The city gate of the fort was opened. Hao Yaoqi, who arrived in time, saw that the city gate was open and the fire on the top of the city shot into the sky. He jumped up first, pulled out his knife and pointed forward: "Kill!" Wang Fuchen and Gan Hui followed behind, and three thousand Huai army iron-armored soldiers rushed into the city.

The remaining defenders on the fort could not resist at all. After dozens of people were killed, the rest of them threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Tieqiao saw Gan Hui and asked, "General Gan, has your Zheng family's navy reached the periphery of the Pearl River Estuary?"

"Here, when the river stop cable and underwater stakes are cleared, we send a signal and the lord and the others will come in." Gan Hui replied.

"Okay, I'll send a signal to ask the brothers of the navy to clean up the river ropes and underwater stakes." Tie Hammer nodded and said.

"Bang" a firework rocket rose into the air.

Seeing the firework signal, the small boat from the Navy Frogman Camp ambushed in the reeds of the tributary sailed out and sailed towards the Pearl River Estuary. When the boat passed by the Humen Fort, the soldiers of the Navy Frogman Camp sent out a lantern signal to the night on the shore.

The small fleet arrived at the waters of the Pearl River Estuary. The sky was slightly bright. Soon after, the sun rose, and the golden sunlight shone on the river surface, and the blue sky was cloudless. Looking out from the Pearl River Estuary, I saw that the sail shadows could be vaguely seen on the calm sea in front of me, which was the Zheng family navy.

I found a large stone with iron chains on the shore, and there was the location of the river cable.

"Roar the boat over." said Zhang Rui, the commander of the Navy Frogman Camp.

The soldiers of the Frogman Camp rowed the boat and arrived at the middle of the river line. A soldier jumped off the boat, dived into the water, touched the iron chain of the river line, and surfaced again: "Sir, I found it, I can release mines."

A mine was hung on the boat, and a large stone was tied to the bottom of the mine, so that the mine would not float to the surface, but to sink to the bottom of the water. The frogman soldier who was working under the water tied the mine to the iron chain of the river blocking rope, then lit the underwater fuse, and then floated out of the water and climbed onto the boat: "Go away quickly, I have already ignited the fuse."

"Let's go!" Zhang Rui shouted.

The soldiers rowed desperately, and the boat left the river cable and rowed towards the safe area. After about a stick of incense, Zhang Rui saw a huge column of water rising from the river behind him, and then the loud noise of the mine explosion echoed on the river surface, and the echo of the explosion could not stop for a long time.

"Come and take a look." Zhang Rui shouted.

The boat turned the bow and rowed towards the place where it exploded. When it arrived at the position of the river junction cable, a frogman jumped off the boat and dived into the bottom of the water. This time he went into the water, but he couldn't find the river junction cable. He took a deep breath, held his breath, and stumbled into the bottom of the water, diving into the bottom of the river several feet deep under the water, and then he touched the broken iron cable.

At the same time, three other boats were searching on the river surface north of the river cable. The boat kept stretching out bamboo poles to detect whether there were any underwater stakes at the bottom of the river. Not long after, a soldier suddenly shouted: "I found it! There is something underneath here!"

Shi Changyi Yuanheng said: "Go down and go under the water to take a look."

A frogman soldier jumped into the water, took a deep breath on the water surface, dived into the bottom of the water, and soon touched a wooden stake. Then he opened his eyes, and the bitter salty river water entered his eyes. The taste was extremely uncomfortable for ordinary people, but these frogmen who grew up by the sea had long been used to it.

The river water at the mouth of the Pearl River is naturally salty. Because of the tidal effect of sea water, sea water can flow back into the Huangpu area and even upstream during high tides.

The frogman soldier opened his eyes and observed under the water. He found a large area of ​​underwater stakes nearby. So he floated up and pointed to the water area and said, "This area is underwater stakes. Sir, we can blow up all this place."

Two more frogman soldiers jumped into the water, and two mines were placed on the boat. The soldiers placed the mines with stones on the edge of the underwater stakes, ignited the underwater fuse, and then surfaced, climbed onto the boat, and retreated to a safe area.

"Boom boom" Two water columns soaring into the sky rose from the bottom of the water, accompanied by violent explosions, and the water columns that rushed to the water surface flew into the sky with countless broken wood chips.

The boat returned to the blasting area and found pieces of broken wooden stakes and broken wooden boards floating on the river. The underwater stakes built by the rebels spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and were easily shattered by two thunders.

Two other small boats also searched the river surface and found an underwater stake, which immediately dropped the mines and exploded. After a morning of operation, the soldiers of the Navy Frogman Battalion finally opened a passage for the Zheng Family Navy fleet moored outside the Pearl River Estuary.

"Bang" A firework rocket rose into the air from the small boat. The soldiers on the Humen Fort saw the firework rocket and immediately lit the beacon signal on the beacon tower, telling the Zheng Family Navy: "The underwater obstacles at the estuary of the Pearl River have been cleared and you can enter the Pearl River."

Zheng Zhilong just heard a series of explosions in the estuary of the Pearl River. He knew that the Huai Army had controlled the Humen Fort. So he turned over from the couch, sat up, climbed up the helm, and looked at the waters inside the estuary of the Pearl River with a telescope. When Zheng Zhilong saw the small boat that was just working, he immediately asked his personal soldiers to order: "All ships, draw their anchors! Get ready to set sail!"

The Zheng family army pulled up anchor chains one by one, ready to set off. On the four 400-ton warships that combine Chinese and Western styles, the gunners on the gun decks nervously loaded gunpowder. The drums on each ship rumbling, and sails slowly rose.

The wolf smoke rose up on the fort, sending a signal to the Zheng family's fleet that could enter.

"Drive the ship! Enter the estuary of the Pearl River!" Zheng Zhilong shouted.

The Zheng family army fleet passed through the Pearl River Estuary, sailed into the Pearl River, and sailed upstream.

At the mouth of Dongjiangkou of Fengpu, the rebel navy also discovered wolf smoke rising from the direction of the Humen Fort.

"What does this wolf smoke signal mean?" asked one of Xu Long's personal soldiers.

In fact, beacon smoke is not simply a simple ignition of beacon towers, but a clever use of additives to make beacon smoke rise into different shapes and colors. Such beacon smoke contains various signals, such as how far the enemy is and how many soldiers and horses the enemy has, all transmit signals through beacon towers. Each army uses different beacon smoke signals. The rebels naturally don’t understand what the beacon smoke signal sent by Li Guodong to the Zheng family army means.

Xu Long turned his head to look at Fengyan, and suddenly he thought of something: "It's broken, could it be that Li thief sneaked into our fort? He put Zheng Ni's fleet into the estuary of the Pearl River?"

"Zheng Ni?" The personal soldiers and Governor Luo Chengyao were all shocked.

Zheng Family Navy, what does this mean? Zheng Family Navy is a symbol of invincibility in the East of this era!

Xu Long shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, send a war to Xiangshan, and ask Ma Dusi to ask Hongmaoyi's fleet to help us immediately!"

Ma Dusi is Ma Jixiang, who is a close confidant of the pseudo-Yongli Emperor. This man once served under Gao Qiqian's command, but later lost Beijing and Ma Jixiang fled. Because this man had done many bad things with Gao Qiqian and had been on Zhang Shuheng's wanted list, he did not dare to go to Nanjing, but fled to Guangdong.

The pseudo-Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang ascended the throne in Guangzhou. When Ma Jixiang saw the opportunity, he went to join the pseudo-Emperor. As a result, Zhu Youlang appointed him as the commander of the Jinyiwei.

At this time, there were three commanders of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, one was Zhang Shuheng, one was Ma Jixiang next to Emperor Yongli, and the other was Wu Mengming next to King Tang.
