Chapter 68: The Bloody Battle of Yangzhou
The regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, led 100,000 Qing troops to attack Yangzhou in three ways, starting from Shaanxi, taking Luoyang directly to the east, and approaching Yangzhou City, while Shi Kefa, who was guarding Yangzhou, only had 10,000 Ming troops. On the one hand, Shi Kefa called on the Ming army of the four towns in Jiangbei to unite to meet the enemy, and on the other hand, he widely issued a heroic post calling on the righteous army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the heroes of the rivers and lakes to defend the country together. However, among the generals of the four towns, only the white-haired veteran Xing Zhaoji admired Shi Kefa's personality, and the fire rate soldiers came to the rescue from Gaoyou, Yangzhou City was in an emergency, and the situation was extremely sinister. Shi Kefa wrote a suicide note to his mother and wife in Nanjing, determined to live and die with Yangzhou City.
Dolgon's marching camp, the regent Dolgon spread out the military map, and ordered: "Yangzhou City is the last barrier to destroy the Southern Ming, and this battle must be taken! Ezhe, you lead Wo Kuoxian and Tuodu to lead 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers to attack from the east gate! Duoduo, you lead 30,000 cavalry and 1,000 artillery to attack the west gate! I will lead the Chinese army to command!"
"Qiyu Regent, fifty red-clothed cannons have not yet been transported to the city of Yangzhou because of the difficulty of waterway!"
"What! In such a major battle, the weapons and equipment are so negligent! Whoever is responsible for transporting the red-coated cannons will be decided! Send the order down, let them go through the stars and nights, I haven't seen the cannons under Yangzhou City by this time tomorrow, let them come and see them!" Dolgon slapped the table and shouted.
"Wow!" said Dodor, preparing to go down.
"Duoduo, Yangzhou City is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since ancient times, it is best to go to the army to fight and plot, and it is best to surrender the soldiers without a fight. You immediately send five people to send Shi Kefa a letter of surrender in five time periods! As long as he opens the city gate and surrenders, we will enter the city without committing any crimes! If we don't open the city gate, we will slaughter the city in the future!"
"Chirp!" Duoduo finished speaking, and immediately went down to execute, but unfortunately the history of the surrender book sent over entered the moat without even reading it.
Duoduo stomped his feet angrily and gave the order for a strong attack. And sent people to mix into Yangzhou City to spread: the governor walked all over the streets, and the staff was as cheap as a dog. Xianggong (referring to Ma Shiying) only loves money, but the emperor eats wine. to break the hearts of the people in Yangzhou City. The rumors really worked, and some Yangzhou generals began to think about Zhu Yousong's depravity and corruption, and gradually became centrifuged.
The east gate was under the fierce offensive of Ezhe and Tuodu, but the effect was not obvious. Again and again, Tuodu picked up the Xuantian giant axe, released the goshawk on his shoulder, flew on his horse and shouted: "Xiaotian, come with me into Yangzhou City!" Unscrew Shi Kefa's neck!" The goshawk flew high, and dragged the capital Pegasus to lead the army to attack the city, because the city wall was too high, the ladder was basically useless, so he could only use the trebuchet to throw boulders and fireballs into Yangzhou City, "Smash it for me!" The trebuchet smashed the boulder, grinding disc, and fireball hula to the city wall, and gradually, the city wall of Yangzhou East Gate was dilapidated, and the smoke was billowing out. Taking advantage of the smoke, Tuodu quietly attacked the city, and immediately ordered "release the arrows!" Everyone took a bow and shot arrows, and the arrows full of strings shot into Yangzhou City like rain, and the Ming army was innumerable in the arrows, most of them were scarred and fought with injuries. Yangzhou city wall is towering, drag them repeatedly set up a ladder to climb the city tower, not climb to half of the rolling wood, boulder smashed down by the Ming army to smash down, as if no matter how fierce the offensive in front of Yangzhou city is pale and powerless, both sides are mixed dead, the Ming army does not come out of the city, the Qing army can not be attacked, the two sides are in a stalemate. Each time, Tutu led everyone back to camp with their wounded brothers in despair.
"Anda, these Nanban have now become shrunken turtles! I shouldn't call for war every day, I'm very annoyed! Alas......" As soon as Tuodu went back, he complained in front of Ezhe, full of grievances.
"Anda, calm down, calm down, don't get impatient! Come and have a cup of tea. Akasri comforted as he handed over a cup of tea.
"Master, I'm really sore now!, how can you tell me to be calm!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and withdrew the tea in Chi Si Lie's hand, still resentful in his heart.
"Master, do you have any tricks to help me take the East Gate?" said Ezhe, holding Chi Silie's hand in anticipation.
"Huh...... Lord Wang, the city wall of Yangzhou is towering into the sky, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are sworn to resist. Our army could not attack for a long time, and the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, so General Tuodu and them rested for a few days, and watched the artillery offensive on General Duoduo's side. Chi Si Lie smiled faintly.
"The mage is reasonable, drag the capital, do you hear it, just follow the teacher's opinion!" Ezhe ordered.
"Alas...... A group of turtle kings and eight calves!" Drag Du sighed.
Hearing that Dolgon led an army of 100,000 to drain the water around Yangzhou City, the generals in the Yangzhou City Army were very anxious and chaotic, and the generals also had two completely different views on whether to garrison Yangzhou City, one faction fought the main battle, and the other faction surrendered, and the atmosphere became embarrassing every time, as if they were brewing a quarrel.
The Qing army, under the personal command of Duoduo, began to attack the city in turn. Shi Kefa personally sat in the city tower every day to command, Shi Kefa drew his sword and stood on the city tower and shouted: "Listen to me, my Ming Dynasty foundation for hundreds of years, can not be destroyed in the hands of this group of Tartars! Yangzhou City cannot be destroyed in my hands! The Manchu Qing Tartars are ferocious, and they have slaughtered countless cities in the past battles! We Yangzhou people are all iron-clad men, and our backbone is hard, so none of us can be soft eggs! No one can be cowardly! Expel the Tartars, defend my Ming Dynasty! Drive out the Tartars, defend my Ming Dynasty, and ...... them."
Inspired by Shi Kefa's patriotic spirit, the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou united as one, resisted to the death, and repelled the Qing army's attacks again and again. Seeing that three days had passed, Yangzhou City was still immovable, and Duoduo was also anxious.
"Regent, don't worry about Lao Fan's set! What is according to the will of the people, recruit the people, and then be consumed by this group of shrinking turtles, we must be consumed to death by them! The strong attack cannot be carried out, and our army will also suffer heavy casualties! The artillery is all in place, please give the order of the regent, bombard Yangzhou City every day, and send this group of remnants of the Donglin Party who do not know the importance of it back to the west!" Duoduo said solemnly.
"Okay! Tomorrow we will open the way for my Eight Banners and wash Yangzhou in blood!" Dolgon cut the railway.
At the beginning of the fourth day of the attack on Yangzhou City, Duoduo put fifty red-clothed cannons in front of Yangzhou City, drew out his long knife, waved his knife and ordered "Open the cannon!" and bombarded Yangzhou City.
"General, there is a woman outside the city, who calls herself Hedong Jun Liu, and she brought a batch of herbs, wine, meat, and armor in ten carriages to comfort the soldiers, and also brought dozens of women to come. We feel that something is wrong, and we are afraid of deception, so we dare not let us go, so please ask the general to decide!"
"Hurry up, please!" With that, Shi Kefa hurriedly ran out of the door to greet Liu Ru is party.
"General, is this person Lord Qian Qianyi's beloved concubine Liu Ruyi?" asked the chief soldier Zhao Ji curiously, and followed closely.
"It's Qin Huai Bayan's Liuwu Jun-Liu Ruyi, Lord Qian's wife!" Shi Kefa said hurriedly.
"Huh...... I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this. Liu Ru is proficient in music and rhythm, long sleeves and good at dancing, calligraphy and painting are also famous, her paintings are skillful and simple, clear and beautiful; calligraphy is deeply appreciated by later generations, saying that her calligraphy - iron fist with silver hook, once collected the wonderful trace. I have heard her name for a long time, but I have not seen him, how fortunate I am today! I never thought that Mrs. Qian would come to Yangzhou City to work in the army, what a strange woman!" Xing Zhaoji praised again and again.
"Liu Ru is a strong personality, courageous and wonderful, known for her chivalry in the south of the Yangtze River, since the Southern Ming Dynasty resisted the Qing Dynasty, she often called on Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen, raised materials, and ran to the front line of the anti-Qing army, this is not surprising!" Shi Kefa said excitedly.
Shi Kefa and Xing Zhaoji were rushing to the city gate, while talking about this strange woman Liu Ruyi, it was Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as he walked out of the lobby, he met Liu Rushi and his party, "General Shi, this is so polite!" Liu Ru, who was wearing a white linen dress, bent down to salute, and more than a dozen women behind her also greeted each other.
"Hedongjun, please get up quickly! Please get up quickly!" Shi Kefa hurriedly helped Liu Ruis up, and everyone stood up together.
"Hedongjun, I have admired the name for a long time, I can see you today, I am fortunate to have three lives! I am fortunate to have three lives!" Shi Kefa said with a smile, "Lord Qian, how are you doing lately?!"
"Hedongjun, long admiration! long admiration!" Xing Zhaoji clenched his fists and praised.
"Old Qian, everything is fine, thank you Lord Shi for your concern! Lord Shi, I saw that Lao Qian has been reluctant to give up these days, and I inquired and learned that the war in Yangzhou was tight, so I brought some wine, meat, and armor to the soldiers. The front line is depressed, and I also came a group of Jinling sisters to sing and dance to relieve the boredom of the Yangzhou soldiers and cheer them up!
"Don't hide it from Hedongjun, the Qing army has red-coated cannons, reinforcements have not arrived, my soldiers defending the city have been fighting hard for a few days, and now the morale of the soldiers is indeed low. That's fine, let the soldiers watch the singing and dancing performances, and boost morale! Please!"
When they came to the base camp, Xing Zhaoji divided more than a dozen carts of wine, meat, and armor brought by Liu Ruyi to the soldiers, and all the soldiers gathered around the bonfire, drinking and eating meat happily, and some cried with joy, because they had not eaten such good wine and meat for a long time.
"Soldiers of Yangzhou, I know that you have been fighting hard for several days, and my heart is as tormented as everyone else, and your wives, your children, and your old mothers at home are also looking forward to your triumphant return home as soon as possible! The Manchu Tartars are ferocious and indiscriminately kill innocents, and everywhere they pass, corpses are strewn all over the field, and the common people are full of complaints! Therefore, soldiers, for the sake of our wives, children, and old mothers at home, we must guard Yangzhou City well! Only when there is a country can there be a home, and our sons and daughters in Jiangnan are all iron-clad heroes! Don't let Yangzhou become the next Beijing again! Drive out the Tartars, defend the homeland! Drive out the Tartars, defend the homeland......" Liu Ru raised a torch to cheer for the Yangzhou soldiers, Liu Ru brought more than a dozen women to the soldiers, sent them herbs, bandaged wounds, changed plasters, shhh
"Drive out the Tartars, defend the homeland! Expel the Tartars, defend the homeland......" The soldiers of the base camp of Yangzhou City stood up and shouted passionately, the bonfire was exceptionally warm and bright, as if the sunshine in everyone's heart, and this night was also particularly warm.
"It's really worthy of being a talented woman and a fierce woman! A born daughter should be like a willow!" Seeing that the weak Qin Huai Bayan in front of him was so impassioned, Xing Zhaoji couldn't help but praise.
"Hahaha...... Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times?" Shi Kefa patted Xing Zhaoji on the shoulder and smiled.
"Soldiers, we Jiangnan women will always be your gentlest backing, especially your wives! Let our singing and dancing wish you tomorrow's triumph!" After that, Liu Ru sat on the ground, stroked the piano and played the music, and sang the "Jiangchengzi" composed by her affectionately.
The old man chatted about the madness of youth, the left led the yellow, the right Qingcang,
Brocade hat mink fur, thousand horses roll Pingoka.
In order to repay the city, follow the Taishou, shoot the tiger in person, and watch Sun Lang.
The wine is still open. Sideburns are slightly creamy, so what's the matter!
In the clouds, when will Feng Tang be sent?
Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf.
The sound of the piano started, the singing was ethereal, more than a dozen women brought by Liu Ru danced around the bonfire, the sound of the piano was curling, the singing was full of pride, the passionate dance steps of the women, accompanied by the surging drums, made the Yangzhou City base camp full of strength.
"She is worthy of being a talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, this Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi" is suitable for the occasion!" Shi Kefa couldn't help but say.
"Hedongjun, isn't it boring to play alone! Since the ancient qin is harmonious, the mountains and rivers are flowing water, how can this be so rare for the old man?!" After that, Xing Zhaoji walked to the bonfire with his sword and danced, and sang in his mouth:
The old man chatted about the madness of youth, the left led the yellow, the right Qingcang,
Brocade hat mink fur, thousand horses roll Pingoka.
In order to repay the city, follow the Taishou, shoot the tiger in person, and watch Sun Lang.
The wine is still open. Sideburns are slightly creamy, so what's the matter!
In the clouds, when will Feng Tang be sent?
Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf.
"Hehehe...... It's been a long time since I've seen Zhaoji so happy. Shi Kefa couldn't help but laugh.
The proud singing and dancing, the passionate dance steps, and the family interpretation of the old general...... Let the vast number of soldiers ignite a strong sense of family and country, everyone was moved, they stood up one after another, clapped their hands and beat the drums, and sang the song "Jiangchengzi" together, the song was monstrous, echoed for a long time; tonight, the morale of the soldiers in Yangzhou City was greatly boosted, and many people were in tears, determined to live and die together with Yangzhou.
"Thank you, Hedongjun!" After the song and dance performance, General Shi Kefa personally sent Liu Ru and his party back to Jinling in a carriage.
"Hedongjun, have a good trip!" Xing Zhaoji shouted, watching Liu Ru is carriage disappear into the night. Liu Ru's thoughts of home and country evoked in Yangzhou City were indeed inspiring, and the soldiers with low morale recalled the warmth of their homes.
"Qiyu Regent, there are singers in Yangzhou City, it is very strange, I have come to report!"
"Hehehe...... The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. Dolgon looked at Yangzhou City and smiled coldly.
Two days after Duoduo bombarded Yangzhou City one after another, Shi Kefa was also very sad when he looked at the wounded and disabled soldiers on the city tower, but he still clenched his fists and waited for Zhu Yousong's reinforcements. The main surrender faction was even more shaken, and they persuaded Shi Kefa to accept Dorgon's letter of surrender:
"General, Zhu Yousong is an emperor who is addicted to wine, mediocre and absurd, and Ma Shiying monopolizes power and openly sells official positions, which has made the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty into a miasma! For the safety of the people, don't you be stupid and loyal?"
"General, Da Ming has brought disaster to the country and the people because of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and the Ming Dynasty has exhausted its qi, and you and I have no skills to return to the sky. I hope that the general will remember the safety of the people in the city, open the city gate and surrender......!
Facing the flag-waving and shouting of the Qing army outside the city wall, Shi Kefa was very tormented in his heart: "There are millions of people in the city, try to ask who will not be timid, my subordinates have repeatedly persuaded me to surrender to the Qing army, otherwise Yangzhou City may be slaughtered by the Tartars; And Zhu Yousong just said a few "um" lightly at that time, and he couldn't even say a decent word, and he didn't have the responsibility of an emperor at all. Shi Kefa felt that he couldn't exert any strength in Nanjing, so he took the initiative to ask to go to the front line to resist the Qing Dynasty to lead the army and kill the enemy to serve the country. I didn't expect Yangzhou City to fall into such a situation today, and I think it is also being cleaned up.
When he came back to his senses, Shi Kefa, who had been determined to serve the country loyally since he was a child, said righteously: "I was born Shi Kefa a person from Yangzhou City, and my death was a ghost of Yangzhou City! Even if the corpse is broken into thousands of pieces, I am willing. If you feel that you can't enjoy all the glory and wealth with me, then please take care of yourself. ”
As a result, Shi Kefa's subordinates defected to the Qing army that night, Shi Kefa climbed the city tower, looked at the Qing army stationed under the city, walked around the city tower with his right hand according to the scabbard, his heart was anxious, looking at the cold moon in the sky and sighed: "Alas, is the sky going to kill my Ming Dynasty?" Even though my troops are limited now, and my two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, I can't be sorry for the foundation of the first emperor, and I am sorry for the Ming Sheji!"
The chief soldier Xing Zhaoji offered advice: "General, don't you hear the story of Guan Yunchang flooding the Seventh Army? If we bring in the water of the Huai River now, we can take advantage of the favorable conditions of the high terrain in Yangzhou City to flood the base camp of the Qing army, and then completely cover up and kill it, which can greatly destroy the Qing army!"
Shi Kefa held on to the railing, thought for a while, and replied with righteous words: "Flooding Yangzhou will cause countless innocent people to be drowned or homeless! Even if Yangzhou is saved, my Ming Dynasty will gradually lose the support of the people!"
"Well, what should we do?" The chief soldier Xing Zhaoji rubbed his hands and said.
"Outside, three Anhui righteous soldiers have come to defend their homes and the country, waiting outside the door to meet the general!" At this time, a guard came to report.
"Hurry, hurry, please!" Shi Kefa said excitedly, and hurriedly prepared to go out to greet him, thinking to himself, "Yangzhou City is already in such a situation, those generals have fled and surrendered, and at this time, there are righteous people from the rivers and lakes who come to help, what a hero!"
Without waiting for Shi Kefa to step out of the door, Mo Feiyu, Meiwu Qin Master and Hongying had already strode in front of Shi Kefa under the leadership of the guards, knelt down on one knee and said: "We are Anhui Zhuxian sent Mo Feiyu, Dugu Shanglian, and Hongying, to take the hero post, and come to help in the battle and defend the homeland together!"
"Okay! What a hero! Three righteous men please get up quickly!" "Come on! Look at the tea!" Shi Kefa said excitedly.
"General, this ...... Zhuxian Sect? It doesn't seem to be the Wuyue Sword Sect, I haven't heard much of it. Chief Soldier Zhaoji scratched his head and thought for a while, then leaned into Shi Kefa's ear and whispered.
"Do these false names matter? Look at those Wuyue Sword Sects before, they have only been here for a day, and now they are all running away and even a figure is gone. Zhaoji, you still don't understand these people......" Shi Kefa shook his head lightly and said, the chief soldier Zhaoji was instantly red-faced.
"Three righteous men, come to drink tea, drink tea!" Shi Kefa laughed before Mo Feiyu and they drank tea, and was reminded by Xing Zhaoji's words, and fell into deep thought, "Yes, at this time, those who really stay to defend the country are the real heroes, and the others are just some two-faced villains who chase fame and fortune and see the wind and steer the rudder, they all want to get a piece of the pie if they have fame and fortune, danger is coming, and they run faster than anyone else." ”
"Three righteous soldiers, to tell the truth, at present, Dolgon's 100,000 troops are approaching the city, our army is less than 6,000 people, and the troops are divided into three city gates, and the battle is tight! Dare to ask the three righteous men if they have a good strategy for retreating from the enemy?" said the chief soldier Xing Zhaoji frankly.
Mo Feiyu and the others were taken aback when they heard this, Mo Feiyu put down the teacup and smiled softly: "It's okay, tomorrow we will go out of the city to meet the enemy and explore the truth." "I thought" This disparity in strength is really huge, why did Emperor Nanming go. ”
The next day, the Qing army Duoduo led the army to the city of Yangzhou to call for battle, "I, the Qing Dynasty, obey the mandate of heaven, and it is the trend of the times to dominate the world! In the land I passed, all the people surrendered, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the young were supported, and the old were dependent, which was really the blessing of all the people! The regent was merciful and repeatedly stressed that he should not bombard Yangzhou City, but he and other subjects violated the people of heaven, stubbornly resisted, and swore to resist to the death, and ended up in misery! According to the order of the regent, today you will open the city gate and surrender, our army will still enter the city without committing any crime, if it is still stubborn, the day of entering the city will be the time to slaughter the city!"
Mo Feiyu, Lonely Shanglian, and Hongying rode three horses out of the city gate and came to the Qing army, the Qing army was shocked and discussed:
"Why did three people come out?"
"Who are they?"
"Could it be a few more advanced mages?
"General, don't you hear that the way of heaven is more than what is lost and what is not enough. The Qing Dynasty has taken over the Ming Dynasty, why are you still so aggressive and kill them all?" Mo Feiyu drove forward.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name? Your Excellency has not heard that the way of man is not enough to give more than enough. Now that the Ming Dynasty has exhausted its spirits, Zhu Yousong is even more arrogant and lascivious, and he is completely deaf, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are living in dire straits, and I, the Qing Dynasty, am ordered by heaven to save all the people from fire and water! Why do you want to help the people to abuse and aggravate the suffering of the people's war?" Duoduo put his sword into the sheath and stepped forward on his horse, thinking to himself, "These three people dare to go out alone to meet the enemy, and they are fearless in the face of fifty red-clothed cannons. ”
"General, we are the Huangshan Zhuxian faction in Anhui Province, I hope that the general will put down the butcher knife and kill the evil less! Everything has a fixed number, yin and yang are exchanged, otherwise the extreme Tailai is coming, and I hope that the general will think twice and don't regenerate the spirit!" Mo Feiyu continued.
"It turns out that Your Excellency is a master of the world, no wonder you are arrogant and courageous! But Your Excellency should understand the reincarnation of heaven and conform to the mandate of heaven, it is because the Ming Dynasty is closed and stubborn, which leads to the escalation of friction between the two countries in the trade of silk, cattle and sheep, and the Ming Dynasty is corrupt, the eunuchs are dictatorial, buying and selling officials, and all industries are withering, and I am thinking about rebuilding the new empire in the East, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and be happy! If Your Excellency can serve my Qing Dynasty, I will start the regent to be promoted to the rank of Lord, so it is really a blessing for all the people!"
"General, think too much! We are the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can we turn against each other? If this is the case, what face will we have after death to meet the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs?!" Mo Feiyu clenched his fists and refused to surrender.
"Your Excellency is a wise man, I hope that you will be more thoughtful, and do not insist on going your own way!" said Duoduo, pressing the scabbard of his sword, and rode back behind the red-coated cannon.
"Fire!" Dodor ordered as soon as he turned around and immediately waved his sword.
Hongying Fei immediately asked, pulled out the leather whip, jumped up, the long leather whip tied the cannon head of the red-clothed cannon, Hongying shook it hard, and the cannon head that had just been lit * turned around, and the cannonball shot at the Qing army, the Qing army was in chaos, Duoduo was shocked, and swung his knife at Mo Feiyu.
"Flying Fish Nine Style Third Style-Swordfish Meteor" Mo Feiyu flipped over in the air, the fish intestine sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, he swept his sword, and a row of sword qi slashed towards Duoduo like a meteor shower, Duoduo jumped, and Duoduo's mount immediately turned into two sections.
"My sweat and blood!" Duoduo shouted, shouting in grief, "Release the arrow!" As soon as the words fell, a rain-like array of arrows shot towards Mo Feiyu, seeing that Mo Feiyu was about to be shot into a hornet's nest, but Mo Feiyu did not dodge or dodge, "Flying Fish Nine Style Fifth - Fish Luck Hydrangea!" After that, Mo Feiyu jumped into the air, swung out the fish intestine sword and danced in the air, the sword blade was like the wind, the air was stagnant, those arrows trembled, and with a "rustle" sound was shocked to the ground, a round sword qi gathered those arrows that landed, It was kneaded into a round ball, and it rotated at high speed at the tip of the sword in the fish intestines, and in an instant, those arrows shattered one after another and turned into ashes. "Open the cannon!" Duoduo ordered again, as if he must put Mo Feiyu to death, and several red-clothed cannons were aimed at Mo Feiyu and the three of them.
"Flying Fish Nine Styles Sixth Style-Fish Penetrates!" Mo Feiyu was not in a hurry, he was like flying, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and a magnificent aura on the sword absorbed those cannonballs that came over, and those cannonballs flew and swayed in the wind and danced with the sword in Mo Feiyu's hand, and the Qing soldiers who saw it were stunned, and some were directly scared. Mo Feiyu stabbed the ground with the tip of his sword, and used his return force to sway those shells at the Qing army. "Hahaha......" Mo Feiyu laughed, and after a moment he put his sword into the sheath.
Having lost the battle, Dodor was so angry that he went back and drank a few glasses of wine, and remained silent. When Dorgon heard this, he felt strange, and went over to comfort Dorgon and said, "Brother, you have experienced a hundred battles and have made great achievements! There is no need to be angry about a small defeat, besides, you are a master of the world, and your martial arts are unfathomable, isn't it?
"Brother, don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious! I have changed my strategy, transferred twenty red-clothed cannons to Prince Ezhe, and fired cannons on both sides at the same time, which side of the city gate will break first and then send signal flares, and attack together. You go back and prepare your troops, and I'll go with you to meet them this time!" Dorgon said confidently as he patted Dorgon on the shoulder, pressing the Red Sky Sword in his hand.
Mo Feiyu won the first battle, Shi Kefa was excited, and prepared to celebrate him in the evening. Shi Kefa patted Mo Feiyu on the back and said: "Mo Yishi has worked hard, I will celebrate you tonight! Sure enough, young talent, good job! I am optimistic about you!"
"The carving insect skills, why worry about it! The general has won the award! The general guards the country and the people, and it is the hard work that is high!" Mo Feiyu said humbly. The master of the Meiwu piano smiled and said nothing.
Soon, Dolgon and Duoduo came to the city again, and Mo Feiyu and the three of them immediately went into battle.
Dolgon Tima walked to the front of the three armies, held down the scabbard of the Chixiao Sword, looked at Mo Feiyu and said with a smile: "Hahaha...... If you win, I, Dolgon, will lead my troops back to Beijing, and will not attack Yangzhou City within three years; if you lose, please ask the three strong men to go back to their respective homes, find their own mothers, and don't obstruct my road to the Qing Dynasty's domination of the world!"
"Okay! You're Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, right?!" A gentleman says, it's hard to chase a horse!" Mo Feiyu replied confidently, and the master of Meiwu glanced at him, and said with a clear heart, "Xianggong, be careful of deceit!" "Lian'er, I know. Rest assured. ”
"A gentleman's word, the horse is hard to chase!!" Dolgon shouted, looking at all the soldiers around, "This is a two-person PK competition, no matter whether you win or lose, none of you can make a move!"
"Wow!" the Qing army replied in unison.
Mo Feiyu stepped forward immediately, "Flying Fish Nine Styles Sixth Form - Fish Penetrates!" Mo Feiyue horse volleyed, pulled out the fish intestine sword, and flew like a fly, the pen walked the dragon snake, and a magnificent qi on the fish intestine sword swam, he volleyed in the air, and slashed at Dolgon with a sword.
Dorgon tightened his grip on the reins and leaped from his horse, dodging the sword. Mo Feiyu was taken aback, and quickly came with another sword, Dolgon immediately jumped from the horse, pulled out the Chixiao Sword, and instantly the sky above Yangzhou City was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, a red dragon flew out of the Chixiao Sword, the red dragon flew into the lightning and roared, like a red light flew directly into his body from Dolgon's heavenly spirit cover, Dolgon's body shook for a while, and his whole body began to burn, but there was no pain, he felt that there was infinite heat flowing in his body, and a hundred points were penetrated, and the whole person was like an erupting volcano. Dolgon flew to the sky above Yangzhou, raised the Chixiao Sword and slashed towards Mo Feiyu, with a burst of "boom" sounds, one after another firelight burst out from the Chixiao Sword, "Flying Fish Nine Style Seventh Style-Ten Thousand Fish Dynasty Sect" Mo Feiyu turned the fish intestine sword in his hand, a thick round balloon shrouded Mo Feiyu, Dolgon's Chixiao sword split on Mo Feiyu's round balloon, for a time it was dark, electric light, gunsmoke was filled, Dolgon held the sword tightly with both hands and pressed down, Mo Feiyu tried his best to resist, and finally the fierce and abnormal Chixiao sword split Mo Feiyu's round balloon, with a "boom", Mo Feiyu spit blood, holding the fish intestine sword and retreating a few steps repeatedly. Master Meiwu and Hongying hurriedly ran forward to help Mo Feiyu, touched his pulse and chest, and asked eagerly, "Xianggong, are you okay?"
"Huh...... Lian'er, I'm fine. Mo Feiyu said with a smile.
"Strongman, you have lost! I hope you will keep the gentleman's covenant and withdraw from Yangzhou City with your two friends!" Dolgon put his sword into his sheath and rode forward.
"Don't worry! It's because my skills are not as good as others, and if a gentleman says a word, it's hard to chase a horse! We'll leave Yangzhou tonight. Mo Feiyu looked at Dolgon.
"That's good!" Dorgon turned and went back to the camp.
No wonder the eldest brother said that in Baicheng, Mongolia, before he woke up, the second brother took Baicheng and captured Ezhe. It turns out that the second brother really has a lot of magic power!" Duoduo said in horror, stunned as he watched from the sidelines.
At that moment, a flare was raised from the east gate, "Lord Regent, they have entered the east gate!"
"Duoduo, I will lead 10,000 cavalry to the east gate to help, and your men and horses are here to wait for work, in case Shi Kefa escapes!"
The east gate of Yangzhou City fought fiercely for two hours, the corpses inside and outside the city were already all over the field, the moat was blood-red, the smoke of gunpowder was billowing on the city wall, and the flames of war were flying. Ezhe led Tuodu, Chisilie and others to enter through the crack in the shelling, and the two armies fell into a melee situation.
General Xing Zhaoji and the soldiers of the East Gate Base Camp were fighting with the Qing army, while singing Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi", as if they were enjoying this hearty battle.
The old man chatted about the madness of youth, the left led the yellow, the right Qingcang,
Brocade hat mink fur, thousand horses roll Pingoka.
In order to repay the city, follow the Taishou, shoot the tiger in person, and watch Sun Lang.
The wine is still open. Sideburns are slightly creamy, so what's the matter!
In the clouds, when will Feng Tang be sent?
Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf.
"Kill!" Tuodu raised the Xuantian giant axe, slashed left and right, and killed the enemy bravely, where he passed, the flesh and blood of the Ming army flew sideways, and it was unbearable to see; the goshawk roaring in the sky fluttered its wings around the Ming army and pecked them blind, and the Ming army who was pecked blind by the goshawk was in unbearable pain, holding a knife in the ranks of the Ming army to rush and slash and kill, Xing Zhaoji was heartbroken, and ordered "The Ming army that was pecked blind by the goshawk was killed on the spot, so as not to hurt the innocent!"
"Ah!" Seeing Xiaotian being shot, the grief-stricken drags all the way with the Xuantian giant axe and slashed all the way, killing directly to the base camp of the east gate of the Ming army, and the person who passed by was the person who fell to the ground. Xing Zhaoji jumped forward, raised the long embroidered spring knife and rushed towards Tuodu, before Tuodu could react, Xing Zhaoji tightened the reins, the front hooves of the war horse jumped up, and Tuodu was shocked, Xing Zhaoji swung his knife and cut off Tuodu's right arm. "Ahh
"Anda!" "Anda!" Ezhe and Wo Kuoxian saw that they were all killed, and while roaring, they raised their bows and arrows, opened their bows left and right, and shot at Xing Zhaoji in the chaos together, and Ezhe shot an arrow at Xing Zhaoji's ankle, and Xing Zhaoji immediately fell off his horse, "Hahaha...... General, the old man is worthy of the Ming Dynasty!" Xing Zhaoji stuck the embroidered spring knife on the ground and laughed. With a "whoosh", Wo Kuoxian pierced his heart with an arrow, and Xing Zhaoji fell to the ground in response, and was immediately hacked to death by the besieging Mongolian cavalry.
"Anda!" Wo Kuoxian pulled out the spear on Tuodu's body, hugged the dead Tuodu and cried, and was not careful, and was hacked to death by a Ming soldier who got up behind him.
"Burning Sky Palm!" Chi Si Lie roared, he floated in mid-air, his entire body shrouded in a thick cloud of red fire, and the flames soared into the sky. Chi Silie jumped into the east gate base camp of the Ming army, moved his palms left and right, and quickly struck out, and the flame palms that were continuously shot out flew towards the Ming troops who rushed to them like clusters of fireballs, and the landlord Li and Zhong Du also made their moves, and knocked down countless Ming troops with "Pai Yun Palm" from the left and right wings, and the Ming army's base camp instantly fell into a sea of fire, and the whole army was wiped out.
When Dolgon arrived with his army, the Battle of the East Gate had already ended, and Ezhe looked coldly at the battlefield strewn with corpses and rivers of blood, his face expressionless, because he had lost the two good Anda of Wo Kuoxian and Tuodu, as well as the goshawk howling sky. Zhong Du looked at all this, and suddenly "separated" for a moment, and wanted to vomit, thinking to himself, "The war is really terrible! When will the people be at peace?"
"Capture Shi Kefa alive!" Dolgon roared angrily, walked over and patted Ezhe on the shoulder and said, "Anda, the Si people have passed away, cherish!" Later, Wo Kuoxian and Tuo were posthumously named "Prince Zhide" and "Prince Xiaoyong" by Dolgon, and their descendants will always be hereditary.
The master of Meiwu Qin and Hongying helped Mo Feiyu and retreated to Yangzhou City, where they saw Shi Kefa's dusty general.
"Yishi, how is your injury?!I am afraid that this celebration banquet cannot be held, the east gate has been broken by the Qing army's artillery, General Xing Zhaoji was killed, and the 3,000 Ming army at the east gate was wiped out, and now only 2,000 troops of our department are left. Alas...... This Yangzhou city can't be saved, and King Fu's reinforcements haven't arrived yet. Alas......" Shi Kefa looked at the blood stains on the corner of Mo Feiyu's mouth and said apologetically.
"General, I'm fine. In my opinion, King Fu's reinforcements will not come, you can retreat with us! The green mountains left behind, not afraid of no firewood!" Mo Feiyu persuaded, and spit out another mouthful of blood as he spoke.
"Righteous man, let's go, Nanming still needs you! As the commander of the three armies, if I escape from the battle, won't I make the people of the world laugh? Yangzhou is here, Shi Kefa is here! Yangzhou is broken, Shi Kefa is dead!" After that, Shi Kefa pushed Mo Feiyu away and ran straight to the Yangzhou City Tower to command the battle.
Mo Feiyu, Meiwu Qin Master, and Hongying had to ride away, but they didn't expect that as soon as they escaped from the city, they found that the pursuers were swarming and killing people when they saw them, and corpses were everywhere all the way. Seeing that the pursuers were about to be killed, "Xianggong, Sister Hongying, you go first, I will break the back, and we will meet in Jinling in three days." Mo Feiyu looked at the master of Meiwu Qin, and his heart was full of thoughts, "Lian'er, I know that you want to let these Tartars have a longer memory, you also have to be careful!"
After that, Mei Wuqin watched Hongying and Mo Feiyu leave.
Master Meiwuqin rode a horse, raised his hand and flicked his fingers, and the "bang" two sounds broke through the quiet air around him, and two swords like electric air shot towards the Qing soldiers chasing behind him, and those Qing soldiers fell off their horses and died. The owner of the Meiwu piano quickly whipped up, came to the city of Yangzhou, jumped to the Yangzhou city tower, pulled out a pocket guqin from the sleeve, blew lightly, the guqin immediately became longer and bigger, and a guqin was born in a moment, the owner of the Meiwu qin calmly picked up the qin, plucked the strings leisurely, a melodious sound of the piano quickly formed a circular true qi ring enveloped her, the cannonballs and arrows shot by the Qing army exploded and slipped down when they touched the true qi ring, but the true qi circle of the Meiwu qin master was unharmed. The master of Meiwuqin continued to play the piano calmly, and suddenly she "banged" and stretched a string, and suddenly let go of the strings, and a powerful sword qi shot like an arrow from the string through the true qi circle to the Qing army under the city of Yangzhou. Frightened, silent, and led the army back.
"General, bring a message to the regent Dolgon, and ask him not to be too arrogant! Daming is not without one! You can take his dog's head at any time!" After that, the master of Meiwu Qin flew down the city tower with the qin, and rode a horse to chase Mo Feiyu and them.
Looking at the distant Meiwu Qin Master, Duoduo said calmly, "Okay, you can clean up Shi Kefa!" ordered to continue to bombard Yangzhou City, and one by one the shells whistled and fell to the northwest corner, and the city wall of the West Gate was finally blown up into a big gap.
Duoduo rushed to kill with his sword, and the Qing army rushed into the city like a tide, and Shi Kefa, who was covered with dust, was grief-stricken when he saw that the city was broken, and he was about to commit suicide when he drew his sword, and was taken down by his subordinates. The generals persuaded Shi Kefa to protect Xiaodongmen.
"General, Nanming depends on you! You must be strong and must live!" the soldiers persuaded. Suddenly, a pair of Qing soldiers passed by, and when they saw Shi Kefa's Ming Dynasty official decoration, they shouted and asked, "Tell me, who are you?"
Shi Kefa was afraid of affecting his subordinates, so he held his head high and shouted: "I am Shi Kefa! The person you want to arrest is me, and it has nothing to do with the people of Yangzhou City, and I hope that the regent will let the people of Yangzhou City spare!"
"You've all become prisoners, and you're still so verbose! Do you still think you're still a general?!" With that, the Qing soldiers escorted Shi Kefa to Duoduo.
When Duoduo heard that he had captured Scofa, he personally came to persuade him to surrender.
"General Shi, the master of high merit, has become like this now. If you want to blame all this, you can blame the blessed king Zhu Yousong for being arrogant, lascivious, and incompetent, and he is a powerful general, and he should shine for the society and seek well-being for the people! Now that the Qing Dynasty has unified the world and recruited all the world's talents, how about General Shi not as well as submitting to my Qing Dynasty? Look at Fan Wenchen, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming...... Aren't they all for my Qing Dynasty's achievements!The regent is humble and tolerant of all rivers, hoping that General Shi will stay and serve my Qing Dynasty!" Duoduo tried to persuade a lot, and his mouth was dry, but Shi Kefa was unwavering.
"I'm sorry! You Manchu Tartars! It's better to go back to Liaodong! You still want to dominate the world! No one has died in life since ancient times, and you have to take care of your sweat! If you want to kill, you have to be happy! Don't be like a girl in that mess! Lao Tzu doesn't eat that!" Shi Kefa scolded.
In the end, Duoduo showed a hideous face, but he said hypocritically: "Since you are a loyal minister, I will kill you and fulfill your honor!"
"Shi Kefa, a true hero, a thick burial!" Dolgon remembered his loyalty and ordered Shi Kefa to be buried thickly.
After a bloody battle and heavy casualties, the Qing army finally captured the city of Yangzhou. On the second day, a cremation ceremony was held for Wo Kuoxian and Tuodu, and Duoduo ordered: "Slaughter the city of Yangzhou for ten days to comfort the souls of the dead soldiers in the sky!" Within ten days, 800,000 lives in Yangzhou City were wiped out in an instant, and the city was even more in a mess, and none of the people in the city were spared.
