Chapter 123 Yangzhou, our Yangzhou(1/3)

Finally, he repelled another attack from the Qing army. His thin body seemed to be useless, as if he was exhausted. Shi Kefa leaned against the stone pile, and saw all his eyes were broken limbs and broken arms and the smoke that was inexpressible.

The Qing army's offensive was unprecedentedly fierce, and it attacked the city several times, and was even so critical that Shi Kefa personally waved his sword to fight. Finally, he drove the Qing army down with the reputation of more than a hundred good men.

The tall city, which had always been impregnable, was also attacked with two gaps. The Qing army once attacked the city, and it was all up to the deputy general Shi Dewei to fight bravely. After fighting bravely, he barely bombed the Qing army out.

After the Qing army retreated, Shi Dewei didn't even have time to report the losses and was ganging up soldiers and civilians to block the broken city wall.

Most of the defenders in Cheng Shang have been injured several times, especially those archers. Because of the long-term control of strings, their arms have been sore and numb that they cannot bend and stretched, and their fingers have been curled up and cannot be stretched. They are rubbing their hands on their bodies hard to make the blood flow as soon as possible...

The wounded soldiers who had not yet withdrawn were surviving among the various squadrons, especially those seriously injured, no longer requested someone to come for treatment. They moved a few times to maintain a relatively comfortable position and looked back in the city. They seemed to be looking for their own home, and then closed their eyes with satisfaction to wait for the arrival of death.

There were not many medical officials left. If they could move a little, they would tear their clothes and wrap themselves up. As for whether they could survive the next time the Qing army attacked the city, they no longer cared about it.

Life and death on the battlefield are only a moment, and the strong man with fierce dragon spirits and tigers may have a splatter of blood in the blink of an eye. I have seen too many such situations, and the blow is already numb to death.

No one said that loyalty would serve the country and the court, or that they would talk about preserving the land in Jiangbei. Such a great principle was something that loyal ministers thought like Shi Tushi. Everyone thought more about the wives, children, and the warm home behind them. As long as the wives and aunts at home were not bullied, as long as the children at home did not become slaves to foreign tribes, they would not be unfair even if they died in the city of Yangzhou!

Go to his damn bullshit court, go to his damn Qianqiu loyalty, I sacrifice my life for the home behind me.

Now that the battle has gone on, Shi Kefa no longer calls for loyalty and righteousness of the king and his subjects, nor does he have to find ways to inspire morale. What supports these soldiers’ bloody battles to this day is no longer a great reputation, but the simplest survival. If you want not to be a slave to a foreign tribe and to be a noble descendant, you have to continue to fight.

The surrounding iron barrels on all sides are already hard to cross. At this time, no one has ever said anything about retreating. Now, if you want to retreat, you have no way out, and you can only fight to the end.

The city is broken, the sword is broken, the gun is broken, the bullet is gone, and the support is gone. This is Yangzhou.

Whether the broken city can resist the enemy's attack again depends on God's intention. After this day's fierce battle, the ammunition was almost exhausted, and the Divine Power Copper Cannon, which has always been relied on by Yangzhou, will soon become a decoration.

All these favorable conditions were consumed by the powerful city cannon.

The people who were looking forward to the king's army a few days ago have long given up.

Reinforcements? There will be no more.

Even if the court immediately set off an army to help, it would be too late.

Now, it is difficult to support more for a day. When the small court remembers it, I am afraid that Yangzhou will not be left with dust.

The sun is far away, and the red clouds are like fire, reflecting half of the sky.

"The letter from Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty to Yangzhou: Hongguang's fake dynasty abandoned the Left Rebellion, but actually abandoned Yangzhou. Since the war, many people buried their corpses were unable to see them. I hope that the commanders of Yangzhou will observe the world's fortunes, present the city as soon as possible, and break up the land and impose the scriptures of Pingxi.

The military commander of Yangzhou is only known as a famous leader, but is actually known as a million people in Yangzhou. All the soldiers have known it.

How can one take it if the power of heaven is unpredictable? If you are slow to know the favorability and rebellion, even if you can't bear it, it will be difficult to keep Yangzhou.

Heavenly soldiers are everywhere, and they will not be enfeoffed for ten days. The historians have a family of one surname and a family of one surname. The Yangzhou Hecheng has a million cities. The historians are willing to consider themselves.

Tomorrow, look forward to the echo and do not miss yourself.”

Before the Qing army retreated, they once again shot letters of persuasion to surrender onto the city.

The Qing army knew that Shi Kefa could not surrender, so they focused on the soldiers of Yangzhou, made a promise to break the land and enclose the border, and took the example of Wu Sangui.

While tempting it, he threatened it with words that he would not seal the sword for ten days.

Shi Kefa is a little worried about temptation and threat.

If Yangzhou City is broken, what about the 800,000 people in the city? Does Duoduo really want to massacre the city?

If the Qing army massacred the city...

Shi Kefa broke out in a cold sweat.

night.

Many people rushed to the front line of the city, either paying their deceased relatives with wine or visiting their injured father and brother with their children, crying or complaining about the sadness of their lives...

This situation will most hurt morale. If it would not have happened normally, but now everyone can see that Yangzhou is in danger and falls only in the evening. The generals and officials will no longer organize them, so that these soldiers who have fought bloody battles will meet their relatives.

Perhaps after tonight, it will be difficult for heaven and man to see each other again.

Even Shi Dewei acquiesced to this situation, but he didn't dare to tell Shi Kefa. If Shi had let him know, he would definitely chase these old, young, women and children down with a strong face.

"The general's affairs were discussed by the general." Shi Kefa's personal soldiers came to pass on the news.

Now there is an emergency in Yangzhou of 100,000. The supervisor summoned him and could not delay it for a moment. Shi Dewei hurried to go.

"Sir, call me?"

There was only Shi Kefa in the huge room, and his figure became increasingly thin. Because of the rear light, Shi Kefa's figure was extremely long and almost occupied half of the room. Shi Dewei was completely submerged in Shi Kefa's figure.

"This is Duoduo's book of persuasion..." Shi Kefa regarded Shi Dewei as his son and nephew, and spoke much easier and handed the book of persuasion to the deputy general.

Shi Kefa didn't see the Qing army's letter of persuasion of surrender several times? He always burned it immediately without reading it, so as to make it clear that he would stick to Yangzhou's ambition. Why did he read the letter of persuasion of surrender today?

"The Qing army shot a large number of letters onto the city wall, and I knew something was strange..."

The Qing army persuaded surrender every day, but in the past, there were very few books of persuasion, only five or seven times a day. Today, it is spread around regardless of east, west, south, north and north, which is indeed a bit different.

"The supervisor means..."

"Duoduo knew that I would not surrender, but he still did this. I am afraid that someone who is not smart..."

Shi Kefa will not surrender, which does not mean that everyone will not surrender.

This is also the intention of Duoduo, using threats and temptations to lure the unstable group of people in Yangzhou City to disintegrate and divide.

Shi Dewei immediately understood the commander's meaning: "I'll wait for people to inspect now, in case someone can't stand the temptation of the Tartars..."

That night, Shi Dewei did not sleep for a moment, patrolling around and closely monitoring the movements in the city.

"Yangzhou... Hey, it seems that I can't hold it anymore. Not only do I have to fight with the Tartars outside the city, but I also have to beware of the appearance of insiders inside. How can I defend this situation?"

Just when Shi Kefa was strictly guarding the situation, there was still a big chaos in Yangzhou City.

On this night, Li Qifeng, the second-in-commander in Yangzhou, and Gao Qifeng, the deputy envoy of the third-in-commander in the army, actually led his troops out of the city to surrender to the enemy.

The two of them wanted to capture Shi Kefa as the surrender of Duoduo, but Shi Dewei strengthened his vigilance on this night. They thought Shi Kefa had noticed it and dared not delay it anymore, so they went out of the city to surrender that night.

"Li, how many people did Gao Er take away?"

"It's less than four thousand."

After learning this news, Shi Kefa did not show much shock and anger. Instead, he became calm and composed, looking at Shi Dewei with a rare kind look: "I have no descendants. You have followed you for many years and have the same surname as me. I am determined to accept you as my son and enter the genealogy. What do you want?"

Shi Kefa's character and integrity were the most admired by Shi Dewei. He suddenly heard this and felt warm in his heart and immediately fell to the ground, saying that he respected his father.

"My son stood aside and waited..." As he spoke, Shi Kefa hurriedly wrote two letters and handed them to Shi Dewei: "These two letters were sent to my wife and my mother respectively. Let me go out immediately after this night. If I can be lucky enough to go out..."

"Go out? Then the supervisor..."

Li Gao and his two surrendered to the enemy, and the troops in the city were already short of enough troops. Shi Dewei could not have expected that the supervisor would let himself leave the city at this critical moment: "Yangzhou lacks manpower..."

"Yangzhou is no longer able to be defended. The city is broken only a matter of time sooner or later. Gao and Li led their troops to surrender to the enemy to make Yangzhou fall faster." In fact, Shi Kefa had long seen through Yangzhou's death. The only hope was that the battle in Yangzhou could be delayed and then wait for reinforcements from the court to come to rescue the siege. The situation was not so rapid that the situation was not expected by Shi Kefa. He did not expect that the court would really ignore Jiangbei and wait for Yangzhou to persevere and not save or help.

He was completely desperate for this court. Shi Kefa, who had always been loyal and righteous, could even understand the mood of Li Gao and his two men when they surrendered to the enemy: the court was so disappointing."

Li Gao and his two can surrender to the enemy, but Shi Kefa cannot, and they cannot.

Being taught by the saints, one will uphold the great fortune of all ages. Especially those things that are kings, ministers and ministers are a hurdle that he will never overcome. In Shi Kefa's view, no matter what, the court or court, ministers or ministers will never be changed.

"It's time for me to be loyal to the court, and I will do this. You will do it for me to be filial to my knees." At this time, Shi Kefa has expressed his true feelings: "You can escape by chance, but you can take my first wife and mother to hide in the mountains and forests, or stay away from overseas. Never mention it to outsiders that I am my descendant. And you must not be a child of the Qing people..."

This is already Shi Kefa's dying instructions.

Shi Dewei Wu Neilen was heartbroken: "I am willing to die in Yangzhou with the governor."

"I am alone and life alone, it is enough to repay the court, and you don't need to take your life." Shi Kefa looked at Shi Dewei carefully, his face full of kindness: "Li, Gao and others surrender to the enemy, and Yangzhou Xushi Duoduo has known everything we can. Our army is so weak, tomorrow, the Qing army will do its best to attack Tongsi Gate. At that time, you can escape from the water gate at the east gate or the south gate. Go and prepare..."

Shi Dewei's eyes turned red, and Shi Kefa no longer had a calm and composed expression, but wandered back and forth in the anxious house, muttering nervously: "If the Qing soldiers massacre the city...If the Qing soldiers massacre the city..."

"Su Wujie, Li Ling rebelled, Su Wujie, Li Ling rebelled..." Shi Kefa repeatedly muttered this sentence. He finally understood the profound meaning.

Su Wu kept the Hu in a stern manner for nineteen years and was able to make a decision to keep the sternness easily; Li Ling was also considering the soldiers under his command...

How can loyalty and treacherous be so easy to do?

"If the Qing soldiers slaughtered the city, 800,000 creatures in Yangzhou would be destroyed." Shi Kefa depressed and weakly put on the chair: "How should I choose the eight hundred thousand creatures and loyal ministers?"

The next day.

South of the city.

"Dog Tartar, give grandpa something delicious." The left shoulder was injured by a cold arrow, and the wound was like a child's mouth, and half of his arms dyed red in an instant.

This pain is insignificant to Ding Yi, who is like a giant bear, and he can stab him as soon as he doesn't even look at him.

In theory, as Ding Yi's current battalion officer, he could be in charge of command. However, the most powerful man in the army to die was still personally dressed up and became the vanguard among the vanguards. The vanguard among the vanguards, and the vanguard among the vanguards was the first to vanguards.

The Forzi Battalion in the army that went to the death was large and small, and it happened to be a system of ten battalions, all named after the numbers of the heavenly stems. The Ding Yi battalion is the fourth battalion - the Ding character camp.

Compared with the regular number of the Ding Battalion, the troops who went to the death were more accustomed to calling the Fourth Battalion the Wild Boar Camp.

The Ding Battalion is an important assault force in the army to die. The whole camp is full of strong men who are about the same as Ding Yi. He is a tall horse and dares to fight to the death, especially when charging head-on, his enthusiasm for playing life is as unstoppable as the big wild boar's struggle.

When Ding Yi fights, he rarely pays attention to any tactics. He is best at just one word - rush.

As soon as the Ding camp rushed forward, it was completely irrelevant to move forward bravely, and never give up until the enemy was completely killed.

This battle was followed by Zhongcheng Bo himself. Li Si, who was like a god, was urging him behind his butt. Dingziying had the intention of poking two big holes into the sky. No matter how he wanted to let Zhongcheng Bo know that Dingziying was the number one strong soldier to the death.

Because the two veteran camps, A character camp and B character camp, are directly under Li Si, Lu Jian's B character camp and Ding Yi's D character camp became the pioneers of the way.

The two vanguard battalions are like two sharp tips of a fork. The ones that are sandwiched are Fu Er's Blind Iron Cannon Battalion, and behind them are the main battalions under Li Si's own control.
To be continued...
