Chapter 79 Pig Teammates

Outside Ziyang City, a team of Zheng's army did not accept the convoys of the Tartars at night and met the sentinels on a narrow road.

Zheng Zhilong naturally attached importance to the movements of the Qing army, and immediately spread the night in his hand to monitor the Qing army's every move.

Dai Jiaji is a solid 'fortress'. After Zheng Zhilong created this solid turtle shell, he was able to take the initiative to attack so as to restrain the Qing army under the city of Ziyang. Otherwise, what's the use of stopping his troops in Dai Jiaji?

Zhou Yi looked at the Eight Banners soldiers in front of him, and his eyes were flashing with a divine light that was not afraid. They had fought with the Eight Banners' whistle drivers for a while. Everyone had a head on their necks, and no one could have more lives than anyone else...

"Brother, let's go to them." A middle-aged man beside him urged and shouted. There were more than a dozen Tartars on the opposite side, and they also had ten cavalry, and half of them were equipped with handguns. Don't be afraid of them!

This middle-aged man who was not afraid of the Tartars was thick and black. He was about thirty years old. He was wearing a chain mail in the middle and a thick felt-style coat on the outside. He was a long-maned horse under his crotch, eating hay boredly.

While talking, the middle-aged man rubbed the pistol in the bag with his palm. He had been getting this thing for five or six days and had been skilled in fiddling with it, but he had not yet sent it to Lishi. This made him feel itchy, and now he felt impatient when he saw the Tartars.

Zheng Zhilong made many hand guns, which were the credentials of officers at the Zheng army's platoon level or above. But for those who were led by Zhou Yi, the hand guns were a proof of their glory and a medal of glory.

If a person who fails to collect the pistol at night can get the pistol, the only proof is that he has the Tartars' head. If he does not have a head, he will be the big official and will not give you a pistol. Zheng Zhilong is to prevent his fighting spirit from falling and he is infected with pistol dependence.

Because compared with large-scale battle formations and fighting between whistle and cavalry, the significance and function of the handgun will be released perfectly.

"Run once?" Zhou Yi glanced at him, "Just rely on the chain mail on us?"

They didn't take it at night. Although several people in the team got the pistols, looking at the opposite side, more than a dozen cavalry were not ordinary sentinels of the Tartars, and everyone was wearing heavy armor. Isn't they using their own shortcomings to attack these individuals to attack the enemy's strengths?

"This battle hasn't started yet. When we change into iron armor, there is a chance for you to charge."

But just as Zhou Yi was about to take the people behind him to turn the horse head back to the camp, the middle-aged man suddenly shouted, and indeed the Qing whistle cavalry on the opposite side divided the five cavalry to attack them.

Zhou Yi's face was stunned at first, and then he showed a happy look. The enemy had more than a dozen cavalry, so he couldn't afford to offend him. But now there are only five enemies left, so if you want to escape again, you are afraid of death and avoiding war.

"Brothers, follow me-" With the order, the cavalry behind them rushed out one after another.

"Kill the Tartars--"

"Kill the Tartars--"

Ten fights five, Zhou Yi and the others are full of confidence. The Qing soldiers on the opposite side are also full of confidence.

Both sides use bows and arrows. If they want to shoot arrows on the back of the cycling horse, that is not something that ordinary soldiers can do. The combat power of the Eight Banners soldiers is not weak, and they are not good either.

The Tartars' riding and shooting are never against a single person, they are aimed at large numbers of enemies and shoot arrows in the general direction.

This is true whether it is the Jurchen or Mongolia.

If you want to compete with the Green-faced Beast School Field, the small soldiers and whistle cavalry can be on their backs, which is only imagination.

Two groups of people came out against each other, Zhou Yi held a knife in his right hand and secretly took out the pistol. He stared at the person in front of him, who was lying on the horse's back, his eyes coldly. Even with dozens of steps, Zhou Yi could feel the viciousness.

Taking a breath, and estimating it briefly, Zhou Yi suddenly raised his flintlock gun, and with a gun, the gun flew away with a whizz, and it was about to hit the opposite target... The horse, with a lead bullet, shot the horse's head against the head, without saying a word, the war horse fell to the ground, and the man was instantly dropped.

It was not just one gunshot, but several gunshots, which mostly hit the war horse. Even if the bullet of the handgun was not in the right place, it could also cause a heavy blow to the war horse on the spot.

The Qing soldiers on the horse were caught off guard, and only two of the five people broke away from the horse's back in time and rolled over to the ground.

But before they could stand firm, Zhou Yi and others had already arrived.

A splash of sword light cut across a person's neck, and blood easily took away a life. Don't be afraid of the dark middle-aged man who is a Tartar and don't laugh too happily.

One of the Eight Banners soldiers was directly thrown away, and the other one was dead and could not die again. The remaining one was the best luck, and everyone was awake, but just after he saw the situation clearly, a short knife penetrated his neck.

Zheng Zhilong did not go to the city of Ziyang, and the Qing army did not come to attack Dai Jiaji, where he was stationed, but the fighting among the cavalry did not stop for a moment. Both sides were killed or injured. Zhou Yi's men had originally had 140 or 50 people at night, but now there are only 100 people left.

"Boom boom boom..." The rolling sound of horse hooves suddenly came into the ears of Zhou Yi and others. This sound could not be made by the few Tartars who rushed over from the opposite side.

It was the large army of the Tartars, no wonder everyone in front of them was heavy armor. So, the goal of the Qing army's preparations before was to Dai Jiaji? Zhou Yi was anxious and shouted: "Go away--"

...

Daijiaji, a small town, is located twenty miles east of Ziyang City, on the banks of the Sishui River.

There were nearly 300 households here, which was a prosperous town with men, women, young and one or two thousand men. However, with the arrival of the Qing army, the house was empty. When Zheng Zhilong led his troops here, there was no one to see.

Taking advantage of the station where both sides were at peace, Zheng Zhilong urged the soldiers every day to repair and strengthen the defense of the town.

First, we cut down trees, cut down wood and demolished houses, built the camp wall all the way to the Sishui embankment, and then used the original town wall of the town to divide the Daijiaji, which was distributed along the Sishui River embankment into two parts. There is a small camp to the south and the main camp to the north.

Not all Daijiaji people live in the town hall wrapped in the town wall. This is easy to understand, just like the four gates of many cities. Outside the city gate is not an empty white land, but a gathering of many people and businesses.

When a dynasty enters a stable stage, the reproduction of population and the development of urban commerce will promote the birth of this phenomenon. Some important and prosperous towns will even set up unique cities.

Daijiaji is just a small town, so naturally there is no city left. However, there are many houses outside the town walls extending along the river embankment. Zheng Zhilong only uses this piece as the protection of the main site. Just as he chose Daijiaji as his place to stay, he is looking at the Sishui embankment on the east side of Daijiaji. At this time, although the latter cannot be turned into absolute defense, it is also an obstacle line that can be relied on.

If a war horse cannot gallop, even infantry, trekking on the slippery ice surface of the Si Shui River, its movement ability is greatly hindered.

Zheng Zhilong even asked someone to set up a new village on the right hand of Dai Jiaji, that is, on the west side, to the north. One is not large in size and only about a mile around it, but it is a cannon barricade with four protruding edges.

Even if the earth in winter is as hard as iron, as long as you are willing to work hard - burn the hot land, you can still break ground.

This small-scale new village does not have extremely thick earth walls, nor does it dig trenches around the earth walls. Seasons do not allow, and time does not allow. So it is not a bastion at all.

Except for the form of protruding four edges, it is exactly the same as the traditional Ming army camp.

If the Qing army had red barbarian cannons, it would be easy to break the walls of the new village. Because the village walls here, the village walls of Nanying and the village walls of the center main camp were repaired using the same method. The village walls made of two rows of logs sandwiched with rammed earth in the middle can reach a height of 500 feet and a thickness of nearly three feet. It is a solid step for the crossbow bird gun, as long as they are not directly hit by the red barbarian cannon.

This new village can guard the main camp from the west and the north, and can also support the southern camp, because the only four red cannons in Zheng Zhilong's hand are all arranged here.

After the main defensive fortifications were over, Zheng Zhilong began to decorate the fortifications on the periphery, which were classical and very extraordinary.

Classical things are to set up layers of horse-resistance, sheep and horse walls outside the village, and scatter caltrops.

What’s novel is that he asked people to break through the solid ice layer of Si Shui and take water to water and freeze on the ground. This was watering and freezing on the city walls, which had been there in ancient times, but it was very fresh when watering and freezing on the ground. But the effect is obvious. If you can’t even walk steadily, how can you talk about threats to the defenders?

When a large number of Qing troops appeared outside Daijiaji, the defenders inside and Minzhuang all expressed confidence that I was very calm. Because all the arrangements of Daijiaji made them feel very safe!

However, Zheng Zhilong was a little nervous. He didn't understand why the Tartar suddenly pointed the knife at him.

The Tartars had never suffered in the city of Ziyang, so how could they come to find their own troubles? They felt that their guns were not good? And why did the number of Tartars look so many?

Zheng Zhilong felt a little panicked.

I didn't know at all that the battle situation in Yanzhou, from the moment Abatai decided to go south, the strength of both sides was completely unbalanced, and all Zheng Zhilong's wishful thinking was destined to be broken.

Earlier, Zheng Zhiguan pulled Confucius and Meng into the water, disrupting Zheng Zhilong's plan and making Qufu and Zou County two big burdens. But he still felt that he still had a great chance of winning, because he had already kicked Abatai out of the game when he was planning to do so. He thought Hong Chengchou could always restrain Abatai.

The cruel reality is now to teach him a good person - on the battlefield, don't trust friendly forces too much.

Especially the pig teammates like Ming Jun.

Zheng Zhilong was very calm!

When you encounter unexpected situations that you expect, you will panic. This is the performance of a newcomer on the battlefield. This is very Zheng Zhilong.
