Xuzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first year of Chongzhen, the city wall collapsed due to the bursting of the Yellow River, and finally became a dead city, and after four years of water receded, it was rebuilt according to Chongzhen's order to the south of the original site, and at this time it has become the forefront of blocking Chongzhen's southward army.

Well, that's kind of ironic.

Alas, many things in this chaotic world are so strange, just like the guards of the city at this time.

Liu Zeqing.

Emperor Yongchang of Dashun under the command of Xuzhou Jiedu envoy Chu Marquis Liu Zeqing, melancholy standing on the tower of Wuning Gate, looking at the Yellow River rolling east not far away, this yellow dragon is surging in the north of Xuzhou City, the river surface Yunji Bridge undulates with the waves, the north bank of the Yunji Bridge took a year to build up the Zhensi Fort stands silently, less than a mile east of the Zhensi Fort, a longitudinal green river is mighty, this is the Si River, but also the middle section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the vertical and horizontal two big rivers are in the east of Xuzhou City Intersection, The turbid river rushes to the southeast until it flows into the sea hundreds of miles away in Haizhou.

This is Xuzhou.

A figure that has been inscribed countless times in the history of thousands of years of war in China.

"Alas, there is another war!"

Liu Zeqing said helplessly.

At this time, his gaze has crossed the wall of Zhensi Fort, and landed on the Si River almost at the end of his line of sight in the north, where countless sails are connected into a seemingly endless long dragon, at this time, he seems to be able to see countless red figures are stepping on the riverbank, and he also seems to be able to see a yellow crank cover representing the identity of the emperor, which is moving towards the shore in the red like a tide, the twelve dragon flags in front of the yellow crank cover are fierce in the wind, and a familiar figure wearing a red dragon robe is like a giant dragon stepping on the river bank, This figure has promoted him from an ordinary petty officer to the Shandong General Army, the Governor of Zuo, the Prince and the Prince, and today he ......

It's time for him to reciprocate.

"Herald!"

Liu Zeqing slammed the wine glass on the city wall and then roared: "Fight to the end with that dog emperor!" ”

"Fight to the end!"

A group of generals roared around him.

"Fight to the end!"

The soldiers in green shirts roared.

"Fight to the end!"

The gray-haired old sages were also trembling and roaring.

It was the ordinary soldiers and ordinary people who accounted for the majority of the city's population, but none of them shouted, they just watched expressionlessly, as if watching a lame monkey show

Almost at the same time, on the tower of the town of Sibao in the distance, like a flame monster drilled out of the ground, a huge ball of fire suddenly rose, although it was several miles away, it seemed that the terrifying power could be felt here, as if it could see how the tower was shattered in an instant, and the next moment four of the same fire balls continued to rise one after another in this small city with a circumference of only four miles, and then a dull explosion like thunder accompanied by a faint tremor of the earth.

Then there was an instant of exclamation on the city wall.

Liu Zeqing's legs trembled, and he hurriedly beckoned to a cronie.

"Surrender?"

Half an hour later, on the forward position of the Ming army north of Zhensi Fort, Yang Feng, who was looking at the map, looked at the messenger in the distance speechlessly.

"Beat it up, throw it out!"

Then he said to Liang Cheng.

He didn't have time to talk nonsense with Lao Liu, Liu Zeqing had to die, just for the notoriety in the history of this guy, that would not be forgiven, not to mention that Liu Zeqing's family had silver, originally in history he was killed by Dolgon because of too much silver, and in this time and space, this guy followed Li Zicheng to rob it in Nanjing, and it is estimated that there will be more property in that family, so it is reasonable to want to destroy him.

"Your Majesty, are you starting the siege?"

Just when Liang Cheng went to beat Liu Zeqing's envoy out, Zhu Yiwu asked a little impatiently.

"No, keep banging!"

Yang Feng looked at the five Shenwei Invincible General Cannons that were firing not far away, shook his head and said.

He is now not short of cannonballs, in this year's preparation time, he cast a full four thousand giant flowering shells, although Wu Sangui was given half of them, but with two hundred such cannonballs to blast this small castle, it is completely bearable, this is his first battle in the south, is to play the emperor's majesty, or to let the opponent feel his violent style, to let them in front of the emperor's heavenly might......

"Your Majesty, look, the enemy has surrendered!"

Suddenly, there was a scream.

"Huh?!"

……

Zhensi Fort surrendered.

The five Shenwei Invincible General Cannons had just blasted out thirty shells, and the defenders of this small castle opened the city gate and surrendered to His Majesty the Emperor under the stunned eyes of Yang Feng and the Ming soldiers.

"Quick, seize the Yunji Bridge immediately!"

Yang Feng said to He Hui, commander of the First Cavalry Brigade.

Against the backdrop of the open city gate across from him, a large number of defenders were swarming out, holding a makeshift lowering flag in front of them, and below the banner was a group of struggling generals, reluctantly grinding forward step by step under the punches and kicks of the soldiers.

He Hui immediately turned on his horse, and then waved his hand to the more than 4,000 cavalry who were gathering and waiting not far away, and the huge cavalry torrent rushed forward in an instant, and soon swept past them in the evasion of those defenders who went out of the city, and rushed straight into the gate of Zhensi Fort like the wind, and also rushed straight through the avoidance of the defenders in the city. When they approached the south gate, the Shun army guarding the gate opened the city gate as fast as possible, and in the blink of an eye, this cavalry rushed out of the south gate, with a ferocious momentum, and rushed straight to the Yunji Bridge less than a mile away, and before the small number of defenders at the head of the bridge could react, the vanguard of this iron cavalry had already appeared on this vital pontoon bridge.

At this time, Liu Zeqing in Xuzhou City didn't even understand it, because there was still Zhensi Fort between him and the Ming army, in fact, he couldn't see the real situation there at all, and it was impossible not to know that the defenders of this castle had surrendered out of the north gate, and when he came to his senses, the vanguard of the first cavalry brigade had already crossed the bridge.

"Quick, beat them back!"

Liu Zeqing shouted in horror.

He is very clear about the significance of this bridge to Xuzhou City, Xuzhou is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, and if you want to attack the city from the north, you have to cross the Yellow River first, in his plan, once the situation of Zhensi Fort is critical, he will immediately burn the Yunji Bridge, but he did not expect that the Ming army opened artillery until now It has not been half an hour, and this castle that he has high hopes for has actually surrendered.

They haven't really attacked the city yet!

"Li Chengdong, I'll kill your whole family!"

Just when the Wuning Gate opened and the five thousand cavalry of Liu Zeqing's closest confidants in the city swarmed out to fight for the Yunji Bridge, his sad roar sounded at the head of the city.

"Li Chengdong? Dragged to the side and chopped! ”

At the same time, Yang Feng, north of Zhensi Fort, looked at the guards kneeling in front of him, waved his hand in disgust and said.

Jin Yiwei on both sides immediately stepped forward, in Li Chengdong's struggle, directly dragged him to the side and pressed him to the ground, a Jinyi guard pulled out a dagger and stabbed him into his neck very skillfully, the original history of the culprit of the three massacres in Jiading made a strange sound in his throat, kneeling there with both hands kept grabbing indiscriminately, the Jinyi Wei indifferently pressed the dagger, successfully cut off the seam of the cervical vertebrae, and cut off his head in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Yang Feng had already ridden the war horse.

He casually tossed a medal to the petty officer who had led the defenders to surrender, then picked up his giant Mosaber from the ground.

"Lead the way!"

Then he pointed at his long knife and said.

"Your Honor!"

The little officer said hurriedly.

Then he turned and ran with his companion towards Zhensi Fort.

Behind him, Yang Feng immediately urged the war horse, leading the heavy cavalry brigade under his direct command to also rush to Zhensi Fort, in the bow of the castle defenders, the torrent of this iron cavalry surged into the city directly, and in the blink of an eye, the forerunner of the twelve dragon flags appeared on the Yunji Bridge, and then rushed across the Yellow River, straight to the battlefield outside the city.

In fact, by this time the Shun army had already begun to rout.

Liu Zeqing's department is known for its rotten combat effectiveness, even if his most elite cronies are just not so bad, these guys who were even beaten by Li Zicheng at the time of the Battle of Kaifeng can be said to be on the verge of collapse, how can they resist those wolf-like Ming cavalry, you must know that at least half of the soldiers in the first cavalry brigade are from the Eight Banners of the Baoyi Army, although the background is not good, but the combat effectiveness is undoubted, so it is needless to say what the result of the two cavalry will be.

It can be said that the former is still a one-touch collapse.

However, Liu Zeqing is not ready to give up, he must press the Ming army back to the north bank anyway, and then burn this pontoon bridge, which can be said to be deadly, otherwise the Ming artillery will be blocked outside Xuzhou City, under his urging, the infantry in Xuzhou City is still pouring out from Wuning Gate, with their backs to the city gate, ready to meet the Ming army that has defeated their cavalry.

There are 50,000 defenders in this city!

The 1st Cavalry Brigade immediately stopped the pursuit, and then moved to the sides to move out of the middle, and let the emperor and the heavy cavalry brigade behind them step forward.

The first to step forward was still the lead of the twelve dragon flags, these twelve brocade guards who rode the first batch of horses transported by Zheng Zhilong, holding the reins in one hand and the flag in the other, quickly divided to both sides in the wild run, and His Majesty the Emperor, who wore a cuirass and a red dragon robe behind them, immediately urged the horse forward. The emperor who changed to a black Antalusian horse that Zheng Zhilong used a pocket watch to exchange for from the Spaniards in Luzon carried a huge four-meter-long Mo knife on his shoulder, and the red cloak behind him was flying, and he was like a god in the sun.

"And if you are not my subjects, how dare you make an enemy of me, and quickly behead Liu Zeqing to sacrifice!"

Yang Feng roared with a finger of the long knife.

"Don't listen to this dog emperor!"

On the wall of Wuning Gate, Liu Zeqing screamed in horror.

The soldiers looked at each other.

"You don't want to divide the field!"

Yang Feng controlled the restless war horse and roared.

The soldiers continued to look at each other

"Hurry up!"

Liu Zeqing shouted to the gunners not far away.

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his back, and then something cold pierced his body, and he stared at the tip of the knife on his chest in amazement, and then turned back with some difficulty.

Behind him, a soldier suddenly drew his bloody goose feather knife and raised it high into the sky.

"Kaicheng welcomes the emperor, and the emperor has come to divide the land."

In Liu Zeqing's last consciousness, there was only this excited roar.
