Looking at Gao Jie's shocked expression, Xing Qiao'er chuckled, which can be described as a clever smile, but a pair of apricot eyes revealed an indescribable coldness: "Why can't you join the imperial court?" The Ming court is recognized as orthodoxy by the people of the world, and Xinguo Gong is known as the first god of war in the Ming Dynasty, and even the invincible Manchu Tartars were destroyed by his old man, do you think Li Zicheng and those mud legs under his command can beat the officers and soldiers of the court or the Jiangning army under the command of Xinguo Gong? ”

"I ......"

Gao Jie was a little unconvinced and was about to speak, but he found that he really couldn't refute anything, don't look at the past few months, Li Zicheng has led the rebel army to attack cities and seize land in the south of the Yangtze River, which seems to be majestic, but Gao Jie understands that it is just a superficial phenomenon.

In fact, the reason why they can be so majestic is just that the Jiangning army is releasing water, and until now, all the cities they occupied have been taken back by the Jiangning army, and they originally thought that they could recuperate after taking Hangzhou City, but this dream now seems to have become very slim, and what is worse is that they don't know where the main force of the Jiangning army is, and whether it will suddenly come out from behind them and eat them like hungry wolves.

Xing Qiao'er continued: "The slave family heard that the Duke of Xinguo has won the trust of His Majesty today, and he is an important minister of the court with heavy troops, if we take refuge in the Duke of Xinguo, we dare not say that we are prosperous and rich, but the peace of the first life can at least be guaranteed, what do you think?" ”

"This ......"

Gao Jie hesitated, to be honest, Li Zicheng was still good to him, and he had never thought of betraying him before, but now it was different, he put on a green hat for him, this thing was unbearable if a man was a man, if the matter was revealed, he really didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Seeing that Gao Jie was still hesitating, Xing Qiao'er added another fire: "Gao Lang, Li Zicheng knows better than you what kind of slave family he is." His first wife was killed by him for stealing a man, if our affairs leak out, if he can be beheaded, he is already merciful, what are you hesitating about? ”

"Okay, I'm out of the way." Gao Jie gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and agreed.

"That's right."

Seeing Gao Jie agree, Xing Qiao'er had a flower-like smile on her face, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him lightly on the face.

"Gao Lang, the slave family asks you, how many people can you really listen to you, that is, how many people can you pull away?"

"About 2,000 people."

"Well, listen, since we want to join the officers and soldiers, we can't go so empty-handed, otherwise others will look down on us. You're going to be ...... like this later."

Xing Qiao'er put her small mouth in Gao Jie's ear and whispered, Gao Jie nodded again and again while listening......

Just when Xing Qiaoer and Gao Jie, a passionate man and woman, were discussing how to join the imperial court, behind a valley more than forty miles away from Hangzhou Mansion, Gou Xingma, Yan Di, and Cao Yingmao were squatting on the ground, arguing about something from time to time around a map.

I only heard Gou Xingma say: "According to the report sent by Grandpa Guo, Li Zicheng and his 60,000 or 70,000 troops are now besieging Hangzhou Mansion with all their might, and now the main people responsible for the siege are Li Laiheng, Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yongzhong, and these four people have a total of more than 40,000 horses.

There are more than 30,000 people under Li Zicheng's command, and the battle has been fought so far, in addition to the main force under Li Zicheng's command, the soldiers and horses under the command of Li Laiheng and other four people have lost a lot, if we suddenly kill now, the first thing to attack is the men and horses under Li Zicheng, but the big guy must remember that Grandpa Guo has confessed, we are going to fight hard, but we must also leave a way for Li Zicheng to live, so that they have a chance to escape, do you understand? ”

Cao Yingmao said with a big grin: "This is simple, I will lead five thousand elite cavalry under my command to suddenly kill the thief and defeat it, and the two brothers will follow behind to cover up and kill."

As long as he rushes back and forth for a few rounds, Li Zicheng's 70,000 thieves can escape with 30,000 people, even if he is powerful. ”

"Well, I think that's a good idea." Gou Xingma nodded, and then instructed: "Lao Cao, you have to remember, don't kill too hard, you must let Li Zicheng retain a certain strength, otherwise if it is a big matter for the grandfather of the country, I don't need to say that you also know what the consequences will be." ”

Cao Yingmao and Yan Di felt a pang in their hearts, and said in unison: "We naturally know this." ”

"Okay, get ready, and attack on time in half an hour."

"Understood!"

Under the city of Hangzhou, the battle situation in Qingbo Gate is still very fierce, at this time Liu Zongmin's department has retreated, but at this moment, it is Hao Yongzhong's department that is attacking Qingbo Gate.

In the battle just now, Liu Zongmin was reprimanded by Li Zicheng because of the sake of preserving his strength, and then had to strengthen the offensive, but was stubbornly blocked by the Jiangning army, under the blow of firearms, 10,000 enemies and napalm, Li Zongmin's more than 10,000 men and horses lost almost forty percent in an hour, and the heavy losses made Liu Zongmin so distressed that he almost shed tears.

"Quick, let the archers press up, suppress the opponent's musketeers, and don't let them shoot at us calmly!"

A mile away from the city wall, Hao Yongzhong watched the soldiers who kept falling down the ladder and shouted anxiously.

Someone else reminded: "Hao Ye, the firearms of the officers and soldiers are very fierce, and our archers don't dare to get too close." ”

"Fart, isn't it because the officers and soldiers are so powerful that we won't fight? You go and tell those bastards, if anyone dares to retreat in fear, Lao Tzu will recognize him, but Lao Tzu will not know him with the knife in his hand, understand? ”

Hao Yongzhong has always been known for being cruel and irritable when he was in the rivers and lakes, and this cronie did not dare to touch his brow at this time, so he hurriedly took his order.

Under Hao Yongzhong's strict order, hundreds of archers hid behind the shield carts, slowly approached the city wall, and then began to shoot covering the city wall, of course, Hao Yongzhong's idea was good, but the effect was not satisfactory, and soon these shield carts were blown up by the 10,000 enemies thrown down from the city wall, and even these archers suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this, Hao Yongzhong was so angry that he scolded.

When Li Zicheng was commanding the army to storm Hangzhou City regardless of casualties, in the temporary camp in the rear, Gao Jie was commanding his soldiers to carry boxes of things onto the carts, judging from the traces of the wheels, the weight of these boxes was not light.

Some soldiers were curious and wanted to ask, but they were stopped by their superiors.

Gao Jie, who was dressed in armor, asked Xing Qiao'er: "Qiao'er, have you carried everything into the car?" ”

"It's all in the car." Xing Qiao'er nodded, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity, if there is enough time, I can even move all this grain and grass." ”

"You have it." Gao Jie said with a smile: "It's good that we can move these gold and silver treasures, just these, King Chuang will be so distressed that he will vomit blood." ”

"Hmph, he did it himself."

Xing Qiao'er snorted lightly, I have to say that if a woman turns her face, she is much more powerful than a man, and when she thinks that her family's guys, housekeepers, and family members have died in the hands of thieves, new hatreds and old hatreds come to her heart together.
