The temporary defeat of the naval division could not stop the advance of the Zheng army, and on 22 August, the main force of the Zheng army advanced to the line of Guangji Bridge, and then confronted the main force of the Qing army advancing eastward.

Guangji Bridge, commonly known as Xiangzi Bridge, was originally founded by the Taishou Zengjiang River in the seventh year of Song Qiandao (1171), and was originally a pontoon bridge, which was connected by eighty-six giant ships and became the original name of "Kangji Bridge". After successive dynasties, the stone pier stone bridge was built to replace the pontoon bridge, after three dynasties of more than 340 years, not only added and repaired, but also in the eighth year of Zhengde (1513), the final connection was completed by the famous minister Tan Lun, forming the unique style of the so-called "eighteen shuttle ships and twenty-four continents".

Qing Shunzhi ten years, Chaozhen general Hao Shangjiu, anti-Qing returned to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing general Geng Jimao led the Manchu Han soldiers 100,000 to surround Chaozhou City, Guangji Bridge was destroyed by the soldiers, after several repairs in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi (1685) finally restored the old view. However, because the Guangji Bridge is the most convenient road connecting the east and west of the Hanjiang River, the first target of the Zheng army's attack on Chaozhou this time is still this ancient bridge that has gone through more than 500 years of wind and rain, and the Qing army is also well aware of the importance of the Guangji Bridge, so more than half of the total troops are deployed here.

On August 23, the Zheng army's naval division made a comeback, and when the ship passed through Fenghuangzhou, it was shelled by the Qing army who landed on the island overnight, but fortunately, due to the difficulty of carrying heavy artillery, the Qing army could only transport some light artillery to the continent, so it did not cause large losses to the Zheng gunboats, but after this change, the Zheng gunboats had to withdraw again.

Seeing that the naval division was unable to break the blockade of the Qing army, on August 24, Zheng Kezhang landed on Aotouzhou on the front line of Longxi with the first regiment of the right-firing division, and then immediately besieged Chenghai County to the south. Due to the Qing court's sealing order, in fact, Chenghai County is only a ruined city, only scattered dozens of residents, so it is impossible to stop the attack of the Zheng army, Zheng army soldiers bloodless after taking the city, then with the two posts of the Kunlun slave army garrison, the main force swept north, and finally arrived at the northernmost Shangshuitou of Douzhou on the third day, and built a number of artillery fortifications in Shangshuitou that directly hit the river.

At the same time that the headquarters of the Right Shooting Division was carrying out military operations in Douzhou, the Zheng army also tentatively launched an attack on the Qing army in the east of the bridge, but the Qing army could not take advantage of the hilly terrain of Bijia Mountain, Jinshan and other places to defend it, and Zheng Kezang, who was unwilling to use the main force to fight hard with the Qing army, could only wait patiently for the good news on the river.

On 28 August, Zheng's army transported four three-and-a-half-inch field guns to Douzhou, and then the naval division once again traced the river and approached the line of Fenghuangzhou. The Qing army supervised the battalion of the standard water division to attack again, but was attacked by the Zheng army by land and water, which used its own way to govern its people, and the Qing army was caught off guard, and as a result, nearly ten warships were lost and forced to flee. The Zheng gunboats then opened fire on Fenghuangzhou, forcing the Qing army to abandon their artillery positions and flee to Jiangxi. Zheng was able to erect a pontoon bridge over the Dongxi River and transport a regiment of troops to the island before sunset.

Wu Xingzuo, Baiyin Dali and others knew that the change of hands in Phoenix Continent would make Zheng Jun's gunboats go straight to the bottom of the Guangji Bridge, and whether Zheng Jun shelled the Chaozhou City Wall or broke the Guangji Bridge itself, it would put the Qing army in a situation of disregard, so the Qing army decided to send troops to Dengzhou overnight to compete with the Zheng army. That night, by the bright moonlight, Li Linlong, the commander of the Guangdong Army Division, personally supervised more than 2,000 people from the Huanggang Xiezuo Battalion, Huilai Battalion, Raoping Battalion and other troops to ascend Phoenix Continent, and the Qing army in Shangzhou went straight to the Phoenix Terrace controlled by Zheng Jun non-stop, so a night battle broke out.

"Lord." Outside the military tent, a messenger guard was calling urgently, and finally heard the movement in the tent, and the guard hurriedly replied. "The Qing army attacked Fenghuangzhou urgently, the headquarters of the high command was trapped in Fenghuangtai, and the Dongxi pontoon bridge had already ignited a fire."

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Zheng Kezang, who had just approved a middle coat, walked out, and the sky in the west was already red.

However, before Zheng Kezhang gave the order, there was a rumbling cannon sound from the direction of the front camp, is this a full-scale counterattack by the Qing army? Zheng Kezang couldn't help frowning. After waiting for a while, several military envoys successively sent the latest military reports, but it was confirmed that part of Zheng Kezang's property was confirmed, and the Qing troops from all walks of life in Qiaodong launched attacks one after another, but some of them were true and some were false, but it was not the prelude to a full-scale war. In addition, what reassured Zheng Kezhang even more was that the commanders of the Zheng army's divisions in front of him were all veterans, but they were familiar with dealing with such an attack, and they would not let the Qing army take advantage of it at all.

"Give the water division an order." Since he didn't want to estimate the frontal enemy, Zheng Kezang's attention was withdrawn, and he thought for a moment and ordered. "Why don't you understand that they are shelling near Phoenix Terrace? Do you want to repeat it again? Zheng Kezhang glared at the dumbfounded guard. I can't afford to pay the summons! ”

The guards ran away, and then the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Zheng Kezhang returned to his military tent at this time, compared with Zhu Jin, who was indulging in pleasure and had never personally commanded the troops, Zheng Kezang's military life was much more fortunate, but he was the lord of the domain after all, and the eunuchs of the attendants had already cooked tea for him.

Zheng Kezang squinted his eyes and tasted tea, a glass of water had not yet been swallowed, and the roar of thunder resounded, Zheng Kezang didn't need to look to know that at this moment, the large lead bullets dragging the orange-red tail flame were smashing into the most densely populated places one after another

"Double shotgun." Gu Ming shouted at the recruits who had just been transformed from captives, and his loud voice louder than the sound of artillery was like a slam blow to make the new annexed army understand the situation in front of him, although he may not be willing to obey the command of the veteran of the Zheng army, but knowing that the Qing army would not scruple about the identity of his former colleagues, several new annexed troops immediately woke up like a dream and got busy. "Put!"

Almost at the same time as Gu Ming's voice landed, the body of the two-and-a-half-inch cannon retreated, and the twenty-four lead bullets turned into a torrential rain in an instant, beating the Qing army's offensive that had opened the gap and rushed in. However, the wailing wounded could not discourage the Qing army, and hundreds of Qing troops then flocked to the place.

A dull whistle suddenly sounded, and before the people who were fighting each other at the cost of their lives could pay attention, the Grim Reaper fell from the sky. Although the power of the solid bullet was limited, as soon as the bullet hit, the two people who were still entangled were smashed into a puddle of flesh and mud between breaths. The Grim Reaper, who had received the sacrifice, seemed not satisfied, and then jumped up again, stumbling through a blood-colored alley through the crowd, ignoring the fact that several of them were from the same camp.

There was a sudden temporary pause on both sides of the battle, but the Grim Reaper who broke through the sky didn't care so much, one shot, another shot, although it was not accurate, but the crowd huddled in a pile was the best target, and after a while, several terrifying hollows appeared on the entire front.

"Straight lady thief, how did the sailor shoot the cannon." Gu Ming and his peers, who were cursing in their mouths, did not care about retreating to a safe place at the moment - in fact, as the pontoon bridge was burned down by the Qing army, they had no way to retreat - and while the Qing army's offensive was once again stopped, they shot as much ammunition as possible. "No matter, life and death are fateful, since Lord Yama hasn't accepted us for the time being, let's pull some more cushions"

"The military gate, I can't hold it." The deputy general of Rao Pingying pleaded with a sad face to Li Linlong, who was also sweating profusely. "Hai Reverse is crazy, even his own people are shelled, the dead and wounded of the brothers, they can't fight anymore, Junmen, let's retreat first."

"Withdraw?" A fierce expression appeared on Li Linlong's face. "The two armies are fighting very urgently, do you dare to shake the morale of the army at this moment?" Li Linlong grinned and sneered. "Pull it down, cut it!" The lieutenant general was shocked, but the Goshkha did not give him a chance to argue, and dragged the lieutenant who begged for mercy all the way down, and soon a bloody head was offered in front of Li Linlong. "Whoever leads the battalion and advocates retreating without permission is guilty of the same crime."

The head of the deputy general of the Rao Ping battalion really stimulated the struggle of the Qing army, and the Qing soldiers, who had regained their blood, rushed forward again, but at this time the Zheng army had barely organized several rows of infantry and fired several volleys. With the cover of the platoon, more Zheng Jun's infantry players gathered, and at this time, Zheng Jun's strict training in the past showed results, and the infantry fighters who had disrupted the establishment automatically lined up in a row, taking turns to fire, and the movements were as smooth as a machine reciprocating.

"Slow!" Hearing the sound of the gradually orderly platoon in the direction of the beacon tower, Tang Xin, who commanded the gunboat, immediately stopped his own ship from continuing the shelling. "Send a signal to the [Rush] to reduce the charge." The so-called mistake is a thousand miles, so that the cannonballs fired by the ships of the [Mengshi] are not enough to shoot to the Phoenix Terrace, but it is not the Qing army that can hit the periphery, and it depends on luck. "In addition, the ships slowly detoured to the northwest, trying to knock all the broken ships of the Qing captives into the water."

Tang Xin didn't know that not long after his order was issued, the Zheng gunboat, which was shooting while moving, hit the supreme headquarters of the Qing army in Dengzhou with a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, although Admiral Li Linlong himself was unscathed, but the four friends in the camp tent, the six named military attachés and the two military patrols outside the tent were not killed or wounded, this effect not only made Li Linlong's command in chaos, but also greatly demoralized some Qing officers and soldiers who were always paying attention to the rear.

But what really made Li Linlong waver in his determination to continue the attack was the artillery bombardment of the battalion of the Governor Sailor Division after bypassing the Phoenix Terrace and breaking into the Xixi River of Hanjiang. In view of the forced evacuation of the naval division battalion, Li Linlong, who was afraid that he would become a lone army, had to withdraw the attacking troops from the first line, and the Zheng army garrison did not dare to attack at will, so this night battle came to an end, and the losses of the land divisions on both sides were more than 500 people, which can be said to be a draw, as for the naval division, the Qing army lost two civilian ships, but most of the strength was basically intact, so the Zheng army and the naval division did not dare to pursue at night, and the two sides were invincible and undefeated, and continued to maintain the pre-war pattern.

"Order the remaining troops of the Right Shooting Division to land on Phoenix Island overnight." After waiting for half a night, Zheng Kezang, who finally waited for the desired result, ordered. "Since Qiaodong can't be attacked, then let Qingyu continue to lose blood in Phoenix Continent."
