Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 147 Come quickly, the prince jumped into the river! (Seeking a monthly pass, asking for a subscription)
When black smoke and flames rose from the sky above Fushun County, the Qing Dingyuan Pingkou General Prince An Yue Le had not actually wiped out his entire army!
The whole army is wiped out if there is no one left, and there are hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers around Yue Le, so how can this be considered an annihilation of the whole army?

But these thousands of Eight Banners soldiers were quite embarrassed.In order to lighten the load on their horses so that they can run faster, they have lost their gun helmets, cloth armor, long swords, and other miscellaneous things.Everyone just took a waist knife, bow and arrow, dry food, wore a short jacket, and fled for their lives shirtless on horseback.

It is no exaggeration to say that since Nurhachi rebelled with thirteen sets of leftover armor, these Eight Banners soldiers (Jianzhou Jurchen) have not been in any embarrassment!
When Nurhachi raised his army back then, he still had thirteen pairs of armor. Now Yue Le and others have no armor. It is really shameful that they are running for their lives shirtless!

Yue Le, who has been fighting with the wind all his life, has no face to face anyone. After fleeing all the way, he didn't even think about commanding his subordinates. It was Fei Yanggu who was in command. He asked everyone to throw away their armor and luggage so that they could escape lightly. Also him.

Now this big lord is riding a horse with shirtless arms and closely following Yue Le. He has to keep a close eye on this lord!He is Yue Le's subordinate, and he must protect the prince well. As for whether Yue Le will be sent to Caishikou by the embarrassed Kangxi after returning to Beijing, he doesn't care.

But now he has to make sure that Yue Le won't let Wu Sangui's people catch him alive, and he can't let Yue Le fall into the fate of "Chuanshou Yunguichuan" - Chuanshou can be passed on to other places, but Wu Sangui can't take Yue Le's Head to show off.

But it is a bit difficult to protect Yue Le comprehensively!

Because Wu Sangui's cavalry was chasing very close, more than 1000 cavalry with bamboo spears kept biting Yue Le and Fei Yanggu, but Fei Yanggu tried his best to get rid of them.

What's more dangerous is that Yue Le and Fei Yanggu have already been driven by Wu Bing to the edge of the Tuojiang River, where the water is deep and urgent.Fei Yanggu had the confidence to swim there, but Yue Le and their men didn't seem to have much confidence in their water skills, so they didn't dare to swim in the river, so they had to continue running along the Tuojiang River.When they ran out of people and horses, they hadn't shaken off the pursuers, but they ran outside a dilapidated town that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years.

"My lord, there is a small city ahead, it should be a town, let's go in first to rest and catch our breath!" Fei Yanggu said loudly to Yue Le, who was running for his life with his head covered.

Yue Le looked up, and there was indeed a small city with low walls in front of it. It was on the edge of the Tuojiang River. It looked quite big, but it was uninhabited, and looked completely abandoned.At this time, he was also a little tired, and he could still feel that the horse under his crotch was getting more and more tired.If you don't take a break and turn around and exhaust Male to death, it will really be over.

"Okay, let's go to the city to take a breath." Yue Le paused, and then said, "This small town should be a town, and there should be many houses in it. I saw it when I came to Sichuan with the old King Su (Haoge)." Many towns like this have been slaughtered, what a crime!"

"Yes! It's all Zhang Xianzhong's fault!" Fei Yang said, "But the current situation in Sichuan is also good for us. We just need to follow Sima Yi's example and build high fortifications in deep ditches in Shaanxi and Gansu to block Wu Sangui from him. Go north. With the current manpower and material resources in Sichuan, even if Zhuge is reborn, Wu can only be blocked in Yunguichuan!"

Yue Le nodded, "As long as the King of Shuncheng can bring Fushun's army back to Baoning, then my Qing Dynasty can still survive this catastrophe." He paused, "Fei Yanggu, come back and send Let’s go search to see if there is any usable wood, and let’s find a way to make some wooden rafts, so that crossing the river will be easier.”

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll send someone to do it." As he spoke, Fei Yanggu waved his arms at the Eight Banners soldiers behind him, and pointed to the town ahead, "Come with me. Go to the city to rest!"

"Whoo!"

The Eight Banners soldiers who followed Yue Le and Fei Yanggu to flee for their lives were already exhausted.Now when I hear that I can go to the city to rest and shout "嗻", I almost cheer.

A large group of people quickly poured into this small town.

Although the city is small, there are still walls and gates that can withstand the pursuit of soldiers.

The chasing Wu Jun bamboo spear cavalry looked a little tired, so instead of launching an attack, they dismounted and rested outside the town.

It seems that they are not in a hurry, just wondering if they are waiting for follow-up reinforcements?

After arranging a few "shirtless Eight Banners soldiers" to guard the city gate, Yue Le and Fei Yanggu rode into the town together.Sure enough, there were no people in the town, there were collapsed or burned buildings everywhere, and all kinds of green plants had spread to every corner, almost swallowing the whole town.In the center of the town, there is an open space paved with bluestone slabs that has not been covered by these miscellaneous plants.Yue Le and Fei Yanggu got off their horses there, and a palace guard brought them some dry food and drinking water. The two of them were really hungry, and after taking it, they ate and drank voraciously.

After filling their stomachs, Yue Le and Fei Yanggu stood up again and began to look around this deserted town. After a while, they passed through the town and arrived at the riverside wharf north of the town.It turns out that this town is not surrounded by walls. There is no wall on the side near the Tuojiang River, but there is a long row of abandoned piers.

And there is also a small pier on the other side of the Tuojiang River, and there are two small boats parked on the pier!
"There is a boat!" Fei Yanggu shouted in surprise.

"Where did the boat come from? Could it be..." Yue Le felt a little strange, looking around while talking to himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something, and he was stuck there, unable to say anything.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Fei Yanggu asked with concern.

"There, there." Prince An Yue Le raised his finger and pointed at the black smoke rising in the sky ahead, "That's the direction of Fushun County, something happened in Fushun County!"

"No, can't it?" Fei Yanggu's heart skipped a beat, "The King of Shuncheng has [-] elite soldiers in his hands, and the natural dangers of Rongxi and Tuojiang River to rely on, so he can retreat safely no matter what. By the way, now this The black smoke must have come from Prince Shuncheng who burned the city and retreated."

"Impossible," Prince An shook his head again and again, his face ashen ashes, "withdraw and withdraw, why burn the city? It's just a dilapidated empty city with few people, who cares if it burns or not? Something must have happened in Fushun County, maybe Wu Sangui soldiers already"

As soon as he said this, there was a sound of "dede" horseshoes in his ears, and then an exasperated shout: "My lord, the deputy governor, something is wrong! Rebel reinforcements have arrived. There are one or two thousand infantrymen , with two cannon."

"What?" Fei Yanggu was shocked, "How did you come so fast?"

"Vice Chief, I don't know why they came here so quickly." The guard shook his head, "You and the prince should make up their minds, the rebels will attack soon!"

"Boom! Boom!"

really fast!

As soon as the guard finished speaking, the Wu soldiers outside the city were already firing!

Fei Yanggu turned around, and said to Yue Le with a sad face: "My lord, I will take someone to support me for a while, hurry up and cross the river!"

Yue Le, on the other hand, was ashen-faced, with an expression of letting go of everything. He didn't say anything, but just watched Fei Yanggu run towards the south gate of the town with a waist knife in his hand.When Fei Yanggu walked away, he sighed, then turned around, knelt down facing the northeast, kowtowed three times, wept, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my servant Yue Le is sorry for you, and I am sorry for Da Qing."

After saying this, Yue Le got up suddenly and rushed towards the river outside the pier. With a plop, he plunged into the Tuojiang River.

This time, the two palace guards who were looking at him were stupefied, and they hurriedly shouted: "Come on, the prince jumped into the river!"

The two palace guards also know how to swim. After yelling twice, they also took off their coats, plopped into the water, and tried their best to "plan" (dog-planing swimming style) towards Yue Le who was thumping in the river, and soon He swam to Yue Le's side and grabbed Yue Le's jacket.But Yue Le really wanted to be a drowned ghost right now, struggling and refusing to go back with them.And the water skills of the two palace guards are obviously not as good as Yue Le, and there is no way to get Yue Le back.As a result, the three of them thumped and drifted towards the center of the river along the current.

Now the two guards who were going to fish for Yue Le were completely flustered. Their water skills are not very good. They can handle the small rivers and streams in the north. , the water quality is better than the two of them, the unlucky prince, what should we do?

When I was in a hurry, a small boat suddenly came up on the water, and there was a shout on the boat: "Don't panic, don't panic, grab the bamboo poles, and I will fish you up!"

The two guards hurriedly followed the sound and found that a small boat had arrived in front of them at some point. There were only three people on board, two of them were rowing, a shirtless strong man was holding a long bamboo pole and shouting, and two of them were rowing. The guards all knew that strong man, it was Wang Zhongxiao who helped the little emperor drive away Grand Master Ao Bai Ao.

The two guards hurriedly shouted: "Guard Wang, the prince has drowned! Save the prince!"

"What? Your lord? Which lord?" Wang Zhongxiao was shocked when he heard this.

He was actually here on purpose to wait to save someone—he's a little guilty now!He killed so many people in Kang Mazi!Kang Mazi's thoughts were so deep, he must have thought that there was a spy inside him!Now that some people are taken back, most of the suspicion can be cleared away.

But he never expected that the first time he acted as a good person, he would catch a prince who committed suicide by throwing himself into the water?I don't know who this prince is?Could it be Yue Le?

"It's Prince An! It's Prince An. Please save the prince, the prince is dying!"

It's almost overwhelmed?
Wang Zhongxiao was taken aback, and before he could react, the man behind him who was helping him row the boat had already opened his throat and shouted: "Wang Shiwei, please save the prince quickly, my lord, if you hold on for a while, Wang Shiwei will come to rescue you immediately." Already!"

This guy will be a good guy!

But Wang Zhongxiao couldn't be a villain at this time, and it was good to scoop up Yue Le. With this "credit", it was impossible for Kang Mazi to suspect that he was colluding with Wu Sangui.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao dropped the bamboo pole and jumped into the Tuojiang River with a plop.His water skills are much better than those two guards!And Yue Le tossed in the water for a while, but couldn't move anymore, so he was easily picked up by Wang Zhongxiao.

When Yue Le was taken into the small wooden boat with the joint efforts of that relative and Wang Zhongxiao, he had already thought about it. He didn't want to die for the time being, and he also thought of Fei Yanggu, so he coughed (choked on water) and said to Wang Zhongxiao, that Said personally: "Hurry up, hurry up and save Feiyang, there are more than 1000 Eight Banners disciples in the town on the south bank of Gutuo River, and it will be attacked by rebels soon!"

Wang Zhongxiao turned his head and looked towards Anxi Town. The pier where Yue Le jumped into the river just now was already crowded with shirtless men copying guys. A small wooden boat had already leaned on it—this small wooden boat was Li Tian. Yu and Lu Sanhao drove over to pick them up!Wang Zhongxiao is not the only one who wants to cleanse himself by saving people.

These shirtless men on the pier are Eight Banners soldiers who escaped along with Yue Le and Fei Yanggu. Before that, Fei Yanggu planned to take them to guard the city gate, but when the news of "the prince jumped into the river" spread , Fei Yanggu's barely put together defense line immediately collapsed, and everyone flocked to the pier—it's important to save the prince!

When they got to the edge of the pier, these people found two small wooden boats coming!

And two of the wooden boats also had two civil servants from the Qing Dynasty. This is a life-saving boat!
Now no one is in the mood to fight Wu Bing desperately, they all want to squeeze into the two boats, the pier is in a mess, Li Tianyu and Lu Sanhao are also frightened when they see this scene, they dare not let the boats get closer, for fear of being small The small wooden boat was overwhelmed by people.

On the south side of the wharf, a brigade of heavily armed "Red Turban Wu Soldiers" was rearranging their formation and was about to attack.

The pier was already in chaos, and suddenly there was a clear gunshot, and everyone was shocked. The originally noisy pier suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw an unusually tall and strong man holding a pistol in one hand. Short gun, holding a simple knife in one hand, standing there glaring, it was Fei Yanggu.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fei Yanggu shouted angrily again: "Don't get on the boat one by one!"

Then he strode to the edge of the pier, punched the bluestone board of the wharf with a simple knife, stared at the big guy with wide eyes, "Those who have horses can cross the river by their tails. You can cross now! The official who has no horses rolls the roll, and those who are called get on the boat, who the hell dares to rush to board the boat, the official's sword will not recognize anyone!

For those who can’t be named, I will just take you to swim across a small river. It’s no problem for us Eight Banners disciples! "

Not to mention, this guy is really deterrent. With just one shot, one knife, one anger, and one encouragement, no one dared to do anything wrong, and the order on the pier was restored immediately.

What's more, his arrangements were very orderly. Some of the Eight Banners soldiers who had not forgotten to lead their horses when they were chased by Wu Bing didn't wait to get on the boat.

The others were waiting for Fei Yanggu to roll their names, and the order was okay.

Wang Zhongxiao watched this scene from a distance, thinking in his heart: The current Eight Banners disciples are only partly rotten, not completely rotten.After entering Beijing, the middle and lower classes of the Eight Banners lay down flat, and those who walked through the door, although not to the point of being corroded by foreign medicines into a puddle of mud, were indeed embarrassing and useless.But in the upper middle class of the Eight Banners, there are still some characters!This Fei Yanggu is one of them. He was a famous general in the original history, right?
At this time, Fei Yanggu had already started to roll the names one by one—he might not know all the people gathered on the pier, but he would call those who knew by name, and point to those who did not.The ones he picked out looked stronger and younger, and he first picked seventeen or eight people to squeeze into the boat of Li Tianyu and Lu Sanhao.

After Li Tianyu and Lu Sanhao's boat left, the boat that Wang Zhongxiao was in also leaned on it. Fei Yanggu ordered 13 people to board the boat, and wanted to get others on board, but was stopped by Wang Zhongxiao: "Fei Yanggu Vice President, there is only one seat left!"

The wooden boat was as big as Lu Sanhao's boat, but Yue Le and his two guards were already on board.

Fei Yanggu said with a smile: "It's just a Tuojiang River. Can't a good man swim across it?"

Wang Zhongxiao laughed loudly when he heard the words, and got off the boat, grabbed two small bannermen and threw them on top, before waving his hand to let the boat leave quickly.

Fei Yanggu smiled, and provoked Thumbs up: "It's good, let's compete together?"

"Okay!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "Let's see who gets to the other side first!"

"Qing Tian is dead, Zhou Tian should be established"

Wu Bing has already started shouting slogans, and he is about to kill him soon!
Fei Yanggu opened his throat and shouted: "The disciples of the Eight Banners have heard it, let's swim together. It's just such a small ditch, how can we not swim through it? The one who swims over is a hero. When we return to Beijing, we will swim together. Invite you to drink flower wine in Bada Hutong!"

What he said was simple, but in fact it is the rainy season, the water surface of the Tuojiang River is very wide, and the current is fast. Anyone who can swim across is definitely a good player!Now two-thirds of the Eight Banners gathered on the bank of the Tuojiang River can swim across, which is considered too much.

However, these Eight Banners disciples were still inspired by Fei Yanggu.

"it is good!"

"Swim over!"

"It's just a small ditch!"

"Yes, we Eight Banners disciples are not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire!"

While the Eight Banners disciples were yelling, they began to plop the ground water, while Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said to Fei Yang: "You swim first, I will wait for you on the other side!"

"Hehe, I can swim so fast!" Fei Yanggu laughed, then plunged into the water and swam forward like a bullfrog.

Wang Zhongxiao turned his head to look at the group of red-headed Wu soldiers. They were wearing the general flag with the word "king" and an admiral's flag. They should be the team of Wu Sangui's general Wang Pingfan.Wang Zhongxiao and Wang Pingfan are quite familiar, but now is not the time to say hello.

So he turned his head, plunged into the water, swung his arms, and performed the "stunt" of freestyle swimming (this swimming style no one else can do now), flying like swimming across the Tuojiang River.
