Chapter 386: Soldiers Coming to the City 2

The Taiyuan army is garrisoned five miles away from the capital, and among the commanders of the army, Shen Dangui is still the commander. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but he, the coach, is only external.

Like this, in the big tent, he, the coach, failed to sit in the first place, but was squeezed out of the bottom by several foreign generals.

When he returned to Baoding City two days ago, the army was attacked by a sneak attack, and the Qing army led by him fled despite the heavily damaged foreign army.

Afterwards, all the blame was deducted on his head, and he was directly tied back by the foreign army. Fortunately, the current foreigners still need him, otherwise he will never sit here calmly.

After Shen Dangui experienced what happened last time, he also learned a lot. Like this, several generals in the army were discussing how to attack the capital, but Shen Dangui would not interject for half a sentence, let alone ask for trouble to make any suggestions.

At the top of the tent was a bearded, middle-aged white man, who was secretly ruling the army. With him, there are five capable officers, all of whom are supported by him, and they are absolutely forbidden to him, and they are loyal!

Jesley was the supreme general of Taiyuan City, and under his rule, Taiyuan City's power continued to expand. Jesley, who was no longer satisfied with the shock, began to support Shen Dangui, who was quite obedient.

With Shen Dangui as the ruler on the surface, he hides in the shadows and manipulates, and Jesley finds that this is much better than the catastrophe.

Since the last time he was stationed in the capital, he attacked Yejiabao with the Japanese Kou, but directly lost 4,000 foreign troops. This was the heaviest loss for foreigners since they set foot in the Qing Dynasty.

It was also a major failure in Jesley's political career, which became a stain on his military career. In the army, he has been laughed at by other generals many times, and he has always been angry about this, and he swore that he must destroy Ye Jiabao and Ye Shaolong.

But in less than a year, Yejiabao has grown like a rocket. This makes Jesley feel that revenge is far away.

Therefore, after stabilizing Taiyuan City, he began to plot the surrounding forces. is going to use this to enclose Ye Shaolong in a small circle and be restrained by his own forces.

But just got a Baoding City, and lost it in the blink of an eye, and paid a lot of things for it. It can be said that he lost his wife and broke his soldiers.

But what surprised Jesley even more was that after receiving Ye Shaolong's recovery of Baoding City, he actually began to garrison the capital again.

Ye Shaolong's approach made Jesley unable to sit still. Obviously, Ye Shaolong is using the same method as him to expand his power. In this way, Jesley will inevitably be threatened.

Once he doesn't stop it, if he continues like this, Taiyuan City, which has been managed with great difficulty, will inevitably be besieged.

The first strike is stronger, and the slow attack suffers, Jesley, who has already felt a great threat, immediately discussed with the Zhangjiakou army, and wanted to take advantage of the unstable Yejiabao army to kill the Yejiabao army first, and at the worst of all, let its vitality be greatly damaged.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and when the army arrives in the capital, Jesley realizes that things are not as simple as he imagined.

The strength of the Yejiapu army far exceeded estimates, and the army failed to intercept the Yejiabao army before it entered the capital. Now the Yejiabao army relies on the city to defend, which is even more of a headache.

A few people had gathered here just now and had been discussing for a while, but they had not been able to come up with the safest way to attack the city. And at this moment, Jesley finally noticed Shen Dangui, who had never spoken.

"Dangui, don't you have anything to say?" Jesley immediately lowered his face and said in a dark voice.

Shen Dangui smiled bitterly in his heart, he was really afraid of something. tried his best to avoid Jasley from noticing him, but he didn't end up being able to do so.

With the lesson of the last time, he didn't want to talk more when he was killed, but he couldn't avoid it if he was named: "Lord Governor, the walls of this capital are eight battles high, easy to defend and difficult to attack!" The Yejiabao army is good at defense, and now our subordinates can't think of any other way than to attack. ”

Jesley's face softened, and there was nothing wrong with what Shen Dangui said. The capital in front of him is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, otherwise he wouldn't need to worry about it.

"Why hasn't there been any news from the Zhangjiakou Army?" At present, we can only wait for the arrival of the Zhangjiakou army to attack the city together.

But his Taiyuan army has been stationed here for nearly an hour, and logically speaking, the Zhangjiakou army that set off at the same time should have also arrived.

After waiting for a long time and no news, Jesley, who was already angry, became even more irritable.

"My subordinates are going to investigate." Shen Dangui didn't dare to stay in the tent for a long time, so he took the opportunity to ask for an order to investigate.

Jesley nodded and agreed to Shen Dangui's request, waving his hand to let him go and return quickly.

The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for Jesley, which is why he was in such a hurry.

Shen Dangui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and retreated, but before he could get out of the account, he saw a cavalry galloping over. Before the voice arrived, it was the first to arrive: "Report!" ”

"General Qiyu, the Zhangjiakou army has already fought with the Yejiabao cavalry in the direction of Dongcheng."

"What?" Shen Dangui suddenly exclaimed.

Before he could ask the scout what was going on, Jesley in the tent spoke before him, "Come in and make it clear." ”

The scout didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and after getting up, he rushed into the tent with a roll. Without any more words from Jesley, the probe said to himself: "Governor, before the Zhangjiakou army arrived at the garrison, it was attacked by the cavalry that suddenly appeared. Now the two sides are fighting together, and the Zhangjiakou army was scattered by the cavalry because it had no time to take precautions, and it was impossible to hold on. ”

"Probe!"

Jesley waved his hand to drive away the scouts, and then shouted at Shen Dangui: "Immediately lead the 4,000 musket battalion to the rescue, be sure to repel the cavalry, otherwise you won't have to come back." ”

Shen Dangui's face changed continuously, and he felt very uncomfortable, the infantry could not be compared with the cavalry at all. Four thousand infantry were going to turn the tide on his own, and if he had the ability, he would need to look at Jesley's face here.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Shen Dangui knew that if he dared to have any dissatisfaction, he would definitely be killed as soon as possible. For the sake of his own life, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and even if he was ordered to do something.

The Zhangjiakou army was suddenly attacked by the Yejiabao army, which had completely disrupted Jesley's original plan. Now he didn't dare to order the siege of the city, so he had to wait for the situation of the Zhangjiakou army before finding a way.

In the attic on the west city gate, Ye Shaolong and Su Can also received the news at the first time. The tower has already fought with the Zhangjiakou army, and the situation is very good. This made Ye Shaolong very relieved, and the iron tower really didn't disappoint him!
