Chapter 1255 Broken City
Seeing the queue of Kun thieves getting closer, Zheng Zhilong stopped to fire a row of guns from time to time, and the bullets began to whistle past him, and people fell down from time to time.Four or five of the Japanese guards who were standing in front of him fell down in an instant.Seeing that there are only two to three hundred opponents, but they beat him to the point where he has no power to fight back. Not to mention a decisive battle, even if he tries his best, he can't do it.Can't help feeling sad and indignant.He knew that if he wanted to fight at this time, he would die in vain, so he had to order people to set fire to the city immediately, and fled to the pier opposite Gulangyu Island under the cover of the black guards and Japanese guards.

Totaro knew that once the army started to flee, it would be defeated like a mountain. If there is no capable and daring general to act as the "pillar" of the palace army, it is easy for the enemy to catch up with the team and cut off the general's head.Immediately called a capable subordinate and ordered him to lead fifty soldiers to serve as the palace army, while others escorted Zheng Zhilong to escape.

After receiving the order, the defenders who stayed in the city hurriedly lit torches and threw them around. They quickly set all the government offices and warehouses in the city on fire, and then burned a few houses before fleeing in a hurry.Because there was no plan to burn the city in advance, and there was no accumulation of firewood and clear oil in the city, the fire was not big.It was a fire on the pier, because a lot of flammable materials such as sugar and cloth and silk were piled up on the pier, and it was quickly turned into a fire.

Seeing their defeat, the rout soldiers took advantage of the situation to loot and rape wantonly in the city and on the pier.The Zhongzuo city hadn't been broken yet, but the city was already in chaos, and the cries were loud.

There were two tasks entrusted to him at the beginning, one was to take down Zhongzuo City—this is not a problem now, Zheng Zhilong had already abandoned the city and fled;

These two missions were originally related to each other. According to the estimation of the staff department, Zheng Jun should be defeated under or inside the city first, and then the city should be captured.But now it has become a parallel relationship.Shi Zhiqi had to immediately command troops into the city to maintain order, put out the fire, and keep the loot.Either ignore the city and continue to chase the Zheng army who has already fled.

However, there is no time to hesitate, Zheng Zhilong is fleeing wrapped in the rout of the army, and the city of Zhongzuo is burning.Shi Zhiqi hesitated for a few seconds, and immediately ordered the artillery, assault engineers, and the third company to occupy the city in the middle left, and led the first and second companies to continue chasing Zheng Jun.

He ordered the radio operator to be called, called Ming Qiu on the Lichun, and reported his decision. Although it would be risky to lead only 200 men to pursue the defeated army, this is a great opportunity to wipe out the Zheng army: in this battle The more generals of Zheng's army eliminated in the war, the more devastating the blow to Zheng's group will be.

Ming Qiu agreed with his determination on the radio: "...the special investigation team has monitoring points nearby, pay attention to the signal on the mountain, they will use signal flags or reflectors to contact you! In addition, the special investigation team has a special search team on the way Hunt and destroy Zheng Zhilong himself, you must pay attention to cooperating with them! Their communication channel is 92.1, call sign Hornet."

Compared with the indiscriminate bombardment of Anping by Xue Ziliang's unit, the task of the elite Hornets team drawn from the Qianshui Association's unit was specific: looking for opportunities to hunt and kill Zheng Zhilong directly on Xiamen Island.

Zheng Zhilong is the head of the Zheng Group. If he can be killed in Xiamen, the Zheng Group that has grown up will be without a leader. Internal and external troubles will toss Zheng's group to the brink of death.

In the old time and space, the Qing army captured Zheng Zhilong, and the once prominent Zheng Group immediately fell apart.Zheng Chenggong's subsequent reunification was actually unsuccessful. Not only did a group of key generals defect to the Manchus, but there were also large cracks among the remaining generals, so that defections and disobedience occurred frequently.Zheng Gongcheng's untimely death has to do with the internal discord he faced that made him physically and mentally exhausted.

Obviously, Zheng Zhilong himself is not only the leader of the entire Zheng Group, but also the backbone and glue of the entire group.Therefore, killing him is the best choice for the Senate.

"Understood!" Shi Zhiqi said and called the messenger:

"Go, call Lu Yuan!"

A few minutes later, the messenger brought over Mr. Lu Yuan, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, wearing an 80 steel helmet and a heavy steel bulletproof suit.

Although the Senate already has a professional armed reconnaissance team to do all kinds of dirty work, it also has a lot of information available.But after all, I lacked an intuitive understanding of Xiamen Island, so I urgently sent Mr. Lu Yuan, who was living in Shandong - Mr. Lu Yuan was very familiar with Xiamen Island - although Mr. Lu was not from Xiamen, he walked around the center and left every day. Running around the ruins of the city, the footprints have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Xiamen Island.More importantly, Elder Lu Yuan had fought in battles and seen blood, so he could be considered an experienced military officer anyway.

"Old Lu, I'm going to chase Zheng Zhilong, you lead the team into Suocheng!" Shi Zhiqi spoke concisely.

"Yes! Don't worry. I will hand over the entire city to the Senate!" Lu Zeyang stood at attention and saluted.

"It's all up to you. It is said that there are mountains of gold, silver, grain, and silk."

Of course Lu Zeyang knew what he meant, so he didn't say any more, but nodded solemnly.The two broke up at the moment.

Seeing that Shi Zhiqi led a company and two companies to chase in the direction of Zheng Jun's retreat.Lu Zeyang called the commander of the third company, the commander of the assault engineer platoon and the commander of the artillery, and briefly arranged their respective tasks and attention points after entering the city, especially bombing and crushing the soldiers and organizing the people to put out the fire.

"Important warehouses and government offices must be guarded." Lu Zeyang said, "If the broken soldiers want to escape from the city, there is no need to intercept them, just let them escape."

He didn't want to form a street battle in the city - the routs could not escape, and they would definitely fight trapped beasts, which would not only increase casualties, but also cause great damage to the city. The Senate had great expectations for the spoils of the Central Left .This expectation cannot be defeated by oneself.

"Flying the star flag at the head of Wulaofeng, drunk orchids under the phoenix tree!"

Standing on the beach and looking at the familiar and unfamiliar Wulaofeng not far away, Lu Zeyang, who wore a camouflage uniform full of road construction migrant workers, chanted like this—although it is not very smooth, the poems and songs that are not smooth at all are in the Senate It's become a thing of the past.

The location of Zhongzuo City was later Xiamen University.Leaning against Wulao Peak and facing the sea, it is a typical ideal configuration of North Mountain and South Water in terms of Fengshui.The five peaks of the five old peaks are shaped like a grand master's chair, and the city is where the high-ranking officials sit on it—presumably Zheng Zhilong is also very satisfied with this tune of "adding officials to rank", so he is entrenched in it. After Xiamen Island, he unceremoniously took Suocheng as his residence.

"It's a pity, this time you, Zheng Yiguan, will be dismissed by our Imperial Senate!" Elder Lu Yuan pointed at the city gate in front of him with his axe.

"Assault engineer on!"

The assault engineers are all sturdy Shandong men wearing steel helmets, and they are well equipped: a double-barreled shotgun made by Lingao on the back, a revolver and a multi-purpose machete in the waist, and a Lingao machine gun in each hand. Factory imitation long-handled fire axe.

The three brigade cannons fired at the east city gate at the same time, and after a few shells were fired, the arrow tower on the city gate collapsed, smoke, dust and rubble flew all over the sky, and the city gate was blown apart.

Under the cover of the volley of the third company's rifles, the assault engineers rushed into the east gate of the Zhongzuo Institute-later the Baicheng gate of Xiamen University.

The expected street fighting did not happen. The Zheng army in the city had already collapsed, and those who remained in the city were stragglers who wanted to take the opportunity to burn, kill and rape.Seeing that the Kun thieves had already entered the city, one by one wrapped up the looted clothes and fled in a hurry.

Lu Zeyang was fully armed, holding a Browning high-power pistol made by Li Yiluo in his hand--the raw materials for making this gun, from steel to springs, were private goods from the old time and space brought by Li Yiluo himself. I really dare not use it as a weapon——walking unhurriedly behind the large army, surrounded by four or five capable soldiers, tightly protecting him in the center, quite a bit of a "chief" posture
"In a row, go to the direction of Lingyun and climb the mountain directly! Take the commanding height!"

"Second row, assault on the forked road on the right! Go to the law school and the arts...ah no, it's to Haiyun! Note that there is an uphill behind here, run at a leisurely pace, don't get tired and become a dog!"

The current Zhongzuo City is naturally different from the later Xiamen University campus in terms of architecture and river waters—for example, after running for a long time, Mr. Lu Yuan did not see the Furong Lake that later raised black swans.But the general topography is still the same, so that Mr. Lu Yuan subconsciously sent out the name of Xiamen University Park as an order...

After the order was distributed, Lu Yuan led the team aggressively and went straight to the destination - the government office in Zhongzuo City.There is no one on the street, only the corpses of the common people and scattered things.Many places in the city were on fire, and the smoke filled the air.Occasionally, a few ghostly figures flashed past the streets and alleys.The soldiers encircled and suppressed along the road, killed and captured many rout soldiers who had no time to escape, and a few who raped prostitutes had no time to put on their pants, were tripped to the ground, and were captured alive on the spot.

Although many people were captured and killed, there was no decent resistance along the way.The broken soldiers were just running for their lives.Soon to the government office.Since Xiamen Island fell into the Zheng Group, the Yamen Office has been the core of Zheng Zhilong's rule in Xiamen Island. He spends more than half of his time here issuing orders: operating trade and encircling and suppressing other maritime forces.There must have been many of his archives and gold and silver treasures here.

There was no one in the lobby of the Central Left Office, and all kinds of ceremonial vessels were scattered.Some houses are already on fire.Lu Zeyang ordered the soldiers to put out the fire and pull the cordon, and at the same time ordered the drum tower to beat the drums. At the same time, he ordered people to use loudspeakers to order the armor in the city to report to the government office-"Anyone who falls within a moment will be slaughtered!"
