The main cavalry of the Qing army north of the Yangtze River had already moved to the northwest, and the rest were fighting with the rebel tribes in Mongolia at this time.

Therefore, whether it is attacking or retreating, they, like the Ming army, rely on two legs.

This gave the musketeers a relatively ample time to shoot.

When the Qing army was pressed towards the remnants of Jiang Quanyi and Wang Yilin, Shen Zhiyuan gave the order to retreat.

Jiang Quanyi and Wang Yilin's remnants turned around and ran away at the moment when they were about to make contact with the Qing army.

Running for life is not active, there is a problem with the brain.

That scene was spectacular.

The Qing army was inexplicable, but the inertia of the charge made them continue to rush forward.

Thus, a massacre of hot weapons against cold weapons began.

There is no need to aim, it is simply a reload, circulating a salvo from the first row to the third row.

In half a pillar of incense, the Qing army finally recovered from the stormy head-on blow, and they retreated, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and wounded, and fled back.

This battle made Shen Zhiyuan really show his face, the soldiers saw the sharpness of the muskets, and after learning that Shen Zhiyuan had brought a boatload of muskets and ammunition, they looked at Shen Zhiyuan's eyes, just like a white bone spirit looking at Tang Sanzang.

As a result, Shen Zhiyuan quickly established his prestige in this remnant.

However, it was impossible for the Qing army to give them too much time, let alone time to practice musket shooting.

Half an hour later, the Qing army gathered about 3,000 men and flocked to the sea again.

The musket had a range of only a hundred paces.

Even closer than a strongbow.

Within this distance, it can be reloaded up to four or five times.

Based on the projectiles fired by 300 musketeers, these 3,000 people could not disappear in 100 shots.

And the question is, are all soldiers sharpshooters?

Apparently impossible!

In other words, the Qing army was ready to exchange human lives for human lives, and it was also necessary to completely wipe out this Ming army on the seaside.

When the Qing army began to attack, even Shen Zhiyuan, who was full of confidence, began to retreat.

Shen Zhiyuan began to give orders, carry out his pre-war deployment - get on the ship and retreat to the sea.

But the remnants plus reinforcements are more than 2,000, and the ship can accommodate a maximum of 600 people, which has to be the case of abandoning the war horse.

All are faced with a difficult choice, who will die? Who lives?

Qian Qiaogong stepped forward firmly, "I'm dead!" ”

Jiang Quanyi was unwilling, "I'll die!" ”

Wang Yilin, who had already stepped onto the side of the ship, finally withdrew the other foot he was about to step out, "Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough...... Jiang Quanyi, don't look at Lao Tzu like this, Lao Tzu dares to die! ”

What kind of generals bring out what kind of soldiers.

With such three people, a group of tired divisions, they can also play an elite style.

After three volleys of muskets, the trio led their troops to launch a counter-charge against the Qing army.

The momentum of the Qing army was obviously defeated, and there was even a precursor to retreat.

But at this time, another wave of follow-up attacks by the Qing army began.

In the horn of the attack, the Qing army, which had the harbinger of retreat, began to grit its teeth and even began to counterattack.

The Ming army, whose physical strength could not keep up, could not stop it, and they fell and retreated one after another.

The musketeers were all on board, because the muskets were of little use because of the stubbornness between the enemy and the enemy.

No matter how ruthless Shen Zhiyuan is, he can't make the decision to shoot indiscriminately.

At this critical juncture of life and death.

There was a loud "rumbling" sound in the distant waters.

Everyone was stunned when numerous explosions exploded in the crowd of the Qing army's second round of attack.

This includes Qian Qiaogong and Shen Zhiyuan.

Artillery!

Blossom bombs!

Navy?

Is it Xingguo Gong or Zhenguo Gong?

Shen Zhiyuan immediately shouted: "Zhoushan Water Division, brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, and the Zhenguo Gong has sent a water division to save us!" ”

The crumbling line of defense miraculously held up.

At this time, no one cares whether it is Xingguo Gong or Zhenguo Gong, as long as it is his own person, it is enough.

The Ming army began to counterattack.

The Qing army was frightened.

With a more dense cannon fire came.

In the distance, the shadow of the sail grew bigger and bigger, and the Qing army finally retreated.

This time, the casualties of the Qing army were even greater, and at least nearly 1,000 people fell on the beach.

The biggest casualties did not come from fighting, but from flowering shells, which were too lethal to the personnel of the dense formation.

When an eighteen-pound flowering bomb exploded, nearly 100 pieces of iron exploded in all directions, and creatures within a radius of one zhang were all within its killing range.

The Qing army was frightened, and they were retreating, retreating five miles away, all outside the limit of the range of the flowering projectile.

The warship is approaching.

To the consternation of all the seaside soldiers, it was not the naval fleet of Zhenguo Gong or Xingguo Gong.

On the black flag hung on the ship, there was a big word - gold.

Pirate?

Qian Qiaogong, Shen Zhiyuan, Jiang Quanyi, and Wang Yilin looked at each other.

Saved by pirates? This made Shen Zhiyuan have countless grassland beasts galloping past in his heart.

A small sampan slowly approached the sea.

A man in black who was by no means a military uniform of the Ming Army or the Northern Expeditionary Army shouted at the bow of the boat: "The governor of my family said, which of you is the leader, come up with one person, and the governor of my family has important matters to discuss!" ”

Shen Zhiyuan didn't give in, he picked up the hem of his clothes with one hand, waded away, and shouted: "I am the commander of the rebel army!" ”

Qian Qiaogong didn't even have time to stop it.

I had to shout: "Zhiyuan...... Be careful! ”

Immediately ordered, the whole army was put on alert, and scouts were sent to Xiyili to stand on guard.

……。

Jin Shenghuan came to help late, it was indeed two days late.

The time when he received the order was on the day when Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong acted without authorization.

Even a few hours earlier than Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong.

If he had sent his troops quickly, he would have appeared in the established waters two days ago, or at least yesterday.

But Jin Shenghuan was two days late.

This is not negligence, but intentionality.

Wu Zheng was in a hurry, so Zhang Mingzhen notified Jin Shenghuan to rescue, which was a good move.

But Wu Zheng ignores the role that the human heart plays in the complexity of the human heart.

Wu Zheng originally thought that the General's Mansion would not be able to accept this rebel army, so after saving this "rebel army", he would be temporarily incorporated into Jin Shenghuan's "pirates", which not only strengthened Jin Shenghuan's momentum, but also gave this "rebel army" a place to stay.

But Jin Shenghuan received Wu Zheng's order, but he didn't think so.

He had power and balance in mind.

Jin Shenghuan went from a "bucket of Su" thieves to Zuo Liangyu's army, and turned into a good man, but in his heart, he has a deep-rooted power struggle.

Especially after being "squeezed out" by Wu Zheng from the official army sequence and becoming a "pirate", Jin Shenghuan's first thought was whether Wu Zheng wanted to take away his military power.

You must know that an army of thousands of people, once under the command of Jin Shenghuan, is equivalent to taking the lead.

There are more than 2,000 people under Jin Shenghuan's subordinates, who will listen to whom then?

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Jin Shenghuan decided to delay it for two days.

A lone army, after two days, there should not be many people left.
