Chapter 18 The Battle of Quanzhou (2)

At this moment, within the city of Quanzhou.

Since the first cannon shot from outside the city, people have set fires everywhere in Quanzhou City, and riots have also occurred in the residential areas in the city. After hearing the deafening shouts of killing outside the city, the riots became more serious!

Under the night, countless people dragged their families and took all the property they could get, and rushed towards the location of the county government.

"Go, let's go!"

"Get out of the way...don't get in my way!"

"Father, where are you? Woooooooo..."

Crying, shouting, the sound of carriages, and the explosion of the flames burning wood, all kinds of sounds merged into one group, and the situation became more and more chaotic.And in the chaos, there were naturally no shortage of people who took advantage of the fire to loot and loot everywhere.

"Hand over all the valuables on your body, and don't let the master do it."

"Don't get in the way of me, go aside!"

"Yo, this chick is pretty! Hehe."

In the dark alley, the carriage outside the horseman was stopped by the robbers, and even the boy who was driving the carriage was hacked to death. Facing the shining daggers in front of him, Yuanwai the horseman did not dare to make any moves.

"You guys can have as much money as you want, please let me go!"

"You can go, leave her behind." The leading robber pointed at the daughter of the horseman, the desire in his eyes was undisguised.

"father!"

"No, since her mother left, Ping'er has depended on me for life, please let her go!" Ma Yuanwai knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Hmph, old man! I'll send you on the road first." The robber in the head looked grim, angrily drew out his long knife, and slashed towards the horsemen.

"Father, be careful!"

"Hmm." The robber leader paused in mid-air, his face full of disbelief, and he saw a shining long knife stabbing his whole body from behind.

Then there was an extremely indifferent voice: "Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

"Yes."

As the blades flew, all the bandits who robbed the road before fell to the ground, and a strong smell of blood permeated the alley, and the horse Yuanwai who survived the robbery hugged his daughter tightly.

"Wai Yuan, hurry up and go to the county government office!"

The person who spoke was Master Li, who led the arresters to maintain order in the city. He was riding on a horse, looking at the place where the fire was not far away, and said in a deep voice: "There are Japanese pirates and spies in the city, set fire everywhere! Let's go, go to the city. Over there."

The arresters quickly took the lead and followed closely behind.

……

"How long will it take to reach Quanzhou?" Qi Jiguang turned around and asked the adjutant beside him.

"General, it only takes half an hour at most for our army to arrive at Quanzhou."

"What about the other two reinforcements?"

"Judging from the information they sent before, they are similar to us."

"Well, pass on the order, the whole army should speed up! Try to reach Quanzhou within half an hour."

"Yes."

Behind Qi Jiguang, countless queues of well-equipped Ming troops were marching at an incredible speed, without making any sound during the whole process.

Outside the city of Quanzhou, the battle at this time has become increasingly fierce. On the one hand, the defenders in the city have almost exhausted their ammunition, while the Japanese pirates have suffered too many casualties.

"No retreat! No retreat!"

The soldiers who retreated from the battlefield were mercilessly slashed and killed by the soldiers who supervised the battle behind them. After killing dozens of deserters in a row, they barely stopped the momentum of the rout.

On the tower, Yang Zongtai frowned after listening to the soldiers' report, "You mean there is only one round of ammunition and arrows left?"

"Yes, and it seems that spies of Japanese pirates have infiltrated the city, and they are setting fires everywhere, and now the common people are gathering at the county government office."

After hearing the soldiers' report, Yang Zongtai couldn't help worrying about his wives and children in the city. He wished he could go back to the county government office right now. Anyone who dares to shoot early will be executed on the spot!"

"Yes." The soldier took the order and left in a hurry.

Soon, the Japanese pirates organized a new round of attack, stepping over the corpses of their predecessors, approaching the city gate step by step, with a steady stream of gunfire behind them, providing support for them.

'Boom! 'Several shells exploded on the city gate, and there was an overwhelmed creaking sound from the city gate.

"Come on, brothers! The first one to rush into Quanzhou City will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver!"

"They're out of ammo, kill them!"

In this attack, the Japanese pirates were not hindered too much, and they were getting closer and closer to the city gate.

"Eighty steps...seventy steps...fifty steps...thirty steps, hit me!" Yang Zongtai said silently in his heart, seeing that the enemy's advance troops had reached the maximum killing distance, he ordered to shoot.

'boom! With a volley, countless iron sands shot out from the firecrackers, killing seven or eight of the Japanese pirates' advance troops, and the rest hurriedly retreated before they could remove their companions' bodies.

"Brother, let them join the attack too! Going on like this is not an option." Chen Dong looked anxiously at the retreating soldiers.

"No hurry, just wait." Xu Hai put down the binoculars, looking confident.

"What are you waiting for! If we continue to fight like this, our brothers will almost die. Didn't the previous intelligence say that there are only one thousand defenders in Quanzhou City? How could it be so difficult?"

"Don't worry, I sent a team of spies to get in there before this, and take the city gate at the right time. The time should be fast, you go and let them get ready!"

"Yes."

……

At the gate of the city, the police team led by Mr. Li met a group of masked men head-on. There were more than 20 masked men, well-equipped and good at hiding. They were the ones who set fire to all over the city and caused riots. As soon as they met each other, they surrounded the policemen.

"Who?" A policeman pulled out his knife and asked subconsciously, but what greeted him was a ruthless sword.

"Kill them all! Not one left."

The leader of the masked man looked at the arrester blocking the way in front of him, feeling unhappy, and said in a low voice to his hands.

"Everyone, we may die here today."

Master Li pulled the knife out of a masked man, blood splashed all over his face, and joked with a smile.

"It's our blessing to be able to die with Mr. Li! After living for so many years, I don't think so, it's enough."

"kill!"

"kill!"

A moment later, as the last policeman fell, the team of policemen led by Mr. Li was beheaded to death by the masked men.

"It's really difficult!" After the leading masked man complained, he led the rest of the people away. Mr. Li couldn't rest assured, his eyes were still fixed on the direction of the city gate.

'Squeak, squeak! 'Just hearing a tooth-piercing voice, the gate of Quanzhou City, which had been unable to attack for a long time, was opened.

"The city gate is open, brothers, come on!"

"As long as you enter the city, you will be allowed to plunder!"

Seeing that the city gate was broken, Chen Dong quickly ordered a full-line attack, and the elites who had been supervising the battle before all joined the battle. These elites were all armored and well-equipped.

"My lord, the city gate is broken!" On the city tower, the soldiers hurriedly reported to Yang Zongtai, with a little crying in their tone.

"I know." Yang Zongtai said indifferently.

"Go, send the order! Attack across the board and block them outside Quanzhou City. Behind us are the people of Quanzhou City. We cannot retreat! Even if we die, we must die on the way to kill the enemy." Yang Zongtai took a handful from the soldiers. With a long knife, he took the lead and went down the tower.

Behind him, one soldier after another came out of the Urn City and the Arrow Tower.

"My lord, there are 350 guards in Quanzhou, please review them." The speaker was Zhang Zongwei, a thousand households in Quanzhou Prefecture. He had an arm broken by the Fran machine gun and was holding a knife with one hand at the moment.

Yang Zongtai's eyes swept over the soldiers present one by one. Facing the ensuing battle, they were either nervous or afraid, but none of them flinched.

"I, Yang Zongtai, am honored to die with you all!" After Yang Zongtai finished speaking, he lifted his long sword and led the remaining soldiers, and rushed into the enemy line first.

"Kill me!"

"kill!"
