Chapter 112: Desperate Shang Ke is gratifying
"Kill!"
Outside the camp of the Qing army, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The Ming army opened the way with mortillary cannons and grenades, and the line infantry fired at close range, easily crushing the Qing army behind the gap.
Subsequently, the line infantry launched a charge with guns, stepped on the corpses of the dead Qing soldiers, pursued the routers, and rushed into the camp in one fell swoop.
However, after they rushed in, they were met with concentrated fire from the Qing army's birdmen and archers deployed in the camp, and only the sound of popping beans in front was heard accompanied by gunsmoke, and dozens of the line infantry who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground.
The rest of the men continued to attack, roaring and rushing at the still reloading Qing gunner, who hurriedly retreated, but the line infantry was faster, and the insertive bayonet inserted in the muzzle of the gun pierced straight into the body of the birdman, and then pulled it out with force, and blood gushed out from the wound.
The line infantry who rushed into the camp seized the camp gate as soon as possible, and they pushed open the heavy wooden gate to welcome the rattan battalion outside and the robe of the Chinese army camp to enter, and fought with the Qing army.
In the melee, the iron-clad solid mountain forehead was the first soldier, wielding a terrifying mace to fight with the Ming army, he raised the mace high, and smashed it on the head of the rattan battalion foot soldier in front of him, the latter couldn't dodge, and was immediately hit on the head by the mace, only to hear a crisp bone cracking sound, and the top of the head of the foot soldier who was only wrapped in a turban actually directly dented, and died on the spot.
After killing a person, Erong waved his mace again, and swung it in a sweeping manner towards the Ming soldiers who attacked him in front of him, and the Ming soldiers also intended to use their shields to resist, but how could the heavy mace be blocked by the shield, The mace only lightly smashed on the shield, and the solid shields shattered instantly, and the mace went castrated, and smashed on the chests of several Ming soldiers.
In the next second, the whole Ming army foot soldiers flew out screaming, overwhelming several people backwards, and then looking at the part where they were hit by the mace, the armor actually followed the bones and sunk in, these foot soldiers bled and died miserably.
Erong's heroic performance inspired the surrounding Qing soldiers, who centered on Erong and fought back and forth with the Ming army, but Erong's outstanding performance also attracted several unkind eyes, and several light infantry in the crowd stared at him, and almost at the same time, several muzzles were also aimed at the body of this heroic Qing general.
Immediately, several gunshots rang out in the crowd.
The iron armor on Erong's body in the battle could not block the bullets fired at him, after the gunshot, there were several more blood holes on his body, and the huge pain made him can't help but take a few steps back, covering the muzzle of his body in disbelief, his eyes scanning the crowd, as if he wanted to find out who the enemy who shot him coldly.
But he didn't find it, because at this time, several more gunshots rang out, and one of the fatal projectiles hit him head-on in the eye socket, and the projectile drilled through the eye socket, shattering the eyeball, stirring up in the brain tissue, and with a scream, he fell to the sky.
Erong's death directly hit the morale of the Qing soldiers who were inspired by him, and they looked at Erong's tragic death in horror, and they had no will to fight, and naturally retreated under the attack of the Ming army, and finally collapsed.
At the same time, there was finally movement in the direction of Zhangzhou City.
The west gate of Zhangzhou City was opened, and countless Ming troops holding high the banner of "Recruiting General Zhu" shouted out of the city, one of which was particularly conspicuous wearing a red cloak, Zhu Chenggong took the lead and led his soldiers to attack the Qing army camp.
The Qing army in Huizhou, which was deployed in the direction of Zhangzhou, had already prepared, and resisted bravely under the command of its general soldier Huang Yunjie, and for a time actually blocked the offensive of the Ming army in Zhangzhou with its camp.
And what about Shang Kexi?
He saw that the Ming army had collapsed the wall with artillery, the army had broken into the camp, and his own side was losing and retreating, and knowing that the defeat was decided, he intended to organize and obey his own troops to break through to the south, intending to escape to the bank of Jiulong Creek and escape to the opposite bank by boat.
In order to prevent the army from discovering that he had fled, which would lead to a total rout, he ordered his generals, who were similar in size to him, to pretend to be himself and stand under the king's banner in armor, while he himself disguised himself and led the army to flee south.
However, in order to prevent the Qing army from escaping, Su Yan had already ordered the Xiao cavalry battalion to wander around the Qing army camp in advance, hunting down any Qing army that escaped from the camp.
This did not break Shang Kexi's plan to escape, he did not hesitate to order a staff general to lead part of the soldiers and horses to take the lead in rushing out of the southern camp to retreat in the opposite direction, and after the Ming cavalry was really attracted by this remnant army, he led the remaining soldiers and horses to run towards Jiulong Creek.
When they ran all the way to the bank of Jiulong Creek, they were desperate to find that all the boats and boats on the bank of Jiulong Creek had been burned, and only a piece of coke was left floating on the water.
At this time, the Ming army had already routed the remnants of the broken tail like a gecko and rushed towards them.
"If the sky is going to die, can I still be happy?"
Looking at the Ming cavalry who were killing here, Shang Kexi couldn't help but look up to the sky and roared, saying, he lifted his sword, and was about to kill himself by the river, but his generals hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and the general Sheng Dengke said with tears: "Lord Wang, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, vote it, with your influence, as long as you surrender, the Ming people will definitely treat you well!" ”
"Nonsense!" Shang Kexi pushed Sheng Dengke away, was furious, and angrily reprimanded: "Emperor Taizongwen has the grace of knowing me, how can I still be happy to turn my back on the court and call for the second master?" Thou shalt mention this matter again, and I will not surrender to the Ming people! ”
"Lord, the slave is guilty." Sheng Dengke hurriedly knelt down and confessed, he kowtowed hard, then raised his head, and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Wang, even if the slave Sheng Dengke dies today, he will protect you!" ”
"Good minion!" Shang Kexi couldn't help but praise.
In Shang Kexi's praise, Sheng Dengke stood up and looked firmly at the Ming cavalry who were killing them.
But at this moment, there were suddenly several paddling sounds on the surface of the stream, and then an unfamiliar voice came:
"On the ground, it's my Royal Highness the King of Pingnan, the Great Qing Dynasty?"
Shang Kexi and the others hurriedly turned around to look, and saw a fisherman standing on the bamboo raft, looking at several of them.
"Er......"
As soon as the words of the guards beside Shang Kexi reached his mouth, he was interrupted by his master, Shang Kexi looked at the fisherman who appeared at some point, and said, "This king is exact." ”
"Since it is His Royal Highness the King of Pingnan, then please come up quickly, and let the grass people escort you across the shore!"
The fisherman clenched his fists and shouted.
"Who are you, and why do you want to take this king across the stream?" Shang Kexi asked.
"Back to the words of the prince, the grass people are the locals of this Zhangzhou Mansion, and they have always been in the heart of my Daqing, I heard that the king of the Qing Dynasty is here, and he wants to serve the king, but he can't find an opportunity, and today he finally found an opportunity, please get on the boat quickly, don't lose under the blade of the Ming army!"
Although Shang Kexi was full of suspicion about the fisherman, he looked at the Ming cavalry that was getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth, and shouted to the fisherman: "In this way, you quickly come over, and when this king makes a comeback, there will be a reward!" ”
"Lord Wang, this bamboo raft can only send you over, and the rest of the people, the grass people can't do anything." The fisherman said again.
"It's okay, quickly dock and let this king cross the stream!"
Shang Kexi's tone was a little anxious, he had planned to die here with his own soldiers, but the appearance of the fisherman gave him hope for life, and he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that the fisherman was still procrastinating.
Seeing that Shang Kexi was in a hurry, the fisherman hurriedly picked up the bamboo pulp and leaned the bamboo raft over, almost at the same time as the bamboo raft came over, Shang Kexi couldn't wait to jump on the bamboo raft and let the fisherman row to the opposite shore.
At the same time, he hugged his fists with his generals and soldiers on the shore and promised: "When this king returns to Guangzhou, he will definitely take care of your wife and children, and you don't have to worry about it." ”
"Lord ......"
Although Sheng Dengke was loyal to Shang Kexi, he was actually abandoned at the last moment when his life was hanging by a thread, which still made him dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was too late, because the cavalry of the Ming army had already entered the state of charge, and they could even see the blood dripping from the sharp saber!
"Kill!"
On the Jiulong Creek, Shang Kexi, who was standing on the bamboo raft, angrily watched his own soldiers being annihilated under the iron hooves of the Ming cavalry, and did not notice the strangeness of the fisherman paddling beside him.
Shang Kexi, who fell into the water, struggled desperately, but the iron armor on his body was already extremely heavy, and the more he struggled, the more he sank, and when his consciousness gradually became trance, he vaguely heard the fisherman roaring in the sky.
"Father, mother, the child has finally avenged you!"
