Chapter 996: Drinking the Yangtze River

The Ming army first pressed on the whole front, and after the arrival of the main force of the Wei army, they hurriedly lined up.

The Ming soldiers were attacked by the Wei army and the horses before the main formation was completed, and then collapsed in a volley of guns from the west.

On the wilderness, there were scattered and fleeing figures everywhere, Yan Yingyuan's robes were stained with blood, and he rushed out on horseback, followed only by dozens of cavalry, and the Wei army chased all the way.

Yan Yingyuan rushed left and right, and suddenly reined in his horse by the river, his eyes fixed on the surging river, and the cavalry behind him were also bloodstained with armor, reining in the restless war horse.

At this time, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, dozens of Wei cavalry chased and killed, the Ming cavalry saw this, their faces were shocked, and a thousand generals pulled the reins of the horse, "General, go quickly!" ”

After finishing speaking, he led more than ten horsemen, pulled out his horse and rushed back, and collided with the pursuing Wei army.

Yan Yingyuan, escorted by two cavalrymen, continued to gallop west along the river bank, and the cavalry behind him hedged against the Wei army for two rounds, and all of them were stabbed off their horses.

Wei Jun pulled out the reins of his horse and raised his horse lance, "Chase!" ”

Dozens of horsemen left the corpse of the Ming army behind them, and continued to chase forward, and after a while, they met two more Ming soldiers and were still stabbed to death by the Wei army.

Yan Yingyuan was alone, galloping west for several miles, the sound of hooves behind him was approaching, and when he was anxious, a small boat approached the shore, Yan Yingyuan jumped on his horse and boarded the boat.

The cavalry of the Wei army pursued and killed, and the leader grabbed the reins of the horse, only to see the boat sailing away, and the general, holding an iron gun, knelt on the bow of the boat.

……

Gaoyou, hordes of Ming prisoners, lined up in long lines, were escorted to the north, while the Wei soldiers marched south.

On the battlefield, hundreds of Wei troops formed a circle, soldiers stood with spears, and a Ming Dynasty scarlet robe in the middle sat on the ground, slapped the ground with both palms, regretting the pain, and slapped until the palms were shattered, dripping with blood, and they didn't know it.

Seeing this, the surrounding Wei soldiers did not dare to step forward, because this person's identity was not ordinary, and he was Ma Shiying, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the crowd suddenly dispersed, and Gao Yihuan, dressed in gold armor, came over on a horse, and when he saw Ma Shiying, who was extremely remorseful, he couldn't help but turn over.

"Why should the Cabinet be like this?" Gao Yihuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The cabinet has done its best, and the general trend is returning to Wei, why don't the cabinet come down early?" ”

Gao Yihuan has some friendship with Ma Shiying, although Ma Shiying has formed a gang and engaged in party fighting, and his ability is not outstanding, but this person still has a bottom line and has discipline.

If he is willing to surrender, Gao Yihuan will give him a high position in order to recruit the Ma Party in the Southern Ming court.

Ma Shiying glanced up at Gao Yihuan, but he didn't scold, he lost his mind for a while, and then said miserably: "When I was in Shandong, I thought you were extraordinary, and I didn't want you to have today's achievements." ”

Gao Yihuan said: "My heart is in the world, and if I want to establish an immortal career, if the Ma Ge Department serves the Great Wei, the achievements will also be extraordinary." ”

Ma Shiying shook his head, "How dare a person who misunderstands others again." My heart is like ashes, and I don't want to rebel, so let you dispose of it! ”

Gao Yihuan frowned, in history, the Hongguang Dynasty fell, and Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but Ma Shiying kept the bottom line when the two anti-Qing regimes in Tang and Lu did not accept him and turned him away, but he kept the bottom line, did not surrender to the Qing, and was killed after a year of guerrilla.

Gao Yihuan looked at Ma Shiying, who was in despair, to make sure that he was not hesitating, he was silent for a while, and waved his hand: "Take it down, don't be disrespectful to the Ma Ge Department!" ”

……

At the fourth watch, the city of Nanjing was still dark, and it was silent, only occasionally I saw the Jinyi guards patrolling with lanterns, and saw the sound of bangzi.

The Wei Ming War affected the world, and Nanjing, as the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty, had already been rumored to be, and the city was inspected very strictly.

Usually near the fifth watch, there will be people in Nanjing City to light up the lights, officials are ready to get up and go to the court, and various small shops, especially breakfast stalls, are also preparing to open a store and a film industry, which will gradually become lively, but now it is still quiet.

Outside Nanjing, there were several horses' hooves outside the city gate, and a general ran to the city alone.

The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the defenders of the city, and one of the hundred households poked his head out, dropped a torch, and saw the people by the light of the fire.

"Who are you?" Seeing that the people who came were embarrassed, Baihu was carrying an iron spear in his hand, covered in blood, and shouted in shock.

The person under the city was Yan Yingyuan, he raised his head and shouted urgently: "Open the city gate quickly, I have an urgent military report." ”

At this time, in the imperial study of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, the lights had been on all night.

The news of the fall of Runan and the interspersed passage of the Wei army to Yangzhou has been sent to Zhu Cihong's desk.

In the study, several cabinet scholars were all red-eyed, and Zhu Cihong had a gloomy face, "What do you think Aiqing should do?" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is not so bad. Although the Wei army broke through Runan and interspersed with Yangzhou, they still had no way to take the Yangtze River. If the Jiangbei army can clear the wilderness and defend the city, even if the Wei army occupies Yangzhou and Huai'an and other cities behind it, they will not dare to cross the river rashly. In this way, the Wei thief is still dragged in Jiangbei, and as long as I win in Huguang, we can still reverse the unfavorable situation. ”

Zhu Cihong calmed down a little when he heard this, he paced back and forth, and finally stood still: "What the Qing family said makes sense, as long as the Wei army is dragged and the army wins victory in Huguang, it will be able to go down the river and reinforce Jiangnan." ”

Lu Zhenfei said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the key is to not know the situation in Jiangbei now, in case it ~~~~~~"

Zhu Cihong's heart sank, in case the Ming army in Jiangbei lost the battle and was annihilated by the Wei army, then Jiangnan would be in danger.

At this moment, the eunuch Lu Jiude suddenly reported outside, "Your Majesty, it is said outside that there is an urgent military intelligence report. ”

Hearing that it was an emergency military situation, Zhu Cihong and the scholars in the room were all shocked, and they were afraid of bad news at this time.

"What military information?" Zhu Cihong held the imperial case with his hands, and his face was tense.

"The ministers don't know that the person who came has already arrived outside the palace!" Lu Jiude said.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand in a deep voice: "Let him come in!" ”

Not long after, Yan Yingyuan, who was covered in blood, entered the imperial study, Zhu Cihong and the others suddenly trembled in their hearts, his lips trembled a little, he stood up, and held the imperial case with his hand again, "Qing family this is~"

"Your Majesty, Huai'an is finished, Jiangbei is finished, and Wei thief is in the river!" Yan Yingyuan knelt on the ground with a puff.

Zhu Cihong was ready, but he was still hit by five thunders, his legs were weak, and he sat back to the imperial case with a heavy buttocks, his face was pale.

"How so? What about Ma Shiying? Zhu Cihong's face was colorless, and he immediately became angry.

"The Cabinet Department should have been captured!" Yan Yingyuan said bitterly.

When Ruan Dacheng heard this, his face was so shocked that his face was pale, and several scholars on the side also looked solemn.

Zhu Cihong suddenly screamed and beat his chest, "God kill me!" ”

(The next chapter will be about eleven o'clock in the evening, and I will go out during the day.) )
