These men in the clothes of ordinary farmers moved too fast. By the time Nunez reacted and shouted orders for the mercenaries to surrender on the spot, less than thirty Portuguese were still alive.

To tell the truth, even Zhang Jiayu himself was taken aback by the terrifying power of the Type 2 Hunter's salvo, and with two volleys from such a long distance, the enemy fell down like wheat harvesting, and then collapsed.

He turned his head and saw that the soldiers were neatly loaded with ammunition and wanted to continue shooting, and suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King had said that the ammunition of this gun was extremely expensive, and he hurriedly ordered to stop shooting.

He took out his binoculars again to observe the situation of the enemy troops on the side of the Pearl River, and decisively ordered the infantry to keep the line advancing rapidly.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Tong Yizhen's men and horses were running around without a head, when he saw a large group of neatly lined up "peasants" from a distance, forming a long snake formation and pressing towards them.

At the same time, at both ends of the long snake formation, there were several cannons that kept spewing flames. After six or seven shots, the cannons caught up with the infantry brigade and fired again.

During the advance of the infantry brigade, the artillery fire was almost uninterrupted, and the artillery always followed the infantry, so that the enemy had no chance to sneak attack.

On the two flanks of the Cantonese army, more than 100 cavalry paraded back and forth, driving the escaped soldiers back or taking prisoners on the spot.

The Ming army, which numbered less than 1,000 men, so firmly and methodically blocked Tong Yizhen's more than 2,000 men and horses on the edge of the Pearl River, and the entire battle process was concise and efficient, staging a textbook-standard war of annihilation.

Nunez, who was tied with his hands behind his back, watched from afar as the Long Wei Army captured the last Cantonese soldier, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If his hands can be free at this time, the first thing he has to do is to slap himself in the mouth a few times - it turns out that not all Orientals lack tactical literacy, and it was entirely because he sat in the well and watched the sky and did not encounter ruthless stubble.

The team in front of them is well-trained, strict in military discipline, and innovative in tactics, even in Europe, and it is definitely the top elite division. Coupled with their eerie weaponry, he naively thought he could easily defeat them......

It's naïve, it's just stupid! He closed his eyes in remorse, because of his ignorance and contempt for the enemy, nearly three hundred Portuguese mercenaries had been killed in that moment, and they had not even had a chance to shoot.

On the west bank of the Pearl River, Zhang Jiayu ordered the soldiers to gather the prisoners, and sent a signal to the other side, and the main force of the Longwei Army crossed the river safely.

The first thing Zhu Linmiao said when she saw him was, "What are the casualties?" ”

Zhang Jiayu saluted and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hui, the four people killed in the battle were all hussars who were responsible for raiding the enemy gunners, and they were wounded by the enemy's arrows. In addition, more than a dozen people were wounded, most of them cavalry, but the injuries were not serious. ”

"Send them to Taihe immediately to heal." Zhu Linmiao instructed, "The fallen soldiers should be buried first, and then they will be buried in the city after they take Guangzhou." ”

"Yes!"

Although the casualties were minimal, Zhu Linwei was still a little dissatisfied, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bring the heavy cavalry with this rapid attack, I'm afraid these casualties could have been avoided.

It seems that cotton armor should also be used as a standard for hussars, he said secretly in his heart.

"My lord, there is one more thing," Zhang Jiayu continued, "There are many Hongyi among the rebels this time, and the enemy's artillery is provided by them. ”

"Have you found out who these people are?" Although Zhu Linmiao guessed that they should be mercenaries, she still asked.

Zhang Jiayu was a little embarrassed and said: "This, because of the language barrier, I haven't known yet." ”

It was a fierce battle, and all the mercenaries who understood and knew Chinese were killed.

Zhu Linmiao turned to the herald and said, "Go and ask anyone who knows how to talk." ”

"Yes."

As he was talking, Chen Xiongfei came over happily and saluted Zhu Linmiao: "My lord, these Yi people are rich, and they have left us two twelve-pounder cannons and one four-pounder cannon, which are quite well-cast. ”

If it weren't for the gunpowder explosion just now, which destroyed a few cannons, I am afraid that this time the seizure would have been much more.

"That's not bad," Zhu Linmiao smiled and nodded, "The siege power of the nine-pound cannon is still a little smaller, and the twelve-pound one is just right."

"The whole army repaired it, and then dragged the cannon outside the city of Guangzhou."

"Yes!"

A few people talked about the siege of the city again, and suddenly heard the sound of a warbler crying behind them, "Your Highness, I heard that the little girl is looking for someone who understands the words of the Buddha?" ”

Zhu Linmiao hurriedly turned around, only to see Mu Zhiqing bowing to him surrounded by his own soldiers.

"Oh? Does Miss Mu know who can talk? ”

"Back to Your Highness, the little girl knows a little bit about it."

I didn't expect there to be such talents in the border areas of Yunnan? Zhu Linmiao was a little surprised, "Then trouble Miss Mu to ......."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that this was to interrogate prisoners of war, and it was a little inappropriate to let such a pretty and lovely girl go.

Mu Zhiqing saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and smiled: "Your Highness wants to ask those Hongyi soldiers?" ”

This girl is extremely smart, Zhu Linmiao had to nod, "Exactly." But ......"

"The little girl is willing to do something for His Highness."

Since she recommended herself, Zhu Linmiao couldn't refuse, so she whispered to Shi Lin: "Wait a minute, don't scare Miss Mu." ”

"Yes!"

……

Just after lunchtime, Zhu Linmiao was still looking at the map, thinking about how to go around the city and which way to go west if Guangzhou City could not be captured for a long time.

Then a hussar came on horseback, and shouted: "Report! Adult, Tong Yizhen abandoned the city and fled, and the prefect of Guangzhou led the officials to open the door to welcome the army into the city! ”

Zhu Linmiao didn't expect the huge Guangzhou to be taken down so quickly, but he was slightly stunned, then got up and got on his horse and beckoned to the soldiers beside him, "Let's go, let's go into the city!" ”

Halfway through, he met Zhang Jiayu and led a team to meet him and told him in detail about the "siege" in the morning.

It turned out that the seven six-pounder guns and two twelve-pounder guns of the Dragon Guard were mounted outside the city of Guangzhou, and only fired less than ten cannons—of which the twelve-pounder guns lacked suitable shells—and the soldiers defending the city ran away in fright.

It is no wonder that they are afraid, the matter of the 6,000 Dragon Guards cleaning up the 20,000 main forces of the Su Dynasty in an instant is now a lingering nightmare for all the Cantonese troops.

The defenders on the city of Guangzhou are about a number, and there are four or five thousand soldiers and horses outside the city, where can they deal with these seven or eight hundred people?

It is from a soldier to a prison army, that is to rush to run. Tong Yizhen wanted to restrain him, but when he saw the murderous intent surging in the deserter's eyes, he simply didn't stop it, and ran along.

So in less than three hours, the Guangzhou government was restored. Since the Hongguang Dynasty, Guangdong, which intended to be a feudal country, finally returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Outside the city, officials and gentry at all levels in Guangzhou stood respectfully on the side of the road, greeted more than ten miles, and bowed to His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King of the Ming Dynasty.
