A small temple five miles southeast of Nanjing.

The small temple is not big, there are only about two acres of land before and after, and there are more than a dozen monks living in it, each monk's figure is a little weird, and the expression is indifferent, although the other places look normal, but the temple hides a mystery, hiding nearly 100 other people.

"Commander, the Lord Regent has an order!" A burly man held a letter and handed it to Balza.

Balza looked stubble, took the letter and opened it.

"The regent has an order, and if he can't find a chance to assassinate Emperor Remnant Ming within half a month, he will give up the assassination and withdraw all of them." After reading it, Balza said in a deep voice.

"Commander, is the regent going to lead the Great Qing Iron Cavalry south in the near future?"

"Not bad! The Great Qing Iron Cavalry will go south in ten days! ”

Balza had long learned that Dolgon was preparing to lead a large army south to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and knew very well that if they could assassinate the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty before this, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be chaotic, and the Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty would be unstoppable.

"It's been more than four months since Emperor Daming personally recruited Zuo Liangyu back, and he hasn't even gone out to the palace once, so I don't have any chance at all, how can I be good." Balza's deputy, Ziltai, said with a frown.

One hundred and twenty dead soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were led by Balza and Ziltai, and one hundred and twenty people except for more than 20 disguised monks and a dozen disguised beggars who hid next to the small temple, the remaining dozens of them were all in these rooms that were opened, and it has been half a year now, and they have been following Dolgon's orders, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Zhu Cihong, but they have not found a suitable opportunity.

"Leave it to fate! Although the assassination of the Emperor of the Remnant Ming can reduce the casualties of the Qing Dynasty, if it fails, the Iron Cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty will be led by the regent himself, and he can still easily set foot on the Jiangnan Remnant Ming. Balza was so confident that the regent Dorgon was a god in his eyes, and that he had never failed.

Speaking of Dorgon, all the Manchurian Dead showed reverence, and from the moment they were recruited into the Dead, they knew their mission very well, but the Regent obeyed the orders, and even if the Regent asked them to cut themselves, they must not frown even the slightest.

"Huh? There is a case! Suddenly, Balza's eyes jumped, and he quickly lay on the ground, pressing his ear to the ground and listening.

The earth shook slightly, and the rumbling sound came from far and near.

"Oh no, there are a lot of horses approaching here, and we must be exposed! Gather everyone and wait and evacuate! Balza shouted in horror.

It's not that Balza and others are timid and afraid of death, but as dead soldiers, their biggest role is to assassinate, not to fight hard.

Outside the temple, with the sound of a roaring iron horseman, Peng Cheng led nearly a thousand brocade guards to this place.

"Commander, this is the temple!" A brocade-clothed guard pointed to the small temple in front of him and said.

"Surround the temple, don't let go of all living creatures, kill them all on the spot!" Peng Cheng Senran ordered.

In order to make this raid foolproof, Peng Cheng brought all the horses and all the bows and crossbows of the Jinyi Guard.

"Bang! Squeak"

The gate of the temple was suddenly opened, and when the people who rushed out saw the Jinyi guards who had arrived, they immediately retreated and closed the gate.

Nearly a thousand brocade guards all dismounted and quickly surrounded the temple.

At this time, in a broken thatched hut not far from the temple in the north, more than a dozen burly beggars gathered here, and after seeing that the temple was surrounded by brocade guards, these dozen beggars quickly left without saying a word.

"My lord, those dozen beggars are extremely suspicious!" A brocade guard shouted as he pointed to the dozen or so beggars who had fled hundreds of meters away.

"If it's suspicious, it must be the same party, you immediately take dozens of people to chase and kill, don't let anyone go!"

Peng Cheng gave an order, and suddenly dozens of Jinyi guards rode fast horses to chase after him, but before they could chase hundreds of meters, the dozen beggars suddenly rode fast horses from a hidden place and galloped towards the north.

Dozens of brocade guards chased after each other.

"Rockets! Burn down this temple! Peng Cheng glanced at the dozen beggars who were fleeing on fast horses in the distance with a gloomy face, then turned around, stared at the temple in front of him and ordered.

Knowing that there were Manchu dead soldiers inside, Peng Cheng did not intend to attack and decisively ordered arson.

All the brocade guards quickly pulled out the strips of cloth, drew out the arrows, wrapped the strips of cloth around the arrows, and dipped them in fire oil.

Inside the temple, about a hundred people full of dead people gathered, each with a steel sword in his hand, half of them armed with bows and arrows.

"Commander, it's Jinyiwei who came, there are about a thousand people, and the temple has been completely surrounded." A man dressed as a monk reported to Balza.

"Less than a thousand brocade guards? Hmph, if you dare to surround us, kill them all! Balza's face was hideous.

Originally, according to the order of the regent, once they were exposed as dead soldiers without carrying out their mission, escaping was their first priority, but if they were besieged, they were not afraid, with just a hundred of them, they could be completely unafraid of the siege of nearly a thousand guards.

"Woohoo"

Hundreds of rockets suddenly flew in from outside the temple, and in a short time, the entire temple burst into flames.

"Kill it! Kill those brocade guards! Balza gave the order, and a hundred full of dead soldiers were all killed.

"Kill! Not a single one to stay! Peng Cheng waved his hand coldly, and nearly a thousand arrows were enough to form a rain of arrows, which flew towards the hundred Manchu dead soldiers who rushed out like rain.

"Woohoo"

The Manchurian dead were really extraordinary, constantly swinging their swords to block, and in the face of nearly a thousand arrows, there were less than twenty people who were hit by arrows, and all of them avoided the vital points, and did not completely lose their combat effectiveness.

The full dead man fought back, and quickly shot dozens of arrows at the Jinyi Guard, the accuracy was abnormal, almost every one of them hit a Jinyi Guard, and more than 20 Jinyi Guards were directly shot to death!

The corner of Peng Cheng's eyes jumped, and the full of dead soldiers was so strong.

After another round of firing, the two sides finally came together in close quarters.

Two rounds of arrow rain, more than 80 people in Jinyiwei were hit by arrows, and more than 40 people were killed directly, and nearly 20 people who were shot by arrows before were killed by the full people took the initiative to step forward to resist the second wave of arrows in Jinyiwei, although more than a dozen people were killed at once, but the people behind were hardly injured.

There are about 800 Jinyi guards intact, and there are about 80 people intact who are full of dead soldiers, almost a ratio of one to ten, but no dead soldiers are afraid of death, and the full dead are extremely fierce, and the Jinyi guard, which is ten times their own size, is not left behind.

"Ahh

...
