Zheng Jue received the news that night that Guangzhou was lost, Zhu Yulu Junchen was martyred, through the intelligence network of the firm, Zheng Jue found out that it was Zhu Zhijian who led the troops to defect, which led to such a big loss of the Ming army, Zheng Jue angrily threw the report out, suddenly thought about something and wrote a letter

"Uncle Wang, this letter, you can find someone to send it to Zesheng Zeren" Zheng Jue rubbed his eyes weakly, and sat on the chair tiredly

At this moment, in the yamen of the prefect of Zhaoqing, Zeren Zesheng and Liu Shibo are looking at the topographic map of Guangdong in a daze, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Zhaoqing, and according to intelligence, Li Chengdong has an army of 50,000, plus Zhu Zhijian's defective troops, there are more than 70,000 Qing troops looking at Zhaoqing City, how can everyone rest assured

"Forget it, Governor Liu, rest early, Ming'er has to get up early, we can't see any way here" Ze Sheng asked Governor Liu to rest early, after all, he has to raise some stones and other things to defend the city tomorrow

In fact, Ze Sheng is not very afraid of Li Chengdong's 70,000 troops, after all, Li Chengdong is just a rogue born like the Great Western Army, and later after Zhao'an, the Qing Dynasty is at most a little stronger than the ordinary Ming army's combat effectiveness, Zhaoqing City is high and strong, and the grasp of holding Zhaoqing Zesheng is still relatively large, but according to intelligence, Kong Youde's 100,000 army behind Li Chengdong, Ze Sheng's heart is bottomless

Kong Youde's subordinates, although they are also Han soldiers, are organized in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and they are not comparable to ordinary green battalion soldiers like Li Chengdong

Fortunately, Kong Youde is still far away from Zhaoqing, Zesheng didn't have much worry about Zhaoqing, and went to sleep after reading the map

At this time, outside the city of Guangzhou, due to the contradiction between Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong, Tong Yangjia reported to the obedient king Kong Youde, and Kong Youde had to speed up the march south

"Master, a few caravans were sneakily following us just now, and they have already sent someone to take them down," a soldier with a money rattail reported to an old man

"Well, the whereabouts of the army can't be exposed, so it's going to be a surprise, have we entered Liangguang?" The old man asked with squinting eyes as he lay on the big bed in the tent

"Back to the master, I have entered, this place is already under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Prefecture"

"Who is the person in charge of Liangguang and where is he now?" The old man looked lazy, like an old cat with salted dried fish in front of his mouth, too lazy to eat, but exuding a kind of majesty that people dare not grab the dried fish

"Back to the master, it's Zhu Zhijian"

"Oh, he, where is he now?"

"Now under General Li Chengdong" As soon as the old man heard that he was under Li Chengdong, he slowly opened his eyes, and a murderous aura suddenly shot out of his pupils

"Who put him under Li Chengdong? He's had enough to live."

The soldier leaned over and handed over a piece of music, and said, "This is the excerpt handed over by Zhu Zhijian a few days ago, take a look at it, master, take a look" The old man took the music, made it, and looked at this piece of music through the ray of sunlight shining in from outside the tent

The old man's brows slowly shrunk, "Who is this Zheng Jue?" Where did it come from?! Let's see if the few caravans we packed just now are all caravans from Longchen Trading House."

"Back to the master, the little one I just saw, it is the caravan of Longchen Trading House, and it is about to pass through" The old man sneered when he heard this, laughing so much that he was furious, the old man got up and walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen and wrote

"Go, arrange for someone to send this letter to Zhu Zhijian's kid, and be careful of the caravan of Longchen Trading House recently, as soon as you get close, kill them on the spot, and the whole army will move forward at full speed" The old man returned to the state of concentration just now, and his soldiers retreated lightly

Li Chengdong of Guangzhou received a letter from Kong Youde reprimanding him, and had to open the city gate to let Tong Yangjia enter the city, although both claimed that it was a misunderstanding, but the estrangement between the two has been a long time, how could it be changed because of a letter from Kong Youde?

After Tong Yangjia entered the city, as the governor of Liangguang, he ordered Li Chengdong's troops to march west to Zhaoqing to prepare for the army to enter Guangxi

Li Chengdong had no choice but to take the troops that had just been recruited, and killed Zhaoqing in a mighty way, and within a few days, he came to Zhaoqing with troops

More than 70,000 troops surrounded Zhaoqing on three sides, southeast and north, and Liu Shibo on the city was full of sweat

"Two generals, this Zhaoqing can be entrusted to the two" Ze Sheng looked at the Qing army under the city, although there was a large area of Wuyang, but there was no tacit understanding, he breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Liu Shibo

"Lord Liu, don't worry, as long as I am waiting, it is impossible for tens of thousands of Qing troops outside the city to enter Guandi."

Ze Sheng laughed and said, yesterday Ze Sheng had asked Zeren to go back to Jingyuan to help Zheng Jue, one Ze Sheng in Zhaoqing City was enough, there were too many people to command, Ze Ren was also happy, and returned to Jingyuan happily

"General Sun, the Tartars are attacking the city, you see that the ladders have been erected" Following the direction that Liu Shibo said, Ze Sheng saw the Qing army that had set up the ladder and was approaching Zhaoqing City

"Lord Liu, don't panic, watch me repair and repair them haha, pass on my order, each cannon will correct Zhuyuan, and prepare to launch!"

With Sun Zesheng's order, dozens of cannons were fired at the artillery at the east gate, aiming at the Qing army like ants under the city

"Fire!"

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

……

All of a sudden, the sound of artillery was loud, and the war drums of the Ming and Qing armies were also accompanied by the sound of artillery

The shells only smashed a few ladders, and the rest of the Qing army, after hearing the cannonade, began to rush towards Zhaoqing

Ze Sheng pulled out his waist knife, stepped on a ladder with one foot, two pro-soldiers went over to hold the ladder with a "kill" Ze Sheng's feet with a force, the two pro-soldiers also cooperated with this Ze Sheng's force, the ladder was used by the lever on the side close to the ground "click" and broke into two sections, and a few Qing soldiers with money rat tails climbed a small section and fell to the ground fiercely, and there were also injured feet

The battle officially began, tens of thousands of people poured into the city gate like a tide, and the siege cone stabbed at the city gate, watching the continuous death of people under the city and on the city wall, Liu Shibo's face gradually turned pale

After all, it's just a matter of talking about working hard with the Tartars and really seeing and fighting with the Tartars

Ze Sheng received an order not to expose some of Jingyuan's weapons too early, such as grenades, flowering bombs and other sharp weapons to defend the city, Zheng Jue was strictly ordered not to use them without authorization

But even so, Li Chengdong's soldiers and horses were still blocked under the city by Ze Sheng, today it was just a tentative attack, and it took less than two hours to fight, Ze Sheng heard the sound of Mingjin in the Qing army camp in the distance, and pulled Liu Shibo off the city wall with a loud laugh

"Lord Liu, how is it? This tartar has three heads and six arms, huh? Hahaha"
