Chapter 9 Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger

Wang Feng didn't catch Yang Shuijiao's words, but just sighed, because Hong Xuanjiao also had a disapproving look, which made him realize that he was purely playing the piano to the cow, but he still had some hope for Yang Xiuqing, after all, men can see farther than women.

Hong Xuanjiao also noticed Wang Feng's slightly contemptuous gaze, and her heart was suddenly not very happy, so she said coldly: "Okay, you go back, remember, you can't leave the camp without an order!" ”

"Thank you Sister Xuanjiao for reminding me, Miss Shuijiao, farewell!" Wang Feng hugged his fists and turned away with his subordinates, but he was surprised to find that the faces of these people were full of lightness, obviously thinking that they could avoid a catastrophe.

Wang Feng smiled sadly: "What? Happy? We can't run outside, let's go back to the camp and run in place, don't be lazy! ”

"Wow~~" The scream of the ghost crying wolf rang out!

As soon as he returned to the camp, Wang Feng immediately arranged to run in situ, mixed with queue training, which was more tiring than a simple long-distance run, and it was estimated that the distance converted into a straight line was about five kilometers, and then he stopped and changed to standing on the pile, of course, the pile gong is not so easy to stand, and those with poor understanding need to be repeated many times to enter the fixed state, and even some people can't touch the trick in their lives, and the time is not right, Wang Feng just taught them the method, starting from tomorrow, every morning and evening to practice standing piles, and finally, the military body boxing was passed down, and then it was announced that it was dispersed.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Wang Feng and the others had just collected the frame, a herald ran over and called from afar: "Wang Feng, the East King has an order, our army is attacking the city today, and I order you to go to the north gate of the city to meet the East King as soon as possible, don't delay!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Feng stepped forward quickly, took the order, hurriedly packed his bags, and led his men to run into the city.

Although a fierce battle was only experienced yesterday, the streets of Jiangning City have been cleaned up, but except for the Taiping soldiers, there is not a single pedestrian to be seen, and groups of military horses are assembled in the direction of the city, and the air is full of tension.

The area of the city is not large, about one square kilometer, it is the palace city of the Nanjing court of the Ming Dynasty, but the city wall is as high as ten meters, when Wang Feng arrived, the siege has begun, the Franco machine gun, the Hongyi cannon spit out the tongue of fire towards the city wall, especially the Hongyi cannon, whenever the fire is finished, someone immediately water the cannon body to cool down, but also take a dry cloth to dry the inner cavity, and then reset, set the crosshair, almost a shell to three to five minutes, so although the battlefield is full of gunsmoke, the cannon rumbles, the artillery fire is not too intensive, the siege mainly relies on the ladder, Artillery played only an auxiliary role.

The city was also full of people, not only the Eight Banners, but also many women, children and old people, either holding guns or shooting bows and arrows!

Wang Feng quickly swept it, then came to Yang Xiuqing, and said, "My subordinates have seen the East King!" ”

"Hmm~~ No need to be polite!" Yang Xiuqing waved his hand and said: "According to reliable sources, there are a total of 4,000 Eight Banners Qing Demons in the city, 4,000 Green Battalion soldiers, and nearly 30,000 families of the Eight Banners, and the strength of our army to attack the city is about 150,000, do you think it can be taken down today?" ”

Wang Feng understood, this is Yang Xiuqing inspecting himself, in general, although Yang Xiuqing employs nepotism, he also pays attention to the allocation of talents, at least much stronger than Hong Xiuquan, of course, the talents in Yang Xiuqing's eyes are loyal to him.

Wang Feng didn't dare to be slow, and observed it carefully, and then said: "If it was placed a hundred years ago, the old and weak women and children went to the city except to die in vain, there was no effect, but now it is different, you don't need too much body to shoot, with a large number of firearms, you can kill strong men without the power of a chicken, the king of the east, please see, the people who shoot in the city are all old and weak, women and children, and Zhuang Yong will either shoot cannons or arrows, obviously the Qing demon has also noticed the reasonable deployment of personnel."

Moreover, according to the doctrine of God worship, the Tatars who belong to the demons are excluded from salvation, and Xiang Rong and Qi Shan are approaching in the near future, so the Eight Banners will inevitably fight to the death, if there is no shortage of food, grass and ammunition in the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture in a short time. ”

In fact, Wang Feng still didn't say anything, he felt that the scene of the siege was a little chaotic, and there was no close cooperation between the various departments, such as Shi Dakai's department, Lin Fengxiang and other departments, in short, the efficiency was low, and the manpower advantage was not fully utilized, but the commander-in-chief of the battle was Yang Xiuqing, he was afraid that pointing out would refute Yang Xiuqing's face, so he endured it and didn't say it, but even so, Yang Xiuqing's brows also frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Wang Feng's answer, after all, loyalty is against the ear.

"Humph!" Yang Shuijiao then snorted coldly: "Wang Feng, you only surrendered yesterday, it is inevitable that you don't understand a lot of situations, our army from Wuchang to the east, on the fifteenth of last month, the navy broke the Qing army in the Mouse Gorge, occupied Jiujiang on the 18th, Ke'anqing on the 24th, and beheaded Jiang Wenqing, the governor of Anhui, until the 7th of this month, our army has occupied most of Anhui, on the 8th, the main force arrived at Shanqiao in the southwest of Jiangning, and completed the encirclement of Jiangning on the 12th.

What's more, the Qing demon Jiangning General Xianghou, the deputy commander Huo Longwu and the admiral Fuzhu Hong'a, these three are all hereditary replacements, and have never led the army to fight, if you say that the cockfighting lackey, the bird cage, no one in our army can compare, but the leader of the army, hehe~~"

Yang Shuijiao smiled contemptuously.

Wang Feng also smiled: "May the girl Chengshui Jiao be auspicious." ”

Yang Shuijiao didn't feel good in her heart no matter how she heard it, and she couldn't help but glared at her fiercely, Wang Feng didn't see it, and set his eyes on the city.

Gradually, the time was close to noon, although the Taiping army was offensive, but it was never able to capture the city, the ladder was often destroyed without leaning on it, and the fortification of the Ming Nanjing City was famous all over the world, and the sparse cannonballs hit it, and could not cause a devastating blow, and the war temporarily fell into a stalemate.

Looking at the large number of casualties of his own soldiers, although Yang Xiuqing was calm on the surface, Yang Shuijiao was not calm, and couldn't help but say: "Wang Feng, you really said it, since you can predict the battle situation in advance, then you must have a countermeasure, right?" ”

"Oh?" Yang Xiuqing also turned his head and said, "Wang Feng, if you have a good strategy, just say it directly, this king will reward him for his meritorious deeds!" ”

In fact, Wang Feng really wanted to tell Yang Xiuqing that this battle was commanded by himself, but through Guò's previous advances, he could basically determine that Yang Xiuqing had no room for others, and he commanded the battle by himself, and if he lost, he would definitely be killed, and if he won, that was to steal Yang Xiuqing's limelight, and there would not necessarily be good fruit to eat, Yang Xiuqing was likely to blame himself for why he didn't speak earlier, so that the Taiping soldiers gave their lives in vain!

After all, Yang Xiuqing is not a comrade-in-arms, Wang Feng can hand over his back to his comrades-in-arms at any time, but he understands that he must not let Yang Xiuqing, or even anyone in the Taiping Army, hold his handle!

The Taiping Army doesn't need evidence to kill people at all, saying that you are a Qing demon spy, you are a Qing demon spy, saying that you have bad intentions, you are scheming!
