When the soldiers of the Qianhai battalion heard this rumbling cannon, they also cried with joy.

"Lord Chen has come to our rescue." Under the fire of the Ming army's camp, the Ming officers and soldiers raised their weapons one after another and shouted.

On the hills in the distance, Lin Xu stood on a high place and looked at the gradually whitening sky.

"Stop." Lin Xu shouted.

A flag bearer next to him hurriedly raised his flag to signal, and the gunners on the side also stopped firing one after another.

This time, the Ming army used five Franc machine guns to continuously fire more than ten cannons in front, and the intermittent sound of artillery shocked the Guangnan soldiers under the camp, forcing Li Youcheng to return with hundreds of Guangnan soldiers in vain.

Mo Sin, who had already responded nearby, was also frightened by the Ming people's artillery fire, but fortunately, the Ming artillery only lasted intermittently for a while, and there were no Ming troops around.

When Li Youcheng led the army back to the camp, he felt that something was wrong, where did the Ming people get reinforcements?

At this time, the sky was about to brighten, and Li Youcheng immediately sent scouts to investigate.

At this time, in the Ming camp, the fire in the west village was not rampant for too long.

After the Guangnan soldiers suddenly retreated, Li Shi immediately mobilized the villagers of the whole village to participate in the firefighting.

The remaining defenders of Sanzhaimen also joined in the firefighting.

Fortunately, it was the rainy season and the weather was humid late at night, so the Ming soldiers were blocked by water and wet mud.

In the end, the fire was finally extinguished after the desperate rescue of Ming officers and soldiers and thousands of villagers.

After all, they still saved the other three villages, but all the Ming soldiers showed despair when they saw the wall of Xizhai Gate, which was burned to the ground.

Most of the Xizhai Gate burned down, and now how to resist the Fanren.

"Ugh." Li Shi stepped forward, looked at the wall that was destroyed by the fire, and sighed helplessly.

Under the wall of the West Village, dozens or hundreds of burnt corpses were extinguished by the water and revealed their original appearance.

The villagers who rushed up to carry the corpse were so frightened that their legs weakened when they saw this appearance, and they did not dare to go up.

"Get the hell out of here." The soldier on the side cursed.

"If we don't finish moving these corpses this morning, we won't be able to defend the village, and when the people attack the village, you will just wait to be lit with sky lanterns!" Under the pushing and scolding of the soldiers, these villagers had no choice but to endure the smell of scorching and fear to carry the charred corpses out.

Many of the corpses were already glued together, emitting a burst of burning smell, and the villagers could not separate them, so they had to use saw knives and guillotines to cut them off and pull them outside the Nanzhai Gate with a board cart.

The area around Annam Zhenla is located in the tropics, hot and humid, if the corpse is not disposed of as soon as possible, epidemic disease will inevitably occur, and the Ming army does not dare to slack off.

Hundreds of villagers had already dug a big pit outside the Nanzhai Gate, and many Ming officers and soldiers who had died in the previous battle were buried inside.

At this time, the Ming army didn't care, and directly buried the corpses of the Ming and Fan people.

The Guangnan soldiers outside the walled city were obviously frightened by last night's artillery, and at this time, not a single person was seen outside the Ming army camp.

Seeing this, some villagers wanted to secretly flee the walled city, but were discovered by the Ming soldiers.

These Ming soldiers showed no mercy, and directly hacked to death more than a dozen villagers who dared to escape, and dragged their bodies into the corpse pit for burial.

"My lord, last night's artillery was a reinforcement sent by Lord Chen." A co-president pinned his hopes.

Standing on the gate of Beizhai, looking at the earthen wall more than fifty steps away, Li Shi was silent.

"My lord, while the soldiers are retreating, let's immediately withdraw from the camp and flee to Nainong City."

"Yes, Nainong City is strong, and there are thousands of officers and soldiers, township soldiers and other soldiers guarding it, and they will definitely be able to hold on for several months, so we should go to Nainong City immediately." The generals of the Ming army on the wall of the wall were gossiping and spoke one after another.

"Nainong is more than ten miles away from Qianhai Yingzhai, if we break through in the dark last night, plus thousands of villagers cover us, we will definitely be able to break through." Li Shi sighed and slammed his fist on the bamboo wall.

"But now that the sky has dawned, the Fan Corps under Nainong City has surrounded Nainong, and I am waiting to go to Nainong City at this time, isn't it just right to enter the tiger's mouth?" Li Shi looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was full of unwillingness.

Now most of the Xizhai wall has been destroyed, and there are less than 100 officers and soldiers left in the Qianhai battalion defending the city, the gunpowder has been exhausted, and the arrows are not the same.

"My lord, could it be that the cannon sound last night was the arrival of Nainong's reinforcements?" One of the co-directors muttered quietly.

"It's just right, you should immediately take a few brothers with good legs and feet and a little smarter out of the village, and immediately go to find reinforcements." Li Shi's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw.

The co-leader was stupid and froze in place, what is the difference between letting him out of the city at this time and sending him to death.

"Staying in the village is also death, and leaving the village is also death, it is better to find reinforcements for the lives of the brothers in the village." Li Shi patted the co-organizer on the shoulder and encouraged.

The co-president wanted to cry without tears, so he had to set off from Xizhai with a few personal soldiers.

The bamboo wall of Xizhai has been burned down by fire, and it is only two meters from the lowest point of the ground, and several Ming soldiers jumped off the bamboo wall, and rushed towards the direction where the cannon sound came from last night.

Now the Ming officers and soldiers in the Qianhai camp had to pin their hopes on the reinforcements that came.

"Why don't you send troops to the camp immediately?" Li Liu stepped forward and couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that the artillerymen had not carried the artillery for a long time, but were preparing for battle and resting in place.

Last night, the Ming army urgently mobilized five Franc machine guns and sent them to the hill to bombard the Fan army in a horse-drawn cart, and there were still five Franc machine guns under the hill.

At this time, the five Franc cannons that remained behind were also pulled up the hill by the gunners in a carriage.

Li Liu angrily found Lin Xu, and was puzzled that Lin Xu had pulled all the artillery to the hill, instead of taking advantage of the fact that the army had not yet reacted, and immediately marched to the Ming army camp.

"Lord Lin, I hope you can give me an explanation." Li Liuqiang held back his anger and pointed to the artillery on the hill.

"Why do you want to leave the army on the hill, now that we are only two or three miles away from the camp, we should go to the camp immediately." Li Liu looked at Lin Xu's military deployment, he was born in Huben Town, and naturally knew that the army would inevitably be surrounded by Shengfan if he stayed on the hills, and when the time came, the army would inevitably collapse if there was no water and food.

Lin Xu glanced at Li Liu, "I am the commander, I will command this battle, you only need to take your subordinates to guard the artillery on the hill." ”

"There is a lack of water here, and there are flat rivers all around, all of which are rice fields and muddy fields, if the soldiers are surrounded by them, how should we hold on." Li Liu laughed angrily.

"How to hold on, I ask you if you heard the sound of horses' hooves last night." Lin Xu asked.

"Yes, there are no less than a hundred riders to listen to." Li Liu nodded.

"Then let me ask you if you saw the fire in the camp last night." Lin Xu asked again.

"Now we don't know what the situation is in the walled city, so we rushed to go, so many heavy artillery and convoys, although the road is only two or three miles but surrounded by rice fields and mud, how long will it take, if the scouts find out that they have attracted a team of people and horses, what should we do?" Lin Xu asked rhetorically.

Li Liu was stunned, shook his head and said, "Impossible, it's only two or three miles, how can Fanren be so fast."
