Chapter 333: History Turns
Facts speak louder than words, the more than 600 wounded who were abandoned in Zheng Yiguan's camp were silent, and no one could refute the propaganda of the Huang family's propaganda team. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If the Ming army wanted to take their heads, they didn't need to be so troublesome and spend so much money and food.
The pirates were relieved, and began to resent Zheng Yiguan, the leader who fooled them into rushing to the city wall of Xiamen as cannon fodder, and when they were wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, they ignored them and abandoned them.
As Shang Muming led the propaganda team to continue to deepen the propaganda, the number of pirates who resented Zheng Yiguan continued to increase.
Xu Xinsu, who was fighting bloodily on the city wall of Xiamen, was already preparing to strike a blow to death, and seeing the Zheng Yiguan's minions coming like a tide getting closer and closer, he calmed down and silently aimed at the arquebus.
In history, his life came to an end, and there would be no more trouble with Huang Sheng.
History turned around, the tide rose and fell in the blink of an eye, the pirates came and retreated quickly, and they rushed to form a formation three miles away, Xu Xinsu saw that the direction of their formation was not facing Xiamen City, but on the contrary.
Reinforcements, it must be that reinforcements are coming, and the city of Xiamen is cheering.
Xu Xinsu muttered to himself, is it rare to really have a bodhisattva to bless him? Which general is a living bodhisattva who saves suffering?
He didn't care whether the reinforcements could win or not, Zheng Yiguan successfully broke the siege, at least he bought time for him to stick to Xiamen City, and he asked everyone not to be too happy, and quickly take the opportunity to strengthen the city.
As long as the soldiers and civilians in Xiamen City have the physical strength to transport stones to repair the city, a large number of preparations for rolling wood and stones, they did not dare to open the city gate to attack Zheng Yiguan, because the city gate hole is blocked, it is too inconvenient to open the door, and because the pirates are strong, the reinforcements are likely to not be able to beat the pirates and escape.
Xu Xinsu was concerned about the battle situation outside the city, and found that the reinforcements were probably not strong, the number was only about 2,000, and the will to fight was not firm.
Although the clairvoyant mirror is a rare thing, such as Xu Xinsu and Zheng Yiguan are all owned by big pirates, there is no way to know whether they bought it from Westerners at a high price or robbed it.
After Xu Xinsu observed, he found that Zheng Yiguan actually took the initiative to attack the Ming army who came to the rescue with most of his men and horses, he secretly shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly urged the soldiers and civilians to seize the little time left to prepare for defending the city again, and the pirates should continue to attack Zhongzuo after an hour.
Xu Xinsu thought that the Ming army was too small, and he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the attack of two or three times the pirates.
Who knew that he was wrong, Zheng Yiguan's team went and came back quickly, one by one like frightened birds running all over the mountains, the Ming army was not in a hurry to capture the prisoners, but unfortunately these Ming soldiers were dressed differently and couldn't see that they were under the command of that general.
Xu Xinsu was very cautious, and did not move the boulder blocking the city gate, but sent Xu Xinhu to fall down the city with two family members to ask for reinforcements.
The siege of Xiamen had come to an end, and at this time Li Guozhu's fleet was able to reach the port of Xiamen, and Li Guozhu, who had waited for all the flowers, immediately ordered more than 1,500 pirates equipped with arquebuses and cold weapons to quickly land and kill under the city of Xiamen.
Li Guozhu is really anxious, what kind of bird is this? What are you doing? Brought nearly 100 warships and three or four thousand subordinates to follow Lord Huang to the South China Sea for armed tourism?
Lord Huang easily killed dozens of Zheng Yiguan's warships in Xiamen Port, captured more than 200 ships, and then took his men and horses to make persistent efforts to fight land battles.
Li Guozhu used a variety of weapons, which were almost the same as Zheng Yiguan's minions, there were all kinds of people in them, and there were more than 100 Japanese ronins with pheasant knives and ribs stuck in their waists.
When he hurried over, the daylilies were cold, and he was shocked by the scene he saw, Zheng Yiguan had already changed his master, there were two or three thousand kneeling in the camp, there were more than a thousand wounded who were wailing, and fifty copper-core iron cannons were shining in the sun.
Is this a win-win? How did the Huang family fight horses? Li Guozhu didn't see the scene of the fight, and he really couldn't imagine it.
One after another, the Huang family's pursuit troops escorted the captured prisoners back to the camp, reporting the results of the battle one by one, and asking and asking but they didn't find that Zheng Yiguan was caught, this kid ran quite fast and disappeared into the mountains and forests!
All the ships brought by Zheng Yiguan to the left are about 30% of his family's wealth, and now they are cheaper than the lucky Lord Huang.
More than 1,500 of his 10,000 minions were beheaded, 1,7800 were lightly and seriously wounded, and nearly 4,000 were captured.
Although the location of Xiamen City is an island, the area is not small, the island is rich in vegetation, very close to the mainland, the pirates are all strong swimmers, and now the weather is hot, swimming across the sea is completely possible.
Huang Sheng informed Huang Mingdao, who was in command of the warships in the port, to start patrolling the waters near Xiamen and continue to capture prisoners.
Li Guozhu heard that Zheng Yiguan should be nearby and did not run far, so he immediately took his subordinates to go to the mountains to search for fish that had slipped through the net, wanting to see if there was any good luck in capturing Zheng Yiguan alive.
As soon as he took his subordinates out of the camp, he found three men with their heads in their hands escorted over by several Huang family soldiers.
It was Xu Xinhu and the other two members of the Xu family who fell down from the city to contact the rescue of the Ming army. When they were covered in blood and went down the city wall with weapons, they were discovered by the Huang family sentinels.
The private soldiers of the Huang family knew that they should be Ming troops, so they did not tie them up, but just asked them to throw away their weapons and hold their heads in their hands. This is also a rule, whether it is friend or foe, let the other party lose their aggression first.
Li Guozhu saw a person who seemed to be familiar, looked at it a few times, and Xu Xinhu had already recognized him. shouted: "Li Gongzi, little Xu Xinhu! Do you remember? ”
As soon as Xu Xinhu opened his mouth, Li Guozhu remembered who he was, and hurriedly told the Huang family musketeer: "Several brothers have worked hard, this is the military attache under the command of Xu Xinsu, the general of the Ming army, and he is familiar with a certain person, he must have come here to ask to see your lord." ”
The leading boy was the probationary flag officer Yan Xiaowu, whose mission was to ensure the safety of the battalion and did not participate in the pursuit of the poor criminals.
He already knew that Xu Xinhu came from the Zhongzuo Institute, and when he saw that Li Guozhu knew this person, he didn't take care of them, so he said to Li Guozhu: "Li Gongzi, then please ask Your Excellency to introduce them to meet my family, and this official will continue to patrol." ”
Li Guozhu said to his subordinates: "Don't delay, don't delay, I won't wait to arrest Zheng Yiguan quickly, I will delay for a while, and I will take Brother Xu Xinhu to see Lord Huang immediately." ”
Xu Xinhu is still in a state of excitement, no wonder, one step of hell and one step of heaven, the contrast is too great, he already knows that the soldiers and civilians of Xiamen are determined to be saved, and Zheng Yiguan, who came to attack the Zhongzuo Institute, is dying at this moment.
In order to confirm, he asked, "Gongzi Li, Zheng Yiguan's guy was beaten away by your subordinates?" Are you going to go after you? ”
Li Guozhu's old face turned red and said: "Zheng Yiguan fled in the wilderness, but he was not beaten by his son, it was the credit of the soldiers under the command of Lord Huang." ”
Xu Xinhu is in a hurry, the opportunity is rare! Zheng Yiguan, who has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, is now trapped on Xiamen Island, so when will he not beat the water dogs at this time?
He said: "Li Gongzi, I'm sorry, the little one will immediately go back to the Zhongzuo to call someone, my family hates Zheng Yiguan to the core, this God-given opportunity will leave that guy no matter what." ”
