Chapter 10: Righteousness

"Quick! The back team becomes the front team, get out! With the fire that had just been lit by the torches thrown out by the soldiers under his command, as well as the news from the guide's mouth, Shang Kexi immediately sensed the different meaning. The attack on the water gate is so smooth, the Zhenhai Gate goes down with a drum, and out of thin air there is such an urn city, this is not an ambush What else can it be!

But Shang Kexi is easy to say, at this moment there are more than 300 ships attacking the city, and they are still keeping up with them, and in a hurry, so many people and so many boats are crowded in the narrow river, and it is inevitable to turn around.

There was a mess for a while, in addition to completely blocking the river, the Qing army's fleet could not move at all, and many people were squeezed down the river in a panic.

Shang Ke sweated like pulp, and his voice was hoarse, but there was no improvement at all. Gradually, Shang Kexi realized that something was wrong with the situation around him, the fleet of the Qing army was in chaos, but the surrounding houses, including the walls of an urn city looming in the darkness, were silent.

Shang Kexi turned around, looked around carefully, his legs were weak, and he almost fell into the water from the bow of the boat.

The urn city on the left and right sides of the river, said to be the urn city, is actually very rough, it can be seen that it is made in a hurry, but it is built by relying on the walls and houses of the houses in the city of Xianfang, but it is condescending, holding both ends of the river to the death, and there is indeed a coercive situation. Now, on the city wall that is not tall, densely packed with black figures, lights and torches are lit up little by little, and the highest place on the left side of the river is hanging a battle flag of the Ming army, under the battle flag, a tall general is coldly watching the panic of the Qing army in the river.

"Tiger Dawei!" Shang Kexi still has some knowledge, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's intelligence on the generals of the Ming army is quite thorough, and generals like Hu Dawei have relevant portraits and materials in Dolgon. Although Shang Kexi had never seen Hu Dawei himself, he knew the portrait and news about him very thoroughly, so when he saw the appearance and figure of the general and the battle flag with the word "tiger" behind him, he guessed it at once.

Although Hu Dawei's face was cold, his heart was full of joy. This trap set by Huang Gongfu actually caught such a big fish as Shang Kexi. It was unexpected. Even the soldiers under his command were overjoyed, seeing that the Qing army could not move in the river, as if they were a piece of fat trapped on the river beach, they were eager to try, and they planned to shoot at the river with bows and arrows and firearms in their hands.

"Wait!" Hu Dawei waved his hand, "Why waste our army's arrows and ammunition, throw down some oil, are you afraid that you won't be able to burn these two tartars!" ”

Everyone suddenly moved up to the area, and immediately brought up more than a dozen barrels of kerosene. Straight down to the Qing fleet below.

The oil drum fell on the hull of the ship and shattered, splashing the oil in all directions. In the midst of the exclamations of the Qing army, dazzling torches were thrown from the walls of the urn city.

The flames suddenly rose into the sky, and the Qing soldiers immediately cried wolf, the boats were congested in the river, and there were Ming soldiers and horses all around, and the fire burned. There was not even a place to hide, and many soldiers went into the water to take shelter for a while.

Shang Kexi was dizzy. With the support of his own soldiers, he stood firm, and the heat wave spread on his face on all sides, and the palpitating fear brought by the burning sensation instantly permeated his whole body.

"Go, follow the boat, if you can get out of the city, you will have a way to live!" Shang Kexi is finally a veteran of battle. In a hurry, he came up with an idea, and now that the ships were all connected in one place, as long as the fire was not completely burned, these ships could be used as a retreat and retreat out of the city on foot.

Thereupon. Shang Kexi could no longer take care of the soldiers and horses under his command, and with the support of his own soldiers, he staggered all the way along the damaged and burning ship towards the water gate.

Shang Kexi didn't care so much, a pair of eyes just stared at the direction of the water gate, fortunately, there was still a gap there.

"General!" The guards had already stared at Shang Kexi, and when they found that he had moved, they immediately pointed it out to Hu Dawei, "The thief chief Shang Kexi wants to run!" ”

Hu Dawei glanced at it lightly, waved his hand slightly, and the herald beside him immediately shook the red flag in his palm.

Just when Shang Kexi and the others were about to arrive at the water gate, there was a sudden loud bang on the head of the Zhenhai Gate, and when they looked up, large stones and overwhelming mud and sand poured down, blocking the water gate in an instant, and even the ships on the water were covered, and many Qing soldiers were buried alive in it.

Shang Kexi couldn't help but let out a wail. Following the Qing army to conquer the world, almost undefeated, the pride and self-satisfaction in his heart gradually swelled, but when the desperate situation really came quietly in front of him, he still felt a strong sense of fear.

"Be merciful! We are also Han Chinese! "Many Qing soldiers cried loudly." We are also helpless! ”

Hu Dawei snorted coldly, "Han? You are also worthy of being Han Chinese, go down and explain to your ancestors! ”

Hu Dawei looked at Shang Kexi, who was extremely desperate, and pointed with his hand, "Find a way to get him up for me!" ”

"Okay!" The soldiers under his command shouted a promise, and as soon as the words fell, countless sickle hooks that would only be used in the defense of the city were thrown out. When the Ming army defended the city, the sickle hook was indispensable, when the enemy army climbed the city with cloud carts, well railings, and cloud ladders, the Ming army threw out the sickle hook, built the enemy soldiers who were climbing, dragged them to the head of the city, hacked to death with a knife, or simply threw it, threw it under the city, and fell to pieces.

At this time, the Qing army was like headless flies struggling in the narrow areas of the bow of the ship and in the water, but it became the best target of the Ming army's sickle.

All of a sudden, many Qing soldiers were hooked by the sickle hook in the armor or flesh, pulled up to the city, the Ming soldiers stood at the head of the city, the spear stretched out and kept stabbing, and almost all the Qing troops in the hook were spared.

Shang Kexi was frightened, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he used his saber to block the sickle hook, but there was nowhere to hide. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound of wind in his ears, and Shang Kexi subconsciously looked up, but it was fishing nets falling from the sky.

Before he had time to react, Shang Kexi and his relatives around him were casually covered by fishing nets, these fishing nets were tough, once they were caught in the net, but they couldn't get rid of it at all, the more they struggled, the tighter they were bound. Moreover, the fishing net is also equipped with barbed barbs, and when it moves, the barbs build clothes and armor, and as the body twists, the barbs are deeper and deeper, and in the blink of an eye, they go deep into the flesh, which makes people extremely painful.

The saber in Shang Kexi's hand had long since been thrown away, and his whole body was tightly bound by fishing nets, and the barbs went deep into the flesh, and the blood flowed for a long time, and the pain was unbearable.

"Up!" With the shout of the Ming army, Shang Kexi and his entourage rose into the air, and were pulled to the wall of the urn city, with the rising momentum, the fishing net was tightly closed again, and the feeling of the barb hooking the skin and flesh was even more unbearable.

The fishing net quickly rose to the top of the city, and finally stopped, and Shang Kexi could catch a breath a little, but he didn't dare to make the slightest movement. The fishing net was still about two feet away from the city, and the Ming troops above crowded into the battlements out of curiosity to look down.

"This is the big traitor, the Zhishun King of the Tartars is still gratifying!"

"Damn, this kind of person can still live between heaven and earth, what a shame for the ancestors!"

"Hurry up and ask the general to come over, what should I do with this guy, is it to cut off his head or Ling Chi? If Ling Chi is going to leave, leave a few pieces of meat for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will drink and eat! ”

These conversations reached Shang Kexi's ears unmistakably, and the physical pain was secondary, but the sadness and fear in his heart could be imagined. In order to survive, he betrayed the court and the country and took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Ming army again, can this be said to be a kind of retribution!

Shang Kexi slowly raised his head, his hands tightly grasping the gap in the fishing net, trying to alleviate his pain and control his tone. "I want to see General Tiger Dawei!"

"The one who is about to die, what else can he say when he sees Ben?" The crowd parted, and Hu Dawei walked to the widening place, looking at Shang Kexi with a calm face.

Seeing Hu Dawei, the fear in Shang Kexi's heart suddenly disappeared, and a strong survival ** filled the entire atrium again.

"General Tiger! I am Shang Kexi, the Zhishun King of the Qing Dynasty. Anqing has been surrounded by many people, and you can't get out of it anyway! If you give me a way to live, I will lead you and your subordinates out of Anqing, and exchange my lives for the lives of all of you, this business is definitely a good deal! If you refuse to believe me, then take people to follow me, and I can still swear to the heavens, if you have different intentions, people and gods will abandon you! ”

Hu Dawei looked at Shang Kexi's eyes, and suddenly there was a lot more contempt and disdain. "Do you think that the Han people in this world are like you? Hmph, over the years, how many soldiers and civilians of my Han people have been killed under the command of the Qing army, I don't say, you have a number in your own heart! Before saying this, why don't you think about it with your brain, Lord Huang Gongfu, the general and General Liu Zhaoji, knowing that Anqing will fall sooner or later, why do you still have to defend this lonely city? And the twenty thousand brothers in this city, do they have no selfish thoughts? Why is no one willing to leave and escape alone? It's still gratifying, you've lived most of your life, and you still haven't figured out how to write the word 'righteousness'? ”

Shang Kexi was speechless for a while.

Hu Dawei shook his head, "For the sake of you and Han Chinese, I won't let you suffer, so let's go on the road!" After going down, explain it to your ancestors and ancestors! ”

As soon as Hu Dawei's words fell, more than ten spears in the hands of the guards around him stabbed out of the city, and before Shang Kexi could react, his body was pierced by these spears, knowing that when he swallowed his last breath, his face still maintained an incredible expression, and at this time, he still didn't understand the meaning of Hu Dawei's words.

"Throw the body into the river, burn it with the tartars in the river, and hang the head on the head of the city!" Hu Dawei commanded. (To be continued......)
