"The city is broken!" The Qing army in the city was defeated.

There are four gates in Yunxiao City, and outside the southeast Yingxi Gate is the Zhangjiang River, and there are Ming army sailors on the river, and the Qing army cannot cross the river at all. There are Ming troops outside the Tianshu Gate in the northeast and Huaiyin Gate in the northwest, and only the Xiegong Gate in the southwest is the safest. Yang Sheng and Cai Zhong planned to break through from Xiegongmen in the southwest.

"The warehouses in the city haven't burned down yet!" Xu Shichang suddenly remembered one thing, "Our grain, grass, cloth and silver can't be left to Haikou!" ”

Cai Zhong said: "The last general will send someone to burn the warehouse now!" ”

In fact, Cai Zhong's idea was that Xiegongmen might not be safe, because there must have been ambushes on the road to Guangdong in the southwest. He led people to burn down the warehouse, and then escaped from the city through the Tianshu Gate in the northeast. Although there are Ming troops outside, there don't seem to be many people, as long as they escape from the city and drill into the mountains, the Ming army will not be able to catch themselves. In addition, the warehouse is near the county office, which is a rich people's residential area, and Cai Zhong wants to take the opportunity to grab a handful before leaving.

"Then you hurry up! Ben will protect Lord Xu to break through! Yang Shengdao.

When Cai Zhong and his soldiers went far, Xu Shichang asked: "General Yang, aren't the thieves surrounding Sanqueyi?" Didn't we see yesterday in Chengtou that there might be an ambush on the official road leading to Guangdong? ”

Yang Sheng sneered: "Lord Xu, who said that we must go from the official road?" We rushed out of the Xiegong Gate and immediately turned to the northwest of the mountain! Then the thieves won't be able to catch up with us! ”

The group got on the horse, protected Xu Shichang and his family who were sitting in the carriage, and galloped away in the direction of Xiegong Gate.

The Xiegong Gate has been opened, the drawbridge outside has been lowered, and a large number of Qing soldiers and people have rushed out of the city crying and shouting.

Yang Sheng and his own soldiers in the back were blocked by the black pressure of the rout soldiers and Minzhuang, and they were unable to leave the city for a while.

"Kill me!" Yang Sheng ruthlessly gave orders to his own soldiers.

More than 30 pro-soldiers first retreated a distance, and then rode their horses to rush up, the horses collided, slashed, and trampled on the horses' hooves, and a flesh alley suddenly appeared in the dense crowd of routs.

But there were too many routs, and the soldiers rushed for a while, and were blocked from going again, and the horses could not advance, so the soldiers could only ride on their horses and slash at the routs on both sides.

Wang Xinyu, who was lying in ambush outside the city, took his eighty personal soldiers and hid in the woods not far away. Hearing the commotion at the city gate, Wang Xinyu pulled out his saber and pointed forward: "Kill!" ”

There is a moon in the sky, the war horse has a certain night vision, Wang Xinyu and his soldiers eat fish and shrimp all year round, and seafood contains a lot of vitamin A, which can make them see the target clearly at night. And the torches in the hands of the fleeing Qing soldiers also became the target of guidance for the Ming army.

Maybe Wang Xinyu's riding skills are not very good, much worse than the Manchurian Eight Banners that grew up on horseback, but it is enough to chase and kill the rout.

More than 80 horsemen rushed out and crashed into the crowd of defeated Qing soldiers, and more than 10 Qing soldiers flew away at once.

"Kill!" The sword flashed, and where the war horse passed, the heads of the Qing soldiers flew into the sky one after another.

The Qing troops who left the city were pursued by the cavalry, and they all spread their legs and ran faster, and no one turned back to stop these cavalry. Some Qing soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to retreat into the city, but they were pushed forward by the crowd rushing out inside, and they were unstable under their feet, and after being hit, they were trampled to death.

At the gates of the city, the drawbridge was crowded with people scrambling to escape from the city, many people were squeezed off the moat, crying and struggling in the water, but the people who were close at hand were only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and no one reached out to pull those who fell into the water.

Inside the city gate, Yang Sheng and Xu Shichang still couldn't get out, the city gate was completely blocked by the rebels, and Yang Sheng and his personal soldiers could only move slowly in the flow of people.

More and more people crowded over, and some of the soldiers were dragged off their horses, trampled on by countless feet, and trampled to death in the chaos.

The rout crowd surrounded Yang Sheng and his own soldiers, moving slowly through the streets of the city. Finally squeezed into the city, the speed of the flow of people suddenly moved much faster, and Yang Sheng poured out of the city gate with his own soldiers. Xu Shichang, a member of the imperial court, and his family's small carriage also followed out of the city.

"Over there! Tartar cavalry! Spotting the Qing cavalry and carriages out of the city, Luo Xiang shouted.

"Chase!" Wang Xinyu drew his knife and pointed in the direction of Yang Sheng.

In the city, Cai Zhong, who was about to burn down the warehouse, led the Qing army all the way down the street, taking advantage of the chaos to rob the people everywhere, and set fire to the houses and shops.

"Rob me! Burn me! Take away everything of value! If you can't take it away, it's all burned! Not a grain of grain can be left for the pirates! Cai Zhong shouted viciously.

The wolf-like Qing soldiers rushed into the homes of innocent people, snatched everything they could steal, and then dropped torches and set fire to people's houses.

In the county ya, the magistrate of the Qing court ordered the officials to burn the warehouse, and he himself was ready to commit suicide. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court punished the county prefect and other crimes of losing land very severely, and the crime of losing land was immediately decided; If you surrender, you will be connected to the nine clans. The magistrate of Yunxiao County, who lost the county seat of Yunxiao, can only get the court's pension by committing suicide, and his family will not be implicated.

Although he knew that it would not be long after, a catcher came back with a sad face to report the situation: "My lord, there are Haikou's accomplices guarding the warehouse!" The first monk is very strong in martial arts! Our former brothers were killed by them! ”

The magistrate sighed: "That's it! Flee for yourselves. After saying that, he turned his head and knelt down in the direction of the north, and then drew his sword and killed himself.

The Qing soldiers led by Cai Zhong were about to loot near the county office, but they were attacked here.

In the city, there were already anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations that occupied the warehouse. Just now they beat off the officials sent by the magistrate to burn the warehouse. At this time, the wolf-like Qing soldiers killed again.

"Kill!" The first man dressed as a monk danced a sixty-two pound mixed iron Zen staff, and led several monks and heroes to kill the Qing army.

This monk's name is Cai Jiuyi, and he was originally Hong Chengchou's general. After learning the news of Hong Chengchou, Cai Jiuyi became a monk in anger and became a monk. Later, the Qing court implemented the shaving order, and a large number of Han people, including Hong Xiguan, simply became fake monks or fake Taoist priests to passively resist the shaving order. So Hong Xiguan became Cai Jiuyi's most proud disciple. In fact, it is also a coincidence that Cai Jiuyi will be here, originally he set off from Foshan to visit the abbot in Putian South Shaolin, and also took a look at his proud disciple Hong Xiguan by the way. Who knew that after arriving in Yunxiao, because the Ming army came to attack, the Qing soldiers sealed the city gate, and Cai Jiuyi could not leave the city, so he could only stay in the city.

Cai Jiuyi was bent on opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, before the city was broken, he secretly found the local anti-Qing Ming restoration organization, and decided to secretly contact the Ming army to find an opportunity to attack the city gate at night and kill the Qing army to open the city gate. But he didn't expect the city to be broken so quickly, Cai Jiuyi, who was born in the army, thought that the Qing soldiers might burn down the warehouse, so he brought people to protect the warehouse.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, people in Fujian and Guangdong were still martial arts, and there were many people who practiced martial arts. Although the more than a dozen heroes are quite good in personal martial arts, they are not opponents at all in front of the fierce Green Battalion Qing soldiers.

The heroes were beaten back by the Qing soldiers, and although Cai Jiuyi, who was strong in martial arts, overturned many Qing soldiers, he was also injured in many places.

The Qing army surrounded them, slashed and stabbed them, and the remaining heroes fell one by one.

"Kill the Tartars!" Cai Jiuyi, who was covered in blood, waved his Zen staff, and where the peak passed, the surrounding Qing soldiers fell one after another. Looking around him, he was already lying in a pool of blood, and he was the only one left who was still fighting hard.

"This old bald donkey is very good at kung fu! Shoot him for me! Cai Zhong roared.

Groups of Qing soldiers spread their bows and arrows, and fired arrows in unison. Although Cai Jiuyi used a Zen staff to drop a lot of arrows in a row, she still pierced an arrow in her leg. It's about to be irresistible.

"Kill the Tartars!" Shouts of killing rang out behind the Qing army.

A row of feathered arrows shot from behind the Qing soldiers, and a large number of Qing soldiers fell screaming.

"Kill!" The Ming army sailors wearing wooden armor were killed, and although the officers and soldiers of the sailors were only wooden armor, their defensive performance was not bad, and they would not suffer too much loss in front of the Qing soldiers in armor. These officers and men of the naval division, who also relied on their personal bravery, also had the formation of a land battle after several days of training by Wang Xinyu. Their martial arts skills are high, their numbers are large, and with their formation and cooperation, the Qing soldiers were scattered by the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division at once.

Seeing that it was no longer possible to burn down the warehouse, Cai Zhong didn't dare to fight hard, and rushed out of the Tianshu Gate in the northeast with the pro-soldiers and soldiers who had just robbed a lot of people.

Outside the city gate, the Ming army found the Qing army that had killed the city, and immediately stepped forward to block it, killing most of the Qing soldiers, but Cai Zhong still ran away.

In the end, Cai Zhong only took five personal soldiers and fled into the mountains for several days, almost becoming a wild man, and finally fled to Pinghe, only to be rescued by the green who rushed in.

Besides, Yang Sheng took his own soldiers to protect Xu Shichang, and after he went out from Xiegong Gate in the southwest, he fled all the way, and he didn't even dare to turn back.

Wang Xinyu took eighty personal soldiers, recognized this big fish, and chased after him all the way, and from time to time the Qing soldiers who fell behind were killed.

In the end, Yang Sheng left Xu Shichang and his family, took his own soldiers, and fled into the mountains while it was dark.

Wang Xinyu took his own soldiers and chased after the fleeing horse convoy in front.

"Caught up!" Luo Xiang shouted.

More than 80 horsemen caught up with the convoy, and the Qing soldiers who were driving were killed, and one of the carriages overturned on the side of the road, and the large and small wooden boxes on the car overturned on the side of the road, making a sound of metal collision.

The horse team surrounded the horse convoy, and the Qing soldiers who were still alive knelt down and surrendered.

The largest and most comfortable carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the soldiers with torches stepped forward and pulled Xu Shichang, who was so frightened that he shrunk into a ball, out of the car.

"Lord Wang! The carriage that had just been overturned was loaded with gold and silver treasures! A soldier with a torch reported to Wang Xinyu.

Wang Xinyu followed his own soldiers and walked to the overturned carriage, only to see a box scattered on the side of the road with the lid wide open, and with the help of the firelight, you could see gold, silver and jewelry scattered all over the ground. He also pried open other unopened boxes, which were full of white silver and heavy gold.

Xu Shichang and his family were all kneeling on the ground, surrounded by soldiers with knives watching the captives.

Seeing Wang Xinyu coming over, Xu Shichang kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life!" As long as the general is willing to let go of the villain's family, those gold and silver treasures are yours of the general! ”

"Released you?" Wang Xinyu sneered, "Those gold and silver treasures are already mine, I will take them myself, and I want you to give them to me?" ”

"The general spares his life! The villain was originally a Beijing official, as long as the general released the villain, the villain could agree to any conditions! Xu Shichang begged bitterly.

Wang Xinyu took off Xu Shichang's official hat, grabbed his pigtails, and pulled him to the ground: "What if I want to cut off the braids on your head and then let you go back?" Prove that you have fallen into our hands, and that we have let you go! ”

"The general, this villain's family is all over the house!" Xu Shichang cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice, "If the court knows that I fell into your hands, and I am put back, and my braids are cut off, the court will destroy the villain!" ”

A personal soldier whispered in Wang Xinyu's ear: "General Wang, this person is a third-grade member of the Tartars, let's take it back and hand it over to the prince of Yanping, that's a great achievement!" ”

Xu Shichang seemed to hear it, and hurriedly said: "General, the villain has come to Fujian this time, and the imperial court has already made a decision, so that the villain will replace Xu Yongzhen as the next governor of Fujian, as long as the general releases the villain, if the general needs it in the future, the villain can give convenience to the general." ”

"Oh!" Wang Xinyu groaned lightly, "That general can think about it!" I just want you to sign a contract with me, and I can let you go back!" If you want to make a name for yourself behind your back, I'll give you the contract for it! ”

"What contract? It won't be too difficult for the villain, right? Xu Shichang said with a sad face.

Wang Xinyu laughed and said, "Don't worry! I won't let you betray your court! It's just a business dealing, and we're mutually beneficial! I earn money and I can give you a share! And after you sign this agreement, I won't take all of your gold and silver treasures, only half of them, and you can take the rest back! ”

"General, are you really going to release this big fish?" Luo Xiang asked.

Wang Xinyu nodded and said, "I have my own measure!" It's still useful for us to keep this person! ”
