Indonesians have indeed been brainwashed by the modified ancient Lan Sutra, and this modified concept of extreme river crab religion comes from later generations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But Wang Xinyu, who is thousands of miles away, swears that he really didn't instill this kind of thinking in these Indonesians.

The Green Sect is a cancer, and sooner or later the Qiongzhou Army will have to face those people when it marches westward, but not now. Instilling this kind of thinking in Indonesians is honestly not doing the Nanyang Ming army any good.

It wasn't until later that Wang Xinyu knew that this was a complete coincidence, and the Dutch didn't know how to move the inspiration, and after seeing a large number of river crab temples on the island of Java, they suddenly had this idea. As a result, these Indonesian natives who have been indoctrinated in this way have tragically become cannon fodder.

The Dutch army brought in cannons and engaged in a confrontation with the cannons in the castle.

The artillery of the Ming army at the head of the city bombarded condescendingly, and the heavy artillery at the height had a long range, and many of the Dutch's cannons were bombarded before they had time to set up. When the Dutch finally set up the cannon, the cannonballs at the head of the city smashed down on their heads and faces, causing heavy losses to the Dutch artillery.

The Dutch were unable to attack Coconut City for a long time, and sent an army to attack the city with the locals, but the defense of the fortress was strong, and the Dutch could not conquer it.

Thousands of miles away, Quanzhou City.

Liu Xiangzhen, the prefect of Quanzhou, sat in the office of Quanzhou Mansion, fidgeting.

Liu Xiangzhen is a hero of the Qing Dynasty, he is a native of Huoqiu, served as the county commander of Xinhui in the eighth year of Shunzhi, and later Li Dingguo attacked Xinhui for the first time in the tenth year of Shunzhi, and was blocked by this person. His successor, Huang Zhizheng, also blocked Li Dingguo's second attack in Xinhui. And Huang Zhizheng's methods of keeping the new club were all learned from Liu Xiangzhen.

Quanzhou Luoyang Bridge, the Qing army was stationed in the south of the bridge, blocking the road for the Ming army to go south. Luoyang Bridge is a cross-river bridge built in the Song Dynasty, the bridge is 360 zhang long, one zhang and five feet wide, it is an important passage to enter Quanzhou from Hui'an.

If you don't take the Luoyang Bridge and cross the Luoyang River by boat, because Quanzhou Bay is greatly affected by the tide, the water on the Luoyang River is fast and the waves are high, and it is very dangerous to cross the river by boat. The upper reaches of the Luoyang River are mountainous areas with an altitude of more than 700 meters, and the terrain is complex, making it difficult for the army to pass. Therefore, as long as the Qing army held the Luoyang Bridge, it could block the road for the Ming army to cross the river.

Luoyang Bridge is one zhang and five feet wide and has a long length. The Qing army set up six Hongyi cannons on the other side of the bridge, as well as a large number of small cannons such as tiger squat cannons and general cannons. If the Ming army passed over the bridge, it would be a straight line, and the Qing army would only need to bombard the bridge deck, and a single shell would kill and injure countless people.

In the camp of the Ming army, Wang Xinyu was holding a military meeting.

"The prefect of the Tartars is Liu Xiangzhen, this person was the county commander of Xinhui, and he blocked the first attack on Xinhui by the King of Jin. Later, King Jin fought Xinhui for the second time, and his successor Huang Zhizheng also defended the city according to his method. Wang Yuyou said.

"Xinhui County Order?" Wang Xinyu frowned, "Wu Jinzhong, who guarded the Xinhui back then, has already been killed by us, and there are still Tian Yunlong, Huang Zhizheng and Liu Xiangzhen left!" Now God has eyes, Liu Xiangzhen, a dog thief, is actually stationed in Quanzhou! If you break through Quanzhou and capture this thief alive, you will definitely cut him with a thousand knives! ”

In fact, it was Tian Yunlong who really formulated the policy of defending the new meeting, and this Liu Xiangzhen was just a local official. Later, the Tartar Zhu Mala led the Eight Banners Army to reinforce, and the King of Jin was defeated. Wang Yuyou said.

"Xinhui County Chronicle" records: and within the siege, since the arrival of the defense troops in May, they are all in the people's houses, and the officials give monthly food, which is their private property; Daily supply and demand, responsibility for the residence. The poor people set up wine and food to pay the soldiers, and ran beans and horses, which were not abundant, and they were whipped, and they still used the excuse of not giving them grain, and searched the homes of the people, and their children and silks, and plundered them arbitrarily. Since the people are all on hunger strike, digging rats and birds, eating duckweed and grass shoes. At the beginning of the month, the soldiers were slightly artificial, and the remnants were entrusted to the land, more than 10,000. Mo Zhilian, Gongsheng Li Lingchang, Sheng Yu Hao, Lu Ao, Li Jiongdeng, etc. are all meat on the anvil. Huang Zhizheng, the magistrate of the county, didn't dare anyone, he just mourned.

In Xinhui, the Qing army fed on human flesh and committed numerous crimes. Of course, the people of Xinhui are also responsible, when Li Dingguo attacked, the people of Xinhui assisted the Qing army to defend the city. Because they knew that Li Dingguo would not embarrass them, but once Xinhui was breached, if Li Dingguo could not hold Xinhui, the Qing army would come back and slaughter the city.

To tell the truth, Liu Xiangzhen hadn't eaten human flesh when he defended Xinhui, but if he hadn't held Xinhui for the first time, Xu Erxian of Zhaoqing would not have been able to hold it, and the Ming army would have taken Guangdong and pointed to Guangzhou.

To the west of Quanzhou, the upper reaches of the Luoyang River, are mountainous and hilly with complex terrain. Fujian is mountainous, and the transportation was inconvenient back then, and it was not easy for a large army to pass through the mountainous areas. But the mountain troops in Wang Xinyu's hands are just an army that has repeatedly created miracles! This army was trained by a modern army and was able to march a hundred miles in the mountains in a day and night.

At that time, the marching speed of the army was very slow, even if the Mongol cavalry that once swept across the Eurasian continent was one man with two horses or even one man with three horses, the speed of marching in a day and night was 120 miles. The average infantry marched at a speed of only thirty miles.

In later generations, a magical army, marching in mountainous terrain, could reach a speed of one hundred and twenty miles in a day and night, reaching the speed of the Mongolian cavalry!

Wang Xinyu's training of the army was based on the miraculous army of later generations, so it was not a big problem for his army to create miracles.

At the exit of the mountain forest, there is a beacon tower of the Qing army.

Cai Dezhong, Ma Chaoxing and others carried burdens, pushed wheelbarrows, and got out of the mountain and forest paths.

"Stop! Stop checking! "The chief of the Qing army took two Qing soldiers and stopped Cai Dezhong and others.

Cai Dezhong, dressed as a mountain man, stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, the villain is a small business, and he picks some mountain goods from the mountains to sell them in Quanzhou. ”

The Qing army's eyes showed a fierce look: "The ghost knows if you are the work of the Haikou!" Quanzhou is about to fight, don't go over! ”

Cai Dezhong and Ma Chaoxing suddenly broke out, and the two of them pulled out their knives and slashed at the head of the Qing soldier. Both of them are masters of martial arts, and they suddenly broke out, how could those three Qing soldiers be opponents. In the blink of an eye, Cai Dezhong and Ma Chaoxing cut down all three Qing soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

"Enemy attack!" The Qing soldiers on the beacon tower were in disarray.

A Qing soldier holds a torch and tries to light the beacon tower. At this moment, only a gunshot was heard, and the sharpshooter who was ambushed in the mountains and forests pulled the trigger of the rifled gun, and a pointed long bullet pierced the head of the Qing soldier.

Another soldier picked up a torch from the ground, and just as he stood up, another bullet whistled in, burrowed through the soldier's temple, and pulled out a line of blood.

"Up!" Cai Dezhong roared.

Several feather arrows were shot from behind the wooden fence, but they were all knocked out by Cai Dezhong and Ma Chaoxing with knives. The special combat team members who followed behind shot the Qing soldiers behind them with crossbow arrows.

There were not many Qing soldiers stationed in this beacon tower, only ten people, they were originally specially used to send beacon smoke signals, who knew that the rifled guns equipped by the Ming army shot from a long distance, so that the Qing soldiers were all wiped out before they even sent the signal.

After occupying the beacon tower, the mountain troops behind successively drilled out of the mountains and forests and marched towards Quanzhou City. Along the way, there were only small groups of Qing soldiers.

"Minggou is here!" Seeing the Ming army coming from the small road, the Qing army collapsed and fled in all directions.

In the city of Quanzhou, the Qing army made a detailed report: "Report to your lord, something is wrong!" Ming Dog has come around from the mountains to the northwest! It's almost time to get to Quanzhou City! ”

"What?" Liu Xiangzhen didn't know how to stand up, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, "They didn't go from the Luoyang River?" They came around from the mountains? ”

The Qing army said carefully: "They didn't go to the Luoyang River at all!" They came around from the west! ”

Liu Xiangzhen hurriedly sent an order to let the Qing artillery guarding the south bank of the Luoyang Bridge move to Quanzhou City, and at the same time, the north gate and west gate of Quanzhou City were all closed, preparing to deal with the Ming army's siege.

In fact, the number of Ming army mountain troops who came over was only more than 3,000 people, but the spies of the Qing army could not get close at all, and the Ming army mountain troops patrolled at night, and all the Qing scouts who tried to get close were hunted down. The rest of the Qing scouts couldn't get close, and when they observed from a distance, they didn't know the truth at all, and thought that the main force of the Ming army was coming.

As the saying goes, when the number of people exceeds a thousand, it seems endless. Liu Xiangzhen stood at the head of the city, looking at the Ming army that appeared outside the city, only to see the flags outside the city, and the Ming army was suppressed by the black for miles away. In the woods behind the Ming army, there were countless smoke and dust billowing, and it seemed that there were tens of thousands of troops.

In fact, there were only more than 100 sentinels of the Ming army behind the woods, and each cavalry had branches hanging on the tail of their horses, and the cavalry galloped back and forth, and the branches were dragged on the ground, rolling up countless smoke and dust, creating the illusion of thousands of troops and horses.

Moreover, Wang Xinyu used roundabout tactics many times, through mountain paths, and appeared from behind the Qing army. This trick has been used many times, so Liu Xiangzhen misjudged and thought that the main force of the Ming army had arrived under the city of Quanzhou.

On the south bank of the Luoyang River, the artillery team of the Qing army drove mules and donkeys, pulled cannons, passed through the official road, and retreated in the direction of Quanzhou City. In the grass on the side of the official road, there were several figures wearing green military uniforms, grass rings on their heads, and branches and grass blades on their bodies, staring at the movements of the Qing army.

When the Qing army all withdrew to Quanzhou City, the hidden Ming army spies began to move, sending a signal to the main force of the Ming army in Jiangbei. At the same time, several small boats were launched and passed under the Luoyang Bridge to prevent the Qing army from planting gunpowder under the bridge. On the Luoyang Bridge, there were also the vanguard of the Ming army passing through, and at the same time checking whether the Qing army had done anything on the bridge.

After receiving the news from the spies, Wang Xinyu ordered the main force to set off and go straight to Quanzhou through the Luoyang Bridge.

In fact, there were a large number of heavy weapons in the main force of the Ming army, which were difficult to pass through the mountain paths, and could only be passed through the Luoyang Bridge. Therefore, the mountain troops carried out the strategy of attacking the east and the west and luring the enemy, and deceived the Qing army to withdraw from Luoyang Bridge and withdraw to Quanzhou City. In this way, the main force of the Ming army can smoothly pass through the Luoyang Bridge.

"The Tartars withdrew their troops from the side of the Luoyang Bridge, but thought that they didn't blow up the Luoyang Bridge, are the Tartars really so stupid?" Li Rui asked in confusion.

Wang Xinyu replied with a smile: "The Tartars think that our main force has passed through the mountain road!" They think it makes no difference whether the bridge is blown up or not. In fact, even if the Tartars blow up the bridge, it will not be difficult for us, as long as the bridge piers are not all blown up, we will soon be able to repair the Luoyang Bridge. Even if the piers are blown up, we can lay a pontoon bridge upstream of the bridge. ”

At the head of Quanzhou City, a Qing army came to report: "Report to your lord!" There are a lot of pirates outside the east and south gates! ”

Liu Xiangzhen took people to the tower of the east gate of the city, stood at the head of the city and looked, only to see a large number of Ming troops outside the city, the number of people was too large to be seen, and it was obvious that this Ming army was followed by a large number of heavy artillery troops.

"Fooled! Minggou is using a strategy to attack the west! They used a feint attack by a partial division to deceive us into withdrawing the army guarding the south of the bridge to the city to defend the city! Liu Xiangzhen realized at this time that he had been tricked.

If the Qing army insisted on holding on to the south of the bridge, then it would not be easy for the Ming army to cross the Luoyang River. The Qing army blocked the bridge deck with artillery, and the Luoyang Bridge was difficult to pass. If a pontoon bridge is erected on the river, the artillery of the Qing army can open artillery bombardment on the river, and it is difficult for the Ming army to erect a pontoon bridge. The only way was to use artillery to bombard the opposite bank and suppress the Qing artillery, and then to erect a pontoon bridge over the river to pass.

At that time, the accuracy of the artillery was very poor, the shells flew over the river nearly two miles wide, and the accuracy was already very poor, and it was not easy to completely destroy the artillery of the Qing army. The few rifled guns that Wang Xinyu had at hand were now used against the Dutch on the island of Java, and the Ming army attacking Quanzhou did not have rifled guns in their hands.

The main force of the Ming army easily crossed the Luoyang River and arrived at the city of Quanzhou.

Looking at the Ming army digging trenches and arranging barracks, Liu Xiangzhen almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. He knew that if he held the Luoyang Bridge, the Ming army would not reach the city of Quanzhou so quickly. But now that the Ming army has crossed the river, he has no other way but to hold the city as much as possible.

There were quite a few Qing defenders in Quanzhou City, with more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers and more than 5,000 recruited people. Moreover, Quanzhou is a large city, and the Qing army has deployed a large number of large and small artillery here. Many of the cannons that the Qing army had obtained from the Longwu court and Zheng Zhilong were in Fujian, and a considerable part of the cannons in Fujian were placed in Quanzhou.

Seeing that the Ming army was digging a trench a mile away to arrange the barracks, Liu Xiangzhen gave an order: "Open the cannon!" ”

The Hongyi cannon of the Qing army at the head of the city roared, the muzzle of the cannon spewed fire, and the cannonball flew out a mile away, smashed on the position of the Ming army, and raised a cloud of smoke and dust.

Hearing the sound of artillery at the head of the city and seeing the shells smashing over, the auxiliaries who were working scattered and hid in the trenches.

The artillery shells of the Qing army smashed over, due to the long distance, poor accuracy, and the Ming army still had trenches to hide, the artillery of the Qing army did not cause any losses to the Ming army auxiliaries.

"The Tartar fired, and we bombarded him!" Luo Xiang proposed.

Wang Xinyu agreed to this proposal, ordered a twelve-pounder cannon to be erected, and launched an artillery bombardment of the city wall.

"Boom" a twelve-pounder cannon spewed fire, and the cannonballs smashed into the city wall of Quanzhou with a whistling sound. Although the accuracy of shelling a target a mile away is not high, but when bombarding a target as large as the city wall, the twelve-pounder cannon can easily smash the shell on the city wall.
