When Lin Fengxiang saw the messenger sent by the Yiwang King, and then received the will of the East King, telling him to immediately withdraw the siege of Huaiqing and return to Yangzhou by the same route, he couldn't tell what kind of mentality he had.

Looking at the detailed withdrawal plan on the will, Lin Fengxiang tilted his head and looked at Zeng Lichang, the prime minister of Xia Guanyouzheng who came to deliver the letter in person, "This will is really detailed enough, and even the ferry port we should take has been chosen." ”

Zeng Lichang smiled, "Master Lin, things are indeed a little special, otherwise I wouldn't have asked me to come all the way here to find you." From Yangzhou to here, according to the withdrawal route for you, I have personally surveyed them one by one, and it is indeed an excellent route. I had 200 swordsmen with me, and I didn't encounter any obstacles in between. ”

"Thank you, brother, for being meticulous and doing a sentry for us." Lin Fengxiang showed a smile on his face, shook the edict in his hand, and put it on the table, "The army is impermanent, and the military situation will also change at any time, an edict is so detailed, it may not be" He laughed twice and didn't say any more.

"Come on, your Marquis Lin is also an unpredictable prophet," Zeng Lichang raised his hand and pointed, "The Yellow River crossing I passed through is all Ji Wenyuan's soldiers and horses, could it be that you also expected in advance that I would come to pass on the edict of the withdrawal of troops?" ”

"I don't have Zhuge Liang's two shots, I just obeyed the orders of the Wing King and made some preparations in advance." Lin Fengxiang laughed out loud, laughing and laughing, he suddenly shook his head, stared at Zeng Lichang and asked, "Is there something wrong with Tianjing, how can the Northern Expedition be suddenly canceled?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I just heard the edict from the Eastern Palace, telling my people that the eighth and ninth sons of the Heavenly Father have descended to earth. Now they are crowned King An and King Ning. Zeng Lichang said with a smile.

"Hehe, it can't be someone who is possessed, right?" Lin Fengxiang looked disapproving.

"No," Zeng Lichang said solemnly, "the officials in Beijing, including the Heavenly King, have all witnessed them flying down from the sky. ”

"Could there be such a thing?" Lin Fengxiang didn't seem to believe it.

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe it." Zeng Lichang heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the big tent, and knew that it was Li Kaifang coming, so he stood up, looked at Lin Fengxiang and said with a smile, "When I left, I also received an edict from the Yangzhou and Zhenjiang garrisons to designate some people, and I heard that they were going to Tianjing to form a new army. You have concentrated the elite of our Celestial Dynasty here, and if you are lucky, you may be able to return to Tianjing soon to see King An and King Ning. ”

In the afternoon, another fierce battle was launched under the city of Huaiqing.

The earth shook as the rumbling drums of war, the sound of cannons, the sound of horses' hooves drifting by and drifting away like the wind, and the shouts of hoarse men. The cold glow of countless green and cold blades connected into an ocean, making the sun shy of it, secretly hiding behind the clouds, and refusing to come out again.

Yu Bingtao looked at the tide that was surging up endlessly, retreating, and surging up again, facing the long-haired people who seemed to have no fear at all in the face of death, and at the same time of gnashing their teeth, they couldn't be a little unadmired and regretful. If the soldiers of our Qing Dynasty are like this, why do they sign those humiliating covenants with foreigners?

"Lord Yu, it seems that Long Hair is a little exhausted." A general manager who was in charge of commanding the armed forces organized by the various courtyards and assisting the green battalion soldiers in defending the city pointed to the city and said with some pride.

Yu Bingtao also found that although today's attack and momentum of Long Hair were more ferocious than in the past, when it came to the root of the city wall, it seemed to have lost that tenacity. "Don't be careless. Long Hair has spent more than 20 days outside the city, and he has to take care of the restraint behind Lord Katsuho, and there are always times when he is tired. Hold on for a few more days, and I guess we can break the siege. As he spoke, he looked down at the rather heavy knife he was carrying in his hand every day, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, if he really connected with the long-haired short soldiers, could he cut people? Whatever, he's going to lose it soon, anyway. Thinking of this, looking at the overwhelming long-haired people outside the city, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, maybe he also thanked these long-haired people, it was they who helped him achieve a miracle.

The fierce battle continued until dusk, and there was no end in sight. The battle of blood and fire in the world made God feel sad too, and its face began to become gloomy, and with its loud and dull sighs, the tears of the bean big flowed down. At first, it was speckled and dotted, then it was a line of beads, and finally it was like a scoop.

With God's intervention, both sides finally died down.

Yu Bingtao returned to the yamen, cleaned the rain on his body, and began to write a report to the imperial court, "Today, the long-haired people's attacks on Huaiqingzhi are continuous, and they are extremely rampant. The ministers braved the artillery fire, and led the green battalion soldiers and the village warriors to fight with them to the death, and finally made Changmao look at the city again and sigh. Under the city of Huaiqing, the long hair and blood accumulate into a river, and the corpses are stacked like a mountain"

After writing, he gently put down the pen in his hand and admired it several times. He leaned back, closed his eyes, stretched his legs comfortably, and was just Huaiqing, in his own hands, he actually became impregnable, long live the saint, and he would not forget his own

Under the cover of heavy rain and night, Lin Fengxiang withdrew from the camp with the last group of soldiers.

He looked back from time to time, looking at the camp behind him as always, looking at the swarthy city wall of Huaiqing in the distance, as the chief general of the Northern Expedition, he was more sorry now.

"You have concentrated the elite of our Celestial Dynasty here, if you are lucky, you may be able to return to Tianjing to see King An and King Ning soon." However, when he remembered Zeng Lichang's words in his mind again, he seemed to have expectations in his heart again.

He resolutely turned his head and no longer looked back, "Wait, sooner or later, one day, I, Lin Fengxiang, will come back, not only in Huaiqing Town, but also in Beijing, to the Forbidden City" He wiped the rain from his face vigorously, and there was a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.
