There are a lot of subordinates of the Zheng family, after seeing the cavalry rushing in, some were stupid, standing motionless, some of the plates they were holding fell to the ground and fell to pieces, Xiong Zijian didn't care about these subordinates, but the war horses rushed to the front, and the subordinates who blocked the middle must have suffered a loss, some were hit by the high-speed war horses, knocked to the side, and some were trampled by the horses' hooves, and the mouth made a miserable scream, the movement of the team of people and horses is not able to care about so many details, if you want to avoid these people, I am afraid that the war horses may collide.

At this time, Xiong Zijian understood that when he set off, Su Tiancheng asked himself to lead the soldiers to attack Zheng Zhilong's mansion, and he resolutely could not let He Renlong lead the soldiers to attack.

Zheng Zhilong's mansion, the structure is very complicated, but it is also an old rule, divided into the front yard, the middle yard and the back yard, Zheng Zhilong and his family are concentrated in the lobby of the middle yard, as for the soldiers stationed, all of them are in the front yard, in the process of charging, Xiong Zilong has heard the sound of flintlock pistols, it is very dense, he knows that the crossfire in the front yard has begun, and he needs to lead the soldiers to quickly charge to the middle courtyard and capture Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and others.

Inside the mansion, after all, it is not as good as being in the field, you can let the war horse gallop, because of the influence of the house structure, those small bridges and flowing water and pavilions have become obstacles at this time, so the speed of the charge is not very fast, Xiong Zijian is very anxious, he knows that Zheng Zhilong, who is in the middle courtyard, must be making emergency deployment.

Because of their familiarity with the structure of the mansion, after the 7,000 soldiers rushed into the mansion, they quickly launched an attack according to the planned route, which was a huge role played by intelligence and avoided detours. However, the intelligence can only plan the general direction, and it is impossible to accurately determine the small bridges and ponds in every place, and the mansions in the south are unified by small bridges and flowing water, which is indeed a big obstacle for the attack of the Jiangning battalion soldiers.

The soldiers at the front. It had already rushed to the front of the middle courtyard, and at this time, suddenly a hundred or so people came out of the middle courtyard, and these people were armed with bows and arrows and began to fire.

A dense rain of arrows came, and the few soldiers who rushed to the front were caught off guard, and were quickly shot into hedgehogs, along with the war horses they were riding. was also shot, screaming and fell, just as these soldiers fell, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the charging soldiers, without hesitation, still charged forward, holding the reins in one hand. One hand pulled the trigger.

The firefight officially began.

The flintlock pistol is, of course, stronger than the crossbow. More than a hundred sergeants rushed out, some of whom were hit by flintlock pistols before they had time to fire a second bow and arrow, and some hurriedly retreated and closed the gate, but it was a pity. The flintlock pistol fired at the gate, which soon turned into a sieve, and screams rang out with the firing of the flintlock pistol.

The bow and arrow are still being fired, but the density is much smaller, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who are hit by arrows in front. Some of them were injured to the vital parts, lost their combat effectiveness in an instant, and retreated to the side very consciously, and some of the soldiers who were not seriously injured still charged forward, and with a few Jiangning battalion soldiers, they rode through the wooden door of the middle courtyard, and many soldiers flocked into the middle courtyard.

The three courtyards of the Zheng family's mansion, the gate of the front yard is the strongest, the wooden door is made of sandalwood, and the outside is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, unless it is an artillery attack, the flintlock gun cannot penetrate it, but the door of the middle courtyard and the back yard is different, it is more of a decorative role, and the middle courtyard and the front yard are not completely separated by a wall, even if you do not pass through the gate of the middle courtyard, you can also enter the middle courtyard and the back yard, but from the top of the bureau, the lobby of the middle courtyard is the closest to the door.

The reason why Xiong Zijian asked the soldiers to attack at the gate of the middle courtyard was not on a whim, let alone to show the power of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, but from the common sense of combat, if Zheng Zhilong had a large number of personal soldiers around him, his first reaction was to rush out of the gate of the middle courtyard, if he took the soldiers and rushed in from the rest of the place, maybe Zheng Zhilong was guarded by his own soldiers and went straight to the front yard or the backyard, then it would become a game of hide and seek, and the Zheng family's mansion was too big.

Entering the middle court, the situation began to change.

The houses became multiply, and the hundred or so people who had resisted just now had scattered after dropping dozens of corpses, probably hiding in their rooms, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the attacking soldiers.

Xiong Zijian didn't take these situations into account at all, commanded the soldiers, and rushed straight in the direction of the lobby, he knew very well that no matter how Zheng Zhilong arranged, the lobby was the most important position, as long as the target was aimed at the lobby, the pro-soldiers who were ambushed anywhere would rush out to defend the lobby.

Xiong Zijian's judgment was completely correct, as the soldiers rushed towards the direction of the lobby, bows and arrows continued to shoot out of the house, some sergeants ran out of the house, and ran wildly in the direction of the lobby, they couldn't outrun the war horses, although the terrain here is not very open, but the Jiangning battalion soldiers who are skilled in horseback riding skills can still catch up with them quickly, with the firing of the flintlock pistol and the raising of the steel knife, the blood continues to spurt out, and the walls and the ground are full of bloodstains, which look particularly frightened.

The gate of the middle courtyard is five hundred meters away from the lobby, which is nothing at all for the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion riding war horses, but at this time, Xiong Zijian suddenly raised the steel knife and made a scattered movement.

As soon as the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who entered the middle courtyard dispersed, a dense rain of arrows came, and several soldiers who had no time to dodge were quickly shot and fell off their horses.

In addition, when he was at the gate of the middle courtyard, and dozens of Jiangning battalion soldiers fell, Xiong Zijian couldn't help it, his original intention, when attacking, try to take care of Zheng Zhilong's family and not cause too much killing, but if it goes on like this, the soldiers will shrink back and may cause greater casualties.

"Brothers, if you meet someone who resists, kill them, and rush with me......"

Xiong Zijian's roar instantly ignited the anger of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, from the time they entered Zheng Zhilong's mansion, everyone was cautious, and they couldn't let go of their hands and feet at all, and some people even almost fell off their horses because they avoided the Zheng family's subordinates.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves began to sound, and the surroundings began to shake, at this time, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion had already let go, no matter where they were, no matter who was on the other side, they were going to charge.

Dozens of soldiers, holding flintlock pistols in one hand and holding the reins in the other, rushed straight towards the lobby, and more soldiers followed behind, also rushing towards the lobby, and the side room next to them was not in their sight at all.

Zheng Zhilong did not leave the lobby, although the soldiers around him tried hard to persuade him, he was unwilling to leave the lobby, he didn't know what the origin of the other party was, and he didn't even see the opponent, so he fled like this, which was not in line with his character, he had been fighting for so many years, and he had never surrendered, and he would not admit defeat this time.

A hundred personal soldiers went to the gate of the middle courtyard to meet the enemy, but a few minutes passed, and no one was seen back in the lobby, the sergeant waiting at the entrance of the hall fired several rounds of bows and arrows, and there was no particularly good effect, the sound of horses' hooves outside suddenly began to intensify, Xiong Zijian's words of killing made Zheng Zhilong's body tremble for a long time, from such a voice, he could hear the murderous aura, this is by no means an ordinary army, let alone pirates and bandits.

"My lord, my subordinates lead the sergeants to resist these thieves, and my lord hurry to the backyard, otherwise it will be too late."

Zheng Zhilong stood up with a blushing face, there were two hundred personal soldiers guarding the entrance of the hall, no matter how brave the army was, don't think about rushing in for a short time, there are still a hundred personal soldiers around him, and the remaining one hundred personal soldiers have already protected their families and retreated to the south.

"Who is it, what is it that will attack us?"

Zheng Zhilong shouted angrily, and by this time, he also knew that the other party was not good.

At this moment, he thought of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, he was well-informed, he thought a lot in a short time, to say that he has a lot of enemies, but people with such strong strength, for the time being, they have not met Lu Jian, the other party is a cavalry, and there are firearms in their hands, this is obviously the regular army of the imperial court, it will not be bandits, no one in Fujian will attack his mansion, think about it, the biggest possibility is Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying.

Thinking of the fame of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, Zheng Zhilong shuddered a little, I don't know how many sergeants Su Tiancheng sent, on land, I am afraid that he is not an opponent, at this time, the only way to hurry to the sea, there is a place where he can dominate, for a moment, Zheng Zhilong even thought, with all the warships, to kill Weihaiwei, Dengzhou and Laizhou.

The situation is as dangerous as an egg, the other party's timing is very good, rushing into the mansion, without much resistance, the pro-soldiers in the front yard have not come to reinforce for a long time, it can be seen that they have also encountered an attack, since the other party is prepared, he must have thought of the pro-soldiers stationed in the mansion, Zheng Zhilong has already sent pro-soldiers, quickly went to inform the garrison army, and asked the army to come over quickly to reinforce, I don't know if the pro-soldiers have rushed out of the Ludao.

Zheng Zhilong finally stood up, ready to leave through the back door, after leaving the lobby, he will meet with his family at the dock in the south, and hurry to the ship, so as to ensure safety, as for the mansion, it can only be handed over to the soldiers, and it will be dealt with temporarily.
