The streets of Xicheng were crowded with green battalion soldiers wearing red-topped hats, pouring out like fishermen in the water.

They ran with their heads down, their expressions flustered, not one of them looking back, their pace hurried and chaotic, and they all wanted to flee from the city as quickly as possible.

As soon as Liu Qingtai left the city, the whole person woke up, and he didn't know whether it was a real faint or a fake faint.

He rode a war horse and poured out of the west gate with many Qing soldiers, heard the cheers in the city, and looked back after a long distance, and the army of King Lu wearing mandarin duck robes had already appeared at the head of the city.

Most of the Qing soldiers fled from the city gates, but there were still scattered green battalion soldiers in the city.

At this time, more than a dozen green battalion soldiers fled from the city gate in a hurry, and a team of Lu army bird guns chased out, knelt on one knee, raised their guns and aim, and a row of lead bullets were shot.

Several Green Battalion soldiers were shot in the back and immediately rushed forward to die, and one was hit in the leg and fell immediately, but was immediately set up and fled in panic.

The Gao Yuan army outside the west city did not block it head-on, the strength of this green battalion is still very strong, the quality is much higher than that of the Gao Yuan army, if it is forced to break the net, the Gao Yuan army outside the west city may not be the enemy, but they will not let the green battalion escape, after they fled out of the city gate in a panic, the Gao Yuan army, which had been on call for a long time, shouted to cover up.

They numbered tens of thousands, mixed with infantry and cavalry, and pursued them from behind, which was exactly what an irregular army of theirs was best at.

The green battalion soldiers rushed to flee westward, and from time to time some people were chased and hacked to death by the cavalry, ambushing the corpses all the way, the cavalry in front chased and killed, and the infantry in the back came up to strip the corpses naked, and those who did not pick it up continued to chase, and the quality was indeed worrying.

The Qing soldiers fled all the way, and after running for seven or eight miles, they entered the rolling hills, barely safe, but the Gaoyuan army was still in hot pursuit, and most of the Qing soldiers were driven to the front line of Gaozhuang and Huangqiao Town, and crashed into the Gaoyuan army on the western front.

Liu Qingtai knew that there were Gaoyuan bandits on the line of Gaozhuang, so he took a detour, he was glad that he ran fast and was not caught, but his situation was also very miserable.

The hills were not conducive to horseback riding, and he was not good at riding, and one of them accidentally fell down, and broke a leg, and now his face was pale, and the ten thousand horses under his command were almost all wiped out, and less than a thousand people were still with him, and it was sad to hear it, and to shed tears when it saw it.

He is now enduring the pain and riding on a horse, he looked at the generals around him, all of them were disgraced, turned to them and said: "You don't have to be discouraged, this defeat is not our fault, everyone cheer up and take the official out, as long as the official does not die, I will entrust the king to carry the flag for you!" ”

Liu Qingtai belonged to the Han Army Zhenghongqi, and he was able to speak in front of Kong Youde, and several green battalion generals were refreshed when they heard it, and thanked them again and again, as if they really forgot about the defeat just now.

Liu Qingtai actually didn't know his fate, Duoduo said that he would kill his whole family after defending it for less than a month, and he was broken by the thief army at this time, losing nearly 10,000 horses, whether he would be beheaded by Duoduo when he went back, it's really hard to say.

However, he can't take care of so much now, he is worried that these green battalion generals will not dare to return to Yangzhou when they see the heavy losses, so they choose to abandon him on the spot, or kill the surrendered rebels, so he made a promise first to stabilize them.

In the east of Nantong City, Zhang Mingzhen's banner appeared at the east gate, announcing that the city had been officially recovered.

This is the only city on land in Lu Jianguo except for the Simingshan base in Zhejiang.

Lu Jianguo's side has always wanted to have a foothold on the land, but Siming Mountain has never been able to develop, after all, the mountainous area at this time did not have sweet potatoes, corn and other crops to grow like in later generations, and the problem of eating could not be solved.

Now it is different to take Nantong, counting the land that is still under the control of the Gaoyuan Army, there is probably a place to go, which is not comparable with the land of several provinces held by the Longwu regime, but for the Lu Wang regime, which has a small stall and small internal contradictions, it is a gratifying and congratulatory event.

An notice was posted in the city, and after the army took control of the situation, Zhang Mingzhen entered the city on horseback, and he was a little excited in his heart.

At this time, he stopped at the corpse-strewn gate, one of the places where the battle was fiercest, and the doorway and the streets on both sides were littered with corpses of all poses.

Ruan Jin and other generals came to greet him, he was holding a cotton cloth on his face, only one eye was exposed, and blood was oozing out of the cotton cloth, still dripping.

He happily came to Zhang Mingzhen's horse, and saluted with a blood-dripping knife in his hand: "Supervisor, there is a lot of harvest, there are 100,000 stones of grain, and there are also a lot of silver and copper coins. The most gratifying thing is that there are nearly 10,000 sets of cotton armor in the city, and this battle can be drawn! ”

Zhang Mingzhen listened but didn't answer, stared at his face for a while, and then said earnestly: "Ruan Jin, you are a general under the command of this governor, and your duty is to command and deploy operations, remember not to rush and kill in front of the battle in the future, understand?" ”

Ruan Jin listened to it for a while, and hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "The last general is in a hurry for a while. ”

Zhang Mingzhen looked at him and said, "If there is a next time, the governor will punish you." ”

"Yes, the last will know!" Ruan Jin hugged his fists and promised, although he was said a few words by Zhang Mingzhen, his heart was even more happy.

"Alright, let's go take a look at the armor first!" Zhang Mingzhen smiled slightly, waved his hand and said.

When the next group of people came to the warehouse, they opened it and saw that there were piles of cotton armor discarded in it, and Zhang Mingzhen picked up one casually, none of which were new armor.

At this time, a person who changed into Hanfu, cut his braids, and held a turban was brought in, and without Zhang Mingzhen's questioning, he saluted and explained: "See the superintendent for the little one." At the beginning of this year, a batch of new armor was shipped from Nanjing, replacing the original old armor of the Tongzhou battalion, and all of them were stacked here, totaling 9,400 pieces. ”

The Qing Dynasty entered the customs for almost five years, and the family foundation left by the Ming Dynasty was almost finished, and the Qing Dynasty could not let the green battalion soldiers always wear the clothes and armor of the Ming Dynasty, so this time they saw the green battalion soldiers with red-topped hats in Tongzhou.

Zhang Mingzhen threw down the cotton armor and asked casually, "How many of these armors can be used?"

"Returning to the superintendent, sixty percent can be used, two percent can barely be used after repairing, and the remaining two percent are basically scrapped."

This batch of armor was originally the Ming army system, no need to modify, it can be used directly, he can select elite equipment from the Gaoyuan army, collect a group of good combat power to supplement into his command, and then set up a new army, Cha Gaoyuan army can be worth cultivating, and obey the orders of King Lu's generals to equip, and gradually control this more than 100,000 people of the righteous army.

Zhang Mingzhen immediately turned around and asked, "What is your name and what position did you hold before?" ”

"The villain Zeng Xi is the master of Nantong."

"These armor, you organize people to clean them out, everything that can be repaired must be repaired, if it is done well, you will be exempted from the crime of Yi, you are still the master of Nantong, if it is not good, the governor will punish the crime together."

Zhang Mingzhen gave an order, and the man immediately knelt on the ground to receive the order, and Zhang Mingzhen immediately went out of the warehouse, and said to the people around him: "Go and see the wounded soldiers!" ”

When the general heard the words, he was about to lead the way, but Zhao Shuxiang hurriedly ran over and said to Zhang Mingzhen: "Supervisor, I was ordered to chase and kill the defeated army, but on the way I met a messenger from Shou County, Duoduo has broken through Shou County, and General Ding led the remnants of the army to retreat to Rugao. ”

When Zhang Mingzhen and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, Ding Keze's 50,000 people were defeated so quickly, and Duoduo came so quickly.

Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan immediately said: "Supervisor, without further ado, the lower officials will leave for Wuchang and ask the Hengyang Domain to send troops." ”

Zhang Mingzhen nodded and said solemnly: "Then everything will be entrusted to Zhang Jianjun." ”
