"All of you have listened to me, the front is fine, we are going back to the inner city to help defend it. Now the back row has been changed to the front row, and everyone runs back, and they all hear it clearly. "Burcha. Chavon shouted.

"Yes..."

A neat voice replied.

"Good. All turn back and run..."Burcha. Chavon ordered.

"Ataimo..."

Heard Burcha. Chavon called, and Atemo, who had walked some distance, hurriedly ran back to Burcha. Cha Feng knelt down in front of him and replied, "Master, the slave is here." ”

At this time, Bulcha. Cha Feng lowered his voice and said, "You immediately hurry up and inform Etuo and ask him not to entangle with the thief." Save your strength as much as you can and go back to the inner city to help defend. Once the thieves have broken through the outer city, we will definitely not be enough to fight them. ”

"Hey, the minion understands, the minion will go over now." As soon as Ataimo bowed his head, he immediately turned and ran away.

"Amuniputas. Wangtuba, you have sinned greatly. "Burcha. Chavon glanced at the outer city wall, and then rode back to the inner city.

At this time, Bulcha. The Amuniptas that Chavon complained about. Wangtuoba's body had fallen in a pool of blood at the head of the city, and his head had been cut off by the Eight Banners soldiers who were besieging the city, and he was used to recruit other Qing troops.

"Haha... King Han, good news, this outer city of Nanjing has been taken. Li De, who was in the distance, quickly ran to Zhang Rui's Chinese military office, laughing and reporting the news.

"Well, that's good news." Zhang Rui also said happily.

Although the General Staff of the Bandit Army had made various plans for attacking the city of Nanjing, after seeing the height and grandeur of the city wall of Nanjing, Zhang Rui couldn't help but sigh that the city of Nanjing was not easy to attack, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to attack.

Fortunately, there were people with secret guards who could persuade some of the defenders who had been drawn into the city, and it was these green battalion soldiers hiding in the hidden soldiers to help, which made the siege much easier, otherwise I don't know how many dead and wounded people would have to be killed and wounded to attack it.

"Taiping...," Zhang Rui, who was sitting in the position of commander under the Chinese army, called.

"King Huihan, his subordinates are here." Chen Taiping, the flag officer on the side, replied.

"Pass my order, inform Zhang Zhishan and Li Guozhong, and let the two of them immediately send troops to attack the city, and be sure to take the entire outer city before the sun sets, there must be no mistake." Zhang Rui said.

"The subordinates obey the order..."After Chen Taiping gave a military salute to Zhang Rui, he immediately turned around and retreated.

Evening, quietly coming.

The snow is falling quietly again.

The bandit army broke through the surface all the way, constantly swallowing the defense of the outer city wall of Nanjing. After hearing that the bandit army had broken through the outer city wall, many Qing soldiers retreated into the inner city one after another, and the defensive place was directly abandoned.

At the last moment of sunset, the bandit army had completely occupied the entire outer city of Nanjing.

On days when the days are short and the nights are long, the nights come especially quickly. Before he could get used to the evening, the night was already in a hurry.

As night falls, a bonfire is lit.

At this time, the army of bandits had already surrounded the entire inner city of Nanjing.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Outside Nanjing, in the camp of the commander of the Chinese army.

Where the Chinese army is, it must be located in the safest place. At this time, although the outer city of Nanjing was captured by the bandit army, its security was definitely not as good as the military camp outside the city.

Inside the tent, the brazier was in full swing, and the warm current filled the entire barracks, which made people feel very comfortable.

At this moment, Zhang Rui was sitting in the barracks and having dinner with the generals. The dish is a simple four-dish soup: a plate of braised pork, a fish, a plate of tofu and a plate of cabbage, and the soup is a soup made of shaved bones and soybeans.

Although it is good to be able to eat hot food when you go out on an expedition, it is only for ordinary soldiers. As the coach, Zhang Rui can naturally get better food, and no one will feel that there is anything wrong.

However, in order not to lose his goal, Zhang Rui has been strict with himself.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. People who want to enjoy themselves before the war is over are often irresponsible to themselves and all those who follow them.

The history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be said to have been alerting Zhang Rui. Let him always warn himself that if he doesn't want to be executed by Ling Chi, he must keep his heart. Once he started the wind of extravagance, he believed that he was not far from death.

Whenever he feels that the food is dull, Zhang Rui will think that Taizu, the prime minister and others can have a few peanuts, a few nests, and a little dried radish for a meal, what is so precious about himself?

Compared to the days when I just crossed over, I don't know how many times better I have eaten the last meal and looked for the next meal. Remembering the bittersweet thoughts, how many people in the city of Nanjing in front of them are hungry in this ice and snow without eating porridge?

Outside the tent, a gust of wind whistled by, stirring the curtain and dancing. A cold snap poured into the tent, bringing an indescribable relief to the sweaty crowd.

"Knock..."

I saw Zhang Rui gently put down the soup bowl that had just finished drinking, looked at the swinging curtain at the door, and asked thoughtfully: "Director Zhang, is our army's current military rations sufficient?" ”

Zhang Shide, who was still chewing the food in his mouth, immediately swallowed the food in his mouth after hearing this, and quickly stood up and replied:

"Back to the Han Dynasty, our army is now hoarding military rations for more than a month, and at present, the Yangtze River Naval Division and several other logistics troops are still transporting grain over, so the military rations are completely sufficient."

"Very well, you can sit down and eat!" Zhang Rui nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, King Xie Han..."Zhang Shide sat back down after saluting.

"Chief of Staff Zhao." Zhang Rui named again.

"King Huihan, his subordinates are here." Zhao Li got up and replied.

"In a while, you will start to make arrangements, and let people go to the city to warm up their stomachs for those who are sleeping outside. In this icy and snowy place, after a war, I don't know how many people will freeze to death and starve to death. Zhang Rui sighed.

"The benevolence and righteousness of the King of Han is really a blessing for the people...", the generals exclaimed one after another.

"Since they are already my people, I am responsible for them. I promised them a world where food and clothing can be fed, and now I have to take it one step at a time. Would you like to help me? Zhang Rui said.

"I am willing to die for the king of Han...", but a few simple sentences made the generals in the commander's camp feel honored.

"Then I will thank you here on behalf of the people of the world." Zhang Rui stood up and bowed to the generals. provoked the generals to kneel on the ground one after another, shouting "don't dare".

………

"Chief of Staff Zhao, I will arrange for someone to call the inner city and give them a night to think about it. Tell the people of the city clearly that if they don't surrender, they will slaughter the city. ”
