Chapter Fifty-Eight: When Officers and Soldiers Meet Robbers
"What are the casualties of my Jiangbei army?" Ji Gang's face was cold, and his eyes were glowing with cold light. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jin Yiwei was shocked by Ji Gang's expression, and hurriedly said: "The casualties of the Jiangbei battalion are about 10,000, and the casualties of the soldiers defending the city in Zhenjiang are about 40,000, but this is only the approximate number, and the specific value needs further statistics!" ”
"10,000 for 40,000 casualties, it's worth it!" Zhu Song thought about it in his heart and said: "This king heard that the defenders of Zhenjiang had a total of 130,000, and this time he went to more than 30% of the defenders, so it can be regarded as a victory." ”
The Yan army, which is not good at water, was able to eat the 40,000 army of Zhenjiang, which is extremely watery, from this point of view, how erosive the soldiers of the imperial court are.
"Your Highness's words are wrong!" Mu Suzhou frowned and said: "This time, my Jiangbei army has more than 10,000 casualties, which is really a pity!" ”
"Not bad!" Ji Gang was also very emotional, "The Jingnan army is the tiger and wolf army in my north, even if it is a sacrifice, it is the loss of the Jingnan army!" ”
"Alright, don't say those sensational words to this king!" Zhu Song interrupted Mu Su a little impatiently, and said, "Since the Four Emperor Brothers failed to cross the river, then we can only think of other ways, after all, the 100,000 army that is chasing after is not vegetarian, once it fights with this 100,000 army, Zhu Shaoqian will definitely seize this opportunity to send troops to Jiangbei, and when the time comes, the Four Emperor Brothers will be in danger!" ”
"But Your Highness, we have tried all the methods we can think of now, and there is no other way!" Ji Gang's face turned even colder, "It's really not good, you can only carry out the assassination mission!" ”
"You're crazy!" Mu Su was surprised: "Now the entire Zhenjiang is blocked like an iron bucket, and our Jinyi Guard's people can't get in at all, you still want to assassinate Zhu Shaoqian, do you want our Jinyi Guards to die?"
"Humph!" Ji Gang glanced at Mu Su coldly and said, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" I waited for the prince's kindness to be taken under my command, and this life was already the prince's! What is there to fear if you die for the king?"
"You ......" Mu Su still wanted to argue with Ji Gang, but at this time Zhu Song spoke.
"Okay, you two are both close friends around the Four Emperor Brothers, what are you arguing about at this time?"
Zhu Song put down the teacup in his hand heavily, and continued: "If you can break the Zhenjiang Mansion with your mouth, then the four emperor brothers don't need to have a headache because of this!"
“……”
Ji Gang and Mu Su all fell silent, because they also knew that Zhu Song's words were correct, and the two of them were indeed a little confused.
Knock knock!
Zhu Song knocked his fingers on the table one by one, and only after a long time did he say, "I heard that the prefect of Zhenjiang will enter the capital every half month?"
"Yes!"
Mu Su didn't know why Zhu Song suddenly asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "It's already the middle of the month now, and the prince failed to forcibly cross the river, I believe that within a day or two, Zhang Zehui, the prefect of Zhenjiang, will soon come to Yingtianfu!"
"Okay, here's our chance!" Zhu Song's eyes lit up and he said.
Mu Su and Ji Gang's eyes lit up at the same time, and they asked in unison, "Your Highness, do you have a way to break Zhenjiang Mansion?"
"Hehe......"
Zhu Song laughed and said, "This king heard that this Zhang Zehui and Zhu Shaoqian have always had a gap because of political affairs, what if Zhang Zehui dies in the hands of Zhu Shaoqian?"
"This ......" Ji Gang and Mu Su still didn't understand.
"Hahaha, you'll know then!" Zhu Song laughed.
……
The information from Zhenjiang came quickly, and when it was almost time, there were Jinyi guards who came from Zhenjiang to carry the specific casualties of the Jingnan army crossing the river, and at the same time, there was also a piece of information that Zhu Song was particularly looking forward to: Zhang Zehui was coming to Yingtianfu.
Time passed to the beginning of the Shen hour, and suddenly the clouds were overcast in the sky, and it seemed that a heavy rain was brewing.
On the official road leading to Zhenjiang, a group of about 30 soldiers escorted a cyan carriage and headed in the direction of Yingtianfu.
These soldiers were all soldiers of the garrison Zhenjiang Mansion, and after experiencing the conquest of the Yan King's army forcibly crossing the river, the entire south bank of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty became tense.
In order to avoid accidents for the prefect of Zhenjiang Mansion, the deputy general of the guard general Zhu Shaoqian personally arranged for thirty soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles to escort the prefect to Yingtianfu to meet the emperor.
Outside the carriage, a young man with a big face and three thick looks was talking to a rather elegant middle-aged man with a relaxed face.
"Prefect, you're too careful, aren't you?" There was a hint of contempt in the young man's eyes, "As long as you pass Zhenjiang Mansion, it will be the world of our Ming Dynasty, and Zhenjiang is now like an iron bucket, and the Yan Party can't cross the river at all, so why should the prefect be like this?"
Lord Prefect, the middle-aged man who feels this is Zhang Zehui, he didn't sit in the carriage, but chose to ride a horse.
"Hehe, Qingshan, it's always right to be cautious!" The elegant middle-aged man chuckled, but there was a hint of helplessness hidden in the depths of his eyes.
"No wonder the general always says that this Zhang Zehui is a coward, it's really like this!"
The young man named Qingshan slandered in his heart for a long time, but his mouth did not leak a single thing, "The prefect is reasonable, but the general thinks that with our thirty brothers who have been through a hundred battles, even if there are hundreds of people, our brothers will definitely be able to guarantee your safety!" ”
"Haha, yes, it will be two or three minutes before you arrive at Yingtianfu, even if someone has bad intentions, they will already do it!"
At present, there are only twenty-five or six miles left from Nanjing City, and it is expected that there will be no more extraneous branches, Qingshan couldn't help but laugh exaggeratedly.
"Oh no, help, there's a strongman robbing the road......"
Just when Qingshan and Zhang Zehui were talking and laughing, there was a sudden commotion at the front of the team.
The soldiers of Zhenjiang Mansion who sent Zhang Zehui to each other were busy rushing from the rear to the front, looking at their state of affairs, and the movements between their actions were modest, and they even formed a battle formation of their own, worthy of being soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles.
I saw a cavalry galloping in front of the team, and the cavalry looked like about fifty horses, all of them were tall horses, and the people on the horses were each dressed in black tights, with dark green stripes painted on their faces, and they hung quivers on their backs, and they carried strong bows in their hands, and long knives at their waists.
And with the galloping horses, the black-clothed people on the horses were so decisive that they bent their bows and arrows, and those arrows that flashed with black light rang out with the sound of 'whooshing'.
Black light, all these arrows were quenched with poison, and looking at the black light that began to glow, it was basically a bloody throat!
Although these 30-meter soldiers have experienced a hundred battles and have a clear battle formation, they have nowhere to hide in the face of arrows that burst like a rain of arrows.
However, in line with this mission, seven or eight soldiers rushed to Qingshan and Zhang Zehui's side, and built a meat shield with their bodies and horses.
The arrows didn't matter who you were, and they rushed into the crowd on the opposite side, and the cyan carriage was the focus of attention.
"Ahh
"Poof!"
"Boom!"
The Zhenjiang garrison soldiers and the horses under them fell to the ground, bleeding to death.
The poison quenched on the arrow cluster is even more poisonous than the red of the crane's crown, and it is really a bloody throat!
A round of arrows was fired, and there were only seven living Zhenjiang garrison soldiers left, plus Zhang Zehui, who was well protected, a total of eight people.
"Da Da Da!"
The sound of majestic horses continued to sound, and after fifty black-clothed men galloped around the rest of the men like separate waves, the black-clothed men reined in their horses one after another, forming an encirclement, and firmly surrounded the eight people in the middle.
"Your Highness, there is no one in the car!"
A radiant black horse, carrying a lean man in black who was eight feet tall, greeted him.
"Hehe, this king didn't guess!"
The lean man in black raised his head, and his cheeks, which were painted with green or dark green, could vaguely see Zhu Song's appearance.
"Zhang Zehui is really stupid, and these soldiers are all stupid!" Zhu Song grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "As soon as the arrow comes out, these stupid. Eggs come over to protect them, silly. The egg doesn't know the importance of this man! ”
"Your Highness said yes!" Mu Su, who also showed his face vaguely, also nodded and smiled, "It's really in vain that the last general pulled all the spies from Jiaxing Mansion over!" ”
