The Qing army, who had waited for Wu Qijue not to return for a long time, sent people to find the wall again, but they were shocked when they saw the piled heads of people in Chengjing and the declaration "I want to fight, I will fight" written in blood under the heads. The disgraced Qing army did not dare to stay for long, and then fled back.Shi Lang was furious when he heard the news—even though Wu Qijue wanted to die by himself, but Shi Lang couldn't explain to Kangxi—in a rage, he immediately ordered his men to land on Beishanwei Island to expel the boy scouts on the island.

However, the section of Beishanwei Island close to Luermen is a rocky shoal, and there are many dense bushes and thorns in the middle of the strip-shaped island, so it is not suitable for troops to enter. Therefore, the Qing army can only land from the commercial port in the south of the island.So, at the end of the afternoon of this day, more than [-] warships transported nearly [-] Qing troops and swarmed ashore.

Knowing that there was a wall built outside the commercial port, after going to the island, the Qing army rushed into the British commercial house, felled trees and demolished the door for a long time, and waited until the end of the day before tentatively attacking a section of the wall.But the guarding boy scouts had already noticed the movement of the Qing army. The boy scouts with a total of only 300 people did not fight recklessly with the opponent, and directly gave up the fence and retreated to the artillery fortress to hold on.

Wu Ying, the commander-in-chief of Xinghua Town, was the commander of the Qing army. He knew it was not good when he saw the open space in front of him. road.Du Si led a group of Qing troops to rush over aggressively, only to find dozens of boy scout soldiers waiting for them with firecrackers in front of them.These Qing soldiers either rebelled from the Zheng army or had experienced battles such as Zhangzhou. They knew that the Zheng army's deer guns were powerful, but they had no choice but to start shooting arrows from a distance, hoping to interfere with the Boy Scouts' archers.

Eighty steps, fifty steps, seeing that the Qing army had entered the range of their own side, the leader ordered: "Shoot!"

Almost at the same detonation, the advancing Qing army fell to the ground in a haphazard manner, but the boy scout gunners didn't bother to check their results, but quickly loaded according to the outline of the lesson. Thirty steps, the Qing army It had rushed to within thirty paces, and it happened that the Boy Scouts had finished reloading at this time.

"Squads shoot in turn." An order was given, and after three bursts of the same deafening sound, only half of the enemies remained in front of the boy scouts. At this time, it was too late to reload. Many terrified black soldiers of the Qing army appeared from behind, and with the same order, dozens of pottery pots that resembled a thunderbolt smashed over. "boom!"

Looking at Kunlun Biao from a distance chopping off the head of the injured Qing soldier with a long-handled axe, Wu Ying, who had been promoted to Admiral of Sichuan and Admiral of Fujian Navy because of his achievements in the platform, turned his head and looked around. , there is a dense circle of bamboo sticks buried beside it, although it is not impossible to pass through, but the speed will slow down to an unbearable level, and it will become the opponent's target. Killed in.

"Li Yin!" Wu Ying ordered to the guard of the Foreign Affairs Committee beside him. "You take it up for a while." Li Yin accepted the order with a sullen face, and counted a group of people. At this time, Wu Ying walked in front of these people. "Don't be afraid, just now Zheng Ni's tactics have also been seen by the big guys. They are few, and we can pile them up to death."

The Qing army made a comeback, but the boy scouts still fired two rounds of gunfire first, killing and wounding many Qing troops, and even Li Yin, who was the first to charge, was torn off his chest by a gun and killed on the spot, but this Qing army did not retreat Because Wu Ying sent the second team to block their way of escape.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the Qing army had no choice but to move forward desperately. At this time, a group of boy scouts formed a gun formation and appeared in the original positions of the gunners.Rulin's three long spears seemed like strange pythons baring their fangs, preparing for a fatal blow, but the Qing army, whose rear team squeezed the front team, couldn't escape at all, so the collision happened.

"Kill!" Under the order of the squad leader, fifteen long spears stabbed out unanimously, like a huge wave overwhelming the sky. Although the Qing army tried their best to block it, there were still seven or eight people who were pierced at once and let out a mournful cry. Voice.

The Qing army was just about to take advantage of the opportunity when the boy scouts' guns were exhausted to get close to them, but they never thought that this group of boy scouts forcefully returned the guns with one hand, and at the same time, the fifteen guns of the second squad stabbed at the side of the body again.The blood spray from the wounded when the gun was retracted and the toothache popping sound of the newly pierced spear made a horrible scene, but this scene was not over yet. The boy scouts of the third squad Stabbing up again, the gun array was rolling, but the firecracker team used bamboo sticks as a barrier to slowly reload and sniper. After a while, the bloody Qing army dropped nearly a hundred corpses and dozens of corpses again. The injured retreated, and it was no surprise that these wounded became the best targets for Kunlun to make up the knife.

"Bastard!" Wu Ying was so terrified that he was about to order his subordinates to launch a third attack, but all the faces in front of him were terrified faces. Wu Ying was furious, and she drew her sword and pointed at a chief officer. "You, you lead people into battle again."

Du Si cried and said: "Zongzhen, Hai Ni has sharp firearms. I am afraid that rattan armor soldiers are not easy to deal with. You need to use shotguns to deal with it."

Although people in the world often say that the Qing army paid more attention to bows and horses than firearms, this is just a misunderstanding. According to the plan of the Ministry of War in the early 21st year of Kangxi, the land battalions in Fujian Province were divided into [-] teams for each thousand soldiers, including four teams of horse archers and infantry. The second team of archers, the tenth team of shotguns, the first team of artillery, the first team of rattan soldiers, and the first team of broadswords. Based on this organization table, the shotguns actually accounted for half of the total establishment. But at least there is no shortage of firearms in the Qing army following Shi Lang.

The number of shotguns accounted for half of the entire army, and the Qing court also attached great importance to the training of muskets. As early as the 11th year of Shunzhi (1654), it was stipulated: "Every spring, the Eight Banners' forward guards and horse infantry soldiers are ordered to compare with each other. Shoot, and play shotguns, vertically placed on the ground of 41 bows, each person fires ten shots, and those who hit more than one shot will be rewarded with five silver coins for each shot, and those who hit more than eight shots will be rewarded with three taels of silver for the bow." Kangxi During the years, detailed training subjects such as horse shooting method, forward shooting method, serial rotating shooting method, kneeling shooting method, supine shooting method and other detailed training subjects appeared, not only in the Eight Banners in Beijing, but also in the Eight Banners and Green Battalions stationed in various provinces.

Wu Ying immediately increased the amount with his palm. Yes, he was so angry that he forgot to have the same sharp weapon in his hand, so he quickly mobilized two teams of shotgun soldiers, using bird guns as cover, and the Qing army The third attack began.

Because the power of the shotgun is average but the range is farther than Zheng Jun's deer blunderbuss, so when they saw the Qing army's bird blunderbuss from a distance, the boy scouts who had no capital to spend immediately retreated.Wu Ying was overjoyed to see the difficult Boy Scouts withdrawing from their positions, and immediately commanded the Shotgun Squad to take the lead, and the rest of the troops followed.

But Wu Ying didn't get complacent for a long time, a thunder suddenly sounded, and then a shell dragged the white smoke, plunged into the ranks of the Qing army, and instantly opened a bloody passage.Seeing this scene, Wu Ying was tongue-tied, but before he had time to recall the ministries, two more shells flew over, and immediately bounced and knocked down a piece of land.

In fact, the boy scouts here only have one two-inch artillery team, three small four-pound cannons, but this is enough. The Qing army came from afar, and the artillery they carried were all 500-jin heavy marine artillery, and they were not suitable for disassembly. There is no way to face the firepower of the Boy Scouts.At this time, seeing that the formation of the Qing army was already in chaos, the boy scouts who had just retreated shouted and turned around to kill them back. First they fired a volley, and then dozens of thunderbolts.When the splashing pottery was still causing chaos in the Qing army, the spear formation and the ax team came out together, and immediately beat the Qing army to pieces.Wu Ying wanted to gather his subordinates to stabilize his position, but was thrown into disarray by the defeated soldiers who were hunted down by the boy scouts, and had to flee in embarrassment.The Qing army trampled and shoved each other, and even the Fujian provincial soldiers and the newly attached Zheng army killed each other, resulting in corpses strewn all over the field.Fortunately, the boy scouts did not dare to pursue too much due to insufficient troops, so Wu Ying had a chance to breathe. After fleeing back to the commercial port, he gathered up the remnant army again, but the casualties and disappearances of more than [-] people made Wu Ying lose face.

The ashamed Wu Ying had no choice but to send someone to ask Shi Lang for help. Shi Lang was also very surprised by the result, and immediately dispatched another 500 people to Wu Ying, and at the same time instructed him to use the small number of boy scouts to fight against them. However, the boy scouts ignored them when they were far away, and waited for them with guns if they were close. The Qing army had nothing to do for a while.

"Junmen, the sea is fierce and can be replenished through the southern channel. Wu Zongzhen is difficult to conquer for a while, why don't Junmen land from the north of Luermen?" The north of Luermen used to be an unnamed deserted island, but with the sedimentation, Gradually connecting with the cape in the north, that's why Chen Long, the commander-in-chief of Kinmen Town, had such a suggestion.

"Does Master Chen think that the reason I dispatched troops to capture Beishanwei Island is just to avenge Master Wu?" Shi Lang shook his head, explaining to Chen Long and the generals of the Qing army who were present. "My purpose is to make Zhu Qin firmly believe that our army will enter the bay from the southern channel." Shi Lang paused for a few people to digest his speech, and he continued after everyone showed a thoughtful look. . "The terrain to the north of Luermen is rugged and narrow. It's not suitable for a large army to go to land. Besides, Zhu Qin sent 1 people to wait there. Why did I let Zhu Qin wish?"

Everyone knows what is going on with the current Zheng army, so the 1 people in Zuohuwei and other departments are not enough to make Shi Lang worry. He will rush over, plus the main force of Zheng Kezang Boy Scouts and Youwuwei, and the Qing army did not bring rifles and other equipment. Once the war continues, it will be hard to say whether the victory or defeat is not as good as he imagined. The waterway suddenly frightened Ming and Zheng in one fell swoop. Even if Zheng Kezang still resisted to the end, the Qing army could turn the outside line into a civil war. When taking the initiative, they first captured Chengtian Mansion, then surrounded Anping City, and finally waited for work at ease Defeat the Zheng army who came to help from all walks of life, and completely wiped out the last resistance force of the Zheng family.

"My lords should understand my intentions." Shi Lang scanned the audience and ordered immediately when no one had any objections. "The order to Wu Ying, man, I gave it to him. When there is a commotion, no matter whether we can take down the artillery barracks on Beishanwei Island, at least we can't let the sea reverse stop."
