In this pursuit, the knights of the imperial camp killed and wounded more than 800 foot cavalry of the left army, and the number of people who died in the cannibalistic trampling was countless, and they lost more than 70 horses, close to two and a half layers of the total, although the casualties were heavy, but compared with the results of the harvest, it was not worth mentioning.

After Huang and Zhang finished cleaning up the battlefield, the group dragged the wounded across the moat and returned to the city smoothly.

Zhu Dadian surrendered to his dignity, and took the general Zhang Tianfu, the general Yan Yingyuan, the guerrilla Chen Mingyu and others to personally go down to the city to meet the triumphant division. At the gate of the city, Zhu Dadian's originally fair face had been blackened by gunsmoke at this time, his lips were chapped, and he looked at Li Sanshi and other royal knights who had successfully broken through after chasing the enemy, with a look of joy and relief.

At this time, Huang Binqing and Zhang Tianlu came quickly with their family guards, and said excitedly: "We will not fail in our mission, the rebel cavalry retreated, and the left thief withdrew from the camp for dozens of miles!" ”

"Good! Good! Zhu Dadian's face sank like water, tried to restrain his excitement, and said: "Zuo Dian is a battlefield general, extremely cunning, repeatedly failed to attack the city, and will never give up, and order all departments, the city garrison must not be relaxed, beware of the rebel night attack!" ”

"Subordinates obey orders." After Huang, Zhang and others bowed, they summoned the generals, stepped up the deployment, and issued a military order.

Zhu Dadian shook the armor, solemnly comforted the knights of the imperial camp after the bloody battle, and promised that he would personally ask for merit to the soldiers, and never let the blood of the warriors be shed in vain.

Receiving the true care of the Governor, the knights of the imperial camp were greatly encouraged, regardless of the injuries on their bodies, they all wanted to bow and pay respects, but they were stopped by Zhu Dadian in time, and when these warriors who returned from the bloody battle were appeased, it was already dark.

On the fourth day after the outbreak of the Battle of Jiujiang, Zhu Youhua and his ministers also marched smoothly to the border of Anqing.

During the march, the people on both sides of the Yangtze River heard that the Son of Heaven personally raised a large army to fight against the rebellion, and at the risk of being bullied and extorted by the officials and soldiers, they carried pigs and sheep, and went to the wharf to greet the Son of Heaven.

The enthusiasm of the people made Zhu Youhua deeply gratified at the same time, but also felt that the responsibility is like a mountain, he smiled and met the people waiting by the riverbank, although there was a suspicion of inviting people to buy people's hearts but did not take advantage of them, those pigs, sheep and vegetables for the army he bought at a low price, and then transferred them to the accompanying ministers and sergeants to boost morale.

It wasn't until the mighty army left for a long time that the people found that the official army led by the Son of Heaven seemed to be very different from other Ming official army, other Ming officials and troops were better than bandits than the army, as the saying goes, bandits were like combs, soldiers were like grates, the people of the Ming Dynasty had not been ravaged by warlords and ruffians before, and it was rumored that the army of Ningnan Marquis Zuo Liangyu who raised the army "Qingjun side" was to grab where to go, where to grab it, where to go, chickens and dogs jumped everywhere, food was robbed, women were raped, bad things were done, what a bad star!

However, the army of the Son of Heaven was highly disciplined, ordered and forbidden, marched all the way, and did not commit any offense against the surrounding villages and fortresses, so that for the first time in their lives, they felt what a king was, and the people rejoiced, and their confidence in the pro-conquest army to defeat the rebels was greater.

In addition to dispatching troops and sending generals, Jiangbei Governor Plug Yinxi these days, he also called on the soldiers and civilians in the city to reorganize and repair the inside and outside of Anqing City, and actively prepare to meet the pro-conquest army, he sent his cronies to look at the city every day, only a few days later, his cronies saw the smoke and dust outside the east of the city from a distance, the flag was flying, knowing that the army of the Son of Heaven had arrived, and hurriedly flew to report that Yinxi was blocked.

Plugging Yinxi's whole body, leading Jingnan Hou Huang Degong, the chief soldier Tian Xiong, the chief soldier Ma Degong and others, under the protection of hundreds of superintendent battalions, opened the east gate and went out of the city to welcome the Son of Heaven. At this time, they were already able to look at the big flag with the word "Ming" floating from afar, and all of them raised their eyes to look at the big flag waving in the wind not far ahead.

Under the city wall, the military flag hunted, the swords and guns flashed, the sergeants of the Supervisory Battalion and the guards of Huang Degong's family stood in a neat formation, and they were set up, and in front of the city gate, Du Yinxi, who was dressed in silk armor and wearing a net scarf, stood under it. Behind him, there were more than a dozen generals in armor, and they raised their heads together, waiting for the army of the Son of Heaven galloping from afar.

When the Son of Heaven appeared in the field of vision, Du Yinxi had already led everyone to speed up his pace and walked forward, and when he arrived in front of the Son of Heaven, he didn't care about the dust on the ground, and knelt down and saluted: "The ministers knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" The entourage behind him also knelt down, not daring to raise their heads.

"Let's all be flat!"

"Long live thanks."

When everyone was saluting, Zhu Youhua had already carried the reins of the horse and slowly drove out of the crowd, only to see that he was burly, his face was delicate and dignified, the bridge of his nose was straight, and the whole person looked very heroic.

The arrival of the army led by the Son of Heaven has been in anticipation for a long time, and once they see the royal driver, a big stone in their hearts finally landed.

Before entering the city, Du Yinxi proposed to the emperor that after the Son of Heaven's army entered the city, it was best to patrol the city of Anqing for a week to calm the people's hearts and boost morale. Zhu Youhua completely agreed with this suggestion, and specially prepared a grand ceremony to enter the city, in addition to the 10,000 sailor troops moored on the Anqing wharf, the two battalions brought in, and nearly 8,000 imperial battalions, horse infantry and artillery corps all participated in this ceremony.

Led by the big flag embroidered with the word "Ming", the flag bearer slowly marched in, the wings of the generals of the imperial camp were protected on both sides, and they also rode slowly, and the large foot in the middle of the team sat the Son of Heaven Zhu Youhua, he was dignified and majestic, his attitude was calm, and he constantly saluted the military and civilian people who cheered on the road, and raised his hand from time to time to greet everyone, behind them was the eight thousand imperial camp foot riders with distinct armor and neat steps, all the same color leather armor, iron armor, thousands of fine and sharp bird guns, turtle doves and turtle doves, and the nails and leaves were sonorous and majestic when they walked, and they were mighty and majestic. Immediately behind the army were dozens or hundreds of large and small Hongyi and Fulong machine cannons dragged by mules and horses, and the muzzles of the guns were of different sizes, like the bloody mouths of monsters, terrifying.

It was the first time that the soldiers and civilians in Anqing City saw such a highly organized and disciplined army in the Ming Dynasty's economic army, and they were amazed and amazed.

Only the sergeants of the Huang Degong Department who stood on both sides of the road to maintain order were quite unconvinced, they still used their previous eyes to examine this luxuriously equipped Son of Heaven guard, thinking that these bright-looking guards were just silver-like wax spear heads, and they had to rely on them to really fight the rebels on the battlefield.
