Please ask me to be the emperor

"Dang Kouhou, the city of Hangzhou is ahead!" Xu Fuyuan stood on the bow of the ship and gave directions to Zheng Zhifeng.

It turns out that Hangzhou is five hundred miles away from Zhoushan. After Zhang Shun occupied Hangzhou, he marched for a day and sent the information to Zhoushan. After Zheng Zhifeng heard Xu Fuyuan's suggestion, he reorganized the navy and galloped all night. Only at dawn the next day, he finally sailed into the Qiantang River.

Zheng Zhifeng looked at the wide Qiantang River and saw that the city of Hangzhou was still in sight. She couldn't help but encourage her loudly: "Okay, everyone, work harder. When we land, we will be victorious!"

"Uh... Lord Marquis, we... we can't beat them!" As soon as Zheng Zhifeng finished speaking, someone reminded her.

In the Battle of Nanjing, more than 10,000 elite soldiers faced off against 3,000 rebels, but they were driven back into the water like ducks, which completely demoralized the soldiers under Zheng Zhifeng.

"What are you afraid of?" Zheng Zhifeng became anxious when he heard this, "The 'Shun Thief' also has one head and two legs, but he must not have three heads and six arms!"

"Master Marquis, look at what you said!" After hearing this, Zuo Zuo couldn't help but retort, "The toad also has to have two arms, two legs, a pair of eyes and a mouth. Can it be the same?"

Zheng Zhifeng almost lost her temper after hearing this.

If it had been left to the past, he would have killed this person to establish his authority.

However, the defeated general is not brave enough. If he kills this person today, he may not be able to convince the public.

He had no choice but to coax: "That 'Shun Thief' has been traveling for four days and three nights. He is a tough man. I'm afraid he has been reduced to a puddle of mud by exhaustion!

"

"What's more, he is known as a lecherous person, and his body has long been drained by wine and sex. We took the opportunity to kill him, and it was all for nothing!"

After hearing this, everyone calmed down and finally agreed to go to Hangzhou City.

In fact, don’t forget that Hangzhou City is close to the Qiantang River. Due to the unnatural tide of the Qiantang River, there are basically no decent ports on both sides of the Qiantang River.

If you dare to come from the sea normally, you will either dock in Ningbo, or at the mouth of the Qiantang River, and finally in Haining.

However, on the one hand, Zheng Zhifeng and his team were really frightened by Zhang Shun on land, and on the other hand, they wanted to "take advantage of the opportunity", so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and land in Hangzhou.

Not long after, Zheng Zhifeng and his team arrived outside Hangzhou. They saw a beautiful city at the foot of the green mountains unfolding in front of them like a picture scroll.

When the fishing boats and merchant ships in the Qiantang River saw Zheng's navy arriving, they were so frightened that they fled.

Zheng Zhifeng quickly ordered people to search for a landing site. After searching for a long time, he found a place with deep water before letting the ship slowly approach.

"Ha, the thief is really unprepared!" As soon as everyone stepped ashore, they saw that there was no one everywhere, and the gate of Hangzhou City was also open, and they couldn't help but said with great joy.

"Form up, form into the city, don't underestimate the enemy!" Zheng Zhifeng, while overjoyed, couldn't help but remind her loudly.

As the saying goes: Every encounter leads to wisdom. Last time Zheng Zhifeng suffered a big loss, but this time he was much more cautious.

Following his order, a group of soldiers who had just disembarked from the ship quickly began to form an array.

It's just that this group of people is better at water warfare than land warfare, and for a while they fell into chaos.

Just when Zheng Zhilong frowned, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon, and a group of armored cavalry suddenly came out from the foothills to the west.

"Array, array!" Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help but became anxious when she saw it, and shouted loudly.

But where is the time?

I saw Wukong leading the way, leading three hundred armored knights to crash into him.

The weight of men and horses plus the iron armor is no less than a thousand pounds. Now that they have collided with each other, it is beyond the reach of human power.

Only a scream of misery was heard, and the infantry, which was originally in confusion because of the formation, was unexpectedly charged by Wukong, killing them from west to east.

"It's terrible, it's terrible!" Xu Fuyuan was stunned for a moment when he saw the rebel cavalry being so ferocious.

As an armchair scholar, what he was thinking about was five thousand recharged elites facing more than a thousand tired soldiers. How could he lose this battle?

However, the facts tell him that he can lose however he wants!

Although he couldn't imagine it in his mind, swords and guns would not get used to him.

"Sir, sir, what should we do now?" Just when Xu Fuyuan was stunned, Zheng Zhifeng's voice suddenly rang out.

Xu Fuyuan glanced at Zheng Zhifeng dully, then looked at the soldiers on the bank who were being slaughtered by the rebel cavalry, and couldn't help but said in a battle: "Fight...fight..."

"Okay!" Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help but was stunned, and said that Xu Fuyuan wanted to fight to the end.

"If you can't beat me...just...just leave!" Xu Fuyuan finally said it clearly.

"..." Zheng Zhifeng almost cursed her on the spot after hearing Xu Fuyuan's words.

Are you kidding me? Do you think fighting is child's play? You can come and leave whenever you want?

Even if you can come and leave whenever you want, wouldn't this battle become a joke that cost you your life thousands of miles away? Then what kind of soldiers will you lead and what kind of battles will you fight in the future?

At a thought, Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help but loudly ordered: "Prepare artillery for support!"

"Then...there are still our people up there..." Zuo Zuo was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but remind him quickly.

"Get it right!" Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhifeng answered exactly like this.

It turns out that this battle is not only a matter of victory or defeat, but also a matter of morale of the Zheng Navy.

If this time, it collapses at the first touch, then next time the soldiers and horses under his command may never be able to fight on land again.

So no matter what, I must earn some face this time before leaving.

Zheng Zhifeng's plan was finalized, and soon the warships in the Qiantang River formed a line and began violently bombarding the shore.

The dense artillery shells were like hailstones, crackling down on the head. However, the rebel cavalry were galloping back and forth and were not easily hit. On the contrary, Zheng's infantry were in a mess. They were hit hard by a few more accidentally, and many of them were accidentally injured. Less lives.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Just as Zheng's navy's cannons were ringing, suddenly there was only a burst of gunfire, and ten iron bullets suddenly flew from the mountain and smashed into the fleet.

"Report, the big bird boat No. B was hit by a bullet, and the plywood was penetrated!" Some soldiers had already reported in flag language.

"Zhi Niang, give me the order to fight back!" He has more than a hundred warships under his command. In addition to transport ships, sentinel ships, sand ships and other small ships, there are also fifteen new big bird ships.

Each Big Bird ship carries more than 20 cannons. How can we see the rebel army's ten land cannons?

"Boom, boom, boom!" Following Zheng Zhifeng's order, a dense burst of artillery shells suddenly hit the rebel artillery position.

However, after the artillery fire was completed, ten more shells flew out not long after.

"Straight bitch, hit me, hit me hard!" Zheng Zhifeng was so angry that she couldn't help shouting.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Along with bursts of gunfire, countless artillery shells flew towards the rebel artillery positions.

However, no matter how he fought, the rebels counterattacked with no more or less shells, exactly ten.

"What's going on? What's going on? Why did it miss!" Zheng Zhifeng couldn't believe her eyes.

"General, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better... let's leave as soon as possible. We'll keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!" At this time, Xu Fuyuan also came to his senses and couldn't help but hurriedly persuaded.

"I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in!" Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help shouting to Xu Fuyuan.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, after firing seven or eight rounds in a row, he had to admit that "I don't know what kind of evil spell was used" and that he could not hit the rebel artillery at all, so he had to gather up the remaining soldiers and left in dismay.

"Your Highness, why can't they hit us?" The four girls, who had already been awakened by the sound of cannons, couldn't help but ask.

"Did you see that? It's called a reverse slope. The opponent's shells were all blocked by rocks!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but pointed out.

It turns out that since Zhang Shun chose Phoenix Mountain as his stronghold, he naturally would not fail to choose artillery positions in advance.

He happened to find that a mountain ridge was an excellent artillery position. As long as the artillery was deployed behind the mountain ridge, the mountain ridge would block most of the enemy artillery shells for the artillery.

The other cannonball will fall into the valley behind after crossing the mountain ridge.

This is the famous "anti-slope tactic" in later generations. How can a direct-fire cannon like the Hongyi Cannon hit a target?

"Then...then they just let them go?" The four girls asked a little unhappily when they saw Shi Shiran, the navy master of the Zheng family, leaving.

"What can we do if we don't let them go?" Zhang Shun pointed to the mountain and then down the mountain.

"We only have eight flags and a thousand soldiers. We can still take advantage on land, but what else can we do in the navy?"

"Ah? Don't we have a navy?" the fourth girl asked a little worriedly.

"Yes, when I was in Songjiang, I ordered the navy to be mobilized to go south, but I don't know when it will arrive!" Zhang Shun sighed and replied helplessly.

It turned out that Zhang Shun had been thinking about it since Xia Yunyi offered him a plan to capture Hangzhou and Ningbo.

Hangzhou was fine, but Ningbo was the number one port in China at that time, and maybe even the number one port in East Asia.

As a visitor from later generations, no one can understand the huge role and huge benefits brought by this kind of trading port better than him.

Whether Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan, or Zheng Zhifeng thought that his main target was Hangzhou, in fact, his main target was Ningbo, or even more accurately, the entire trading port including Ningbo and Zhoushan Islands.

However, this area of ​​​​ports and islands was occupied by the Zheng Navy led by Zheng Zhifeng. Zhang Shun had to risk his own life to attract firepower, while hoping that his navy could gain some momentum and capture Ningbo Port first, and then Then slowly drive away the Zheng navy.

However, he never expected that Zheng's naval force would stretch its hips so much. He was overwhelmed by Wukong's vanguard cavalry before he even got out of his stance to attack.

The good news is that the city of Hangzhou was defended; the bad news is that the Zheng Navy was not able to contain it and allowed him to escape again!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look at the vast sea from a distance, and said to himself: "Huang Shoucai, Zhao Lizi, you two must not let me down!"
