Outside the fort, in the Qing army camp, he was discussing waiting for Zhao Ming's food to run out, and then Ajige, who entered the fort, suddenly received a report from his subordinates, and his expression changed immediately.

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Ajige, and asked in confusion: "Prince, what's wrong?"

Ajige's expression was gloomy for a moment, and he returned to calmness. He sneered and said to everyone: "It's nothing, it's just the Ming army in Jiangnan, and it's starting to cross the river!"

Fan Wencheng was shocked when he heard the utterance, "Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yihai sent troops across the river. Is this going to save Zhao Zamao!"

Ajige nodded, "Zhao Zamao is Zhu Yihai's general, and he cannot help but save him. However, Zhu Yihai and Zhu Youjian did not restrain each other because of Nanjing. Instead, they sent troops across the river to rescue Zhao Zamao, which surprised me a little."

Seeing Ajige so relaxed, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but say anxiously: "Prince, we finally trapped Zhao Zamao this time, no matter what, we can't let him run away!"

Ajige stood up, but was not worried. "This time I made careful planning. After Zhu Yihai raised his army, the Jiangnan camp retreated to Jiangbei in an orderly manner, took over the Jiangbei defense line, and deployed defenses around Yangzhou. When the Ming army in Jiangnan broke through the defense line, when they arrived, Zhao Zamao's body was already cold!"

Fan Wencheng Wenyu said, "Even so, the prince still needs to step up the attack!"

Ajige nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Shi Tingzhu, lead the troops and go south immediately to assist Boleh in stopping the Ming army in Jiangnan!"

Shi Tingzhu immediately stood up and saluted, "Zha, I am accused of the order!"

When Shi Tingzhu left the tent, Ajige immediately picked up the wine glass and said to the remaining generals in the tent: "Everyone drinks this cup, wishing to capture Shibao and kill Zhao Zamao!"

In the tent, the Qing army raised their wine glasses, echoed loudly, and tilted their heads to drink.

Seeing this, Ajige laughed non-stop and threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground. The generals in the tent followed suit and laughed out loud, "Break the time fort, kill the miscellaneous hair!"

Zhu Yihai went to Dasheng Pass, welcomed Zhu Youti to Nanjing, and persuaded Zhu Youjian to send troops to reinforce Jiangbei.

When he learned that Zhu Youjian appointed He Tengjiao as the supervisor, Zhu Yihai and Zhejiang were in a state of silence, and he knew that the court might not be able to count on it.

This made Zhu Yihai hesitate for a moment. Although the court agreed to send troops, Zhu Youjian clearly did not want to save Zhao Ming. If he wanted to save Zhao Ming, he had to rely on his own troops in the Zhejiang regime.

In this way, the Zhejiang Group will inevitably suffer huge losses. Zhu Yihai was worried that he did not rescue Zhao Ming, but instead used tens of thousands of troops to get in, so he would not have the capital to fight Zhu Youjian.

At the critical moment, Xia Wanchun came out and questioned Zhu Yihai, "If there were no Donghai Town and Duke Zhao, could His Highness compete with the court?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yihai made up his mind to send three soldiers from Li Chengdong, Zhang Mingzhen and Wu Zhaosheng, more than 90,000 people across the Yangtze River, and joined forces with the generals of Donghai Town, Wang Chaoxian and Wang Yi, and advanced towards Gaoyou.

At the same time, He Tengjiao was also ordered to lead a large army that had just arrived in Wuhu to cross the river and occupy Hezhou, Jiangpu, Liuhe and other places.

Although He Tengjiao did not rush to Yangzhou with all his strength, more than 100,000 troops crossing the river still restrained the Qing army of Yangzhou, and shared a certain amount of pressure for the Zhejiang army and Donghai Town to advance.

In order to rescue Zhao Ming, Wang Chaoxian and Wang Yi and other generals who received reinforcements from the Zhejiang Army were unswervingly acting as vanguards. Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen also worked very hard, and the army continued to advance, advancing to the vicinity of Xinghua County 30 miles south of Shibao Town.

When the Ming army in Jiangnan crossed the river, Wang Yi and Wang Chaoxian in Jiangbei had already discovered the news that the remaining soldiers in Donghai Town were trapped in Shibao. Zhao Ming sent dead soldiers asking for help, and also broke through the encirclement to Taizhou, which allowed the Ming army to confirm the news that Zhao Ming was trapped in Shibao.

Not to mention, the Zhejiang reinforcements bravely advanced, but in Shibao City, the patience of nearly ten thousand Ming troops had reached its limit.

The Ming army had just repelled the Qing army's attack, and the soldiers lay on the fort wall in a row. Many wounded soldiers had starved to death because they could not get any food. Even the uninjured soldiers had their wills swallowed by hunger.

In recent days, Zhao Ming has found a road through the swamp, but the Qing army has sieged heavily and guarded important passes. Zhao Ming organized a breakthrough several times but failed.

This made the thousands of soldiers and horses remaining in the city feel a little desperate.

In the dark night, the trapped Ming soldiers were crowded with the city. The hunger made it difficult for them to fall asleep. Zhao Ming leaned his back against the fort wall and greeted several subordinates to discuss.

"This won't work. If you want to survive, you have to rush out!" Zhao Ming said in a deep voice.

Li Benshen, Tang Tong and others were silent, and even Wang Deshun lost confidence. "The general rushed for no less than seven times, and was blocked by the Qing army every time. Not only did he not rush out, but he also lost many brothers."

When Zhao Ming saw the eyes of everyone, he said with a hint of despair, "I can't rush out for the last time, I can't rush out, everyone dies here together!"

As he was talking, a voice suddenly sounded from the top of the city, "Look, the fire!"

Zhao Ming stood up and asked anxiously, "What a fire?"

The Ming soldiers on the fort wall were in a commotion, and someone replied again: "Master, there is a fire in the south!"

"South?" Zhao Ming immediately strode towards the fort wall. Seeing this, the generals of the Ming army immediately stood up and hurriedly chased after him.

Soon, Zhao Ming climbed up the fort wall. When he stood at the top of the city, he almost fainted due to hunger. However, his belief in leading his brothers out of the siege made Zhao Ming calm down and walk up the fortress.

This building is used to observe the movements of the Qing army camp outside the fort. There was already a person standing on it, but it was Gao Yuanzhao. When he saw Zhao Ming, he shouted to him excitedly: "The fire of the Grand Marshal is in the direction of Xinghua."

Zhao Ming hurriedly climbed up the tower and looked south. Sure enough, there was a flash of fire in the far south. With such movement, something big happened.

"It must be reinforcements!" Tang Tong and others could not hide their excitement on their faces, and their bodies were trembling slightly with excitement.

Wang Deshun's excited tone was distorted, "Master, this must be for us, and reinforcements to rescue us must have arrived."

Many generals and soldiers were so excited that they shook hands and hugged each other, trying to vent their joy.

Zhao Ming also had a look of joy on his face. He didn't expect someone to come to save him, but he was calm. He stared at the direction of the fire and narrowed his eyes. It was estimated that the fire was at least twenty or thirty miles away, and it was still far from Shibao.
