Chapter 83 Recovering Chongming(1/2)
When his eyes arrived, thousands of sails covered the sea. He Laoba silently took off the flag of the beacon, and his soldiers were sleeping soundly.
The Ming army fleet soon sailed across the Nansha and headed towards Chongming County along the northern waters of Chongming Island.
The vanguard was a landing force organized by Shi Lang, with 8,000 elite soldiers. He brought him from Fujian, all of whom were elite veterans.
Afterwards, Zhang Mingzhen also organized 10,000 people and handed over to the deputy general to follow Shi Lang's command.
He himself was in charge of the fleet and supported the land at any time.
The iron horse is neighing at the morning and the camp is cold, and the tower boat is rushing at night!
Several small boats of the vanguard fleet were the first to dock, and Shi Lang personally led 500 soldiers to land on the beach.
This is the north of Chongming County. The Qing army carried out strict defenses. There was a beacon or a watchtower every two miles.
At night, there will be patrols.
Coincidentally, the wind and waves tonight made the Qing army careless, and Shi Lang led people to touch the beach easily.
Soon, Shi Lang divided his troops to touch the east and west sides, preparing to deal with the patrolmen.
Behind the rear, the landing troops began to board the land continuously in small boats.
In half an hour, all 8,000 people from Shi Lang's troops were assembled.
The Qing army on both sides of the landing land had been resolved without any warning.
Shi Lang led his army to rushed towards Chongming County.
At this moment, the Qing army's Chongming garrison Lu Gongyi was sleeping soundly in his house. Recently, the imperial court has trained a huge navy, and he had just gone out to sea, so he, Chongming, was still restless.
Especially today, I heard that the navy defeated Liu Kongzhang's troops who had been swimming on the sea, which could be regarded as a major problem for Lu Gongyi.
During the day, in order to celebrate the rare good sleep, Lu Gongyi selected two beautiful women on the street and asked his servants to tie them home.
After some enjoyment, I slept particularly sweetly tonight.
"Bang bang bang!"
A knock on the door came.
Lu Gongyi was awakened and looked up sleepily.
"Master, it's time to patrol the shore." Outside the door, the voice of the servant came.
Lu Gongyi always had the habit of patrolling the beacons along the coast in the second half of the night. Since he was promoted to the garrison, he did his best, for fear of making his master unhappy.
There is also a master of the Eight Banners living in this county government.
There were 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers stationed near the county government, and two leaders were commanders, both of whom were elite bannermen under the command of the commander Bahana.
Lu Gongyi rubbed his dry eyes, feeling sore waist and back pain, and his knees were weak, so he was really sleepy.
Beside the bed, two women were cut with their hands on their backs, tied with ropes to the end of the bed, and leaned against each other and fell asleep.
"The waves are big tonight, I won't go!" Lu Gongyi pulled up the quilt and lay down again, humming in his mouth.
"Okay!" The servant outside the door was also happy, and now he can go to bed.
The wind outside the window roared, and Lu Gongyi fell asleep.
On the dirt road outside the county town, Shi Lang was blown so hard that he couldn't open his eyes and moved forward with difficulty.
"General, the wind is too strong, the brothers behind may not be able to get up!" The deputy general frowned and worried.
With such a strong wind, it is estimated that the ten thousand people from Zhang Mingzhen will not be able to log in.
The deputy general was a little worried. It would be a bit difficult to capture the county town with only 8,000 of them.
"It's okay, the enemy is not prepared, steal the city while the night!" Shi Lang was not worried at all. He was full of confidence in the old soldiers under his command.
Under the nightfall, the county town was already vaguely visible.
Shi Lang stopped the troops and sent elite scouts to investigate first to prevent fraud.
According to the information found during the day, the garrison of the Qing army county was located in the south of the city, with 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers. The rest of the Han army were located on other islands.
"General, should we directly rush to the camp or?" the deputy general was eager to try.
Shi Lang thought about it and found that the risk of directly attacking the Eight Banners Army camp at night was too high. If there was any mistake, it would be troublesome to let them enter the city quickly.
So it is safer to steal the county town first. Even if the Tartars reacted later, they just had to hold on until dawn and wait until Zhang Mingzhen's troops came to support them, so they would be worry-free.
"When the spy comes back, if there is no situation, I will send an experienced man to climb the city and grab the gate." Shi Lang ordered.
"I understand!" The deputy general nodded, then turned around and went to select the first-time man.
After about two incense sticks, the spy sent back.
The situation in the county town is normal, the city wall has been reinforced, but the guards are sparse and no one can see.
It's the second half of the night again, and it's the time when the defenders are confused.
Shi Lang immediately sent three hundred people to climb the city and seize the gate.
The army was hidden outside the defenders' sight and prepared to charge at any time.
Holding a knife on his mouth and carrying a rope on his back, these veterans were familiar with the road to reach the city.
Then, under the guidance of the scout, he found a suitable position, threw his hook claws, and began to climb the top of the city.
In Chongming County, the city wall is about three people high, built by earth and stone, and there is no city tower.
After Lu Gongyi took office, he repaired the city wall and strengthened the outer wall with some bluestone to prevent the rain from brewing.
The elite Ming army quickly climbed up to the top of the city. They were about to go up and take a knife and kill everyone. As a result, almost all the defenders on the city wall were confused by the battlements.
It took less time to wipe the defenders' necks.
The leader of the Ming army saw that this was a big fucking, wouldn’t this be given for nothing?
So while he ordered people to control the city gate, he raised fire to the army in the distance.
The Ming army opened the city gate without any effort, and even Shi Lang was somewhat self-doubted.
"What's the situation?" Shi Lang asked the lord who was snatching the door.
"The defenders are all county soldiers..." The monk was speechless, and he was preparing to fight in blood and then build a magical skill. As a result, his opponent looked like this, making him feel excited.
Most of the Ming army quickly drove into the city and ran towards the four gates.
Shi Lang personally led the military camp and rushed towards the county office.
At this time, a shiny light had already appeared in the sky.
The morning breeze and the waning moon are all over the city.
Lu Gongyi yawned and stood up.
The two women tied to the bed had already woken up and were leaning against the bed and crying silently.
Seeing Lu Gongyi sitting up, the two of them trembled all over and moved to the side in fear.
"Early in the morning, crying, mourning?" Lu Gongyi cursed while dressing.
After twisting his old waist, he felt that he was about to break. Lu Gongyi opened the door and stretched his waist to prepare to wash.

Huh?
Why are there no servants in the yard?
Looking around, it was empty, without even a sound of talking.
Lu Gongyi shouted strangely, but no one replied.
I was about to leave the hospital and go to see it, but I didn't expect the door to be suddenly knocked open.
A large group of soldiers came in one after another and surrounded Lu Gongyi.
Lu Gongyi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Which army are you? Are you afraid of your life?"
At this time, Shi Lang walked into the courtyard and smiled at Lu Gongyi and said, "Mr. Lu, it's rare to have a good sleep. My soldiers did not let their subordinates disturb you, but now they are awake, should I do a serious business?"
"You, you...you..." Lu Gongyi realized that something was wrong.
"I forgot to introduce it. This official is Shi Lang, the deputy general of the Qiantang Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty. He was ordered to recover the lost land! You lackey, your life is over!" Shi Lang couldn't help but curse.
Lu Gongyi was shocked, why did he wake up and change the world?
I couldn't help but feel very bitter when I thought that I was stolen.
No? What about the Eight Banners men?
Could it be that they were also annihilated?
Lu Gongyi pricked up his ears and wanted to hear if there was any movement outside, but it was quiet outside.
Shi Lang sneered repeatedly. After the army entered the city, he directly locked the four gates and defended the city.
I originally wanted to attack the Qing army after Zhang Mingzhen's troops arrived, but I didn't expect that Zhang Mingzhen was not an ordinary person either.
He actually ordered the army to cross the waves and forcibly land.
