Chapter 520 Nanjing!
The Liang army units rushed up the field and rushed towards the left army that was in chaos.
Around Gao Huan, countless Liang troops shouted and charged forward.
At this time, Gao Huan said to Liu Heita, who was guarding beside him: "Care my banner and rush forward!"
"I obey the order!" Liu Heita was overjoyed when he heard the order, took a military flag, and then said passionately to his subordinates: "Brothers, Zuo Zhen is finished! Everyone follows me and capture Zuo Liangyu alive!"
"Catch Zuo Liangyu alive! Capture Zuo Liangyu alive! Capture Zuo Liangyu alive!" Hundreds of elite guards raised their arms and shouted with great morale!
Seeing this, Liu Heita immediately unfolded the flag and then led more than 300 elite guards to rush out like a tiger.
When the Liang army, who was attacking in the wild, saw the military flag, he immediately moved closer to Liu Heita and launched an earth-shaking charge.
"Gao Huan is here! Run!"
When the soldiers of the left army saw the military flag, they immediately exclaimed and dispersed.
Gao Huan fought for several years and was famous, especially the battle between Shuanggou and Ji, which was even more famous all over the world.
For a time, on the vast battlefield, wherever Gao Huan's battle flag went, the morale of the Liang army rose and the morale of the Zuo army collapsed.
Whenever the flag went, the left army there exclaimed and fled.
"The army is defeated like a mountain! The entire Liang army attacked! King, run away!" Many left generals under the Zuo Army's Daqiu were completely panicked and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Run? Where can I run now?" Zuo Liangyu smiled miserably.
Seeing this, Xu Yong could only join a few generals, and without saying a word to pull Zuo Liangyu's reins, wrapping him in the chaos and fleeing eastward.
Now that the Liang army crosses the river and the left army is defeated, it is best to withdraw to Wuchang. However, Gao Huan had already considered it. He came from the west. The Liang army blocked the left army's way to escape west, and the left army could only flee eastward.
The 170,000 left army disintegrated before it even opened.
Faced with the defeated Left Army soldiers all over the mountains, the Liang army was also blind and could only pick up big fish to catch them.
"Catch Zuo Liangyu alive! Capture Zuo Liangyu alive!" Liang troops from various departments shouted loudly, chasing the Zuo Army's big flag to the east.
Many Zuojun, who were striking, saw the Liang army chasing Zuo Liangyu, fled south.
When Xu Yong led the defeated soldiers and hugged Zuo Liangyu to run towards Nanjing, Jin Shenghuan led his men and horses to flee south.
The defeat was like a mountain of fallen. When the 170,000 left army was still in the form of a marching force, it was defeated by the Liang army. Many left army who had just arrived on the battlefield were confusedly surrounded by the chaos and retreated backwards before they could figure out the situation.
They had to run away because behind the defeated soldiers was the Liang army's Red Horse Army, who were galloping, and they were storming with thousands of horses.
Cover the killing! This is what any army wants to do. It will mean that one side will be defeated, while the other side can reap ruthlessly, and the defeated soldiers without any resistance.
Now that the left army is running with two legs, how can we drink the four-legged cavalry?
At this time, on the battlefield west of Dasheng Pass, the Left Army retreated and defeated, and the forty or fifty miles leading to Nanjing would become an unforgettable nightmare for the Left Army.
That night, in the western suburbs of Nanjing.
The residents of the town are still talking about the daytime soldiers.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the town, and someone shouted: "No! It's time for the troops again!"
After hearing this, the people in the town hurriedly closed the door again, and only heard the dense footsteps outside. The big left army passed by the town again, which was even more urgent than during the day.
"What's going on? Zuo Bing seemed to have defeated the war!" The people in the town couldn't help but talk.
At this time, it seemed to be to confirm the people's speculation. After the chaotic footsteps, a sudden burst of horse hooves came. Then I heard the left army shouting in panic, "Run! Liang Bing is catching up again!"
"Liang Bing?" The people in the town heard the sound and their faces flushed.
When the man in the town heard that Liang Bing came, many brave ones immediately took a kitchen knife from home and wanted to beat the dog in the water.
Seeing this, Liang Bing, who was pursuing, hurriedly stopped the people's kindness. What's the point of coaxing in the dark? Is it okay to be killed by accident?
At that moment, Xu Heihu ordered the people to rest in the village, then go to bed, and not go out, and then lead the cavalry and chase eastward.
At this time, the people in the town saw Liang army walking away and sighed for the head of the head. This was the army of the people, and they couldn't help but shake their heads, "The remaining people burst into tears in the dust, and look south to the royal army for another year. The Liang army finally came back. Everyone followed me to prepare food to reward the army!"
On the banks of the Qinhuai River, Nanjing Dongcheng.
The Qinhuai River shrouded in night is pitch black, and the brothels and pleasure boats that were originally active here have already moved to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
After the Zuojun occupied Nanjing, a group of rude men often visited the Qinhuai River. After prostitutes and no money was paid, the brothel business was unable to be done, and became the second industry in Nanjing to be dissolved by Zuojun.
At this time, the Qinhuai River was pitch black, and only torches were lit on Nanjing City. The soldiers guarding the city patroled the city and did not know what was happening dozens of miles away.
Because of the beacon smoke coming from the west, the Liang army had already crossed the river, and the Nanjing defenders were still more vigilant.
At this time, a sudden noise outside Nanjing city was heard, and a large number of black shadows rushed to the moat, which shocked the Nanjing guards so much that they did not dare to be careless and hurriedly ordered the bow and arrow to be lifted.
The left army on the city pointed the arrow at the city and was about to shoot the invading enemy, but found that the left army was defeated.
This shocked the defenders, but someone shouted at the city: "Hurry! The king is here, open the door quickly!"
The guard heard Huguang dialect and his voice was very familiar, so he closed the wall and asked, "Who are you!"
"Zhang Yingyuan!" the person below replied loudly.
The city guard was shocked when he heard this. Zhang Yingyuan was the general next to Zuo Liangyu, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is the king?"
At this time, Zuo Liangyu could only strike forward, "Lu Guangzu, open the city gate quickly!"
When the guards in the city heard the sound, they saw Zuo Liangyu through the moonlight. They did not dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.
At this time, as soon as the city gate opened, the left army defeated outside flocked in, rushing to squeeze into Nanjing City, as if there was something terrifying behind it.
This shocked the defenders in Nanjing. The 170,000 troops only came back so few people, and many of them were injured, which made the defenders stunned and their morale shook.
Shortly after Zuo Liangyu led the defeated troops and fled to Nanjing, the Liang soldiers who were chasing all the way had arrived near Nanjing.
At this time, because it was dark, Liang Jun chased him too hard and he didn't know where he was chasing him.
Xu Heihu was riding on the horse, and the cavalry around him were riding slowly. Suddenly, a team of cavalry rushed over and reported with their fists, "Report to General, Zuo Liangyu hid in a landlord's courtyard. The wall is too high, so we can't climb in!"
When Xu Heihu heard the words, he immediately led the cavalry and galloped forward. When he came to the front, he saw the red-eyed Liang army shooting arrows at a huge black shadow.
Many Liang soldiers turned over and got off the horse, found a wooden pole, and then prepared to run and rush to the top of the city.
At this time, rockets shot down from the city and the fire illuminated the city. Xu Heihu and others were stunned. The moment the fire broke through the sky, they clearly saw two big words on the city gate - Nanjing!
