The two landing craft soon arrived at the mouth of the Monga River, and one of the landing craft immediately launched an attack in the direction of the Monga ferry, the searchlight on the bow of the landing craft pointed the way, and the heavy machine guns aimed at the target on the ships on the Monga ferry, and the figures around the wharf and cargo store spewed out tongues of fire. Please remember the URL of this site: .

Another landing craft joined up with the 4th Battalion on the south bank, loaded with a company of troops, and turned around and approached the ferry crossing on the north bank.

Seeing that the Ming army was about to land, the escort rushed out of Longshan Temple under the instigation of Huang Longan. More than 100 brave villagers shouted, brandished birds, knives and guns, and braved the rain of bullets to kill the ferry.

The two landing craft immediately threw out a pillar of light like daylight, and the heavy machine guns and rifles of the Ming army opened fire at the same time, and the overwhelming rain of bullets poured over, and a large number of the top suburbs suddenly collapsed, and many people died on the spot, and many more were seriously injured, tossing and moaning on the ground. In the face of huge casualties, the courage of the villagers disappeared without a trace, and they quickly retreated.

The landing craft moved out of the way of the Monga Ferry Pier and aimed at the shoreline of the pier south of the wooden trestle. The landing capsule opened, and the Ming soldiers rushed to the river bank while firing.

"Hold your mother, I will feed you for nothing!" Huang Longan's eyes were red, and Teng Teng rushed out of Longshan Temple. He stopped the defeated and retreating Xiang Yong, jumped to his feet and scolded bitterly, "Rush me, kill!" Suppress the Ming bandits who have landed on the shore into the river. ”

A bright pillar of light was thrown over, just covering Huang Longan's figure, and the bullet flew over, and Huang Longan fell in a pool of blood on the spot. The top suburbs were in an uproar, and they all fled to the military camp in the east of the city.

At this time, the military camp in the east of the city was also jumping and chaotic.

As soon as Ding Yuejian entered the camp in the east of the city, he immediately summoned the generals and ordered the troops to be assembled to prevent the Ming army from attacking. The villagers who were sleeping soundly in the tent were awakened by the fierce gunfire outside, and they were still stunned one by one, and the leaders shouted and cursed outside the tent, so they got up in a hurry, put on their clothes in a panic, and ran out of the tent with their weapons in a nervous manner.

Ding Yuejian was still gathering troops here, and those top suburbs escorts broke and fled, "Lord Ding, it's not good!" The ferry port was taken by the Ming bandits, and Premier Huang was also killed by them. ”

What the! Ding Yuejian's head is hot, how can he lose the ferry! As soon as he wanted to transfer troops and horses to take back the Monga ferry, he heard the sound of "bang-bang" gunfire in the east and south directions of the barracks. As the gunshots rang out, piles of bonfires were lit on the east and south sides of the barracks.

Most of the 5,000 villagers in the camp had never experienced a war, and when they saw the Ming army attacking from multiple directions, they suddenly became at a loss.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Ding Yuejian was quite calm, and he immediately assigned men to go up to the wall to resist the Ming army.

The three battalions seized the ferry and immediately pressed towards the military camp east of the city, and two landing craft also accompanied them on the river. The loudspeaker on the bow of the landing craft broadcast loudly in Hokkien dialect, "Brothers in the Qing army, pay attention, Zhuqian City, Taoyuan, Xinzhuang, Shuihuijiao, and Nuan Nuan have been liberated by our Ming Dynasty, you have been surrounded, any resistance is ineffective, you must lay down your arms, raise your hands high, and surrender to avoid death; If you don't repent, you will be killed! ”

On the Tamsui River, the loudspeakers of the Ming army broadcast over and over again, and when they heard the shouting, the villagers guarding the camp were all cold in their hearts, and the weapons in their hands were also drooping.

The big tent of the Chinese army, the petty officials such as Ma Dan and many township leaders were urgently discussing the military situation around Ding Yuejian, and after listening to the broadcast of the Ming army, Ma Dan's tears almost fell, "My lord, Zhu Yan City, Taoyuan, Xinzhuang, Shui Hui Foot, and Nuan Nuan have been captured by the Ming bandits, and we have no way out!" ”

"If there is no way back, then fight bravely to kill the enemy." Ding Yuejian shouted loudly, "The country has been raising soldiers for 200 years, and today is the time for you and me to serve the country!" There are 5,000 athletes in the camp, and there are also the elite of the green battalion of Zeng Xietai in the north. If the jade is unfortunately broken, it can also live on forever! ”

"Obey your lordship's orders, and we will fight bravely to kill the thief!" When everyone saw Ding Tongzhi's righteous face, they all admired it in their hearts.

Leaving the big tent of the Chinese army, the leaders of the township bravely climbed the wall with their own men and horses. Ding Yuejian kept saying that he wanted to be loyal to the country, but these township leaders were very active in their hearts, and when they saw that the direction of Dadaocheng in the north was quiet, and Zeng Yuming's military camp was still lit as usual, they all had the intention of defecting to Zeng Yuming.

The third and fourth battalions pressed from the east, west, and south directions, and several incendiary bombs flew in, and the bamboo and wooden fence wall that was close to the protective trench immediately burned, and the townsmen on the walled wall suddenly became a mess.

"What to do? The camp can't hold it! ”

"Vote for Lord Zeng, go for Lord Zeng!"

The leader of the village guarding the north wall of the village saw that the east, south, and west directions were all guns and cannons, and the flames were soaring, and he immediately panicked, so he directly opened the gate of the village and fled north with the men and horses.

The Xiangyong armed forces guarding other directions saw that the brigade of men and horses in the north direction began to flee, and they were muttering in their hearts, and the Ming army outside the wall was pressed by bullets, and they immediately panicked, and they all ran northward with a bang.

Hearing that a team of villagers had all left their posts without permission and fled north, Ding Yuejian suddenly became anxious, and he immediately pulled out a knife and ran out of the Chinese army's tent, wanting to stop the villagers' movements. Seeing Ding Tongzhi, who was wearing an official uniform, majestically blocking the road, the villagers who were born with mud legs couldn't help but be a little afraid, and the timid ones hurriedly ran back, and the more active ones made a detour to the north, and more people stopped moving.

At this time, the fourth battalion had already broken into the Qing army camp from the south, and saw the Qing army brigade crowded in the middle of the camp, and the battalion commander Tan Huan immediately took out the M203 grenade and hung it on his M16 rifle, and fired two grenades in a row.

There were two loud bangs, "boom", and two grenades hit a camp not far from the hometown braves. Flying shrapnel tore the tent to pieces, and the blazing flames ignited the broken strips of cloth, and the flames burst into flames.

"Run, the bandits have already been killed!"

In an instant, the township brave wolves rushed to the pigs, cried for their fathers and called for their mothers, and fell into a huge chaos. Before Ding Yuejian could speak, he was pushed to the ground by the panicked rout, and hundreds of pairs of big feet stepped directly on him.

The Ming army soon occupied the Qing army camp, and the third and fourth battalions each left a small number of troops to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the soldiers put their guns while driving the township to the direction of Dadaocheng.

In the temporary military camp of Dadaocheng, Zeng Yuming looked at the firelight in the direction of Monga, listened to the gunshots and shouts not far away, and felt cold. He was full of hope that this morning, he would use artillery and fireships to defeat the Ming army, but the bad news came one after another. The fire attack ship did not work, but the Ming bandits' warships drove straight in, and Tanma just sent news that Monga had been lost, and the villagers fled here like cháo water.

What to do? Zeng Yuming turned his head and saw the cannons on the position. He clenched his fists violently, "I didn't lose, I still have artillery, I want to use artillery to bombard the Ming army." ”

By this time, the sky was already light, and the morning light was shrouded in the field. In the Ming army's position north of Dadaocheng, two mortars had long been aimed at the Qing army's artillery position. Hearing the gunfire and shouts of killing in the south getting closer and closer, Li Da immediately ordered the artillery to open fire, and heard two sharp whistles that tore through the air, followed by two roars, and a ball of fire rose from the artillery position of the Qing army.

As soon as Zeng Yuming's heart was pinched, the Ming army fired two more shells, and with a loud "boom", one shell hit the powder keg of the Qing artillery position, and a huge fireball immediately rose from the Qing artillery position.

The artillery position exploded, and the whole battalion of the Qing army was shocked. Just when the Qing army on the shore was panicking, on the Tamsui River, Chen Yu rushed directly to the Qing army's water village with four coast guard boats.

Although the Qing Army's naval division had 12 warships and 6 or 700 officers and men on board, they had been taught a lesson by the coast guard ships yesterday and had just learned the power of the Ming army's landing craft, and they all lost the courage to fight from top to bottom.

Although Li Chaoan tried his best to stabilize the troops and calm the panic of the soldiers. However, the sudden assault of the coast guard ship completely disrupted the position of the Green Battalion Water Division.

Seeing that the Ming warship was killed, the guns and bullets flew "bang bang", the soldiers on the deck threw down their weapons and ran, the long legs had already rushed to the shore, and the officers and soldiers who had no time to run either hid in the depths of the cabin or jumped into the water to flee for their lives.

The coast guard shouted "those who surrender will not die", rushed onto the ship of the Qing army's sailors, and quickly lifted the resistance of the Qing army's sailors and controlled the Qing army's water village.

At the same time as the coast guard ships attacked the Qing army's water village, all the firewood piled up outside the Qing army's camp was ignited by the Ming army, and Huang Pengfei and his troops also launched an attack on the Qing army.

"Bang bang bang!" The Ming army put their guns and formed a skirmish line, slowly pressing towards the Dadaocheng military camp from the north.

The sāo movement spread like a flood of the Qing army camp in the Qing army, first in two, then in groups of three or five, and the soldiers in the camp soon broke through the resistance of the officers' swords and guns and ran south.

"Quick, follow me!"

Zeng Yuming is worthy of being a veteran, and at a critical juncture, he personally led his men and horses to defend the north wall of the camp. In the firelight, Zeng Yuming's figure was particularly clear.

Huang Pengfei raised Mosin-Nagant is shot, and Zeng Yuming immediately fell in a pool of blood. The Qing soldiers on the wall fell to the ground one after another, and the Qing soldiers who did not die made a decision almost at the same time: "Run!" ”

When they ran out of the camp, the team dispersed, and thousands of people rushed towards Monga. Before they had gone two miles, the fleeing soldiers were met by the villagers who were running from Monga, and there were gunshots and shouts of "those who descend will not die" from the south.

Some people are more clever, and they turn around and run to the Tamsui River in the west and the Keelung River in the east, wanting to wade across the river.

At this time, it was already dawn, and four coast guard ships and two landing craft lined up on the river on the Tamsui River, intercepting them along the river. There are also six coast guard boats on the Keelung River to conduct a cordon along the river. Seeing a soldier running bravely to the river, the Ming soldiers on the boat shouted loudly while shooting warnings, "Those who surrender will not die!" ”

Under the deterrence of the powerful force of the Ming army, the soldiers of the green battalion and Xiang Yong in the encirclement slowly raised their hands and knelt on the ground.

By noon, the Ming army had taken in 6,500 prisoners. From Monga to Dadaocheng, there were corpses and discarded flags, armor and weapons everywhere.

After lunch, Qiu Feng entered Monga with a company and directly took over the Cheng Yamen of Monga County.
