It has been nearly three months since the collapse of Ligang, although Ningbo, Taizhou and Jiaxing in the coastal areas of Zhejiang are on fire everywhere.

However, since Wang Chen, the governor of Zhejiang, transferred troops to the north, the scope of activities of the Japanese in the area from Jiaxing Mansion to Songjiang Mansion has been greatly curbed, and the reputation of the two famous generals Yu Dayou and Lu Bo has also skyrocketed.

But in fact, both Lu Bo and Yu Dayou are very pessimistic about the current situation, and they can only lead heavy troops to guard those key points to limit the actions of the Japanese Invaders, and it is difficult for them to directly launch a frontal attack on the Wolves.

In other words, now the Ming army can only drive the Japanese from here to there, and then drive them from there to here, and only when the Japanese have enough of them can they leave the sea.

The only good news is that nowadays the Japanese are all small groups, and there is basically no scene of a large number of Japanese pirates gathering to conquer the city.

However, Lu Bo, who is located in Tonglu, is in a very bad mood now, on the one hand, because a group of Japanese robbers entrenched in Haiyan County seems to have the idea of settling down, and on the other hand, because of his unconscious and unlucky young son, he wanted to let him get married, but he didn't expect to encounter the siege of the city.

"My lord, Jiading battle report." A staff member with a goatee entered the door and handed over a letter, "Five days ago, the Ming army went out of the city to attack the thieves, and the third young master killed the four thieves with his own hands. ”

Lu Bo was in good spirits, but after quickly browsing it, he threw down the letter in disappointment, "Be smart, Jiading City is small, just defend it, but go out of the city ......"

There was silence in the room, and after a while, Lu Bo gritted his teeth and pounded the table, "Explain and don't move." ”

The goatee looked gloomy, the son of the Lu family was weak and sickly, the second son was stubborn, and only the youngest son Lu Bin could be cultivated.

"Maybe General Yu can send troops to support ......" Goatee was looking for the last possibility, "After all, Songjiang is not far from Jiading." ”

Lu Bo shook his head, he knew Yu Dayou's temperament very well, this is a character who plans to fight, he is not sure that he will never go to war, and now he is fighting with the Japanese in Chuansha, how can he provoke other Japanese invaders.

But Lu Bo guessed wrong this time, and Yu Dayou also used practical actions to prove why later generations evaluated him above Lu Bo.

Yu Dayou knows very well that it is a good thing for him to attack Jiading by this group of Japanese robbers, but if he captures Jiading...... As long as their brains were not broken, they would not continue to attack westward into the heavily guarded Suzhou, where Tongzhou was still separated by the Yangtze River.

There is no need for that group of pirates to flank themselves, as long as the news spreads, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and the scene will be out of control at that time.

Once Songjiang is lost, not to mention the rest, there are people in the court who come to trouble him, although Xu Jie is struggling to support in the court, but that is only relative to Yan Song.

However, the Japanese on Chuansha's side are really difficult, if it weren't for Yu Dayou in charge, and hundreds of wolf soldiers were transferred, maybe they would all have to be broken by the other party, so he only sent a small number of reinforcements.

"Young master, the sentry is back." A soldier who was not young drew a rough map on the ground, "The Japanese are mainly concentrated outside the west city gate of Jiading, and they have just collected their troops and gathered in a village three or four miles away from the city gate. ”

Hou Jigao, who only attacked Jinshanwei half a year ago, licked his dry lips, looked up at the vague Jiading City, "Taicang Wei and Zhenhaiwei are basically out of soldiers, and they can still hold it, before leaving, I heard General Yu say that General Lu's young son is also in the city......"

"My lord, will you go straight to the city?" The veteran advised: "It should be safe to enter the city through the east gate. ”

After thinking for a moment in his heart, the fledgling Hou Jigao refused to be safe, and chose to camp in a village seven or eight miles away from Jiading.

……

It was late at night.

The city of Jiading fell into darkness, but there were large shadows under the corners of the east and west gates.

West City Gate.

Looking up at the moon covered by dark clouds, Qian Yuan held back his nervousness and excitement, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's still early." ”

Wu Zhutou felt that his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold the protrusions on the wall, "Mr. Qian, ......"

"Old Wu, maybe someone will set up a tablet for you in the future." Qian Yuan seemed to be joking lightly, and turned his head to look at Zheng Ruozeng, "Mr. Zheng, do you think you want to send someone out to keep an eye on it?" ”

"Exploring at night, this kind of manpower...... Mr. Lu should have it there, and he is still at the gate of the East City. Zheng Ruozeng hesitated: "If one is not careful, maybe it will be ......."

At this time, the Wang Family Nursing Hospital, which has been famous for its arrows for a few days, stood up, "I'll go." ”

"You?"

The Wang Family Nursing Home said proudly: "Have you heard that Mr. Qian and Mr. Zheng will not accept it overnight?" ”

Qian Yuan and Zheng Ruozeng were surprised in unison: "I don't accept it at night!" ”

Ye Bushu was the most elite character in the Ming army, almost equivalent to the scouts of later generations.

Qian Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Then please." ”

Zheng Ruozeng's lips opened slightly but he didn't speak, he had traveled to the north and was very familiar with it, and the night was not available to all Ming troops, it only existed in the border army, that is to say, this Wang family was probably a deserter.

Seeing the Wang Family Courtyard disappear silently into the thick night, Qian Yuan said goodbye and went to another city gate.

This time, Lu Bin escorted Sun Chengen to make a good fate, so the governor Yamen and Lu Bo equipped him with a lot of good things, weapons and armor, and horses.

Qian Yuan touched the head of a healthy horse, the horse snorted and neighed lowly, and Lu Bin on the side reprimanded a few words before quieting down.

Behind Lu Bin, the remaining Ming army of less than 50 people who had been defending the city in the past few days stood neatly and solemnly, and everyone had a tall horse by their side, and from time to time took out a piece of bean cake from their bags and handed it to the horse's mouth.

"Are you afraid?"

Hearing the abrupt question, Qian Yuan played with the small horsewhip and said without raising his head: "Of course I'm afraid." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid too." Lu Bin smiled reluctantly, and the bruises on his face moved under the reflection of the small torches, "But people live for a lifetime, and the geese leave a name......

Qian Yuan interrupted impatiently: "It's your duty to be a soldier and kill thieves, it's your fault that you rashly go out of the city and cause the lack of troops to defend the city, is it so difficult to tell the truth?" ”

After half a ring, Lu Bin, whose face was torn off, nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, if it weren't for me, at least I wouldn't have to take this risky move." ”

"If the army is defeated tonight, the whole of Jiading will be reduced to the mouth of the Japanese invaders." Qian Yuan threw the horsewhip back to Lu Bin, "But if it succeeds tonight, there will be a successor to the Lu family." ”

After a moment of silence, Lu Bin said in a low voice: "I left three horses over there at the county office. ”

At this time, the moon quietly burrowed out of the clouds, Lu Bin looked sideways, and under the reflection of the sprinkled moonlight, there was no expression on Qian Yuan's cold and stern face.

"Okay."

Hearing this expected answer, Lu Bin was a little disappointed, he pulled the spear, took out the whetstone from his arms and carefully sanded it.

As the moon once again penetrated into the clouds, the city of Jiading fell into darkness again.

Hearing a sound in his ears, Lu Bin shook his hand, "Uncle Li? ”

"There is no problem, it is unimpeded, the Japanese have been dispatched, and they are all concentrated not far from the West City Gate."

"Okay." Lu Bin's expression became resolute, and he glanced sideways at Qian Yuan.

"Open the gates." Qian Yuan commanded in a low voice.

In the low creaking sound, the heavy city gate was slowly opened by the two townspeople, and the city gate hole in front was like a black hole.

"Let's go."

Lu Bin led the horse to the front, and now he didn't think of anything in his heart, only one thought.

If you don't succeed, you will succeed.
