In repeated tests, Song Yingxing and Feng Chengshi found that the grenade with a wooden handle could be thrown farther, and it was more economical, which was the most suitable for Zheng Jiajun at this stage.

When Zheng Chenggong learned of this, he immediately ordered the pineapple grenade to be scrapped and made every effort to produce wooden-handled grenades. At the same time, it also takes into account the production of some tile mines, as well as iron mines.

This time it was the initiative to attack Quanzhou, and the mines were not very manipulative, so Zheng Chenggong left all the mines plus some grenade bombs for Tong'an.

Zheng Chenggong brought the rest with him to attack Quanzhou.

On May 15, after the grain and grass were gathered, Zheng Chenggong led 13,000 soldiers and horses to Quanzhou.

Zheng Chenggong rushed to Quanzhou by waterway, in order to achieve the effect of surprise, Zheng Jiajun tried to find a hidden village to rest during the day, and traveled urgently at night.

On May 23, Zheng Chenggong led his troops to a water inlet more than 20 miles from Quanzhou City to meet Lin Xishanshui.

The two thousand soldiers of the Zheng family army took off their armor and changed into the clothes of ordinary people that had been prepared long ago.

Guo Tai and Yu Wan walked swaggering on the post road in Quanzhou, shouting all the way "oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, restore Quanzhou", and walked towards Quanzhou City.

The 2,000 soldiers were scattered, holding a mess of weapons, forks, hammers, kitchen knives, wooden sticks, and the like, and walked noisily to Quanzhou.

Such an eye-catching team is like a firefly in the dark night, so distinct and outstanding, it is difficult for people not to find it.

Early on, a spy reported the situation to Zhao Guoza, the governor of Quanzhou.

Hearing the news, Zhao Guozha hurriedly ordered Adjutant General Han Shangliang to mobilize soldiers to prepare to follow him out of the city to kill this group of rebels.

Han Shangliang, the deputy general of Quanzhou, hurriedly stopped: "General, slow down, now there are rebels all over Fujian, you take the army out of the city, once a rebel army comes to attack the city, the last general is afraid that Quanzhou will be lost." Fujian's general soldiers and horses are leading the army to use troops in Nanpingpu City, and the last general is still cautious and cautious, trying to protect Quanzhou. The rebels outside the city saw what they were doing and heard their voices, and they knew that they were a rabble, and what did it matter if they let them riot for a while. Once the general army has the power to return to defense, it will be easily eliminated. ”

At the beginning, Zhao Guozha was promoted to the governor of Quanzhou because of the defeat of Zheng Cai and the recovery of Haicheng.

If you want to climb up again, how can you get more credit.

Zhao Guozha was dissatisfied with Han Shangliang for preventing him from making war exploits, "Hmph, you say that it is a rabble, what is the difficulty of eradicating them, you can win in less than half a day." Besides, I haven't heard of other rebels near Quanzhou, what are you afraid of? If these rebels are allowed to develop, they are afraid that they will have an army of tens of thousands immediately like a snowball, and then Quanzhou will be really troublesome. ”

Han Shangliang was still arguing with reason, and Zhao Guozha was impatient, so he said: "I will only lead 5,000 people, and you will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to guard Quanzhou." ”

Han Shangliang heard that Zhao Guozha only led 5,000 people to attack the rebels, and left 5,000 people to defend the city, and felt that it was acceptable.

Zhao Guozha led 5,000 people out of the city in a hurry and killed the "rebels".

Sure enough, just as Zhao Guozha thought, this rebel saw the Qing army coming from a distance, so he immediately turned around and fled in fright.

Zhao Guoza chased after him.

Seeing Zhao Guoza chasing after him, Yu Kuan hurriedly whispered to Guo Tai: "Let your subordinates pretend to be decent, don't leak out of the horse's feet." Throw some of those weapons and flags, and tell some soldiers to flee and gather at the predetermined place! ”

"Okay, the last general will go and tell them!"

The fleeing soldiers of the Zheng family army threw down the prepared weapons and flags, and then shouted, "The Qing soldiers are coming, flee quickly!" ”

Zhao Guozha saw the appearance of the anti-thieves "fleeing in defeat", and he did not doubt it, and shouted, "Quick, don't let these anti-thieves escape." Kill! ”

Confident, Zhao Guozha only cared about being proud, but he didn't find that when this "rebel" fled, he was only scattered.

In a forest not far from Quanzhou City, the spy rode back and said, "General, General Yu has led Zhao Guozha out of Quanzhou City!" ”

"Good!" Zheng Chenggong nodded, looked at Gan Hui and Chen Hui and said, "The two of you can lead the troops to capture Quanzhou." ”

"Yes, General!" Gan Hui and Chen Hui responded in unison, and after hugging their fists to Zheng Chenggong, they were ordered to leave.

At this time, in the city of Quanzhou, due to Zhao Guoza's army going out of the city to attack ****, there were only less than 5,000 soldiers and horses left in the city.

Adjutant General Han Shangliang ordered the four cities to be closed tightly to prevent the enemy from leading his army to raid the empty city. At the same time, Han Shangliang himself took five hundred soldiers to patrol the city wall from time to time.

Yang Caiyi, the guard guarding the west gate, saw Han Shangliang coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to accompany him to inspect the western city. His expression was still as plain as ever, but his heart was anxious.

Yang Caiyi secretly scolded Han Shangliang in his heart why he didn't leave to inspect other places, but it was almost the time agreed. He didn't leave, and when Zhao Guoza came back, Quanzhou would be even more difficult to conquer.

Just when Yang Caiyi was nervous and didn't know what to do, Hu Jialiang, the guard of the East Gate, sent a soldier to come, saying that Dongcheng District had found that there were squires Guo Bichang and Zhuge Bin who were abnormal, and asked General Han to come over and take a look.

After Han Shangliang heard that he hurriedly explained a few words to Yang Caiyi, he anxiously rushed to Dongcheng with his own soldiers to inspect.

Looking at Han Shangliang's distant figure, Yang Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Guo Bichang and the two of them acted in time as agreed and lured Han Shangliang away.

Otherwise, when the Zheng Jiajun attacked, his plan would not be realized.

On the East Gate Street of Quanzhou City, Guo Xian led more than a dozen families to open the road in front, and Guo Bichang and Zhuge Bin hurriedly lit fires in the houses not far from the city gate.

Houses were burned down, thick black smoke was emitting, and the already gloomy sky was even more gloomy at this time.

Hu Jialiang, the guard of the East Gate, saw that he was busy sending someone to inform Han Shangliang that he himself took more than 300 Qing soldiers to the city to kill those ****.

Seeing the Qing soldiers coming, Guo Bichang and Zhuge Bin hurriedly drank: "Everyone kill!" As long as it is delayed for a while, the country surnamed Ye will lead the army to kill. Then you will all be rewarded. ”

Guo Bichang and Zhuge Bin expect that their families can delay for a while. But they overestimated the fighting power and will of the family members, and the seven or eight family members in the vanguard resisted and hacked the Qing soldiers to death in less than two blows. The rest were frightened and immediately threw down their weapons and ran away.

Guo Bichang also wanted to take a few henchmen to fight with the Qing soldiers, but Zhuge Bin and Guo Xian hurriedly pulled him to escape.

Hu Jiasan saw that he was chasing after the Qing soldiers and wanted to capture them.

Lan Cheng shook his head when he saw the performance of those squires. Fortunately, the general had already made arrangements, otherwise he would have expected these squires to be finished at all.

Lan Cheng turned his head to look at his soldiers and shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, it's up to us now, kill!" ”
