Chapter 22: Beating the Snake Seven Cun (Part 2)(1/2)
The second beacon fire at Taixi Mountain started from the beacon tower in the east, not the north. It is obvious that it originated from Hong Kong Island.
The naval battle in the southern part of Lingdingyang is still going on. The Qing army's persistent pursuit makes it difficult for the deputy general to find a chance to escape, so he can only fight with it until the Qing navy is completely eliminated.
But in this case, the only thing that can be counted on is the defenders themselves. Regarding this, the deputy general is extremely worried. As for the reason, it seems that the Ming army's naval strength has an overwhelming advantage. Even now, Jiang Mei'ao's
The fleet was not even half of Lin Cha's fleet, but facing the Qing army, even the dozens of warships under his command could dwarf the Qing army, let alone the entire fleet.
This is a good thing, but it is also not a good thing, because the power of the sea is too strong, which will make the defenders even more paralyzed. Especially the defender, a relative of Lin Cha, who is not very capable and is also greedy for women.
Even when he was on duty, he couldn't control his lower body. It is said that when Lin Cha was still there, the guy was a little restrained. At least he didn't dare to go out and do anything without permission when he was on duty. But when Lin Cha left, he even let himself go and wished he could live in the house.
The little widow's legs were closed.
Pointing at such a garrison general who came here to gain seniority through relatives, the deputy general really didn't dare to give any hope. The only thing he can hope for now is that the beacon towers along the way have spread to the west, and Jiang Mei'ao's army is moving towards the west.
The fleet patrolling the Pearl River Estuary Islands will return soon. Even if he still can't escape, Jiang Mei'ao will be able to give those Qing troops a good look.
………………
Spotting the gap in the flow of people, Nie Niang rushed up against the escape route of the defeated troops, holding a long spear, and went straight towards the pursuing Qing soldiers.
She was so maverick, especially since she was a woman. Even the fleeing Ming soldiers always took a second look at her when they passed by. But in this situation, no one paid attention to her crazy words.
, there were only words left in his mind like "President Qian is dead, defeated, run away" and nothing else.
The defeated soldiers, and even her subordinates, looked at her as if she were a madman, but Nie Yiniang didn't care about it. Her black hair was dancing in the wind, and she was occasionally swept by figures passing by.
However, her body that was moving forward could not be touched, it was just a more eye-catching dance posture.
With the spear in hand, Nie Yiniang had already noticed one of the Qing pursuers who was charging the most aggressively. He was a tall and round man, and at first glance he looked at least twice as big as her. At this moment, she was striding to catch up.
A knife hit the back of a defeated Ming army soldier, knocking him to the ground.
The Ming army who was chopped down was not dead for a while, but the Qing army was still hesitant. He didn't know which one would be more trouble-free: inserting a knife into the back or cutting off the head. He was a man who had never been on the battlefield several times.
Because he was tall and strong, he became the vanguard, but he had some shortcomings in experience. Relying on being in front of the formation, he rushed forward with all his strength. After slashing with the sword, he hesitated for a moment, but without waiting, he
Not far away, I saw a Ming army coming against the torrent of deserters. Her hair was disheveled, and upon closer inspection, she turned out to be a woman.
"Damn it, the thieves don't have any men anymore, so why are the women also joining the battle?"
Regardless of the Ming army who was seriously injured and waiting to die, the green battalion soldiers rushed towards Nie Niang, but they had to see clearly this new thing, which would be a source of conversation in the future.
The soldiers of the green camp rushed forward with their swords in hand, but they did not take Nie Niang seriously. They cut down two defeated Ming soldiers along the way, rushed straight in front of Nie Niang, and kicked her.
This kick is so powerful and heavy that even a man may not be able to bear it. What's more, Nie Niang is just a fisherman girl with a thin body. Even if she has been polished in the army for several years, she is not as big-bodied and round-waisted as a villain.
Mother-in-law.
However, knowing that this kick was impossible to catch, Nie Niang simply took advantage of her dexterity and dodged sideways to avoid the blow. The next second, she took a step back, seized the opportunity, and struck out.
The spear thrust out with lightning speed and pierced the Qing soldier's throat. Even the man who subconsciously raised his hand to block the sword did not finally land on the spear until blood spattered out.
The Qing army looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. He had never taken Nie Niang seriously. Who knew that it was precisely because of this carelessness that he fell in love with this woman who had always used him as a man's lord since the First World War in Guangzhou?
A woman's trick.
With the gun head stuck in his throat, the Qing army subconsciously dropped their swords and shields and was about to grab the gun head, but at this moment, Nie Niang also subconsciously turned the gun barrel and pulled out the spear.
The long gun was pulled out, and there was still a small section of trachea on the gun head. The Qing army's eyes widened, and they clutched their throats desperately, but they still could not suppress the splatter of blood. The flow of blood took away life, and the Qing army was gone in an instant.
It was no longer possible to support the huge body, so he just fell to the ground holding the wound.
Blood splashed on Nie Niang's face, even dyeing her vision red. However, she is no longer the same person who assassinated Xu Long in the Pearl River water battle and stayed there after being splashed with blood.
She was caught on the spot and almost escaped being hacked to death by Xu Long's clan members on the water. Over the years, whether it was in the Pearl River water battle, in the defense of Zhongzuo Station, or even in the injury hospital after various battles, she had seen many
There was too much blood. Even if the blood splashed all over her face at this moment, she did not hesitate at all. She didn't even watch the Qing soldier fall to the ground before rushing towards the next Qing soldier who rushed in with a spear...
"Damn, this crazy bitch!"
The ambulance soldier who had just tried to drag Nie Niang away stood there, with the corners of his mouth twitching.
He was the least willing to join the rescue team. In the words of others, women should be found to do the work of serving people. There is a market for this in the military, especially since there is a real man here.
In the case of the female rescue captain, it seemed to have a theoretical basis. He was already dissatisfied when he was assigned to the rescue team, but who knew that he was assigned to work under the female rescue captain? This is even more...
Make him full of complaints.
However, at the moment when he saw the defeat of the Ming army, thinking of Nie Niang's earnestness in teaching them how to do things during this period, and thinking of the love in the army, he still felt that he should drag her along and run together. But this crazy woman actually
She shook off his hand, picked up a spear on her own, revealed her gender, and after saying so many crazy things, she rushed forward alone.
He had never seen such a scene before at his age. He was stunned for a moment, but before he could recover and react from the shock of Nie Niang's suicidal counterattack, Nie Niang actually appeared in front of him.
His face killed a Qing soldier, a strong Qing soldier who was much bigger and rounder than him.
Cold sweat began to break out from behind. Only at this moment did he really understand the difference between those who had killed and those who had not. Those who had killed on the battlefield and those who had stabbed someone to death in a private fight.
What a huge difference. Recalling the past events of Nie Yiniang's assassination of Xu Long, recalling the defensive battle of Zhongzuo, and looking at the woman who was fighting hard at this moment, trying to save the defeat with her own strength, cold sweat began to evaporate.
, the blood began to boil. The reason was not because he was afraid of being looked down upon by a woman, but precisely because this woman had now replaced President Qian who died in the battle, replaced the escaped guard, and became his backbone!
"Brothers, there is still a way to survive if we stick together, otherwise you can't escape from this island?!"
The rescuer shouted loudly, immediately picked up the spear he had just thrown on the ground, and rushed up after Nie Niang. Along with it, several rescuers and wounded soldiers who had been friends with each other on weekdays and had not run far away at the moment saw each other.
In this way, they looked at each other and secretly cursed Nie Niang and the rescue soldier for being troublesome, but they quickly turned around and went back to kill them.
Killing two people in a row, Nie Niang's behavior has attracted the attention of the Qing army. Three Qing troops surrounded her. Nie Niang was caught in a fierce battle. Her arm was cut open, and even her chest was cut.
There was also a gap in her military uniform. If she hadn't reacted quickly enough and her body was flexible enough, the knife would have opened her chest and revealed her fiery heart.
With one against three, even a veteran soldier on the battlefield would always be in danger, let alone one like her. In an instant, there was another siege, this time completely blocking her room for maneuvering, and even if she had to
Her life. But at this moment, the rescue soldiers also caught up and swarmed up. Instead, they punched the old master to death. With the strength of their numbers, they quickly killed the three
The army killed him on the spot.
"Team leader, if you can survive after this battle, please tell Fu Biao that he really doesn't want to be a paramedic anymore."
Wiping the blood on his face, while the Ming soldiers were fighting with other Qing soldiers and he couldn't intervene for a moment, the rescuer quickly came to Nie Niang's side and poured out the words that had been stored in his heart for a long time.
It even made Nie Niang smile and make a solemn promise.
"Damn it, I don't want to live in a world where people poke my spine every day and make fun of me for not being a bitch, so I might as well die now!"
Someone took the lead, and there were a few who were infected and followed, and Nie Niang's madness quickly spread through the crowd of defeated troops like an infectious disease. More and more Ming troops defeated the troops and cursed.
After fighting back, they ran into the pursuit of the Qing army who had no formation and thought the battle was over.
There was no formation on both sides, but the Ming army had already "gone crazy". How could normal people be the opponents of madmen? They were immediately beaten and turned upside down.
The Ming army's counterattack was effective. Even more Ming troops came back and further increased the number of Ming troops. However, after being caught off guard in the first round, the Qing army gave up the pursuit and turned to face these counterattacking Ming troops.
military.
"Get into formation, the smoke has already been ignited. If you hold on for a while, the navy's robes will come back!"
The female war goddess, who was already covered in blood, shouted loudly, and the surrounding Ming army responded immediately and quickly formed a formation. With the battle formation, there was a way of interdependence between each other. The confidence of the Ming army lies in Nie Niang
Thanks to our hard work, we have become even stronger, and our morale is even better than when President Qian was leading the team just now.
The Ming army was like this, and Qiang Shijue could not help but see it. He was an ignorant person, and he had probably never heard of the saying "Walking around, the person you are most afraid of encountering is not a burly man practicing martial arts, but a monk."
, children and women." However, after this experience, he probably has some understanding.
"Where's Boss Zhou? Shoot that bitch to death for me!"
Qiang Shijue shouted loudly and wanted to repeat his old trick. Unexpectedly, when his own soldier pointed his finger, Qiang Shijue noticed that the sharpshooter was eager to make a contribution. He had rushed too far earlier and had already been counterattacked by Ming Ming.
The soldiers hacked him to death with swords, and everyone was stunned.
The battle was still going on, and the shouts of killing were loud. Qiang Shijue looked around, especially when he looked back, but he suddenly felt a lot of doubts in his heart. Without him, he had brought nearly 800 green battalions this time, for this purpose.
The docks and towns were massacred, which destroyed the prestige of the Ming army in Guangdong. Now that the Ming army has broken down and fought again, even if it has a backbone, it is only more than a hundred people. Now more and more troops are landing.
It's nothing more than delaying some time.
"Kill, surround them and kill all these thieves who don't know whether to live or die. No one will be left alive!"
Qiang Shijue was already furious, but in his heart he still secretly prayed that Gai Yipeng could hold on longer so that he could complete the task better.
At this time, Gai Yipeng was still fighting with Jiang Mei'ao's lieutenant on the lonely ocean. One wanted to leave, and the other was stalking them. It was like a pair of lovers facing a one-sided breakup, inseparable. Gai Yipeng
How long Peng can sustain it is hard to say, especially since Jiang Mei'ao's fleet has returned and is rushing over.
What both sides need now is time. The Ming army's navy is desperately galloping back, so the Ming army needs to hold on longer. The Qing army needs to get rid of this Ming army as quickly as possible, because only in this way can it better complete the attack on Hong Kong.
Island destruction mission.
The battle was still going on. The confusion caused by Nie Niang's beating gradually faded away. The Qing army calmed down and gradually regained the initiative on the battlefield by relying on their absolute numerical superiority. The battle was still going on here.
, Qiang Shijue, who had rich combat experience, even detached some Qing troops to go around the town behind the Ming army to kill people and set fires, in order to quickly disintegrate the morale of the Ming army.
The two sides were going back and forth, fighting to the bitter end. They had used all the means at their disposal, and now they were just desperate.
Compared with the Qing army, the number of the Ming army was at a serious disadvantage from the beginning when General Qian led the team. Earlier, it was okay to pin the Qing army on the beach and not give the Qing army room to continue to expand. But now, the Qing army has completely
After landing, Nie Niang took these broken troops and relied on her own courage to inspire morale, which could only support more than a hundred people.
Over at the pier, merchants have already boarded ships and left the island, and their numbers are also continuing to decrease. Even if they can always save their lives, the Qing army has too many people and they can no longer kill them.
The Ming army's formation began to gradually turn into an arc shape when surrounded by the Qing army. Such shrinkage could better prevent the formation from breaking. However, it is difficult to say how long it can last.
To be continued...
