"A certain Wang Fuchen is here, whoever dares to fight to the death!"

Just when Liu Jinzhong's men threw Shang Zhixin down and took it down, Wang Fuchen also roared like thunder, and took the lead. He was the first to rush across the long bridge outside Guangzhou's Dongguan city on the moat, and "fight" with his horse gun. out of the "pass".

I saw a flintlock pistol in his right hand and a small iron hammer with a short handle and four corrugated armor piercing in his left hand, chasing and killing the fleeing soldiers of the Shang family. The strong man from the Shang family turned around to fight, he shot with his hand and hit the man between the eyebrows, and then he pulled out an axe.With the left ax and the right hammer, the Shangjun outside the left small gate of Dongguan was killed with screams, and he had no power to parry.

At this time, some Shang troops had already rushed out from the secret passage at the root of the city wall, but they were smashed by their own soldiers who were driven away by Wang Fuchen's horses, and they could not form an formation inside the sheep and horse wall.There was a spearman from the Shang family who probably didn't know Wang Fuchen, and held up a three-foot long spear to stab the living Lu Bu to death. As a result, Wang Fuchen struck him on the forehead with a throwing axe, and he was brain-dead without even screaming.Before the man fell completely, Wang Fuchen flew over and snatched the spear from his hand.

Wang Fuchen, who had grabbed the spear, was even more ferocious. He swung the spear and stabbed it to the left, and instantly put it all together!The battlefield inside the sheep and horse wall was quickly emptied a lot!

At this time, soldiers from the Shang family appeared on the crenel on the left side of the Dongguan Wengcheng.The royal soldiers rushing along that passage were not afraid of arrows, but amidst the sound of gunfire, some people still turned over and fell.

However, some of the cavalry of the Wang family carried rifled guns!Although the number is small, it is accurate!All I saw was that these iron cavalrymen with rifled guns got off their horses one after another, and they didn't line up to shoot their guns. They just scattered outside the city moat, relying on their horses as cover, and kept reloading and shooting.

Rifled guns plus "Mini bullets", that is, wood-bottomed cone lead bullets in Wang Zhongxiao's mouth, are very accurate when fired, and those "muskee cavalry" are specially selected sharpshooters, although there are only about [-] people , but soon killed the Shangjun shotgunners and archers on the city wall with heavy casualties!

At this time, Wang Fuchen had already killed the Shang soldiers in the sheep and horse wall on the left side of the Dongguan City Tower in Guangzhou. It was impossible for him to rush into the secret passage and the cave of Tibetan soldiers on a big horse, so he turned back and ran towards the small left gate.The thousand-jin gate at the small left gate was slowly being raised, but it hadn't been fully lifted yet, but Wang Fuchen didn't dare to stay outside Dongguan City for a long time—there were still people firing guns and arrows on the top of the city!So he simply turned over and got off the horse, put away the hammer, drew out the waist knife, protected his head and face, then dragged the spear, bent down and got in from under the jack gate.As soon as he entered, he heard Kong Sizhen's voice: "Brother Wang, we have caught Shang Zhixin!"

Only then did Wang Fuchen heave a sigh of relief, and then followed Kong Sizhen's voice, and found that Shang Zhixin was bound and slumped on the ground with his eyes closed and his face ashen.

"Where's Mr. Liu?"

Wang Fuchen did not find Liu Jinzhong, and there were few people in the Wengcheng, only the No. 30 people led by Kong Sizhen.

"Liu Zongzhen has brought people to the city!" Kong Sizhen said anxiously and quickly, "The flag soldiers of the Shang family counterattacked fiercely!"

Wang Fuchen glanced back, and saw that the jack gate behind him had been completely lifted, and Wang's iron cavalry began to rush in, and one of them even led Wang Fuchen's big horse in.

So Wang Fuchen got on his horse again, pointed the spear in his hand at the bridle path in Urn City, and shouted, "All follow me to the city!"

Afterwards, Wang Fuchen took the lead and galloped along the horse path in the urn city to the city wall.

After reaching the city wall, Wang Fuchen realized that Liu Jinzhong and his men had already fallen into a bitter battle!
Although Shang Zhixin, the actual head of the Shang family, has already been captured by the thief and the king first, the banner soldiers of the Shang family who are lying on the top of the city and the wall are still fighting desperately!

These Banner soldiers under the Shang family clan are equivalent to the Eight Banner soldiers of the Shang family. For more than 20 years, following Shang Kexi is called a tiger's minion, eating and drinking hot food!They are the main force in Tu Guangzhou, they are the backbone in moving to the coast, they take the big money by enclosing land and occupying houses, and they have made a lot of money by monopolizing smuggling.

They follow Shang Kexi, everyone does evil, and every family gets rich!
They have a share in all the bad things Shang Kexi has done!They also have a share of the goods and property that Shang Kexi robbed!
Now that the Shang family is going to die, they can only be buried with them!
In fact, these lackeys of the Shang family are not loyal to the Qing Dynasty at all. They just want to keep their privilege of riding on the heads of the people of Guangdong!That's why in history, they followed Shang Zhixin and devoted themselves to the righteousness of the San Francisco. Liu Jinzhong, Liu Guoxuan's allied forces wiped out the elite of the feudal clan, and even Huizhou was captured by Liu Guoxuan, so they had to raise the flag of rebellion.

But this time. Even if they raise the anti-flag, they won't be able to keep Guangzhou!

Because Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's Guangdong Wang regime relies on the Cantonese, it is impossible for them to spare the Shang family. If the Shang family is smarter and escapes earlier, then Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao will not chase after them, but will Consolidate the rule under the banner of "chasing and killing is gratifying".But the Shang family is reluctant to part with their property in Guangdong!

So, they have to pay it back now!
If you come out to hang out, you always have to pay it back!

Now is the time to pay it back!
The city wall of Guangzhou Fucheng is very wide, and horses can be raced on the top.And now is the era of artillery siege, so the top of the city wall is generally clean, and there will not be too many carbine-repelling guns and wooden fences-once these things are bombarded, they will be smashed into pieces and fly around. , causing great damage to the defenders.

But without these fragmentary obstacles, once the enemy's cavalry rushed to the city wall, it would be a big trouble!
Wang Fuchen was riding a long-legged foreign horse brought from Macau. He was also big, with a big man and a big horse, like a moving iron tower. The Shang Family Banner Soldiers were frightened!
Many of them know Wang Fuchen, Wang Fuchen, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!
The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi rode a war horse and charged up the city wall of Guangzhou, brandishing a spear. Has this official army (I don’t know which official army it is?) Has it entered the city in a large scale?

Just when these Shang family flag soldiers were a little bit timid, Wang Fuchen was already like a mad tiger, roaring and driving his horse, brandishing his spear, and began to charge.Under his sudden charge, the soldiers of the Shang family on the city wall stumbled and became a mess, and were rushed out of a gap in a blink of an eye.

More cavalry of the Wang family also followed, and together with Wang Fuchen launched a cavalry assault on the city wall of Guangzhou!

The Shang family army is still trying to resist and support them, waiting for more reinforcements from various leaders in the city to arrive-the population of the Shang family clan is 10,000+, although some of them followed Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhiying to Shaozhou Prefecture and Nanxiong Prefecture is defending, but there are still 8 to [-] people in the city. If they are fully mobilized, they will always be able to recruit another group of people.

The people in Guangzhou Fucheng have also discovered that something big happened in Dongguan. There are exclamations and shouts everywhere in the city.The melee is also unfolding in various parts of the inner city of Guangzhou Prefecture!

Some Green Battalion soldiers belonging to Liu Jinzhong started to attack first, hacking people and setting fires everywhere in the inner city of Guangzhou, yelling and creating chaos.Many Guangdong governors and Guangdong admirals who were forcibly recruited by the Shang family also took the opportunity to turn their backs.

And the servants of Shangjiafan in Guangzhou Fucheng can still occupy them. Those aged veterans and slaves in clothes, young boys who still look very immature, and even women who can take up arms to fight, are all in the leadership of various officials. Under the organization, desperately resist.

In this way, bloody battles unfolded simultaneously in various parts of the inner city of Guangzhou Prefecture!

But at this time, the sound of the golden drum order suddenly came from the east of Guangzhou Fucheng. Shang Jun on the city wall saw in despair that on the open terrain east of Guangzhou Fucheng, teams were carrying long spears and armed with spears. The infantry of the Guangdong Township Army with flintlock guns or shotguns, with the banners of "Wang" and "Yue", galloped towards the opened gate of Guangzhou's Dongguan City!

There are so many of them, perhaps no fewer than [-]!

Guangzhou City, Pingnan Palace.

Shang Kexi was sitting in his nine halls, wearing the robes of a Qing prince, a ruby ​​official hat on his head, and holding a waist knife awarded by Huang Taiji in his hand.Twisting the rosary in his hand, he was still chanting: "Namo Amitabha."

The main hall was full of his wives, concubines and underage children, who were already crying at this moment.

Gunshots, gunshots, and shouts of killing came in bursts, getting louder and getting closer. This meant that the resistance of the Shang family army could not last long.

This is also a matter of course!
There were not many elites under the Shang family, but Shang Zhixiao sent a batch, and Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhiying took some away to guard the way of retreat. How many of them are still in the city of Guangzhou?

And Wang Zhongxiao, who mobilized Guangdong society by using Juntian, could easily pull out tens of thousands of rural soldiers!
And Wang Fuchen's new army also has less than [-]!
In addition, Liu Jinzhong's green battalion and Zhu Guozhi and Li Lan's thousands of green battalion soldiers also turned against the water, and even Shang Shuying's soldiers and horses in Xushun's government also turned against the water under the leadership of the deputy capital commander Deng Guangming.

After Shang Zhixin messed up the Hongmen Banquet, the end of the Shang family is almost here!

Shang Kexi also knew that he had no way out. Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao beat him in the name of avenging the Cantonese and beating thieves. How could they spare him?

But this old guy didn't do good things when he died, and forced his wife and concubines to be buried with their underage children. Now these people have gathered in the nine halls, and there are always more than 100 people who are full, and they all cry Tears!

His military advisor Jin Guang and his filial son Shang Zhixiao commanded the guards of the palace to resist desperately, and at the same time asked the servants in the palace to bring firewood, silk cloth, and kerosene!
The antiques, calligraphy and paintings that Shang Kexi had collected in the past were also moved to the Nine Halls and piled up in a big pile.

Just wait for Wang Jiajun to kill, and then set the fire on fire!

I have to say, this old guy is really vicious.

I don’t know what is the use of reciting this sutra?

It is already late at night on March 21st, and the battle of Guangzhou Fucheng has been fought for most of the day, and it is coming to an end.

The inner city of Guangzhou Fucheng is already full of flames.

Some of these fires were set off by the rebellious Green Battalion soldiers, and some were set off by the Guangdong Township Army who invaded the city to force out the Shang Family Army and their families who were hiding in the houses. These Shang Family Army are guarding their homes!

In fact, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao were still willing to persuade them to surrender, and they also gave orders to the new army and green battalion soldiers below. Anyone willing to surrender should not be harmed, and they will be exiled overseas in the future.

But the Guangdong soldiers are not so easy to talk to!

Most of the strong men from Guangdong who participated in the township soldiers were destroyed in the coastal relocation.Can you not take revenge now?

Therefore, the killing of prisoners happened everywhere in the city of Guangzhou, which strengthened the determination of Shangfan Ding to resist desperately.But no matter how much they resisted, they couldn't change their fate of doom.

As the flames blazed, all the stubborn mansions were breached. Fighting until late at night, even Shang Zhixin's Shizi Mansion (the original Prince Jingnan Mansion) was destroyed-the defenders here did not resist too fiercely, because they Most of them came from Beijing with Shang Zhixin. They didn't know how much the Cantonese hated them. Moreover, Kong Sizhen personally issued a guarantee, and these people surrendered under the leadership of the palace chief Shi Li Tianzhi.

But the Pingnan Palace next door to Shizi Mansion is different, how can Shang Kexi willing to surrender?Most of the people who are still protecting him at this time are the old people who slaughtered Guangzhou with him. Their crimes are the worst, and they also killed their own children and grandchildren. How can there be any way out at this time?It's nothing more than pulling a few backs.

So the final fierce battle started around the Pingnan Palace!
The Pingnan Palace is said to be a "house", but it is actually a small castle with high and thick walls, trenches have been dug on the outside, and watchtowers have been built at intervals. It is very difficult to fight!
However, no matter how difficult the castle is, there is no way out for Wang Zhongxiao.

Wang Zhongxiao's solution was to bombard with mortars. He placed more than a dozen mortars capable of firing [-]-jin projectiles directly in the Prince's Mansion next to the Pingnan Palace. One after another blasted into the Pingnan Palace, and the palace was ablaze.

While bombarding with mortars, Wang Zhongxiao also ordered people to bring the red cannon placed on the city wall, and used it to directly shoot at the wall of Pingnan Palace. A ten-foot gap!

All the Guangdong soldiers with bayonet-mounted flintlock guns had their eyes reddened. They rushed in like a tide, and soon rushed out of the Jiujian Hall.At this time, the gate of Jiujian Hall was sealed, and sporadic bullets shot out from inside occasionally, as well as heart-piercing cries and curses.Thousands of Guangdong soldiers surrounded the place layer by layer. Instead of attacking by force, they wanted to wait for the cannons to come up, but before the cannons were pulled up, fire broke out in the nine halls, screams and the sound of hitting the gate. It also sounded immediately!
It turned out that Shang Kexi had already ordered someone to nail down the doors and windows, so no one could leave alive!

When Wang Zhongxiao arrived with the cannons, the Jiujian Hall had already been burned into a pile of fire, and the people inside were probably all charred.

Seeing the fire soaring into the sky, Wang Zhongxiao couldn't help but scolded: "This Shang Kexi is really not a thing, I have to bring so many people to be buried with me when I die."

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded from behind him, which seemed to be Liu Jinzhong's voice: "Wang Zhijun, did you see that? Shang Kexi must have died after the Nine Halls were burned! You have to keep your promise and put Hand over the third prince Zhu to me, and I have to take him to Nanjing to become the emperor!"

It turned out that there was a price for Liu Jinzhong's defection!
The price is to hand over the Third Prince Zhu to Liu Jinzhong.
"No! This is impossible!" Immediately someone raised an objection, "The third prince Zhu has to go with me. I have ordered the third prince to go to Xi'an to become the emperor under the decree of the Western King!"

This should be Wang Shirong's voice.

Wang Zhongxiao was also stunned when he heard this. He never thought that the Third Prince Zhu was so popular now that he had two jobs as "Emperor Mingxian" in front of him.

"Wang Zhijun, you can't count your words. The third prince must follow me!"

"Follow you? You are a general soldier, why should you help the third prince become the emperor?"

"There are people behind me. King Jingnan, King Yanping, and Chen Fufu, the commander of the naval aid and suppression army, are all with me. We want to support the third prince and go to Nanjing to become the emperor! And I was born in the Yongwei Battalion. Protecting the third prince is a matter of course!"

The two also got into an argument.

When Wang Zhongxiao didn't know what to say, someone had already seen him.

"Wang Shikai, you have to help Xi Wang, you are Xi Wang's double grandson-in-law!"

"Wang Shikai, you must keep your word and the third prince must follow me!"
