Chapter 35 - Departure

After killing Azig.

This Hubei Zhang Yun doesn't want to stay anymore, Li Zicheng doesn't look like a person who can support the wall at all......

What's more, Chongzhen's side is also in an emergency situation, in the original history, about two days before Li Zicheng's death, Nanjing City fell!

The nobles led by Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, Tang Guozuo, the Marquis of Lingbi, and the hundreds of civil and military officials led by Wang Ze, a scholar, and Tang Shiji, the imperial historian, have surrendered to Duoduo, the brute with little tutoring!

And Duoduo has already been captured, Guide, Yingzhou, Taihe, Yangzhou and other places.

What's even more shameless is that Duoduo has already completed the Yangzhou 10th ...... The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty has basically disappeared.

But the current situation is different from history, first, Chongzhen is still alive, and Chongzhen's appeal is much stronger than that of King Fu.

Second, it is Yan Yingyuan and Huang Degong that have greatly increased the strength of their subordinates, and they basically have the strength to compare with the beast of Duoyi.

Therefore, the current front of the two sides, according to the news that Zhang Yun probed under Li Zicheng's subordinates, Yangzhou City, which should have fallen in April at this moment, is still in the hands of the Ming army, but it is also precarious, and the situation is not good!

So at this moment, Zhang Yun, after confirming that Azig was dead, helped Gao Yigong and killed many good fighters in the wild boar skin army, and after determining that Gao Yigong had the complete upper hand, he immediately turned around and left from the battlefield......

After a lot of wind and dust all the way, Zhang Yun finally rushed to the outside of Yangzhou at the end of May.

After arriving here, Zhang Yun saw at a glance the impenetrable army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 wild boar skins surrounding Yangzhou City.

Of course, Duoduo, the handsome tent and handsome banner of the brute, because it is too conspicuous, Zhang Yun naturally saw it at a glance!

The moment he saw Duoduo, the handsome tent of the brute, Zhang Yun had an impulse to rush into the army of ten thousand now, and kill him!

Fortunately, Zhang Yun forcibly resisted this impulse, and understood that he was also a mortal fetus in the flesh, and under the accumulation of tens of thousands of bows and arrows, it was impossible to escape death, so he retreated to Yangzhou City to take effect, looking at the posture, only let him live a few more days, for such a brute, and put his life into it, it would definitely not be worth it!

Next, Zhang Yun took advantage of the night to rob and kill several waves of wild boar skin sentinels, and the information obtained was somewhat similar to history, Shi Kefa was hated by Chongzhen because he was born in the Donglin Party, and was finally squeezed out of the center of the imperial court, and came to Yangzhou City as in history.

Only this time, he didn't have the four towns of Jiangbei as his subordinates, so he could only rely on the township Yong who was temporarily recruited to defend the city.

Fortunately, Chongzhen had not yet arrived home completely confused and understood that Yangzhou City was not trivial, so not long after Duoduo went south, he immediately sent Yan Yingyuan to Yangzhou City to defend the city with Shi Kefa.

That is, because it was supported by tens of thousands of troops under Yan Yingyuan, it was faced with the siege of Duoduo with hundreds of thousands of troops, and Yangzhou City was able to hold on to this day and has not fallen.

Calculate the time, since Duoduo began to besiege Yangzhou City in April, to the end of May now, Yangzhou City has been besieged for two months, it seems that it has been, and it is time to run out of oil and dry up!

At four o'clock in the morning, when people are most tired, Zhang Yun touched the outside of the Yangzhou city wall at this time, holding a long rope in his hand, ready to take advantage of the night to rush into Yangzhou City.

"There are ...... on the walls"

Suddenly hearing such a shout, Zhang Yun secretly cursed in his heart, these dead traitors betrayed their comrades, and there was really no room for it!

The people of the wild boar skin should not be able to speak Chinese, so the identity of the person who shouted this sentence at the foot of the city wall at this moment can be imagined......

Although he was extremely angry in his heart, and the killing intent of Kong Youde and several other traitors was extremely strong at this moment, Zhang Yun still had no choice but to hurry up and climb the city wall.

"Woo Woo ......"

And the wild boar skins who heard the warnings of the traitors naturally would not let Zhang Yun go, and a rain of arrows shot straight over.

Fortunately, because it was already four o'clock in the morning, these people were also in an extremely tired moment, so the arrows they shot had neither strength nor accuracy, and were narrowly avoided by Zhang Yun.

In this way, Zhang Yun successfully climbed the wall, and naturally met Yan Yingyuan's men, but fortunately, Zhang Yun hurriedly shouted: "I am the envoy sent by the emperor, and I want to see General Yan now......"

When Zhang Yun saw Shi Kefa and Yan Yingyuan, the sky was almost bright, and ignoring Shi Kefa, Zhang Yun hurriedly pulled Yan Yingyuan and said, "Why is Huang Degong not around here, isn't Your Majesty afraid of the fall of Yangzhou City?" ”

"You must know that after Duoduo captured Yangzhou City, on the way to Nanjing, there is no strong city to defend!"

Yan Yingyuan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty originally wanted to send General Huang over to defend Yangzhou City with Yan, but the adults in the capital thought that the capital was more important, and strongly persuaded Your Majesty to leave General Huang behind in case there was a change in the capital." ”

"In this way, General Huang stayed in Nanjing City, and Yan and Master Shi were urgently sent to Yangzhou City, and they have been defending until now, and it has been almost two months."

"Don't hide it from the chief, in the past two months, the Manchu Tartars have besieged Yangzhou City, and it is impossible for Yan to report the military situation to His Majesty, and at this time, Yangzhou City has also reached the moment when the oil is exhausted, because the grain and grass have been exhausted......"

"It just so happens that the Taoist chief is here, presumably with the vast power of the Taoist chief, he will definitely be able to come up with a good plan to help the people in this city make a way to live, not to mention anything else, as long as the Taoist chief does not operate ghost handling techniques, and helps the people in the city and the army under Yan to transport some food, Yan will definitely be able to defend Yangzhou City, and will definitely not be taken away by the Manchu Tartars!"

Yan Yingyuan said a lot in a hurry, but Zhang Yun frowned when he heard it!

After he finished speaking, Zhang Yun asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to defend the city?" Haven't you heard of Yan Yingyuan, offense is the best defense? ”

Zhang Yun's words soared, and Shi Kefa, who had been forcibly holding back beside him without speaking, finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily: "You demon Dao, what kind of heart is An?" ”

"You don't care about the lives of the people in this city, do you?"

"At this time, you let the army go out of the city to fight with the Manchu Tartars, if this fails, the lives of the people in the city will all be lost in your hands......"

"Enough!"

Zhang Yun looked at Shi Kefa and shouted impatiently, interrupting his words, and then turned his head and discussed with Yan Yingyuan again, how to fight this battle!
