In the 39th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, the 24th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and on August 13, the Qing and Zheng armies ushered in a decisive battle at the entrance of Beijing Avenue in Lehui County, Qiongzhou Prefecture after a small confrontation that lasted for more than a month. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) is a service, the Qing army invested more than 13,000 soldiers in the green battalion of Guangdong, Guizhou and Hunan provinces and the garrison of the Eight Banners in Guangzhou, and more than 4,000 people in Qiongbei Township, while the Zheng army only has three divisions of Zuo, Right Yongwei and Zuo Longxiang, counting seven regiments and a team directly under the three divisions, with a total of less than 6,000 combat soldiers.

As soon as the battle began, the Qing army bombarded the Zheng army's front with Hongyi artillery, trying to break up the Zheng army's formation in order to facilitate the next move. However, the Zheng army relied on a number of discontinuous low walls cast of cement as cover, so that most of the Qing army's artillery fire was lost, and the few hits were also blocked by the low walls, which failed to cause serious damage. Of course, the artillery fire of the Qing army also had a very small number of direct hits on the target, but the tenacious Zheng army still gritted his teeth and held on.

After shelling for half an hour, in order to prevent the artillery from exploding due to overheating, the Qing army stopped shelling. At this time, the Qing army, with 2,000 people on the left, center and right as the vanguard, had slowly advanced to a place less than 200 steps away from the Zheng army, and it seemed that they could break through the seemingly thin defense line of the Zheng army with any more strength.

"What the hell is the Qing army doing?" According to common sense, the horse team should have rushed into battle after the artillery bombardment, so as to further aggravate the opponent's confusion, however, there was a lack of qualified war horses in the Guangdong-Guizhou-Hunan region, and there were very few horse teams in the green battalions of the three places, and the Eight Banners, which were known for the bravery of the horse teams in the past, had long been corrupted, so there was a strange scene of the infantry team opening the way for the horse team on the Qing army. "Ignore them, order the artillery to open fire and defeat these traitors!"

After the order was given, lightning and thunder roared, and the battle line of the Zheng army, which once seemed dead and silent, burst out with infinite light and heat. With the firing of lead bullets one after another, the Qing army's originally neat front appeared deformed and cracked. However, at this time, the Qing army had already broken into a hundred steps, and only a shout was heard, and thousands of Qing troops rushed to rush up to the Zheng army's defense line.

Zheng Jun's gunners, who were ordered to turn over and climb the low wall, opened fire in unison, although the accuracy of the deer guns at this distance was extremely poor, but the formation of the Qing army was tight, so due to fate, there were still quite a few Qing troops who fell on the way to charge. Of course, the Zheng army was not unharmed, and under the counterattack of a number of Qing army gunners who followed the charge, hundreds of Zheng army shooters fell from the low wall after being shot, and never got up again.

Closer, recently, it has reached a distance of fifty paces, and at this time, several large boxes were set up by Zheng Jun in turn on the hastily set up rejection horses. Seeing this scene, the older Qing soldiers vaguely remembered something, and subconsciously slowed down, but more Qing soldiers brandished their weapons and rushed closer and closer. A spark flashed from the back end of the big box, and then a screaming sound rang out, and hundreds of sharp arrows fueled by gunpowder shot at the head.

"A hundred tigers are running together!" screaming and crawling with the Qing army, but this is not only a hundred tigers rushing together, thousands of tigers, ten thousand tigers are almost the same, and the trajectory of the rocket out of the nest is difficult to measure at all, and the power of the bow and arrow at this distance has reached the maximum, and the Qing army is not allowed to dodge at all, so almost in an instant, the Qing army in front of the sudden is shot into a large area.

But the strength of the Qing army seems to be endless, the front team is still wailing, and the rear team is following up, seeing that the Zheng army has no time to reset a new swarm of bees, at this time, the Zheng army swords and shields blocked in the gaps in the low walls are quickly throwing earth-shaking thunder outward. Shielded by the countless splashes, smoke and bullet debris from the continuous explosions, the firecracker fired a final round of bullets and retreated to the second low wall.

After the sword and shield men dispersed to the low wall, Zheng Jun's spear team appeared in the place where they got out of the way. The three spears in the dense forest stabbed fiercely, and the Xianggui Green Battalion, which had almost never seen such a long weapon, seemed to be in a forest of guns. In just one round, a lot of blood was lost on all fronts, and the forward formation was a setback.

Although there were also brave people in the Qing army who were not afraid of pain and desperately advanced, bones, shields, swords and axes all went into battle, however, Zheng Jun's guns were more than one row, and a squad of fifty people was stabbing back and forth, forcing the Qing army to retreat at the moment.

At this time, the horse team of the Eight Banners finally rushed up, but before these Manchurian masters could show their skills, the Zheng Jun archers who had retreated to the second low wall thirty paces away spoke again. Due to the decline in physical quality caused by arrogance and lust after entering the customs and the heat in southern Guangdong, the flag soldiers who originally claimed to be able to approve double or even triple cotton armor now only wore single armor, so they often shot at each other, and were beaten to the ground with men and horses.

The flag soldiers who took the green camp as a gray grandson had never suffered such a loss, and immediately shouted, turned around and rushed towards their own way. They took the lead, and the green battalion turned around and ran without showing any weakness, so that the inevitable attack rolled back like a wave behind a rock—the tide receded.

Although the Qing army retreated, the revived Zheng army's artillery fire was unwilling to let them go like this, and after a period of overwhelming baptism, the Qing army left at least hundreds of corpses and more than a number of wounded

The Zheng swords and shieldmen who came out to cut off the head of the Qing army looked like they were showing off their might, and the Qing army generals jumped like thunder, these Xianggui Green Battalion were also proud generals who fought with Wu Sangui and Sun Yanling back then, when did they have such a bag, when even if someone asked He Fu to fight again.

Although He Fu strongly advocated crossing to Qiongzhou to the south to exterminate the Zheng army, he did not and did not want to take risks, and this war was originally forced by the frequent alarms in western Guangdong, and the Guangdong side strictly ordered him to solve the Zheng army in Qiongzhou as soon as possible so that he could immediately transfer north to participate in the war. Seeing that Zheng Jun had good firepower, he intended to stop there, but the army wanted to fight, and he categorically refused, so the Qing army made a comeback after a little rectification. However, the Qing army's offensive method was stiff and the routine was always inconvenient, so although it relied on the superiority in strength to capture two low walls in a row and forced the Zheng army to retreat, in this way, its own casualties also exceeded the 5,000 mark. Seeing that the people seeking war had shed blood, the will of the Qing generals was shaken, and the war came to a stalemate.

But the Qing army did not attack, but the Zheng army found an opportunity, so taking advantage of the Qing officers and soldiers morale frustration, low fighting spirit opportunity, the Zheng army launched a counterattack in a timely manner, and the result was to regain the two low walls lost in one fell swoop, although the Qing army repeatedly fired artillery, but was no longer able to carry out a strong attack, so far, the battle of the day came to an end, although the Zheng army held the position with small casualties, but the Qing army still had the advantage of troops, and the two sides fell back into a stalemate.

At the time of the battle at the mouth of the avenue, according to the plan of the three-way joint attack formulated by He Fu, the Qing army on the east road also marched south from Wenchang County to join the county. At this time, there were only more than 1,000 people in a regiment of Zuo Longxiang's division in the garrison and the county, and the strength was less than a quarter of the Qing army.

The Qing army that stormed into the city was full of ambition and thought victory was imminent, but they were soon hit in the face of several small fortresses that had been demolished and constructed. Since the documents for the victory had been reported to Qiongzhou at the beginning of the city, the Qing army, which was difficult to ride a tiger, could only set fire to the city in an attempt to force the Zheng army out. But Zheng Jun had already built fire barriers, and Qing Army's actions made only a negligible contribution to global warming.

Around the evening of 14 August, an unexpected light rain extinguished the remaining embers of the fire.

Taking advantage of the coolness of the universe, the Qing army planned a night attack, but it was discovered by the Zheng army not long after it was launched, and it could only continue to return in vain.

Just when the main general of the Qing army on the eastern road was helpless in the face of the hedgehog-like Zheng army's fortress, a regiment of the Zheng army's left Yongwei army was transported by the naval division from Changwei Port to land. Although the name of Changkuang Port is called the port, it is an inaccessible seaside beach, and there are only a few fishermen who settle here and there to take shelter from the wind. Zheng soldiers who landed on the ground carried six two-inch guns and artillery wagons through the dense mangrove belt and appeared behind the besieging Qing army overnight.

Although the Qing army also took precautions against a possible night attack by the Zheng army, the focus of the Qing army's defense was on the area south of the county seat, and the Zheng army might as well kill from behind, and there was a great chaos for a while. But the misfortune is not a single thing, the Zuo Longxiang division that is stubbornly defending the county government also took advantage of the situation to kill, and under the internal and external attacks, the Qing army that was caught off guard could not support it, and it was quickly defeated.

Zheng Jun pursued and killed overnight despite fatigue, and Huang Qi, who participated in the battle as a division member, personally led a sentry to return to the sea, and used the sailor to transport it to Qinglan Port in Wenchang to land. At dawn, part of the defeated Qing army appeared in the south of Wenchang City. Before these frightened Qing troops could get a respite, Huang Qi's troops suddenly came out, drove these Qing troops straight into Wenchang, and firmly controlled the south gate of Wenchang.

The Qing army left behind in Wenchang mistakenly thought that the Zheng army was powerful because he heard the rout of the army, and Huang Qi's action at the south gate made him mistakenly judge that he was the vanguard of the Zheng army, so he abandoned the city and fled without a fight, and the Zheng army on the eastern front defeated more than 5,000 Qing troops with a mere force of more than 2,000 people, and occupied the county town of Wenchang to obtain a large number of supplements left by the Qing army.

Wenchang's change of hands made the Qing army exaggerate the strength of the Zheng army, and the Qiongzhou side sent three alarms a day to the front line of Dadaokou to beg He Fu, who had taken all the soldiers and horses, back to Baofu City. He Fu was unable to shake the frontal front of the Zheng army for a while, and he was afraid that he would be surrounded by the Zheng army, and the Qing army on the west road was slow to advance, so in order to be safe in the end, he made the decision to withdraw the army.

On 17 August, He Fu's troops took the initiative to retreat to Qiongzhou, but when they heard that the battle in northern Qiongbei was unfavorable, the Qing army on the front line of gratitude also withdrew to Changhua on 16 August, and the fighting in Qiongzhou was suspended. Not only did the Zheng army get the opportunity to rest and replenish, but they also obtained a considerable amount of supplies from the Qing army, and more importantly, it was the Zheng army that gained the necessary time to resume the operation of relocating the people to Shitai, which had been interrupted by the wind period
