Zheng Chenggong (August 27, 1624-June 23, 1662) was a famous general and national hero in the late 17th century. His name was Sen, also known as Mingyan, and his name was Damu. His childhood name was Fusong. Because Emperor Longwu gave him the surname Zhu of the Ming Dynasty, he gave him the name Chenggong. He was called "Lord of the Country" by the world. Because Emperor Yongli granted him the title of King Yanping, he was called "Zheng Yanping". Zheng Chenggong's father was Zheng Zhilong, a Nanming Navy general who was born in Anping Harbor, Nanan County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. His mother was born in Hirado Island, Hizen Kingdom, Japan (now Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan). He was born in his mother's hometown, Hirado. When he was six years old, he was taken to his hometown in Fujian by his father. When he grew up, he was sent to Jinling to study. In 1645, the Qing army invaded Jiangnan. Soon after, Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the Tianchuan family committed suicide in the chaotic army. Cheng Gong led his father's old troops to resist the Qing Dynasty on the southeast coast of the Chinese Dynasty. He became one of the main military forces in the late Nanming Dynasty. He surrounded the Qing Dynasty's Jiangning Mansion, but was eventually repelled by the Qing army. He could only rely on the naval advantage to defend the islands of Amoy and Jinmen. In 1661, he led his army across the Taiwan Strait. The following year, he defeated the garrison of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, starting the Ming Dynasty. Soon after, he died of illness. After Zheng Chenggong's death, the people of Taiwan set up temples to offer sacrifices.
Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui, Li Dingguo, and Zheng Jing attacked Zhangzhou City from four directions. They bombarded Zhangzhou City with the Red Barbarian Cannons. Shi Lang and Zeng De also mobilized 20,000 sailors and 500 warships from Jinmen and Xiamen to attack Chen Yuanguang's navy.
Chen Yuanguang's subordinates, Chen Kegeng, Wei Jing, and Sikong, led 2,000 navy troops and 30 warships to fight. The two sides engaged in an artillery battle on the sea. Chen Kegeng used the cannons on the Longhai Road to continuously bombard the navy led by Shi Lang and Zeng De.
Shi Lang's navy desperately counterattacked, but at this moment, Ceng De saw that the situation was not good and led the four hundred warships out of the battle. Although the Shi Lang Navy still had the advantage in terms of number of warships, their retreat had already been cut off by Wei Jing and the Sikong Clan. Shi Lang's navy was attacked from both sides, and most of the warships hung white flags to surrender. Shi Lang could only lead ten warships to break out of the encirclement. Wei Jing and Si Kong Shi ordered their cannons and fire arrows to fire at Shi Lang's warships. The warship Shi Lang was on turned left and right, barely breaking out of the encirclement.
Zhangzhou City was bombarded from all directions by Zheng Chenggong. The defenders on the city tried their best to resist, but they suffered heavy losses. In Zhangzhou City, Guan Yu and Chen Yuanguang were both injured, leaving only Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Chen Zheng. Chen Zheng told Liu Bei that Zheng Chenggong's martial arts were extraordinary, and that he was already in trouble. Li Dingguo and Zheng Hongkui were also on par with him. Moreover, Zheng Jing's teacher, Zheng Chenggong, was also not to be underestimated.
After two days of fierce fighting, neither side was able to win. Liu Bei's army was few in number, but he was not at a disadvantage by relying on the solid artillery bombardment of Zhangzhou City. However, Zhangzhou was an isolated city after all, and they could not supply food and ammunition. If they held on for a long time, it would be difficult to hold on.
Chen Zheng suggested that Liu Bei abandon the city and escape, break through the siege to Longhai City and join forces with Chen Kegeng and the other generals. Of course, Liu Bei knew that this was the best plan. Zhangzhou City would be lost if it was defended for a long time. Liu Bei was also thinking about breaking out of Zheng Jing's camp, but Zhangzhou was a place that was hard to get rid of.
Liu Bei decided to give up Zhangzhou City and break through Zheng Jing's encirclement at night. Liu Bei ordered the army to have dinner at three o'clock in the morning. After dinner, they attacked Zheng Jing. At three o'clock, Liu Bei led 20,000 elite soldiers to attack from the east gate. Zheng Jing was shocked when he saw Liu Bei suddenly charge out with 20,000 elite soldiers.
Zheng Jing immediately organized his army to resist, but he was defeated by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Zheng Jing was running for his life, but suddenly, numerous rockets were shot at Liu Bei's army. Many soldiers were shot by the sudden fire arrows, and in an instant, many soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
Then came the artillery fire, and more soldiers fell in rows. Zheng Chenggong leaped into the air and charged at Liu Bei. Zheng Chenggong used " Typhoon Strike " in midair, while Liu Bei pulled out his Twin Swords and used " Cross Light Slash " to defend.
They saw the Cross Light Slash cut the typhoon in half, and the typhoon lost control and rushed toward Zheng Chenggong's army. Zheng Chenggong's army was attacked by his own typhoon. Zheng Chenggong's soldiers were blown into the air along with their cannons.
Zhang Fei wanted to support Liu Bei but was stopped by Zheng Hongkui. Zhang Fei used " Explosive Rage " to attack Zheng Hongkui, and Zheng Hongkui also used " Typhoon Strike " to resist. The two sides fought to a draw. Zhang Fei rushed to Zheng Hongkui and engaged in close combat with him.
Zhang Fei used the Eight-foot Steel Spear to stab at Zheng Hongkui, but Zheng Hongkui was unwilling to give up and also used his steel podao to meet the attack. The two sides fought for 300 rounds without a winner. On the other side, Chen Zheng and Li Dingguo were also in a stalemate.
Zheng Jing led his army back to the camp but was stopped by Guan Yu and Chen Yuanguang. Zheng Jing didn't dare to underestimate them and used Typhoon Strike. Guan Yu and Chen Yuanguang were knocked down with just one blow before they recovered from their injuries. Guan Yu and Chen Yuanguang were captured, and Liu Bei had no choice but to order a retreat.
Liu Bei led the remaining 10,000 men to retreat from the battle. Chen Zheng and Zhang Fei also shook off their opponents and retreated. Zheng Chenggong gave the order not to pursue, and he understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy.
Zheng Chenggong entered Zhangzhou City. After Zheng Chenggong entered Zhangzhou City, he asked Xu Li to lead the army to wipe out Liu Bei. Xu Li considered the surrounding countries, so he ordered Zheng Chenggong not to attack. Liu Bei was actively preparing for war, but according to the intelligence, Zheng Chenggong did not show any signs of sending troops.
Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief. He knew that he was safe for now, but Guan Yu and Chen Yuanguang had been captured by Xu Li. Liu Bei understood his situation, so he could only ask Shi Chaoran for his next move.
Shi Chaoran had seen Liu Bei's defeat. Having read military books since childhood, Shi Chaoran knew that the lack of the Mou family in his army was the key to his defeat. Shi Chaoran thought about it for a night. He thought of his aunt Chen Moxin. When he was young, he saw that she had three wise generals. He now remembered that the three wise generals were Sun Wu, Zhuge Kongming, and Han Xin. Shi Chaoran immediately ordered people to prepare the carriage. Shi Chaoran hurriedly jumped into the car and drove to Chen Moxin's aunt's villa.
As soon as Shi Chaoran entered the villa, he ran to the second floor to look for the three " children of wisdom ". Chen Moxin didn't understand why her nephew was in such a hurry. Shi Chaoran came to the study on the second floor and saw Sun Wu and the other two. Chen Moxin had also arrived.
Shi Chaoran turned to Chen Moxin and said,"Can my aunt give me a 'Wisdom Young'?"”
Chen Moxin smiled and said,"Sure, but you have to get the consent of the 'Wisdom Youngster!'”
Shi Chaoran turned around and bowed,"Three seniors, who is willing to fight with me to end the troubled times? At the same time, it was also to save humanity.”
Zhuge Liang stood up and said,"What do you mean by saving mankind?"”
Shi Chaoran said,"You can be resurrected because my father used the 'Divine Summoning Technique'!"？He should have said that he hoped that you would fight for the survival of mankind again, because the alien apes had evolved very much. It was possible that one day, they would come and conquer Earth!”
Zhuge Liang said,"So you are the son of Shi Zhongcheng. Like father, like son!" Alright, I'll go with you!"
Zhuge Liang bowed to Sun Wu and Han Xin and said,"This little brother will make a move first. When the time comes, I will invite the two seniors to come out!”
Sun Wu and Han Xin said in unison,"Brother, take care. If you have any difficulties, come and find us!"”
"Then I'll take my leave!" Zhuge Liang said.
Sun Wu and Han Xin both said,"Farewell!"”
Zhuge Liang jumped onto Shi Chaoran's hand and followed Shi Chaoran out of the mountain.
Shi Chaoran bid farewell to his aunt happily and got into the car to rush away!
