As the name suggests, Xigang is the westernmost port on the inner sea of the Taijiang River, and the reason why Shi Lang used this place as the landing place of the main force instead of choosing the closer Yanshui Creek and Zeng Wenxi's estuary was of course due to his own considerations: because of the existence of zài*, Shi Lang learned that although Zeng Wenxi Kou was the closest to Chengtianfu, it was adjacent to the mountainous area, and the army was not suitable for deployment; The tributaries of Salt Water Creek are criss-crossed, the estuary is cut messily, and there are small sandbanks, and it is also difficult to arrange a large army; As for the big ranking word is very loud but in fact it is only a small fish port on the side of the West Port, the sea surface is extremely narrow, and more than a dozen boats have been tightly blocked to grab the beach, if tens of thousands of people go to land, it is estimated that it will not be completed in one day and one night, which makes it possible for the Qing army to be repelled one by one by the Zheng army who are waiting for work.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Shi Lang finally chose Xigang, which was open to the sea and easy for the army to go ashore and easy to be supported by gunboats, as the main landing site. Of course, the reason for choosing Xigang is also because Xigang is close to Jialixing, the state capital of Tianxing Prefecture, and from Shi Lang's point of view, the influence of capturing a state city will put him in a favorable position in the next battle.

However, knowing that the Qing army might have the idea of capturing Tianxing Prefecture, Zheng Kezhang could not defend the state city to the death - the Qing army was overwhelming, and it was completely possible to break through the reinforcements after besieging the city, so as to achieve the same effect as directly taking Chengtianfu - so since he had judged the main force of the Qing army and its purpose, Zheng Kezhang naturally responded.

Zheng Kezang's demarcation site is a place called betel nut forest, which is the main road from Xigang to Tianxing Prefecture, the west side of the dirt road is a betel nut forest that stretches to the sea, and the east side is an unobstructed rice field, in addition to a kneeless river called Hanxi Port running through it, although the terrain is not dangerous, but with the help of betel nut forest to keep the side of the scouts from being attacked, so as to achieve the purpose of saving troops.

Before that, Zheng Kezhang gathered more than 1,000 soldiers in the second town of Yongwei Army and Wuchong Town, but these soldiers were all lost, the army was unstable, and they were almost unbearable to fight, so Zheng Kezhang sent several flying fish suits and swordfish service guards to rectify them in the rear formation, and moved to the betel nut forest as a suspicious soldier.

Soon after the Boy Scouts laid down and built a simple artillery fort, more than 5,000 Qing army forwards arrived from Xigang, and there was almost no pause in between, and the two sides fought together. The Qing army was well aware of the power of the Zheng army's firearms, so they tried to disperse the Zheng army's firearms troops in front of them with bird guns, and then opened the passage with melee hand-to-hand combat to crush the Zheng army's defense line with superior forces.

However, the Boy Scouts had already responded to this, and the two-inch artillery teams under the first town took the lead in firing, and at a distance of 150 to 120 paces, the two-inch guns aimed directly at them were almost completely missed, and the Qing army's bird guns suffered heavy losses, and more importantly, the close formation of the Qing army was destroyed, so most of the guns fired by a small number of Qing troops were lost.

It's a pity that the first standard of the boy scouts only has three two-inch guns, even if the two-inch artillery team in the town's artillery battalion and the two-inch artillery team belonging to the Kunlun standard are added, the entire front is only twelve two-inch guns, the artillery is small and small, and the water in the rice field is slippery, basically unable to form an effective ricochet, so it failed to cause greater losses to the Qing army.

Seeing that the bird gun team failed to work, the Qing army simply used its strength to convince people, and more than 2,000 Qing troops charged together, and there were black and oppressive human heads everywhere, and the scene was spectacular. Seeing that the Qing army was trying to win with brute force, the rest of the troops of the First Town Artillery Battalion hidden in the rear at this time finally couldn't hold it back, and six three-inch guns then joined the chorus, causing a lot of losses to the Qing army at once.

"Damn it!" Zhao Bangcheng, who led the charge and guarded the right battalion of Tong'an City, cursed loudly. "How can the cannon of the sea fight so fast?" However, his curses were quickly drowned out by the sound of cannons, guns, and shouts of his own side, so that he could only swing his sword at the end. "Rush, rush up to Lao Tzu"

After entering fifty steps, the scout's deer gun fired a beautiful salvo, and the powerful lead bullet not only pierced the bodies of the lightly armored and unarmored Qing soldiers, but even caused a bullet to penetrate the two people, turning the Qing army on their backs in a moment, and the dead and dying Qing soldiers twisted their bodies to cause a lot of obstacles to the latecomers.

In addition to these strange-looking corpses and wounded, the slippery rice fields actually slowed down the speed of the Qing army's impact, originally within fifty paces, no matter how trained Scout shooters could not shoot three times, but now, any shooter can easily shoot three times, and even hit four times the double effect.

The Qing army finally stepped into the port of Hanxi, and as long as they crossed this ten-step wide river, they could appear in front of Zheng Jun. At this time, the scout shooters calmly put away the bracket and turned to the back of the formation, and two thin rows of guns appeared in front of the Qing army. Although a few Qing generals knew the power of this gun array from the mouth of Wu Ying's troops besieging the fort of North Shanwei Island, most of the Qing army did not know about it at all, and even those who understood it and thought it was the exaggeration of the loser, and they did not care about it at all, so it was their turn to suffer themselves this time.

"Kill!" Before the Qing soldiers stepped on the soft soil on the opposite bank, the spears beyond imagination stabbed over, some people blocked it, some people slipped their feet to dodge, and more people were pierced in stunned, and the blood instantly dyed the river red, but this was not over, the first row of spearmen who retreated sideways gave way to the passage, and the Qing army that had not yet come back to their senses ushered in the second wave of spurs. "Kill!" Then came the first row that was back in place, and then the second row. "Kill! Kill"

Because of the need to spread out the gun array as much as possible, the Boy Scouts' front was actually very thin, so a few Qing troops with superb combat skills dodged several waves of assassination and crashed into the ranks of the spearmen. Before they could pick up their swords, they were about to take revenge, and a shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. Seeing the two big rattan plaques smashed up, the Qing soldiers just wanted to dodge or split, but the spearmen who reacted stabbed again from an unexpected angle, and after a snort, the screams were held in the abdominal cavity

Although the frontal attack of the Qing army failed, but a roundabout army of seven or eight hundred people had appeared on the flank of the boy scouts, and Jiang Maoxun, the deputy general of the Fujian Security Association, who saw this scene from afar, showed a smug smile on his face, and waved his hand to signal all the remaining troops to be charged, but before his order was issued, there was an accident in the roundabout troops.

"Kill all these Tartar lackeys." Luan Yiwei's cavalry camp and the Boy Scouts' cavalry were mostly just a façade, but this was not what they wanted, and now that the Qing army had given them a chance to show their skills, they naturally wanted to use it to prove their bravery. "None of them will be left."

The heavily nailed war horses sprinted steadily on the rice fields, although the speed was not very fast, but the deterrent power was amazing, and several of them were tall horses from Europa, and the one-man tall war horses put on the vests were simply the chariots of this era, rampage, invincible in the roundabout Qing army.

Speaking of which, the Qing army is not without a horse team, but the people have not finished getting off the boat, so how can these big animals get off the boat, so the horse team of more than 800 people is all left at the end, so the Qing army, which can only use people against horses, can be regarded as suffering a big loss.

Of course, the Qing army also tried their best to fight back, but the fire rope of the bird gun was wet with splashing water, and the bows and arrows shot were unable to pierce the chain mail worn by the cavalry, and the other side only caused a number of casualties per unit by all means, and in this case, no matter how brave the warrior was, he could only run away.

"Run!" But it was not easy to escape, with the advantage of speed, the Qing troops who turned around and fled were cut to the ground by the Zheng cavalry one by one, and only 12 out of 10 could escape

"You're damned!" Shi Lang, who arrived with the follow-up troops, took over the command as soon as possible, and then he slapped Jiang Maoxun when he learned about the battle situation. "Why don't you continue to send people to attack the Zheng army's front, a team of only 2,000 people can withstand your several attacks?" Shi Lang drank violently. "Take it, cut it down, and pass it on to the first army."

Jiang Maoxun pleaded loudly, but Shi Lang was unmoved, and soon a bloody head was raised, and the generals looked at each other, but Shi Lang had a solemn face, speaking of which, he only had more than 20,000 Qing troops in his hands, including five or six thousand adapted from the Zheng army of Toucheng.

"Xiamen Town." Shi Lang ordered. "You immediately lead another three thousand to attack, and you must break the enemy who is blocking you in front of you." Yang Jiarui took the order and left, and Shi Lang continued to order. "The foreign commission guards Shi Zhaofu, Shi Zhaoxun, and Shi Zhaozan." Three Shi out of the column, Shi Lang commanded. "The three of you will lead five hundred troops to the betel nut forest to open the way." After the three Shi Lang's relatives retreated with their families, Shi Lang ordered again. "With the expedition to the left governor He Yi, the governor Chen Python." Two high-ranking officers stood up, and Shi Lang took out the map drawn by * and pointed it out to the two of them. "The terrain here is flat, and it is impossible for the sea to be able to cover all aspects with few soldiers, you two lead 2,000 people to detour behind the enemy, you might as well detour a little farther, and the sea will definitely not be guarded."

There were about 22,000 Qing troops landing from Xigang, of which almost 4,000 were still being sorted out, so Shi Lang could only use 18,000 people. Of these 18,000 people, 3,000 have been used by Shi Lang to guard against the Zheng army that broke through the platoon from behind, and Jiang Maoxun has just lost nearly 2,000 people, so the above 5,500 people account for almost half of Shi Lang's total strength.

Shi Lang, who could bet half of his belongings, still felt that it was not enough, but the front of the boy scouts was narrow, and he couldn't invest more troops, so Shi Lang ordered again: "With the Beacon Battalion guerrilla Wang Zuochang led 500 people to continue to outflank the Hai Rebellion. ”

Shi Lang is preparing to use Wang Zuochang's 500 men as cannon fodder to attract the cavalry of the Zheng army, and use He Yi and Chen Python's troops as cover for a larger detour: "Zhan Liuqi, deputy general of the Jiangdong Association, and Li Quanxin, a guerrilla guerrilla of the Pinghai land battalion, led 2,000 people to follow Yang Zhen. ”

While arranging the attack, Shi Lang did not forget the rear team that was still being rectified: "Urge Haitan Town to bring the rear team to come immediately." ”

After a series of orders were issued, Shi Lang raised his monoculars and looked at the position of the Boy Scouts, gritting his teeth and roaring: "This official wants to see if the fish is dead or the net is broken today."
