300,000 Qing troops surrounded Yangzhou, and those who asked for help, even if they were lucky enough to get out of the encirclement, there were countless Qing soldiers and ships on the canal and the Yangtze River.

Although the river water in June is not as cold as the cold winter wax moon, but the long-term invasion of bubbles, it is not something that ordinary people can bear, and the hundred strong men standing in the camp have to swim across the Yangtze River moat, and also have to avoid the killing of the Qing army, which is undoubtedly nine deaths and one life, and it is extremely dangerous.

However, death is good for the world, and death is also good!

In order to save the people of Yangzhou and the relatives trapped in the city, the seven-foot body, even if he is buried in the belly of the fish, what is the regret?

When everyone heard Wang Yan's words and saw him sincerely bow, they were all infected by the atmosphere, and they knew that the responsibility of going there was the hope of more than 700,000 Yangzhou people.

"Heroes, please drink this cup, I will go out of the east gate with you, send you into the canal, please send reinforcements, save Yangzhou!" Wang Yan looked at the hundreds of strong men standing solemnly, picked up a bowl of Zhuangxing wine sent by his own soldiers, and shouted: "Dry! ”

"Please send reinforcements to save Yangzhou!" Bowls of wine were sent to the heroes, they picked up the bowls, agreed in unison, and then drank them all, their hearts were full of pride, and they were angry.

"Smack!" With a sound, Wang Yan and all the strong men smashed the wine bowl, and then roared: "The people of Yangzhou, remember your names and never forget them!" ”

"We will definitely live up to the trust of the general and the hopes of the people of Yangzhou, but if one person survives, we will definitely move to the rescue!" Hundreds of strong men replied in unison.

Wang Yan looked at them, saw that everyone was resolute, and brought the horses with the guards, he turned over, looked around at the army, waved his horsewhip, and ordered loudly: "Go!" The armor soldier went out of the city with the general, broke through the captive camp, and opened the way for the strong man! ”

Three thousand armor soldiers escorted a hundred strong men, and they ran out of the camp, with armor on their bodies, a war knife at their waists, and a quiver on their backs.

Outside the east gate of Yangzhou, Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu nearly 20,000 green battalions camped with their backs to the canal.

On the other side of the Grand Canal, there were also the Qing court military department Shangshu Han Dai, Mel Zhangjing Yierde, the real Manchurian and foreign Mongolian soldiers under the command of Shilang Nikan.

If Wang Yan wanted to lead the Yangzhou defenders to break through, even if he broke through the green camp of Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu, he would not be able to cross the canal, not to mention that there were real Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry on the other side.

The encirclement of the Qing army with three layers inside and three layers outside cut off the possibility of the Yangzhou defenders breaking through, but it was precisely because they were confident that the Yangzhou defenders could not go out of the city to fight, so they were slack in defense.

Since the Qing army arrived in Yangzhou, the defenders of Yangzhou have never gone out of the city to fight, so after more than a month, especially the green battalion soldiers who did not have much desire to fight, on patrol and night duty, the soldiers and horses sent are getting fewer and fewer, and they are more and more relaxed, giving Wang Yan an opportunity.

In this case, although it is impossible for the Yangzhou defenders to break through, it is more than enough to open a gap in the Qing army camp stationed by the canal and send the elite and brave men out of the city for help.

It was the fourth watch of the night, Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu were sleeping soundly, Wang Yan led three thousand armor soldiers, taking advantage of the night, to touch the outside of the Qing military camp, and suddenly attacked.

Zhang Tianlu and others, who were sleeping soundly, suddenly heard that there was a commotion in the camp, and they didn't have time to put on their clothes and shoes, so they hurriedly got up and lifted the tent curtain to watch.

In the night, the green battalion soldiers did not know how many soldiers and horses came out of the city, they were terrified, and fled to other city gates, Zhang Tianlu did not have time to put on the armor, so he was hugged by his own soldiers out of the big tent, and he just bumped into Wang Yan, who was killed, and his soul was scattered.

Shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, and capture a thief first and capture the king first!

Wang Yan led 3,000 armor soldiers out of the city to attack the Qing army camp outside the east gate, but the Qing troops from the other gates were not threatened, and they would rush to support in less than half an hour, so there was not enough time left for Wang Yan.

If he couldn't take advantage of the Qing army's lack of reaction, quickly break through Zhang Tianlu's camp and send a hundred strong men into the canal, he and his 3,000 armor soldiers might have to fall outside the city and be surrounded by Qing soldiers.

After the sneak attack was successful, Wang Yan led a team of soldiers and horses directly to Zhang Tianlu's camp tent, as long as the commander of the green camp was killed, the green battalion soldiers outside the east gate would quickly collapse, unable to organize effective resistance, and Wang Yan would be able to calmly retreat into the city.

On the contrary, if Zhang Tianlu was allowed to gather the defeated army, entangle with him, and wait for Duoduo to react and organize troops and horses to help, then Wang Yan's situation would be very dangerous.

Zhang Tianlu was escorted out of the camp by more than a dozen personal soldiers, he only wore a single coat, and only wore one shoe on his feet, he was already embarrassed, and when he saw Wang Yan leading hundreds of fierce Ming troops to kill, where did he dare to confront him head-on, and immediately ran away.

Wang Yan was overjoyed when he saw it, pointed at Zhang Tianlu's back with a knife, and scolded loudly: "Those who have forgotten their ancestors, where to escape!" ”

Between the scolding, the Ming army rushed up, and a strong man was extremely fast, and a few brisk steps caught up with the Qing soldiers, wielding a knife and cutting down a few people.

This person is Hu Weizong, who is strong in martial arts, he has a knife in his hand, and the Qing soldiers have no general, Zhang Tianlu only felt that there were fewer and fewer Qing soldiers around him, and he was frightened, he looked back, only to see a figure jumping up, and a white light hit his neck, and he was suddenly frightened.

The white light flashed, blood splashed, Zhang Tianlu felt that the sky was spinning, and then the whole world was dark, and he was already in a different place.

Hu Weizong grabbed Zhang Tianlu's head, and immediately raised his head to the sky and shouted, and the Qing soldiers immediately broke up even more when they saw this.

Wang Yan was very happy to see this, he encouraged Hu Weizong a few words, and then killed him all the way to the canal, but at this time, the Qing army ships on the river had already reacted, and they fired arrows at the Ming army on the shore, killing several people in an instant.

Zhang Tianfu was luckier than Zhang Tianlu, he did not meet the Ming army, under the escort of his own soldiers, he hid on the warship, he heard that his brother Zhang Tianlu was killed by the Ming army, he was furious, and hurriedly contacted Yang Shouzhuang and Zhang Sida, and mobilized the ships to shoot the Ming army along the coast.

The real Manchurian soldiers on the other side saw that the green camp on the opposite bank was broken and fires broke out, and they also began to assemble on the bank, preparing to cross the river to attack Wang Yan, who had stolen the camp.

The situation was urgent, Wang Yan hurriedly asked the commanders and archers to suppress the Qing army's ships, and a hundred strong men took advantage of the chaos and jumped into the canal.

"Bell bell bell ~" A rapid sound of gold sounded, but it was He Gang, who was in the city to press for Wang Yan, learned that Duoduo had sent cavalry to the east gate, to cut off Wang Yan's back road, and immediately passed on the message to let him return to the city as soon as possible.

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect the Qing army's reaction to be so fast.

At this time, he saw that the hundred warriors who asked for help had already jumped into the water, and some even grabbed a small boat, and his goal had been achieved, so he stopped shooting at the Qing army ships on the canal, led the men and horses, and hurriedly retreated to the city gate.

On the canal, three strong men of the Ming army, carrying a small boat, desperately rocked forward, but soon were knocked over by a Qing army boat, and the three fell into the water, and before they had time to swim across, they were shot by the rain of arrows on the boat, dyeing the water surface crimson.

In another place, a Ming soldier sneaked in the water, and just came out to change his breath, several spears killed at the same time, and he died instantly.

On the river, the Qing army ships shuttled back and forth, and there were Qing soldiers along the shore with torches to search, just like a net of heaven and earth, robbing and killing the strong men of the Ming army who jumped into the water, from time to time someone was found, or was shot to death by a bow and arrow, or was stabbed to death by the spear of the Qing army with a small boat, the scene was tragic, and nine deaths were lived.

The blood of the Ming army stained the surface of the river red, but the water rushed through, and the flowers bloomed red, and withered like the red in late autumn, only the floating corpses on the river surface full of arrows and rain told their tragedy, told their determination and sworn to die.

Woohoo, there are more than 100 strong men, and a few people will return in the future!
