The information from the front line was too chaotic, and the accounts of the defeated soldiers and scouts from all walks of life were inconsistent, and Zhang Tianlu did not understand how Tongling, Wuhu and Dangtu were lost at the beginning.

Although there were many defeated soldiers who claimed that Bu Congshan sent people to open the city gate by fraud, Zhang Tianlu did not believe it. Bu Congshan has been waiting in the Lin family in a good manner, and the five-day period has passed for four days, and it is said that tomorrow he will launch a general attack on Mantou Mountain.

In the past few days, Zhang Tianlu has sent people to check several times, Bu Congshan's 400 men and horses are all in Linjiachong, how could they go to Dangtu, which is 300 miles away? You must know that he just lost a battle a few days ago, and was captured by the Chu army A lot of banner and trumpet clothing, and his banner was stolen by the Chu army, this possibility is completely existent.

No matter what personal grievances there are between him and Bu Congshan, they must be put aside now, and the reasons for the loss of Dangtu and other places must be found first...... He sent someone to Bu Congshan's army again and summoned him to discuss matters on the ship, but Bu Congshan pushed back and didn't show his head.

Zhang Tianlu finally faintly felt that something was wrong. He once again sent a henchman general to lead the five hundred green battalions to Lin Jiachong, and gave a death order, even if he turned his face and did it, he must bring Bu Congshan back.

Before leaving, Zhang Tianlu specially instructed that although Bu Congshan only had 400 men and horses, there were still an unknown number of Chu troops in Guichi City, if Bu Congshan really had any collusion with the Chu army, only these 500 green battalions might not be their opponents, so they must be cautious when they go, and if the situation is not right, they will withdraw immediately, and do not fall into an ambush.

The general Nono shouted again and took the order.

After they left, Zhang Tianlu couldn't sit still in the cabin. I always feel uneasy, as if there is an important issue that I have overlooked. But I can't think of anything.

He pushed the door open and walked out of the cabin, holding on to the side of the boat and staring at the river. Blown by the cool river breeze, his brain cleared up a lot, and he suddenly raised his hand to shine on his cheeks and slapped him heavily.

"Smack!"

The voice was crisp, and the surrounding soldiers turned their heads to look this way, and when they saw that their own military gate was complaining about themselves, they quickly turned their heads and pretended not to see anything.

"It's broken!" The more Zhang Tianlu thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he couldn't help but smack his mouth again.

Just thinking about the main force of the Chu army went to Taiping Mansion. However, I forgot the information I received yesterday, most of the Dongguan battalion and the Pingjiang battalion of the Chu army had left Dongzhi County and were marching north along the south bank of the Yangtze River, and they should have reached the vicinity of Guichi today.

Even if the five hundred green battalions sent are careful, if they are besieged by tens of thousands of Chu troops, there is a chance that something will happen.

It's too late to regret!

That's going to have to be remedied!

He immediately sent the Kang Zhong army to chase after the five hundred green battalions.

Kang Zhongjun is Zhang Tianlu's henchman, and his executioners are measured, and the ten military sticks are like tickling. After only a few days, he was completely restored, and he did not delay the horseback riding at all. He took a few cavalrymen, and also with Zhang Tianlu's ardent expectations, and left.

Kang Zhongjun ran out less than ten miles. I was confronted by a group of green battalion routs.

said it was a group, but in fact there were only more than 30 people, and they lost their armor one by one. Empty-handed, weapons and equipment are gone. The appearance is extremely wolf. When asked about the other more than 400 green battalion soldiers, they had all been wiped out by the Chu army. If these 30-odd people were not completely and completely relieved of their burdens, they would certainly not be able to escape......

At noon the next day, Zhang Jiayu and Wang Jincai led the army to leave Guichi, and the new Daming Chi Tai General Bu Congshan went out of the city to see him off.

"Bu Shuai stay, after we leave, the defense of Guichi will be handed over to you, don't slacken!" Wang Jincai's expression was arrogant, and his tone was condescending, as if he was reprimanding his subordinates.

Bu Congshan did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, as if Wang Jincai should be this attitude as a matter of course, he respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Please rest assured Zhang Shuai and Wang Shuai, the last general will definitely defend Guichi steadily, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

Zhang Jiayu nodded: "Zhang Tianlu has retreated to Nanjing, although you have few soldiers and horses, Guichi is not in danger for the time being." Wang Junmen has ordered that your subordinates will be transferred to Guichi, and when the time comes, Bu Shuai has 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which is enough to defend the Chizhou Mansion, if the Qing army crosses the Yangtze River to attack, Bu Shuai only needs to close the door without fighting, waiting for reinforcements from Dongzhi and Dongliu counties, and he can be invincible. ”

"The last general will take care of it!"

Bu Congshan saluted again and thanked him, after he returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, Wang Kefan did not deprive him of his military power, which made him very happy.

A few days ago, he was attacked head-on by the Chu army, and his more than 1,500 green battalion soldiers lost nearly seventy percent, in addition to those who were killed and escaped, there were more than 400 green battalion soldiers as prisoners, and after Bu Congshan was anyway, these captives had been returned to him...... Now he has more than 600 people under his command, and if Wang Tieba, Bu Congde and other troops are transferred to Chizhou Mansion, he will be able to basically recover his vitality.

After the Dongguan battalion and the Pingjiang battalion left Guichi, they protected a large baggage force and advanced towards Tongling County together. Because of the large number of baggage materials carried, the marching degree of the troops was very slow, Zhang Jiayu and Wang Jincai walked side by side, chatting casually from time to time.

"Well, Guichi is a city after all, will there be any hidden dangers if you put Bu Congshan, the general, here?" Zhang Jiayu was a little worried.

"It should be fine. Since he has returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, he can't go back immediately, even if he deliberately surrendered, and now that the fake has come true, the Tartar will no longer believe him. ”

Wang Jincai pointed around with a horsewhip and said: "Let's attack Nanzhili all the way, if we leave heavy troops to defend everywhere, no one will fight if we don't go far, so Wang Junmen is also forced to reuse a general like Bu Congshan." ”

Zhang Jiayu nodded, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked again: "I don't know something, and I still have to ask Wang Shuai for advice, Wang Junmen transferred all of us to Dangtu, is he preparing to attack Nanjing?" ”

"I don't understand this either." Wang Jincai said: "Our army's battle line is too long now, and the grain road may be cut off by the Qing army at any time, which is a taboo for soldiers. If you want to talk about fighting Nanjing, a fortified city like Nanjing can't be defeated in ten days and half a month, I can't guess what Wang Junmen plans to do......"

Wang Jincai's Pingjiang battalion was the largest battalion of the Chu army, although it left 3,000 men and horses in Dongliu County, but there were still more than 10,000 people, plus the Dongguan battalion and a huge baggage army, marching all the way to the north.

After arriving in Tongling County, they met the Xicai battalion that came to meet them, and the march was significantly accelerated, and then they arrived in Wuhu, and then they met the Jiangcai battalion to meet them, and soon rushed to Dangtu together to join Wang Kefan.

With the transfer of the main force of the Dongguan battalion and the Pingjiang battalion to Dangtu, the current formation deployment of the Chu army is like a bean sprout with a big head and a thin neck, tens of thousands of troops gather in Dangtu, in front of which is the strong city of Nanjing, but behind is a supply line of 500 miles long, and this supply line is under the nose of the Qing army's sailors, and the danger is self-evident.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a war, and the generals of the Chu army do not understand this.

What is Wang Junmen going to do? (To be continued!)
