When Tunqi retreated to Dengzhou, he remembered Laoshan. Although Li Rutai, the admiral of Qilu, led the troops personally, the partial army was the partial army. Li Rutai only had 8,000 people under him. He still had more guards but insufficient attacks against Jiang Zhe, and he didn't even dare to fight head-on. This would be more Zheng Zhilong...

Then he hurriedly sent someone to report the emergency to Li Rutai, but it was too late.

Zheng Zhilong's troops were divided into two groups, one of which landed from Aoshanwei north of Laoshan Bay. In the northwest, the light troops stepped forward to seize Jimo County and blocked the road for Li Rutai to retreat to Pingdu; the other route directly inserted into Jiaozhou Bay and landed on the west side of Yindao (now Hongdao), blocked the route for Li Rutai's army to retreat to Jiaozhou.

Li Shutai, who had been stationed outside Laoshan for some days, was trapped in the middle by two troops and immediately became a turtle in the jar.

What does it feel like to be like an ice cellar?

Li Lutai experienced the bone-bone cold and endless despair today.

A piece of information fell from his hand weakly. His right palm widened his fingers and grabbed his bare forehead hard, and he didn't know what to do.

"What should I do?" He asked himself frantically in his heart.

But there is never an answer.

Seeing that the Qing Dynasty was about to enter the harvest stage in Denglai, Zheng Zhilong suddenly stepped in. Moreover, Zheng Zhilong did not go to rescue the Ye County crisis, but came to Jiaozhou. What was his mind thinking?

Li Lutai wanted to pull Zheng Zhilong's neck and ask.

After receiving the news of the fall of Jimo County, he knew that something was wrong. Things had changed. He hurriedly led his army to retreat north. He even left some people as scapegoats because Jiang Zhe, who had been huddling, also attacked. He organized troops and thrust them over.

If Li Lutai wants to retreat cleanly, he not only has to give up a large amount of military supplies, but also has to leave a military force behind the palace.

Among his men, he selected a surrendered general named Guo Guangfu to lead the rear guard of the palace.

Then he led his main force to quickly run towards Jiaozhou, but before he could go far, news of the fall of Jiaozhou also came.

Now he faces enemies three times and is surrounded by water on one side, and he is really desperate.

The specific number of enemies in Jimo and enemies in Jiaozhou is not clear, but there are also thousands of enemies.

Li Lutai knew very well that he was no match for no other side and could not make it out.

He could not even defeat the two battalions of Zheng army in Jiang Zhe's hands, so he could only stick to it. Now that he has divided some of them, can he still beat thousands of Zheng army?

His only choice now is to find a place to hold on. Then he prays that the army in Ye County will come to rescue him before he is finished.

Suddenly, a very mixed noise came from his ears, and Li Lutai was suddenly furious.

Now that the crisis is so dangerous, the army is still in chaos. Will it be a mess in a while?

He lifted his sword, turned over the horse, and led a group of people to rush towards the noisy place.

But when he discovered that the noisy fuse was a group of defeated soldiers who were abandoned, Li Ruitai's anger disappeared instantly like the ice water topping.

The guard Hao Shangzhou pulled away the people around him and knelt down in front of Li Rutai's horse.

"How did you lose?" Li Shutai knew that Hao Shangzhou was Guo Guangfu's subordinate. Looking at the current scene, what else can I understand? But Guo Guangfu has at least two or three thousand people, how could he lose so quickly?

"The military gate forgives the crime. Guo Xiezhen (deputy general) surrendered the Zheng thief. The villain was unwilling to betray the court and fled back with his brothers, and was..............."

There is no need to say more about Hao Shangzhou, what else does Li Lutai not understand?

"Guo Guangfu, what a thief, I'm going to cut you into pieces..."

The one in Li Lutai's heart called hatred, and he wanted to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin. He hated Guo Guangfu so much that he hated him. However, he never thought that he was very good at doing things. Wasn't he just asking someone to die for the rear of Guo Guangfu? Then Guo Guangfu was a general who surrendered again, but now it is still difficult?

He is taking his anger on others.

It was to vent all the fear, troubles and fear that suddenly arise in the life and death crisis that is suddenly born in the present, all the fear, worries and fear that arise in my heart, towards Guo Guangfu. For a moment, my teeth were biting and creaking!

The generals under his tent were also lonely and silent at this time. Just like Li Lutai's heart, each of them also felt endless shock, anger, anxiety and fear in their hearts.

The road ahead is gone and the way out is cut off. How can one of my five or six thousand soldiers survive? The Zheng army surrounded three groups. If it is attacked, how can it be left to live?

"Go to Li Gezhuang (town)." Li Lutai, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and went to Li Gezhuang. Although there was no mountains there, there was water, a Dagu River and a Jiaolai Water (artificial canal), gathering in Li Gezhuang.

Even though the Jiaolai Water (Canal) was not dug for five years during the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and the construction started again during the Jiajing period of Zhu Ming and Ming, it was limited by technical conditions. The rivers that cost dozens of miles near the watershed had low navigation capacity and no water source guarantee, so they could not be navigated soon. But Jiaolai Water was ultimately a river channel.

After the army entered Li Gezhuang, it was facing water on three sides. Even if the Zheng army wanted to attack and kill, it would not be easy to deal with it.

And most importantly, Brother Li is close to you.

The generals retreated silently, and one or two had different opinions. Their faces changed a few times and finally sighed and gave up their plans to stand out.

Li Gezhuang is Li Gezhuang, and there is really no better choice around him. This generation is the plain - Jiaolai Plain, and the nearest mountain is Laoshan. Could it be that he really convinced Li Lutai and let him leave his five or six thousand soldiers to escape into the mountains without fighting in one battle?

What's more, Jiang Zhe is following his butt now, it's too late for them to turn around and run to Laoshan.

After a while, Li Rutai moved his body and turned his head to look at the map that he had just asked someone to hang, looking at the location of Li Gezhuang. In fact, he didn't have to look at the map at all. Everything on it had been engraved in Li Rutai's heart.

Li Gezhuang is a very famous place in Jiaozhou. Although it cannot be compared with Banqiao Town, which was once prosperous in history and Tabu Tou, it is also quite good as a town along the Dagu River.

There is at least a small wall of two feet high.

There were also three or four hundred households in the people. When the Qing army arrived, most of them failed to escape and were driven away by the Qing army to strengthen the walls.

However, even so, Li Shutai wanted to rely on this place and refused Zheng Jun from outside.

After all, Li Gezhuang is just a small town. Not to mention the food problem, he only said that the wall less than two feet high was reinforced. When Zheng Jun drove outside the village, he could not even compare to the city defense of the most ordinary small county town. So how could he be the opponent of Zheng Jun's cannon?

"Boom boom boom..."

On that day, the roar of cannons kept ringing.

Thirty or forty five-pound cannons continued to bombard, and hot flames spurted out from the iron-green muzzle. The rising white smoke soon enveloped the artillery position.

And as time goes by, the number of these cannons is increasing.

However, the Qing army had not even had a few cannons. On the way to escape, they had already discarded too many things.

The morale of the Qing army was already low, but the enemy was still large and we were few. Now we are almost at the point where we were beaten and not fight back, so the morale of the Qing army was even lower.

The shells fell on the walls and houses, and the land was broken and the walls of Li Gezhuang quickly transformed towards the ruins under the continuous bombardment of cannons.

When the sun is west, there are many walls around the surrounding walls collapse.

Then Zheng Zhilong did not order an attack, but asked the artillery to continue shooting in the town.

Don’t worry about Gu Xi hurting innocent people at this time. That’s the first priority to deal with the Qing soldiers.

Until dusk and sunset, Zheng Zhilong waved his hand. Immediately, the sound of murderous war drums pounded.

"Kill..." shouts came everywhere.

To the north, Guo Guangfu was eager to make contributions, yelled and carried a big knife himself and led his troops to charge.

On the Jiaolai River to the west, the shallow river water could not stop the Zheng army at all. On the Dagu River, where the river was quite wide and the river was quite deep, small flat boats were loading with teams of Zheng army soldiers and rushed straight towards Li Gezhuang Town.

"Kill!" Amid the roar of the sky, the Qing army, who was struck by cannons, was extremely weak to resist.

For example, in the fight in the north, when Guo Guangfu rushed up with hundreds of soldiers who dared to fight, Qing soldiers attacked the ground like ants, and collided with Guo Guangfu's troops who were rushing in front of the Zheng army.

They obviously had more people, but they were defeated by Guo Guangfu's troops.

The sound of killing shocked the sky, and the cannon that had been exerting its mighty power continued to shoot into the town.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he saw Guo Guangfu's progress. Will the Ming army have to surrender one or two before their combat effectiveness will increase sharply? Looking at Guo Guangfu's current army, he is so motivated and full of fighting spirit. He defeated the Tartars in the north in the blink of an eye. Even Zheng Zhilong could not have expected it...

"Kill--" Guo Guangfu was shot with an arrow, but he just missed the vital point, and only cut his flesh. However, he was not afraid at all. He still led the way into Li Gezhuang Town with injuries.

A brave stroke.

But it was because Guo Guangfu knew that all his struggles today would not be in vain. His efforts and injuries all had absolute value.

It can not only cleanse its own stigma, but also bring new prospects.

Even he wished that the arrow could penetrate deeper, so that he could leave a deeper impression on Zheng Zhilong, right?

According to Zheng Zhilong, Guo Guangfu abandoned his troops and surrendered without hurting the people in the camp. This is a great achievement. It is another great achievement to preserve the food, fodder and military funds in the camp. With just these two achievements, he was incorporated on the spot and no longer had to work and reform. But he is not a regular Zheng army now, but just a second-class garrison force.

If you want to upgrade from a second-class garrison to a real Zheng army, you still need to work hard.

Guo Guangfu knew that in the future, he would obey the orders under the former rival Jiang Zhe, the chief manager of Laoshan.

So, is it worth it to show his face under Jiang Zhe, or is it more cost-effective to show his face directly in front of Zheng Zhilong? These are all questions that can be judged without discernment.

Zheng Ping was holding a telescope to look at the situation in Li Gezhuang town, and his mouth was getting bigger and bigger. "How come Guo Guangfu is so brave, why doesn't he surrender in Beizhili?"

Li Zicheng came to surrender Li Zicheng, and the Tartars came to surrender. Zheng Ping was very disdainful of this person, but now it seems that Guo Guangfu is a hero.

Zheng Zhilong smiled and said nothing, and Zheng Sen's mouth also opened.
