"Your Highness, since it is not only to prevent Yiliang from escaping south, but also to take advantage of the situation to go south to take Hangzhou first, then Chen Yucheng's troops should not be placed in the west of Suzhou, and should go south by boat to the south of Taihu, and make surprise troops to intercept Yiliang who may come out halfway, or try to reinforce the Qing army in Suzhou." Huang Zaixing thought about it seriously, looked at King An and said.

"Lin Fengxiang is an experienced person and is good at sports warfare, I don't think he will put Chen Yucheng there and wait for Yiliang to leave the city." Lin Hai smiled confidently.

"Yes, although the Northern Expedition was terminated halfway, Lin Hou crisscrossed northern Anhui, skillfully crossed the Yellow River, and turned the Qing army around, which shows Lin Hou's strategy." Huang Zaixing nodded approvingly, thought about it, and asked again, "Your Highness, if we attack Hangzhou first, if there is a stalemate for a while, it is very likely that our Heavenly Army will fight on two fronts in Hangzhou and Shanghai." Once the foreigners in Shanghai intervened, the strength of Zeng Shuiyuan's ministry alone was still much thinner. ”

"You've got a point." Lin Haifeng glanced in the direction of Shanghai, "At present, the Qing court's decree on Jiangnan is already very unsmooth, and the Qing army in various places has reached a critical moment of fighting their own battles. There will be no closer cooperation and synergy between them. Suzhou, it is inevitable to defend, since this is the case, it is better to attack on the momentum, and offense is the best defense. Although Hangzhou is strong, but there is no decent foreign aid, as long as Hangzhou, Zhejiang has also become leaderless, then Jiangsu and Zhejiang belong to the Celestial Empire. Therefore, I considered that Lin Fengxiang would command the Red First Army and the Qin Army to besiege Hangzhou. The Teaching Brigade captured Qingpu immediately after the end of the battle, cooperated with Zeng Shuiyuan's department, and joined forces with Liu Lichuan's Shanghai defenders to break the southern camp of the Qing army in the Longhua area. In this way, the remnants of the northern camp of the Qing army were isolated in a corner of Shanghai. ”

"It's a pity that our warships don't have the strength of foreigners, otherwise ......" Huang Zaixing seemed to have some regret.

"Yes, in order for the Celestial Empire to stand tall in the forest of the world, we must not only have a strong army, but also build a strong navy." Lin Haifeng looked at Huang Zaixing heroically, and raised his hand high, "The entire land of China belongs to us, and wherever we want to go, no force can stop our pace!" ”

"Let's go?" In a small mansion near Xumen, some unguarded Hao Lisu looked at Yiliang as if he didn't know him, "Where are you going?" ”

"If you continue to fight like this, you can only sit and wait." Yiliang's face was a little feverish, and he didn't care about the change in the expression on the other party's face at all, "In order to preserve some of the strength that is fighting with Long Hair, you must first withdraw from Suzhou and go to ...... Go to Hangzhou, meet the people there, and then try a good plan. ”

"My lord, it's easy to say, what about the millions of taels of silver in the domain?" Hao Lisu swallowed hard and spat hard, and asked with concern.

"On the way here, the official has already sent someone to inform He Guiqing and asked him to find a way to rush how much is there." Yi Liang wiped the sweat that was still bubbling on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and his eyes suddenly burst into a fierce light, "The soldiers and horses guarding each gate can still hold out for a few hours, Lord Hao hurriedly burned all the more than 100 important targets in the city according to the prior arrangement, especially the granary, no matter what." This official will first go out of the city in the front team and wait for you and Lord He outside the city. ”

Seeing Hao Lisu nodding in agreement, Yiliang turned around and walked out of the room. Time is pressing, even if there is a delay in the city for a while, there will be indescribable dangers, Yi Liang left in a hurry, and he didn't even bother to look at the people gathered in the courtyard, those who seemed to be Hao Lisu's subordinates who were waiting for the battle.

As Yiliang walked out of the room, the young man who came out of the inner room, he looked at Hao Lisu suspiciously, and pointed to the door, "Lord Hao, such a good opportunity, let him go?" ”

Hao Lisu stood up, looked at Gu Xuejiang, who had been hiding in the inner room just now, and shook his head gently, "Colleagues, this official really can't bear to do it." ”

"But he is very forbearing, and he is willing to turn Suzhou into a scorched earth!" Gu Xuejiang said hatefully, and then stared at Hao Lisu with both eyes, "Lord Hao, haven't you finally figured it out?" ”

Hao Lisu looked at Gu Xuejiang, and suddenly sat down again, lowering his head. Is it really like this to merge with those "bandits"?

Gu Xuejiang seemed to see through his psychology, and smiled regretfully, "Lord Hao, to tell you the truth, people didn't want to ask their little nephew to come and contact you again. However, the little nephew is thinking of your long-term friendship with your father, and he doesn't want to see adults become wronged souls under other people's knives. Time waits for no one, and in less than an hour or two, Suzhou will be breached, and it will be too late for anything. The treasury is in charge of your custody, and if He Guiqing makes any mess there, you won't be able to get rid of it. Besides, even the little nephew already knows that you have placed gunpowder in many places in the city, can others not know? Who would dare to light this fire? First of all, give up the purpose of the warring parties, and consider the interests of the people of Suzhou alone, and the adults should have a clear judgment. Since the little nephew is here, he is not afraid of death, and if he dies, it is worth it for the little nephew to die. If you feel that it is necessary, you can completely correct the little nephew, and then you and your men will live and die together with Suzhou. As long as the adults are not afraid of being infamy. ”

Alas! Hao Lisu looked up at Gu Xuejiang, who looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and sighed. Why do you come to study? A peaceful country governs the world and makes the country and the people safe. Since he doesn't have the ability to make the country as stable as Mount Tai, for the safety of the people of a city, what can he do otherwise? Thinking of this, Hao Lisu finally slowly stood up again.

"Someone!"

"Here! What do you command? Outside the gate, the soldiers of the Yamen of the clan came in response.

Hao Lisu twisted his face to look at Gu Xuejiang for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Virtuous nephew, the soldiers in the courtyard and on the Xu Gate have been handed over to you." ”

"Xikun, I've pinned all my hopes on you, no matter what, I'm going to open the door for me first!" Seeing that the sudden attack of artillery fire was almost over, Qin Rigang patted Zhu Xikun, who had been waiting impatiently.

"Dashuai, you just wait here, watch me level this small Suzhou city with one pounce." Zhu Xikun pulled out the big knife and rushed out.

Qin Rigang is eager to take credit. In order to compete for the first occupation of Suzhou, he deployed his troops in Changmen and Kinmen, and launched an attack on Suzhou at the same time. On the one hand, according to the overall deployment, he was responsible for monitoring the Qing army and preventing the Qing army from retreating southward.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Celestial Army approached the moat and began to erect pontoon bridges. The river was cold and bitter in December, but the soldiers of the Celestial Army who erected the pontoon bridge seemed to have long forgotten this qiē, and they had only one wish, that is, to lay the bridge as well as possible, so that their companions could cross the river and rush to the head of the city.

As soon as the bridge was erected, Zhu Xikun commanded a large number of soldiers and horses to cross the river, and the cloud ladder was attached to the city wall.

As soon as the heavy artillery fire of the Celestial Army stopped, the Qing soldiers who were hiding everywhere came to life again. In order to stick to Suzhou, Yiliang did make very careful preparations, and all kinds of anti-climbing equipment were prepared in advance at each city gate. Fire bottles, greystones, and so on, pretty much everything. In an instant, the gray stones flew up, the fire bottles were dropped like raindrops, and four or five ladders were swallowed up by the flames.
