Zhu Jianwen said silently: "Brother Bai doesn't have to blame himself, fortunately, you can see in time now that we have no loss of blood, and leading troops to fight is changing rapidly, and you are not to blame for this matter, but what should we do next." ”

Bai Yong replied: "We don't have siege equipment, even if we attack Jiujiang, this is the purpose of Zhen Lingdan's troops in Jiujiang, now we can only determine the location of the king, once it is confirmed to send a small force to monitor here, let's quickly withdraw the army, go to the north, and talk about it with the main army, otherwise Zhen Lingdan will definitely lead the troops back once he finds out that we are not hooked, and then we will be sandwiched between the enemy army and Jiujiang Mansion, it can be said that we will suffer from the enemy on the back of the enemy, which is really not good." ”

While speaking, the generals have already put away the artillery and ballistas, and the rebels responsible for ambushing the Ming army have also been swept up properly, Zhu Jianwen ordered the siege of the city, the artillery fired the ballista continuously, the cavalry dismounted and turned into infantry, and hit the city gate with the felled trees, and after a while, Zhu Qipai was pushed onto the city, and several soldiers put their knives against Zhu Qipai, not daring to relax at all, obviously worried that there were high-ranking people in the Ming army, and they could rob Zhu Qipai with the power of thunder.

A man dressed as a general shouted in the city: "The king is in our hands, in order not to increase the killing, we can only make this strategy to threaten the hostages, and I hope you will understand, otherwise our army will hoard in the city, once you are killed, there will be no bones left, quickly put down the weapons, the generals will come to the camp by tying themselves, and the sergeant will lose his armor, there must be no mistake, otherwise I will kill the king first and then kill his whole family, and finally the soldiers will go out of the city, and kill you chickens and dogs." ”

Bai Yong replied in a loud voice: "Don't bluff, we have seen through your plan, didn't we see that the troops who pretended to be ambushed were killed by us, there are no large numbers of troops in the city at all, at most the number of people who are just defending, Zhen Lingdan went to ambush our reinforcements The team has been ambushed by my main force of the Ming Dynasty, and now the whole army has been wiped out, and it will not be long before someone will send his head forward, I advise you to surrender quickly, now the avatar is called a defection blow, an uprising, if it is not when Zhen Lingdan is defeated, The people in the city are considered rebels and bandits. ”

The general defending the city was obviously deceived by Bai Yong, and the plan that Bai Yong said was Zhen Lingdan's layout, if it weren't for this, how would the Ming army know about the temporarily changed battle plan, Zhen Lingdan was really defeated,

The guard hesitated, and suddenly a little old man came next to him, and the general hurriedly saluted the little old man with a fist, and the little old man said, "Don't be polite, you see what this is." ”

The general took the small leather bag handed by the little old man, which was obviously tied to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and there was a letter inside, with a new line of words written on it: Hold on to Jiujiang, wait for me to besiege the Ming army, the ambush has been successful, and the enemy army will not be left behind, Zhen Lingdan,

The general's confidence was greatly boosted, it was Zhen Lingdan's handwriting, no longer panicked and waved his hand, the soldiers took Zhu Qi down, and the guard shouted at the Ming army camp: "Wait for Hugh to talk nonsense, I am handsome, wise and mighty, how can I be killed by people like you, I advise you to surrender early, don't cry when the time comes." After saying that, he laughed,

Bai Yong snorted coldly and said to Zhu Jianwen: "The other party may be cheating us, we are stationed here for half a day, if they send a messenger to contact us, it means that they have listened to our words, if the enemy army has no movement, we will quickly evacuate according to the original plan, where is the scout sentry." ”

The leader of the sentry cavalry and the leader of the scouts hurriedly replied, and Bai Yong ordered: "Closely monitor the surrounding movements, if there is a large army coming to report quickly, and secondly, pay attention to whether there are people in the city who go out of the city to deliver a message, and if there is, be sure to stop it." And all the generals answered yes, and went their own way.

Besides, in Jiujiang Mansion, the guard general was ecstatic with the flying pigeon biography, and saw Zhen Lingdan's big victory, which means that he will soon not have to be so worried about defending the city, this time he defended the city so easily, it must be a great achievement, Zhen Lingdan's rewards and punishments are clear, and it seems that this time it can be earned.

The little old man just now, walking down the city wall, leaned against four other old men dressed like him in the shade, and they asked, "Why, that stupid hat believes it." ”

The little old man at the beginning nodded, and one of the remaining four smiled: "It's stupid, but you're also powerful enough to pretend to be the will of the Lord of the Soul Vein, and it's a shame that you can come up with it." ”

The little old man shook his head and said: "This is not me pretending, but Zhen Lingdan, the master of the soul vein, gave it to me before he led the troops out of the city, saying that if the army's heart is shaken or once something changes, he will show it to others, you were not there at the time, so I don't know, I forgot to say it, it is really a master of art and boldness, and I don't know how the battle is going now. ”

"Maybe it's a late bloomer." These five people said in unison, although their voices were different, but they spoke together with an extraordinary tacit understanding, which made people feel indescribably weird.

Did Zhen Lingdan really win, he didn't know, at this moment he was leading the army to ambush on the road he expected the Ming army reinforcements to pass through, this is the border between Hubei and Jiangxi, and the fastest way to reach Jiujiang is to march from here, but the problem is that there are many mountains here, it is a place of ambush, and the general soldiers dare not rush forward, but there are Zhu Jianwen and Bai Yong in front of the road, and the reinforcements behind are much more relieved, plus there is indeed no danger on the road, even a small group of bandits have not encountered, so the follow-up troops of the Ming army are completely loose, Although the march did not slow down, most of them wore crooked helmets and held weapons at will, like a group of young people on an outing.

It is not to blame for the low quality of this group of soldiers, this Ming army is composed of Zhu Jianwen's Qinwang Army and the remnants of the Liangguang Land, as the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier, a good iron does not hit nails, Zhu Jianwen brought the Qinwang Army did not go through a few days of training, they are all people who were hurriedly assembled, although there are many Jiangxi garrisons and regular preparation troops, but they are all materials that have not been through war for many years, Qinwangbing is really elite, and lost a lot in the struggle with Yu Qian a few years ago, and the rest are also integrated into the regular sequence of the Ming army, So most of the people who came before were those who had never fought or those old fritters,

The remnants of the two lakes are even more unbearable, if you talk about the morale of Jiangxi's Qinwang army, the morale is still high, and the soldiers of the two lakes are not even demoralized, they have been pressed and beaten by Zhen Lingdan before, and the elite has lost everything, and now the soldiers and horses of the two lakes are either deserters or refugees, it doesn't matter who fights with them, the important thing is to give food to eat, of course, it is also very important to keep the guys who eat, in short, they are all messing around,
