Guo Yunlong's tentative attack has now come to an end and ended in a fiasco. I saw him lead the remnants into the night in embarrassment.

"Although the Qing army was defeated, their combat effectiveness was good. Judging by the casualties. They can indeed be called elite divisions. Under the fire of thousands of archers, it is not easy for this person to be able to retain so many troops. ”

"The order will go down, and all the soldiers who are standing guard tonight will go back to rest and change their guards."

"Yes!"

When the sun was shining, Liu Dazhuang ordered the men to go out of the city to bury the corpses and retrieve the arrows. After all, it's not all at night.

In the afternoon, Liu Xia led the personal guard regiment and more than a dozen cannons to finally come to the Tiger Prison Pass.

"General, the vanguard of the Qing army has reached thirty miles east of the Tiger Prison. And yesterday there was already a skirmish. Liu Dazhuang respectfully reported yesterday's scene to Liu Xia, who was a little tired.

"There's already been a fight?" Liu Xia was surprised. This Wu Sangui was too anxious, so he began to send troops to attack the city when he arrived here.

Liu Dazhuang said: "The subordinates feel that Wu Sangui is testing the strength of his subordinates' troops, and the defense is real. ”

"En" Liu Xia nodded and said: "Wu Sangui suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and he will definitely not underestimate us again, which has made them more vigilant." Took us more seriously. ”

"Ben Hou brought you three more red-coated cannons and ten tiger squat cannons to defend them. Wang Xiaotong! ”

That Wang Xiaotong walked over in artillery clothes and bowed respectfully: "The subordinates are here." The general commands! ”

"Place these cannons on top of the city tower, and at the same time send scouts to investigate the movements of Wu Sangui's army."

"Yes!"

"Dadada"

"Report!"

"Say!"

"Tell the general, Wu Sangui is thirty miles away looking at the trees and building siege equipment."

"Siege engines, it looks like the armies of Azig or Duoduo are coming soon. Any news from Nanjing? ”

Liu Dazhuang said: "General Hui, the scouts sent out before have been to Nanjing for a few days, but they have not come back. Yes, it should have been shipwrecked on the road. ”

Liu Xia frowned when he heard this, and said, "You send someone to find out, what is going on." ”

"Yes!"

--------

Wu Sangui was in the camp at this time, listening to Guo Yunlong's report. Guo Yunlong attacked the city in the dark yesterday, but was discovered by Liu Dazhuang, resulting in a lot of injuries to the soldiers, and his right arm was also shot, but fortunately it was only a minor injury, and he could pick up a gun again after a few days of recuperation.

"Tell the prince. According to the night attack, the enemy army above the Tiger Prison Pass was indeed the army of tigers and wolves. The incompetence of his subordinates caused heavy casualties among the soldiers. ”

Wu Sangui took a sip of the tea on the table and said: "I can't blame you for this matter, this king knows your ability, although it was cloudy yesterday, but the moonlight is some, and people with particularly good eyes may really be able to see clearly." Prince Yu and Prince Ying will arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass in two days, and the king must hurry up to make siege equipment. Compared to the time, Prince Yu will bring a lot of cannons. This king will turn the tiger prison into a target and fight well! ”

"Pass the order down and watch the surroundings. At this time, there will be a lot of scouts compared to the Tiger Prison. The king didn't want them to ruin the king's affairs, so he sent someone to arrest the scouts, and tortured them alive to tell them the specific information about the Tiger Prison. This matter will be handed over to you, and now that you can't take weapons, then let this king manage these for the time being. ”

Although Guo Yunlong was a little unwilling, he still obeyed the order.

"The world says that you Liu Xia is the one who saves the country and the hope of the Ming Dynasty. This king wants to see how you can become the hope of the Ming Dynasty, and how you can save the Ming Dynasty, which has already become a rotten wood. ”

"Although this king endures the name of a traitor, but this king has become a king in the end, unlike you Liu Xia is just a marquis now. The Ming Dynasty is really rotten wood that cannot be carved. When you meet such a person, you don't even envelop them. I heard that you, Liu Xia, sent troops to Nanjing to ask for help. This king can imagine that those people in Nanming who are greedy for life and afraid of death will not dare to send troops to rescue you. ”

In the city of Nanjing, there was news everywhere that Luoyang City had been breached, and some people even said that Liu Xia had been arrested. The Qing army will soon march south to break through Nanjing.

Hearing the news, even Emperor Hongguang, who only knew how to drink the royal maid on weekdays, couldn't sit still. Hurriedly summoned Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi and others to inquire.

"Luoyang, Luoyang has really been broken again? So why was Hou Liu Xia really arrested? The Qing army is about to invade Nanjing? Listening to Emperor Hongguang's inquiry, Ma Shiying couldn't cry or laugh. said: "Your Majesty don't worry, Luoyang has not yet been breached, and Liu Xia, the Marquis of Pingbei, has not been arrested." The Qing army even came to Nanjing. Your Majesty can rest assured. ”

After Ma Shiying said, Emperor Hongguang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good." I heard that you sent a peerless beauty to Liu Xia, why didn't you send that beauty to me? ”

Qian Qianyi was already worried about that matter in his heart, and now Emperor Hongguang brought it up again, his face was slightly angry, but as a courtier, although thousands of people in his heart looked down on this Hongguang Emperor, no matter how rebellious he was outside, but by the side of this Hongguang Emperor, he Qian Qianyi still needed to abide by the etiquette. So Qian Qianyi endured it as much as he could.

Ma Shiying said: "Back to Your Majesty, that beauty is not beautiful, so I have never dedicated it to Your Majesty." So where has Liu Xia seen a real beauty? The minister just found an ordinary family, so that Liu Xia was fascinated, which of the ladies in His Majesty's harem is not Tianzi and the country, and it is a thousand times better than that beauty. Your Majesty doesn't think much about it. ”

"Hahahaha, well said, well said. There are thousands of beauties in my harem. Which is not coquettish, captivating the country and the city. Yesterday I was tired of playing with two beauties, so I will reward you two today. A slight smile appeared on Emperor Hongguang's pale face.

Even though Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi were reluctant in their hearts, they also bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." ”

Emperor Hongguang nodded and said, "Why hasn't Liu Xia come to Nanjing yet?" Since he was not caught by the Qing army, he had not even come to Nanjing, and he was really impatient. Hurry up and tell that Liu Xia that if you don't come again tomorrow, I will kill him. ”

Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi looked at Emperor Hongguang as if they were looking at an idiot. Can this kind of thing be said at this time? Don't look at your own status anymore, we call you Your Majesty is worthy of you, do you really think you can manipulate the world? Kill whoever you want? Ma Shiying felt that he had to wake up this idiot emperor, otherwise something would definitely break down one day.

On the way back, Ma Shiying had been wondering how to wake up Emperor Hongguang in his heart, so he began to come up with some strategies in his heart.

I have to let you know that your throne is not doing right, and the world is not peaceful. I have to let you know who is the master of this Nanjing city, and I have to let you know that you are just a puppet. Ma Shiying thought to herself.
