The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 267
Some of these people picked up weapons from the ground and waved them at the Qing army behind them.

Someone didn't even hold a weapon at all, and the whole person bumped into it.

Headbutted, bitten, used his body as a weapon, and fought to the death with the author of the Qing army.

The Qing army was caught off guard by the sudden scene, and their formation was in chaos in an instant.

At this moment, the shelling from the Liberation Army also stopped.

Accompanied by the loud and piercing charge horn, the Liberation Army jumped out of the parapet and launched a bayonet charge.

The bright bayonets formed a wall of knives and pressed forward.

Under the impact of the people who rose up and resisted, the formation of the Qing army had already become chaotic.

How can we still stop the charge of the Restoration Army!
The Qing army that attacked this time was immediately besieged under the joint attack of the recovery army and the people.

Seeing this scene, Shang Zhixiao sent another team of Qing troops to reinforce.

The fighting situation suddenly became fierce!
The open space between the first and second trenches became the main battlefield for both sides.

As the Restoration Army joined the battlefield, those common people received support, and they fought more and more fiercely.

Every time he risked his life, that kind of style of play made the soldiers of the Liberation Army feel ashamed when they saw it.

"kill!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Da Ming's Heavenly Soldiers are here to help us, kill all these dog tartars!"

"..."

Even if the Liberation Army wanted to take over the battlefield and let these people retreat, the people were unmoved.

In their eyes, there is only an unforgettable hatred for the Qing army!

After a fierce battle between the two sides, the Qing army finally retreated to the first trench

The recovery army retreated to the second trench.

After a fierce battle, counting the number of people, there are less than a thousand surviving people.

After the Qing army slaughtered Gaozhou, thousands of people were forcibly pulled out to Leizhou as cannon fodder.

After several times of fighting, only less than a thousand people were killed and injured among the thousands of people.

After a short break in the war, both sides buried their pots for food.

Zhu Hongyu learned of the tragedy that happened in Gaozhou from the mouths of the rescued people, and the anger in his heart boiled more and more.

Killing intent is fierce!
He became even more determined to wipe out this Qing army cavalry led by Shang Zhixiao, which was about [-] people.

……

The battle continued, and the two sides fought fiercely in the second trench, leaving corpses all over the ground.

The Liberation Army continued to retreat to the third trench!
However, before the Qing army had time to organize an attack, the Guangfu Army launched a counterattack.

The muskets exploded, the bowstring trembled, and the Qing army and the Restoration Army fought fiercely in the second trench.

The Qing army was repelled!

In the following time, the two sides saw-saw back and forth around the second and third trenches, and you fought for it.

In the trench defense line of the Restoration Army, although the cavalry of the Qing army was abolished, under the order of Shang Zhixiao, the soldiers of the Qing army showed considerable heroism.

Intense foot battle between the two sides!

Whenever the Qing army was about to be unable to hold on and attack, the Guangfu army would choose to retreat.

Use this to strengthen the Qing army!

The Restoration Army dragged the Qing cavalry to the coastal line of Leizhou.

Shang Zhixiao seems to be on the top, obviously in the offensive and defensive battles, the Qing army did not take advantage.

The elite cavalry suffered heavy losses in the infantry battle with the Ming army. After a few days of hard fighting, the casualties were close to 3000.

It can be said that it hurts muscles and bones!
However, looking at the battle situation on the front line, he was extremely unwilling.

Every attack is a little bit, and only a little bit can tear through the Ming thief's defense.

How could he be willing to retreat?
Zhu Hongyu's way of retreating a little every time the Qing army is about to fail is really too annoying.

Anyway, Shang Zhixiao is on top!
Of course, Shang Zhixiao is not stupid, but he feels that his subordinates are all cavalry, and the initiative in the war lies with him.

It's not too late to talk about evacuation when it's really hard to move.

Anyway, his subordinates are all cavalry, and no one can do anything to him if he wants to leave!

Shang Zhixiao looked at the Qing army retreating from the battlefield like a tide again, with a gloomy and frightening expression.

"Damn, why can't we attack?!"

Xu Tai spoke from the side.

"His Royal Highness, please order the withdrawal of troops!"

"The casualties were too heavy, and the soldiers couldn't hold on any longer!"

Shang Zhixiao shook his head and said.

"It cannot be withdrawn. If the Ming thief cannot be expelled, this son will not be able to explain to his father when he returns!"

In this long-distance raid, he, Shang Zhixiao, led the most powerful army under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.

As a result, he suffered heavy losses in the fierce battle with the Ming thief, but failed to achieve any results.

Not to mention the number of beheading thieves, what major results have been achieved.

They even failed to pull out the stronghold of the Ming thief on the mainland.

Shang Zhixiao has no way to explain to Shang Kexi when he goes back!

If he just returned to Guangzhou in such a disheartened manner, the position of the son of the world would only be a dream.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report.

"Report!"

"The Ming thief has retreated! The Ming thief has retreated!"

"The big boat of the Ming thief came from the sea, and all the Ming thieves left on the boat!"

"..."

A cavalry soldier of the Qing army ran up to Shang Zhixiao with a happy face, knelt down with a plop, pointed in the direction of the sea and said.

Shang Zhixiao showed joy, and then gave an order.

"Attack, launch an attack now, and give Ming thief a powerful look!"

He thought, since the Ming bandits were about to withdraw, the morale of the remaining troops must not be high, and now is the best time for him to send troops to pursue them.

Maybe you can take the opportunity to get enough rich results!
As Shang Zhixiao expected, all the recovery troops in the defense line were withdrawn, and the Qing army easily crossed the defense line.

However, just when the Qing army crossed all the lines of defense and was about to catch up with the broken troops of the Restoration Army!
boom!Boom!

Thick gunpowder smoke rose from the side of the fleet moored on the shore.

The roar of heavy artillery resounds across the coast!

The heavy artillery equipped by the Liberation Army on ships is much larger than field artillery in terms of caliber and power.

The pursuit troops of the Qing army were hit head-on in an instant!
The huge shells rolled and twirled, plowing out flesh and blood passages made up of stumped limbs and broken arms in the Qing army.

Even the explosive bullets fired by naval guns are much more powerful than field artillery!
Amid the sound of rumbling explosions, the Qing army's chasing troops were logically repulsed.

Under the cover of naval guns, the Liberation Army quickly completed the boarding and evacuation.

The Qing army completely took down the defense line along the coast of Leizhou after the recovery army withdrew.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhu Hongyu looked at the reckless Qing troops galloping back and forth on the shore, and ordered with a very ugly expression.

"The fleet is ready, set off to the north immediately!"

"According to the battle plan of the General Staff, raid Suixi!"

"..."

The huge fleet of the Ming army headed north all the way, the sails were blown by the sea wind, and the waves were split on the hull!

The twelve-pointed sun and moon flags are fluttering!

……

After the Qing army took down the defense line set up by the Liberation Army along the coast, Shang Zhixiao did not immediately order a withdrawal to Guangzhou.

Instead, I decided to fix it in situ!
The Qing army fought hard for a long time, with nearly 3000 casualties. From top to bottom, from physical strength to willpower, they were exhausted to the extreme.

Without repairing for a period of time, the army will not be able to move out at all!
Shang Zhixiao ordered the Qing army to attack Caogu on the Leizhou Peninsula, intending to use looting and killing to restore the morale of the army.

But fortunately, Shang Zhixiao's plan fell through.

The people in Leizhou Peninsula were either relocated by the Restoration Army, or they hid in the surrounding buildings.
