Sheng Dengke, Shang Kexi's Chinese army, is responsible for building ships and temporarily managing the water camp; Xu Guolong, the chief soldier of the Navy, the head of the Red Flag pirates after Liang Biaoxiang was killed by Lin Cha and Chen Kai; Xu Long, a Chaozhou Tukou, was awarded the chief soldier of the Chaozhou Naval Division by the Qing Dynasty.

At first glance, both Sheng Dengke and Xu Guolong are taller than Xu Long. However, what really gave Chen Kai such a huge shock was still the leader of the bandits who had fought against the Ming army since he was in Chaozhou, not Sheng Dengke, Xu Guolong and the like.

Originally, I got the news that Xu Long was sent to the coast of Huizhou after Shang Kexi went south to cooperate with Su Li to attack Chaozhou, but Chen Kai traveled back and forth between Guangzhou and Chaozhou several times, but he never encountered anyone, and the Ming army in Chaozhou did not encounter him, and even Lin Cha did not find any trace of Xu Long, so that he once forgot about this guy.

But now, he suddenly realized that Liang Biaoxiang's death triggered a new chain reaction, that is, the strength of the Qing army's naval division on the water surface of the Pearl River was greatly weakened, so it is likely that it was because of this that Xu Long disappeared from the coast of Huizhou, appeared in the boundary of Guangzhou, and suddenly appeared under his nose at this critical juncture!

The three Qing army sailors, together there are only more than 200 large and small warships, and in terms of overall strength, it can be said that they are not even worthy of shining Chen Kai's shoes. But the problem is that at this moment, all the fleets brought by Chen Kai are busy transporting the people of Guangzhou, Lin Cha, Hong Xu, and even Zhou Rui's fleet is also full of people, and at this moment, Wu Wenwen and Yin Zhirong, the two Guangzhou naval divisions sent by him to the mouth of the Dongjiang River to intercept the Qing army, have fled, leaving Zhou Rui's hundreds of warships full of civilians still fighting with the Qing army's naval divisions.

This means that, most likely, the next news he received was that Zhou Rui's entire army was annihilated, and the Qing army's naval division went upstream, blocking him and the people of Guangzhou at the Guangzhou wharf and Henan Island!

"Seize all the time and transport the people on the dock to Henan Island. Tell the people on the island that if they can escape on their own, they should flee on their own first, and the sailor may not be able to take care of them for the time being. ”

After saying this, Chen Kai's brows tightened. He calculated everything and took all the situations into account, but he still left out these remnants of the defeated army. Now, Shang Kexi has put all these pieces together, and instead formed a force that is enough to overturn all his efforts to the ground.

When the order was sent to Henan Island, even if it caused a burst of exclamations among the people, and then the order that was so easy to maintain became difficult to control, groups of people began to rush to the other side of Henan Island with all their might, trying to cross the Pearl River from there.

The situation has begun to get out of control, but fortunately, at least the dock is still boarding and leaving in order, and the panicked people on Henan Island are under the watchful eye of the Ming army, and they do not dare to choose the target on these small boats between the dock and the island.

Chen Kai calmed down and tried to regain his former composure, but with a drop of cold on the back of his hand, Chen Kai was stunned at first, and even if he took a few steps back, he could barely hold his body. But the shock in his heart still made him stand directly on the spot.

"Kill eighteen people, fill the corpse six veins. It's raining, God, can't this rain not fall?! (Note)

In Nansha, the fleet of Mazu Temple under the banner of the Zheng family went down the river and docked at various wharves near the left, putting boatloads of people here for the time being. On the river, the ships of the Qing army and the naval divisions under the banners of Sheng Dengke, Xu Long and Red Flag Pirates were like wolves, surrounding the Ming ships and ships were constantly shelled, and even jumping Bang was already disdainful of doing it.

The fleet of the Ming army Min'an Hou Zhou Rui is still resisting to the death, which inevitably divides the vast majority of the energy of the Qing army's naval division, but Zhou Rui's fleet is also full of people, and the draft and speed are inevitably affected.

Zhou Rui's ship is a shipwreck built in Chaozhou after serving Zheng Chenggong. In terms of size, artillery positions, and troops, against the large and small ships of the Shangqing Army's naval division, they don't even need to open their guns, and the sailors can't take the risk of jumping, as long as they hit each other headlong, it's enough to knock those little guys apart. However, the ship was full of civilians, and the speed was really at a loss, so Zhou Rui had to command the fleet to go back and forth on the river, bombarding any Qing warship that entered the firing range with artillery, but the damage was really minimal.

Hong Xu still has some armed merchant ships in his hands, but the problem is that now the Qing army has blocked their fleet in this water, and even the wharf has been blocked by many Guangzhou merchant ships and fishing boats that arrived later.

Seeing this, Zhou Rui only hesitated slightly, and then issued an unimaginable order. Next, the Ming warships of Zhou Rui's department arranged in a single column lowered anchor one after another, and pulled up the sails, lost the wind power, and fixed with the sediment at the bottom of the water, and the battleships soon stopped in the waves.

"Zhou Rui is crazy, isn't this a target?"

Hong Xu on the Nansha wharf couldn't believe it, and the Qing army sailors such as Xu Long, Xu Guolong, and Sheng Dengke in the distance couldn't imagine what was happening in front of them at this moment. But in the next moment, Xu Long was the first to realize Zhou Rui's intention, he wanted to use his fleet to block the way for the Qing army to rush directly to the Mazu Temple transit station on Nansha Island, and at the same time as a target, to block the shells of the Qing army for Hong Xu's fleet behind him, and buy time for him to dispatch the ships on the dock.

"Put the boat down, let the people who can't water get on the boat, and the strong men and women who know how to water will stay for Lao Tzu."

After that, Zhou Rui drew his sword in his hand, stepped on the boat gang, and shouted angrily at the Qing army sailor in the distance: "Lao Tzu is Zhou Rui, Marquis of Min'an, today, let's fight to the death with those dog Tartars here!" ”

………………

At the same time, on the wharf outside Guangzhou, the winter rain began to drip and become heavier and heavier. It seems that even the fire behind the two walls has begun to gradually lose its strength.

"Join the army, do you want to remind Yu Shuai and Zhang Shuai again?"

"No, they will defend the walls to the death until the last soldier, I can trust them."

Chen Kai rubbed his face a few times, then raised his head, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and the anger in his eyes seemed to have steamed up the rain around him

Next, Chen Kai chose the wharf used by Zhang Yue and Li Jianjie not long ago, mobilized a group of small boats to come over, and transferred back the barrels of gunpowder and tung oil that were originally handed over to Lin Dezhong, covered them with oilcloth or oiled paper, and loaded them directly on the boat.

"Now, I, Chen Kai, need a group of volunteers who know how to water to accompany me to die!"

Note: Huang Foyi's "Guangzhou City Fang Chronicles" quotes the record of Fang Hengtai's "Oak Ping Poems" of the Qing Dynasty: "Forty miles before and after the city, all the slaughter was carried out, and more than 600,000 people died. Legend has it that the people in the city are about six or seven thousand people in the Liumai Canal, suitable for the rain, drowning a few times, only two people remain, and one of Liu Zhongshan at the bottom of the double door. ”
