Section 1234 Reversal of the battle

Located on the side of the White Goose Pond, Zhu Youlang happily listened to the reports from all over the flow price, the rebels were progressing smoothly, and his face was full of brilliance and he was proud!

"Our army has captured a third of the blocks and driven the enemy out!"

"Report! The enemy's Huanghuagang battalion was suppressed by our army, and they couldn't get out! ”

"Our army seized the treasury and found 1.9 million silver dollars!"

"Our army has captured Jidi Street and Gongyuan Road!"

"The Inspection Division has taken it!"

……

On the table in front of Zhu Youlang, a large map was unfolded, this is a map of the city!

The mechanics of the rebels are the same as those of the Ming army, and the use of maps is normal. ”

He pointed at the map and actively deployed his troops, looking like he was sure of victory.

Zhu Youlang excitedly said to the left and right: "Today's success, all the kings are indispensable, and they deserve a heavy reward!" ”

He doesn't know how many times he has mentioned this, and every time he gets a burst of flattery: "His Royal Highness King Gui is really like a god in using soldiers!" "His Royal Highness King Gui is expected to succeed!" …… Let him flutter, he really thinks that he is Zhuge Liang resurrected, and Sun Wu is alive!

He also cheered himself up: "Taking Guangzhou as a starting point, I will seize Liangguang, and then go to the north to Jingjing, clear the monarch's side, and restore my Zhu family's world!" ”

At this time, he was extremely proud and full of ambition!

The situation was quite favorable, most of the officials of Guangzhou City surrendered, the gentry enthusiastically greeted them, and they became the leading party, with their help, it was no longer a problem to take Guangzhou City!

……

The battle of Shangxiajiu was still the same, and the morale of the rebels was strong, because of the victory, they continued to compress the Ming army's defensive line, and the Ming army fought desperately.

One row has fallen, and soon another row will be topped. The two sides are no longer competing with any art of war or tactics, but they are fighting so simply. Just like two fighters trapped in a small space, there is no room for flickering and maneuvering, only left to stab each other desperately and fire guns, whoever has more blood and whose flesh is thicker will have the last laugh.

More and more rebels are joining, like sharks smelling blood.

Because of the profits--- they plundered every section of the street they seized, and immediately a great deal of goods came in.

They snatched all sorts of things, some were wearing new shirts with powder, which were new clothes from the southeast on the other side of the sea, without buttons, with a rope tied ---- their chests bulging up like cardboard, some wearing women's pajamas or shirts with corseted breasts, black hands and necks, which were strangely sticking out of them, many carrying large bags and bulging bags that they didn't know what they were, and some people wore their underwear backwards and put on six pairs of women's underwear......

This is the most developed area of commerce and trade, a gathering place of wealth, and of course the rebels will not be polite!

At the second-floor window of a small two-story building on the street, Chen Yashui was looking out through the window.

He is an ordinary businessman who runs a seafood shop.

His position could look out onto the street on the other side, and he saw the new soldiers rudely break through the door, and in a moment big bags of smiles came out.

An old woman rushed out, pestered them, was kicked away by them, and then they raised their guns!

A little distance away, I couldn't hear the gunshots, but when I saw the white smoke rising and the old woman was knocked to the ground, she struggled forward and dragged a bloody path on the ground!

The soldiers came out in disregard, and then several men and women rushed out of the house, helping the old woman to cry out for the sky and the earth.

Chen Yashui recognized that the old woman was Aunt Guo who sold rice rolls on this street, don't look at her business is inconspicuous, but in the upper and lower nine lots, she is making money every day, but she didn't expect that she would not die well and die!

He also saw that Aunt Guo's neighbors were being robbed by those soldiers from house to house, and there were even things that made him want to tear his eyes---- he saw a soldier crushing a struggling little girl to the ground...... Next to her parents lay in a pool of blood.

Thinking that their own goods are those abalone ginseng wings, and now the high-end goods at the Ming banquet, and the three daughters are all at home, once those soldiers rush in, there will be no scum left!

Chen Yashui had a feeling of breathlessness, and suddenly, he suddenly realized!

The soldiers who came first were there to defend them!

They are fighting here with blood, and they are standing by and watching, and if they are defeated, will they be left alone?

They were fighting, and I didn't go out, and when they were defeated, who else could help us?

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold it anymore, and when he looked back, he shouted, "Children, pick up the gun!" ”

He and his two sons were fully armed, and they both took out trolls, and then kept two short guns for his wife.

Xinming banned guns in the mainland, but as wealthy people, they had a way to get firearms.

Those firearms, beautifully shaped, sturdy and durable, were all imported from the southeast.

There are more gun shops than rice shops in the southeast, and a large number of them have also flowed into Xinming, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Fujian provinces.

The father and son opened the door and came out, and they also took out a bucket of boiling water and food, which surprised the Ming army who was fighting.

Chen Yashui said: "Gentlemen, thank you!" ”

He beckoned his sons to bring them up, and he stood in the middle of the street, and then he took out a flute, put it in his mouth, and blew it vigorously, three long and two short.

Then come three long and two short, and blow up constantly.

"Bang! Bang! "One by one, the doors of the shops were opened, and people poured into the streets, many wearing armour, many carrying firearms, or holding bright knives and forks, some with shields, and in one case, a six-pounder cannon!

They immediately joined the fray!

The sound of Chen Yashui's flute was a signal to summon the neighbors to come out and catch the thief, in fact, they couldn't hold it back for a long time, and someone came forward, the crowd was excited, and immediately responded.

A towel shop distributes towels to everyone and ties them to their hands to show the difference.

Fight!

Some of them joined the battle on the front line, picking up muskets and shooting, and many of them were very skilled in shooting, at least not much inferior to the regular army.

Moreover, their muskets are better and more accurate, and every shot is fired, there is a repercussion, and the screams on the opposite side are endless.

"Not bad!" The Ming army was amazed.

In recent years, guns have been banned among the people, but the "shooting clubs" in Guangzhou, which have been approved by the government, have opened one after another, where people of all genders can play with guns, called "burning guns".

The bosses of the upper and lower nine have hearts and money, so their marksmanship is generally good.

In addition, they loaded the soldiers, carried the wounded, and even many young women bandaged the wounded.

The people who owned the artillery opened fire themselves, and the fight was so good that the shells smashed the enemy.

There are more and more of them, and the army and the people are united as one, trying to see who can be the enemy in the world, and who can be the enemy!

The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the results were immediate, not only to defeat the attacking enemy, but also to kill the enemy back.

Zhu Youlang waited left and right, couldn't wait for the news that Shangxiajiu was seized, and heard the deafening sound of cannonballs.

A huge ship suddenly appeared in the White Goose Pond.

Then came the second and third giant ships, which slaughtered his fleet!
