Chapter 193: Gao Yuanjue

At this moment, the city of Nanjing was in chaos.

As mentioned earlier, cities in the south are different from those in the north. Most of the city streets in the north are horizontal and vertical, that is, Chang'an City, hundreds of thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the 12th street is like a vegetable garden. They are all horizontal and vertical, but the streets in the south are zigzag. Because of the river or other terrain, and change the direction, not to mention the city of Nanjing, there are several rivers. This makes the streets even more tortuous. None of the main roads are straight.

At the beginning, the Qing army was defeated and retreated, and Li Chengdong could still use his prestige to control the thousands of men below.

But although the Xia army was like a city, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed in like a tide, densely covering almost all the streets.

Although there were still some people in the city who had moved from other places, Xia Jun was not friendly to them this time.

The reason is very simple, these people's butts are sitting on the side of the Qing court, without the support of the people in the city, the Qing army's defense force will also be greatly discounted, and the people of Nanjing City were slaughtered before, and many of the people killed were the families of the generals of the Xia army.

Therefore, in Zhang Xuan's propaganda, these people are naturally loyal ministers and righteous people. Then the people who helped the Qing army were naturally treacherous villains.

There was no mass killing, but there was no such regularity.

Generally speaking, when Zhang Xuan sent people into the city, he would assign generals to supervise military discipline. But this time, this point was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

So when Xia Jun fought, he also let go of his hands and feet, and didn't care about the people's property at all, the most of these belongings were houses, and many times they didn't follow the street when they were in a hurry, but directly removed a road from the house.

As a result, the city of Nanjing became even more chaotic.

Especially after dark, the visibility is low, whether it is the Xia army or the Qing army are scattered, but the military discipline of the Xia army is not bad, most of the lower-level officers have been trained, respectively, to the sentry, or the team as a unit, continue to advance, once you meet the enemy, hear the sound of shouting and killing, the surrounding Xia army will also be surrounded by the sound of shouting and killing.

Gao Yuanjue has always been at the forefront.

There is a gap between people.

Gao Yuanjue has been severely cultivated by Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing since he was a child, because they all know that in this troubled world, they can't survive without any real ability, and relaxing with Gao Yuanjue is not to love him, but to harm him. It was only after Gao Jie entered Nanjing that he changed and began to indulge Gao Yuanjue.

Gao Yuanjue is a child after all, and as soon as he lets go, he is not as good as a mad dog who is a girl, and he is not at home all night.

But an accident came down, and Gao Yuanjue followed

Xin picked up the martial arts he had practiced since he was a child, although he didn't dare to say that he was far above the others, but he was also skilled in arching and horses, coupled with a desperate desire to avenge his parents in his heart, he didn't care much about a battalion under his command at all, just rushed to the front, where there was a shout of killing, he killed somewhere, and the commander or something, there was only one sentence, that is, follow him to kill.

Gao Yuanjue did this, which seriously did not meet Zhang Xuan's requirements for officers.

In Zhang Xuan's view, a battalion officer has already stepped into the threshold of a senior officer with one foot. You can't rely on the courage of a horseman. But Gao Yuanjue did not have contact with army command when he was a child, and after Gao Jie entered Nanjing, he didn't want Gao Yuanjue to join the army, and he wanted Gao Yuanjue to raise him in the waste. is to show loyalty to Luo Yulong.

Therefore, let Gao Yuanjue command a battalion of soldiers, and Gao Yuanjue may not be competent.

But Gao Yuanjue did this, but he won the hearts of the upper and lower armies.

Although Zhang Xuan rushed to kill the battalion officials, it was strictly forbidden. But in the army, he admires the commander who takes the lead the most. Gao Yuanjue has the title of Duke of the country, he can say nothing, and in this life, he can also be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, but he has already rushed to the front to avenge his father. Up and down the camp, I was originally a little dissatisfied with Gao Yuanjue's sudden airborne, but now I see that he is really for revenge, but there is more sympathy.

As mentioned before, from the court to the people, loyal ministers and filial sons are extremely respected.

In this way, Gao Yuanjue has regained the heart of the army without his own knowledge. So under the pursuit of Gao Yuanjue regardless of it, Gao Yuanjue was one of the fastest chasing Xia troops, and after nightfall, Gao Yuanjue rushed too fast, which also made his headquarters detachment, front and back, and there was only one sentry horse by Gao Yuanjue's side.

The left and right are worried that Gao Yuanjue will lose, they can't afford it, after all, he is a national prince. But Gao Yuanjue ignored it, and when he found the fire in front of him, he rushed over. He was too familiar with the terrain of Nanjing, but in a moment, he crossed a bridge and saw a group of Qing troops. and a man in the Qing army.

In the light of the leaping torches, a familiar face emerged. It was Li Chengdong.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanjue's face changed drastically, and he said, "Thief Li, take your life." ”

He knew Li Chengdong. Li Chengdong, as Gao Jie's fresh subordinate, met Gao Yuanjue when he was young, and at that time, Gao Yuanjue had to call Li Chengdong uncle. also regards Li Chengdong as his own. The relationship is quite good, even after the Gao family arrived in Nanjing, they helped Li Chengdong many times.

There is a constant exchange between each other.

But how good the relationship was before, how much hatred Gao Yuanjue has in his heart now. Gao Yuanjue couldn't wait to eat Li Chengdong's flesh and skin at this moment, and his body was broken into thousands of pieces.

When Li Chengdong saw Gao Yuanjue, he was stunned at first, he didn't recognize Gao Yuanjue. Because in his impression, Gao Yuanjue was still a half-old child, but he didn't know that the past few years in his teens were the time when a person changed the most. Gao Yuanjue has long since grown from a half-old child to a man.

It is natural that Li Chengdong did not recognize it at a glance. He didn't seem to care who it was, but he knew it wasn't a good place to stay long. He secretly said in his heart: "I can't find Shi Tingzhu for a while, so I can only go first." Otherwise, it would be impossible to get out of the city after dawn. ”

Although the Xia army now entered the city of Nanjing through several gates, there were still several gates under the control of the Qing army.

These Qing soldiers were panicked, and they might be ready to surrender to the Xia army, and some people had even abandoned the city gate and fled outside, and the collapse of the Qing army also made the people on the city wall, and everyone else confused. Li Chengdong was ready to abandon the army and flee.

Therefore, when he saw the Xia army chasing after him, he did not parry, leaving a team of men and horses to resist, and went straight to the northeast, wanting to escape from this place in the city of Nanjing.

It's just how Gao Yuanjue can let go of Li Chengdong. He said to the soldier beside him: "The traitor in front is Li Chengdong." Get his head, Your Majesty will definitely have a generous reward, as long as you avenge me, no matter what Your Majesty rewards, I will not take a penny, give it to you, and ask you to help me, after today, you are my brother of life and death, as long as you can use mine, I will definitely not shirk, otherwise in the future, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky, and I will die under ten thousand arrows. ”

"Grandpa, why do you need to do this? I'll listen to my grandfather. All the soldiers said in unison.

Gao Yuanjue immediately divided a team of men and horses to contain the soldiers left by Li Chengdong, and he led the remaining soldiers to rush over and bite Li Chengdong's tail.

Li Chengdong had no intention of fighting, and wanted to escape, so he actually galloped on the street.

You must know that in the city of Nanjing today, it is pitch black.

It's not that there are no people in Nanjing, but the people are very clear at the moment, they are all hiding, even at home, they are locking the doors and windows, and closing the doors. Not to mention lighting the lamp, I don't even dare to breathe loudly. Therefore, in the dark night, in addition to several fires caused by the fighting, there were torches lit by the soldiers of both sides.

As soon as the horse ran, there was still some light in the torches or something. It's almost like smearing and running around, and this situation is quite dangerous.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanjue shook the whip and said on the war horse under him, and shouted loudly: "Drive." "He fought with his life today, and he wanted to leave Li Chengdong behind, what did Li Chengdong dare to do, what did he Gao Yuanjue dare not do.

So, on the dark streets of Nanjing, the two people chased each other.
