Driving away the surrounding ships, a huge ship began to turn around, and several important generals of Zuo Mengeng escorted Zuo Mengeng to stand at the bow of the ship, and these people had unbelievable expressions on their faces until now. Hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked in the river, and they were powerless to fight back.

The facts can't be changed, this is the moment of imminent collapse, Zuo Mengeng didn't know who was intercepting him until now. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, the powerful attack network composed of the opponent's artillery can't be broken through, and you can't wait for the army to completely collapse, otherwise you can't escape if you want to. Now, what Zuo Mengeng needs is to escape.

Yuan Jixian was brought over, and the continuous sound of cannons and shouts of killing came, Yuan Jixian realized that Zuo Mengeng was defeated, and he did not hesitate to say sharply to Zuo Mengeng not far away: "If you fall, you can also let the court forgive, there is an old man as a guarantee, but the past is not to blame, if you continue to be obsessed, the court army will definitely regard Er and others as rebellious, and will not show mercy!" ”

Zuo Liangyu was good to Yuan Jixian, but unfortunately, this had nothing to do with Zuo Mengeng, he waved his hand impatiently: "Tie up, take it away!" ”

Struggling desperately, Yuan Jixian began to shout: "Rebel thief! Zuo Menggeng, you rebel thief! ”

For the iron-hearted Zuo Mengeng and the others, Yuan Jixian's yelling didn't matter, what he cared about now was how to escape.

The escape of the rear team led by Zuo Menggeng Shuai undoubtedly brought a greater disaster, and countless ships in the Yangtze River panicked, this huge fleet was too dense, and it was almost impossible to turn back in the water without anyone to command. But who is in command now, Zuo Mengeng ran away, most of the boats were messed together, and I don't know how many people fell into the water in the collision and chaos.

Huang Degong was stunned, this scene was a little terrifying.

The river is full of boats, and people keep jumping into the water to escape to the shore, I don't know how many people are specific, Huang Degong's eyes are full of people. It didn't matter how many people there were, but Huang knew that these people had to be killed, or they had to accept surrender.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Huang Degong gave up the second thought, Zuo Liangyu's army soldiers are already actual bandits, they have been doing evil for many years, this huge number cannot be restrained at all, the only way is to kill them, so that they will never poison the people again.

Ma Degong was in charge of the battle on the road and land, and now, the blocking turned into a pursuit, and Huang Degong stood on the boat depressed, full of enemies in front of him, and he couldn't do it at all if he wanted to pass through the river, and his warships were all blocked in the river by the enemy and Zhou Huchen's artillery fire. Zhou Huchen's artillery was still firing unhurriedly, and Huang Degong could only stare dryly.

The east bank of the Yangtze River.

Meng Yun kept howling excitedly, because the artillery fire was extending to the south, he finally completed his first actual combat command, as for the effect of the artillery bombardment, it was similar to the training, that is, there were more dead.

Zhou Huchen no longer cared about the artillery attack, in the clairvoyant mirror, he had already seen these chaotic troops fleeing, such chaos had become a de facto rout.

"Leave 3,000 people under the command of General Xue Yue and Xue Shen, and the rest of the foot soldiers will go south, follow me!" Zhou Huchen didn't have to worry about the battle in the river, he had to go south, because his own warships could not pass, he could only let the foot soldiers pursue along the river bank to prevent these routs from landing.

Rushing all the way along the riverbank, Zhou Huchen finally saw the ships that had escaped, but unfortunately, he was just looking.

After chasing for nearly ten miles, Zhou Huchen restrained his footsteps, the enemy's boat was not fast, but no one went ashore, Zhou Huchen's soldiers could only watch the enemy's boat flee against the current in the river.

Huang Degong has already killed red eyes, Zuo Liangyu's so-called soldiers are too weak, even if the weak ones are killed, they don't bother to resist, except for jumping ship to escape, they don't even know how to resist.

When Zhou Huchen came back unhurriedly, Meng Yun was still in excitement, all the artillery was cleared once, and Meng Yun commanded the artillery team to extend to the south. The chaotic army in the river was finally cleared a little, and the long-lasting artillery sound finally stopped, and Huang Degong's warships began to pursue.

Countless floating corpses and broken wood, as well as a small number of boats, this is the scene in the river.

"Urgent! Urgent! ”

A clipper boat dodged the floating objects in the river, and the sailors on the boat desperately rowed their oars to Zhou Huchen's approach, and no one stopped the boat, because there was a strange black pennant floating in the bow, and this flag was embroidered with a flying tiger.

This flag is the flag of Zhou Huchen's Jiang Defense Team, and even Huang Degong's subordinates know it, of course no one stops it.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, the Qing army of Duoduo returned to Germany and headed south.

At the same time as Zuo Liangyu raised troops, the Qing army also began a large-scale offensive from Germany. Between 800 miles from Guide to Xiangshan, the Southern Ming army did not have a single soldier to block except for the retreat, and the places of Yangzhou, Sizhou and Xuzhou were boiling and the people were panicked.

The entire Jiangbei was empty, because Ma Shiying had already withdrawn most of the army to return to the defense to deal with Zuo Liangyu. Ma Shiying knew that the Qing army had entered northern Jiangsu at this time, but he instigated Emperor Hongguang to order Shi Kefa, a university scholar, to send troops and horses across the river to defend Nanjing, Shi Kefa led his troops across the river on the second day of the first month of April to ask to enter the court to summon the right, and met Emperor Hongguang to explain that the main threat to Sheji came from the Qing side rather than Zuo Liangyu's department, so he did not approve of the deployment of troops from Jiangbei to deal with the left army. Ma Shiying was worried that Shi Kefa's name was in the forefront, and his first assistant general would not be able to keep it after entering the dynasty, and the news of the Qing army's southward movement was becoming more and more urgent. After receiving the edict, Shi Kefa was disappointed, climbed to Yanziji on the outskirts of Nanjing, "bowed to the south eight times, and returned with tears."

The situation in the city of Nanjing is also quite delicate. At the critical juncture when the rebels on the left were forcing the Qing troops to move south, Emperor Hongguang issued: "If the upstream is urgent, go upstream; If the enemy is in a hurry, then the enemy will be resisted", which is completely in a passive situation. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng also understood that no matter how much they concentrated their forces against either side, Nanjing would be in danger of falling. Therefore, they had secretly made preparations to flee with their troops, and Ma Shiying appointed his second son Ma Luan as the chief soldier of the Beijing camp in advance, and controlled a part of the cronies with the Guizhou soldiers as the mainstay; Ruan Dacheng, the secretary of the military department, also "used the soldiers to protect his private room day and night, controlled the strings and was armored, and the secret in the wing room and study was the heartfelt armor".

The Qing army saw this opportunity, and King Duoduo of Yu took advantage of the situation to enter and lead his troops to cross the Huai to the south. The Qing army took the opportunity to approach Xuzhou, but the general soldier Li Chengdong did not send troops to stop it, and the Qing army then trapped Yingzhou (now Fuyang) and Taihe. The Qing army entered Bozhou, to Pizhou (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu), Xu and Si were in a hurry, and Shi Kefa was ordered to return Yang (Zhou) and Si (Zhou) in a hurry, but Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo should still be ordered to defend Nanjing. The Qing army fell all the way to Bozhou and all the way to Dangshan. On the Xuzhou side, Li Chengdong, the commander-in-chief, abandoned the city as early as 8 April and went south to Yangzhou. On the ninth day of the first month, the Qing army occupied Xuzhou.

The most dangerous moment was coming, and Zhou Huchen immediately began to organize the team. First sent someone to inform Huang Degong of the news, and then left a hundred mortars, ammunition and related gunners, Zhou Huchen led his army down the river.
