At this moment, the city of Nanjing was in chaos.

As mentioned before, cities in the south are different from those in the north. Most of the city streets in the north are horizontal and vertical, just like Chang'an City. Hundreds of houses are like a chess board, and twelve streets are like vegetable beds. They are all horizontal and vertical, but the streets in the south are all horizontal and vertical.

, but it is twists and turns. The direction changes due to rivers or other terrain, not to mention that there are several rivers in Nanjing city. This makes the streets even more twists and turns. The main roads are not straight.

At the beginning, even after the Qing army was defeated, Li Chengdong could still use his prestige to control thousands of troops below.

But even though the Xia army was as large as a city, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed in like a tide, covering almost all the streets in a dense manner.

Although there are still some people who have moved from other places in the city, Xia Jun is not friendly to them this time.

The reason is very simple. These people's buttocks are sitting on the side of the Qing court. Without the support of the people in the city, the Qing army's defense force would be several times greater. Moreover, the people of Nanjing City had been slaughtered before, and among the people killed

, many of them are family members of Xia army generals.

Therefore, in Zhang Xuan's propaganda, these people are naturally loyal ministers and righteous men. Then those who help the Qing army are naturally evil villains.

Even though there was no large-scale massacre, there were no such rules.

Generally speaking, when Zhang Xuan sent people into the city, he would assign generals to monitor military discipline. But this time, he ignored this point intentionally or unintentionally.

Therefore, when Xia Jun was fighting, they also let go of their hands and feet, and did not care about the people's property at all. Among these properties, the most valuable ones were houses. Many times when they were impatient, they would not follow the streets, but directly tore them out from the houses.

One way to go.

As a result, the city of Nanjing became even more chaotic.

Especially after dark, the visibility was low. Both the Xia Army and the Qing Army were separated. However, the Xia Army's military discipline was not bad. Most of the lower-level officers were trained and continued to advance in units of sentries or teams. Once

When encountering an enemy and hearing the cry of killing, the surrounding Xia troops will also surround them in response to the cry of killing.

Gao Yuanjue has always been at the front.

There are differences between people.

Gao Yuanjue has been severely trained by Gao Jie and Mrs.

After that, he changed his mind and began to indulge Gao Yuanjue.

After all, Gao Yuanjue is a child. Once he is let go, he will not be as good as a mad dog playing tricks and staying away from home all night long.

But after an accident, Gao Yuanjue changed his mind from

Xin picked up the martial arts that he had practiced since he was a child. Although he could not say that he was far superior to others, he was still very skilled in bow and horse. In addition, he had a desperate desire to avenge his parents, so he did not pay much attention to the new battalion under his command.

, just kept rushing forward, and wherever there was a cry to kill, he went to kill wherever he was, and the only command he had was to say, just follow him and kill.

What Gao Yuanjue did was seriously inconsistent with Zhang Xuan's requirements for an officer.

In Zhang Xuan's view, a battalion officer has already stepped into the threshold of a senior officer. He cannot rely on the bravery of an ordinary man. But Gao Yuanjue had never been exposed to military command when he was a child. After Gao Jie entered Nanjing, he did not want Gao Yuanjue to join the army.

I really want Gao Yuanjue to be raised among the dead just to show his loyalty to Luo Yulong.

Therefore, if Gao Yuanjue is asked to command a battalion of soldiers, Gao Yuanjue may not be qualified.

But by doing this, Gao Yuanjue won the morale of the army.

Although Zhang Xuan ordered the battalion officers to rush to the front and strictly forbid it, in the army, commanders who take the lead are the most respected. Gao Yuanjue has the title of Duke of the country, and he can do anything. In this life, just relying on this title alone, he can do anything.

He could have lived a life of glory and wealth, but he was already at the forefront, wanting to avenge his father. Everyone in the camp was a little dissatisfied with Gao Yuanjue's sudden airdrop, but now that he really wanted to take revenge, he felt more sympathy.

As mentioned before, from the court to the people, loyal ministers and filial sons are highly respected.

In this way, Gao Yuanjue had regained the morale of the army without knowing it. So Gao Yuanjue did not care.

Under the pursuit, Gao Yuanjue was one of the Xia troops who pursued the fastest. After nightfall, Gao Yuanjue rushed too fast, which also caused his own troops to separate front and rear. There was only one sentry horse following Gao Yuanjue.

The people were worried about Gao Yuanjue's fault, and they couldn't bear it. After all, he was a prince. However, Gao Yuanjue ignored it, and when he saw the fire in front of him, he rushed over. He was too familiar with the terrain of Nanjing, and within a moment, he passed a

Bridge, saw a group of Qing troops and a man among the Qing troops.

Under the light of several torches, a familiar face appeared. It was Li Chengdong.

When Gao Yuanjue saw this, his expression changed drastically and he said, "Thief Li, take your life."

He knew Li Chengdong. As Gao Jie's fresh subordinate, Gao Yuanjue had met Li Chengdong when he was young. At that time, Gao Yuanjue would call Li Chengdong uncle and regard Li Chengdong as one of his own. The relationship was quite good. Even after the Gao family arrived in Nanjing,

I also helped Li Chengdong many times.

There are constant contacts with each other.

But despite how good the relationship was before, Gao Yuanjue now felt so much hatred in his heart. At this moment, Gao Yuanjue wanted to eat Li Chengdong's flesh and sleep on his skin, tearing his body into pieces.

When Li Chengdong saw Gao Yuanjue, he was stunned at first. He didn't recognize Gao Yuanjue. Because in his impression, Gao Yuanjue was still a half-grown child, but he didn't know that the teenage years are the time when a person changes the most. Gao Yuanjue had already changed a lot.

He has grown from a half-grown child into a man.

It was natural that Li Chengdong didn't recognize him at first glance. He didn't seem to care who the visitor was, but he knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time. He thought to himself: "If I can't find Shi Tingzhu at the moment, I have to take one step first. Otherwise, after dawn, I want to

It is impossible to leave the city."

Although the Xia army has now entered Nanjing through several city gates, there are still several city gates under the control of the Qing army.

These Qing soldiers were panic-stricken and might be preparing to surrender to the Xia army. Some even abandoned the city gate and fled outside. The collapse of the Qing army also caused confusion among the civilians on the city wall and everyone else. Li Chengdong had already

Be prepared to abandon the army and flee.

Therefore, when he saw Xia Jun chasing after him, he did not resist, leaving a group of troops to resist, and went straight to the northeast, hoping to escape from Nanjing City from this place.

But how could Gao Yuanjue let Li Chengdong go? He said to the soldiers beside him: "The traitor in front is Li Chengdong. If you get his head, your Majesty will definitely have a generous reward. As long as you avenge me, no matter what your Majesty rewards, I will

I will give it to you all without taking any money, and I also ask you to give me a helping hand. After today, you will be my life and death brothers, Gao. As long as you can use me, I will definitely not refuse, otherwise in the future, I will be struck by five thunders from the sky and die from thousands of arrows.

Down."

"My lord, why is this so? We will listen to your lord." All the soldiers said in unison.

Gao Yuanjue immediately separated a group of troops to restrain Li Chengdong's remaining soldiers. He rushed over with the remaining soldiers and bit Li Chengdong's tail.

Li Chengdong had no intention of fighting and wanted to escape, so he actually galloped on the street.

You must know that the city of Nanjing is completely dark now.

It's not that there are no ordinary people in Nanjing City, but the ordinary people are very aware of it at this moment. They are all hiding. Even at home, they lock the doors and windows and close the doors. Let alone light the lights, they don't even dare to breathe.

Click. So in the dark night, apart from several fires caused by fighting, there were torches lit by soldiers from both sides.

As soon as the war horse starts running, there will be some light from the torches. It is almost like running around in darkness. This situation is quite dangerous.

When Gao Yuanjue saw this, he whipped his whip hard and stood on top of the horse under him, shouting loudly: "Drive." He risked his life today to keep Li Chengdong. If Li Chengdong dared to do it, Gao Yuanjue had nothing wrong with him.

Dare to do it.
