He Zhen's troops, who had previously entered Huizhou to garrison, quietly completed the encirclement of Haifeng and Lufeng, but they did not launch an attack for a long time, not because He Zhen was afraid of the red-haired devils.

But this group of red-haired devils have weapons on par with the Fusang people, and they rashly launched an attack, not only can they not win, but they will also lose their troops, and there must be reinforcements from the artillery battalion to win, and He Zhen is waiting for the support of the artillery battalion.

Ling Jingyang ordered Wu Daling to lead the artillery battalion to secretly enter Huizhou Mansion, and he led the Chinese army behind, with more than 7,000 people in the whole army, as well as 2,000 people who transported grain and grass for the army, and the huge team marched towards Guangdong.

On the official road, Ling Jingyang saw the government in various places, and organized the people to build large-scale projects such as water conservancy, and did not see the government officials oppressing the people along the way, Mi Shengguang worked hard for the people's livelihood, and Ling Jingyang saw it in his eyes, it was time to reuse Mi Shengguang, use his unique sense of smell as a businessman, and carry out vigorous trade in Guangdong to bring materials to the whole army.

After the troops entered the territory of Guangdong, Fan Yunlong, the general of the Jin Sheng Department, had been looking forward to it for a long time, and after Jin Sheng entered the Huizhou Mansion, he vigorously stabilized the local order here, with the backing of He Zhen's soldiers and horses, and he quickly assessed the strength of disobedience.

But after selecting the defense forces in various places, he found that there were more and more red-haired devils in Huizhou Mansion, and the red-haired devils were better equipped than the Ming army, and they all entered Huizhou as mercenaries of merchant He.

He kept writing to the court, asking the court to pay close attention to the red-haired devils in Guangdong, and the court sent him a holy decree, and Ling Jingyang had already led his troops south, and he would expel the red-haired devils side by side in the near future.

With the support of the imperial court, Jin Sheng began to carry out secret operations from the officialdom, he took advantage of He Zhen's garrisons in various places, secretly transferred his henchmen into various places, and found out the officials of Huizhou Mansion and the red-haired devils colluding, and then in the name of the imperial court's household department, invited officials from all over Huizhou to attend a party in Huizhou City on the day Ling Jingyang arrived in Huizhou City.

The night before the banquet, Ling Jingyang led his troops to arrive outside the city of Huizhou, at the banquet, the heavy responsibilities were staggered, and at the climax of the banquet, Jin Sheng gave an order, and hundreds of soldiers rushed into the venue, in Jin Sheng

Under the command, the officials who hooked up with the red-haired devils were tied up, and more than twenty were tied up in one go, and at the same time, Ling Jingyang ordered the troops to enter Huizhou City and launch an attack on the red-haired devils in Huizhou City.

There are not many red-haired devils in the city, only more than 70 people, all of whom live in an inn in the city, and are businessmen who come to Huizhou City to do business, under the leadership of the Ming army in the city, Xu Sheng led the left battalion of the Chinese army to attack, and dozens of red-haired devils used the inn to defend.

The soldiers of the Ming Army thought that this battle would be effortless, but who would have thought that the red-haired devils in the inn were ridiculously strong in combat.

After the battle began, the Ming army and the red-haired devils exchanged fire in the narrow streets, and the rifles used by the red-haired devils were similar to the rifles used by the Fusang devils, which could be quickly loaded and fired.

The Ming army rushed up a group, and a group was killed, at this time Xu Sheng commanded the battle for the first time, he had no experience in this area, so he let the troops be commanded by the deputy, and he studied carefully on the side.

The deputy was an experienced veteran, seeing that the strong attack could not be attacked, he ordered to attack with fire, hundreds of lit torches were thrown at the inn, the inn suddenly thick smoke billowed inside, the red-haired merchant inside quickly extinguished the flames, and continued to fire at the commanding heights of the inn, the Ming army launched an attack when the fire broke out, and was once again repelled by the red hair.

Xu Sheng, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was very surprised, this red-haired devil is even more powerful than the Fusang devil, not only the weapons are comparable to the Fusang devils, but the defense in the inn is also very in place, almost leakless, no matter which direction the Ming army attacks from, it will be repelled by the oncoming rain of bullets.

In order to avoid excessive losses of the army, he finally led the rifle platoon into the battle, the rifle faction only has fifty soldiers, all of them can use rifles, and the marksmanship is not up to the level of sharpshooters, but close to fifty meters, the dense fire still has a high hit rate.

The red-haired devils didn't know that the Ming army would have such a group of people, when the Ming army rushed up again, more than 20 red-haired devils stationed at the commanding heights of the inn, once again poured firepower on the Ming army, and the Ming army at the forefront used a huge wooden shield to resist the bullets, barely withstanding the penetration of some bullets, but there were still some soldiers who were killed and wounded, and the red-haired devils saw that the rifle was not very lethal, so they were frenzied and launched an attack with grenades, dozens of hands

Thunder fell from the sky.

Boom boom exploded in the Ming army, the power of the grenade was much greater than the bullet, and suddenly the Ming army was blown down a large area, at this moment, the rifle platoon launched a rapid attack, fifty rifles fired at the same time, and instantly suppressed the red-haired devil at the commanding height.

The red-haired devil would never have thought that the Ming army also had such a powerful weapon, and after suppressing the commanding heights of the red-haired devil, the Ming army entered the inn in one go, and the red-haired devil was in close contact with the red-haired devil in the inn.

In close combat, the red-haired devils often only fired one shot, and they didn't have time to continue firing, and were divided by the Ming army that followed, and the remnants of the red-haired devils were invincible and were forced to retreat to the backyard of the inn.

The red-haired devils who were defending in the backyard were a group of more well-equipped mercenaries, there were nineteen of them, and seven or eight red-haired devils who retreated to the courtyard, desperately covering the five red-haired merchants in the courtyard, it was this group of people who relied on the small courtyard to defend, using rifles and superb tactics to resist to the end, and thwarted the attack of hundreds of Ming troops.

The five red-haired merchants who were protected by them had already had a plan, they dug a secret passage in the courtyard after Leo Huizhou City, and seeing the trend of the Ming army not retreating today, the red-haired merchant decided to abandon the mercenaries and wanted to withdraw from the secret passage.

Fortunately, Xu Sheng transferred several cannons in time to bombard this small courtyard, razing the courtyard walls to the ground, and the Ming army poured in like a tide, and more than a dozen mercenaries were almost killed by the Ming army in one fell way.

The Ming army found the secret passage in the courtyard, Xu Sheng ordered the muzzle of the cannon to be buckled upside down in the secret passage, scaring the people inside out, and the five red-haired merchants were so frightened that they peed their pants and were forced to hold a white flag and sway out of the secret passage, until this time, the Ming army won the battle.

After the end of the battle, the Ming army achieved the annihilation of seventy-nine enemies, captured five red-haired merchant Warring States, and the Ming army also lost more than 200 people, this is still the result of the rifle platoon secretly joining the battle, Xu Sheng was greatly stimulated, he thought that the Fusang rifle and grenade were already a magic weapon, and today he was fighting with the red-haired devils, which was just fighting with dozens of red-haired devils, which made him feel that the red-haired devils were more powerful than the Fusang devils, and the Ming army needed to improve its combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment as soon as possible in order to have the ability to fight with it.
