Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 219 The enemy is at the Qinhuai River! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"Shang Zhixin is here to kill Duo Long, who dares to fight to the death, wow!"

Shang Zhixin opened his throat and yelled wildly, while dancers with spears rushed back and forth among the Qing army crowd outside Wuhu City, it was really like entering a deserted land.And the more than 100 Shang family cavalry who followed him had originally entered the battle with great hatred for the Manchu Dynasty and the determination to die. Now seeing Shang Zhixin as fierce as a tiger entering a flock of sheep, they all turned into fierce tigers descending the mountain Usually, riding a war horse, screaming and rushing into the crowd, you almost jump on and bite people.

These are more than 100 armored spearmen!

Moreover, they caught the Qing army by surprise. They were all lying in ambush in Wuhu City or behind the banks of the Changhe River and the Yangtze River. They did not form a spear formation that could resist the cavalry charge, and they did not expect the Geng family (Shang family) cavalry to be so brave. , immediately fell into great chaos.

And where has Doron seen such a battle?Why is this Shang Zhixin more fierce than Obai?When Oboi was captured that day, that Manchurian No. [-] Batulu didn't do the same!And he also yelled about killing him Duolong. How can he talk nonsense when there is no battle?
"Many troops, we can't let Shang Zhixin continue to yell like this!"

When Duolong was not sure what to do, Li Guangdi beside him finally offered a suggestion!
Doron turned his head and gave him a sideways glance: "I also know that I can't let him yell, but he won't listen to me!"

"Zhijun, you should show up and take command!" Li Guangdi said loudly, "Our people lying outside the city were caught off guard by the surname Shang, and leader Mang Xie couldn't control the team for a while. Crossing the pontoon bridge, the consequences will be disastrous!"

As he spoke, Li Guangdi raised his hand and pointed at the [-] Geng troops who were rushing along the official road on the south bank of the Changhe River!

Duolong looked in the direction of his finger, it was okay if he didn't look, but when he looked, his hairs stood on end.He only saw the battalion of fully armed Geng Army infantry, scrambling to the pontoon bridge on the long river. They didn't look like they came to fight the battlefield, but they seemed to come to pick up money. There are four thousand and eight banner soldiers here in Wuhu ah!So vulnerable in their eyes?
When Duolong was stunned, Li Guangdi had already reacted, and shouted loudly to Duolong's Goshhas: "Help the Duozhi Army to stand up quickly. Hurry up and erect the Duozhi Army's festival flags and recognition flags! Hurry up and shout with me: the multi-control army is here! The rebels are going rampant!"

Among the Ghoshha under Duolong, there were still a few people who knew the situation was critical, and before the frightened Duolong could react, they rushed up to straighten his lying body, and stood up again. Duolong's recognition flag and Governor's Day flag, and then a group of Goshha shouted together: "The multi-control army is here! The rebels are rampant!"

Now the Eight Banners soldiers who had ambushed and beaten themselves outside Wuhu City finally came over a bit later. It turned out that Duolong, a corrupt official, was not hacked to death by Shang Zhixin, and he didn't even run away.He seems to be quite calm, and he can still be supported to stand on the city wall. I don't know if he fell off his horse and hurt his legs and feet when Monk Zhixin fought against each other just now?
Shang Zhixin was rampaging among the Qing army, and he suddenly heard "the Duozhi army is here", he followed the sound and found Duolong too!

Duolong was originally hiding on the city wall. How to fight this?The war horse can't rush up!Shang Zhixin thought for a while: Oh, yes, I have learned archery!

Shang Zhixin remembered that he could also shoot arrows, so he quickly carried his carbine on his shoulder (the carbine is tied with a rope, so he can carry it on his back), and then rode his horse towards the city wall while taking out his bow and arrow. An arrow, aiming at Duolong is an arrow, right in the heart of Duolong!

Duolong only felt something hit his chest. When he looked down, he suddenly found a feathered arrow hanging on his official uniform. He was so frightened that his crotch was warm and wet, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.There is only one thought in my mind: It's over!An arrow pierced the heart and was shot to death!

Thinking of being shot dead, Duolong suddenly lost the strength to run away and call for help. If it wasn't for someone to support him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

However, Duolong, who was shot by an arrow, neither cried nor ran, and stood there like a normal person. His festival flag and recognition flag were still fluttering in the wind, which actually encouraged the morale of some Eight Banners soldiers in the city— ——This Duolong looks like a "bear", but he didn't expect that he was still a bit of a general at the critical moment. He was shot as a target, and he was calm and unafraid!
Shang Zhixin saw that Duolong's arrow survived, so he knew that this guy must be wearing armor under his official uniform, probably more than one layer!So it's not okay to shoot in the body, you have to shoot in the face!This is called shooting the face first!

Thinking of this, he pulled out another feathered arrow, and shot it at Duolong's big face. Missed!

Although Duolong's face is quite big, it is much smaller than his body.Moreover, Shang Zhixin's archery skills are actually not very good. It is not at the same level as Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao's "Lv Bu". The arrow that hit Duolong's body just now was also fooled. Maybe it's over.Even a few arrows missed!

The cavalry of the Shang family who followed Shang Zhixin saw that their master didn't even shoot Duolong with a few arrows, and they were a little anxious, so they all took out their bows and arrows to help Shang Zhixin shoot together.

For a while, it was really a bit like a rain of arrows!

And Duolong is already "dead", and "dead people" can't move, and they won't be afraid of death, so he just stood stiffly for Shang Zhixin and others to continue shooting.

But those archers didn't seem to be very accurate. They shot dozens of arrows at Duolong, but none of them hit Duolong's big face.

However, Duolong's behavior of "many dead people" not afraid of death greatly encouraged the messy Eight Banners soldiers under the city wall.Immediately, a large group of people rekindled their fighting spirit, and rushed towards Shang Zhixin who was wandering around under the city wall while shooting arrows.

And Goshha of Duolong also reacted at this time, and also picked up a bow and arrow and shot at Shang Zhixin and others under the city.

Up and down the city, arrows came and went, making it a scene of excitement, but it didn't cause many casualties.

On the one hand, the people on both sides are not very accurate in shooting arrows, and on the other hand, both sides are wearing armor.So you come and go, just shoot a lonely.On the contrary, a few war horses that the Shang family rode were not wearing armor, and the arrow clusters shot down from the top of the city pierced into their flesh, and they let out screams.

Facing the whizzing arrowheads and horses being hit by arrows from time to time, Shang Zhixin didn't dare to approach the city wall to shoot Duolong anymore, so he had to put away his bow and arrow and wanted to continue to attack the Qing army's infantry.But at this time, several "groups" were already pressing towards him with long spears.

Although it wasn't a spear formation, Shang Zhixin still didn't dare to rush up, so he had to lead his cavalry to bypass these "groups" of pikemen, and this detour lost the momentum.

While Shang Zhixin led his men to shoot arrows close to the city wall and walk around the Qing army's "long spear group", the chaotic Qing army ambush on the north bank of the Changhe River also slowed down, and began to form a phalanx that could fight against the cavalry. And the ambush soldiers in Wuhu City also rushed out of Wuhu City carrying long spears and muskets, pushing mother and child cannons.

Of course, the Jiangning garrison flag army also had a cavalry team. They also hid in Wuhu City. They were originally intended to hunt down and kill the Geng army who had fled when they were ambushed, but now they also rushed out together.

Now Shang Zhixin and the others are in a hard fight. After all, they only have more than 100 riders, while the Qing army on Wuhu has more than [-] people!
But Shang Zhixin and the others also went all out, and didn't even think about escaping, they just rushed left and right on the north bank of the Changhe River.Although the Qing army was superior in number, they turned the ambush into a surprise attack, and the scattered troops fell into chaos. They were just fighting on their own, and it was difficult to form a joint force, so they couldn't win Shang Zhixin's more than a hundred cavalry for a while. .

And when the battle on the north bank of the Changhe River seemed to be going on for a while, Liu Jinzhong had already commanded [-] Geng troops to rush to the edge of the Changhe pontoon bridge!

Mang Yitu, who had gathered around 500 people, had been keeping an eye on the situation on the floating bridge of the Changhe River. Now seeing that the enemy brigade was about to rush over, he had to give orders to the Qing army who had not yet stabilized below—quickly retreat into Wuhu City!

At the same time, let's rush to the south bank of the Changhe pontoon bridge with your men to resist to some extent!

The fierce battle between the two sides is about to start on the north bank of the long bridge!
On Liu Jinzhong's side, it was not his old troops who led the battle, but the [-] Xushun Duke's Banner Army led by Shang Shuying and Deng Guangming, and Deng Guangming's nephew Deng Zhong who led the charge with [-] cavalry!

I saw him, like Shang Zhixin, wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, he rushed across the long bridge first, and crashed into the infantry of the Qing army, and then his cavalry stepped up without hesitation!
These were a little afraid of the Jiangning Banner Army, but it was obviously not the Banner Army lying in ambush outside Wuhu City, but the weak Jiangnan Green Camp—all wearing green camp uniforms!Moreover, the ambush of two or 3000 people was rushed into a mess by Shang Zhixin with more than 100 riders. This is a "weak chicken"!

Then what are you afraid of?That's it!

Mang Yitu also got on the horse at this time, carrying a long gun and led a group of soldiers to push up, and fought with Deng Zhong, it was inseparable!

Not long after the two sides fought, Shang Shuying and Deng Guangming had rushed up with troops. This is a small 800 people, of which [-] are cavalry, and the rest are infantry in heavy armor. They are extremely capable of hand-to-hand combat. Now it's another battle with the wind, and their wife is still leading the charge in person. Naturally, everyone is brave, and soon the Qing army is forced to retreat steadily, and they are about to seize the bridgehead.

Mang Yitu also knew that the pontoon bridge must never be lost, so while resisting Deng Zhong, a fierce general, he shouted to the left and right: "Hurry up, hurry up and call for help."

But what answered him was a piercing gong: "Dangdangdang!"

Ming Jin withdraws troops!

The voice came from behind Mang Yitu. Duolong actually gave the order to retreat!
Mang Yitu had the intention of hacking Duolong to death, but when the other Qing soldiers heard the sound of the gong, they rushed towards the gate of Wuhu City like the ebb tide.Mang Yitu had no choice but to lead the soldiers and fight while retreating. Finally, relying on four legs to retreat faster than two legs, he rushed into Wuhu City. After entering the city, he immediately got off his horse and galloped Go up the city wall, follow Duolong's recognition flag, and find Duolong who has been protected by the rattan corps.

Seeing Duo Long, who was pale and smelled of urine, Mang Yitu didn't get angry, and didn't care about the dignity of the officialdom, he just asked loudly: "Why do you want to withdraw the troops?"

Duolong didn't argue with him, but just raised a trembling arm, pointed to the north, and said tremblingly: "You, see for yourself."

Mang Yitu looked in the direction of Duolong's finger, and his color changed drastically.

He could only see smoke and dust in the sky in the north, obviously there was a large group of people coming towards Wuhu!

"This is. This is the governor of Liangjiang and the training of the Jiangning regiment?"

"Not at all," said Li Guangtun, who was with Duolong, "Geng Jingzhong's [-] troops circled to the north of Wuhu Lake. They had no choice but to come to Wuhu, and Geng Jingzhong's men followed. Commander Mang Xie, what should we do now?"

"Now."

As soon as Mang Yitu opened his mouth, there was a burst of earth-shattering cheers in the south of Wuhu City: "Win! Win!"

Mang Yitu turned his head to look, and found that the infantry of Geng's army wrapped in red cloth at the head of the brigade had already crossed the pontoon bridge and drove to the south bank of the Yangtze River!

They obviously also saw the smoke and dust in the sky to the north of Wuhu Lake, and they knew that the Qing army in Wuhu had already been attacked!

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Mang Yitu said, "Ejunmen still has a thousand banner troops under his command, more than 1000 army commanders, your supervisor, a 1000-man Jiangning garrison, and two thousand Jiangning regiments. The Eight Banners in the city should There can still be 1000 people, a total of [-] troops, which can still be defended.

In addition, Wuhu is close to the Yangtze River, and the pier is just outside the west gate, so it will not be surrounded!We can send someone to ask Kang Wang in Jiujiang for help, and then send a letter to Shi Junmen in Guazhou, asking him to lead a navy ship to Wuhu to pick us up. "

Duolong nodded blankly: "That's the only way."

Jiangning is full of cities, and Jiangning is stationed in the general's office.

Jiang Ning General Er Chu received the urgent military report sent by the magistrate of Taiping Prefecture. He was completely dumbfounded. He just sat in his lobby and kept asking the people below: "Enemy, where is the enemy? Where is the enemy?" ?”

A deputy commander of the Jiangning Banner Army replied sweating profusely: "General, the enemy is still far away, and the enemy is still in Wuhu. The multi-control army has 1 people, and it is not so easy to be wiped out."

Echu, who was already old, with gray beard and braids, sighed, shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have asked Xiaoduozi (Duolong) to send troops, I should have gone in person, I was looking at Xiaoduozi When he grows up, he is completely different from his Ama, he is not made to lead soldiers to fight! Woohoo"

The old man was crying!
This old man is an "old villain" who followed Dorgon from outside the customs. When Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition hit Nanjing, he also led troops from Jingzhou to support him and defeated Zheng Chenggong. He was a ruthless man who could fight.

But ruthless people also grow old!
However, contrary to the expectations of Er Chu and his subordinates, their real enemy is not in Wuhu, but on the Qinhuai River!

Yes, it is on the Qinhuai River with ten miles of fireworks!

On an extremely luxuriously decorated painting boat, accompanied by beauties, was about to enter the water gate of Jiangning City.

Because Jiangning City is now on high alert, guard posts have been added to the water gate, and ships entering and leaving must be inspected.

A foreign commissioner of the Jiangning garrison battalion led two small soldiers onto the boat that was riding on the most dangerous enemy of the Qing Dynasty, the Third Prince Zhu.I saw three men dressed as military officers sitting in the painting boat, each accompanied by beauties, drinking wine and listening to music.One of them was a member of the second rank, accompanied by a rather delicate beauty with a touch of immortality.

The other two are sixth-rank officials, and one is accompanied by a pretty little beauty, who is playing the piano and singing at the same time, one can tell it is a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River.There is also a sixth-rank official who is a handsome young man in his twenties, with a very enchanting and graceful "big beauty" in his arms. He seems to have drunk a few more drinks and is a little drunk. Touch it.And the woman wasn't angry, she just giggled and didn't know which brothel?Several people who guarded the city camp in Jiangning were drooling.

The sixth-rank military officer, who seemed to have had a few extra drinks, became angry when he saw someone intruding: "Bastard, who are you? How dare you disturb Chen Zongrong to listen to the song. Do you know who he is?" ? He is Chen Zongbing of the Sea Road Aid and Suppression Town, and an old friend of the Liangjiang Duozhi Army! This time he is here to send the United States to the Duozhi Army."

"Hmm!" Chen Zongbing, that is, Chen Yonghua coughed, "Zhongshan, don't talk nonsense and just send it away!"

"Hey!" The young military officer called "Zhongshan" by Chen Yonghua staggered to his feet with the support of the "big" beauty, then swaggered to the head of the foreign commissioner, took out a waist card and handed it over.

The Foreign Affairs Commissioner took the waist card and looked at it, and it was impressively engraved with the words "Aid to Suppress Chief Li Qian of the Navy".
