Yuhua platform.

Faced with the battle situation that collapsed in an instant, everyone was silent.

After almost half a year of preparation, countless silver was invested, and most of the forces in the south of the Yangtze River were mobilized to arm this army, which was confident that it could fight even in the face of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but in the end it was actually making wedding clothes for others.

Is this their army?

This Tamar is their own gravedigger.

At this moment, they are really like bald guys who have boarded the Sino-American Horn, looking at the world they have lost, all their inputs, and in the end, they have all cheapened the enemy, and the hot air balloon that is still fluttering in the sky is like Yang Xin's smiling face, laughing at their stupidity, their incompetence, and the tsunami-like shouting and killing sound around them is like the accompaniment of Yang Xin's wild laughter.

Zhang Mingzhen took a deep breath......

"The matter has come to this point, and the only way to fight to the death is to fight!"

He said with a resolute expression.

"It's better to withdraw to Taiping Mansion first."

Xiong Mingyu said tentatively.

"It's useless to withdraw, the Taiping Mansion will open the door to the Yang thief."

Shang Zhouzuo said gloomily.

This is absolute, during this period of time, they mainly requisitioned people from Taiping Mansion, Ningguo Mansion and other places, and they have long caused public resentment to boil in this area, and even now there are many fugitive people on Niushou Mountain, they follow a group of people who don't know where they came from, led by the self-proclaimed sentry commander of the Dangkou army, where they attacked the local gentry from time to time to loot money and grain.

Do you still want to run to Taiping Mansion to hold on?

Yang Xin went to the city to shout, and it was estimated that the Diao people in Taiping Mansion would rebel.

"Yes, we still have a chance, Shen Tingyang still has tens of thousands of elites in their hands, we haven't lost yet, Hou Fu will stay here for the time being, I will return to Suzhou immediately to gather all the troops, since it has reached this point, simply fight to the death with them!"

Qian Qianyi said as if grasping a life-saving straw.

The key, of course, is to leave first.

Don't care what happens in the future, first of all, he can't fall into Yang Xin's hands, he has been on Yang Xin's blacklist for a long time, if he is caught by Yang Xin, not to mention a thousand cuts, he will have to dig up guano for a lifetime, obviously this is worse than death for a delicate person like him.

But they do have a chance.

After all, Shen Tingyang still has 60,000 troops on his side, and Xu Du is also there, there are also Huwei troops in this area, as well as the Xinchang Victory Army, and the Lu family brothers, they can still raise 100,000 combatable soldiers in a short period of time, not to mention that there are countless gentry behind them. Now the key is to buy time, after all, this defeat is too sudden, as long as Zhang Mingzhen can temporarily drag Yang Xin here, they can quickly return to Suzhou to reorganize the defense, and as long as they can drag Sun Chengzong's army south, they can also be saved.

As for the one just now, he regarded Sun Chengzong as the next enemy......

At this time, how can you still have that mind.

At most, Sun Chengzong did not allow them to be autonomous, but Yang Xin wanted to divide the land.

Now I can only use the promise to go back to the past, in exchange for Sun Chengzong's protection, as for Datong or something, let it go, don't talk about autonomy or something, they have failed, and the loser has to admit defeat, the left and right sides have not torn their faces so far, it is just a toe in defeat, admit defeat to Sun Chengzong and don't have to worry about Sun Chengzong's division of land, they and Sun Chengzong belong to the internal contradiction of the gentry, but with Yang Xin, this belongs to the contradiction between the enemy and me.

This is different in nature.

In other words, Shang Zhouzuo is still the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department!

Sun Chengzong will not kill them all, they are all old friends, they still know Sun Chengzong, and Lao Sun also needs them to deal with Yang Xin, after all, Yang Xin is the true enemy of the gentry.

As for Zhang Mingzhen......

He is already an outcast, and the only value now is to stand the last shift for the gentry, lead his men here, shed the last drop of blood for Datongguo, and buy time for the gentry to reorganize their resistance, this fool has wasted so much money on the gentry, and he has to be rewarded, and now is the time for him to be loyal.

"Second brother, immediately escort the third prince to break through!"

Zhang Mingyang said resolutely.

His younger brother Zhang Mingyang immediately made a petition.

Before Zhang Mingzhen fled south, he sent someone south to inform his family that his younger brother fled from Nanjing with his whole family, and later rushed to Huihe when he heard the news, and now he is also an important general of the Datong Army, and he has been following him until his death in history. Shang Zhouzuo and the three of them didn't talk nonsense, and quickly got on their horses and led their guards straight to the road behind, while Zhang Mingyang personally led an elite cavalry battalion to protect, and the soldiers who moved through the chaos quickly rushed out of the gate and rushed into the chaotic battlefield outside.

"Brothers, hold on and stand by!"

Zhang Mingzhen looked at their backs, turned his head and took a deep breath and shouted.

He wasn't without the power to fight.

The rain flower platform at his feet is a real fortress.

In addition to the heavy artillery fort in the front, there are two artillery positions connected by trenches along the mountain below, the second is eighteen pounds of heavy guns, and the bottom of the mountain is nine pounds of guns, and in order to resist the artillery fire on the city wall, each of them has a berm outside, the top is a heavy artillery fort, and the back is a circle of rammed earth city walls......

The main thing is to prevent the people from escaping.

Garrisoned here are also the most loyal troops in the Datong Army.

In fact, there is a total of one army, equivalent to his Chinese Guards, plus the artillery at all levels, the actual total strength of Yuhuatai is 15,000, most of this guards have followed him and Xu Du since the beginning of the army, among which the officers have basically participated in the ambush of Yang Huan, which can be called the core force of the entire Datong army. Such an army will not be used for the attrition of the siege, that is, as the strongest force of the Chinese army, it is used to suppress the entire battlefield, in the final analysis, Zhang Mingzhen himself is not very confident in the Datong army, and the new tactics cannot change the fact that this army is still mixed food.

He was also afraid that the soldiers would defect.

The most terrifying thing about Yang Xin is not the terrifying combat power, but the kind of demagogic witchcraft.

The gentry were not afraid of fighting him, but they were afraid that when the fight started, their subordinates would defect, Yang Xin had been invincible all these years, and the vast majority of them were not that the gentry could not beat him, but that their subordinates would defect as soon as they fought.

Fortunately, this Guards is still trustworthy.

Moreover, this elite army not only has 10,000 catties of huge cannons in its hands, but also hundreds of heavy artillery, and has hoarded countless ammunition, and there will be no shortage of food and drink in a short period of time, and it can be held on for a certain period of time.

Or rather, stubborn resistance.

And then......

No then.

The battle was like this, and Zhang Mingzhen had no shame to see Jiangdong's father.

Let his younger brother escort Shang Zhou Zuo and others away, just to let him escape, and he is ready to lead this army to fight here to the end, which is worthy of the Jiangnan gentry.

"Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat!"

Looking at the front subordinates surging in front of him, he sighed heroically.

At this time, his guards had already begun to fire at these defective soldiers, and even the muzzles of the 10,000-pound cannons in the fort under their feet began to press down, but they were useless, because these cannons were not designed to shoot at the foot of Yuhuatai, and even their gun emplacements were fixed on the base of reinforced concrete and cast iron. However, the eighteen-pound cannons on the second heavy artillery position had an obvious effect, and the shells that whistled and fell among the defected soldiers continued to bring up pieces of flesh and blood.

And beside him were the light field guns, which were also constantly firing downward under the protection of the women's wall.

But it is also suffering from shells......

From the cannonballs on the city wall, in the bunker stacked with sandbags on the treasure gate, those eighteen-pound heavy cannons kept shooting the cannonballs to this side, even if the distance was not powerful, but relying on the weight was still enough to destroy the female wall in front of him. But the most ruthless is the mortar shells, these mortars are hidden behind the city wall of Nanjing, relying on the high-throw trajectory can also easily hit the Yuhuatai, and even because of the fuse setting problem, many shells exploded directly above their heads.

The battle between the two sides quickly became fierce.

However, relying on the numerical superiority, coupled with the defection of some artillery, the defective Datong army still quickly submerged the bottom nine-pound artillery position, and after a short cold weapon battle, after solving the few resisting soldiers, quickly turned the muzzle on the sunken gun emplacements connected by those trenches, and bombarded the fortress overhead, and even some heroically directly charged upward, but then was knocked down by the dense fire from above.

But this is not their main attacking direction.

The heavy artillery on Yuhuatai is all in the front, not on the sides and in the rear, and it is impossible to turn to attack in other directions, the defective soldiers who are familiar with all this, of course, will not be stupid enough to attack the strong fortress in the front, and the vast majority of the soldiers are directly divided to both sides, ready to attack from both sides or even the rear.

Especially the rear.

There is the back gate of the entire Yuhuatai fortress complex, and a large road leads directly to Lishui from there.

However, the march of these soldiers was not smooth, because there were some generals of the Datong Army who were unwilling to lose, and they were fighting with those defective soldiers with their cronies.

The main thing, of course, is to escape.

The entire Yuhuatai area has actually been chaotic, after all, this is also a 100,000 army, and all this happened too fast, and even some Datong soldiers didn't know what was going on, and there were many people who didn't want to defect or fight. The most loyal Datong army on Yuhuatai held their positions to block the attack of the defective soldiers, and in the chaos on the periphery, those Datong army generals who tried to save the defeat fought with a small number of cronies and their original subordinates, and some were simply fleeing.

It can be said that this winter wilderness outside Nanjing is full of fighting, and there is gunsmoke everywhere.

Yuhuatai is like an island in the turbulent waves, floating in the smoke of gunpowder, shaking in the shouting of killing, real shaking, every firing of those 10,000-pound cannons can make this small hill tremble slightly, not to mention the flowering bombs that keep falling.

"Pro-Barracks, follow me!"

Looking at the defective soldiers who were separating from both sides, Zhang Mingzhen raised his knife and roared, but the next second he saw a hot air balloon slowly floating in the sky......
