"Boom~Boom~"

After the Ming soldiers retreated like a tide under the city wall, the red-clothed cannon in the distance let out a roar again, smashing the cannonballs on the city wall one after another, and the rubble was splashed.

The entire west city of Jingzhou has been devastated, there are deep craters everywhere, and most of the walls on the city have been collapsed, and a large number of Qing soldiers have sat against the wall tiredly after the Ming army retreated, and all the weapons were thrown aside.

At this time, a Qing general, under the escort of several personal soldiers, walked down the city wall in some embarrassment, and the damaged armor pieces on their bodies, as well as the filthy bloodstains, all told that they had just experienced a bitter battle.

At this time, the general took off his iron helmet as he walked, and with his bare head and a rat's tail leaking, and a tired and anxious face, he walked down the city wall with some eagerness, and in a moment he came to a courtyard courtyard.

This courtyard is close to the west gate and is the center of the Qing army's command and defense of the city.

When the general came to the door, the doorman hurriedly saluted, but the general ignored it and walked directly into the courtyard, and at the same time, a Qing court civil official wearing a four-grade mandarin duck supplement uniform also walked out in a panic.

When the civil official saw the oncoming general, he couldn't help but step forward in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "Chief Zheng Bing, how is it?" ”

The general is Zheng Siwei, he heard the words of the civil official, his face was dejected, he said: "I can't hold it, I came to talk to Master Li to discuss countermeasures, and see what to do!" ”

"I can't hold it~" Li Sifeng's face turned pale for a while when he heard this, "Wang Yan doesn't allow us to surrender, and this city can't be defended, so I won't be dead!" ”

Zheng Siwei sighed: "Most of Wang Yan's men and horses are rebellious people, and a certain sacrifice to Jingzhou caused the thief to be chased and killed by Prince Ying, and the result was defeated again and again, not only the plan to go east to Jinling was completely destroyed, but the thief also died. The rest of the thieves hate a certain person to the bone, Wang Yan is going to take a certain item on the head, in order to collect the heart of the army! ”

Since Wang Yan refused the surrender of Zheng Siwei and Li Sifeng, the two of them were very frightened, but since the surrender was desperate all the way, they wanted to defend the city to the death, but now the soldiers and horses attacking the city were not the previous Shun army, Li Guo was extremely fast after receiving firearms support.

Although Zheng Siwei personally went to the city to supervise the battle and reluctantly repelled the attack of the Ming army, he knew very well in his heart that the city would be broken in these few days.

"No~" Li Sifeng was very desperate in his heart, he surrendered to the Qing court in order to pursue glory and wealth, not to die for the Qing court, and now that the wealth has not begun to enjoy, how can he die in Jingzhou City?

"General Zheng, there is no Ming army outside the east gate, why don't we abandon the city and leave, how about it?"

Zheng Siwei shook his head and said: "This Wang Yan is afraid that I am all united, and the plan I have made to encircle three is missing one, and it is expected that outside the East City, there will be ambushes." ”

Li Sifeng said: "Although there are ambush soldiers, but defending the city will die, there is still a glimmer of life when going out of the city, and the general should fight for it!" ”

Zheng Siwei frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Okay~ I will lead the army to break through tonight, but what should King Huaishun do, do you want to inform him?" ”

The corners of Li Sifeng's mouth showed a hint of cruelty, and he said coldly: "Don't report it to him, if he knows, the general and I won't be able to go." ”

It was the third watch of the night, Zheng and Li really abandoned the city and ran, and he each led a thousand elite soldiers and horses, and when they left the eastern city, they fled separately.

Zheng Siwei went directly to the east to Wuchang, but Li Sifeng ran to the small road and wanted to go to Xiangyang, but the two ran only two miles in the dark night, Yuan Zongdi, Wang Shixiu, Dai Zhifan and other Ming troops led the army to kill at the same time, and under the cover of the cavalry, Li Sifeng was shot to death, Zheng Siwei was captured alive, and the rest of the people were killed and scattered, and they fled and disappeared into the vast wilderness.

Just when the killing outside the city shook the sky, Jingzhou City was also in chaos in an instant, the green camp knew that the city would abandon the city, and they flocked to the east gate, and some of them began to burn and loot everywhere in the city, and Jingzhou City suddenly burst into flames.

Geng Zhongming was awakened by the sound of the city's uproar in his sleep, and quickly got up and beckoned people to ask, but the guards didn't know the specific situation, so he had to put on his armor first, but at this moment, a group of yellow-armored Eight Banners soldiers rushed into the house.

When a Qing general at the head saw him, he bowed and said: "Father, Zheng Siwei has run away, the Ming army has entered from the east gate, and the child will escort you out of the city." ”

Geng Zhongming was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but take two steps back before he stabilized his figure.

The Qing general was Geng Zhongming's son Geng Jimao, and when he saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand, and a yellow-armored soldier brought the war horse, and several Qing army cattle Lu Ezhen hugged him, and set up Geng Zhongming to help him get on the horse.

At this time, the city was already in flames, and countless shouts of killing had been forced to the government, but Geng Zhongming broke free from the people who caressed him on the horse, and the whole person said dejectedly: "You are like this, not to save this king, but to let this king cut off his children and grandchildren!" ”

When the Huangjia Qing soldiers saw this, their hearts sank, and Geng Jimao had to persuade: "Father, the Ming army will arrive soon, and there is no hurry to come if you don't leave." ”

After Geng Jimao finished speaking, he asked Huangjia Qingbing to fight him again, but Geng Zhongming suddenly pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Don't wait for anyone to come, this king will lose his troops and generals, and if he loses Jingzhou again, it will not be tolerated by the court. ”

At this time, Geng Zhongming drank back the Huangjia Qing soldiers, and looked at Geng Jimao and said: "Jimao, my father orders now, go out of the city immediately, for my Geng family, live well, as for the responsibility of defeat, let my father bear it alone." ”

At such a moment of crisis, Geng Zhongming's mind is very clear, he almost defeated the Han army's Zhenghuang Banner, which is a big crime, and now Jingzhou is lost, Luck Dehun basically has no possibility of winning, he is a crime on top of a crime, and he will definitely die.

The situation in Huguang is a big rout, someone has to carry this pot, Luck Dehun is a close confidant of Dolgon, and he is a Manchu royal family, so naturally it will not be him, and Geng Zhongming's official position is high enough, his identity is big enough, and he happens to be a Han who has no support, so it is naturally appropriate to carry the blame.

Geng Dangming knew that once he escaped from Jingzhou, there would be only one result, that is, the cauldron of Huguang's defeat on his back, but he knew very well in his heart that this pot could not be carried by all, so he had only one death to protect Geng Jimao and his family from punishment.

At this time, a group of Huangjia Qing soldiers, listening to Geng Zhongming's words, couldn't help but kneel down one after another, but Geng Jimao had already burst into tears, he cried: "Father, think twice~ If the father doesn't leave, the child is willing to die together." ”

"We are also willing to die together~"

Geng Zhongming glanced at Geng Jimao, and then at these yellow-armored soldiers, they were all old men who had followed him for many years, and some of them were his subordinates from the era of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, so they were still very loyal to him and couldn't bear to leave him to die.

Looking at the people in front of him, Geng Zhongming also thought that his face was full of tears, he put the knife across his neck, Geng Jimao and the others were suddenly shocked, and he shouted again: "Jimao, go~ This is the father's life, the Geng family can't be killed, do you understand?" ”

At this time, the Ming army had already rushed to the vicinity, and when Geng Jimao saw this, he couldn't help crying and worshipping: "Father, rest assured, the child will inherit the Geng family's career, kill Wang Yan, and avenge you." ”

After Geng Jimao finished speaking, he bowed to Geng Zhongming a few more times, then resolutely got up, turned over his horse and rushed out of the city to a group of Huangjia Qing soldiers.

Seeing this, Geng Zhongming's whole body couldn't help but weaken, and the knife fell to the ground, he listened to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer in the city, and couldn't help but retreat into the house with a burst of laughter, and set himself on fire and died.

In history, in the second year of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty, in February of the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yan, the prince of Chu in the Ming Dynasty, led 80,000 soldiers to fall into Jingzhou, and Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun in the Qing Dynasty, burned to death, and the world shook.
