Chapter 33: The Northern Expedition (2)

The 140 artillery pieces of the artillery battalion of the Zheng family army continued to bombard, and the Qing soldiers in Wenzhou City did not dare to go up to the city wall to guard it, regardless of Jin Li's beating threats.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers at the head of the city were suppressed, dozens of Zheng soldiers ran to the city gate and quickly dug a big hole in the ground with a newly built sapper shovel.

Then he buried the bundle of explosives, lit a fire, and ran out desperately.

Soon, there was a boom.

The entire Wenzhou city shook a few times, and dozens of Qing soldiers standing in the city did not stand firm for a while and fell to the ground.

After the explosion, the hundreds of Qing soldiers who approached were in a state of dizziness, feeling the chaos turning, and their ears were buzzing.

Under the huge impact of the explosive pack, the heavy city gate was blown apart, and the sand and gravel used to block the city gate also rolled out with a clatter, revealing a huge hole.

Seeing that the city gate was blown open, Liu Guoxuan rushed desperately towards the city gate with the soldiers of the forward battalion.

Jin Li knew that if he didn't organize Qing troops to block this gap at this time, Wenzhou would not be able to hold it.

He beheaded dozens of Qing soldiers who were too timid to step forward, and then arranged more than 1,000 law enforcement soldiers behind.

In order to encourage the Qing soldiers, Jin Li himself rushed forward with more than 2,000 personal soldiers, wanting to block the Zheng family army at the city gate.

The city gate was already small, and the explosives package only blew a gap.

The two armies started a bloody battle at the narrow city gate, the Zheng family's military momentum was like a rainbow, and the Qing army was also desperate under the leadership of the main general.

Here the spear pierces you in the abdomen, and the other side the knife has cut off the enemy's head;

The body is crippled and the limb is still fighting to the death;

Blood sprayed, knives and guns clashed, and the sound of killing was endless.

When the Qing army and the Zheng family were fighting in the city gate, outside the city, other Zheng family troops also approached with siege equipment.

The ladder was set up on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army quickly climbed up.

The building car leaned against the city wall, and countless Zheng Jiajun jumped on the city wall from the upper floor.

Seeing that some Zheng soldiers had climbed the wall, the artillery soldiers hurriedly extended the artillery fire back to create the best conditions for the Zheng soldiers to attack the city.

The city gate was broken, and Jin Li was busy leading troops to block the gate, so he didn't have time to care about anything else.

The Zheng family army easily climbed over the four city walls and entered the city, and countless Zheng family soldiers killed the city from the city walls.

When the Qing soldiers saw that Zheng Jiajun had already entered the city, some of them dropped their weapons and fled, and more shouted "I surrender, don't kill me!" "I surrender, don't kill me!" "Fall to your knees.

Jin Li saw that Zheng Jiajun was killed from behind, and he didn't know what was going on.

Seeing that Wenzhou had fallen, Jin Li immediately decided to lead his troops out of the city and retreat to Taizhou Mansion.

Liu Guoxuan is young and vigorous, and he wants to catch the big fish of Jin Li and make a great contribution, which will make him easily get out.

Liu Guoxuan clenched the big knife, jumped forward, and slashed vigorously at Jin Li.

Jin Li was forced to swing his sword to meet him.

With a bang, the piercing sound of blades colliding made Liu Guoxuan take a few steps back.

Liu Guoxuan felt that the big knife in his hand was almost knocked off, and the tiger's mouth was also a little cracked, and there was a slight bloodshot.

That's a lot of strength! It's an opponent!

Liu Guoxuan was not afraid, raised his knife and stepped forward, and killed Jin Li again.

Seeing that Zheng Jiajun, a young general, was entangled, Jin Li was also anxious.

Fight!

Jin Li knew that if he didn't kill the young general in front of him, he would not be able to get out at all.

Jin Li gritted his teeth and did not dodge at all, holding a big knife, intending to kill Liu Guoxuan first, and retreated with his troops.

When it was right to fight, Liu Guoxuan knew that Jin Li's martial arts were before him, and now Liu Guoxuan was completely fighting with Jin Li with life-threatening moves.

Touch!

The two big knives collided again, Liu Guoxuan was forced to retreat a few steps again, and the tiger's mouth in his right hand was completely broken at this time, and the big knife was also knocked away.

Jin Li's eyes revealed a strong killing intent, and the big knife slashed towards Liu Guoxuan with a whistling wind.

"Death to the boy!"

Just when Liu Guoxuan opened his eyes angrily, ready to die.

A broadsword swept over, blocking Jin Li's broadsword.

"Boring!"

The two knives collided with each other with a piercing loud sound, and Jin Li took a few steps back at this time, staring at the comer.

Seeing that he was not dead, Liu Guoxuan took a deep breath, his tense body relaxed, and looked up at the person who saved his life.

Liu Guoxuan shouted: "Brother Gan! ”

Gan Hui, the commander of the Chinese army, turned his head to look at the young general in front of him and scolded: "You kid, don't die." If you can't beat it, you won't be able to run! Dead Dry Bird! ”

scolded Gan Hui, Liu Guoxuan also knew that he was willful, and he lowered his head embarrassedly and didn't dare to reply.

Gan Hui didn't continue to blame Liu Guoxuan, he turned his head to look at Jin Li, and shouted: "What kind of hero is bullying a child." Come on, I'll play with you! ”

Jin Li didn't reply, he looked around, and his eyes revealed a look of despair.

After a while, the small place of the city gate was surrounded by the Zheng family's army.

More than 2,000 of his own guards also guarded his side with knives at this time, vigilant against the Zheng family army who was getting closer and closer.

Jin Li knew that he had lost the last chance to escape, his eyes were open, with the will to die, and he was ready to fight Gan Hui to the death with a knife in both hands.

As soon as Jin Li took a step, Gan Hui was also holding a knife and preparing to fight.

Suddenly, the knife in Jin Li's hand slipped down, and the whole person became weak, and he fell to the ground.

Gan Hui hurriedly looked forward, and Wang Jin, the henchman general behind Jin Li, was holding the hilt of the knife at this time, and the Qing soldiers around him were glaring at him.

Wang Jin threw the knife in his hand, knelt on the ground and shouted: "I am willing to surrender, adult, small one is willing to surrender......"

Gan Hui looked at Wang Jin in front of him with disgust, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only resist the urge to kill Wang Jin with a knife.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Gan Hui gathered the dantian and let out a deafening roar, and the huge sound seemed so clear and loud at the narrow city gate!

"Those who descend will not be killed!" Tens of thousands of Zheng Jiajun roared at the same time, and the momentum was mighty!

The remaining Jin Li's personal soldiers, you look at me, I look at you.

As a Qing soldier put down his weapon, the Qing soldier who quickly lost his fighting spirit, "Bang! "Smack!" They followed suit and threw away their blades, squatting on the ground and hugging their heads.

"Someone will send this Qing general to the army doctor for treatment!"

"Leave a town of soldiers and horses to guard these captives, and the others will follow me to seize the government and warehouse!"

"Yes, Admiral!"

Gan Hui raised the big sword in his hand and beckoned his subordinates to kill in the city.

More than three hours later, the shouts and screams in Wenzhou City fell silent, and the battle of Wenzhou was over!

In the Wenzhou Mansion, Zheng Chenggong sat on the coach's chair and asked, "How is the battle damage of our army?" ”

Chen Yonghua replied: "In addition to the 39 soldiers killed at the city gate, more than 100 others were slightly injured and can recover after a period of treatment!" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded and asked, "What are the results of our army?" ”

"974 Qing soldiers were killed and more than 13,000 were captured. As for the money and grain in the warehouse, it will take time to count, and it is not clear for the time being! ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly and said to Chen Yonghua loudly: "Fufu, immediately send someone to report to Fujian." And ask General Lin to lead the sailors to prepare for the attack on Zhoushan as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, the lower official will arrange for people to return to Lujiang to report the news!" (To be continued.) )
