Under the escort of one hundred and ten family members, Zheng Zhibao beat Ma Rufei and fled towards Nanjing City, well, maybe he can't use the word Ma Rufei, because in front of him are also fleeing routs, and the speed of the war horse can't run fast at all.

The rout of more than 10,000 people is still extremely spectacular, and Zheng Zhibao, who is riding on a horse, is like a lonely boat in the ocean, and can only drift along the big waves.

Five or six family members rode horses around Zheng Zhibao's left and right rear, using their bodies to cover Zheng Zhibao's projectile cold arrows that might be fired. Fortunately, the rebels chased and killed for a while and then stopped chasing, and there were not too many cold arrows and projectiles.

But although the rebels stopped the pursuit, the rout could not be reversed, and the tens of thousands of troops were all defeated, and no matter how powerful the general was, he could not regroup them in a short time. At this time, Zheng Zhibao had no heart to fight, and his confidence in victory was sparsely damaged in the face of the rebels' powerful artillery fire, and now he was only full of fear, and he had no energy to try to gather the army, and now was not the time to gather and assemble.

The rebels are now attacking Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren's army, since they are easily defeated, Zheng Zhibao believes that Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren will not be able to withstand much time, and the most important thing to do now is to flee into the city with the rout, relying on the strong city wall to keep the rebels out, so as to get a chance to breathe, and then slowly gather the army.

Just like the night birds returning to the forest and the sheep returning to the circle, there is no need for Zheng Zhibao's command, and the defeated soldiers fled towards the city gate of Nanjing, and everyone knew that the safest place now was in the city.

The nearest is the Jiangdong Gate, but the city gate through which they passed not long ago is now tightly closed, allowing the rout to beat desperately but no one responds. The desperate routs scolded, pleaded, and cried, but the defenders of the city remained unmoved.

"Let's go, let's go, the five generals are here!" An officer shouted, and the soldiers in a mess reluctantly got out of the way, and watched Zheng Zhibao ride through and come to the city gate with a complicated expression.

"What's going on?" Looking at the closed city gate, Zheng Zhibao asked in a deep voice.

"What else can it be, the defenders of the dog day are dead, and they can't bark at all." Someone shouted.

"Fifth general, you quickly talk to the rebellious general at the head of the city, and let him order the city gate to be opened, so that we can enter quickly." There were also soldiers praying, although Zheng Zhibao had just led them to defeat the battle, they could only put their hopes on him at this time.

Zheng Zhibao nodded, rode his horse back two steps, raised his face and shouted at the city, "Zheng Zhibao, the deputy general of the Fujian Army, is here, can the rebellious general Changhou Ye be in the city?" ”

However, he shouted several times, but the city did not respond.

In the Jiangdong Gate Tower, the rebellious general Huaiyuan Marquis Chang Yanling looked at Zuo Maodi coldly, "Zuo Shilang, what do you mean?" ”

The battle was only an hour, and the guest army had been defeated, and Chang Yanling was angry and could only order the city gate to be opened and the defeated soldiers enter the city, after all, they had to be counted on to defend the city, but who knew that his order was stopped by Zuo Maodi, the soldier on the side.

"These armies have been defeated, there is almost no military discipline to speak of, and letting them into the city will inevitably harass the people of the city, do you really think it is good?" Zuo Maodi laughed.

The smile on Zuo Maodi's face angered Chang Yanling even more, "Ben Hou is a rebellious general, Ben Hou will bear all the consequences, you don't need to worry about Zuo Shilang!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to let the general go and give the order to open the city gate.

Zuo Maodi's smile turned cold, he reached out and took out a copy of the cabinet's edict from his arms, raised Yang and said to Chang Yanling, "Xiaguan has a handwritten warrant from the Governor, ordering me to take full authority to handle all matters in the outer city, Chang Houye, I'm sorry, now your command is temporarily in charge of Xiaguan!" ”

One was the rebel general who had full command of the front-line battle, and the other was the soldier who claimed to have taken over the command of the front line by the warrant of the superintendent, and the two had a dispute, and the officers and soldiers at the head of the city were at a loss and did not know whether to listen to Chang Yanling's orders.

Chang Yanling was stunned, snatched the warrant from Zuo Maodi's hand, looked at it carefully, showed a shocked look on his face, and looked at Zuo Maodi, "Why?" ”

"There's no time to explain now, you just need to follow the orders of the superintendent, none of these guest troops are allowed to enter Nanjing!" Zuo Maodi said coldly.

"Without these guest troops, how can we hold the city of Nanjing? Is it just Zhu Guobi's weak Beijing battalion soldiers? Chang Yanling said angrily, and ordered at the generals around him, "You personally take people to open the city gate, who dares to stop the killing!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" The family general agreed, drew his sword and went down the city, dozens of family members of the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion followed closely behind him.

Facing the menacing Huaiyuan Hou Jiading, Zuo Maodi just sneered and let them pass by.

"When the situation stabilizes, I will explain it to the old man Yuanfu." Chang Yanling said to Zuo Maodi, saying that he was going to go down the road to the city, but the next moment he was stunned, and saw a team of captains in brocade clothes suddenly appear under the city, everyone holding crossbows and bows aimed at the head of the city, and dozens of his family members were blocked on the road and couldn't move.

"Jin Yiwei!" Chang Yanling Huo Ran turned to look at Zuo Maodi, "You dare to collude with the rebellious Chen Yue!" "Jin Yiwei is Chen Yue's person, but he suddenly appeared here and what it means, Chang Yanling naturally knows it.

"Qi Guogong is not a rebel, there are other people who are really rebellious," Zuo Maodi said lightly, "On the orders of Lord Yuanfu, the Zheng family army that participated in the rebellion will be annihilated, Huaiyuanhou, do you listen to Yuanfu's orders?" ”

"Yuan Fu, Qi Guogong!" Chang Yanling muttered, Chang Yanling knows Shi Kefa's character, although Shi Kefa is a bit pedantic, but if he wants to say that he will commit treason, no one in the world believes it. But since Shi Kefa and Chen Yue colluded together, he knew that there must be a lot of things in it, but it was a pity that he didn't know anything.

"There are too many things in this, the complexity can not be explained in a few words, if you are willing to trust Yuanfu, you will follow his arrangement. The Zheng family is rebellious, Wang Zhiren and Fang Guoan are also deeply involved, Yuan Fu is dealing with the traitors in the court, what we have to do now is very simple, seal the city gate and not let the rout soldiers enter the city, and then naturally there will be Qi Guogong to destroy them! ”

Chang Yanling nodded with a wooden face, walked into the city tower alone, and never came out again. Since he is not trusted and cannot control the situation, Chang Yanling is now powerless.

"Lord Zuo, that Zheng Zhibao is still calling the city!" A guard said.

A weird smile appeared on Zuo Maodi's face, "Put down a hanging basket and tell him that he is only allowed to enter the city alone!" ”()
