"You've been a blip from the beginning, haven't you?"

Shen Zhiyuan was silent.

"It hasn't changed, even if you marry me?"

Shen Zhiyuan was still silent.

"You know that Amma told the king and me on his deathbed...... Choosing the right time to kill you, right? ”

Shen Zhiyuan was still silent.

"You never thought of me as your wife...... Even if it's just for a day, right? ”

This time, Shen Zhiyuan reacted, and he shook his head slowly.

A glint flashed in Dong Go's eyes, "When is it?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan looked at Dong Gu's eyes, sighed softly, pressed the brocade quilt for her, and then shook his head again.

Dong Gu laughed miserably: "You are actually the same person as Amma, and they both regard me as a pawn and tool for you to manipulate...... Shen Zhiyuan, you can't die well! ”

Shen Zhiyuan took a long breath and said gloomily: "Take care of your body first...... You don't have to think so much, don't worry, when you return to Hangzhou Mansion, no one will dare to embarrass you ....... ”

"Kill me."

Shen Zhiyuan was stunned, thinking that he had misheard.

"If I don't die, I will think about how to kill you all the time in the days to come...... Kill me! Dongor screamed.

Shen Zhiyuan slowly exited the carriage amid the shouting and scolding of Dongor, and after confirming to the doctors and nurses that Dongguo's life was safe, Shen Zhiyuan prepared to give the order to return to the city.

At this time, the messengers sent by Bahana came at a hurry.

Shen Zhiyuan looked at the already bright sky, and let out an oozing roar like a cry.

……。

The city of Ziyang was breached.

It only took three days.

This was not what anyone expected.

Even if it is Chen Sheng and Wu Zheng, together with Shen Zhiyuan and Bahana, this is a siege battle with less to win more.

The attacker's strength was less than 30,000, and even if the defender cut away Baha and Shen Zhiyuan, the defenders in the city would have no less than 40,000 people.

According to Chen Sheng's words, he was not mentally prepared to capture the South Gate that day.

But the city was breached, and that is beyond doubt.

Bahana died, and he died in battle.

When he learned that Shen Zhiyuan led his troops to come, Bahana was overjoyed.

But as soon as the new army arrived, they fired a volley of muskets at the Bahana Division, and the Bahana Division could not have imagined that the New Army would shoot them in the back without saying a word.

For a moment, the Grim Reaper swung its scythe without mercy.

There are enemies in the south who break through the city, and "friendly troops" in the north who stab them in the back, and everyone knows that the only way to save their lives is to surrender.

After squirting a mouthful of blood, Bahana led his personal guards cavalry to turn around and launched a frontal desperate assault on Shen Zhiyuan's position.

This was no longer a normal battle, and Bahana gave up his command of the army and launched this fight, not to break through, but only to take revenge and vent his anger.

Shen Zhiyuan arranged a horizontal array of musketeers on the upper and lower floors, frantically harvesting human lives, and the dense projectiles weaved a net of death, and the stray bullets even injured the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who had just broken through the city and were ready to cooperate with Shen Zhiyuan to encircle and suppress the remnants of the enemy.

Bahana's personal guards, full of 3,000 people, fell in rows on the way to the charge, but not a single one of them surrendered or fled.

Together with Bahana himself, he was still pointing at Shen Zhiyuan and scolding at the moment he was shot, but when he fell with all his strength, he was still two miles away from Shen Zhiyuan's location.

There was a long silence in the mile-long streets when Bahana and the last of his guards fell.

Whether it was the New Army or the Northern Expeditionary Army, they all silently looked at the corpses of people and horses on the streets.

Warriors can be respected, regardless of position.

……。

After Chen Sheng and Shen Zhiyuan rendezvous, they quickly divided their troops.

Chen Sheng led his troops to the east gate to sweep away the remnants of the enemy army, and Shen Zhiyuan led his troops to attack the original palace of Dolbo in the center of the city.

By the afternoon of the same day, the entire city of Ziyang fell under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

When Chen Sheng went to the palace to discuss the follow-up matters with Shen Zhiyuan, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

There was a river of blood in front of the palace.

Shen Zhiyuan almost wiped out the Manchu and Han civil and military forces in Dolbo's forces.

At least six or seven hundred heads were piled up in front of the palace, becoming a "landscape".

And the killing continues, and what is killed at this time is the surrender of troops in the city, which is a large number.

Chen Sheng, who was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward to stop Shen Zhiyuan's unscrupulousness.

Fortunately, Shen Zhiyuan had already vented the evil fire at this time, and he did not oppose Chen Sheng's dissuasion, ending this crazy massacre.

At this point, the battle of Ziyang is officially over,

The casualties of the enemy and us were already disproportionate, Chen Sheng's troops suffered only more than 800 casualties, while Shen Zhiyuan's casualties were larger, with 2 or 3,000 people, which were basically lost in the encounter between attacking the east gate and the north gate and intercepting Qi Chongge.

But the results of the battle were so great that they exceeded expectations, in Ziyang City, as many as 30,000 prisoners were surrendered, and such a number of prisoners directly delayed Chen Sheng's idea of continuing to advance north, especially after seeing Shen Zhiyuan's bloody scene.

So Chen Sheng sent someone to report to the south urgently, waiting for Wu Zheng's next instructions.

……。

The south of the Culai Mountain, the Xiaowen River.

It was originally a small tributary of the Wen River, which was widened in the Yongle period in order to divert Wen Jiyun.

The three times of manual excavation before and after made the width and depth of the Xiaowen River relatively regular, forming an artificial river of more than 100 miles to the east and west.

Song An chose the battlefield on the south bank of the Xiaowen River for only one reason.

That is, Qian Qiaogong's cavalry has not yet arrived, and Song An can only rely on the 3,000 troops in his hand to prevent the 10,000 cavalry from going south, which is almost impossible, even if the 3,000 people are a sharp battalion equipped with repeating guns.

Only by relying on the geographical advantages of Xiaowen River and fighting an ambush war can it be possible.

After receiving a secret report from Changlin Weimi, Song An chose the section of the Xiaowen River in the south direction of Culai Mountain to deploy an ambush.

As the construction of simple fortifications was about to be completed, the scouts reported that the enemy's forward cavalry had approached the ambush position.

A fierce battle is about to begin.

……。

So, where are the cavalry of Qian Qiaogong's army, which should have joined Song An at this time?

Before receiving Wu Zheng's order, Qian Qiaogong was cooperating with the Lu Zhiyu Department to the west and planning against the advancing Shen Zhiyuan.

But because Lu Zhiyu and Qian Qiaogong have the responsibility of guarding Anton Wei, the westward advance of Lu Zhiyu is only one of Wu Songwei, with 5,000 people.

Lu Zhiyu and Qian Qiaogong's two departments left Anton Wei, and the time was about a day and a half later than Shen Zhiyuan's departure.

Therefore, at the time of the Ziyang War, the second department was still near Fei County.

At this time, when Wu Zheng's order arrived, Lu Zhiyu and Qian Qiaogong were in a dilemma.

If Qian Qiaogong was ordered to lead the cavalry north, then it would be very difficult for the Yilu domain to achieve the goal of responding and reinforcing Shen Zhiyuan's new army.

After all, at this time, the enemy troops in Yanzhou were all gathered around Ziyang, not to mention the distance, but once they encountered the Qing army of Bahana in the field, it would be very dangerous.

If something happens, not only will it not be possible to save Shen Zhiyuan, but Wu Songwei himself will be in danger.
