"My lord, what do you think it is?"

Zhao Fulu, a soldier of the blue flag of the Han army, pointed to the distance and shouted to the staff leader behind.

The latter hurriedly raised the clairvoyant.

In his field of vision, there were more than a dozen cavalry horses galloping wildly, although the distance was too far to see clearly, but the same blue cotton armor on these people as them was still very recognizable, it was obvious that the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners were withdrawn from outside, and during this time, there were occasionally Eight Banners that were scattered in eastern Zhejiang and survived running back, anyway, there was nowhere else to go in Jiangnan except here.

"There's someone behind them."

Zhao Fulu, who has excellent eyesight, suddenly shouted.

Na Zuo Ling hurriedly lifted the clairvoyant mirror, and then the silver light flashed in his vision, and he realized that there were more cavalry behind these cavalrymen with blue flags, at least more than a hundred people, all wearing silver armor and holding frighteningly looking spears in their hands.

"Quick, raise the beacon, the Ming army has arrived!"

Zuo Ling immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his head, and he subconsciously shouted, on the chimney not far from him, a soldier hurriedly lit a beacon fire, and the billowing wolf smoke conveyed the most terrifying news to the officials and gentry in Nanjing City who were frightened three times a day at the fastest speed.

The Ming army is coming.

The Qing soldiers who immediately reported the news hurriedly rushed down the city wall and went straight to Nanjing.

Well, the outer Guo is actually not the familiar Nanjing City, that is actually the inner city, the outer city of Nanjing is so vast that it is scared to death, the circumference of the fortifications that enclose the entire Purple Mountain is more than 100 miles, in fact, it connects some defense points around Nanjing, and this defense line is not within the scope of the Qing army, because it is too vast, there are less than 60,000 troops in the city, how to defend the defense line of more than 100 miles?

The real line of defense of the Qing army was in the inner city, which was known as the city of Nanjing.

And Zhao Fulu's assistant leader is actually vigilant, but after discovering that the Ming army is just a small group of cavalry, they did not retreat to the inner city according to the predetermined plan, because at this time, the assistant leader found a very serious problem, there was a person in the Qing army of the Zhenglan Banner who was being hunted down and killed.

"Fuhai, did your second brother follow Prince Jane?"

He shouted at one of the soldiers.

"Yes, he is Prince Jane's personal bodyguard!"

The soldier said.

Zuo Ling's cold sweat broke out again, if he didn't recognize the wrong person, one of those cavalry was Tuhai's second brother, and Tuhai's second brother was Prince Jane's personal guard, so the blue cotton armor veteran who was protected by Tuhai's second brother and others in the middle......

"Quick, go out of the city to answer, it's Prince Jane who is being chased!"

The leader exclaimed.

Well, that's really Prince Jane, Yabu escaped from Danyang in the chaos, and then was targeted by a team of Ming cavalry, and as a result, he chased all the way from Danyang to the city of Nanjing, like a maggot attached to the bones, poor Prince Jian is also the Tianhuang nobleman of the Aixin Jueluo family, the grandson of Zierharang, the hereditary iron hat king, how could he have suffered such humiliation, and was chased like a lost dog, several times he thought about simply turning back and fighting with these bastards, and he was worthy of his ancestors, But they were all pulled hard by those ignorant guards.

Looking at the Yaofang Gate in the distance, Prince Jian couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

But he did not notice that at this moment two of the horsemen who were pursuing him suddenly stopped, turned over and dismounted as fast as they could, and rushed up the high slope beside him, and then took two muskets with sights from their backs and aimed them nearly a mile away. Immediately after the two pulled the trigger, two bullets suddenly drilled into Yabu's war horse, and the already exhausted war horse screamed, and fell to the ground with the inertia of galloping wildly and threw Yabu out directly.

The dozen or so guards on both sides couldn't hold it back, and rushed past him one after another, and then turned around, two of them quickly dismounted and ran over to help Yabu up.

Fortunately, Prince Jian was not too seriously injured, and was soon helped into another horse, and continued to gallop towards Nanjing City, seeing that the Qing army that responded at the open city gate had come out, but at this time, the two snipers behind him completed the loading, and then pulled the trigger again, and after the two special bullets flew over a distance of nearly seven hundred meters, they once again drilled into the body of the war horse under the Yabu seat, and poor Prince Jian had to fall out again.

The guards had to stop again.

But at this time, the Ming cavalry behind had also chased close enough, and they stopped and raised their horse pistols on their horses, and after a chaotic burst of gunfire, those guards were shot and fell off their horses.

But at the same time, the Qing army led by the leader galloped in.

"Quick, escort the prince back to the city, here we are!"

Zuo Ling shouted in awe.

Yabu, who was covered in blood, looked at Zuo Ling with a relieved gaze, and hurriedly mounted his horse with the support of the guards.

"Good minion, this king will not forget you."

He said with a look of emotion.

"Don't worry, the slaves are desperate to protect your safety."

After Zuo Ling finished speaking, he raised the flintlock pistol in his hand and shouted very heroically: "Brothers, kill the thief!" ”

In the chaotic roar, more than 100 soldiers of the Han Army were urging their horses with flintlock pistols in their hands, and rushed straight towards the Ming army that was arrayed not far away, and the latter's hands also raised their spears one after another.

Of course, Jab didn't have the time to care about them.

Prince Jane urged the horse, and the horse neighed and spread its hooves......

Uh, it stuck on the ground again, and the unlucky Prince Jane was like a dead dog for the third time today, and was thrown out by the inertia of the war horse, this time with his face close to the ground, and the hard sand of the official road knocked him out in an instant.

On the mound behind, the two Ming snipers looked at the maximum range of two hundred and fifty zhang on the ruler, and high-fived each other excitedly, although they were fighting war horses, and the target was relatively large, but the bullets within 800 meters were not missing, or created the farthest results of the Ming army's rifles, of course, this largely depends on the special rifles and bullets in their hands, after all, there is no sight, let alone hit at this distance, it is good that they can see the outline of the target clearly.

The hapless Prince Jane, struggling to get up, looked back at the gunfire with a sad and angry gaze, as if he was silently shouting at the two unscrupulous fellows, but he still hastened to change another horse with the help of the guards and continue to run.

Almost at the same time, a series of dense gunshots rang out behind him, followed by chaotic collisions and screams, he hurriedly turned back again, the cold sweat on his head immediately broke out, and he saw that the Ming cavalry was almost side by side in a wall, colliding with the cavalry of Na Zuoling, the terrifying Zhangba spear instantly penetrated the body of one Qing cavalry, and the remaining Qing cavalry continued to crash into those spears because of the inertia of the charge.

"Quick, run!"

He screamed in horror.

Behind him, the Ming soldiers had already thrown down their broken spear shafts, drew their sabers and jumped over the corpses of the Qing army, and rushed straight towards him.

Yabu desperately whipped his horse, and rushed towards Yaofangmen, who was already waving to him in the distance.

It's close! It's close!

He could even see the soldiers waving to him in the city gate, the road leading to Nanjing, and the relatives in the garrison city, that is, the former Ming Imperial City, and see ......

Guilty gunshots rang out suddenly.

Poor Prince Jane fell out for the fourth time today, fortunately he was strong, if ordinary people would have fallen to death, but he might as well have fallen to his death now, because just as he slammed to the ground, and cursed the evil Ming soldiers in grief and indignation, the latter had already surrounded him like a pack of fierce beasts, and the last four remaining guards rushed forward loyally waving their waist knives, and then followed by a chaotic burst of gunfire, and the poor four loyal guards were all beaten into a sieve.

"Prince Jane, huh? Let's go, it's not easy to ask you to make a trip, I've chased for almost two hundred miles, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and serve the king of the iron hat, our lord of the prison country can name him to sacrifice to the tomb of filial piety! ”

The sentry commander of the Ming army, who led the team, put the short gun back up, and shouted at his soldiers at the same time.

Soon several soldiers rushed up, tied up Yabu with ropes, and even blocked his mouth, and then found a horse and threw him on the horse, and the sentry commander spat at the few Qing soldiers who were silently watching on the door of Yaofang with disdain, and waved his hand and went straight to Jurong with his booty.

At this time, the city of Nanjing was already full of chickens and dogs.

All the men who can hold weapons in the Eight Banners stationed in the city, up to fifty or sixty to thirteen or fourteen, all have armor and knives and guns in hand, and even some strong women are armed, and they are murderously driven out of the garrison city, at the same time, all the city gates are closed, and those wealthy gentry in the city, such as Cao Yin and others, have also rushed out of the house with their house slaves, as for their goal, of course, it is not to guard the city wall, at this time the Ming army has not yet come.

Their job was to arrest ordinary people from door to door outside the garrison city.

Whoever dared to resist was directly hacked to death, and then all the men, women, and children who were caught were driven up to the city wall, and they were forced to bring their own dry food, and even those young and middle-aged people were simply tied up and strung with ropes to prevent trouble. This is Dajia, Ah Shan and others in accordance with Kang Mazi's instructions, the study of the method of defending the city, they want to set up more than 100,000 human shields on the city wall of Nanjing, and use these ordinary people to block the artillery fire of the Ming army, anyway, Nanjing City is a dead end for all Qing troops, so since this is the case, they simply pull the Han people in the city as a burial, if Yang Feng does not want these people to die, then he will never be able to break through Nanjing.

After all, those weapons of the Ming army, whether it is du qi or demon fire, it is indiscriminate attack, once the Qing army is used, it is of course death, but these people also have to die, and even those flowering bullets will also cause a large number of deaths of the people, and if you don't use du, don't use demon fire, don't use flowering bullets, just rely on soldiers to climb the city and fight, if the Ming army can still break through Nanjing, it is simply a fantasy.
