Chapter 205 The Battle of Zhangzhou (2)

After the army got ashore in Haicheng, they rested for a night. The next day, Mao was having dinner. At the beginning of Chen, at noon, they arrived three miles from the south gate of Zhangzhou. They had already seen a large group of Qing soldiers. Zhu Youlang ordered the army to rest and make rice.

The first battle cannot be missed, so Zhu Youlang still let the well-trained imperial guards take the lead, Chen Jitai and Lin Cha lead 20,000 naval troops to sue the subordinate.

Zhu Youlang didn't have time to rest, so he led Chen Jitai, Lin Cha, Zhao Yuelong, Li Yuanyin, Su Sheng and others to the front line and found that Chen Zhongwu was commanding the soldiers to set up roadblocks.

"See the Emperor." Seeing the arrival of the emperor's brother-in-law, Chen Zhongwu hurried over and saluted a half-military salute.

"Pingshen. Zhongwu, whose troops are ahead?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Reply to the emperor, it's Melezhangjing Zhao Butai." Chen Zhongwu replied.

"Zhongwu, this first battle is very important. You only win but not lose. What do you want to fight?"

"Reply to the emperor's words, rest for an hour, and wait until the physical strength is restored, I will lead my brothers to rush and fight hard, and it will definitely hit the city gate in less than half an hour. A small Zhao Butai is not in my eyes. Your Majesty, please see, each soldier has six grenades on his waist, and I can't blow him to death?!" Chen Zhongwu said confidently.

"Haha, no, you may suffer a lot of casualties when you play like this. It is important to know that the short release distance of grenades is not conducive to long-range attacks. The Qing soldiers' bows and arrows are powerful, and the range is much further than grenades. Therefore, if you want to use your brain, we should try our best to get the best benefits at the lowest price." Zhu Youlang still liked his second brother-in-law very much and said with a smile.

Chen Zhongwu's eyes turned a few times: "Your Majesty, I understand. Please sit back to the central army and see how I won this first battle beautifully."

"Okay, it depends on your performance."

Zhu Youlang didn't ask much, and led Chen Jitai and the others back to the central army. Li Yuanyin and Su Sheng stayed and discussed the tactics with Chen Zhongwu.

...

The scout came to report that Emperor Yongli personally brought 30,000 troops to support Zhangzhou. Now he has reached three miles south of the city. Zhao Butai was not surprised and happy when he heard the report.

"Hahaha... God is really helping me. The child of Yongli actually brought it to my mouth. This piece of fat meat is useless if you don't eat it!"

Since entering Fujian, he won consecutive victories, which gave him the illusion of a vulnerable attack on the Ming army. He had more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command and fought 30,000 Ming troops. In his opinion, it was just a matter that could be solved by a charge.

Despite this, because the matter was of great importance, he immediately sent someone to report to General Boro, the Great Conquest.

Boluo's commander was set up outside the west gate. Soon, Zhao Butai was still dispatching troops. Boluo rushed over after hearing the news, followed Gushan Ezhentulai and the commander of the Guardian Duld.

"Mr. Beizi, Yongli is here forever. The soldiers are very tired and are resting. The slave wants to raise an army to attack him immediately while he is not yet stable, and he can win a great victory."

After watching the Ming army's appearance, Zhao Butai said.

"This battle is very important, and it must be carefully arranged. If it is fought well, you may capture or kill the children of Yongli, and you can decide the southeast in one battle!" Boluo was also very excited: "Let's go, go back to the account and discuss it."

After several people returned to the tent, Boluo looked around the three of them and said, "Yongli has 30,000 soldiers. I see that the army is in a neat manner. In addition, he is the imperial commander in person, so the soldiers must use their lives, which is not comparable to Li Chengdong's army. They must not be underestimated. Also, if an attack is launched here, the army in Li Chengdong's city will definitely open the south gate to fight to welcome Yongli into the city. Look, how to fight this battle?"

"Mr. Bei Zi, the focus of this battle is Yongli, and Li Chengdong is second. According to the slave's opinion, we can ignore Li Chengdong and attack Yongli with all our might. As long as Yongli is killed, Li Chengdong will be defeated without fighting!" Tu Lai said.

"Bai Zi, behind Yongli is the sea. There are warships on the sea to help him. It is not easy to destroy him in one battle. If he is allowed to run away from the sea, it will be even more difficult to catch him again. According to the slave's opinion, it is better to put him into Zhangzhou City and surround him. Can he still fly with wings? Then, let Zheng Zhilong move west quickly and block the retreat at the sea. This is called the trick of catching turtles in Wengzhong. Taking a step back, even if he cannot quickly capture Zhangzhou, as long as he is trapped for half a year, he will become a deaf and blind man and cannot command wars elsewhere. The situation in Jiangxi, Hunan and Yunnan will inevitably change drastically. Just one breakthrough is required, and the Yongli Dynasty will no longer exist." Duerde offered his advice.

"Yes! This is the perfect solution." Boro thought it was a clever plan after hearing Duld's words.

"If Ibutai's opinion is, it would be not so easy to catch him. As long as you trap the Yongli child, the war in the southeast will be over. Also, trapping him in the city, and supply difficulties will be difficult. One hundred thousand troops and the people will be enough for him to bear it. And our army, because it is outside the city, there is no need to worry about military supplies. So, he wants to be fast, but we just give him a slower one. Erde, it's really yours, which is good." Boro thought about it more and more, and he couldn't help but give Duld a thumbs up and praise him.

"Thank you, Mr. Bei, for your compliment!" Duld quickly bowed and said humbly.

"Butai, when the Ming army rushed up, you will resist a little, take the opportunity to make way for the main road and let the Ming army enter the city. In addition, Tu Lai immediately ordered Zheng Zhilong to move west quickly and make sure to block the Yongli retreat. In addition, immediately report the situation here and our deployment to Prince Yu, and ask him to urge the two armies of Jiangxi and Hunan to march quickly." Boluo Ling said.

"twitter!"

The three of them bowed and agreed, and then took action separately.

...

At the same time, Li Chengdong, Wang Fuzhi, Yuan Pengnian, Meng Wenjie and others were also discussing excitedly.

"For the past six months, the battle with the Tartars has been a bit annoying. Apart from the battle of Chongyangxi, I haven't had enough fun to fight. I just played hide-and-seek with them. Now, as the emperor arrives, it means that Boro's fate is almost over." Li Chengdong said with relief.

"Master, hurry up and think about how to welcome Your Majesty into the city." Yuan Pengnian said.

"That's natural. Wenjie, when your Majesty starts, you open the city gate, lead your troops out, and welcome your Majesty into the city." Li Chengdong ordered.

"According to the order!" Meng Wenjie responded with his hands.

Wang Fuzhi didn't say anything, and looked at the dragon flag fluttering in the distance, and was very excited: "Ah, it's been more than half a year, the emperor, I'm thinking of you all the time."

Thinking that he was about to meet the emperor, Wang Fuzhi's eyes were a little wet. He was afraid that others would say he was pretentious when he saw him, so he hurriedly turned sideways and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

...

Before the beginning, the Ming army rested for more than an hour, and their energy and physical strength were restored. They regained their strength and rushed to the city under the leadership of Chen Zhongwu.

At the same time, Meng Wenjie also opened the south gate and led two thousand cavalry to rush towards the Qing army.
