Chapter 796: Nanjing Lifts the Siege


The cavalry of the Han army appeared behind the line, and the act of the dynasty first attacked Zhu Yujian's guard of honor, triggering the rout of the Ming army.The tide-like rout, running in front of the Han cavalry, three thousand iron horsemen rode in the red tide, rushing left and right, as if entering a no-man's land.No one in the Ming army dared to stay, and everyone had only one thought, which was to keep fleeing to the west.The dynasty led the cavalry first, not only about slashing and killing, but like wolves, galloping in the midst of the rout, driving, blocking, and dividing the rout.Tens of thousands of routed soldiers, like sheep, were driven to the riverside, surrounded by the Han army, and all disarmed and surrendered.Zhao Ming was in high spirits, and ordered loudly, "The cavalry should not care about the fleeing enemy in the wilderness, and specialize in raiding the gathered enemy, and the infantry army will follow up in the rear and drive directly to Nanjing!"

”Zheng Chenggong and Gao Yigong gathered soldiers and horses several times, and as soon as they gathered more than 1,000 people, the cavalry of the Han army rushed over.After several times, the two gave up the idea of gathering soldiers and horses, and the Ming army completely lost the confidence to resist, either fleeing westward or disarming and surrendering.The Han soldiers, collected the equipment, let the Ming army surrender, gathered together, squatted on the ground, and only sent a small number of men and horses to monitor, and the army continued to pursue.On the southern front, Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong were pressing Tang Tong's attack, and when they learned that the main front formation had collapsed, they were immediately shocked.Jin Shenghuan was in the clairvoyant mirror, and when he saw Zhu Yujian's guard of honor retreating, he was frightened and immediately led the army to retreat.The muscles on Li Chengdong's face twitched, he looked at the battlefield in a daze, half loud, and his hand couldn't help but touch his chest, only to remember that when he was about to fight, in order to show his integrity, he rubbed the letter of the King of Han and threw it into the fire.In the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, the shouts of killing have passed, and the battlefield is still wafting with faint gunsmoke, and the corpses of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the two armies are scattered on the ground.At this time, a string of Ming prisoners squatted on the ground, and the Han soldiers of the brigade continued to advance with muskets on their shoulders.At this time, Zhao Ming had already arrived outside the city of Nanjing, on Zhongshan Mountain.With the defeat of the 200,000 Ming troops on the eastern front, the 100,000 Ming troops besieging the imperial city also retreated westward in panic under the leadership of Du Yinxi.In this battle, the Ming army suffered heavy losses, the balance of power within the Ming Dynasty was completely broken, and the Han State would become the overlord of the Ming Dynasty, creating 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 standing on the dragon, and his heart was agitated.There was a sound of footsteps next to him, Wang Shuang pressed the knife in one hand, and came up with the helmet in the other, and said excitedly: "King, the enemy army has collapsed on all fronts, Zhu Yujian, Zheng Chenggong, and Gao Yigong have fled westward, and the army blocking Yinxi in the city has also collapsed in the west.In addition, Jin Shenghuan ran away in the south, and Li Chengdong's command surrendered at the foot of Baohua Mountain, claiming that he wanted to serve the king!

”Zhao Ming held down the handle of the knife, his hand tightened, and after a moment, he let go and said: "Repeated villain, this king doesn't need him to serve."

Let Tang Tong control him and take away his military power!

”Wang Shuang nodded and wrote it down, and then said: "Blocking Yin Xi and fleeing westward, will the king enter the city and meet the emperor?"

The people in the city reported that the emperor went out of the palace and came to look at the Taiping Gate, as if he wanted to greet the king in person. ”Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Lone wants to take advantage of the situation to pursue!"

Let Nguyen Mei enter the city and take over the city defense!

”Beside Zhao Ming, Qian Qianyi and the others smiled and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the world is finally in your hands." ”Zhao Ming's heart was agitated, but his face was as usual, and he smiled lightly: "It's too early to say!"

But it was a crucial step. ”In the city of Nanjing, with the retreat of Plug Yinxi, Zhang Mingzhen, Li Yuanyin and others immediately took advantage of the situation to kill, and Jiangbei, which had originally surrendered, defected one after another, but most of them took refuge in Zhao Ming.They surrendered to Longwu and now continue to be loyal to Zhu Yihai, Zhu Yihai will inevitably have a grudge and will not trust them.Moreover, as long as you have a little political acumen, you can see that Zhu Yihai's old book has been wiped out, and the king of Han defeated Longwu and became the final winner, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely be dominated by the king of Han in the future, and after they weigh the pros and cons, they naturally choose to take refuge in the king of Han.At this time, the Han army won a great victory and Nanjing was relieved, but Zhu Yihai was not happy.The Han army repelled Zhu Yujian and relieved the crisis of the Jianwu Dynasty, but a Han king who defeated the 300,000 army of the Longwu Dynasty and occupied half of the territory of the Ming Dynasty today, how should the Jianwu court reward him?

This made Zhu Yihai feel a deep crisis, but fortunately, the imminent crisis was solved, and as for how to get along with Zhao Ming in the future, he could only think about it in the future.At this time, Zhu Yihai was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown, standing on the palace city, and asked, "Where is the Han King?"

”"Your Majesty, King Han Daxu has arrived in Zhongshan!"

University scholars are on the road to the New Year.Zhu Yihai exhaled, "Has the Han army entered the city?"

”"The striker enters the Taiping Gate!"

Fang Fengnian said: "Presumably, King Han will enter the city soon, should Your Majesty send someone to summon him!"

”Zhu Yihai shook his head, "There is no greater merit than the Savior!"

The King of Han has broken the enemy army, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court, and I will personally go to meet him!

”At that moment, Zhu Yihai went down to the palace, gathered all the ministers, and then surrounded by a group of ministers and guards, he went out of the Taiping Gate and prepared to greet Zhao Ming in person.Zhao Ming is now strong, and Zhu Yihai can only surrender his identity, hoping to stabilize Zhao Ming and protect the Zhu family.At this time, the group stood outside the city and waited for a while, but they didn't see Zhao Ming coming.Zhu Yihai's face couldn't help but praise, and Zhang Mingzhen on the side was also unhappy.The emperor's guard of honor was outside the Taiping Gate, and the Han army must have informed Zhao Ming, and it was only two quarters of an hour for Zhongshan to arrive at the Taiping Gate, but Zhu Yihai and his party stood for an hour and did not see Zhao Ming coming."

Your Majesty, Zhao Boan is too rude!"

Zhang Mingzhen complained.Zhu Yihai smiled, "King Han defeated the enemy army, and the military affairs were busy, maybe it was delayed, what does it matter if I wait for a while!"

”Zhu Yihai kept smiling, but among the crowd, the atmosphere gradually changed, and many ministers began to whisper.After another half an hour, Zhao Ming still hadn't arrived at the Taiping Gate, and at this moment, Li Yuanyin galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the King of Han has pursued the enemy!"

”Everyone was in an uproar, and Zhu Yihai was furious in his heart.The Tang-Lu controversy lasted for two years, and Zhu Yihai's strength was greatly damaged, and he was no longer able to rule the world.Zhao Ming's Han State was strong, and Zhu Yihai wanted to use Zhao Ming's power to stabilize the Jianwu court and deter the warlords of the Quartet.For this reason, he personally went out of the city to greet Zhao Ming, just to create a scene of harmony between the monarch and the minister for everyone to see.At that time, as long as Zhao Ming gives him a bow, he will help Zhao Ming up again, relying on this picture, he can make the courtiers feel at ease, and Zhu Yihai will be able to use the power of the Han army to appease the forces of Longwu and re-establish his own forces.However, Zhao Ming knew that he was in Taipingmen, but he avoided it and went to chase the defeated army.Zhao Ming asked him to wait for more than an hour, hung him in Taipingmen, and immediately released 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 face twitched, and he smiled unnaturally: "It's nothing, it's okay, it's important to pursue and defeat the army!"

”Zhu Yihai didn't know how stiff his smile was, he just kept waving his hand, "This is my lack of consideration, I can't blame King Han, Zhu Qing returned to the city with me, waiting for King Han's triumphant return!"

”After finishing speaking, Zhu Yihai got into the carriage, and his face suddenly collapsed, extremely gloomy.()
