In addition to these 3,500 soldiers, the remaining more than 7,000 people are ordinary soldiers in the garrison. The armored rate is less than half. Many of them are wearing felt hats, mandarin duck battle jackets, and holding a red tassel gun to fight. This is also the norm for all generals of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the soldiers pay and money are concentrated on the elite troops. When fighting, the elite soldiers defeat the enemy in one go. The soldiers of the guards are the roles who follow behind to find bargains. Among these 7,000 soldiers, there are only more than 1,000 people.

It is useful. It was a pirate team brought by Xu Xinsu. Following Xu Xinsu, he turned into an official army. Because Xu Xinsu lived in Japan for a long time and knew the power of Japanese iron cannons, he purchased a lot of iron cannons and formed 500 iron cannons. Moreover, because the navy was powerless, Yu Zigao even allocated the cannons on the navy ship, the cannons that Xu Xinsu had originally had, and various types of Folang machines in the Fujian army to Xu Xinsu, and gathered nearly 200 large and large artillery pieces to Xu Xinsu into a firearm team.

Five thousand soldiers formed the core combat power of Fujian, and also gave Yu Zigao great confidence. According to the front report, the sound of cannons in Tongshan City continued, which means that Tongshan was not over yet. As long as Lu Yuying could hold Zheng Zhilong, he would definitely drive Zheng Zhilong's army into the sea as soon as the army arrived inside and outside. Thinking of this, Yu Zigao even urged the entire army to speed up, but Xu Xinsu wanted to escort the cannons, so in the rear army, he set a distance of about an hour with Yu Zigao's front army.

Zheng Zhilong learned that Yu Zigao's army was not far from them. There was an island called Dongmen Island on the east side of Tongshan. Zheng Zhilong hoarded some supplies on the island and set the island as a forward base. Since he wanted to defeat Yu Zigao, he must give full play to his naval army's advantages and use naval guns to support land operations. However, the range of the Red Cannon was limited, and Yu Zigao was not that stupid, so he had to arrange the fleet in a hidden position. When the battle was fierce on the shore, he suddenly came out and caught Yu Zigao off guard.

Zheng Zhilong did his homework before coming. He chose the established battlefield in the area of ​​Gouwei Mountain, ten miles away from Tongshan City. Zheng Zhilong left a part of the bird boat to watch Tongshan City, and led the main fleet to sail to the back of Gouwei Mountain, hiding the battleship behind Gouwei Mountain. There is a plain between Gouwei Mountain and Tongshan City, which is exactly the coverage area of ​​naval guns. Zheng Hongkui's ambush was also set up in this area. He also asked Zheng Hongkui to deliberately expose his flaws and let Yu

Zhigao discovered that Yu Zigao led the army to attack. On the Tongshan side, he drew Zheng Zhihu's iron artillery team and combined the iron artillery team under the charge of the second and third brothers into one. Zheng Zhibao was ambushed behind Zheng Hongkui's army. He personally led 500 Iron Man Army and 3,000 veterans to the ashore as the main force to hide behind several ambushers. He ordered Zheng Zhihu to surround Tongshan City and not allow the people inside to inform him. The bird boats surrounding Tongshan fired fire from time to time to put pressure on the defenders on the city.

At dusk, Yu Zigao had passed Niudu Mountain not far from Gouwei Mountain, less than twenty miles from Tongshan City and less than ten miles from the established battlefield.

"Report! Grand Commander, the enemy ambush was found less than ten miles ahead. It was at the foot of Gouwei Mountain. It was impossible to see how many people were. Due to the wide terrain, the provocate could no longer approach." The provocate said to Yu Zigao.

Yu Zigao pondered for a moment. Zheng Zhilong wanted to play some games and help. OK. I wanted to ambush himself in Gouwei Mountain, but don’t get the meat broken by bones. “I ordered the entire army to station on the spot and form a defensive formation, waiting for Xu Xinsu’s firearm to come over and bombard his mother with a fierce gun.”

"Yes!" The messenger passed the order down.

The sun sets, the sky is already dark, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on the earth, covering the soldiers of the Ming army. Xu Xinsu quickly transported all the cannons to Yu Zigao's army. Yu Zigao immediately set up a formation, with cannons in front, iron cannons behind, two thousand archers, and then rattan troops. The cavalry was on the flank of the entire army. When the two sides fought, they suddenly fought out and attacked the enemy.

Xu Xinsu came to Yu Zigao's side, "Ship Yu, order an attack. In the face of the pressure of our army, Zheng Zhilong is just a thief. He just relies on the fleet left by Li Dan to dominate the sea, and asked him to abandon the fleet and go ashore to fight our army. This is precisely because of his short-term attack on me. I don't believe that he can make a big spoil on land."

After several battles, Yu Zigao also figured out the way. All the places where Zheng Zhilong dared to attack were coastal areas, and the range was within the range of his naval guns. He had not won the land battle, so he would definitely suffer heavy losses this time.

"Okay, Mr. Xu Qian, prepare to fire."

"Get order!" The red cannon raised its guns and adjusted the shooting angle to the approximate ambush direction. Xu Xinsu gave the order, dozens of red cannons and general cannons were all exerted, pouring shells at the foot of Gouwei Mountain. The ambush led by Zheng Hongkui was divided into two teams in front and back. In front were more than 2,000 swordsmen and spearmen, and behind were more than 1,000 archers. However, the various bows and arrows used by these archers were collected by Zheng Zhilong from various countries, and they also had their own manufacturing part, with different ranges. These soldiers were all quietly lying on the ground, waiting for Zheng Hongkui's order.

Three miles behind the front line, Zheng Zhilong led the main force to form a formation, hiding in a dense forest, waiting for Yu Zigao's army to come. He chose the battlefield at Gouwei Mountain because there was a large dense forest at the foot of Gouwei Mountain to the beach, which was not only conducive to hiding soldiers, but also because the dense forest blocked the view. Unless carefully investigated, ordinary people could not find it. Less than dozens of steps after the dense forest, there was a beach, and the sea more than a hundred steps was the sea. The sea near Tongshan would have a high tide every evening, so that the fleet would not have to worry about stranding. It could be more reliable.

Recently, although the dense forest also blocked the view of his own fleet, Zheng Zhilong's well-trained pirate army invented the light signals used for night combat. Every few dozen steps, Zheng Zhilong set up a messenger, holding two torches in his hand, and arranged them to the beach, and issued instructions to the fleet with his unique code in his army to adjust the design angle. In this way, the fleet only needs to shoot according to Zheng Zhilong's instructions and launch the shells to the coordinates. This method is still effective during the Zheng Chenggong period. Zheng Chenggong often used this tactic when he regained Taiwan.

Seeing Yu Zigao's army preparing to fire, Zheng Hongkui shouted loudly: "Look down and don't get up. If there are brothers around him, they are not allowed to get up. The boss has orders to survive three rounds of artillery attacks."

The personal soldiers around him repeated his orders layer by layer. The Zheng army followed Zheng Zhilong to fight some battles. Although they could not be as elite as veterans, they could do basic orders. Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom bo

He screamed. Another shell hit a large rock, smashing the stone. The stones flying all over the sky were like flowering bullets. Many soldiers lying on the ground were hit on the back by gravels. Some unlucky ghosts were hit on the head and died without saying a word. After a round of artillery, dozens of people were killed and injured. However, this casualty was nothing to the army of 4,000 people, and Zheng Jun still lay on the ground and did not move.

"Hmph! It's quite endurable. Zheng Zhilong has some skills. Since this is the case, don't blame Yu for being ruthless. The whole army formed a formation to move forward!" The artillery pushed the cannons forward and approached three or four hundred steps. Another round of bombardment was another round of bombardment. This time it was even more violent than the artillery just now. All kinds of artillery entered the range, and the big and small Folang aircraft also opened fire violently. This wave took away hundreds of lives.

"Don't move yet? Then you all die here. Keep firing!" Yu Zigao ordered.

"Fire the cannon!" "Fire the cannon!" When the order was conveyed, all kinds of cannons fired again. Yu Zigao's position was shrouded in white smoke from black gunpowder. After three rounds, Zheng Hongkui shouted: "Retreat!" Zheng soldiers immediately jumped up and ran backwards when they heard the sound.

"Haha, the bastards, finally come out. The cavalry rushed forward with me." "Kill!" Yu Zigao took the lead, picked up the phoenix-mouthed knife in his hand, and followed the five hundred elite servants behind him, and headed straight for the retreating Zheng army in front. The cavalry's horse hooves were raised high, and the rushing was like thunder. The infantry behind raised their weapons and shouted for charge. For a moment, the situation on the battlefield seemed to be no surprise. The archer who was lying behind the Zheng army was desperately shooting arrows at the rushing horse team. The horse team raised their shields to defend. Some of the arrows were shot on the iron shield and were bounced away. Although some shots, Yu Zigao's servants were all double-layer cotton armor. The arrows could not be shot through fifty steps away. They were just hanging on their bodies. The distance of three hundred steps was just a moment for the high-speed cavalry.

Yu Zigao's phoenix-mouthed sword roared with the wind, waving like snow in the sky, making people unable to see where the blade was. He rushed into the Zheng army, and the cavalry behind him also rammed into the crowd with a loud bang. Many Zheng soldiers were knocked away and fell heavily to the ground, and then they were stepped into flesh mud by iron hooves. The cavalrymen bombed in turn, and after they were shot, they even slashed the Zheng army with their heads and corpses were killed. Zheng army ran back one after another, regretting that their parents had fewer legs. Five hundred cavalry rushed in the crowd, Yu Zigao killed one Zheng army with one knife, and another with his backhand, and a big head flew up. The hot blood splattered him all over. Yu Zigao laughed to the sky, "Hahaha, it's good to be happy, I haven't fought such a satisfying battle for a long time.

"My sons, kill the thief!"
