Chapter 597: Bloody Battle in Kuizhou Capital City (1)

"General Liu, General Luo, you have worked hard."

When Hong Chengchou saw the exhausted Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang, there was no expression on his face, he didn't mean to greet him at all, and he was in no mood to think about other things.

Intelligence shows that Su Tiancheng's judgment is completely accurate, the Liukou who attacked the capital city of Kuizhou set off on the evening of the fifth day of the eighth month, and it is now noon on the ninth day of the first month, and in four days, the Liukou may be about to arrive at the capital city of Kuizhou.

Those who stayed in Bazhou, there must still be some rogues, but Hong Chengchou didn't want to pay attention to this part of the rogues, it is safe to say that Li Zicheng must have taken the rogues to attack Kuizhou City, so in terms of the deployment of troops, Hong Chengchou made a change, originally planned to leave 10,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, stay in Bazhou City, and exterminate the remaining rogues, now no one remains, all retreat, reinforce Kuizhou City, this time, we must completely annihilate the Liukou who attacked Kuizhou City, and capture Li Zicheng alive.

The officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion and the guards were all concentrated around Hong Chengchou, and at this time, he was going to tell all the plans, and he must make everyone realize the seriousness of the problem again.

"Everyone, you all know the basic situation, in fact, from the beginning, this is the arrangement made by Lord Su, the plan of the Liukou to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, Lord Su has already seen it, in order to be able to completely annihilate the Liukou, Lord Su ordered the Jiangning battalion to rush to Bazhou according to the pre-arrangement, and now, the news that the Jiangning battalion entered Bazhou has long been spread, and the Liukou is relieved, it must be an all-out attack on Kuizhou City, His Royal Highness the Prince and Lord Su are all staying in Kuizhou City, and the soldiers who stay by their side are only 12,000 people, according to our estimates, attacking the Liukou in the capital city of Kuizhou. Not less than 100,000 people. ”

Everyone's faces have changed, 12,000 people against 100,000 people, what kind of concept is this, everyone is clear, even the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have the courage of ten thousand people. It's hard to beat four hands with two fists.

"The situation is very clear, Li Zicheng led the Liukou, on the evening of the fifth day of the new year, they set off from Bazhou, they took a different route from us, from Bazhou to Yilong, directly into Xinning, into Wanxian, from the water and land, divided into two batches to arrive at Kuizhou. It's been four days since today, and if the Liukou moves quickly, the waterway may enter the periphery of the Kuizhou capital city, but we are still in Pyeongchang, and there are still more than 600 miles from Pyeongchang to the Kuizhou capital city. ”

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou sighed.

"In order to convince the Liukou that the Jiangning camp had all rushed to Bazhou, Lord Su did not care about his own safety. Staying in the capital city of Kuizhou and waiting for the arrival of the rogue, now the goal has been achieved. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Su are in danger. ”

"The decisive battle has begun, now it depends on our ability, when I left Kuizhou City, Lord Su said, raise troops for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, you talk about it. How long will it take for us to be able to get to the capital city of Kuizhou? ”

The crowd was a little quieter.

He Renlong spoke first.

"Hong Shuai, the last general is willing to lead the leading troops and rush to the capital of Kuizhou within two days, if he can't do it. Willing to order military law. ”

As soon as He Renlong finished speaking, Liu Shiliang, Luo Chang, Qin Rui and others immediately asked for battle.

Everyone is calculating the time, starting from now on, they will rush to Kuizhou Mansion City within two days, and Liukou will attack Kuizhou Mansion City, that is, it will take more than a day, and it is not possible to take Kuizhou Mansion City.

Hong Chengchou coughed, and everyone quieted down.

"You have to take into account that when the soldiers arrive at the capital city of Kuizhou, they must immediately plunge into the battle, and they must not become tired divisions, and they can fight and win the battle, which is the most basic requirement."

Everyone once again promised that they would complete the task.

Hong Chengchou looked at everyone and slowly spoke.

"He Renlong, you lead 10,000 soldiers, set off now, at the end of August 11, you must arrive at the city of Kuizhou, start an attack, you must not delay the time, otherwise the city of Kuizhou will be in danger, the rest of the soldiers, set off now, rest for two hours at night, the rest of the time is all marching, before noon on the 11th, must all arrive at the city of Kuizhou."

The capital city of Kuizhou.

Qu Qingze entered the room with a pale face, holding a letter in his hand.

"My lord, the information of the dark line is here."

Su Tiancheng took the letter, opened it unhurriedly, and after reading the letter, he opened his mouth with a smile.

"Hehe, Li Zicheng spent the capital this time, leading 90,000 rogues to attack the capital city of Kuizhou, it seems that he is desperate, and the moment of the decisive battle has finally arrived."

Qu Qingze doesn't have the bearing of Su Tiancheng.

"My lord, the Liukou set off on the night of the fifth day of the eighth month, and today is the ninth day of the new month, according to the time calculation, the vanguard of the Liukou may arrive in Kuizhou Mansion tonight."

"What's the panic, isn't everything expected?"

Qu Qingze was choked for a moment, and he didn't know what Lu Dao said.

"You go and invite His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Yao, Lord Fang, and the officers above the commander of the Jiangning Battalion Guard, all of them come to me, by the way, and General Yao of the Jinyi Guard."

A few minutes later, everyone was inside.

Su Tiancheng spoke first.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, my lords, Li Zicheng rushed to Kuizhou Mansion with 90,000 rogues, and he will arrive tonight."

The room fell silent for a moment.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that for the sake of safety, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave the city of Kuizhou by boat, as long as you enter the territory of Huguang, it will be safe, the ship is ready, five hundred brocade guards, and one thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers escorted, which can ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound, and the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is related to the stability of my Ming Dynasty, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave immediately."

Zhu Cihong's eyes widened.

"Master Su, didn't I say it a long time ago, I will never leave Kuizhou Capital City, don't say such things."

Yao Minggong and Fang Fengnian came to their senses at this time and were about to open their mouths to advise Zhu Cihong, but when they saw Zhu Cihong's eyes, they opened their mouths and did not speak.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Tongzhi Yao Yong, was mainly responsible for Zhu Cihong's safety, and the soldiers' temper was straighter.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that what Master Su said is correct, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should leave the Kuizhou Mansion City......"

"Yao Yong, are you going to let me be a deserter?"

Zhu Cihong really lost his temper, Yao Yong's words were not finished, and his body trembled.

Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng spoke.

"General Yao is also for the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister feels that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to be angry, the original minister also had this idea, hoping that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can leave the Kuizhou Mansion City, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must stay in the Kuizhou Mansion City, which is a huge encouragement to the soldiers and ministers of the Jiangning Battalion, but the minister still has a request, and I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to agree."

"Lord Su, please speak, as long as I don't leave Kuizhou City."

"The minister will not let His Royal Highness the prince leave the city of Kuizhou, but there are conditions, the two armies are fighting, and the amount of strength is very different, the city of Kuizhou is not impregnable, the city has not been maintained for a long time, it is very dilapidated, the minister is not absolutely sure, when the city is broken, the lives are devastated, everything is unpredictable. Therefore, the minister has a word first, first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must obey the arrangement of the minister, do not go out easily, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved to the east of the city, there is a mansion there, it has long been cleaned up, and second, in case the city is broken, His Royal Highness the Prince must evacuate immediately, quickly rush to the river, leave by boat, there is no need to stay in the capital city of Kuizhou. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Su Tiancheng and wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Tiancheng's resolute eyes, he nodded.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers are about to start arranging."

"Although Master Su arranges, what do you need me to do, just say."

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and began to arrange.

"Gonggong Qin, the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, General Yao."

Qin Sande and Yao Yong were listed.

"Your responsibility is to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, no matter what happens in the Kuizhou Mansion City, it has nothing to do with you, you directly obey my orders, receive the order to retreat, you must escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave the Kuizhou Mansion City safely, five hundred brocade guards and a thousand personal soldiers, with you, you remember, stay by the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all times, and never leave an inch."

"General Liu Tiehan, the commander of the scout battalion guard of the Jiangning battalion."

Liu Tiehan is out of the ranks.

"The city gate in the east of Kuizhou Mansion is the top priority, if there is danger in Kuizhou Mansion City, the soldiers of Jiangning Battalion will fight a bloody way to ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can evacuate from the East Gate and get on the ship safe and sound, you lead the previous scouts and wait at the East Gate, no matter what the situation in Kuizhou Mansion City, your task is to guard the East Gate, and you must not lose anything, if you can't take the East Gate, bring your head to see me."

"The Jiangning battalion is under the command of General Sun Chuanting."

"You are responsible for commanding 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, defending the city of Kuizhou, even if you fight to the point of one soldier and one soldier, you are not allowed to take a step back, there are no deserters in the Jiangning Battalion, and the eldest husband would rather die standing than live on his knees."

"Jiangning Battalion Shenji Battalion Commander Di Huaixiang."

"Five red-coated cannons, ten general-sized cannons and delivered to the capital city of Kuizhou, you have to let these cannons exert their maximum power, don't be stingy with cannonballs, give them all to me, if the city is broken, you will be responsible for destroying these red-coated cannons and red-coated cannons, and you can't stay in Liukou."

"The imperial envoy of Zuo Du, the commander of the Jiangning battalion, Lord Qu Qingze."

"You are responsible for the collection of all intelligence, especially the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion led by Lord Hong Chengchou, I believe that they will soon be killed."

"Lord Prince Zhan Shi Yao Minggong, Lord Fang Fengnian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you accompany His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness the Prince evacuates the Kuizhou Mansion City, you will follow all the way."

After the arrangement, Su Tiancheng walked to the middle of the room, saluted the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and saluted everyone with fists.

"Please, this is the hardest battle that the Jiangning camp has encountered, in the face of nine times our rogues, I hope you are all ready to sacrifice your lives for the country, the emperor will remember us, and the Ming will remember us." (To be continued......)
