Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 455 Invincible
After the military order was conveyed, all the troops began to prepare. Soldiers of Zhongwu, Zhongzhen and Zheng Jun were all boarding the ship. Wang Yan took a binoculars to look around, and suddenly settled in the direction of Zheng Jun.

On the riverside, a Zheng army was boarding the ship. They were all tall and tall, with dark skin. They were not from the Central Plains. Zheng Chenggong equipped them with iron armor, firecrackers, and Japanese knives. Each of them looked very capable. It turned out to be Zheng's elite Wufan soldiers.

Wang Yan had heard that Zheng Zhilong had a troop formed by black foreigners. They were brave and powerful, and they didn't expect to be in Zheng Chenggong's army now.

In fact, the Zheng family used to conduct maritime trade and had close contacts with Xiyi and Japan. There were not only blacks in the army, but also white ghosts and Japanese.

The Longwu court now had three hundred white soldiers, and Wang Yan was not too surprised by Zheng Chenggong's Wufan soldiers. It was the Japanese swords equipped by the Wufan soldiers that caught his attention.

As we all know, the Japanese sword is a very sharp weapon. At that time, Marshal Qi also had a headache because of this. Because the Yuan Dynasty prohibited civilians from holding weapons in China, they naturally could not be cast. Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty, the casting technology has completely degraded, and the quality of the sword is far away. Can't compare to Japan.

Japanese knives absorbed the technology and characteristics of Tang knives and became famous weapons in the world, while various famous knives and famous swords in China have become legends.

Wang Yan coveted this kind of sword forging technology. Even if he couldn't get the technology, it would be great if he could get a batch of Japanese swords.

At this time, Wang Yan watched from afar, this well-equipped Zheng's elite soldiers all boarded the warship, he was a little envious and worried, Zheng Chenggong sent this elite, it seems that he is the first to break the city. Must win~

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the camp of the Ming army, the huge war drums sounded again, and the warships full of soldiers entered the moat again from Jinjiang. attack.

The Zhongwu army first began to attack the city, with twice the strength of the last time, 6000 troops, and attacked the west city. In addition to the artillery bombardment on the ship, the three thousand bird musketeers and archers also shot arrows at the top of the city. He bullet rain shot at the top of the city, crushing the Qing soldiers unable to raise their heads.

Lian Biao, the Qing general guarding the west city, suddenly felt double the pressure.

Hundreds of warships in the northern city were already in place, and a banner officer cupped his hands to Li Guo and said, "Guardian! The Duke told us to launch an attack immediately while the Qing soldiers were attracted to the western city, and take the lead in capturing Quanzhou." Li Guo nodded. , "I know!" Then he turned around and shouted sharply: "The whole army is attacking the city!"

The soldiers had heard the order a long time ago, and if they break through Quanzhou first, they will be rewarded. All of them are eager to try. On the ship tower, the soldiers all clenched their swords and shields in front of them, just waiting for the moment when the ladder hits the city wall .

With a sound of "Boom~", the ladders on the warship fell down again, and the hooks hung on the city wall. The soldiers began to rush towards the city wall without waiting for the same robes to fix the ladders.

The Qing army woke up like a dream. Zhao Guozuo and his subordinates attacked Zhe Guangqiu and defended the northern city wall. From his own understanding of the battle situation, the main attack of the Ming army should be on the north and south sides, and the name of Zhongzhen Town in the north is undoubtedly stronger than that of Zheng Jun. , so he came to North City to defend himself.

"Smash the kerosene and burn the climbing ladder and the warships of the Ming army~" The Ming army attacking from the north also had 6000 people, while the defenders only had [-], Zhao Guozuo commanded a little uneasy.

When he wanted to come to a big city like Quanzhou, where the moat was so wide, it would take half a month for the Ming army to solve the moat. He could take advantage of this time to step up his defenses, or take the opportunity to slip away. There was plenty of time to choose.

But unexpectedly, the moat in Quanzhou became his flaw. The Ming army only prepared for one day and started to attack. This shocked him and his subordinates, and they couldn't react for a while.

The Qing army suddenly threw out a lot of kerosene canisters. This was the only weapon other than cannons that could threaten the warships of the Ming army. Nearly a hundred oil canisters fell like rain, but most of them fell directly into the water. The rocket was ignited, and the fire was controlled by the Ming army with sand.

At this time, the problem of insufficient preparation of the Qing army was fully revealed. The soldiers from Zhongzhen Town poured in from the ladders, but the Qing soldiers had too few cannons to suppress them at the same time, so many rows of ladders erected on the city.

The arrows of the Qing soldiers came whistling, jingling and shooting at the shields of the Ming army, and they bent and landed one after another. Seeing that the Ming army was about to go to the city, there was a change in the Qing army on the city, and many people began to fear and panic .

Li Laiheng, the hero of Zhongzhen Town, is tall and tall, wearing black armor, holding a huge shield in his left hand and his big iron gun in his right.The Ming army passed through the ladder. Although people kept falling and their bodies fell into the moat, the Ming army who was shot down was a minority after all.

Zhao Guozuo poured kerosene and threw it on a ladder, then threw the torch on it, and lit the ladder, trying to stop the Ming army from coming, but the Ming soldiers gritted their teeth and jumped over.

"Stop them from going to the city, shoot arrows!" Zhao Guozuo yelled in a hoarse voice. He was already sweating profusely, thinking of ways desperately, shooting with arrows, burning with fire, bombarding with guns, trying to stop the Ming army, but There were too many soldiers of the Ming army ascending the city, and the Qing army at the top of the city was suppressed by the Ming army on the warship with bows and arrows. All his methods were of no avail.

At this time, the guerrilla general Zhe Guangqiu beside him suddenly rushed to the side like crazy, raised his knife and slashed at a ladder desperately, and the surrounding Qing troops also woke up like a dream, and rushed forward with their knives raised. The bamboo ladder was hacked with a knife, causing the ladder to shake violently. Several soldiers of the Ming army couldn't stand still and fell off the ladder one after another.

But at this moment, a large shield flew directly over, instantly knocking away several Qing soldiers who were chopping ladders. At this critical moment, there was a roar of thunder in the air, and a tall black figure was like a gust of wind. The ground swept over, and it was Li Laiheng who rushed up.I saw him sweeping with his big gun, flying a piece of air in an instant, and then piercing with the iron spear. In a short while, seven or eight Qing soldiers were stabbed to the ground, and there was a blank space on the city wall.

The Qing general Zhe Guangqiu saw the Ming soldiers on the ladder, took the opportunity to jump up the city wall one after another, his eyes turned red, he shouted, and raised his sword to fight.

Li Laiheng snorted coldly, "Overthinking one's abilities."

In an instant, Zhe Guangqiu ran two steps, and Li Laiheng's big gun swept away, just hitting his helmet, and his whole body was smashed to the ground, bleeding from all his orifices, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Zhao Guozuo, who was not far away, was shocked when he saw this, and after a while, he realized that he quickly ordered the Qing soldiers around him to kill him, intending to take the general Ming to the city and snatch Zhe Guangqiu back.

Li Laiheng smiled coldly, and with a big gun, he threw him into the city regardless of whether he was alive or not. Seeing that the Qing soldiers were terrified, he turned around and shouted: "I will attack the city first, but I will attack the city first." The first attack to break the city belongs to us loyally~"

Hearing the words, all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the top of the city frantically, but at this moment, Zhao Guozuo was suddenly set up by more than ten Qing soldiers and dragged back, "General, the southern city was captured by the Zheng army, and Wang Qifeng was there. Surrender, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

Zhao Guozuo was stunned for a while, and he sighed, "Let's go to Fuzhou from Dongcheng~" Dozens of Qing soldiers guarded Zhao Guozuo, left the city in a hurry, and ran to the east of the city.

On the top of the city, Li Laiheng asked the soldiers to raise the banner, and the morale of the Qing army was immediately drained. The Ming army jumped up the city wall one by one from the ladder, and entered the Qing army.
