The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 368 Recovering Guangzhou (for Subscription)

The black walls smoked by the smoke, the collapsed houses everywhere, the coke-like corpses among the ruined walls...

The broken wooden pillars and beams are still crackling and burning. Although most of the open fires in the city have been extinguished, the high temperature in many blind spots is still there.

As long as there is a little wind, it may rekindle at any time!
At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army retreated to the Pingnan Palace, the Ming army launched a surprise attack.

Amidst the roar of the explosion of the explosive package, the gate of the inner city was blown wide open.

After the bricks and sandbags blocking the city gate were emptied, a large number of armored soldiers of the Ming army rushed into the inner city of Guangzhou screaming and killing.

On the city wall, more than half of the Qing Dynasty flags that had been burned by the fire landed, and the Ming Dynasty's twelve-pointed sun and moon flag began to fly high on the city walls of the inner city of Guangzhou.

After a large number of Ming soldiers entered the city, they began to advance towards the Pingnan Palace in the center of the city.

There were no obstacles along the way!
It wasn't until they started attacking Pingnan Palace that they encountered resistance.

A Han Army Eight Banners soldier in cotton armor collided with the Ming Army and fought together.

The fierce collision between the two sides was like two torrents strangling together!
Blood spurts, life is passing fast!
The remnants of the Qing army fought bravely. Although their combat power was not as good as that of the Eight Banners soldiers who fought against the Ming army in the outer city, their fighting will was exceptionally tenacious.

The Qing army used life-for-life tactics, and the Ming army couldn't open the situation for a while.

He was blocked at the gate of Pingnan Palace by the Qing army.

collapse!Bumble!

The sound of bowstring trembling sounded one after another, and arrows were thrown out from the high courtyard wall of Pingnan Palace.

Falling into the formation of the Ming army, the effect is very little!
Although the current Qing army has a firm will to fight, the bows and arrows it uses are only light bows, and they are still projectiles, which cannot penetrate armor.

The Ming army threw ignited grenades into the courtyard wall one after another!
After the explosion was over, there were bursts of screams.

Snapped!clap clap!clap clap clap!

A dense volley of muskets fired, and countless lead bullets flew across, killing all the Qing troops rushing to the front.

Grenades and muskets opened the way, and heavy armor rushed in.

The Qing army was constantly pressed back!

Rumble!
This is the sound of the Ming army using explosives to blow up the courtyard wall of Pingnan Palace.

Amidst the rumbling explosion, bricks and stones splashed, and a big hole was blown out on the courtyard wall.

The soldiers of the Ming army rushed in through the gap, circled around and outflanked the rear of the Qing army, which was blocking the door and fighting fiercely with the Ming army.

Those remnants of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, who were stubbornly resisting, finally collapsed!
Many people threw away their weapons, took off their heavy armor, turned around and fled.

Zeng Qizhao took his own soldiers and wanted to break out of the encirclement.

But he bumped into the musketeers of the Ming army head-on. After a neat row of guns, Zeng Qizhao and his personal soldiers were smashed into a sieve by muskets.

This time, he was not as lucky as last time!

Being hit in the face by a musket, only one was injured!

Zeng Qizhao's chest, abdomen, and limbs were all hit by lead bullets, bursting out in clusters of blood.

He was lying on the ground, his breath was weak, and he might die at any time!
With a click, the light of the knife flashed, and the corpse of Zeng Qizhao, the commander-in-chief of Dongguan Town, was separated, and his head was lifted up by a soldier of the Ming army with a mouse tail.

"Zeng Qizhao, the commander-in-chief of Dongguan Town, is dead. Surrender and don't kill him!"

"..."

It is said to be persuading surrender, but it is just a formality.

Because, under the neat row of guns of the Ming army, there are no Qing soldiers who can stand on the battlefield now.

The few Qing soldiers who were still alive were at least seriously injured.

According to the combat regulations of the Ming army, no matter how seriously injured the soldiers are, they must try their best to treat them. Even if the wounded soldiers die, they must die on the operating table.

However, when facing the seriously injured soldiers of the enemy army, the Ming army is generally unwilling to waste resources to rescue them. Under normal circumstances, they will directly make up for the knife.

puff!puff!puff!

Seriously wounded Qing soldiers were continuously mended, their heads were put aside and piled aside, blood pooled into streams.

Together with the puddles left after the heavy rain, it's a blink of an eye!
On the entire battlefield, there are stumps, broken arms, and corpses in various forms of death.

It's like Shura hell!

The festival of the monk Jin Guangzu was blocked in the main hall of the Pingnan Palace. Inside and outside the hall, all the female relatives were mourning and crying.

The howling sound made Jin Guangzu have a headache.

A scene of the end of the world!

Outside, the fight between the Ming army and the Qing army is coming to an end.

Now, there are probably less than a hundred Qing troops still fighting. Some of them are the remnants of Shang Zhijie's Eight Banners of the Han Army, and some are Goshha, the personal soldier of Jin Guangzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Shang Zhijie sat paralyzed on the ground, listening to the shouts of killing one after another outside, his body trembling with fear.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness!"

"Make up your mind, Ming thief is coming in!"

"His Royal Highness, Ming thief is fierce, we can only rely on you..."

"..."

Shang Zhijie didn't answer, his face was slightly pale because of fear, and he just finished talking in a murmur.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of cannon outside.

Then there was an explosion of flower bombs!

The Ming army transported several mortars into the inner city of Guangzhou to attack the Qing army who were still fighting in the Pingnan Palace.

A shell passed through the window lattice and shot into the hall.

With a bang, the shell exploded in the dense crowd, and the stumps and arms recovered instantly, and blood spattered.

Jin Guangzu was knocked to the ground by the shock wave, wiped the stinky blood on his face, his face was full of fear.

"what……"

Suddenly, someone let out a scream.

"What a disaster! What a disaster!"

"His Royal Highness was frightened to death!"

"..."

Jin Guangzu looked over, Shang Zhijie was lying on the ground, his eyes were bulging, his face was pale, his chest didn't rise and fall, he was frightened to death.

In the next instant, His Royal Highness's cries of death resounded throughout the hall and spread outside.

When the Qing troops who were still fighting, their morale collapsed instantly when they heard the news, they no longer had the will to fight.

Many people just dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for surrender.

Or simply close your eyes and wait for death!

Jin Guangzu appeared in front of the Ming army with a Yanling Saber in his hand.

He didn't want to surrender, and the blade rested on his neck, facing north!
"Your Majesty, my servant failed to defend Guangzhou for me, so I will apologise with death today!"

Puff!
With Jin Guangzu's own strength, the sharp blade sliced ​​open his skin, severed the blood vessels and trachea...

Blood poured down the trachea and into the lungs, and Jin Guangzu's throat made a hoo hoo sound.

The body twitched continuously on the ground, and it took a while before he completely swallowed his breath.

The remaining female relatives in the hall also surrendered one after another.

Shang Zhijie's body was also carried out of the hall. The Ming army general who commanded the battle just waved his hand and said.

"Take care of the prisoners of war, pay attention to military discipline!"

"Take these corpses out of the city and hand them over to His Highness Jian Guo, please make a decision!"

The messengers of the Ming army led the order and reported to Zhu Hongyu the good news that Guangzhou City had been completely captured.
