Chapter 388: The Longest Day (4)
(Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend "Pengyue"!! )
The two personal soldiers around Zhu Yu were sent by Li Chengdong to protect her and monitor her, Li Chengdong was afraid that if he and his son Li Yuanyin died in battle, Zhu Yu could not be martyred, so these two people also took the responsibility of sending Zhu Yu on the road. Now I heard that these people are here to save the young lady, how can these two agree, a pro-soldier hurriedly said: "Young lady, you can't go!" The Major General is coming back soon! ”
Ding Wei couldn't help but be angry when he heard that this person didn't let Zhu Yu go, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to stop the uncle from working?
"You guy dare to stop the Jinyi Guard from running an errand and take his life!" After Ding Wei finished speaking, he was about to step forward and make a move.
Zhu Yu saw that Ding Wei was about to make a move, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Wait a minute!" ”
When Ding Wei saw the princess standing in front of him, he could only stop and say, "Your Royal Highness the Princess! Wait for the villain to kill these two guys, and then take the princess out of the city! ”
"I'm not going to go with you!"
Hearing Zhu Yu say this, Ding Wei was stunned, in his heart, the emperor's holy decree was heaven, but he didn't expect that there would be anyone who dared to disobey.
"Princess, but the emperor's decree is to rescue the princess!"
"Father, I will naturally explain to him that this has nothing to do with the general. Now I order you, as Princess Yuyang, to help my father-in-law resist the Qing army! ”
Zhu Yu's order made Ding Wei dumbfounded, "Princess, there are three thousand Qing troops outside the door, and there are only one hundred villains, so if you don't leave now, you won't have a chance!" ”
"You can choose, either to help my father-in-law resist the Qing army, or you can go out of the city by yourself, but I won't go with you, you can do it yourself!"
After Zhu Yu finished speaking, he turned his head back to the house and closed the door.
Ding Wei stood at the door and was anxious, but he didn't expect that this Yuyang princess would not enter. If he didn't rescue the princess and returned to Guangdong, there was only one way to die, and if he helped Li Chengdong, maybe he could make a name for his son, or send him to death!
After Ding Wei thought about it, he said to the two soldiers guarding the door: "Two brothers, I want to go to the front yard to help General Li, can you lead the way!" ”
Hearing Ding Wei's willingness to help, the two pro-soldiers were overjoyed, and one of them hurriedly came out and said, "I'll go, general, please come with me!" ”
Ding Wei had no choice but to follow this pro-soldier to the front yard to help resist the Qing army.
Li Chengdong in the front yard was in the courtyard on the second floor, the battle was very fierce, there were less than 300 of his 500 personal soldiers left, and the Qing army on the opposite side was also killed more than 200 people, but the number of Qing troops was far more than Li Chengdong. At this time, more than 100 people brought by Ding Wei entered the battle and caught the Qing army off guard.
Li Chengdong didn't expect that there would be reinforcements at this time, so he called Ding Wei to ask which part it was.
"General Li, below is Guangdong Jinyi Wei Baihu Ding, who is ordered by Princess Yuyang to help you!"
Li Chengdong didn't expect it to be Jinyiwei, but seeing that there were only more than 100 people, it was a drop in the bucket.
Li Chengdong smiled bitterly: "Ding Baihu is really a man, he jumped into it knowing that it was a fire pit!" ”
"I also know, but there is no way, if Ding runs away and returns to Guangdong, it will be a dead end, it is better to fight to the death, and you can also fight for my son's fame!"
Hearing Ding Wei say this, Li Chengdong smiled bitterly, "It seems that Ding Baihu's fame has been decided!" ”
While the two were talking, the Qing army outside the gate launched a new wave of offensive, and this time Tong Guonai invested a thousand people to try to take the Li Mansion at one time.
Li Chengdong saw that he couldn't hold on, and Yang Tian sighed: "I, Li Hezi, have been all my life, and it seems that I am going to die in Fuzhou today!" ”
At this time, several explosions occurred in the rear of the Qing army, and the Qing army, which was originally in complete formation, immediately became a mess.
Li Chengdong didn't know why it exploded, but Ding Wei knew that the explosion just now was the sound of a grenade*, and Wang Xian and they arrived.
"General Li, don't worry, this is our people, our Lord Wang Xian Qianhu has brought people here!"
The Qing troops who were lined up outside the gate were suddenly attacked by grenades, and the dead bodies fell to the ground, and the others immediately withdrew from the house. Wang Xian was able to storm the Li Mansion with 300 men.
Li Chengdong saw a large group of men wearing various costumes coming in outside the door, and knew that these were Jinyi guards, but he didn't expect Zhu Hongsan to be able to lurk so many Jinyi guards in Fuzhou.
Wang Xian saw Li Chengdong, who was covered in blood, stepped forward and said, "General Li, it's too late to come down!" ”
Li Chengdong is also a character, and laughed and said: "Wang Qianhu, thank you Jinyi Wei for reaching out in this kind of crisis!" Your friend and I Li Chengdong have made up my mind! ”
"General Li, we received information last night that Tong Guonai was ready to do it, but the city gate was closed last night, and we couldn't enter the city! In addition, Lord Tong was detained in the governor's yamen, so he had to make this decision! ”
Hearing Wang Xian say that Tong Tuchang was detained in the governor's yamen, Li Chengdong was stunned in his heart, what is the relationship between that Tong Tuchang and Tong Guonai? Can you enter the governor's yamen? They are all surnamed Tong, don't they be relatives, right? Thinking of this, Li Chengdong had doubts in his heart, and felt as if he had been calculated.
Suspicion is suspicion, how can Li Chengdong have the heart to care about these things at present, and survival is the most important thing at present.
After the initial confusion, the Qing army outside the gate found that there were not many reinforcements rushing in, only a few hundred. The Qing army, which reacted, under the leadership of the commander, once again attacked the Li Mansion.
Wang Xian brought only 100 grenades* into the city this time, and all of these things were smuggled into Fuzhou, and the number was not much, plus he was afraid of the tide, so he brought everything that could be used with him now. I used twenty of them just now to rush in, but now there are less than eighty. But fortunately, the courtyard on the second floor of the Li Mansion is very narrow, and the Qing army can't show its formation at one time, and only with the tactics of one hundred and one hundred refueling, Li Chengdong's side can still hold on.
However, with the addition of Wang Xian's 300 people, Li Chengdong only has 600 people available, and the Qing army outside still has 27,800 people. Li Chengdong slowly couldn't stand it anymore, Li Chengdong looked at it and shouted in his heart: Boyu, when will the reinforcements arrive, if it's too late, Lao Tzu will die!
Li Chengdong was in a hurry, and Li Yuanyin was even more anxious to die. You must know that there is his wife in the house, and she is pregnant, if she is late for rescue, she will regret it for life.
Li Chengdong's military camp was outside the water department, just between the east and south gates. Now that the east city gate can't go, Li Yuanyin has to rush to the south gate first, pray that the south gate will not be closed, and only after leaving the city can he go to the camp by bypassing the water department. This road is full of twenty miles, but there is no way, Li Yuanyin took ten personal soldiers to escort the horse and galloped in the city.
It is now the morning, and the area around Nancheng is full of people, and Li Yuanyin doesn't care about what hurts the innocent, he gallops on the road on horseback, and hurts many people, as for whether Li Yuanyin has stepped on it to death, I don't know.
Running for ten miles, he finally arrived at the south gate, and Li Yuanyin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the south gate open, and said to his ten personal soldiers: "A few of you stay at the south gate, you must make sure that the south gate is open, and the one who wants to close the door and kill it on the spot!" ”
Ten pro-soldiers led the order to stop at the south gate, Li Yuanyin rode out of the city on horseback, and rushed to the water department in the east, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the inspection department guarding the door here at the south gate did not dare to ask, the one in Fuzhou City did not recognize Li Chengdong and his son. In the past, Li Yuanyin was not bad, fair trading did not bully others, but today I don't know what's wrong.
When he came to the gate of the camp, Li Yuanyin shouted from a distance: "Open the door quickly, emergency military situation!" ”
The soldiers guarding the door were stunned when they saw Li Yuanyin, who was galloping on horseback, isn't the marshal coming today, why did the young general come first. The soldiers did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly opened the camp gate to let Li Yuanyin enter the camp.
Li Yuanyin came to the big tent and ordered the officers to beat the drum and gather the generals. Today was originally the day of Li Chengdong's office, and all the generals were dressed up and waiting for Li Chengdong's arrival.
Hearing the drum beating in the big tent, the generals came to the big tent to prepare to see the marshal. But after entering the account, it was found that Li Yuanyin was sitting in the middle, and Li Chengdong was nowhere to be seen.
Li Chengdong's subordinate Yang Dafu saw that Li Chengdong didn't come, and Li Yuanyin came, so he hurriedly asked: "Boyu, why didn't the handsome come!" ”
Yang Dafu is Li Chengdong's old brother, and he followed Li Chengdong in Shaanxi, so it can be said that Li Chengdong is an absolute cronie.
"Uncle Yang, something big has happened in the city, the Manchu Tartars are going to do something to the big handsome, and now the governor Tong Guonai is besieging the Li Mansion with his men and horses, and my father asked me to come out and move the rescuers!" Uncle Yang, bring all the men and me into the city! ”
Of course, Yang Dafu and some old brothers in Shaanxi have no opinion, they don't look down on Tong Guonai and his Han Army Banner, there was no way for Li Chengdong to press them before, but now I heard that they are going to fight Tong Guonai 10,000 agree.
But Li Chengdong is not only from Shaanxi, you must know that after Gao Jie surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he and Li Zicheng fought many battles in Henan, and also stationed in Yangzhou during the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and there were many Henan and Shandong people in his team, all of whom were headed by the deputy general Luo Chengyao.
Luo Chengyao met with Tong Guonai's messenger last night, and already knew that Tong Guonai was going to make a move on Li Chengdong today. Now that I see Li Yuanyin coming to move the rescuers, I can agree.
"Major General, no! Now the situation in the city is unknown, these 50,000 horses are our capital, and we must not rush into the city, what if we fall into the trap of Tong Guonai? ”
Yang Dafu was originally at odds with Luo Chengyao, in the past, Li Chengdong suppressed Yang Dafu in order to unite the Henan people, but now he can bear it when he sees Luo Chengyao opposing Yang Dafu.
"Luo cub, you mother-in-law buy forced goods, I told Brother Li a long time ago that you Henan people are not good things, now show your fox tail, you say, what benefits do you have from the Manchu Tartar?"
Yang Dafu's words immediately offended the generals of Henan and Shandong.
"Yang Daifu, what kind of bullshit are you putting on! What's wrong with us Henan people, say it with you Shaanxi soldiers! ”
Seeing that the Henan people were indiscriminately discharging map cannons, the Shaanxi generals, who accounted for the majority of the big tent, quit.
"Fuck your mother's ass, you Henan people are all bastards! Back then, Brother Gao died in the hands of your Henan people Xu Dingguo, are there any good people in your Henan people? ”
Back then, Gao Jie fell for Xu Dingguo's plan and died tragically in his hands. The Shaanxi generals in the house are all Gao Jie's old subordinates, and when they heard Yang Dafu say this, they all remembered that Xu Dingguo was from Henan, and Luo Chengyao was a fellow countryman, and they scolded the generals from Henan.
The people in the big tent were all soldiers, and they had a hot temper, and they started to do it after scolding a few words. This was terrible, and the personal soldiers of the generals outside the big tent heard that there was a fight inside, and rushed in to help their masters.
