Chapter 342: Clumsy and Coincidental

When the northwest front and the north front of the Jiangnan Battlefield were in a stalemate for various reasons after several fierce battles, the local battlefield on the southern front of the Jiangnan Battlefield ushered in the most chaotic and complicated melee situation in history. [Full text reading]

The first to provoke the conflict was, of course, the Qing army in Zhejiang - to be precise, the Qing army in Shaoxing and Ningbo, given that Geng Jingzhong's army and the fat army did not rise up as the Qing army imagined after bordering each other, even after the public turn of face, Geng Jingzhong and Lu Fatzi worked together to maintain restraint, and there was no direct sword and soldier encounter. As a last resort, Tian Fengji, the former governor of Zhejiang, who was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang by the line of fire, had to personally lead an army of 35,000 to the west to attack the city of Hangzhou defended by Liu Guoxuan, the general of Taiwan's right military guard, and took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the southern front to see what would happen.

As soon as Tian Fengji's side moved, Geng Jingzhong, who had already learned the news in advance, also reacted immediately, ordering Zeng Yang's surname stationed in Tonglu, Yanzhou, to send 25,000 troops -- of course, most of them were newly recruited rabble, under the pretext that Zheng Jing's subordinate Feng Xifan attacked Tingzhou first, and went north to attack Xincheng and Fuyang counties in the south of Hangzhou, while Geng Jingzhong himself continued to sit in Yiwu to watch the changes, ready to beat the water dogs at any time, and when that side was defeated in Hangzhou, he would beat the losers, grab money, grain, and land.

Limited to the mission of containing the Suzhou Legion of the Fat Army, Tian Fengji knew that Geng Jingzhong was not well-intentioned and had to strike first, when the vanguard of the Qing army Liao Rongbing came to Xiaoshan City, the gateway to Hangzhou, Tian Fengji did not hesitate to issue an order to attack the city. I never thought that Zheng Jingjun's Xiaoshan guard He You bullied the Qing army's forward soldiers with few soldiers, and with a new firearm in his hand, he personally led 2,000 troops out of the city to meet the battle, and the Qing army's forward battle in the eastern suburbs of Xiaoshan.

In the field battle, Liao Rong's fierce generals annihilated Bao Hu bravely, led two hundred horsemen to bypass the front of the rocket array of Zheng Jing's army, attacked the right flank of Zheng Jing's army, and broke the right wing of Zheng Jing's army in less than half an hour. Helplessly, Bao Hu became more and more brave in the war, and rushed to Xiaoshan City in the chaos, killed Jiang Ji, the general of the Zheng army who He You stayed in the county seat, and captured the Xiaoshan City Gate that was opened to meet He You's defeated army, forcing He You to abandon the city and flee, and led the defeated army to flee to Hangzhou.

After the battle, the reputation of the hardcore Han Annihilation of Bao Hu was greatly enhanced, Zheng Jing's army was bold, and he was afraid of three points before hearing the name of Bao Hu, and the Qing army in Zhejiang, which was abused by the fat army and could not find the north, was greatly boosted, and said that this time he finally caught a rookie who was more fleshy than himself and could be abused, and Tian Fengji, the governor of Zhejiang, was also overjoyed, and the line of fire was promoted to Bao Hu as the general soldier of Yanzhou, and entrusted with the important task of commanding the cavalry. After hearing the news, Geng Jun was also relieved, and captured the new city and county town where Zheng Jun's soldiers were outnumbered, and the troops were under Fuyang City, and the Zheng Army in Hangzhou was in an emergency, so he had to send envoys to the neighboring Huzhou Fat Army Guo Yingfu Department for help.

It's a pity that the envoy sent by Liu Guoxuan to Huzhou not only did not ask for reinforcements, but also found a stinking scold for Liu Guoxuan, Guo Yingfu, who was born in the old man of the Wu army, wrote a book by himself, scolding the stupid tactics of Zheng Jing's army taking the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, pointing out that even if the fat army of the Wu army went out of the city to fight, it would inevitably be arranged on both wings to cover the elite heavy troops, or it was to use the terrain to cover the two wings. Will the cavalry of the Qing army, who have already suffered enough of the big loss of the three good rockets, be stupid enough to attack the front of the rocket array again?

After scolding and pointing out how to fight field artillery and how to correctly use the three good rockets in Taiwan, Guo Yingfu told Liu Guoxuan that the Fat Army's current fighting on the northern and western fronts is very fierce, and the army on the southern front really does not dare to act rashly, and cannot send reinforcements to Liu Guoxuan for the time being, but only suggests that Liu Guoxuan defend Hangzhou and use the fortified city of Hangzhou to offset the power of the Qing army's cavalry, and wait until the Qing army's food and grass are exhausted or the fat army's army defeats other enemies, Tian Fengji's team will naturally retreat. At the same time, Guo Yingfu emphasized another sentence, that is, the Fat Army will never sit idly by and watch the Qing Army capture Hangzhou, and at the critical moment, the Fat Army will naturally lend a helping hand to Liu Guoxuan.

When he couldn't ask for help, he was scolded instead, and the depression in Liu Guoxuan's heart can be imagined, but considering that the benevolence and righteousness of the Fat Army and Guo Yingfu's guidance are also very reasonable, Liu Guoxuan finally didn't turn his face with the Fat Army, and he didn't have the face to turn this face. However, Liu Guoxuan said that he would not dare to adopt Guo Yingfu's suggestion of defending the fortified city of Hangzhou -- it was not that Liu Guoxuan thought that Guo Yingfu was talking nonsense, but on the contrary, Liu Guoxuan also thought that Guo Yingfu was extremely correct, and that with this pitifully weak cavalry force in the hands of the Taiwan army, it would be difficult to resist the flank assault and roundabout outflanking of the Mites cavalry in a field battle, even if they had three good rockets in their hands, and the odds of victory were really not great.

Although Hangzhou Zheng Jun is now worry-free about food and clothing, the Taiwan base camp that has been economically blocked by the Mites for many years is very poor, and none of the grain, grass, ordnance, clothing, quilts, and military salaries can be self-sufficient. In this case, Liu Guoxuan naturally said that he did not dare to passively defend anything, so he could only lead the army to fight hard, in order to repel the Qing army and keep the farmland of Hangzhou, which was growing luxuriantly.

Fortunately, Tian Fengji's army will inevitably cross the Qiantang River when attacking Hangzhou in the west, and Liu Guoxuan still has the Qiantang River to defend in the field battle, which can limit the charge and outflanking of the Qing cavalry, so when the Qing army arrived at the Qiantang River, Liu Guoxuan decisively gathered the ferry and destroyed the bridge, leading the troops to guard the riverbank.

Liu Guoxuan hoped that he would be able to keep the entire territory of Hangzhou with the Qiantang River, and his calculations were too wishful, and before he began to attack the defense line of the Qiantang River of the Zheng army, Tian Fengji, the governor of Zhejiang, who was quite brainy, had already considered that Liu Guoxuan was likely to defend the river, so Tian Fengji also sent a messenger to Geng Jingzhong early, asking Geng Jingzhong to send troops to meet the self-army to cross the river, so that the self-army could attack Hangzhou and fulfill its promise and give Lin'an and Changhua counties to Geng Jingzhong. At the same time, Tian Fengji sent someone to contact the Qing Army's Lai Ta Department stationed in Jiaxing, and asked the Ta to send troops south to respond.

After receiving Tian Fengji's letter of request for help, the tower, who was fearless of the Taiwan army, naturally did not say a word, and immediately sent 2,000 cavalry south to meet Tian Fengji, and Geng Jingzhong, who was eager for Tian Fengji and Liu Guoxuan's dog-eat-dog, did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Zeng Yang's surname to attack Fuyang with all his might, and then sent troops to meet the Qing army to cross the river to attack Hangzhou. Here, Liu Guoxuan found that something was wrong, and sensed that Geng Jingzhong and the Qing army were likely to have joined forces, so he had to quickly send another messenger to ask Guo Yingfu and Li Tianzhi for help, explain the truth to the fat army, and ask the fat army to send troops to respond immediately.

Of course, Li Tianzhi and Guo Yingfu and other generals of the Fat People's Army understand the truth of their lips and cold teeth, but the Fat Army's unscrupulous generals know a truth better, that is, if the teeth are sharp, they will bite their lips. Therefore, Li Tianzhi and Guo Yingfu both agreed to make a move at the critical moment, while continuing to stand still, and sat back and watched Liu Guoxuan's lone army being caught by the Qing army and Geng army.

In this way, Liu Guoxuan has become a motherless child in the bitter gourd field, and he has completely suffered home, and the army of Tian Fengji in the west is looking at him and may launch a rush at any time; In the south, Geng Jingzhong rushed and struck, holding the new firearms he bought from Wu Lao Han and the new firearms that Liu Guoxuan had begged from Lu Fatzi, and confronted him, consuming a lot of Liu Guoxuan's vital strength; In the north, the tower sent two thousand cavalry led by Hu Tu, the general of the Qing army, to the south at night, and could stab Liu Guoxuan in the back at any time, Liu Guoxuan couldn't parry even if he had three heads and six arms. When the cavalry of the Qing army arrived at the city of Hangzhou, and at the same time Zeng Yang's surname also broke through the county seat of Fuyang, Liu Guoxuan finally couldn't resist it, and had no choice but to retreat to Hangzhou Jiancheng, and Tian Fengji's army took the opportunity to cross the river and surround the city of Hangzhou.

Drove Liu Guoxuan back to Hangzhou City, Tian Fengji immediately sent a messenger to contact Zeng Yang's surname, asking to join forces with Zeng Yang's surname to attack Hangzhou, after breaking the city, he not only ceded Lin'an and Changhua counties, but also took half of the military salaries and grass in Hangzhou City and the gold and silver beauties to thank Geng Jun. After a lapse of several years, the Qing army and Geng Jingzhong's army finally stood in the same trench again, and joined forces to launch a strong attack on the fortified city of Hangzhou.

Don't look at the field meat feet of the Taiwan army, but when there is no way to retreat, the Taiwan army still broke out with an unimaginably strong will, relying on a strong city and sufficient materials, and the Qing Geng coalition army launched one after another desperate battle, the Qing Geng coalition army was repulsed several times to attack the city, and the losses together were heavy, and the gains outweighed the losses. As a last resort, Tian Fengji and Zeng Yang's surname had to ask for help from the rear again, and Geng Jingzhong, Fu Lata and Lai Ta and others saw that the fat army was dead and alive and refused to rescue Hangzhou, and also said that the fat army was now helpless and unable to rescue Liu Guoxuan, so they had the courage to send troops together and jointly dispatched an army to Hangzhou, preparing to join forces to break through this heavenly city and divide the golden silk beauties in the city equally.

"It's time, it's time to give Liu Guoxuan a breather." After repeatedly confirming that the main forces of the Qing army and the Geng army were marching to Hangzhou, Li Tianzhi and Guo Yingfu, the two bad species of the fat army, were relieved and ordered to send troops together, Guo Yingfu personally led 3,000 elites to enter Wukang and threatened the Qing Geng coalition army behind, Li Tianzhi simply dispatched tens of thousands of troops, and went south through the canal to attack Jiaxing, forcing the tower to retreat to Jiaxing to defend the city. And after the news that the Fat Army finally sent troops to Hangzhou, Geng Jingzhong, who had already begun to prepare for the largest siege operation, and Tian Fengji both scolded:

"Fuck Lu Yifeng dog thief! Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight can sit to this point, which can be regarded as the peak! ”

"! Lao Tzu finally understood why Lu Yifeng gave me Hangzhou in the first place. What was even more depressed was Liu Guoxuan, who scolded: "I beat people and I will die hard, and I will be a shield for this shameless Lu Fat Man, and in the end, I will kneel down to thank him for his rescue!" This fat man Lu is really a businessman! ”

………………………… The situation of the Fat Army's north, south and northwest battlefields, friends have a general understanding, and finally let's take a look at the most important battlefield due west, as for why the battlefield due west is the most important? Although everyone knows the situation, but here I still have to repeat it, Kang Mazi threatened Yue Le and said that if he could not get a satisfactory result before March 23, then Kang Mazi would have to drive the expedition in person, Yue Le was forced to decide to attack on three sides and feint on three sides to cover the surprise soldiers on the Western Front, and prepare to attack the Taiping Mansion City. And after Lu Fatzi judged the main direction of the Qing army through clues, he decided to set a trap in Taiping Mansion and wait for the Qing army's strange soldiers to take the bait, smash Yue Le's wishful thinking, and force the military straw bag Kang Mazi to drive the expedition in person! Therefore, the gains and losses of the battlefield on the Western Front are not only related to the success or failure of the Qing army on the battlefield in Jiangnan, but also related to whether Kang Mazi personally conquered Jiangnan, that is, whether Kang Mazi came to Jiangnan to die by himself!

Time back to March 17, when Yue Le was blocked by the Gaoyou City under Lu Fatzi was also dragged down by the cheating weather, the west gate of Taiping Mansion Wuhu area, only drizzle fell in the sky, which did not affect the decisive battle between the Qing army and the fat army on the western front. After discovering that Han Daren, who was very happy, really led his troops out of the city to meet the battle, and Li Jiyang also led the rapidly growing fat army sailor division out of the port to meet the battle, the mite Qing Shuncheng Belle Jin, who was responsible for commanding the war on the Western Front, immediately made a decision, and while ordering the Qing army's naval division Ghent Baturu to retreat upstream to attract Li Jiyang to pursue, he ordered the Qing army's infantry cavalry to seize the Baima Mountain highland where the last battle with Han Daren was held, and prepare for a decisive battle with Han Daren near Baima Mountain again.

Here I have to praise Le Erjin, as one of the main generals in history to pacify the rebellion of the three feudatories, Le Erjin is indeed very good at leading the troops to fight, and Han Daren chose to fight in Wuhu White Horse Mountain, the key reason is that there is a ridge in White Horse Mountain, so that Le Erjin can arrange the main army behind the ridge to avoid the most terrible three-good rocket direct bombardment in the field of the fat armyThe second is to force the Fat Army to feint, which is undoubtedly an excellent tactic to weaken the power of the Fat Army's firearms for the Qing Army, whose firearms are far inferior to the Fat Army.

The cavalry was dispatched, Leer Jin just breathed a sigh of relief, and was commanding the army to rush to Baima Mountain at full speed to set up camp, but there was a sudden explosion sound in front, Leer Jin was shocked and hurriedly raised his binoculars, but saw the military flag fluttering on White Horse Mountain, a fat army team had seized this important high ground in advance, and was violently bombarding the Qing cavalry with three good rockets. Seeing this scene, Le Erjin couldn't help but cry out loud, knowing that Han Daren must have learned the lesson of failing to inflict heavy losses on the self-army last time, and this time he seized the White Horse Mountain Heights in advance at any cost.

"Lord Belle, what should Wu Gou do if he seizes White Horse Mountain in advance?" Le Erjin's right-hand man, Garhan, also shouted bitterly, and hurriedly suggested: "Lord Belle, why don't we go up to Phoenix Mountain and face Wu Gou there." ”

"Phoenix Mountain is too high and steep, and there is no water source, it is easy for our army to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, Wugou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, as long as it does not rain, within three days, our army will inevitably be defeated." Leerjin replied with a wry smile.

"What then? In addition to White Horse Mountain, it is surrounded by open land, and our firearms have no combat advantage, so we can't beat Wu Gou? Garhan asked worriedly.

"There's no way, let's storm White Horse Mountain." Leerjin gritted his teeth and replied: "Don't set up camp for the army, be ready to retreat at any time." ”

"Storm White Horse Mountain, then our army will suffer ...... casualties." Garhan said cautiously.

"In order not to let the master risk his own expedition, no matter how much danger he has, he has to take it." Leerjin waved his hand helplessly and ordered: "Let the cavalry retreat, change the infantry to storm the White Horse Mountain." ”

The order was conveyed that the precious cavalry that had been blown up by the Fat Army's rockets retreated, withdrew from the range of the Sanhao rocket, and stepped forward with the infantry led by the Guangzhou general Shu Shu and launched an attack on the White Horse Mountain, while the Fat Army infantry on the mountain used grenades and muskets to resist the enemy, and condescendingly beat the Qing infantry, Shu Shu paid heavy casualties but was never able to rush up the ridge, and was pressed on the mountainside by the Fat Army's rapid firing pin gun. It was so stalemate for most of the hour, and a burst of cheers suddenly broke out in the ranks of the fat army on the top of the mountain, and then, a group of fat army cavalry took the lead in rushing up the ridge, and then the infantry of the fat army also went up the mountain, condescending to look down at the Qing army under the mountain, and the Shu Shu team on the mountainside was shocked.

"Wu Gou will also learn lessons and accumulate experience." Seeing this scene, Le Erjin did not blame Shu Shu for his ineffective command of the army - after all, it was a game that was bound to lose, and the quality of the soldiers, weapons, geographical advantages, and troops were not as good as the fat army, and if he rushed up, he would be sent to death in vain. So Le Erjin just smiled bitterly a few times, and quickly ordered: "The whole army turned around and retreated towards Fanchang, you and Shu Shu led the infantry to retreat first, and I personally led the cavalry behind." ”

"Lord Belle, it's too dangerous for you to be the queen in person, so let's let the minion queen be the queen." Garhan hurriedly volunteered.

"No, only if I personally empress the queen, Han Daren will pursue the dog thief with all his might." Le Erjin shook his head, slapped his horse and immediately went to restrain the cavalry, and said on the war horse without looking back: "Garhan, if I can't come back, remember to send my suicide note to the capital and hand it over to my Fujin and my children." ”

"Lord Belle, please rest assured, the minions will definitely do it." With tears in his eyes, Garhan slapped a thousand to Le Erjin's back and saluted solemnly.

Sure enough, when he saw the banner of Leerjin appear in the ranks behind the Qing army's palace, Han Daren, who was so happy, really led the whole army to pursue, biting Leerjin's rear team all the way, and swore that this time he would say nothing to let Leerjin slip away again, and on the surface of the Yangtze River, it had expanded to more than two hundred warships, and the Fat Army Taiping Mansion Sailor Division also began to pursue the Qing Army's sailors. Le Erjin was secretly happy after hearing the news, and said secretly: "Zhangtai Xiaoer, Lao Tzu is risking his life to create a sneak attack opportunity for you, you must not let Lao Tzu down." ”

"Leerjin Xiao'er, do you think that your superficial plan to divert the tiger from the mountain can hide from the eyes of my Uncle Han Ren?" Chasing the banner of Le Erjin, Han Daren was also secretly sneering, "Your strange soldiers are ambushed in the Ma Jiayuan of Ningguo Mansion, thinking that I really don't know, uncle?" Go, in the city of Taipingfu, a grand feast has already been prepared, waiting to entertain your ambush soldiers full of dogs! ”

After smiling evilly, Han Daren grabbed a pro-soldier on the horse, and whispered in his ear: "You immediately go back to the Taiping Mansion to report the news, tell Li Mao that Mangou has taken the bait, and let him act according to the plan, if you let Mangou run away and let Gao Hongchen see the joke, military law will be engaged!" The soldiers agreed, quickly turned the horse's head, and hurried back to the Taiping Mansion to report to Li Mao, Han Daren's confidant who stayed there.

Not to mention that Han Daren went all out to pursue Leerjin, who had defeated and lured the enemy, but when Han Daren's personal soldiers rushed all the way back to Taiping Mansion City to report to Li Mao, it was already after the end of March 17, and the sky was already dark. In the past, it was said that there were heavy troops stationed in Nanjing, the gateway of Nanjing, the city wall of Taipingfu, which would be sparsely lit, the flags were scarce, and there were absolutely no guards from the outside, only when they entered the city, they could find that the Taiping City with a lax surface was actually full of murderous machines, and the door hole inside the urn city was already hung with a thousand catties of iron gates, and the hidden soldiers were also full of heavily armed fat army elite soldiers, and the city walls around the urn city were also full of all kinds of city defense materials, and there were also hidden door jam knife cars next to the road in the city. Basically, no matter what kind of enemy dares to enter the urn city, don't think that one of them can go back alive............ "General Han is really wordy, I am so well prepared, as long as the full dog dares to come and sneak attack, don't think that one of them can run away!" After listening to Han Daren's order recounted by his own soldiers, Li Mao waved his hand impatiently and said with a sneer: "Also, I've been with General Han for so many years, don't you know what the relationship between General Han and the Gao brothers is?" This piece of fat sent to the door, Gao Hongchen doesn't even want to get it at all. ”

.................. "Send more scouts to Lao Tzu to closely monitor the every move of the ambush army of the full dog!" At the same time, in Ma'anshan, a mine used for mining iron ore, Gao Hongchen, who was ambushing and sheltering from the rain, was also slapping the table and yelling, "Let the brothers be ready to attack at any time, once they find that the ambush soldiers are full of dogs and sneak attack on Taipingfu City, kill them immediately, and don't even leave a little meat star to Han Daren'er!" Damn, dare to compete with my eldest brother for the position of the chief general of Jiangnan, dreaming! ”

…………………… At the same time, in the small village of Majiayuan in Ningguo Mansion, the scouts and horses almost continuously sent the situation of Taiping Mansion and Han Daren and Leerjin Zhujun to this place, and sent it to the prince of Zhangtai Baojun who led 5,000 elite cavalry to ambush here. When they learned the news that Leerjin had successfully lured the enemy and that the defenders of Taiping Mansion were scarce, the generals of the Qing army kept urging and even begging Zhangtai to send troops, but our prince of Zhangtai County did not move at all, but kept looking at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand.

"Lord Wang, the fighter plane has arrived, it's time to send troops." Last time, Du Tongzhu, who helped the prince of Zhangtai County defeat the prime minister of Xia in Chizhou, was more courageous, and held down the hand of the prince of Zhangtai County who was flipping the book, and pleaded: "Prince, the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, we finally took a detour back here to ambush, the friendly army has made countless efforts and sacrifices in order to cooperate with our surprise attack on Taiping City, if we miss this fighter, we can't explain to the friendly brothers." ”

"What's the hurry? You can't fight a war, you have to use your head, you have to use your head, do you understand? The prince of Zhangtai County scolded the generals decently, pushed away Zhu Man's hand, and turned back to the ninety-ninth chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to take a closer look at it from the beginning.

"Lord Wang, I know that we need to use our heads to fight, but if we don't send troops, it may be too late." Zhu Man pleaded again: "Lord Wang, please, give the order to send troops, the brothers believe that you will definitely lead us to defeat Wu Gou again, as long as you give an order, all of our five thousand soldiers will fight to the death for you!" ”

"It's okay to send troops, but this prince doesn't plan to fight Taiping City." The prince of Zhangtai County replied.

"Don't go to Taiping City as planned? So go fight there? Zhu Man and the others asked in surprise.

"Hit Nanjing! Go directly to copy Lu Yifeng's dog thief's lair! "The prince of Zhangtai County spoke amazingly.

"Lord Wang, are you crazy?" The Qing generals present all screamed, "Nanjing is the first important town in the south of the Yangtze River in Wugou, the city is extremely strong, and the defenders have the most troops. ”

"Nonsense!" The prince of Zhangtai County held up "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", pointed to one of the pages and said, "Have you seen it?" Zhuge Liang arranged an ambush and surrounded Zhang Jaw, Sima Yi saw through Zhuge Liang's strategy, so he also arranged an ambush and surrounded Zhuge Liang's ambush corps, knowing that Zhuge Liang was a good player, he arranged Jiang Wei to sneak attack Sima Yi's lair, forcing Sima Yi to retreat to save the lair, Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to chase and kill, and won a big victory. Our current situation is very similar to Zhuge Liang, it is an army biting an army, Wu Gou's nest Nanjing City is empty, if we go to attack Nanjing City, all Wu Dog will inevitably retreat, and our army will take the opportunity to chase and kill, and we will definitely be able to achieve a big victory! ”

The mite Qing generals were dumbfounded, saying that they didn't expect that there would really be someone in this world who would command the war with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! After Zhu Man was dumbfounded, he hurriedly screamed again: "Lord Wang, this matter is no joke, Nanjing is Wu Gou's lair, even if we can make Wu Gou withdraw from various battlefields by our surprise attack on Nanjing, but we will also be dumplings by Wu Gou!" ”

"But what if we take Nanjing?" The prince of Zhangtai County sparked a confident look in his eyes, and said triumphantly: "Don't forget, we have brought two thousand catties of Sanhao explosives this time, and it is easy to blow up the gate of Nanjing, and we can definitely kill Wu Gou by surprise!" When we conquer Nanjing and then rely on the city to defend it, Wu Gou will have nothing to do with us. ”

"Lord Wang-!" Juman screamed again.

"The king's will has been decided, and if there are any opponents, military law will be conducted!" The prince of Zhangtai County slapped the table and shouted solemnly: "The king of this order is that the whole army immediately set off, passing east of Xuedian Town (about twenty miles south of Ma'anshan), bypassing Taiping City under the cover of rainy nights, and going straight to Wugou's lair - Nanjing!" ”

(To be continued)
