Chapter 318 Ma Xiaofang's death
After Li Fugui led people to cooperate with Jinyiwei to clean up the remnants of the enemy, he came to the cabinet office. The unlucky ghost on duty in the cabinet today is Feng Ziyong, the old Feng was scared to death just now, and a large number of Qing troops entered the palace. But then seeing that there were not many people in the Qing army, he immediately organized the guards in his hands to fight with the Qing army. Lao Feng can be regarded as having experienced the battlefield, and this has to be replaced by several other literati in the cabinet, and Bao Buqi has now hanged himself and martyred Zhu Hongsan. "Zhu Hong's three words: Your mother, the master is not dead yet!"
Seeing that his old subordinate Li Fugui led someone to save him, Feng Ziyong stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Fugui, why are you here!" ”
"Lord Feng, I saw the fire in Beicheng, and I was afraid that Your Majesty and Lord Feng would make a mistake, so I led my men to the rescue!" Li Fugui is also shameless, obviously to save his son, but now he says that he is here for Zhu Hongsan and Feng for their own use. Lao Li is a cunning man, and he knows that helping people in danger is more effective than giving any gifts, and at this time, seeing Feng Ziyong, he naturally flies around.
Feng Ziyong was very grateful, and thought in his heart that his old man would be useful, and it seemed that he would support Li Fugui well in the future. If Feng Ziyong knew Li Fuguilai's true thoughts at this time, he might directly use a knife to hack this old guy to death.
"Fugui, it just so happened that you brought people here, and there are more than 1,000 people in the Qing army rushing inside, you bring everyone here, go and rescue the driver!"
Seeing that there were more than 200 more people under his command, Li Fugui's confidence increased greatly, and he didn't say much nonsense, he bowed his hand to Feng Ziyong and led people to the harem, which was very similar to the demeanor of a general.
Now that the sky is bright, Li Fugui has just led people into the harem, and he heard a shout of killing in front of him.
The harem has been fighting for two hours, and Zhang Sanqiang has taken a guard company of more than 200 people, plus more than 200 Han generals, and some strong eunuchs, to withstand Li Chengdong's several attacks.
On the other side, the Qing army was killed and wounded, and there were corpses everywhere outside the small building, most of which belonged to the Qing army. However, Zhang Sanqiang's side is also the end of the strong crossbow, the musketeer's ammunition is all used up, and now the musket plus the bayonet has completely completed the gun formation, fortunately, Zhang Sanqiang brought some * grenades, and it is these * grenades that have lasted so long, or they would have been killed by the Qing army.
Now Zhang Sanqiang's defensive position has retreated to the small building, and only through the cement wall of the small building can he resist the bows and arrows of the Qing army. Just now, the Qing army rushed into the small building, if it weren't for Zhang Sanqiang with a hundred soldiers to fight out, now the people in the small building would have become ghosts under the knife of the Qing army.
During the battle just now, Ma Xiaofang also took over with the Qing army, but fortunately, Ma Xiaofang was wearing heavy armor and was not injured.
Zhang Sanqiang looked at his subordinates and said to Ma Xiaofang: "Queen, we still have less than twenty hand * grenades left, and the Qing army will not be able to withstand another charge, so let's take the queen and the prince to kill them!" ”
Ma Xiaofang shook her head slowly and said, "Sanqiang, if you can't do it for a while, you take the prince out and kill it, don't worry about me!" ”
Zhang Sanqiang dared to answer, but he knew Zhu Hongsan's character, and he ran away and threw Zhu Hongsan's wife and children away, and he didn't end well.
The Qing army on the opposite side was also tired, Li Chengdong didn't expect that there were less than 500 people on the opposite side, and the combat effectiveness was so strong, and more than 200 people had been killed on his side. Li Chengdong looked at the sky, it was almost noon now, and he was attacking for the last time in a while, if he didn't work, he would take people out to kill him, and wait until his son Li Yuanyin's 3,000 men and horses came to attack Guangzhou.
Li Chengdong looked at the soldiers beside him and said, "Brothers, come again, you can attack it with more strength, catch Zhu Hongsan, and each person will be given a thousand taels of silver at that time!" ”
The Qing troops under his command are all veterans who have accumulated years, so naturally they can't see the other side. Hearing what Li Chengdong said, they all stood up and prepared to charge again.
At this time, a Ming army came out behind the Qing army, wearing colorful colors, everyone had it, some wore the color of the new army uniform, some wore the old Ming army mandarin duck robes, some wore brocade clothes and Wei Feiyu suits, some wore white shirts and blue pants Dongchang Fanzi, and the most ridiculous one was a green robe petty official wearing the color of a seven-grade civil official uniform. Could it be that those literati are so powerful? Li Chengdong saw the people coming from behind, and hurriedly divided 500 people to parry these new forces.
But as soon as the Qing army took over, it suffered a loss, because the twelve men brought by Li Fu had ammunition, plus the fifty soldiers of the new army guarding the cabinet, no one could get two rounds of ammunition. The first salvo knocked down more than 30 Qing troops, and the second salvo knocked more than 20 people to the ground.
Li Chengdong was shocked when he heard the gunshots, and at this time the battle was fought so far, both sides relied on perseverance, and now the other side has a musket that is too unfair to their side.
And Zhang Sanqiang, who heard the gunfire in the small building, was overjoyed, and the gunfire meant that reinforcements were coming.
Zhang Sanqiang hurriedly said to Ma Xiaofang: "Queen, there are gunshots, it seems that reinforcements are coming!" I took people out to fight with reinforcements before and after, trying to defeat these Qing troops! ”
Ma Xiaofang nodded and said, "Okay, the top three, you can go!" Hongu is here to give you a press! ”
Li Chengdong saw that the Ming army in the small building also rushed out, and knew that he had no hope of winning today. At this time, Liu San, the captain of his own army, ran over and said in a low voice: "Great marshal, the brothers on the periphery have found that the Ming army brigade has entered the city!" ”
Li Chengdong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How many people!" ”
"About four or five thousand men, all musketeers!"
Li Chengdong's face turned white, and the more than 300 musketeers in the palace fought for a long time, and they didn't need to live for another 5,000!
Now Li Chengdong's rogue nature leaked out, and he pulled Liu San over and whispered: "You pick a hundred henchmen, and quietly withdraw with me!" Let's go out by the west gate. ”
After arranging it, Li Chengdong raised his head and glanced at the small building fiercely, he lost his troops in front of him, this time he was going to run away, and he must have slaughtered Guangzhou City with a large army!
At this time, Li Chengdong found that there was a woman wearing a palace dress standing at the door of the small building, and it seemed that her status should not be low.
Li Chengdong thought about it, this is the palace, and the women in it are all Zhu Hongsan's women, this woman is gorgeously dressed and should be an important person.
Li Chengdong looked at the distance from Xiaolou, now he can have more than two hundred steps, and ordinary horn bows can't shoot so far, but he has a treasure bow.
Li Chengdong is a powerful guy, and the bow and arrow he uses are enough to have one stone, and the range is three hundred steps. Li Chengdong took out his bow, put on an arrow, and shot an arrow at the woman, who fell down in response.
It seems that the woman is an important person, and the Ming army on the opposite side saw that the woman was shot, and immediately retreated back to the small building, while Li Chengdong took the opportunity to lead people out.
The woman who was shot down was Ma Xiaofang, Li Chengdong's archery skills were still good, and this arrow was hitting Ma Xiaofang's neck. Zhu Luo saw that his mother was hit by an arrow, and hurriedly stepped forward to watch. Li Chengdong's arrow was an armor-piercing arrow, and the arrow was an inch long, and half of Ma Xiaofang's neck was cut by the arrow blade. Blood gushed out like a spring, and it seemed that he could not live.
Zhu Luo was so frightened that he hurriedly blocked the wound for Ma Xiaofang, but the major artery was broken, and it was something that could be suppressed by manpower.
A few seconds later, a third of the blood in Ma Xiaofang's body flowed out, and her consciousness had begun to blur, but before she died, Ma Xiaofang grabbed Zhu Luo's hand and said with difficulty: "Remember what your mother told you, take care of your brother!" After speaking, Ma Xiaofang closed her eyes.
Li Chengdong had just left the palace with the remaining more than 1,000 people, and he was encountering reinforcements rushing in. Duan Fei was also exhausted when he ran with people, and less than 2,000 people rushed to the outside of the palace, and when they saw the Qing army coming out, they immediately raised their guns and shot.
The Qing army had already become a frightened bird, and more than 100 people were immediately knocked down, and the others scattered and fled.
Seeing that the Qing army was scattered, Duan Fei immediately organized a company as a unit to search for the Qing army in the whole city. And Duan Fei hurriedly entered the palace with two companies to see how the emperor was doing.
When he came to Xiaolou, Duan Fei saw Zhang Sanqiang and learned that Queen Ma Xiaofang was dead, Duan Fei and Zhang Sanqiang were both scared into a cold sweat, afraid that Zhu Hongsan would not know how to punish himself.
Li Chengdong, as a competent rogue, will prepare the back road for everything, and when he attacked the palace, he left a hundred war horses, and he ran away when he was not ready for a big event, but he didn't expect to use it.
Li Chengdong took his 100 henchmen, did not take the main road but took the small road, and when he was about to reach the north gate, he saw a carriage on the side of the road, and the handlebar style of the car had already run away, and the car was crooked on the side of the road. Li Chengdong found that there was movement in the car, and when he lifted the curtain of the car, there were two women inside, one of whom was dead, it seemed that he had been slashed in the back, and his face was rushed down and lying in the car, and a little girl was looking at him in horror.
Li Chengdong saw that this little girl was wearing silk and satin and a pearl headdress on her head, and she was not an ordinary child at first glance. Li Chengdong's heart moved, he wanted to flee back to Fujian, and he happened to take a hostage, this little girl should be the child of the official eunuch's family. Thinking of this, Li Chengdong stretched out his hand and grabbed the little girl and put it on the horse, and fled from the city on horseback.
Li Chengdong, who escaped from Ascension to heaven, led people to run for a day, and finally arrived at Shengang Village, a hundred miles away from Guangzhou City, when it was dark, which was also the place where he agreed to meet Li Yuanyin.
Li Yuanyin is already here in Shengang Village, he arrived yesterday, but he didn't expect to see his father flee back today.
When Li Chengdong saw his son, he was relieved and immediately fell off the horse. Li Yuanyin hurriedly asked people to bring honey water to his father to take to replenish his strength.
It took a long time for Li Chengdong to recover and said, "Son, organize people quickly, let's return to Fujian!" ”
"Father, why? Isn't it going well over there in Guangzhou? ”
"The Ming army we met in Nanzhili was the army of the king of Chu, and I only met 300 people in his palace, and I actually had a draw with 2,000 of my people. In the end, fortunately, I escaped in time, or this old life would have been lost in the city of Guangzhou. ”
Hearing Li Chengdong say this, Li Yuanyin hurriedly ordered to quickly pull out the camp and prepare to return to Fujian.
