Chapter 70 Crossing the Yangtze River, Duoduo Leaving Yang
Morning Glory, the Han Girl of the Bright River.
Slender hands, zaza lanes.All day long, sobbing is like rain;The river is clear and shallow, a little different!Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent.
There is no wind in the summer night, the stars are dotted, and before you know it, Wang Yan stands on the city wall, looking at the Cowherd and Vega Star in the sky, silent.
As the commander of a city, Wang Yan can only let the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou see his iron-clad side, and hide the tenderness in his heart.
The stars flowed, unable to go the same way, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl had magpies to build a bridge to meet, but between Wang Yan and Xu Yanyan, there were 300,000 northern captives and the Yangtze River flowing eastward.
It's been more than two months since they were separated, but is the beauty okay?
With Yangzhou resisting the north captives going south, Xu Yanyan should be able to wear new clothes, worship double stars, and prepare for the begging festival like the women in Jiangnan in previous years.
Wang Yan closed his eyes, imagining Xu Yanyan's appearance in his mind, imagining what she was doing, until the breeze suddenly picked up and confused his mind and fantasies, he retracted his thoughts, and let out a long sigh of loss: "The clouds are misty, the water is vast, and we will be together for a short time." ”
At this time, he looked up at the starry sky and saw that the stars had been obscured by dark clouds, so he turned around and went down the city tower in a disappointed heart, and went to the palace in a huff.
There was no word all night, only the whispering of frogs.
At dawn in the morning, Wang Yan got up early and practiced a set of sword techniques awarded to him by Hu Weizong in the courtyard.
The long knife was danced by Wang Yan vigorously, the knife wind was whistling, and the tender genius of last night was gone, and he was replaced by a strong and powerful killing general.
A year ago, Wang Yan was still a weak scholar with no power, but after experiencing the tempering of the battlefield, he has now become a murderous battlefield general.
After a set of sword dances, Wang Yan was already sweating like rain, he washed away the sweat on his body with cold water, and then put on his armor with the help of his personal guards, and prepared to go to the city to inspect.
Yesterday, he submitted a letter to humiliate the Qing army, with Duoduo's temperament, he will definitely not endure it, and today there will be no attack, so Wang Yan needs to order the generals earlier to avoid mistakes.
Wang Yan led ten guards all the way out of the courtyard where he lived, and walked towards the gate of the mansion, but suddenly saw He Gang hurriedly walking inside.
Seeing this, Wang Yan was about to ask, but when He Gang saw him, he suddenly saluted and said, "General! It seems that the northern captives are about to withdraw from Yangzhou and return to the north! ”
"What?" When Wang Yan heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "The northern captives have withdrawn from the siege, and you can see it clearly!" ”
"The lower officials have not yet been determined, but the northern captives are indeed cleaning up the camp." He Gang hurriedly said: "In the early morning, there was a report from the soldiers, saying that there were movements in the battalions of the northern captives, and the lower officials hurriedly went to the city to check, and saw that the grain and grass in their camp were loaded and the camp tent was put down, so they hurriedly came to report to the general. ”
Listening to He Gang's words, the Qing army was indeed packing up supplies, and Wang Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go!" With the general going up to the city, he will know what the northern captives want. ”
At that moment, Wang Yan and the others traveled all the way, and after a while, they came to the city wall, and a group of Yangzhou officials were already waiting here.
Wang Yan took a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the Qing army camp under the city, and sure enough, he saw a large number of Qing troops running around the camp, packing up grain and grass, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "Could it be that Duoduo mistakenly thought that Yangzhou City had abundant materials and could not be captured, and he was disheartened and wanted to lead the troops back north." ”
With Wang Yan's understanding of Duoduo, this fang will never give up attacking Yang, but if the Qing army really returns north, not only will Yangzhou be protected, but the imperial court will also have time to regroup and consolidate Jiangnan, Wang Yan's face suddenly showed joy.
"General!" Qu Congzhi, who was observing the Qing camp from the side, suddenly pointed to the south and said, "The soldiers from the north seem to be boarding the ship." ”
Hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly looked at the riverside with a clairvoyant mirror, and sure enough, he saw a group of clear soldiers heading towards the place where the warships gathered.
On the river, a part of the Qing warships had already raised their sails, riding the river breeze, heading to the south bank, Wang Yan saw this and immediately lost his voice: "The north wants to give up Yangzhou, and go straight to Nanjing!" ”
A group of Yangzhou civil and military officials, listening to Wang Yan's words, couldn't help but change their faces. At this time, everyone looked at the Qing military camp again, and the Qing soldiers in the camp packed up the supplies and did not go north, but gathered on the south bank or the east side of the Grand Canal.
"General! It's better to take advantage of the time when the northern captives pull out the camp, rush out and kill him by surprise! The king of all beings said with an embroidery.
Hearing this, Wang Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly observed the Qing soldiers outside the city, but found that Duoduo did not withdraw all the Qing soldiers from Yangzhou, and he also left a large number of men and horses to monitor Yangzhou.
Sure enough, under Wang Yan's careful observation, he sent the Qing army to pull out the camp and it seemed chaotic, but it had already been prepared, and among the many Qing soldiers running in the camp, there were always a few groups of people and horses gathered and did not move.
These horses are hidden in the army, it is not easy to notice, they seem to be gathering supplies, but in fact, they are waiting for the Yangzhou defenders to rashly leave the city, and then suddenly surround and annihilate them.
"The northern captives are on guard, and they may not be able to make contributions when they go out of the city, but they will fall outside the city!" Wang Yan had no choice but to shake his head.
Not long after, the Qing army that pulled out the camp had already left the camp to the south, and the remaining Qing army saw that the defenders of Yangzhou were not fooled, so they were not hiding, and lined up outside the city gate to prevent Wang Yan's sudden attack.
Seeing this, everyone secretly Duoduo was cunning, it was true that he withdrew from the siege and went to Nanjing, and it was also true that he lured Yangzhou soldiers and horses out of the city.
Last night, Duoduo was reprimanded by Dolgon, knowing that Azig had forced to surrender to Zuo Menggeng's department trapped in Anqing, with 150,000 horses, and the army was about to break Huang Degong, who was on the front line of Wuhu in Chizhou, and then conquered Nanjing and set the world.
Azig has the merit of breaking Li himself, but he is trapped in the city of Yangzhou, if Azig is ahead of him in Nanjing, then Duoduo will have no face.
Although Duoduo and Azig were brothers, he could not fail to fight for this credit, but Yangzhou could not be attacked for a long time, which suddenly made him feel irritable.
Dorgon ordered to reprimand Dordor, making the faces of all the generals along his way look bad.
At this time, Li Shuitai admonished Duoduo, Yangzhou is not easy to break, and Nanming's Jiang waterproof division has been defeated, and the army is easy to cross the river, why not leave the division to surround Yang, and the main force will cross the river and go straight to Nanjing?
Duoduo was reprimanded by the edict, and he felt deeply ashamed in his heart, and he really couldn't break the promotion in a short time, so he listened to Li Shutai's words, and stayed in the solid mountain Ezhen Zhun Tower, Melle Ezhen Li Shuitai, Admiral Li Benshen, and the general soldier Bai Yongfu and other 80,000 horses continued to surround Yang, while Duoduo led a large army to cross the river and capture Nanjing.
On the tower of the city, Wang Yan and others watched the Qing army warships go south with the soldiers, the cannon roared on the river, the smoke of gunpowder filled the sky, and the heart suddenly felt sad, and there were even scholars who cried loudly at the head of the city, and their clothes were stained with tears: "The north captives are here, and my father and old man are all trapped!" ”
