"The battle over there is almost beginning." Zhu Linmiao looked at the foot of the Purple Mountain and signaled to Chen Yi, "First recapture my Daming's dragon vein, and then Nanjing City!"

"It's just that under the sword soldiers, I'm afraid that the south side will damage the furnishings in the mausoleum......"

He looked up at the sky and asked Shi Lin, "What time is it?" Why didn't you see any movement in the Xiaoling Weekly? ”

"Back to my lord, it's Shen Shi."

It was an hour and a half later than the scheduled time for the capture of Xiaoling. Zhu Linmiao frowned, and was about to send someone to check the situation, when he saw Yu Xin bring a few officers and a team of soldiers up the mountain quickly, and saluted with joy on his face: "Report to the lord!" Xiaoling is under the control of our army! ”

"So fast?!" Zhu Linmiao was a little surprised. Because the significance of filial piety is very significant, Hong Chengchou has been sending nearly 1,000 people to garrison here, he just sent hussars to explore a few days ago, and the captives also dug a trench outside the mausoleum, and set up guns and cannons inside.

There is a city wall around the filial piety tomb, which is only about seven miles away from the east side of Nanjing, and the Qing army rushes out of the city, and it will be able to rush here for reinforcements in a moment. Therefore, he also asked Yu Xin Chen to prepare carefully on the east side of Nanjing, and then began to capture Xiaoling.

Unexpectedly, before the expected fierce battle began, Xiaoling had already returned to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Excellency," Yu Xin said busily, "In fact, there are only some eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and they have not encountered stubborn resistance from the thieves. ”

"How could there be no one?"

Yu Xin beckoned behind him, and two soldiers escorted an old eunuch forward. Yu Xin immediately asked in a deep voice: "Say, where are the thieves?!" ”

The old eunuch fell to his knees and kowtowed again and again, "Back to the general's words, from last night to this morning, there were constantly captives fleeing to respond to Tianfu, and among them there was even Niu Lu Zhangjing with a yellow flag.

"These people all said that the 70,000-strong army of Luckdehun was wiped out in less than half a day! The heavenly army encountered by Yan was fierce and incomparable, and the soldiers were determined to die, like crazy demons. In addition, the cannon is extremely sharp, the gun is like rain, no armor is broken, and the cannon is like a bead, turning more than ten rings!

"By the way, they also say that there are steel armor soldiers galloping on horseback, invulnerable. Later, it was explained that the army sent tens of thousands of iron soldiers to the battle, protecting the body with witchcraft, riding tigers and elephants to fight, and leading the sky and thunder to attack the enemy, and the ghosts and gods were difficult to ......

"Just last night, the thieves stationed in Xiaoling had already run away. At dawn today, there was news that even tens of thousands of thieves on the front line of Qiantang had withdrawn to Nanjing, and the few remaining captives immediately fled into the city. ”

Zhu Linwei was stunned when she heard this. Different from the closed environment during the victory of Shanguan, because the battle of Jurong was carried out on the plain, after the defeat of the Jianyu, they fled in all directions, and it was extremely difficult to catch up, and the cavalry of the Ming army at that time was physically exhausted, and it was even more difficult to wipe out all the routs, and at least thousands of Qing troops fled back to the vicinity of Nanjing.

On the way to Nanjing, he also mentioned to the generals that these routs would make the tactics and equipment of the Ming army no longer secret, and the thieves would definitely be on guard in the future, and everyone should be more careful when commanding the troops.

Unexpectedly, it was passed on like this by Jianyu.

"Hmph, what 'invincible people'? This Jianyu is also raised by his mother's father, and there are times when he is afraid! He said coldly, "Although the Battle of Jurong exposed a lot of information about our army, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and after this battle, the psychological advantage accumulated by Jianyu over the Ming army's consecutive victories in the past ten or twenty years is gone." In the future, the advantage of our army is bound to be more obvious! ”

It's really amazing on the psychological level. Even if a sheep is as strong as an ox, when it sees a thin wolf of fifty or sixty pounds, it dares to turn around and flee. Since Salhu, most of the Ming army regarded Jianzhu as a tiger, and their hands and legs were weak before the war. In this way, the military is superior, and it is difficult to win.

However, I believe that when the news of Jurong's victory spreads all over the world, this situation will be greatly reduced, and even many people who did not dare to be enemies of Jianyu will be inspired and will take up arms to resist!

The surrounding officers also laughed when they heard this: "This Jiannu is timid, but he is not as good as the rotten guards." ”

"Tens of thousands of iron soldiers? Riding a tiger to fight? This is really dare to make it up, haha. ”

"The thief is scared this time......"

Zhu Linmiao looked at the old eunuch again and asked, "Then why didn't you run?" ”

"General Hui," the old eunuch bowed and said, "The slave and maid are not Tartars, and the slave and maid are convenient for Xiaoling to be a sprinkler eunuch during the Apocalypse." After the Tartars came, the slaves and maids begged for money everywhere, so that they could stay in Xiaoling, because they were afraid that the grandfather would be neglected.

"In addition to the slaves and maids, there are more than 270 people here, all of whom are waiting here in the Chongzhen Dynasty. When the slaves and maids saw Jiannu wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, they didn't expect to see the day when Wang Shi returned to Beijing in their lifetimes. It's too late to be happy now, how can you escape? ”

Faithful servants. Zhu Linmiao nodded to let him get up, and said, "Then you will still take care of the affairs of Xiaoling." By the way, can the furnishings of the temple in the mausoleum be damaged? ”

"Back to the general, in order to win the hearts of the people, the Tartars boast of being the successor of the Ming Dynasty, so they have not lost a single bit to Xiaoling."

"That's good." Zhu Linmiao continued to instruct, "I will allocate some silver taels to you." After you go back, take people to make more preparations, and after I capture Nanjing, the Holy Lord will come to the filial piety tomb to worship in person. ”

"The slave obeys." When the eunuch heard that the Son of Heaven was coming to worship the heavens, he burst into tears with excitement, "The slave and maid will do their best to live up to their trust!" ”

When Yu Xin took the old eunuch away, Zhu Linmiao also went to Xiaoling in person.

Shi Lin arched his hand and said: "My lord, why don't you sacrifice the mausoleum immediately, but wait until after the recovery of Nanjing?" ”

Zhu Linmiao shook his head slightly, and said in his heart that Zheng Chenggong was in a hurry to sacrifice the filial piety mausoleum to celebrate his achievements, which caused the soldiers to start underestimating the enemy, and was finally attacked by Jianyu.

"Worship is a major event, and it is bound to involve a lot of things, and even disrupt the deployment of our army." He said to Shi Lin, "But there is another thing to pay tribute to now."

"Also, let the announcement put down other things at hand and spread the news of the 'dragon vein' returning to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."

When he could already see Xiaoling's dismount workshop, Ying Tianxiang rushed to say again: "My lord, what you ordered has been arranged, and a total of 2,000 taels of silver will be consumed, and the big weavers in the nearby counties will ensure that the system will be completed within two days." ”

"Good. The matter of mourning is related to the will of the military and the people, and it must be carefully arranged as I said. ”

"Yes!"

"Your Highness!" As the two were talking, more than a dozen horses came galloping, dozens of feet away, and the first one was already shouting at the top of his voice, "Great victory!" Hangzhou victory! ”

"Hangzhou?" Zhu Linmiao was quite surprised, what kind of big battle was fought in Hangzhou?

The more than ten horsemen came to the front and dismounted and saluted, led by Deng Shan, the camp of the Broken Prisoners. He was extremely excited: "Your Highness, Zhang Yishi and his subordinates have broken through Hangzhou City!"

"Zhang Yishi asked his subordinates to lead his troops to Nanjing to help in the war, and he is leading his troops to Suzhou at the moment!"
