The Qing army crossed the Han River and was storming Hanyang City, and two hours after the war began, the news came that Hanyang was tight, and the atmosphere in the general staff hall began to become tense.

As the so-called name of the person and the shadow of the tree, over the years, the reputation of the Tartar for its fierce and fierce has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people;

What's more, Li Zicheng's soldiers in a hundred battles were also defeated again and again, and they were chased all the way from Shanhaiguan to Guanzhong, and then from Wuchang, who was chased from Guanzhong, panicked like a lost dog.

When people mention Tartar, they can stop children from crying at night.

This time, the Qing army stormed for two hours, which made the well-prepared Hanyang City tight, and no one in the Qin army dared to doubt the strong combat power of the Tartars.

Qin Mu asked in a deep voice, "Can we still send troops to reinforce Hanyang?" ”

At present, there are only 10,000 infantry of Liu Yongzhi and 5,000 cavalry of Su Jin in Hanyang City, and Su Jin's 5,000 cavalry is not suitable for city defense.

He Liang shook his head and pointed to the sand table and said: "My lord, please see, in the westernmost part, there are 60,000 Dashun troops of Li Guo and Gao Yigong in Shuanghegou, followed by more than 40,000 Qing troops of Shang Kexi; Hanyang Wuchang is under pressure from nearly 40,000 elites in Azig; On the Huangzhou side, Li Zicheng's 200,000 horses are also very likely to find an opportunity to cross the river, and Wu Sangui's 30,000 troops also have to be guarded. In Anqing, there are 200,000 horses from Zuo Mengeng. In total, our army is under pressure of nearly 600,000 troops. ”

He Liang's words are not exaggerated at all, although these 600,000 troops have their own masters, they all have ill intentions;

As soon as a certain group of men and horses crossed the river, the defense line of Huguang Jiangxi was immediately broken;

The Qin army will fall into a chaotic war, and Huguang and Jiangxi will inevitably be full of smoke and misery.

He Liang continued: "At present, Ling Zhan is guarding Jingmen, with 10,000 troops; Zhao insisted on Chengtian, and the number of troops was also 10,000, and Li Jiu's 5,000 cavalry assisted in the defense of Jingmen and Chengtian. Ning Yuan defended Jingzhou, with 10,000 troops;

Han Xiu guarded Yuezhou, with 5,000 troops. Liu Meng guarded Dazhi, Huanggang, Makou, and Xingguo Prefecture to the east of Wuchang. 35,000 troops.

Meng Ke had to defend Jiujiang, Pengze, and Chizhou, and spent another 50,000 troops. Cui Feng defended Nanchang with 10,000 troops. Stay in Ganzhou to Liancheng, with 5,000 troops.

Then count the 15,000 men of Hanyang, Liu Yongzhi and Su Jin. A total of 155,000 troops have been expended. At present, only Ma Yongzhen's 10,000 horses are defending in Wuchang City. It is really inappropriate to transfer Wuchang troops to cross the river. ”

200,000 against 600,000, and to try to keep Huguang Jiangxi, at least two months, because it is already late April, and it is almost time for the summer harvest, so it must be kept for another two months, and then make another plan after the summer harvest.

Now hundreds of people have fled to Huguang, Jiangxi. A lot of food is needed to save lives, so it is important to preserve this year's summer harvest. As a result, the Qin army will undoubtedly be under tremendous pressure and overstretched in strength.

Zhuge Min, who was present, said hesitantly: "My lord, if you don't give up Hanyang, the whole army will withdraw to the south bank, and then attack it when the Qing army is halfway crossed." ”

Qin Mu replied categorically: "No! This is the first battle, and we must not retreat or give up an inch of land. Come on. Take the armor of the official, and the official will personally go to Hanyang to supervise the battle, I don't believe it, the Tartars have three heads and six arms. Even if he is three-headed and six-armed, the official will kill him without leaving a piece of armor. ”

"My lord, no! You are the commander of the three armies, how can you come to Yashi lightly. ”

"The commanders of the three armies can't come to Yaishi in person. Who said this? Listen, help the officer prepare the coffin, this battle. The city is born in me, and the city is ruined and I am dead. ”

Everyone dissuaded again, but Qin Mu resolutely put on his armor, grabbed the giant sword with his right hand, and "Smack!" with his left hand! He closed Leng Sensen's iron mask, as if to block out all the dissuasive voices.

During the whole process, only Sima An didn't say a word, because he knew that Qin Mu Weishenme was going to come to Hanyang to supervise the battle, and Sima An could even guess that when necessary, Qin Mu was very likely to personally rush into battle;

But he didn't dissuade him, he just silently arranged for this, and secretly told Niu Wanshan.

Qin Mu took his personal guards, and just boarded the boat to cross the river, when a call suddenly came from the shore, Qin Mu looked back, but saw a light cloud coming;

Li Xiangjun held the pipa in his arms, held a concentric bun on his head, inserted a jasper hairpin, wore a heart-shaped Luo shirt, and wore eight Xiangshui skirts. The lips are not dotted and Dan, the eyebrows are not painted but green, as if the moon is covered by light clouds, fluttering like the snow of the wind, and the bright and beautiful posture is to the extreme.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Muheng glanced at her and shouted.

Li Xiangjun smiled: "The master wants to live and die with Hanyang, how can the concubine live alone." Hanyang is here, the master is here; The lord is here, the concubine is here"

"Nonsense! Hurry back, the bloody battlefield is a man's business. ”

"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. The lord lived up to the ambition of the day, how could the concubine break her word and get fat, a song of the general's order, and wait for the king's triumphant return. Li Xiangjun smiled unabated, as light as Concubine Xiang wading in the water, zuihou She also added, "Doesn't the master have the confidence to win?" ”

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, yes, what is there to worry about, Hanyang City is here, Xiangjun is safe, Hanyang City is broken, it's a big deal to be a mandarin duck with the same fate.

**********

On the city of Hanyang, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, the river wind blows sadly, obscuring the dim sunlight in the sky, and the earth-shattering sound of fighting is echoing like a wave, and the grass and trees under the city are broken, and the dust is flying.

Wave after wave of Qing troops, stepping on the blood and corpses all over the ground, clutching the cold sword and shield, showing their white teeth, roared like thunder and rushed towards the city wall;

In the distance, on the wind-shaken dust, the whining of trumpets sounded one after another.

The proud tartars, the proud battle flags, the eyes that regard life as mustard, pierce through the smoke and dust, and nail it to the city wall.

A rain of arrows, like the air flow brought out by countless shouts rushed up to the city, crackling like a torrent of rain hitting plantains, the Qin army at the head of the city slightly negligent, that is, the arrows into the flesh, blood splashed.

Rumble! Boom! The bombs dropped by the Qin army burst into clusters of sparks among the enemy, with severed limbs and blood, brilliant and demonic, like the blooming demon fire of hell, devouring clumps of flesh and blood.

Rows of ladders covered the city wall, strings of Tartars with fierce angry eyes, struggling to climb up, rolling stones fell with a roar, the ladders snapped and broke, and the Tartars fell like flying, screaming and screaming.

Some fierce white-armored soldiers rushed to the head of the city, and the Qin army on the head of the city started a life-and-death fight, these murderous white-armored soldiers, wielding big knives, cut down the surrounding Qin troops one by one, as if they were painting with a big knife soaked in blood.

Their white armor is very fine, except for a few exposed places, and their bodies are hardly afraid of swords and guns.

The Qin army rushed forward one after another, slashing with guns and bayonets, most of them in vain, and often relied on the commander to organize all the soldiers and rush up desperately together, so as to completely tear off the white armor under the city.

Under the counterattack of the Qin army, which forgot to die, once again smashed the Qing army's round of offensive, the drums and horns stopped, the Qing army temporarily retreated in the thick smoke of gunpowder, the city was soaked in blood, and the wounded soldiers let out a moan, tearing people's hearts and lungs.

Layers of corpses and stumps were laid under the city, and the strong smell of blood made people sick;

The bleak sunlight can't penetrate the smoke of gunpowder, if ghosts gather under the clouds;

The grass stalks on the ground were broken, the broken arrows were all over the ground, and the wounded and undead war horses were screaming in desolation, which was sad and miserable to watch.

Liu Yongzhi, the commander of the Qin army, was also injured in two places, his face was blackened, his clothes and armor were stained red with blood, and he was still yelling at the head of the city, ordering his soldiers to carry arrows and stones, preparing to meet the next round of onslaught of the Qing army.

The people under the city also rushed to the city under the organization of Yue Zhongliang, the servant of the army.

Some helped carry the arrows, some brought hot food and water, and some helped carry the wounded.

Wu Youxing took the military doctors of the medical department in the temporarily vacated civilian houses, racing against time to help the wounded soldiers to open knives and arrows, apply medicine and stitches, bandage wounds, and transfuse blood to save the dead.

The Qin army had never faced such a fierce enemy before, and although they had received nearly two years of hard training, most of the soldiers lacked experience in major battles.

Now as soon as they come up, they are facing such a fierce enemy, and many Qin troops are in a panic and cannot exert fifty percent of their usual combat effectiveness;

As a result, there were heavy casualties, and the city defense soon became urgent.

Various rumors about the invincibility of the Jurchens began to spread among the Qin army at the head of the city, causing morale to gradually decline;

Many people had the idea of retreating, discussing that they should retreat across the river and rely on the Yangtze River to stop the enemy.

At this moment, a black banner with the word "Qin" appeared on the head of the city, black mysteriously, black and solemn, hunting and rolling in the smoke of gunpowder.

When the Qin soldiers at the head of the city saw this black flag, they were immediately silent
