More than a dozen important ministers of the imperial court, each responsible for raising a strategic material to support the Yangtze River defense line, and also made a military order in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Under such circumstances, these imperial courts could only put aside all other things of the imperial court and concentrate all their energy to raise war materials for the more than 100,000 soldiers on the Yangtze River defense line.

And this has another consequence......

The court of Nuoda was almost semi-paralyzed because of this...... A lot of news and intelligence from all over the country could not be delivered to Emperor Chongzhen as soon as possible because of the neglect of officials at all levels.

Such a situation is exactly what the Haw Par Army wants to see. Not only that, but the situation far exceeded the expectations of the Haw Par Army.

As the imperial court shifted all its limited attention to the Yangtze River defense line, which was in the crossfire, the Tiger and Par Army guerrillas operating in Jiangnan had all been reorganized into independent regiments.

In addition, in order to support the Yangtze River defense line, the 60,000 imperial court new troops besieging them sent almost all the red-coated cannons equipped to the Yangtze River defense line. The 10 separate regiments of the Haw Par Army, which had completed their redress and were in high spirits, did not miss this great opportunity to break the blockade.

As soon as Wang Feng's appointed time arrived, the ten independent regiments surrounded the ten county towns where the new imperial army was stationed and began to attack the county seats.

In the case that the imperial court could not take care of its own rear, in order to prevent the 60,000 new troops from being broken by the guerrillas.

The 60,000 new troops scattered throughout the southern part of the Yangtze River immediately focused their attention on these ten county towns and sent heavy troops to support these county towns to defeat the Tiger and Leopard Army guerrillas who dared to take the initiative to attack them......

As time passed, more and more new imperial troops began to reinforce the areas of war. A huge vacuum that was completely undefended by the new army of the imperial court appeared directly in front of Wang Feng of the First Army.

More importantly, as long as you use the fastest speed to pass through this vacuum area without the new army of the imperial court, the city of Nanjing, where the imperial court and Chongzhen are located. It will be close at hand, and you will be directly surrounded by yourself.

The big account of the Chinese army located on the dock reconfirmed the reconnaissance results that the scouts had just sent back.

A smile full of heat quickly appeared on Wang Feng's face.

Under the gaze of more than ten division commanders under his command, he decisively ordered: "Soldiers, the opportunity is in front of you......

Ben will order. The cavalry division is the vanguard of the whole army, and with the fastest speed and the shortest time, it will open a passage for the whole army to march into the city of Nanjing......"

"In addition to this, the cavalry division has one more task...... After rushing to Nanjing City, we quickly blocked all passages between Nanjing City and the outside world, and ensured that the news of our First Army's direct attack on Nanjing City would not be sent to Nanjing City ......"

"This time, Ben is going to take everyone to fight the court and Chongzhen by surprise, and don't give Chongzhen any time and opportunity to react......"

Luo Jingshan, the commander of the cavalry division, lit up his eyes. With a burning face, he reassured: "Please rest assured, the cavalry division will be the vanguard of the whole army, and let the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen become blind until the main force of the whole army reaches the outside of Nanjing......"

After nodding with a satisfied face, Wang Feng followed suit and shifted his gaze to the remaining division commanders and continued to order......

"The other three divisions, except for the two regiments of guards, and one battalion of heavy artillery continued to stay at the docks. Make sure the landing site is safe outside. All other units are under the personal command of the general. Immediately behind the cavalry division, they rushed to the outside of Nanjing within ten days and surrounded the city of Nanjing......"

When the main force of the First Army, more than 20,000 people, began to prepare for the sortie.

The 6,000 cavalry of the cavalry division had already embarked on the journey to Nanjing City with a deafening roar.

In order to save time, the city of Nanjing was blocked in the shortest possible time. The cavalry division, which marched all the way, barely stopped. Unless there are necessary checkpoints, all other county towns with imperial court garrisons are bypassed without exception.

Of course, throughout the march, there were also some county towns and checkpoints that were attacked. Cavalry was sent to the city of Nanjing to report the news.

However, no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the officers and men of a cavalry division with one man and two horses.

As a result, the cavalry division took only four days to complete the road that the infantry would have taken ten days to complete.

Facing the walls of Nanjing City, which was up to three battles, the mighty cavalry division did not show up. Only a small number of scouts were sent to monitor every move in Nanjing City from afar. The remaining 5,000 or so cavalry immediately formed an invisible encirclement within 10 miles of Nanjing City in battalions and companies.

In the next six or seven days, whether they wanted to enter Nanjing City or those who wanted to leave Nanjing City, without exception, they were all detained by these cavalry.

When the imperial court and Chongzhen did not receive any information about the First Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the main force of the First Army under the personal command of Wang Feng finally took eight days to meet Luo Jingshan, the commander of the cavalry division who came to greet him.

Seeing Wang Feng, Luo Jingshan's heart, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed. Then, with an anxious face, he said, "Commander, you are finally here...... If we come one day late, the cavalry division will not be able to complete its mission......"

Luo Jingshan, the commander of the First Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, actually showed such a nervous expression, which can be said to be the first time since Wang Feng met him.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Jingshan's words were finished, Wang Feng showed a puzzled expression on his face. Then, he directly asked, "What?" There are also tasks that the cavalry division cannot complete...... Tell me what made you so anxious......"

After Wang Feng watched the bombing, Luo Jingshan hurriedly replied: "Commander, Nanjing City is the residence of the imperial court, even under the condition of martial law in war, there are thousands of people entering and leaving the city gate every day, if not tens of thousands...... In order to completely turn the imperial court blind and prevent any news from outside from flowing into the city of Nanjing, in the past few days, we have detained a total of more than 20,000 people of all kinds and ......"

"What's more important is that because of our seizure, for a few days, the city of Nanjing has only been unable to enter and exit, which has attracted the attention of the new army defending the city...... Just an hour ago, we had just captured a group of new imperial army members who had gone out of the city to check ......"

"If we continue to find out according to this state of affairs, even if the tens of thousands of people we detain do not riot, the defenders of Nanjing City will find us because of this series of unusual......"

Hearing this, the puzzled expression on Wang Feng's face was already unconsciously covered with solemnity.

Because, a large part of the reason for this accident is caused by my own incomplete consideration of the problem at the beginning.

However, fortunately, he kept urging the troops to march in a hurry all the way, and arrived here two days ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, the whole situation will definitely develop beyond their expectations.

So, a happy smile for the rest of his life after the catastrophe appeared on Wang Feng's face.

He said directly to Luo Jingshan: "Master Luo, I don't blame you...... It's all because Ben didn't think things through at the beginning...... However, now that our main force is here, these worries of yours are gone......" "However, these worries of yours also give Ben Jiang a reminder to Ben General, so that Ben General can think of a way to weaken the defenders of Nanjing as much as possible......" (to be continued......
