Zushantou, located in the east of Haicheng Shuitou, was originally a hill on the side of the official road.There used to be a Honggun Temple built here in the Wanli period to worship Baosheng Daogong, but it has been abandoned for many years because of the implementation of the seal order in the early years.However, there are more than 3 Qing troops stationed around this abandoned small temple today, who were unable to advance or retreat because of the fall of Shuitou.

Among them, there are local green battalion soldiers from Fujian, Guangdong green battalion from Chaozhou, the Eight Banners stationed in Fuzhou, the Eight Banners of the Han Army who followed Pingnan General Ta Lai to the south, and even the so-called Tianhuang nobles and nationalists. Jue Luo's full eight banners.

The camp is densely populated with fights, and from time to time there are groups of Qing troops who are looking for the camp to shuttle and patrol, a chilling scene of the imminent battle.However, this silence did not last long before it was broken by a rush of horseshoes.

The Qing soldiers in the patrolling camp subconsciously stepped aside to hide, but before they had time to fix their eyes on who was so bold, they felt a gust of wind passing by their identity.Only then did the terrified soldiers see clearly that it was a few sweaty and dusty riders who rode their horses over their heads.

The Qing army patrolling the camp spit on the ground angrily, but saw the riders rushing straight into the Chinese army camp of Duan Yingju, the supreme commander of the entire army and admiral of the Fujian Army Division.Knowing that something was wrong, they subconsciously looked at it for a while, only to see that after a while, more than a dozen Chinese Gohash rushed out in a hurry.

"Zheng Jun's barbarian is here." The foreign committee leader blurted out the general manager, and after he finished speaking, his face changed drastically and he looked around. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise he might have his head chopped off just because he wavered the morale of the army. "Why are you still standing there!" The general who escaped from death had no time to congratulate his good luck, so he hurriedly scolded his subordinates who were at a loss. "Not to continue patrolling"

On March [-]th, early in the morning, the thin morning mist had not completely dissipated. The gate of the Qing army's Zu Shantou camp, which had been closed for several days because of Liu Guoxuan's attack, finally opened slowly. In addition to doctors and clerks, the Qing army brigade filed out, and soon formed an array in front of Zheng Jun who was pressing over.

A few rows of cannons and firecrackers were fired at each other, and the two sides fought together.The Zheng army's frontal troops were led by He You, who had done all the crimes and made great contributions. He personally went into battle, dodging from left to right, and defeated the Qing army several times in a row.Seeing Zheng Jun's menacing approach, Duan Yingju mobilized troops to counterattack. Because Zheng Jun had few soldiers, the Qing army gradually gained the upper hand.

"Kill!" He You, wielding a broadsword, slashed to death a Qianzong of the Qing army who was advancing, and then reined in the horse under his crotch. The horse stood upright amidst a roar, and avoided a spear stabbed by a Qing army in time. , and then the iron hoof fell down, trampling this person's head into a pool of rotten watermelon with a thousand catties of force.

"General!" He You's personal guards rushed over from behind, covering the sudden retreat of the general, waiting for He You to retreat to a relatively safe place, one of the personal guards reported. "Liu Junmen didn't want to call in the army to reinforce the headquarters, and he also said that he must either ask the general to die in battle, or just escape."

"Liu Guoxuan is an aggressive general." He You bared his teeth and smiled. "If you run away again, I can't afford to lose this person, and I'm sorry for the king." Speaking of this, He You took a deep breath. "You are not afraid of death." Without waiting for his subordinates to respond, he urged his horse. "If you are not afraid of death, kill the Tartars with me, kill!"

He You, who was like a mad tiger, rushed back to the battlefield with a small number of soldiers. His actions inspired the courage of the soldiers of the Zheng army around him, and indeed stopped the momentum of the Qing army's advance.However, the strength of the Qing army on the center line was three times that of the Zheng army, and the high morale could not change the status quo of insufficient troops. Therefore, the Zheng army had to fight and retreat soon after the remaining courage similar to returning to the light was exhausted. Closer to the Chinese army.

"Congratulations to the army, congratulations to the army, there is no suspense in this battle." The generals around Duan Yingju saw the momentum of their own approach, and they couldn't help but scrambled to applaud the general. "Although Liu Guoxuan's reputation is great, now it seems that it is only mediocre. The military sect can be defeated in one battle, and the emperor will reward him the next day. Don't forget the subordinates in the military sect."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Duan Yingju also squinted his eyes proudly, secretly wondering whether this great victory could be exchanged for a hereditary title, and then he thought about how to protect this military merit, and which aspect needs to be considered, between himself and himself How much benefit can the faction get from it, but if you want to think about it, it doesn't prevent him from promising empty favors. "As long as we win the battle this time, I will definitely report to the emperor your contribution and hard work, everything is easy to talk about."

"Junmen, something is wrong!" But Meimeng finally had a moment of sobriety, and when Duan Yingju was making many promises drunkenly, news came from the two wings that made him terrified. "Liu Guoxuan sent Jiang Sheng and Wu Shu to attack from left and right. The left-wing Guangdong green battalion has collapsed, and the right-wing Fuzhou garrison Eight Banners is almost unable to withstand it."

"Quick, quick, let Hui'an Town reinforce the left wing immediately, and transfer Shaowu Town and the Eight Banners of the Han Army to the right wing."

Duan Yingju was still dealing with it in a hurry. Liu Guoxuan didn't give him a chance to breathe. Seeing the chaos behind the Qing army, Liu Guoxuan led his elite troops to rush towards him. With just a light stab, Zheng Jun sent Fujian Green Camp The formation that had already formed a breakthrough was dented by Shengsheng.

"He Lao San, do you still have the strength?" Liu Guoxuan's horse head passed He You, who was covered in blood, and when he saw that his colleagues in the past were in such a mess today, he asked loudly with a smirk. "If you still have the strength, you can fight with me. If you can't take it anymore, then you can take care of it later and rest."

"Liu Wuping, you will take advantage of it." He You wiped the blood on his face, just about to straighten his back but felt exhausted, so he had no choice but to soften his words. "I don't care about you. If you win, you will have to drink [-] cents of wine. If you lose, you old boy will not go back."

"Did you hear that, General He said, if we men lose the battle, don't come back!" Liu Guoxuan smiled, and he didn't take He You's softness for granted. Instead, he took this opportunity to motivate his men fighting spirit. "Chop off Duan Yingju's dog's head and give it to General He as a feast! Boys, kill me!"

The Fujian Green Camp was followed by the Manchurian Eight Banners camp, but the Manchurian Eight Banners were no longer the invincible and powerful army that they had at the founding of the country. Their bones were crisped by the prosperity of the Central Plains, and they collapsed under the impact of Zheng Jun, and fled back with a roar. Going, not only affected the entire Qing army's formation, but also dispersed the reinforcements sent by Duan Yingju.

"It's over! It's over!" Seeing the sudden reversal, Duan Yingju wanted to cry, but he felt as if he was in a daze, and sat down on the murmurer, but the people around him couldn't just look at him in a daze, so they didn't care Up and down, pull him up and run until he gets on the horse. The official admiral has not yet woken up from his nightmare.

"Kill!" The so-called defeat is like a mountain. In the era of cold weapons, except for a few battles such as the Spartans at Wenquanguan and the white soldiers at Hunhe, it is rare to fight to the last soldier in a real face-to-face battle. , and more often, the killing and injury occurred at the moment of pursuit. Just like the current situation, the Qing army who lost their helmets and armor was chased and killed all the way, and many who knelt down and begged for mercy were also killed by the murderous Zheng Jun. Hacked on the spot.

"It's not good, there are southern barbarians ambush here." On Zhangquan Avenue, the few suspects Liu Guoxuan had ambushed in advance played a role. Hong Qi immediately turned around and ran away. In order to run faster, he even discarded his weapons and armor. As for the cumbersome food and supplies, the roads were piled up. The Qing army also hoped to slow down the opponent's pursuit speed.

Zheng Jun's scouts caught up with Liu Guoxuan's figure: "Report! Report to Commander! Duan Yingju has led the Qing army to escape into Haicheng City."

"Siege the city immediately." This time Liu Guoxuan again won more with less, but the strength of the Qing army was still there, and the Zheng army suffered a lot of casualties before, so he didn't dare to give the opponent a chance to breathe. "Order Zhang Xiong to lead the Pleiades Camp to attack Pinghe, then order Su Rui to attack Zhangping, tell He You to lead his troops to clean up the battlefield, and then meet at the city of Haicheng."

After the Qing army fled into Haicheng, Liu Guoxuan ordered his men to dig trenches outside the city overnight. At this time, the Qing army had not yet recovered from the defeat in the morning, and they were anxious and thought that Zheng Jun's actions were for the purpose of attacking the city the next day. Prepare, so just guard the city wall cautiously and dare not attack.He was shocked when he found out that Zheng Jun had diverted water to block Haicheng the next day, but it was too late.Not only did Liu Guoxuan send musketeers along the trenches to deploy defenses and shoot out of the Qing army, but he also dug several trenches outside the first trench, so that Haicheng was completely sealed off.

"What? Surrender?" Looking at the letter of persuasion sent by Zheng Jun, and then sweeping the incompetent in front of Zheng Jun but in front of himself, the Man Ba ​​Banner officer Zuo, who has recovered from the loss of the defeat Yingju reluctantly dropped the letterhead in his hand. "Wishful thinking, Duan has accepted the emperor's kindness and Jianba as the admiral of Fujian, so he dare not have the heart of rebellion." Duan Yingju comforted the dejected green camp officers around him. "Don't worry, the imperial court will not ignore us. Just wait and see, there will be reinforcements."

"Junmen, I also know that the imperial court will send reinforcements, but this food?" Most of the soldiers from Fujian and Guangdong are here, and I don't know how long it will take when the reinforcements from Zhejiang and Jiangxi arrive. Also starving. "Junmen, you must make advance plans."

"Pre-plan?" Duan Yingju thought for a while. "How many more horses are there?" Mu Boxifo, the commander of Fuzhou's garrison of the Mongolian Eight Banners, hesitated to speak. Seeing his expression, Duan Yingju sighed. "Of course the horses don't need to be killed now, but once the food runs out, the people of the whole city, come here, go out of the city to plead with Zheng Ni, and let the people of the whole city go out of the city."

Duan Yingju's calculation is not bad, let the common people go out of the city without food, so that the Qing army can get a supplement of civilian food, and it can also make the Ming and Zheng side bear the burden, and even get the good reputation of Wanjiasheng Buddha. Three eagles, but he didn't realize that the siege of Haicheng would last longer than he imagined
