Chapter 1254: Variables

: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "RR".

Jiang Quanyi was really a little anxious, he said: "Once Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan retreat, the enemy cavalry of Fengyang Mansion will no longer have our army to resist, and they will attack Jiangdu and Taizhou like a bamboo. ”

Wu Zheng's face twitched sharply, and then he pouted and said, "Before, this king wanted to withdraw, why did you stubbornly block it, but at this time, you were afraid and wanted to persuade this king to leave?" ”

Jiang Quanyi was so anxious that he sweated, "It's not the same thing!" ”

"That's what it's all about!" Wu Zhengzheng scolded, "The back road is about to be cut off, and you want this king to abandon 30,000 Taizhou guards and retreat alone?" What do you want the soldiers to think? How can you make this king embarrassed? Are you trying to dishonor this king in order to make your reputation?! ”

Jiang Quanyi and the generals around him who wanted to persuade were stunned when they heard this.

This crime is not small, of course, this matter has existed in all dynasties, and it is even more common in the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called direct ministers and rebellious ministers are against the king and beautify their own reputation.

Wu Zheng said: "Now the generals of the whole army, gather the troops, after tonight, quietly turn eastward, and within two days, cooperate with Wu Songwei of the Lu domain to form a flank attack on Yancheng!" ”

Jiang Quanyi came back to his senses at this time, and he and the generals around him still wanted to persuade him again.

Wu Zheng said sharply: "If you dare to talk more, this king will confuse the army's heart!" ”

All the generals fell silent.

Jiang Quanyi had no choice but to go out and deploy with the generals.

Wu Zheng came to the tent, looked at Huai'an City in the twilight, and sighed in his heart, if he could capture this Huai'an City, Taizhou Wei could hold Huai'an City, just like nailing a nail, even if the enemy's cavalry doubled, it was not to be afraid.

At that time, the Northern Expeditionary Army will be transferred to the north, and the center of Huai'an City will bloom, what a wonderful thing!

At that time, with the Yellow River as a barrier, even if the enemy army in Xuzhou arrived, it could be resisted.

Wu Zheng let out a long sigh, looked at Huai'an City and swore softly: "If I don't die in this battle, I will definitely bring the troops back!" ”

In the middle of the night, the army was assembled.

Wu Zheng looked at the generals with an expressionless face.

It's not a big defeat, it's more of a headache than a defeat.

The threat of a large number of enemy cavalry in the rear was devastating for any army, especially the new musket army, which relied on ammunition supplies.

The soldiers were also silent, the rear team had changed to the front team, they were the front team, and they were the last group. They have an incomparable disappointment in their hearts, they are as strong as Taizhou Wei, but they can't attack a Huai'an city, how can they be embarrassed?

But they were not discouraged, for King Wu was with them.

Every soldier is extremely firm in his heart, as long as King Wu is here, we will definitely be able to come back!

This kind of self-confidence is also reflected in the eyes, so that Wu Zheng is very useful, and the military heart can be used.

The high morale of an army when it fights with the wind does not mean anything, only when it encounters setbacks, as always, it is the elite!

"Let's go!"

Wu Zheng only has two simple words, but in the ears of the soldiers, the momentum is undoubtedly "attack"!

More than ten miles away, the head of Huai'an City.

Zu Dabi has been at the head of the city, and the Taizhou Wei outside the city has not launched an attack for two days.

What will be the conspiracy?

However, Zu Dabi is not worried, he is confident that he can defend Huai'an City, at least for a month.

This is not that Zu Dabi underestimated Taizhou Wei, but with how much of his career and experience as a horse, it can be judged that Taizhou Wei lacks effective siege weapons, simply put, it is heavy artillery.

In the era of cold weapons, there were still catapults and siege vehicles, but Taizhou Wei had nothing but ladders, and even ladders were not standard equipment, obviously, they were temporarily raised and manufactured.

Based on this, Zu Dabi has reason to believe that he will be able to hold on.

From the report of the lookout post, it was learned that the Taizhou guard had a strange movement when it was about to get dark, and the sentry guessed that perhaps the enemy was going to withdraw and suggested going out of the city to fight.

But Zu Dabi ignored it, and the Taizhou Wei Company attacked Huai'an for ten days, although it was fruitless, but the casualties were not enough to force it to retreat.

If you have the certainty of defending the city, why take the risk?

Besides, who can guarantee that this is not a conspiracy of Taizhou Wei, the siege of the city will not succeed, so they will pretend to retreat and lure themselves out of the city to fight?

Therefore, Zu Dabi did not move.

However, as more and more intelligence gathered, the signs of Taizhouwei's retreat became clearer.

Zu Dabi felt a little sorry in his heart, but he still insisted on not going out of the city and defending Huai'an City.

It is an immortal achievement to be able to force back the invading enemy, especially the Northern Expeditionary Army, which has caused Duoduo to suffer and the Eight Banners to fold its wings.

Thinking of this, Zu Dabi showed a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, yes, after this battle, it should have its own place in the Manchu court.

This is still Zu Dabi didn't know that Wu Zheng was more than ten miles outside the city, if he knew that Wu Zheng was also there, he would laugh even happier.

Wu Zheng, who even Dolgon couldn't help several times, was easily forced back by him, what a glory?!

However, things in the world are often so weird, it always doesn't want people and things to be perfect, and there will always be a kind of irresistible change at the most inadvertent time to make people sigh.

In the direction of the east gate of Huai'an City, the sudden red light reflected half of the sky, making the night retreat.

The people of the city, who had not yet fallen asleep, almost thought that they had miscalculated the hour, and that the day was about to dawn.

"What's going on?" Zu Dabi asked nervously, "What happened at the East Gate?" ”

A soldier who staggered to the city rushed to the city, raised his head and shouted: "General, the camp at the east gate has changed, and the rebels have burned the grain reserves." ”

When Zu Dabi heard this, the whole person was shaken, and he became a little dizzy. At this juncture, such a thing happened, is it providence?

Zu Dabi is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, he is keenly aware that this is not an isolated incident, the Taizhou Wei outside the city is assembled to prepare to retreat, no, when he has retreated, there was a camp change in the city, and a grain store was burned, what does this mean?

It shows that this is an internal and external collusion, and Taizhou Wei deliberately made a retreat posture to confuse and attract his attention.

For another general, at this time, the defenders concentrated at the south gate should be dispatched to the east gate to quell the chaos.

Kezu Dabi only asked, "How many rebels?" The East Gate guard, can he have the ability to quell the chaos? ”

"General Huizu, General Chen of the East Gate ordered the small to report to General Zu, the number of rebels is not large, less than a thousand, because of the surprise, it was won by the rebels, and the hoarded grain and grass were ignited, but the situation is controllable, but it takes time to quell the chaos."
