Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 695 Attacking Zhangzhou
The defender of Zhangzhou is Zheng Zhilong’s general Zeng De, who is an out-and-out pirate. He followed Zheng Zhilong for many years in commercial warfare and naval warfare. He worked with the Ming army and the Dutch and Portuguese invaders. He is a master of kendo, not only has research on Chinese martial arts, but also has attainments in Japanese swordsmanship. He once served as the leader of Zheng Longlong's personal army, equivalent to a personal bodyguard. Bringing him by his side, big fish eat small fish, Zheng Zhilong annexed Liu Xiang, Zhong Bin and other pirates, big and small, and once became the overlord of the sea, Zeng De contributed a lot.

Later, Zheng Zhilong accepted Emperor Chongzhen's consolation, returned to Daming, and was named Nan'anbo, the general town of Fujian. The important task of the servant.Now sitting in Zhangzhou, responsible for the defense of Zhangzhou, Xiamen and other places.

Hearing that Zhu Yousong's army was coming, he ordered his young general Liu Guoxuan to lead [-] soldiers to defend the city, and he personally led [-] elite soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy.

More than a dozen miles west of Zhangzhou, he encountered Liu Zhaoji's [-] army. It is said that [-] vs. [-], there is no suspense in this battle.

But Zeng De pre-empted the attack, and rode alone to call out, "Who dares to fight against a certain one?"

Liu Zhaoji's men and horses were invincible all the way. The guards along the way were all fleeing after hearing the news, and their morale was high. How could they take these thousands of people seriously at this time? Seeing that the thieves dared to call for battle, Liu Zhaoji's general Fang Dongxu asked for orders to fight, Liu Zhaoji Agreed, Fang Dongxu was born as a military Jinshi, and he was good at wielding a big axe, and he was the champion of the three armies.

After obtaining Liu Zhaoji's consent, he flew out on a galloping horse and went straight to Zeng De.At this time, Zeng De was holding a long sword, not even wearing armor, with high hair, a gold hairpin on top, and dark blue-gray clothes, like a Taoist.

Fang Dongxu yelled, and the ax chopped it off. Unexpectedly, Zeng De flew up from the horse. The sword light flashed and caught people's eyes. Fang Dongxu was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes, and the ax fell slowly. Then Fang Dongxu was beheaded under the horse.

Liu Zhaoji was shocked, Zeng De still pointed at the sword: "Kill!"

He took the lead, brandishing his sword and rushing towards the camp of the Ming army, not wanting any horses.The five thousand army rushed over shouting like a tidal wave.

At this time, all the arrows of the Ming army were fired, and Zeng De swung his sword like a swordsman. The arrows flying towards him fell to the ground one after another. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the ranks of the Ming army. During this period, the Ming army was killed until the corpses rolled over, and death was everywhere.

Liu Zhaoji was furious, and personally smashed his horse and wielded his saber to fight Zeng De, but Liu Zhaoji's long sword was no match for Zeng De's long sword, and he was stabbed by the sword before long. The main general was defeated, the morale of the army was scattered, and the [-] Ming army was defeated by the [-] Judgment army.After Zeng De's victory, he got a lot of spoils, and then led his army back to Zhangzhou City.

The Ming army withdrew for more than ten miles. Liu Zhaoji bandaged the wounds and then rectified the troops. This time he lost thousands of people. He felt that he underestimated the enemy and decided to fight again. This time he pulled out the artillery battalion. Zhunzhangzhou City opened fire together, and the artillery fire shook the sky and the earth. Under the cover of the cannons, [-] Ming troops attacked and killed the top of the city and entered the city.

Then a fierce street battle broke out in Zhangzhou City.The Ming army thought that they would occupy the city by attacking the city, but they were wrong. Zeng De led thousands of troops not to surrender, but to flee, but to resist tenaciously.

A Zeng De is more difficult to deal with. At this time, another brave general came out. This is the 19-year-old Liu Guoxuan. I had to go down half the city.

At this time, Zhu Yousong's imperial camp arrived, and Liu Zhaoji came to see him and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, my humble minister is incompetent."

Zhu Yousong didn't blame him, let him flatten his body, "Victory and defeat are common in military strategists, Zeng De, Liu Guoxuan? I haven't exercised my muscles and bones for many days, so I just use them to practice swords."

Zhu Yousong took off his dragon robe, put on a double armor, hung the emperor's sword on his waist, sat down on the big red horse, and personally led the soldiers to charge into the battle.

In addition to Liu Zhaoji, there were several female generals accompanying them, including Gao Guiying, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Huiying, Huimei and so on.

The emperor was the first to fall into battle, and the Ming army was greatly encouraged.Zeng De's troops couldn't resist, but the two generals Zeng De and Liu Guoxuan each guarded a lane and refused to retreat, and the Ming army who rushed over was killed and injured.

At this moment, Zhu Yousong rushed up and saw Zeng De with a white cloth wrapped around his head, holding a long sword and abandoning his horse to fight. With one sword, he cut open the belly of a Ming army. Seeing the shadow of the "Japanese Samurai", he couldn't help being furious. He flew up from his horse, swung a dragon into the sea, and aimed straight at Zeng De with the long sword in his hand.

Zeng De didn't know who was coming, but when he saw Zhu Yousong flying up from his horse and stabbing at him with a sword in the air, he felt that this general was very skilled in martial arts, so he quickly crossed the long sword in his hand to parry.

The two swords collided, and with a click, Zeng De's long sword broke into two pieces. He was so scared that he took a few steps back. He looked at the half-broken sword in his hand, and saw that Zhu Yousong and Zhu Youjian's big sword was safe and sound. He couldn't help being stunned. Can cut off his sword with a single sword, is it possible that he will use a precious blade?
"Come and die by name!"

"Speaking out will scare you into the urine. I am Zhu Yousong, the great emperor of Hongguang. If you are sensible, kill yourself quickly, or I will let you die without a whole body!"

"You are Zhu Yousong?..." Ceng De was stunned, and he couldn't help but took two steps back. Is this name still valid now? "Mr. Hun, it turns out that your magical skills are invincible, and you won by using this sword to cut other people's weapons?"

"Hey, you're wrong in saying that. Although my sword is sharp, it's not the kind of sword you mentioned. Anyway, I can't use a sword to deal with someone like you. Come on." Zhu Yousong said, holding The sword stuck in the ground.

Zeng De seemed to have been insulted, roared, and slashed at Zhu Yousong with the half sword in his hand, "Go to death!"

A sword light cut towards Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong turned slightly to the side, let the sword edge go, and his hand was like lightning, he grabbed Zeng De's sword-holding wrist, his breath was deep in his dantian, and his five fingers contracted.

Zeng De felt his wrist was caught by an inlay, and the numb pain made his hand loosen, and the broken sword fell down. Before the broken sword fell, Zhu Yousong caught the broken sword with the other hand. Sword, pierced the half into Zeng De's chest with a snap.

Zeng De straightened his body, his eyes widened, he became a body under the inconceivable gaze, and then fell down in a pool of blood.

Once the main general died, the morale of the Juan army was dissipated, and the hundreds of remnants were quickly beheaded. Liu Guoxuan was no match for the siege of Gao Guiying, Ma Jinhua and other female generals, so he had to leave Zhangzhou with the hundreds of remnants and fled.

The Ming army occupied Zhangzhou, and two days later, the brigade headed for Xiamen.
