Two days later, Huang Degong took the remaining [-] defenders and was forced by the Jin soldiers to the East and West Mountains outside the city.There is no water source, no food, and only a few cannons on the mountain.

"Master, Huang Degong can't escape anymore." Li Chengdong happily approached Nikan to ask for credit.It was because of his informant that Jin Bing had a new understanding of cement and new firearms.It is also because of him that Jin Bing was able to quickly find out the weaknesses of the Fengyang defenders, and finally pushed Huang Degong to a desperate situation.

"But, they still have more than 2000 people!" Ni Kan reminded Li Chengdong, meaning that you want to get credit, but it's not yet time.

"Master, as long as we surround them, they will die of thirst within three days. We can defeat Huang Degong without firing a single shot." Li Chengdong didn't want to send his men to die, so he said.

"Boom!" As soon as Li Chengdong finished speaking, the bullet on Dongshan rang, and a bullet flew directly into Fengyang, almost hitting Nikan.

"Trash, is this what you said there is no threat?" Ni Kan jumped up angrily and slapped Li Chengdong several times.

Li Chengdong touched his hot cheek, gritted his teeth and said, "This servant is going to kill Huang Degong."

Whether it is Li Chengdong or Huang Degong, although their firecrackers are also flintlock guns, the medicine they use is only granulated black powder, and Zhu Youjian has no and no extra nitrocellulose for them.

Two days later, Huang Degong was shot three times in the heart, and was shot to death after cursing Li Chengdong.

Fengyang, the central capital, was massacred by Nikan, and none of the 10,000+ soldiers and civilians were spared.

Chapter 375: Twelve of Jianghuai Great Battle

Hauge was very depressed. He didn't understand how his elite army encountered such fierce resistance in Huai'an City, and the opponent was the third-rate miscellaneous army he despised the most half a month ago.

This golden army will always have the strongest cavalry, firearms and fiercest fighters.Except for the lack of super cannons, it can be said that they have all the best weapons on the Central Plains battlefield in this era.Of course, except for those weapons newly invented by Zhu Youjian.

And what do the soldiers guarding the city have? They only have the weapons that the Houjin elite don't want, plus the complete empty city of Huai'an that Zhu Youjian left for them.

That's it, these people have been standing in Huai'an for a full ten days. After losing all the defensive areas such as city walls, government offices and houses, about the last 3000 people retreated into the field hospital.This is Zhu Youjian's temporary palace at the beginning, and Liu Zeqing first built a luxurious home for himself.

"Boss, this is the place where the Ming emperor lived, and it was also the hospital where the Ming army used to be." Kun Fajun didn't know what this house was for before they discovered that some houses in the yard contained some medicinal materials and medicines. They didn't pay attention to it until it was a device for treating trauma.

Zhu Youjian left Huai'an, but because he has lived here many times, the courtyard where he lived has been kept as a small palace for him.Therefore, some things that Zhu Youjian used were left in this place, including two or three sets of dragon robes.

The leader of Kun Fajun, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty knew his real name, but only knew that he led and commanded the battle to defend the city.Just like many righteous men who resisted the Manchu Qing in history, history cannot remember their names.

"We have been surrounded, we will die today or tomorrow. Brothers, since we were killed by the Tartars in the name of the Ming Dynasty, why don't we be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in a dignified way."

The leader of Kun Fajun looked at Zhu Youjian's clothes and a pile of command flags, military supplies and other items, feeling a little emotional.He really wants to join that Ming army now, but unfortunately he has no chance.

The leader's proposal made all the soldiers of the Kunfa army excited. After fighting one after another, they already regarded themselves as the Ming army in their hearts.However, this still requires a title.

Han people pay attention to status, and they need status to establish a family;It seems that things without a name are not recognized by heaven.

"We don't have the uniforms of the Ming army, but we have so many things that can prove that we are the Ming army. Military flags, bugles, etc., and the clothes of the Ming emperor.

I think we should take these things to fight against the Tartars, and let the Tartars outside know that we are actually the real Ming army.

Everyone agree? "

"Okay." The Kun Fajun soldiers stood up and applauded.And so the matter was settled.

Hauge stood outside the city of Huai'an, and his eyes were full of corpses of Jin soldiers who died in battle, more than 1 people.This made Hauge feel distressed, because among these people there are 2000 soldiers from the Eight Banners.

He needs to find a past reason to explain the Huai'an war, otherwise there will be black spots on Hou Jin's self-promoted brilliant record.

It can't be said that Jin Bing himself was fighting with himself, and then some third-rate Han soldiers who turned back beat the elite Eight Banners until their noses and faces were bruised, right?

Finding a plausible reason is still the second thing. The first problem that Hauge needs to solve is to completely wipe out the defenders in the city.

"Give me a military order to send out two battalions of the Eight Banners Army to kill them all." Hauge stared at the bull's eye and ordered fiercely.

This is the consistent style of fighting in the later Jin Dynasty. When encountering a strong enemy, first send the Han army to gnaw the bones, and then use the Han Eight Banners to consume the enemy's main force. When the enemy is exhausted, send out the full Eight Banners Or Mongolia Eight Banners to reap the results.

Anyway, the greatest credit will always belong to the Manchu Banners themselves, and the achievements they boasted all belong to the Manchurians.

Now is the time to pick peaches in Huai'an City.Those Kunfa troops were already wounded and exhausted, and all that awaited them was the massacre of the last battle.

Five hundred Han troops broke through the gate first, and then thousands of Eight Banners wearing thick double armor and riding horses also covered in armor swarmed into the yard. They wandered around the field hospital for a long time. No defenders were found.

"Master, where are they?" A Han soldier pointed at Zhu Youjian's house and shouted.

"Good slave, I will reward you." Han Dai, the leader, threw a small piece of silver, and the Han soldier who was happy to report the letter quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Batulu of the Great Jin Kingdom, follow me to kill the enemy!" Han Dai raised his saber and shouted towards the yard.

This yard is actually not small, and there is a large playground inside. This is where Zhu Youjian trained the first batch of officials to exercise.

The Eight Banners led by Han Dai rushed to the playground, but were blocked by a long row of spears.The Eight Banners soldiers charged forward with their own riding and archery skills and the armor of their horses, but they didn't expect that there were still soldiers ambushing in the surrounding houses.

"Kill!" These defenders suddenly unfurled the banner of the Ming army, and some of them even wore clothes abandoned by some Ming army soldiers in the city.What is even more exaggerated is the leader of Kun Fajun. He actually found a bamboo pole and tied it into a cross, and then put Zhu Youjian's dragon robe on the cross.

"Brothers, for the sake of the Ming emperor, we fought against the Tartars." Kun Fajun shouted, fighting hard against the Eight Banners soldiers.The entire playground was filled with the sound of ping-pong and weapons intersecting.

Soldiers fell one after another, including the Kun Fa Army and the Eight Banners.But the sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty in the battle has not fallen down, and Zhu Youjian's dragon robe has been hung all the time.

"Fire the arrows." Han Dai rode on the horse, looking at the playground indifferently, with five hundred Eight Banners archers standing beside him.As the order was issued, several waves of arrows rained non-stop on the battlefield.

Kun Fajun fell to the ground, and blood stained the entire playground, which has become a lake of blood.Many Eight Banners also have arrows stuck in their bodies, but because their armor is very thick, there is no need to worry about their lives.

But Kun Fajun, who had no armor, was completely wiped out.The leader of Kun Fajun knelt down on his knees. He held Daming's flagpole with his left hand and Zhu Youjian's dragon robe with his right hand.

Hauge was overjoyed when he heard that he had found the military uniform of the Ming army and the emperor's dragon robe. In his eyes, this instantly became the evidence to eliminate the emperor's most elite guards.

No one will doubt the authenticity of this matter, because it is only reasonable for the Manchu Banners, who have been mythically regarded as an invincible army, to finally wipe out the emperor of Ming Dynasty and his most elite troops at a small price.

"Send a quick horse to report the news to the capital, saying that my brave Eight Banners Army suspected of killing the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and his tens of thousands of elite guards in Huai'an." Hauge did not dare to report this matter in a clear way. I also know that this is not true.

However, Hou Jin needed results to launch this war, and of course the biggest result was to kill Zhu Youjian.

After Hauge issued the official document, he wrote a private report to Dorgon, explaining the truth of the matter in detail.Although the truth is unknown, the news that Zhu Youjian and his elite main force were destroyed in Huai'an spread like a flood throughout the entire Jiangnan.

This is a political propaganda made by Houjin by using the Huai'an war, and it is also a fast move they want to quickly disintegrate the resistance in the south of the Yangtze River.

Huai'an has fallen, and the next step for Hauge is to quickly march into Yangzhou City.

Chapter 376: Split

"The old man will never believe it!"

In Yangzhou City, Shi Kefa angrily threw away the military information in his hand.

In just half a month, news of various defeats in the entire Jiangbei was sent to him one after another.

Ma Shiying died, and Shi Kefa felt very sorry; Liu Liangzuo rebelled, and he cursed angrily all night; Fengyang fell, and he shed tears of pain.

But now that Zhu Youjian and Jiangbei's most elite main force did not come, Shi Kefa didn't believe it. Zhu Youjian's figure in the past three years appeared in front of him one after another.

To say that many of Zhu Youjian's current actions really moved Shi Kefa unreasonably, but the emperor is still a monarch who can do something, and no one can deny this, because the entire defense of Jiangbei was formed by the emperor alone.
