In the morning, under the orders of Tulai, the Jiannu killed dozens of people in front of the soldiers of Ganzhou Town, and then escorted the rest of the people away with a swagger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although almost all the soldiers were angered by Jiannu's move, because of Pang Yue's military order, no one dared to go out of the city without permission, so they could only grit their teeth and look at Jiannu's arrogant back, and sprinkle their anger on those Jiannu captives who were hanging on the city.

As an official soldier, he could only watch Jiannu do evil to the people in front of his eyes! For the first time, the soldiers of Ganzhou Town felt a sense of humiliation.

Why didn't Pang Yue want to lead the army out of the city to give Jiannu a little color? But he already saw that Jiannu's move was just an attempt to lure the defenders out of the city. Nowadays, Jiannu has more advanced artillery than Ganzhou Town, and it also has an advantage in numbers. Once he rashly led the army out of the city and lost the cover of the city, what kind of losses should the team that had just formed combat effectiveness in Ganzhou Town suffer?

For a long time, Pang Yue was silently staring at the outside of the city, his face was like sinking water, he didn't say a word, and his heart was also enduring infinite suffering.

In the afternoon, Jiannu's old trick was repeated, and he escorted the captive people to a few hundred paces away from the south gate of the town, and killed dozens of people with great brava. The Ming army still did not leave the city, but under the instruction of Pang Yue, the soldiers also took the two Jiannu prisoners alive in front of the Jiannu outside the city. The terrible screams extinguished a lot of the arrogance of the Jiannu outside the city. Seeing that the Ming army remained unmoved, Turai did not order further action, and ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp, leaving behind the mutilated corpses of the people.

In the evening, Lu Qiwu, Shi Youliang and other generals came to Pang Yue's residence again to ask to go out of the city and fight to the death with Jiannu, but they were all scolded back by Pang Yue. Everyone left disappointed and indignant, and even had a question in their hearts: Is this still the general soldier who is not afraid of fighting and fighting?

After everyone left, Pang Yue silently endured the torment caused by his decision, while thinking about the current situation. Although Emperor Longwu has now entered Huguang and avoided the tragedy of being captured and killed in Fujian in the original history, on the whole, the situation is still not optimistic. According to the memory of his previous life, Pang Yue knew that the main force of the Eight Banners led by Bo Luo, the general of Jiannu's expedition to the south, might have crossed the Xianxia Pass and entered Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong, the most powerful bandit leader in Fujian Province, would surrender without the slightest resistance, while the rest of the Ming army would not play a role in the overall situation because of its weak strength. Now, what Pang Yue is most worried about is that once the main force of Jiannu led by Bo Luo swept Fujian and waved his army westward, could Ganzhou still be able to hold it?

Prior to this, Pang Yue had discussed this matter with Tian Shizun. Tian Shizun meant: Now that the families of the ministers and vassal kings are still in Ganzhou City, once Emperor Longwu enters Huguang and settles down, he will definitely send Huguang Ming troops to Jiangxi to support. When the time comes, multiple reinforcements will arrive, and even if Jiannu cannot be defeated, it will be able to form a confrontation with Jiannu by relying on the terrain.

Pang Yue felt that Tian Shizun's words were not unreasonable, but he still felt a little unreliable in his heart for those Ming troops in Huguang. But now we can only take one step at a time.

There is Jiannu pressing in front of him, and there are still Jiannu reinforcements coming in the future, but there are not many reinforcements that can be of great use on his side. In the face of this situation, Pang Yue once again felt the powerlessness of facing the tide of history as a traverser, but he was still secretly encouraging himself: in the original history, the Southern Ming monarchs and ministers made so many mistakes and missed so many good opportunities, but they still persisted for more than ten years, and there were several opportunities to turn the tables during the period. Now it's only the second year of Longwu, what do you have to be afraid of? As long as you keep at it, you will definitely see a turnaround. Thinking of this, Pang Yue felt a little relieved. …,

As a matter of fact, the situation was just as Pang Yue estimated or predicted: as early as four days ago, that is, on 16 August, the main force of Jiannu led by Bo Luo, the general of the southern expedition, and a large number of green battalions requisitioned from Jiangsu and Zhejiang had crossed the Xianxia Pass and entered Fujian. The defenders of Xianxia Pass had already been withdrawn by Zheng Zhilong, so this pass at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang was only a scenic spot on the way of Jiannu's march. In addition, there was also a small episode on Xianxialing that made people feel extremely uncomfortable in the stomach: Ruan Dacheng, a traitor who surrendered Jiannu in Zhejiang and volunteered to go out with the army this time, climbed Xianxialing in a hurry regardless of his age, leaving many Manchurian Jiannu behind, and issued a series of heroic words of "You young people are not as good as my old man". However, this disgusting episode has a meaningful rest: after climbing the Xianxia Ridge, the old traitor Ruan went to see the king of Hades without warning while resting on a large rock, and was carried down the mountain wrapped in several rotten wooden boards. God finally opened his eyes.

Just as Pang Yue was silently pondering alone, Ma Yuancheng, director of the Military Intelligence Department, rushed over. Seeing Ma Yuancheng appear in person, Pang Yue knew that there must be an urgent military intelligence coming back from the front. Now although Jiannu is under the city of Ganzhou, he has not surrounded the whole city, so the news from the front can still be transmitted back to the city.

"My lord, it's not good!" Ma Yuancheng's deep voice carried a clear sense of urgency.

Pang Yue had an ominous premonition in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "What's the matter?" Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. ”

"Four days ago, Ji'an was lost!"

"What?!" Pang Yue stood up suddenly, "What the hell is going on!?" ”

Pang Yue originally thought that the original defenders in Ji'an City, plus the reinforcements that arrived a few months ago, had a total strength of more than 10,000 troops, and even if they couldn't defeat Jin Shengheng's 20,000 horses, it was always no problem to protect themselves. Unexpectedly, Ji'an was lost.

"Originally, the defenders in Ji'an had repelled several attacks by Jin Shengheng's troops. But later, Jin Shengheng secretly bought off a member of Zhang Guo's subordinates to fight guerrillas, and cooperated with him to open the city gate and attack the city. ”

"What about Governor Wan and Governor Liu? What about the loss of people and horses? Pang Yue asked, the matter has come to this point, no matter how much he sighs, it is useless, now he wants to know what the losses of Ji Anming's army are, and whether Wan Yuanji, Liu Guangyin and others have escaped the bad luck of being captured or committing suicide.

"It's all broken out, and the loss is not too big. Among them, Governor Wan and Governor Liu broke through in the direction of Huguang under the protection of Wu Zhifan, Zhang Guozuo and others, and the Dian camp in the city came south under the leadership of Tong Yizhen and Chen Ke, and Jin Shengheng's troops did not pursue too far. However, according to the secret agents of our army, Jin Shengheng's troops also have a tendency to move south, and they may have set off at this time. ”

As soon as Jin Shengheng's troops go south, the Qing army will add 20,000 fresh troops, and the contrast between the enemy and our forces will be even greater! Thinking of this, Pang Yue couldn't help frowning slightly, paused and continued to ask: "Is there any new news coming back from the direction of Huguang?" ”

Ma Yuancheng shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Pang Yue sighed and said, "I already know about this matter, you go down first." But don't announce this news yet, as soon as there is new news back, report it immediately! ”

"Yes!"

It seems that we can't continue to shrink like this! Something needs to be done! After Ma Yuancheng left, Pang Yue said silently. At this time, he began to recall the various situations he had seen about the Qing army a few days ago, and began to think about countermeasures.

After walking back and forth for more than a dozen laps, Pang Yue suddenly thought of an idea, although the possibility of success was not very high, he still decided to give it a try, so he called Wei Yuan over: "You go and find Deng Yuanpeng and Xie Wencong!" ”

"Yes, sir!"
