On the morning of 16 July, a contingent of five or six thousand men, after a night's march, finally arrived at Jurong County, where Zheng Chenggong had surrendered.

On the road from Jurong to Nanjing, there are rolling hills all the way, and the hills are covered with grass and trees. It's the perfect place to ambush.

"The whole army is on alert, pay attention to the search of the mountains on both sides!"

Immediately after the Qing army officer on the horse gave the order, this team immediately became on strict alert, and at the same time, dozens of horsemen rushed towards the hills in order to search for any ambushes on the mountain.

However, even after the brigade passed through the dangerous place, not to mention the ambush, even the traces of Zheng Jun's scouts were not found. After passing through the dangerous place, Zhu Mingzhong, who was wearing a Qing military robe, frowned and pointed to the dangerous place behind him and said to Zhang Jinsheng and others:

"You see, if the general sends one or two thousand people to cover the forest and strangle the danger, even if the Qing army has as many as 10,000 people, how can it pass safely, and how can this march and fight be so supportive......

When Zhu Mingzhong said this, there was a slight worry between his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to be so big, if he really held it up like this, then even if Li Ziyuan came to his camp, how could he convince him?

If you can't convince Zheng Chenggong, then your own side ......

"Is the military gate worried about Commander Li?"

A fat Qing officer on a horse looked at Zhu Mingzhong and asked, his accent was a Shaanxi dialect. If anyone knows him, they will definitely be shocked, isn't this Liang Huafeng, who was beheaded before?

Zhu Mingzhong nodded, feeling the tightness on the skin on his face, and the faint smell of blood, he looked at the "Liang Huafeng" beside him and nodded slightly, and then asked again.

"Are you sure they can't find a flaw?"

Zhu Mingzhong, who is a northerner himself, speaks a naturally northern dialect, and the pronunciation of some of the words is even more influenced by the pronunciation of the Manchurians. This will be his role as Wu Wei, the commander of the Green Battalion stationed in Suzhou. And when he said flaws, he naturally meant the "human skin mask" on his face.

At the beginning, when Shi Lei mentioned the "human skin mask", Zhu Mingzhong was even startled, after all, in the past, he only thought that this kind of thing was in martial arts novels and did not exist, but who would have thought that "human skin mask" really exists, but it is different from the truth and falsehood described in martial arts novels.

"Five or six feet away, no one can see clearly! In the eyes of others, I am Liang Huafeng, you are Wu Wei, as for them, ......"

Shi Lei looked at the soldiers wearing Qing army uniforms.

"They are the Qing army, but the biggest problem now is the ...... accent"

Accent, this is the biggest problem, the Qing army's green battalion soldiers are mostly northerners, only a very small number of southerners, this is because after the Qing army entered the customs, first in Beizhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places that first entered the customs to recruit troops, the army is naturally dominated by green battalion soldiers. The loyal and righteous army are mostly from Jiangnan, and even if they are a few northerners, they are actually barely southern.

"yes!"

Zhu Mingzhong, who nodded thoughtfully, felt that his face was a little itchy with a "human skin mask", but he was thinking about it, if this "human skin mask" could really be used to deceive the city gate of Nanjing this time, he might be able to recruit some northerners in Jiangbei in the future, and then use this method to deceive the city gate.

However, it seems that it is a little too much, after all, not every one of them is like Nanjing, waiting for reinforcements, and more importantly, some of them must know Liang Huafeng.

"However, Junmen, as long as we play this scene well, we will naturally be able to deceive the people in the city!"

Shi Lei sneered, because he was wearing a "human skin mask", he couldn't show any expression at all, after all, this was just a layer of human skin with glue on his face, and it was impossible to show his true expression.

"I hope so......"

Whispering, Zhu Mingzhong looked ahead, he should be in Nanjing soon......

Nanjing, at this time in the city renamed "Jiangning" by the Manchu Qing Dynasty is full of storms, in Zheng Chenggong's soldiers under the city for more than 10 days, Jiangning City can be described as tense. Facing the hundreds of thousands of people in Seoul, as the commander of the Eight Banners, Tikkam was worried that these hundreds of thousands of Han people in the city might act as an internal response for Zheng Chenggong, and originally wanted to kill on a large scale, so as to prevent future troubles. If it weren't for the fear that once the city was broken, after killing hundreds of thousands of people, it would be retaliated by Zheng Jun, and when the time came, he would be ordered to slaughter the whole city.

However, despite this, in order to ensure that the people in the city would not respond to Zheng Chenggong, Lang Tingzuo still ordered that the people in Jiangning City can only go out every day, and go out at other times, and there will be no mercy. Although Lang Tingzo ordered the grain merchants in the city not to hoard and to sell grain, the price of grain in the city continued to skyrocket. Moreover, because the officers and soldiers repeatedly hunted and killed the people who went out of the city outside the city, the people in the city did not dare to go out to buy rice at all, and even some people starved to death at home because of this.

Compared with the lifeless of Seoul, in the past the imperial city is located in the city, this will also be the atmosphere of tension, although there were originally more than 4,000 garrison Eight Banners soldiers in this city, but after the Battle of Zhenjiang, these Eight Banners almost no survivors, and because of this, this full city, it can be said that every family Dai Xiao, even so, because of the tense military situation, the young men who have not yet reached adulthood in the city, and even women, have to pick up swords and guns, go to the city to assist in defending the city, for Nanjing, which has only more than 10,000 defenders, But even after the report on the abandonment of the outer city, the inner city wall of Nanjing is still too long, except for the defense of the city where the Zheng army is encamped, most of the city heads are completely empty, and even if there are people, they may be straw men who are stuck out to fool people.

However, although it seems that the outer city has been abandoned, after discovering that the Zheng army is not behind the east and south of the outer city, it still arranges some soldiers to the east and south of several outer city gates as a guard, and of course, it is more important to receive reinforcements, so as to avoid the reinforcements from entering the outer city that was completely burned down after being abandoned, and not knowing where to go and accidentally breaking into the place where the Zheng army is stationed. However, the defenders in such an outer city gate are only a few teenagers in the city, but compared to adults, these teenagers, although they are young, are extremely serious. When it was close to noon, a young man with a gun at the entrance of the battlement, when he looked into the distance, his eyes first narrowed, as if he was observing something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Reinforcements are coming!"
