Chapter 798

The Han cavalry appeared behind the front line, and the dynasty's actions of attacking Zhu Youjian's ceremonial guard first triggered the Ming army's full escape.

The tide-like defeated soldiers fled in front of the Han cavalry. Three thousand iron cavalry rushed left and right in the red tide, as if they were entering a no-man's land.

None of the Ming soldiers dared to stay, and everyone had only one idea, which was to keep running westward.

The dynasty first led the cavalry, not just to chop and kill, but to gallop among the defeated soldiers like a pack of wolves, driving away, blocking, and dividing the defeated soldiers.

Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, like flocks of sheep, were driven to the riverside, surrounded by the Han army, and all surrendered.

Zhao Ming was full of energy and ordered loudly, "The cavalry did not care about the enemy that fled in the wild, and specifically killed the enemies that gathered together. The infantry followed behind and drove straight to Nanjing!"

Zheng Chenggong gathered his troops several times. As soon as more than a thousand people gathered, the Han cavalry rushed over. Before he could form a formation, he immediately dispersed.

After several times, the two of them lost their desire to gather their troops, and the Ming army completely lost confidence in resisting. They either fled westward or surrendered.

The Han soldiers confiscated the equipment and asked the Ming army to surrender, gathered together, squatted on the ground, and sent only a small number of people to monitor, and the army continued to pursue.

On the southern front, Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong were pressing against Tang Tong to attack. When they learned that the front main formation was disintegrated, they were shocked and looked deserted.

Jin Shenghuan was in the mirror of thousands of miles and saw Zhu Youjian's ceremonial retreat. In horror, he immediately led the army to retreat.

Li Chengdong's muscles twitched on his face, and he looked at the battlefield in a daze. After a while, his hand couldn't help but touch his chest. He remembered that in order to show his integrity, he rubbed the letters of the King of Han and threw them into the fire.

In the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, shouts of killing passed away, and there was still a faint smoke of gunpowder floating on the battlefield, and nearly 10,000 corpses of soldiers of the two armies were scattered on the ground.

At this time, a bunch of Ming army prisoners squatted on the ground, while the large group of Han soldiers carried muskets and continued to advance forward.

At this time, Zhao Ming's big banner had already arrived outside Nanjing City and above Zhongshan.

With the defeat of 200,000 Ming troops on the eastern front, the 100,000 Ming troops besieged the imperial city also retreated west in panic under the leadership of Du Yinxi.

In this battle, the Ming army suffered heavy losses, the balance of internal forces in the Ming Dynasty was completely defeated, and the Han Dynasty would become the overlord of the Ming Dynasty and create a new political pattern.

At this time, Zhao Ming stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the city of Nanjing where the tiger was entrenched and the dragon was filled with excitement.

There was a sound of footsteps next to him. Wang Shuang pressed the knife with one hand and held the helmet with the other, and said excitedly: "King, the enemy has collapsed across the board. Zhu Youjian, Zheng Chenggong, and Gao Yigong fled westward. The army of Du Yinxi in the city also collapsed westward. In addition, Jin Shenghuan from the south ran away, and Li Chengdong's commander surrendered at the foot of Baohua Mountain, claiming to want to serve the king!"

Zhao Ming held the handle of the knife, tightened his hand for a moment, and then let go: "Repeat the villain, I don't need him to serve. Let Tang Tong control him and seize his military power!"

Wang Shuang nodded and wrote it down, and then said: "Du Yinxi fled westward. Will the king enter the city and meet the emperor? The people in the city reported that the emperor left the palace city and came to Taiping Gate, as if he wanted to welcome the king himself."

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "I want to take advantage of the situation to pursue! Let Ruan Mei enter the city and take over the city defense!"

Next to Zhao Ming, Qian Qianyi and others smiled and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the world is finally in your hands."

Zhao Ming was in agitation, but his expression was as usual on his face, and he smiled faintly: "It's too early to say it! But he has taken a key step."

In the city of Nanjing, as Du Yinxi retreated, Zhang Mingzhen, Li Yuanyin and others took advantage of the situation to fight out. Jiangbei, who had originally surrendered, turned against each other, but most of them surrendered to Zhao Ming.

They surrendered to Longwu and continue to be loyal to Zhu Yihai. Zhu Yihai will inevitably feel resentful and will not trust them.

Furthermore, as long as you have a little political mind, you can see that Zhu Yihai's old capital has been completely destroyed, and the King of Han defeated Longwu and became the final winner. The Ming Dynasty will definitely be dominated by the King of Han in the future. After weighing the pros and cons, they naturally chose to surrender to the King of Han.

At this time, the Han army won a great victory and Nanjing rescued the siege, but Zhu Yihai was not happy.

The Han army repelled Zhu Youjian and resolved the crisis of the Jianwu Dynasty. But how should the Jianwu court reward him, a Han king who defeated the 300,000 troops of the Longwu Dynasty and occupied half of the territory of the Ming Dynasty?

This made Zhu Yihai feel deeply in crisis, but fortunately it solved the imminent crisis. As for how to get along with Zhao Ming in the future, we can only consider it in the future.

At this time, Zhu Yihai was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown on his head. He stood on the palace city and asked, "Where is the Han King's big flag?"

"Your Majesty, the Han King's Chronicle has arrived in Zhongshan!" said the Grand Secretary Fang Fengnian.

Zhu Yihai exhaled, "Have the Han army entered the city?"

"The vanguard will enter the Taiping Gate!" Fang Fengnian said: "I guess the King of Han will enter the city soon. Should Your Majesty send someone to summon him?"

Zhu Yihai shook his head, "The greatest contribution is to savior! The King of Han defeated the enemy and made great contributions to the court. I will go to greet him in person!"

At that moment, Zhu Yihai went down from the palace city and summoned all the ministers. Then, surrounded by a group of ministers and guards, he left the Taiping Gate and prepared to greet Zhao Ming in person.

Zhao Ming is now strong, and Zhu Yihai can only downgrade himself, hoping to stabilize Zhao Ming and protect the Zhu family's throne.

At this time, the group stood outside the city and waited for a while, but Zhao Ming did not come.

Zhu Yihai couldn't help but praise her face, and Zhang Mingzhen, who was standing beside her, also showed displeasure.

The emperor's ceremonial guard was outside the Taiping Gate, and the Han army must have informed Zhao Ming, and it took only two quarters of an hour to get to Taiping Gate, but Zhu Yihai and his group stood for an hour, but Zhao Ming had not yet seen him come.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Bo'an is so rude!" Zhang Mingzhen complained.

Zhu Yihai smiled, "The King of Han defeated the enemy and his military affairs were busy, perhaps because he was delayed. What's the matter if I waited for a while!"

Zhu Yihai kept smiling, but the atmosphere gradually changed among the crowd, and many ministers began to whisper.

Half an hour later, Zhao Ming had not yet arrived at Taiping Gate. At this moment, Li Yuanyin galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the King of Han is going to pursue the enemy!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and Zhu Yihai was furious.

The dispute between Tang and Lu lasted for two years. Zhu Yihai's strength was greatly damaged and he was no longer able to rule the world.

Zhao Ming's Han Dynasty was powerful, so Zhu Yihai wanted to use Zhao Ming's power to stabilize the Wu court and shock the warlords from all directions.

For this reason, he went out of the city to greet Zhao Ming himself, hoping to create a scene of harmony between the king and the minister for everyone to see.

At that time, as long as Zhao Ming bows him, he will help Zhao Ming up. With this picture, the ministers will be at ease. Zhu Yihai will be able to use the power of the Han army to recruit Longwu and re-establish his own power.

However, Zhao Ming knew that he was in Taiping Gate, but he avoided him and went to pursue the defeated army.

Zhao Ming asked him to wait for more than an hour, left him at Taiping Gate, and immediately sent a signal to everyone and the world.

Zhang Mingzhen was furious when he heard this, "Your Majesty has been waiting here for nearly two hours. What does Zhao Ming mean?"

Zhu Yihai's muscles tugged on his face and smiled unnaturally: "Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong, it's important to pursue the defeated soldiers!"

Zhu Yihai didn't know how stiff his smile was, but he just kept waving, "This is my inconsideration. You can't blame the King of Han. You all follow me back to the city and wait for the King of Han to return triumphantly!"
