Chapter 104 Breaking through the Seaside

"With my two thousand Jinyiwei here, why worry about not being able to break through the Jiannu siege?" Zhao Peng said with a smile.

"That's great. We can escape from the clutches of Jiannu and leave safely." Princess Kunxing pulled Zhao Peng's arm.

Zhao Peng took the princess into his arms and gently stroked her hair: "It's so good to have all the hardships! It's really not easy. It's really not easy for us to get to this point today! When we arrive in the south, Princess, look at how your prince and I are showing our strength! We will definitely let my Ming Dynasty King's Army pacify the Central Plains and restore the country!"

The rumbling cannons from the sea awakened the prince Zhu Cixuan. He hurried out despite his injuries before he recovered. As soon as he arrived at the high platform on the hill, he saw his sister and Zhao Peng snuggling intimately. Seeing this, Zhu Cixuan coughed gently.

When Zhao Peng heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Zhu Ciyang standing behind him. He quickly let go of the hand that was holding the princess' waist and smiled a little awkwardly: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"When I heard the sound of cannons coming from the sea, I ran to take a look." Zhu Cixuan replied.

Zhao Peng pointed to the sea in the distance: "Your Highness, look over there, the Zheng family army's navy is here, and we are fighting against the Jiannu Navy! The Jiannu Navy is not even enough to see in front of the Zheng family army's navy! It's simply vulnerable! Your Highness, we can leave this afternoon! With the Zheng family army's navy, we will be able to arrive in Nanjing in five or six days. When you arrive in Nanjing, you can ascend the throne as the emperor!"

Zhu Cilang cried with joy: "The sky has eyes! Since I fell into the hands of the rioters more than a month ago, I have been in a state of destruction. I was defeated by Jiannu, and I was trapped here again. I thought I could not escape from the sky. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to ascend the throne in Nanjing!"

"I will meet Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty! When Your Majesty ascends the throne in Nanjing, please give me a marriage to the eldest princess." Zhao Peng suddenly gave Zhu Cilang a big gift. To be honest, he couldn't wait to marry the princess. During this period, Zhao Peng and the princess were together day and night, but the most he could do was to hug the princess. Every time he wanted to go further, the princess jumped away like a frightened deer, making Zhao Peng's dirty hands unable to succeed. Once it was the closest distance, he hugged the princess tightly and wanted to stretch out his hand, but the princess struggled desperately and did not let him succeed at all.

Women in this era would not let men eat their own things before they got married, especially the noble princess identity, which was even more impossible. In his previous life, Zhao Peng was a big soldier, and he had never contacted women due to military discipline. Zhao Peng, who came to this era, was just a young man who had just turned 20 years old, and naturally had a strong spirit. He spent the past few days with Princess Kunxing day and night, and he was always holding on to the sky every day. He really couldn't stand it and wanted to get married early.

Zhu Cilang said: "General Zhao has made great contributions to the rescue of the emperor, so I will definitely be the leader of General Zhao. However, my parents of the same emperor sister died. According to etiquette, my emperor sister should be filial to three years. I hope the general will forgive me. The emperor sister will not get married within three years."

I almost forgot about this. It's better, three years, but the princess is mine, so I can't escape. Zhao Peng said in his heart. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the two girls Chen Yuanyuan and Wu Xiaomei, and didn't know where they were now. If they were there, Wu Xiaomei was a good woman and would not do anything bad, but Chen Yuanyuan could always solve the problem.

The war on the sea was coming to an end. The Qing army warships in the Longwu Camp on the sea sank and subsided. Even the ships that wanted to run away were unable to escape. The Qing army warships that were trying to escape were caught by the centipede clutch of the Zheng family army. They were either sunk or cut off the mast to surrender. After a while, only Zheng family warships with the sun and moon flags were left on the sea.

Zhao Peng turned around and ordered Gong Xiaoda: "Hurry, let me shake the flag and tell Zheng Sen to let them shell the Jiannu camp by the sea!"

After saying that, Zhao Peng turned around and gave an order to Wang Xin: "Get people immediately and prepare to break through! The new army killer team of Jinyi formed a mandarin duck formation in front, the firearm team followed, and all the new and infantry soldiers organized to keep up. By the way, remember to bring the raft we built ourselves. The Zheng family fleet may not be able to transport so many of us, and some of the brothers have to ride on the raft."

Gong Xiaoda and Wang Xin took the order to retreat, and the two began to act separately.

On Lianpeng Mountain, the Ming army first fired three cannons, which attracted Zheng Sen's attention.

Zheng Sen, on the flagship, picked up the thousand-mile mirror and looked at the hillside a mile away. He saw someone shaking flags of different colors on the hillside and sending a flag-tongued signal to his fleet.

"The Prince is on the mountain. Please order the fleet to approach the shore about 300 steps and fire at the Jiannu camp!" Zheng Sen gave the order.

The Zheng family's army's Dafu ships, Haicang ships and other gun ships came across, facing the shore sideways. Zheng Sen's flagship was also close to three hundred steps away from the shore. The huge hull came across, and the gun doors on the upper and lower levels of the gun decks were all opened, and the black holes aimed at the Qing army camp on the shore.

"Fire the cannon!" Zheng Sen gave an order.

More than 150 large and small warships of the Zheng family spit out flames from beginning to end, just like a lightning flashed across the sea. The lightning flashed and the roaring thunder sounded. The smoke of gunpowder filled the sea, and it looked like a storm was coming. Lightning flashed again and again in the smoke, bursting out thunder that shocked the world.

More than 150 warships of all sizes were fired at one time, and more than 800 cannons of various types fired.

More than 800 shells of different sizes roared into the Qing army camp. The wooden fence outside was crushed to pieces one after another, turning into countless pieces of wood flying. The Qing soldiers standing behind the wall were stalked and covered with pieces of wood, and fell down screaming. The shells that smashed the wooden fence continued to fly into the camp, hit the tent, and the tent was swept away. The stables were hit, and the mangers flew up from the ground, and the wooden pillars tied to the horses broke, and the war horses eating hay in the stables were suddenly in chaos and rushed out of the stables.

There were also artillery shells that crashed into the Qing soldiers who were eating. The people hit by the shells were smashed into pieces and turned into a bunch of blood mist. The artillery shells smashed the bodies of the Qing soldiers and fell to the ground and rolled and jumped, leaving crooked blood paths wherever they passed.

The shocking war horses also rushed out and trampled on them in the Qing army camp, knocking over countless Qing soldiers, ruthlessly trampling them under the horse's hooves and trampling them into meat paste.

The Mongolians who were good at controlling war horses rushed out of the tent and tried to stabilize the shocking group of war horses. The first group of Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers who rushed up were knocked over by war horses in a blink of an eye, and then they were trampled into a pile of rotten meat by countless horse hooves. When the Mongolian soldiers behind them finally jumped on the war horses, some people jumped on the war horses, and then some people kept jumping on the horses. The Mongolians used all their strength to control the war horses, but some people accidentally fell off the war horses and were trampled into meat paste in a blink of an eye.

After paying the price of dozens of people being trampled to death, the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers finally used their superb riding skills to stabilize the war horses, which did not cause any greater losses to the Qing army camp.

Just when the Qing army camp was in chaos by the sea, a shout of killing suddenly sounded on the hillside.

"Kill!" Zhao Peng and Gao Wencai personally led the two thousand new army of Jinyi, and came down from the mountain to kill, launching a fierce charge towards the Qing army's camp.

"Stop them quickly! Don't let them rush out!" Duoduo discovered the Ming army's intention and immediately organized people to intercept the Ming army.

"Breaking the gun!" Zhao Peng, who personally led the team to break through, shouted.
