Liu Zhong was just the vanguard of the Qing army. This time, Zheng Zhilong contacted Nanzheng, and the Qing Dynasty was ecstatic. They decided that this was the last chance.

The Eight Banners of the Central Plains came out in full swing, Zhang Dayuan, Ma Baozi (Wang Fuchen), and Li Benshen each led the general of Rao Camp and led his troops south.

Jiergalang personally commanded the Qing Dynasty, and the whole Qing Dynasty was determined to win. Wakda, the Zhenghong Banner of Huai'an Prefecture, led the Eight Mongolian Banners and Han soldiers to Yangzhou to drag the Huozi Camp to Yangzhou, unable to support it.

Without this powerful enemy, the Qing Dynasty did not think that Hou Xuanyan could defend Jinling from Dorgon.

Jiergalang was in Chuzhou Prefecture, mobilized Qing soldiers who were constantly coming and went to the battlefield one after another. Zhang Dayuan had already arrived in Jiangpu County. After seeing the corpses everywhere, he spat and said to deputy general Hu Maozhen: "Liu Zhong is Gao Jie's subordinate. He burned, killed, looted, and was neat and clean, and he didn't even leave any hairs for his grandfathers."

Hu Maozhen kicked away a baby's body and said with a smile: "General, don't panic. If you fight to Jiangnan, there are some oil and water. Jiangnan is rich. The general was lucky to go to Nanzheng. He had seen those people robbed gold, silver, jewelry, jade, jade, and blood dripping with blood on their hands. He was wearing gold and silver as his mother's groom."

Zhang Dayuan smiled at the sky and rode his horse to the city. Liu Zhong had been waiting for him outside the tent. Zhang Dayuan saw him from afar, and spoke with anger, and said loudly: "Liu Zhong, congratulations to your brother for capturing Jiangpu, making his first contribution, and will be promoted soon."

Liu Zhong knelt on the ground and smiled and said, "General, don't laugh at me, Old Liu. I can't stand your word "Brother". Old Liu is a rough man and dare not call him brother, but he is willing to hold a horse and hold a whip for you. As long as the general is willing, let me, Old Liu be your personal soldier, which is considered to be my wish."

Zhang Dayuan snorted coldly, feeling a little relieved. The pioneer assigned by Jiergalang was Zhang Dayuan, but he was robbed by Liu Zhong. The first achievement was lost. Fortunately, this kid would do something, so he would not dare to be greedy for me. Liu Zhong said it, but he didn't expect Zhang Dayuan to throw the horse whip at him. Liu Zhong couldn't dodge and was hit by the horse whip. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head to pick it up, and welcomed him into the tent with a smile.

Liu Zhong surrendered in the four towns in Jiangbei, but Zhang Dayuan surrendered to Manchus as slaves before entering the pass. These traitors were very serious about their professions. Old traitors were often more popular with Manchus, with great official positions and great power, and had a better relationship with Manchus masters. Later, even if the official positions were high before surrender, Manchus would beat and scold them at will, and even humiliate their wives and daughters at will. The bullied Han generals and officials often dared not speak out, and they had to smile, for fear that their masters would be dissatisfied, so they removed their officials and chopped their heads.

Zhang Dayuan walked into the tent, sat up the head with a golden sword, and asked at the top of his voice: "Liu Zhong, has the Jiangpu defenders almost solved it?"

"There is no Ming army in Jiangpu anymore. The last general is instructing the soldiers to collect ships. As long as the general is willing, we can step into Jiangning County tomorrow." Liu Zhong said with a flash of eyebrows, and he didn't notice that Zhang Dayuan's face became increasingly ugly.

"Prince Heshuo's army has not arrived, and the prince has not issued an order yet. Have you decided to cross the river?"

The owner of the Jiergalang Blue Banner, one of the eight major political parties, was a figure as big as the sky in the eyes of these traitors. Liu Zhong hurriedly denied it and kept apologizing and begging for mercy. Zhang Dayuan was not so easy to let him go. He kept looking for trouble, but he wanted to respect Liu Zhong to give the things he snatched from Jiangpu. Who knew that Liu Zhong had always been polite and did not take out a single one. Zhang Dayuan was so angry that he was criticized by him.

When Zhang Dayuan wanted to continue to put pressure, a soldier rushed in from outside and said anxiously: "General, it's not good, the Ming army is here."

Zhang Dayun's face changed, and he didn't care about asking for money from Liu Zhong, and said angrily: "Liu Zhong, didn't you say that the Jiangpu defenders have been cleared by you?"

Liu Zhong was also very scared, but he quickly said confidently: "The Jiangpu defenders were indeed cleared by the last general, and this team must be the Ming army that crossed the river."

"Farting, the water-like camp is in Yangzhou, and the Houtu camp is behind us. Where did the ferry army come from?" Zhang Dayuan was a little panicked. After so many years of war, he understood a truth. There are no weak brigades under his reputation, and sometimes it is impossible to believe in evil. With Hong Chengchou's strategy and Li Rutai's courage, they all suffered great losses under Hou Xuanyan's men and died one after another.

It’s okay to let him beside Jiergalang, shaking flags and shouting for the power of the fox. If he really wants to face Hou Xuanyan, he will not be afraid.

Liu Zhong stomped his feet and said anxiously: "You will know who you are when you go out and take a look."

The two of them walked out of the tent, climbed up the Jiangpu City Wall, which was bombarded by them, and looked into the distance.

What came was an army they had never seen before. These soldiers and horses were uniform, and thousands of troops were as one, and their every move shook the mountains and rivers.

A sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the towering flag of the central army and exclaimed: "The big flag of the word "Yue!" is Hou Xuanyan, and Hou Xuanyan has arrived in person!" The crowd suddenly fell into panic. Liu Zhong's feet softened, and suddenly remembered the confident light in his eyes before his death. It was because he believed that someone would definitely avenge him after his death. Liu Zhong could not forget it. The two eyes shocked his heart so much.

A name can shock the enemy. This is the unique glory of the ever-winning general. The Northern Expedition of the army was invincible, and a sense of arrogance soared into the sky. This is the unique momentum of an unbeaten army.

Liu Zhong and Zhang Dayuan looked at each other and saw the cowardice in each other's eyes. Zhang Dayuan said: "The Jiangpu City Wall is so dilapidated, it is absolutely impossible to defend. Let's go out of the city. The enemy is powerful, and if you can fight, you can fight, and it's better not to fight... Save your strength and fight again tomorrow."

Liu Zhong hurriedly said: "What the general said is very true."

When Jiang Jianxun first entered the temple, he had the opportunity to go to war and was in charge of a large army. It was also because Jinling's defense was a little empty, and the generals were fighting outside. He had nearly ten years of military and horse-ridden years in the north. He drew the general from the short man and selected him.

Wang Da was wearing bright silver armor and rode on a tall horse, which was more majestic than his master Jiang Jianxun. His horse was originally thin and weak, and Wang Da told Jiang Jianxun: "It is my ability to charge forward and fall into battle. You can't do it. What's the use of such a divine horse?"

Jiang Jianxun laughed and actually exchanged war horses with him and asked him to go to war with the army.

Wang Da rode on the horse, and as the army slowly approached the city of Jiangpu, he turned around and said, "Master, I have never seen such a soldier before."

Jiang Jianxun's expression turned solemn, no longer had the humor and smile of the past, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk in the formation. Listen to the sound of the drums and horns of the commander of the central army and prepare to charge."

Hou Xuanyan rode on the horse and whispered: "I have been away from the battle formation for a long time. I have been accustomed to riding a delicate girl. After riding a horse for a long time, my hips hurt. No wonder people say that their children have a long love and heroes are short of breath. Liu Bei's thighs grew fat, so he lamented that he was wasting his time. I have experienced the mood of the ancients today."

Qin He reminded: "Master General, the Qing soldiers from Jiangpu City have come out."
