Chapter 144: Zhu Cihong needs pressure

When Emperor Zhu Youzhen and the crown prince Zhu Cihong went out of the palace to inspect the people's situation, the headquarters of the Second Army of the Guards Army had also been transferred from Huai'an to the Gyeonggi area of Nanjing.

Meanwhile.

The 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 1st Corps of the 2nd Guards Army has also been ordered to rush to the Jiangpu area, where Ying Tianwei is located.

Jiangpu is located in the north of Nanjing City, is the north gate of Nanjing City, Ying Tianwei is to guard Pukou, control the north and south, and clamp Jianghuai.

Even if Huaining Hou Sun Weicheng did not defect to the Donglin Party, this important land would have been taken over by the Guards, just because the Guards had focused most of their energy on training some time ago, so that most of the defense outside the city was still controlled by the Guards.

Chen Mingyu took his team to hold the Chongzhen fourteen-style flintlock pistol, and followed Zhang Huangyan of thousands of households to run at the front.

Chen Mingyu was nervous in his heart, and he, Zhang Huangyan, and even many officers and soldiers of their third battalion participated in actual combat for the first time.

Zhang Huangyan was promoted to a thousand households in the first battalion because of his civil and military skills, and he was awarded the official Wude General.

However, in the face of the actual combat task of exterminating Sun Weicheng's department for the first time, and the first time he wanted to shoot and kill people, Zhang Huangyan was also a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't say a word as soon as he ran all the way from Zhenjiang.

The commander of the Third Infantry Battalion A made the general Jiao Lian much calmer, he was a veteran in the army, and he was originally a guerrilla in the palace, and he came to Huai'an from Liangguang and Guangzhou.

He is good at cavalry and infantry, and he is very confident that he will be ordered to control and exterminate Sun Weicheng's troops this time.

He also understood that the deputy general of the corps had followed His Majesty Zhu Youzhen to guard the Forbidden City in Beijing, and Wang Zhihao, one of the 36 eunuchs who guarded the Forbidden City in Beijing, asked him to lead the infantry to exterminate Sun Weicheng's troops.

As for whether the infantry can defeat the cavalry, the natural score is the actual situation.

In Jiao Lian's opinion, although most of the infantry he brought were new soldiers, they were well-armed, disciplined, and flexible, while Sun Weicheng's 3,000 cavalry were just his family's old horsemen, and they stayed in the south for a long time, so they were inevitably feminine, and even had no war horses and no sharp blades, trapped in the swamp, undoubtedly like a tiger falling into Pingyang.

"Quick! Fast! You must reach Pujiang before dawn! ”

Jiao Lian stepped into a ditch as he spoke, completely ignoring the mud splashing on his face.

And here, Chen Mingyu has also followed Zhang Huangyan and his team to step over.

When twilight falls.

The 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Second Army had all arrived at Pujiang and surrounded Sun Weicheng's troops.

At this time.

Sun Weicheng was still in Nanjing City, still drinking flower wine in his Huaining Marquis Mansion, and he didn't know that the Second Army of the Guards had secretly mobilized a battalion of men and horses to rush to his Ying Tianwei.

There are many guards in the Ming Dynasty, and the departments of the Second Army of the Guards are often transferred and returned, and everything is a secret order of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and there is no radio system in these years, and Sun Weicheng naturally does not pay more attention to the so-called intelligence work, and is willing to follow the Donglin Party, but he feels that His Majesty has come to Nanjing City, so that he has not received any substantial benefits and has some resentment.

It is precisely because Sun Weicheng, Marquis of Huaining, is not there, that Ying Tianwei's so-called 3,000 cavalry is even more loosely disciplined, saying that it is cavalry, but in fact it is just a group of infantry who can ride horses, most of them sit in the camp and shout playing cards and eating wine, and they don't notice that there are already footsteps outside the camp.

"Chen Mingyu, jump up!"

This kind of action of climbing over the wall, in the Huai'an Lecture Martial Arts Hall, they will often train, so it is not difficult for Chen Mingyu.

After Zhang Huangyan gave a low order, Chen Mingyu nodded, hung the rifle behind him, clinged his hands to the wall, poked his head out to look, and saw that the soldiers guarding the camp gate were sitting under the eaves dozing, so he immediately took this opportunity to turn over and jump, climbed over the wall, slowly landed on the ground, pulled out his dagger and walked towards the two soldiers step by step.

The dagger in Chen Mingyu's hand was the sharp blade that Zhu Youzhen gave him, Yan Yingyuan, and Feng Houdun in Yangzhou that day, and it was an alloy steel dagger made by the Iron and Steel Smelting Bureau of the Daming Ordnance Institute, and it was coated with highly poisonous, which was naturally a murderous weapon.

However, Chen Mingyu's heart was beating a little faster at this time, he was just a Wenju person, although he practiced some martial arts, but he usually killed chickens and ducks, so it was indeed a very difficult thing for him to be a scholar for the first time to quickly end the lives of two people.

But Chen Mingyu still gritted his teeth and walked over, clenched his fists, and quickly stabbed into the neck of the gatekeeper.

The soldier died instantly.

Even, Chen Mingyu covered his mouth, and the soldier didn't even hum out and was directly sealed with blood.

Chen Mingyu watched this person's eyes widen in front of him, his pupils dilated, and then he died, he couldn't help but feel weak under his feet, and his breathing became heavier.

However, Zhang Huangyan and the others who saw outside the crack in the door were still waiting for him to open the door.

He continued to bold, and in the same way ended up killing another Ying Tianwei soldier.

Chen Mingyu looked behind him, and there were still all kinds of voices of gambling, drinking, and molesting women in the camp behind him, and those who didn't know thought that this was the Qinglou.

Chen Mingyu, who was determined in his heart, couldn't help but sit down, took a long breath, and then gritted his teeth and got up and opened the door.

As soon as Chen Mingyu opened the door, Zhang Huangyan personally led a team of 1,000 people under his command to quietly touch in: "The 1234 Association will attack from the left side, and the 5678 Association will attack from the right side, and if you meet someone, you will shoot them!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Mingyu belonged to the Fourth Association, so it didn't take long for him to sit on the ground and immediately lead his team to attack from the left side.

Chen Mingyu bit the corner of the paper shell bullet, ran towards the first barracks, broke into the barracks, and fired a shot at a shirtless man who pulled the trigger.

This time, he was much more decisive than the last time he killed someone.

Then, Chen Mingyu continued to shoot another man in the same way.

"Who are you! This official is the commander of Tianwei to make the same knowledge, you", at this time, before one person finished speaking, Chen Mingyu directly shot him in the mouth, directly hitting him in the head.

It wasn't until the end that Chen Mingyu found that there was still a trembling woman hiding in the corner, and looked at Chen Mingyu naked: "My lord, spare my life, I was robbed by these military masters, woo!" ”

"Bad luck!"

Chen Mingyu didn't expect to encounter such a dirty scene when he broke into the first barracks, he didn't kill the woman who was robbed by the officers and soldiers of Ying Tianwei, but continued to go to the next barracks.

"The order of the corps is to kill all these traitors, and not one of them will be left!"

Zhang Huangyan shouted loudly and broke into a barracks in person, but when he saw a group of Ying Tianwei officers and soldiers holding swords and guns in the barracks, he was dumbfounded for a while.
