Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 106

Among the influential figures in the late Ming Dynasty, there are many controversial figures, the city defenders who are determined to surrender, and there are also vassal ministers who are only profit-seeking. One of the more typical ones is the notorious and famous one. Raising the butcher knife wantonly, his hands were stained with the blood of the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, but Li Chengdong, a loyal man of the late Ming Dynasty, was not lost.

For the vanguard of Yangzhou Ten Days, the first executioner of the Jiading Santu, the general who wiped out the two emperors and turned against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty, the evaluation of him by later generations is capricious and extremely complicated. The confidante Wu Sangui has gone too far.

Li Chengdong was originally the same as Gao Jie. He was born as a thief, and later became a fierce general of the peasant rebel army Li Chuang Wangmo.Then the Qing Dynasty came down, and then the Ming Dynasty came down again.

This Xuzhou general who is good at turning around gorgeously in history, turning his face faster than spreading pancakes, is currently supervising [-] troops to leave Xuzhou for Fengyang.Because two days ago, he received an order from Xingping Bo Gaojie, Huang Degong suddenly sent troops to Fengyang and ordered him to lead his troops to rescue the siege.

Li Chengdong did not dare to neglect, so he left 36 soldiers to let his younger brother Li Chengliang be in charge of defending the city, and asked General Gao Jinku to lead [-] troops as the vanguard. Wan Junma also brought [-] heavy artillery as backup and drove to Fengyang in a mighty manner.

Gao Jinku's vanguard did not dare to move forward when they were twenty miles away from Fengyang, because he could see Huang Degong's company from the slope of the horse, and the banner of Uncle Xingping was still flying above the city of Fengyang in the distance. Banner, Gao Jinku ordered 3000 troops to find a favorable location to stop first, while sending scouts to inquire about news about Huang Degong's department and the city, while waiting for backup troops.

The next day, Li Chengdong's brigade arrived. Seeing that Fengyang City was safe and sound, Li Chengdong was relieved, and he was not too late. He joined the vanguard battalion, and a total of 4000 troops marched about ten miles away from Huang Degong's company camp. Under the camp.

For tens of thousands of people, ten miles is a close distance, and there is a possibility of misfire at any time.

The reason why Li Chengdong didn't dare to start the battle rashly was because he knew Huang Chuangzi's prestige, and the opponent had 2 troops. He only had more than [-] people, and he had no chance of winning if he fought hard. He needed a strategy to solve the siege of Fengyang. Internal and external cooperation is the first choice, but it undoubtedly takes time.

He counted the days, Gao Jie's men and horses should arrive soon, as well as Sizhou soldiers, when the three of them use troops against Huang Chuangzi, if the Fengyang defenders break out from the city, Huang Chuangzi will undoubtedly be defeated.

Li Chengdong set his sights farther away, he had guessed Gao Jie's thoughts, this time he was so mobilizing, it must not only be to understand the danger of Fengyang, Huang Degong came to attack without reason, can Gao Jie let him go?The two armies will inevitably have a big battle. If Huang Degong can be defeated in the battle of Fengyang, Chuzhou and Zhou will naturally be their trophies. They all have to look up to them, and the emperor has to look at their uncle Gao Jie's face, and their waists will be straighter in the future.

But what made him uneasy was that there was no news from Yangzhou, and there was no sign of soldiers from Sizhou. Calculating the time, the two groups of people should have arrived. Could it be that something unexpected happened?Hurry up and send scouts to inquire about Yangzhou and Sizhou.

After waiting for another day, the news from Yangzhou and Sizhou did not come. The scouts sent him an equally exciting news.

As soon as Li Chengdong heard that, his eyes flashed with beating sparks. How dare he come to trap Fengyang with such a small number of people?It is said that Huang Chuangzi has no less than [-] troops, and what are the rest doing? They should still be in the land of Chuhe. Their defense zone is right under the eyes of the court. It is taboo for Huang Chuangzi to use large-scale troops without the emperor's order, but This is just his imagination, and he doesn't know the truth, but this is not important. The important thing is that Huang Chuangzi's troops should not be able to take down the strong city, but it would be a pity to withdraw like this. Consumed until now.

That being the case, what are I, Li Chengdong, waiting for? I have brought more than 2 troops, and there are [-] defenders in the city. It is more than enough to defeat Huang Chuangzi in one fell swoop. It's over, and at the same time that I have made great contributions, let my uncle see who I am, Li Chengdong!

Li Chengdong is not only ambitious, but also a person with brains. At present, he knows nothing about Chuzhou, Yangzhou and Sizhou.I thought so, and then made such a decision.

Immediately convene all the generals to discuss the specific matter of breaking Huang Chuangzi. General Gao Jinku advocated sending people to the camp first to get in touch with the defenders in the city, set a time and then cooperate internally and externally to solve the siege of Fengyang in one fell swoop.

Before Li Chengdong could express his opinion, General Li Benshen pouted his mouth and shook his head like a rattle. If there were no ears to block his mouth, his mouth would be on the back of his head. As soon as Gao Jinku finished speaking, he stood up with a cold snort, " Is it necessary to break into some kind of battalion? If there are only 3 people in the area, we will kill them directly. If Li Zhi (the Fengyang guard general appointed by Gao Jie temporarily) is not a pig head, he will be able to conclude that we have killed people outside the city. If something happens, then bring people and horses out of the city, Huang Chuangzi will definitely break it."

Because he is Gao Jie's nephew, Li Benshen has always been domineering and arrogant in the army. ugly.

All the generals are used to it, so of course they dare not disobey him, including Xuzhou Marshal Li Chengdong, they also give him a little face, in fact, it is to give Gao Jie face, in fact, Li Benshen is not above [-] or below [-] in his thesis. , exactly one two hundred and five.

Because his attention is likely to be useless, and letting him lead troops to fight has not done much good except for wounding soldiers and generals. Li Chengdong brought him by his side as a general, which is already enough for him. To put it bluntly, his general is the mule's dick—a display.

But today Li Chengdong agreed with him very much, because his words finally reached Li Chengdong's heart, so he immediately made a decision.

It was the third watch of the night, when people were still sleeping soundly, suddenly the sound of cannons roared and the earth shook.After the shelling, the Huang Degong barracks around Fengyang City were ablaze, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and people shouted and neighed like a boiling pot.

Li Chengdong's 2 men and horses had already been prepared for the charge. Under the light of the torches, his face, with uncertain eyes and unpredictable eyes, was chilling. The glint of prey flickered in his eyes, he raised his big hand high in the air and then smashed it down, and squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Kill!"

Under the night, 2 horses rushed towards Huang Degong's camp like raging waves, howling to the sky...
