Chapter 504: Capturing Kong Youde Alive

More than 100,000 Qing troops plus tens of thousands of captured people, although the flood is large, it is impossible to wash away and drown, there will always be lucky people who are lucky enough to escape their lives.

Most of the outside of Yangzhou is plain, but there are still many hills in the west of the city. The terrain of Yangzhou is high in the west and low in the east, and the higher the terrain is to the west, and when it reaches Yizheng, it completely enters the hilly area.

At this time, these hills, which are only a dozen or dozens of zhang high, have become isolated islands in the ocean.

Each isolated island is inhabited by a large number of creatures, including Qing soldiers and civilians who fled here. There are also rabbits, rats, snakes and insects in the wilderness, living in harmony with humans on isolated islands.

On a hilly island, there are more than 100 people who have survived hundreds of catastrophes, and the rest are ordinary people, but there are not many Eight Banner soldiers.

Living in the Yangzhou area, where rivers and lakes are dense, most of the people have good water properties, although the flood at night came suddenly, so that many people were washed away by the floods, but there are also many people who survived with better water properties and fled to the higher hills.

"Get out of here!" A wet green battalion soldier pushed the people who were in front of him, and it was difficult to go higher.

The people looked at him hatefully, but turned sideways.

"You're looking for death?" The boss was immediately angry, and wanted to pull out his knife to teach this Diao people a lesson, but was grabbed by the arm of another green battalion soldier next to him.

"Don't look at the current situation, you must not be as arrogant as before." Another green battalion soldier named Chen Yu pulled him aside and whispered.

What is the situation? It seems that there are more people on this isolated island than the green battalion soldiers, but can't they cure this gang of people? This always just opened his mouth to refute, but when he thought about it deeply, his face suddenly turned pale.

100,000 Qing troops were swept away by the flood, and those who were lucky enough to escape were also trapped on an isolated island, and the Ming army in Yangzhou City would definitely not miss the opportunity to beat the water dogs, how could they be stupid enough to dare to play tricks on the people?

"What do you think we should do?" At the moment of life and death, he put down his body and humbly asked for advice from this discerning soldier.

"The Ming army will soon attack by boat, and we will have to behave well if we want to survive. These Eight Banners masters can't stay any longer, we have to take them down to do it anyway. Green Battalion soldier Chen Yu's eyes swept to the Eight Banners soldiers who were staying higher, and said quietly.

On this hill, there were about twenty or thirty of the Eight Banners who had fled, all of whom stayed in higher places, just like the ordinary green battalion soldiers and ordinary people, all looking at the vast flood in a daze.

The general manager Jielin glanced at these Eight Banner soldiers with pity, turned around and quietly beckoned the familiar green battalion soldiers. There were nearly 100 Green Battalion soldiers on the hills, and he needed to mobilize most of them before he could be sure to deal with these Eight Banner Lords.

When people reach despair, they will burst out with great courage to survive, and in the face of the imminent threat of death, the fierce Eight Banners soldiers are not so terrible.

Under the encouragement of this general called Bao Jielin, all the soldiers of the Green Battalion understood the current grim situation. Although these green battalion soldiers belonged to several generals, and many of them were not familiar with each other, they were united unprecedentedly under the common goal of survival.

The Pingnan Army in Yangzhou City treats the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion soldiers very ruthlessly, if you don't want to make meritorious deeds and treat the crime for meritorious service, when the Pingnan Army and the navy arrive, all that awaits everyone is death.

"What do you want to do? Rebellion? Looking at the many green battalion soldiers who surrounded him, a soldier of the Eight Banners of Han scolded sharply.

The more than 20 Eight Banner soldiers on this hill all belonged to the Han Army Banner, and their leader was Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde.

Born on Dongjiang Island, he and most of his subordinates were well-versed in water, which is why they were able to escape the flood and escape to this hill.

But looking at the surging flood in the distance, and then at the group of green battalion soldiers who were approaching, Kong Youde's face showed a look of despair.

Although the more than 20 people under his command are all Han army banners, their combat power is much higher than that of these miscellaneous green battalion soldiers who have just surrendered.

But who has just escaped from the flood and who will carry such a burden as knives, guns and firearms when escaping. There were more than twenty Eight Banner soldiers, and the only weapon was a sword that Kong Youde hung on his waist, and a few daggers used to cut meat.

Looking at the green battalion soldiers who came up with sticks and stones, Kong Youde's heart was full of despair.

At this time, it was superfluous to say anything, and a flood made the obscenity of the Eight Banners disappear in the hearts of the Green Battalion soldiers. All you can do is pick up what you have at hand and fight this last one!

"Brothers, kill all these pigs for me!" Kong Youde pulled out his sword and shouted sharply at the green battalion soldiers who were surrounding him.

Although the Eight Banners soldiers were brave but suffering from the lack of weapons, there was a big difference in numbers, and the Green Battalion soldiers were weak but outnumbered.

If they were to fight in full armor, even if they were several times more numerous, these Green Battalion soldiers would definitely not be the opponent of the Eight Banners.

But now most of the two sides have no weapons, and all they can use are sticks and stones that they can pick up casually, and this is no longer a war, but a fight.

More than 20 Eight Banner soldiers soon fell into the encirclement of the Green Battalion soldiers, and the Green Battalion soldiers fought against one by one, and launched a siege and assault on these Eight Banner Masters who had once ridden on their heads.

Kong Youde's face was gloomy, and he swung his sword and slashed three green battalion soldiers in a row, but then he was caught by a steel knife.

The general contractor Jielin was the only one with a weapon, and the Eight Banners soldier with a sharp blade in front of him was naturally dealt with by him.

After holding the sword with a knife, Bao Jielin was pleasantly surprised to see that the person in front of him turned out to be Kong Youde, a big man in the Eight Banners.

"Kong Youde!" Bao Jielin laughed, if he could catch this person, no matter how big the sin was, he would be forgiven by the Pingnan Army, and maybe he would be reused.

The swords rose together, and the two fought together, Bao Jielin's martial arts were naturally not as good as the battle-hardened Kong Youde, but there were green battalion soldiers who besieged Kong Youde with him.

When he heard Bao Jielin shouting the three words Kong Youde, Chen Yu, a soldier in the green battalion, fell in love, he was just a small soldier, and he didn't know Kong Youde, but he also knew that this was a big man in the Eight Banners, a prince, and he could be said to have made a great contribution to winning him.

With his empty hands, Chen Yu moved slowly, quietly turned to Kong Youde's side, and when Kong Youde cut out the sword, he suddenly jumped over and hugged Kong Youde's arm holding the sword.

"Capture this man alive!" Bao Jielin shouted loudly, slamming the back of his knife on the back of Kong Youde's hand, knocking his sword to the ground.

A brawl ended with the victory of the outnumbered Green Battalion, and most of the more than 20 Eight Banners were captured alive, and a few who resisted violently were stoned to death.

Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde, this general of the Dongjiang Army of the Ming Dynasty, but who defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was captured alive, tied into a zongzi with a belt and thrown on the ground.

After dealing with the Eight Banners, Bao Jielin shouted and led these green battalion soldiers to carry out rescue work. They helped resettle the people who fled to the hills, and actively rescued the refugees in the floods, and with their efforts, dozens of people who struggled in the floods were rescued to the hills.

At this moment, many ships appeared in the distance, and the Pingnan Army fleet finally came from Yangzhou, and the people on the hills and the green battalion soldiers cheered at the same time.
