Chapter 961 Zheng Chenggong was wrong again...

(0961)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

"Boom!"

Another loud bang came, and Zhong Fumen was also exploded.

The Tiger Army has long been perfect in the technology of blasting the city gates. Although these city gates in Nanjing are much stronger than those in other places, it is difficult to break open such as squat wood, but under the bombardment of hundreds of kilograms of explosives, they only have broken parts.

After blasting two city gates in succession, the morale of the Hu Ben Army increased greatly, and the speed of the attack became even more fierce. Before the smoke of gunpowder had dissipated, they had already crawled in from the ruins and launched an attack on the city of Nanjing. The black men who were blown up were not reacted at all and were stabbed to death by bayonets.

Originally, the Hu Ben Army's Suzaku Legion was full of anger. It was also the corps-level organization of the Hu Ben Army, and they seemed to be the last one. The tradition of the Hu Ben Army has always been ranked by its military merits. If you have outstanding military merits, you can rank among the top. If your military merits are dim, you can always be ranked last.

In Liaodong, the Qinglong Legion made achievements and conquered Yizhou Wei, Guangning City, Liaoyang City and other places, completely defeated the Tartars, and completely recovered the Liaodong region. This achievement is almost unprecedented and no one can compare to it yet. Therefore, the ranking of the Qinglong Legion is worthy of its name.

In Zhuozhou, the White Tiger Legion was eyeing the capital and just waiting for the opportunity to attack the capital. As long as it conquers the capital and controls the Forbidden City, this achievement is quite generous. Ranking second, there is basically no suspense.

In the Nanyang area, the Xuanwu Legion was also sharpened its swords and prepared to launch an attack in the direction of Xiangyang. As long as it conquered Xiangyang, it would be equivalent to controlling most of the Jiangnan. Xiangyang is the western gateway to Jiangnan and the commanding heights of the Huguang area. After conquering Xiangyang, the Huben Army could go down along the Han River and attack the Huguang area. At the same time, it also opened the door to Shuzhong. If this achievement was well managed, it could even overwhelm the White Tiger Legion and become the second among the four major legions.

Only the Zhuque Legion in Yangzhou seems to have no significant military achievements. After all, the Jiangnan region is so big and there are not many opponents with great importance. In the Jiangnan region, some of the powerful landlords' guards are armed. Without significant opponents, they cannot establish military achievements. For the Hu Ben Army, which attaches great importance to military achievements, this is indeed not a good thing. If there is no change, the Zhuque Legion will always be ranked last.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong came when he was depressed.

Zheng Chenggong's arrival was so timely. This kid is somewhat an important figure, much heavier than the nerd Liu Zongzhou of Nanjing City. The Vermilion Bird Legion defeated Zheng Chenggong in Nanjing City, which was somewhat of a little military achievements, and it would not have been a piece of white-clad piece. If it were the Ming army stationed in Nanjing City, it was afraid that the military achievements would be with Zhang Zhun's side, which was not worth mentioning at all.

It's a long way to go...

Zhongfu Gate was opened, and the soldiers of the Huben Army came in like a tide and soon occupied Yifeng Gate and other places. Near Yifeng Gate was Yanzi Mountain, the northern commanding height of Nanjing City. On Yanzi Mountain, there were turrets installed by the Ming army, with more than fifty guns of various colors. However, these turrets were disrepaired and there were not many artillery pieces available.

After the Zheng family's black musket team seized Nanjing City, they once tried to use the Yanzi Mountain fort to block the Hu Ben Army from approaching Nanjing City. Unfortunately, the cannons on the Yanzi Mountain fort were not as good as those of the Hu Ben Army's field artillery. As a result, they were bombarded by the Hu Ben Army's field artillery, and all the cannons on the Yanzi Mountain fort were mute.

Now, the Yanzishan Fortress has been controlled by the Hu Ben Army. The cannons on it have completely lost their function. The hundreds of black musket teams stationed at the fort were beaten by the Hu Ben Army and were quickly cleaned up. The scene was full of chaos and black corpses were everywhere.

Then, the Jinchuan Gate was opened again. The Jinchuan Gate was one of the nine real gates in Nanjing City. Entering from the Jinchuan Gate was the straight street, extending to the direction of the bell tower and the drum tower. Continue to move forward, which is the former Ming Dynasty Palace, also called the Forbidden City.

By this time, the entire northern defense line of Nanjing City was broken and there were loopholes everywhere. With the 5,000 troops of the Black Musketeers, they could not defend such a vast Nanjing City. In fact, by this time, the remaining Black Musketeers were a little unable to resist. Even in a one-on-one single-handed fight, they were no match for the Hu Ben Army at all.

When I was in Fujian, relying on the muskets in my hands, the black musket team of the Zheng family army could also bully the local Ming army, but it would be a little troublesome to encounter such a brutal army of the Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army was not even afraid of Tartars, but they were afraid of these black people?

As a last resort, the black musket team had to retreat while fighting and retreating in the direction of the bell tower and the drum tower. After retreating here, they found that it was still unsafe, so they continued to retreat in the direction of the imperial city. The remaining sailors of the Zheng family fleet had to retreat with them. As a result, the retreat quickly turned into a great defeat, and everyone ran away with their heads in their arms.

The black musket team fought and retreated, and the Hu Ben army was chasing behind him. The Hu Ben army team that came in from Dinghuai Gate also surrounded and intercepted the enemy from the west. There were even the Hu Ben army troops who bypassed Xuanwu Lake and rushed in from Taiping Gate, trying to divide the city of Nanjing into two halves. The battle between the two sides continued, and the gunshots never stopped.

Shortly after the Jinchuan Gate was opened, the commander of the legion Yin Fengyi hurried into the city with a few guards. Along the way, there were black men who were beaten to death, and occasionally, there were several injured Tiger Ben Army soldiers. There was no suspense in the battle, it was just the length of time.

The black corpses lying on the ground attracted the curiosity of many soldiers of the Tiger Army. They all felt very strange. How could there be people in this world whose skin is all dark? It looks like a piece of charcoal head! It's shiny!

"Legislature Commander, who are they?"

An officer asked the deputy commander Wu Jiasheng curiously.

"It should be a black man from Africa."

Wu Jiasheng frowned and said.

Zhang Zhun once mentioned that the senior officers of the Tiger Army basically knew where these black musket teams were from. They also knew where these black people came from. Therefore, when they saw these black people, they did not feel surprised or curious.

Due to Zhang Zhun's relationship, senior officers of the Hu Ben Army can be said to be the group of people who know the most clearly about this world. They not only know where they live, but also a circular planet called the earth. They also know that there are seven continents and four oceans on the earth, and they also know their specific location.

These black people should have come from faraway Africa. They should have been sold to East Asia by Western powers and became so-called black slaves. Most of the black slaves are said to have been sold to the American continent, and only a small number of them have arrived in Asia. Zheng Zhilong's land power is mainly this musket team composed of black slaves.

In other words, as long as the Hu Ben Army finds ways to eliminate these black men, Zheng Zhilong's land power will basically be disintegrated. In the future, the Hu Ben Army will reduce a lot of pressure on the march towards Fujian. Without the support of the Black Musket Team, even if Zheng Zhilong temporarily organizes the team, it will be too late. Perhaps this is also a small military achievement that the Suzaku Legion can strive for.

"Order the troops and move forward quickly!"

"Be sure to eliminate all these black people!"

Yin Fengyi gave an order with a cold expression.

...

Near the Forbidden City, Zheng Chenggong sat on the steps with a depressed look on his face, a little confused and didn't know what to do. He could not defeat the Hu Ben Navy on the sea. He could not defeat the Hu Ben Army on the road. This was simply too depressed. He ran from the sea to the land and thought he could escape, but he didn't expect that the Hu Ben Army would actually arrive so quickly. This was simply not giving him a way out for Zheng Chenggong!

What was even more depressing was that he not only ruined all the warships of the Fifth Fleet of the Zheng family's Fleet, but also wanted to destroy all the Zheng family's musket teams here. This trip to Nanjing City was not so much a sneak attack on the Tiger Ben Army, but rather a person seeking death and falling into the trap. There is really no more failed action than this.

Beside him were several senior officers of the Musketeers. Their faces were also bad. I really didn't expect that the combat power of the Hu Ben Army was so strong. Their black musketeers, when they came into contact with the Hu Ben Army, were all broken up. Originally, they thought that with the strength of the Black Musketeers, they could compete with the Hu Ben Army.

Obviously, Nanjing City cannot be defended. The only option now is to retreat quickly. Judging from the gunshots, the Hu Ben Army has occupied the bell tower and the drum tower line, and it is only half an hour away from the Imperial City. If you don’t leave at this time, it will be too late. The Hu Ben Army’s attack speed is so fast, it is simply chilling.

There is another important figure next to Zheng Chenggong, that is Zheng Shouyuan, who is responsible for assisting him. The Zheng family army suffered consecutive defeats and defeated battles in succession, which almost all of Zheng Shouyuan's hair turned white. Faced with such a dilemma, he had no good idea. The Hu Ben Army was too strong. In the face of such a powerful enemy, there was no chance to use any strategy.

Thirty-six strategies, the best way to go, but the only way to run away is to run away.

"The eldest son..."

Zheng Shouyuan said bitterly.

"Get away!"

Zheng Chenggong said helplessly.

The remnants of the Zheng family army immediately withdrew from Nanjing City. After coming out of Nanjing City, everyone spread their feet and ran away desperately in the direction of Fujian. If you want to say that there is any place on land that makes the remnants of the Zheng family army feel safe, there may be only one place in Fujian. No other place has any sense of security.

"Chase!"

Wu Jiasheng shouted loudly.

Zheng Chenggong wants to run away? How easy is it? If Zheng Chenggong is not killed, the operation of the Suzaku Legion will not be considered a military merit at all. If Zheng Chenggong escapes, they will even be embarrassed to report the victory to Zhang Zhun. Therefore, no matter how fast Zheng Chenggong runs, he will be caught!

"Hurry, hurry, don't be like an old lady!"

Wu Jiasheng called on the propagandists of the army to keep shouting various slogans and encourage everyone to accelerate their progress. At the same time, Wu Jiasheng also asked all troops to be as light as possible, and all other things were temporarily unloaded except weapons, food, clean water, and other things.

The remnants of the Zheng family army fled desperately in front. Behind, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were chasing each other. Some of the remnants of the Zheng family army were too fierce to run, and they could not run anymore. They just knelt down and begged for mercy. Some people were running and fell down. Before they could get up, they were caught by the Hu Ben Army who was chasing him.

What does it mean to be defeated like a mountain?

That's it.

The remnants of the Zheng family army were driven to run around the mountains by the Hu Ben Army. In order to escape, they panic and had people running in any direction. The original large groups of people dispersed, but later they all turned into scattered soldiers and wandering soldiers. The number of people following Zheng Chenggong continued to decrease. Later, except for the twenty or thirty people who were close friends, all the others disappeared.

After running for two consecutive days, Zheng Chenggong and the others were exhausted. He felt that if he continued to run, he might not be able to catch up in one breath and would fall to the ground. However, they did not dare to stop and rest. Because the Hu Ben Army was still chasing him tightly. The distance between the two sides was only two or three hours away. If they stopped, they would definitely be caught by the Hu Ben Army.

"Oh shit!"

"Can't you run slower?"

Zheng Chenggong's heart is really not to mention how depressed he is.

The pursuit of the Hu Ben Army was indeed too fierce. Zheng Chenggong had never seen such a fierce army before. The running ability of those black slaves was excellent, but it was still far inferior to the Hu Ben Army. No wonder even the Tartars were trapped in the hands of the Hu Ben Army. These Hu Ben Army were simply not human!

He had no idea that Yin Fengyi's original army was the Min-character camp. The core main force of the Zhuque Legion was also the Min-character camp. As the name suggests, he knew that this was a fast-moving force. In fact, when attacking Andongwei, the Min-character camp fully utilized its scud legs, leaving a deep impression on Zhang Zhun.

When forming the four major legions, Zhang Zhun specially left the name Zhuque to Minzi Camp. What is Zhuque? Phoenix! The phoenix soared into the sky, and the speed is too much to say? After the establishment of the Zhuque Legion, it still retains the characteristics of the Scud. Not to mention whether it can fight or not. The ability to run away with these two legs is definitely ranked first among the four major legions.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Zhuque Legion chased the broken Zheng family army into chaos and in great pain. The enemies who were really unable to run had to look for places to hide everywhere. The coffin holes, dead pits, and so on the roadside, as long as they could be avoided, people would get in desperate need of them. Some simply raised their hands to surrender. Some even would rather give themselves a pleasure than continue to run away.

Especially those black people, there is no hidden possibility. Their skin color is obviously different from those of the Ming people. Once discovered, they will be killed alive. Well, for the black people, Zhang Zhun's order, they can catch them alive as much as possible. These black slaves work well. On Sado Island, a lot of labor is needed!

It is hard to escape from Nanjing. When Zheng Chenggong fled to Lishui, he could no longer run. He had been running for three days and three nights in a row. Without a war horse, he could not even breathe. The worst thing was that he and Zheng Shouyuan were lost. Zheng Shouyuan was old after all, and could not keep up with the pace of young people. Not long after Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Shouyuan got separated, he heard a mess of gunfire from behind. It was estimated that Zheng Shouyuan was in danger of his life.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong should be glad that the Suzaku Legion was not equipped with cavalry, otherwise he would have been captured long ago. In the Jiangnan region, the water net was crisscrossing, and the cavalry was difficult to play a role here. Therefore, the Suzaku Legion was the only one with no cavalry to cooperate in combat. However, the equipment of the troops was specially strengthened, which was conducive to fighting in the Jiangnan water town. For example, everyone was equipped with special equipment such as hats, raincoats, and water shoes.

"Oh shit!"

"Don't worry!"

"I want to take a break!"

As Zheng Chenggong ran, his legs suddenly became weak and paralyzed on the ground and could no longer move.

Running from Nanjing City until now, without any rest in the middle, is simply too cruel for the eldest son of the Zheng family. If it weren't for the efforts to save his life, Zheng Chenggong would definitely not have been able to run so far.

Everyone around Zheng Chenggong was exhausted. Zheng Chenggong became paralyzed, and they also became paralyzed. Some people may be too tired. After they became paralyzed, they suddenly had their whole body spasms, foamed at the mouth, and then became unconscious. People around them, including Zheng Chenggong, have become accustomed to this phenomenon and no one pays attention to it.

When he ran away, Zheng Chenggong's preparation was very insufficient, and he did not carry any food or water at all. Along the way, he ate whatever he found, drank water whatever he saw, and drank countless yellow mud water. Now, next to his paralyzed place, there was a nest of pretty clear accumulated water. He hurriedly lowered his head and drank water greedily.

"Tait!"

Suddenly, from the north, the sound of rapid footsteps came.

Such footsteps were simply a nightmare for Zheng Chenggong. Because, this means that the pursuers of the Hu Ben Army were approaching again. If they were caught by the Hu Ben Army, the idiots knew that there was nothing good. There was no way, so Zheng Chenggong had to work hard to get himself up and continue to run for his life.

However, no matter how hard Zheng Chenggong tried, he could no longer stand up. His consciousness commanded his limbs to make himself stand up. However, his limbs did not obey his command at all. His legs seemed to have completely lost consciousness.

However, the people around Zheng Chenggong struggled to get up and continued to flee to the south. No one looked at Zheng Chenggong who was paralyzed on the ground. The money fell and scattered. At this point, no one cared about who Zheng Chenggong was.

"It's over..."

Zheng Chenggong sighed helplessly.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

Suddenly, a roar came from my ears.

Zheng Chenggong was shocked and subconsciously looked up and saw a group of Tiger Army soldiers surrounding him. These Tiger Army soldiers were also panting and sweating profusely, and some of them were still pale. However, they could still stand firm after all, and they could still aim at the target with muskets. This is the gap.

Such a gap seems not very obvious, but it takes years of training to achieve it. No one else can do it except the soldiers of the Suzaku Legion.
To be continued...
