Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bringing Back to Defu

The eunuch sent by the Southern Ming Dynasty to Liu Xia had not yet arrived at the Guide Mansion, and on the way he heard that the Qing army was coming to attack, and it was said that tens of thousands of troops were raised, and thousands of Tartar cavalry came, and the general who led the troops was the famous Gongshun King Kong Youde.

After hearing this, the eunuch began to hesitate whether to go to Guide Mansion to announce the decree, and along the way, he saw many people fleeing from the direction of Guide Mansion, and they all said that Liu Xia would be defeated, and he would definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Qing army, and it was only a matter of time before Guide Mansion was breached. The eunuch's face became more and more pale, and he was so frightened that he couldn't take a step forward.

"Princess, let's go?" The other little eunuch, whose face turned even paler, asked timidly.

Before the little eunuch's words fell, the more than 30 Ming soldiers who were guarding the eunuch instantly focused their eyes on the prince.

Wang Gonggong knows that he is the biggest here, and all decisions must be taken by himself, whether to go back to Nanjing City as soon as possible, or to go to Guide Mansion only rely on his own words.

In the same way, this responsibility must be borne by oneself, whether to go or not? Along the way, all the people said that the Guide Mansion could not be defended, and Liu Xia was about to be defeated.

Although Liu Xia had defeated Duoduo before, he also knew what the situation was at that time, and it was not surprising that he could defeat it, and now as everyone knows, the Qing army is prepared, can Liu Xia still be defeated?

A milky kid in his twenties who has not dried up, can beat the battle-hardened Kong Youde?

Not only did the people have no confidence in Liu Xia at this time, but even the princes who understood things did not have much confidence in Liu Xia at this time.

It seems that there are less than 3,000 soldiers around Liu Xia who can participate in the war!

The Qing army seems to have tens of thousands of people, how can this battle be fought? On the contrary, there are many examples of winning more with less, but can Liu Xia become one of them? Maybe, but now that Liu Xia has not defeated Kong Youde, the prince has no confidence in Liu Xia at all.

"Our family, our family, our family doesn't know!" The princess waved his hand helplessly with a sad face.

At the beginning, he used a lot of money to get through the relationship to get this errand, but now the happy errand has become a dead place.

The prince regretted it, not only is the gold and silver scattered now gone, but if he goes, he may lose his life, and even if he goes back now, he will definitely not be reused.

Now his bowels are full of repentance, alas, why did he have to fight for this errand in the first place.

A young general said: "My father-in-law has to make up my mind, whether to go or go back, everything is up to my father-in-law." ”

The prince sighed and did not speak.

At this time, another group of homeless people passed by.

"I heard that the Qing army has crossed the Yellow River and is going to attack Guide Mansion!"

"It seems that the Guide Mansion is afraid that it will fall soon, alas, the city that was finally snatched back has to be returned to the Tartars. I don't know if the Tartars will slaughter the city again in a fit of rage after entering the city! ”

Wang Gonggong's face turned pale suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Go back, go back, let's go back, our family wants to return to the emperor, Liu Xia is finished." Quick, hurry back! ”

After listening to the words of the prince, the faces of those soldiers showed joy, they are not people who fight, if there is a war, wouldn't it be a small life? I still have my wife and children in Nanjing, and Xiaohong in Yihong Courtyard is still waiting to go!

These pro-soldiers of the Son of Heaven are more powerful than the other when it comes to playing prestige, but when it is their turn to fight, one is more timid than the other.

"Hurry up, father-in-law said, go back quickly, father-in-law, get in the carriage quickly, let's hurry back!"

Guide to the province

More than 200 people, driving more than 1,000 war horses, and carrying back six wounded people at the same time, came to the bottom of the city tower of Guide Mansion.

Although the people above the gate saw that the people below were dressed like themselves, they still did not immediately open the gate.

"Who's under the city?" The archers on the tower are ready, and if they find that it is an enemy, the overwhelming bows and arrows will fly like locusts.

The leader of the troops was Captain Wang Hongyuan, the captain of the third brigade of the wolf howling battalion, Wang Hongyuan rode forward and ran a few steps, and shouted loudly: "I am Wang Hongyuan, the captain of the third brigade of the wolf howling battalion, and I will send more than 1,000 captured war horses and wounded soldiers into the city by the general's order, please open the city gate and let us in!" ”

Although the people at the city gate had heard of Wang Hongyuan, they had not seen the real person, and they still did not dare to let him go, because he knew the consequences if he let the enemy in......

One of the recruits at the city gate shouted: "General, wait a minute! ”

Then he said to another recruit beside him: "You go and invite Master Chen to come over, go quickly!" ”

"Yes," said the recruit, who hurried down the tower.

The recruit lay on the top of the city tower again and shouted below: "Lord Fenweiwei, please understand the little one, the little one has no right to open the door for you, the little one will go and ask Lord Chen to come over." ”

Wang Hongyuan nodded helplessly, in this case, if he didn't dare to open the door at will, if he let in the spies, then ...... Although I am not, I am not afraid of 10,000 if I am not afraid of anything, and I can't make the slightest mistake.

On the castle tower

With a new soldier, Chen Liu and Zhang Liang walked briskly to the top of the city tower, this is an extraordinary period, and only Chen Liu can make a decision.

As soon as Chen Liu's front foot reached the top of the city tower, the recruit immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, ...... below."

Chen Liu nodded and said, "I know, the general does have an order." ”

After saying that, Chen Liu looked at the city, and Wang Hongyuan immediately shouted excitedly: "Military advisor! ”

Chen Liu nodded, and then said to a recruit beside him: "Open the city gate and let them in, and at the same time order the recruits to receive more than a thousand war horses." ”

The recruit made a promise and hurriedly shouted, "Put the drawbridge down, quick!" ”

"Squeak!" "Squeak!"

The wooden suspension bridge was slowly lowered under the sliding of the rigid chain.

Then the gates of Guide Mansion slowly opened.

Hundreds of recruits immediately poured out to meet the third brigade of the Wolf Howling Battalion.

A lieutenant ran over and said solemnly to Wang Hongyuan: "The captain of the third squadron of the second brigade of the new barracks greets the general!" Please enter the city with the general! ”

Then hundreds of recruits went to receive the war horses, Wang Hongyuan nodded, and then followed the squadron leader towards the city.

The number of recruits in the battalion is different from that of other battalions, and the recruits also have only three brigades, one of which is close to several thousand, and then one battalion is divided into four squadrons, and one squadron is under the management of more than 250 people.

Although the recruit battalion is a recruit battalion, the captain, squadron leader, and squad leader in the recruit battalion are not recruits, but personnel who have been injured and retired from other battalions.

Nearly 500 people and more than 1,000 horses moved into the city as fast as possible, and then the drawbridge outside the city was pulled up again, and the city gate was heavily closed.

Entering the city, Chen Liu stepped forward and said, "Captain Wang will go to rest first, and tomorrow you will go out of the city to the headquarters." ”

Then Chen Liu said again: "Where is Bai Yitu?" Hand him over to me."

Wang Hongyuan made a promise and shouted to the people behind him: "Bring Bai Yitu up." ”

At this time, a soldier came from the rear, led a war horse, and a big man was tied to the horse, this big man was Bai Yitu, at this time, Bai Yitu couldn't move up and down, his hands and feet had been cut down by the king stone, and he had no ability to move, so he couldn't escape, his face was embarrassed, he looked like a beggar, and there were flies buzzing around.

Chen Liu pointed at Bai Yitu and said, "He is Bai Yitu?" The head of the eight Manchu protectors? ”

Although Liu Xia sent a secret letter to tell Chen Liu that he was attacked by Bai Yitu and finally killed Bai Yitu, he did not say in detail about Bai Yitu's situation, so Chen Liu did not know the specific situation.

Wang Hongyuan said coldly: "No, it's this Tartar who actually chopped up the dead brothers...... Alas, his appearance was caused by the general ordering Battalion Commander Wang to cut off his hands and feet, after all, Bai Yitu was a powerful Tartar, and he would not lose his combat effectiveness, and he would have fled long ago when he was on the road. ”

Chen Liu nodded and said, "Well, okay, Captain Wang, go down, and I'll take it away first." ”

"Come on, put Bai Yitu on death row."

Zhang Hongyuan thanked him, and then took two hundred of his men to rest in the designated place with a new recruit.

Guide to the backyard of the Tak House

Bian Yujing sat in the small pavilion in the pool, bored looking at the carp swimming in the pool.

At this moment, there was a sound of broken steps.

"Sister, are you still thinking about your brother-in-law? Hurry up and eat some of these grapes, they're so fresh! Bian Min walked over with a smile, holding a plate of fresh grapes in his hand.

Bian Yujing came back to his senses and smiled indifferently: "Min'er, there are some things you don't understand. Eat the grapes yourself, my sister has no appetite. ”

"Oh, sister~~ You said that your brother-in-law has been gone for a few days, why don't you send someone to send news to your sister!" Bian Min pursed his lips a little unhappily.

Bian Yujing's expression was indifferent, and he said with some sadness: "He is fighting with the Qing army at this time, where does he have time to worry about other things?" It is important to fight, this battle is very important for us, and if we lose, you and I will ...... Alas, don't talk about this, Min'er, have you taken a fancy to which soldier here? My sister is your matchmaker. ”

Bian Min said shamefully: "Sister Hugh wants to say it again, as if Min'er can't get married." ”

"Madame, ma'am, someone has returned from outside the city!" At this moment, the voice of a maid came from a distance.

I saw a little girl jogger walking towards the pavilion.

Bian Yujing's face immediately showed joy, and he hurriedly stood up, walked towards the maid, and asked, "Is the general back?" ”

The maid wiped the sweat from her face, took a breath and said, "Madam, the general has not returned, it seems that a captain has come back, transported thousands of war horses, and is now resting in a courtyard not far away." ”

Bian Yujing asked again, "Do you know which battalion is the captain?" ”

The maid said: "It seems to be from the wolf howling camp, yes, it is from the wolf howling camp." ”

This maid is Bian Yujing, so that she always pays attention to the affairs of the city gate, and once someone comes back, she will come to notify immediately
