In the face of the crisis coming from all sides, at the moment when Bolo was panicked and helpless, Qin Guanglian, Wu Shoujin, Liu Zhiyuan and other Han troops under Wu Sangui under the command of Wu Sangui made a decision immediately, without even saying hello, and immediately pulled out the camp and retreated, retreating towards the southwest.

Geng Zhongming tried to stop him, but he was beaten by the Wu army, and he was beaten on his back, and even his own butt was beaten into a honeycomb by the Wu army's firecracker, and he could only be carried back to his own camp by his own soldiers.

The various units of the Qing army were in a joint camp under the city of Nanjing for more than 30 miles, but as soon as Lu Zhenfei's Anyuan army arrived, it was only tens of thousands of troops, and it still did not move, but the entire Qing army of the southern expedition was completely chaotic.

The various units of the Green Battalion either surrendered or fled, and the main forces of them were either completely lost in the siege battle, or followed Qin Guanglian, Liu Zhiyuan, and Wu Shoujin to the south to make peace with Wu Sangui, and Bolo's so-called 200,000 troops were in chaos without a fight in the blink of an eye.

The tide of soldiers and horses besieging the city generally retreated, and the birds and beasts scattered outside the city of Nanjing, and the vacant tents did not know when the flames appeared, and they were connected together without much effort, until night fell, but the fire became stronger and stronger with the help of the wind.

At the beginning, Bolo also wanted to control the situation, gather all the rebels, divide the troops and horses, and then retreat decisively to the west. Although the Ming army came several ways, but the number is not very large, the Qing army still has a numerical advantage, as long as it firmly hugs the group, and occupies the return pass, keep the logistics supply channel unblocked, the Ming army is helpless for a while.

But the chaos of the Green Battalion was beyond Bolo's expectations, especially after the news spread that Qin Guanglian and others led more than 50,000 elites to leave decisively, the hearts of the generals and commanders of the Green Battalion fluctuated, and the situation immediately became uncontrollable.

At this time, Bolo wanted to cry without tears, he couldn't fight if he wanted to, and there was no way to go if he wanted to. When I wanted to go south to Huguang, the scenery was infinite, and it was really a double situation. At this time, there is still a way to return and food and grass supplies, and if you look at the current chaos of the Qing army, you will know that the back road has long ceased to exist.

Those Han soldiers who used to crawl at their feet have now become desperate, even at the expense of swords and soldiers in the Eight Banners.

"The Han people are really unreliable!" Bolo carved this lesson in his heart with his blood. But it was too late.

After nightfall, Lu Zhenfei's An Yuan army took advantage of the fire to launch an attack, and as soon as it came up, it invested all its vital forces, and the city of Nanjing became Shura Hell again, the blood of the Qing army annihilated the large and small streams and ravines, the cavalry of the Ming army galloped across the corpse pile, the heads rolled to the ground, the Han soldiers discarded their blades in pieces and knelt on the ground to surrender, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners fought desperately in the swords and guns of Rulin. Until he died of exhaustion.

Bo Luo and Tun Qi led the remaining more than 10,000 Eight Banner disciples to rush left and right in the chaotic army, but without the guide of the Green Battalion, and the fire was high in the night, and the smoke was filled, so they always circled on the line of the Qinhuai River.

When the day was getting brighter and he died, Zhu Dadian's Zhejiang Ming army also rushed to the battlefield, and more than 20,000 people were organized in the city to rush out of the city. Bo Luo and Tun Qi led more than 5,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat to the area of Langya Mountain in Chuzhou.

The three-way Ming army met under the city of Jubaomen, and there was thunder of joy for a while. Shi Kefa, Chen Zizhuang, Wang Tingchen, Chen Mingyu and others went out of the city to meet the reinforcements of Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Dadian.

It wasn't until they saw Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Dadian that Shi Kefa and others knew that Wu Sangui had been defeated in Fujian and retreated to Jiangxi. The remaining Hong Chengchou is far away in Sichuan, and it can be said that the situation in Jiangnan and Fujian and Guangdong has initially stabilized, and the rest is to wipe out the remnants of the Qing army left in Huguang, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang.

Zhu Dadian is already in his sixties, although he is dressed in a military uniform. But the maintenance is unusually proper, the eyebrows are a little gray, the face is ruddy and abnormal, and there is a very different difference from the popular fame of the people. Lu Zhenfei and Shi Kefa have been officials in the court for many years, and they know that this person is greedy for fame, but he is quite talented, especially as a civilian official, but he has repeatedly made great contributions in the campaign to exterminate the Liukou. Since Chongzhen was demoted in the fourteenth year, he has been idle at home. It wasn't until after Emperor Yixing registered that he came back. However, because of discord with Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others, it has not been reused.

Unexpectedly, this person is very good at seizing the opportunity, and he actually raised troops in Zhejiang, looking at the node where he came to aid Nanjing, he obviously had taken refuge in Zhu Ping'an, the king of Rui.

Zhu Dadian's personality does not match his face, and he abides by etiquette when facing Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei, but when he turns his head, he speaks with a big grin. "Today's battle is really happy, I was chased by Wu Sangui's villain in Zhejiang for half a month, forcing Lao Tzu to only spin in Tianlu Mountain, and now he has killed the Tartars, and this is a bad breath!"

Shi Kefa frowned, the siege of the city for more than three months, the recent period, the grain and grass in the city began to be distributed quantitatively and regularly, has been a little stretched, but Shi Kefa is the first soldier, only eat one meal a day, under his drive, the officials of the city are all following suit, and the food saved is rationed to the soldiers who defend the city, so the whole person is emaciated, so that the official robes that originally fit now seem empty.

Zhu Dadian's obvious sycophant words sounded a little harsh to Shi Kefa's ears. simply flicked the sleeves of his robe and went to the barracks to comfort the wounded soldiers.

However, Zhu Dadian only smiled slightly when he looked at his back, and the smile on his delicate and ruddy face did not decrease by half.

As soon as Shi Kefa left on the front foot, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and his son led the cavalry in the loyal camp to gallop in front of him like a burst.

The 30,000 loyal battalion has lost nearly two-thirds of its strength in the past three months, and the casualties can be described as heavy, and Li Laiheng's Red Tiger battalion has also suffered considerable losses. Therefore, these cavalrymen also held back their strength, and finally waited for the time to go out of the city to kill the enemy.

After the city gate was opened, all the cavalry in the city poured out, among which the loyal battalion and the Red Tiger battalion were the main force, chasing the dead and chasing the north, and winning countless victories.

The horses raised their hooves and roared in the air, and the cavalrymen threw them off their horses and threw them straight on the hard ground.

Li Guo's father and son turned over and dismounted, and bowed to everyone. Until now, Li Guo inevitably showed a trace of embarrassment in the face of the Wenchen generals of the Ming Court, but Li Laiheng did not have the slightest restraint, and his dark and young face revealed an unconcealed joy, "Thanks to the Hongfu of your lords, fortunately, thanks to the soldiers' lives, we caught a big fish!" ”

Hearing this, everyone became curious, and looked at the three people who fell to the ground and were tied up like zongzi.

One of the three was a thin old man with a white braid, and the torn part of his armor revealed the inner lining of the brocade robe, which actually showed the style of a black gold threaded dragon. Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, this was clearly the costume of the Manchu vassal king.

"The commander of the Tartar Tianyou Army, my Ming rebel general, Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun in the Qing Dynasty, and the two next to him are his brother Geng Zhongyu and his son Geng Jimao!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Dadian exclaimed, hurriedly took a few steps closer, leaned in front of Geng Zhongming, and the guards next to him understood, grabbed the braid at the back of Geng Zhongming's head, and strangled it hard, Geng Zhongming screamed in pain, and his head involuntarily leaned back.

Zhu Dadian's eyes suddenly turned red, and a mouthful of thick phlegm spit directly on Geng Zhongming's face, raised it and kept calling, and wiped it vigorously on his face, Geng Zhongming's face full of soot finally revealed its original face.

"Traitor, you also have today!" Zhu Dadian beat his chest, and rushed up desperately to beat and scold Geng Zhongming, without caring about his identity, the originally bright armor on his body also became crooked, the helmet fell to the ground, and the bun became scattered.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly pulled it away, but Geng Zhongming's face was torn off by Zhu Dadian, the blood flowed for a long time, and he screamed, Geng Zhongyu next to him was already so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, feces and urine flowed into the crotch of his pants, and Geng Jimao was even more shrunk into a ball, trembling all over.

Zhu Dadian hissed and shouted: "Chuyang Gong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming have finally been awarded the head, you have a spirit in the sky, and you can laugh at Jiuquan!" ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize. It turned out that when the Wuqiao Mutiny in Shandong was in place, Zhu Dadian was the nominal governor of Shandong, Sun Yuanhua was defeated by Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and other rebels, and was later imprisoned by the imperial court for questioning and unjustly died in Jingshi West City. However, this Zhu Dadian was ordered to take on the responsibility of countering the rebellion, led 30,000 Liao troops to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, killed the rebel leaders Li Jiucheng and Chen Shi, and forced Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others to cross the sea to join the Manchus. At that time, Wu Sangui, Liu Liangzuo and others were just partial generals under his command.

It can be said that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others are the culprits who caused Sun Yuanhua to be killed. It can be said that if there was no Wuqiao Mutiny, I am afraid that the Manchu Qing would not have grown so rapidly. As soon as Sun Yuanhua died, Denglai's threat to Guanwai no longer existed, and the containment of the Manchu maritime merchants disappeared.

Zhu Dadian has been an official in Shandong for a long time, so he naturally hates these three people to the core.

Everyone worked together to finally persuade Zhu Dadian, Zhu Dadian gasped, stared at Geng Zhongming for a long time with a pair of red eyes, and suddenly cried loudly, and suddenly knelt down in front of everyone.

"The old man came to Nanjing for the first time, he never expected to be able to capture the enemy of his life, the old man has only one request, and I hope everyone can agree!"

Zhu Dadian pointed to Geng Zhongming and the other three, "This generation is all the disloyal and unfilial disciples of my Ming Dynasty, even if it is cut by a thousand knives, it is difficult to solve the hatred in the old man's heart." Now several sons of Chuyang Gong are in the Shandong army, this is the great luck of Chuyang Gong, the old man is also very pleased, just to be able to hand over this thief to the old man, the old man is willing to take him to Shandong, just in front of the spirit of Chuyang Gong, his head, dedicated to the spirit of Chuyang Gong!
