Mi Yan left, the candle flame in the room flickered and went out, and Li Da, who had been working on official documents in the compartment, walked out gently.

"Won't the Ming Dynasty really let the Three Guards stay in the Central Plains?"

Li Xin looked at the candle flame and did not answer his question. The imperial court has long been weakened by more than ten years of internal troubles, even if it creates a military general with difficult merits, I am afraid that it will not hesitate.

"Why should the marquis of Zhenyu roast himself on the fire? Could it be that the great opportunity of the Three Guards should be missed like this? ”

Li Da's eyes reflected the flickering candle flames.

Li Xin didn't know that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, openly sending troops to suppress thieves, and secretly helping the enemy and thieves. But doing so will only make the situation more volatile, and China will be in a warlord chaos, which is not what he wants.

Of course, Li Xin will never send himself to someone else's chopping block and let others slaughter him. Maybe there was a more appropriate path for him to follow, but it wasn't known now.

The Third Guards Army sent troops on the 10th day of the first month of April, and the large army was divided into three routes, and the Middle Route Army landed from Jiangpu and only killed Chuzhou. The Right Route Army landed in Luzhou, Anqing. The Left Route Army killed only Yangzhou along the Grand Canal.

Mi Yan's Left Route Army was mainly a native of Yingtianfu's hometown, although the combat experience was not as good as the old army, but its morale was like a rainbow, and he was full of confidence in winning the first battle.

The army came to the city of Yangzhou all the way, and Yang Bama, the defender of the city, heard that the Three Guards had sent an army of 10,000 people to try to stop them from going north, but the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou defenders was too low, and they were defeated and scattered in less than half an hour of fighting.

This frightened Yang Bama, a man who was used to fighting with the wind, and transferred from Li Zicheng to the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, but this time he realized a deep crisis. So he sent someone to contact Mi Yan and expressed his willingness to surrender in order to avoid his own fate.

Mi Yan held the negotiation book sent by Yang Bama in his hand and sneered twice. Then he reprimanded the trembling messenger: "You tell Yang Bama that I can guarantee his personal safety and corresponding property after surrendering, but not a single soldier by his side can be left, otherwise wait for my cannons and muskets!" ”

The envoy was frightened by Mi Yan's very arrogant attitude, he could only negotiate successfully this time, and not allow failure, otherwise with Yang Bama's character, going back would be the end of the family. Yang Bama's punishment of his subordinates who are ineffective has always been harsh and harsh.

The messenger threw himself on his knees, begging Mi Yan to be accommodating again. However, Mi Yan's bottom line is very clear, and his attitude is tough and cannot be changed.

In the end, the envoy was so forced that he cried, and then said that he surrendered voluntarily and would not return to Yangzhou, and was willing to provide useful information to the officials and soldiers in exchange for his own freedom.

In this regard, Mi Yan readily agreed. As a result, the first envoy to the peace talks sent by Yang Bama defected.

The news soon reached the ears of Zhang Yingxuan and Chen Kaiyuan, and the two of them had their own opinions on it.

Chen Kaiyuan was emotional: "What is Mi Yan doing?" Obviously, Yang Bacha was already planning to surrender, why did he make things difficult for others in every way? Isn't this blatantly causing trouble......" After taking two steps back and forth, he decided to go to Mi Yan to theorize in a fit of rage.

Don't look at him, he didn't dare to come out in front of Li Xin, but he didn't have the slightest fear in front of Mi Yan, who had no merit, not to mention that he came to supervise whether Mi Yan was responsible.

"What do you mean? Obviously, Yang Bama was already planning to surrender, why did he force the envoy to stay and refuse his surrender, didn't this anger Yang Bama? ”

Chen Kaiyuan and unceremoniously questioned Mi Yan.

Mi Yan didn't care about Chen Kaiyuan's aggressiveness, but asked the servant to bring hot tea to calm his anger. However, Chen Kaiyuan did not buy Mi Yan's gesture of goodwill, but he thought it was a show of weakness, so his attitude became even more arrogant.

"You must give me a suitable reason, otherwise I will expose your evil deeds in front of the Zhenyu Marquis, no, let the whole world know!"

Mi Yan spread his hands and said innocently: "I don't know what evil Mi Yan has done?" Please note that this is a war, not a verbal abuse at the court, so can't we be more patient and wait until there is a tangible result before making a decision? ”

"Oh? So what do you mean is that Yangzhou will be taken as soon as possible? So may I ask, in what days will the Three Guards take Yangzhou? Can you give Chen a certain deadline? ”

Before sending out the troops, Mi Yan was ready to be buzzed by these two flies, but he still didn't expect it to come so quickly and so fiercely. Besides, how can there be a certain number of things to fight, everything depends on the right time, place and people.

So, Mi Yan had no choice but to play the Dafa of nodding, no matter how Chen Kaiyuan questioned or even scolded, he only nodded and admitted it, but if he wanted to say one more word, it would be a dream. Finally, Chen Kaiyuan was tired of tossing, but found that he had gained nothing, so he could only glare at Mi Yan fiercely and turn around and leave.

After sending off the plague god, Mi Yan immediately summoned the four artillery battalion managers who went out with the army.

He was a staunch supporter of Heisenberg militarily, believing that artillery would be a decisive weapon for foot combat, so he brought twice as many artillery with him on this expedition.

The content of this military meeting was very simple, and there was only one core issue, that is, how to bombard Yangzhou City.

After all, there are many people living in the city and outside the city, and if too many people are injured by shelling, even if Yangzhou is recovered in the future, I am afraid that the marquis of Zhenyu will not be able to explain it.

Although these artillery battalion officers were also new troops, they had combat experience in Jiangxi and the western part of Nanzhili, and now in the face of Yangzhou, they unanimously agreed that the side that could pass through the sluice gate in the north of the city was shelled, and there were artificial rivers inside and outside the city wall, and the city wall structure was certainly much weaker than other places, and it was likely that it would collapse after the bombardment.

This can not only deter Yang Bama in the city, but also reduce the chance of accidentally injuring the people, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Mi Yan immediately adopted the idea and ordered the bombardment to begin at midnight and continue until dawn.

In Yangzhou City, Yang Bada has been worried for several days, and the envoy sent out to negotiate has not returned, he already has an ominous premonition, knowing that in the evening, someone sent back the news that the envoy has surrendered to the official army and will not come back. Moreover, the person who brought back the news also brought an ultimatum from the officers and soldiers, telling him to give up all military power before accepting surrender, otherwise he would wait for the cannons and muskets of the officers and soldiers.

This made Yang Bama both angry and frightened, obviously it was time to go to bed, but he couldn't sleep on the bed over and over. The woman next to her stretched out her slippery little arm and groped back and forth on Yang Bama's chest full of chest hair.

If it was in the past, Yang Bama, who was fierce and fierce, would have long been unable to suppress the impulse in his abdomen, so he turned over and stepped up to make a big attack. But tonight, he was disturbed by the rebellion of his cronies.

But after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of panting in his ears, and he still tried his best to pick up his gun and get on the horse. In an instant, a burst of heat spread throughout his body, Yang Bama's lust was ignited, and with more and more violent movements, he seemed to have regained his former self-confidence.

Rumble! Boom Boom!

The sudden loud noise made Yang Bama feel like an electric shock, and his body twitched involuntarily, and then he felt like a discharge. The jade man under the crotch screamed for a while, and the frightened flower was discolored.

The entire city of Yangzhou seemed to tremble in a huge continuous roar.

Yang Bama didn't care about the disheveled clothes on his body, so he only wore a pair of calf nose pants and went out to investigate the situation. Finally, a thief soldier came to report in a panic: "Oh no, the official artillery has been bombarded, and most of the walls of the water city in the north have collapsed!" ”

Yang Bama's body shook for a moment, he never imagined that the official army was not just intimidating, this was the real thing. Moreover, the city wall was destroyed at night, and if the officers and soldiers rushed into the city, wouldn't it be dangerous for themselves?

"Gather the pro-soldiers, and the commander will give a lecture!"

Soon, Yang Bacha was dressed neatly, and his armor was shining. However, some thieves are strange, why doesn't his own marshal wear the gold armor that he must wear every time he speaks?

"Brothers, how do I take you on weekdays?"

The thieves said in unison: "Yang Dashuai eats us and wears us, he is our great savior!" Better than our reborn parents, we are willing to go to the soup for Yang Dashuai, and we will not spin around! ”

The slogans are loud, and the morale is like a rainbow. Yang Bama has a little confidence at this time, and when he eats on weekdays and pays his salary, he will let the soldiers shout these slogans. In particular, his 3,000 personal soldiers, whose salaries were rich, were far from being comparable to those miscellaneous soldiers.

Looking at the three thousand soldiers in front of him, Yang Bama thought even more that he could not give up the military power, with the military power there was everything, if he lost the military power, then after surrendering the official army, wouldn't he become a lamb to the slaughter?

"Brothers, the officers and soldiers are coming into the city, what are you going to do?"

Yang Baba roared again.

Once again, the thieves spoke in unison.

"Die for the handsome! Fight with the officers and soldiers! ”

The slogan of the decisive battle with the officers and troops was heard endlessly, resounding over the school field.

Before the slogan had dissipated, the disaster came without warning, more than a dozen iron balls wrapped in hot air fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were cut off, and suddenly the school was full of crying Beijing and Shanghai.

Some of the thieves knew that this was a cannonball from the official army, and they didn't know who shouted: "The official army is coming, the official army is coming, the official army is coming......"

Immediately afterwards, a thief responded: "Run for your life......"

The sudden change made Yang Bama angry and frightened, just now these bitches raised them and said that Lao Tzu gave you food and clothing, which is better than your rebirth parents, and you want to die for Lao Tzu, this fucking mother doesn't want to be a father in a blink of an eye!

"Don't panic! Don't run! The officers and soldiers can't enter the city, so they will all come back to Lao Tzu......"

Yang Bama shouted so loudly that his voice was hoarse, and he was desperate to find that no one obeyed the order!
