Chapter 51 Soldiers Coming to the City Five

The war drums sounded, and the rebels who had their stomachs in chaff nests, led by Huang Wanli, left the northern camp in despair.

Looking at this situation, Huang Wanli laughed and said loudly: "Tell the soldiers that as long as they take Nanjing City, everyone will have meat to eat!" What the officers and soldiers have, we will have! ”

The herald around him hurriedly responded and went to deliver the order on horseback. As soon as this will happen, all the soldiers will naturally cheer, and the dullness just now will be swept away, and the footsteps will become a lot brisker.

"Hehe, as expected." In the eyes of the clairvoyant, Shen Chongming turned his head and smiled at the generals behind him: "Let them smell the fragrance too, let's be a little ruthless, let the rebels see what the elite division of the imperial court is." ”

"My lord, what ...... Do you want to use those big guys directly? Yu Jiao rubbed his palms and said, he had always wanted to see the power of this thing.

"Don't worry, how can such a divine weapon be exposed at once, let's wait for the most critical time to deal a fatal blow to the rebels. Use more Franc cannons today, and it's best to keep the rebels from even getting close to the city! Shen Chongming told him that if you take advantage of the city to deal with the rebels, you can use the Franc machine gun.

"The last general commands." Yu Jiao bowed down and answered, there are gunners from the Shenji Battalion, and I am afraid that this Franc machine gun can also be used.

"Well, that's all." After saying this, Shen Chongming ran around the city, and Brother Erdan, who was busy directing the soldiers to prepare for the battle, waved his hand and summoned him closer.

"My lord, my subordinates don't need to tell me, how to clean up the rebels, you see." Brother Erdan said happily, commanding soldiers and horses to defend the city, this is the first time he has been in the army.

Shen Chongming glared at him and said, "This battle to defend the city has been arranged by Lord Yu, you go back with me, and there are other errands for you to do." ”

Brother Erdan was stunned for a moment, and then puzzled: "My lord, my subordinate is the general on duty at the head of the city today, how can he leave?" ”

Shen Chongming frowned, and reprimanded: "The general on duty at the head of the city is only responsible for things other than combat, and the fight is about to start, what are you staying here for?" ”

Seeing that Brother Erdan was about to say more, Shen Chongming directly ordered: "Ma Erdan obeys the order, quickly leave the city and return to the house with the official." ”

Putting aside these words, ignoring the anxious Erdan brother, he walked straight down the city.

Brother Erdan looked back at the rebels who were getting closer and closer to the city, and stomped his feet angrily, but he still followed. What kind of crazy way is this big man, what kind of trouble is he going to make?

Soon after the two of them left the city, they heard the rumbling sound of cannons behind them. Brother Erdan reluctantly glanced back, gritted his teeth and chased after Shen Chongming in front.

"My lord, the rebels are attacking the city, and the biggest thing at the moment is to defend the city, what do you want to send your subordinates to do as soon as possible, maybe you can return to the city to catch up with this good show."

Looking at Brother Erdan's pitiful expression, Shen Chongming was speechless for a while, this idiot, why didn't he know what he was doing this for?

Thinking about it, Shen Chongming can only tell the truth, otherwise he will not let Brother Erdan come to the battle in person for a long time, this guy will have to be aggrieved.

"Erdan, Xin'er is pregnant now, you said that you stayed in the city all day long, how can you let Xin'er not worry. Pregnancy in October is the most important time for adults and children, and you let her worry about you like this every day, how can you bear it. Shen Chongming persuaded bitterly.

Brother Erdan pondered, and only nodded after a while: "My lord, what you said is so good, this rain of bullets and bullets is well described, and it fully shows the current appearance of Nanjing's city defense." Well, a rain of bullets and bullets to avoid the rebels coming and going. ”

Shen Chongming was dumbfounded, and he was also stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth and pop out two words: I.

"I said Erdan, is it possible that you haven't understood what the official said?" Shen Chongming couldn't help but wonder in his heart and asked, this guy is simply a psychopath, even if he is stupid all day long, he is still chattering, thinking of one play is another.

Brother Erdan, who was still yearning, said dejectedly when he heard this: "Naturally, I understand, but adults, my subordinates really want to set an example for the children." ”

It turned out that he was deliberately diverting the topic, and Shen Chongming, who was almost on the road, couldn't help but feel a little blushing, but this guy was becoming more and more deceiving.

"I'll talk about it in the future, and at the moment Xin'er and the child are the most important. You've been by my side all the time these days, so Xin'er won't be worried, isn't it. If you don't think it's right, you can continue to be your general on duty, but whatever new strategy you set, you will carry it out. ”

For the sake of Brother Erdan, Shen Chongming exhausted his selfishness. Although I value him as a character who is sometimes shrewd and sometimes stupid.

"Really?" Brother Erdan asked cautiously, he didn't dare to think of such a good thing, you must know how many generals in the army are waiting to lead a new plan to carry it out.

"This is still fake, I'm still waiting to be your son's godfather, this can be regarded as a gift in advance." Shen Chongming said with a smile.

Brother Erdan was even more surprised, "Godfather? ”

"Hey, of course it's a godfather, hehe." Shen Chongming responded happily, and suddenly found that the faces of the guards around him became strange. Thinking about it carefully, my old face was also instantly red, I'm sorry Erba, Lord Ben really didn't mean to take advantage of you.

"Your Excellency, you're so nice." Brother Erdan was almost grateful, but he didn't notice that he had accidentally put down the oolong just now.

Shen Chongming didn't dare to stay any longer, otherwise he would definitely laugh. "That's it, let's go home." With that, he rode his horse and whipped away.

After fishing for such a good errand, Brother Erdan was also very excited, shouted loudly, and chased after the horse happily.

Outside the city, the former Zhongguo Mansion.

Cai Wenyuan, who was supposed to supervise the battle on the battlefield, came in a hurry, ignoring the guards in the palace and coming straight to the study.

"Master, something is wrong." Pushing the door directly, Cai Wenyuan opened his mouth and said as soon as he stepped into one foot.

Zhao Wenyi, who was reading Shen Chongming's collection, was stunned and asked with a smile: "Brother Xian, you are in a panic, what is going on?" ”

The reason why he said this was because Zhao Wenyi knew the progress of the siege war. Although there are some disadvantages, it is also expected, after all, the officers and troops are well-equipped, and it is reasonable to lose for a while.

"Sect Master, news has come from all over the place, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers are like divine soldiers descending from the sky, I don't know where they came out of nowhere, and at the same time launched an attack on the city that was already under control, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Cai Wenyuan looked a little flustered, he controlled the five roads in the south of the Yangtze River, and the officers and troops south of the Yangtze River were basically lost eighty percent, so many officers and troops suddenly appeared, but he didn't expect it at all.

"Hundreds of thousands?" Zhao Wenyi's brows suddenly furrowed. Although he had already thought that the dispatch of a large army to Nanjing City would cause an emptiness in the rear, and he also thought that the officers and troops would not easily let go of such a good opportunity, they did not think of it anyway, where did so many officers and troops launch attacks on the places under their control at the same time? You must know that before leaving, he had set up countless spies on the Yangtze River to spy on intelligence, but in the near future, there were absolutely no officials and troops crossing the Yangtze River to the south.

"yes, I don't know where it came from." Cai Wenyuan's face was full of sadness, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

"What about that?" Zhao Wenyi asked, but shook his head again. It's just a little more than that, the young and strong are basically drawn by themselves to participate in the siege of Nanjing, and the rest of the people stationed in various places are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. Let these people face the officials and soldiers who are clearly prepared, how can they hold the city?

"The officers and troops are like a bamboo all the way, and it is not clear where they hit their subordinates at this time. Especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shaoxing Mansion has been lost. "Cai Wenyuan looks like a decline, how can this be?

"Shaoxing is lost, then the next thing is Hangzhou, a place close at hand." Zhao Wenyi was also worried, suddenly something so big happened, and his plans were all about to be disrupted.

"Strategist, stop the siege and summon the generals to come and discuss it." After being silent for a while, Zhao Wenyi raised his head and commanded Cai Wenyuan.

Cai Wenyuan took the order and left, but Zhao Wenyi's face became more and more heavy. The unexpected situation immediately put the already not smooth cause in a haze again, and if it can't be dealt with properly, the catastrophe is imminent.

"Mingjin retreats?" Looking at the rebels who began to retreat when they heard the sound of the gong, Yu Jiao, who had been closely watching the progress of the battle at the head of the city, couldn't help frowning.

Less than an hour has passed since the rebels attacked the city, so why did the rebels end hastily?

"My lord, could it be that the rebels couldn't stand our artillery fire, so they fled?" The generals beside him said thoughtfully. At this hour, the rebels lost no less than 2,000 men, which was a big loss.

Yu Jian shook his head and said: "No, this is the first battle of the siege, just such a hasty collection of troops, it has a great impact on the morale of the rebels, no matter how bad the general is, he will not be so stupid, right?" ”

The general of the city head frowned and didn't figure out a reason for a long time, so Yu Jiao had no choice but to say: "Go and inform the Duchy of this matter immediately, what to do next, how to wait for the order." ”

After receiving the news, Shen Chongming smiled. "There must be a fire in the backyard, it seems that the generals from all over the world are still working hard this time."

"My lord, this is a good thing, how should you beware of the sudden withdrawal of troops from Wuweijiao, or can you arrange it now?" The second egg said that if the adults come up with any good plan, it will be implemented by themselves.

"Withdrawing troops?" Shen Chongming smiled and said, "As the saying goes, it's good to turn around when the boat is small, but it's inconvenient for the big ship to turn around." The Wuwei Sect gathered 200,000 horses to attack Nanjing City, but it can be regarded as exhausting their family funds, and they will have nothing to return to when they retreat. ”

"What do you mean, my lord...... The rebels will not retreat? "Brother Erdan is a little uncertain, and the rear is unstable, this is a battlefield plan.

Shen Chongming shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This official doesn't know how they will choose, but in this official's opinion, there is only a dead end to withdraw troops, and the best way is to seize a glimmer of life in Nanjing City." ”
