I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 48: Taking Xia
bang bang bang...

With the sound of cannons, the tiger crouching cannons in front of the Ming army poured bullets on the city wall wantonly. Although most of them missed, a few bullets still fell on the city wall.

The not-so-large marble hit the masonry wall at the top of the city. It cracked a large piece and then bounced up. With terrifying kinetic energy, it opened a hole in the chest of a Qing soldier who couldn't dodge. He was so dead that he couldn't die anymore. .

At this time, the Qing soldiers at the nearby city walls were all frightened. They all lay down on the edge of the city. The cannons below kept ringing, and they did not dare to show their heads at all.

Lin Liang and Lai Chi each led their Ming troops, separated by a large distance, to prevent being accidentally injured by friendly fire, while seizing the opportunity to forcefully enter Xiamen.

Mr. He Qian looked at the series of swift and violent offensives of the Ming army below. He held his hands on the edge of the city, his face looked so ugly that he wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

If this group of rebels were to fight like this, why should they hold on to their guns?

It wouldn't be enough to surrender the city, but he could abandon the city and run away!
When the time comes, it is not unacceptable to take the gold and silver wealth accumulated over the years and go to the countryside to become a rich man.

Unfortunately, it was too late. He had shot and killed so many rebels, but he would not be so naive as to think that if the rebels broke through the city, they would let him, the Qing army commander, go.

No matter how angry Mr. He Qian was in his heart, the Ming army had already begun to forcefully climb the Xiamen city wall under the cover of friendly fire.

The Qing troops from all over the city wall finally showed up, and whether they wanted to or not, they all either took the initiative or were coerced into fighting the Ming troops who had boarded the city.

However, this time the Ming army became ruthless. Not only did they come up with the elite Biao battalion from the third town, but they also marched forward and fought bravely without fear of death.

As the number of Ming troops ascending the city continued to increase, they had already established a foothold in various places on the city wall.

Several Ming troops formed a battle formation and continued to charge and kill at the top of the city.

Although Mr. He Qian led his troops to put out fires everywhere, he still could not stop the overwhelming defeat at the top of the city.

Just when Mr. He Qian was tired of running for his life, suddenly, a burst of cheers was heard from the city.

"Brothers, the spirit of the Qing Dog has been exhausted. Please follow me and open the city gate to welcome Master Wang and fight for his glory and wealth for yourself and your family!" Liu Zhi said impassionedly, holding up his sword.

Hundreds of Qing soldiers under his command also shouted: "Listen to General Liu, sacrifice the city to seize wealth!"

A total of more than a hundred Qing soldiers, with Liu Zhi as the core, quickly attacked the remaining Qing soldiers below the city gate who were responsible for blocking the city gate.

These Qing soldiers never expected that before the rebels could attack from outside the city, their own people would come to stab them first.

Caught off guard, in less than half a quarter of an hour, all the Qing soldiers left behind at the city gate were killed by Liu Zhi. After Liu Zhi took control of the city gate, he immediately ordered without any hesitation: "Open the city gate! Welcome the king's division!"

At the command, the soldiers under his command pulled hard.

"Kakkaka!"

The city gate slowly opened, and a ray of light came through.

A few miles away, in front of the Ming army formation.

"Commander Yang, look?" Zheng Dingrui suddenly pointed in the direction of the city gate.

They saw that although the fighting was still going on at the top of Xiamen City with no victory or defeat, the city gate below suddenly opened. Compared with the top of the city, it looked quite strange.

Weird... Weird ass!
"Xiamen has been defeated, all charge against this town!" As a rare veteran general in the Ming army, Yang Gong reacted in a moment and shouted an order immediately.

When Zheng Dingrui, Liu Guoji, Chen Fushou and others were yelled at by him, they realized that this was a good opportunity and quickly shouted: "Come on! Kill the Qing dogs and seize Xiamen!" Several generals gave the order, and the [-] Ming army Sayazi rushed towards Xiamen and submerged the city gate of Xiamen in a few breaths.

When President He Qian saw someone opening the city gate and seeing the rebels entering the city in large numbers, he only had time to shout: "Shuzi!"

Then without warning, he was stabbed into the neck by a Ming army who climbed into the city on the spot.

"Pfft!"

A large amount of blood spurted out from the wound, and the surrounding Qing soldiers seemed stunned.

This Ming soldier was wounded all over, but he managed to hold on without falling. He raised his sword and shouted: "Your general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Unfortunately, not all the Ming soldiers were Luo Xiaolin, and since he was covered in wounds, the surrounding Qing soldiers were stunned for a moment, then rushed up to him, screaming, and slashed him with swords.

After this young Ming soldier made such a great contribution, he was hacked to death by the crazy Qing army before he even had time to feel happy.

After those Qing troops hacked him to death, they gradually calmed down and dispersed them without even trying to collect Mr. He Qian's body.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Xiamen was completely captured.

Yang Gong and other Ming army generals led their troops to sweep the city of Xiamen while rushing to the top of the city to support the friendly forces.

It took about another stick of incense and the Qing army in Xiamen was completely wiped out. The Ming army captured more than a thousand soldiers, injured more than a hundred people, and killed the Qing army commander Qian Zong who was responsible for defending the city.

It was a pity that the Ming army soldier who killed Qian Zong also died in the battle. Yang Gong sent people to collect the corpse and prepare to report it to Zhu Yijiong later.

The Ming army arrived at Kinmen in the morning, and now it was just after noon. Under the guard of the imperial camp, Zhu Yijiong entered Xiamen City from the main gate on horseback. On both sides of the city gate, Ming troops held weapons and lined the streets to greet him.

Zhu Yijiong rode a horse throughout the whole journey and entered the Xiamen Admiral's Yamen with great dignity, even if the horse was not too short.

"Liu Zhi, the guilty general, bows to His Highness, the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty! Long live His Highness!" Liu Zhi was very bachelor, and he gave a direct salute to Zhu Yijiong, who was wearing a red dragon robe, in the lobby.

On the side, Xia Fang Comrade Xue Yuanhui was tied up, but when he saw Liu Zhi beside him, he was filled with disdain. He immediately closed his eyes and neither knelt down nor spoke.

Quite brave?It's a pity that in front of him, King Zhu, having backbone is useless.

Behind him, Wu Wai, who was wearing Qing general armor, kicked him to the ground. The pain caused Xue Yuanhui, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be reserved, to cry out on the spot.

Xue Yuanhui felt that he had lost face and turned back to glare at Wu Wai.

"Damn it, you dare to glare at me. You asked me to protect you before and you escaped with your life. Why are you so tough?" Foreigner Wu said with a sarcastic look on his face. Speaking of which, he caught the Xiamen Defense Comrade in front of him by accident.Not long ago, he heard that tens of thousands of rebels from Taiwan were crossing the sea to attack Xiamen. He instantly understood that the king had raised an army, and quickly led his troops to help capture the city.

As a result, on the way here, I happened to meet a Qing dog official who was being dragged away by several Qing soldiers. When the guy saw him, he shouted so loudly that he was a fellow commander of Xiamen Defense and asked him to escort him quickly. Depart Xiamen.

Then, and now, Wu Wai never dreamed that he could capture a high-ranking Qinggu official just by bringing his troops here, and he also fell into the trap himself.

He didn't expect it, and Xue Yuanhui didn't expect it either.Now that I heard Wu Wai's sarcastic words, I felt ashamed and secretly regretted that I had to take shortcuts in the first place, or even just take shortcuts!
He also insisted on shouting that he was a fellow intellectual of Xiamen Defense.

　The Tiger Crouching Cannon is equivalent to the ancient mortar. In field battles, lead bullets are usually used with many small iron balls or pebbles as shotguns.
