Chapter 170: The Battle of Nanjing (13)
Yang Wenfu's head was cut off, Ma Cheng stepped forward and kicked the helmet away, then grabbed the bun and pushed the crowd away to the last few hundred Qing troops left by the city wall. Ma Cheng carried Yang Wenfu's head and said loudly: "You guys have seen clearly, your generals have been killed by Lao Tzu, and there are only a few hundred of you left, and now Lao Tzu has given you a chance, only once, put down your arms and surrender!" For the sake of all Han people, Lao Tzu can give you a way to live! ”
In the end, there were probably more than 300 Qing troops left, and these were the elite of the elite. The 2,000 people who came up this time were not as large as the last time, but the damage caused was much greater than the last time. For the first time, Ma Cheng's new army did not suffer any casualties at all, only a few minor wounds. However, this time there were casualties among the new army, and as far as Ma Cheng's eye could see, more than a dozen soldiers of the new army were hacked to death, and hundreds of soldiers were seriously injured.
These guys are so strong in combat, Ma Cheng also has the idea of subduing, anyway, they are all Han Chinese, and recruiting these elites to supplement their own army can be regarded as a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.
The remaining more than 300 people of the Qing army saw that Yang Wenfu had been killed, and their morale was immediately demoralized, but they were all Liu Liangzuo's henchmen, and they were still hesitating whether to surrender.
Ma Cheng saw that no one in the Qing army spoke, and said to Wang Shuang beside him: "Wang Shuang, push a few cannons, load them with shotguns, these guys let them taste the meat sauce without speaking!" ”
The Qing army and the Ming army fought for a day, and they had a deep understanding of the power of the Ming army's artillery, and now they heard that the Ming army was going to use artillery against themselves, and a hundred households in the Qing army hurriedly said: "My lord, we have the blood of the Ming army on our hands, can you spare us?" ”
"This is easy to say, Lao Tzu now promises that as long as you lay down your arms and join Lao Tzu's team, then you will be brothers from now on, and you will not be to blame for the past!"
The hundred households still didn't believe it, and shouted again: "My lord, can you call the shots when you speak?" ”
Ma Cheng heard the hundred households ask, smiled and said to the soldiers beside him: "Brothers, tell these guys, who is Lao Tzu?" ”
All the soldiers of the Ming army said loudly: "This is our military lord, Lord Ma Chengma!" ”
Only then did the hundred households know that this young man was the commander-in-chief of Nanjing City. The hundred households looked around, the battle on the entire city wall had stopped, most of the two thousand people who followed Yang Wenfu were dead, only more than three hundred people were left, the hundred households sighed and put down their weapons, and then knelt down on their knees and said, "The villain is willing to surrender!" ”
With the officer taking the lead, the remaining 300 people followed suit and laid down their weapons and surrendered.
At the end of the battle at the head of the city, Ma Cheng threw Yang Wenfu's head from the city, and then shouted: "Under the city, look who this is!" ”
The Qing army officers under the city saw that Yang Wenfu, who was the most capable of fighting under Liu Liangzuo, was dead, and the siege had been fought for a day, and tens of thousands of people had died here in Jubaomen, and their morale and physical strength had been exhausted.
Seeing the Qing army retreating like a tide, Ma Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, today is an official battle to defend the city, but it is not bad, his side is quite comfortable, and the casualties are not large, and he can fight for ninety. Ma Cheng looked up at the direction of Zhengyangmen, the specific situation was not clear, but he saw that the Qing army in Zhengyangmen had also retreated, and it was estimated that Zhang Guozhu's side was similar to his side.
At the end of the battle, the new army retreated to the nest shop to repair, and the people in the city came up again and began to clean up the corpses at the head of the city, clean the blood on the city walls, replenish the consumed materials for defending the city, repair the broken defense equipment, and so on. In addition to these, they also sent men down from the city wall to clean up the corpses under the city.
It's May now, although because of the Xiaoice River, the temperature here in Nanjing is not high, but the daytime temperature is also seventeen or eight degrees, if those bodies under the city are not cleaned up, they will rot and stink in two days, then there is no need to defend the city, smoke can also smoke you to death.
However, these are not in Ma Cheng's charge, these are in charge of Ma Bao, the commander of Nancheng, Ma Cheng returned to his nest and let out a sigh of relief, just about to tell Gu Yong to remove his armor for himself. When he turned around, he realized that there was no one in the room except himself and the hapless woman.
Ma Cheng secretly scolded Gu Yong, probably this guy thought he was going to comb this woman, so he took his own soldiers to avoid suspicion. But when is it now, Ma Cheng has the heart to play these things.
Ma Cheng looked at the woman and said, "Come here, remove the armor of the master!" ”
The woman walked up to Ma Cheng slowly, and then whispered, "Slave. . . The slave family will not! ”
Ma Cheng secretly scolded the waste, and had no choice but to wipe the blood off his hands by himself, and then untie the hemp rope on his armor by himself. Today, Ma Cheng killed more than a dozen people, and his body and face were covered with blood, and now the blood has soaked through the hemp rope, and it is difficult to untie it. The woman also came to help when she saw this, and it took a long time for the two of them to take off their armor.
On this day, Ma Cheng fought for a day, and there was nothing nervous just now, but now that his spirit was relaxed and his body began to ache, Ma Cheng leaned on a shell box, took off the underwear soaked in blood, and then wiped the blood off his body with a wet towel. Three k
Ma Cheng knew that fighting in ancient times was a physical job, so he exercised his body very well this year, with chest muscles and abdominal muscles. The woman saw Ma Cheng take off his shirt to reveal his strong chest, and quickly blushed and lowered her head and didn't dare to look.
Ma Cheng didn't care about this, and asked while wiping the blood stains on his body, "Tell me why you want to see Bendu?" ”
The woman lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Ma Cheng's body, and said in a low voice: "After the slave family saw the general in Huaiqingqiao a few days ago, they were attracted by the general's temperament, and they came this time. . . Come this time. "It's really embarrassing to say this kind of thing, how can that woman say that she is also a young lady from a big family, she really can't say it. However, the woman also knew that there was only one chance, and she had admired Ma Cheng for a long time, and if she didn't take this opportunity to say it, she would probably have no chance in the future.
The woman gritted her teeth and said loudly: "The slave family is willing to be the general's concubine, please take it in by the general!" ”
This is the first time that Ma Cheng was openly shown love by a girl, regardless of his previous life, he didn't expect the girl in the Ming Dynasty to be so bold, Ma Cheng didn't react for a while and was stunned.
"Oh, does this Bendu have a wife, and he also has a few concubines, girl, your kindness Bendu understands, girl, you better go home!"
Of course, Ma Cheng is not kind enough to say this, Ma Cheng's heart is not good enough that the fat sent to his mouth can be returned intact, but Ma Cheng now has a lot of wives, and the eldest wife Gu Miaoyin is very small-minded, and it is okay for Gu Xiying, but it is not so good for the other two concubines Yun Niang and Zuo Shuying, and the monthly money can be pressed and pressed, which makes the second daughter cry in front of Ma Cheng many times.
But Ma Cheng didn't have a good way, the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was like this, everything in the family was in charge of the main lady, and Ma Cheng had no choice but to secretly give some silver. The family is already like this, and Ma Cheng doesn't dare to make Gu Miaoyin unhappy by getting a concubine home, so today he still rejected this woman in San.
The woman ran away from home, originally thought very well, came to find Ma Cheng, and then gave Ma Cheng a concubine, and then gave birth to children for Ma Cheng, and the two stayed and flew together. But I didn't expect that the development of things was completely different from what I thought, and I thought of this woman squatting on the ground and crying bitterly.
"Ma Cheng, the slave family ran away from home for you, and they don't want the name, but now you say so! Are you still human? Do you know how much the slave family has suffered for you? ”
The woman squatted on the ground and wept bitterly while telling her tragic experience, it turned out that the woman heard at home that her father was going to find her in-law's family, and she was unwilling, so she came out alone to find Ma Cheng, hoping that Ma Cheng could take her in. The woman originally thought that Ma Cheng was stationed on the city wall, and she could see it when she went. But there thought that Jubaomen was a battlefield, in order to prevent the destruction of spies in the city, three hundred meters away from the city wall had already become a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to approach without the words of the soldiers and horses in the city.
The woman came to the south city gate, because of the probe's shrinking look, it was easy to arouse the suspicion of the patrol soldiers, but fortunately, the woman spoke a Nanjing official dialect, or she was directly arrested as a spy.
But just like that, the woman didn't escape, although she was not arrested, but she was locked up with those people as a suspect. Although the woman was wearing men's clothes, she was beautiful after all, and in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to smear her face with the ashes at the bottom of the pot, which made her look like this.
Then it's simple, the Qing army came to attack the city, and the people went to the city to clean up the battlefield, the woman didn't expect to meet Ma Cheng at the head of the city, so she met Ma Cheng. originally thought that after meeting Ma Cheng, she would be able to stay and fly together, but she didn't expect Ma Cheng to accept her at all, thinking that she was busy and the fear of leaving home without permission, the woman could only cry loudly.
Ma Cheng saw the sadness of the woman's crying, and his compassion rose, and he sighed and said, "Okay, don't cry, this governor has taken you in!" ”
When the woman heard Ma Cheng say this, she quickly turned her sadness into joy, got up and saluted and said, "The slave's surname is Qian, and the girl's name is Yuhe!" "The name of a woman in the Ming Dynasty is not just a casual statement, only her parents and husband can know, and even the children do not know the mother's name.
Ma Cheng heard that people said all the names, what else could he do? It's not impossible to take a concubine, but I'm afraid that my eldest wife will be jealous. Ma Cheng frowned and thought for a while, Song Yingxing's outer house must not be able to go, it has already been targeted by Gu Miaoyin, and it seems that he can only take it with him first.
"Miss Qian, you know that Bendu has a wife in his family, and she wants to know about the concubine, so can you follow Bendu these days?"
Qian Yuhe nodded hurriedly when he heard Ma Cheng say this: "Since the slave family has followed the master, they are the master's people, and they all obey the master's orders!" ”
Ma Cheng sighed, looked at Qian Yuhe's covered body in mud and blood, his face was covered with black ash, stood up and went out to ask Gu Yong to find a clean dress for Qian Yuhe to change into.
However, what kind of women's clothes are there in the city now, Gu Yong searched for a long time and couldn't find them, so he had to take a military uniform and send it back.
When Qian Yuhe finished packing up and put on his military uniform, Ma Cheng secretly praised in his heart: He is really a handsome little soldier, and this kind of appearance is not bad if he accepts the house.
