After all, the government has just been deceived once, and this time the government will definitely not be easily fooled again, so Xiao Tianjian did not make any more feints, and directly played the banner of sending troops to Nanjing Yingtianfu, and publicized it in the army, in order to mobilize the morale of the soldiers, when Xiao Tianjian led the troops to arrive at the Suzhou camp, the officers and men in the army had already shouted on the school field to kill the earthquake in the training of the troops, and shouted everywhere The slogan of entering the city of Nanjing, It can be said that everyone who has been noisy for a long time knows about it, and it is impossible for the government to know about it.

Xiao Tianjian didn't care if the government knew that he was going to fight Nanjing City at this time, in his opinion, it didn't matter if the government knew it or not, the sooner it reached Ding Qirui's ears, the faster Ding Qirui would withdraw his troops from Huguang, and the pressure on Luo Rucai and the generals left behind in Huguang would be reduced, which was also the reason why he shouted the slogan of fighting Nanjing Yingtianfu with great fanfare.

South of Suzhou is Fengyang Mansion, Fengyang Mansion is the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty Zhu family, not to mention how important its geographical location is, the political status alone is a great thing, Chongzhen eight years, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong sent Fengyang Mansion, a surprise attack on Fengyang, burned the Ming Emperor's mausoleum, the result was a big earthquake in the government and the opposition, and the court was also messed up.

Now that the Xingtian Army is attacking Nanjing City in the south, it is indispensable to pass through Fengyang Mansion, and Fengyang Mansion has borne the brunt of this time, and Xiao Tianjian led his troops south to attack the first important place.

In a few days after Xiao Tianjian arrived at the Huhe camp in Suzhou, Luo Li and other important soldiers and horses also drove to the Suzhou area, and by the time of April 17, Xiao Tianjian had gathered more than 30,000 people and horses in the Huhe area, and these more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were all soldiers who could go into battle directly, in addition to Xiao Tianjian also gathered nearly 20,000 reserve battalions and soldiers from the Henan area, stationed in Suzhou and Bozhou respectively, responsible for protecting the safety of the rear of the Xingtian Army.

On both sides of the Hun River, the materials transported were piled up, and a large number of newly-made armor and ammunition from the craftsmen's battalions from all over the country were also transported.

Xiao Tianjian on the 17th, in the south bank of the Hun River outside the camp gathered the soldiers and horses of the various departments, killing the animals and sacrificing the flag, swearing to pull out, with the sound of the cannon, a team of strong soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, immediately sang and drove towards the direction of Fengyang Mansion, these tens of thousands of horses can be said to be the essence of the Xingtian Army, many of them are just after participating in the battle of Yanggu County, immediately pulled over the men and horses, its combat effectiveness is strong, it is enough to despise any official army of the Ming Dynasty.

On several roads leading from Suzhou to Fengyang Mansion, a large number of Xingtian troops are like clouds, and the iron armor is rushing forward, and the morale of the people and horses is like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit is very strong and rushes straight to Xiaohan.

And Xiao Tianjian also rode his horse in the army, looking at the front and the back of the tail, the army under his command was winding towards the front, as well as the various types of artillery that were dragged by mules and horses on the avenue, as well as those carts loaded with various materials, and the pride could not help but arise, this army was his single-handedly from a dozen bandits, gradually operating to the current point, such an army, is the result of almost all his efforts, bit by bit accumulation, From the seventh year of Chongzhen to the current thirteenth year of Chongzhen, in just seven years, this army he built has seen the world and has few opponents.

In the past seven years, he himself can't remember how many injuries he has suffered, in the past seven years, most of the time, he has been leading these generals, fighting in the north and south on the vast Central Plains, fighting with the official army, fighting with peers, fighting with Jiannu, and finally playing a piece of his own world, and now he is going to lead this army of soldiers and horses, the Ming Dynasty will be completely overthrown, and a new history will be reshaped.

In the past seven years, how many people around him have come and gone, and they have fallen on the road he is moving forward one after another, paving this broad road for him, recalling those familiar faces, many people are no longer in this world, and the fate of many people has changed because of him, some people have survived, and some people have died, Xiao Tianjian didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, he just felt that his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but want to yell loudly to express his feelings, but he didn't do it in the endNow that he is the leader of the Xingtian Army, everyone is looking at him, he doesn't want his subordinates to think that he is crazy, so he can only suppress his surging mood as much as possible, take a few deep breaths, and look into the distance.

Tietou looked sideways at Xiao Tianjian, who was a little distracted on horseback, and looked around at the army that was marching forward, and showed a slight smile, he was the first person to follow Xiao Tianjian, and he has been until now, seeing Xiao Tianjian take them and run such a business step by step, in other words, whoever looks at such an army can't help but be moved, not to mention Xiao Tianjian, the commander who single-handedly created such an army, even he and his guards see such a scene every time, I can't help but have a feeling of being out of the world.

They are all from the lowest level of the world, gradually followed Xiao Tianjian to this point, although the official position is not high, but only with their identity as a guard, as well as this set of bright silver breastplate specially created for the guard, no matter where they go, they will be respected by everyone, this feeling is very wonderful, but they have not forgotten that the reason why they have this pride at the moment can be said to be all given to them by the person in front of him, so no matter what this person asks them to do, Even if there is a cliff in front of them to jump, they will not hesitate to stride forward, and they will never hesitate for half a minute until they fall off the cliff.

"Handsome! The scout has sent back the news, and the official army of Fengyang Mansion is also gathering there, and now nearly 10,000 officers and troops have gathered in the area of Fengyang Mansion, ready to block our army's crossing of the river on the south bank of the Huai River, please decide! At this time, Lin Luoze's horse galloped in front of Xiao Tianjian from the front, grabbed the reins of the horse from a distance, jumped off the war horse and ran to Xiao Tianjian, and reported to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian also grabbed the reins of the horse, put away his thoughts, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Where is Liu Yaoben's forward battalion now?" ”

Lin Luo immediately replied: "Marshal Qiqi, when the lowly post rushed over, the forward battalion had already arrived in the area of Wangzhuang, fifteen miles away from the Huai River, and was continuing to move forward, and it is estimated that it should be almost to the edge of the Huai River at this time!" If you can't get it, you'll already have to deal with the officers and soldiers! ”

Xiao Tianjian dismounted and ordered the iron head to unfold the map, beckoned Li Xin to come over, and looked at the map together, the Huai River basin in this era because of the Yellow River to seize the Huai into the sea, and the terrain of later generations is very different, so Xiao Tianjian attaches great importance to the drawing of the map, every time before the use of troops, a large number of detailed works will be sent to secretly draw a detailed battlefield map first, if there is time, will also let the experts of the army make a sand table for operational command.

After looking at the map, Li Xin asked Lin Luo: "So where did Li Dutong's right-wing men go?" ”

"Here, Li Dutong's soldiers and horses should have arrived in the area of Huaiyuan County!" Lin Luo pointed to the map and replied to Li Xin.

"And what about Luo Li's Left Wing Army?" Xiao Tianjian also asked.

"Luo Dutong's soldiers and horses have arrived in Wuhe County and are attacking Wuhe County! The news that came back said that there were not many officials and troops in Wuhe County, and some people in the city already wanted to surrender to us, and it is estimated that before tonight, Luo Dutong should be able to take Wuhe County! "Lin Luo came out this time, and his role was a bit like a liaison, after all, the scouts were under his control, and he was quick to deliver news, so he knew the situation on the battlefield the best.

After Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin glanced at each other, Li Xin did not speak, at this time Li Xin was very clear about his identity, for Xiao Tianjian, who was good at commanding the war, there was no need for him to provide any advice now, Xiao Tianjian could completely grasp the information on the battlefield and make the right choice.

Xiao Tianjian immediately nodded and said: "The progress of all departments is okay, send the order to the forward battalion, let them clear the enemy army on the north bank of the Huai River first, and you scouts will also sweep away the sentinels of the official army!" In addition, before the army reached the north bank of the Huai River, it stopped its advance and kept putting pressure on the officers and troops on the south bank, so that it could not cope with Huaiyuan County and Wuhe County on both flanks!

In addition, the order was sent to Li Xuanzhu and Luo Li, so that after they completed the set goal, they immediately marched towards the depth, forming an encirclement of the official army of Fengyang Mansion, with the performance of the official army, once they found that the two wings were outflanked, they would lose their fighting spirit, if they didn't want to be surrounded by us here in Fengyang, then the only way to retreat to Luzhou, in this way, we can take Fengyang Mansion lightly! ”

After Lin Luo heard the order, he immediately shouted loudly: "The last general will get the order!" After saying that, he gave a military salute, turned around, turned on his horse, and whipped his horse and galloped forward.

Xiao Tianjian looked at Lin Luo's distant back, and said with a smile: "After Shi Ran, with this kid Lin Luo to replace him, the efficiency of the scout is still quite good, this guy has a very active brain!" He's a general! ”

At this time, Shi Ran chased after him from behind, and said with a smile after saluting Xiao Tianjian: "The last general also heard the words of the big handsome!" Now the scout brigade, under the leadership of this kid, is doing even better than the last general! The last general is too guarded, and he doesn't have the same momentum! After this battle, the last general will return to his hometown! ”
