Chapter 389 The longest day (5)
(Thank you to book friends for "Nickname 2" for supporting again!)
Li Yuanyin was originally here to bring reinforcements, but he didn't expect these guys to fight first. Li Yuanyin stood by and shouted for a long time, no one listened to him. These guys were all his uncles. Without Li Chengdong, how could Li Yuanyin suppress them?
Luo Chengyao was going to make things worse. When he saw the Henan generals getting angry, he shouted: "Dear Henan brothers, these bastards in Shaanxi are so bad. Everyone searched the guys and fought with them!"
Hearing Luo Chengyao's inspiration, all Henan generals returned to the camp to organize troops and prepare for a fight.
When the Shaanxi generals saw that they were still afraid of you Henan men, they also organized people to prepare to fight back.
When Li Yuanyin saw that these guys were preparing to fight, no one cared about him, he quickly stepped forward to pull Yang Dafu and shouted: "Uncle Yang, fight slowly, what should the commander in the city do?"
Yang Dafu is a reckless man. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so excited when he heard Li Yuanyin say that.
"Yes, damn it, my brother is still in the city. You bastards listen to me!"
Now that Li Chengdong is not here, the Shaanxi generals still listen to Yang Dayu more.
"What's wrong with Brother Yang?"
"You guys are fighting with Henan bastards here. I will take my people to the city to save Brother Li!"
"Okay, Brother Yang, don't worry. These Henan guys are fewer than us, so don't worry!"
Most of Li Chengdong's army was Shaanxi, with only more than 10,000 people from Henan and Shandong. Therefore, Yang Dayu took away 10,000 cavalry, and left more than Henan people.
Li Yuanyin saw that the military camp was in chaos and had no choice but to do anything. Before he could take Li Chengdong's seat, these uncles didn't listen to him at all. There was no choice but to let them fight and wait until their father was rescued.
Li Yuanyin took Yang Dayu and 10,000 cavalry out of the camp to the south gate. The route back was the same as those who came out, and he had to go through the south gate to enter the city. It was not that the east gate could not be left, but the east gate was mainly closed. It took too long to break through the east gate, and there was no quick way to get to the south gate.
The ten personal soldiers left by Li Yuanyin of the South Gate were left with fear. They were afraid that the Qing army in the city would react and occupy the South Gate, so their ten people would be useless. Now, hearing the sound of horse hooves in the distance, knowing that the major general had found reinforcements, they immediately felt relieved.
The south gate was full of people, and a large number of people were waiting to enter the city. Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance and fled in fear. Li Yuanyin and his 10,000 cavalry did not stop at the south gate at all. At this time, they didn't care about the common people, and countless people died under the horse hooves for a while.
When the gate-guarding inspectors saw Li Chengdong's army entering the city in large numbers, they knew it was not good, and they did not dare to stop them. After the army passed, the dozen gate-guarding inspectors ran away quietly. No matter who wins, they will be in trouble. It would be better to run away while the matter is in chaos.
Nancheng is a commercial street, with more people. Yang Dafu and Li Chengdong had slaughtered many cities back then, and they could be called killing people. When Yang Dafu saw the people all over the city, he laughed, "It's only so satisfying, I'll send orders! Kill everyone who blocked the way!"
Ten thousand cavalrymen showed their sabers and slashed the people on the road, and their heads rolled in for a moment.
Li Yuanyin looked at it and said, "Uncle Yang, it's better to kill less!"
"Hehe, boy, you are not a handsome guy yet. You can't care about me. I'll talk about it when you take your father's seat!"
Seeing Yang Dafu say this, Li Yuanyin had no choice but to follow Yang Dafu on a horse. Although Yang Dafu's methods were cruel, they were much more effective. When the people on the street saw these troops killing people, they were so scared that they hid in the alleys and dared not come out. It turned out that Nancheng Street, which was densely crowded, became empty, and Yang Dafu led his cavalry to run wildly on the street.
Tong Guonai, who was besieging Li Chengdong, saw that the Qing army had already entered the last floor of the yard, with only more than 300 people left on Li Chengdong, and success was right in front of him.
Tong Guonai was overjoyed and said to Tong Tuchang: "Did you see it? Li Chengdong will be finished in a while!"
As soon as Tong Guonai finished speaking, he felt the ground shake. Tong Guonai had experienced a long battle formation and knew that this was the shock of a large group of cavalry marching.
Tong Guonai was so scared that his face turned pale. Unexpectedly, Li Chengdong's reinforcements came so quickly, and there were tens of thousands of people. He only had less than three thousand people, and he was not a match for the cavalry.
Tong Guonai grabbed the Qing army commander and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hurry! Organize manpower to defend the cavalry! Li Chengdong's cavalry has entered the city!"
The commander also heard the sound of horse hooves and his face turned pale. He quickly organized people to come to the entrance of the alley to defend the cavalry.
In fact, infantry has an advantage over cavalry in street fighting. If the cavalry's impact speed cannot be exerted, it is easy to be divided and eliminated by infantry. However, Li Chengdong's cavalry had far exceeded that of the Qing army, and they were all new forces. The Qing army had been fighting here for half an hour, and it was really the last time.
The Qing army organized 500 people to line up ten layers of defense at the entrance of the alley, preparing to use shields to defend the cavalry. If the three thousand Qing army members were physically strong and had a tight defensive formation, it was hard to say that they could win in street battles. But at this time, the Qing army was no match for the cavalry at all. The tired soldiers had just lined up at the entrance of the alley, and the shields had not yet been unfolded, the cavalry arrived.
The leader was Yang Dafu and a hundred heavily armored cavalry, who were responsible for breaking out the enemy formation. These people were all wearing three layers of heavy armor and were not afraid of arrows at all. The Qing army's bows and arrows were of no use to them at all, and they were only useful to shoot the eyes and horses. But the Qing army now had this opportunity, and Yang Dafu's heavy armored cavalry rushed in as soon as they were arranged in formation.
Yang Dafu rushed into the crowd and slashed and cleared the way for the subsequent cavalry. The subsequent cavalry rushed into the alley like a flood opened a gate. Tong Guonai, who was standing behind, saw that something was wrong, and his life was about to be over today.
Tong Guonai looked around and the attention of the people around him was on the battle. Tong Guonai quietly retreated, found a horse and ran back to the north city, preparing to escape.
Tong Tuchang was fully focused on the battle ahead, and turned around and found that Tong Guonai ran away. Tong Tuchang wanted to find Wang Xian to ask for a few people to chase him, but he still didn't go. It might be useful to keep Tong Guonai's life in the future.
Li Chengdong in the mansion had completely retreated to the inner house, and Li Chengdong was ready to kill several of his wives and concubines and then commit suicide. Just when Li Chengdong was about to take action, he suddenly found that all the Qing army had retreated, and then the sound of horse hooves came from the front yard. Li Chengdong knew that reinforcements had arrived, and his life was saved.
Wang Xian also sat on the ground and gasped. This battle of life and death was really dangerous. Wang Xian looked around and found that most of the four hundred people he brought were killed or injured. Among the hundred households, only Ding Wei was still alive, and Xue Yue and others were all killed in battle.
Li Chengdong looked at Wang Xian, Ding Wei and others, bowed and said, "Brothers, you saved me today. If you need something in the future, Li Hezi will never say anything!"
Wang Xian and others were so tired that they couldn't even speak, so they could only bow their hands.
At this time, a voice outside the door said, "General Li, now I, Emperor Shenwu, need you anyway, don't you agree?"
Li Chengdong looked up and saw that it was Tong Tuchang, the target of the deer-headed rat, who was here.
Seeing Tong Tuchang come in, Li Chengdong remembered what Wang Xian said about him being detained by the governor.
Li Chengdong asked with a gloomy face: "Mr. Tong, let me ask you something. Tong Guonai and I have no deep hatred. Is it you who are trying to kill me today?"
After hearing Li Chengdong tell him that Tong Tuchang looked as usual, he bowed and said, "That's right! Tong Guonai and I are relatives. I showed him the edict that His Majesty the Emperor enthroned you, and he made up his mind to kill you!"
When Li Chengdong heard that he had been hit by Tong Tuchang's plan, he was extremely angry and pulled out his sword and wanted to kill Tong Tuchang. Wang Xian and the Jinyiwei were immediately standing up to protect Tong Tuchang. When Li Chengdong's personal soldiers saw that the general was about to take action, they pulled out their waist swords and prepared to fight with their comrades who had fought side by side just now.
When Tong Tuchang saw Li Chengdong's blood-stained knife, he laughed and said, "Li Chengdong, do you think it's okay to kill me? If you kill me, you will completely offend Emperor Shenwu. This time you have become the mortal enemy of the Qing Dynasty. You are attacked from both sides. The world is so great that you are not as good as you, Li Chengdong!"
When Li Chengdong heard Tong Tuchang say this, the knife in his hand stopped in mid-air. This bastard was right. He has become a mortal enemy with the Qing Dynasty. If he kills Tong Tuchang, as he said, there is no place for him to live in the world. However, Tong Tuchang is so hateful that his whole family almost died at his hands. He is really unwilling to do so if he doesn't deal with him.
Tong Tuchang saw Li Chengdong hesitating and said with a smile: "General Li, you don't know yet. Just ten days ago, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren from Jiangxi had already put forward the banner. Anyway, all the tens of millions of people in Jiangxi belong to me, Emperor Shenwu. Do you still have to be obsessed with it?"
Hearing Jin Shenghuan, Li Chengdong's face turned several times, and now he was desperate. In the end, Li Chengdong had no choice but to put down his knife and knelt down to Nan and said, "My memory, Li Chengdong, is willing to surrender to the Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty!" After that, he took off his helmet and used a knife to cut off the rat-tail of the Qing Dynasty's money.
Seeing Li Chengdong's actions, Tong Tuchang knew that the incident in Fujian was finally completed. Tong Tuchang smiled and helped Li Chengdong up and said, "Prince, you and Tong will be in the same palace as their ministers in the future!"
Although Li Chengdong surrendered, he hated the insidious villain Tong Tuchang very much.
"Mr. Tong, your method is very dark. It's better to stay away from you in the future!"
After hearing what Li Chengdong said, Tong Tuchang suddenly remembered the incident when his uncle asked him to win over Li Chengdong when he left Guangdong.
Tong Tuchang first asked Wang Xian and others to go down to rest. Seeing that there were no people around, he whispered: "Mr. Li, do you think you will be fine after surrendering to Emperor Shenwu?"
Li Chengdong glared at his eyes and asked, "What else can I do? Didn't the Emperor say that the past will be done in the imperial edict?"
"No, no! Our Emperor has great ambitions. A woman has not yet taken it to his eyes. It is someone else who looks down on Lord Li!"
