Chapter 589: Heavenly Trench
The next King Ning seemed to have regained his luck, and several battles were quite smooth, which made King Ning, who had been a little shaken in confidence, regain his confidence and feel that the destiny of heaven was still on his side!
Not only did King Ning regain his confidence, but even his subordinates also rekindled their fighting spirit! At this time, King Ning didn't know if he was abandoned by the Cardinal Sect, although he only fought a few battles and captured a few small cities after leaving Jiangxi, it was very smooth!
In this way, King Ning had an illusion, was the Cardinal Sect helping him? Therefore, although King Ning still couldn't contact the Cardinal Sect at this time, he began to have expectations in his heart again.
Moreover, even if it wasn't for the Cardinal Sect helping him, the war was so smooth, it also made the panic in King Ning's heart dissipate!
King Ning's army began to move eastward again with high morale, but what King Ning didn't know was that the stubborn resistance he encountered in Nankang was delayed for seven days, and finally caused bad results.
After Wu Wending, the prefect of Anqing, learned the news of King Ning's visit, he quickly judged that King Ning was very likely to go down the river east to seek Nanjing! And Anqing will undoubtedly be an important pass!
In the face of King Ning's rebellion, he was not only not afraid of cowardice, but actively consolidated the city defense, recruited village warriors, and summoned soldiers from various counties to gather in Anqing.
Chu Tianba successfully delayed the footsteps of King Ning's army in Nankang, and there was no doubt that this gave Wu Wending valuable time!
With King Ning's army attacking the city along the river, the defenders of the small city and small county were simply not enough to compete with King Ning's army. After the city was broken, these horses went down the river to the east, and finally they were all gathered in Anqing City by Wu Wending.
At this time, the imperial court's edict of rebellion finally came to Anqing, Wu Wen showed everyone the imperial court's edict, and encouraged everyone, now the emperor has led the army south to quell the rebellion, King Ning is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't be long before he jumps!
As long as we hold Anqing City and hold the road to Nanjing from King Ning, it will be a great achievement! Now the Anqing garrison has 15,000 soldiers and horses, and they are in danger and against the difficulty!
In fact, the defenders of Anqing also felt that although it was a little difficult to win against King Ning's army with the defenders of Anqing, there was no problem in holding Anqing, because there was a living example in Anqing City!
This example is Brother Tianba, who is still alive and kicking up and down, and he only relied on his three thousand brothers to guard the small city of Nankang, blocking King Ning's army for seven days! Brother Tianba became famous in a fight!
The confident King Ning finally came to Anqing along the river, and King Ning at this time was really a little high-spirited, because he only encountered a small setback when he was in Nankang, and he successfully hit Anqing!
This means that we are already halfway there! It's only half the distance from Nanjing! How does this not make King Ning full of confidence and high spirits!
On King Ning's warship, all the generals asked for battle, and they were bound to take Anqing within one day! On the city wall of Anqing, Wu Wending saw the grand occasion of King Ning's army covering the river for more than ten miles, not only was he not afraid, but said arrogantly: "One month!" We must hold on for a month! At this time, the army of the imperial court arrived, and the fall of King Ning was only an overnight moment! ”
The tragic siege battle finally started under the city of Anqing, and for a time the arrows rained down, the corpses were all over the field, and the screams were endless!
The remnant sun was like blood, and King Ning, who had collected the army, had a somewhat unsightly face, but he didn't expect that after attacking for a whole day, there were countless casualties, and there was no progress at all! This made King Ning and the generals who had already boasted of Haikou disgraced, but they were not discouraged yet!
A day has passed, two days have passed, ten days have passed, and twenty days have passed, and King Ning's face is no longer ordinary iron blue, but blue with purple, purple with black, his eyes are blood-red, and his eye circles are black!
All kinds of methods have been used, persuasion, temptation, King Ning even promised to make Wu Wending king, and then sent 10,000 taels of gold, but there is no at all, this goods is not oil and salt!
It's not that oil and salt don't enter, the 10,000 taels of gold are like meat buns beating dogs and never returning, and Wu Wending rewarded the army, making the army more momentum than before, which made King Ning angry and almost wanted to vomit blood!
King Ning, who gritted his teeth, exhausted all kinds of methods, but Anqing City was still there! It's like a moat, and you can't get past it!
And now, King Ning has finally determined that the Cardinal Sect has really disappeared from him! His army has been fighting in Anqing for so long, and the war is not going well, and there is no news of Mr. Zhuang or the Cardinal Sect!
The Cardinal Sect's Nengnai Ning King knew, and it was impossible for her not to know her current situation, but why didn't the Cardinal Sect make a move? Thinking of this, King Ning was very angry and panicked in his heart!
Over the years, although the Cardinal Sect has helped King Ning a lot, King Ning has not thrown any more money into the Cardinal Sect! It can be said that King Ning is definitely the big financier of the Cardinal Sect, and without King Ning's financial support, there would be no Cardinal Sect today!
But at this critical time, the Cardinal Sect actually disappeared, and disappeared without a trace! At this time, King Ning couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, it is very likely that the Cardinal Sect has only been using himself over the years, and he has never really obeyed himself at all!
Thinking of this, King Ning panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but hate the mother-in-law of the Cardinal Sect, who betrayed himself at the last moment, and when he ascended the throne as emperor in Nanjing, you will regret it again, and you will definitely kneel down and plead bitterly when the time comes!
Just when King Ning was holding each other under Anqing City, Zhang Zhijie and the others had already received the news!
The first time I received the news, when King Ning was blocked in Anqing, Wang Shouren once asserted that if King Ning wanted to take Anqing City, it would take at least a month! Because Wang Shouren agrees with the ability of Wu Wending, the prefect of Anqing!
This is undoubtedly exciting news, if King Ning's army is really blocked in Anqing for a month, then King Ning's army will never be able to reach Nanjing City!
After gathering the soldiers and horses recruited by Anhui and Jiangsu, the army continued to move southward rapidly, and at this time, according to the news from Jinyiwei, although twenty days have passed, the army of King Ning is still blocked under Anqing City, and Anqing City is still immovable, and there is no sign of being broken!
Faced with King Ning's army being blocked under Anqing City, this situation was neither the worst nor the best, and the imperial army that arrived in Lu'an finally had to discuss how to march.
At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, there was a serious disagreement on the formulation of the final strategy!
