When the Qing soldiers entered the city from the west gate, in order to facilitate the army, they removed all the Ming army's bases on the streets and at the city gate, so Wang Yan rushed to the city gate from the street, and there was no obstacle at all.

Li Shutai had the heart to block it, but the Qing soldiers around him were already in chaos, especially the real Manchuria, who was carrying large and small burdens, was in a hurry to get out of the city and did not listen to his command at all.

Wang Yan gathered eight or nine hundred cavalry on his side, and Li Shutai only had a hundred cavalry to meet him, but the rest of the Qing soldiers only cared about pouring out of the city gate, and the two armies collided together, and immediately killed Li Shutai and retreated.

Seeing that he could no longer support it, the guards around him immediately hugged him and fled outside the city gate, but at this time, Wang Yan's cavalry had already killed the city, where could he escape easily, and led the cavalry to cover the killing.

He Gang drew a knife and cut off the strips of cloth on the hanging beam of the five women one by one, and then put them on the broken bed, probed his nose, and found that they were still angry, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, a Ming army general wearing chain mail walked into the room, it was Li Taizhen, he had already learned the identity of He Gang from the surviving Ming army in the courtyard, so he came in to meet him.

"Lord Ho!" Li Taizhen bowed his hand slightly: "Li Taizhen is in the Xia Zhongyi Camp." ”

Zhongyi Battalion, He Gang has never heard of it, but it is definitely not the original people in Yangzhou City.

"What about the imperial court sending reinforcements to cross the river?" He Gang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Li Taizhen was stunned, and neither he nor Wang Yan knew that Liu Liangzuo had surrendered, so he nodded and said: "The army is still on the way to Yangzhou, so we will cross the river to support first." ”

Hearing that sure enough, the reinforcements had arrived, and they had already entered the city, and maybe they could turn the tide of the battle in Yangzhou, He Gang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "General Li, how many men and horses have you waited?" ”

"Less than a thousand!" Li Taizhen said lightly.

When He Gang heard that there were only a thousand people, the flame that had just ignited in his heart couldn't help but be extinguished again, there were no less than 100,000 Qing soldiers besieging Yangzhou, what use could a thousand men and horses do? He Gang was suddenly discouraged.

At this time, a soldier of the Zhongyi Battalion suddenly broke into the room, and after seeing Li Taizhen, he hurriedly saluted and said: "General, the commander has an order, let the Ming army in the city move to the west city, drive the Qing soldiers out of Yangzhou, and recapture the west gate!" ”

"Ben knows!" Hearing this, Li Taizhen nodded, and then waved his hand and said, "You step back first, let the brothers in the courtyard get ready, and I will come later." ”

"What?" He Gang was confused by their conversation, and said in disbelief: "You want to retake Yangzhou?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Taizhen nodded, and then adjusted his armor and said: "The south gate has been controlled, and the general estimates that the east gate and the north gate have also fallen into the hands of our army, as long as the west city is defeated, Yangzhou will return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Lord He is going to Xicheng with me?" Li Taizhen glanced at the unconscious five women, and then said, "Or stay here?" ”

"Naturally, I will go with the general!" Although He Gang didn't know how to turn the situation in the city with a thousand reinforcements, as long as he could recapture Yangzhou, he was willing to give up his life.

"That's great!" Li Taizhen nodded with satisfaction and walked out.

He Gang followed him out of the room, and then said to Dai Zhifan, who was sitting on the ground resting with his broken eye: "You stay here, wait for a few girls to wake up, and then send them to a safe place in Nancheng." ”

"Whoa!" Dai Zhifan wanted to get up, but He Gang held his shoulder, so he had to sit and answer.

At this time, Li Taizhen had already sorted out the people in the courtyard, and there were more than 300 people, so he hurried out of the courtyard gate and prepared to go straight to the west gate.

Seeing this, He Gang hurriedly took a few steps to catch up, and after rushing to Li Taizhen's side, he reminded: "General Li, in addition to the city gate in Xicheng, there is another place where Qing soldiers can enter the city. ”

Li Taizhen couldn't help but stop when he heard this, looked at him and asked, "There is another place?" ”

"Yes!" He Gang explained: "On the night of the twenty-fourth, the Qing army's red-clothed artillery shelled Xicheng, knocking down a section of the northwest corner, and it was from there that the Qing soldiers entered Yangzhou!" ”

"Let's go! Go to the gap in the northwest corner! Li Taizhen, who was originally going to go to the West Gate, immediately made a decision and made the horse change direction and run towards the collapse.

In the big tent of the Qing army outside the city, Duoduo was relieved after sending more than 4,500 Han troops with the Blue Banner of Li Shuotai.

The Ming army that he wanted to enter the city was only 1,000 people, and with the combat strength of the Ming army, Li Shutai must have more than enough to deal with.

By this time, Duoduo had already focused his attention on Scofa, and he straightened his clothes, and went to his guards to bring Scofa into the tent.

After a while, Shi Kefa, who looked haggard, was brought in, and Duoduo hurriedly asked people to arrange seats, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. is in my hands today, if you can clean up Jiangnan for my Daqing, you should not hesitate to take on a heavy responsibility!" ”

Shi Kefa is the governor of Jiangbei, an important minister of the Ming court, and countless protégés, if he can return to the Qing Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to stabilize Jiangnan, especially to subdue the hearts of Jiangnan scholars, so although Duoduo knows that Shi Kefa likes his reputation, he is still willing to give it a try.

Yangzhou was broken one day, Shi Kefa was already heartbroken at this time, he couldn't help but recall that since he supervised Jiangbei, it seemed that nothing had been accomplished, and the heart of death was even stronger.

In the face of multiple persuasions, Shi Kefa said firmly: "I am a **** minister, how can I be willing to live secretly and be a sinner for all eternity!" My head can be broken, my body is unyielding, the city is dead and dead, my will has been decided, that is, to split the corpse in ten thousand sections, willing to be like a glutton, Er Xiu wants to say more! ”

Duoduo's hot face was pressed to the cold buttocks, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, he saw that Shi Kefa was so resolute, and knew that it was impossible to surrender, so he could only wave his hand and let Shi Kefa take him down.

Duoduo is not Huang Taiji, he doesn't have that great talent, Shi Kefa is not Hong Chengchou, he doesn't have the ability to beat Li Chuang to only eighteen horsemen in Shangluo Mountain, and he doesn't have the talent of thousands of remnants to defend Songshan alone for most of the year.

If Shi Kefa does not surrender, Duoduo will naturally not be kept like Huang Taiji did to Hong Chengchou, he does not have that mind, so he soon ordered Shi Kefa's words to be divided and killed.

Just as Duoduo was about to close his eyes and recuperate after dealing with Shi Kefa's affairs, a soldier suddenly came to see him outside the tent.

Duoduo asked the guards to let people in, and after the soldier entered the tent, he bowed his head and gasped: "Lord! The East Gate was recaptured by the Ming Army! ”

Hearing this, Duoduo couldn't help but be stunned, and his entire brow furrowed.

"Report! The north gate was captured by the Ming army! ”

Before Duoduo could react, another soldier outside the tent shouted and ran towards the tent, and Duoduo was furious when he heard it: "What about Li Shutai? What is he doing eating the land! ”

Li Shutai, who was nagged by Duoduo, was also uncomfortable at this time, there were less than a hundred people around him, and the rest were all chaotic soldiers, where was Wang Yan's opponent, he had already been chased by Wang Yan and escaped from the city gate.

In the battle, Wang Yan learned that the other party was Li Shuitai, and most of Wang Yan's cavalry were from Shandong, and he was almost forced into a desperate situation by Hetuo and Li Shuitai. Now that the enemy is very red when he sees each other, where can he be allowed to escape, Wang Yan immediately divided more than 200 horsemen, chased and killed, vowing to kill Li Shutai and then quickly.

Duoduo was about to get angry, and the messenger sent by Li Shutai before also arrived. When he got into the account, he didn't care about Duoduo's face, so he hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang! The Ming army counterattacked Xicheng, and the minions couldn't stand it, so Li Dutong asked the minions to come for help, and asked the prince to send a large army to support quickly. ”
