Under the ruins of the collapsed Dinghaimen Arrow Tower, a gray-headed and gray-faced figure emerged, and this person was the still gratifying military advisor Jin Guang.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Golden Light cried and clutched at the ruins.

The surrounding Qing soldiers also rushed over, moved away the bricks, moved the wooden beams, and after a while, the Qing soldiers pulled out a person wearing a Zheng Erpin official mansion from the ruins, covered in white ash.

This person was Li Qifeng, the governor of Liangguang, his head was smashed by falling bricks, his official hat was missing, his head and body were covered with blood, buried under the ruins, and the blood stains were glued to the mud and lime, and they all turned brown. Several Qing soldiers shook Li Qifeng, but this high-ranking Qing court official had already lost his breath.

The Qing soldiers quickly pulled out another person, who was still breathing, but one leg was broken. This man was the lieutenant general Chen Wu, and one of his legs was hit by a broken wooden beam, and the wood pierced into his calf, breaking a large hole, revealing the broken bones.

The ruins were picked up, and the chief soldier Xu Chenggong and the chief soldier Li Zhizhen were dug out from inside, both of whom had lost their breath, of which Xu Chenggong was killed by bricks and wooden beams, and Li Zhizhen was smashed in the chest by a city brick splashed by a cannonball, and the entire chest cavity was exploded, and the heart and lungs were smashed to pieces. Subsequently, Governor Lu Xingzu and Admiral Yang Yuming were also dug up, both of whom were very lucky, and only suffered a slight injury.

More than a dozen people were dug up one after another, some of whom had lost their lives, and some of whom were wailing in pain.

Before he could dig out Shang Kexi, Jin Guang's heart rose to his throat.

At this moment, someone excitedly shouted: "Found it!" I've found the prince! ”

The ruins of the city tower were opened, and there was a red-clothed cannon buried underneath, and one of Shang Kexi's legs was pressed under the cannon weighing more than 3,000 catties, but it was also this overturned cannon that saved Shang Kexi's life: the overturned cannon just formed an angle with the city bricks, and Shang Kexi's body was lying under the suspended cannon body, and the wooden frame of the cannon blocked the falling wooden beams and bricks, which did not kill Shang Kexi, but because Shang Kexi was lying facing up. Several broken bricks fell on his face, his entire face was covered in ash, and blood was flowing from the corner of his left eye.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Jin Guang and several of his own soldiers cried and surrounded him.

More than a dozen Qing soldiers struggled to remove the cannon and rescued Shang Kexi from below. But the old traitor's left leg was crushed and fractured, and he could no longer stand up, so he could only be carried down.

Zhang Yukun didn't know that he had killed so many big fish in this round of shelling! The governor of Liangguang, two commanders-in-chief, one adjutant, and two staff generals were killed, Shang Kexi was seriously wounded, the governor and the admiral were slightly wounded, and one general, two adjutants, and one staff general were wounded.

Four sixth-rank ships continued to flow downstream. Along the way, the Qing barracks were beaten to the point that tents were overturned, and wooden fences were smashed to pieces; The flesh and blood of the Qing soldiers on the city wall are flying; The lone Qing army boat was smashed to pieces.

The naval battles everywhere have come to an end, and the victorious Ming army is ready to retreat.

At the foot of Admiralty Mountain between Xinhui and Xiangshan, a small river flows through the foot of the mountain. At least 3,000 people waited anxiously for the ships that came to pick them up. In the valley, a large number of people are pressed by the black, dragging their families and bringing the old and supporting the young. These people have the families of the members of the Heaven and Earth Society who acted this time. There are also other ordinary people who have been persuaded to go to Qiongzhou.

More than 3,000 people had left last night and had come here in the early hours of the morning to wait. They had been waiting for hours, waiting for the ship to arrive.

On the official road in the direction of Xiangshan, seventeen Qing army scout cavalry appeared. Come in the direction of Admiralty Mountain.

"Here comes the Tartars!" Someone shouted.

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and the screams of women, the cries of children, and the lamentations of old people rang out in unison.

The Qing scout cavalry found a large crowd of civilians here. One of the soldiers pointed to the crowd and said, "These must be thieves!" Or maybe it's also the family of the thieves! Let's go and cut off their heads and get a reward! ”

All the Qing soldiers seemed to see piles of white flowers and silver, and immediately rode their horses and rushed over. They knew that the civilians, though numerous, were nothing more than a bunch of unarmed civilians. As long as the cavalry rushes quickly, they can scatter the people at once, and then slaughter them one by one.

Seventeen Qing scouts galloped in on horseback, galloping horses, and bright swords, gradually dilated in the pupils of the panicked people, making people feel the fear of death.

Just when the Qing soldiers were still more than 50 steps away from the crowd, arrows suddenly burst out in the grass on both sides, and feathered arrows flew like locusts at the Qing scouts, shooting the five Qing soldiers who rushed to the front into hedgehogs.

The Qing soldiers behind found that there was an ambush, but at this time, the speed of the war horse had increased, and it was too late to turn around. These Qing soldiers can only continue to ride their horses to kill the crowd, trying to rush into the crowd of people, and the opponent will throw a rat and dare not shoot arrows. But a stumbling rope was pulled up in front of them, and the two fastest horsemen were tripped and flipped on their backs, and fell off their horses.

More than a dozen halberd soldiers rushed out from both sides and stabbed at the Qing cavalry.

A scream was heard, and the scout cavalry fell off their horses.

Of the seventeen scout cavalry, only two escaped.

In the Xiangshan General Military Mansion, the two scouts who fled back reported to Zhang Guoxun in a panic: "Report to your lord!" There are a lot of thieves' families over there in Admiralty! But they had an ambush, and about a hundred archers and fifty pikemen, and seventeen of our brethren came back to us two. ”

"The family of the thieves?" Zhang Guoxun, who suffered a big loss from the water master, was anxious to make meritorious service and wanted to exchange his head for credit, so as not to be blamed by the above, so he ordered: "All the Xiangshan battalions attack!" Go and chop off the thief's head!" ”

More than 6,000 green battalion soldiers pulled out the camp and slaughtered in the direction of Jinzhong Mountain.

At the same time, the Qing army of the 2,000 green battalions in Xinhui City also dispatched and killed them in the direction of Jinzhong Mountain.

In fact, just now the Qing army generals in Xinhui City also sent scouts to reconnoitre, but the scouts from Xinhui were smarter, and they did not rush to make meritorious contributions, so they rushed forward recklessly, but hid in the distance to observe, and found that the scouts of the Xiangshan Green Camp suffered a big loss, so they ran back to report the news.

The two Qing troops attacked from the north and south respectively and pounced on Jinzhong Mountain.

In the grass on the side of the official road, several figures covered in turf and leaves came out, and they were scouts of the Qiongzhou Wild Wolf Battalion of the Ming Army. The attacking Qing army was discovered, and the Ming scouts immediately rushed back to report the news.

"Here comes the Tartars!" Gong Xiaoda and the others, who were hiding in Jinzhong Mountain, received the news from the scouts and were overjoyed. Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division and the special combat team had made meritorious contributions to the enemy, but their elite Lu Divisions were hiding in the woods and had nothing to do, Gong Xiaoda, Wu Zhudan and other Army Division generals had already held their breath.

When the Qing scouts came, the Ming army was hiding in the mountains and forests, so the scouts did not find that there was an elite Ming army hidden here.

The Ming army immediately organized and moved the common people to the woods on the hills, and the Ming army formed a formation on the official road at the foot of the mountain, preparing to meet the incoming Qing army.

The 5,000 elite land divisions include 200 ironclad soldiers, 1,000 pikemen, 400 halberd soldiers, 400 long-handled knife soldiers, 500 Miao knife soldiers, 1,000 bird guns, 500 flintlock musketeers, 600 archers, and 400 Shenji battalions. The Archer and Musketeer are close-range firepower that kills enemies within fifty paces.

The Qing troops who came from both sides were all here to collect heads, and did not carry heavy weapons such as cannons, only broadswords and spears, bird guns and bows and arrows, and there were not many cavalry, and the two sides added up to more than 100 horses. Originally, there were not many cavalry in the green battalion, and the Manchurians had very strict control over the war horses, and only generals, officers and scouts in the green battalion generally had war horses.

There were more than 1,200 cavalry of the Eight Banners in Guangzhou, but they were all cowered in the city of Guangzhou. At this time, even if the Eight Banners cavalry wanted to come to Xiangshan, it was impossible, and the crisscrossing river network in the Pearl River Delta limited the mobility of the Eight Banners.

The Qing army approached Jinzhong Mountain, and Zhang Guoxun found that there was a Ming army with clear banners and a neat lineup in front of him.

Jinzhong Mountain is not big, and the Ming army formed a large hollow square array, surrounding the hills behind, and the common people seemed to be hidden by the Ming army in the mountains and forests behind.

"Haikou are good at water warfare, but they can't do land warfare! Give it to me, brethren! Kill a pirate soldier and get a reward of ten taels of silver! Kill a Haikou family member and reward two taels of silver! Whoever kills the Haikou generals will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! Zhang Guoxun shouted.

"Kill!" The Qing army of the green battalion, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, shouted, brandished swords and guns, and rushed towards the hollow square array of the Ming army.

"Five hundred, ready!" The officer of the Shenji Battalion roared.

The six three-pounder guns, which had been loaded, were aimed at the Qing soldiers who were rushing up, and when they were still four hundred meters away, the muzzles of the guns erupted with dazzling fire.

The six cannons were fired one after another, and white smoke erupted from the muzzles, and the shells whistled and smashed into the crowd of Qing soldiers, plowing six alleys of flesh and blood, and the Qing army immediately fell into a large area.

The shells bounced on the ground, killing and wounding many Qing soldiers.

"The pirates have cannons!" The formation of the Qing army was a bit chaotic.

Zhang Guoxun pulled out his waist knife and pointed forward, shouting: "Don't retreat!" The Retreater, Slash! The pirates' cannons don't fire that fast! Rush me! ”

The Qing army rushed another hundred meters and entered a distance of three hundred meters.

The second round of firing of the three-pounder cannon began, and the muzzles of one cannon spewed out white smoke, and the six shells once again pulled out a bloody line in the crowd of Qing troops. Shells with pieces of flesh and bones bounced off the ground, knocking over many Qing soldiers.

The Qing army didn't expect the opponent's cannon to fire so quickly and again, and was stunned.

A Qing soldier turned to run, but was beheaded by a general who was standing behind him.

"Those who escape, this person is the end!" The Qing army shouted with the bloody head.

Another Qing army officer also shouted: "Haikou only has six cannons, don't be afraid!" Rush up and they're done! ”

The Qing army rushed into a distance of two hundred meters, and the six three-pounder guns once again fired. This time, not only did the three-pounder cannon, but the Ming army's twelve tiger squat cannons also spit out fire, and the cannonballs smashed down like hailstones. (To be continued......)
