Perhaps, at this moment, Sheng Dengke, Xu Long, Xu Guolong and others still have a sense of awe for Mazu Niangniang in their hearts, lest killing in front of the Mazu Temple will anger this god known for his mercy. But more often than not, it is a consideration of interests. After all, they were not Du Yonghe, and they didn't know that Hong Xu's fleet was carrying a large amount of treasury silver in the Guangzhou Domain, in addition to these fleeing civilians......

Xu Guolong's Red Flag Pirates are still monitoring Zhou Rui's fleet, in terms of numbers, the Qing army has changed from an overwhelming advantage to a serious disadvantage, and the Red Flag Pirates, who have been weakened by Lin Cha and Chen Kai, do not dare to lightly brush the tiger whiskers of Zhou Rui, a madman, but the damage to Zhou Rui's fleet is really not light, and they have to cover Hong Xu's merchant fleet and the people waiting for transit on Nansha Island, but they can't break through Xu Guolong's blockade for a while, and chase Sheng Dengke and Xu Long's fleet.

The main force of the Qing army's fleet was tracing the river, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier on the side of Guangzhou City, and the fire on the south wall of the old city was gradually beginning to be contained, especially in those places where tung oil was not spilled. And the southern city wall was soon re-exposed to the sight of the Qing army.

"Siege!"

With Gao Jinku's order given, the angry Qing army carried the cloud ladder that had been prepared long ago, rushed through the rising smoke and water vapor, and rushed to the southern wall of the old city with a shout.

The south city wall is guarded by the left guard of Guangzhou, and the south gate in front of the high entrance warehouse is guarded by the hereditary official Yu Fengqi. At this moment, the guards here with him are all the Hui soldiers who moved to Guangzhou with his ancestors, their ancestors were stationed here for the national war, and they have been breeding for a hundred years, and in their generation, even if there is no Chen Kai, they will also choose to die here, not to mention that now Chen Kai has escorted their families away from here.

Attack and defense in the ladder climbed the city at the moment it broke out in the most fierce way, the defenders are all guards, less combat experience, but relying on the complete security equipment and that blood bravery, almost as soon as you see the Qing army climb the ladder, you will directly lift the rolling wood and stone and smash it down, as soon as you see the figure of the Qing army, you will draw the bow and shoot hard, as if the strength of the body is not exhausted.

The sound of artillery at the head of the city was not aimed at the Qing troops who were climbing near the city, but at the street under the double gate, where more Qing troops were gathering under the city.

The black cannonball crossed a drooping arc from the head of the city, and smashed straight into the bluestone slab of the street, the cannonball did not hit the Qing army, but the flying gravel still injured many Qing troops around it. It's a pity that the frequency of such artillery bombardment is too low, and the Qing army is pouring in a steady stream, because the number of Ming troops in the city is still at a disadvantage, and the experience is seriously insufficient. It didn't take long for the battle to move from up and down the walls to the top of the walls.

The shouts of killing on the southern city wall shook the sky, and as Xiandeng attracted too much attention from the Ming army, it became easier and easier for the Qing army to ascend the city. More Qing troops were still pouring into the city, and Yu Fengqi wielded the sword that had been handed down by his ancestors and drank the blood of traitors, slashing and killing every Qing army that appeared around him.

However, the difference between the combat experience of these guards and the Qing army was too great, and more and more of their subordinates fell on the city. When Yu Fengqi pierced the lower abdomen of a Qing army with a sword, he shouted and pushed it directly off the city wall, and when he turned his head again, there was no other Ming army on the city wall he was in charge of.

The Qing army of the brigade slowly surrounded him, he was the hereditary commander of the official, and he was the governor of the same knowledge, and the Qing army could see at a glance that he was a big official, and if he wanted to capture it alive and take it back, the credit would be greater.

Yu Fengqi supported his body with his sword, panting heavily, accompanied by the sound of pulling and pulling, as if he was about to pull out the air in his lungs.

The battle time is not long, but Rao is he has practiced martial arts for many years, but he has not experienced such a desperate fight, plus he has been thinking about it for a day and a night, and he has not closed his eyes for nearly twenty hours now, and at this point, he really has no strength.

Raising his head and looking into the distance, it seemed that most of Zhang Qixian's Han soldiers were still fighting bloody battles with the Qing army, but some of them seemed to have fallen on the land they had guarded for a hundred years. Looking at the Qing army beside him who were slowly surrounding him with blades, Yu Fengqi shouted: "I will do my best, and I will die to repay the country's kindness!" Then he held his sword in both hands and rushed towards the Qing officer who was facing him with the last of his strength.

"Kill the Tartars!"

The shouting stopped at the same time as the spear entered the belly. Yu Fengqi tried to take a step further, but was quickly slashed to the ground by more blades, and soon lost his life completely.

At the same time that Yu Fengqi was killed in battle, the Qing army was also seizing all the time to clear the last resistance of the Ming army on the southern city wall. Originally, they also planned to open the city gate step by step so that more Qing troops could enter it, but they soon gave up this idea, because Chen Kai had blocked the city gate with all kinds of debris, and it couldn't be cleaned up at all for a while.

Chen Kai's deployment directly led to a significant slowdown in the pace of the Qing army's offensive. However, long before the heavy rain completely extinguished the fire, he was already facing an even greater crisis.

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

"Joining the army is a heavy responsibility, and you must not do this."

"I am well versed in water, and I am willing to replace him with my own life!"

Lin Dezhong and Cai Qiao stepped forward one after another, they knew very well how dangerous what Chen Kai was going to do. The shouts of tin horns rang out, and the soldiers and civilians in a large area near the left all looked sideways, watching in amazement as the civil official who had done his best to organize them to escape from this place of death was "going crazy" there.

In an instant, Lin Dezhong and Cai Qiao had already knelt down and begged Chen Kai to take back his life, and the former hugged Chen Kai's thigh, allowing Chen Kai to kick and beat, and refused to let him take the step of boarding the boat. But after this moment, a large number of Ming troops and the people of Guangzhou in the surrounding area gathered and joined the ranks of blocking Chen Kai.

"Governor Chen has done enough for us Guangzhouers, and the brothers of Chaozhou have also done enough for us Guangzhouers, and now it's our turn to work hard for Guangzhouers. Come on, folks, follow me Feng San on the boat, let's fight with the Tartars! ”

"Third Brother Feng is right, if people want to be saved, they must first try to save themselves, and it is time for us to fight with the Tartars."

"The prefect, the villain doesn't know how to water, but he also has to fight to the death with the Tartars!"

“……”

More and more voices sounded, and the people of Guangzhou City, old and young, gathered over, rolled up their sleeves and rushed to board the small boats carrying gunpowder kegs. In the meantime, a woman was unwilling to be left behind, but grabbed in front of several men and jumped into a small boat.

"Women, don't make trouble, the men in Guangzhou are not dead yet, it's not your turn to fight!"

As he spoke, a man of five years and three coarse men reached out to drag the woman off the boat. Unexpectedly, the woman's waist twisted, and with a backhand, she pushed the man into the water.

The man fluttered twice in the shallow water, and even a burst of scolding. The woman was not in a hurry, but picked up a bamboo pole and stretched it out to the man, as a saving gesture, but asked him if he dared to look down on the woman, which caused everyone present to laugh. This time, not only did the tragic atmosphere be completely destroyed, but even Chen Kai inevitably looked at it.

In the laughter, Chen Kai took a closer look, and the woman's appearance was not bad, but her skin was dark, as if there was a layer of rusty color floating on the skin, obviously begging for a living on the water all day long. Especially the spicy temperament, I really don't let the eyebrows be shaved.

Seeing that Chen Kai's attention had shifted, the woman ignored the man, saluted Chen Kai, and then said: "Tell the lord of the mansion that the slave family is a widow, and the husband and brother followed Zhang Hanlin to raise troops back then, but they were suppressed by the captive master and died in the battle. ”

"The slave family is a woman's family, and she doesn't know how to read, but she also knows the revenge of killing her husband and brother, and she doesn't share the sky. Originally, I heard that the prefect was still trading with those guys anyway, so I didn't like it very much. But after watching it in the past two days, I realized that the prefect had really come to rescue us and other people in Guangzhou. This time, the slave family gave up their lives here, and they also wanted to avenge their husband and brother, and they also wanted to repay the prefect's life-saving grace! ”
