"Little Five, Tokh is going to beat you!"

In the conference hall, Zhu Wu was holding half a steamed bun in his mouth, reading Zhu Chongba's letter while eating.

"The official army wants to recruit us, let's let him go away, the envoy of the court said that Tokhtar has mobilized a million troops and vowed to destroy you.

The army came from the north, and the officers and troops of Jiangxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang came from your back. A real army of millions, you have to be careful.

Fifth, this is the time of life and death.

We don't have as many soldiers and horses as you here, and we don't have as much money and food as you.

But what do you want, you speak. As long as we have it, we are not ambiguous.

At this pass, don't move and put it down in advance, and kill the officers and soldiers first. ”

Settled, brother, heavy eight.

Zhu Wu's face was solemn.

An army of millions!

The imperial court is finally going to do it.

"Map!"

Zhu Wu put down the steamed bun in his mouth, drank saliva and swallowed the food in his mouth.

He suddenly made a sound, startling Li Shanchang on the side. Seeing Zhu Wu standing silently in front of the map, he picked up Zhu Chongba's letter.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became, "An army of millions? The court has moved the family! ”

Zhu Wu's gaze remained motionless on the map, staring at two places, Anqing and Zhenjiang.

Coming from Jiangxi were the soldiers and horses besieging Xu Shouhui, and they must have stormed Anqing.

Zhenjiang is the gateway to Jinling, and there is no room for error.

If the fight really starts, the Dingyuan army will face it for the first time and fight on two fronts.

Millions? It's hard to fight, but it must be played!

"Now there are 386 guns of all kinds in the firearms battalion of the guard, and 200 guns are in the firearms team.

On the water, there are three ironclad ships like the Dadu and more than 1,000 small warships.

Gunpowder, cannonballs, bows, arrows, weapons and armor were enough for an army of 100,000 for two years, and grain and grass for three years.

The Dingyuan army now has 100,080 soldiers, of which 35,000 are new recruits from Huaixi. Tuntian everywhere, there are more than 20,000 troops after crossing the river.

The cities we occupy have a combined population of more than one million, and there are inexhaustible soldiers!

This battle, some fight!

I can't eat us!

Keep it, consume them to death! ”

Li Shanchang quickly talked about Zhu Wu's family background on the side, like a few family treasures.

Unconsciously, Zhu Wu's soldiers and horses had exceeded 100,000, which was still the number after he did not deliberately recruit troops.

Otherwise, two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses will not be a problem at all.

"How many artillery pieces are there over there?"

Zhu Wu was still staring at the map and said.

"Thirty-six."

Guo Xing and Guo Xiaosan's Anqing is an important town, with 10,000 people in his headquarters, as well as a firearms battalion of Zhu Wu's personal guard army, and other troops, adding up to about 20,000 people.

"Not enough!"

Zhu Wu shook his head, "Get him enough for a hundred cannons!" ”

said, looked back at Li Shanchang, "Pass my general order, let Guo Xiaosan defend Anqing, defend to the death!" That's our way back. ”

Then, he looked at the map again, "The whole army is ready for war, all holidays and family visits have been canceled, Fu Youde often leads all the troops to Zhenjiang first, waiting for my Chinese army and navy!" ”

"This~~~"

Li Shanchang couldn't keep up with Zhu Wu's rhythm for a while, "Lord, the millions of troops in the imperial court are menacing, aren't we~~?" ”

"I see what you mean!"

Zhu Wu squinted his eyes and frowned, "Jianbi Qingye? According to the city to the death? Will the million-strong army of the imperial court last? ”

Saying that, Zhu Wu shook his head, "Toto, since you are here, you won't leave." Unless we take it away. ”

"The lord wants to take the initiative to fight?" Li Shanchang exclaimed.

"Yes, get out! We're almost resting, we know that the court is coming, and we don't know when he will come. Instead of waiting, let's fight out. ”

Zhu Wu pulled out his waist knife and pointed to several places on the map, "The officials and soldiers are coming, we can't let them stand on their feet easily, otherwise there are millions of people, what will we fight?" Let's go to Huaidong!

Gaoyou, Xinghua, and Taizhou control the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Let's occupy it, that is, we will choke the neck of the imperial court and see what he uses to transport troops and food.

In a word, I, Zhu Wu, never sit still, and neither can the Dingyuan Army! ”

Bang!

Outside, there was a sudden spring thunder in the sky.

The wind rises, the clouds move.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Wu's straight back and the snowy long knife in his hand, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

This lord seems to be a little careless, but he actually has a plan in his heart. There is also a determination to break the kettle at a critical juncture.

Huaidong?

Canal?

From now on, I am afraid that this lord will surpass Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui and become the first confidant of the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang smiled bitterly.

Didn't you say at that time, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down your reign?

Now, he has taken the initiative to stand on the cusp!

～～～～～

There is spring thunder and rain in Jinling.

Outside, there were only clouds and no rain.

But the wet and cold and gloomy weather makes people uncomfortable.

A group of knights, a dozen or so people galloped on the road, each with a heavy fog on their bodies.

"Chen Tou'er, it's been a day, let's rest!"

In the ranks, one of the cavalrymen complained.

The man named Chen Tou was the leader of these men, and he didn't reply but looked around vigilantly.

There is farmland all around, and there is no trace of farmers, but there seems to be a village in front of it, and there is a big car shop at the entrance of the village.

This group of people was Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian's entourage, and the two of them asked their entourage to go first, but they changed their clothes and quietly changed into boats.

Seeing that there was a big cart shop in front of him, there were people shouting among the knights.

"Chen Tou, who eats a bowl of hot noodle soup on it, is really tired."

As soon as he shouted like this, the people around him also echoed him.

The louder he shouted, the louder he complained.

"Okay, eat a hot bite and hit the road right away. Chen Shuai and Zhang Shuai said to wait for us at Dangtu Wharf, let's not make a mistake! ”

As soon as Chen Tou agreed, these men cheered and slowly rode towards the cart shop.

"You say, why doesn't Chen Shuai go with us!"

"Then who knows?"

"I heard that I want to spy on Zhu Wu's water army!"

"Spying on what? Zhu Wu's subordinates are feeding the horses better than us! ”

On the way, these men whispered.

But when Chen Tou heard it, he was also puzzled.

Why not go along?

The big car shop is gone, and it would be nice to have a place to eat and rest in the countryside. , these men are not picky either.

"Guest officer, please inside!"

The shopkeeper nodded and greeted at the door, "Eat something hot, noodle soup?" ”

"Okay!" Chen Tou nodded, not expecting anything good to eat in this place.

"There is a place for tethering horses at the door, you all tie them up, enter the house, and let the small ones go down!"

"The country is quite thoughtful, and there is a place to tie horses!"

The crowd laughed and tied up their horses and went into the house

As soon as I entered, the heat in the room hit my body, and everyone was comfortable.

"Finally, my breath is hot, and my body is wet!"

"The coldness of this Jinling is not much worse than ours!"

Everyone laughed and spoke.

"Shopkeeper, give me some hot water!"

shouted outside, but didn't respond.

"Shopkeeper's ~~"

"Don't shout!"

As soon as Chen Tou sat down and stood up, his ears moved, "No! ”

As he spoke, his hand vigilantly touched the weapon on his waist.

"Isn't this place? Why don't there be any customers in the big car shop? How come there is no one to greet guests except for the shopkeeper! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, which was the grinding sound of the iron armor running away.

"Brothers, get out and get on the horse!"

In an instant, these men who started with Chen Youliang understood that there was an enemy outside.

Kill, get on the horse, escape!

Outside, Hua Yun and the two hundred-person teams stared coldly at the big car shop.

In front of him, two rows of soldiers with firearms stood in a semicircle.

"Is this thing really that good?"

Hua Yun lowered his voice and said to a blue-clothed junior beside him.

"It should be good!" The blue-clothed junior smiled, but there was not the slightest hint of a smile.

At this moment, there was a whining in the room.

Several men rushed out of the door with a hideous look, and the weapons in their hands were bright.

"Put!"

As soon as these men rushed out, they saw a group of people with iron pipes in front of them.

The leader shouted.

After that, their world is nothing but fear.

Bang~~~~!

The white smoke rises and the fire appears, just like the immortal magic weapon in the romance.

The projectile roared out, and the man who rushed to the front only had time to blink an eye of difference, and then it became a kite with a broken string.

Several bodies, under the blow of the fire gun, did not make a horizontal sound, turned into bloody people, and flew down.

Even, the projectile of the fire gun penetrated the wooden walls of the house, piercing the wooden walls.

"Shhh

Hua Yun gasped, Luzhou was going to die that day, and Zhu Chongba died eight hundred times.

Then, his eyes couldn't help but look at the man in blue beside him, and there was no expression on the other party's face.

"Go back, evil door!"

One photo, several people died tragically.

Chen Youliang and his subordinates retreated back into the house at the shouts of the leader.

"Humph!"

Hua Yun sneered and waved his hand.

More than a dozen soldiers carried two small cannons and aimed them at the big car shop.

"Put!"

"Boom!"

"Ahh

Heart-rending screams in the room.

"It's down, it's down!"

Someone inside struggled and shouted, "Let's surrender!" ”

"Go up, leave no mouth alive!"

～～～～～

In Jinling City, Chang Yuchun's house, the ants on the blue jade hot pot are wandering around the yard, their faces full of regret and fear.

Yesterday, I drank a few more drinks at my brother-in-law's house, and inadvertently said what I shouldn't have said, if the fifth brother knew~~~

Don't dare to think!

Now, I can only hope for my brother-in-law, don't~

At this time, Chang Yuchun strode in from outside, just turned back from the barracks, wearing thick iron armor.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Little Er!"

Chang Yuchun smiled and looked at him twice, "What's wrong with you, you're in a hurry!" ”

"That, I said it yesterday~~~~!!"

Lan Yu couldn't say anything in her heart, and her eyes widened with anger, "Have you gone to see Zhang Dingbian?" I said those words yesterday, you didn't ~~? ”

"Who do you think of me?"

Chang Yuchun crossed his eyes, "If you are a little second, can you still tell you if you enter my ears?" ”

"That's good! That's it! ”

Lan Yu patted his chest, "Brother-in-law, I'm scared to death~~"

"Bear-like!"

Chang Yuchun said with a smile, "Since you know that you are afraid, you will be tighter in the future." ”

"Didn't I drink too much and let you talk?"

Lan Yu said aggrievedly, "Besides, I want to know that you see that Zhang Dingbian is so pleasing to the eye, and you won't say anything about killing me." ”

"I look at that person very nicely!"

Chang Yuchun entered the house and sat down, sighed, "Good man, you should die under the enemy's sword, you shouldn't die in vain!" ”

"Why don't you die!"

Blue Jade pouted.

I just wanted to continue talking, but suddenly paused.

Knock knock!

There was a rush of drums outside.

Crash.

The sound of iron armor sounded, and Chang Yuchun stood up.

The freshly removed iron helmet was strapped on his head.

"Let's go, the handsome man will be promoted!"
