The Qing army, who had been waiting for Wu Qijue for a long time and did not return, sent people to find the wall again, but they saw the stacked heads of Chengjing and the declaration written in blood under the heads, and the frightened Qing army did not dare to stay for a long time, and then fled back. biquge.info Shi Lang was furious when he heard the news - although Wu Qijue was looking for death by himself, Shi Lang could not explain to Kangxi - in a fit of rage, he immediately ordered his men to land on North Shanwei Island to expel the boy scouts on the island.
However, the section of North Shanwei Island near Luermen is a rocky shoal, and there are many dense miscellaneous trees and thorns in the middle of the belt-shaped island, which is not suitable for marching troops, so the Qing army can only land from the line of the commercial port in the south of the island. As a result, just before the afternoon of this day, more than 70 warships transported nearly 1,000 Qing troops flocked to the land.
Knowing that there was a wall outside the commercial port, after arriving on the island, the Qing army rushed into the British merchant house to cut down trees and tear down the door, and waited until the time was over to tentatively attack one of the walls. However, the garrison scouts had already noticed the movement of the Qing army, and the scouts, who numbered only 300 people, did not fight hard with the other side, and directly abandoned the wall and retreated to the artillery fortress to hold on, and the Qing army was able to advance smoothly to an open area.
Wu Ying, the chief soldier of Xinghua Town, was the commander of this Qing army, and when he saw the open space that suddenly appeared in front of him, he knew that it was not good, but it was impossible for him to retreat at this point, so he ordered a capital division to take more than 100 people to explore the road first. Du Si rushed over with a team of Qing troops, only to find dozens of Boy Scout soldiers waiting for them with firearms in front of them. These Qing troops either defected from the Zheng army or experienced the battles of Zhangzhou and other battles, and knew how powerful the Zheng army was, but they had no choice but to start shooting arrows from a distance, hoping to interfere with the shooters of the scouts.
Eighty or fifty paces, seeing that the Qing army had entered his own firing range, the team leader ordered: "Volley!" ”
Almost at the same explosion, the Qing army that rushed forward fell to the ground, but the scout gunners did not care to check their results, but just quickly reloaded according to the outline of the lesson, thirty steps, the Qing army had rushed to within thirty steps, and it happened that the scouts had completed reloading.
"Shoot in turn from squad to class." After an order, three equally deafening sounds, only half of the enemy was left in front of the Boy Scouts, and it was too late to reload at this time, the Boy Scouts gave way to the back, and a team of black soldiers who made many Qing soldiers tremble appeared from behind, and with the same order, dozens of clay pots similar to earth-shattering thunder smashed over. "Boom!"
From a distance, watching Kunlun Biao chop off the head of the injured Qing soldier with a long-handled axe, Wu Ying, who had been promoted to the governor of Sichuan and the commander of the Fujian Navy Division because of his platform merits, had a blue face on his face, he turned his head and looked left and right, there was a dense circle of bamboo sticks buried on the side, although it was not impossible to pass through guò, but the speed would definitely slow down to the unbearable Cheng Dù happened to become the target of the other party, so that he could only kill from this small opening.
"Li Yin!" Wu Ying ordered at the foreign garrison beside him. "You bring it up for a while." Li Yin took the order with a slumped face and counted a team of people, and at this time, Wu Ying walked in front of these people. "Don't be afraid, the big guys of Zheng Rei's tactics just now have also seen it, there are few of them, we can pile them to death."
The Qing army made a comeback, and the Boy Scouts still used two rounds of firearms, killing and wounding many Qing troops, and even Li Yin, who took the lead in the charge, was killed on the spot by tearing open his chest with a gun, but this Qing army had no chance to retreat, because Wu Ying sent a second team to block their escape route.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the Qing army had no choice but to move forward desperately, and at this time, a group of boy scouts formed a gun formation and appeared in the original position of the musketeers. Rulin's three spears seemed to be a strange python with fangs and was preparing for a fatal blow, but the Qing troops in the rear and the front team couldn't escape at all, so the collision happened.
"Kill!" Fifteen spears were pierced unanimously under the order of the squad leader, like a huge wave coming from the sky, although the Qing army tried their best to block, but still seven or eight people were pierced through the body at once and let out a terrible shout.
The Qing army was about to take advantage of the opportunity of the scouts' guns to get close to their bodies, but they didn't think that this group of scouts vigorously turned their guns back with one hand, and at the same time, on the side of their bodies, the fifteen guns of the second squad stabbed them again. The blood flowers brought out from the wounded when the gun was collected and the sour popping sound made by the spear that had recently pierced the human body constituted a terrifying scene, but this scene was not over, the boy scouts of the third squad stabbed up again, the gun array was rolling, flashing to the side, but the fire team used bamboo sticks as a barrier to slowly load, snipe, and after a while, the Qing army with a stream of urine and urine once again dropped nearly a hundred corpses and dozens of wounded people and retreated, and these wounded unsurprisingly became the best object of the Kunlun standard mending knife.
"Bastard!" Wu Ying was about to order his subordinates to launch a third attack, but all the frightened faces appeared in front of him, Wu Ying was furious, and drew his sword and pointed at a Du Sidao. "You, you lead someone to charge again."
Du Si cried with a sad face: "Headquarters, the sea backfire weapon is sharp, I'm afraid that the vine armor soldiers are not easy to deal with, and they need to use a shotgun to deal with it." ”
According to the plan of the military department at the beginning of the 21st year of Kangxi, each battalion on the land route in Fujian Province is divided into 20 teams per 1,000 soldiers, including four teams of archers on horseback, two teams of archers under the foot, ten teams of shotguns, a team of artillery, a team of rattan soldiers, and a team of broadsword soldiers.
The number of shotguns accounted for half of the whole army, and the Qing court also attached great importance to the training of muskets, which stipulated as early as the eleventh year of Shunzhi (1654): "Every spring, the Eight Banners Forward Guard, the horse infantry, all ordered to shoot, and play the bird guns, erected in the land of forty-one bows, each person put ten shots, more than one shot, each gun will be rewarded with five dollars of silver, and more than eight shots will be rewarded with three taels of silver." During the Kangxi period, there were also detailed training subjects such as horse shooting, forward shooting, chain rotation shooting, kneeling shooting, supine shooting, etc., and not only in the Beijing Eight Banners, but also in the provinces of the Eight Banners and Green Battalions.
Wu Ying immediately increased his forehead with his palm, that's right, he was so angry that he forgot that he still had the same sharp weapon in his hand, so he quickly mobilized two teams of shotgunners, using bird guns as cover, and the third attack of the Qing army began.
Because the power of the shotgun is average, but the range is longer than that of the Zheng army's deer gun, when the Qing army's bird gun is seen from a distance, the boy scouts, who have no capital to consume, immediately retreat. Seeing the difficult boy scouts withdraw from their positions, Wu Ying was overjoyed and immediately commanded the shotgun team to take the lead, and the rest of the troops followed.
But Wu Ying didn't have long to be complacent, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, and then a cannonball dragged the white gunpowder smoke, and rushed into the Qing army column, instantly opening a blood-colored passage. Seeing this scene, Wu Ying opened his mouth, but before he could recall the departments, two more shells flew over, and then they jumped and smashed down.
In fact, the Boy Scouts only had a two-inch artillery team here, and three four-pounder cannons, but this was enough, and the Qing army came from afar, and the artillery carried by them were all 800 pounds of marine heavy guns, and they were not suitable for disassembly, so they were unable to face the firepower of the Boy Scouts. At this time, seeing that the formation of the Qing army was already chaotic, the boy scouts who had just retreated turned around and killed them with a shout, first a volley, and then dozens of earth-shattering thunders. When the splashed pottery shards were still creating chaos in the Qing army, the gun array and the axe team came out together, and the Qing army was immediately defeated. Wu Ying also wanted to gather his subordinates to stabilize his position, but was disrupted by the rout soldiers who were being chased and killed by the Boy Scouts, and had no choice but to flee. The Qing army trampled and pushed each other, and even the Fujian provincial soldiers and the newly attached Zheng army killed each other, and as a result, corpses were everywhere all the way. Fortunately, the Boy Scouts did not dare to pursue too much because of their insufficient troops, so Wu Ying had a chance to breathe, and after fleeing back to the commercial port, he regrouped the remnants of the army, but the casualties and disappearances of more than 500 people made Wu Ying lose face.
Ashamed, Wu Ying had to send someone to Shi Lang for help, for such a result, Shi Lang was also greatly surprised, immediately allocated another 500 people to hand over to Wu Ying, and at the same time authorized him to use the method of fatigue on the small number of boy scouts, but the scouts ignored them from afar, and waited for them with guns and cannons when they were near, and the Qing army had nothing to do for a while.
"The military gate, the sea is fierce and stubborn, and it can be supplemented by the southern channel, Wu Zongzhen is difficult to conquer for a while, why don't the military gate go north from Luermen?" The northern part of Luermen was originally a nameless desert island, but with the siltation of sediment, it gradually became a piece with the northern headland, so Chen Long, the chief soldier of Kinmen Town, had such a suggestion.
"Lord Chen thinks that this official transferred troops to seize Beishanwei Island just to avenge Lord Wu?" Shi Lang shook his head and explained to Long Chen and the generals of the Qing army who were in the place. "This officer is to make Na Zhu Qin firmly believe that this army will enter the bay from the South Channel." Shi Lang paused for a few people to digest his speech, and only after everyone showed thoughtful expressions did he continue. "The terrain north of Luermen is rugged and narrow, and it is not suitable for a large army to go on land, besides, Zhu Qinxiao'er has transferred 10,000 people to wait there, why should this official let Zhu Qin Ruyi?"
Everyone knows what the situation of the Zheng army is now, so the 10,000 people of Zuohuwei and other departments are not enough to worry Shi Lang, but Shi Lang is worried that once he exposes the landing destination, the 10,000 people of the Hong Gongzhu in the north will also rush over, plus the main force of Zheng Kezang's boy scouts and the right military guard, and the Qing army does not bring infantry artillery and other equipment, once the battle drags on, it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said, it is not as good as the Tongguò Luermen waterway he envisioned suddenly the Taijiang Inland Sea shocked the Ming Zheng side in one fell swoop, even if Zheng Kezhang still had to resist to the end at that time, The Qing army can also have an external line to turn into a civil war, first seize Chengtianfu under the condition of occupying the initiative, then besiege Anping City, and finally defeat the Zheng army that came to help from all walks of life with ease and waiting, and completely wipe out the last resistance of the Zheng family.
"Your Excellency, you must have understood the intentions of the Lord." Shi Lang swept the audience, and when he saw that no one had any objections, he immediately ordered. "Order Wu Ying, person, give it to him, to the point where the movement is going to make trouble, no matter whether you can take the artillery fort on North Shanwei Island or not, at least you can't let the sea rebellion stop"
