"Leave everything to me! If the minister cannot drive the Qing army out of Nanzhili, the minister should kill himself to thank His Majesty for his cultivation. ”

Qi Li said impassionedly to Zhu Cihong.

"Good!"

Zhu Cihong said.

Just one day later, Qi Li prepared all the grain and grass.

And in Yangzhou City, it was cast, and it was a general.

Qi Li personally summoned hundreds of senior generals of the Ming army and began to take the oath.

"Qi Li was originally the grandson of Qi Jinshu, and His Majesty did not despise me as a minister; On the contrary, I am so reused so that I can become the governor of Nanzhili today, because I am grateful, and the ministers swear with the generals that if they can't expel the Qing army from Nanzhili, it will be like this bowl! ”

After Qi Li finished speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl and immediately threw the bowl on the ground.

"Peng!"

With a loud bang from Peng, the bowl instantly split in half.

The generals on the stage drank the wine in the bowl one after another, followed Qi Li's example, and smashed the bowl to the ground.

"Peng! ....”

With a sound, the generals smashed all the bowls in their hands to the ground.

"Expelle the Qing soldiers and restore Zhili!"

The generals shouted in unison.

The sergeants were in high spirits.

After the oath was over, Qi Li divided his troops into two ways.

All the way, 100,000 people were led by their cronies to rescue Fengyang, and 200,000 people were led by Qi Li to reinforce Huai'an.

On top of the Yangzhou City Tower, Zhu Cihong stood at the head of the city, watching the mighty army gradually disappear from his sight.

"I hope they can expel the Qing army from Nanzhili."

Zhu Cihong said very apprehensively.

These 300,000 people temporarily formed an army, and their combat strength and equipment were far inferior to the five battalions of their own new army.

Now it's all about numbers, and the command has luck.

Half a month later, the inner city was about to be breached, and the defenders were almost completely lost.

"I'm going to die here today, and I'm going to die for the country in this life, although I die nine times, I don't regret it."

A general of the Ming army with more than 20 knives in his body looked at the Qing soldiers who climbed the city wall like a tide, and said to the Ming soldiers on the left and right

Later, after more than a dozen Qing soldiers killed the Ming troops on the left and right, the Ming army general rushed forward with a war knife in his hand.

After killing three Qing soldiers, he was surrounded and killed by the rest of the Qing soldiers.

Guo Shou, the general of the Qing army, ascended the inner city tower.

"Brothers! Kill me! ”

Qing army general Guo Shouzhen shouted.

The soldiers of the Qing army slaughtered the Ming army like a tide.

The Ming army on the upper floor of the inner city fought to the death, but was outnumbered.

Gradual defeat.

Just as the Qing army was about to capture the inner city.

A Ming soldier on the upper floor of the inner city suddenly saw a large number of Ming army flags appearing outside the city.

"Our reinforcements have arrived!"

The Ming soldier who saw the flag shouted loudly.

"Knock knock...."

Outside the city, the war drums of the Ming army continued to sound.

"Kill..."

The killing cries of 100,000 Ming troops outside the city shook the heavens and the earth.

"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, drive the Qing army off the city!"

The Ming soldiers on the tower of the city saw that the reinforcements were unanimous, their morale was greatly boosted, and they quickly attacked the Qing army with all their might.

"Ahh

The Qing army on the inner city tower, due to the hard battle for a long time, the morale was already a little low, seeing the arrival of the Ming army reinforcements, the morale instantly plummeted, and in the face of the Ming army on the city tower, it was defeated in an instant, and the losses were heavy.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Guo Shou, who was on the upper floor of the inner city, hurriedly ordered a retreat.

In less than half an hour, the Ming army drove all the Qing troops on the inner city tower, and then reoccupied the inner city tower and held the inner city.

The 100,000 Ming troops supporting outside Fengyang City also captured the outer city tower when the Qing army attacked the inner city with all its might.

The Qing army instantly became a turtle in an urn and was trapped in the outer city.

Fengyang Outer City.

Inside the temporary command residence of the Duoduo.

"Prince Qiyu is not in a good situation, the outer city tower was captured by the 100,000 Ming troops who came to reinforce, and our army was attacked by the Ming army inside and outside, and all of them were trapped in the outer city and couldn't get out."

Guo Shou said to Duoduo with an anxious face.

"What are you afraid of! After a while, the king personally led the army to take back the outer city tower. ”

Prince Yu Duoduo said disapprovingly.

Guo Shou said with a worried face: "Now the morale of the Ming army is booming, our army has been fighting in Fengyang for a long time, and the morale is already very low. ”

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that we lost? ”

Prince Yu Duoduo asked sharply.

"We didn't lose, but it's really not suitable now, continue to fight with the Ming army, and the last general suggested that you should negotiate peace with the Ming army! Let him let us out of Fengyang City, and leave the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood. ”

Guo Shou persuaded Prince Yu to do more than to say.

Duoduo hesitated.

"Report! Prince Qiyu is not in a good situation! Huai'an, Qi Li led 200,000 troops to reinforce Huai'an. ”

At this moment, a Qing soldier came to report.

"Impossible!"

Prince Yu Duoduo looked disbelieving.

"This is the flying pigeon biography of Huai'an City, and now several counties near Huai'an City have been breached, and Huai'an City is about to face the siege of the Ming army."

The Qing soldiers hurriedly handed over the flying pigeon of Huai'an City to the Prince of Yu Duoduodao.

Prince Yu Duoduo took the flying pigeon handbook, and after checking it, he made sure that it was correct.

"I didn't expect that the Ming court would be able to mobilize 300,000 troops to support the front line in such a short period of time."

Prince Yu Duoduo let out a long sigh.

"If it weren't for the fact that our army had been fighting hard for a long time, in fact, only the 100,000 Ming army reinforcements in Fengyang would really not be enough for us to eat, but now our soldiers have been fighting hard for a long time, their morale is low, and now they are besieged in the outer city, so it is really not easy to continue fighting."

Guo Shou took the opportunity to speak.

"Alright! This king will listen to you, negotiate peace with the Ming army, and you will personally go to negotiate peace with the Ming army. ”

Prince Yu Duoduo instructed Guo Shou.

"Wow!"

Guo Shou hurriedly obeyed.

An hour later, Guo Shou came to the upper floor of the outer city and met Deng An, the general of the 100,000 Ming army.

"You are Deng An, who killed Li Chengdong that day, fought in Yangzhou, and broke an arm?"

Guo Shou looked at the severed arm general in front of him and asked.

"That's right! Ben will be that Deng An! Now many people jokingly call Ben the general with a broken arm! ”

Deng An said with a smile.

"The battle in Yangzhou, it's a pity that you and I didn't hand it over."

Guo Shou seemed to say with some regret.

"It's not too late to fight!"

Deng An replied domineeringly.

"No! Everyone, let's talk about it, it's convenient for you, it's convenient for me! ”

Guo Shou said.

"How do you want to talk?"

Deng An asked.

"Both sides strike the troops, you ask your subordinates to stop attacking, and let me wait for me to leave Fengyang City safely, this is good for everyone!"

Guo Shou looked at Deng An and said.

"What if I don't say yes?"

Deng An asked.

"You know better than me in your heart, your 100,000 are just newly recruited soldiers, most of the soldiers are on the battlefield for the first time, and they are not well trained, if you really want to fight to the death, it is still unknown who will fall into Fengyang City!"

Guo Shou calmly analyzed the situation for Deng An.

"Since you also know, why don't you dare to fight our army?"

Deng An looked at Guo Shou and asked suspiciously.

"I'm not a gambler, I'm not 100% sure, I won't make a move!"

Guo Shou pouted and said.

Deng An listened to Guo Shou's words, in addition to carefully weighing the current military strength of both sides.

In order to achieve the goal of rescuing Fengyang, after thinking about it again, it was decided to agree to the Qing army's temporary peace talks.

"Alright! I'll let you go! ”

Deng An was silent for a while and then said.

"Thank you, General Deng!"

Guo Shou bowed with both hands and thanked him.
