Geng Jimao carefully glanced at the crowd and found that these people were very sincere, and they didn't mean to joke at all, so he was relieved.

Sometimes people's attitudes change in an instant, and it can only be said that the words of Geng Jimao and Zhang Tiemu played a role, and Zhang Tiemu successfully persuaded his companions.

If it had been a few hours ago, they naturally had no motive to do it, but now that Hong Chengchou led the main force to fight against the Ming army, it became an excellent opportunity for these Qing soldiers to make bets.

"You have no problem following this king, but can you release this king's henchmen first?"

Geng Jimao suppressed the excitement in his heart and said very calmly.

At this moment, he still did not forget the dozen or so relatives.

These people are Geng Jimao's henchmen, and without them by his side, Geng Jimao doesn't even know how to give orders.

What's more, Geng Jimao also needs manpower to strengthen his momentum, so that the Geng family army in the city can quickly let the Geng family army in the city know that they have been freed, and they can quickly gather around Geng Jimao.

Geng Jimao has made up his mind at this moment, no matter what, he will do a big deal.

Only in this way can he get the maximum benefit between the Ming army and the Qing army.

"It's nature, it's nature. If the prince didn't say it, we would almost forget about it. ”

Zhang Tiemu scratched his head and said very embarrassedly: "Let's go and release the prince's henchmen with us." ”

These people first untied Geng Jimao, and then quickly went to the firewood room where Geng Jimao was imprisoned.

The treatment of these relatives is far inferior to Geng Jimao, not only are more than a dozen people crammed into a demolished room, but there is no one to give them food and drink.

All day had passed, their stomachs were growling with hunger, and their eyes were full of Venus.

When they saw the soldiers rushing in, their reaction was just as shocked.

But in addition to being shocked, they were also terrified.

After all, their status is not as good as that of Geng Jimao.

Hong Chengchou didn't dare to do anything to Geng Jimao, but he didn't dare to kill them.

Maybe Hong Chengchou wants to kill them and show them to the prince?

Instinctively, their bodies shrank back, but they moved very slowly because they were tied.

"Don't be afraid, we're here to let you out."

Zhang Tiemu shouted at the top of his voice: "We have decided to follow King Jingnan, please go out with us." ”

These henchmen of the Geng family were suspicious, staring at Zhang Tiemu one by one but not moving.

Zhang Tiemu said hurriedly: "Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

After saying that, he beckoned his companions to come forward and untie the Geng family's henchmen.

A group of Qing soldiers rushed forward to loosen the ties for the Geng family's henchmen, and it was only then that these Geng family henchmen were willing to believe that the Qing soldiers really turned back.

"Quick, get me some food and water."

"Yes, I'm dying of thirst."

"Lao Tzu is hungry and can eat a cow."

"Ah, I'll go."

Zhang Tiemu patted his head and said in his heart, why didn't he think of this.

These henchmen of the Geng family have been trapped in the firewood room for so long, and they were finally released, so they naturally wanted to replenish their strength.

Otherwise, how could they follow King Jingnan to the top of the city and kill the Ming thief?

He hurriedly fetched pasted cakes and white water with his companions and handed them to these Geng family henchmen.

The soldiers of the Geng family were starved like jackals that had not hunted for a few days, and they gobbled up the cakes after grabbing them.

It's just that the cake is cold and very hard.

They only found it difficult to swallow, and many even choked.

"Drink some water and take a shower."

Zhang Tiemu said on the side very timely, he was more attentive than his own mother who served him.

It stands to reason that people who have been hungry for a long time should not eat too much at once, otherwise they will easily burst their stomachs.

But Zhang Tiemu and other Qing soldiers didn't know this. Fortunately, the cold cakes that Zhang Tiemu gave them were very difficult to swallow, and these Geng family guards stopped eating a few pieces.

"What about the prince, take us to see the prince!"

They regained some strength, and then realized that they had to hurry around Geng Jimao now.

"I'll take you there."

Zhang Tiemu nodded and said loudly.

...

...

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!"

"Lord Wang, you have suffered!"

When the Geng family guards saw Shang Kexi, they burst into tears with excitement.

"Lord Wang, we thought we would never see you again."

"Lord Wang, you don't look very good. Are these dog minions not treating you well? ”

Geng Jimao pressed down with both hands, signaling everyone not to get excited.

"Do not be excited, for these righteous men have treated this king well. If it weren't for their rescue, this king would still be trapped in the house at this moment, and you wouldn't have been able to get out of the firewood room, would you? ”

As soon as these Geng family guards thought about it, they stopped squeaking.

"There are too few people around me who can call on this king now. The immediate task now is to gather the manpower as soon as possible. ”

Geng Jimao glanced around and continued: "Where is my Geng family army stationed at the city gate now?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, at the west gate."

"Oh?"

Geng Jimao raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone, follow this king to the west gate." ”

Zhang Tiemu secretly admired in his heart, worthy of being the king of Jingnan, with such a clear mind.

In such a short period of time, you can make a quick decision, and since you want to kill the thief, you naturally have to gather henchmen.

King Jingnan's move can be described as wise.

"Swear allegiance to the prince and follow the prince to the end!"

A group of Qing soldiers surrounded Geng Jimao and the Geng family's personal guards out of the mansion and killed them towards the west gate of Nanchang City.

...

...

The bleakness and desertion during the war are in stark contrast to the bustling Nanchang City in the past.

Geng Jimao led a group of miscellaneous soldiers through the city, and there were almost no pedestrians in sight on the streets.

They closed their doors from house to house along the street, for fear that the killer would enter and harm their families.

Geng Jimao was not too touched by this.

He must hurry to the west gate and regain control of the army.

Only then will he have a chance to continue with his next plans.

"Hurry up a little faster!"

There was only one horse left in the palace, so Geng Jimao rode a horse and galloped, and a group of soldiers followed behind.

Although Geng Jimao was anxious, he had to stop several times to wait for the soldiers.

Otherwise, even if he rushed to Simon alone, it would be of no avail.

Just stopped and stopped several times, and finally when he passed through the gate of Huihefang, Geng Jimao saw the gate of Xicheng.

Whew, it's not easy!

Geng Jimao tightened the reins of his horse and waited for the soldiers to follow, and when his relatives and followers had already arrived, he said loudly: "Come on, go and explain the situation with the king's token, and order the Geng family army at the head of the city to go down the city immediately!" ”

As soon as this order came out, all the Qing soldiers were stupid.

Geng Jiajun immediately went to the city? That's why it's like that.

Now that the battle is raging, shouldn't the king of Jingnan lead them to the top of the city, say a few words to boost morale, and then take over the army?
