiers, and be sure to drive Zheng Xi's thieves into the sea! ”

Feng Xifan knew that the fire van was extremely powerful, the rockets could shoot continuously, and any frontal charge of infantry and cavalry was the same as suicide, so he offered advice: "Lord Wang! Don't act rashly! This fire van is too powerful! Even if 10,000 people charge head-on, they can't rush up! ”

"Then you say, how to crack the thief's fire van?" Zheng Jing asked with blood-red eyes.

"The last will know. Although the fire van was powerful, the range was not far, only 300 to 500 steps. We mobilized artillery to bombard the thieves' wagons, suppressed them, and then attacked the thieves' camp at night! The thieves can't see it at night, the power of the fire box car is reduced, and our army will definitely be able to break the thief! Feng Xifan arched his hand.

Zheng Jingjun transferred a batch of artillery and bombarded the landing Zheng raiding army. The shells kept falling in the crowd of Zheng Xianjun, smashing Zheng Zheng's army with heavy casualties.

"Bang" A red-hot shell happened to hit a fire box, and the car was torn apart. The rocket on the launch pad was ignited, like a huge firecracker, there was a violent explosion, the rocket on the car shot in all directions, causing a chain explosion around, and the soldiers of Zheng Raid, who had no time to run away, were ignited by the rockets one after another, and fell into the sea of fire and struggled painfully.

Zheng attacked the army with artillery and Zheng Jingjun fired at each other, and sent infantry to attack. Zheng Jingjun relied on the terrain to resist step by step, protected the artillery with infantry, and repelled the attacks of Zheng's army again and again.

The flowering shells fired by the "boom" mortar kept falling in the crowd of Zheng Jingjun. Shrapnel shot everywhere, and Zheng Jingjun's flesh and blood flew everywhere.

After nightfall, the efficiency of the use of firearms on both sides was much reduced because of poor visibility. At this time. Feng Xifan personally led the elite ironclad soldiers to attack the position of Zheng's army.

The two sides fought in the dark, and Zheng Jingjun knew that if Xiamen Island was lost, they would have no way to retreat, so they fought desperately one by one. Very valiant; Similarly, when he landed on Xiamen Island, Zheng Xianjun, who would not have time to escape back to the ship if he was defeated, was also very desperate. Both sides slashed and slashed all night. Feng Xifan was very brave, slashing and killing more than 20 Zheng Raid soldiers in a row, and he also led people to rush to the Zheng Raid artillery position, burned eight fire vans, snatched a batch of rockets, and blew up six cannons. After dawn, a large number of reinforcements from Zheng's army landed and reinforced, and Feng Xifan led people to withdraw from Zhengjing's position.

In the waters of the Taiwan Strait, a fleet flying the flag of the Zheng family army is hidden near the Penghu Islands, keeping an eye on the route from Dongfan to Xiamen. This is the only way for Zheng Raid to transport and supply fleets, which was originally garrisoned by Hong Lei, the son of the veteran Hong Xu, but was attacked by Zheng Raid, and Zheng Raid's general Zhang Ji captured Penghu Island, and Hong Lei also became a prisoner.

"Brother-in-law, we've been waiting here for five days, why haven't we captured Penghu yet?" Zheng Cong asked suspiciously.

Although there was no typhoon in winter, the wind and waves were strong in winter, and the ship shook badly, Zheng Cong and others had been adrift at sea for several days, and it was really uncomfortable, and he wanted to go ashore early.

"No hurry! When Zheng Xi's transport ship passes, we will seize Penghu and block the shipping lane. Now that we have captured Penghu and scared the snake, if Zheng Xi knew that we had copied their back road, he would definitely not fight Zheng Jing again, and would immediately return to the army to save Dongfan. We put their convoy over and take Penghu again. Wang Xinyu pointed to the map and explained.

Zheng Raid owns Taiwan's artillery factory, which can produce a large number of new weapons, and Taiwan's castles are impregnable. As for Zheng Jing's side, the relationship between Wang Xinyu and Zheng Jing is already on the same footing, and there is no possibility for the two to work together to attack Zheng Zheng, and in the end they can only watch Zheng Zheng become bigger and completely control Taiwan.

"Dashuai, I don't know when Emperor Hu Dedi will be able to do it?" Li Rui asked.

"I don't know about this, but it is estimated that the mountain road is difficult to walk, and they will be given seven days to cross the mountain, but it seems unlikely, and it will definitely be delayed for three or five days! We will wait for Zheng's fleet to pass, take Penghu, and then send troops to the east. "Wang Xinyu must wait for Emperor Hu Dedi and their sneak attack to succeed, otherwise the loss of attacking Taiwan will be too great.

"Brother-in-law, even if Zheng Xi knows that we are going to fight Dongfan, his fleet will sail back, we have so many big ships, can his fleet rush through? Instead, we can wipe out Zheng Zheng at sea! Zheng Cong is very confident in the strength of the Nanyang Navy.

"Little Wangye, although the ships of the Zheng Raid Army are not big, there are too many of them, they can sacrifice a group of gunboats to entangle us, and a large number of transport ships force through, and it is impossible for us to stop them all! In addition, the Chinese gunboat of Zheng Xianjun is not a small boat! It is the flagship of the old prince! It's also a huge ship, fast and powerful, and it's hard to stop! Wang Xinyu knew that when Zheng Chenggong went to Jiangnan, his large gunboat did not go, but went by small boat, and that large gunboat became Zheng Zheng's Chinese gunboat, and at this time, Zheng Zheng's army had more than one gunboat that combined Chinese and Western.

Near the route from Taiwan to Xiamen, a catamaran schooner lowered its sails and hid behind a reef.

Zhang Guanshan held a pair of monoculars in his hand, observing the sea in the distance. They had been here for five days and five nights, and they had not seen Zheng Xi's convoy pass by.

"There's a ship coming!" Zhang Guanshan saw a huge fleet of ships appear on the sea in the distance. However, this fleet sailed from Xiamen to Dongfan Island, and it is estimated that the empty ship will return to the ship, and the Qiongzhou army will only start after loading food and ammunition and returning to Xiamen. Zhang Guanshan is a Navy special combat crew, and the catamaran clipper is tasked with monitoring the movements of Zheng's army.

Zheng Xi's fleet slowly passed through the waters of Penghu, this fleet was very long, there were more than 300 transport ships, and it took a long time before the fleet disappeared.

Zhang Guanshan did not rush back to report it, but waited for another two days and two nights, and waited until the Zheng Xi transport fleet loaded with supplies sailed from east to west, and then ordered to set sail.

The catamaran returned to the fleet of the Nanyang Navy and reported the situation to Wang Xinyu.

"Good! The fleet of Zheng raiders has passed, and their next fleet will not be able to pass until at least fifteen days later, so we will launch a sneak attack tonight and seize Penghu Island!" Wang Xinyu pointed to the map, and his finger fell on Penghu Island.

After nightfall, the convoy transporting the landed marines, with Zhang Guanshan and his naval special combat personnel, as well as more than 2,000 officers and men of the marines, quietly approached Penghu Island under the cover of night. It was the 21st day of the 11th lunar month, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, which could not only provide lighting for the marines, but also prevent the light from being too strong to expose the fleet.

In winter, the wind and waves are very strong, and the landing boat sways in the big waves and slowly approaches the beach.

"Up!" Zhang Guanshan gestured.

Navy special operators jumped from small boats, waded through knee-high water, and landed on the beach.

A figure appeared in front of him, Zhang Guanshan didn't have time to use the weapon hidden in the oilcloth bag, took off the spring crossbow that was not afraid of water from his back, aimed at the black shadow, and gently pressed the trigger, and a sharp crossbow arrow whistled out with the sound of the wind and pierced into the neck of the black shadow. The Zheng raider sentry clutched his neck, struggled a few times, and slowly fell.

When the Navy special combat team members landed on the beach, they immediately opened the oilcloth bags they carried with them and took out long-range weapons such as crossbow machines, thunderbolt guns, and electric guns.

Zhang Guanshan quietly approached the Zheng Raid military camp with the special combat team, and the scouts patrolling outside and the sentries standing outside the camp were silently solved by the special combat team members one by one.

On the sea, the fleet led by Wang Xinyu controlled the periphery of Penghu Harbor, and the gunboats blocked the exit of the harbor.

"It's already on the shore!" Li Rui looked at the fire burning on the shore and said.

"Land division go ashore to attack!" Wang Xinyu gave the order.

Small boats full of officers and soldiers of the Qiongzhou Army struggled to row to the beach, and the officers and soldiers jumped off the boats, boarded the beach, and rushed towards the blazing Zheng Xian barracks.

Just now, after Zhang Guanshan and the special combat team solved the scouts and sentries on the periphery of Zheng Xi's barracks, he rushed into the barracks with the special combat team members and set fire to them everywhere. Later, the ordinary marines who followed behind also entered the camp and set fire to it everywhere. The Zheng Xi sergeant who rushed out of the camp in a hurry didn't even have time to put on his armor, and was cut down in a pool of blood as soon as he ran out.

Zhang Ji woke up from his sleep and heard the sound of killing outside, so he asked, "What's going on outside?" (To be continued.) )
