Zhang Tiemu had a bad idea in his heart.

King Jingnan, this shouldn't be a counterattack, right?

This is not impossible from Geng Jimao's character, after all, Hong Chengchou imprisoned him in the government, and Geng Jimao must think that Hong Chengchou is humiliating him.

In this case, Geng Jimao was finally released, and naturally he would retaliate fiercely.

It's only to blame Zhang Tiemu for being too naïve, thinking that Geng Jimao can release his past suspicions with Hong Chengchou.

Now it seems that he has done a big mistake!

But now it's too late to regret it, and Zhang Tiemu can only stand here like a stake and wait for the next development.

After a short time, I saw a group of Geng family troops rushing from the horse road.

The formation was like ten thousand horses crossing a river.

"Mom!"

Zhang Tiemu was really scared at this moment, and his body subconsciously took a step back.

Soon, these Geng family soldiers who rushed down the city gathered around Geng Jimao, and naturally surrounded the green battalion soldiers like Zhang Tiemu.

"Lord Wang, are these Qing soldiers disrespectful to you?"

All the soldiers of their own family said in unison.

Geng Jimao pressed down with both hands and said loudly: "These righteous men saved this king. They swore allegiance to their king. Isn't it? ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Zhang Tiemu said in his heart, we follow you, you think you want to join forces with Hong Jingluo to fight against Ming.

Who knew you were going to fight back.

But now, of course, this can no longer be said.

If you want to save your life, you can only follow Geng Jimao's words.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Tiemu hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Swear allegiance to the prince and follow the prince." ”

A group of green battalion soldiers woke up like a dream, and shouted one after another: "Swear to follow the prince to the death." ”

They are only a few hundred people, and if they dare to resist, they will be killed by Geng Jimao's own soldiers in an instant.

Since it has reached this point, it is better to go with the flow and simply follow Geng Jimao.

Geng Jimao is very satisfied with this result.

As a last resort, he doesn't want to be a great villain who will take revenge.

"Open the gates and rush out!"

Geng Jimao made a decision that surprised everyone.

Rush out?

It's the Ming army outside.

Is this going to be a defector?

Seeing this, Geng Jimao hurriedly explained: "This king is going to break through. This Nanchang City can't be defended. This king plans to return to Fujian! ”

Geng Jimao thought about it carefully, it would not be too good to take refuge in Yongli at this time, after all, Yongli had already begun to attack the city.

Some things are missed and cannot be easily recovered.

"Swear allegiance to the king!"

"Follow the prince to the end!"

The Geng family's own soldiers were basically cavalry, and they turned over on their horses after finding their mounts.

The green battalion soldiers finally grabbed the horses, and after opening the city gate together, they hurriedly mounted their horses and rushed out.

It's a bit frightening.

...

...

"Your Majesty, look!"

Zhao Xu, who was commanding the battle in Xicheng, was a little surprised when he saw the city gate open.

The Qing soldiers actually took the initiative to go out of the city to fight!

This is something he never expected.

Zhu Youlang didn't expect it.

"Array up to meet the enemy!"

No matter what, the battle is definitely going to be fought, and Zhu Youlang is not afraid of any opponent.

Since the Qing army was willing to attack, it saved a lot of strength from the Tiger Army, and there was no need to bother attacking the city.

"Yes!"

Zhao Xu clenched his hands into fists and said.

The Tiger Ben Army was dominated by infantry.

Under Zhao Xu's order, they quickly switched formations.

It has changed from an attacking formation to a relatively solid defensive formation.

"Kill!"

"For Your Majesty!"

"For Da Ming!"

The Tiger Ben Army shook the sky.

But little by little, they realized that something was wrong.

The other party didn't seem to intend to rush and kill, but just wanted to break through.

The formation of the Qing army is a typical conical formation, which means to break the gap!

Although he didn't know why the Qing army wanted to escape at this time, Zhao Xu still made adjustments as quickly as possible.

He tightened the flanks as much as he could, concentrating his forces in the center.

In this case, the impact of the enemy can be slowed down to the greatest extent.

But Xu decided to do it slowly.

At the moment when the enemy army rushed into formation, the formation of the Tiger Ben Army was obviously scattered a little.

It was this small opening that spread out that caused the Qing army to rush through the middle at a very fast speed.

It's a little hard to close it again.

Zhao Xu could only let the Tiger Ben army kill the Qing soldiers on both sides as much as possible. As for the Qing soldiers in the middle, there is really nothing they can do.

The enemy army was all cavalry, and at the beginning of the attack, they planned to break through and run away, and it was impossible to annihilate them all.

From time to time, Qing soldiers were picked off their horses and fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled sound.

Then they were ridden by their companions and trampled into pulp.

Some of the Qing soldiers on the periphery were even cut in two by people and horses, and their deaths were extremely terrifying.

Geng Jimao, who was guarded in the middle, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, leaned forward and almost lay on the horse's back.

Despite being wrapped in the inner and outer three layers by his own soldiers, he was still a little worried that a stray arrow would shoot out and hurt him.

Geng Jimao has no intention of fighting, and only wants to escape.

As long as he returns to Fujian, he will be Wu Sangui's second, and he will no longer respond to the orders of the Qing court if he is killed.

As for how many soldiers were killed or wounded in this breakout battle, he didn't care at all.

Besides, the outermost ones are also those green battalion soldiers of the Qing army, even if they are all dead, he is not distressed.

...

...

At the same time, Zhu Youlang discovered some details. These Qing soldiers are well-armoured, and all of them have horses and horses, and they are certainly not ordinary green battalion soldiers.

Although the other party did not raise the flag, Zhu Youlang had almost guessed his identity.

This army will not be anyone else except the Geng family army led by Geng Jimao!

It seems that the letter he ordered to be shot into the city had helped.

Hong Chengchou really had a dislike with Geng Jimao.

Zhu Youlang didn't know what the specific process was, but there was no doubt that Hong Chengchou and Geng Jimao had collapsed.

Therefore, only the gate of Xicheng was opened, and only Geng Jimao led his troops to break through.

If Zhu Youlang was not wrong, Hong Chengchou would probably still be kept in the dark at this moment, and he didn't know at all.

Geng Jimao's move can be described as a stab at Hong Chengchou.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang immediately ordered: "Stop chasing the cavalry, quickly attack the city!" ”

Because Geng Jimao's breakthrough was an emergency, it took a certain amount of time from Hong Chengchou's discovery that the city gate was opened to his urgent deployment of troops to close the city gate.

If Zhu Youlang can seize this vacancy, he may be able to break through the city directly.

At that time, the Ming army will have a response in the city, and it will be very easy to defeat Nanchang.

Zhao Xu naturally understood what the Son of Heaven meant, and immediately sent an order: "Your Majesty has an order, the whole army will attack Nanchang City!" ”

The Tiger Ben Army immediately changed its formation and headed towards the gate of the West City.

"Storm into the city and capture the flood thieves alive!"

"Kill the captives to serve the country, and recover the lost land!"

"For the sake of Daming, for Your Majesty!"
