Chapter 649: Benevolence and Righteousness

Not only did it not go as Peng Ze wished, it simply made Peng Ze a little desperate, first the army of the imperial court took Nanchang City cleanly and completed the original strategic purpose!

Then Zhang Zhijie actually led part of the army to defeat King Ning's army in Qiaoshe! After hearing the news, Peng Ze felt his whole heart go cold! Zhang Zhijie's gang actually defeated King Ning's army! How did he defeat King Ning's army?

Peng Ze fell into a deep panic, now he can't advance or retreat, there is no point in continuing to wait here, if he leads troops to reinforce Jiangxi, it is just icing on the cake, it is difficult to offset his stain!

Therefore, Peng Ze's heart was actually very tormented, but his torment did not last long, because Emperor Zhengde's will had arrived, requiring Peng Ze's army and Anqing's defenders to immediately move westward to take Jiujiang City in one fell swoop and cut off the retreat of King Ning's army!

Now that the holy decree has arrived, there is no need to worry about it anymore, Peng Ze can only use his army to reinforce Jiangxi! And Wu Wending also received a holy decree from the emperor, asking him to lead the defenders of Anqing to the west and take Jiujiang City with Peng Ze's army!

After these days of rest, the defenders of Anqing have finally regained their combat strength! Now that he received the emperor's will, he didn't say anything, Wu Wending immediately gathered his troops and horses and prepared to go west to Jiangxi.

Peng Ze sent someone to inform Wu Wending, asking him to gather troops and horses to follow his army west! Wu Wending thought about it for a while, and had no objection, after all, the emperor's will was for him to take Jiujiang City together with Peng Ze's army!

However, Wu Wending was not unwary of Peng Ze, so the two seemingly inseparable armies marched to Jiangxi one after the other.

In fact, Peng Ze still has a glimmer of expectation in his heart, although Wu Wending and him are not of the same mind, but after all, now that the two armies are marching together, if they enter the territory of Jiangxi and meet King Ning's army, there will definitely be a big battle! This is an opportunity for him!

After receiving the order, the two armies did not dare to slack off, and marched rapidly day and night, and finally approached the city of Jiujiang! And at this time, they also heard the news that Zhang Zhijie had defeated King Ning's army again in Qiaoshe!

After King Ning's army suffered another crushing defeat, he retreated to Jiujiang City in a hurry! At this time, Wu Wending and Peng Ze had a disagreement again, and Wu Wending thought that the army should immediately take Jiujiang City and cut off King Ning's retreat!

But Peng Ze thinks that the generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, and they can't act pedanticly, and now King Ning's army has just experienced a fiasco, and it is the time when he can't stop worrying, so he just leads the army to attack it!

But Wu Wending resolutely disagreed, he thought that as long as Jiujiang was taken, King Ning would have no way to retreat, and when the time came, the army would attack together, and he could fight as much as he wanted! And now that the army has just arrived in Jiangxi, it is not familiar with the place, and it is not easy to intercept King Ning's army!

In the end, the two broke up unhappily, Wu Wending decided to attack Jiujiang City according to his will, and soon formulated a detailed strategy with his subordinates, and decided to attack Jiujiang at night! After all, Wu Wending's troops are not many, only 10,000 horses, and it is impossible to attack the city in a grand manner!

Peng Ze thought about it with a gloomy face, and finally did not act rashly! Instead, he watched Wu Wending's movements coldly, and guessed that Wu Wending wanted to attack Jiujiang City at night.

Now Peng Ze was a little undecided, and finally decided to see if it was possible for Wu Wending's night attack on Jiujiang to take Jiujiang City, if he took it, Peng Ze naturally wanted to pick peaches, if he failed to take Jiujiang City, then he had to think about it!

But what Peng Ze didn't expect was that the defenders of Jiujiang City were defenseless, and Wu Wending's men and horses easily climbed to the top of Jiujiang City!

Peng Ze almost regretted it, and his intestines were almost blue! Knowing this, he would have led the army alone to attack Jiujiang City at night! But now he can't give up the credit for the siege, Peng Ze hurriedly ordered his vanguard to grab the credit! As soon as his men and horses saw that the city had been attacked, it was a good time to grab the merits, and they were impatient and scrambling to attack the city.

Jiujiang City was captured in this way, and the men and horses under Wu Wending's command were indignant about Peng Ze's army's behavior of grabbing merit, but Wu Wending didn't care about it, as long as he successfully captured Jiujiang City!

After capturing Jiujiang City, Peng Ze also had a little bottom in his heart, and he was not inactive after capturing Jiujiang City so smoothly! But what made him a little unhappy was that the credit for this siege couldn't get around Wu Wending!

In order to build momentum for himself, Peng Ze's army became extremely high-profile after entering Jiujiang City! On the contrary, Wu Wending's people are much more low-key!

After the defenders of Jiujiang City escaped from the city in disarray, the guard Tang Jide looked back at the few thousand men and horses behind him, and felt like crying without tears! It's really miserable!

Now that he has fled from Jiujiang City in a hurry, Tang Jide is faced with a difficult choice, how to choose the road ahead!

In fact, this choice is not difficult, after losing Jiujiang, there are only a thousand soldiers and horses left, if he goes to defect to King Ning, he may not even be able to leave a whole corpse!

Tang Jide said to the two generals who escaped with him with a sad face: "Now that we have lost Jiujiang, King Ning will definitely not spare us!" What now? ”

The two generals were also dumbfounded, they only cared about fleeing out of the city in a hurry, and they didn't have time to think about these things! Now that they listened to Tang Jide's words, they immediately reacted, they lost Jiujiang City overnight, and King Ning would definitely not let them go!

Tang Jide said calmly: "There is only one way for us to go to King Ning now, although King Ning is kind to us, but we can't go to death, right?" ”

"General, although we don't have a large army, we still have thousands of brothers, since there is only one way to die if we defect to King Ning, then let's take our brothers and continue to fall into the grass!"

"Haha! Just what the doctor ordered! Don't call me a general, call me a master! Let's find a place to hide first, and when the war in Jiangxi is calm down and the army of the imperial court is evacuated, let's live our free life again! ”

"Not bad! Seeing that King Ning is not good anymore! Let's go and live a happy life by ourselves! ”

"Yes, the big boss is reasonable, without further ado, let's go quickly!"

Seeing that the generals all agreed with his words, Tang Jide felt suddenly enlightened, and it was not bad to continue to fall into the grass!

However, they have been with King Ning for a long time, and they have lived a comfortable life for a few years by King Ning, so it is a little inappropriate to just leave!

Tang Jide groaned: "King Ning is still good to our brothers, and now he is sorry for losing Jiujiang!" It's not good to just leave, let's send someone to tell King Ning the news of the fall of Jiujiang, and we can count our benevolence and righteousness as enough! ”
