At this time, Zhenjiang City is still relatively prosperous, because Houjin has captured the entire territory of Korea, and North Korea, a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, was forced to pay tribute to Houjin, which is equivalent to becoming the rear of Houjin, which is safer than Liaoyang or even Shenyang, and some of North Korea's special products are sold to the interior of Daming to be really valuable, so the merchants of Liaodong, the merchants of North Korea, and even the unscrupulous traders of the Ming Dynasty regard this place as a distribution center, and it has gradually become prosperous.

After Wang Er and his entourage entered the city, they went to a shop selling mountain goods under the guidance of Chen Zhong, which was actually a secret outpost left by the Dongjiang Army in Zhenjiang City, after all, the Dongjiang Army had occupied this place, and it was not very far from Phi Island, so it was relatively easy to infiltrate.

The shopkeeper of this mountain shop is indeed a native of Zhenjiang, but his son joined the Dongjiang Army, and he was quite taken care of by Mao Wenlong, at this time his son was promoted to the commander of the Dongjiang Army, so the shopkeeper was quite enthusiastic about Wang Er and his party, Wang Er had a general understanding of the situation in Zhenjiang City, so he left the elite team of the special operations battalion in the mountain goods shop, and he and Chen Zhong returned to the fishing port and went to report to Zhang Bin.

It is common for Ming traders to run out and run into Zhenjiang City, because they usually come by boat, and it is normal to frequently travel between the port and Zhenjiang City, plus Wang Er has stuffed silver, and the foot guards of the city are quite polite to them, just like old friends, seeing them go out of the city gate, and even greet them warmly.

After Wang Er and Chen Zhong left the city, they walked quickly for a while, and as soon as they left the sight of the foot guards guarding the city, they spread their feet and galloped, and after running for about a quarter of an hour, they returned to the fishing port.

At this time, the remaining 40,000 Fuguang soldiers have almost all landed, and the entire fishing port is surrounded by black pressure full of Fuguang soldiers, one square after another, looking extremely majestic, of course, they are not far from the time of exposure, so many people gather here, the defenders in Zhenjiang City will receive the news sooner or later.

Zhang Bin listened to Wang Er and Chen Zhong's reports, and his face suddenly showed joy, because there were only 1,000 defenders in Zhenjiang City at this time, and it seemed that Jiannu's troops were really extremely empty, and even such a border town was almost empty.

A thousand defenders, as long as the chariot and the tiger squat cannon arrive, it will be the same as porridge to capture it, but Zhang Bin doesn't want to wait for the chariot and the tiger squat cannon to come, because the goal of his trip is not only to sneak attack Zhenjiang City, he also wants to take advantage of the fact that Huang Taiji has no chance to come back to raid the right guard of Dingliao, as long as the right guard of Dingliao is taken, the entire Liaodong will almost recover six percent, even if he can't conquer Liaoyang and Shenyang this time, he can be regarded as making a lot of money.

If you want to raid the right guard of Dingliao, it is naturally as fast as possible, but you have to wait for the chariot and the tiger squat cannon to come, at least until noon tomorrow, if you add the time of the siege, this day will be delayed in vain, just because a thousand defenders are delayed for a day in vain, it is really not worth it, even if it is to build a cloud ladder and wave the army to attack, he will take Zhenjiang City today.

In fact, he didn't need to wave his army to attack hard, because immediately after Chen Zhong put forward a suggestion, suggesting that he follow the strategy of Mao Wenlong in the first year of the Apocalypse and attack Zhenjiang City at night.

Of course, at that time, most of the defenders in Zhenjiang City went to Shuangshan to kill the people who refused to surrender to Houjin, and there were only about a hundred people left in the city, so Mao Wenlong could easily succeed.

However, although there are a thousand defenders in the city at this time, it is nothing to the forty or fifty thousand horses under Zhang Bin, and the night attack is indeed a good strategy, even if it is exposed, it can be easily taken by running directly to the city wall to build a human wall to attack the city, anyway, it is dark at night, how can the defenders see the situation outside the city.

Zhang Bin immediately made a decision and attacked Zhenjiang City at night, he hurriedly discussed with Wang Er and Chen Zhong for a while, and then asked them to bring a small team of elites of the special operations battalion dressed as coolies, carrying burlap bags full of cotton, and hurried back to Zhenjiang City, while he began to select elites in the Fuguang army and prepare for a night attack on Zhenjiang City.

These 40,000 or 50,000 horses gathered in the fishing port, it was really difficult to hide the defenders of Zhenjiang City more than ten miles away, Wang Er and Chen Zhong rushed to the south gate of Zhenjiang City with the elite of the special combat battalion, the defenders in the city had already discovered that something was wrong, they were driving out the people who entered and exited the city gate, preparing to close the city gate.

Wang Er's eyes rolled, and he ran up directly and stuffed a small bag of silver into the hands of the team leader guarding the city gate, and then said in panic: "Master Jun, it's not good, the Ming army has occupied the fishing port, there are so many people, we almost didn't run away." ”

The captain of the squad guarding the city shook the money bag in his hand, and immediately said kindly: "Isn't it, we have also received the news and are about to close the city gate, the king shopkeeper, you should go in quickly." ”

In this way, Wang Er mixed into the city again, and then, the four gates of Zhenjiang City were closed, and almost all the defenders in the city waited for the city wall, especially the city wall of the south gate, which almost focused on five or six hundred defenders, and the other three sides also gathered more than a hundred people.

What is strange is that the Ming army occupying the port did not move at all, until nightfall, there was no shadow of the Ming army on the south avenue, and the Houjin Shou General couldn't help but be surprised, what is going on, is it not that the Ming army is not here to attack Zhenjiang City, it is unlikely.

Of course, Zhang Bin came to attack Zhenjiang City, and the reason why he ostensibly stood still was just to paralyze the defenders in the city.

After Wang Er and Chen Zhong returned to Zhenjiang with their people, he ordered Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Wang Shangli and Bai Wenxuan to each pick out two hundred elites from their subordinates, and gathered eight hundred elite foot soldiers, and asked Zhang Cha to lead ten teams of elite soldiers of the special combat battalion to follow Li Dingguo, and took these eight hundred foot soldiers straight to Liu Wenxiu's defense area, from the mountains west of Zhenjiang City all the way to the north of Zhenjiang City.

At about midnight that night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a good time to kill people and set fires, Wang Er and Chen Zhong led two teams of elite special operations battalions, one of them carried a bundle of ropes, and sneaked under the northern city wall.

The focus of the defenders is mainly on the south city wall, there are hundreds of people on duty in turn, as for the north city wall, there is also a small group of men and horses patrolling back and forth, after all, they only have a total of 1,000 men and horses, but also to prevent the Ming army from attacking the city during the day, this big night, most of the people must go to rest, otherwise there will be no spirit to defend the city tomorrow.

Who would have thought that the Ming army in the south would touch the north to attack the city, and it was a dark night.

Wang Er's ears were close to the city wall, and when the patrol team was far away, he directly removed the rope on his back and threw it vigorously on the city wall, threw the cloth-wrapped hook lock on the city wall, and then climbed up quickly along the rope.

He came to the city wall, took a quick glance with the help of the torch in the distance, and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly pulled the rope a few times, and then Chen Zhong and more than 20 elites of the special combat battalion quickly climbed the city wall.

They did not sneak up on the patrolling foot soldiers, but secretly hid in the shadows of the city walls, waiting for others to fall into the net.
