Chapter 349: This is going to die

Yang Qi waited until the others came out of the big tent, then looked at Yang He and said, "Uncle, flow... There are people in Wang Jiayin's department who understand. ”

"Gao Yingxiang..."

Yang He blurted out, and the deep eyes and the old wrinkles at the corners of the eyes immediately set off the ferocity of the literati.

Yang He didn't expect that his uncle had already investigated these things clearly, so he said: "The thirty-six battalion masters under his command are not fuel-efficient lamps, but Gao Yingxiang is not simple. ”

"How did they perform before the big win?"

Yang Qi thought carefully: "Although Luo Rucai's department rushed and killed fiercely, he was insidious and cunning; There were other battalions, which used their tactics to rush to the city. ”

"Hey..."

Yang He sighed, and then said slowly: "The Qingliu in the court all think that the Liukou is a Liukou after all, even after Zhao'an, he is also a mud leg who has done rebellion, otherwise the people of the world will take it as an example, and the country will be in chaos in the future..."

If you can't survive, you will rebel, once you rebel, you will recruit An, and after Zhao'an, you will become an official of the Ming Dynasty and become a master, and everyone will be like this in the future, isn't it a mess?

Zhang He shook his fan young: "Dong Weng, over there in the court?" ”

Yang Qi hurriedly asked, "Uncle, could it be that the imperial court intends to..."

Yang He interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense," he said and looked outside the big tent: "The will of the imperial court, we can't disobey..."

.

"This is to send them to death..."

Speaking in a thick Shaanxi dialect, Gao Yingxiang punched the desk in his big tent.

As Gao Yingxiang's confidant, Liu Zhe opened the big tent and looked outside, and only after confirming that there was nothing to do did he said cautiously: "King Chuang, the brothers can be used as a response." ”

In private, Gao Yingxiang's henchmen still call themselves when they rebelled.

"Li Huang'er's cub is smart, if he hadn't reminded you, you would have almost believed it."

"King Chuang, Wang Dashuai is a little impatient."

The big tent was opened, and Li Hongji strode into Gao Yingxiang's big tent with a group of cronies.

Also as Gao Yingxiang's confidant, Li Hongji is second only to Liu Zhe's attitude in Gao Yingxiang's heart.

"It's all said, don't call King Echuan, we are officials now, and we are called General."

Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong can become marshals and deputy marshals, while Gao Yingxiang and other commanders of the 36th Battalion are appointed as staff generals, and Li Hongji is the official position of guerrilla and garrison.

Since the beginning of the guerrilla war, the Ming military rank can be called a 'general'.

"Yes, General, this is Niu Venus..."

Gao Yingxiang looked at the person standing beside Li Hongji, and then said, "I know him, let's say..."

Niu Jinxing glanced at Li Hongji, and then hugged his fist towards Gao Yingxiang: "General, Nanjing's city defense is strong, Li Wanchang and Zhang Gaoping also attacked Nanjing City with the help of Liang Fan, and the strength of both sides is around 400,000 people, although our army is strong, but before the army of Chengguo Gong arrives, it is a big bad thing to attack Nanjing." ”

"Oh... Why do you feel that Nanjing can't hold on? ”

Gao Yingxiang looked at Niu Jinxing with interest: "You can solve your doubts." ”

Niu Jinxing was born as a fortune teller in the rivers and lakes, and he relied on pretending to be a god to fool around and eat, that is, he heard these from other people, but Li Hongji believed it.

Seeing that Gao Yingxiang was about to ask him, he suddenly held back and couldn't speak, and at this time, Wang's own herald arrived at Gao Yingxiang's camp: "General Gao, the deputy marshal has an order, so that your department will converge with General Wang and General Luo's department as the forward, and set off immediately." ”

Niu Jinxing was very lucky, Gao Yingxiang also lost the idea of asking Niu Jinxing, and then looked at Li Hongji: "Go and prepare..."

Luo Rucai became a pioneer because of that arrogance, and Gao Yingxiang was unwilling, as for Wang Zuohang, he was a mediocre person.

"Anyone with a little brain knows that you have to fill it with your life when you hit Nanjing, and you won't be fooled."

Luo Rucai is not stupid, he pressed the preparation of his subordinates to charge.

Not far ahead is Nanjing Ande Gate, at most three miles, and as a pioneer general, Wang Zuohang is a little high-spirited.

Gao Yingxiang was at the back, according to his qualifications, Wang Zuojiao was the one who raised troops with Wang Er in the year of the Apocalypse, but he died early because Wang Er was unlucky.

Andemen was repaired after being beaten to pieces by Shenwu cannons before, Li Wanchang personally guarded Andemen, and dozens of retired Shenwu cannons of the Liang Domain were placed in front of the female wall, Li Wanchang was confident that as long as the opponent attacked the city, they would let them know what was powerful.

Wang Zuohang coughed twice, and then waved his hand: "Brothers, Nanjing City is full of gold, kill it..."

"Kill..."

"Fire..."

Both sides have artillery, the difference is only in the distance and the size of the firepower, but Mao Shi lost a lot of Shenwu artillery in Dasheng Pass, and the gunners under Wang Zuohang are also counted as the road, and a few cannons are fired out, and they are in the middle of the tower of Ande Gate.

"Good boy, there will be a lot of rewards after going down."

'Knock knock... Knock knock knock... Knock knock knock...'

The earth-shattering cannon sound and shouting of killing were staged outside the Ande Gate, Li Wanchang was frightened by those few shells, it was not that he was afraid of death, and now he was the only heavyweight and credible defender in Nanjing.

"It's a fierce fight..."

On the tower of Fengtai Gate in the distance, Song Che put away the clairvoyant mirror, because the maximum clairvoyant mirror of two and a half miles really couldn't see the battle situation of Andemen five miles away, and could only hear the sound of cannons from far and near.

"Go, send someone to deliver a letter to the prince."

Zhu Yousong is very concerned about the war in Andemen, not only the safety of Nanjing, but also his safety, the northern army has reached the city, if Nanjing is not protected, he will not even have a way to retreat, the only thing he can run is to go to Chen Cao.

But...

"Let Shi Kefa come to see me."

When Shi Kefa arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he saw Zhu Yousong, who was a little haggard.

"Minister, Shi Kefa, knock to see Your Majesty."

"Aiqing, come closer, I ask you, you have to answer honestly, can Nanjing be defended?"

As soon as he came up, such a straightforward inquiry made Shi Kefa a little uncomfortable, but as a courtier, being promoted unusually made him want to let the people of the Northern Dynasty see from the bottom of his heart that there are also capable people in the Southern Dynasty.

"Your Majesty rest assured, Changguo is just commanding in Andemen, Nanjing's city defense is tall, and it is difficult for the northern army to break through."

Looking at Shi Kefa's determined eyes, Zhu Yousong let out a sigh and slumped on the throne: "In this case, Aiqing can dispatch from it, and I will give you power." ”

.

"Retreat... The enemy retreated..."

Huge cheers came and went, Li Wanchang inserted the long knife into the scabbard, and couldn't help but breathe: "Go, tell Master Shi, just say that the enemy army retreats, and our army will win a big victory." ”

did retreat, the main reason is also because Wang Zuohang, who was the vanguard of the Qin army, was hit by artillery and was killed on the spot, otherwise this battle would still be fought.

Li Wanchang was not stupid, he opened the Ande Gate and led tens of thousands of people to pursue for nearly ten miles before retreating, and also collected a lot of artillery and muskets lost at Dasheng Pass on the way.

The vanguard deputy generals Luo Rucai and Gao Yingxiang retreated one after another, neither of them suffered much loss, only Wang Zuojiao's command suffered more than 4,000 casualties during the siege.

"You have to go out in person."

Wang Jiayin, who got the news, ignored Wang's own dissuasion, and ordered all the troops in his headquarters to set off and approach Andemen.

Wang Zuohang's death was a bit of a big blow to Wang Jiayin, as the backbone of the army at the beginning of the year, if it were not for the strong support of Wang Zuohang and others, Wang Jiayin may have been replaced by Wang Ziyong, yes, Wang Jiayin vowed to avenge Wang Zuohang who died in battle when he was on the road.

"The Qin army came quickly."

Shi Kefa went up to the city tower, and Li Wanchang spoke on the side.

Shi Kefa put down the clairvoyant mirror, and then said, "Yang He still can't escape from that circle." ”

Li Wanchang was a little confused.

"The people who started were all displaced people who rebelled in Shaanxi, and these people were in a bad situation after being Zhao'an, and there were too many clear streams in the Northern Dynasties."

As a person from a civilian background, he was also awarded the official position in Nanjing because he was suppressed, otherwise Shi Kefa could also become an official of the Beijing Division.

It was because of this condition that he could see the door at a glance: "Changguo Gong, just defend the city with all his might, Wang Jiayin can't afford to turn over the wind and waves, but the lower officials have a plan here..."

Wang Jiayin looked at the rustling banner of Nanjing in the distance, and was furious, and then shouted: "Avenge Wang Zuohang, brothers, break Nanjing, and don't seal the knife for three days." ”

Even if he really broke through Nanjing, Wang Jiayin was not qualified to give an order not to seal the knife for three days, but for the group of mud-legged peasants under his command, this was the temptation.

Wang Dashuai said that if he doesn't seal the knife, that is really not the knife.

"Kill..."

"Where is the cannon, push it out, push it out quickly..."

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

Shortly after the morning battle, the afternoon battle began again, and the two sides began with a large-scale artillery battle, with mutual casualties.

The city gate of Xiao'ande Gate was wide open in the artillery battle between the two sides, and the defeated general Mao was not punished when he won the pass, and he was still acting as Li Wanchang's henchman.

The city gate opened, and the 3,000 cavalry led by Mao Shi rode forward, followed by 20,000 foot soldiers, holding various weapons to kill Wang Jiayin's flank.

Seeing this, the general of the left wing battalion Lao Hui Ma Shou should have seen this, and without waiting for the order of the Chinese army, he immediately rushed over with his 5,000 Hui cavalry.

Under the collision of the two boxes, they were immediately killed together, and it was difficult to separate for a while.

Wang Jiayin commanded in the center, and after learning that the southern army on the left flank had gone out of the city to respond to the battle, he was instantly overjoyed, and immediately ordered the fierce general second only to Luo Rucai, Li Yangchun, nicknamed the 'Four Heavenly Kings', to take his command to support Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying.

Seeing this, Gao Yingxiang was about to ask for his life, when the 'Eight Kings' Zhang Xianzhong rushed to reinforcements with his men and horses after asking the king for his own use.

"Zhang Shuzi is very slippery."

Liu Zhe sneered beside Gao Yingxiang: "If he wants to go, he will go, and the one who died is not your brother." ”
