Chapter 1120 The overall situation has been decided
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Tang Wang and Zhang Jiayu calculated very well, almost succeeded, he sacrificed several chess pieces, mainly because many people were willing to sacrifice for Tang Wang, and their sacrifice continuously diverted the attention of the officers and soldiers in the city, so that Tang Wang could quietly go to the Water Gate without knowing it.
King Lu's sailors were strong, and in order to prevent King Lu's sailors from rushing into the moat, Gao Yigong arranged heavy artillery at the mouth of the Qinhuai River to block the water surface, making it impossible for Zhejiang sailors to enter the moat.
The Ming army has attacked the city with warships several times, and it is natural to be prepared for this, if the general city may not be able to withstand the sailors of King Lu, but Nanjing has the second largest cannon casting workshop in the Ming Dynasty, and there are a lot of heavy artillery, but it is easy to do.
Because the water division of King Lu was blocked outside, he could only cruise in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so the moat was relatively safe, and the defense of the water gate was naturally weaker than other places, and compared with the city gate, the water gate was easier to open.
Tang Wang and his entourage originally planned to go to Tongji Gate, but when Zhang Jiayu saw King Lu's family, his head was as big as a fight, so many people, let alone going out of the city, walked into the alley, and were arrested by Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Zhang Jiayu suggested that the Tang King endure the pain and cut his love, and let some people go to the Tongji Gate to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, while the Tang King went out of the city by the Water Gate.
The king of Tang wanted to ambush Wang Yan this time, and after Wang Yan returned to Nanjing, a big case would inevitably arise in the court.
The Tang King was able to retreat to Nanyang, but the families of Wang Huacheng and Zengqi could not escape, so the two did not plan to leave, so they led the vehicle to Tongjimen as bait, so that the Tang King did his part to go out of the city and fulfilled the responsibility of the courtiers, and they stayed and could also bear the responsibility, so as not to involve the King of Chu in their family.
All this can be said to be very well arranged, but it is a pity that they were unlucky, they sacrificed themselves with the Japanese army, carried out the orders of the Tang King, and covered the escape of the Tang King.
Just like Wang Yan's side, there were many traitors this time, and it is impossible for Tang Wang's people to be loyal.
The situation in Nanjing City is so unfavorable to the Tang King, it is inevitable that some people will choose to betray the Tang King and change the wealth.
After the king of Tang left the palace of the Tang Dynasty, he hid in one of his properties, and then sent people to contact Han Chang of Tongjimen and Wang Dana of Shuimen respectively, and then the soldiers divided into two ways and left quickly, but he didn't want the current situation in Nanjing, so that Wang Dana did not dare to help Tang Wang at all, he was shaken twice by the mirror light, and after being entangled for a while, he decided to notify Jinyiwei and sold Tang Wang for a change of wealth.
Tang Wang and Zhang Jiayu calculated and calculated, but they were planted on the body of such a small person, and a water gate was surrounded by Jinyi Guard.
Yu Taichu ordered someone to escort Tang Wang's family back to Zhenfu Division under house arrest, Zhang Jiayu and others were directly put in prison, and praised Wang Dana, promised him a position of Jinyi Wei 100 households, let him jump two levels in a row, and transferred to the feared Jinyi Wei.
However, although he entered the Jinyi Guard, he did not get the wealth he wanted, this is not because Yu Taichu did not reward him, but because he betrayed the Tang King, so that the people who wanted the imperial family hated him to the bone, and the Chu Party also looked down on the people who betrayed the master, so that he was full of twists and turns in the future, and there were traps everywhere.
During the civil strife in Nanjing, King Lu Gangli overrode public opinion and decided to reconcile with the Tang Wang, and was about to send someone to contact the Tang King in the city.
King Tang had a lot of power in the city, and King Lu just wrote a secret letter, telling King Tang to let him into the city first, purge all the Chu factions in Nanjing, and persuade King Tang not to pay any more attention, and finally hurt others and himself.
Before the letter could be delivered, a soldier in charge of observing the situation in the city reported that there was a civil unrest in Nanjing.
In order to attack Nanjing, King Lu cast a high platform outside the city, which was higher than the city of Nanjing, to observe the situation in the city of Nanjing, and at the same time, it was also convenient to observe the movement of soldiers and horses in the city when attacking.
The high platform has been destroyed by the city's artillery several times, and has been destroyed several times.
As soon as King Lu heard it, he knew that the big thing was not good, and the Chu faction took the lead in Nanjing, and King Lu smashed his fist in front of the handsome case with anger.
"Why? Why is Wang Yan's guy always in front of the lonely king! At this moment, he had a feeling of both Yu and Liang.
King Lu is also a masterpiece of the world, with outstanding ability, if no one fights with him, he can be a famous master, but he is unlucky, he first met Emperor Longwu, and now there is such a powerful traitor as Wang Yan, who always calculates in front of him.
The Tang King could only seize power after Jin Shenghuan felt it, so the turmoil in the city must have been started by the people of the Chu Domain, who were cleaning up the Tang Wang's forces.
King Lu finally decided to ignore his past suspicions and cooperate with King Tang again, but the Chu faction in the city took the lead, and King Lu almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.
For a while, King Lu couldn't help but be speechless for a long time, he suddenly tore the letter apart, scolded King Tang for being a stupid pig, and at the same time ordered his men and horses to hurry up and seize the city.
Nanjing is a big city, the city wall is extremely high, the defense is complete, and there is a moat, if you want to attack the city, you have to be fully prepared, and you can't beat Nanjing City with a ladder.
King Lu only set up a pontoon bridge here, the equipment has just been in place, the chaos in Nanjing City has basically ended, and when King Lu's army began to attack the city, King Tang has been captured by Jinyi Guard, and the overall situation in the city has been decided.
King Lu's army attacked for two hours, and after more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded, they were repulsed by the defenders.
At the head of the city of Nanjing, the artillery roared, the shells fell into the water, on both sides of the pontoon bridge, splashed the water column of the road, countless Zhejiang soldiers, discarded the equipment, retreated from the city like a tide, from time to time there were soldiers who were hit in the back by the rain of arrows and guns shot from the city, and died on the way to retreat.
A soldier ran on the pontoon bridge in a panic, and suddenly his thigh hurt, and he fell forward, and the soldiers who ran behind him immediately picked him up and ran back together, but before he could take a few steps, a row of guns came from the city, and both of them fell on the pontoon.
On a high slope outside the battlefield, King Lu was stationed, and when he saw the soldiers and horses besieging the city, he retreated in a hurry like a tide, and sighed in his heart.
Feng Jing on the side saw it and jumped out again, "Your Highness, admit it!" Nanjing can't be beaten, and it's important to surrender Zhejiang! ”
King Lu knew about this retreat, and those who supported him immediately dispersed, but he did not shake his head and refuse, and behind him, Wang Yi and other generals did not say a word, and no one spoke against Feng Jing.
At this time, in the west of Nanjing City, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared, and tens of thousands of troops dragged it behind, and the team was stretched several miles away.
A knight galloped to the bottom of the high slope, hurriedly ran up the hill, and reported on one knee: "Report, Your Highness, Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan is leading 30,000 horses, and he is close to Guocheng, and he is about to reach Jiangdong Bridge!" ”
