After Wang Guoxing left, Li Hongfei quickly ordered Guo Sheng's first division to be transferred from Xuanwu Lake to Yuhuatai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Up to now, Li Hongfei can basically determine that the Qing army will not attack from Xuanwu Lake, leaving 15,000 forbidden troops, with the shore artillery group arranged at Xuanwu Lake, which is enough to resist the sneak attack of a small Qing army.

Later, Li Hongfei issued another order to transfer all the remaining troops in the city to the Yuhuatai area, and even he himself would go to the front line to command the battle.

Azig has been on the verge of Yuhuatai, Duoduo is eyeing Jiangyin again, Li Hongfei's retreat is now all blocked, if you want to break the deadlock, you must take the initiative to attack, at least you must find a way to hurt Azig first, otherwise the two armies will be flanked, and Nanjing will be difficult to preserve.

In addition to the 15,000 elite infantry troops in Xuanwu Lake and the 5,000 heavy cavalry, the remaining 70,000 troops in Nanjing City are about to leave for Yuhuatai, and even the heroes of the rivers and lakes stranded in the city have also received notices, asking them to go to the front line to harass and attack the Qing army.

Not long after, Wang Guoxing sent someone to report that the saint agreed to transfer heavy cavalry to rescue Jiangyin, and sent a message: "Li Menghui is the governor of the city defense, and all military movements related to the defense of Nanjing are in charge of the governor." ”

Zhu Youzhen's meaning is obvious, he doesn't care how this battle is fought, he just wants the result.

With Zhu Youzhen's promise, it was more convenient for Li Hong to fly, because rescuing Jiangyin could be regarded as guarding Nanjing.

Because Wang Guoxing took the initiative to ask for his life this time and asked to lead the cavalry to rescue Jiangyin, he didn't have time to come over and say goodbye to Li Hongfei.

Li Hongfei had no choice but to send a message to inform Wang Guoxing that all the Qinwang troops who passed through Jiangyin and Changzhou did not need to go to Nanjing, and they would directly return to Jiangyin on the spot to support Jiangyin.

On the night when Wang Guoxing led his army to leave Nanjing, the flying pigeon from Baoshan Town also arrived in Nanjing.

The 2,000 Suzhou new army in Baoshan Town, plus the 1,000 Qi family army sent from Chongming Island (Qi Hongying's main force left, and there were only 3,000 defenders on Chongming Island) under the leadership of Zheng Sen, marched towards Jiangyin.

"I don't know if Jiangyin can hold it, whatever, insist on one day at a time, so that I can hurry up and consume Azig's troops." Li Hongfei muttered to himself.

Huang Degong and Ma Shiying's army still have about seven days to reach the vicinity of Yuhuatai, so Li Hongfei's troops have to resist the Qing army for seven days, and it is best to constantly wear down the spirit of the Qing army within these seven days.

At that time, the Qing army will not be able to attack for a long time, and the Ming army will have reinforcements arriving, whether to fight or withdraw, presumably Azig will also weigh it carefully.

As for the elimination of this Qing army, Li Hongfei did not have such a big appetite, and he did not dare to have that extravagant hope, and even when he sent people to contact Huang Degong and other troops, Li Hongfei also repeatedly emphasized that he only sought to solve the siege of Nanjing, and if the Qing army took the initiative to retreat, it should not be easily pursued.

Li Hongfei's message, very to the appetite of the bigwigs, everyone is not stupid, no one is sure that the Qing army will be completely annihilated in the wild, if the above gives a death order to encircle and annihilate, the bigwigs are estimated to be still standing still at this time, how can they be like this time, rushing to Nanjing for days.

After reading the biography of the flying pigeon, Li Hongfei finally put his mind at ease and began to pack his bags, preparing to concentrate on dealing with the battle in Yuhuatai.

"My lord, it's getting late at this time, do you want to go to Yuhuatai again on an unknown day?" The guard reminded in a whisper.

"No need, the army has been assembled, how can I leave the rear alone?" Li Hongfei refused.

Originally, he was going to Yuhuatai in the afternoon, but in order to wait for the flying pigeon in Suzhou to pass the book, so it has been delayed until now, and now in Jiangyin, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and the rest can only be left to fate.

And Li Hongfei's battlefield is in Yuhuatai, he can't control the fate of Jiangyin, and the fate of Nanjing still has to be well grasped.

Due to the transfer of the army to the front line, Li Hongfei did not have many guards around him, only one guard platoon, and it was not far from Yuhuatai, so in terms of security, Li Hongfei did not think too much.

It was late at night, and the streets were deserted after the city was closed for the night, and the occasional passing patrol quickly gave way to the guards after showing their signs to the governor's palace.

The whole street was surprisingly quiet, except for the footsteps of the guards, only the wheels of the carriage remained, and the crunch of the bluestone pavement was pressed, perhaps because of the war, even the wild cats did not dare to appear.

Just when Li Hongfei was lying in the carriage and drowsy, dozens of big men suddenly rushed out from a street and alley, some of these people were armed with big knives, some were armed with strong crossbows, and some of them were holding grenades in their hands.

"......."

The grenade fuse was pulled and thrown towards Li Hongfei's team.

"Grenade! Lie down! "The guards are trained to defend against grenades and know how to reduce casualties.

Although most of the grenades thrown by the other party were not accurate, one grenade rolled under the carriage in which Li Hongfei was riding..........

The grenade made a soft sizzling sound, like a chant from hell.

One of the guards spotted the grenade rolling over, and without thinking about it, quickly got under the car, and the whole person lay on top of the grenade.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded.

The explosion of the grenade killed the guard on the spot, and the powerful impact threw his body into the air, hitting the bottom of the carriage and overturning the carriage.

And Li Hongfei in the car, first heard the shouts of the guards around him, and then a loud noise came from under his feet.

Before he could scream, the carriage was overturned, and Li Hongfei's whole person rose into the air, his head first hit the roof of the car, and then the whole person smashed to the ground along with the carriage.

The carriage couldn't bear such a toss, and the moment it landed, it completely fell apart and buried Li Hongfei in it...........

At the same time, a series of explosions sounded around them.

"Your Excellency...... Are you alright, my lord? ”

As soon as the explosion stopped, the guards hurriedly rushed up, removed the broken wood from the carriage, and looked for Li Hongfei.

"Ahem........ I'm fine, hurry up and defend against the enemy. Li Hongfei replied, saying that he was fine.

Fortunately, today's grenades are only black powder, mainly relying on fragments to kill, and Li Hongfei dislikes the carriage being too bumpy, so he deliberately padded a few layers of cotton wool underneath, otherwise even if there are guards blocking it with their bodies, Li Hongfei is estimated to be no better just now.

The leader of the men in black not far away also discovered the situation near the carriage, so he said loudly: "Thief Li is not dead yet, everyone go up together and kill Thief Li!" ”

Soon, a group of black-clothed people first fired a round of strong crossbows, and then drew their knives and swarmed up, hand-to-hand combat, the power of "shaking the gun", the Qing soldiers were well understood, how could they give this group of guards a chance to shoot.

The guards couldn't shoot, so they could only draw their daggers and entangle with the man in black.

The guard platoon leader squatted, dodged the oncoming broadsword, and quickly inserted the dagger into the abdomen of the man in black.

After quickly eliminating an enemy, the platoon commander put away his sword to meet the next person, and said loudly: "This is the city, hold on to a stick of incense for a while, and we will have reinforcements." ”

The guard platoon knew their advantage, and the men in black also understood it, so the offensive became more and more ferocious.

The number of this group of black-clothed men was about fifty, which was already more than the guard platoon, and with the preemptive strike, they threw seven or eight grenades, killing and injuring several guards.

At this moment, behind the man in black, seven or eight "reinforcements" with weapons arrived.

This group of people with weapons in their hands, and they are not wearing military uniforms, and dare to ignore the curfew, who will it be if it is not the reinforcements of the men in black?

was about to be overwhelmed, and the other party came with so many "reinforcements", how could this be good?

Just when the soldiers of the guard platoon were almost desperate, the "reinforcements" who came from the rear made a shocking reversal...........

"Iron Gun Gate Yang Xiu is here, don't hurt my family's governor!" A slightly chubby man shouted loudly, and a spear shot quickly, piercing a man in black who was fighting with the guard platoon from behind.

"Songjiang Yao Qisheng, I'm here to help the Governor!" A personable son, while reporting his name, holding a sword flower in his hand, one person entangled three black-clothed people, and he was still at ease.

"Lin'an Divine Fist Feng Sanyou is here, who dares to fight with me?"

"Flying on the grass in Laiyang, Xue Zhen .........."

“...............”

It turned out that these people were all heroes of the rivers and lakes, so they had to report their names before the fight, and Li Hongfei on the side couldn't laugh bitterly.

You must know that with the martial arts of these people, if there was a sneak attack just now, it would have been over a long time ago.

However, after Li Hongfei heard Yao Qisheng's self-reported name, he felt very familiar, and he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while..........

"You and other heroes in the rivers and lakes, are you also in charge of the affairs of the government, don't you want to be a chivalrous guest, and you are willing to be a lackey of the court?" The man in black at the head saw that he was not good, and began to speak discordantly.

Since ancient times, the imperial court and the heroes of the rivers and lakes have been like fire and water, the court hopes that the people will be stable and the country will be ruled by law, while the heroes of the rivers and lakes like to act chivalrous and righteous, and draw their swords to help each other when they see injustice.

As a result, some of the wanton chivalrous knights were listed as bandits by the government.

Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, in order to expand their sphere of influence, Dongchang and Jinyiwei wantonly absorbed people from the rivers and lakes, basically the people who went along with the prosperity and the people who went against them died, so few of the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the Ming Dynasty who were not absorbed were willing to do things for the imperial court.

This is also the main reason why the man in black sows discord.

"I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, killing a few Qing dogs is also chivalrous and righteous!" Yao Qisheng fought back.

"That's right, it's better to be a lackey of the Ming Dynasty than to be a slave of the Qing court!" Yang Xiu was even more blunt.

After the Yangzhou incident, the people's wisdom has awakened, and they know the brutality of the Manchus, whether they are ordinary people or chivalrous people, as long as they have a little conscience, they will not easily compromise with the Manchus.

This is also the consequence that Duoduo ordered the slaughter of the city, but he didn't expect it..........
