"There is Dengzhou City ahead!"

On the vast sea, a navy was driving in a mighty manner.

Hundreds of ships are arranged in a regular shape, with almost the same speed, and from a distance they look very regular.

This is naturally the Northern Expedition Army with the Zheng Navy as its team.

Yu Qi clenched his fists, looking very excited and excited.

Although he had led his troops to leave Dengzhou for less than a year, he always felt that a long time had passed.

In the past year, he endured humiliation and trained the soldiers twice as much as possible to wait for this day of revenge.

He not only wants to take revenge but also proves himself, proving that he can take Dengzhou.

It was a forced one to leave Dengzhou, to preserve his strength. Now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally have to kill back and take back what belongs to him.

I have to say that this period of time in Huai'an was Yu Qi's happiest period.

Originally, he claimed to be a family of knowledge and kept holding on to the training methods of the Qi family army.

But when he came to Huai'an, he had been so arrogant before he discovered that he was so arrogant that he could see the sky from a well.

The Qi family army is indeed very sharp, but there should be different ways of dealing with different battle situations, and the Qi family army's training methods are not applicable at all times.

If you just hold on to this method, it may not only not have the ideal effect, but may also lead the soldiers to the qi path.

What Yu Qi learned the most was the line array and line-up shooting of the Hu Ben Army.

It is said that this is the creation of this son, His Majesty, the wise and powerful emperor.

This tactic is a killer weapon when fighting on a large scale in the plains.

The two sides opened up the formation and shot against each other, and the Hu Ben Army never lost.

From this alone, we can see the sharpness of the line-up shooting.

Yu Qi is not short of firearms.

Dengzhou can be said to be the place with the most firearms in the entire north.

Not only cannons, but also some other novel things.

At first, Yu Qi didn't pay much attention to it, and only felt that firearms were just some bulky things, especially artillery cannons could only be used to defend the city. But now he also had to combine firearms with the daily training of soldiers.

If you have an advantage, you won’t be able to get along with yourself.

After a period of adjustment, although the firearm ratio of the army under Yu Qi's command is not comparable to that of the Hu Ben Army and the Zheng family army, it is still among the forefront of the Ming army, which makes Yu Qi proud.

This attack on Dengzhou Yu Qi was a painstaking effort. Not only did he do many drills and planning on the sand table in advance, but he also frequently discussed with Zheng Jing and Gan Hui, taking almost all possibilities into consideration.

Yu Qi seems to be the special feature of Dengzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides.

This means that Dengzhou is different from any other city.

To attack Dengzhou, you must first control a dock or bay.

Only in this way can the navy army have a place to settle down.

Only with a place to settle down can the Ming army launch wave after wave of offensives, otherwise it would be rootless duckweed after all.

Yu Qi knew very well that there was an island called Tiger Jump Island on the sea not far from Dengzhou.

Although this small island is not big, it is very close to Dengzhou City. It only takes half an hour to get to Dengzhou City from Tiger Jump Island.

Therefore, Yu Qi strongly suggested that Zheng Jing first station the Navy army on the Tiger Triple Island.

In this way, the Ming army had a place to settle down and there was no need to rush to attack.

After hearing the news clearly, you can use Tiger Jump Island as a springboard to attack Dengzhou City.

This is much more reasonable than blindly striking the Bay Wharf blocked by the Qing army.

Of course, Zheng Jing followed the advice.

He has been influenced by his father for a long time and has gained his own understanding of naval battles.

He was very clear about the importance of islands and reefs to the navy army.

If there are no islands and reefs, the navy will only fight for one wave, no matter how powerful it is.

If a wave is not defeated, there will be an embarrassing situation of one move, and then decline, and exhaustion.

As long as the enemy makes timely adjustments and sends more troops to block the bay port, it will be difficult for the attacking side to make any progress.

This is also normal. After all, the defense has an innate advantage, which is much greater than that in land defense.

So after discussing with Yu Qiyi, Zheng Jing immediately decided to station on Hu Jue Island first, and then make a long-term plan.

The Northern Expedition cannot be handled in one or two months, so there is no rush.

Zheng Jing did not ask to shine in this Northern Expedition, as long as he was well-behaved and did not drag him down, it would be excellent.

Excluding the halo factor of his father Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing still hopes to achieve something with his own strength.

This Northern Expedition was his best opportunity.

As for Gan Hui, naturally, he had no objection.

In his opinion, the strength of the Ming army lies in its strong force, and the Qing army occupied an advantage in terrain.

If the Ming army wants to expand its advantages, it must win by surprise, and take advantage of the fact that the Qing army is not ready to kill them.

If both sides are ready to roll up their sleeves and start to dry, the Ming army's firepower advantage may not be able to be exerted.

However, Gan Hui was a little worried that he heard that the tiger jumped to the island was occupied by a nest of pirates.

He was not afraid of these pirates. It was as easy as crushing an ant to destroy these pirates.

Gan Hui was worried that he could not kill all these pirates.

If one or two were let go and these pirates reported to the Qing army, the Ming army's advantage would be reduced a lot.

Therefore, the Ming army must make plans to wipe out the pirates on the island as much as possible, with almost no fault tolerance.

The pirates lick blood on the blade all day long, and their vigilance is extremely high.

It is not easy to get close without their attention.

Especially a large ship like Fuchuan Guangchuan is too large in size. It looks so big from a distance. It is impossible not to be seen unless the pirates are all blind.

Therefore, Gan Hui suggested that the soldiers transfer to the island by boat after the main navy arrived at the periphery of Tiger Jump Island.

In this way, the pirates on the island would not discover the Ming army immediately.

As long as there is such a time difference, even a stick of incense is enough.

Zheng Jing agrees very much with this.

His father's life habit was not to fight unprepared wars.

If you take action, you must be sure to kill with one blow.

To deal with these pirates, it can be regarded as a killing knife for the Ming army, and it must be done accurately and beautifully. Otherwise, there would be no place to be the reputation of the Zheng family army alone.

This battle is normal for Yu Qi to be the pioneer. After all, if you know this generation, no one can compare with Qi.

And Yu Qi also held it in for a long time and wanted to vent.

If the Qing army is a real dish, then these pirates are just appetizers.

Yu Qi planned to use these pirates to practice hand-held warm-up, so that his condition would not be too bad for the Shangqing Army.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get out of the state all at once.

Zheng Jing readily agreed to this.

The father always taught him to know people and make good use of them and use the right people in the right position. Now he naturally has to try it out.
