Chapter 21 Beating the Snake Seven Cun (Part 2)

On the Lingding Ocean, the water battle continued. The Ming army had noticed the presence of police in Hong Kong, and their first reaction was to give up the fight and return for reinforcements.

This is the most normal reaction and the most correct reaction, because Hong Kong Island is the support point of the Ming army in the Pearl River Estuary. The docks, warehouses, personnel, property and even credit are all there. The navy is stationed here.

It is a cruise, and at the same time it has the purpose of guarding islands and fending off enemies at sea.

The deputy general issued the order, and the ships of the Ming army responded one after another. Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned around, the navy of the Qing army pounced on them again. They were caught off guard. Even though the gap between the warships of the two sides was huge, they managed to find some advantages.

.

"Damn Tatars!"

At this time, the deputy general still didn't understand that this was a trick of the Qing army. However, the Qing fleet was stalking them, and it was not easy for them to escape.

Fighting has become the mainstream, and the deputy general cannot escape, so he simply continues to lead the fleet to compete with the Qing army. At this moment, the only thing that can be counted on is Jiang Mei'ao's fleet, and the other is that the defenders on Hong Kong Island can

There is no other way to hold on for a little longer.

Going back against the path of the burning smoke, the defenders on Hong Kong Island had already discovered the movements of the Qing army and immediately reported the emergency to the military camp.

The military camp was right next to the town. The officer on the dock sent someone to rush back. The messenger ran like crazy and ran back to the military camp. Unexpectedly, the guard was not on duty in the camp.

"Eighty percent of the defense is in the town."

Mr. Qian, who was sitting in the camp, blurted out, and there was also a dirty word in his mouth, but the people around him immediately and selectively ignored it. At this moment, it was the most critical moment, and the garrison officer responsible for the defense of the entire island was actually on the scene.

It is really unreasonable to leave one's post during duty hours.

However, there was no time to relieve his anger at this time. Mr. Qian quickly ordered to light the beacon tower on the island to ask for help from the fleet. At the same time, he sent people to the town to find the guard and asked him to come as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. Mr. Qian led the

With the officers they could find in the camp, the soldiers immediately prepared weapons and armor, and then went straight to the beach near the dock.

There are only more than 200 defenders on the island, otherwise they would not have only sent one to guard Buehler. To put it bluntly, the Ming army relied on the strength of the navy and did not take the Qing army's fleet seriously.

, and do not believe that the Qing army has the ability to carry out landing operations. Even the Ming army of more than two hundred people, their daily work is more to maintain order on the island, guard against small groups of pirates, and at the same time serve as a deterrent.

As for fighting, it's something I haven't done in a long time.

Wolf smoke billowed into the sky, until the eastern beacon tower of Daxi Mountain in the distance responded with smoke. After the initial panic, thanks to the presence of a conscientious officer like Mr. Qian, the fire was finally recovered.

A little rhythm. Mr. Qian took the more than 100 Ming troops in the military camp and at the same time sent people to the dock to call up the dozens of patrolling Ming troops, including the soldiers guarding the warehouse.

, it can be said that except for the wounded in the sick hospital and the ambulance soldiers, all the Ming troops in this town and on the pier have been gathered on the only way to the beach and the pier.

The Qing army has begun to land. Mr. Qian can already see that the Qing army is under the banner of Qiang Shijue, the deputy general of the Guangdong Navy. He knows this Qing army general. Last year, the King of Xining swept across Guangxi.

, it was this man who returned to Guangxi with the troops of Dingnan Fan after the incident. He was a well-known general in the Qing Navy.

Even if we don't talk about this person, at this moment, the Qing army seems to have about one or two hundred people, even less than him. But if we talk about those who have not yet landed, there must be seven or eight hundred people.

He only had about two hundred people in his hands, which was really a big difference.

"No, we don't have time to wait any longer. We must launch an attack immediately. As long as we drive the Tatars into the sea, everything will be easy!"

Mr. Qian has been following Lin Cha for many years, and he has some experience in sending his own soldiers out. Now that he has figured out the key to breaking the situation, he can immediately lead his troops to attack.

It is true that this Ming army has not fought for a long time, but it still has drills. President Qian saw that the Qing army had just landed and the formation had not yet been formed. Even though he ordered the formation to attack, the Ming army obeyed the order and quickly completed the formation.

, also pressed forward and attacked.

"The old prince has an order to massacre all the men and women in Hong Kong Island, and all the money seized will belong to you!"

The Qing troops who landed passed his general flags and rushed forward with shouts. Qiang Shijue knew very well that what he needed now was time. As long as the troops behind him caught up after a while, he could rely on his numbers to advance.

His superiority quickly overwhelmed this Ming army, because he knew very well that this Ming army only had more than 200 people, while he brought nearly 800 Qing troops, and there were only a few naval forces, most of whom were elite green battalions.

The Ming army formed a formation to fight, and the Qing army rushed forward. The Ming army was in a tight formation, and the Qing army could not rush forward. After leaving some corpses, they immediately retreated and formed a formation. The Ming army was not in a hurry to rush forward.

For fear of destroying their own formation, they just pressed forward slowly, squeezing the Qing army into the narrow space on the beach.

This is a good start. General Qian has already occupied a favorable terrain. The Qing army is squeezed here. It is difficult for the follow-up troops to form a formation quickly. They can only continue to add fuel to the current formation. Unless those Qing troops who have not yet landed can bypass it.

Crossing the reef to the west is also a path, and it is a path that he cannot take into account at all. But now both sides are fighting for time. As long as he can drive Qiang Shijue into the sea and delay more reinforcements for the navy,

With more time, he can return to intercept the detoured Qing army. Otherwise, even if the Qing army does not detour, he will be killed by the Qing army's numerical superiority sooner or later.

Mr. Qian is still shouting for a fierce battle, and the Ming army is also fighting to the death without any concessions. This is not only because Mr. Qian can win the hearts of the soldiers, but also because there are many family members, relatives and friends of the soldiers here. They still have the chance to win.

If you hope, you can only persevere, there is no other way.

The Ming army's quick reaction really made Qiang Shijue extremely uncomfortable. He never expected that he would be in the embarrassing situation at this moment. Time was also extremely important to him, because he had no idea that Gai Yipeng could hold on.

How long. The sooner the problem is solved, the faster he can use the ships at the dock to evacuate. Otherwise, the violent Ming army will just lock him up on the island, which is what he least wants to see.

His life was at stake. Qiang Shijue was thinking hard about a good strategy. At this time, he saw a Qing army officer landing, and he quickly sent someone to inform him. The next moment, the Qing army officer hid behind several Qing soldiers, picked up his bow and arrows, and only

At the sound of an order, the Qing soldiers immediately squatted down, and the sudden hidden arrows grazed the Qing soldiers' armor and shot out.

The sharp arrow scratched the fiber of the Qing soldier's armor, and then passed through the ear of the Qing soldier in the front row, taking away a drop of blood. Then, the two knives approached quickly, and it passed through the gap first, and then

It passed under the earlobe of the last Ming soldier and inserted it straight into Mr. Qian's throat.

Mr. Qian's eyes widened in disbelief, and he wanted to say something, but all he said was "Uh, ah". The next second, Mr. Qian fell heavily to the ground, accompanied by "Mr. Qian is dead"

screamed, and the Ming army's battle formation collapsed.

"General Xu shoots this beast, and I will report it to the prince as a reward."

"Thank you very much for the recommendation from Commander-in-Chief. I will try my best to repay Commander-in-Chief for recommending me."

The assassins who stabbed people in the back quickly joined in the pursuit of the defeated soldiers. Qiang Shijue wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly said something lucky.

According to the gratifying analysis before the war, the Ming army captured Qiongzhou Prefecture. Chen Kai, Lin Cha, Du Hui, and Li Jianjie were all in Qiongzhou, and the size of the Pearl River Navy was far inferior to that of Lin Cha's fleet. At this moment, Hong Kong Island was the weakest.

At that time, as long as they captured this place, the Ming army's two territories in Chaozhou and Qiongzhou would not be able to be integrated into one, and they would eventually be defeated by the Qing army one by one.

This battle was inevitable, so Shang Kexi regrouped the navy after the Battle of Zhaoqing, built small boats in Dongguan and Zengcheng, and transported them to the camp on the Kowloon Peninsula by manpower. He ordered Gai Yipeng to lead the navy to

At the same time, he led the Qing army to land in the fleet of the Ming army and launched a surprise attack on Hong Kong Island. It was indeed an accident for the Ming army commander Qian, but his reaction made him feel a little cherished for his talents. It was a pity that

He really didn't have much time to waste, so he simply asked a sharpshooter to kill him. But at this moment, he no longer had any interest in looking at Mr. Qian's corpse.

"The bandits have collapsed. There is no need to consider the formation. Kill them all. All the gold, silver, jade and silk on the island will be yours!"

………………

In the town, there is Yangliu Lane, which is far away from the dock. This alley appeared here with the newly built town. Since this place is a little far away from the dock, most of the people living here are not people directly related to the dock business.

The related characters include a tailor, a gardener, a green-skinned idler, and a widow. The man used to grow fragrant trees and died on the mountain.

According to common sense, green-skinned idlers hang out in the market. They usually yell and drink. Although they are not too bad to the neighbors, they are not something to be trifled with. But in this Yangliu Lane, even those green-skinned idlers are absolutely

I didn't dare to mess with the widow, not because the widow's natal family and husband's family were not easy to mess with, but because the woman's current man was really not easy to mess with.

On the floor of the main house of the little widow's house, clothes, shoes and socks, bellybands, and even a waist knife were scattered on the ground. There were tokens for men and women. Looking up, a stout man was standing in front of the table, carrying a pair of tokens.

The white thighs, kept exerting force, aroused bursts of gasping.

There was some vague noise coming from outside, but I couldn't hear it clearly, but the panic in it was obvious. The guard's attention began to be gradually attracted by the movement outside, and his movements gradually slowed down, but he was soon caught by

The sound of "desire" from the person beneath him was brought back, and he merged into this crimson aura again.

However, not even a moment later, I heard someone kicking the door of the courtyard. The small courtyard was not big, so the guards could hear it clearly. They immediately said the word "fuck" and were about to draw their swords to go out.

The eyes were pretty, but with another kick, he kicked open the already lax courtyard door and rushed in.

Shouwei had been having an affair with this little widow for more than a day or two. He had long since stopped taking it seriously, and even the door to the main house was not locked. The visitor pushed the door in and saw the table show, and was taken aback for a moment.

, and then before the guard could curse, the visitor told the whole story.

"The defense is in trouble, the Tatars are attacking..."

"Damn it, the Tatars are attacking. Why don't you ask Jiang Mei'ao why they came to disturb me?"

He reluctantly pulled out the knife. The guard began to lift his pants nonchalantly, cursing, but the person on the table did not come down either. He just kept telling the guard to finish the matter quickly.

.

The person who came was sent by Mr. Qian, and he was already sweating profusely after running all the way. Seeing this situation, Dang even wanted to draw his sword and kill these two bad guys, but now he still expected the guards to return to take charge of the overall situation, so he had to kill them.

The garrison was pulled aside and the Qing navy attacked. The Ming navy responded. At this moment, the Qing fleet was rowing towards the island. The situation was clear.

Hearing this, the guard didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly rolled up his clothes and rushed out of the door. Except for the people who followed him, only the resentment of dissatisfaction followed him far away.

This place is a bit far from the pier, but it is still a little closer to the beach. Without saying anything, the guard took the people who came and ran straight to the beach. Who knew that before they ran out of the town, they saw Nie, the leader of the rescue team?

My mother came with a group of ambulance soldiers and a few sick and wounded soldiers, and also ran towards there.

"We've come just in time. I'm in need of reinforcements. Please follow me to get reinforcements!"

Without saying a word, the garrison took over the command and led the team to rush there. No one had any objections to this and hurriedly chased after them. Unexpectedly, as soon as they rushed out of the town, they saw the Ming army's battle formation in the distance collapse suddenly.

, the defeated troops immediately rushed towards them.

Behind the defeated troops was the Qing army in hot pursuit. The guards swallowed their saliva and turned around immediately to leave without any hesitation, including the rescue soldiers. Only Nie Yiniang was still stunned.

“Captain Nie, let’s go quickly, it will be too late if you don’t leave!”

There were still ships on the pier, especially those that had been confiscated and had no owners, so the merchants took advantage of this opportunity to escape. The ambulance soldier who usually looked down on Nie Niang the most shouted loudly, and then simply grabbed her arm.

Originally, Daxi Mountain was in chaos and the navy was fighting. The rescuers rushed to the dock and waited to take care of the wounded. As a result, the navy did not wait and waited for the Qing army's landing force. Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Nie Niang,

Next, they rushed to help General Qian in the battle. Unexpectedly, as soon as they ran out of the town, they saw the Ming army defeated. Now even the garrison had fled, and there was no longer any hope.

At this moment, there was a force pulling back on her arm, but Nie Niang threw the ambulance soldier away, and then she let go of her hair, which was usually tied up like a man, and picked up one of her subordinates.

The spear dropped on the ground.

When she was at Camp Biao, she had practiced with swords, shields, fire guns, and spears. This spear was only seven or eight feet, which was much lighter than the 15-foot spear she used at that time.

, it doesn’t feel heavy at all when placed in your hand, and it even feels a bit uncomfortable.

However, with the spear in hand, she felt a bit more secure in her chest. At this moment, she raised the spear high and shouted at the defeated soldiers: "I am Nie Niang, the leader of the rescue team. I was a lucky woman who survived in Guangzhou City.

Widows who came down. The gangsters of Green Camp are behind you, but most of your family members are in the town. The navy of the King's Division will be back soon. If we don't fight now, why don't we let the soldiers of the navy come back to fight for you and you?

Can’t my family collect the body? My family is not here, but I am a warrior, my duty is my duty, and I am willing to fight for it. Ladies, don’t let me, a woman, look down on you!”

After that, Nie Niang rushed out with her spear in hand. The Ming army only had more than two hundred people, and the scattered crowd was not dense. Nie Niang went upstream through the gap in the torrent of escape, and her speed was not inferior to

Those defeated troops.

The rescue soldier stood there dumbfounded, looking at what was happening in front of him in disbelief. At the same time, the fleeing Ming army, after passing by, were all surprised that a woman actually wanted to intercept and kill the Qing army with one person.
