The military department Shangshu is right, under the condition that the whole court is concentrating on the Yangtze River defense line, their kind of report without much factual basis will not only not attract the attention of the imperial court, but will also be said by the imperial court to disturb the morale of the army.

Therefore, after the military department Shangshu finished speaking, the subordinates became silent again.

However, this silence did not last long before it was interrupted by the military department's Shangshu.

"In order to obtain evidence that convinces the imperial court, this official decided to continue to send troops, and he must find out the true identity and strength of the enemy outside the city...... Of course, it would be best if we could figure out the specific purpose of this group of enemies......"

Seeing that his subordinates were silent, and a hot expression slowly appeared, the secretary of the military department knew very well what everyone was thinking.

In everyone's opinion, as long as there is no accident, the eight achievements are guerrillas in the provinces south of the Yangtze River...... Even though these guerrillas have wiped out the new army of the imperial court many times, and today they have wiped out the elite of the 1,000 new army out of the city in one fell swoop. However, in the eyes of these veterans, no matter how strong the guerrillas were, they could not compare to the new army they commanded.

Those new armies of the imperial court who were wiped out by the guerrillas must have fallen into some conspiracy of the guerrillas, and only then did they end up with the annihilation of the entire army.

As long as you bring enough troops with you, and be cautious enough when you leave the city. With the strength of the guerrillas, not only can they not help themselves, but they will suffer great losses in their own hands, and even be eliminated by themselves......

In today's new army of the imperial court, as long as there is military merit, he will be added to the knighthood by the imperial court.

And everyone guarding the city of Nanjing, it is impossible to be like those generals on the Yangtze River defense line. There is always a battle to be fought. Military merit can be obtained.

So. When they heard the decision of the military department Shangshu to send troops out of the city, they had been holding back in Nanjing City to get these general soldiers, and they all wanted to win this task, and it seemed that it was very easy to obtain military merit.

Seeing that the military department Shangshu no longer spoke, a general soldier with a hot face directly asked Zhandao: "My lord, this task will be given to the last general...... The last general promised that only 3,000 soldiers would leave the city. You can find out the true identity and strength of the enemy outside the city......"

"The last general will need only two thousand...... If you are lucky, you can also cut off some enemies and return to the city, and ask for merit to the imperial court for your lordship...... "Another general soldier is not willing to lag behind......

Seeing that the rest of his subordinates were still about to speak, the military department Shangshu directly interrupted: "Okay...... You have to think and know what your own officials know...... However, in my official's view, we should be as cautious as possible when we go to the city this time...... After all, this enemy outside the city has the strength to eat a thousand of our elites in a short period of time......"

"So, the official decided...... East Gate, South Gate. Simon...... Send 5,000 elites out of the city, regardless of whether they can meet the enemy or not. After leaving the city and searching along the official road for twenty miles, a retreat must be carried out...... If there is a situation, immediately send the commander back to the city to report to the officer......"

"Remember to your officers that your task is not to destroy this enemy, but to reconnoiter the enemy...... No one can go to ...... for the sake of fighting merit."

All three city gates sent troops out of the city, and 5,000 new army elites in each direction, all of which added up to 15,000 elites......

This is seen by a group of subordinates, and the decision of the military department is definitely a big fuss.

However, none of these subordinates spoke out against it. After all, if there are more troops out of the city, you will be safer and more troops will have to do what you want to do.

As for the warning of the military department in front of him, these veterans didn't take it to heart at all.

In their opinion, just from the aspect of fighting, the current military department Shangshu is definitely not their opponent.

If you really encounter a fighter outside the city, a general who is outside the city can help him push off all the troubles.

In this way, the sky was not completely bright, and the 30,000 new imperial troops who defended the three walls of Nanjing City began to mobilize nervously.

In less than an hour, five thousand well-equipped new troops of the imperial court were opened from the three city gates.

However, what the three commanders of the new army did not expect was that they had just left the city, and the cavalry scouts of the Tiger and Leopard Army who were monitoring these city gates sent the news of their departure from the city to Wang Feng as soon as possible.

Although there were more than a dozen subordinates standing in front of him, Wang Feng, who got the news, laughed loudly because he was excited and regardless of his identity: "Haha...... The imperial court in Nanjing City really looks up to me Wang Feng...... Yesterday I just sent 1,000 elites to the general, and today I sent 15,000 elites to the general, okay, good to come, this time, let's use this 15,000 new army of the imperial court to tell the imperial court, I, Wang Feng, are here, and it's behind them......"

At this time, the chief of staff suddenly spoke: "Commander, according to the information obtained by the internal guards from Nanjing City, the imperial court has stationed a total of 50,000 new troops in Nanjing City...... If we really eat this 15,000 new army of the imperial court, when the time comes, even if we don't attack Nanjing City, Emperor Chongzhen, who is hiding in Nanjing City, will not be able to sleep because he is afraid......"

"So, no matter what way it is, we have to eat this new army of 15,000 people cleanly......"

"That's for sure......" Wang Feng gave a very affirmative answer without thinking about it.

Then, facing more than a dozen pairs of hot eyes that were looking at him at the same time, he ordered with a serious face.

"I order: 1st Division, wipe out the 5,000 new imperial army that came out of the south gate, and choose the battlefield by yourself...... The second division eliminated the 5,000 new troops from the east gate...... The third division eliminated the West Gate and got 5,000 new troops...... The cavalry division, divided into three regiments, was responsible for destroying all the enemies who had escaped from the battlefield and wanted to return to the city of Nanjing after the battle began......"

"This time, our First Army still adheres to the original plan and makes a lot of money in a muffled voice...... Let's see if there is a chance to eat some of the new imperial army that may leave the city after eating these 15,000 new imperial army troops, weaken the defenders in Nanjing as much as possible, and reduce the pressure on the siege battle that we may launch......"

Because all the soldiers of the First Army were equipped with war horses...... Therefore, in less than half an hour, the three musketeers stayed on the road that the new army of the imperial court had to take to choose the battlefield and prepare for battle......

As for the three general soldiers who left the city, from the beginning of leaving the city, they forgot that the secretary of the military department had to explain to them again and again last night.

After all, they have five thousand new army elites in their hands. If it weren't for the First Army, with the strength in their hands, even if they walked sideways across the entire south of the Yangtze River, the scattered Tiger and Leopard Army guerrillas would not be able to help them.

What's more, the Tiger and Leopard Army guerrillas are still being pinned down by the 60,000 new troops in the Jiangnan area, and it is impossible to move the main force here.

Therefore, for them, having 5,000 elites of the new army in their hands is invincible. If there is really an enemy who comes to trouble him, he can take this opportunity to directly eliminate the opponent...... (To be continued......)
