Chapter 53: The Battle of Quanzhou (2)
Seeing Han Shangliang leaving, Yang Caiyi came to the female wall and looked into the distance, waiting anxiously.
After a while, there was a rumbling sound of running.
Yang Caiyi listened attentively and with a happy face, he finally came!
As soon as a bowl of tea was made, the Zheng family army led by Gan Hui and Chen Hui appeared in sight, with no less than 4,000 people, and they were running towards the city gate at a rapid pace.
"Enemy attack...... "One of the defenders cried out in horror, but he couldn't finish speaking.
A blade pierced his chest, and he looked at the guard Yang Caiyi in disbelief.
Yang Caiyi shouted with some regret: "I'm sorry, brother! You shouldn't shout. ”
The knife was withdrawn, and the soldier's body fell with a thud, and when his consciousness dissipated, he didn't even understand what was happening!
"Quick, open the city gate and welcome the country into the city!" Yang Caiyi whispered excitedly.
More than 100 Yang Caiyi's personal soldiers who had been waiting for a long time under the city hurriedly pushed open the heavy city gate, cut the cable, and lowered the drawbridge while being vigilant against the other soldiers.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Zheng family army are getting closer and closer to the city gate, they can even see the general flag of the Zheng family army - Gan.
That scream alarmed Han Shangliang in the end, and when he was halfway there, he hurriedly returned to the west gate with his own soldiers, standing on the city wall and watching the Zheng family army outside the city get closer and closer to the city gate.
"Shit, these bastards. When the Admiral returns, let's see how Lao Tzu cleans them up! Han Shangliang called a few of his relatives and shouted: "You immediately go and transfer some soldiers from other city gates to me, go quickly!" ”
Once the Zheng army invaded the city, Quanzhou could not be defended.
When the relative heard the order, he hurried to find the guards of the other gates to come to help.
Han Shangliang turned his head and shouted angrily at the rest of the soldiers who also moved: "Now that the Qing Dynasty has sat firmly in China, if any of you dares to betray, when the Qing army comes back, it will be killed!" If you want to keep your family safe, follow Lao Tzu to defeat the enemy and recapture the city gate. ”
After shouting, Han Shangliang took out his treasure knife and killed at the city gate, and the other soldiers also clenched their weapons and hurriedly followed Han Shangliang to kill when they saw hesitation.
The stakes were so high that Yang Caiyi did not dare to tell all his subordinates about the anti-Qing incident, but only revealed it to more than 100 of his most trusted henchmen.
The sudden rebellion plunged many of Yang Caiyi's subordinates into chaos, and they didn't know what to do at all.
When Han Shangliang came over with the soldiers, Yang Caiyi had to grit his teeth and leave more than 20 soldiers to continue to push the city gate, and he took the rest of his own soldiers to stop Han Shangliang, hoping to hold on until the Zheng family army entered the city.
Eighty soldiers blocked the narrow city gate, and Yang Caiyi shouted while brandishing a big knife: "Everyone resist it, as long as you hold on for a while, the Zheng family army will be able to kill you." At that time, the surname of the country will definitely be rewarded! ”
The space at the city gate is limited, and at most it can accommodate seven or eight simultaneous attacks.
Han Shangliang knew that the city gate must be closed, otherwise everything would be over. He personally led the soldiers to break through the obstruction of Yang Caiyi's cronies desperately.
For a time, the tragic battle at the city gate turned into a life-for-life fight.
Yang Caiyi was also desperate, but he did not resist the counterattack of the Qing army, but was defeated and retreated by Han Shangliang's army. Many of the original subordinate soldiers were scolded by Han Shangliang and killed Yang Caiyi.
Fighting a few wounds to the city gate, Han Shangliang killed Yang Caiyi's personal soldiers, and Yang Caiyi fled to the inner city under the protection of his personal soldiers.
Han Shangliang didn't have time to pay attention to Yang Caiyi for the time being, and hurriedly ordered the Qing soldiers to close the city gate quickly.
Seeing that the open city gate was slowly being closed again, Gan Hui's anxious eyes burst out, and he shouted angrily: "Hurry, hurry!" Speed up ......"
Those internal troops are limited, and many of the soldiers are still family members. If it is attacked by the Qing army, it is difficult to predict how long it will be able to hold on. In case the city gate is not opened, the attack on Quanzhou can only hope for Lin Xishan's sailors.
Gan Hui rode his horse and crossed his sword, and he couldn't help but loudly urge his soldiers to speed up the march.
With Gan Hui's drinking order, Zheng Jiajun quickened his pace.
The gate of Quanzhou City was about to be closed under the impetus of the Qing soldiers.
When Gan Hui saw it, he shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”
Gan Hui knocked the spurs with his feet, and the whole person pressed on the horse's back, urging the horse to rush forward.
Running to the city gate, Gan Hui lifted the reins of the horse. The horse leapt into the air and rushed towards the city gate.
With a bang, the city gate was slammed open under the hard blow of the war horse!
Gan Hui entered the city like a fierce tiger out of the gate, and hacked to death several Qing soldiers who pushed the door with a few knives.
Gan Hui kept wielding the big knife in his hand, slashing and killing the Qing soldiers blocking the city gate. Every time the broadsword rises and falls, it can bring blood flowers flying in the air, and each life is taken away by the soul seducer.
Seeing Gan Hui's unrivaled bravery, the soldiers of the Zheng family army who followed closely were stimulated by the blood boiling, and one by one the ghosts cried wolf and rushed into Quanzhou City to slash at the Qing army.
Seeing Zheng Jiajun follow into the city, Gan Hui had time to observe the situation in the city.
At a glance, there were many Qing soldiers guarding a general, "Well, it seems to be a big man!" ”
Han Shangliang led the Qing soldiers to resist more and more Zheng family troops stubbornly, and shouted in his heart why the Qing soldiers from other city gates had not yet arrived!
Han Shangliang was not dead at this time, he was still thinking of relying on the Qing soldiers at other city gates to drive the Zheng family army out of the city.
"Die!" Gan Hui's eyes flashed, and he quickly rushed up, cut down the Qing soldiers who were guarding Han Shangliang's side, and slashed Huashan at him with one move.
Although Han Shangliang's arm was numb from Gan Hui's powerful slash, he still replied sharply without showing weakness, "Hugh is arrogant, look at the knife!" ”
Han Shangliang is not known for his bravery, and when he led his troops to kill Yang Caiyi, he had been fighting for a long time. Now I met the brave Gan Hui, and was slashed a few times by him,
Han Shangliang felt that his arm was abnormally sore, and he couldn't lift his strength.
Being merciful to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to oneself, and Gan Hui doesn't care if Han Shangliang is not in his heyday now.
Seeing that Han Shangliang was weak, Gan Hui stepped forward, raised his big knife and slashed at his head with all his might.
"Fight!" Han Shangliang gritted his teeth and waved the big knife in both hands to meet him.
'Bump!' After the unusually piercing sound of blades clashing, the big knife in Han Shangliang's hand was knocked away, the tiger's mouth was broken, and blood flowed.
The big knife cut off Han Shangliang's shoulder from right down, and his armor was broken.
Seeing that Han Shangliang was dead, "Those who descend will not be killed!" Gan Hui gathered his dantian and roared angrily.
The soldiers of the Zheng family army also roared at the same time, "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
The loud sound is so clear and loud even in the noisy battlefield!
The Qing soldiers who were still fighting fiercely saw Han Shangliang lying in a pool of blood, and the frightened Qing soldiers couldn't resist anymore, and some of them even dropped their weapons very simply, hugged their heads and asked to surrender.
Seeing that some people surrendered, the remaining Qing soldiers suddenly lost the desire to continue fighting, and threw down their weapons and surrendered.
