On the second day of breaking through from the city of Nanjing, there was rain in the sky, Bo Luo was not clear, and Tun Qi and the more than 5,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners under his command were even less clear, Jiangnan had entered the unique rainy season. From the day the rain began, there was no intention of ending, and for thirteen consecutive days, there was no possibility of a sunny day.

From Nanjing to Chuzhou, it is necessary to pass through Langya Mountain, and along the way, it is necessary to pass through more than ten city passes, large and small, but Bolo does not dare to get in touch with the guards of these city passes. The main force of the southward army is the Green Battalion, the Green Battalion is now in turmoil, and the various departments are rushing to disperse, many of them have re-surrendered to the Ming army, Bolo and Tunqi have become worthy of the name in their eyes, at this time, Bolo will no longer believe in these Han people no matter what.

Bolo even made up his mind that if he could return to Shanshan alive and return to Beizhili, even if he wanted his life, he would have to give him an excerpt and advise him that he could no longer reuse these Han people no matter what, these people were not of my race, and their hearts would be different.

The Chengguan controlled by the Qing army along the way could not be trusted, which meant that Boluo's 5,000 soldiers and horses had become a lone army that had no source of supplies. Along the way, Bolo gathered more than 2,000 stragglers, but at the same time left behind a lot of corpses. These Qing soldiers were all wounded soldiers, because they could not be treated, lacked medical treatment, and could not bear the arduous march, they had to slowly move towards death.

Every time a corpse is dropped, it's like a stab to Bolo's heart.

Without armor and weapons, the Qing soldiers could still endure it, after all, they were embattled. Now as long as they can live, they will be much luckier than those robes who died in the upper and lower cities of Nanjing, but the lack of food has made the army lifeless, and there is no hope that they can get out of Nanzhili and Huguang alive.

As a last resort. Bolo had to take his ragged, unkempt soldiers, with bare scalps and braided on their heads, to patrol the mountains and forests, and it was already thankful that they were able to catch some wild animals. But the mountains and forests in the south are very different from those outside the pass, especially the drizzle, which has given birth to a lot of poisonous insects, snakes and ants, where do the Qing soldiers know this. After walking in the mountains and forests for less than five days, more than 200 people fell forever in it, and their deaths were unknown.

There is only one hope in sight. That is to arrive in Chuzhou as soon as possible. The guard of Chuzhou is a henchman arranged by Bolo, and he is also a famous fierce general in the Zhenglan Banner. He followed Bolo to fight in the south and the north for many years, although his official position was not high. But he is a coated slave who really walked out of Bolo's command. Even among the Eight Banners, they only recognized Bolo's orders, and even the Dorgon brothers knew this straightforward temper.

The reason why Belshen was arranged in Chuzhou was that it was also a little backhand left by Bolo at that time, but he didn't expect it to be really used now. There are also 3,000 vests under the command of Bo Luo who remain in Chuzhou, although they are not as good as the white-armored elite soldiers in the two blue flags, but their combat power is also quite strong.

Now, the Ming army has just begun a counteroffensive, and the soldiers have not yet been able to hit Chuzhou. According to the consideration of the tutorial, the Ming army reinforced from Henan can only reach the junction of Fengyang Mansion and Luzhou Mansion at the earliest. It is far from threatening Chuzhou's security. If the Green Battalion had any objections, without the support of tens of thousands of horses and artillery, it would never be possible to easily capture Chuzhou in a moment or three, and Bolo had absolute confidence in Belezin's talent.

After a few days, Boluo's department finally walked out of Langya Mountain, according to the sentinel sent to inquire, the Ming army behind was temporarily missing, and it was thought that it had been thrown away. Bolo let out a sigh of relief and ordered his generals and soldiers to use all their strength to march towards Chuzhou.

Chuzhou is the birthplace of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty, which occupies a pivotal position in the history of the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of Fengyang Mansion, Chuzhou did not fall under its jurisdiction, but led a state by itself, in charge of Lai'an, Quanjiao and other counties, and became the directly governed state capital of Nanzhili, which shows that its title of "Kaitianshou County" is definitely not in vain.

After Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he built the Beijing-Beijing official road to strengthen the connection between Beijing and Nanjing, and the section from Chuzhou to Nanjing was the traffic artery into Huaiyang and Jiangnan, which also promoted the prosperity and prosperity of the Chuzhou region.

After the Apocalypse, natural disasters were frequent, and Fengyang Mansion and Chuzhou gradually declined, but the official road of Beijing was always in an important position, with frequent civil strife, and the imperial court transferred troops year after year, and the official road did not dare to take it lightly. So the preservation is quite complete and smooth.

But Bolo did not dare to take the wide avenue easily, he could only take the burden shop, Guantang paved across the Chuhe River and walked straight to Chuzhou, the situation along the way was similar to Bolo, Tunqi guessed, the green camp defenders who originally stayed in various places really either betrayed or abandoned the city, and some of them directly fell into the grass for the coward, specializing in intercepting and killing the single Qing army Eight Banners soldiers and generals for a living. These days, there are not a few remnants of the Eight Banners who have died in their hands.

The territory of Nanzhili has been looted by the Liukou, the official army, and the Qing army for many years, and it has long been a miserable depression without a rooster crying for thousands of miles.

In this way, they finally arrived outside the city of Chuzhou, looking at the golden dragon flag with blue borders still fluttering high on the head of the city, Bo Luo and Tunqi's tears almost fell.

There were so many chaotic soldiers outside the city, and there was a panic on the city, and it could be clearly seen through the continuous rain that the city was full of soldiers wearing the iron armor of the Eight Banners in nervous defense. Bolo's heart suddenly had a familiar sense of intimacy, and when he turned around and looked at the soldiers and others under his command, his heart was also sour, and now this is the picture, who else can recognize this is the invincible two blue flag elite soldiers in the past!

The Qing soldiers at the head of the city loudly warned the soldiers and horses under the city in Manchu not to approach, otherwise they would open their bows and arrows. Tunqi hurriedly took off the iron helmet on his head, and shouted loudly to the soldiers not to be reckless, and asked them to quickly ask Belshen to go to the city to answer.

The soldiers seemed to recognize the appearance of Tunqi, not a lot of effort, a fully armored general in the crowd on the top of the city, when he spoke was a hoarse accent, for the shape and appearance of Belezin, Bolo was naturally very familiar, Bereshen only said two words to Tunqi, and immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate to welcome the soldiers and horses into the city.

The dark and heavy iron-clad city gate slowly opened, looking through the layers of rain and fog, the city was a tense posture, and many soldiers gathered at the city gate.

The soldiers and horses quickly entered the city, and as soon as they entered the city, there were soldiers who came to ask for warmth, sent hot soup and hot water, and some people came to take care of the soldiers who were slightly injured, and the houses near the city gate were demolished, and military tents were erected, and the tired soldiers could rest in the tents.

But after Bolo dismounted, he simply used some meatloaf soup and water, but he never saw Bereshen, and even his officers were nowhere to be seen. It's just a few Goshha who are very raw, but speak fluent Manchu, have been circling around him, and the same is true of Tunqi's side.

"What about Belshen? Let him come to me quickly! Bolo put down the soup bowl in his hand and said to an old man in his forties beside him.

The old pawn's copper-colored face, his hands were powerful, and he looked like a veteran in the army, and he took the soup bowl and replied with a smile: "Lord Belle, Chuzhou City is the place of the four wars, my master thinks that this place is not suitable for a long time, just wait for Lord Belle to come, and after resting, he will pull out the camp and return to the north, there are Ming troops along the way, in order to speed up the journey, the master will search for war horses everywhere in the morning, just wait for Lord Belle to come and get on the road as soon as possible." Now the master is arranging city defenses at the head of the city, waiting for Lord Belle's order at any time! ”

As soon as he heard this, Bolo couldn't help but nod in approval, and Tun Qi on the side also nodded frequently, unable to see that this rough Belle Shen had a careful side, but he knew how to take precautions and plan early. The soldiers had war horses, and the ordinary Ming army was not afraid of it, and the possibility of returning to Shanxi was greatly increased.

"Let's go! Go to the city, the withdrawal of the army is not a trivial matter, the route, the placement of personnel must have a strategy, Belesan in Chuzhou is not short, the surrounding terrain and the movement of the Ming army are very familiar, some arrangements let's listen to his opinion! ”

After the hot soup and hot rice, Bolo's spirit also recovered a lot, so he waved his hand and beckoned Tunqi to go to the city together.

When I arrived at the head of the city, I saw a few people standing in the same position as they were standing in the distance, and the old man beside him was leading the way with a flattering smile on his face.

After approaching, this Belesan still didn't turn around, but Bolo was angry, "It's only been a few days, but you slave has a temper, can't you let Lord Ben Belle meet you!" ”

Belchen, however, remained silent, still standing at the battlement, without even turning his head.

Bolo was immediately furious, and the splitter copied the horsewhip in his hand, and immediately pulled it over, and several people around Bereshen hurriedly dodged, but Bereshen received a solid blow on his back.

Still, he didn't move.

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Bolo's heart.

Before he could make a move, the old man next to him opened his mouth suspiciously. "Lord Belle doesn't have to be angry, Belle Shen is courteous to you, but you also have to have a life to be courteous, now, he doesn't even have his life, what else do you want to kowtow to Lord Belle! Hehe! ”

"Who are you?" Bo Luo and Tun Qi were shocked, and hurriedly dodged to the side, holding the saber firmly in their hands, but the old pawns and the Chuzhou defenders on the opposite side raised their heads one by one and looked at them with a strange smile.

Beside him, the two defenders of Chuzhou moved Belesan to the left and the right, and Bolo peeked at it, Bereshen's face was pale, without a trace of blood, faintly revealing a blue and black color, and he had obviously died of exhaustion. It's just that his body is firmly fastened to the city wall by several iron hooks, so he can't stand. (To be continued......)
