Chapter 727: Seeking Death (Second Watch)

The soldiers on the warship in the river, regardless of whether they were the enemy or the enemy, hurried to dodge quickly, and some of the people who could not avoid were overturned by the big waves, and some were smashed under the water by a huge wave.

There was a man who was thrown into the sky by the waves.

It was Jiang Hai's life-seeking ghost Jia Canghai, who used all his strength to set up a shocking wave, intending to shoot Chongzhen to death.

But Chongzhen performed a great move underwater, moving all the huge waves that slapped him, among which there were two huge waves, and the reverse side hit Jia Canghai, and Jia Canghai's bones and meridians were all shattered.

The uncontrollable King Kong Pillar and the Golden Steel Ring, which had lost their balance, also fell, and Jia Canghai also flew into the sky from the bottom of the water with the huge waves, and there was his treasure next to him.

Falling again, Jia Canghai fell to the surface of the water with his back on all fours, and then sank to the bottom with his weapon.

This thrilling scene lasted about twenty or thirty breaths before the surface of the water gradually returned to normal.

"Your Majesty?" Wang Chengen, Tang Wancai and other Jinyi Wei masters, as well as martial arts masters of the six major sects, did not see Chongzhen's shadow at this time, and shouted in unison.

Before their shouts fell, a huge wave in the center of the river rose to the sky again, and the huge wave rose to the highest place and fell, revealing a person, it was Chongzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the waves he brought were scattered on the river, Chongzhen stepped on the water and flew to the shore.

This shocked everyone, and it was even more eye-catching than the birth of Monkey King.

"The emperor's miraculous skills are world-shattering!"

"Your Majesty's mana is full of power!"

"Long live Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty......

Wang Chengen and Jinyiwei took the lead in chanting, the martial arts masters of the six major factions also shouted, and Li Yan and other thousands of soldiers also shouted in unison.

The shouts shook the heavens and the earth, like thunder rolling and surging endlessly......

When Chongzhen went ashore, whether it was on the warship or on the shore, the thousands of soldiers of the Ming army, Jinyi guards and martial arts masters, countless generals and martial arts masters knelt all over the world, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

"Hahaha...... You're all my good sons, so let's get even." Chongzhen talked and laughed, and the air buzzed.

The most eye-catching thing is that Zuo Mengeng's thousands of troops and horses, just now they were still fighting with the Ming army to the death, and they all knelt down to Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty in an instant.

Ma Shixiu and Zuo Menggeng's more than 200,000 horses, except for those who died in battle and some who fled, most of them surrendered to the imperial court.

Chongzhen ordered Li Yan to detach 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the prisoners, and the rest to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and bury the corpses.

The soldiers who had not yet crossed the river, and some were still struggling in the river, so they hurried down to the river to rescue people and help the soldiers who had not crossed the river to cross the river, and they were busy until dark.

300,000 Ming troops crossed the Hukou River in just one day.

This battle was thrilling both on the shore and in the river, Zuo Mengeng and Ma Shixiu suffered a complete defeat, and the army of more than 200,000 troops was almost wiped out, and finally fled back to Jiujiang Mansion with only a few thousand cavalry and several martial arts masters......

Because it was late, Chongzhen sent a decree to set up camp by the river and rest the soldiers and horses......

The next day, the results came out. The Ming army won a complete victory, annihilating 200,000 thieves, capturing only 150,000 or 60,000 prisoners, and the swords, guns, equipment, tents, horses, warships and other booty were not counted, and dozens of intact artillery pieces and shells were also captured.

The Ming army, including the sailors, suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and more than 200 martial arts people of the six major factions and disciples of various sects suffered casualties.

But these more than 100 people are all elites, except for the head of the sect, the sect leader, and the head of the sect, all of them are congenital middle and late stage masters.

Chongzhen sent a decree to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and asked Wang Chengen to register all the casualties, including the martial arts people, and the fallen soldiers will be crowned wives and sons in the future.

For those who are indifferent to fame and fortune and only serve the imperial court, Chongzhen decreed that the imperial court will build a temple for them in the future, allowing them to expand their disciples and promote their own martial arts.

"Emperor Shengming, thank you Lord Longen......" The generals and ministers and martial arts masters all thanked each other.

Chongzhen rested for five days, and all 150,000 or 60,000 prisoners were reorganized into the new army of the imperial court, and food and wages were paid in time, which stabilized the morale of the army and fought

Disorder was incorporated into the battle sequence of the battalions.

The soldiers and horses in front of Chongzhen are more than 430,000 in addition to the combat attrition, plus the newly recruited men and horses, and they are known as 500,000 to the outside world.

The next step is to recover Jiujiang.

There are only more than 50 miles, there is a lonely city in Jiujiang, and there are only 100,000 horses in the city, and it is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed and the thieves are destroyed.

But at this time, the sky is not beautiful, suddenly the sky changes, the north wind is howling, the temperature plummets, after a day of great north wind, the sky is as black and black as lead, the cold air is sprinkled, and then the goose feather snow flies up, ushering in the first heavy snow in early winter.

It snowed heavily for two days and two nights, and the rivers froze, turning the whole world into a world of ice and snow.

Chongzhen had no choice but to postpone the march plan, and the local officials nearby braved the wind and snow to send grain and meat, firewood and cotton clothes, etc., and the resources for heating and keeping out the cold were endless, piled up like a mountain......

Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen and Li Yan to distribute them to each battalion, change into cotton clothes and cotton armor, and light a fire to keep warm.

More than half a month later, the impact of this heavy snow passed, but the time had come to mid-November 1644, and hundreds of thousands of horses and horses spent the winter by the river was definitely an ordeal, so Chongzhen decided to take Jiujiang Mansion.

After the weather cleared, Chongzhen sent the army to Jiujiang, four or five hundred thousand troops drove to Jiujiang Mansion, the march of the large army was slow, and then pulled on the grain and grass and artillery, the frozen dirt road was not easy to walk, the twists and turns were bumpy, and it was as slow as a snail.

The next day, Chongzhen's men and horses appeared on the outskirts of the city fifteen miles away from Jiujiang Mansion and set up camp.

At this time, a Jinyi guard came to report and found that there were people from the Demon Sect in and out of Jiujiang Mansion......

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
