Chapter 271: Jiangning Town Ambush

Seeing that Liu Guoyu had misunderstood him, the general banner boldly defended: "My lord, what I'm talking about is not the Eight Banners, it's something else. My lord, why do you look like there are people in the woods over there? In such a large forest, there is not a single bird call, and in the woods in other places, the bird calls have not stopped during the day. And the whole town was horribly quiet, which was certainly not normal. ”

Liu Guoyu scolded: "Let your mother's fart, you just grabbed things in the town, and the Eight Banners are still killing people in the town." and the living are also hidden in their homes, and now where do they dare to come out and speak. Do you have shit in your head? When you kill people, no one will run into the woods, but if someone goes in, can there be birds in the woods? ”

The soldier just now suddenly didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly retreated. Liu Guoyu still pointed and scolded: "What are you, you want to think about these things?" Do your own thing, go to the battlefield, if your team dares to run back, see if I don't kill you. ”

While scolding this general flag, Liu Guoyu asked the Qing soldiers to assemble the army as soon as possible, if they waited any longer, they would not be able to catch up with Dangtu at night. Liu Guoyu looked back at the Eight Banners soldiers, and there were quite a few Eight Banners soldiers, who were looking around for rooms to sleep in. Very pair of soldiers of the Eight Banners, running into the homes of the people with women, from time to time there were screams and women's cries.

Liu Guoyu scolded: "Fuck, the old men are busy rushing to prepare food for them, they are fine." Here in broad daylight, enjoy these, phew! God is so fucking unfair, Lao Tzu is going to find a few girls in Dangtu County tonight to have a good time. ”

Liu Guoyu suddenly felt angry in his heart, and said: "Dog's day tartar, you just care about being happy." Let me be your slaves, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it for a few days. Why didn't God rain down the thunder on a dry day and kill you brutes? Liu Guoyu scolded the Eight Banners again, completely forgetting that he went out, and did the same.

Just when Liu Guoyu was gathering his troops, in the woods outside the town, there were really a large number of troops approaching. The people, who had already taken refuge in the woods, were looking at their surroundings in horror at this time. I don't know why, all of a sudden, there are so many branches. When I looked at it, I noticed that there were human faces growing under these branches.

Just as the people were about to cry out, the people under the branches of the trees hurriedly stretched out their hands and blocked the mouths of the people. Then he whispered: "Don't shout, we are the army of the Ming Dynasty, we are just passing by here." "It's okay not to speak, but as soon as you speak now, many people are immediately frightened and fainted.

Seeing these people fainting, the Ming army, who had just spoken, said to the people behind: "General Liu, what should I do?" These people have fainted, and we can't ask for any news now. Liu Zhen, who had this branch on his head, said: "Don't care, have our people bypassed?" ”

The previous man said: "Qi Baoping, he took people around, but I don't know if he has reached the location?" Seeing that the Qing army in the town was already preparing to leave. Now Your Highness and they are on the way to Jiangning Town, and they can see Jiangning Town by bypassing this mountain. If you let these people out, it is estimated that you will soon find Your Highness and them. ”

Liu Zhen said: "No, we can't wait any longer, if they find His Highness in advance." It will definitely not be easy to surround them, and then just let one person escape. Nanjing will find that a large army is coming, and it will take a lot of effort for us to take Nanjing. ”

The man in front of him: "General, you just say what we should do." Just ask, and we'll do it. Liu Zhen said: "Tan Zetian, you lead people to approach the monk's head, if Qi Baoping and they don't bypass, you will block the monk's head, and don't let the Qing army escape back to Nanjing." If you meet Qi Baoping, let them go to the edge of the Yangtze River. ”

Tan Zetian said: "Okay, I'll take someone over." Liu Zhen said again: "I'll take people directly over here and drag them down." If you can destroy them, you can destroy them directly, and if you can't, you will drive them to His Highness. When His Highness finds out about us, he will definitely send troops over. Then we surround them again and annihilate them together. ”

Then Liu Zhen said to a person beside him: "You immediately go and warn His Highness and let them prepare for contingencies." Originally, Liu Zhen wanted to make some arrangements, but at this time, the Qing army had already begun to assemble and line up. Liu Zhen knew that this was the Qing army that was going to set off immediately, and found that Tan Zetian had just left with people and had not yet arrived at the intended place.

In desperation, Liu Zhen immediately said: "Everyone pay attention, all bend down and approach Jiangning Town, once they are discovered by the Qing army, immediately charge with all their strength, and do not give the Qing army any time to prepare." With that, he walked out of the woods first.

The Qing soldiers who were assembling here, under the command of Liu Guoyu, had just lined up. I heard a rustling sound, and many people thought they had heard it wrong. Liu Guoyu looked at the woods next to him and said, "It's not blowing either, why are the leaves still rustling." ”

A hundred households next to him said: "Is it that some people in the town, now seeing the Eight Banners in the town, have fled to the woods, causing the leaves to tremble." My lord, leave these things alone, and take the army away quickly, we won't be able to get there later. ”

Liu Guoyu sighed and said, "Yes, let's hurry up now, everyone hurry up, and we can rest when we get to Dangtu." After speaking, he found that all the soldiers turned to look outside the town, and everyone was stunned, and no one moved.

Liu Guoyu roared: "What are you doing? Hurry up, if you die, you can't catch up with Dangtu. When the time comes, it will be difficult to say that the Eight Banners will find us trouble. Liu Guoyu was still yelling at people, and Liu Guoyu's general banner shouted early before: "My lord, it's not good, the trees outside the town have become fine, and they all ran to the town." ”

Hearing this, Liu Guoyu still remembered that it was this person just now, and came to himself to say that there was someone in the woods, and suddenly shouted: "Ma Kaicheng, don't think that your father is the governor of Songjiang, I won't dare to treat you." If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will directly deal with you with military law. ”

Ma Kaicheng also lost his temper and said: "General Liu, don't think that you are a big official, so I really don't dare to say it." Look outside for yourself, the branches have already run out of town, and you actually turn a blind eye. Liu Guoyu saw that Ma Kaicheng dared to openly contradict himself, and suddenly couldn't help it, and directly stepped forward and pulled Ma Kaicheng out.

Then he pointed out of the town and said, "Come on, come on, you can show me how the branches are now..." Just when Liu Guoyu wanted to say, "I will run out of town". I really saw that the place that was empty just now was now overgrown with branches, but these branches were not high, and it seemed a little awkward.

And Liu Zhen, who was leading the soldiers outside the town, bent down and approached Jiangning Town. At this time, a Qing army general pulled his men and shouted outside the town, and found himself. Suddenly yelled: "Kill, Da Ming." Suddenly, the Fuming army behind Liu Zhen suddenly stood up one after another, and directly shouted the slogan of "Daming", and rushed directly into Jiangning Town.

Liu Guoyu, who was still angry at Ma Kaicheng just now, suddenly reacted and shouted: "Mom, the Ming army has sneak attacked." After saying that, he didn't organize a large army to block it, and he turned around and ran directly into the town. As soon as the other Qing soldiers saw that the main general had run away, they immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, and then turned around and dispersed in a hurry.

Looking at the dispersed Qing army, Liu Zhen and the others did not stop at all, and directly led the army to kill them. A slow-running Qing soldier was chased by Liu Zhen and cut off his head from behind. And the other soldiers of the Restoration Army also rushed in one after another, hacking to death those Qing soldiers who had no time to run.

Originally, watching the Qing army burning, killing and looting in the town, all the soldiers of the Restoration Army held their breath, but now that they saw blood again, they all roared angrily to chase and kill the Qing army. For a time, the Qing soldiers were chased and fled for their lives, but they did not rest after marching in the morning, and came to Jiangning Town to serve as slaves for the Eight Banners.

Now that I have just eaten, it is the time when people want to rest, and they can run away from the pursuit of the Ming army. Suddenly, on the road in the middle of the town, countless corpses of Qing soldiers lay down.

At this time, Wu Xiaoli, who was resting in the town, heard the shouts of the green battalion soldiers, and immediately thought that because these green battalions were forced to hurry, the soldiers were unwilling and were being punished by Liu Guoyu. Immediately said to the pro-soldier next to him: "Go out and see what's going on, tell Liu Guoyu that if you want to punish the soldiers, go farther." Don't disturb the rest of the Eight Banners, otherwise I want him to look good. ”

Wu Xiaoli's guards immediately walked out with a smile, but they just came out of the courtyard. It's like being stung by something, and I immediately jumped and ran back. He also shouted: "General, get up quickly, the enemy is attacking, and the Ming army is coming." ”

When Wu Xiaoli heard this, he immediately jumped up. shouted from the mouth: "How many people have the Ming army come, and now they are there?" Quickly blow the trumpet and assemble, let the soldiers come out and assemble, inform Liu Guoyu, let him resist, and must not let the Ming army attack the town. Otherwise, our cavalry will have no speed advantage, and the entire combat power will drop a lot. ”

Wu Xiaoli was saying in his mouth, but he didn't delay at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he had simply put on his armor. The pro-soldier next to him was tying him a belt. And the other Eight Banners soldiers in the house also took up their weapons one after another, ready to go out to meet the enemy at any time.

The pro-soldier who was at the gate just now said: "It's too late, now the Ming army has entered the town." When Wu Xiaoli heard this, he was immediately shocked: "What? What about Liu Guoyu? How could their strength be 2,000 men, even the pigs would not have been killed so quickly. ”

The guard said, "Not killed, but defeated." I just saw that the whole town was full of Liu Guoyu's soldiers fleeing, and they couldn't stop the Ming army at all. Wu Xiaoli suddenly scolded: "Liu Guoyu, you are a waste, you will be thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish by yourself." ”

Wu Xiaoli scolded twice and said, "It's too late now, everyone goes to lead the horses, and then let everyone else leave Jiangning Town with their horses and assemble the formation outside the town." When we returned to the formation, we were coming back. ”

When the guard heard this, he immediately took off a horn from his waist and blew it with a "whin". The sound of the horn was also very rhythmic, and the others didn't care, and they immediately went out to find their war horses. Then we have to go out of town.

But at this time, there is still a place for them to move. When encountering a crisis, people always want to go to the place they think is safe, and now these Eight Banners soldiers think that it is Nanjing. Some people who had already found the war horses heard the horn of Wu Xiaoli's Qing soldiers, and immediately broke through in the direction of Nanjing, wanting to leave Jiangning Town.

Because Liu Zhen's army still had to chase and kill Liu Guoyu's troops in the town, suddenly about 100 Eight Banners soldiers left Jiangning Town on horseback and went to Nanjing. I just happened to run into Tan Zetianbu, who was attacking.

I thought I had highlighted the town and that I was safe. As soon as he got out of the town, he encountered a more correct Ming army, and saw that there was an army on the side of the Yangtze River that was surrounding. Before the 108 bannermen had time to stop, they had no choice but to charge at the military formation of the Restoration Army.
