Qin He's face was cloudy, staring at Hou Xuanyan as if he were the substance, if his vision could kill, Hou Xuanyan would already have thousands of holes in his body.

Hou Xuanyan put his hands behind his back and secretly wiped the sweat from his palms on the clothes on his back. With a relaxed look on his face sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, he asked gracefully, "Do you still need to think about this for a long time?" ”

After speaking, he shook the longevity lock in his hand, this shaking completely shattered Qin He's heart defense, family is his bottom line, in order to protect his family, he decided to listen to the threat of the person in front of him.

Qin He pulled out his waist knife, Xu Yuanbao and Hong Yixun's faces changed greatly, and they protected Hou Xuanyan's side.

"I'll open the gates!"

"Well, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic. Today, we are waiting for the recovery of the Ming River and Mountain, and you are the first achievement. ”

Qin He glared at him hatefully, no one likes their family to be threatened, Hou Xuanyan didn't care, and kicked open the wooden door on the city tower.

The soldiers defending the city had already gathered together, listened to the general command of the Qin general, and went to the city to quell the chaos.

Qin He walked out of the city tower and shouted to his subordinates on the city wall: "Brothers, the treasure of the earth country is lonely and poor, and it is not far from death. Open the gates of the city quickly to have a chance to live. ”

His men were still waiting for him to give the order to come to the governor's aid, and they were all stunned when they heard this.

The little soldier sent by Tu Guobao to give the order was furious, and stepped forward and scolded: "Qin He, you want to rebel? ”

Hou Xuan took a look, and it seemed that not all of Qin's subordinates were his henchmen. It's time to come out and help, he pushed aside the two people in front of him, came out and said loudly: "Tu Guobao is dead, and now there are 80,000 troops from Shaoxing outside the city, and they are preparing to go." Everyone followed General Qin, and it was a great achievement to open the city gate and let the Ming army in. If we resist stubbornly, when the city is broken, none of us will survive! ”

The herald is the henchman of the national treasure of the earth, and when he wants to tear his eyes, he will cut people with a knife. Qin He gritted his teeth, pushed the waist knife in his hand forward, and poked the little soldier who was rushing towards Hou Xuanyan to the core.

The little soldier, who was originally hesitant, immediately panicked when he saw that Qin General had already killed someone. And they listened to Hou Xuanyan's words and decided that the governor had died in battle, so what else was there to fight. There was one who had a good relationship with Qin He, looked around, came out and said, "Brothers, open the city gate and ask for a way to live." We are Han Chinese, so why bother to work hard for the Qing soldiers. ”

The west gate slowly opened, and Hou Xuanyan was relieved and took out a fire fold from his arms. Light the signal fireworks in Xu Yuanbao's hand and watch it explode in the air.

Hou Xuanyan slowly closed his eyes, listening to the Ming army pouring out of Taihu Lake, shouting and slaughtering into Suzhou City.

Qin He knew at this time that there was no arrow to turn back when he opened the bow, so he swung his knife to cut off his braid and followed Hou Xuanyan closely.

Before the night was dark, Suzhou City was already full of chaos, and there were roaring and fighting sounds everywhere. The Qing soldiers were originally fighting fiercely with the families and nurses who were in turmoil with the wealthy families, and the sudden influx of a new force completely changed the balance. The gentry were very excited when they saw the familiar armor of the Ming army. Just as the Northern Expedition of the Wang Division had entered Suzhou, he hurriedly ordered his men and horses to rush out of the high gate and fight with the Qing soldiers of Tu Guobao in the intricate lanes of Suzhou.

The battle situation has reached this point, even if Sun Wu is reborn, Wu Qi's reincarnation will not be able to control the situation. Tu Guobao was disgraced, spit a mouthful of spit, and stomped his feet: "Fight out of the south gate, go to join Wu Shengzhao, and then recapture Suzhou." ”

Tu Guobao pulled up the handsome flag and guided his stragglers in the dark night to get closer to him. Many Qing soldiers gathered over and escorted him to the south gate.

The Qing soldiers of Wujiang County, under the leadership of Wu Shengzhao, the commander of Wusong, were chasing Wu Yi's soldiers and horses.

Wu Yi, as the party of the feint, changed his tough style in the past, and ran away when he saw someone.

Wu Shengzhao only thought that he was at the end of the strong crossbow, and was very excited, thinking that the credit was within reach.

Now when I saw the fire in Suzhou City, I knew that I had been fooled, and I commanded the soldiers and horses to return to Suzhou in frustration.

Wu Yi, who had been running away, was stuck like a dog skin plaster at this time. Chasing after the Qing soldiers' buttocks, there was a mess of beatings. The Qing soldiers suffered serious casualties, but Wu Shengzhao did not dare to let Suzhou go, so he had to sacrifice part of the rear army to save the national treasure. Wu Yi took the opportunity to cover up and take away the weight of the weapon.

Downstairs in Xicheng, Xia Wanchun and his son followed the army, rushed into Suzhou, and saw Hou Xuanyan on the city tower.

Neither of them was a military general who rushed into battle and fell into the enemy, and they helped each other to climb the city tower, full of spirit and looking around.

"Brother Hou (Xuanyan), good job."

"It's just a blessing not to be dishonored."

Xia Yunyi's old face had become red due to congestion, and his hands holding the city tower trembled. He bent down deeply and bowed to Hou Xuanyan.

"Uncle, what is this doing, tormenting the little nephew." Hou Xuanyan hurriedly helped him up.

"I am for the people of the Ming Dynasty, the country and the society, and it has nothing to do with our identity."

The more Xia Yunyi thought about it, the more excited he became, and said with a smile: "Defeat Suzhou tonight, why worry about the failure of the Northern Expedition in the future, drive out the Tartars, and restore my Ming Dynasty." ”

Before the laughter fell, the father and the two suddenly hugged their heads and cried. The crying was broken and the howling was not stopped, this pure heart for the country's society, even Hou Xuanyan couldn't help but be moved.

But the expulsion of the Tartars? Easier said than done. Hou Xuanyan sneered in his heart, in the end, it was a scholar's opinion...

If it weren't for Dolgon's short-sightedness and lack of courage, he would have transferred the Manchu Eight Banners back to the north. and forcibly implemented the shaving order, which made people angry and resentful in Jiangnan. With their 10,000 remnants, it is difficult to conquer Suzhou.

The father and son of the Xia family didn't know what he thought, the Ming Dynasty had lost for too long, and the news of defeat and surrender was not uncommon, and the good news had not been heard for a long time.

The significance of taking Suzhou is by no means as simple as winning a battle, it is a painkiller for the Ming gentry who are in despair.

The shouting and killing in the city gradually became smaller, especially after the soil national treasure was killed out of the south gate, and it basically died down.

Hou Xuanyan took off the shabby clothes on his body, revealed the Daming armor inside, and walked downstairs with Xu Yuanbao and Hong Yixun.

"Young Master Hou, where are we going?"

"Gu family! The fat has been stewed, and it's time to snatch the knife from the meat cutter. ”

Xu Yuanbao's face was overjoyed, and he touched his stomach and said, "That's right, I'm hungry." ”
