Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Tiandi Army? Zheng Keshuang knew about them. He had met them once in Goryeo. They were the elite among the elites!

Moreover, he had a life-and-death bet with Wei Xiaobao, and he hoped that he would dare to avenge the murder of his master by means of martial arts instead of sending troops.

If what Liu Guogan said was true, and if the Tiandi Army really occupied Taichung, then the problem would be serious. Wei Xiaobao would not abide by the code of conduct and would send troops to take revenge.

Zheng Keshuang couldn't help but frown and cast his gaze towards the group of noisy ministers below.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on Feng Xifan.

Feng Xifan immediately understood what Zheng Keshuang meant and nodded in understanding.

Then he shouted loudly: "My Lords, please be quiet for a moment and let me speak a few words."

Everyone knows that Feng Xifan is now second only to one person and above ten thousand people. Who dares not to give him this face? The hall suddenly fell silent.

“Everyone should know that when the old prince passed away, General Liu Guogan was fighting hard against the Dutch in Taichung.

But today, he suddenly led his army to withdraw, claiming that it was because the Tiandi Army captured Taichung. Humph, this is simply nonsense!

Now, our top priority is to establish the Kingdom of Dongning as soon as possible and enthrone the young prince as the first emperor of the Kingdom of Dongning.

The coronation ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, and all preparations are in full swing.

Therefore, before the grand ceremony, everything else must give way to the coronation ceremony."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Only Liu Guogan's son Liu Zihua stood up and asked, "Young Prince, what should I do with my father?"

Zheng Keshuang looked at Feng Xifan, who said, "Send someone to tell the young prince to stop the Tiandi Army on the spot and not to retreat!"

Liu Zihua sat back in his original seat uneasily.

The next morning, Liu Guogan sat in the tent, staring blankly ahead, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

At this time, the eunuch sent by the palace came to convey the young prince's oral instructions, but Liu Guogan couldn't help feeling a little confused and worried.

Why did the oral order not come from Prince Zheng Jing or Regent Zheng Kezang, but from the incompetent Second Young Master?

Liu Guogan knew that Prince Zheng Jing was in poor health and might not be able to hold on for too long. At this moment, the sudden oral order made him even more worried about the situation. He couldn't help but wonder if the prince had an accident? This thought made him panic.

Just as Liu Guogan fell into deep thought, a scream from afar broke the silence.

A soldier came running over breathlessly, shouting in panic: "General, it's not good, the Tiandi Army is catching up with us!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Liu Guogan's heart.

"What?" Liu Guogan widened his eyes in disbelief.

The day before yesterday, when they retreated to the border of Changhua and Yunlin, they were blocked by 50,000 elite soldiers transferred from the Shuntian Prefecture camp. They could not retreat any further, otherwise they would face the consequence of being killed without mercy.

However, now the Tiandi Army has caught up with them, which undoubtedly brings them tremendous pressure.

Liu Guogan hurried to the front of the formation, and the scene before him made him gasp.

More than 20,000 soldiers of the Tiandi Army were on full alert, ready to attack.

The heavy artillery that had once caused him to lose many soldiers and generals was set up again and aimed at their camp.

Liu Guogan turned his head and looked behind him, and found that the 50,000 Zheng troops sent by Shuntianfu Camp were also sharpening their swords and pointing their red cannons at his army.

All this made Liu Guogan feel desperate. He realized that he was in a desperate situation, with wolves in front of him and tigers behind him, trapped between the two armies and unable to move.

"Alas!" Liu Guogan sighed and said helplessly: "Hang the white flag. They are also Chinese. It is not shameful to surrender to the Chinese."

At the same time, on the Tiandi Army side, the commander of the 1st Division, Xiao Youzheng, was anxiously urging the artillery regiment on the phone to adjust the artillery positions as soon as possible, preparing to launch a fierce artillery attack on Zheng Jun's Liu Guoxuan's troops that were blocking the road ahead.

However, at this moment, a staff officer beside him suddenly reported to him: "Division Commander, Liu Guoxuan has surrendered and has hoisted the white flag."

Liu Guoxuan's action of hanging the white flag was not only seen by the Tiandi Army, but also witnessed by the Zheng Army in the rear.

This action aroused great anger from the commander of the Zheng army. He roared in anger: "Fire the cannons immediately and bombard those traitors hard!"

As his orders were issued, hundreds of huge iron bombs rained down from the rear, ruthlessly smashing down on Liu Guogan's position, causing chaos and heavy casualties.

Xiao You heard the enemy's artillery fire, and when he looked again, he saw that it was Liu Guoxuan's troops who were being destroyed by the right wing of Zheng's army behind him.

He hurriedly shouted to the artillery commander Wang Huaiyu on the other end of the phone: "Commander Wang, quickly aim at Zheng's red cannon and fire back!"

Then, he looked at Liu Guoxuan's troops in front of him who were being bombed, his eyes full of pity, and then turned to the staff and ordered: "Use the loudspeaker to tell them to come closer to our position as soon as possible."

At this moment, the artillery regiment's 175 heavy artillery made a deafening roar, and one shell after another whistled into the distance.

The Red Cannon position of Zheng's army ten kilometers away was instantly engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. The sound of artillery shells exploding came one after another, and gunpowder barrels also exploded one after another. The huge impact force lifted Zheng's Red Cannon and artillerymen into the air, and then they fell heavily to the ground, blown to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the artillery fire began to extend, and shells fell on Zheng’s positions like raindrops.

Those densely packed squares were bombarded by artillery shells, and every explosion caused a large number of casualties among the soldiers, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, it was a horrific sight.

The entire battlefield turned into a hellish scene, with corpses and debris everywhere, which was horrifying.

The Zheng army had never experienced such a scene before. They were terrified and at a loss.

How could this be called a war? It was simply divine punishment from heaven, hell on earth!

Those Zheng troops who were not injured in the explosion threw away their weapons and armor and ran desperately towards Tainan, trying to escape from this land of death.

Xiao You stood on a high place, holding a telescope, and calmly observed the situation on the battlefield. When he saw the defeated Zheng army, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He turned to the staff officer beside him and said, "Leave one regiment to guard the prisoners of Liu Guoxuan's army, and the others should speed up. Tomorrow morning, the headquarters requires us to arrive at Shuntian Prefecture in Tainan."

It is still about 64 kilometers from Yunlin to Tainan, but for the well-trained Tiandi Army, a one-day forced march is not a problem.

They quickly formed a team and headed towards Tainan with the joy of victory and firm belief.

Tomorrow is Zheng Keshuang’s coronation ceremony, and Wei Xiaobao decided to give him a “big gift”.

At the same time, the West Coast ships of the Navy's Eastern Fleet and Northern Fleet, which had joined forces in Taichung, received orders from the military to arrive at the Shuntianfu Wharf in Tainan this evening to meet with the 551, 552, 553, and 554 transport ships led by the Commander-in-Chief.
