Foshan, when later generations mentioned this, most of the first picture reflected in their minds was Foshan without a shadow. However, in the Ming Dynasty, Foshan was an important town in Guangdong, and the Zhongyi Township of the Imperial Seal was administratively subordinate to Nanhai County, but it was the highest-level town outside the city of Nanhai County, which was the same city of the prefecture and county.

Although there are no iron ore resources here, it is the most important steel smelting and production base in Guangdong. In the fourth year of Yongli, when Chen Kai rescued Guangzhou, he had the idea of going to Foshan to transport the local blacksmiths away, but the shipping capacity at that time, only those people in Guangzhou were transported away in two batches, and it was very unwise for the Ming army to venture ashore to compete with the Qing army. In this way, this thought is only fleeting in my mind.

After four years, and then here, the balance of power between the Ming and Qing dynasties on the ground in Guangdong has undergone earth-shaking changes. At this moment, the Qing army confined to the pontoon bridge and both sides of the pontoon bridge was only about 3,000 people, but it was surrounded by nearly 10,000 Ming troops, and it was impossible to advance or retreat.

"Shang Kexi, now you should understand why I have blocked the Pearl River Estuary in the past few years and bled your sailor over and over again!"

The tin horn spread the sound to the ears of the Qing army near the left side of the pontoon, and the arrogance and mockery could be heard even by a child. But in Shang Kexi's ears, he suddenly realized that in fact, in terms of the Ming army's naval division controlling the Pearl River Estuary, he had always been superficial, and he was more concerned about the defense of the prefectures and counties along the way and the blocking of sea trade, but ignored that once the Qing army was weak, the Ming army could appear anywhere with the criss-crossing water network of the Pearl River Delta.

In retrospect, from the imminent defeat, Shang Kexi planned the escape route, both to ensure safety and speed, so that they could quickly return to the surrounding area of Guangzhou. However, when he is about to return to Guangzhou, he will have to cross the Pearl River system. Henan Island has been controlled by the Ming army, and downstream because the river is too wide to erect pontoon bridges, so the best place to cross the river is naturally in this Foshan - from here to cross the river can not only quickly return to Guangzhou, but also get the necessary supplies, along with the blacksmiths of Foshan are brought back to Guangzhou or directly killed, so as not to invest in the enemy, can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Now it seems that these Chen Kai have obviously foreseen it, and with the convenience of water transportation, the troops that are enough to intercept him have moved here, waiting for work!

The Ming troops of the brigade poured out of Foshan with neat steps, as if they were spreading their arms towards these pontoon bridges. Bright clothes, full of spirit, high morale, especially when looking at him and these beggars under his command who are like lost dogs, and who have escaped from Xiangshan and Shunde counties with strong walls and clear fields, it is as if they are looking at the silver that can walk in one place, naked and not hiding at all.

After thousands of calculations, in the end, it still fell into the net woven by Chen Kai. In the final analysis, it is still because the gap in strength between the two sides is too large. However, if it weren't for the preparation of the previous few years, as well as the implementation of several years of strategies and policies, and then catch up with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of Li Dingguo sweeping western Guangdong, and work hard to add opportunities, at this moment, it is already time, geography, people, all three, in the words of those red-haired ghosts, the goddess of victory has already smiled at Chen Kai.

"Okay, good, good, Chen Kai, I really have you. This king is indeed defeated, defeated in your hands, and this king is convinced. But you have to remember that there are still hundreds of thousands of Eight Banner Army and millions of Green Battalions in the imperial court, and you may not be able to have the last laugh if you gain momentum today, it is nothing more than a little later than this king! ”

"That's my business, so I don't have to worry about it. As for the Tartars trying to kill me, they have to have good teeth. ”

The Ming army quickly deployed, and at great speed, the Qing army on this side of the pontoon bridge was blocked for a flood. Deliberately set up an ambush here, once the Ming army appeared, there was no possibility for the Qing army to break through.

Sneering and staring at the long-time opponent in front of him, Rao is relying on his understanding of history and the strong strength of the Zheng Group, in a few years, he only forced Shang Kexi to be confined to the land of Guangdong, and it was difficult to make any further trip. However, Li Dingguo's battle of Xinhui is the best opportunity, and it has accumulated for a long time, and at this moment, it is time to give it all out, and this is the time to harvest.

"Press it up, except for Shang Kexi, no one will be left!"

With an order, the Ming army pressed on the Qing army in the middle of the crossing. Encountering a half-crossing attack, this was an extremely dangerous situation in the art of war, and the Qing army, which was already at a serious disadvantage, fell into a dead place of advance and retreat.

The Ming army gathered four towns of soldiers in the north, and there were only more than 1,000 cavalry on the southern front, observing from both sides, a large number of Qing troops who had crossed the pontoon bridge were busy running to the pontoon bridge, trying to escape from the other side, and those who were already on the bridge wanted to cross the bridge, escape from the crack of the Ming army or the river beach that was not controlled, some wanted to fight to the death with the Ming army, and some had to turn around and flee back, and many simply stood there dumbfounded, having lost the ability to judge, It's just that such a group of Qing troops with their own ghosts were crowded on those narrow pontoon bridges, and before the Ming army could start killing, it was already a mess.

At this time, what Pingnan Wangye and what Gushan Ezhen are not as important as their own little lives. The Qing army was fighting for me on the bridge, all thinking about living or dying according to their own methods, pushing and shouting, and the Qing army continued to fall into the Tanzhou waterway, setting off one splash after another in the turbulent water.

The Ming army was still advancing step by step, on the north bank, the Ming army forced the Qing army to the bank of the river, and the battle broke out in an instant, but in the face of the strong strength of the Ming army, it was just a stone thrown into the pond, which caused a splash, but it quickly returned to calm. On the south bank, there were constantly Qing troops riding horses to flee in other directions, while the Ming army was constantly separating cavalry, as if hunting, tailing, because they knew very well that compared to the Ming army's war horses that had sufficient forage along the way and even had food to eat, the Qing army's war horses could not run far, it was nothing more than appreciating the dying struggle of the Qing army after the horsepower was exhausted.

Outside the pontoon, it's already like this. On the pontoon bridge, in order to fight for the chance to survive, the Qing army took the lead in fighting on the bridge. At this point, the awe of the Manmeng Eight Banners is just bullshit, and the feudal soldiers are not at all soft at all when they kill the Eight Banners Army than the Eight Banners Army when they kill the feudal soldiers.

The chaos is no longer something that Shang Kexi and Jumala can stop, and even from the beginning, Shang Kexi has no intention of stopping this chaos.

The Qing army on the bridge was in a mess, during which there were more arrows from the Ming army, Jumala ran to the south bank with a group of Goshha, but Shang Kexi was still in the middle of the bridge, and calmly unloaded his armor and weapons under the escort of a group of cronies and feudal soldiers. Immediately afterwards, in full view of everyone, the powerful prince of Pingnan jumped into the turbulence of the Tanzhou waterway without the help of others, and saw that many Ming troops who were ready to capture this fang alive to make great achievements were dumbfounded.

Such a choice is unimaginable to any normal person, but Shang Kexi not only did it, but after jumping into the water, he quickly jumped out again, looking at the direction of the downstream and swimming decently.

"I almost forgot, this guy was also a famous sailor when he was in Dongjiang Town, and there was swimming in the skill column."

Always keeping an eye on Shang Kexi's movements, and seeing his people take off their clothes and armor and jump into the water, Chen Kaidang couldn't cry or laugh even - the cruel words just now were just used to numb him, and this prince of Pingnan had already thought of a way to get out of it in line with the principle of never giving up his life easily. At this time, it seemed that they had been reminded by the prince who was in danger, and many old feudal soldiers on the bridge seemed to remember what they had done as a sailor back then, and one by one they took off their clothes and armor, jumped into the water, and swam downstream with a splash.

In this way, it makes those Mongolian Eight Banners angry - Mongolians take three baths in their lives and are natural landlubbers; As for the Manchurian Eight Banners, in Liaodong, Houjin had already played the means of forbidding the sea in order to curb the infiltration of the Dongjiang Army, and there may be a very small number of swimmers, but in so many Manchurian Eight Banners, it is just a rarity.

It's just that the Ming army's step-by-step advance, the shining edge of the spear, and the arrows that keep shooting, not only landlubbers of any flag, as long as they want to live, there are many people who jump directly into the water. There were even a lot of them who didn't even take off their armor, and they jumped down and never saw a flutter coming up.

"What a waste!"

A mouthful of sticky phlegm spit on the ground, Chen Kai didn't know what to say for a while, just sneered there. Immediately afterwards, Chen Kai summoned the herald and gave two orders, only to see the herald lead the order, Chen Kai continued to enjoy this synchronized diving competition, and at the same time secretly felt distressed for the armor and weapons that fell into the water.

On the south bank, the hunt of the Ming army was still in progress, Li Jianjie and Wang Qifeng seemed to be addicted to playing, and did not completely close the mouth, allowing the Qing army to ride a war horse to escape, and then followed behind, watching the war horse fall to the ground, and the Qing army fell to the ground heavily, breaking a bone and tendon. On the north bank, the Ming army had killed all the Qing troops on the shore who tried to resist, and approached the mouth of the pontoon bridge, Chen Kai thought about it, and then just nodded, and the Ming army's knife and axe hand stepped forward and directly cut the rope of the pontoon bridge to help the Qing army who was hesitant and failed to escape to the south bank to learn to swim.

As soon as the rope was broken, the Qing troops on the pontoon bridge fell into the water like dumplings, and immediately the river surface seemed to be boiling. In the end, there are basically half-meter-deep pools that can drown them. However, this time he fell into the water, and one by one he fluttered desperately in the water, trying to grab the last life-saving straw and pull, to press the Qing army that could be reached by him into the water, just to be able to take a breath.

The boiling dumpling soup gradually returned to calm in the process of going down the river, and the Ming army was stationed here for two hours, cutting off the heads of the Qing soldiers who swam ashore or whose corpses floated to the shore, and packed the clothes, weapons, and silver money on their bodies, and returned to the camp according to the plan, waiting for the ship to board tomorrow.

About 3,000 Qing troops basically died in that area, and Zhu Mala and his group of Goshha were chased by Li Jianjie as rabbits for a while, and then rushed up and killed them all. Floating to the bank of the river and picking up the corpse, he found Ban Zhifu, the chief soldier of the right wing of the Pingnan Domain, it seems that this person has forgotten his roots and returned all the skills of the dry water division to the master. As for Shang Kexi, a winter swimmer from my Daqing Dynasty, he was also brought back by the rangers sent downstream by Chen Kai at nightfall.

The two Ming soldiers with big shoulders and round waists pulled one arm, and after entering Chen Kai's Chinese army tent in Foshan, they directly threw Shang Kexi on the ground.

Chen Kai stood up, walked to Shang Kexi's side and squatted down, as far as he could see, Shang Kexi seemed to have completely lost his strength, and he didn't even bother to open his eyelids, if it weren't for the heavy breathing sound that could accompany him, he was afraid that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a dead man.

Coming up, Chen Kai patted Shang Kexi's face that was a little swollen by the river water, and he always felt as if his hands were wet. Immediately afterwards, he joked at him: "Prince Pingnan, why do you say this, practice swimming more early, burn your calories, become a heartthrob, don't waste your identity as a banner man of the Han Army." When the time comes, when you enter the palace and play palace fighting, you will rely on your IQ to play Da Yu'er to death and Concubine Dong E to death in minutes, and you will be the only one to win the holy favor, and you will be able to fight to the death with me in Guangdong? ”

At this moment, Chen Kai's face was full of hatred for iron and steel, and then he thought about it, it seems that Thailand is still in the period of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and even the Thonburi Emperor Zheng Xin has not yet appeared, and it seems that he is too backward. Immediately, he waved his hand as if he had abandoned his shoes, and the Ming army tied up Shang Kexi and took care of him until he deserved to die. And during this period, Shang Kexi was only breathing heavily from beginning to end, and he didn't even lift his eyelids, it seems that his skills have not been used for many years and have been completely abandoned.

"Fu Jun, how can you be sure that you will be able to capture this dog thief?"

The staff around him asked if he really had such a question, or was he going to make a fuss, Chen Kai didn't care, and then replied casually, and Quan Zuo answered.

"Even if he can stay awake in the water for three days and three nights, eating raw fish, shrimp and crabs, he will still have to go ashore. I sent cavalry to follow secretly on the shore, and as soon as I got ashore, I would be caught. ”

"Well, what if the dog thief drowned in the water?"

After glancing back, he made sure that he was not a sycophant, and Chen Kai didn't think about it, so he said directly: "Shang Kexi didn't plan to drown himself, so he felt that it was almost over, and he would try to swim to the shore." But you reminded the official that the next time you meet such a strong swimmer, you should send a boat to follow, so as not to really drown, and even the corpse can't be found, which is really a loss. ”

The Ming army was stationed in Foshan overnight, and the next day, the army went down the river on the ships that came, and then joined up another part of the army that was already waiting at the Tianfei Temple in Nansha, and turned around and went upstream, heading straight for Guangzhou.

By this time, many days had passed since the first battle in Jiangmen, and by the time Chen Kai and Li Dingguo, who had gone north on foot, reconnected and the two armies began to encircle the city of Guangzhou, it was already the twenty-ninth day of the eighth year of the Yongli calendar, and tomorrow as soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed, it would be a new year.

"Before the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve, the city of Guangzhou was stormed. This matter must not be postponed until next year! ”
