Standing on the city wall of Xingguo Prefecture City, Zheng Chenggong looked happy, and Zheng Zhibao beside him laughed heartily. He won the first battle and the victory was clean and tidy. Although there were less than a thousand bandits stationed in Xingguo Prefecture City, none of them escaped.

, when the attack started, the entire city of Xingguo Prefecture was surrounded like an iron barrel, and not a single bird could even think of flying out.

Zheng Chenggong attached great importance to the first battle and sent sergeants from the Zheng family as the main force of the attack, and also used Hongyi artillery.

The attack did not last very long. In less than half an hour, the city gate was captured. All the bandits who did not die in the battle chose to surrender and did not resist stubbornly. The losses of the army were also very small. When the results were finally counted,

Less than a hundred soldiers were killed in the battle, and nearly a thousand bandits were killed or captured alive with a loss of less than a hundred people. Such a result is worthy of celebration.

"Fifth Uncle, according to the scout's investigation, the rogue bandit Zhang Xianzhong has not deployed many troops in Xingguo, Qizhou, Huangmei, Guangji and other places. I think we still need to quickly launch attacks on these cities to eliminate the forces behind us.

All hidden dangers, once we capture these cities, we can confidently and boldly launch an attack on Huangzhou Fucheng..."

Zheng Zhibao turned his head and looked at Zheng Chenggong.

"Success, I still say what I said, I will obey your command. As long as you give the order to fight, I will definitely obey..."

Zheng Chenggong smiled. Although this was his first victory since his expedition, such a victory was not worth showing off. After all, it was an army of 100,000 fighting against less than a thousand rogues. I am afraid that the rogues had already attacked before the attack even started.

I lost my fighting spirit and didn't want to fight at all, I just wanted to save my life.

"Uncle Wu, I am thinking that on the one hand, we must ensure the safety of the rear, and on the other hand, we must speed up the pace of operations. If it takes too much time to attack Qizhou and other cities, and wait until the rogue bandits dispatch the main force to Huangzhou Fucheng, we will

We have lost the best opportunity to attack Huangzhou Fucheng, so next, we divide our forces to fight."

"I was responsible for leading the troops to attack the two cities of Huangmei and Guangji, and my fifth uncle was responsible for leading the troops to attack the two cities of Qizhou and Daye. After taking these cities, we joined forces at Daye to launch the attack on Qishui.

, after taking Qishui, we can attack Huangzhou Fucheng..."

Zheng Zhibao shook his head.

"Success, I understand what you mean. Splitting the troops into two groups can save a lot of time. However, I will lead some of the sergeants to attack the two cities of Huangmei and Guangji, and you will lead the main force to attack the two cities of Qizhou and Daye.

I think the division of troops is like this. You will lead 40,000 sergeants from the Zheng family and 10,000 sergeants under Liu Zeqing to attack Qizhou and Daye. I will lead the rest of the sergeants to attack Huangmei and Guangji. We are still in Daye.

meet..."

Zheng Chenggong frowned slightly.

"Fifth Uncle, the sergeants under Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are not willing to use all their strength to launch an attack. They just said that in the battle to capture the city, their performance was very poor. If Fifth Uncle leads these sergeants to conquer Huangmei and Guangji,

City, I'm worried about something unexpected happening in the battle..."

Zheng Zhibao laughed.

"Success, you think too much. When it comes to Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, I don't think that much. Since I command them to fight, they must obey the command. There are not so many mothers-in-law on the battlefield. Who dares not to

If you obey the order and don't attack desperately, I will kill anyone. I want to see how many of their heads I can chop off..."

After Zheng Chenggong thought for a moment, he nodded.

"Fifth Uncle, you reminded me that kindness does not lead to military control. I was too kind before. Since the sergeants under Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are under our command, they must obey our orders. Who dares to disobey the battle orders?

Even if you rebel against the enemy, you must enforce military law. Only in this way will all the sergeants fight with all their strength..."

Zheng Zhibao's mind was simple and not that complicated, but he could still see the problem clearly. He turned around and looked around. There were soldiers surrounding him, and there was no irrelevant person approaching.

"Success, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, two bastards, what are you thinking that I don't understand? They don't want to send troops at all. If you hadn't forced them to send troops with the emperor's imperial edict, they wouldn't have agreed. The more they are like this

The more I think about it, the more I will make them pay the price. In the battle to attack Huangmei and Guangji, I will use their sergeants as the main force..."

Having said this, Zheng Zhibao looked around again, lowered his voice and spoke.

"Success, our political family has worked hard for so many years, and the eldest brother has suffered a lot before we are in the current situation. We can't cause trouble for the Zheng family. You are the leader of this battle. Let Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo

The sergeants under your command are responsible for the attack. It's no big deal. Besides, you didn't appoint yourself as the commander-in-chief. The emperor has an imperial edict, so Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo can't say anything. As long as we win the battle, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo will lose.

So what if a large number of sergeants dare to confront our Zheng family..."

Zheng Chenggong frowned again.

"Fifth Uncle, I understand the reason why you say that Ci does not command troops, but as the coach, I still have to be roughly fair. If any battle requires Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's sergeants as the main force, their losses will be

If they are too big, it may not be beneficial to us. If they jump over the wall in a hurry and simply withdraw their troops back to Zhejiang, can we still kill them all..."

Zheng Zhibao stamped his foot anxiously.

"Success, such a situation will not happen. If Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are in the army, it's uncertain. They are not in the army. Those officers do not dare to mess around. You have to know that if the sergeant escapes, the one who will be punished is

Officer, we don’t need to kill all the escaped sergeants, we just need to kill the officers..."

Zheng Chenggong stared at Zheng Zhibao with his eyes widened.

"Fifth Uncle, if we do this, wouldn't we completely fall out with Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo..."

Zheng Zhibao chuckled.

"If you succeed, you may not fall out. Even if you fall out, it won't be a big deal. It makes my Zheng family impatient, and they will take Zhejiang together with him..."

Zheng Chenggong's face turned a little pale, and he looked at Zheng Zhibao for a while before speaking.

"Uncle Wu, tell the truth, is this what you think..."

Zheng Zhibao's face also turned slightly red. He looked at Zheng Chenggong, laughed a few times and spoke.

"Success, you know my abilities. You didn't expect so much. Since you asked, let me tell you the truth. This is what my eldest brother means, your father. My eldest brother is worried that you are too kind. Thinking that you have never been

I didn’t lead the troops in battle, and it was my first time as the head coach. I had too many things on my mind, and I was too accommodating to Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, so I brought you a message to remind you all the time..."

There was not much expression on Zheng Chenggong's face.

"Fifth Uncle, after you have finished speaking, tell me all your father's instructions..."

Zheng Zhibao patted his forehead, and when he looked at Zheng Chenggong, his eyes were a little evasive.

"Success, brother didn't say much. You know all those instructions, and there are others I can't remember..."

Zheng Chenggong's expression finally changed slightly.

"Fifth uncle, if I insist on going my own way during the battle and cause too much loss to the Zheng family, will my father let you command the army and deprive me of my command rights? Also, when we enter Huguang this time, the most we can do is attack.

Huangzhou Fucheng cannot make any next move. No matter whether we can capture Huangzhou Fucheng or not, we must retreat and return to Fuzhou. Even if we defeat Li Dingguo or even win the battle with Zhang Xianzhong

, and must return to Fuzhou immediately..."

Zheng Zhibao had a slightly panicked expression on his face, watching Zheng Chenggong speak urgently.

"Success, don't think too much about it. You know your father's temper. In fact, your father is also fighting for the Zheng family. We entered Huguang to fight. The battle deployment has been determined long ago. With our small strength,

It is impossible to completely defeat Zhang Xianzhong. You also know this. I think that if we can capture Huangzhou Fucheng, it will be a major victory. We can leave Huguang and return to Fuzhou..."

Zheng Chenggong smiled coldly.

"My father is so worried, why don't he lead the troops to fight in person, so that he can have a better grasp. The combat deployment determined by his father must be changed according to the actual situation. If we don't think about anything and follow the combat deployment completely, I'm afraid it will be real by then.

I suffered a disastrous defeat. Uncle Wu, since my father has said so much to you, I won’t say more. I just hope that Uncle Wu can truly support me and support all the decisions I make. Of course, if I have a hot-headed

When the time comes, Uncle Wu remembers to remind me..."

Zheng Zhibao nodded quickly.

"Success, don't say any more. I will definitely listen to you, but you must also think about your father and don't lose too many sergeants. Our Zheng family cannot afford it..."

Zheng Chenggong still had little expression on his face.

"Fifth Uncle, even if you don't tell me about this matter, I know how much loss the Zheng family can bear. I have already thought about it. I will pay special attention to it during the battle. I will never let the soldiers under my command die in vain.

, I will plan every battle in detail. The sergeants under Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are also human beings, and I am not willing to watch them die in vain."

"Fifth Uncle, I still want to remind you that when attacking the two cities of Huangmei and Guangji, don't always think about protecting the sergeants of my Zheng family. Regardless of the sergeants under Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, wait until we attack Huangzhou.

When we reach Fucheng, I'm afraid there won't be many troops left to mobilize."
