PS: (Thanks to the "lote" book friends for the tip!) ）

Just as Duoduo's face was pale and he was staring unwillingly ahead, the leader of the guards beside him came over to report: "Master Qiqi, the messenger of Lord Lan Bai has arrived!" ”

"Bring him here!" Hearing this, Dodor suddenly lifted his spirits. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the night before yesterday, he had sent Lan Bai and Zhuo Luo to lead more than 10,000 people and horses to Hengzhou first, and designated Lan Bai as the main general. This place is about one hundred and twenty miles away from Hengzhou, and it seems that Lan Bai sent a messenger to report back immediately after the advance arrived at the city of Hengzhou, and it should not be bad news, but that this partial division attacking Hengzhou has made progress.

"I've seen Prince Yu! This is a handwritten letter from Lord Lan Bai, asking me to present it to Prince Yu in person! After a thousand calls, the messenger handed over a letter sealed with fire paint, and said, "I have lived up to the expectations of Prince Yu with the blue flag and the white flag, and have trapped the puppet Ming Emperor Zhu Yujian in Hengzhou City!" ”

"Really?" Dodor was overjoyed, and quickly took the letter, and after examining the fire paint and seal on the seal, he pulled out the letter paper and looked at it in the light of the fire.

What Rambai said in his letter was exactly what the Messenger said. Yesterday evening, the vanguard composed of Manchurian cavalry with blue flags and white flags arrived at the city of Hengzhou, defeated the Ming army outside the city that was preparing to escort Emperor Longwu from Hengzhou, and forced Emperor Longwu and his party back into the city. It's just that due to the lack of large siege equipment, there was no siege for a while. After Lan Bai and Zhuo Luo led their followers to Hengzhou City, they immediately blocked all the roads out of the city, and sent messengers to report to Duoduo quickly.

"Hahaha...... "It's been a long time since Dordor has laughed so heartily." God really helped me in the Qing Dynasty, and now even the puppet emperor has become a turtle in the urn, and the puppet Ming is really declining, and the general trend has gone! Who else can stop me from the process of unification of the whole world? ”

Originally, Duoduo was still worried that he would lose the other, but in order to kill Pang Yue, he let Emperor Longwu slip away. Now it seems that this concern can be dispelled. Right now, the Ming army and Emperor Longwu in Hengzhou City have been trapped. Considering the emperor's safety, the Ming army in the city categorically did not dare to take the initiative to attack out of the city, and with their strength, even if they attacked, they could only end in a crushing defeat. As long as the matter here in Hengshan County is over. Emperor Longwu's monarchs and ministers were even more difficult to fly.

After laughing, Duoduo looked at Hengshan County with a little more chill in his eyes, and the residual sneer at the corner of his mouth was particularly hideous, and he ordered the guards beside him: "Pass the order to go down and suspend the attack, but the various departments that have already entered the city must hold the first line of the city wall tonight, and then launch a general attack after dawn tomorrow, and be sure to completely wipe out the Minggou Pang Yue's department!" In addition, send a fast horse to tell Lan Bai. Let him be sure to keep the puppet emperor trapped in the city. After this king solves the Ming dog in Hengshan County, he will immediately lead the main force to meet him. If you let go of the puppet emperor Zhu Yujian. This king wants his head! ”

"Huh!"

Duoduo looked at the messenger sent by Rambai again, and commanded the other guard, "Take him down and rest!" He was able to deliver the news in time, and he was rewarded with twenty taels of silver. And the rest of the men who came with him were to be rewarded with ten taels of silver each. ”

Hearing this, the messenger, who had traveled for a day and a night, almost forgot the exhaustion of his body, knelt on the ground and said gratefully: "Thank you, slave, Prince Yu!" ”

The capital city of Hengzhou

The gates of the city have been closed, and the drawbridges of the moats have been lifted. Although the fiery red flag of the Ming army was still fluttering on the head of the city, the defenders all had nervous and even frightened faces on their faces. The atmosphere around them was almost suffocating.

Outside the city, tents were set up in the east, north, and south directions, and pure white and blue Qing army flags with red edges floated in the air. A large number of Manchurian soldiers galloped arrogantly around the city, shouting and scolding at the houses in the city from time to time, and laughing wildly. The cowardice and incompetence of the Ming army greatly accelerated their arrogance, and some Qing soldiers even removed their helmets, revealing their blue scalps and slender money rat tails on the back of their heads, as if they were deliberately demonstrating against the Ming army.

On the Xiangjiang River in the west. It was densely covered with the warships of the Wuchang Naval Division of the Qing Army with green flags, and the muzzles of the black holes on the ships were aimed at the capital city of Hengzhou.

……

In the imperial study of the palace, Emperor Longwu paced back and forth with a solemn face, judging from the rhythm and speed of his steps. His heart was very anxious. Huang Daozhou, the first assistant of the cabinet, Fu Guan, the second assistant, and Lu Daqi, the right attendant of the military department, stood to the side, all with dark clouds on their faces.

At this time, Emperor Longwu felt deep remorse, and he realized that he had made another mistake. After receiving the news that the Qing army was approaching Hengzhou, although he issued an order to evacuate Hengzhou, he did not order to travel lightly. The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace and the subordinates of the princes and ministers spent a lot of time packing their luggage, and it took more than a day to pack it up. When Emperor Longwu finally relented and forcibly ordered the courtiers and vassal kings to set off lightly, the vanguard of the Qing army arrived at the foot of Hengzhou City. Yang Guodong, the general soldier of Hengzhou, who was in charge of the front station, was defeated by the Manchurian soldiers with blue flags as soon as he left the city, so the team that set off had to retreat into the city again. Subsequently, a large number of Qing troops arrived, with more than 10,000 men and horses on land and water, blocking all the roads out of the city.

I knew this earlier, I should have set off lightly at the beginning like when I left Fujian Province, and maybe I could get rid of the pursuit of Dongyu! Emperor Longwu sighed in his heart: It's a pity that Pang Yue is not in Hengzhou, and few people can see the situation as thoroughly as he does, and even if they can see it, they don't dare to say it casually. I was confused for a while, and it was difficult to give up those altars and jars at critical moments, and I failed to set an example for the princes and ministers. It's just that it's a little late to regret it now, and I just hope that the soldiers and horses of King Qin from other places can arrive in time.

After a while, Huang Daozhou and Fu Guan exchanged glances and said to Emperor Longwu, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be too sad about this matter. The old minister secretly thought that the failure to leave the capital city of Hengzhou this time was not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Emperor Longwu glanced at Huang Dao Zhou, did not speak, and continued to pace back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Huang Daozhou knew that this was Emperor Longwu acquiescing to what he said, so he continued: "There are many cavalry in the army of the Eastern Prisoners, and they are moving quickly, even if our monarchs and ministers can leave Hengzhou for a day or two in advance, I am afraid that they will be caught up by the Eastern Emperors. Instead of being surrounded by the Donglu on the road, it is better to rely on this Hengzhou capital city to resist the Dongyu soldiers. The city of Hengzhou is majestic, and there are still nearly 20,000 available soldiers and a large number of people in the city to be recruited, and it is not impossible to hold on. When the soldiers and horses of King Qin from other places arrived one after another, the situation could be alleviated. ”

Fu Guan echoed: "Your Majesty, Lord Yuanfu is right. After receiving His Majesty's edict, the Xuan Department of the Huang Dynasty in Youxian County will definitely come as soon as possible, and the more than 30,000 men and horses led by the Zhu Ge Department have also gone south from Changsha and rushed to Hengzhou day and night. After the arrival of these two troops and horses, they will definitely be able to thwart the arrogance of the Eastern Captives and protect His Majesty thoroughly. ”

At this time, Emperor Longwu, who was in Hengzhou, had not yet received the news that Pang Yue led Huguang Town to contain Duoduo's main force in Hengshan County. The messenger sent by Zhu Dadian was intercepted and killed by the Qing army's sentry on the road, and the Qing army blocked all the roads in and out of the city after resisting the city of Hengzhou, so the news channel has been completely cut off.

Lu Daqi also comforted: "What the two elders said is reasonable, Weichen, as the right attendant of the military department, will definitely keep in mind his responsibilities and make a modest contribution to defending the capital of Hengzhou." Please relax your Majesty, as long as there are ministers waiting for you, you will do your best to protect Your Majesty and protect my country. ”

Emperor Longwu showed a wry smile: "I already know the intentions of the three Aiqing. Speaking of which, this matter is due to the fact that I was unable to make a decision in time, which led to the current situation. But now regretting it is useless, and the current plan is to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

Subsequently, Emperor Longwu looked at Lu Daqi again: "Lu Aiqing, you are the right attendant of the military department, and you are temporarily in charge of the affairs of the military department, and you are fully responsible for the recruitment of the people in the city, the raising of grain and grass, and the distribution of weapons and armor in the arsenal, etc., and you will be fully responsible, just inform Yu Zhen afterwards." In addition, this time, the eastern captives are very sharp, and the monarchs and ministers, soldiers and civilians in the city need to work together to deal with it calmly. Therefore, I would like to personally visit the soldiers of each battalion as soon as possible, and you will arrange this matter for me! ”

"Obey the order!" Lu Daqi took a deep look.

……

Outside the city, the Manchurian cavalry was still galloping back and forth arrogantly around the city, shouting and scolding. The last bit of afterglow after sunset stretched their figures for a long time.

"Zhu Yujian come out! Zhu Yujian get out! ......" At this time, the object of the Manchurian soldiers' scolding had directly become Emperor Longwu, although the tone was a little weird, but it was still listened to by the Ming soldiers at the head of the city.

"These brutes actually call the Holy Lord by his name!" At the head of the city, Xiao Kuang, the general soldier of Li Jing, who had led the army to King Qin of Hengzhou before, was furious, slapped his palm on the head of the city and shouted, "You dare to insult and abuse wantonly!" Is it tolerable or unbearable, bring Lao Tzu's bow! ”

Xiao Kuang is an upright person, he can't rub the slightest sand in his eyes, and the trust and respect of Emperor Longwu make him loyal and determined to repay him with death. Now when he heard that the Manchurian soldiers actually scolded Emperor Longwu by name, of course he was furious.

"My lord, it's useless." Deputy General Yao Youxing listened to the shouting and scolding outside the city, and also frowned, "These bastards won't get too close at all, and their bows and arrows won't hit them." Their repeated shouting and scolding were nothing more than an attempt to provoke us out of the city for a decisive battle. We'll ignore it for now, and we'll settle with them when reinforcements arrive. ”

At this time, Xiao Kuang, who was full of righteous indignation, naturally did not know that in the history of the time and space in which Pang Yue lived in his previous life, Emperor Longwu had also been scolded by the Qing soldiers by name and thanks. And it was even worse than it is now. At that time, Emperor Longwu fled to the vicinity of Tingzhou, with only 500 soldiers left, besieged in a small temple by the Qing army Li Cheng in the east, and the Qing soldiers outside also shouted and cursed like this. Soon after, Emperor Longwu was captured in Tingzhou and later died in Fuzhou.

"Then you can't just forget it, you have to let them understand some rules and have a longer memory!" Xiao Kuang commanded loudly, "Archers prepare, shoot hard at the Tartars outside!" If you don't shoot Lao Tzu, you won't be punished, and if you shoot Lao Tzu, you will be rewarded! ”

Before long, a rain of black arrows sprinkled out of the city. A small number of Qing soldiers who were too close to hide were shot dead on the spot, and most of the remaining Qing soldiers who were shouting and scolded turned the reins and scolded away from the city wall.
