Chapter 614: Helpless Withdrawal

Li Zhen led the army on the way. The army of 9,000 was mighty and powerful.

Entering the territory of Nanjing, the news spread rapidly.

Halfway through, Chen Yucheng's news had already been returned. Long Xi stood beside Li Zhen respectfully and said, "Great Shuai, after Chen Yucheng fled, he quickly gathered more than 3,000 soldiers. He led the army and was rushing towards the Jiangbei camp, intending to attack the Jiangbei camp. There are not many defenders in the battalion, shall we divide the troops to rescue? ”

"Division?"

Li Zhen shook his head lightly and said, "Our army is already in Nanjing, and Chen Yucheng is already on his way to Yangzhou. Even if a part of the soldiers were divided into sleepless journeys, it would be difficult to catch up with Chen Yucheng, so the strategy of dividing troops to rescue was not feasible. Brother Long, select three people from the thirteen guards of the Dragon Group, and rush back overnight to report the news. ”

"A single person rode a horse to the road, and the speed was fast, and it was easy to catch up with Chen Yucheng's army. As long as they arrived at the Jiangbei camp first and told Huang Shihai the news, it was enough to keep the camp. There were more than 1,000 soldiers in the battalion guarding it, plus Huang Shihai led by Huang Shihai, as well as the sharp knife battalion under Huang Qiang, as well as the weapons in the camp, which were enough to block Chen Yucheng's 3,000 soldiers. ”

Li Zhen said confidently: "In my opinion, let alone 3,000, even 5,000 people can't break through the camp." ”

"That's what the big marshal said!"

Long Xi nodded yes, agreeing with Li Zhen's statement.

Li Zhen continued: "In fact, we waved our army to attack Nanjing, and Chen Yucheng waved our army to attack Jiangbei Ying. Both sides have a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao hidden inside, which is the same place. The difference is that Hong Xiuquan is afraid of us and afraid that Nanjing will be breached, so he will inevitably order Chen Yucheng to rush back to the rescue. However, there is enough strength in the Jiangbei camp, but we can completely ignore Chen Yucheng's attack on the Jiangbei camp, and we will definitely win. ”

Lu Shaochuan laughed and praised: "Handsome and wise, that Chen Yucheng is a little kid, his hair hasn't grown, so he wants to fight with you, it's really far away, he's too tender!" You're an old thief, and you're a ......."

"Stop, stop!"

Li Zhen was unreliable when he heard this guy's words, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

Long Xi chuckled and shook his head, and then called Long Er, Long San, and Long Si, and asked the three of them to match two horses and rush to Jiangbei camp overnight. Long Er, Long San, and Long Si rode on horseback, and the speed was extremely fast, while Chen Yucheng led the army on foot, and he had to stop on the way to find food, so Long Er and the others were obviously sure enough to rush back to Jiangbei camp first.

Li Zhen solved the problem of the camp in Jiangbei and led the army to continue on the road.

……

Nanjing, Tianwang's Mansion.

In the main hall, a roar was heard. Every time there was a loud roar in the hall, the bodies of the soldiers standing guard outside the hall couldn't help but tremble, afraid of being shouted into the hall and then harming themselves.

The hysterical roar still reverberates.

Hong Xiuquan received the news of the defeat of the 30,000-strong army, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. These 30,000 soldiers were trained by him with great difficulty, and they were the elite of the elite, and now they are defeated, which makes Hong Xiuquan very angry. After the defeat of the army, Li Zhen waved his army towards Nanjing, which made Hong Xiuquan feel afraid.

On the basis of fear, Hong Xiuquan naturally hoped that someone would rescue Nanjing.

However, Chen Yucheng led the gathered soldiers to the Jiangbei camp, obviously not caring about his safety. For this reason, Hong Xiuquan was very unhappy, and he continuously sent scouts to let the scouts convey the order to recall Chen Yucheng. In one day, Hong Xiuquan issued thirteen orders in a row, all of which asked the scout to convey the order to recall Chen Yucheng.

The news soon spread to Chen Yucheng's army, in the big tent.

Chen Yucheng sat dry, looking at the thirteen orders in his hand, and his heart was sad.

Although the thirteen orders were not received at the same time, the time of payment on the order was the same day, which means that this was an order issued by Hong Xiuquan on the same day. Chen Yucheng is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, he can see the mystery behind the thirteen orders, and he can also guess that Hong Xiuquan is already angry.

The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!

Chen Yucheng sighed, looking at the thirteen orders in his hand, his heart was cold. It's just that the scout who conveyed the order below didn't understand Chen Yucheng's thoughts, and even thought that Chen Yucheng deliberately didn't go back. The scout was a soldier stationed in Nanjing, thinking that after Nanjing was broken, he himself would definitely be killed, so he eagerly looked forward to Chen Yucheng's return.

Chen Yucheng didn't listen to the order, and the scout's expression was tense, and he didn't have a good face. The scout said in a deep voice: "General Chen, the situation in Nanjing is critical, and the Heavenly King orders you to return immediately. This time, do you return? ”

"Back!"

A hoarse voice came from Chen Yucheng's throat, and his back stiffened.

His pride, his revenge, was shattered by this command.

A young man of about twenty years old should be full of vitality, but he showed a tired old color, which can be imagined the pressure on Chen Yucheng's heart. The scout ignored this, and after receiving the reply, he left the barracks happily. When the generals in the army learned of the imminent withdrawal, they rushed to the big tent.

"General, we are on our way quickly, and we are almost arriving at the camp in Jiangbei. Victory is in sight, and we can't withdraw it! ”

"General, Yue Wumu's attack on the Jin people was because he withdrew and fell short. You are now retreating with your brothers, which also means that all your efforts have been in vain. General, you can't withdraw it! The last general dared to say that there were still tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Nanjing, as well as foreign soldiers stationed in Nanjing, plus a strong city wall, which was enough to block it! ”

"General, I also agree with not withdrawing troops!"

……

The generals in the army all thought that they were about to arrive at the camp in Jiangbei, this was their opportunity, and it was also an opportunity to give Li Zhen a heavy blow, so they cherished it very much and did not want to go back.

Chen Yucheng shook his head and ordered in a deep voice: "The king has an order, and the general must obey it. The Heavenly King issued thirteen orders in a row urging me to go back, and you don't need to persuade me again. With the general, I will return to Tianjing, and when Li Zhen is repulsed, I will gather soldiers to attack the Jiangbei camp. After a pause, Chen Yucheng said again: "Whoever is persuading, Ben will immediately behead him." ”

When the generals in the army heard this, they did not dare to persuade them again, so they had to obey the order.

Chen Yucheng returned with his soldiers, with Chen Yucheng's current position and marching speed, he knew that he could not reach before Li Zhen, and only hoped that the defenders in the city could support for a while longer, and even that it would be best to repel Li Zhen.

……

The news of Chen Yucheng's return soon spread to Li Zhen's military camp. Li Zhen got the news, summoned Long Xi, Smith and others, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Yucheng rushed back with the soldiers, we must take Nanjing as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more Chen Yucheng, and other variables will be born." The strategy of attacking Nanjing, I think so,......"

Li Zhen told the whole plan and ordered them one by one.
