Looking at the not solid Qiongshan city wall, Wang An sneered.

"Xu Liangyuan, I order you to take three hundred village warriors as the vanguard and attack the city."

When Xu Liangyuan heard this, he hurriedly received the order.

These days, for the Ming army to conquer Changhua, Lingao Chengmai, these local Qiongzhou township warriors can be said to be at the forefront of the killing, and they have also been recognized by Li Du Xiao Wu and other generals.

As Xu Liangyuan mobilized the villagers to prepare for the siege of the city, the Ming artillery team also began to pull the Franc machine gun and the tiger cannon to the city.

Along the way, the Ming army's tiger cannons and other heavy artillery did not come in handy.

What really accompanied the Ming army to fight all over the field were those inconspicuous little Furlong machine guns.

These small Furlong cannons are only a few hundred catties, and the lightest is only a hundred catties, which is suitable for horses to drag.

And these heavy artillery, such as the tiger cannon, due to the size and weight is too heavy, in the Ming army all the way forward, Lingao, Chengmai surrendered successively, resulting in the siege of the tiger heavy artillery useless.

Fortunately, a large number of Tiger Ben heavy artillery was entrusted to the sailors by the Ming army and consigned by sea ships such as bird boats.

On the contrary, he came to Qiongshan one step earlier than the Ming army.

Looking at the Ming army under the city, the Qing army in the city, the brave and strong men of the township were already panicking.

At this moment, I found that the Ming army had dragged up a large number of artillery.

The Qing officers and soldiers guarding the city wall instantly let out a commotion.

"Put!" With the order of the Ming army artillery flag officer.

The four Tiger Cannons shook violently, and then one after another ten-pound buckshot slammed into the wall a mile ahead.

With the shaking of the ground for a while, many Qing officers and soldiers guarding the city wall were shaken to the ground.

The walls weren't too strong, and ten pounds of buckshot had smashed holes the size of bowls, and the craters were surrounded by huge spiderweb-like cracks.

Seeing this scene, the Ming officers and soldiers let out bursts of shouts.

Immediately afterward, a six-pounder and three-pounder Franc cannon began to pour out fury on the walls.

Although these small and medium-caliber guns are not as powerful as the Tiger Heavy Artillery, they focus on a fast rate of fire.

A number of three-pounder Fran cannons aimed directly at the city wall and fired at the Qing army defending the city.

Several Qing officers and soldiers who were not very lucky were directly scooped by three-pound lead bullets.

After rounds of artillery bombardment, the Qing officers and soldiers on the city wall finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to scatter and flee.

Most of the people themselves were just strong men who were temporarily summoned by the prefect, and they had never seen such firearms, and they all cried and fled to the city.

Seeing that the Qing army defending the city had completely collapsed, Xu Liangyuan's villagers rushed towards the city wall.

But before the Ming army could set up the ladder, they found that the city gate had opened by itself.

The feeling is that the Qing army defending the city saw that the artillery of the Ming army was so sharp, so they simply surrendered the city.

Dozens of Qing officers and soldiers shouted for mercy and laid down their weapons.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty entered the county without bloodshed.

At this time, Tong Xiangnian was hiding in the prefect's mansion, and a three-foot white silk was hanging on the lobby beam in the mansion.

The servants of the house had already fled, and even the Qing army surrendered.

Tong Xiangnian, who knew that the general trend had gone, listened to the shouts and killings that were getting closer and closer.

Put your heart horizontally, stare at your legs, and hang directly there.

But at this moment, the door of the mansion was suddenly kicked open by several Ming officers and soldiers.

Seeing that an official in official uniform was committing suicide by hanging from a beam, he hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him.

In this way, Tong Xiangnian walked in front of the Ghost Gate and became a prisoner of the Ming army in a daze.

After Wu Qijue, the general soldier of Qiongzhou, was beaten by the Ming army under the city of Changhua and annihilated.

There is basically no suspense about the battle on Qiong Island.

Looking at the Ming banner hanging on the city wall of Qiongshan, Wang An looked up to the sky and smiled.

The month-long war in Qiongzhou has finally come to an end.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Yandi led 800 soldiers of the Ming army to enter

Qiongshan County.

At noon, the officers and men of the Ming Army's naval division landed from Haikou.

The Ming army completed the rendezvous at Qiongdao and completely occupied Hainan Island.

In the yamen of Qiongshan County, the generals of the Ming army sat together, looking at the Qiongzhou defense map captured from the green camp of the Qing army, and discussing the next move. br>

"In this battle of Qiongzhou, our army won a complete victory, so we took this opportunity to go north to take Leizhou." Fuyang Town General Miao Qiandao.

"Yes, the number of casualties of our Ming army this time is only a few hundred, and the water division, the towns basically do not suffer much loss, because it is a good opportunity to go north to Guangdong." Marine battalion Wang An agreed.

In this Qiongzhou Campaign, if you want to say who has the greatest credit, it is none other than Wang An of the Marine Battalion.

Because of this, it has won the support of many generals.

Li Du and Xiao Wu looked at this group of belligerent generals and smiled at each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the order of the governor, after taking Qiongzhou Island, our army will defend Qiongzhou Island with all its might, and attack and harass Liangguang." Li Du looked at the generals present and said.

"What?" The generals of the Ming army present were all shocked.

I don't understand the Governor's arrangement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we have already occupied Qiongzhou, the combat power of the Qing army's green battalion in this Qiongzhou Battle must be clear to you, if it weren't for our army's sneak attack, and the Qing army's defense was too scattered so that our army could swallow it one by one, our army would not have taken Qiongzhou so easily."

Li Du's words are also right, the combat effectiveness of the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army, the generals of the Ming army present are indeed obvious to all.

This time in the Battle of Qiongzhou, the Ming army really took a trick.

Whether it is the Yazhou battalion of the Qing army, the Wanzhou battalion, or the other battalions of the Qing army, the troops are too scattered.

As a result, the Ming army could calmly encircle and annihilate it.

Even if General Wu personally led 2,000 Qing troops to fight in the end, the Ming officers and soldiers also took advantage of the convenience of defending the city, and the Qing army marched rashly under the torrential rain, so there was a great victory under the city of Changhua.

If it was really to give the Qing officers and soldiers time to react and gather troops, under the same circumstances, the Ming army would probably have to pay more casualties to defeat the same number of Qing green battalions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are at least 10,000 people in the Guangdong Green Battalion, and this does not include the three thousand Eight Banner soldiers." Xiao Wu pointed in the direction of Leizhou on the chart.

"If our army crosses the Qiongzhou Strait and lands in Leizhou."

"The Qing army reacted and gathered tens of thousands of troops to stop us, how can we resist with the thousands of troops on our island?"

The generals of the Ming army present were silent.

In order to annihilate the green camp of the Qing army on Qiong Island, the Ming army has used all its strength.

But Guangdong even returned the green battalion of the 10,000 Qing Army, not including the 3,000 Eight Banners.

Such a disparity in strength made the Ming generals present feel a chill down their backs.

"What the general means, we and the Ming army should stick to Qiongzhou Island." Qin Yu stood up and broke the lifeless atmosphere.

Glancing at Qin Yu, Li Du nodded.

"In this campaign against Qiongzhou, our Ming army only has three goals, and now I have completed two of them." Li Du said.

The generals of the Ming army present looked at each other, and finally Wang An spoke.

"Dare to ask the general, our army has taken Qiongzhou, what else has not been done?"

Xiao Wu waved his hand, signaling the generals present to be calm.

"You all know very well that the purpose of my northern expedition to Qiongzhou this time is to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and its original intention is to seize an island as a springboard to attack and disturb the two Guangzhous."
