Chapter Eighty-Four: Rushing to the Crossing

With the orders of Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi, the propaganda machine of the entire Yue Ming Army was mobilized.

And this time there is not even Li Xiangjun's own pen, the Battle of Suzhou is the most typical example, naturally there are captured Qing soldiers and literati who wrote about the situation at that time as a poster to spread and spread around, and 100,000 Qing troops knew for the first time what the so-called Li Shutai Suzhou breakthrough was all about.

In order to successfully break through, Li Shutai sacrificed hundreds of officers and soldiers sent to Suzhou by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, not to mention the green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army, so after the news came out, the Qing army camp was naturally uncertain, and even the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domain were worried that the Eight Banners would let them be used as cannon fodder, and even some of the Eight Banners of the Han Army suspected that the Eight Banners of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners would sacrifice themselves.

Among the so-called 100,000 Qing troops, the number of green battalion soldiers and new attached troops is the largest, and now I heard that the Eight Banners soldiers were going to withdraw and let them stay as cannon fodder, which naturally blew up the pot, although Duoduo and Hauge repeatedly reiterated that there was no such thing, but there were still many officers who decided to forcibly cross the river with their own soldiers and horses, even if Duoduo and Hauge personally came forward to stop it, they couldn't control the situation.

Now the Qing army from all walks of life is desperately looking for all large and small ships, and Duoduo and Haoge repeatedly reiterated that the whole army must not cross the river without authorization, and the result is that new rumors have emerged, that is, many people say that Duoduo and Haoge will indeed treat everyone equally this time, and then they will let the Eight Banners Army break off and cover the retreat of the Han army.

As soon as this news came out, the soldiers of the Eight Banners, whether they were full of Eight Banners, Meng, or Han Eight Banners, were blown up, they were the pride of the sky, when would they sacrifice the Eight Banners to complete these most unreliable new annexes.

Of course, the rumors also continued to deform in the spread, and soon some people said that it was not the Eight Banners that were responsible for covering the retreat of the Green Battalion and the new annexed army, but the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domain and the king of Sanshun who they had always been ready to sacrifice, and took Li Shuitai's Suzhou breakthrough as a typical example, and some people directly said that this idea was given to Duoduo by Li Shuitai.

Of course, the rapid spread of these news is naturally indispensable to Li Xiangjun and Liu Ruye, but now Duoduo, Haoge, and Hong Chengchou don't know how to appease the Qing army from all walks of life, after all, a bowl of water cannot really be leveled.

Although sacrificing most of the green battalion soldiers, covering the Eight Banner Army, and crossing the river with the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domain and the Sanshun army are the basic principles that have been agreed in advance, this is only an unspoken rule that cannot be made public, but now Liu Yongxi has maintained restraint although he is pressing step by step, but these green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army have all disobeyed the military order and fled first.

Although the Eight Banners Army was extremely dissatisfied, it became a victim because of strict military discipline, and now Duoduo heard an incredible news: "Our ships in Yanziji were all snatched by Liu Liangzuo?" ”

Duoduo never thought that Liu Liangzuo's army, which had always been cowardly, would make such a crazy move, you must know that Liu Liangzuo was originally the weakest existence in the four towns of Jiangbei, and in the Battle of Huzhou, Liu Liangzuo's Qin Dapeng department, which was the most warlike in the army, was annihilated by the Yue Ming army.

And although Duoduo personally promised to help Liu Liangzuo replenish the soldiers and horses at that time, but now even Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's soldiers and horses are not complete, and the promise to replenish Liu Liangzuo's troops will naturally not come to fruition in the end, and Liu Liangzuo has also honestly become the key target of the Yue Ming army's attack, and now the soldiers and horses under his command are at most 5,000 people.

But no one expected that Liu Liangzuo would stab Duoduo and Haoge at this juncture, the Eight Banners Army was originally going to rely on this batch of boats from Yanziji to cross the river, but no one expected that Liu Liangzuo would strike first: "Hurry up and let Liu Liangzuo return the ferry!" ”

It's just that Haoge has already scolded: "It's a fart, since he dares to rob the ship, he definitely doesn't plan to pay it back, Liu Liangzuo, it's better for you to toss like this than to be a thief from Jinhua!" ”

Everyone thinks that Haoge's words are very reasonable, if Liu Liangzuo surrenders to the Yue Ming army, maybe the damage caused will be smaller, and now the sudden rush to grab the boat to cross the north is so that the Qing army in Nanjing can only cross the river with their bare butts, and there are too many soldiers who can't swim or can't swim across the Yangtze River, and it is a blessing that a thousand Qing troops can swim to the other side in the end.

Although Duoduo and Hauge also controlled some small boats to meet the situation, Yanziji's ships must be recaptured, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable: "Liu Liangzuo doesn't want to live? What's going on with the two cows in Yanziji? ”

In order to control these ships, Duoduo and Haoge deliberately deployed two elite armor soldiers of Niu Lu in Yanziji, originally thinking that they could be foolproof, but no one expected that these two Niu Lu would not even be able to parry Liu Liangzuo's shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

And the escaped Eight Banners armor soldiers quickly explained what was going on: "Liu Liangzuo also coerced many green battalion soldiers and new annexed troops, and they said that they were ordered by King Yu to protect the ships, but the soldiers were conspired against in a hurry!" ”

Duoduo was so angry that he stomped his feet: "What a Liu Liangzuo, such a skill should be used to deal with the Jinhua thief, if he has such a three-percent ability to deal with the Jinhua thief, he will not be defeated in a battle!" ”

Although there are still some ways for the ordinary rebel Liu Liangzuo, as long as he encounters the Yue Ming army, Liu Liangzuo is invincible and will be defeated at the touch of a button, so the Yue Ming army likes to find Liu Liangzuo as an opponent, Duoduo and Haoge left Liu Liangzuo because Liu Liangzuo is particularly deferential and has a blood feud with Liu Yongxi, but who would have thought that he would use all his skills on the Qing soldiers, so Duoduo was angry on the spot.

Haoge was also angry on the spot, but he still kept his senses: "The top priority now is to order Qi armor soldiers to take Yanziji back, without Yanziji's boats, the army can't cross the river!" ”

He said that he was talking about the "big army", but in fact it was a strong force of the Eight Banners, and now Duoduo has already figured it out: "It can't be delayed, order all Jiala and Niulu to move to Yanziji, and cross the river immediately after recapturing the ferry!" ”

Originally, Duoduo was ready to drag it out again, but Liu Liangzuo tossed it like this, and the Eight Banners Army couldn't leave if they wanted to, so the few small boats temporarily detained by Duoduo and Haoge were probably only able to cross one or two thousand people, and it was very likely that the whole army would be driven to the Yangtze River by Liu Yongxi and drowned.

In fact, the Qing army marching to Yanziji and the Yangtze River was not only the Eight Banners Army, the Mongolian army of the outer domain and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's troops all went out of the city gate as soon as possible, those who had boats tried to cross the river by themselves, and those who did not have boats rushed to Yanziji and other wharves, anyway, Liu Liangzuo had already run, and he couldn't run slower than Liu Liangzuo!

Duoduo and Haoge are still very confident in solving Liu Liangzuo, although Liu Liangzuo's main force of 5,000 people is in Yanziji and has coerced many green battalion soldiers and new annexed troops, but as long as the Qing armor soldiers arrive, they can take all the ferries back.

It's just that they didn't notice that when they left the city, Liu Ru was watching this Eight Banners elite.

Although Qian Qianyi is also a little red in front of King Yu, but he can't get in touch with many confidential things, Liu Ru doesn't know why the elite of the Qing army suddenly left the city, let alone how many Qing troops left the city, and how many Qing troops stayed in the city, she only knew that Duoduo and Haoge were in this Qing army, but the governor of Jiangnan Military University, Hong Chengchou, seemed to be still staying in the city.

"Is it time to do it?"

Liu Ru suddenly skipped such a bold idea in her heart, and she felt completely crazy.

During this time, she recruited hundreds of family members in the name of helping Qian Qianyi recruit family members, in addition to this, Ruan Lizhen also recruited dozens of people, but the total was less than two hundred, and although the Qing army in Nanjing poured out, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of Qing troops remained.

Although most of these Qing troops belong to the Green Battalion and the New Attached Army, the two hundred Ding generals in the hands of Liu Ru and Ruan Lizhen are also a rabble, and if they really want to make trouble, it will naturally be nine deaths, and Liu Ru knows very well that Qian Qianyi, a gentleman, will not agree to be so rash, he always pays attention to foolproof.

Liu Ruye's heart was beating hard, she had never been so excited, and she had never even thought that she wanted to do such a risky thing.

Although Liu Ruye has had many very thrilling experiences in her life, and she is a very decisive woman, at this moment she knows what it is to lick blood from a knife edge and what is between life and death.

Liu Ru felt that she would become a wisp of soul in the next moment, but she didn't have any fear, because she found the feeling that she had to do it.

Although it was nine deaths, although she had to bear the charge, Liu Ru was so excited for the first time, she felt that she was still the fearless girl.

She told the family next to her: "Go to the Sincerity Mansion, I have something to discuss with Miss Lizhen!"

Now every wharf along the Yangtze River is in chaos, Yanziji is even more chaotic, Duoduo and Haoge thought that Liu Liangzuo would start to rush the ferry as soon as he grabbed the ferry, but no one expected that Liu Liangzuo's department was still competing for the ferry.

Because the Yue Ming army may be killed at any time, every battalion leader, every commander, and every soldier wants to be the first to cross the river, so Yanziji is now in chaos, and the officers and soldiers who fight for the boat at every turn, sometimes even use real knives and guns.

Seeing this scene, Duoduo wanted to vomit blood again: "I have arranged two cattle records in Yanziji, and such a rabble can actually clean up my two cattle records!"

However, even more vomiting of blood was still to come, and even if many Qing troops grabbed the ferry, because there were no sailors, they rowed out not long after they went out in circles or drifted downstream, and the ferries in their hands naturally could not be recovered and used.

When Duoduo was so angry that he vomited blood, the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian Army of the Outer Domains had already controlled the situation, and the new annexed army and green battalion soldiers led by Liu Liangzuo were just a rabble, and when they encountered the Eight Banners strong army, they naturally became soft-footed shrimps, and when Duoduo was thinking about what to do next, he heard the iron hooves galloping behind him, and a light horse shouted: "King Yu, King Su, no, Nanjing is lost!"
