Chapter 289 I'm going to kill the big head, the handsome man is the big head! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"The whole team, the whole team of small spears, rushed over the burnt house and fought them!"

"These traitors want to burn our house and kill our family. Fight them, kill them all, leave no one behind!"

"Kill it."

Near the Taipingli Battlefield in the southwest direction of the Nanjing Imperial City, the first batch of Nanjing Nationalist Army who arrived was forming a spear team under the order of Lu Sanhao. Everyone was extremely nervous but furious, and their fighting spirit was even higher.The tips of the long spears and the blades of the simple knives pointed forward. The sun was falling, and the tips of the guns were glowing coldly, flickering in this winter afternoon.

After the formation of the team was completed, these Chinese soldiers rushed to the still burning streets of Taipingli in groups!

Taiping Lane is also a relatively open long street. It is the main road from the Nanjing Imperial City to the prosperous area along the Qinhuai River in the city. It is the Jiangning regiments of the two battalions led by Jiangning County Magistrate Jing Chuan.

This is the old foundation of Yingtian's army training, and the old regiment training is formed strictly in accordance with the principle of "soldiers are for the generals, and the soldiers follow the generals".From top to bottom, the two battalions are a network of relationships composed of loved ones, relatives and friends, teachers, students and clans. It is conceivable how strong the cohesion of such an army is.And now they are defending their homeland again. There is really no way to retreat. Take a step back. The home is gone!

So these Jiangning regiments fought quite resolutely on the Taipingli battlefield!They did not choose a solid and huge building for defense like Changwei’s Yangzhou Tuanlian and Luo Dawei’s Huaixi Red Scarf. Instead, they placed their troops at the intersection of Taipingli, Zhongzheng Street, and Chongli Street.

The ones who were ordered to attack Taipingli were the "Zhexi soldiers" brought by Fan Chengmo. They said they were "Zhexi soldiers", but in fact there were not many Zhejiang people in the army. The backbone was the supervisors recruited by Fan Chengmo when he was the governor of Fujian.This army originally followed Fan Chengmo to eat and drink, and lived a very comfortable life.But when Geng Jingzhong turned his back on them, their good days would come to an end. Not only would they have to beg everywhere with Fan Chengmo, but they would even lose their military pay, sometimes even food and drink!
However, this difficulty is not a problem for an ancestral villain like Fan Chengmo. If there is no money, no food, no drink, then go grab it!Fan Chengmo, his ama, and Fan Wencheng started his career as a coated slave for the Manchus, helping the Manchus rob the Han people in the pass.

Therefore, Fan Chengmo’s military discipline was extremely corrupt. When he was fighting with Geng Jingzhong’s forces (Liu Bingzheng) and Zheng Jing’s forces in Fujian, he fought wherever he could and grabbed them. After he was transferred to West Zhejiang under the name of the Ming Army, he was honest for a few days because he was afraid of being settled by King Yi Zheng Jing and Minister of Officials Chen Yonghua (they were the leaders of the Fujian people).But robbery is addictive!

How can taking a few dead soldiers' pay be better than robbery?

Just when these soldiers who were used to robbing were itchy, they were called into Nanjing by Geng Jingzhong, and they were told to do great things in Nanjing last night!

This made the gang of bandit soldiers so happy that they drove out of the Nanjing Imperial City early this morning screaming, ready to rush to the Qinhuai River for a "zero yuan purchase" first.Unexpectedly, their small goal was actually blocked by more than 3000 Yingtian regiments.

On the one hand, we want to "purchase with zero yuan", and on the other hand, we want to protect our homes.

What else is there to say?This is the meeting of enemies, so jealous!Come up on both sides and attack!For a while, the entrance of Taipingli Street was full of bullets and bullets, and the sound of killing shook the sky.The bullets on both sides, the swords and spears against the swords and spears, quickly turned red eyes.After all, Ying Tiantuan was well-trained, and he had fought many tough battles in the defense of Nanjing. He had experienced training, and when he went to the battlefield, he could shoot accurately and charge fiercely, and soon overwhelmed Fan Chengmo's army.As soon as Fan Chengmo was about to be forced back to the Imperial City of Nanjing, Liu Bingzheng's Ministry sent by Geng Jingzhong rushed to the battlefield again.

After receiving several thousand reinforcements, Fan and Liu immediately launched a counterattack, and forced the two battalions of the Yingtian Regiment training back to Taipingli Street.

After gaining a little advantage, Fan Chengmo finally freed himself up and mobilized his troops to set fire to the houses on both sides of Taipingli!
The houses on both sides of Taipingli are all wooden houses, and these days are dry and rainless for days, so they are very easy to be ignited!

Seeing the fire spreading, Ying Tiantuan, who was determined to defend their homeland, became more passive. They had to launch a counterattack, trying to repel the enemy who was setting fire, and at the same time, they had to allocate some people to prevent the fire from spreading to the Qinhuai River area, and at the same time help the people who lost their homes escape from this hellish battlefield.

Fan and Liu's troops advanced while setting fire to it. At the same time, the cries of the people in Nanjing who had lost their homes and relatives in the fire greatly stimulated their animal nature.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield turned again, and a large number of armed Chinese people in Nanjing rushed to the three battlefields of Taipingli, Changfu Street, and Xihuamenwai Street like tides under the organization of Yingtianfu Yamen, Reform School, Jiangwutang, Shangyuan County Yamen, Jiangning County Yamen, and Yingtian guilds.

Because Taipingli was the closest to the bustling place along the Qinhuai River where Nanjing Chinese lived, a large number of red-eyed Chinese stepped over the ruins of houses on both sides of Taipingli Street, which was still burning even though the fire had weakened a lot, and began to outflank the rebels' wings.

This way of attacking directly across the field of fire scared the rebels under the command of Fan and Liu in one fell swoop!
Aren't these red-clothed soldiers afraid of being scalded?And they didn't send a small team to scout first, they directly launched a charge with a large group of people carrying spears. Although the formation was a bit chaotic, the weapons in their hands were also a bit chaotic.But it can't stand the fact that they are so many, and they are not afraid of death!
There were not many security troops deployed by the rebels on both sides, and they were overwhelmed by the group of Chinese who charged on the fire on the first day of the confrontation.
And the training army of Yingtian regiment, who was forced to retreat before, also took the opportunity to launch the most violent counterattack. The drums of the charge rang out one after another.
Dingwangfu.

The sound of gunshots and shouts of killing has gathered into a group. The Huaixi Red Scarf Army and the two battalions led by Shangyuan County Magistrate Zhang Jingke who fought back from the Prince Ding's Mansion have gathered into a group. The rolling red attack line is like a surging wave, slamming fiercely on the front line of the rebel army commanded by Yue Le.

At this time, Yue Le was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Less than an hour ago, he still had the upper hand!Although he couldn't take Dingwang's mansion for a while, he suppressed his opponent in Dingwang's mansion after all, but Shang Zhixin suddenly sent someone to tell him that he was going to copy the lairs of the third prince Zhu and Li Zhongshan.
This scared Yue Le into a fool!
How many people are there in Geng Jingzhong?How can we bear the consequences of 1 defections?What's more, if these 1 people don't turn against each other, Geng Jingzhong's side has already fallen into a hard fight.If they turn against each other again, what else is there to fight?
In addition, the third prince Zhu is not in Dingwangfu, but in Mochou Lake, and he is still with Li Zhongshan?
real or fake?

If Li Zhongshan had sneaked into Nanjing long ago, would he have known about Geng Jingzhong's rebellion plan?
The more Yue Le thought about it, the more anxious he became, but no matter how anxious he was, he could only be anxious!
Because the training unit of the Yingtian Regiment who had just arrived took advantage of the opportunity of Shang Zhixin leading the elite to leave the battlefield, broke through the encirclement of the rebels and joined forces with the defenders of Prince Ding's Mansion, and immediately launched a counterattack.

Although Yue Le still had more troops than his opponent, he was still in a hard fight!
Whether it is Yingtian Tuanlian or Huaixi Red Scarf, they are quite elite troops, well-trained and rich in actual combat experience. Among them, the Huaixi Red Scarf elite led by Luo Dawei is also equipped with a large number of flintlock guns.

Although Luo Dawei was unable to organize a neat line to shoot, he still sent out groups of musketeers, carrying bayonet-mounted flintlock guns, to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, and rushed to the vicinity of the enemy's formation against the enemy's arrow clusters, shooting waves of dense bullet rain.Rows of bullets poured down, making large and small gaps in Yue Le's front line.However, the density of firepower organized by Yue Le's troops was far inferior to that of the opponent. Although they could barely maintain the confrontation, the losses were much greater, and they would inevitably fail if they continued.

Yue Le also wanted to organize the infantry to fight back, rushing up to fight the enemy, but someone yelled in his ear: "The imperial city. The imperial city is on fire!"

Yue Le looked back, sure enough!The fire started in the direction of the north gate of the imperial city. This shows that what Shang Zhixin just sent someone to inform is true!

Third Prince Zhu and Li Zhongshan knew about Liu Jinzhong's defection today!
The trap has already been set!
"Withdraw" Yue Le spat out the word "withdraw" in great pain.

"My lord, how can I withdraw?"

"My lord, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins"

His two guards chiefs wanted to persuade Yue Le to fight again, but Yue Le stopped him with a wave of his hand: "We fell into the enemy's trap. It was a trap from the beginning! The enemy is plotting to plot against us, and we are doing it ourselves, but in fact we are all in their schemes. This battle is impossible to win. Withdraw now. We still have a chance to deal with the Ming army in Susong and Zhedong. If we don't withdraw now, we can't leave! Once Liu Jinzhong controls the imperial city, how can we withdraw?"

The imperial city of Nanjing is located in the east of Nanjing city. If Yue Le wants to retreat to the east, he must pass through the imperial city. If he wants to retreat to the south, he must also pass through the imperial city!As for Xiangbei, Liu Jinzhong has already controlled it, so there should be no way to run, and Xiangdong has thrown himself into a trap.

Therefore, taking advantage of Liu Jinzhong's failure to control the imperial city, running directly through the imperial city is the only way to survive. Although losses are inevitable, some troops can be withdrawn to some extent.

As long as some troops can be withdrawn, then Yue Le will still have a chance to deal with Daming in the southeast.

Thinking of this, he roared: "Get out! Ming Jin, get out quickly!"

"Whoo!"

The subordinates had no choice but to ring Geng Jingzhong's "death knell" according to Yue Le's order!
Changfu Street.

Geng Jingzhong didn't hear his "death knell", all his attention was focused on the dilapidated Chang's old house in front of him.

Another attack of his was repulsed, and there was another layer of corpses inside and outside the Chang family's old house, the blood stains became thicker, and the walls became more damaged.

Geng Jingzhong couldn't figure it out, how could a dilapidated house repel the attacks he launched wave after wave?How can he be emperor if he can't take down even a dilapidated house?
Thinking of this, he turned his head and gave Li Daoren, his most trusted fortune teller in the past, a fierce look—how do you do the math, you bastard?

Daoren Li is counting his fingers there!I don't know what to count, I just shook my head there.

"Daoist Li!" Geng Jingzhong roared.

"Ah, my lord, it's not good!"

Oh no?Even fools know the current situation is not good, so does it matter?
"What's wrong?"

"This permanent residence is the old residence of Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping! The descendants of King Kaiping are guarding here. King Kaiping is probably possessed by spirits!"

ah?Kaiping king possessed?

That is the "Chang Hundred Thousand" who beats all the invincible opponents in the world!He came to give "tactical guidance", and Geng Jingzhong really couldn't beat him.

Geng Jingzhong was speechless for a moment when Li Daoren said it. At this moment, someone suddenly wailed: "The red-clothed people are here, there are many red-clothed people!"

This is the arrival of more than 1 Nanjing nationals under the command of Chen Yonghua on the battlefield!
These more than 1 "people in red" are also full of anger - Changfu Street is almost burned to the ground, can they not be angry?When these mad Chinese people saw Geng Jingzhong's Wang Qi, they rushed over with red eyes without mobilizing.

And Chang Wei, who had just experienced a hard battle, was really possessed by Chang Yuchun at this time, and brought thousands of daredevils with bayonets and flintlock guns, and killed them out of the Chang family mansion.

All of a sudden, the surroundings of Geng Jingzhong were also filled with killing sounds and gunshots!

"Princess Bei? Where are you going?"

"The Northern King sent me to Mochou Lake to protect His Royal Highness, this is the token of the Northern King!"

"What? You defend the King of England? The King of England is the champion of all armies!"

"Hey, isn't that the rule? I'm a hostage"

"Ah, yes, yes, quickly, let Princess Bei go out!"

Just as the counterinsurgency battle in the inner city of Nanjing was going very smoothly, and when Geng Jingzhong's head was about to move, at the Sanshan Gate in the inner city of Nanjing, Princess Shang Shuying of the North had successfully passed the customs.

Originally, it was Ying Tiantuanlian who guarded the Sanshan Gate. They were more serious, and they couldn't easily let Shang Shuying out of the inner city.However, due to the good situation on the front line, Li Zhongshan had just issued an order for a general offensive, so those stationed at the Sanshan Gate became Ying Tianfu's servants.

This group of people in the public family are well-informed and tactful. They have long known that Shang Shuying has always followed Li Zhongshan as a hostage during his conquest in Huaixi!
It is said that Li Zhongshan originally wanted to kill her Shang Kexi's daughter, but Shang Shuying made Li Zhongshan look comfortable, and King Li Daying was reluctant to kill her, so he spared her.

Now the situation in Nanjing’s anti-insurgency war is very good. Geng Jingzhong’s rebel army has suffered setbacks on three fronts. The Chinese and national scholars in Nanjing have been organized to join the battle. The Northern King Liu Jinzhong is on the side of the court again, and now he has captured the imperial city of Nanjing.

Under such circumstances, it is completely reasonable for Shang Shuying to happily come to be a hostage!

As for the feud between her and Li Zhongshan who killed her father, it doesn't matter at all!

After leaving the Sanshan Gate, passing the Qinhuai River, which is used as a moat, is the Mochou Lake Prince's Mansion flying the king's flag with the word "English".

The Mochou Lake Prince's Mansion is still heavily guarded, and a small group of Musketeers from the Shanzi Battalion are guarding the door. They are not so easy to fool.But they also knew Shang Shuying, so they didn't organize defense immediately.

Shang Shuying stepped forward with a smile, took out the token of the King of the North and threw it over, "Do you know who I am? I came to the King of England as a hostage, and I also brought a thousand elite soldiers for the King of England to dispatch. Go and report."

The officer in charge of the gate also felt that Shang Shuying's words were quite reasonable, without any doubt, he took her badge and walked quickly to the Mochou Lake Prince's Mansion.Shang Shuying pulled the reins, and Pegasus came to her own people, and then ordered in a low voice: "Wang Datou knows I'm coming, and he will probably come out to meet him in person. When the time comes, you will charge with me. You must cut off the head of Wang Datou's neck and avenge the old prince!"

An old slave of the Shang family asked resentfully: "Ge Ge, what does Wang Datou look like?"

Shang Shuying smiled: "Wang Datou also has a nickname called Xiaohuo Lu Bu, he is a peerless beauty among men like Lu Bu, and among horses like Chitu!"

The surrounding Shang family members all nodded, and said in their hearts: If you are handsome, you can kill him!
At this moment, the gate of Mochou Lake Prince's Mansion suddenly opened, and a shout came from inside the gate: "Open the middle gate, the prince will come out to welcome you."
