Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 200: King Qin's Master is Overwhelmed (Part [-])

Although Zhu Yousong's beheading operation was successful, he was trapped by Liu Zeqing's henchmen near the gate of Dongpingbo's Mansion in Huai'an City. After a night of fierce fighting, his thousands of soldiers were scattered, and only a dozen escorts remained in front of him. By.

Even so, it was not easy for them to capture or kill Zhu Yousong.With Zhu Yousong's skills, it is not difficult to get away alone, because this is not a battlefield in the wild, and he can temporarily take shelter in the buildings and houses in the city, but he is reluctant to throw away Liu Zhaoji, Zheng Longfang, Li Quan and other soldiers. Now, he is even more unwilling to let this cutting of feudal lords come to an end easily. Although Liu Zeqing is dead, Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang have become like the second and third Liu Zeqing.

But how to get out of the immediate predicament?

At this moment, two earth-shattering cannon shots revived Zhu Yousong's exhausted spirit.

It is early in the morning, and the sound of two cannons far overwhelmed the sounds of the battlefield, such as the shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire. Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang could hear it clearly when they were sitting on their horses. Such loud cannons obviously did not come from them. The battlefield where the two commanded, the cannons here have long since withdrawn from the stage of this great war, and the front is a close-range encirclement and annihilation battle.

The second general was about to send someone to find out where the cannon was fired, when a small school came galloping up from the south, got off his saddle and knelt down to report, "My lord, a team of troops came from outside the city and threatened to attack the city to rescue him."

"Where are the soldiers and horses? Who is the commander?" The second general was taken aback.

"Mr. Hui, they belong to the Green Willow Villa. The leader is Jia Zhaoxiong, the owner of the villa. They said they surrendered to the court and came to Qin Wang to rescue him."

"These bandits use tiger skin as a banner, and they come to seek death?" Feng Zhishan scolded contemptuously, "Ignore them for now, and order Mr. Du to guard the city, and deal with these bandits after I catch the faint king. .”

The junior officer who reported the incident agreed to get on his horse and leave, and General Yao Wenchang asked him, "Where was the cannon shot just now?"

This time, the little principal who reported the incident was questioned. He was on the road when the cannon was fired, and he didn't know where the cannon was fired, so he replied indiscriminately: "I don't know, maybe it was Mr. Du from Nancheng who fired the cannon at the bandits." .”

This kind of nonsense of the small school, the second general Feng Yao also agrees.

The little school Pegasus sent an order to the south gate again. The little school had just left when another little school Pegasus arrived, got off his horse, and said in a panic, "Report to Master... It’s not good...they’ve gotten in!”

"What are you going to say?" Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang asked impatiently.

After the junior officer wiped the sweat off his face and briefly described the battle at the South Gate, the second general was stunned, and then shouted in disbelief: "You said that there are cannons in the Green Willow Villa? How is that possible? They are here!" How many people?"

"Overwhelming, boundless, and the exact number is unknown. Only two cannons blasted the city gate into the sky. Now the south gate has been lost. Du Zongbing died in battle, and the thieves have already come in. Hurry up and decide!"

As soon as the small school finished speaking, earth-shattering shouts of killing came from far and near.

Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang had no choice but to believe what the little school said, but they had to catch or kill the stupid king, and they must not give up halfway. The second general immediately made a decision, and the general Yao Wenchang led his troops to stop the gang from the Green Willow Villa Bandits, in their impression, these bandits and grassroots bandits numbered in the thousands, so they couldn't possibly be the imperial court's brigade. As for their heavy artillery, they should have snatched one or two guns from the officers and soldiers. In fear, Yao Wenchang led a team to stop the battle for a while, and the battle here was over.

Yao Wenchang agreed, but his men and horses had not yet been mobilized, and several fast horses came flying like arrows from different streets one after another.

"Report to the Master, a team of troops is coming from the direction of Sizhou, under the banner of Huang Chuangzi, the total strength is no less than [-], and it is less than a hundred miles away from Huai'an."

"Report to the general, a team of about 150 people came from Xuzhou to fight under the banner of Zhang Jie, the commander-in-chief of Huang Chuangzi, about [-] miles away from the Huai River."

"Report to the general, a group of troops came from Kaifeng, with a strength of about [-]. The leaders were Lu Jiude from the admiral Dongchang and Yuan Shu from Henan, less than [-] miles away from here."

"Report to the general, there are also troops coming from the direction of Yangzhou, less than 3 miles away, about [-] people, it is the banner of Chen Xiance, the general under Huang Chuangzi's command."

"Report to the general, the Zhenjiang defenders have also come to kill, about 1 horses, and the leader is the new Zhenjiang general Huang Shucheng."

The five scouts were like a series of cannonballs. This time, the two generals Feng and Yao were stunned. The crowds of these people rushed in, roughly adding up to a total of about 20 troops, and the distance of so many troops was only one or two hundred miles away. The closest distance is only a few tens of miles, which is not a distance at all. If it is a cavalry team, it can be reached within a meal, even if it is an infantry, it can be reached within a few hours, and these directions are two The generals are too familiar, distributed in the north, west, north and south of Huai'an, leaving only the east for them to jump into the sea!

This is terrible!

The second general immediately had a premonition that disaster was coming. Although there were still 2 horses outside Huai'an City, plus tens of thousands of horses in the city, how could they resist the enemy's 20 imperial army?
The second general was desperately trying to think of a way, but there was nothing he could do, because the people from the Green Willow Villa were about to kill them, and they didn't have much time to think about it. They were reluctant to retreat, because Zhu Yousong and his subjects , It's like eating fat on the edge of your mouth, but now you have to give up, this feeling is very uncomfortable.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Finally, Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang gritted their teeth and gave such an order.

However, it is not a matter of tens of thousands of people wanting to retreat. From passing orders to receiving orders, from attack to retreat, from the front team to the rear team, it will take time.Where to retreat? Of course, they rushed to the nearest north gate. They planned to set off from the north gate, abandon the city and flee, and go to Dongshan to find the Tartars.

As a result, when these Huaian soldiers were retreating, He Zhaoxiong led his troops and killed them.In front are He Zhaoxiong's Shanzhuang soldiers, and behind are thousands of Huaian soldiers and Suzhou soldiers who have just surrendered to the imperial court led by two copycat beauties.

Seven to eight thousand people are in full swing, filling the streets and alleys, shouting like raging waves, overwhelming the sky.

However, Feng Zhishan and Yao Wenchang's troops had no fighting spirit, panicked, and would collapse at the first touch, or flee without fighting. He Zhaoxiong commanded the troops to pursue and fight fiercely, without giving the opponent a chance to fight back.

Zhu Yousong's dozens of soldiers suddenly regained their spirits. Not only did they break the siege, but they also joined forces with the generals who rushed to King Qin's rescue to hunt down the Panjun in Huai'an.

Seeing that Zhu Yousong was safe and sound, He Zhaoxiong and others felt relieved. The old man came over to give Zhu Yousong the gift of a monarch and minister. Zhu Yousong pulled him up and happily explained the battle situation here. He Zhaoxiong told him He held out his thumb and left a team for Li Quan to escort. He, Liu Zhaoji and Zheng Longfang commanded the team to continue chasing and annihilating the Pan army.

Zhu Yousong was looking for someone behind He Zhaoxiong when suddenly two beautiful shadows came into his sight.
