When the Qing army opened the Luzhou city gate, Li Laiheng still felt a little unbelievable.

Just defeat the enemy without fighting?

This is the highest level of marching and fighting.

Wonderful, really wonderful!

It seems that the Ming army's combat strategy in the past was somewhat problematic. We should persuade the surrender first, or persuade the surrender with the greatest strength. If it really doesn't work, then attack the city.

After all, the siege of the Ming army was just a life-saving thing for the Ming army soldiers, which was really tragic.

Li Laiheng secretly thought that this tactic can be used as one of the conventional tactics in the future.

...

...

After obtaining the documents from the Ministry of War, Zheng Chenggong formally led his troops to fight.

Standing on the deck of the navy again, Zheng Chenggong was very excited.

More than ten years have passed since he pulled up a navy alone.

Too many things have happened in the past decade that Zheng Chenggong still feels like a dream.

"Father, if we can take down Taizhou this time, we can attack Jinhua, right?"

Zheng Jing was also a little excited. He still liked to fight in his bones, but he was controlled by the situation and sometimes had to stay in Nanjing.

This time it was a rare opportunity for him to perform.

If you perform well, your Majesty and your father will let him go on a frequent expedition in the future, right?

Zheng Jing's words brought Zheng Chenggong back to reality.

He nodded gently and sighed: "Yes. If Taizhou can win a big victory in a battle, he can indeed walk to Jinhua."

Although the strength of Zheng Chenggong's army is water warfare, it is not that land warfare is absolutely a big deal.

In fact, infantry represented by the Iron Man Army are also very fierce.

It’s just that people’s inherent impression always believes that Zheng Chenggong was commanding a navy.

Jinhua Mansion is located in central Zhejiang. If it can be taken down, the Ming army will be very convenient to attack southern Zhejiang from any angle, rather than just encircling one side.

"Does your father think Shi Lang will take the initiative to seek a decisive battle?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard for you to figure out what Shi Lang is thinking."

Zheng Chenggong sighed: "But it doesn't matter. The general comes to block the water and the soil. No matter how Shi Lang chooses, he must take the head of his father this time."

After a moment of pause, Zheng Chenggong continued: "Send the order and move on the sail!"

...

...

Taizhou, Jiantiao Institute.

The main navy of the Qing army was entrenched here.

After some analysis, Shi Lang felt that if Zheng Chenggong came to attack Taizhou, this place would be a must-pass place.

Instead of waiting until Zheng Chenggong hits the doorstep before he hastily responded, it is better to take the initiative to ambush it.

In this way, even if you lose, there is still a possibility of retreating, and you will not be taken away once you are taken away.

For the Qing army, fault tolerance was a very critical point.

After all, the offensive and defensive momentum is different now, and the Ming army is the powerful side.

In this case, the Qing army could not fight too radically, and they should learn to try their best to gain some advantage while conservative.

"Look at General Shi, it seems that the Ming thief is coming!"

A personal soldier from Shi Lang pointed at a black dot in the distance.

Shi Lang looked over and took the monocular lens to observe carefully.

I saw a navy in my eyes, with large blessed ships next to each other, and each ship was hung with the Ming Dynasty flag.

Shi Lang let out a long breath and sneered in his heart: "Zheng Chenggong, you are finally here."

I've been waiting for you for a long time!

There is no need to say much about the grudge between Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang. It is naturally good for Shi Lang to have a chance to come and break it.

In the past, Zheng Chenggong caught him off guard, but now it is Shi Lang's turn to ambush Zheng Chenggong.

"Send the order and the entire army is ready. Once the Ming thieves enter the fjord, they will beat me hard!"

The reason why Shi Lang chose to ambush here is not only because this is a must-pass place for the Ming army? It is also because the terrain here is narrow, and if the Ming navy wants to pass through, it must shrink its formation as much as possible.

In this way, the numerical advantage of its navy warships cannot be reflected.

In this way, Shi Lang can consume the Ming army as much as possible as possible and gain some advantage.

The most important thing in the water battle is the initiative. Whoever can seize the initiative will gain a huge advantage.

Shi Lang does not think that the gap in strength between the two sides is so big that even this advantage cannot be made up for.

Come on? Come on!

Zheng Chenggong? I want to invite you to have a pot of good food!

...

...

"Father? You're going to enter the fjord in front. The hole in this fjord looks very narrow, and it seems that it's going to change its formation."

Zheng Jing pointed to the fjord not far away and said.

Zheng Chenggong frowned and said, "This terrain is very dangerous. Be careful."

"Order the whole army to cheer up and change the formation."

After Zheng Chenggong gave the order, the flag soldiers on the flagship started to whisper the flag. Then the entire navy's warship began to adjust its speed and quickly change its formation.

Soon the Ming army's formation became a sharp spear shape to quickly pass through the fjord.

But just after the warship in front entered the fjord? There were a burst of cannons.

Zheng Chenggong secretly shouted, "I'm in an ambush!"

He took out a monocular lens and looked carefully into the distance? Sure enough, he saw the Qing army warships lying on the other side!

Shi Lang, a dog who can't beat the front, will come to play with the secret!

Zheng Chenggong put down his telescope and ordered in a deep voice: "Order the entire army to aim the gun at the enemy to fight back!"

Although the formation of the Qing army could be fully unfolded? And the Ming army's ships were crowded together? Zheng Chenggong still believed that Shi Lang would not have any chance.

Shi Lang competed for this short time.

As long as Zheng Chenggong has to hold on? Don’t lose too much, you can bring back the disadvantages.

The Ming Navy warships adjusted their direction one after another and aimed their muzzles at the Qing army in the distance.

"put!"

With a loud command, shells flew out and crossed the sea and smashed towards the Qing army warships.

The Qing army was not willing to be outdone and burst into chaos.

For a moment, countless "fountains" were smashed on the sea? The scene was extremely lively.

Gradually, a warship was shot.

Some were smashed with masts? Some were hit on the side.

The sea water poured into the huge hole? It didn't take long before the warship lost its center of gravity and began to sink towards the sea.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army's warships, they cannot escape this as long as they are hit.

Shi Lang squinted his eyes? Enjoying this rare scene.

That's right. Zheng Chenggong is not an indestructible body of Vajra, why should you pretend so much?

Now, do you know how powerful this general is?

"All-out shelling? Don't stop!"

Although there were casualties on our side, Shi Lang didn't care at all.

In his opinion, as long as he can defeat Zheng Chenggong's main force in this battle, even if he changes one by one, he will not lose.

This not only boosts the morale of the Qing army, but also makes the Zheng Chenggong Navy lose its combat effectiveness for a long time.

In this way, the Qing army in southern Zhejiang will be safe in a short period of time, and have more time to deploy defenses and contact the Qing army in various parts of the south to work together to fight against the Ming army.
