"Protect the people, but it's already like this, how can we protect the people, besides, we are now entering the city overnight, isn't it just right to help those people in distress in time, if we wait until dawn to act, I'm afraid that some people who shouldn't have died have already died, in that case, what's the use." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tian Mixiu asked more puzzled.

"Hey, you, you, let me say what you say, yes, if we enter the city now, we can wipe out the Qing army in the city, but you want the place, if we really do this, it will be difficult to ensure that those Qing troops will not jump over the wall in a hurry, at a critical time, hold the people hostage and threaten us, you know, we are now the army of the court after all, and these are the people of the court, if those Qing troops really hold the people hostage, what should we do, it's not just that we can only watch them flee, at that time, Isn't it that the bamboo basket is empty, and if you wait until dawn, it will be different, by then, the flood in Wuchang City will definitely have subsided, at that time, the exhausted and frightened Qing army will definitely want to escape as soon as possible, so that time is a good time for us to arrest them, and more importantly, it will not hurt the innocent people. Song Xiance said.

"Oh, that's what happened, and it's true, and only you scholars can think so hard." After listening to Song Xiance's words, Tian Jianxiu completely understood.

"Okay, while there is still a period of time before dawn, you have a good rest first, when the morning dawns, I'm afraid there will be no time to rest if you want to, by the way, I warn you, after entering the city this time, don't hurt the innocent people, otherwise, no one will be able to save you at that time." Song Xiance said again.

"Look at the sky, it's midnight now, I'm afraid Li Yan and they should have already started, that situation, it makes people tremble when they think about it, it's just a pity, in order to take down the Manchu Tartars, I don't know how many innocent people will suffer, and I don't know how many people have lost their lives in this flood. Thinking that this is all an order issued by this official, this official feels that his hands are covered with sticky blood, and his mouth also exudes a strong smell of blood. "Just when Li Yan launched the big flood plan here, in the Ming army camp outside Yueyang City, which was hundreds of miles away from them, Shi Lei's group was also waiting silently.

"Your Excellency, don't think so, you know, although this time the flood plan will implicate innocent people, but at most tens of thousands, more than 100,000 casualties, although these people seem to be a lot, but compared with the whole world, they have become insignificant, adults should know, the importance of our battle, if we lose this battle, then what will be the consequences, the Manchu court will occupy this vast land, so as to quickly expand its power, and then, calmly launch an attack on us, when the time comes, Let's not talk about how many innocent people will die, let's just say how many of the soldiers under our command will die on the battlefield at war with the Manchus, and finally, if we are really annihilated by the Manchus because of this, then the whole world will fall into the hands of the Manchu court, in that way, what has become of our Han people, will be the same as the Yuan Dynasty, become the slaves of the Mongols, and when the time comes, let those Manchu Tartars take it away, and at that time, how many innocent people will suffer and suffer because of this, Therefore, not only is there no mistake this time, but this decision is quite correct, and it is very correct to exchange the death of tens of thousands, more than 100,000 people for the rebirth of more people. Seeing Shi Lei, who was caught in deep self-blame, Tong Chenfu hurriedly stood up and persuaded him.

Although, at the beginning, Tong Chenfu was also resolutely opposed to Shi Lei's decision, but after Shi Lei made the decision, he immediately became a resolute supporter, and when Shi Lei was now in self-blame, he was relieved.

With Tong Chenfu taking the lead, the remaining officials in the big tent also spoke up one after another.

"Yes, my lord, what Mr. Tong said is right, Ci is not in charge of the army, we send troops to fight, in order to be able to win, as long as we can achieve victory, anything can be done, I think Guan Erye didn't also drown in Pi back then, but in the end, didn't there be no loss to his reputation, therefore, give up the small and take the big, this is the law of the battlefield, therefore, you don't blame yourself." Fang Junchi, who was on the side, immediately spoke.

"Yes, yes"

...................

Looking at his subordinates who kept speaking to persuade him, Shi Lei's face also leaked a few smiles, although he was a little reluctant, but it still played a role, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, which was related to the fact that his soul had the memory of his previous life, after all, he had undergone more than 20 years of modern education in his previous life, and he was very uncomfortable with this kind of innocent practice.

Although, Shi Lei also knows that in this era, if it weren't for his appearance, I'm afraid that now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has begun to go south, and the original history of 'Jiading Three Days, The three massacres in Yangzhou have already happened, just the innocent Han people who died tragically in these two places, there are many more people lost because of the flood this time, not to mention the Sichuan massacre that will happen in the near future, thinking of the original rich country of abundance, after the occupation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it has become a sparsely populated horror place, you can think of how many people the Manchu Qing killed in Sichuan, although, in the later Qing history, the black pot that reduced the population of Sichuan arrived, Zhang Xianzhong's body, but as long as it is a clear-eyed person, you know, this is actually something that cannot happen at all。

The sense of self-blame in his heart did not make Shi Lei feel decadent, but aroused the fighting spirit in Shi Lei's heart that did not admit defeat, and made him want to dominate the world quickly, so as to end this troubled world of endless wars, so as to return the people to a peaceful world where they live and work in peace and contentment.

"Okay, your kindness is understood by the official, since this matter has happened, then the official will not say anything more, after this flood, the Qing army in Wuchang City will definitely be greatly injured, and when the time comes, Li Yan will also easily take Wuchang City, in this way, Wuchang City will fall into our hands, since Wuchang City has been captured, then we have successfully cut off the route of Azig's escape, and on the other hand, Changsha City is not to think about it, so, now, look at it, Yueyang City has completely become an isolated city, and Azig has been heavily surrounded by us, so we have to think about how to capture Yueyang City as quickly as possible, so as to end this battle. Shi Lei suddenly cheered up and said again.

Sure enough, hearing Shi Lei's words, everyone in the big tent couldn't help but leak a trace of excitement, everyone here knew that as long as they broke through Yueyang City in the next battle, and took Azig and the Qing army in Yueyang City, then the Manchu Qing Dynasty would completely lose its offensive ability, and the rest was just defense, and when the time came, the strength of the Shaanxi Ming Army, it was only a matter of time before they wanted to defeat them, as long as they defeated the Manchu court, the remaining small forces were not their opponents at all, At that time, that is, when the world was reunified, when the time came, they were all heroes who unified the world, thinking about the great achievements of those founding heroes in history, how could they be calm in their hearts.

.................................

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning passed through the clouds and mist in the sky, shining on the earth, with Li Yan's order, more than 100,000 Ming troops, mighty towards Wuchang City, although the flood last night was huge, but it was only a temporary raging, after the momentum passed, all the rivers and mountains, and began to slowly flow into the Yangtze River waterway, but, after the ravages of the flood, Wuchang City has a big change, the ground outside the city has become potholes, like a swamp needless to say, There were all kinds of messes inside and outside the city, but the most of them were the dead bodies crawling in the mud.

Most of these dead bodies were soldiers of the Qing army, because the flood came too suddenly, and these Qing soldiers outside the city had no time to escape, so the most casualties were imposed. Of course, among the corpses of these Qing army soldiers, there are also the corpses of some ordinary people, these are some innocent people, looking at the corpses of these people, Li Yan, Shen Ping, these generals can't help but leak a little unbearable look on their faces.

Although he couldn't bear it in his heart, Li Yan still knew that now was not the time to think about these things, although after the impact of yesterday's flood, the Qing army must have suffered heavy casualties, but there must still be a remnant of the Qing army, if he couldn't quickly wipe out these Qing troops, and at the same time quickly stabilize the situation in Wuchang, then he still couldn't lead his troops south to join Shi Lei and jointly attack the Azig army in Yueyang City.

It's a pity that at this moment, I saw a herald rushing quickly and told him, "Enlighten General Li, General Tian, who entered the city in front, has led the army to completely surround the Manchu Aobai, and now Aobai is leading thousands of people to fight with General Tian, so General Tian asked his subordinates to come and report to General Li." ”

It turned out that after seeing the flood-ravaged Wuchang City, Ao Bai thought that this time because of his own mistakes, which led to the defeat of the southward army, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty may also decline because of this, therefore, Ao Bai no longer has the desire to live, so, last night, after the flood slowly receded, he began to gather the remaining Qing army, wanting to fight with the Ming army to the end, but unfortunately, his wish was not achieved, the original more than 100,000 Qing troops, in addition to the tragic death in the flood and escaped, The rest of the people are less than 10,000, and in addition to low morale, no rest for a night, physical strength and other reasons, they were actually surrounded by Tian Jianxiu with a group of Ming troops, which has to be said to be the sorrow of a general.

After hearing the words of the herald, Li Yan immediately led everyone to the place of battle, but unfortunately, when Li Yan led the army to arrive, the battle was nearing the end, Aobai, the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who had repeatedly made military exploits for the Manchu Dynasty, had been cut off by Tian Jianxiu, and the thousands of Qing troops who followed Aobai were also quickly annihilated under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army.

When Li Yan saw the bloody and blurred head of Ao Bai presented by Tian Jianxiu, in addition to a sigh in his heart, he had a look of loss.

"See Xiu, Ao Bai is here, where is Wu Sangui, isn't he with Ao Bai?" After a sigh in his heart, Li Yan suddenly asked with some doubts.

Hearing Li Yan's question, Tian Jianxiu, who was very proud for a while, immediately said with a calm face, "His grandmother's, Wu Sangui's dog thief, is really a mouse, this situation can be run away by him, after the original subordinates entered the city, the first thing was to find Wu Sangui, the dog thief, in order to avenge the king and those dead brothers, but unfortunately, Wuchang City was searched all over, but he was not found at all, but found Ao Bai this dog tartar, according to the ideas of his subordinates, Wu Sangui's dog thief, I'm afraid that I have already fled last night when I saw that the situation was not good, and it seems that if I want to kill him, I am afraid that I will really go to Yueyang. ”

Many generals of the Ming army, after hearing Tian Jianxiu's words, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, you know, most of the generals here are former generals of the Dashun army, so they put Wu Sangui's switch into the Manchu court, thus extinguishing the domination of the Dashun army in the world, and even killing the traitor of King Li Zicheng, which is hateful, which is why in this battle, Shi Lei will let Li Yan lead the troops to attack Wuchang City, in order to let Li Yan, a group of generals under Li Zicheng, Let them have a chance to avenge Li Zicheng, but unfortunately, with such a good opportunity, they actually let Wu Sangui escape, how could they be happy in their hearts.

"Okay, Wu Sangui ran away, the world is so big, we will catch him sooner or later, when the time comes, whether it is cramping and peeling skin, or bruising bones and ashes, let everyone dispose of it, but now, we still have to do the things in front of us first, although Wuchang City has been taken by us, but it is dilapidated, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, therefore, our task is still very important, and this general will immediately lead the army south to join Lord Shi and reasonably attack Yueyang City, therefore, we can only in the shortest possible time, Let Wuchang City come back to life, so, our next responsibility is still very important, do you all understand? Li Yan said.
