Hong Xu, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard a commotion outside the house, and then Hu San hurriedly ran in, gasping and said, "General, it's not good!" The Qing army has entered the city! ”

"What?" Hong Xu immediately rolled up from the bed in surprise when he heard this. "How could the Qing army attack the shore? What about Zheng Zhiguan? What does he eat? ”

Hearing Hong Xu ask Zheng Zhiguan, Hu San said hatefully: "General, that guy Zheng Zhiguan is greedy for life and afraid of death, as soon as he heard that the Qing army was attacking, he was so frightened that he immediately fled!" ”

Hearing that Zheng Zhiguan had fled, Hong Xu shouted: "That bastard has done a big deal, and he shouldn't have entrusted him with the heavy task if he knew it!" Someone, quickly bring the old man's armor. Hu San, you go and order Guo Yi to come to the vanguard town immediately and kill the Qing army! ”

Because Xiamen was protected by sailors, Zheng Chenggong felt that it was safer, so he let Guo Yi's left and right pioneers be stationed outside the city. Xiamen was guarded by only 2,000 soldiers in peacetime.

"General, that general ordered you to hand it over to Zheng Zhiguan before, and now he has escaped, and he can't find it!"

"Damn it, angry old man. Hu San, you go to Xishui Village in Xiamen and call Xu Long, they sent warships to block the sea area of Xiamen to the old man, and not a single Qing soldier can go out, nor can a Qing soldier attack ashore again. Otherwise, the old man asked him. The old man personally went to the barracks to gather the soldiers! ”

Let the sailors block the sea area, they are ready to close the door and fight the dogs! At this time, Hong Xu was preparing to temporarily abandon Xiamen City, fight Xiamen City to give the Qing army a scourge, and not let the Qing soldiers occupy Xiamen.

Hu San said worriedly, "General, your illness?!" ”

"At this time, I don't care what kind of illness I have. Go quickly, the old man can't die! Hong Xu shouted angrily.

"Yes, General, I'll go!"

Hu San hurriedly went out and rode a horse all the way to Xishui Village, Hong Xu grabbed a coat next to the bed, put it on, and dragged the sick body on horseback to the Guoyi Pioneer Camp outside the city.

In the lobby of the Xiamen Criminal Department, Zeng Ying sat on the top seat and looked at Shi Lang, and said sternly: "Honorable Marquis, you still want to deny it at this time." Now that the human and material evidence is there, you don't have to take chances. Tell you, confess leniently, resist strictly. Hurry up and truthfully recruit it, and save everyone trouble! ”

Shi Lang sat on the chair and said angrily: "Lao Tzu made suggestions, worked hard for him to fight for life and death, treated Lao Tzu like this, Lao Tzu is not convinced!" ”

Zeng Ying snorted and said, "Gong is merit, and it can't be mixed up!" The general is the most rewarding and punishing, you have made military achievements, the general has not given a reward, but has not promoted your official position! ”

Hearing Zeng Ying's words, Shi Lang was silent. Although he was not convinced, the reward given by Zheng Chenggong was quite convincing, and he did not treat his subordinates badly.

Seeing Shi Lang's silence, Zeng Ying continued: "The general has not treated you badly, why do you want to withhold the food and salaries of your subordinates and resell the grain. ”

Shi Lang quibbled: "What's wrong with deducting military salaries, the Ming soldiers didn't do this, why should Lao Tzu be punished." In the future, he Zheng Chenggong will rely on us generals to help him charge the trap, and what kind of climate can he achieve by relying on those mud legs, why should he protect them so much. ”

Zeng Ying sneered and said, "You admit that you have deducted your military salary!" ”

Shi Lang raised his head and said: "Lao Tzu has deducted military salaries, how is it!" ”

Zeng Ying picked up "Zuo Chaogang" and slapped the table hard, and drank: "Shi Lang, since you admit to deducting military salaries, plus the human and material evidence are all there, the evidence is conclusive." If you don't correct the law today, it will be difficult to correct military discipline! Come on, drag Shi Lang down for me, and hit the thirty boards! ”

Shi Lang immediately stood up when he heard this, pointed at Zeng Ying and scolded: "You are the oldest, dare to interrogate Lao Tzu." Even Zheng Chenggong's kid didn't dare to treat Lao Tzu like this, and he still wanted to beat Lao Tzu. I'll beat you to death first! ”

When Shi Lang spat out foul words, there was a burst of noise outside the hall. "Master Zeng, it's not good. The Qing soldiers are coming! ”

I saw Gu Chaojian running in with a few Xiao Shi, and said in horror: "Master Zeng, it's not good, the Qing soldiers are coming." Hide with me! ”

Hearing that a Qing soldier was attacking, Zeng Ying was taken aback and said, "What are Hong Xu and Zheng Zhiguan doing?" How could the Qing army be allowed to attack the shore. ”

Shi Lang, who was in the audience, heard the Qing soldiers attacking, and said with a sneer: "With the two fools of Hong Xu and Zheng Zhiguan, how can they defend Xiamen." If Zheng Chenggong is willing to listen to Lao Tzu's persuasion, let Lao Tzu lead the army. Ten of the Qing troops did not dare to invade Xiamen. ”

Seeing Shi Lang, Zeng Ying's eyes lit up and said, "Shi Lang, are you willing to make meritorious contributions." As long as Xiamen can get through this crisis, I can make a proposal to the general and forgive your sins! ”

When Shi Lang heard this, he was a little moved, but his eyes rolled, thinking about the benefits, and said: "Lao Tzu is a prisoner now, where can he lead the troops." Besides, where are the soldiers for Lao Tzu to use. ”

"I have 300 law enforcement soldiers here, you can take them all. After defeating the Qing army, I will make a message to the general and confer on you the rank of general Zhaowu. ”

General Zhaowu is the Ming Dynasty's Zheng Sanpin Martial Officer, which is a kind of false position given for the sake of reward when he has made military merits, but it is inconvenient to be promoted again. Only a salary increase, regardless of the position.

Hearing that the military attache who was promoted to the third grade, Shi Lang said with satisfaction: "Old immortal, rest assured." With me, I will be able to ensure that Xiamen is fine! ”

Hearing Shi Lang shouting that he was immortal, Zeng Ying almost wanted to smash the shocking wood in his hand angrily, thinking that this person was still needed to lead the troops to repel the Qing soldiers, Zeng Ying endured it.

Thinking of his personality, Zeng Ying shook her head.

When he is proud, he is full of ambition, and when he is frustrated, he is dissatisfied. This kind of character will inevitably have great difficulties in the future!

Although Shi Lang said that as long as he is there, Xiamen will definitely be able to keep it.

But he knew that his 300 law enforcement soldiers alone would not be able to hold Xiamen at all.

Shi Lang did not rush to the city gate, he took these people to the military depot in Xiamen.

Forcibly ordered the soldiers to pry open the storeroom, and then shouted: "Bring grenade shells and mines, how much can you take!" ”

With seven or eight grenades wrapped around his waist and boxes full of grenade bombs, Shi Lang took them to the gate of Xiamen in a hurry.

The Qing army followed the defeated soldiers to the outside of Xiamen, and when they saw that the gate of Xiamen had not yet been closed, Ma Degong was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Brothers, quickly, kill in." As long as Xiamen is won, whoever grabs it will be whom! ”

Hearing the reward promised by Ma Degong, the Fuzhou sailor suddenly whined excitedly and shouted, "Kill!" Grab it! Kill Xiamen City.

The Qing army would not be polite to the Xiamen sailors, and used a knife to kill a bloody way and rushed into Xiamen City.

Lan Cheng saw that the Qing army had entered the city, and he regretted it at this time, he should have been decisive at the beginning, and would rather drive these defeated soldiers out of the city than let the Qing army break through the city gate.

Lan Cheng remorsefully took the knife and wanted to rush forward and apologize for his sin with death.

Lan Cheng resisted desperately, but he couldn't stop the Qing army, which had many soldiers and horses, and the killed retreated step by step.

The vanguard of the Qing army has already entered the city gate and is busy burning and looting.

There were only more than 70 people left who were killed in less than an hour by the Ximen guards, and if Lan Cheng hadn't been blocked by a soldier, he would have died long ago.

In this way, he was also stabbed seven or eight times, and he was wounded all over his body, Lan Cheng didn't care, holding the knife tightly in his right hand, and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" ”

At this moment of crisis, the 300 law enforcement team led by Shi Lang arrived.
