More than a dozen trestle bridges made of countless wooden piles and thick planks stretch more than 100 steps into the river.

On both sides of the trestle, nearly two hundred warships were moored densely, which was all the ships owned by Li Guoying's department.

Under Li Guoying's order, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Green Battalion were loaded with guns and ammunition, all of them were on alert, and the entire camp was heavily guarded.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners stepped on the trestle in silence and walked along the board of the warship. The horsemen desperately pulled their horses to the trembling planks.

With more than 20,000 soldiers and nearly 10,000 war horses, it is almost impossible to cross the Yangtze River at one time. Azig left Tan Tai with 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers, and at the same time was responsible for commanding 200,000 Green Battalion soldiers.

Although many of the generals of the Green Battalion and the Qing Dynasty had already left Germany, there were also some people who were willing to obey the dispatch. If the Ming army attacked when the Eight Banners crossed the river, Tan Tai would take the Eight Banners to urge the Green Battalion to counterattack.

It takes at most an hour to go back and forth from here to the other side of the river, and as long as the Ming army does not attack within an hour, and the green battalion soldiers do not have civil strife, the fleet can return to pick up Tan Tai's headquarters, and then all the Eight Banners soldiers will reach the opposite bank safely.

The Ming army in Wuhu was more than ten miles away from here, and it was definitely not enough time for the Ming army to assemble and then rush to attack after receiving the news. So this withdrawal is very safe.

"The prince will take a step first, and the last general will definitely cooperate with General Tan Tai to guard the back road, and then accompany General Tan Tai across the river." Li Guoying sent Azig to the trestle and said respectfully.

Azig looked at Li Guoying with a smile, "If the Ming army suddenly attacks, it will be very dangerous to stay, and it may not be possible to cross the river safely." Mr. Li, you are loyal to me, how can this king bear to let you stay here and take risks, or cross the river with me. ”

"Ahh Li Guoying was stunned for a moment, and his face quickly showed a look of surprise, and he choked up: "Lord Wang, your love for Guoying really makes Guoying grateful, but there are more than 40,000 soldiers in this camp, if your subordinates follow you away, I'm afraid something will be wrong." ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, with Tan Tai in command, you can rest assured." Azig waved his hand, "Tan Tai has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, you don't need to doubt his ability." ”

From the perspective of controlling the more than 40,000 green battalions, Azig did not allow Li Guoying to escape from his control. Once he arrived in Jiangbei with the main force of the Eight Banners, he might not be able to suppress this Li Guoying with the thousands of Eight Banners that Tan Tai brought alone. Although Li Guoying has always shown loyalty, in this time of life and death, Azig does not allow any accidents to happen. With Li Guoying in hand, these more than 40,000 green battalions will not dare to move.

"Please allow your subordinates to explain, and you will get on the boat with the prince." Li Guoying could only say helplessly.

Azig nodded, "It's natural, you can go." ”

Li Guoying did not go far, and asked people to find the deputy general, who is also his cousin Li Guoxiong.

"Big brother!" Li Guoxiong shouted, looking quite nervous.

Li Guoying stepped forward and gently stroked his collar, and said in an inaudible voice: "Don't be nervous, everything is according to plan." ”

"You obey General Tan Tai's orders, and our brothers will see you in Jiangbei!" Li Guoying ordered in a deep voice, then turned around and walked towards the trestle.

The 15,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners and thousands of horses all boarded nearly 200 warships, making each ship a little crowded, but the river was not turbulent, and the distance from Shuiying to the other side was only a few miles, and it was a long time to endure.

After taking a deep look at the direction of Wuhu for the last time, Azig waved his hand, and all the warships pulled anchor at the same time and set sail, their sails pulled high, and sailed towards the opposite shore with a slight southeast wind.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the mighty river under his feet, Azig was silent. This time, Vaming actually fell into the current situation, which made Azig extremely depressed. The powerful and invincible Eight Banners soldiers were actually defeated in the south and sunk in the sand, and they were beaten like this by the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which made Azig really unacceptable in his heart.

But what if you don't accept it?

Li Guoying stood quietly to the side, and the afterglow of his eyes swept around.

It's time to come, the time should be up!

If you can succeed this time and escape safely, you will be prosperous in the second half of your life, and you will have no worries about your life, and your children and grandchildren will be prosperous and prosperous.

If it wasn't long ago, Li Guoying still believed that the Ming Dynasty had exhausted the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was irreversible. But with the destruction of the 100,000 army of Duoduo in the flood, with the defeat of the Green Camp Navy in front of the Ming Army. Li Guoying's idea disappeared, Fang Mingxia was right, although the Manchu Tartars were strong, but the population was too small and they were not familiar with water warfare, the Ming Dynasty could at least stand side by side with it in the north and south.

Since the Ming Dynasty can survive, Li Guoying thinks that there is no need to be a dog for Mantar, so he listened to Fang Mingxia's persuasion and decided to make meritorious contributions.

The time should be up, right? At this moment, the fleet was about to approach Jiangxin, Li Guoying's eyes swept to the entire fleet again, and then he saw that the hull of a warship not far from his side was tilting, and the soldiers on board were in chaos.

"What's going on?" Azig also noticed this situation, raised his hand to take the clairlife mirror handed by Goshha, and looked into the river, and saw that the Eight Banners on a warship half a mile away were shouting in panic, and the hull of the ship was capsizing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ship is capsizing! Azig watched in shock at the situation, and those four words flashed through his mind.

But why did the ship capsize?

"Li Guoying, what the hell is going on?" Azig glared at Li Guoying angrily and asked angrily. A couple of Goshkha pulled out their waist knives and forced them over.

"I don't know, is it because the ship is loaded with too many people and horses, and it sinks?" Li Guoying said in a panic, "I'll ask them." ”

Saying that, Li Guoying ran to the bow of the boat, snatched the flag from the green camp flag bearer, and danced desperately. In the navy, in order to command from the front, there is naturally a complete set of banners to transmit orders.

Azig looked at Li Guoying's back gloomily and did not speak, because even he could not guess the reason for the shipwreck, because he had already sent someone to inspect the entire ship before boarding the ship.

At this moment, Azig felt a pause on the board of the ship under his feet, and the Eight Banners soldiers in the lower cabin screamed in horror.

This is the moment! Taking advantage of the turmoil on the boat, Li Guoying exerted force under his feet, and the whole person flew up like a harrier, turned over the side of the boat, and jumped into the river.

Azig was shocked, and when he took the boat gang to look into the river, he saw ripples on the river, where was Li Guoying's figure.

"Li Guoying!" Three words burst out between Azig's teeth, he didn't understand that someone was making trouble all this.

Leaning down to look at the lower cabin, he saw that a large amount of river water was swarming along a huge gap in the side of the ship, and the Eight Banners soldiers in the cabin were in a panic.
