"Hey, that's not right." Hearing Jin Weifan's words, Gao Qian and his personal soldiers immediately felt strange. The two of them looked at each other, and they both felt strange in their hearts. These Eight Banner Generals, how did the leaders start to speak softly to themselves.

Jin Weifan also suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his tone, and immediately added: "Of course, General Gao attacked the Ming army, which is also the general's duty. If the general dares to fear the enemy and avoid war, I think the imperial court will not sit idly by. Don't talk about the imperial court, even the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangsu, it's not easy to say. ”

When Gao Qian heard this, he was even more puzzled in his heart, Jin Weifan actually used the imperial court, the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangsu to pressure him. If in the past, with Jin Weifan's identity as a bannerman, it is estimated that it would be light to scold him directly. Maybe it's already been said that Gao Qian was dragged out to play the board.

But in today's situation, I want to use some other relationships to pressure myself. Shi Shanhua and Jin Weifan here, seeing that Gao Qian had been unwilling to give an order, they no longer persuaded him. He didn't even say anything cruel, and offered to leave immediately. Looking at Shi Shanhua and Jin Weifan, who were leaving, Gao Qian's personal soldiers walked over.

Next to Gao Qian, he said: "General, they seem to be afraid of something, the situation is not right." Shall we let the army withdraw first, and inquire about the situation of the Ming army on the other side? Gao Qian couldn't figure it out either, and said, "Of course I know that Shi Shanhua and Jin Weifan are not right today, but we don't know what they are afraid of now." If the army is withdrawn without authorization, I am afraid that it will really be true. ”

As soon as Gao Qian finished speaking, he heard a constant cry of horror coming from the river. The pro-soldier next to him said: "General, I know what they are afraid of. "Ahh What did you say? You know, what are they afraid of? Gao Qian asked his own soldiers puzzled.

Then, before Gao Qian could react, he was pulled by his own soldiers to find the mount, and then ran desperately in the direction of Changzhou. As he ran, he said: "General, they are afraid of the Ming army on the other side, they are too powerful." Our army simply cannot withstand their attacks. Hurry up, the Ming army on the opposite side has already attacked. ”

Hearing the words of his own soldiers, Gao Qian turned his head to look at the canal. I saw a large number of Ming troops on the other side of the canal, and they were densely attacking the Qing troops who crossed the river. There are also many cavalry of the Ming army, who are rushing to cross the canal from the upper reaches of the canal.

When Gao Qian saw this scene, he knew that the Ming army was coming. I also understand what Shi Shanhua and Jin Weifan are afraid of, because the number of the Ming army is estimated to be tens of thousands. Gao Qian didn't go far when he saw the Qing army crossing the canal. Under the attack of the Ming army, there was not the slightest resistance at all. was defeated by the Ming army, and then was chased and killed by the Ming army.

With just one charge, the Qing army on the other side of the river was defeated by the Ming army, and the Qing soldiers who fled for their lives were like ducks, driven everywhere by the Ming army. Groups of Qing soldiers were driven off the canal by the Ming army and were desperately swimming towards the canal. Seeing this, Gao Qian suddenly lost his soul and shouted, "Is this the Ming army?" How do I think this is the Manchurian soldiers coming. ”

And the Qing soldiers, who were pulling Gao Qian to flee for their lives, shouted: "General, it doesn't matter what kind of soldier he is, we have to leave quickly." The Ming army has crossed the river, and there are cavalry upstream, and we won't be able to go if we don't go. Gao Qian was stunned and said, "Where are we going now?" If I go back to Changzhou, there will definitely be no good fruits to eat, and Shi Shanhua and Jin Weifan will not let me go. ”

The soldier said: "What about the general?" Gao Qian turned his head at high speed, and then clapped his hands and said, "We won't go back to Changzhou, let's go to Jiangyin." If the situation is not right, we will immediately cross the river to Jiangbei. As long as we went to Jiangbei, no one knew about our situation. Regarding the war in Jiangnan and other places, we can say whatever we want. ”

The soldier's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Gao Qian with admiration: "General's clever plan, as long as Shi Huashan and the others die in Jiangnan, then no one will know about us." When the time comes, we will still be able to earn some credit. By the way, General, let's go to Jiangyin, do you want to find some silver in Jiangyin. After all, when I went to Jiangbei, I had to do something at that time. ”

Gao Qian was also very happy and said: "Of course, the credit is a small thing. But you must find enough silver, and in this world, you are busy with people who only recognize silver. Now that Shi Shanhua and others have gone to Changzhou, if they want to return to Jiangbei, they will definitely go to Jiangyin. We will go to Jiangyin first and wait for them, and when the time comes, as soon as they arrive in Jiangyin, we will secretly catch them. Then he quietly killed them, so that the gods did not know it. ”

Gao Qian immediately said: "Quick, immediately take the people who can keep up, and we will go to Jiangyin." With that, he hurried to Jiangyin with the army that had not yet crossed the canal, about a thousand people.

Gao Qian thought that his strategy was very high, but who knew that the Ming army would not cooperate. On the contrary, there were about 3,000 Ming troops, and when they saw Gao Qian leading the army to Jiangyin, they followed Gao Qian's army to death. No matter how Gao Qian urged the army, he couldn't get rid of the Ming army behind. This Ming army that followed Gao Qian, just like Yang Mingyu chased and killed Shi Shanhua at the beginning, followed Gao Qian's army and chased it to Jiangyin.

The Restoration Army, which is now chasing to the canal, is certainly not the 3,000 cavalry during the day. Basically, here are all the armies of Yang Mingyu and Ma Bao. The army stationed in Zhenjiang converged with Ma Weixing's army who arrived in Nanjing. Seeing that Zhenjiang had been captured, Ma Weixing immediately issued Zhu Youdong's military order.

He himself led the army, together with Lin Xingzhu's army, to attack the Qing army's Caojiang Water Division. Then he waited for an opportunity to attack Yangzhou and wanted to launch an attack in Jiangbei. The army that remained in Zhenjiang set out with the whole army to prepare to attack Changzhou, Suzhou and other places. The military land that was originally stationed in Zhenjiang has always been in response to Ma Bao and Yang Mingyu.

After all, the commanders of the two armies have left, and now with Zhu Youdong's order, they are not only here to answer Ma Bao and Yang Mingyu. Now it's time to take Zhu Youdong's order, let the two continue to attack Changzhou, Suzhou and other places. So the Fuming Army that stayed in Zhenjiang immediately came to Changzhou under the leadership of several general soldiers.

After the army crossed the canal, Chen Erxi received an order. Let him take 3,000 people to pursue Gao Qian, who fled to Jiangyin. It also prepared to attack Jiangyin City and recover Jiangyin and Jingjiang in the north of Changzhou. So Gao Qian's own calculations are good, but unfortunately the Ming army also has his own calculations.

Chen Erxi led the army to Jiangyin, and the other troops were taken by Ma Bao and Yang Mingyu to attack Changzhou. However, this time the army is marching on land, and it is up to Ma Bao and Yang Mingyu to decide how they want to go. At the beginning, he used the water division to attack Zhenjiang, but he was accidentally discovered by the Qing army.

And the two of them on the sailor's boat had no way at all, and now it was different. They want to lead a large army now to reach Changzhou quickly and achieve the effect of a surprise attack. After the two discussed it, they immediately gathered all the horses in their hands. Then the soldiers who were good at riding horses were put together to form a temporary cavalry, about 5,000 people.

Let these 5,000 cavalry be used as a surprise force, just chase Shi Shanhua in front of you, you must bite them and attack Changzhou. And Ma Bao was originally a general who was good at cavalry, but he only came to the Restoration Army. has always been used by Zhu Youdong as a general of the infantry army, and he has no record of taking a shot for a while.

This time, with the opportunity to command the cavalry, Ma Bao certainly refused to let go. Immediately, Ma Bao didn't give Yang Mingyu a chance, and directly led the troops to set off first. I saw Ma Bao taking the lead and going straight to Changzhou. The other soldiers of the Restoration Army also followed on horseback, and the sound of cavalry galloping could be heard in the distance.

And Shi Shanhua and the others who fled in front saw it, and the frightened three souls lost two, and the seven spirits flew six. Suddenly, he no longer cared about anything, just whipped the horse under his crotch desperately. I only hated that the horse was running too slowly, and I wished I wanted to put two wings on him.

In just two hours, Shi Shanhua saw Changzhou City from a distance, and Shi Shanhua shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Let me into town. The two hundred and eight-banner soldiers who followed Shi Shanhua also roared angrily, saying, "Get out, get out of here." Let the Eight Banners go to the city first. ”

And the people and defenders in Changzhou City, when they saw such a crazy scene, they were all stunned. Looking at the scene in front of him, no one could move for half a minute. This scene is too familiar, and the Qing army attacked the city like this back then, with a large number of cavalry rushing towards the city. The movement of the horses made the earth tremble.

Now the people and the defenders of the city are trembling. All of them were pale, without a trace of blood. Everyone asked in their hearts: "Is this the old man of the Eight Banners coming to slaughter the city again?" I haven't heard anything about Changzhou lately. Although everyone had doubts, no one dared to move without permission. I was afraid that if I moved, the cavalry who ran over would take me as a target.

Some people standing in the middle of the road knew that Shi Shanhua and the others ran over and knocked them out. Only then did he remember that he was standing in the middle of the road, and he immediately screamed and ran in both directions. Suddenly, Shi Shanhua and others, who fled in front, crashed into a lot of civilians and defenders.

Waiting for Shi Shanhua and the others, as soon as they ran into Changzhou City, they shouted: "Quick, close the city gate, the Ming army is coming." As soon as he finished roaring, there were Eight Banners soldiers next to Shi Shanhua who were going to close the door. But at this time, Ma Bao and the Restoration Army were already fifty steps closer to the city gate.

I saw that in front of the cavalry of the Restoration Army, Ma Bao was riding a horse, and he was already bending his bow and arrows. Immediately an arrow was fired at the city gate, and the others also shot arrows. The Eight Banners who wanted to go to close the city gate for a while were shot five or six over. And the Restoration Army also took advantage of this opportunity to rush into the city.

Ma Bao suddenly shouted: "Wang Jinbao, you take people up from the city wall, and the others will go directly into the city with me." A young general next to him shouted: "Don't worry, general, I will immediately take people up to the city wall, and I will never let the army behind be blocked." ”

Then he turned to some of the Restoration Army beside him and said, "Follow me if you have the courage." With that, he turned over and dismounted, and then attacked the wall. And some of the Restoration Army behind him also dismounted one after another and rushed towards the city wall. I saw Wang Jinbao with a big knife, dancing through the wind and rain, and cutting down two Qing soldiers with one face. The Restoration Army behind was also like a tiger out of the cage, rushing straight to the city wall.

Here, Ma Bao saw that Wang Jinbao was going to capture the city wall, so he didn't get off his horse directly, waved his hand at the people behind him, and shouted: "The others follow me and kill into the city." Kill, the Ming King has entered the city. The Fuming army behind also shouted, "Kill the Qing soldiers, the Ming King has come in." ”

And Shi Shanhua and the others, seeing that the Restoration Army came directly into the city without much effort. Where do you dare to stop it, immediately turn around and run towards the city. But because the people in Changzhou didn't know at all, the Ming army was already approaching. As Shi Shanhua and others rampaged in the city, many people were knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, the Fuming army behind them were all filled with righteous indignation, and they rushed over to chase and kill Shi Shanhua and others with a roar. Seeing that the people on the street were blocking the way, the Restoration Army behind was chasing closer and closer. Shi Shanhua and the others were so frenzied that they directly raised their knives and frantically slashed and killed the people who were blocking the way.
