It is no wonder that Mu Jilun was surprised, since his troops besieged Nanjing, the Ming army has always retreated in the deep pools of Gaocheng, and only fired a few cannons sporadically when it was under fierce attack.

Today, they actually took the initiative to fire a cannon early in the morning, and this is the sun coming out of the west?

He turned to his herald and said, "But the southerners are attacking? ”

"Back to the general, none of the units have encountered the enemy."

As he was talking, an officer from his front team hurriedly came with someone, pointed in the direction of Nanjing, and said, "General, look! ”

Mu Jilun followed his finger and could vaguely see that someone had erected a wooden frame five or six zhang high more than a mile east of Nanjing, and there seemed to be something swaying back and forth at the top.

"What's that?"

"General Hui, it seems that the southerners quietly built it last night, with two heads and a set of armor on it."

Mu Zilun frowned and took the binoculars from the guard's hand to take a closer look, and sure enough, as his officers said, it was just too far away to see the face of the human head, but the red helmet and cotton armor were very familiar.

"Whose armor is this......

While he was thinking about it, he heard hundreds of Ming troops appear at the head of Nanjing, and began to shout in unison.

"What are the barbarians talking about?"

Immediately, a guard rode away, and soon returned, with a frightened face: "General, the southerners call themselves ...... in vain."

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Mu Jilun glared irritably: "Don't be verbose, say it quickly!" ”

"Huh...... The southerners said that the general's main force was besieged at Ximing Mountain, and 70,000 or 80,000 people were killed or wounded or captured, and the rest were all scattered. The guard glanced back at the wooden shelf outside the city, "They also said that on the shelf were the heads of the two leaders of the Yellow Flag Beile Ye and Shang Kexi, and the red armor was the ...... Prince Yu."

"Nonsense!"

Mu Jilun immediately turned on his horse and galloped all the way to the front of the formation, and saw that hundreds of soldiers had gathered in front of the wooden frame, all of whom were pointing in a panic. And the shouts of the Ming army continued to be heard from the east side, and the content was the same as what the guards had reported before.

He angrily separated the onlookers, pointed to the wooden frame and shouted, "Take it down for me!" ”

"Huh!"

More than a dozen people stepped forward quickly, took off the things on the wooden shelf, and held them in front of Mu Jilun.

When the latter saw the crimson armor, his heart twitched.

He had followed Dodor for many years, and he was all too familiar with the armor. He forced a bad premonition, and carefully turned the front of the head to himself, and immediately could no longer control it, and kicked back two steps, his face full of panic.

That head is Nurhachi's own nephew, Belle, who is in charge of the Yellow Banner army this time, Gong Adai!

Cold sweat oozed from Mu Jilun's forehead, Prince Yu's armor was here, Gong Adai was killed, even if the main force of the army was not completely defeated, I am afraid the situation will not be too good......

Half an hour later, Zhu Mala, Shi Tingzhu, Geng Zhongming and other captives gathered in Mu Jilun's tent.

They had just looked at the armor and the human head, and now they looked at each other head-on. In the middle of the night, Jumala slapped the table, got up and said, "I can't wait!" We gathered people and horses and galloped together in the direction of Ximing Mountain. In case of...... The battle was really unfavorable, so he quickly turned north and returned to Yangzhou from the Dantu Ferry. ”

Mu Jilun and the others knew that if Duoduo was really defeated and it would be difficult for him to capture Nanjing for a while, then spending here would be no different from waiting for death, so they had to agree to this deployment.

At the end, Jumala pointed to Geng Zhongming again, "King Huaishun will lead his troops to break off here." ”

"No, this ......" Geng Zhongming's face turned green, you all left but left me to die?

But Jumala and the others didn't give him a chance to refuse at all, so they turned around and went out of their accounts to command their subordinates. What King Huaishun? In their hearts, it's just a dog full of people, and calling you a "king" is to lift you up, and now is the time to use a dog, who else can you keep without leaving your palace back?

Mu Jilun, Zhu Mala, and Shi Tingzhu's subordinates also didn't care about tidying up, so they left a large number of baggage and weapons and rushed to the southeast.

However, as soon as their army walked out more than a mile, Lu Yousan led 4,000 captives from the northeast side of Nanjing, but they had already left the city at dawn and waited here.

The news of "Prince Yu's defeat" and "Gong Adai's killing" had already spread among Geng Zhongming's army, and at this time, he learned that the Jianzhou troops had withdrawn, and there was still a little bit of morale.

And the soldiers of the Broken Battalion had been strictly ordered by Zhen Zhen before, so they could only hide in the city and resist passively, and they had already held back the fire in their stomachs, and it was simply irrepressible to erupt at this time.

The combat strength of the two armies was originally a few grades behind, and at this time, the morale was like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit was lost, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, nearly 10,000 Qing troops collapsed.

Lu Yousan didn't pay attention to Geng Zhongming, but chased after Mu Jilun and the others. The latter also had no intention of fighting, and only resisted a little, and then ran away, leaving a large number of corpses of soldiers along the way, which was simply miserable.

It wasn't until they had barely run ten miles that they were confronted by the horsemen sent by Baiyintu to warn them, and it was certain that Duoduo had really been defeated.

The two then turned around and headed north, intending to join forces with Baiyintu as soon as possible. However, after the captives marched for more than ten miles, they were shocked to hear the sound of artillery in all directions, and a group of light horsemen in black uniforms came out from both sides, which was the swift battalion of Li Dingguo's headquarters.

Seeing that the thieves were intercepted, Lu Yousan was overjoyed at the moment, and commanded the infantry line to cooperate with Li Dingguo to gradually drive Mu Jilun and others to a river north of Jurong.

At the time of the unitary, Mu Jilun, Jumala and others, who had repeatedly broken through several times without success, led 10,000 captives to surrender. Li Dingguo hurriedly made a farewell to Lu Yousan, and hurried to Gaozi non-stop to snipe at Kong Youde's department there.

At the same time, the police in the city of Nanjing fought the most imposing battle of their lives.

The three thousand policemen each held three pennies of firearms, sabers and other "shabby" weapons, chasing Geng Zhongming's seven or eight thousand Qing troops all over the world, and a few people could easily capture ten times as many captives with a finger of firearms.

In one day, there was no trace of the Qing army outside Nanjing, and Ying Tianfu Yin began to organize Minzhuang to clean up the battlefield and clean up the corpses.

Only 10,000 horses with yellow flags in the Baiyintu Department survived because of the escort of grain and grass. After he learned that Mu Zilun and others had surrendered, he hurriedly fled north.

……

"Bumu Butai, sure enough, the magpie you have here is also calling." Dolgon laughed and walked into the Qianqing Palace, nodded at Shunzhi on the side, and continued, "There is great news, haha! ”

Shunzhi stepped forward and saluted, and said in a childish voice: "Meet the emperor's uncle and regent." I wonder if there's any good news? ”

In fact, Xiaozhuang had already heard the news, but he also echoed with a smile, "Yes, tell me what is the happy event?" ”

Dolgon waved his hand at the eunuch behind him, "Read! ”

"Huh." The eunuch hurriedly picked up the newspaper and stepped forward, "In the fourth year, on the thirteenth day of the first month, General Yangwei fought in Wuqi Mountain and Jurong and other places, and won more than 14,000 heads of the southern army. Now the army has surrounded Jiangning, and it can be broken by the end of the month at most! ”
