"A certain Wang Fuchen is here, who dares to come to fight to the death!"

Just when Liu Jinzhong's subordinates knocked down Shang Zhixin and took it, Wang Fuchen also roared like thunder, and took the lead, and the first one rushed through the "pass" on the long bridge on the moat outside Dongguan City, Guangzhou, which was "spelled out" by the horse rejecting gun.

I saw a flintlock pistol in his right hand, a short-handled four-fluted small hammer in his left hand, chasing and killing the Shang family armor who fled in the wilderness, the hammer was wielded, and the two people had been knocked over, and I saw an annoyed Shang family strong man turn back to fight, and shook his hand is a shot, hitting the center of the man's eyebrows, and then pulled out an axe. The left axe and the right hammer killed the screams of Shang Jun outside the left small gate of Dongguan, and there was no power to parry.

At this time, some Shang troops had already been killed from the secret passage at the root of the city wall, but they were rushed by Wang Fuchen's own armor soldiers driven by horses, and they could not form a formation within the sheep and horse wall at all. There was a spearman of the Shang family who probably didn't know Wang Fuchen, and he was holding a spear and wanted to stab this living Lu Bu to death, but Wang Fuchen slashed at his head with a flying axe, and he was brain dead without even screaming. Before the man had completely fallen, Wang Fuchen flew in and snatched the spear from his hand.

Wang Fuchen, who grabbed the spear, was even more ferocious, picking up the spear and stabbing to the left, and it was put into a piece in an instant! The battlefield inside the sheep and horse wall was quickly emptied!

At this time, the soldiers of the Shang family had already appeared on the battlements of the city wall on the left side of Dongguan Wengcheng, all of them were archers and shotgunslingers, and they all opened their bows and shots, raising their guns and fighting. The soldiers of the Wang family who rushed along that passage were not afraid of arrows, but in the sound of gunfire, some people still turned over and fell.

But there are people in the royal family's iron cavalry with rifled guns! It's not a lot, but it's accurate! I saw these iron cavalry with rifled guns dismounting one after another, and did not line up to shoot a row of guns, but scattered outside the moat, leaning on the horses as cover, and kept loading and firing.

The rifled gun plus the "Mini bullet" is the wooden cone buckshot in Wang Zhongxiao's mouth, which is very accurate, plus those "musketeers" are specially selected sharpshooters, although there are only about 20 people, but they soon killed the Shangjun shotgunners and archers on the city wall with heavy casualties!

At this time, Wang Fuchen had already killed the soldiers in the sheep and horse wall on the left side of the Dongguan City Tower in Guangzhou, and it was impossible for him to rush into the secret passage and the hidden soldier cave on a big horse, so he turned around and ran towards the left small door. The jack gate of the left small gate is slowly rising, and it has not been completely raised, but Wang Fuchen does not dare to stay outside Dongguan City for a long time - there are still people in the city who are releasing guns and arrows! So he simply turned over and dismounted, put away the hammer, drew his waist knife, protected his head and face, and then dragged the spear, and as soon as he bent down, he got into it from under the jack gate. As soon as I entered, I heard Kong Sizhen's voice: "Brother Wang, we have already captured Shang Zhixin!" ”

Wang Fuchen breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Kong Sizhen's voice, and found that Shang Zhixin was slumped on the ground with his eyes closed, and his face was like ashes.

"What about Mr. Liu?"

Wang Fuchen didn't find Liu Jinzhong, and there were a few people in the urn city, only twenty or thirty people led by Kong Sizhen.

"Mr. Liu took people to the city!" Kong Sizhen said anxiously and quickly, "The Shang family's banner soldiers fought back fiercely!" ”

Wang Fuchen glanced back and saw that the jack gate behind him had been completely hoisted, and the Wang family's iron horsemen also began to pour in, and one of them also brought Wang Fuchen's horse in.

So Wang Fuchen got on his horse again, pointed to the horse road in the urn city with the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Come with me to the city!" ”

Afterwards, Wang Fuchen took the lead and galloped along the horse road in the urn city to the city wall.

On the city wall, Wang Fuchen found that Liu Jinzhong and his men had fallen into a bitter battle!

Although Shang Zhixin, the actual head of the Shang family, has been captured by the thief and captured the king first, the Shang family's banner soldiers lying on the head of the city and the city wall are still fighting desperately!

These banner soldiers under the Shang family domain are equivalent to the eight banner soldiers of the Shang family, and they have followed Shang Kexi for more than 20 years, and they have been called a tiger, eating and drinking spicy! They were the main force in slaughtering Guangzhou, they were the backbone in moving to the coastal areas, they took the lion's share in enclosing land and occupying houses, and they made a lot of money by monopolizing smuggling.

They followed Shang Kexi, it can be said that everyone does evil, and every household gets rich!

All the bad things Shang Kexi has done, they have a share! Shang Kexi also has a share of the property industry that he snatched!

Now that the Shang family is dying, they can only be buried together!

In fact, these lackeys of the Shang family are not very loyal to the Qing Dynasty at all, they just want to keep their privilege of riding on the heads of the people of Guangdong! Therefore, in history, they followed Shang Zhixin into the righteousness of the three feudatories - the people under the Heping West King and the Jingnan King were different, they did not take the initiative to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but were beaten by Liu Jinzhong, Liu Guoxuan, Zu Zeqing, and Ma Xiong, and the elite of the domain was defeated by Liu Jinzhong and Liu Guoxuan's coalition forces in Chaozhou, and even Huizhou was captured by Liu Guoxuan, so they had to raise the anti-flag.

But this time. They can't keep Guangzhou even if they raise the anti-flag!

Because Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's Guangdong Wang clan regime relies on Cantonese people, it is impossible for them to spare the Shang family, if the Shang family is smarter and escapes early, then Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao will not chase after them relentlessly, but will consolidate their rule under the banner of "chasing and killing Shang Kexi". But the Shang family is reluctant to give up their industry in Guangdong!

So, they have to pay it back now!

When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back!

Now is the time to pay it back!

The city wall of Guangzhou is very wide, and the top can run horses. Moreover, it is the era of artillery siege, so the top of the city wall is generally clean, and there are not too many horse repellents and wooden fences - once these things are shelled, they will be broken into pieces and fly everywhere, causing great damage to the defenders.

But without these bits and pieces of obstacles, once the enemy's cavalry rushed to the walls, it would be a big trouble!

Wang Fuchen rode a long-legged Yanma from Macao, he himself was also big, the size of a big horse, like a moving iron tower, as soon as he got on the city wall, he scared the Shangjia banner soldiers who were pressing Liu Jinzhong!

Many of them know Wang Fuchen, Wang Fuchen, the governor of Liangguang!

The governor of Liangguang rode a war horse and brandished a spear and rushed to the city wall of Guangzhou. This official army (I don't know which official army?) Isn't it already in town?

Just when these Shang family banner soldiers were a little cowardly, Wang Fuchen was already like a mad tiger, roaring to drive the war horse, waving a spear, and began to charge. Under his onslaught, the Shang family soldiers on the city wall suddenly stumbled, became a mess, and were rushed out of a gap in the blink of an eye.

More Wang family iron cavalry also followed, and together with Wang Fuchen, they launched a cavalry assault on the city wall of Guangzhou!

The Shang family army is still trying its best to resist and support, waiting for more reinforcements to arrive in the various leaders in the city - the population of the Shang family domain is more than 100,000, although some of them followed Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhiying to Shaozhou Mansion and Nanxiong Prefecture to guard, but there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people in the city, if they are fully mobilized, they can always pull up another group of people.

The people in the city of Guangzhou have also discovered that something big is happening in Dongguan, and there is a shout of exclamation everywhere in the city. Dogfights are also unfolding all over the inner city of Guangzhou!

Some of the Green Battalion soldiers subordinate to Liu Jinzhong began to attack first, cutting people everywhere in the inner city of Guangzhou and setting fires, shouting and creating chaos. Many pacesetters of the governor of Guangdong and the governor of Guangdong, who were forcibly incorporated by the Shang family, also took the opportunity to turn against the water.

And the people of the Shang family clan in the city of Guangzhou can still occupy it, those old soldiers and clothed minions, young men who still look very immature, and women who can even take up arms to fight, are all under the organization of various auxiliary officials, desperately resisting.

In this way, the bloody battle unfolded all over the inner city of Guangzhou Mansion at the same time!

At this moment, the sound of the golden drum order suddenly came from the east of the city of Guangzhou, and the Shang army on the city wall saw in despair that on the open terrain to the east of the city of Guangzhou, a group of foot soldiers of the Guangdong Township Army, carrying spears and flintlock pistols or bird guns, had already waved the banner of the word "Wang" and the word "Yue", and galloped towards the gate of Dongguan City, which had been opened!

Their number is very large, I am afraid that there are no less than 30,000!

Guangzhou City, Pingnan Palace.

Shang Kexi sat on his own nine halls, wearing the robes of the prince of the Qing Dynasty, wearing a ruby crowned official hat, and holding a waist knife rewarded by the emperor Taiji in his hand. Twisting the rosary in his hand, where is he still chanting: "Nan no Amitabha."

The hall was full of his wives and concubines and minor children, and they were already crying at this time.

The sound of gunfire, artillery, and shouting and killing came in bursts, getting louder and louder, getting closer and closer, which meant that the resistance of the Shang family's army could not last long.

And rightfully so!

There weren't many elites under the Shang family's domain, and they were sent a batch by Shang Zhixiao, and some were taken away by Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhiying to defend the retreat, how many can still stay in Guangzhou City?

And Wang Zhongxiao, who used Juntian to mobilize Guangdong society, could casually pull out tens of thousands of township soldiers!

And Wang Fuchen's new army also has a small 20,000!

In addition, Liu Jinzhong's green battalion and Zhu Guozhi and Li Yan's thousands of green battalion soldiers also turned against the water, and even Shang Shuying's soldiers and horses of the Xushun Mansion also turned against the water under the leadership of the deputy capital commander Deng Guangming.

After Shang Zhixin's Hongmen Banquet was messed up, the end of the Shang family is almost here!

Shang Kexi also knew that he had no way to live, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao had already beaten him in the name of avenging the Cantonese people and begging for thieves, how could they spare him from dying?

But this old guy didn't do a good job when he died, and he forced his wife and concubine to bring their minor children to the funeral together. Now these people have gathered in the Nine Palaces, and there are more than a hundred of them, and they are all crying into tears!

His military advisor Jin Guang and filial son Shang Zhixiao commanded the palace guards to resist desperately, and at the same time asked the servants in the palace to bring firewood, grass, silk cloth, and fire oil!

Shang Kexi's previous collection of antiques, calligraphy and paintings have also been moved to the nine halls, piled up into a large pile.

Just wait for the Wang family army to kill, and then light all the fire!

I have to say, this old guy is really vicious.

I don't know what the use of reciting this sutra is?

It was already late at night on March 21, and the battle of Fucheng in Guangzhou had been fought for most of the day, and it was almost over.

The inner city of Guangzhou is already full of fire.

Some of these fires were set by the anti-water green battalion soldiers, and some were set up by the Guangdong township army who invaded the city in order to force out the Shang family army and their families who were hiding in the houses. These Shang family soldiers are guarding their homes!

Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao were actually willing to persuade them to surrender, and they also gave orders to the new army and green battalion soldiers below, and those who were willing to submit should not be harmed, and they would be exiled overseas in the future.

But the Guangdong township soldiers are not so easy to talk to!

Most of the Guangdong Zhuang men who participated in the township soldiers were ruined in the coastal relocation, and they suffered a lot of bitterness! Can you not take revenge now?

Therefore, the killing of prisoners happened everywhere in the city of Guangzhou, which strengthened the determination of the Shang clan Ding to resist to the death. However, no matter how much they resisted, they could not change their fate.

With the fires everywhere, the recalcitrant mansions were breached, and the battle lasted until late at night, and even Shang Zhixin's Shizifu (the original Jingnan Palace) was broken - the defenders here did not resist too fiercely, because most of them followed Shang Zhixin from Beijing, and they didn't know how much the Cantonese hated them, and Kong Sizhen personally shouted to guarantee, and these people surrendered under the leadership of the palace governor Shi Li Tianzhi.

But the Pingnan Mansion next door to the Shizi Mansion is different, where is Shang Kexi willing to surrender? And at this time, most of the people who were still protecting him were the old people who had slaughtered Guangzhou with him. They are the most sinful, and they have also killed their children and grandchildren, where is there any way to survive at this time? It's nothing more than pulling a few more pads.

So the final fierce battle unfolded around the Pingnan Palace!

Pingnan Wangfu is said to be a "house", in fact, it is also a small castle, the wall is high and thick, the periphery also digs a trench, and the watchtowers are repaired every other distance, which is very difficult to beat!

However, no matter how difficult the castle is, when it meets Wang Zhongxiao, there is no way to survive.

Wang Zhongxiao's method was to bombard with mortar cannons, he put more than a dozen mortar cannons that could fire 20 catties of projectiles directly in the Shizi's Mansion next door to the Pingnan Palace, calculated the distance, and then bombarded the 20 catties of flowering shells into the Pingnan Mansion one by one, causing the palace to burst into flames.

At the same time as bombarding with mortar cannons, Wang Zhongxiao also ordered someone to pull the red-clothed cannons placed on the city wall, which were directly used to shoot directly at the wall of Pingnan Wangfu, and in less than half an hour, a gap dozens of feet wide had been blasted!

The Guangdong township soldiers with flintlock pistols with bayonets were all red-eyed, and the tide poured in, and soon they broke through to the outside of the Nine Palaces. At this time, the gate of the Nine Halls had been sealed, and there were occasional sporadic bullets shot out inside, as well as heart-rending cries and curses. Thousands of Guangdong township soldiers surrounded this place layer upon layer, and did not attack, but wanted to wait for the cannon to come up, but before the artillery was pulled, a sky-high fire broke out in the nine halls, and the screams and the sound of hitting the gate also sounded immediately!

It turned out that Shang Kexi had already ordered someone to nail the doors and windows, and no one wanted to leave alive!

When Wang Zhongxiao arrived with artillery, the Nine Halls had already burned into a fire, and the people inside were estimated to have been burned to charcoal.

Looking at the skyrocketing fire, Wang Zhongxiao couldn't help but scold: "This Shang Kexi is really not a thing, he has to be buried with so many people when he dies."

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him, as if it was Liu Jinzhong's voice: "Wang Zhijun, have you seen it?" The nine halls were all burned, and Shang Kexi must have died! You have to keep your promise and hand over the third prince Zhu to me, and I have to take him to Nanjing to be the emperor!" ”

It turns out that Liu Jinzhong's defection has a price!

This price is to hand over the third prince of Zhu to Liu Jinzhong.

"No! That's impossible! Someone immediately raised an objection, "Third Prince Zhu has to come with me. I have been ordered by the King of the West to take the third prince to Xi'an to be the emperor! ”

This should be Wang Shirong's voice.

Wang Zhongxiao was also stunned when he heard this, he never thought that this third prince Zhu was so popular now, and there were actually two jobs of "Emperor Ming Xian" in front of him.

"Wang Zhijun, you can't talk and don't count. The third prince must come with me! ”

"With you? You are a general soldier, why do you help the third prince become the emperor? ”

"There's someone behind me. The King of Jingnan, the King of Yanping, and Chen Fufu, the general soldier of the sea route, are all in the same group as me, and we must support the third prince to go to Nanjing to be the emperor together! And I'm still from the Yongwei Battalion, so it's only right for me to protect the third prince! ”

The two of them also got into an argument.

When Wang Zhongxiao didn't know what to say, someone had already seen him.

"Wang Shikai, you have to help King Xi, you are the double grandson-in-law of King Xi!"

"Wang Shikai, you have to talk about it, the third prince must come with me!"
