Chapter 195: Shi Tingzhu escapes for his life

Someone immediately stepped forward to wash Gao Yuanjue's eyes and remove the blood, Gao Yuanjue felt that the space between heaven and earth was clear, but he saw that the people present were not only his own people, but also a middle-aged general, who was Cheng Jikong. To tell the truth, with the improvement of Zhang Xuan's status, Cheng Jikong's status is much higher than in the past, but he is no longer a general at the core level.

The reason is simple, competence is incompetent.

It's not that the patriarch can go to the end, and speaking of which, Cheng Jikong was not Zhang Xuan's cronies in the first place, so naturally he couldn't spare no effort to support Deng He.

However, how to say it, Cheng Jikong is also a veteran, since Zhang Xuan went north, there have been several wars, almost without service, although he has not made any great contributions, but there is a lot of hard work. Now that he is also knighted, Cheng Jikong is already very satisfied.

This time to attack Nanjing City, Cheng Jikong joined in and saved Gao Yuanjue's life with a bow and arrow at a critical moment.

After Gao Yuanjue knew all this, he immediately saluted Cheng Jikong and said, "Thank you, General Cheng." ”

Cheng Jikong said: "Guogong should take a good rest, I have already sent someone to report the good news to Your Majesty, presumably after dawn, Your Majesty will definitely summon Guogong." ”

Gao Yuanjue knew in his heart that Li Chengdong had already fallen into his hands for the majority of the credit, and he should accept it when he saw it, otherwise he would be disgusted, and all the credit could not be his. Gao Yuanjue immediately said: "The juniors understand. ”

Cheng Jikong led the people of the headquarters to cross Gao Yuanjue's headquarters and go north, this Li Chengdong's death, Cheng Jikong inevitably did not have a trace of fire in his heart, and even hated himself for being cheap, why shoot that arrow, without that arrow, this Li Chengdong's head is estimated to be himself.

But this is something that must never be spoken.

Gao Yuanjue arranged the rest below, personally cut off Li Chengdong's head, wrapped it in a package, and waited to be dedicated to Zhang Xuan. Then he looked up and looked around.

Although it was not true in the dark, Gao Yuanjue was too familiar with Nanjing City, and secretly said in his heart: "Isn't this the alley by the Qinhuai River?" "I walked two steps, passed through two houses, and I heard the sound of flowing water, and after walking almost, I saw the Qinhuai River.

Today's Qinhuai River is by no means as bright as it was at the beginning, but it is pitch black, just like other rivers in the Central Plains, and there seems to be nothing special.

But when Gao Yuanjue was in Nanjing City, the days of living in Qinhuai River were almost longer than the days of living at home, and he was very familiar with this place. Almost more familiar than the Huai Wangfu. Seeing the silent appearance now, thinking of those young ladies at the beginning, Gao Yuanjue hated it in his heart. Secretly said: "Tartar, our business is not over. ”

Gao Yuanjue is used to it

is romantic, and as soon as the hatred in my heart is gone, my merry mind will also be overflowing. I don't know what Gao Yuanjue's future achievements will be, but he is already a first-class champion of the flower country.

Li Chengdong died, but it would take some time for the Qing army to get the news.

However, Shi Tingzhu did not have the slightest appearance of waiting for Li Chengdong's news.

In today's battle, Li Chengdong was in the south of the city, and Shi Tingzhu was in the north of the city to resist various sailors.

I have to say that the fire, the sailors drawn from the ship, fought on land in a daze, and it could not be used at all. The soldiers who could fight in Zhou Fuchen's hands fought in Xiaogushan and suffered heavy casualties, not to mention Zheng Chenggong. They were not suitable for land warfare, and the battle of Nanjing that day wiped out all the Zheng family's heritage on land.

Therefore, they can only bluff, and it is okay to contain the strength of the Qing army, and it is really impossible to expect them to break the city.

Shi Tingzhu knew that after the Xia army broke the city, he had been thinking about how to escape from Nanjing City. However, he also knew that it must be done at night, and he could not carry too many men and horses, so Shi Tingzhu insisted on fighting until the night, with Shi Tingzhu in the northern part of Nanjing, which has always been the stubborn sphere of influence of the Qing army, even at night, it is still fighting.

And Daniel Zhang is even more eyeing here.

Hesitating and not having good contact at night, coupled with the complex terrain in Nanjing City, after all, it is not in the wilderness, Zhang Xuan can't manage it if he wants to, and he gives the order to fight on his own. Daniel Zhang was eyeing hard bones at the beginning.

I have to say that Wang Long's eyesight is still good, this Daniel Zhang is a general.

In hand-to-hand combat, whether it is a cavalry battle or an infantry battle, they are all first-class brave generals. Among the Xia army, I dare not say that I am one of the best, but it is also rare. Such manpower can not be found in the Xia army, and under Zhang Xuan's training, most of the middle and lower-level generals are qualified.

Dare to fight and rush, even if it is not comparable to Daniel Zhang, but it is enough.

However, what Daniel Zhang really valued by Zhang Xuan was his ability to deploy troops.

In the siege battle, brave force is important, but the command is also very important, it seems that Zhang Xuan is slamming Nanjing City to the ground, but there are many ways to do it, when to fire, when to advance slowly, when to charge, when to retreat, as long as the command is good, it can pose a threat to Nanjing City.

Otherwise, even if it is filled with human life, it is nothing more than that.

Daniel Zhang did quite well.

Generals who dare to work hard and can work hard, Zhang Xuan likes it, but he just likes it, only this kind of general is what Zhang Xuan values the most. Today, Daniel Zhang has won consecutive battles, Zhang Xuan has also been repeatedly rewarded, and Daniel Zhang wants to show a big face in the big war.

Although Zhang Xuan said that killing Li Chengdong was the first achievement, in Daniel Zhang's view, sweeping away the Qing army was there

The last resistance force in Nanjing City is the first task, as for Li Chengdong, after the Qing army has taken it, there is no need to worry about the people who can be captured by a few armor soldiers.

So his initial target was the Qing army that was still resisting in the north of the city.

Under a fierce battle, the strength of the Qing army was pulled up by Daniel Zhang one after another. It's just that I never expected that just when Li Chengdong was just given the head, the Qing army collapsed. Zhang Xuan directly seized the northern city wall of Nanjing, invited the Qing army to take the old nest, and even more than 10,000 Qing troops surrendered.

This sudden collapse made Daniel Zhang scratch his head. After inquiring about the captives, I found out that Shi Tingzhu, the chief general of the Qing army, had already run one step ahead.

Daniel Zhang was a little unhappy for a while, especially when he knew that Li Chengdong's head had been taken by Gao Yuanjue, and he was even more uncomfortable. It's just that the overall situation has been decided, so I can only sigh and say: "Send the order to go down and search Beicheng, and we must dig up the traces of this person." ”

"Yes." The soldiers under Daniel Zhang said loudly.

Most of Daniel Zhang's subordinates are the remnants of Wang Longjun, originally after Wang Long's death, they inevitably had some military hearts, and seeing that Daniel Zhang was so powerful, they all regarded Daniel Zhang as the backbone. Daniel Zhang's orders have never been discounted.

Immediately go down and search. However, Daniel Zhang felt that no matter how carefully they searched, they might not be able to find any trace of Shi Tingzhu. Because he felt that Shi Tingzhu was probably no longer in Nanjing.

Daniel Zhang's instincts were right.

Today's Shi Tingzhu is really not in the city.

Shi Tingzhu only took a few people with him, and fell from the northeast of the Nanjing city wall from the rope.

Shi Tingzhu looked back at Nanjing City lurking in the darkness, sighed and said: "I'm sorry for the prince, this Nanjing Jiancheng only lasted a few days, and the Southern Dynasty was able to get it." ”

Shi Tingzhu's guards around him said: "Master, this is none of the master's business, it's all that Li Chengdong, there is more than enough success and more failure, and a good errand has been done like this." If the game is presided over by the master, it will definitely not be like this. ”

As soon as these words came out, these guards nodded one after another.

Shi Tingzhu sighed slightly in his heart, but did not speak.

These guards are all old people in Liaodong, and they can be entrusted with life and death, but they still don't understand Shi Tingzhu's worries, Nanjing City has only been guarded for a few days, and there are many reasons for this. Although Li Chengdong had an unfavorable command and was caught by the Xia army, and the Xia army entered the city from the secret passage, which was unexpected, but the rapid offensive of the Xia army also made Shi Tingzhu tremble.

He asked himself, even if he was too in charge of the Nanjing War, how long could Xia Jun defend even if he didn't find the secret passage? Xia Jun's combat effectiveness already made him feel terrified. He was not worried about the defeat of Nanjing, he was worried about the future situation of the Qing court.
