Ambush! The Gan Hui tribe that attacked the government was defeated, and the streets were full of fleeing Xiangyang soldiers, who were chased and killed by the tyrants.

And Zhou Rui's department that attacked the city wall was not much better, Zhou Rui led his troops to occupy the city wall of the West Gate, and when he divided his troops to attack the north and south cities, he was violently counterattacked by the rioters. The rioters directly put more than a dozen tiger squat cannons on the city wall, and the muzzles of the cannons were facing the city wall, and they opened heavy fire on the attacking Xiangyang soldiers.

It was just a round of artillery bombardment, and the Xiangyang soldiers who attacked the north and south city gates were stunned, and the dense formation and narrow space on the city wall made them unable to hide.

After the cannon sounded, the gunners of the rioters began to appear in a queue, and the projectiles fired were as dense as raindrops.

The riot soldiers are equipped with so many firearms, which is completely beyond the thinking of the Xiangyang soldiers, if it is a frontal array hand-to-hand combat, the combat power of the Xiangyang soldiers does not belong to the rioters, but when they are suddenly attacked on a specific occasion, the combat power of the Xiangyang soldiers is amazing and they are also beaten all at once. The soldiers attacking in front were shot and fell, and those behind were already frightened.

The narrow city wall road is impossible to divide the troops and attack by detour, so you can only fight hard. And in the face of the powerful firepower of the rioters, no soldier was willing to charge in the rain of bullets.

So, in the fierce fire of the rioters, Zhou Ruibu, who was besieging the city, was beaten and retreated.

The army that attacked the city was defeated, and Zhou Ruibu, who attacked in the city, was defeated and retreated, and Zheng Sen didn't know that something was wrong.

However, there were more than 20,000 Xiangyang soldiers entering the city, and it was impossible for so many people to retreat all at once. Although Zheng Sen tried to salvage the defeat, he assigned his men to resist one after another. However, the number of rioters in the city was far beyond his imagination, not more than 10,000 at all, I am afraid that there were as many as 340,000!

The Xiangyang soldiers who entered the city were besieged from several sides, and the fierce soldiers poured out of the streets, alleys, and even the houses of the residents seemed to be endless. Almost in a short period of time, the resistance of the Xiangyang military formation collapsed, and all that remained was to flee wildly.

fell into an ambush and a trap, and all the Xiangyang soldiers who entered the city understood this reality, and their morale inevitably plummeted. Now that they are in an ambush, the first choice is, of course, to escape from the trap, no one thinks that they can still take Jiujiang City, so no one is willing to resist violently.

Listening to the shouts of killing all over the city, and watching his subordinates fleeing in embarrassment, even a senior general like Chen Hui knew that the general trend had gone.

"The surname of the country, quickly withdraw from the city, the end will be cut off for you!" Chen Hui and one of his men finally reached Ximen with great difficulty, and shouted at Zheng Sen, who was still trying to organize resistance.

Zheng Sen gritted his teeth, his young face showed determination, he naturally understood that something was wrong, this kind of moment was of course to withdraw from the city to preserve his strength. However, if he escapes from the city like this, he does not know how many of his subordinates will be folded in the city, and as the commander-in-chief, he must hold the west gate and guard a way out of the city for his subordinates.

From time to time, the retreating Xiangyang soldiers escaped from the city, crossed the side of Zheng Sen with a hundred and ten personal guards, glanced at his country surname with gratitude, and fled towards the outside of the city without stopping.

The sound of firecrackers was getting closer and closer, and the chasing rioters finally appeared outside a street, and when he saw a large number of routs being shot by the rioters, Chen Hui knew that he could no longer rely on Zheng Sen's temperament.

"Protect the country's surname and go out of the city!" Chen Hui shouted, Zheng Sen's guards glanced at each other, put away their weapons in unison, and hugged Zheng Sen and retreated out of the city. Although Zheng Sen was unwilling, he also knew that he was powerless to return to the sky in this situation, so he could only withdraw from the city gate silently.

However, the nightmare was not over, a riot suddenly appeared from the south of the city, rushed diagonally into the rout queue and cut the fleeing Xiangyang soldiers into two sections. The speed of the mob's pursuit was so fast that in the blink of an eye, they had already caught up with the retreating Xiangyang soldiers, and Zheng Sen's personal guard officers took the remaining hundred and ten personal guards to turn around and block the attack, so that the pursuers could be blocked.

At the critical moment, Zhou Rui led hundreds of soldiers to withdraw from the west gate in time, so as to intercept this riot army and rescue Zheng Sen, who was almost besieged by the rioters.

Riots poured out from the gate of Jiujiang City, Zheng Sen knew that there was no room for recovery, and without looking back, he rushed towards the riverbank wharf.

"The surname of the country!" Suddenly, Chen Hui, who was guarding Zheng Sen's side, pointed to the river and let out a desperate shout. Zheng Sen looked up, and saw that on the wide river, a fleet of ships appeared from the east side of the river, and was rushing up the river towards Jiujiang, before the boat arrived, the sound of cannons had arrived, and the projectiles fell on the river near the wharf, splashing large splashes, and the warships moored at the wharf trembled in the sound of cannons.

At this moment, Zheng Sen only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and a strong sense of despair surged into his heart. In order to conquer Jiujiang, he sent almost all the troops, and only more than a thousand soldiers guarded the ships, and most of the ships anchored in the river and became the target of attack!

At this time, Zheng Sen was still two or three miles away from the dock, and the riot fleet in the river was already close to the dock, and it would soon rush into his own fleet!

It's too late! It's too late!

It is impossible to escape back by boat with the rout!

"Country's surname, let's go from the shore!" Chen Hui immediately made a decision and led people to escort Zheng Sen to flee upstream along the riverbank.

The rioters were chasing behind him, and from time to time, his officers and a few soldiers went to stop them, all of whom were cronies of the Zheng family who were by Zheng Sen's side. The number of guards following him became smaller and smaller, and the pursuing riot army was finally left far behind, and the sound of fighting became farther and farther away.

Zheng Sen, who was still breathing, finally stopped, looked around, and there were only more than 20 guards who were still with him at this time, and only Chen Hui was still there, and even Zhou Rui was gone.

Standing on a rock and looking back, you can see the pier in the distance blazing with thick smoke, which is your own ship burned by the rioters!

He led an army of 30,000 to go down the river in high spirits, counting on the First World War to take Jiujiang to open the way for the army to go downstream, and then make immortal achievements on the battlefield in Jiangdong to restore the reputation of the Zheng family. Who knew it was all in vain! At this moment, Zheng Sen was devastated!

"Guo surnamed Ye, what should we do next?" Chen Hui, who was beside him, asked softly.

"Send someone to continue up the riverbank, report to the Overseer, and ask him to be careful!" After a short period of discouragement, Zheng Sen quickly adjusted his emotions, "The 30,000 army has been overturned, and I have no shame to return to meet the supervisor, so let's sneak back to our hometown in Fujian, where is our battlefield!" ”

Returning to your hometown in Fujian? Chen Hui was stunned for a moment, and then understood. Yes, after the destruction of the 30,000-strong army, whether it was in the Tuyin Xi army or in the Nanjing court, Zheng Sen no longer had any foothold. Maybe Emperor Chongzhen will also investigate his crime of losing his army. Only by returning to his hometown in Fujian can he make a comeback!

After a big defeat, the country finally regained his cool head!
