"Quick! Withdraw it! ”

At this time, it was too late for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the smoke and fire began to rage in the alleys abandoned by the Ming army, and a large number of Qing troops were shrouded in the sea of fire, mixed in the air, and Gao Jinku could even smell that there seemed to be a lot of tung oil burning.

Fooled! This was the first thought that popped into Gao Jinku's mind, but he quickly saw the situation clearly, and after thinking about it, he agreed even more that this was Chen Kai's backup method, used just in case. And now, due to the courageous resistance of Li Jianjie's subordinates, the Qing army had to invest more troops, which became the best means of killing.

The fire is still spreading, but there is no wind in Guangzhou today, and it is more confined to the lit alleys. However, a large number of Qing troops were still trapped in it, so he had to send soldiers and horses to try to rescue them, but he didn't care about directly attacking the city gate from under the double gates.

After a while, a Qing army covered in fire rushed out from a door along the street, running wildly, screaming, and wailing on the street under the double gates, like a fiery spirit dancing wildly on the stage, until he completely exhausted his strength before falling to the ground, and from time to time there was a sound of grease burning.

There are not too many scenes like this on the street under the double gates, but Gao Jinku knows very well that such a fire is just going on in those alleys and alleys all the time.

These Qing troops are all old soldiers he brought from Southern Jiangxi!

The rescue continued, and the Qing army tried its best to push to the wall of the fang, breaking an escape route for the Qing troops in the fang. At the same time, Gao Jinku's line of sight passed through the street under the double gate, and the people crowded forward at the south gate became fewer and fewer, and in the end, even the Ming army retreated into the new city under the cover of the fire.

Next, the south gate closed with a bang, and Chen Kai began to organize the people to throw everything they could see at the door, vowing to completely block the city gate.

Li Jianjie's troops had already begun to advance towards the docks, and Chen Kai said that he had prepared a camp in Xin'an County, where there were a large number of Langzhong and medicinal herbs that could treat the wounded of Li Jianjie's department, but Li Jianjie politely refused. There was no way, Chen Kai simply sent someone to copy a few empty pharmacies along the street, whether it was useful or not, and directly gave the medicinal materials to Li Jianjie.

"Governor Chen is a friend worth making, our brothers have written it down. After this time, if there is a chance, let's fight with the Tartars again. ”

"A word is a certainty, I hope that at that time, the lower officials can fight side by side with the uncle and regain the old land of our Han family from the hands of the Tartars."

For Zhang Yue, Li Yuantai, and Li Jianjie, Chen Kai has always carried out the united front under the banner of doing business. For this reason, he would rather give up his plan to invite Du Yonghe to eat wonton noodles, and let go in time after just slaughtering a knife. Now it seems that the results have reached the expected level.

After more than an hour of hard fighting, the people gathered at the city gate completed their evacuation. The losses were minimized, and the Qing army was given a certain degree of casualties, which was the biggest gain.

Li Jianjie's troops have retreated, and Chen Kai has also received the news that Zhang Yue and Li Yuantai's troops have also retreated into the new city, and the Guide Gate, the Wenming Gate and even the small South Gate that has not yet been attacked by the Qing army, the tung oil that has been prepared has been ignited, and the raging fire will continue to defend the people who retreated into the new city as a new batch of guardians.

Ships, Chen Kai is ready, more than a hundred merchant ships capable of carrying about a hundred people, are waiting for their new owners at a special dock.

The people retreated into the new city, and with the protection of the city walls, they could delay for more time. In this case, Chen Kai doesn't need to stare at it here, the dock needs his presence even more.

"Yu Shuai, I'll leave it to you here."

"Governor Chen, please rest assured."

Yu Fengqi bowed, Chen Kai nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, then turned his head again, and said to him: "The people have retreated to the wall of the new city, I will send a signal, such a large city wall, with less than a thousand soldiers on the left guard, can not hold for long, retreat there and hold on with the right guard, and it can hold on for a little longer." ”

"Hmm." Yu Fengqi nodded heavily, and then replied: "Please rest assured that Governor Chen, we will hold on to the last soldier!" ”

Chen Kai had no way of estimating how long the fire would last, but if the fire could last long enough, he still hoped that Zuo Wei would be able to retreat and have a chance to escape.

Thinking about it, Yu Fengqi could also understand Chen Kai's intentions, and in this case, he also sent Cai Qiao to talk to Zhang Qixian, who was in charge of Guidemen. And he hurried to the dock as fast as he could, leaving Lin Dezhong with the guards brought from the Ordnance Bureau and the barrels of gunpowder and tung oil brought with the ship to prepare for the worst in Xincheng.

In addition to the small east gate and Taiping gate in the east and west directions, there are still six city gates, including Yongxing Gate, Yongqing Gate, Wuxian Gate, Jinghe Gate, Oil Fence Gate and Bamboo Fence Gate, and the speed of evacuating the people is much faster than the four gates of the southern city wall of the old city.

Chen Kai sat on the city wall on the hanging basket, and Ma Chengzu, the hereditary commander of the right guard of Guangzhou who was in charge of here, gave a few words, and hurriedly went down the city and ran to the dock.

When Chen Kai arrived at the dock, Li Jianjie's troops had already completed boarding, and watched the fleet sail away, Chen Kai turned his head to look at Zhang Yue and Li Yuantai's troops, and they were also seizing the time to board the ship, maybe it won't be long before they would also leave this dead place.

"Governor Chen, why did you let Marquis Zhang and them go, with their assistance to the left and right guards, they can hold on for a little longer."

Ding Youyi's family had already boarded the boat and left, but he stayed here and continued to help maintain order as a warden. When these words were asked, Chen Kai shook his head, saying that they had no will to fight, and they wanted to escape with satisfaction, rather than staying and ruining the morale of the left and right guards, it was better to let them leave quickly, not only did not need to consider that they would occupy the river, but also repaid them for sticking to the time they came in the old city lane.

They were also defenders of Guangzhou, but the treatment was completely different. Maybe it's not fair, but is there really a moment of fairness in this world? At least for Chen Kai, everything he has done to rescue the people who are being slaughtered in Guangzhou so that they can have a chance to live, this is the greatest fairness. But they don't care about that much.

People continue to flock to the wharf, where small boats transport them to Henan Island, where they are then transported by large boats to the Mazu Temple in Nansha. Strive to get the people out of the surrounding area of Guangzhou City as soon as possible, so that they will have a better chance of survival.

Chen Kai estimated the time, and the slaughter of the Qing army in the city had probably lasted for two or three hours. Perhaps, the Guangzhou avant-garde, the Guangzhou guard, Guo Yao, Yu Shuzhi's generals have all been martyred, and even the Guangzhou prefect and the prefects of Nanhai and Panyu counties have also been self-executed in their respective government offices.

Chen Kai respected their duty and integrity as magistrates, but their family members, he repeatedly ordered that they would never be martyred. but they will save their lives, avenging their sons, their brothers, their husbands, and their fathers.

Time was still going on, and the fire outside the southern city wall was still intensifying. Time, it seems to have been on Chen Kai's side, on the side of the people of Guangzhou, but this idea did not last too long, near noon, nearly half of the people have already landed on Henan Island, a fast whistle from downstream, but brought a bad news that Chen Kai fell into the ice cellar.

"Tell me to join the army, the Tartar Naval Division has been dispatched, Xu Long, Xu Guolong, and Sheng Dengke have no less than two hundred large and small warships sailing from the Dongjiang River into the Pearl River, Wu Wenwen and Yin Zhirong Naval Divisions fled in a hurry, and now only Marquis Zhou is still fighting hard!"
