Chapter 95 Want to die in Nanjing
After the Dongcheng was occupied by the Qing army, the Qing soldiers quickly cleared the bricks and stones and soil in the doorway. The city gate was creaking and opened. A large number of Qing soldiers held up their swords and rushed into the city one after another.
For a moment, the noise spread throughout the city. The Ming soldiers who were still resisting in the city became terrified when they realized the city was broken.
"General, the East City has fallen, the Qing army has entered the city!" A hundred households covered in blood rushed to Ma Shiao and cried in pain.
Ma Shiao asked anxiously: "Where is the Pavilion?"
"The Pavilion is in the city tower, and the city tower has been occupied by the Qing army, and it should have fallen into the hands of the Qing army!" Baihu cried bitterly: "The city is over, and we are all over!"
Ma Shiao looked sad, but then calmed down and said, "No, the city is over, but we can't finish it. We have to leave some seeds. The Wuwei Army cannot let the Qing army stew it in one pot."
Before the Qing army siege the city, Ma Shiying discussed with Ma Shiao and planned to select some people to go to the south bank and preserve some fire.
After all, the struggle between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty will last for a long time, and people cannot die all.
Ma Shiying was preparing to draw backs and send them across the river to Zhao Ming, but at this critical moment, no one was willing to leave the robes and live a life of his own. The few people he selected were unwilling to leave. In addition, the backs were sent away, which would affect the combat effectiveness of the defenders, so he would do it in the end.
Now that the city has been broken, it is no longer meaningful to continue to stick to it. Ma Shiao remembered this matter again and hurriedly said to the Baihu: "Li Taizhen, you can take people to break through immediately and return to the south bank. I will cut off the rear!"
But the hundred households did not accept the order, "General, please take back Cheng's mission. If you don't leave, you will leave! There is no one in the home of the Pavilion. The general is the only hope of the Ma family in Liping. The general must leave. There are brothers in a certain family!"
"General, let's go!" The Ma family relative next to him knelt on the ground and said in unison: "We are willing to cut off the rear and protect the general from the city!"
At this moment, a large number of Qing troops were approaching. Li Taizhen stood up, drew his sword in his hand, roared, and rushed into the Qing army with dozens of soldiers.
Ma Shiao was filled with tears, "Why are you doing this?"
The servants around him walked back while waving his knife to block the arrows and said anxiously: "God, please go quickly, don't let your brothers die in vain!"
The city has been broken, and it is meaningless to continue to stick to it. Ma Shiao's eyes were red and he moved his feelings. He broke free from the help of his relatives and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, break through the south gate, and keep the fire!"
...
On the south bank of the Fuchun River, the Ming soldiers were nervously deploying defenses. Once Fuyang fell, the Qing army could initiate a forced transit without any scruples. With more than 8,000 soldiers, it was almost impossible to stick to the defense line.
Zhang Mingzhen stood under the banner and used the Qianli Miles to observe the city on the other side. When he heard the shouts of killing spreading into the city, he couldn't help but put down the Qianli Miles and sighed, "Fuyang City is in its invasion, let the soldiers be prepared to fight the Qing army!"
Zhang Mingzhen couldn't help feeling sad when he saw the smoke on the other side of the city. "Ma Shiying is not the one who saves the times, but his integrity is not bad, and he cannot be considered a traitor or evil person."
After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around, but the general next to him suddenly pointed at the river and said anxiously: "Master, someone rushed out of the city!"
Zhang Mingzhen hurriedly picked up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile, and indeed saw several small boats coming towards the south bank. At the same time, two teams of Qing soldiers were carrying small boats, preparing to intercept them.
Seeing this, Zhang Mingzhen was delighted and immediately ordered: "Tell Ruan Jin to come and pick him up and take the soldiers back!"
The Ming army immediately drove a small boat northward, fired the Qing army's boat with bows, arrows, bird guns, and picked up Ma Shiao and his group out.
More than 2,000 military guards broke out, and almost everyone was injured.
As soon as they got ashore, Taizhou soldiers brought food and water. The guards took it and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Since they escaped from Nanjing, they have followed Ma Shiying, rolled their eyes everywhere and were not favored. Now they have taken the food handed over by friendly troops and immediately vented their grievances.
When the soldiers around Taizhou saw him, the soldiers of the Wuwei Army were crying bitterly, and they couldn't help but be moved.
...
In Fuyang's lonely city, the loss is expected, and the question is just when it can be solved.
At first Duoduo thought that five hundred flag soldiers could be taken down with one charge and he could spend the night in the city, but in the end he invested nearly 10,000 Qing troops, killing and wounding hundreds of people before he captured the city.
Although Ma Shiying's servants' equipment is quite excellent, they are like imperial guards in the court, and they have never been on the battlefield much.
Two thousand people could not stop the 30,000 Eight Banners soldiers. When Ma Shiying chose to stay, he was ready to die for his country.
After the Qing army poured into the East City, the Ming army, which had lost the protection of the city, was soon completely defeated by the Qing army. Ma Shiying was captured, with less than a hundred soldiers of two thousand soldiers. He broke through the south gate and fled to the south bank with Zhang Mingzhen's support.
When the Qing army pulled out the city, Duoduo's face showed a hint of joy. While he ordered his subordinates to make a raft and prepare to force the ferry, he also rode a horse into the city to check the results of the battle.
At this time, Tu Lai then tied Ma Shiying and more than ten Ming army prisoners to Duoduo.
"Prince, I am fortunate to be a servant who has survived his fate. He has captured the city and captured the fake Ming Dynasty chief assistant Ma Shiying!" Tu Lai saluted Duoduo and beat Qian'er.
Duoduo rode on his mount and looked down at Ma Shiying wearing the Ming Dynasty official robe, and couldn't help but sneer, "You assisted the fake Fu King. The fake Fu King was captured. You supported Lu Fan and Lu Fan surrendered to our Qing Dynasty. Today, the city was destroyed, but you surrendered. Could it be that you want to surrender to our Qing Dynasty?"
Duoduo has always looked down on the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, and most of these people are corrupt.
Ma Shiying looked up at Duoduo, and said calmly on his face: "I have to surrender, but I want to die! I am the chief assistant of Hongguang, and the country will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed!"
Duoduo frowned slightly, a little puzzled, "Since you are seeking death, why don't you stop yourself? You have to surrender to my army. Are you not afraid that I will cut you off?"
Ma Shiying said: "This place is not where I die. I want to die in Nanjing so as not to know whether I die or not. The world is not aware of it, so I come to the army!"
Duoduo was a little surprised. Ma Shiying fled continuously, obviously because he was afraid of death, but why are he not afraid of death now?
After the shaving order, Duoduo vaguely noticed a slight change in his heart, but he still couldn't tell where the change was.
But he insisted on summing up a few points, and Duoduo could also say a few points. The key point is that there seem to be more people who are not afraid of death.
Duoduo narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. He was not afraid of death. Then he killed until the barbarian was afraid. He sneered, "Hmph, I will fulfill your wish! Take it to Nanjing and cut it into pieces!"
After saying that, Duoduo waved his hand and the Eight Banners soldiers took Ma Shiying away.
Ma Shiying's behavior was beyond Duoduo's expectations, which made Duoduo feel uncomfortable. He looked at the captured Ming army again and suddenly said, "If you surrender, you will be spared from death!"
None of the Ming soldiers responded, and all bowed their heads and said nothing.
Duoduo hoped to see these prisoners, kneeling down to thank him, waving his tail and begging for mercy. After waiting for a while, no one of the dozen Ming soldiers tied up behind him responded.
Duoduo was furious when he saw this. Tu Lai immediately pulled out someone and shouted sternly, "Your Majesty asks you, will you surrender?"
The soldiers refused to answer, Tu Lai was furious and killed him with a knife, and then asked another person, "Will you surrender?"
"If you don't surrender, you are willing to follow the Pavilion to die!" The Ming soldiers replied.
Tu Lai was furious and beheaded him again, and then ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to kneel on the ground and asked afterwards, "If you surrender, you will not surrender, and those who surrender will not die!"
"Don't surrender!" The captured Ming army continued to reply, and was beheaded again.
More than a dozen prisoners were killed, and none of them surrendered.
Duoduo's face was extremely gloomy, and he began to realize that the southern barbarians who he thought were very weak might not be weak, and that there might be extremely terrifying power hidden in their bodies.
This made Duoduo further realize that the enemy of the Qing army had changed. It was no longer a warlord like Guanning and Zuozhen, but a group of people with firm beliefs. Such people might be defeated, but they would never be conquered.
Thinking of this, Duoduo couldn't help but feel annoyed...
