Hearing someone calling himself, Gou Xingwang looked up and saw several soldiers of the Restoration Army, who were lying on the side of the moat looking at him, and immediately said angrily: "What do you care about me? Blow open the gates and storm the city. ”

Gou Xingwang has been at the bottom of the moat, and he doesn't know that the city gate has been blown up, and he is still urging the people of the Restoration Army to blow up the door. Fuming Jun, who was lying by the river, said: "General, the gunpowder at the city gate was detonated just now, and now the city gate has been blown up." ”

Gou Xingwang had already lost a lot of blood, and his whole head was now dizzy. After listening to the words of the people above, he was so angry that he almost turned his back on his back directly, and shouted: "The city gates have been blown up, you are attacking the city, what are you watching me do?" You shitty bastards. ”

Hearing Gou Xingwang's words, the talents of the Restoration Army immediately reacted. The gate of Hanyang City was gone, and the Fuming Army, who was still lying on the ground just now, suddenly jumped up and roared angrily: "The city gate is gone, rush, kill the Qing soldiers." With a roar, he rushed straight into the city.

The Qing soldiers in the city were still dizzy from the violent explosion just now. At this time, they didn't react, and the Qing army in the gate hole under the city. In the explosion just now, the body was shattered, and not even a single corpse was intact. Now there is no one at the city gate, and as these soldiers of the Restoration Army rushed into the city, the people who had just been blown up by the explosion seemed to have just come back to their senses.

The people inside the city wall shouted and ran towards the city, and the Restoration Army outside the city also burst into shocking cheers in an instant. All the soldiers of the Restoration Army rushed to the city, chasing the Qing army that had begun to flee and slash and kill.

The Qing troops in the city didn't dare to laugh anymore at this time, and they each looked for a way and fled one after another. Only Gou Xingwang was still lying at the bottom of the moat and shouted: "You dogs, you don't have to run all of them, let someone pull me up." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another person above: "General, don't panic, we're here to save you." Only then did he realize that it was his own soldiers, and he didn't know where they were looking for a cloth belt, so he threw it down, and climbed down the two of them along the cloth belt. Tie the cloth strap to Gou Xingwang's body, and then the person above began to pull, and the two people below helped lift it up.

Gou Xingwang was pulled up by a few people like carrying goods, and then other soldiers came to help and pulled up the two soldiers who went down. Gou Xingwang saw that there were more than a dozen people squatting there next to him. Gou Xingwang said: "You don't go to attack the city yet, what are you doing squatting there?" ”

After Gou Xingwang was pulled up just now, there were few people in the entire Hanyang City, and these dozen or so people were the most conspicuous here. Those people suddenly said aggrievedly: "General, it's not that we don't go, we can't go." ”

Gou Xingwang said angrily: "Bastard, now is the time to attack the city, where are you squatting, why can't you go." Don't rush into the city and kill the enemy. "If it weren't for Gou Xingwang's injured legs now, he would have gone over to smoke these people.

When the soldiers heard that General Gou Xingwang was angry, they suddenly didn't dare to squat, and hurriedly got up and ran to the city. But the posture of several people running away was wrong, they all held their pants in their hands, and then held the knife in their arms.

Gou Xingwang then said: "Where are your trouser belts? Those soldiers immediately looked at the hands of Gou Xingwang's own soldiers. Only then did Gou Xingwang understand that the cloth belt he used to pull himself up just now was the trouser belt of these soldiers. I had to say, "Okay, you come back and tie the trouser belt first." ”

After a busy time, there were no soldiers outside the city. The Qing army on the other two embankments has been wiped out by the Restoration Army. Some of the cowards have already surrendered. The embankment was also completely occupied by the Restoration Army, and the Restoration Army that remained there just now had already begun to deploy defenses. The Qing army on the Yangtze River, seeing that the Restoration Army had all attacked the city, was now inconvenient to fire no more artillery.

On the contrary, the artillery array on Turtle Mountain began to fire artillery at the Qing army sailors on the Yangtze River. Although the current artillery of the Restoration Army is not large, it adheres to Zhu Youdong's covering bombardment. At the request of Zhou Linyuan, the gunners on Guishan no longer aimed alone, but concentrated on shelling the naval warships.

At first, only one cannon was fired, and this was the test distance. The Qing army's sailors only believed that this was an artillery array on Guishan Mountain, and fired artillery in order to reinforce Hanyang City. It's just that the error is a little bigger, after all, whether the cannon of this era can hit or not really depends on luck. So the Qing army on the Yangtze River didn't care.

But it didn't take long for me to suddenly hear the continuous roar of artillery from the artillery positions on Turtle Mountain. Then the shells were overwhelming, flying towards the naval warships. At this time, the Qing Army's naval division realized that the shell just now was not a big error, but the entire artillery position on Guishan was lost.

Li Guodong, the commander of the Qing army's naval division, saw the cannons on Turtle Mountain and fired directly at his own warship. Suddenly shouted: "Turn around quickly and turn the rudder." But it was too late, and the flying cannonballs suddenly stirred up a column of water several feet high on the surface of the river. More than two dozen shells, covering the ships of the naval division, immediately hit three ships.

Two of them were better, only some of the buildings on the ship were smashed. But one was more unlucky, and was hit by three shells. One of the shells hit the stern of the ship directly on the edge of the ship, breaking several pieces of the plank in that place, revealing a large hole seven feet square. Immediately, the river poured into it with a bang, and the Qing army on the boat wanted to plug the hole. However, the hole that was punched out was too big to be plugged.

At this time, Li Guodong knew that the fleet could no longer stop, and immediately urged the helmsman and shipwright to leave the ship. But all of a sudden, I was able to walk there again. Just after this delay, before the ships turned around, the cannons on Turtle Mountain began to roar again.

This time, the incoming shells were more accurate, and six battleships were damaged. Four of them were not much of a problem, and only two of them were badly damaged. A ship has penetrated the underwater hull and is flooding. The other was hit by several shells in a row, has now lost power and is sinking.

In desperation, Li Guodong had no choice but to take the dynamic Wuchang Naval Division and began to retreat, and then sent small boats to tow back several seriously damaged warships. But the effect is not very great, these three ships, basically now can not move. The Qing army's boat had just put the rope on it, and it hadn't had time to tow it away.

These three ships were taken care of by the cannons of Kameyama and sunk into the river one after another. The Qing troops on the boat also jumped into the water to flee for their lives. Seeing this, Li Guodong had no choice but to return to Wuchang Water Village with the naval fleet.

Gou Xingwang, who was carried into the city by his own soldiers, did not know the current situation of the Qing army's naval division on the Yangtze River. I just heard the cannon on Turtle Mountain, and I was immediately relieved. After entering the city, he saw a lot of Minzhuang and Qing soldiers fleeing in all directions, and Gou Xingwang immediately asked people to maintain order.

After entering the county seat from the Fengshan Gate of Hanyang City, a main street directly connects to the county office, and on the right hand side is the official warehouse and the school field. After Gou Xingwang was carried into the county office, Lang Zhong immediately came to treat Gou Xingwang's injuries, and he simply stopped the bleeding outside the city just now. Now Lang Zhong opened Gou Xingwang's wound, re-cleaned it, and then sutured it.

While being treated by Langzhong, he kept commanding the Ming Restoration Army everywhere to clear the Qing army in the city. Hanyang is bordered by the Yangtze River in the east and Hankou in the north. Therefore, outside the county, there are still all kinds of government offices and docks.

At this time, Dong Erchang of Qianhu was rushing out of the east gate with people and attacking various government offices and wharves along the Yangtze River. The entire Yangtze River was in chaos, not only the Qing army was running, but also the boatmen on the dock, and the people were strong. Many people are accidentally squeezed into the Yangtze River.

Although the people of the Restoration Army shouted in the back: "Surrender or kill." "But it still doesn't work much. It's not that these people are not afraid of death, but the people on the side of Hanyang, most of the family members are in Wuchang opposite. If they surrender now, will the Qing army be able to spare their families?

Hanyang County Ling just came out of the east gate, and he didn't dare to stay, and ran directly to Ximakou Wharf. Let his servants go and grab a boat, drive all the others off the boat, and then the servants come and ask the county to order them to go up. When the county magistrate saw that all the people he brought were on the boat, he immediately asked the boatman to cross the river.

As soon as the boatman was about to start the boat, a group of clear soldiers came from the shore, shouting and screaming for the people on the boat to roll down immediately. Seeing this, the Hanyang County Commander shouted: "I've blinded your dog's eyes, and I don't want to see who my lord is, dare to let me come down, you are not tired of life." ”

At this time, a general flag came from behind the Qing soldiers, and he came up directly and gave the county commander a slap, saying: "If it weren't for the Lao Tzu to protect you, you would have been chopped up by the Ming army now, what are you angry about?" Hurry up and roll down for Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will throw you into the Yangtze River to feed the fish. ”

The servant of the county order wanted to step forward to theorize, and immediately pushed and shoved with those Qing soldiers. At this time, the shouts of the Ming army came from the shore again, and several people immediately panicked. Seeing this, the Qing soldiers immediately pushed hard twice, and the boat, which was originally small, suddenly shook.

As a result, this county magistrate was a weak scholar, originally pushed by a few people, he was already a little unstable on his feet, but now he was suddenly shaken a few times, and he couldn't stand even more, and he directly "plopped" and fell into the Yangtze River.

The hundred households really looked at it in the back, and saw that the goods were broken. Even if this county order is rescued, it is estimated that he will not give up. What's more, now the Restoration Army on the shore is in a hurry to chase after them, and suddenly their hearts are crossed, and they go forward directly, and they don't stop doing anything. drew a knife and cut down the two subordinates of the county order, and then threw the body into the Yangtze River. Said loudly: "The county order was killed by the Ming army. ”

At this time, the people of the Restoration Army also chased after them, and the people around them immediately stopped running when they heard it. Seeing the Restoration Army rushing over, there were no more boats on the dock. Those who wanted to survive suddenly surrendered on their knees, not daring to run anymore.

After the general flag who had just boarded the boat threw the county commander and others into the Yangtze River, he directly forced the boatman to drive away with a knife. When leaving, the general flag also picked up the oars and hit the county commander's head directly. The county order bubbled up in the water twice, and there was no movement.

Dong Erchang came over with people, and when he saw that these people were kneeling down and surrendering, he hurriedly asked someone to watch them. Then he led his people and chased after the Yuehukou and Jijiazui Wharf in front, and the Qing army did not organize resistance along the way. As for the county order that fell into the Yangtze River just now, no one cares about him anymore.

By the time Dong Erchang chased him to the mouth of Yuehukou, Zhou Linyuan, who had led people down from Turtle Mountain, had already come over from Jijiazui Wharf. The ships that should have been detained were also left behind, and a lot of prisoners were collected.

The two joined forces again and went to the Wusheng Temple ferry to the west. As soon as the two arrived at the Wushengmiao ferry, they found that many boats had come from the direction of Hankou. The ships were docking, and many clerks and merchants were coming down.

As soon as these people came down, they saw Dong Erchang and others coming over with military land. Originally, I thought that Dong Erchang and the others were going to support Hankou, but suddenly said: "General, you don't have to go, Hankou has been occupied by the Ming army, and those traitors, using the grain transport team as a cover, rushed directly into the grain depot." The defending army there has been scattered by the Ming army. ”
