The Ming army shouted, braved the big stones and wood thrown from the city and climbed desperately. In less than a quarter of an hour, a team of Ming troops rushed to the top of the city. The guarding the city was a battalion general in Zheng Zhilong's team, and a veteran who started with Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong gave him a position as the leader. When he saw that the Ming army had already climbed to the top of the city, he was very anxious. He lit up his dozens of guards and rushed into the battle group. With his courage, he actually suppressed the Ming army tightly in a small area on the top of the city.

The Ming army was blocked later and could not reach the city. The soldiers in front of them could not kill a way out. The weapons kept fighting, and they could not move forward and retreat for a while. Hou Feng commanded the muskets and cannons to hit the city desperately. A three-pound cannon hit the pillars of the city tower. Because the pillars were smooth, the shells actually rebounded after they hit. A guard threw the battalion and shouted: "Be careful!" The cannons shot at the crowd quickly, and the sound of broken bones and broken tendons sounded very cunning.

Zheng's soldiers were swept out of a bloody alley by artillery shells. In the flash of lightning, the Ming army attacking the city shouted, and took advantage of Zheng's time to break out a bloody road. The soldiers behind them began to climb the city continuously. When Hou Feng saw a turning point on the battlefield, he immediately ordered all the reserve teams around him to join the battle. Another four or five thousand soldiers shouted at him rushed up. The soldiers on the city were caught in a fierce battle. Some people broke their weapons and used their fists and teeth to hold the Ming soldiers and fell from the top of the city. Hou Feng was also shocked by the madness shown by Zheng's army, but the war had already begun, and they were about to fight.

The Zheng army soldiers were fighting less and less. In the critical moment, Zheng Zhihu led his troops to arrive and immediately entered the battle. Zheng Zhihu's naginata flew over and chopped the Ming army. When several Ming soldiers saw that he was extremely brave, they rushed to stab him. Zheng Zhihu roared and cut off the spear head. He slashed several heads with a backhand. The thousand soldiers behind him also joined the battle situation, and for a moment the battlefield was in a stalemate again. Arrows flew, cannons ran around, corpses piled up, and the soldiers were slashing each other wildly.

Zheng's army, which was already a small number of people, gradually became dissatisfied and forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step by step. The North City was about to be unable to defend. Zheng's soldiers, who were red-eyed, no longer cared about many. Several gunners threw away the knife in their hands, grabbed the torch and inserted it into the gunpowder barrel. Boom, the explosion was even more violent than during the day. The explosion caused by the gunpowder barrels even collapsed the city wall. The shock waves spread out everywhere, and there were no living people within dozens of steps. The Zheng army and Ming army, who were fighting together on the city were swept away. Even Zheng Zhihu was shocked by the huge impact force and rolled down the stairs.

Many Ming troops under the city were hit by bricks and stones falling from the city, and they all screamed and fell to the ground. The entire Quanzhou City shook violently like an earthquake. Even many soldiers in the East City fell down unsteadily. Everyone looked at the direction of the North City, and there was a dead silence on the battlefield.

Dangdang, the sound of gold sounded in the Ming army camp. Yuan Chonghuan ordered the withdrawal of troops. He saw the situation in front of the back formation. It seemed that Du Hongyu said it was true, and the Zheng thief did have the aura of sacrificing his life. Chen Yanling watched from the side and was even more arrogant and did not dare to do it. Although this battle was made of Jiangsu's troops, they were the Southern Zhili camp just like Anhui's troops. I don't know how many troops were broken in this round. Liu Yi shook his head gently in the rear. This way of siege was still too primitive. If it were his own troops to attack the city, he would definitely not use this method. He wanted the enemy to appreciate the power of asymmetric war.

Hou Feng could only command the troops to retreat when he heard the sound of gold. After this battle, the Ming army suffered not a great loss, about 2,000 people, causing at least the same damage to the Zheng army. Now the Zheng army has only two or three thousand war-capable soldiers in the city. If they attack again, they will definitely be taken. As soon as Hou Feng returned to the camp, he asked Yuan Chonghuan to fight, asking the supervisor to lead the troops to rush again, and he will definitely be able to take down Quanzhou City. However, Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and said, "General Hou, you have worked hard for this battle. The soldiers were tired of joining the battle just after the evening. After two sieges, the city wall has been broken again. I predict that Zheng thieves will withdraw in the second night and do not need to waste their lives in the siege battle. I will just send cavalry to chase them later. It is best to use cavalry to eliminate them in the field."

Hou Feng stopped arguing when he heard Yuan Chonghuan say this. Du Hongyu, who was standing aside, also asked for a fight. Yuan Chonghuan weighed the two people's contributions, and Du Hongyu also lost a lot of people during the day, and he should give some compensation. Yuan Chonghuan immediately ordered the mobilization of all the cavalry in Nanzhili, with a total of about 5,000 people, and immediately pursued when the enemy retreated. The task arranged for Du Hongyu was to lead all the cavalry under his command to seize Jinjiang City. He had received news of the sentry detective that Jinjiang City was empty, and Zheng Zhilong was preparing to place the battlefield near Xiamen, which was in line with his usual style, and the sea and land were cooperated with cooperation.

Yuan Chonghuan ordered Du Hongyu to set out now and encircle him. If Jinjiang is really empty, he will capture Jinjiang. If the information is wrong, the cavalry retreats quickly. Yuan Chonghuan has learned that there are only a thousand cavalry in the Zheng army, and even if they fight head-on, they are not opponents of Du Hongyu, let alone pursue them. So Yuan Chonghuan was relieved to ask Du Hongyu to lead the troops to steal the city, but he did not expect that Feng Chengshi would use the ultimate strategy.

The two generals took the order and turned around and arranged the troops to go. Yuan Chonghuan pointed out all the remaining troops and ordered the Jiangxi soldiers to divide 5,000 troops to guard Quanzhou. He also told his subordinates to use Quanzhou as the logistics base for the entire battle, and hoarded all the supplies in Quanzhou. The remaining troops continued to advance steadily, continuing the previous strategy and step by step.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhihu did not stop after the official army retreated, and immediately ordered the abandonment of all artillery supplies. The remaining troops immediately withdrew from Quanzhou. In order not to drag down the team, more than 300 seriously injured people voluntarily stayed in the city. Zheng Zhihu bid farewell with tears. As soon as the Yin hour arrived, Zheng Zhihu opened the west gate, and the remaining less than 4,000 people immediately ran out of the city lightly. There were already a sentry who was monitoring from afar, not taking away the Ximen movement and reporting to the camp to the Pegasus. Yuan Chonghuan immediately ordered the cavalry to start chasing.

Hou Feng led the team of five thousand horses to quickly get up. Du Hongyu had already set off first and rushed straight to Jinjiang City. At this time, Yang San's army was ambushed on the official road fifteen miles outside the west gate of Quanzhou, quietly waiting for the arrival of Zheng Zhihu's army. The sea in Quanzhou Bay was hazy, and more than a dozen giant ships were silently anchored on the sea. It was Zheng Zhilong's fleet sent by Zheng San and Zheng Zhihu's troops. They still used the most familiar tactics. Anyway, Quanzhou City was close to the seaside, and the official road to Jinjiang was exactly one section that was very close to the seaside. As long as their troops could retreat to the range of the warship, he would be sure to rescue the troops. The ocean ship crossed the hull, and the twelve cannons on the side string pointed directly in front of them. More than one hundred cannons were ready to fire hot projectiles at all times.

By absorbing the production experience of Western firearms, Zheng Zhilong's fleet is not only excellent in artillery, but also in a wide variety of shells, including ordinary solid bombs, as well as shotguns, grape singles, strand balls, flowering bullets, etc. In particular, the latest Folang delay flowering bullets are used to fire iron bullets that are hollowed-loaded with black gunpowder. There is a fuse on the projectile. Before firing, the fuse on the shell is pre-lit. When the shell lands on the ground, the fuse is exhausted, causing the shell explosion. Because the Folang machine has improved the pig iron casting technology, the shell shell can be broken into more small iron sheets, with greater lethality.

Zheng Zhihu's soldiers ran out of the city and heard a rumbling sound coming from behind. The earth seemed to be shaking, and there were vague shouts of killing. Zheng Zhihu ordered: "Start up, there will be soldiers and horses five miles ahead, run!" He stood on the horse, and dozens of personal soldiers behind him also held the head of the horse. A personal soldier stepped forward and persuaded: "Second leader, please go quickly, the five miles away from the war horse will arrive in a short time." Zheng Zhihu said silently and watched the team running silently. Many soldiers threw down their armor and weapons, and ran away one after another. The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.
