Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 590 Fu Shangrui, trying to escape

To He Tengjiao, the scene under the city seemed a bit weird. Two hundred riders were invincible in the Qing army camp, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like they were acting.

Although these people were dripping with blood, He Tengjiao couldn't be sure to pay attention. The Qing army had done a lot of things, pretending to be reinforcements to deceive the city.

The people in the city were not familiar with Li Yuanyin, but the Wuwei Zuo Army was Jin Shenghuan's troops, so did the Jiangxi Ming Army come to support him?
He Tengjiao didn't stop at the moment, and didn't come up with an idea for a long time.

At this time, Fu Shangrui organized more than 500 Qing soldiers to chase and kill them.Li Yuanyin rushed out of the camp, giving him time to breathe.Seeing that the Ming army in the city did not come out to cooperate, he boldly ordered his own soldiers to chase and kill them.

Seeing this, Li Yuanyin cheered up, held his spear, pulled the rein, and then he clamped his horse and took the lead to meet him.

Two hundred cavalrymen followed closely behind him, made a roundabout turn, and crashed into the pursuing infantry. The Qing soldiers were immediately knocked out, and the Ming army's spear pierced the enemy's chest, blooming bright red.

The remaining [-] Qing soldiers knew their own situation, and the main force ran away. Naturally, they had no confidence in fighting, and their fighting will was weak. When they were rushed by the cavalry, they immediately collapsed.

Just now the cavalry charged in the Qing camp, it was too far away from the top of the city, He Tengjiao and others couldn't see clearly, now they were fighting at the bottom of the city, blood spattered, more than 500 Qing soldiers were thrown into chaos in one round, and the cavalry rarely fell off their horses , but the Qing soldiers were killed and injured nearly a hundred.

This time the Ming army on the top of the city saw it clearly, which means that Li Yuanyin performed it again for them. , but it can't be faked at all.

In an instant, there was a loud cheer from the city, and the reinforcements really came.

The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted. Chen Youlong picked up the drum hammer and beat it up. The drums roared to cheer Li Yuanyin.

He Tengjiao didn't hesitate, and ordered to leave the city, but the city gate was blocked by stones, he wanted to go out, but he couldn't get out for a while.

At this time, Li Yuanyin killed the infantry of the Qing soldiers, and when he looked up, the Qing army's banner was also chasing him in the distance.In order to bluff, Duoduo left the banner of the king's flag behind, and Fu Shangrui was under the banner, wanting to command the Qing soldiers to wipe out the two hundred cavalry, and delay it for another day.

When Li Yuanyin saw him, the horses did not turn around, and went to kill the infantry, but pointed their spears, and the two hundred cavalry immediately continued to charge towards the big banner without stopping.

Chen Youlong beat the war drums and yelled, and a large number of defenders rushed to the top of the city to watch the battle and cheer for Li Yuanyin.

Fu Shangrui was shocked. He only knew that the Eight Banners were powerful, but he didn't expect that there were such fierce cavalry in the Ming army. If they rushed over, he would definitely die.

"Go up! Block them!"

Fu Shangrui roared anxiously, and nearly a thousand Qing soldiers around him immediately pressed forward, but just as the Qing soldiers stepped forward, he pulled the reins, kicked his horse and fled.

He couldn't control the three-day period now, his life was the most important thing, seeing the excitement of the defenders on the city, he couldn't hide it, so he decided to run for his life immediately.

The Qing soldiers who pressed forward kept their eyes open. They didn't take a few steps when they heard the horseshoes going away behind them. Looking back, there was no one under the banner of the big flag.

How can the coach be shaken on the battlefield?The coach and the big banner can't retreat half a step. As long as they retreat, their morale will drop to the bottom.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty had no idea, but now they found that Fu Shangrui had run away, they would continue to block the cavalry. They turned around and ran away in a very funny way. Li Yuanyin rushed over, drew out his waist knife and cut off the flagpole.

The big banner crashed to the ground, and thousands of Qing soldiers in the camp, who had already been unable to control the situation, immediately bombed the camp together with the civilian husbands, and nearly 10 people were completely in chaos.

The ancients were very rural. Although Jiangnan was under the control of the Qing soldiers, it was their hometown after all. Their families and land were all in Jiangnan, so the peasants did not want to be caught by the Ming army and separated from their families.

At the head of Wuchang City, even He Tengjiao could see that this opportunity must not be missed, and the time to grab the credit has come.

He Tengjiao immediately ordered to attack, but the stones at the city gate were not cleared. In a panic, all the defenders rushed to the low wall, climbed over the wall, rushed out from the gap, and rushed towards the Qing camp like a storm.

Panting, Fu Shangrui fled to the pre-prepared boat. He watched in shock as the Ming army swept across the camp. A one-sided massacre began, and the blood flowed in Wuchang City.

Fu Shangrui fled to the boat with only a dozen of his confidants. His 4000 troops were completely in disarray. He didn't have the intention to gather them up, but thought it would be better for them to hold back the Ming army.

At this time, the nephew whom he had arranged to guard the ship came up to greet him and called out anxiously, "Uncle, come in quickly."

Fu Shangrui hurriedly prepared to drill into the ship's cabin, and suddenly realized that there was still a big thing to do, the ship that Duoduo brought had not been burned.

Hong Chengchou spent countless manpower and material resources to build these ships in the south of the Yangtze River. The purpose of these ships was to compete with the Ming army for control of the Yangtze River. If they fell into the hands of the Ming army, it would undoubtedly strengthen the Ming navy.

Burning the boat was the most important thing Duoduo explained, and the boat must be burned.

"Who will burn the ship?" Fu Shangrui thought of this question.But the Ming army will come after them immediately, and if they go down to burn the boat, most likely they will not come back, and they will definitely be chopped into meat by the angry Ming army.

"Go!" Fu Shangrui pointed to his nephew and said, "Go and come back quickly, there is kerosene and hay on board, and it will burn at one o'clock. I will wait for you to come back."

His nephew believed it and rushed down from the ship deck, but several soldiers stood still, Fu Shangrui said angrily, "Hurry up!"

Seeing that Young Master Biao had gone, the soldiers hurriedly followed. Seeing them walking away, Fu Shangrui really got angry after a while, and turned around quickly and shouted: "Let's sail!"

The master next to him was not surprised by this.

Fu Shangrui had no choice. If the ship was not burned, let the Ming army get it. Maybe it would be able to go down the river in the next year.

Without the credit for burning the boat, he was just an ordinary Han official who surrendered to the Qing court. The burning of the boat bought time for Jiangnan. He is a great achievement and must be reused.

Fu Shangrui had another consideration. Once the fire ignited, the Ming army would definitely go straight there to put out the fire and grab the boat, which would buy him time to escape.

Fu Shangrui rushed to the side of the boat with a knife, cut off the rope suddenly, and ordered "start the boat."

He can't burn the ship by himself, and the staff around him are all good people who know him very well, so he can only sacrifice one nephew.

Fu Shangrui could imagine his disappointed expression when his nephew ran back and saw that the ship had disappeared, but he didn't care about the small things when he was doing big things.

The boatmen on the boat began to raise the sails, but at this time, countless peasants fled to the shore with the defeated army in their arms.

Seeing this panic, Fu Shangrui hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, leave quickly!"
