Perhaps, at this moment, Sheng Dengke, Xu Long, Xu Guolong and others still had a reverence for Mazu in their hearts, fearing that killing in front of the Mazu Temple would offend this god who is known for his mercy. But more importantly Most of them were based on interests. After all, they were not Du Yonghe. They didn't know that Hong Xu's fleet, in addition to these fleeing people, also carried a lot of money from the Guangzhou treasury...

Xu Guolong's Red Flag Pirates were still monitoring Zhou Rui's fleet. In terms of numbers, the Qing army had turned from an overwhelming advantage to a serious disadvantage. The Red Flag Pirates, who had been weakened by Lin Cha and Chen Kai, did not dare to take it easy anymore. It's hard to beat Zhou Rui, a lunatic, but the damage to Zhou Rui's fleet was really serious. He also had to cover Hong Xu's merchant fleet and the people waiting for transit on Nansha Island, but he couldn't break through Xu Guolong's attack for a while. Blockade and pursue the fleets of Sheng Dengke and Xu Long.

The main force of the Qing army's fleet was moving upstream. On the other side of Guangzhou City, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The fires on the south wall of the old city were gradually beginning to be contained, especially those areas where tung oil had not been spilled. They were close to being extinguished. Benyue. And the southern city wall was soon exposed to the sight of the Qing army again.

"Siege the city!"

Following Gao Jinku's order, the angry Qing troops carried the ladders that had been prepared, rushed through the rising smoke and water vapor, and rushed towards the south wall of the old city with shouts.

The south city wall is guarded by the Guangzhou Zuowei, and the south gate in front of Gao Jinku is guarded by the hereditary high-ranking official Yu Fengqi. At this moment, those guarding here with him are all those who were with him back then. The Huihui Army moved to Guangzhou together with their ancestors. Their ancestors were stationed here to fight for the country, and they have multiplied for hundreds of years. In their generation, even if there is no Chen Kai, they will still choose to die here, and even more What's more, Chen Kai has now escorted their family members away from this place.

The attack and defense broke out in the most intense way the moment the ladder climbed to the top of the city. The defenders were all guardsmen and had little combat experience. However, with the complete defense equipment and their bravery, they were almost the same. When he saw the Qing army climbing up the ladder, he immediately lifted up the rolling wood and stone and smashed it down. As soon as he saw the figure of the Qing army, he drew his bow and shot arrows, as if he could not use up all his strength.

The sound of artillery fired from the top of the city was not aimed at the Qing troops climbing up to the city, but on the street under Shuangmen, where more Qing troops were gathering towards the city.

The black artillery shells drew a drooping arc from the top of the city and directly hit the bluestone of the street. The shells did not hit the Qing troops, but the flying gravel still injured many Qing troops around them. It's a pity that the frequency of such shelling was too low. Qing troops continued to pour in. Since the Ming troops on the city were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and serious lack of experience, it didn't take long for the battle to switch from the city wall to the city wall. above.

The shouts of killing on the south wall were loud. As the first climb attracted too much attention of the Ming army, it became easier and easier for the Qing army to climb the city. More Qing troops were still swarming up the city. Yu Fengqi Wielding the sword handed down from his ancestors that had drunk the blood of traitors, he vigorously slashed and killed every Qing army that appeared around him.

However, the difference in combat experience between these guard soldiers and the Qing army was too great, and more and more of their men fell on the city wall. When Yu Fengqi pierced the lower abdomen of a Qing army with his sword, he shouted He pushed him directly down the city wall, and when he turned around again, there were no other Ming soldiers on the section of the city wall he was responsible for.

A large group of Qing troops slowly surrounded him. He was the commander of a hereditary high-ranking official and a fellow governor. The Qing troops could tell at a glance that he was a high-ranking official. They had to capture and take him back alive, so that the credit would be even greater.

Yu Fengqi supported his body with his sword, breathing heavily, with a squelching sound, as if all the air in his lungs was being sucked out.

The battle was not long, but even though he had practiced martial arts for many years, he had never experienced such a desperate fight. In addition, he had spent a whole day and night thinking about it, and he had not slept for nearly twenty hours. Now, now

For this reason, he really has no strength.

Raising his head and looking into the distance, it seemed that most of Zhang Qixian and his Han army commanders were still fighting bloody battles with the Qing army, but some seemed to have fallen on the land they had guarded for hundreds of years. Look at the people around them

As the Qing army slowly surrounded them with their swords, Yu Fengqi shouted: "I have exhausted all my strength. I will die to repay my country's kindness!" Then he held the sword with both hands and used up the last bit of strength to rush towards him.

That Qing army officer.

"Kill the Tartars!"

The shouting stopped just as the spear entered his belly. Yu Fengqi tried to take another step forward, but was soon chopped down to the ground by more weapons, and soon died completely.

While Yu Fengqi died in the battle, the Qing army was also seizing every opportunity to clear out the last resistance of the Ming army on the south city wall. Originally, they planned to open the city gate step by step and let more Qing troops enter, but soon

They gave up this idea because Chen Kai had blocked the city gate tightly with all kinds of debris, and it was impossible to clean it up for a while.

Chen Kai's deployment directly caused the Qing army's offensive pace to be greatly slowed down. However, long before the heavy rain completely extinguished the fire, he was already facing a greater crisis.

"Now, I, Chen Kai, need a group of knowledgeable volunteers to accompany me to death!"

"Joining the army carries heavy responsibilities. You must not do this."

"I know the nature of water well in my humble position, and I am willing to replace it with my own body!"

Lin Dezhong and Cai Qiao stepped forward one after another. They knew very well how dangerous what Chen Kai was going to do would be. The shouts from the iron trumpets rang out, and the soldiers and people in a large area nearby all looked sideways and stared at the man in dumbfounded silence.

The civil servants who tried their best to organize their escape from this death place "went crazy" there.

A moment later, Lin Dezhong and Cai Qiao were already on their knees begging Chen Kai to take back his life. The former even hugged Chen Kai's thigh and allowed Chen Kai to kick and beat him, refusing to let him take the step to board the boat.

One step. But just after this moment, a large number of Ming troops and Guangzhou people in the surrounding area gathered over and joined the ranks to stop Chen Kai.

"Prefect Chen has done enough for us Guangzhou people. Brothers Wang from Chaozhou have also done enough for us Guangzhou people. Now it's our Guangzhou people's turn to work hard. Come on, folks, you know how to do it.

Follow me, Feng San, on board, and we will fight the Tatars!"

"Brother Feng is right. If a person wants to be saved, he must first try to save himself. It's time for us to fight the Tatars."

"My lord, the prefect, I don't know how to swim, but I still have to fight to the death against the Tatars!"

"..."

More and more voices sounded, and the people of Guangzhou City, old and young, gathered together, rolled up their sleeves, and rushed to board the small boats carrying gunpowder barrels. Among them, there was even a woman who was not willing to be left behind.

He jumped on a small boat ahead of several men.

"Women, please stop causing trouble. The men in Guangzhou are not dead yet. It's not your turn to be a bitch!"

As he spoke, a tall and thick man stretched out his hand to drag the woman out of the boat. Unexpectedly, the woman twisted her waist and gave way, pushing the man into the water.

The man splashed in the shallow water for a while, and even though he was yelling and scolding, the woman was not in a hurry. Instead, she picked up the bamboo pole and stretched it out to the man as if to save him, but she asked him if he dared to look down on the woman.

, causing everyone present to burst into laughter. This not only completely destroyed the tragic atmosphere, but even Chen Kai couldn't help but look over.

While laughing, Chen Kai took a closer look and saw that the woman didn't look bad, but her skin was dark, as if there was a layer of rust floating on the skin. She obviously lived on the water all day long. Especially the woman with a fierce temper, it was really

No eyebrows allowed.

Seeing that Chen Kai's attention had been diverted, the woman no longer ignored the man, bowed to Chen Kai, and then said: "I would like to inform you, Mr. Fu, that I am a widow. My husband and brother followed Zhang Hanlin in the rebellion, but were suppressed by the Imperial Army."

, died in the formation."

"The slave family is a womanly family, and they don't know how to read, but they also know that the hatred of killing a husband and a brother is irreconcilable. I originally heard that the boss of the prefect was still doing business with those righteous guys, and I was very unhappy. But these two

After watching it for a day, I realized that the prefect really came to rescue us and other people in Guangzhou. Now, the slave family has laid down their lives here. They also want to avenge their husband and brother, and also want to repay the prefect for saving their lives!
