The Chu army rushed to Xinjian Town at dawn and immediately launched a fierce attack.

Xinjian Town has high walls and deep ditches, Ma Guozhu is confident that he can hold on for two days, but he ignores a problem, the Chu army is not a green battalion soldier, and the fortress that the green battalion soldiers can conquer in two days is like a window paper for the Chu army.

Wang Sheng, Zhou Guodong and Chen Youlong, the three teachers, together taught Ma Guozhu a lesson, what is devastating, what is like a bamboo!

The shouting and killing of the Ming army is getting closer and closer, and it has entered the town, Ma Guozhu's Chinese army camp is in chaos, Tian You with a dozen personal soldiers, quickly walked through the crowd and broke into the Chinese military hall, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Military gate, hurry up to the dock, it's too late if you don't leave!" ”

"Bastard! What are you panicking about? If you dare to disturb the hearts of our army again, this constitutional marching law will kill you! Ma Guozhu's voice was extremely majestic, and he did not pretend to love his confidants, Tian Youleng paused for a moment, only to see that there was an additional Manchu officer next to Ma Guozhu.

"Knock on Gushan Ema-sama!" Tian You hurriedly knelt down and saluted, this Manchu officer was named Zhu Mala, a dignified Gushan Ezhen, who had been guarding Nanjing for a long time, and Ma Guozhu had to give him three points.

(Gushan Ezhen, that is, the later capital, for example, Wei Xiaobao was the commander of the forward battalion, Gushan Ezhen was originally the military and political chief of a banner, and his identity was only under the banner owner, which was larger than the officials of Mele Zhangjing and Jiala Zhangjing, and was directly responsible to the emperor.) This is also the product of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's transformation from a tribal society to a centralized state, and the establishment of a series of official positions such as Guò Gushan Ezhen and Baya Laxu Zhangjing, the Manchu Emperor set up the Eight Banners and controlled the military and political power of the Eight Banners. ）

"I heard that the southern thieves are coming to invade Xinjian Town. Gushan Ezhen immediately led his troops across the river and rushed to support, since the Eight Banners Force had arrived. The new town is naturally impregnable......"

Ma Guozhu explained lightly, as if it was just to calm the morale of the army, but Tian You had followed him for many years, and just listened to him chatter and chatter, he knew that the military master was actually very excited, and it was only with years of cultivation that he maintained his composure on the surface.

It's too hanging!

It's a thousand points. Ma Guozhu was already thinking about whether to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water just now, and Zhu Mala arrived in time to save his life.

Jumala nodded. asked Tian You: "Have you found out the banner of the southern thief?" How many soldiers are there in total? And where did it come from? ”

"The last general sent people to inquire repeatedly, and the southern thieves took Zhao Yin of the Yunnan Army as the vanguard, and there were also Wang Sheng, Zhou Guodong and others behind them, and they should all be reinforcements who had just arrived from Huguang." Tian You's answer is very close to the truth. Zhou Guodong and Chen Youlong have just arrived in Jiangxi. participated in the operation.

But Jumala was taken by him to the ditch: "From Huguang? Which way did they go? Why didn't you hear any wind? ”

Ma Guozhu guessed: "They should have come from the ravine, the Chu army's lair is in the area of Chongyang Tongshan County, and they are very familiar with the terrain there, so they can bypass Xiong Lichun's attention." ”

"Okay, don't care about him for now, as long as there are no more southern thieves behind, Wang Sheng and Zhou Guodong will not be difficult to deal with." Anyway, the defenders of Xinjian Town had been disrupted, and Jumala simply took over the command. Successive orders were issued to throw the thousands of Eight Banner soldiers he brought into battle. Resist the attack of the Chu army.

On the periphery of Xinjian Town, the Chu army sent a lot of scouts to closely monitor the surroundings, no matter which direction the Qing army reinforcements came from, they immediately sent troops to block them, but Zhu Mala crossed the river, and the Chu army did not notice it. When this new force joined the battle, the resistance to the attack increased exponentially, and the Qing army even launched a local counterattack and drove the Chu army back.

Seeing that Xinjian Town was about to be conquered, but there was a sudden recurrence, Wang Sheng did not immediately devote all his troops to fight, but suspended the attack and first found out what was going on.

When he heard that Zhu Mala had crossed the river and rushed to help, Wang Sheng was not only not in a hurry, but was very happy -- Zhu Mala was originally in charge of besieging Nanchang City on the east bank of the Gan River, and he came to support Xinjian Town, and the Qing army camp besieging the city was empty.

Wang Sheng ordered the battalions to switch to attacking in turns, and while maintaining pressure, seize the time to rest, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.

He was waiting for Jin Shenghuan.

Jin Shenghuan held Nanchang for half a year, has been actively counterattacking, as long as the Qing army is a little relaxed, immediately out of the city counterattack, large and small more than 20 fierce battles, although failed to break the Qing army's encirclement, but has not given up, Zhu Mala led troops to support the new town, Jin Shenghuan has no reason to miss this rare opportunity.

……

At this time, in Nanchang City, it has reached the last moment of running out of ammunition and food.

Although the Ganzhou Navy Division desperately sent in a batch of grain, but there were more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and those boats of grain were just a drop in the bucket.

As a commander, he should share weal and woe with the soldiers to boost morale, since the city was cut off, Jin Shenghuan has not eaten, and he also eats human flesh every day, but he is not a monster who eats people after all, and his body instinctively rejects this behavior, and every time he eats human flesh, he will have a strong sense of discomfort.

After the end of the military discussion that night, Si Yang sent another pot of human meat soup, Jin Shenghuan snorted and ate, patted his belly and smiled, and stood up: "This two-legged sheep tastes good, you use it slowly, this town will go and rest for a while."

Wang Deren's mouth was stuffed, and he waved his hand vaguely and said, "Dashuai go slowly." ”

Jin Shenghuan nodded, turned around and walked out of the Zhongjun Hall, but then walked faster and faster, and finally simply trotted up, ran all the way into his bedroom, and immediately hugged the toilet and vomited.

"Wang Zamao, this dog's day, eats human flesh and eats so deliciously, is he still human?" Thinking of Wang Deren's eating appearance of knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, Jin Shenghuan felt sick to his stomach again, and hugged the toilet for a while, but he couldn't spit out anything except some sour water.

"Take it out and bury it, open the window again, and pour me a glass of water......" Jin Shenghuan commanded his soldiers, then stood up and staggered to the bedside, didn't even take off the armor on his body, and fell weakly on the bed.

Twenty years ago, he joined the peasant army because he didn't want to eat people, but he didn't expect to spend half his life and finally return to the original point. But Jin Shenghuan knew that the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse, and even if he vomited clean afterwards, he would continue to pretend to be a man-eating demon in front of outsiders.

The soldiers sent a large glass of white water, Jin Shenghuan rinsed his mouth repeatedly, and only then did he feel better, but the room was still filled with a strange smell, and he stood up and walked out.

"Dashuai, do you want to bring you a bowl of white porridge?" The soldier asked cautiously, although white porridge is now a luxury, there is still a little last stock of food in the army.

"No need, come out with me first." Jin Shenghuan didn't have the slightest appetite, so he simply decided to go to check the sentry, he straightened his armor and then stepped out of the door, the tiredness on his face was suddenly swept away, and the next moment what appeared in front of everyone was the majestic general, as if he was beaten with iron.

Walking all the way to the south gate, there is a miserable apocalyptic scene everywhere, the people are easy to eat, starvation and rotting corpses can be seen everywhere, the army still has a basic ration of two taels of brown rice every day, so that there is no mutiny, but Jin Shenghuan knows very well that the last bit of food is about to be exhausted, if the reinforcements do not appear, the city will soon be in chaos without a fight.

Coming to the city gate, Jin Shenghuan climbed the city wall along the horse road and accidentally ran into Wang Deren.

At this moment, Wang Deren is like two people who are swaggering just now, he is standing alone behind the female wall, holding the battlement, leaning over to look at the distance outside the city, the burly figure unexpectedly looks a little rickety, and the cold wind blows, as if there is a feeling of the end of a hero.

"Coming?"

has been partners for several years, and they are very familiar with each other, Wang Deren only listened to the footsteps, and knew that the person behind him was Jin Shenghuan.

"Here we are."

has been partners for several years, and they are very familiar with each other, Jin Shenghuan has no extra nonsense, stands by Wang Deren's side, and looks out of the city together.

"Throwing up again, huh? If you can't stand it, don't hold on. Wang Deren said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing, I also feel disgusting when I eat human flesh." ”

"Then you still eat so deliciously every time...... Jin Shenghuan looked at him in surprise.

"I'm pretending to be that, too." Wang Deren said: "But I don't have as much reaction as you, I won't spit it out again if I eat it, and now I have some to eat, and I can't spoil a bowl of good meat." ”

Listening to the image he said, Jin Shenghuan felt a tumbling in his stomach again, and changed the topic and asked, "I don't know where Chu Jun is now, is there anything abnormal about Tartar today?" ”

"There's something wrong." Wang Deren pointed to the direction of the Qing army's camp and said: "The Tartars are too peaceful today, and the anti-death card has been put away." ”

Well? Jin Shenghuan hurriedly looked at the city, and sure enough, the death-free card in front of the Qing army camp was gone.

After the food in Nanchang City was cut off, the Qing army erected a few death-free cards outside the four gates, brought hot food every day, and shouted to lure the defenders in the city, but it is said that Tan Tai was not trustworthy, and some soldiers and civilians in the city could not resist hunger, so they fled to the Qing army camp, and after being tortured, they were all executed.

The snow around was dazzling, Jin Shenghuan put up a pergola with his hands, carefully observed the Qing army camp again, and muttered in his mouth: "Maybe it is because the reinforcements of the Chu army have arrived, and the Tartars have sent troops and horses to intercept it, so it will be like this." You see, are there fewer Tartar flags? ”

Wang Deren shook his head: "I have counted, the military flag is still about the same, but it may also be a suspicious formation, it is best to go out of the city to beat him, and you can find out the truth of the Tartar." ”

"This ......"

Wang Deren built a counterattack out of the city again, Jin Shenghuan frowned, hesitating.

There were two food shortages in the city, and the soldiers only had two taels of brown rice a day to hang their lives, and the long-term malnutrition caused the physical fitness to decline, and both the morale and combat effectiveness of the army were too far worse than usual, and they barely went out of the city to fight, and there was almost no possibility of victory.
