The reconnaissance platoon was all the killers who had followed the people from Liaodong at the beginning, and they all disappeared into the darkness with daggers in their hands and blowpipes in their mouths.

After lying in ambush near the sentry post for a while, the dark sentry was discovered. Crawl over slowly, and the blowpipe blows hard and nails it to the head. The sharp blow needle was coated with anesthetic, and the dark whistle didn't even snort and didn't move.

Kill the Dark Sentinel, and the Clear Sentinel is even simpler. Sneak past it, then jump like a leopard. The sharp dagger slashed through the neck, and the force was so great that it almost cut off half of the neck.

After clearing the obstacles, Zu band led his battalion of men and horses inside.

Yangzhou Wharf is brightly lit because of the light. Zu Kuan could see everyone on the dock clearly, but the people on the dock couldn't see Zu Kuan. Until a group of "whooping" and "whooping" guys rushed into the dock while firing their guns. The people on the dock are in a mess!

Zu Kuan was a little strange, there were only a few soldiers defending the dock. Most of the rest of the people are people, and they don't care so much at this time. Burn the ship and the grain and leave!

Hundreds of cavalry descended from the mountain like tigers, killing the guards of the guards. The people all fell to their knees and shouted, "Grandpa Hero, spare your life!" Grandpa Hero's life! ”

Zu Kuan couldn't cry or laugh a little, he fucked Lao Tzu as a bandit. What I didn't say, let people gather the people. Let them gather the sacks and prepare a fire to go back to sleep.

When Zu Kuan saw a man alone, carrying a sack in each hand, he felt that something was wrong. This sack of grain is afraid that it is not less than 100 catties, and it does not look like the man is skinny and powerful.

Between the lightning and flint, the scimitar in his hand split the sack. Seeing the contents clearly, Zu Kuan felt his scalp tingle!

Those yellow and clear things are not rice, but straw! Damn, these sacks are full of straw. This kind of sack bag can be picked up by one person.

The sack that was supposed to hold the rice was now full of straw, and the fool knew what was going on.

"Withdraw! Snare! Zu Kuan's frightened shout rang out.

Almost at the same time, the first mortar shells fell.

"Boom!" The cannonball landed about 30 meters away from Zukuan, and the two cavalrymen who were driving the people to work were directly removed from their horses. I don't know how many shrapnel I was hit by on my body, and I feel like blood is coming up and down my body.

The people were even more miserable, and a scream could be heard in the smoke of gunfire.

"Let's go, go north." Zu Kuan roared loudly, reached out and grabbed a torch, and took the lead in galloping north while shaking it.

In the dark, see the torches that are constantly shaking. All the cavalry immediately followed, and at this time mortar shells rained down. This time, the defenders of Yangzhou can be regarded as having made a bloody investment. This cavalry battalion must be killed!

I don't know how many of his subordinates were engulfed in scattered shrapnel, Zu Kuan just ran out while shaking the torch. When he ran out of the docks, he immediately threw the torch away. The dock behind him has become a sea of fire, and these Yangzhou defenders are really insidious. Some sacks of straw filled with fire oil were ignited by cannonballs and immediately burst into flames.

When Zu Kuan looked back, the Yangzhou wharf was already burning like a big torch. From time to time, people with fire rushed out of the fire, and the terrible howls made people's hearts tremble. It's so hanging! As long as it slows down a little, I guess I will also be engulfed in the fire. I don't know how many brothers were trapped in the fire, but no one will go back to save them at this time.

Can't be saved!

Zu Kuan only felt that there was the sound of wind all around his ears, and guns were being fired in all directions in the dark. The cavalry behind them returned fire scatteredly, and from time to time someone was shot and fell under his horse. Zu Kuan's heart was dripping blood, and he didn't know how many brothers would be able to go back alive this time.

With instinct, Zu Kuo's men fled north. The camp of the Liao army is in the north of Yangzhou, and when the sound of gunfire is heard at this time, Cao Wenzhao will definitely organize people to respond.

The damned Yangzhou defenders seemed to have been calculated, and there were ambushes everywhere along the way. The cavalry running at the front even stepped on a mine! Zu Kuan's heart fell straight down, this is a set set, just waiting for himself to get in. Now I am like a wild boar in a trap, even if I am full of brute strength, it is not easy to rush out alive.

Suddenly, a row of guns came from the front, and more than 30 people who ran in front fell off their horses like dumplings. Zu Kuan hurriedly lowered his body, feeling the bullet flying over the top of his head. Damn, how many people are shooting platoon guns.

"Hit! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating, and he must leave all the cavalry of the Liao army to Lao Tzu. Sun Kewang held the command knife in his hand and roared loudly.

The roar was drowned out by the roaring volley of gunfire, and even he couldn't hear it. But he was still yelling at the top of his voice, because he didn't know what to do at this time.

The platoon guns kept fighting, and his men kept turning on their backs. Judging by the muzzle flames, the human wall on the opposite side must be very dense. If the Liao army formed such a military formation, there would definitely be a trench or trap in front of the formation. Rushing over by yourself is simply sending you to death.

But the speed of the war horse has been raised to the extreme, and it is impossible to stop now. Even if there is a cliff on the opposite side, you can only jump down with your eyes closed.

Just when Zu Kuan was desperate, suddenly a cannonball exploded in the Yangzhou defenders.

Then came the second, and then the third......!

The shells continued to fall, blowing up the flesh and blood of the Yangzhou defenders. A thousand people were arranged in four rows, which was originally intended to carry forward continuous firepower. But it was a nightmare for the shells to fall in such a dense formation.

At this time, who still had the heart to shoot, they all scattered and fled like crazy. I don't know where to run, anyway, there is only one thought in my head now, and that is to run!

The military array in front of him scattered in a hurry, and Zu Kuan almost couldn't believe his eyes. Now I don't have time to think about where this shell came from, and the revolver in my hand keeps pulling the trigger. Shoot those fleeing Yangzhou defenders, if the estimate is good, this should be the last and largest number of defense lines, as long as they rush over, there is hope of survival.

"Kill!" At this time, it was useless to say anything, Zu Kuan shouted a sentence of kill in a hoarse voice.

The horse's hooves thundered, and the cavalry, who had already suffered more than half of the casualties, frantically rushed into the scattered formation. Those who are near are slashed with sabres, and those who are far away are shot with pistols. The sharp saber can leave hideous and terrible wounds on a person's body almost effortlessly with the galloping horsepower.

Sun Kewang's carefully assembled military formation collapsed almost instantly.

"Where to shoot, where to shoot." Sun Kewang looked at the scene in front of him with a stunned expression, just now he felt that he could completely annihilate this Liao cavalry. Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, his soldiers became lambs to the slaughter.

"Commander, let's go!" The soldiers desperately dragged the stupid Sun Kewang to flee for his life.

If it had been in the past, the Yangzhou defenders would have been very deadly if they fled for their lives like this. Zu Kuan would command the cavalry and frantically pursue these fleeing soldiers. In the end, it is likely that a few people will not survive, but what Zu Kuan wants to do most now is to run for his life. God knows how many Yangzhou defenders are gathering to their side.

At the head of Yangzhou City, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were watching the fierce battle under the city with great interest. For the Yangzhou defenders who have not experienced war all year round, most of them are on the battlefield for the first time.

"Who?" Everyone was watching with great interest, and suddenly a group of people came up from the city wall. There are about two dozen people, all wearing the uniforms of the Nanjing Forbidden Army. Tonight, there should be no talent from the Nanjing Forbidden Army at the head of the city.

"The ten divisions of the forbidden army must go down to the city to support. You're out of the way! The first big man, with a roar of urns, began to tie ropes on the battlements.

"This ......!" The patrol camp was a little confused, it was true that the city gates were not allowed to be opened these days, especially at night. In the event of an emergency military situation, it was all a rope that went down from the city. But this kind of thing must be done with a warrant from the guard. I haven't met these people in front of me, and I want to go down from the city wall without saying a word.

"Your Excellency, do you have a warrant from our Garrison?" A young man asked boldly.

"Quack! Without the warrants of your guards, we would not be able to go down without permission. Look closer! He casually showed a piece of paper and shook it in front of Shi Chang.

Shi Chang didn't know how to read at all, but he only saw a bright red seal at the end, which looked like a garrison. Hurriedly nodded and let go, the officers of the Nanjing Forbidden Army were all temperamental, but they didn't dare to offend.

Li Dingguo saw that the official seal engraved on the radish frightened the little chief, and he didn't talk nonsense, immediately put on gloves, and led this group of people down the city wall.

"Look at the people, in the end, it is the Nanjing Forbidden Army. The following have all achieved this virtue, and they dare to go down to support. ”

"That is, why don't you say how people are elites?"

"I heard that the recruits have just enlisted in the army, and they have two taels of silver a month."

"What's the chief, why don't they take the guy in their hands when they go down to support?"

"That's right! Why don't they take the guys? ”

The men all slid down the wall, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion remembered that they had not seen these men with weapons.

Li Dingguo didn't care about this, he got off the city wall and ran in the direction of the Liao army camp with people.

Just now, he took these artillery guns to save Zu Kuan, who was already waiting for death. These people will definitely be investigated and dealt with by the upper peak if they fire their guns privately. Li Dingguo could only take them to the Liao army overnight, of course, Li Dingguo still had something important on him, that is, the city defense map of Yangzhou City. The layout of Yangzhou City is drawn in detail and transparently.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Yangzhou must be defended, otherwise Nanjing will definitely not be able to hold it." Wen Tiren roared with a calm face.

In just half a year, the situation has changed dramatically. The Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty has owned most of China and has now lost half of the country. The Liao army in the north was almost pointed by the soldiers, and the cities and towns in the Southern Ming Dynasty fell to the wind.

Now the important town of Jiangbei, only Yangzhou has not been lost. If Yangzhou is lost again, Nanjing will be completely exposed to the Liao army. In any case, Wen Tiren does not want such a thing to happen, and now even if he fights all the forbidden troops in Nanjing, he must fight with the Liao army to fight the river.

"Ge Lao, Xia Guan has sent two divisions of the Jiangnan Forbidden Army to help defend Yangzhou. Nanjing has to leave some people to guard, if there is any accident, the imperial court must have soldiers to move south. Ma Shiying spread his hands, he was unwilling to send troops to Yangzhou again. Ma Shiying has read all the war reports that have come these days, and he believes that no matter how many soldiers he sends to Yangzhou now, he will send meat to the wolf's mouth.

"Nonsense! Ma Shiying, don't think the old man doesn't know. Your family has packed all the fine and soft and sent them to Yunnan in a truckload. I can tell you that Nanjing is the foundation of the imperial court, and there is absolutely no room for error. Losing Nanjing, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, it will be difficult to stand on your feet. Wen Tiren looked at Ma Shiying viciously, now he wanted to strangle this capitulation faction, but unfortunately his strength did not allow him to do so.

Ma Shiyingcai doesn't matter what you can stand up to or not, if it weren't for the fact that the foundation is too trendy, he is ready to join the Liao army. In Ma Shiying's view, it doesn't matter where you become an official, the important thing is to enjoy the glory and wealth.

I have worked hard and conscientiously to embezzle so much money, how can I do it without a good place to enjoy. If it weren't for the fear that he wouldn't be able to control the group of pro-soldiers under him, he would even want to resign from the military department now, and hurry up to smear oil on the soles of his feet. He had long seen that if the Nanjing Forbidden Army wanted to defeat the Liao Army, it would be impossible.

"Don't be angry, Elder Wenge, the old man thinks that there is some truth in what the Horse Soldiers Department said. Now that the soldiers, horses, money and food are in short supply, although the imperial court is now in control of the provinces south of the Yangtze River. But Fujian and Guangdong are actually controlled by Zheng Zhilong. Yungui has always been the territory of the Mu family!

It's a tough time! There are also signs of collapse in the imperial court, and we have to leave a backhand. If the Liao army conquers Yangzhou, it will march to Jinling. With the current defenders of Nanjing, it is impossible to hold the land of gold dust of the Six Dynasties.

The old man felt that the court should make a plan in advance. The Liao army is really advancing Jinling, and we also have a step back. Praise the power of the intention of the future generations! Ruan Dacheng stood firmly on Ma Shiying's side.

This brother left earlier than Ma Shiying, not to mention packing the things at home now. His eldest son had already escorted part of the family property to Yunnan, if he didn't still want to use this position to make some benefits. Ruan Dacheng is also ready to slip away!

Wen Tiren was so angry that his head was dizzy, these two bastards were thinking about themselves, not thinking about the court at all. When I didn't become the first assistant, I felt that this position was above 10,000 people under one person, and it was very majestic. Now that I have really reached this position, I know that the burden of the world is tied to my body, and how heavy this burden is.

"Report!" A lieutenant suddenly broke in and reported to the three people: "Three adults, Yangzhou is a great victory." Annihilating thousands of cavalry of the Liao army, this is the retribution of Lord Huang of Fuzun. ”
