The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 534 How Lonely Is Invincible
One intentionally attacked, the other was completely unprepared, and the so-called [-] defenders were not full, and this also included the grooms who fed the army horses.

Moreover, the target of this sneak attack was the thousands of army horses, not the captured defenders, so it was destined to be a battle of defeat, not annihilation.

The soldiers of the second battalion and the first company rushed to the front, and the bullets flew out, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army who came head-on fell down one after another.

These defenders, who still mainly use cold weapons, have fallen into a disadvantage from the beginning, and only have to be beaten.

The mortars of the Qin army followed the infantry, and when they found that there was a slight gathering of enemies, the shells fell there precisely, and the defenders who exploded were crying and howling, and fled in all directions.

And the most unlucky thing was that in the first round of shelling, the main defender was pierced into the throat by a splash of shell fragments, and it was even more difficult to organize the leaderless defenders.

The battle process was very easy for the Qin army, even easier than an exercise.In less than half an hour, there were not many left of the three thousand defenders.

When Elder King Yilian stood at the gate of the horse farm and looked around, apart from dozens of trembling grooms who were feeding the horses and hadn't come to run, there was no living enemy in sight.

This made him feel an invincible sense of loneliness.

Qiao Shan, the deputy commander of the mortar company, rushed over with his guards. Looking at the horses in the racecourse, his excitement was beyond words, and he kept rubbing his hands and said, "Old Wang, Lao Wang, we sent you this time!" .Look, look at these military horses, how good they are! When we go back, the head of the regiment will definitely give us a great credit."

Only then did Lao Wang recover from the loneliness of the master, and he also went to see those army horses.

In the battle just now, some army horses were frightened and ran around, while some soldiers were driving them away.

"It's another group of cowards. They didn't fight at all, and they ran away before firing a few shots. I really don't know how that old boy Zheng Zhilong has the nerve to dominate one side? Is it just relying on these guys?"

Looking at the army and horses, Lao Wang once again started feeling invincible in the world, obviously he didn't enjoy this battle.

Qiao Shan ignored his emotion, and took people to find the grooms of the Zheng family army who hadn't had time to run away.

If you want to get these military horses back, you have to rely on the help of these grooms.Otherwise, it would be impossible to rely on them with two hundred people. These military horses would not be as obedient as those captives.

When it was getting dark, people from the first company and the mortar company, with the help of dozens of grooms, drove more than 2000 horses on the road.

As for the military horse farm, there was no fire.

The Qin army rarely engages in burning, killing and looting when they fight.Things can be robbed, but burning and killing is unnecessary, because in the eyes of Qin Jun, these places will be his own territory sooner or later.

Since they are all their own territory and their own property, there is no reason to set fire to their own house on their own territory.

The Second Regiment was originally a quick-reaction force, or dragoons (that is, infantry on horseback, who ride horses when marching and dismount when fighting), and they are also driven by military horses, so the speed of marching is not too slow.

When the sky was completely dark, they finally caught up with the liaison personnel left by the Second Regiment.

The liaison soldier was startled when he saw a large group of black shadows approaching and heard the sound of horseshoes, thinking that it was the Zheng family's army that was chasing them.

"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger!"

“Chicken Stew with Mushrooms!”

After the password was matched, the liaison personnel appeared from the woods on both sides of the road.

When they heard that the troops in the rear robbed the Zheng family's horse farm without waiting for the soldiers to pursue them, and snatched back more than 2000 horses, all the soldiers in the liaison squad were envious and complained why the troops in the rear were not their own troops.

……

The Second Regiment's action this time not only thwarted the Zheng Jiajun's surprise attack on Wenzhou, but also wiped out Zheng Jiajun's only firearms unit, and gained countless gains in the subsequent revenge actions, which dealt a heavy blow to Zheng Zhilong's gradually expanding ambitions.

This time the Qin army's revenge action caused Zheng Zhilong to suffer heavy losses. The granary was robbed, and he also lost 500 million taels of silver, more than 2000 army horses, and 6000 troops.

Of course, the most serious consequences are not these obvious losses, but this retaliatory action has had a serious impact on the morale of the Zheng family army.

They originally thought that relying on Zheng Jiajun's ability to wrestle with the imperial court, but they didn't expect Qin Jun to be so difficult to deal with, and he was extremely vindictive.

In just a few days, Zheng Zhilong lost his wife and lost his army. It can be said that he felt real pain. This made him feel strongly jealous of Qin Jun, and he made up his mind that if nothing happened, he would never provoke him. Qin Jun is gone.

And because of Zheng Sen's defeat this time, the Zheng family's team, which was going to try to contain the Qin army from the sea, also retreated after hearing the news, no matter how much the British encouraged it, it was useless.

Although he, Zheng Zhilong, started his business on the sea, but now his family property and family are all on land.Even if he won the naval battle, he was still no match for the Qin army on land.

As long as Qin Jun doesn't come to beat him, he doesn't need to take the initiative to provoke Qin Jun.

And afterward, when Zheng Zhilong learned from various sources that the Qin army was dispatched this time with only a regiment of more than 1000 people, he sat blankly on the mahogany table and did not speak for a long while.

This army is terrible!This is the final conclusion drawn by Zheng Zhilong.

In short, after this incident, Zheng Zhilong became more honest than ever, and strictly restrained his subordinates from crossing the border to cause trouble, for fear of causing Qin Jun's revenge again.

By the way, even the merchants from the north are treated a lot better in the southeast region, which makes these merchants inexplicably grateful to the imperial court, which was only slandered before.

Although Zheng Zhilong calmed down, the other party involved in this incident and the most humiliating person in this incident—Zheng Sen had a great impact.

Zheng Sen did not recover from the setback, but made up his mind to avenge his shame in the future.

Therefore, after repeated requests, and after asking his father Zheng Zhilong for help, he joined the British mercenaries as a soldier, trained and acted together with those British soldiers.

This failure was regarded as a great humiliation by him, and it also allowed him to truly and intuitively see the gap with Qin Jun.The British had fought against the Qin army, and the British had rich combat experience, so they became Zheng Sen's most suitable teacher.

The British were also happy to see the success of this matter, and their initial refusal was nothing more than reserved.Zheng Sen's joining gave the British more confidence to tie the Zheng family to the British chariot.This provided a good opportunity for the British Empire to fully invade the Central China Continent in the future.

However, these are all later stories.
