373 Battle of Jiujiang City

Although Jiujiang City is an important place to guard the northwest gate of the Yangtze River, but for more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, it has been calm here, even when King Ning rebelled, and when the Japanese invaded the south, it was only a rumor here, and there was no real war, which led to many of the original defensive measures, which had already been completely decayed, or artificially demolished, although, after the Liukou rose around, the yamen of Jiujiang Mansion also made some defensive means accordingly, but that is also some kind of goods, if it really fights, It didn't work at all, the defense facilities of Jiujiang City really started to be built, that is, after Gao Jie entered, but because the time was too short, it was only a rough defense.

But this kind of rudimentary defense, under the defense of Gao Jie and others, actually withstood the attack of Jin Shengheng's 100,000 army for three consecutive days, although the city and defense facilities were seriously damaged, but Gao Jie did not suffer much loss, of course, if Jin Shengheng continued like this, then the loss of Gao Jie and others was inevitable.

"Boom, boom, all for Lao Tzu desperately bang, if anyone kills Jin Shengheng's **** dog thing, Lao Tzu will give him a third-level official promotion and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver." Standing at the head of Jiujiang City, Gao Jie faced the roaring army of black pressure, not only did not feel the slightest timidity, but with excitement and excitement on his face, he shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers, for Gao Jie's roar, the surrounding soldiers did not react, those who were familiar with him did not say, even those soldiers who had just been recruited, in the past few days of defensive battles, Gao Jie's temperament has long been familiar.

"My lord, you said these **** people, it's been three days in a row, they don't know how tired, or so desperate, it seems that we don't give them some real things today, let them suffer a little, they really think that our Gao family army is all muddy!" After Gao Jie finished yelling, one of the young generals on the side continued.

Hearing the words of this young general, Gao Jie suddenly laughed a few times, and then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you don't understand this, these soldiers under Jin Shengheng, although their combat effectiveness is not very good, but their bones are not bad, I heard that Jin Shengheng gives these people two dry meals a day, those real elites, or three dry meals a day, I heard that there is meat to eat every ten days, and there is wine to drink during the New Year's holidays, which is simply more generous than the rich people in our hometown, you said that the soldiers raised in this way have been attacked for three days, even if it is thirty days, There is no problem, but it is a pity that these people are in the hands of Jin Shengheng, an incompetent person, but they are completely ruined, if under the hands of this general, it is guaranteed that these people can be trained one by one stronger than the tiger, not to mention compared with the elite of the Shaanxi Ming army, but at least comparable to the Manchu army, let alone a Jiangxi, even if it is the whole world, there is no place that can not go. ”

The reason why Gao Jie is so clear about Jin Shengheng's army is completely because of the credit of the nightingale, and it is precisely because of the nightingale's inquiry that he was able to hand over all the news to Gao Jie, so that Gao Jie was prepared in advance and prepared for the next things.

After listening to Gao Jie's words, all the soldiers around couldn't help but feel that the saliva in their mouths immediately increased, especially when they heard that the soldiers under the city were able to eat meat once every ten days, their hearts were eager to take refuge in the past, of course, this was just a thought.

Because for them, it is good to be able to eat a full meal every day, which is actually a sign of this era, because the productivity of the land is low, resulting in food production is not as huge as in later generations, in addition to the lack of nutrition of people in this era, they eat coarse grains, which causes their food to be very huge, but because of the low grain production, if it is a peaceful year, it is better, at least some people can barely starve to death, but if it is a disaster year, Then you have to sell your sons and daughters in exchange for food to survive, so at this time, those who can eat a meal of meat are the families of wealthy families, and the landlords in the countryside on one side can buy a little fat meat and boil some fat at home during the New Year's Festival, and it is already very good to have a full meal of dumplings.

Seeing the way the people around him looked after listening to his words, Gao Jie also knew their thoughts very well, so he laughed and said, "Hahaha, what's the matter, are you greedy, tell you, since you are greedy, then you can fight well, and after we win them, General Ben guarantees that you can also be like them, you can eat meat, how about it, do you want to eat meat." ”

It is difficult for people in later generations to understand that people at this time will do many unbearable things for a bowl of rice, but this is the essence of this era, a bowl of rice is so reused, not to mention the attraction of meat, therefore, after Gao Jie's words were finished, for a while, the entire city responded to the sound, and the morale reached the peak in an instant, this kind of accident was something that everyone did not expect.

The thunder of the city's cheers made Jin Shengheng who was watching under the city depressed, although Jin Shengheng was not an incompetent person, but when it came to fighting, he was really not very good, from a pawn to the position of the current emperor of the earth, Jin Shengheng was more good at being an official, rather than fighting, of course, at the end of the Ming Dynasty when the civil officials covered the sky with one hand, the generals withered, and the armament was relaxed, he was also a capable person, if he faced the general bandits, relying on many soldiers, and it was possible to win, but compared with Gao Jie, He's just a little underwhelmed.

Although Gao Jie is also from a rogue background, he is a real fighter, and his adaptability to the battlefield is not much stronger than that of a general like Jin Shengheng who relies on whiskers and horses, so this is also the reason why Jin Shengheng did not capture Jiujiang City after attacking for three days with an elite army of 100,000.

"Come on, beat the drum and cheer, the official doesn't believe it, this Jiujiang City is cast of copper and iron, even if he is really cast of copper and iron, then the 100,000 troops under the official will also turn it into fat powder, and the official must completely eliminate Gao Jie, the traitor, and return me to Jiangxi to stabilize the world." Seeing that countless figures surrounded the city wall, but none of them could attack the city, Jin Shengheng couldn't help but order the guards around him.

"Lord Jin, Lord Jin, please calm your anger, my subordinates believe that my army will definitely capture Jiujiang City, those Gao Jie's guys, you must not make a big fuss for such a trivial matter, if you hurt your body because of this incident, it will be worth the loss, quickly, please drink water, this is a subordinate specially ordered someone to boil mung bean soup for you, you drink it!" As soon as Jin Shengheng's words landed, he heard a flattering voice next to him.

After hearing this voice, except for Jin Shengheng, the rest of the generals couldn't help frowning, especially Wang Deren, the henchman under Jin Shengheng, whose face became as ugly as a pig's liver, the reason why this is so is because this flattering person is Chen Shengyu who was introduced by him, when three days ago, Chen Shengyu and his 20,000 soldiers had that kind of funny thing on the battlefield, Chen Shengyu was angrily reprimanded by Jin Shengheng.

Originally, everyone thought that this time, Chen Shengyu could be regarded as completely finished, but what everyone didn't expect was that Chen Shengyu was a godsend in grasping people's hearts and slapping horses, which was simply a godsend, and it didn't take a day to eliminate Jin Shengheng's anger towards him, but gradually developed a good impression of him, Chen Shengyu took advantage of this good feeling, and quickly got on Jin Shengheng, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to marching and fighting, wherever Jin Shengheng felt uncomfortable, Chen Shengyu was ready, made Jin Shengheng feel more comfortable than home, and it was precisely in this way that Chen Shengyu completely replaced Wang Deren in just three days and became the closest person to Jin Shengheng.

Of course, because the time is too short, Jin Shengheng only relies on Chen Shengyu in life, and he still takes great care of Wang Deren, after all, Wang Deren still has some military ability, but even so, Wang Deren still feels the strong threat brought by Chen Shengyu to him, after all, the good impression can be accumulated over time, if Chen Shengyu persists like this, he will surpass Wang Deren sooner or later in Jin Shengheng's mind, if that is really the case, Wang Deren will be completely tragic.

Therefore, although Wang Deren was very dissatisfied with him in his heart, because the war was urgent now, he had no time to deal with him, but even so, some generals around him were afraid of offending Wang Deren, so they had to draw a line with Chen Shengyu.

"Bastard, don't you look at what kind of place this is, is it a place where you are free and presumptuous, if it affects the siege of the city, it is useless to kill you, why don't you go to the back quickly, get ready, and wait for the army to return for a while, you can eat and rest." Before Jin Shengheng could speak, Wang Deren suddenly reprimanded Chen Shengyu loudly.

Hearing Wang Deren's reprimand, Jin Shengheng, who had just drunk 10,000 mung bean water and was about to praise Chen Shengyu, couldn't help but hold back the words of praise in his heart, although he was very satisfied with what Chen Shengyu had done, but he knew that just like Wang Deren said, it was wartime, and everything was about to fight, and what Chen Shengyu was doing now was indeed not quite in line with the atmosphere of the battlefield, even if Jin Shengheng wanted to protect him, there was no reason.

Fortunately, Jin Shengheng really liked Chen Shengyu very much in his heart, and he couldn't bear to criticize him, so he waved his hand at him and said, "Okay, Master Chen, you can go down, there is nothing you need to be busy with here, you should go back and make logistical preparations, when the time comes, as long as you can successfully defeat Jiujiang City and take Gao Jie, the dog thief, you will also have a credit." ”

Hearing Jin Shengheng's words, Chen Shengyu was very grateful, like a loyal minister's dog, and after saluting Jin Shengheng, he slowly retreated to the back camp.

Seeing Chen Shengyu slowly retreating, the eyes of all the soldiers around Jin Shengheng were full of disdain and contempt, after all, it was quite contemptible to a vulgar villain like him.

It's a pity that everyone didn't expect that when Chen Shengyu arrived at the back camp, he was full of flattery, and his vulgar image immediately changed, and he asked a guard next to him with a serious face, "How is it, are you ready, this good show is about to start, but don't make a mistake at this time, otherwise, the future of this official will be ruined, and when the time comes, even our lives may not be guaranteed." ”

With Chen Shengyu's questioning, he saw a huge iron pot on the hundreds of fires in front of him, each iron pot was full of large pieces of beef and mutton, and now the water in the iron pot has already been boiled, stewing large pieces of meat, constantly grunting, the whole camp is meaty, this is what Jin Shengheng means, after three days of hard fighting, although the army under Jin Shengheng are very strong soldiers, but the hard work for many days still makes many soldiers feel tired, at this time, Jin Shengheng let stew these meat, In order to treat the army well, so as to ensure sufficient morale in the next battle, it is a pity that it was this reward that allowed Chen Shengyu to find the long-awaited opportunity.

Hearing Chen Shengyu's question, the guard said in a low voice, "Returning to my lord, the matter has been done, and the subordinates dare to guarantee that everything must be foolproof, it is all the hands of the old man who has followed the adult for many years, and after the guarantee comes back, they will never be able to move again, and when the time comes, they will be lambs to be slaughtered, and they will definitely be at our disposal." ”

"Okay, good, good, as long as everything goes well, Jin Shengheng and the others probably never thought that this trip to Jiujiang City would not only not make them famous, but also when they died, when the time came, Lao Tzu would definitely return all the humiliation he had suffered in the past three days to them." Chen Shengyu nodded and said.

...........................

Just when Jin Shengheng was struggling with how to capture Jiujiang City, he didn't realize that less than a hundred miles away from him, the army was quietly rushing here, probably because Jin Shengheng thought that this was Jiangxi, his territory, so he didn't send too many spies to explore the surrounding intelligence, so although the actions of this army were not public, they were not very secretive.

If you can come here at this time, it will definitely not be someone from Jin Shengheng's side, since it is not Jin Shengheng's person, then it can only be Gao Jie's person, this army is the 30,000 army led by Fu Zhongyan, who took Raozhou Mansion, the reason why he came here now is not that Fu Zhongyan has bad intentions or something delayed, but that he has already discussed with Gao Jie, in order to completely annihilate Jin Shengheng and take Jiangxi Province.
