Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 723
The sudden change made the minds of many Qing generals in the Qing camp at the foot of the mountain confused.

In fact, the Ming army trapped on the mountain found the beacon smoke from the Qing army's pier earlier than at the foot of the mountain.

In the East Wing, the remnants of the Central Route Army's defeated generals were listening to the emperor's instructions, entrusting them with the final important task, and their hearts were full of despair.

The army has been trapped on the top of the mountain for several days, and most of the wounded soldiers have died of hunger and thirst. Even the healthy soldiers are so hungry that their legs are weak.

Trapped on the mountain, they naturally would not give up their will to survive. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren had organized several breakouts in the past few days, but they were all forced back by the Qing army at the foot of the mountain and ended in failure.

This kind of situation has made many people feel hopeless in their hearts. They have rushed too far, and they have no reinforcements.

But just as the emperor was giving his will, a general barged in, and a voice rang out in the room, "Your Majesty, there are boats on the river, boats from Huguang..."

The whimpering in the room fell silent for a moment, and Jin Shenghuan, who was kneeling beside the dragon bed, jumped up and asked subconsciously, "What ship? Where is the ship?"

Long Wu's cloudy eyes could not help but shed hot tears. Who else could send troops over at this time, except Wang Yan?
The emperor's life is doomed to be a lonely family. When he ascends to this position, he has to be vigilant against all the people in the world, who want to rebel against him and seek his throne. Therefore, the emperor can't have any emotions in his heart. Can give up when necessary.

Cao Mengde said, "It is better to ask me to bear the people of the world, than to let the people of the world bear me." Even Song Taizu also said, "How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch".

This speaks more about the mentality of those in power in the past dynasties, but the emperor is also a human being and has feelings. It is impossible to be hard-hearted all the time. There is always a soft part in the heart, and there are always moments of emotion.

When Longwu was dying, when he heard Huguang's boat coming, he couldn't help but feel throbbing in his heart, "I owe you a lot, but you never owe me..."

For a while, if Long Wu knew that strange method, he would like to borrow his life from the sky, but not too much. He only hoped to see Wang Yan for the last time. The person who rescued him at the critical moment, what is Xinzhong thinking, and solve the knot between the monarch and his ministers.

Long Wu coughed for a while, but the ministers and generals in the room were in a commotion. They couldn't help but stood up for most of the time. When everyone heard the emperor coughing, they realized that they had lost their manners, and the room fell silent again.

At this time, Longwu didn't care about these things, he was already unable to manage, he knew that the war opportunity was fleeting, so he covered his mouth with a white handkerchief with one hand, and waved it quite forcefully with the other, making everyone stand back, and quickly went outside to have a look.

Seeing this, Jin Shenghuan and others were eager to understand the situation, so they hurriedly withdrew.

A group of generals and ministers, hugging the general who reported the letter, rushed out of the wing room.

Behind them, the servant suddenly exclaimed "Your Majesty", and Emperor Longwu fell into a coma again.

After leaving the wing room, Jin Shenghuan asked as he walked, "Where can I see it?"

The general who reported the letter hurriedly walked behind him, "Go out of the temple gate, stand on the top of the mountain, and you can see it!"

Everyone heard the words and strode like flying, they didn't look like people who had been hungry for a few days.

At this time on the top of the mountain, the soldiers who were lying or leaning on had all stood up and crowded towards the west of the mountain top.

When they left the temple gate, they saw crowds of people on the top of the mountain. The soldiers moved to the west with their weapons. Li Yuanyin and others hurried ahead, and they separated a way for the king of Tang, Jin Shenghuan and the ministers, and came to the watchtower.

In order to be able to break through the siege and grasp the movement of the Qing soldiers at the foot of the mountain, the Ming army built a watchtower on the top of the mountain. In fact, it was just a few pieces of wood nailed together, but it was a little higher than the trees on the top of the mountain, so that the view could not be blocked.

Everyone strode to the bottom of the watchtower. The general standing on top saw the team approaching, pointed to the river to the west with one hand, and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, Duzhen, the warship is going down the river, it is Huguang!" Sailor!"

King Tang and Jin Shenghuan heard this, and climbed up quickly. King Tang was alright, and drank some soup. Jin Shengheng walked quickly for a while, and then climbed up to the watchtower. Li Yuanyin had to grab him.

His desire to survive and his belief in bringing more than ten thousand Jiangxi children back to Jiangxi made him stabilize his body, and he hurriedly looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a thick smoke rising into the sky more than 20 miles away. More than ten miles away, a black mountain could be vaguely seen, moving from the west.

The navy of the Qing army was in Zhenjiang and Nanjing, and such a large fleet came down from the upper reaches, except for the Huguang fleet, it could not be the Qing army's ships.

All the people who climbed up to the viewing platform looked to the west one after another. Tang Wang took a binoculars and took a look, his face could not hide his excitement.

No matter what they say in the future, this fleet must come to rescue them now.

Seeing the shadow on the river, Li Yuanyin's excited voice changed, "This must be King Hengyang coming down to save us."

The warship went down the river at a speed comparable to that of a galloping horse. The remnants of the Ming army were on the top of the mountain, and they could see very far. The generals, ministers, and soldiers on the mountain were all excited. Standing up, the generals clenched their fists.

On the top of the mountain, cheers erupted suddenly.

On the east hill, the situation of Wang Deren's tribe is even worse than that of the west hill. Because of the location, the line of sight is blocked by the west hill, so they don't know the situation.

Suddenly they heard a wave of cheers erupting from the mountain in the east, and the sound went up to the sky. The hungry and tired soldiers couldn't help but look up to the west, but they couldn't understand why.

At this moment, a general stumbled among the soldiers who were wading all over the ground, and came to a large stone, and said to a general with disheveled hair, chapped lips, and lowered his head to wipe his sword: "Commander, signal to the west for reinforcements!" coming···"

At the foot of the mountain, in the big tent of the Qing army, Boluo was venting his anger, pacing back and forth in the tent.

The Qing generals in the tent were all flustered, they all knew that the front line of Dashengguan and Jiangning was empty, if Wang Yan was allowed to crash in, the consequences would be disastrous.

Just as if Boluo seized Zhu Yujian, it would have great political significance in damaging the morale of the Ming army, Jiang Ning was also of great significance to the Qing Dynasty. It can even be said that losing Jiang Ning is equivalent to losing Jiang Nan.

At this moment, the cheers from the two mountains were passed down one after another, and finally turned into a majestic and solemn battle song, "Catch the iron armor, carry a long knife. Fight with the son, the road is long. Let the enemy fight together, die and live together. Fight with the son." , the heart is not slack. Step on the swallows, chase the beard. Fight with the son, sing fearlessly..."

Boluo's face sank. This is the Ming army on the mountain. Seeing this desperate situation, there are still friendly troops coming to rescue. Cheering alone can no longer express the emotions in their hearts. They use songs to respond to the friendly troops rushing to help.
