Chongzhen Undergraduates

"If we chase in two directions now, our troops will be dispersed, and Xu Dingguo will definitely seize one direction and attack fiercely. In this way, we will lose half of our manpower very quickly."

"It's like a hedgehog. Once you stab your opponent, you must know how to withdraw quickly. The opponent is stronger than you, so don't expose your weakness. Take it back immediately after punching, so that the opponent has no way to attack."

Zhu You took a look at Zuo Maodi, this guy is really not bragging, he is definitely expected to be the chief of staff.

"Boy, let you learn from Mr. Zuo, will you believe me?"

Zhu Youjian looked at the seized cannons and the pile of firewood slowly piled up on the street, and said with satisfaction: "Persist for half an hour, no problem."

"With 2000 people fighting more than 1 people, we will win if we can persist until dawn." Zuo Maodi was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Youjian to have the ability to directly command the battle.

Xu Dingguo went crazy. With so many people on his side, who clearly had an absolute advantage, he was actually counter-charged by the opponent, and the battle line fell back 200 meters.

What's worse, the will to fight is gone.Morale is not enough, this battle is a fart.

If there is a cavalry at this time, I am afraid that they will immediately take back the position in front of the gate of Yuan Mansion just now.However, his soldiers are all Henan soldiers, let alone cavalry, it is difficult to find a few mules.

Looking at the two piles of raging fires in the middle of the street, Xu Dingguo's eyes turned red.

"Report! General Qi, there is an army coming from the south, the number of which exceeds [-], and they are coming here in the starry night, fighting under the banner of the Fengyang Army."

When Xu Dingguo was in a daze, Tanma hurried over, and Zhu Youjian's reinforcements were not far away.This time, Xu Dingguo's hopes were completely dashed.

"Withdraw!" Xu Dingguo didn't live in vain for 70 years. When it was time to give up, the old fox was very decisive.

"General, where are we going to retreat?" The confidant looked at Xu Dingguo blankly, and said goodbye to Daming completely, and was confused for a while.

"Crossing the big river, Houjin's army is waiting for us." Xu Dingguo was a little unconfident in what he said, because he was not sure what kind of official Houjin would give him if he crossed like this.

"You just killed Gao Jie and the emperor. You thought Daming would spare you?" Seeing that his subordinates hesitated, Xu Dingguo simply explained the words clearly.

When everyone heard this, they were all terrified.It was a lively fight just now, and now I think about it, it is true that the people in the Yuan Mansion are the emperor, and everyone knows what crime it is to kill the emperor.

"Let's go! Don't look any more, we can't go back." An old soldier pushed the little soldier, his face full of remorse.

Another hour later, Yan Yingyuan rushed to Suizhou City with an army of [-].On the street in front of the Yuan Mansion, there were ruins and ruins.

The original clean and bright archway has been stained black by the smoke.

The inscription written by Dong Qichang himself was also smashed out of its original shape, the chronicle plaque fell to the street, and sawdust fell to the ground.

The Yuanmen-style gate building has collapsed, and the heavy gate has long been thrown into the street and burned.Only the Library Pavilion in the backyard stands alone.

"I've seen the commander-in-chief." Yan Yingyuan came to Zhu Youjian and called him by the people around Zhu Youjian.

Those who can call Zhu Youjian the commander-in-chief are basically those who Zhu Youjian has personally led. People like Zuo Maodi can only shout: Your Majesty.

"Control the whole city to prevent chaos! If the Xuzhou army comes later, don't let them enter the city."

Zhu Youjian couldn't control Gao Jie's men now, even if Gao Jie died, there was nothing he could do.He was very afraid that the Xuzhou army would vent their anger on the people of Suizhou City.

"What if they insist on entering the city? In case of a stalemate, let's start a fight..." Zuo Maodi was a little worried. All these arrogant soldiers had eaten gunpowder.

"Just say what I said, if you want to seek revenge, go to the original owner. Suizhou City belongs to me, Zhu Youjian." Zhu Youjian's domineering reply made Yan Yingyuan feel confident.

"Also, ask Yuan Shu to summon servants to protect the library. Governor Yue Qijie and inspector Chen Qianfu are responsible for comforting the people of Suizhou. If the people are willing, they can be persuaded to retreat to Jiangnan in advance."

Suizhou has become the front line, and Zhu Youjian's strategic defense line is not here. At this time, population is also a resource. If these people are kept here, it is basically equivalent to supplementing Houjin.

However, he cannot afford large-scale southward immigration.The only way to make the people voluntary is to make the enemy one less and make oneself more, which is also fighting.

"Report! The Xuzhou army is less than ten miles away from here." Zhu Youjian had just finished setting up, and Tanma had already arrived.

"Under the self, the whole army drafts. Yan Yingyuan, you go out of the city to meet Li Benshen on my behalf."

Chapter 131: Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills

Li Benshen was also very depressed. He set up camp just after arriving at the destination with his troops.

I heard Tanma say that something happened in Suizhou.

"What happened?" Li Benshen had a bad feeling today, his eyelids kept twitching, and he couldn't stop sticking to the small paper.

"The guns rang out in the city, and there was still a big fire, and thick smoke could be seen billowing from miles away."

It has to be said that Xu Dingguo still has a lot of manpower. If it weren't for Zhu Youjian's involvement, it is estimated that the killing of Gao Jie would not have attracted the attention of outsiders at all.

The scene that Li Benshen's scout saw was exactly when Zhu Youjian and Xu Dingguo's men fought fiercely.The sound of guns, fire, and smoke filled the sky.There was too much movement, and I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to.

"The commander-in-chief has an accident. Hurry up and go back to the city." Li Ben was deeply worried about his uncle's safety and rushed back to help.

"General, what should we do with this camp?" Looking at the camp and supplies that had just been set up, his subordinates hesitated for a moment.

"I lost it, I lost it all. Let's go right away." Li Benshen didn't care about this, he started to put on his armor with a single sword.

From the previous morning until now, these three thousand soldiers have only stayed in Suizhou City for an hour, and have been running around for the rest of the time, even setting up a camp.

Tired, everyone was very tired, the marching speed of the troops was not as good as before, and they lingered until dawn before reaching the city of Suizhou.

"General, look." Two miles away, Li Benshen saw the white banner hanging on the gate tower.

The soldiers have changed, and now it is not the Suizhou soldiers who were not neatly assembled before.Instead, they were obviously wearing the Ming Dynasty mandarin duck battle jacket, and the well-equipped Daming force.

A bright yellow dragon flag hangs on a large flag in the city.Li Benshen has never seen this kind of flag, but it doesn't mean he has never heard of it. This is the Emperor's Emperor's Flag representing the emperor.

"General, do we want to go in?" Li Benshen's subordinates were a little confused. The soldiers guarding the city opposite were too quiet, and the formation was even more orderly than the Xuzhou army.

"Let's go!" Li Benshen murmured in his heart: Could it be that his uncle, like Liu Liangzuo, was tricked by the emperor?I have to go and have a look first.

"Who is here?" A burly man stretched out his hand to signal Li Benshen to stop, and the voice of the question was like a bell.

"Admiral Li Benshen, the leader of the Xuzhou Army, may I ask which general is in front of you?"

Li Benshen had seen a veteran in his 50s standing at the gate of the city a long time ago. He saw that although this man was not tall, he was not weak. Facing the thousands of people on his side, he stood still.

"Commander of the Great Ming Fengyang Army: Yan Yingyuan."

Yan Yingyuan reported his family name, and immediately let Li Ben take a deep breath.The arrival of an unknown general in the Fengyang Army has already spread throughout Jiangbei.

"Will a certain person enter or not?" Li Benshen was not sure, and the situation in the city was unclear. Now there is not even a reporter, what if there is an ambush?

"Come and dismount, the emperor summons you." At this moment, Yue Qijie walked out of the city slowly.The Yue Qijie that Li Benshen saw had a white cloth tied around his waist, with a depressed expression and reddish eye circles.

Others didn't know each other, but of course Yue Qijie was familiar with him.Li Benshen had no choice but to follow Yue Qijie's request, leave the soldiers and horses outside the city, dismount with a group of generals, and walk into the city.

In the city of Suizhou, soldiers stood on both sides of the street, and each soldier also wore a white cloth around his waist.

"My lord, what happened in Suizhou? Where's my uncle?" Li Ben was very anxious, grabbed Yue Qijie and asked eagerly.
