The 25th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

Kuah Chau.

This was originally an important stronghold of the Qing army, but now there are no people, all the garrisons have withdrawn to Yangzhou, this place and the Ming army are separated by a river, rifled artillery to the bank of the Jingkou River, cannonballs can cover the entire Guazhou, this is still guarding a hair!

In fact, not only Guazhou, from the mouth of the three rivers to Liyang, the Qing army along the line all gave up the defense, the main line of defense in Taizhou, Yangzhou, Chuzhou, Chaohu line, still along the river is only Anqing, there is the eastern boundary of the Qing army's control area, the Ming army's control area is only to Chizhou.

As for the Huangshan and other places to the south, in fact, it doesn't matter, the Qing army has only two divisions of Yue Shenglong and Zhao Hongcan on the southern front, with Nanchang as the center, and the front line is in Xinzhou, and the Huangshan defense line has no defense, and the regimental training of the local gentry is in charge of itself, anyway, as long as the Ming army does not enter the water in the brain, it will not cross the vast mountainous area of 500 miles, as long as it is stuck in Anqing and Xinzhou, Jiangxi will be safe.

These two people are actually the same as the Emperor of the Soil, but they still hold their respective court titles, when Yang Feng attacked Beijing before, Kang Mazi ordered them to attack urgently for 800 miles, and even the title of first-class duke was opened, but the two agreed very happily, but they did not move a single soldier. The situation was similar in several other places, Yin Huaxing in Taizhou only casually fired a few cannons to pull down, Zhang Pengxi in Yangzhou sent a few warships out of the Sanjiang estuary, but as soon as the Ming army was engaged, they retreated to the Huai River, and the defenders of Anqing also only fired a few cannons casually. At this time, they burned incense and kowtowed, all they begged was that the Ming army would not beat them, how could they still have the courage to take the initiative to provoke the Ming army, Yang Feng only had a few brigades in the north? The main forces are still in the south!

Fortunately, the Ming army never set foot in Jiangbei.

But today is different.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, a large cavalry team is neatly arranged, these cavalry are all Arab horses under their crotches, and the officers at the front even ride a white horse with shoulders higher than the height of an adult man.

"Raise your gun!"

Hu Guang, the commander of the dragoon battalion of the Ming Army, put the saber on his shoulder with his right hand, and the British pure-blooded war horse that controlled him with his left hand roared.

Behind him, the whole battalion of 1,002 officers and soldiers, riding horses, lined up in two dense horizontal columns with a length of nearly a mile, and at the same time raised the Zhangba spears in their hands, like a dense forest, all the spear blades reflected the cold light in the sky, and the triangular dragon flags hunted and danced in the wind, and the wind blew through the silver cuirasses on the soldiers' bodies, blowing their scarlet cloaks, and they vented their murderous aura with neat and silent movements.

"Salute!"

Hu Guang shouted again.

One thousand and twenty-four spears began on the right side and hung down like waves, all the blades of which were touching the ground.

And at the same time, Yang Wang Ye sat on his rhinoceros, slowly walked forward from the right side of the queue, and dragged his Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his left hand, the rhinoceros saddle hung his meteor hammer on one side, and his two steel weapons on the other side, the three weapons combined weighed more than eight hundred catties, even if it was a rhinoceros weighing four thousand catties, carrying him and these things was also a little heavy.

Yang Wang Ye walked from the front of the queue with a look of majesty, when he walked to the far left, the last cavalry also hung down the spear in his hand, and then looked at their supreme commander with reverence, Yang Wang Ye didn't say anything, just nodded approvingly, and then pulled the reins, the rhinoceros turned around and returned the same way, until it stopped in the middle of the queue, Yang Wang Ye raised his Qinglong Yanyue knife with one hand, and swung outward very imposingly, the tip of the knife was pointing north.

"Let's go, this king will take you to Yangzhou!"

He yelled.

With a snap of the reins, the rhinoceros turned and walked north.

Behind him, Hu Guang immediately followed, and then two standard-bearers quickly stepped forward, one holding the Pixiu flag of the Ming Army, and the other holding the Yang character handsome flag, and then starting from the middle of the cavalry team, every four cavalry groups gradually went forward and followed side by side, and gradually dragged out a team more than a mile long, and went straight to Yangzhou more than 30 miles away under the leadership of Yang Wangye.

And behind this team, one prisoner after another, is constantly passing through the pontoon bridge on the Yangtze River.

At the same time, attracted by this scene, more and more people in the vicinity were attracted to it, and when they learned the identities of the people in these prisoner cars, they immediately ran back to their villages as fast as possible to spread, and then the people in Guazhou, the suburbs of Yangzhou, and even the vicinity of Yizheng poured out. When Yang Feng's team walked more than 30 miles and arrived outside the Anjiang Gate in Yangzhou, hundreds of thousands of people had gathered on both sides of him to watch the excitement, and even those north of Yangzhou began to rush over, and the whole scene was crowded.

But there was silence in the city of Yangzhou.

All the city gates are closed, the city wall is empty, not only the common people did not appear, even the Qing soldiers did not appear, the entire city wall is empty, not a single figure can be seen, not to mention the Anjiang Gate and the adjacent Rujiang Gate, that is, the Zhenhuai gates in the north of the city on the other side are also empty.

The reason is very simple, all the Qing troops are under the city wall, all blocked at various intersections, blocking those ordinary people who try to climb the city wall.

They didn't dare to let the common people see it.

Because of the proximity to the front line, coupled with the fact that Yang Feng came once, the people in Yangzhou City were not very stable, coupled with the complete cessation of Cao Yun, Yangzhou was in a depression, the unemployed people made trouble every day, and the flag people who fled from Nanjing, Jingkou and other places often clashed with the local people, it can be said that the entire Yangzhou City is like a powder keg, and any spark may be detonated.

What's more, Yang Feng's move is no less than taking a torch to point up, at this time, the new Liangjiang Governor Zhang Pengxi, who presided over the defense of Yangzhou, issued a strict order, no one is allowed to enter the city, not allowed to go out of the city, whether it is ordinary people or soldiers, because he knows that those green battalion soldiers are not very safe, after all, the current Qing Dynasty is stormy, and those green battalions are not immune to rebellion.

Anyway, Yang Feng came with such a few cavalry, and it was definitely not for the siege of the city, since this is the case, leave him alone.

It should be said that Zhang Pengxi is still a loyal minister, he also did this for Kang Mazi, after all, once Yang Feng was provoked to attack Yangzhou, then Yangzhou must be unstoppable, once Yangzhou was captured by the Ming army, the tens of thousands of hardcore crops that had been dodged a while ago would be all over, those are all old and weak women and children without a young man, and they will be slaughtered by others at that time, so if you can provoke Yang Feng now, don't provoke it, the shrinking turtle should still be appropriate!

"That's all they have to do!"

Yang Feng stood on the bank of the ancient canal outside the Anjiang Gate and said with a sneer.

"Lord Wang, do you want to transfer infantry to capture this Yangzhou?"

Hu Guang said.

"No, get down to business first, you can hit here whenever you want."

Yang Feng said.

"Quick, bring all the prisoners here."

Hu Guang immediately waved and shouted to the back.

Those prisoner carts immediately stepped forward, and the prisoners in the prisoner cart with dead faces on their tails were looking blankly at the ancient Yangzhou City in front of them, which were the descendants of Duoduo and other Qing generals during the Battle of Yangzhou, adding up to more than 100 people in total, and these people will be directly beheaded here like those descendants of Nikan, in order to comfort the 800,000 people who died in Yangzhou City. Among them, Duoduo's seventh son, the king of Doroxinjun, Dong'e, the eighth son, Feiyangu, and the prince of Heshuoyu, who was still alive, will be Ling Chi.

"Take the first offender!"

Yang Feng said.

"Take the first offender!"

Hu Guang shouted.

Soon the three prisoner carts were opened, and Dong E, Feiyangu, and Ozha were dragged out of it, they had been on hunger strike for a long time, and they were hung with glucose and the like by the Ming army medical staff every day, so in order to save their lives, they were subjected to these 3,600 knives instead of Duoduo.

"Feed one to each of them."

Yang Feng handed Hu Guang a small bottle and said.

As for what was inside the bottle, needless to say, Hu Guang took the elixir and walked to the three prisoners, the soldiers next to him were setting up a shelf, the three professionals invited from Beijing were very dedicated to making preparations, and several Nanjing executioners gave them a hand to learn the technique by the way, after all, according to the current situation, there will be a lot of tartars to chop in the future, and this kind of professionals is also very scarce.

Hu Guang ignored them, directly pinched the mouths of the three prisoners in turn and stuffed the pills into them, and after closing their mouths, they pinched their noses, and soon the pills were swallowed by each of them.

After a while, the shelf several meters high was also erected, and the three of them were dragged up, at this time they had recovered their spirits because of the effect of the pill, and even more energetic than usual, one by one or crying or cursing Yang Feng or cursing their own Lao Tzu, and struggling desperately, of course, it was useless to struggle at this time, and they were soon tied to the high platform one by one, and the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people around them widened, and even on some of the taller buildings in Yangzhou City, there were people trying to look at this side.

After Yang Wang Ye personally read out the sacrificial text, as the order for the execution was issued, the three executioners waited for one by one, strangled them with fishing nets and began to take the small blade meat.

"Lord, the hot air balloon said that someone in the city Tartar has gone up to the city wall."

At this moment, Hu Guang looked at the hot air balloon above his head and said to Yang Feng, where an observer was constantly waving a small pennant in his hand, using the flag to inform him of the situation in Yangzhou below.

"Get the battleship ready."

Yang Feng said indifferently.

On the river surface of the old canal next to him, on more than a dozen river warships, a seven-and-a-half-pound rifled gun was immediately aimed at Anjiangmen, two miles away, and at the same time, the Ming army's dragoon battalion and an infantry battalion transporting prisoner carts were also quickly ready for battle.
