In order to avoid the red-haired ghost, under the guidance of the guide, Li Yan led his army to the north bank of Bongang River, but instead walked through the dense forest and went straight to Bongang Port, and arrived at Beizhai first.

Looking at the reinforcements that appeared as if they were coming from the sky like a divine weapon, the leader of the Beizhai, Zhang Hong, was very happy, and led the Han leaders in the village to worship Li Yanzhi.

"Meet the General!"

Although Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the court, the court did not send anyone to Taiwan Island. This Bon Port is still a place outside the world. The Han people here were either pirates or poor people who could not survive on the mainland.

If it were originally, these people had no good impression of the government and the army. But now, they were full of gratitude to Li Yanzhi and others. When they were attacked and slaughtered by the red-haired ghost, their most hope was to get reinforcements and help

They drove away the popular ghosts!

Zhang Hong called on the Han people in the village to take out all kinds of food, reward the hard-earned government troops, and freed up the camp for them to rest.

However, Li Yanzhi called Zhang Hong, who was busy, and asked about the current situation.

"The situation is very critical." Zhang Hong sighed, and then began to talk about the situation over the years.

Seven days ago, the red-haired ghost's plyboat appeared outside the sea of ​​Bon Port and launched an attack on the sailing house by the sea. Zheng Zhilong brought half of the army and sailing boats, leaving more than 200 ships in Bon Port, including more than three masts.

There are more than a dozen lucky ships. With such strength, there is no problem to resist ordinary pirates, but this time the red-haired ghost's plywood ship came.

Although the red-haired ghost only came six plywood ships, each of them was equipped with twenty or thirty cannons, which are the red cannons mentioned by the Ming people. Fifty or sixty cannons fired in turn, and the sailing house built of wood was built.

The bombardment was broken into pieces.

Although the soldiers of the sailing village bravely drove ships to fight against the red-haired ghost, although the number of ships was more than ten times that of the red-haired ghost, the largest three-masted sailboat was like a child versus an adult in front of the plywood ship.

Many warships were bombarded by the red cannons without even getting close to the plywood. Even if a ship approached the plywood, the height of the plywood ship was more than three meters high, just like a city wall, and the deck height of the three-masted blessed ship was less than

Half of the plywood ship is, even if you want to jump, you can't jump up. The red-haired ghost plywood ship has a sharp impact angle. With just one hit, it can break the ship in the middle.

In a naval battle, the fleet of Bon Port was defeated, and more than 100 sailboats were sunk by the red-haired ghost plywood ship. The rest either fled into the deep sea or went upstream along the Bon Port Creek and fled to other villages.

.

The red-haired ghost landed in and occupied the sailing village. After resting for a day, he advanced along the Bongang River and launched an attack on other villages.

However, although Bongang Creek is about twenty feet wide, the red-haired ghost's plywood boat still cannot come in, which makes the people of other villages in Bongang breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the Red-haired Ghost abandoned the ship and landed, they actually wanted to attack the villages. Under the leadership of Zheng Zhibao, Yang Tiansheng and others, the leaders of each village gathered troops to fight to the death with the Red-haired Ghost.

Just outside the Qianzhai, five thousand people from Bon Port and more than one thousand red-haired ghosts started a big battle.

A small half of the Bon Port soldiers were former pirates, and most of them were young and strong people who gathered in a hurry, three times the number of red-haired ghosts.

The number of red-haired ghosts is only more than 500, but there are more than 1,000 indigenous servants. Most of these indigenous servants are slaves from Jawa, and a few are indigenous Taiwanese near the senior officials.

In the eyes of Zheng Zhibao, Yang Tiansheng and others, the number of our own side is several times that of the other side, so there should be no problem in winning. However, the result of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

Although the number of red-haired ghosts is small, it is equipped with very sharp muskets, and there are many. However, the main weapon of the Bon Port soldiers is swords, spears, fishing forks, with only a few bows, arrows and muskets.

Shortly after the two sides confronted each other, hundreds of Bon Hong Kong soldiers were shot and killed by the red-haired ghosts, and the military formation collapsed suddenly. The red-haired ghosts took the opportunity to pursue them. The Bon Hong Kong army was defeated, and the pursuit of the red-haired ghosts and the indigenous minions was carried out.

Next, more than 2,000 people were killed and captured. The front camp was destroyed, and the remaining soldiers fled to other camps and resisted according to the camp.

"At present, both the front village and the right village have been captured. Zheng Sanye is taking most of his people to retreat to the main village of Bongang. The battle has been fought for two days, and the main village has suffered heavy casualties." Zhang Hong said very depressedly.

At present, most of the young and strong people around Bon Port are gathered in the main village. If the main village is captured, the remaining other villages are unable to resist and can only surrender...

"Captain Zhang doesn't have to worry. Now, let us leave everything!" Li Yanzhi comforted.

"It's so great." Zhang Hongxi said, "General Li, you bring people here in person, and with Brother Zheng's brother returning to the rescue, at least there is no problem in defending Bon Port."

"..." Li Yanzhi was speechless. Zhang Hong was so happy about his feelings, not because of himself, but because of Zheng Zhilong's return.

"General Zheng Shen is leading the fleet to fight against the red-haired ghosts in the sea, and it depends on us." Li Yanzhi still explained.

"But you brought these seven or eight hundred people, and the number is still a little small." Zhang Hong couldn't help but say.

This guy was already scared by the red-haired ghost and didn't believe that seven or eight hundred people like Li Yanzhi could be the opponents of the red-haired ghost.

"The soldiers are in the spirit, not in the number of them." Li Yanzhi said lightly, no longer explaining to this guy. A group of pirates who have never seen the world do not understand what a real war is!

After resting in Beizhai for a night, he recovered his energy from the two-day marching. Li Yanzhi ordered his subordinates to change their clothes, put on the ragged clothes of the people of Beizhai outside the military uniform, and pretended to be the people of Beizhai. Because the men of Beizhai were born in Beizhai.

There was not enough clothes, and even found a lot of women's coats, and the colorful soldiers were reluctant to wear them.

After changing clothes, from a distance, he no longer had the style of a strong army in the imperial guards, and he looked more like a group of messy people.

"General Li, are you?" Zhang Hong asked in surprise.

Li Yanzhi smiled faintly: "It's just confusing the enemy."

After changing clothes, after breakfast, Li Yanzhi immediately led the team to set off. It was only seven or eight miles from the main village from Beizhai. Li Yanzhi didn't even ask him to bring dry food. Each soldier carried a musket and the gunner carried about twenty tiger squatting cannons.

In order to avoid the enemy's discovery, the tiger squat cannon was covered with rags. As for other cannons, it was difficult to take to hike through the dense forest, so it was left on Zheng Zhilong's ship.

There was a road between the Beizhai and the main village, and farmland was distributed on both sides of the road. In the farmland, the wheat ears were yellow. A group of 800 people drove towards the main village along the road between the wheat fields.

When the main camp was two or three miles away, the sound of guns and cannons had been heard.

"The damn red-haired ghost is attacking again!" Zhang Hong, who accompanied the army, gritted his teeth and cursed, "General, we must speed up the marching."

Li Yanzhi ignored Zhang Hong, but instead asked his soldiers to slow down and fix them on the spot. Because he knew that the two sides were so close that the red-haired ghost must have discovered him.
Chapter completed!
