When the violent explosion at the city gate came, Zheng Zhilong knew that the acropolis could not be defended, so he immediately made a decision and called Kamito Taro and his men to cover his escape. He did not return to the government office www.biquge.info this would only be a self-defeating snare after the city was broken, and the Qiongzhou battalion must have come to search for the government office as soon as possible - but made a detour through the government office and went straight to the west gate in the opposite direction to the breached east gate, and on the way, he called his men to order the city to be set on fire.

After receiving the order, the defenders who remained in the city hurriedly lit torches and threw them everywhere, and soon set fire to the government offices and warehouses in the city, and then burned a few more houses, and fled in a hurry. Because there was no intention of burning the city in advance, there was no accumulation of firewood and oil in the city, so the fire was not large. It's just that Zheng Zhilong has always treated the city as an old nest, and a large number of flammable products such as sugar, cloth, and silk have piled up in the warehouse, and a fire soon formed.

If Liu Quan, the head of the commercial bank, was present, he would definitely beat his chest, because after the capture of the city, everything here was the spoils of the Qiongzhou battalion, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a mountain of gold and silver, a mountain of grain, and a mountain of silk, and it would be a pity to burn it down like this.

Seeing that they were defeated, the defeated soldiers took advantage of the situation to rob women in the city and commit adultery. The city of Zhongzuo has just been broken, and the city is already in chaos, and the crying is shocking.

When Huang Hansheng led people to the government office, the expected street fighting did not happen, the Zheng army in the city had already collapsed, and those who remained in the city were stragglers who wanted to take the opportunity to burn and kill women to commit adultery. As soon as they saw that the thieves had entered the city, they hurriedly fled one by one, wrapped in the stolen softness.

Huang Hansheng didn't care about these people, and went straight to the city government office of the destination with a vigorous momentum. There was no sign of people in the streets, only the corpses of the people scattered and scattered. Fires and smoke were already burning in many parts of the city. Occasionally, a few ghostly figures flash through the streets and alleys. The 1st Battalion soon arrived at the government office.

The lobby of the central left office was empty, and all kinds of ceremonial instruments were scattered. Some of the houses are already on fire. Huang Hansheng ordered the soldiers to search everywhere, but found no trace of Zheng Zhilong.

At this time, Wei Lianheng led the second battalion to arrive, and after briefly inquiring about Huang Hansheng's search, he concluded that Zheng Zhilong had fled directly, and the direction must be Ximen.

"The south of the city faces the sea, and the north is close to the mountain, we are attacking from the east gate, and it is impossible for him to kill himself, so he can only escape to the west gate."

Huang Hansheng looked at the fire burning around him and hesitated slightly, "It is said that the gold, silver, raw silk, cane sugar and other valuable goods in the city are piled up, and the general definitely doesn't want this place to be burned clean......

Wei Lianheng understood what he meant, Zheng Zhilong wanted to kill, and it was best to keep the spoils of the city, and the Qiongzhou battalion needed these goods. He thought for a moment and suggested: "It's better for us to divide our troops into two ways, you go after Zheng Zhilong, and I'll stay to clean up the mess." ”

Huang Hansheng nodded: "That's very good." So he ordered all the men and horses to go to the west gate.

Wei Lianheng sent some soldiers to rush to all parts of the city to kill the defeated soldiers, and on the other hand, he ordered people to shout everywhere: "All the armor chiefs in the city should report to the government office immediately, and those who do not reach half an hour will slaughter the whole armor!" ”

Under the deterrence of the soldiers of the second battalion, the defeated soldiers who did evil were either killed or scattered, and order in the city was slowly restored. After hearing the threat of massacre, the commander who was hiding at home knew that there was no other choice, and they all gathered in the city office with a sad face.

Wei Lianheng said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, if you organize the fire extinguishing, I will guarantee your safety, and those who dare to violate the yang and yin or rob the property will be caught, and all the people will sit together, and there will be no mercy!" ”

The captains shuddered, and winced in agreement.

Although there were many fires in the city, the fires were not large, and after the people of each organization were put out, the fire was quickly controlled. The soldiers of the Qiongzhou battalion stood around the warehouse with guns, on the one hand to monitor whether the people were stealing property in the process of fighting the fire, and on the other hand, to guard against the rout attack of the army that slipped through the net.

It's just that the first two barns were burned bigger, and they were almost burned, and there was no rescue value. The sugar, raw silk, silk, and miscellaneous goods inside were all caught in the fire, and the sweet smell of the sugar when it was burned and the burnt smell of the raw silk were mixed together, which was disgusting, and the whole bag of porcelain also crackled and burst in the sea of fire.

"It's a pity." Wei Lianheng shook his head, thinking that Zheng Zhilong really had some heroic nature, seeing that he couldn't do anything, he didn't hold the city of Jinshan Yinhai like an old man and didn't let go, he didn't blink his eyes, he really got his hands on it.

After Huang Hansheng identified the direction of the pursuit, he led the first battalion to pursue with all his might without distraction, and soon after leaving the West Gate, he found traces of Zheng Zhilong, who was surrounded by the Japanese, on the roadside along the coast.

Although Huang Hansheng wasted some time in the government office, Zheng Zhilong had to shake off the rout soldiers who followed him from time to time in the process of escaping - these people not only did not have the courage to resist now, but would also become a burden to himself - and spent a lot of effort, but he was still caught up. Zheng Zhilong thought unwillingly, as long as he gave himself another half an hour, arrived at Gulangyu Island, and escaped by sea, the Qiongzhou camp would no longer be able to catch him.

Totaro knew that the opponent was powerful, and if the general who was powerless and dared to die acted as the "human pillar" of the palace army, it was easy for the enemy to catch up and take the head of the general. He immediately called a capable subordinate and ordered him to bring fifty soldiers to serve as the palace army, and the others escorted Zheng Zhilong to continue to move forward.

The credit for killing Zheng Zhilong is in front of him, Huang Hansheng's eyes exuded fanaticism, and he ordered while running: "All of them, give up shooting, put on the bayonet, Zheng Zhilong is not allowed to stop if he does not die!" "The enemy obviously fought with the idea of losing the pawn to protect the car, and stopping the reloading and shooting would give Zheng Zhilong time to escape, and he had to charge directly with a bayonet.

When the officers and men of the 1st Battalion heard this, they screamed and rushed forward with their bayonets. Fifty Japanese were overwhelmed by the crowd in the blink of an eye, and they were tied into hedgehogs, unable to stop even for a moment.

"This Qiongzhou battalion!" Zheng Zhilong looked back and saw this scene, inadvertently slowed down, and cursed secretly, he didn't expect that the Qiongzhou battalion was so powerful in naval warfare, sharp firearms, and even in close combat, it was so brave that it simply surpassed the Zheng family in all directions, how could he fight with this group of people?

Tong Taro came over to pick up Zheng Zhilong and ran: "General, run quickly, don't give up until the last moment!" ”

Zheng Zhilong grabbed his arm tightly: "If you can't escape this catastrophe, you don't have to worry about me, try to leave on your own, the thief's target is me, and you will have a chance to escape when the time comes." ”

Tong Taro was shocked: "General? ”

Zheng Zhilong said dejectedly: "Life is like a dewdrop, and there will be a day when it will dissipate...... I started in turmoil when I was young, but it was worth it to earn this career right away...... I don't have to worry about Fumatsu ......"

Tong Taro understood, and said: "The villain must swear to follow the young master to the death and protect him!" ”

The Japanese guards were only about 300 people, and how could they resist nearly a thousand soldiers of the first battalion, who were like wolves, and they were quickly caught up......
