Chapter 69: Turning Grief into Strength

Because of the close distance, when Tu had already received the rumors, Wuhu seemed to be in trouble.

The specific battle situation has not yet been ascertained, but it is certain that Wuhu County has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and according to the scout's report, the Ming army brigade is divided into two roads, and the horse infantry soldiers are more than 5,000 people, and they are approaching Dangtu quickly, the momentum is violent, and the intention is not good, and the cavalry troops in the vanguard will kill the city of Dangtu about an hour later.

When Tu Zhifu was a civil official who had never fought a war, he immediately panicked.

When suddenly faced with great danger, ordinary people's reflexes and judgment will be greatly reduced, and they will make irreparable and serious mistakes, and they are often low-level mistakes that will never occur in ordinary times, and this phenomenon is called panic.

In a panic, the prefect Tu made an inconspicuous low-level mistake, he ordered the city gate to be opened and the routs into the city.

At first glance, this order seems fine...... When Tu is the capital city of the Taiping Mansion, the city wall is relatively strong, and there is an urn city in the city gate, but there are only dozens of routs, as long as you are careful, you won't make much trouble.

The next thing proved that his judgment seemed to be correct, under the surveillance of the defenders, this group of defeated soldiers was very honest after entering the city, and they carefully checked their identities one by one, and they were all generals of the Tu Green Battalion, and they definitely did not infiltrate the Ming army.

What he didn't expect was that this group of defeated soldiers was themselves spies of the Ming army, and after they returned to the barracks, most of the defenders of the green camp in the city also became spies of the Ming army......

The green camp master who stayed behind in Dangtu was named Kaludai, and he was a Manchurian.

Although the ordinary soldiers and low-ranking officers in the Manchu Green Battalion were all Han Chinese, they were in order to strengthen their control. There were also a few Manchurians who served as high-ranking officers. This Kaludai is the deputy general of the Tu Green Battalion and the deputy of Bu Congshan. The son of the Eight Banners is not yet thirty years old this year.

Although not yet thirty years old. Kaludai is a veteran with more than ten years of military experience, long before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he was a member of the Eight Banners, because of the ancestor Yin Gong so he was promoted quickly, not long ago he was sent to Bu Congshan Army as a deputy general.

Similar to decentralized training, it is not a good idea to be an officer in the green battalion, and you can generally be promoted if you stay up for two years and transfer back, and Kaludai does not plan to stay as the commander of the green battalion, and as an airborne cadre. He didn't have too many cronies around him, and this time Bu Congshan sent troops to Chizhou Mansion, and he only sent two clothed minions to accompany the army.

Hearing that Bu Congshan's soldiers were defeated and died, he hurriedly inquired about the whereabouts of his two clothed minions, but those defeated soldiers didn't know anything, it seemed that they were likely to die in the chaos with Bu Congshan. Since this was already the case, Ka Lu Dai didn't care about being distressed, and hurriedly summoned the generals. Deploy the city defense of Dangtu and prepare to defend against the Chu army that is about to be killed.

The Ming army came from the southeast and southwest, and the south gate and the east gate were the most important, and he personally guarded the south gate. The task of guarding the east gate was entrusted to the general Bu Congde.

Bu Congde is the biological brother of Bu Congshan's compatriots, and his appearance is burly and rough. But he was a person with rich feelings, and he heard that the eldest brother died at the hands of Chu Jun. Crying so much that both eyes were red. Kaludai comforted him and encouraged him to fight the thief. Avenge the kindness of Bu Congshan.

"Please rest assured, Lord Xietai, the last general will definitely stick to the east gate, even if he is broken, he will never take a step back!"

Bu Congde wiped away his tears and turned his grief into strength, his two eyes burned with bitter hatred for the Chu army, and he was almost about to burst into flames, and his anger value was obviously full, and he could amplify his moves at any time.

Seeing that he was full of fighting spirit and morale, Kaludai felt much more relieved. When Tu Chengchi is strong, as long as the defenders themselves don't mess up, the Chu army that dares to run three hundred miles long distance will definitely hit their heads and bleed.

Seeing that Bu Congde was too excited, Ka Lu Dai specially instructed that there were only more than 1,600 green battalion soldiers in Tu City, because the troops were too small, so they must first defend the city, and they must not fight lightly.

The enemy situation was urgent, and after the arrangements were set, the brief military meeting ended quickly, and the generals went back to prepare.

Bu Congde walked out of the Central Military Hall, returned to his barracks, and just walked to the door, but ran into the guerrilla general Wang Tieba, and the Chinese army Du Si Buqi, who had just fled back to Dangtu. The two of them hid under a big tree, muttering something, and when they saw Bu Congde coming, they waved at him again and again.

"Come here, I'm looking for you!" Wang Tieba has followed Bu Congshan for many years, and he is his brother, although he is shouting, his voice is very low, and he looks anxious and nervous.

"You two grimaces, what are you doing?" Bu Congde felt very strange, looked left and right, and then walked over.

After a while, a strange cry suddenly came from behind the tree, and then there was no sound again.

Behind the big tree, Wang Tiezhu pressed Bu Congde's mouth and whispered word by word: "I repeat, the eldest brother is not dead, and he is alive and well." Seventh, take out the handwritten letter of the handsome man......"

After careful preparations, the time for the Chu army to attack Tongling and Wuhu was just right, and as soon as the city was broken here, it had already turned to the next target.

Under the pursuit of the Jiang cavalry battalion and the Xiqi battalion, most of the rout troops who escaped from Wuhu were annihilated, and when a few people fled to the city, the cavalry of the Chu army also arrived immediately, and saw that there was obvious danger, when Tu Zhifu and Kaludai did not open the city gate again.

The cavalry of the Chu army sent a small force to chase and kill, but the main force stopped under the city of Dangtu, pulling out a loose encirclement outside the city to monitor the movements of the Qing army in the city.

"The Chu thief is really going to attack Dangtu, it's a good time!" As a noble son of the Eight Banners, he longs to fight on the battlefield like his ancestors.

He has already sent people to Ma Guozhu and Zhang Tianlu for help, Nanjing is only one hundred and forty miles away from Dangtu, Zhang Tianlu has the help of the warships of the sailors, as long as he holds out until noon tomorrow, the reinforcements should arrive...... Next, let's fight a decisive battle under Dangtu City, the Chu army has a long-distance attack, people are sleepy and horses are tired, and Dangtu City is their burial place!

The cavalry of the Chu army was divided into a part of the manpower and set up camp in the village, while the other cavalry still monitored the Qing army in the city and had no other movements. In the tense confrontation, time passed minute by minute, and in the middle of the afternoon, a cloud of dust was raised in the distance of the official road, and red battle flags appeared in the field of vision, and the main force of the Chu army arrived!

Seeing the Chu army team gradually approaching, Kaludai was calm...... Suddenly, there was a great chaos in the direction of the east gate, and the shouts of killing suddenly sounded, as if it was near the city gate. (To be continued!)
