Chapter 105 Embarkation and Evacuation

The firearms were fired from a distance with turtledog guns, and the infantry on the mountain bombarded the Qing army with artillery. When the Ming army approached within fifty steps, the Lumi Gunners began three-stage attacks. Because it was a condescending charge, the soldiers behind stood at a relatively high position, and the firearms could shoot over the heads of their killers.

The new army killers of Jinyi rushed to the Qing army formation. The knife player in front ignited the thunder and threw it out.

"Boom boom boom" A series of deafening explosions sounded in the Qing army formation. The sky-shaking thunder exploded with balls of flames, and the iron beads flew across, blowing up a large number of Qing soldiers. The Qing army, who had suffered the sky-shaking thunder before, ran away one after another. For a moment, the formation was in chaos and it was impossible to organize an effective interception formation.

Then the spear soldiers and other hand-to-hand combat soldiers followed him with the Yuanyang formation to kill the Qing soldiers blocking the road. The Qing army with a chaotic formation could not resist the Ming army's Yuanyang formation. Duoduo could only watch the Jinyi New Army breaking a bloody path in the Qing army formation and heading straight to the beach.

Originally, many Qing soldiers gathered on the beach, but were beaten apart by the Zheng family navy's bombardment. When the Ming army rushed to the beach, no one could stop them anymore.

The more than 2,000 Jinyi New Army, who was leading the way, fought a bloody path, and the more than 9,000 infantry behind them also placed the raft on the thin logs, allowing the raft to slide down the mountain.

The Qing soldiers discovered the intention of the Ming army and immediately surrounded them, trying to go forward and stop the infantry behind, trying to stop the remaining infantry. However, rafts suddenly rushed down from the mountain and crashed into the Qing army crowd, knocking the Qing army who was trying to stop them, and then the Ming army was shouting and rushed down from the mountain.

Gong Xiaoda, who stayed on the top of the mountain, continued to send flag-speaking signals to the Zheng family navy. Zheng Sen got the signal from the mountain and immediately ordered the big ship to approach within two hundred steps from the sea to suppress the Qing army, while the small boat rowed up to the beach.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the ship is coming, you guys get on the boat!" Zhao Peng said to Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cilang nodded, jumped onto a small sampan, turned to Zhao Peng and said, "General Zhao, be careful!"

But Princess Kunxing refused to get on the boat. She grabbed Zhao Peng's arm tightly: "Zhao Lang, you can go together."

"Your Highness Princess, I can't leave behind my brothers behind. Hurry up and follow your prince and brother to leave first! I'll stay here and wait until the brothers are safe, I will come to find you!" Zhao Peng said, then picked up Princess Kunxing and carried her into a small boat and placed it in the cabin.

"Hurry up, take His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess away! I have to stay and pick up my brothers!" Zhao Peng said loudly.

After saying that, Zhao Peng returned to the Mandarin Duck Formation, stood with his brothers, and used the neat Mandarin Duck Formation to kill the Qing soldiers who were intercepting his own infantry.

The infantrymen who broke through the siege were not slaughtered at this time. They knew that they could survive only by breaking through the siege. The desire to survive made them all unstoppable, and they all shouted and rushed down. In front were spearmen. These new soldiers composed of refugees held spears and rushed into the Qing army.

The Qing army shot locust-like arrows, and the infantry blocked them with shields. Many arrows leaked through the gaps in the shields and shot into the crowd. Many soldiers who were caught in the arrow fell down. However, at this time, many of the new soldiers who were vacant in the refugees had already had armor. In the past few victories, many Qing army armor were seized and equipped to the spearmen in front.

The armor saved the lives of most of the new recruits in the front row. The Qing army's light arrows almost did not cause much damage to them. Except for the soldiers who were shot in the limbs and arrows in the face, the rest of the soldiers were safe and sound.

When they entered the close-knit fight, the spearmen in front fought to the death against the Qing army. Although they were still a group of treacherous refugees not long ago, after this period of battlefield experience, they had already gained some combat experience. They also knew that the formation of spears could make opponents with much more powerful martial arts than themselves, and they had no choice but to do anything to them.

While the spearmen were resisting the Qing army, the bird gunners who followed behind them took the opportunity to output firepower and drove the fierce Qing soldiers into a horse's nest one by one.

This is also due to their breakthrough in the Jedi, which was able to burst out with such powerful combat power. If they had fought on weekdays, the recruits formed by these refugees would probably have collapsed after a meeting.

Zhao Peng took the two thousand Jinyi New Army to pick up the retreating Ming army's ordinary infantry. The Zheng family warships behind him used firepower to cover Jinyi New Army from afar. The overwhelming artillery shells kept hitting the Qing army's crowd, defeating the Qing army. After Jinyi New Army approached the Qing army, Zhao Peng ordered all the thunderstorms to be thrown out.

The Jinyi New Army threw out all the remaining thunder, exploded a passage in the Qing army formation, and safely responded to the retreating infantry.

On a high ground not far away, Dorgon put down the thousand-mile mirror in his hand and exclaimed: "The Minggou actually has such a giant ship, as towering as a mountain, sound of cannons like thunder, masts like forests, and thousands of cannons are fired together, which is as terrifying as this!"

After saying that, Dorgon ordered: "Let our people retreat quickly and don't die in vain at the beach!"

Hong Chengchou asked, "Regent, can you let go of the fake Ming prince and the fake Ming prince consort like this? That would be the release of the tiger back to the mountain! If these two people are not eliminated, it will be a great concern for my Qing Dynasty."

"Of course I know this, but Zheng Nihaike's navy has arrived. What good plans can Jiuheng stop the fake Ming prince and his son-in-law?" Dorgon sighed helplessly.

"The servants have no good plans. I never thought that the navy Wu Sangui was so vulnerable." Hong Chengchou could only kneel down and accused him of guilt.

Wu Sangui next to him quickly knelt down: "Prince, the servant is incompetent, I hope the prince will punish him!"

Dorgon laughed and helped these two good servants of the Qing Dynasty: "Two, please come up quickly, King Pingxi, Grand Secretary Hong, our army was defeated in this battle, not the crime of war! Gu Su heard that the northern people rode horses and the southern people were sailing boats, but he never thought that the southern people had such a giant ship!" As he said that, Dorgon pointed to the Zheng family army flagship that was spitting out flames on the sea: "Such a giant ship is so big, with thousands of cannons being fired at the same time, and it was flew for dozens of miles. Even if our army had thousands of troops, they could not get close. Can the two have good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Wu Sangui answered truthfully: "Slaves are incompetent and have no good plans."

Hong Chengchou replied, "Prince, I think our army should ignore Zheng Zhilong for the time being. We should destroy the Chuanggui first. When the Chuanggui is destroyed, pacify the north, and then go south to Jiangnan! Once the Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places are like giant ships, Zheng Ni is a rootless duckweed! He will stop accepting Zheng Zhilong and promise to be a high-ranking official and generous salary, and he will not be afraid that he will not surrender."

Dorgon nodded and gave an order to Suksaha beside him: "Order the order to withdraw the troops by the sound of the gold!"

The golden sound sounded, and the Qing army, who was blown away by the Zheng family navy, finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and retreated, making way for Zhao Peng's troops who broke through.

Zhakana, tied like rice dumplings, was also taken down by the Ming army's auxiliary soldiers. Zhao Peng looked at Zhakana and ordered the soldiers on both sides: "Take this kid on the boat, take it to Nanjing, and execute it on a date at silence!"

"No!" Two Jinyiwei took Zakana onto a small boat.

Seeing that the Qing army had retreated from the seaside and all his brothers had gathered at the seaside, Zhao Peng ordered: "Brothers, we can board the ship!"

Some soldiers boarded the small boat rowed by the Zheng family army and prepared to take the small boat to board the large boat; some soldiers boarded the raft directly and prepared to take the raft directly to Jiaodong by raft.

In the breakout battle just now, the Ming army suffered more than 700 infantry soldiers, more than 300 seriously injured, and more than 1,200 slightly injured; the Jinyi New Army suffered 26 seriously injured, nineteen seriously injured, and eighty-seven slightly injured. The Qing army suffered losses of at least 2,000 people, of which about 1,000 people died of artillery bombardment by the Zheng family navy. When the Ming army broke through, it killed nearly 1,000 more Qing soldiers, which can be said to have won a great victory.
