More than a hundred soldiers surrounded Yan Yingyuan. Wang Jinzhong and Zhong Muli were injured and guarded the left and right sides.

All around, Qing soldiers cautiously surrounded him.

There had just been a fierce battle, and these hundreds of Ming troops actually killed them all. Their fighting power was extremely powerful.

This is a battle they have never encountered since their southern expedition.

The long-term smooth battle made these Qing soldiers despise the Ming army.

But today, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood finally made them wake up.

The Ming Dynasty is not without people!

Yan Yingyuan bowed to the north, preparing to die calmly.

He said to the people around him: "There is nothing you can do about anything, and death is inevitable. If you die for your country, you deserve to die!"

"Master, today is such a happy day! In the next life, I, Wang Jinzhong, will still kill prisoners with you!"

"The classics and history are so powerful, just like the reincarnation of Guan Gong!"

Seeing that Yan Yingyuan was determined to die, the surrounding soldiers all turned red-eyed and rushed towards the Qing army, vowing to fight to the death.

"Okay! This is my wish for Tang Erlang!" Yan Yingyuan praised with a smile.

The Qing army did not fire arrows and seemed to want to capture Yan Yingyuan alive.

Yan Yingyuan's bravery just now frightened them, and even Ild didn't dare to step forward to fight in person.

Soon, only Yan Yingyuan, Wang Jinzhong, and Zhong Muli were left at the crossing.

"Go ahead, capture them alive!" Ild boldly ordered.

Yan Yingyuan picked up the dagger in front of him and prepared to drink it and commit suicide.

Wang Jinzhong and Zhong Muli followed suit.

Just when the three of them were about to die for their country, suddenly, a burst of singing came from behind.

The three of them were surprised and couldn't help but look back.

The Qing army was also stunned. Ild stretched his neck and looked into the distance.

"The glorious Ming Dynasty, we will fight against the national calamity together~"

"There will be no truce until the blood is shed dry!"

"The glorious Ming Dynasty, restore our rivers and mountains~"

"The sun and the moon shine together, sweeping across the wilderness!"

......

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Huh! Ha!"

The loud and powerful singing voice came, echoing in the mountain road, making people's hearts tremble.

After hearing the singing clearly, Yan Yingyuan trembled unconsciously, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Ild was shocked, what happened?

Is it reinforcements?

Impossible, where did Jiangyin get so many troops???

Just when the Qing army was stunned, a sharp sound suddenly broke through the air.

Before the Qing army could recover, dozens of people in the front row were shot through the body by huge crossbow arrows.

They looked at the holes in their bodies as wide as the mouth of a cup in horror, then fell to the ground and died without making a sound.

"Back!!!" Ild shouted hurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, along with the passionate singing, the second round of crossbow arrows struck, and the Qing army once again fell to the ground like a pile of grass.

A crossbow arrow pierced the soldiers beside Ild, including men and horses.

Ild was so frightened that he turned his horse and left without saying a word.

The Qing army quickly retreated and distanced themselves.

Ild withdrew to a safe distance, and as soon as he turned his horse's head, he saw an endless line of people and horses heading towards the mountain pass.

The flags are hunting, the horses are whistling in the wind!

"It's really reinforcements..."

Looking at the dark Ming army, the army was in strict formation and marching in uniform, the flaming red flags were like balls of flames, very eye-catching.

Mandarin duck coat, flying saucer helmet, a wisp of red tassel flying in the wind.

The leader is wearing a brand-new civil servant's scarlet robe, riding on a horse, with his cloak flying.

On both sides, guards held flags.

On the side of the horse, there is a man who looks like a prisoner holding a sword.

Yan Yingyuan could see clearly that the flags on both sides read "Yu Shi Du Censor" and "Governor Su Song and other places" respectively.

I was a little stunned for a moment and couldn't believe this was true.

"The head of the family is really the imperial court's reinforcements..." Wang Jinzhong murmured.

"The imperial court has not forgotten us!" Zhong Muli burst into tears instantly, and the grievances in his heart immediately disappeared.

Just now, he was still thinking, what's the point of their insistence? The court might have given up on them long ago.

When the Qing army saw that the Ming army was strong, Yild quickly supervised the retreat.

He saw the civil servant wearing a red robe and knew that it could only be worn by Ming Dynasty officials of fourth rank or above.

I can’t help but feel depressed, and my efforts have fallen short!

Looking at the formation of the Ming army in front of us, I'm afraid the number exceeds ten thousand, and I don't know how many reinforcements have come. I'm afraid Jiangyin will not be able to fight.

At this time, a ranger came to report that the Chinese army was in danger, and Ild was shocked.

"What's going on?"

"One part of the Ming army made a desperate attack, and the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted! The generals are retreating to rendezvous!"

Ild was stunned.

Did you hear that right? The Ming army actually overwhelmed the Chinese army??

Why are there so many things today that sound ridiculous, but actually happened?

Suddenly, Ild reacted, and screamed with a slightly desperate look on his face: "Hurry! Don't let the generals come to join us, and attack with all your strength. We are surrounded, go quickly!"

Nayou's horse kept turning around, hurrying to report the news.

Ild quickly stopped his retreat and formed his army again.

He can no longer withdraw. Once the Ming army in front of him sees the truth and takes the opportunity to attack, they will all be left here today.

The civil servants led by the Ming army drove their horses to Yan Yingyuan and the others.

Yan Yingyuan and three others saluted together.

"I'm going down to Jiangyin Dianshi Yan Yingyuan to see you, sir!"

The man on the horse carefully looked at the man in front of him, and then looked around at the piles of corpses on the battlefield, his eyes flickering.

"I am the censor of the capital, Xiong Rulin, on the right side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am the governor of Su Song, and the admiral of Jiangyin and other places' military affairs." Yan Yingyuan said softly, his tone full of admiration.

He didn't expect that the man in front of him who led his army to fight and refused to surrender turned out to be just a classic history who was not among the ninth grade. It was really touching!

"Greetings to the Governor!" The three of them bowed again. Unexpectedly, the civil servant in front of them who dared to kiss in front of the formation turned out to be a dignified Governor. They were both surprised and admired.

"Get up quickly and have a rest. I'll leave the rest to my officer." Xiong Rulin stared coldly at the Qing general who was also watching him in the distance.

"We can still fight again! I am willing to be the vanguard for you!" Yan Yingyuan felt that he was full of strength again and said with confidence.

When Xiong Rulin saw the three men's fighting spirit rising, he nodded in agreement and asked them to follow orders.

On the same day, Xiong Rulin, together with Wu Yi's division of Taihu Navy, led the army across Taihu Lake, entered the tributary of the Yangtze River, and landed at Caijing Town.

I wanted to do some repairs in Caijing Town, but soon I learned about the Qing army's westward advance.

Later, without conducting reconnaissance at night, Jiangyin sent 10,000 troops to prepare to meet the Qing army near Gaoshan.

So Xiong Rulin gave up his plan to enter Jiangyin City first, and immediately broke up his camp and marched eastward to support Jiangyin soldiers and horses.

Fortunately, it’s not too late.

"Beat the drums and march!" Xiong Rulin said solemnly.

War drums beat three times, and the Ming army marched in formation.

This time, the two naval divisions of Taihu, Wu Yi and Huang Fei, learned that Xiong Rulin's lone army was rushing to Jiangyin, and they were deeply impressed, so they supported him with 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus some strong bows and crossbows.
