After taking the ferry, the hundreds of warships that had rushed to the middle of the Yangtze River did not hesitate at all.

It was like a sharp arrow, galloping towards the ferry at its fastest speed.

Soon, these warships docked at the ferry and appeared on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

With the help of a ready-made ferry, a battalion of muskets and equipment on each warship, and it took almost no time to board the pier and stand on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

When the Yangtze River defense line on both sides of the ferry was still shrouded in the sound of artillery.

The strength of two divisions of the Fourth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army has successfully landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River and appeared behind the Yangtze River defense line that the imperial court had spent great efforts to build.

Of course, this was only the beginning, and the two divisions of the Fourth Army of the Haw Par Army, which had completed the landing, embarked on their new journey after only a short rest at the ferry.

The two divisions, with battalions and regiments as units, quickly dispersed and blocked the rear of more than 100,000 imperial court new troops, like an impenetrable net, covering all the more than 100,000 imperial court new troops on the Yangtze River defense line.

And at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen, who was about to march to the area of Xiangxi, also encountered big trouble.

Seeing more and more guards around him, the total strength has exceeded 7,000 people. I saw a cart full of all kinds of finances and food behind him, and the number had exceeded two hundred.

Since leaving Nanjing City, Chongzhen's face finally showed a smile for the first time in a few days.

However, this smile did not last long, and it was completely lost by the next thing.

The huge convoy that was slowly moving along the official road of the mountain road had just left the ready-made for less than five miles before it stopped.

Although he is now only three or four hundred miles away from the target, and out of the sight of the Haw Par Army.

However, as long as you don't reach the southwest with high mountains and dense forests for a day, you will be in danger for a day.

So. The sudden stop of the convoy directly made Chongzhen's brows furrow.

Just when Chongzhen wanted to ask his subordinates why they stopped advancing, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly reached Chongzhen's ears.

Then, the sound of horses' hooves, which was getting louder and louder, stopped beside the carriage where he was.

"Your Majesty...... Something went wrong...... The official road ahead was damaged, and the convoy wanted to move on. The official road must be repaired...... According to visual observations, it will take at least three hours for the army to repair the damaged official roads......"

Chongzhen is not a fool, at this time, the official road was destroyed on a large scale, if it was an accident and coincidence, Chongzhen would never believe it.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Chongzhen's good mood for getting a large amount of supplies disappeared completely.

At this time, several ministers happened to come over.

After listening to the general answer in front of me. The military generals who were in charge of all the armies around Chongzhen spoke directly: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that we have been exposed...... The other party's purpose in sabotaging the official road must be to slow down our march......"

Chongzhen nodded, although he didn't give an affirmative answer. However, the expression on his face became more and more gloomy, and he told everyone directly. Chongzhen had already approved the judgment of the generals under his command.

After some contemplation, Emperor Chongzhen's face was gloomy. He asked directly, "Is there any other official road where I can enter the southwest ......?"

To Chongzhen's disappointment, as soon as his voice fell, a prefect who joined the team halfway did not hesitate to deny it......

"Your Majesty, there is only this official road...... As for the rest, it's all mountain roads...... Not to mention the carriage. It's hard for people to walk together, and it's impossible to let the army pass through ......"

Faced with this result, Chongzhen's face became even more gloomy.

Without thinking about it, he ordered: "Then what are you still doing, why don't you immediately organize troops to repair the official road...... Two hours, two hours later. We have to go. Otherwise, the day will go by like this......"

"You must know that since we have exposed our target, someone has deliberately disrupted the official road and slowed us down our entry into the southwest. Then there must be someone chasing us behind us, so we must hurry up and complete the remaining hundreds of miles as soon as possible......"

"Also, immediately check with me to find out who leaked the news that I am here. In addition, I also want to know who destroyed the official road ahead. Now my only enemy is the Haw Par Army, and I don't believe that the power of the Haw Par Army has grown to the Two Lakes region......"

Under Chongzhen's anxious waiting, the Jinyi Guard's commander, who left Nanjing City with Chongzhen, did not leave for long before returning to Chongzhen's side.

Under the gaze of Chongzhen's gloomy gaze, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who sighed for a long time, spoke after only a short period of contemplation.

"Your Majesty, the minister has found out...... It was leaked out by a garrison who just joined us three days ago. Someone gave him five thousand taels of silver, and bought our identity from him......"

"Bastard...... For five thousand taels of silver, I sold it...... Am I only worth this little bit of silver...... Kill him, although I am in trouble, but I am still the emperor. Since he likes silver so much, then I let him have money and have no life to spend it......"

Speaking of this, a sigh full of helplessness came out of Chongzhen's mouth directly.

"I regret very much now, I should not have listened to the instigation of those ministers, and I should not have forgotten the advice of Lord Shousuke...... If we don't touch the state capitals we pass through along the way and secretly head to the southwest, I won't be exposed to the Haw Par Army......"

Facing Emperor Chongzhen, who looked regretful in front of him, as a subordinate, the answer that the commander of the Jinyi Guard could give was silence.

And at this moment, Chongzhen spoke again. Not only that, but the words were full of murder.

"Do you know how the official road ahead was destroyed...... Could it be that there are also many traitors here who betrayed the court and worked for the Haw Par Army...... If I catch them, I'll cut them ...... a thousand times."

Under Chongzhen's murderous gaze, the commander of the Jinyi Guard did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it is not the people of the Tiger and Leopard Army who are destroying the official road, they are just ordinary people around the official road...... Two days ago, someone gave them money to destroy the official road, and they also gave money to repair the official road ten days later......"

Hearing this, Chongzhen had to restrain the murderous aura that was constantly emanating from his body.

These people are not wrong, if Chongzhen really kills them because of this incident, Chongzhen will not only lose the country, but also lose the hearts of the people, and become the king of the country completely.

At that time, even if he successfully escapes to the southwest and loses the support of the people, he will no longer have the possibility of re-rising. Not only that, but in the history books, he will also leave a big scar on himself. (To be continued......)
