The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 258 Cavalry
Originally, the Qing army could rely on its own numerical advantage to compete with the Guangfu army evenly!
But as more and more recovery troops came to the city, the Qing army began to be suppressed!

Snapped!clap clap!

The gunshots rang out one after another!

Every time there was a gunshot, a Qing soldier would fall to the ground.

The Grenadiers of the Restoration Army also rushed to the front!
A grenade was thrown out, with black smoke coming from the tail, and fell into the Qing army formation.

Amidst the bang bang bang, the city of Leizhou burst into flames.

The fragments easily tore through the cotton armor of the Qing army and penetrated into the human body.

The Qing army was suppressed and retreated steadily!

It has become a practice for grenades to open the way, heavy armored infantry to break through the formation, and musketeers with knives to kill the enemy.

The powerful hand-to-hand combat ability of the Liberation Army is undoubtedly revealed!

The Qing army was constantly pressed back!

Finally, deserters appeared in the Qing army!

Several soldiers of the Qing army couldn't withstand the pressure brought by the heavy armor of the Restoration Army, so they turned around and fled.

The supervising team wanted to kill the deserters, but these deserters would not sit still, but chose to raise their knives to resist.

The riots after the battle spread rapidly, and the morale of a large number of Qing troops collapsed!
In just an instant, the Qing army finally completely collapsed amid another spontaneous charge by the Restoration Army.

The loud charge is sounded!

The Leizhou General Soldier of the Qing court wanted to organize troops to resist in a corner, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the charge of the Restoration Army.

The flag of the Ming army is flying over Leizhou City again!

Seeing this scene, Zhu Hongyu was not excited at all.

In the deep pool-like eyes, there is only a calmness that seems to be forever calm.

It was expected, wasn't it?
……

When the Ming army took over Leizhou City, the first thing they did was to relocate the people in the city.

And ordered the evacuation of the entire Leizhou Peninsula!
After the wars between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Leizhou Peninsula was also very dilapidated.

Especially in terms of population, the loss is extremely heavy!

From 40 to [-] people at the peak, there are only a little over [-] people left today.

However, even so, there are not many people who are willing to obey the order of the Restoration Army and move obediently.

A large number of people built towering earth-enclosed buildings based on clans or villages to protect themselves.

Say nothing and refuse to leave your hometown!

After the persuasion failed, Zhu Hongyu had no choice. He couldn't order the people to fire on the people, right?

He can only move the obedient people away, and let the disobedient ones go naturally!

However, he was not worried about the safety of those people.

After so many years of war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, these people survived because they had their own way of life.

Take the clan as the unit, form a village to protect yourself.

No matter whose family's soldiers came, the whole family hid up and down in the enclosure, and then sent representatives to pay money to reward the army!
However, if those rebellious soldiers still want to do excessive things, the men in the enclosure are not just for display.

It's a big deal to fight!
The Tuwei building is very strong, and there are a lot of food stored in the building, as well as earth guns, bows, arrows, knives and spears.

It is impossible to capture an earthen building without killing hundreds or thousands of people!
If they were not forced to do so, the rebels would not be willing to eat such a walled building.

……

The head of the Wang family politely sent away the officials of the recovery army, and gave the officials of the recovery army 500 taels of silver.

But the order to migrate was rejected!

"Our family's ancestors all lived here. The family fields, ancestors' graves, and clan ancestral halls are all here."

"The roots of my royal family are here!"

"I can't go!"

The head of the Wang family sighed and said to his son.

How could he not know the danger of Leizhou Peninsula now?

The Leizhou Peninsula was about to become a war zone again. Ming and Qing fought fiercely, and the most casualties were often not the soldiers of both sides, but ordinary people.

But just as he said, the roots of the Wang family are here, and they cannot leave even if they are killed!

"Ask the clan elders to pass on a message to each household, asking each household to move into the enclosure and prepare food and supplies in advance."

"Then ask each family to produce males, and let Lao Tzu practice them!"

"Get ready!"

The head of the Wang family said to his son.

Looking at the wilderness in the distance and the surrounding buildings behind him, the Patriarch of the Wang Family sighed and said in a tone full of loneliness.

"In this troubled world, when will it be the end!"

He was born in the Wanli year, and when he was a young man in his prime, he experienced the last flourishing age.

Compared with the broken world now, the contrast is too obvious!

His son said from the side.

"No matter how chaotic the world is, it will end sooner or later!"

The Patriarch of the Wang family looked a little stooped, but he just spoke.

"Order someone to strengthen the surrounding building again!"

……

On the other side, the Qing army's rescue messenger arrived in Guangzhou.

Shang Kexi received the news that the Ming army invaded Leizhou and almost the entire peninsula fell.

The moment he heard the news, he was furious.

"Damn, damn Ming thief!"

"Are you really arrogant? How dare you be so rampant?"

Jin Guangzu said.

"The bright thieves are really hateful. Taking advantage of their naval power, they unscrupulously harassed our Qing coast."

"If my army doesn't arrive, they will unscrupulously destroy the place. When my army arrives, they will react and leave across the sea. It's really annoying!"

Shang Kexi remembered his son's death, burst into anger, took a deep breath and said.

"Then make them unable to react!"

"Send cavalry to attack the Leizhou Peninsula, before the Ming thieves have time to evacuate, give the Ming thieves a powerful look!"

Jin Guangzu also nodded in agreement.

The Qing court did not have a navy, and the only way to deal with the speed advantage brought by the Ming army's navy when marching in coastal areas was to use cavalry.

At this time, the Qing court had a huge cavalry group in its hands!
Shang Kexi alone, King Pingnan, has a cavalry team of ten thousand people at hand!

The cavalry power directly controlled by the Qing court will only be more!
Angrily, Shang Kexi ordered the deployment of troops to take back Leizhou.

An Eight Banners cavalry team of more than [-] people quickly regrouped, and then set off southward.

They have one person and two horses, do not carry artillery, and rely on local supplements and looting for logistics, so as to avoid the drag on the marching speed from logistics to the greatest extent.

At a speed of hundreds of miles per day, they rushed towards the Leizhou Peninsula!

More than [-] cavalry galloped on the ground, the scene can be described as covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of the horses trampling the ground was louder than thunder.

Wherever the cavalry passed, there was scorched earth!
Even within its own borders, the Qing army went all the way to the south of Caogu.

Although the cavalry of the Qing army had nothing to do to massacre the city for the sake of marching speed, the damage caused to the place by the crossing of more than ten thousand cavalry was unimaginable.

Villages turned into sea of ​​flames, and the fresh life turned into cold and broken corpses in front of the sharp saber.

The Qing army was all cavalry, with one man and two horses, and they marched very fast!

Counting from Guangzhou receiving the news of the attack on the Leizhou Peninsula, in less than ten days, the Qing army reached the front line of Gaozhou Prefecture.

However, the Qing army did not enter the Leizhou Peninsula immediately, but chose to rest in Gaozhou for a few days to restore horsepower and physical strength!
