But Mrs. Xing thought about it carefully, and found that now is definitely the best time to cross south into Zhejiang, and if you leave a few days late, you will definitely be dumplings made by the Qing army and the new attached army, but if you leave early, your morale will definitely be devastated, not only will the results of several months of training be in vain, but also like many Ming troops, you will be afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and you will lose the courage to fight with the Qing army.

It is precisely because of a few tough battles with the Qing army that there are still a lot of grievances below before the withdrawal, and I feel that Linhuai Town can get greater results, but fortunately, everyone has come to their senses as soon as the news of Yang Chengzu comes over!

Zhao Zhijie, the veteran below, said: "This retreat to the south is not a problem of our Linhuai Town, it is that these friendly troops are more unreliable than one another, and when we arrive in Zhejiang, the situation will be different, it is our own territory!" ”

Although I haven't seen Empress Zhang for half a year, Zhao Zhijie, the old people who escorted Empress Zhang's southern crossing all the way, have always regarded her as their biggest backer, so Liu Yongxi said that they didn't have many doubts about crossing the river into Zhejiang.

Wen Qing, who just came to report the news, immediately added a situation: "Uncle Chengyi, Mrs. Xing, there is still one important thing now, that is, the battalion officer Yu Zhijie has created a lot of momentum in Yangzhou, he wrote to ask us to support Yangzhou as soon as possible, saying that Yangzhou has made great achievements, what do you say!" ”

As soon as Mrs. Xing heard Yu Zhijie's voice, she snorted coldly: "He doesn't even listen to my orders, how can we bet the fate of the whole army on him, do you think this is the truth!" ”

Yu Zhijie is Gao Jie's old department, but he is also known for being unruly and unruly in Gao Jie's camp, before Mrs. Xing sent him to take a battalion of 500 people to escort part of the grain that Linhuai Town could not send away to Yangzhou, saving a reputation for Linhuai Town to leave without a fight.

But no one expected this Yu Zhijie to be so good at tossing, Mrs. Xing meant to let Yu Zhijie return immediately after transporting this batch of grain, but he took the chicken feathers as an arrow, and as soon as he entered Yangzhou, he swallowed up a small group of routs everywhere in the name of Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing, and it is said that it has now expanded to eight or nine hundred people and even commanded friendly troops.

Shi Kefa had no rules for how to defend Yangzhou, and when he saw Yu Zhijie's performance so bright, he let Yu Zhijie toss, and now Yu Zhijie has even become the main force guarding Yangzhou.

Mrs. Xing really didn't expect Yu Zhijie to be so tormented, and she felt heartache when she thought that Yu Zhijie's entire camp would follow Yangzhou to accompany her to the funeral.

Although she had a lot of losses in containing the rest of Gao Jie's troops before, it added up to less than 400 people, and these few sentry battles contained more than 2,000 Gao Jie's remainders, and now Yu Zhijie's loss of the battalion leader in Yangzhou is meaningless, so she couldn't help but be ruthless: "Tell Yu Zhijie to stick to help, brothers, I can't help it!" It is impossible to let the whole army be buried under the city of Yangzhou! ”

Everyone can understand Mrs. Xing's choice, but Liu Yongxi shook his head and said: "Inform Yu Zhijie to break through as soon as possible, how many brothers can be highlighted, there is no need to stick to help!" ”

Although the following officers could understand Liu Yongxi's choice, they were on Mrs. Xing's side: "Little uncle, this matter still listens to Mrs. Xing's opinion, you can't do it because one hundred and eighty brothers buried the whole army, if Yu Zhijie acts according to Mrs. Wan's wishes, how can there be such a situation today, so please come according to Mrs. Xing's wishes!" ”

Liu Yongxi could only sigh when he saw that even Fuding, the old man of the sincere Bofu, stood up to support Mrs. Xing: "Okay, I will listen to Madame's arrangement!" ”

And for Boluo, a solid mountain beizi, he never thought that Yangzhou would be so difficult to deal with.

He originally thought that Yangzhou City was just around the corner, after all, even Bu Congshan, who belonged to Shi Kefa's Chinese army, led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Shi Kefa is not a handsome talent, and there is no way to surrender to his subordinates, as the people of the time said, "Shi Daoling is more than enough, but not enough." Ma Yao's grass guard is in disarray, and she does not get rid of her heroic spirit. The use of soldiers is not the director of Daoling, and Yaocao is not the talent of the servants. Internal history, external horses, both have their strengths", he has been operating in Yangzhou for a year but has not achieved any results, Bo Zhiluo feels that Yangzhou is just around the corner, but Yu Zhijie of Linhuai Town suddenly appeared and disrupted Bolo's plan.

Strictly speaking, several sentry battles with Linhuai Town broke the overall plan of the Qing army, making Bo Luo feel that he had to take Yangzhou City as soon as possible, and arrived at Yangzhou City without waiting for the red-coated artillery to launch a strong attack on the same day, and as a result, he was hit by the city's artillery bombardment, and Yu Zhijie, who suddenly appeared, was at least a qualified general, and his attack and defense were quite orderly.

Although Yangzhou City is difficult to deal with, Bolo doesn't think that he can hold it for long, as long as he waits for the red-clothed cannon to arrive, it will be the day when Yangzhou will fall into the city.

After all, the southern expeditionary army of Duoduo is now rolling more and more like a snowball, only 80,000 people when they went south to De, almost 100,000 people when they approached Yangzhou, and there were 20,000 or 30,000 Qing troops near Yangzhou who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and they were all elite field troops, among which there were even more than 10,000 troops under the command of Liu Liangzuo, Guangchangbo, how could Yangzhou hold in this situation.

Now he only needs to wait for the red-clothed cannon, and Bu Congshan, who has just surrendered, is very enthusiastic on the side to make a suggestion: "Yu Zhijie doesn't know whether he lives or dies, but he has to be careful to beware of Liu Yongxi, and he must prepare an ambush as soon as possible to annihilate his reinforcements!"

Bolo has always felt that these generals are useless on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and they can be reborn if they defect to the Qing Dynasty, and the same is true for this Bu Congshan, who is just a mediocre general under Shi Kefa, but now he is working very hard for the new master, so Bolo did not hesitate to give enough sweetness: "As long as Liu Yongxi can be annihilated, the regent will be heavily punished!"

The brothers Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu on the side even volunteered: "Please give us a chance to let us be the first to rush to Yangzhou City to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty!"

They feel like their opportunity has come!

Yu Zhijie in Yangzhou City is ignorant of the upheaval outside the city, although he knows that many Ming generals surrendered to the Qing army with their troops, but Yu Zhijie feels that this is a once-in-a-lifetime God-given opportunity: "Yangzhou has soldiers, food, and cannons, why can't it hold it?" I think Xiao Chengyi is too confused, if I were him, I would definitely take the soldiers and horses to enter Yangzhou as soon as possible, but it's a pity that he was too confused, and he actually gave me such a miracle!"

Speaking of this, Yu Zhijie became more and more proud.

The reason why he took such a risk was naturally because he was stimulated by Liu Yongxi's various deeds, a year ago, Liu Yongxi was still a milky child who was nothing, and there were only thirty or fifty family members at most, but a year later, he not only had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but also hugged the beauty.
