On the wharf of Huangpu Village, the pro-army young soldiers in Jinyi who had already landed no longer threw Molotov cocktails, but began to form formation under the command of their respective leaders and deputy leaders.

Although the random shooting just now was all random shooting, but the wharf of Huangpu Village is relatively narrow, and there are more people landing, so the shooting blindly with their eyes closed also caused some casualties to these young soldiers—— There were not many dead people, and the airtightness of the general cannon filled with iron sand was poor, so the iron sand produced was not very powerful.It is difficult to beat people to death at a little distance, but it can still make people pockmarked.

Ling Zongjun was also hit by iron sand... Fortunately, he didn't hit his face, but half of his body was hit with a dozen iron sands, each grain was embedded in the flesh, and there was a lot of blood, even the collared cloth was stained It was red, and he screamed in pain.

But the young officer was ruthless enough, and he held back after yelling a few times.The shirt was all red, and he still refused to go down the line of fire. Two hands came down to help him, but he pushed them away.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Leave me alone, I won't die..."

While talking, he picked up a wine bottle from the basket beside him, then lit the cloth strip plugged in the mouth of the bottle with the torch in his hand, and then screamed at the head of the green battalion who appeared faintly in the smoke. Throw it over!

All I saw was this wine bottle with a flaming tail drawing an arc in the air, and then it smashed impartially on the "lightning rod helmet" worn by a green battalion officer, and shattered on the spot!

As soon as the bottle was shattered, fire oil added with gum arabic and sugar spilled out, not only the officer who was smashed was splashed all over, but also the two green battalion soldiers beside him were splashed with fire oil... This is sticky fire oil. ah!

Three people screamed at the same time, one of them was the worst with his head on fire, he might have gone crazy, screaming and running around in his own team, knocking down five or six people in a row, before finally falling headlong On the ground, out of breath.

The two people whose clothes were on fire rolled all over the ground trying to put out the fire on their bodies, but the fire was not extinguished much, but they made their team into a mess.

After the three burning men made such a fuss, the leaders and deputy leaders of the Jinyi pro-army who had already landed reacted, and they all took out "wine bottles" from the baskets behind the formation, lit them, and threw them at the Qing soldiers in the smoke. .There is no need to throw more, twenty or thirty kerosene bottles were thrown out, and dozens of green battalion soldiers were immediately ignited, and the pro-army side suddenly became chaotic.

Su Zhanshan, who had already arrived at the pier by boat, saw this scene, and immediately shouted: "Beat the drum! Charge..."

In addition to a hammer-throwing cannon, there was also a drum on the fast-whistle ship he was on, and the drummer was waiting for orders with the drum hammer.

Hearing Su Zhanshan's order, the drummer immediately beat with all his strength.As the drums of "dong dong dong" resounded through the pier, the six or seven hundred Jinyiwei hammer-throwing soldiers who had already landed and lined up shouted in unison: "Fight Guangzhou, destroy Shang's family, revenge...kill!"

Amidst the shouts of killing, the young soldiers of the Jinyi army who had already set up their gun formations shouted and launched a charge.

At this time, the bombardment of the hammer-throwing guns had stopped for a while, and the smoke that filled the pier had also dissipated a little.So Zeng Qizhao, who was standing on the roof of a dilapidated house in the back, could see the situation on the front line clearly, and his dark old face turned pale with fright!

The "old soldiers" on my side are all messed up. Dozens of fire men are jumping around in the team, while the opponent has formed a gun formation of ten to six to 70 people, and there are people behind the gun formation who keep coming back. Throwing fireballs... Is this a demon who can throw fireballs behind the gun array?Why is there still such a style of play?This is too disrespectful of martial arts!

Just when Zeng Qizhao was stunned, the ten hammer-throwing gun formations, with the support of the "demons", slammed into the chaotic opponents!

Chapter 151 This is called more help than righteousness, and little help from wrongdoing!

After all, fighting is not about fighting. Individual bravery is not worth mentioning in front of collective power, especially when the party with collective power also possesses magical skills such as "fireball" and "smoke"... This is simply cheating existence!

The activated "fireball technique" and "smoke technique" completely disrupted the veterans of the green camp of the Qing army who could fight in formation, so that they had neither the advantage in firepower nor the power to fight collectively.Facing the assault of the Jinyiwei teenagers who are several hundred fewer than themselves, but can form a charge, they will of course be defeated at the first touch.The formation, which was already very chaotic, was directly washed away, and the veterans of the Qing army who had been tortured to the point of collapse by the "fireball technique" and "smoke technique" completely lost their fighting spirit, and just fled to Huangpu Village crying.

In fact, the ability of these people to persevere until a hand-to-hand encounter before being defeated has fully demonstrated their quality.But if you can't fight, you can't fight. In the hand-to-hand confrontation of infantry using cold weapons, it cannot be said that there are no incidents of skirmishers counterattacking the army formation, but the probability of it happening is extremely low.If it wasn't for the fact that the force value and morale of the two sides were not too different, it would basically be impossible to happen.

And these young Jinyiwei under Zhu Hexi's command are mediocre in martial arts, but their morale is extremely high... They are not only fighting for the Zhu family and the Huaxia Taoist system, but also avenging their dead relatives!

Shang Kexi and his Banner Army and Green Battalion soldiers have been in Guangdong for 20 years, and they really killed people like hemp, perverting the law. Now these young men and young men who follow Zhu Heqi are almost all enemies of the Shang family.

The scene of hanging and beating the Qingyao Green Battalion soldiers had appeared in their dreams.

Now that dreams have come true, what reason is there not to fight?

So when the fog permeating the wharf of Huangpu Village completely dissipated, what appeared in front of people's eyes was the defeat of the Qing army and the victory of the Ming army!

The defeated Qing army can't stop the decline at all, and it can't rely on the houses in Huangpu Village to resist.Everyone fled to the west desperately, even the ruthless lieutenant Zeng Qizhao had no choice but to be "supported" by the personal soldiers to run west together.There is also a pier at the west end of the village, where ten warships belonging to the Hukou Navy Association are moored... This is their only way of survival, they must run quickly!

But can they escape?

Of course it is impossible!

Because they soon fell into the ocean of enemy wars—there were too many enemies, and most of the residents on this Huangzhou Island were also their enemies!

……

"Defeated, defeated, defeated... The Qing army was defeated!"

"Third Prince's soldiers have rushed into Huangpu Village!"

"The third prince is going to win!"

"The momentum is like a broken bamboo, that's great!"

"Kill, kill all these Qing soldiers!"

"Hurry up, set off firecrackers, beat gongs and drums..."

At this time, it was not Zhu Hechi and his men who cheered the most about the defeat of the Qing army and the victory of the Ming army in Huangpu Village... but the crowd watching on the south bank of the Pearl River!

The sound of cheers, firecrackers, gongs and drums all rose up at once, and the lion dance was short of it.

The Cantonese in the Qing Dynasty still seemed to like to watch the excitement, especially the scenes of the Qing army being beaten.In history, when the English called to Guangzhou, there were many onlookers who watched the excitement and enjoyed it. What's more, the Ming army from the family of the third prince Zhu who has been localized in Guangdong is now calling.

Although there are some northerners who "float" in Guangdong in this Ming army, most of them are "second-generation drifters" who can speak Cantonese, Teochew, and Hakka.Moreover, the total number of these "Guangpiao" is not many, and the main force before it was Chaozhou people who resisted relocation.Recently, a large number of Cantonese people have been recruited in Xiangshan, Shunde and other places.Almost became the soldiers of the Guangdong people!

Moreover, the performance of this army when it went all the way north from Macau was indeed like a soldier from Guangdong. Not only did it not commit any crimes, but it also mobilized the masses along the way... It also showed the power of sugar and medicine, and it gave out pictures that looked very sweet. Draw cake.

When they finally arrived near the city of Guangzhou, of course they didn't forget to send people to mobilize the big surnames in the townships on the south bank of the Pearl River to join the gang.But this time there is no need to blow up the century-old wall, just drag people to the south bank of the Pearl River to see the Qing army being beaten.

The terrain around Guangzhou Fucheng is so good, especially suitable for watching wars!

The water surface of the Pearl River is very wide, and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat.Everyone squeezed on the embankment on the south bank of the Pearl River, and you could see the fighting on several key islands in the Pearl River.Moreover, it is blocked by the water surface, and it is not easy to be affected by the flames of war, so you can watch the battle with peace of mind.

So when the battle in Huangpu Village started, the embankment on the south bank of the Pearl River was already full of onlookers from nearby villages... These were not people who didn't know the truth, but the people who died in the Guangzhou massacre 22 years ago Dear friends and relatives!

And what they lost in this war was not only their relatives, but also the land they depended on for survival!

Guangzhou is the ruling center of Shang Kexi. Of course, Shang Kexi has to occupy a large amount of land in the outer circle of Guangzhou and distribute it to his subordinates. Moreover, he is very fertile, with more than a hundred children and thousands of grandchildren. It is impossible for these people to work and farm They don’t know how to do business, and they all have to ride on the necks of the people of Guangzhou to be big landlords!

So in the past few years, Shang Kexin has been robbing the land outside the city of Guangzhou, regardless of whether it is owned or not, and it will be encircled first.It turns out that if the owner is sensible, he can still be a tenant, but if he is not, he is the gangster of the pirates or the party of the third prince Zhu!

Following this trend, when Shang Kexi's great-grandchildren come out, the circle outside Guangzhou will probably be his family's tenants.

The so-called seizing property is like killing one's parents!

It's still gratifying to kill the parents first, and then seize the property. It's really a bad thing to do!

Now that Shang Kexi, who did all kinds of bad things, is finally about to be defeated, how could the people of Guangzhou be unhappy?

So Shang Zhixin, who was anxiously fighting outside the Dragon King Temple in Huangpu City on the north bank of the Pearl River, suddenly heard some strange sounds... It seemed to come from the other side of the Pearl River.

He quickly turned the binoculars and followed the strange sound to look over it. When he saw it, he almost exploded with anger.

It turned out that the embankment on the other side of the Pearl River was already crowded with people at this time, and they were all dressed up as villagers near Guangzhou City.

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are failing, and they are still watching the excitement, and they are so happy, and... Some people are beating gongs and drums, some are setting off firecrackers to celebrate, and some are waving big knives that they don’t know where they got, Red-tasseled guns and shotguns!

Does it look like you want to help the third grandson of Zhu fight?

You are also Cantonese, why are you Guangzhou people so much worse than other Xinhui people?

When Shang Zhixin was almost angry at the behavior of the people outside Guangzhou, Zeng Qizhao, the murderous second ruthless man in Guangdong under him, was no longer angry, but scared!

Because when Zeng Qi's defeated soldiers under Showa fled into Huangpu Village and wanted to cross the village to escape to the West Wharf, the village suddenly remembered the sound of crackling guns... Maybe it was the sound of firecrackers, or maybe it was real shooting !

In addition, there were bursts of shouts: "Kill Qinggou, kill Zeng!"

The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing did not come from behind Zeng Qizhao, but from the front and left and right of him, and it became louder and more urgent...Could it be that the rebels of the third grandson of Zhu have already outflanked him? The west side of the island, blocking his retreat?

How can this be good?

He was running along the narrow roads in Huangpu Village with a group of soldiers at the moment. It would not take long to pass through the village, but when he heard shouts and gunshots from the front and left and right, he immediately panicked.He didn't dare to run west with his head covered anymore, but found a large deserted house, let his own soldiers break open the vacant door, and then went in by himself, wanting to hide in it for a while before talking. .

But who knew that he had only entered the house with his front foot, and someone shouted outside the house with his back foot: "The devil Zeng is here, and the devil Zeng is in the old house of the Wang family... the heavenly soldiers come and catch him!"

Only then did Zeng Qizhao know that it was not good, and just about to cheer up and fight out, he heard a shout from outside with a Chaozhou accent: "The Qing monsters inside have heard this and come out and surrender, otherwise I will set the sky on fire and burn you to death!"

Chapter 152 The fire is too hot and the water is too cold!

The sky is burning!

How hot it is!

The dozen or so soldiers protecting Zeng Qizhao were still looking fierce just now, as if they were going to fight, but now they all hesitated, and all looked at their master.

Of course Zeng Qizhao is also afraid of Tianhuo, but it is impossible for him to surrender... Can the second most ruthless man in Guangdong surrender?How many people did he kill when he broke Guangzhou and Wencun?Many of them are probably the dear relatives and friends of the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu!

Zeng Erruo wants to fall into their hands, why not skin Lingchi?Compared with this piecemeal method of death, the sky fire is not so terrible!

At this moment, the people outside the yard seemed to realize that Zeng Qizhao was hiding in this yard, so they shouted loudly: "The Qing Yao in there listened, we only kill Zeng Yaotou and hand over Zeng Yaotou, and the rest They can all live...or else they will all be burned to death with sky fire!"

Now Zeng Qizhao's soldiers were even more shaken. The Cantonese outside only wanted to kill Zeng Yaotou... and Zeng Yaotou was a good servant of the Qing emperor.

Zeng Qizhao knew that there was more danger than good, but he was not willing to sit and wait for the fire, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and shouted: "Damn it, why are men afraid of fire from heaven? Follow me, let's fight together!" "

All the soldiers under him had been kind to him, and they were used to obeying him as a ruthless man, so they immediately picked up guys one after another, as if they were about to follow desperately, but no one wanted to be the first.

Well, the ruthless man Zhao has already said, follow him to fight out, naturally he is the first to charge!

And whether this Zeng Qizhao was the slave generation of the Qing Dynasty, or a ruthless person in the slave generation, he was still full of ruthlessness, seeing that the people under him were scared, he rushed out with a big knife in his heart.But when I got outside the gate, I realized something was wrong!

At this time, there were already Ming soldiers and villagers holding sharp-edged muskets standing outside the door, all of them were gnashing their teeth.One of them was a young soldier wearing a cross-collared cloth robe stained red with blood and a Portuguese ship helmet. He looked very fierce, and he was aiming at Zeng Qizhao with a musket without a matchlock in his hand.

Moreover, Zeng Qizhao also discovered that outside the gate of the courtyard, he was the only Heavenly Soldier of the Qing Dynasty... His personal soldiers were still hiding in the courtyard and did not come out!

The second most ruthless man in Guangdong was about to summon his subordinates to come out and fight for his life, when he heard a "bang", and the gate of the courtyard behind him was already closed.

"He is Zeng Yaotou!"

"He is Zeng Yaotou, the deputy general at the gate of Qingluhu..."

"Master Tianbing, hurry up and catch Zeng Yaotou!"

Just when Zeng Qizhao was still thinking about whether to climb over the wall and go back to the yard, the people of the Qing Dynasty in Huangpu Village were already identifying him-Huangpu Village was originally an international trade village, and the residents in the village were either doing business or driving. ship's.And Zeng Qizhao, the vice-admiral of the Navy, didn't trust his sailing skills before, so he rented a boat from Huangpu Village when traveling between Guangzhou and Humen.So many people in Huangpu Village know him!

Zeng Qizhao, who has already been recognized by others, knows that he is not going to get better. He is the second most ruthless person in Guangdong on the Qing side!In Guangdong, there are definitely enemies everywhere, at least millions of them!If someone wants to arrest him, he must not be skinned!

So the surname Zeng wanted to find someone to kill him, but how could a knife in his hand be as fast as a musket?In particular, a few Jinyi soldiers were holding English flintlock guns handed over from the Great Eastern, and they didn't need to light the match. They aimed at Zeng Yaotou's knees and shot randomly, and they shot Zeng Yaotou on the spot. The kneecap was shattered.

The reason why the knee was hit was because of the care of Ling Zongjun, who led the troops to arrest Zeng Qizhao, and he had to be caught alive!

Ling Chi has to be caught alive!

Seeing Zeng Yaotou being knocked to the ground, Ling Zongjun, who was already so excited that he was about to sing, roared, "Catch the alive...don't kill him, you'll have to cut him to pieces!"

"understood!"

"Caught alive..."

"Thousands of knives!"

A group of gritted Jinyi soldiers and villagers surrounded him while agreeing.It's true that I didn't stab him with a sharp blade, but I still hit him head and face with wooden sticks, brooms, and dung forks... First beat him with a severed limb, and then capture him alive!

……

Shang Zhixin, who was standing in front of the Dragon King Temple on the north bank of the Pearl River, couldn't see the scene where Zeng Yaotou was beaten to pieces and captured alive, but he could still see clearly how Zeng Qizhao's more than a thousand elite soldiers from the green battalion came here. The whole army was annihilated under the joint attack of Zhu Santai's grandson Jinyi's pro-army and Huangpu Village's unruly people.

Although Zhu Sanming's army seems to have mastered the magic technique and can use "smoke technique" and "fireball technique", but if there is no rebellion by the unruly people in Huangpu Village, helping the Ming army to fight together, with Zeng Qizhao's ability, he can still use the skills of Huangpu Village The terrain was fighting and retreating... But once the troublemakers in Huangpu Village rebelled, Zeng Qizhao would be dead!

This Huangpu village is a big village, and it is also a "water thief village". Most of the villagers drive boats for transportation, so every household has muskets and swords, and the strong men in the village can copy guys for practice.

In addition, this village has become rich due to maritime trade since the Southern Song Dynasty, so every household has built very strong houses, and many houses have built watchtowers for shooting guns...you can shoot down guns to block the roads in the village.

Therefore, the unruly people in Huangpu Village rebelled, and Zeng Qizhao, the second most ruthless in Guangdong, had only a dead end.

After capturing Zeng Qizhao alive, the unscrupulous people of Huangpu Village and the Jinyi soldiers who landed rushed to the west pier of Huangpu Village together.

The west wharf of Huangpu Village faces Haizhu Island, and it was originally a cargo wharf. In the past, the goods shipped from Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Hunan along the Pearl River system were generally unloaded at the west wharf, while the imported goods that came in from overseas were in Huangpu. Unloading at the pier east of the village.And Zeng Qizhao, who came from Guangzhou City, left all the naval ships on the west pier, and only a few soldiers were left to guard the ships.He also ordered that these ships not be allowed to leave the dock until he himself boarded the ship.

As a result, when the soldiers on board found out that Zeng Qizhao had been beaten to pieces and captured alive, it was already too late, and it was too late to pull the anchor and set sail. Take all the ten wooden boats.The soldiers and sailors of the Qing army on board were either killed and captured, or forced to dive into the water to escape... But this is the Pearl River!The south of the Yangtze River is wide and cold. How could it be possible to swim from Huangpu Village to the north bank of the Pearl River without the water quality against the sky?

Shang Zhixin, who was standing outside the Dragon King Temple on the north bank of the Pearl River, saw this scene, his heart almost turned cold, as if it was not others who fell into the water, but himself!

"It's wrong, it's wrong, it's all wrong..." Shang Zhixin's voice was trembling.

Just the loss of a Huangpu village is enough to kill, and now even the second ruthless man in Guangdong, Zeng Qizhao, took it in together, and the more than a thousand green battalion elite soldiers and ten large ships that followed Zeng Qizhao to Huangpu Island are gone.

This is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that the people in Huangpu Village and the south bank of the Pearl River are rebellious, and they all voted under the banner of Zhu San Taisun... The Cantonese outside Guangzhou are unreliable, but the Cantonese in Guangzhou can be trusted?

When Shang Zhixin was embarrassing the more than 20 residents in the outer city of Guangzhou, his fourth brother, Shang Zhijie, who was the deputy commander of the Pingnan Wangfu Banner Army, suddenly yelled: "It's not good... Haizhu Island is in danger. The rebels are driving the boat on the west pier of Huangpu Village to Haizhu Island!"

Haizhu Island is located in the water of the Pearl River in the south of Guangzhou. There is a large temple on the island named Cidu Temple. After taking Guangzhou, Shang Kexi set up cannons on the wall of Cidu Temple and turned it into a water fortress defending Guangzhou City. .

But now there are not many defenders in this fortress, only dozens of elderly gunners and less than a hundred old man's infantry.

According to Shang Zhixin's original plan, Zeng Qizhao's troops would retreat to Haizhu Island to defend after finishing fighting Huangpu Village.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Qizhao, the second most ruthless person in Guangdong, would be gone after one beating. Who should guard Haizhu Island now?

Shang Zhixin looked back at his brother Shang Zhijie, as if he wanted to assign him the task of guarding Haizhu Island.But before Shang Zhixin could speak, Shang Zhijie shook his head first: "Brother, I don't want to go to Haizhu Island...the water in the Pearl River is too cold, I'm not in good health, I'm afraid of the cold! Cough, cough, cough..."

Chapter 153 I'm going to die and die together!

Shang Zhixin took a look at Shang Zhijie, who was born tall and tall, and who had already given birth to nine sons at a young age, and was really speechless.This guy's body is not good, he's afraid of the cold, and he's coughing...how shameless?Like father, like son!
