88. The Yan army went south

Zhu Yunwen didn't know about this, how could the imperial court send troops.

The city of Jinan is overcrowded, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan are already standing at the head of the city, they are not sure to win Zhu Di, Sheng Yong still gritted his teeth and said: "Today I vow to live and die with Jinan Mansion, we should defend Jinan Mansion and be loyal to the court." ”

Tie Xuan nodded: "Sheng Dududu's words are enough, I, Tie Xuan, will lead the soldiers to fight to the death with Yan Rebellion, people are in the city, people are dead in the city!" ”

Not long after the words fell, I saw Yan Jun rushing over violently.

It was Zhu Di who took the lead, followed by Cheng Yuan and Zhang Yu.

On the tower of the city, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan immediately ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows at Cheng Yuan and Zhu Di, and the arrows came directly towards the Yan army like heavy rain.

Cheng Yuan was not as fast as Zhu Di to block the arrow, but he was very flexible, and was taken by the green arrow to the ox cart left by the victims in the front, and immediately rolled into it.

The green arrow himself ran away.

I have to say that this horse is really spiritual, so he ran to a short distance to graze quietly, ignoring the rain of swords and arrows in the distance.

Cheng Yuan lay under the car, and the oxcart plank on his head stabbed into the plank.

War is war, if you are not careful, you will be killed by stray arrows, Cheng Yuan lies under the ox cart looking for an opportunity.

Zhu Di and Qiu Fu were already hiding behind a shelter not far away.

Zhengba Village and Baihegou have clashed head-to-head with the Southern Army many times, and this time Cheng Yuan is still confident of winning.

Sheng Yong also had a number of bows and arrows, and it was impossible to shoot arrows all the time, and when the arrows stopped, the Yan army came out in the dark.

Zhu Di ordered people to set up camp near Jinan Mansion to discuss how to attack Jinan.

It has been discussed last night that it is necessary to attack Jinan, but there are some difficulties, and the siege battle is not good at doing this for the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei.

In addition, the Yan army has divided into several routes, and even if Jinan is defeated, it is still unknown whether it can hold it.

It is recommended to divide the fight and the non-fight into two groups.

It is recommended not to fight, feeling that they are not good at doing this, and if Li Jinglong's southern army is surrounded from behind, they will be cut off from the back road.

But Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng agreed with Cheng Yuan that they should fight.

Zhu Di was also embarrassed.

Cheng Yuan persuaded Zhu Di that if he just wanted to negotiate peace with the imperial court, then it didn't matter whether he fought Jinan Mansion or not, and it didn't make sense to fight it.

But the defectors King Ning, King Xiang, Duoyan Sanwei and those Yan soldiers, how will they be dealt with by the imperial court?

If you want to sit big and go to Yingtian to be an emperor, you can't go to attack the city indiscriminately as before, and leave indiscriminately.

It is necessary to have a plan and a goal, and to march towards the sky step by step, and it is necessary to expand its own territory, and only with the territory will there be money, food, and soldiers and horses.

Otherwise, the power will always be the north, let alone go south to respond to the sky, punish traitorous ministers, not to mention the side of the Qing monarch.

Cheng Yuan threw out his own opinion and handed over this matter to Zhu Di, hoping that he could think about it.

His words finally moved Zhu Di, who ordered the Yan army to start building siege equipment outside the city of Jinan and attacking Jinan Mansion.

…………

In the city of Jinan, food is getting scarce and scarce, and many refugees are fighting for food, and even the soldiers brought by Li Jinglong to flee are hungry and empty.

Li Jinglong nested in the city of Jinan, relying on Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan to save their lives.

Several wandering refugees ran to the gate of Jinan Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and the soldiers guarding the city shouted angrily: "Go back, go back!" ”

They were all stuffed into Jinan Mansion by Cheng Yuan as refugees, and this time the task was to think of a way to open the side door of Jinan Mansion and let Yan Jun in.

Therefore, during the day, I was thinking about how to approach the side door of Jinan Mansion.

Outside the city, Zhu Di commanded the Yan army to build siege equipment and asked: "Cheng Yuan, can the south side door of Jinan Mansion really be opened?" ”

Cheng Yuan nodded: "This matter is true." ”

Zhu Di nodded: "Tonight, we will all go to the south gate and wait, and when the side door opens, you will rush in immediately." ”

At night, the Yan army had quietly laid an ambush near the south gate, lying on the cold dirt and guarding it.

Cheng Yuan, who was busy with things, was also tired and almost paralyzed, and lay quietly behind the earthen bag ambushed by the Yan army.

He can only change many things in history, but there are some things that he can't change, do your best.

In the second half of the night, sure enough, the side door of Jinan Mansion creaked open, and the Yan army, which was like a flood of fierce beasts, rushed over.

The guards on the castle tower noticed the anomaly and immediately shot the "refugees" of the axe gang who opened the south gate with bows and crossbows.

The Yan army soon rushed in and scattered in the city of Jinan, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan did not expect that they would resist the Yan army this time, except for the bows and arrows they had just shot, the others were of no use at all.

But it was too late to regret it, and Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan had to mobilize soldiers and horses to block the south gate.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng took Duoyan Sanwei, changed the formation with the advantage of cavalry, and quickly entered the city of Jinan.

Sheng Yong lured and scolded Zhu Di, but Zhu Di remembered Cheng Yuan's advice and did not go to Sheng Yong's place.

Together with Zhu Neng Qiufu, Sheng Yong was directly defeated under the horse, and was stabbed to death by Zhu Neng.

Tie Hyun led his soldiers to meet the enemy, but he couldn't compare to Tie Hyun, who changed formation.

The soldiers were busy fighting against the Yan army.

The refugees were busy picking up steamed buns and buns that had fallen on the ground, and everyone was fighting for each other.

Zhu Di and Cheng Yuan told them not to harm the people in Jinan Mansion after the Yan army broke the city.

Yan Jun and Duoyan Sanwei also did the same.

The Yan army began to attack Jinan, and Li Jinglong, who received the news, did not leave resistance, and ran away from the north side of Jinan Mansion with the remaining more than 100,000 soldiers without combat effectiveness.

A few days later, Jinan Mansion became the territory of the Yan army, and Cheng Yuan took out the grain in the grain depot of Jinan Mansion and distributed it to the refugees, signaling them to live a good life, not to panic, and the Yan army would not do anything to them.

Later, Cheng Yuan went to take the brothers who died in the axe gang and let them be carried outside the city of Jinan Mansion to be buried.

Zhu Di looked at the three corpses and said, "I will remember your merits." When we are ready to go to the sky, we will also posthumously seal you. ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Lord Wang, they don't have any family members, and I am their only relative, so I want to personally send them off for the last journey." ”

Zhu Di nodded, signaled to find the best coffin in the city, buried the soldiers who died in battle, glanced at Cheng Yuan and said: "This time, thanks to listening to your words, I didn't have Zhongsheng Yong's plan." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "It should be." ”

After the Yan army repaired in Jinan Mansion, it waited for the other road armies to converge and continued to the south.

The southern army was defeated, and Li Jinglong was afraid when he heard that Zhu Di's army, and fled back to Yingtian with the remnants of his soldiers and horses overnight.

When the people in the court and the central government learned that Li Jinglong had returned with 100,000 remnants of troops, they were all taken aback, and they despised Li Jinglong for abandoning the city and fleeing, without the backbone of a Ming soldier.

For a while, a lot of music was like snowflakes on Zhu Yunwen's imperial case, which made Zhu Yunwen surprised and big.

He never expected that there were only more than 100,000 remnants of more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, so he immediately asked Wenchen to go to the imperial study to discuss matters.

Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Lian Zining, Fang Xiaoru and others had been taking them in the imperial study that day, and they didn't come out until dark.

When a waiter poured water, he inadvertently fell on Zhu Yunwen's robe and was directly pulled out and killed.

Snow and blood stained the steps of the imperial study, frozen together, and the other attendants saw this scene, and they were not only afraid but also disgusted with Zhu Yunwen.
