The Great Altar.

The sound of the three armies cheering floated from the east bank of the Qinhuai River. And the light of the torches also began to flicker and swim.

Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, dressed in a loose Confucian shirt, stood at the window of a small two-story building facing east, holding a clairvoyant mirror and looking motionlessly at the east bank of the Qinhuai River.

The 10,000 or 20,000 Nanjing Beijing battalion soldiers stationed at the altar are now under the command of Zhu Guobi. Among the nobles of Nanjing City, he is relatively combative, and he and Lu Zhenfei had earlier rectified the grain transportation army in Huai'an Mansion. He also recruited hundreds of families for himself, and also hacked the 200,000 taels of silver that were ready to be sent to Dengzhou.

It is precisely because of these 200,000 taels of silver that he has fallen step by step to where he is now - otherwise, he may be a hero with Lu Zhenfei.

However, after he learned how Zhu Cihong "forced donations" in Beijing and how Denglai rectified the guards, he felt that he would not end well if such a corrupt official fell into the hands of the prince.

So he went to Nanjing and mixed up with Xu Hongji and Huang Shu to be Qinwang. Before this afternoon, Qinwang's career looked good. He was also quite reused, leading troops to garrison the big altar. If the military admonition is successful and the prince hands over power, he will undoubtedly be a great hero of Emperor Chongzhen. The problem of corruption did not exist before, and maybe there could be more greed.

But as soon as Zhu Cihong's army entered the Qilin Gate, the situation became unexpected!

This prince does not go to the filial piety tomb to worship his ancestors, nor does he go to the imperial city of Chaoyangmen. Instead, they set up camp east of the Qinhuai River, and also sent a brigade of iron horsemen to occupy the bridge, inspect the riverbank, and expel idle people...... Is this a battle formation?

When Zhu Guobi got the report from his subordinates, he immediately panicked, and he didn't have the heart to drink and listen to music, so he took a clairvoyant mirror and found a high place to watch. As a result, the cheers of the new army were heard......

"Master, what are they shouting?"

A woman came up from downstairs, she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a white Suzhou embroidered satin dress, her posture was graceful, and she was extremely moving. The chest is bulging, extremely impressive, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, a pair of big eyes watery, rippling autumn waves, looking charming and charming. As soon as the beauty appeared, it immediately attracted Zhu Guobi's attention.

He put down the clairvoyant mirror, turned his head to look at his beloved beauty, and sighed: "Baimen, you can go...... I put three hundred taels of gold in Dou'er, enough to last for a while. You and her go back to Vault Street first. ”

Speaking of sadness, Zhu Guobi's tears fell.

This woman is his beloved concubine, named Kou Baimen, one of Qin Huai's eight yans, and one of the eight yans.

Seeing Zhu Guobi crying sadly, Kou Baimen was a little puzzled, "Why is the master like this?" The old man also told the slave during the day that after King Qin succeeded this time, he would be able to enjoy a long and prosperous ...... in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zhu Guobi just shook his head: "Mo Duoyan, if I can escape this death, I will go to the banknote street to find you." If you can't...... You can find a good family to marry, just remember, don't enter the Hou Gate again. ”

Kou Baimen looked at Zhu Guobi's panicked appearance, just sighed lightly, and made a blessing gift: "The slave family must be waiting for the master on the banknote street." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Zhu Guobi watched her go downstairs, and then turned his gaze to the direction of the Qinhuai River in the east again, just staring blankly, doing nothing, and not knowing what to do?

Now that the bridges on the Qinhuai River were all under the control of the prince's new army, there was nothing to stop them from rushing to the almost undefended altar.

It is said that the large altar is not defended, because it has long been in disrepair, most of the earthen walls on all sides have collapsed, and the buildings in it are not intact, so it is difficult to fortify.

And Zhu Guobi didn't dare to fortify outside the big altar. It's night...... Let those rabble out, and maybe they'll be gone!

Now he can only stand on the side of the big altar for a while, if he can carry Huang Degong and send troops, Xu will be able to escape.

......

"Get on the bayonet! Upper bayonet...... If the enemy is not five steps in front of him, he is not allowed to fire a damn deal! ”

The loud voice of Hao Shaoqi, the first co-commander of the infantry of the New Army, rang in the ears of more than 1,000 musketeers. In fact, he didn't need to remind them, these veterans from the rogue family knew what to do.

They've defeated the Tartars! Later, when Zhu Cihong reorganized the new army again, he also specially awarded them the number of the First Association to show their bravery!

How can such "heavenly soldiers" shoot indiscriminately on the battlefield? And through several months of rigorous training and not long ago in Zhenjiang again in real combat. These "heavenly soldiers" know the benefits of firing at close range.

In their eyes, it is not a musket in their hands at all, but a spear that fires deadly projectiles - a shot before engaging the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, this is the correct way to use the firecracker!

Moreover, they also discovered a new situation in the battle of Zhenjiang, where their enemies were extremely afraid of a musket that had been loaded with bayonets and ammunition, but had not yet fired! When the average family saw the firearms of the new army rushing up, they all had to flee in despair, and they didn't even have the courage to fight......

To use a broadsword to fight a bayonet-mounted rifle is storytelling! Do you really think people won't fire? A shot from a few steps away, isn't this still a standing death?

Therefore, Hao Shaoqi is going to press his subordinates now, prevent them from firing, and just charge with a fire gun and kill the enemy.

......

Woohoo Woo ......

The sound of the fire bolt was heard outside the eastern, southern, and northern walls of the Great Shrine!

It was not the attacking new army that was firing, but the guns of the defending Nanjing Beijing battalion were firing. Indiscriminate shooting, of course!

The black light is blind, and no one knows where the enemy is? I only heard the new army of overcoming difficulties, "Ten thousand victories!" Wan Sheng" shouted louder and louder. As a result, the Nanjing Jingying firefighters guarding the collapsed earthen wall couldn't help but open fire.

With the roar of firearms, casualties are inevitable!

And instead of hitting the enemy, there were a number of explosions! Heart-rending screams resounded on the eastern, southern, and northern fronts of the Great Shrine.

Almost none of the officers in the Nanjing Beijing Battalion who commanded the operations had ever been to the front line, and they did not train much troops in peacetime - they were all N generations selected from some guards and served as errands in the Nanjing Beijing Battalion. took Xu Hongji's silver, and then followed King Qin, I thought I was responsible for coaxing, who knew that it would really fight!

Oh, in fact, there hasn't been a real fight yet, and none of the guns of the new army have fired!

Now the casualties suffered by the Nanjing Jingying are all caused by the explosion!

In the past few years, all the firecrackers supplied to the border army have been blown up, and the firecrackers for the Nanjing Jingying can still be good? Moreover, the technology of these Nanjing Jingying firearms is not good, and there is no ammunition ordered, and many people do not have a number when they charge them, either more or less. If you load less, you won't be able to fight far, and if you load more, of course, you will blow up.

Therefore, the new army did not fire a single shot, and Zhu Guobi's men were already injured a lot......

And the sound of the bang on the side of the big altar spread far away in the quiet night, and when it reached the Linggu Temple, it could still be faintly heard.

"Huang Zongrong, it seems that there is a fight!"

At this time, Ma Shiying was already dressed in military uniform and appeared in front of Huang Degong. Huang Degong looked at the costume of the governor of Fengyang, and admired it in his heart.

Is this going to be the king of Qinwang in person? What a loyal servant!

Huang Degong frowned and said: "It should be a fight, the army, are we going to send troops?" ”

Ma Shiying shook his head, "Not for the time being...... Wei Guogong is the commander-in-chief, and without his orders, we can't move, but we have to be prepared. ”

"How to prepare?" Huang Degong asked.

"First of all, the formation is arranged, the Guizhou soldiers of this governor are good at marching in the mountains, they can take the lead and let them set up a formation outside the mountain gate."

"It's fine." Huang De nodded slightly. Ma Shiying is his boss, and he has Chongzhen's "handkerchief edict", of course he has to be obedient.

Ma Shiying then took out a blank notebook and handed it to Huang Degong, "We still have to jointly write a recital for Your Majesty to explain why we raised troops...... I'll write it myself, so sign it first. ”

"Good! It's all on the orders of the army. ”
