Chapter 591: The Battle Under the City
It turned out that the army of the imperial court was divided into two routes, one was led by Emperor Zhengde, Zhang Zhijie and Wang Shouren to Jiangxi, and one was led by Peng Ze to aid Anqing!
After knowing the news of the imperial army, King Ning did not feel frightened, but was a little eager to try! Although I hit Anqing for a month, I didn't fight down! That's because his army is not good at attacking cities! If it is a field battle, how can you be afraid of the army of the imperial court?
Of course, King Ning is not afraid, he will be afraid, if he is afraid, he will not rebel! Especially this time it happened to be Peng Ze who led the troops, although Peng Zegui was the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but for leading the troops to fight, he obviously had no reputation!
If Zhang Zhijie or Wang Shouren led the troops, King Ning would still be afraid of one or two! For Peng Ze, hehe, a pedantic scholar!
The imperial army actually divided its troops, didn't it just give him a chance to break through? After knowing the news sent back by the spies, King Ning made a feint to attack Anqing while preparing for the upcoming battle!
Peng Ze's army rushed towards King Ning's army all the way unabashedly, in his mind, although his army was very tired day and night, but King Ning's army was definitely even more tired after fighting day and night! Who knows, King Ning's army has already known, and has already ordered a break to feint and attack Anqing!
This change was noticed by Anqing's guards, the prefect Wu Wending, for the first time! Calculate the time, at this time, the army of the imperial court should be approaching! The actions of King Ning's army undoubtedly corroborate a point!
Wu Wending immediately realized that King Ning's army must be preparing to meet the army of the imperial court! Wu Wending couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect that the army of the imperial court would choose to rush to the aid of Anqing!
What Wu Wending was most looking forward to was that the army of the imperial court ignored the battle of Anqing and marched directly into Jiangxi! Because although the situation in Anqing City is not very good now, Wu Wending thinks that he can still persevere!
And the army of the imperial court directly recovered Jiangxi, forcing King Ning to lead the army back to Nanchang, and then waiting for work is the right way! Different from Wang Shouren and Zhang Zhijie's speculation, Wu Wending was really sure that King Ning would definitely return to Nanchang instead of marching into Nanjing! I have been going back and forth with King Ning for a month, and Wu Wending can still figure out this little bit of King Ning's thoughts!
Originally, Wu Wending still felt that when Zhang Zhijie put down the rebellion in Bazhou, his command was remarkable, but it was not a waste of fame. Besides, he also knows the ability of the king and the donkey, and he should be able to understand it!
I didn't expect the army of the imperial court to directly rush to the aid of Anqing, in this way, once the war is unfavorable, Ning Wangzhou's division goes west, and the army directly turns back to Jiujiang or Nanchang, then the war will be troublesome!
Jiujiang and Nanchang are both important towns, after gathering the army of King Ning, the soldiers and food are enough to defend the city, it is not so easy to capture it, I don't know how much time it will take, how much army grain and grass will be consumed!
Peng Ze led the army to finally rush to Anqing City, and King Ning's army was really attacking Anqing City! Hearing the scout's return, Peng Ze couldn't help but sneer, what a fool! I didn't even know that the army of the imperial court was about to arrive!
Peng Ze directly ordered the army to attack, King Ning's army is attacking the city, and now the enemy is on his back, the defenders of Anqing Mansion will go out of the city again, and under the front and back attacks, King Ning will definitely be defeated!
Even if there was no Anqing's defenders to attack, Peng Ze was confident that the army he led would be able to defeat King Ning's army!
Sure enough, King Ning's army was about to collapse at the first touch! The battle is one-sided! King Ning's army retreats to the waters!
Everything is under control, Peng Ze leads the army to press forward step by step! Victory is already beckoning to him, at this time, Peng Ze's most eager heart is to catch King Ning, if King Ning escapes, King Ning, who is defeated and returned, will definitely flee to Jiangxi in a hurry! That's just making a wedding dress for someone else!
Wu Wending, who was far away in Anqing City, led the generals in the city to stand on the city tower and witness the battle under the city, and Wu Wending was sad and indignant! Who the hell is leading the troops? What the hell is this?
This is too much to take King Ning's army seriously, right? It's too eager for quick success, isn't it? Wu Wending slapped his palm on the city wall, it was so annoying!
The rest of the generals on the city wall had a wide field of vision and could see clearly, and couldn't help but look at each other and said, "The army of the imperial court is about to be tricked!" The Northern Army did not know water warfare, and once it was introduced into an ambush and cut off the retreat, this 。。。。。。 ”
"Governor Wu, are we going to send troops to respond!" Chu Tianba hesitated.
"Catch a ball! You don't know what's going on in our city right now! We've done everything we can to stop King Ning's army here! How can you have the ability to send troops! Moreover, King Ning's army is full of bandits and bandits, although the discipline is not good, and they are not good at attacking cities, but in this kind of watery land, the army cannot form a formation, if you want to fight, King Ning's army is not weak! Wu Wending's face was ugly.
In fact, everyone knows what Wu Wending said, but the army of the imperial court came to help, and they watched the army of the imperial court being ambushed and defeated, which is a bit unreasonable!
What's more, although I don't know who led the troops, it must be a high-ranking official! The most important ones are all soldiers and soldiers, but they are not comparable to these county generals!
Just watching the army of the imperial court defeated, if they are finally held accountable, it is inevitable that no one will blame them!
In fact, Wu Wending also knew what they were thinking, but he couldn't ignore the soldiers and civilians of Anqing City in order to get rid of his responsibility, and he knew that going out of the city would be useless, so he could only bury the fruits of this month's hard defense of the city with one hand!
How could he, Wu Wending, do something that violated his conscience? Therefore, Wu Wending immediately said in a deep voice: "This place is Anqing, and it has always been the master of this government, and this government now orders that no one is allowed to lead troops to battle!" ”
The lords and generals in the city all understand that Wu Wending is taking the responsibility on himself, even if someone really investigates it in the future and wants to find a scapegoat, they will be picked out!
The generals in the city are very grateful, Wu Wending is such a person, so in such a short period of time, all the horses and horses were twisted into a rope, which kept Anqing and curbed the progress of King Ning's army!
Just as the guards on Anqing City were discussing, Peng Ze's face finally changed drastically, and he realized that his army had been ambushed! At this time, Peng Ze's face turned pale, but it was too late!
The warships on the river were like rain of arrows, and King Ning's army was not as vulnerable as he thought, watching his army continue to fall like cutting wheat! Peng Ze couldn't help but look up at Anqing City in the distance, but Anqing City was still like a quiet giant beast, very quiet!
