Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Xiaogan is a small city.
If Hanyang and Jingzhou were not surrounded, Xiangyang City was too far away from the front line, and Hong Chengchou would definitely not be stationed here.
At this moment, he was wandering in the inner courtyard of the mansion, scolding in a low voice, "He Tengjiao, it's really a waste."
If Zhai Zhe could hear his words, he would definitely empathize.
It's just that it is also a strange news that a person is scolded by the commanders of both the enemy and us at the same time.
"I can't even control my own soldiers, how can I calculate the thief?"
In the last sentence, the voice was so small that only Hong Chengchou himself could hear it clearly.
A few days ago, he made a breakthrough in his planning in Huguang. After finding out that Zhai Zhe, the general of the Ming court, and Zhai Zhe, the governor of Huguang, were like fire and water, he established contact with He Tengjiao in time.
He was once the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was all too familiar with the political disputes in the Ming court.
"If he can stop the attack on Jingzhou, he is willing to return the Yuezhou Mansion to He Tengjiao." This is the price he gave to He Tengjiao.
He Tengjiao is in dire need of a win, a big win that can save his reputation.
In order to get a victory, He Tengjiao first had to pay a defeat. As long as he can charge Yuezhou Mansion, of course, no one will mention his defeat outside Yuezhou City again.
However, now that He Tengjiao has withdrawn from Yuezhou, the offensive of the loyal battalion is even more fierce.
"If so, isn't my effort in vain?"
If Gu Yinxi recovers Jingzhou, He Tengjiao's feint under the city of Yuezhou will become another piece of evidence for his crimes.
Zhang Kuang's barracks outside Jingzhou City were soft and hard, and there was no way to make Du Yinxi withdraw his troops after all.
The battle situation is no longer controlled by Block Yinxi alone, and after Zhai Zhe has paid so much money and food, his influence on the Loyal Battalion is not much worse than that of Block Yinxi.
In the Jingzhou barracks, Zhang Kuang was very unpopular. He couldn't deliberately curry favor with the gang of thieves in the loyalty camp, and Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others also ignored his existence.
After two days of evasion, Liu Suifeng saw that Zhang Kuang had no intention of going back for the time being, and resumed his previous activity in the barracks.
They were all literati with eyes above the top, and Liu Suifeng's most tragic experience became his wealth. All the units in the loyal battalion like to get along with Liu Suifeng, and if they are not careful, they can be rewarded by the general's envoy.
Liu went to Li Guo's barracks the most, and every time the two of them talked about the days when they crossed the mountains and mountains in Yunyang, Li Guo was melancholy and excited.
King Chuang is dead, and life still has to go on
Almost, just a little bit, he will become the founding hero of Dashun, but now he is still a thief. Sometimes, he would drink too much and think of so many cruel or merciful companions, many of whom were no longer alive.
The young Li Laiheng is the righteous son of Li Guo and the rising star of the loyalty camp.
He didn't have so many memories, and before he was accepted as a righteous son by Li Guo, he had always been a soldier at the forefront of the battle. Those memories, people will only want to forget jì faster.
Once, Li Guo was drunk, and Li Laiheng asked Liu Suifeng for confirmation: "What is the difference between the general and the king of Chuang."
In the past six months, he has been ringing the name of the great general Zhai Zhe in his ears, and he is almost cocooned when he listens to it. Before King Chuang entered the city of Beijing, he was like a god in his mind, and the things that followed were like a nightmare.
Liu Suifeng thought carefully about the wording and said, "The general is a softer king. "A person's character determines the path he is suitable to take, and letting Zhai Zhe take the road of rebellion is probably not as resolute as Li Zicheng.
"You'll have a chance to meet the general," Liu Suifeng smiled mysteriously.
The veterans of the loyal battalion have lost their sharpness under the command of King Chuang, and they have experienced an instant of glory, and Li Guo and others will never forget the fleeting glory like fireworks. Only this Li Laiheng is still full of energy, and the loyalty camp will be this young man's sooner or later.
Li Laiheng responded with a smile: "After capturing Jingzhou? ”
"Maybe"
Zhang Kuang looked down on the Loyalty Battalion, but he was jealous of Liu Suifeng's relationship with the leaders of the Loyalty Battalion.
After staying in the barracks under Jingzhou City for a month, Zhang Kuang basically understood the various situations in the barracks, and knew that he could no longer let Du Yinxi lead his troops back to Changsha, and chose to leave independently.
In the scorching summer, the Ming army braved the fiery sun to besiege Jingzhou City.
Rotting corpses were constantly being thrown out of the city. In this kind of weather, the dead soldiers or civilians will turn into stinky corpses in a day or two. The Qing soldiers did not dare to leave the stinky corpses in the city, for fear of causing the plague.
Wen Linzhu urged twenty naval warships to arrive in Jingzhou, bringing twenty iron cannons.
Plugging Yinxi is also with iron cannons under Jingzhou City, but compared with these twenty iron cannons, it is like a small thing.
The largest iron cannons in the south of the Yangtze River were transported to Huguang.
The gunner commanded the people to build a good position, and after only half a day of bombardment, the east and west gates of Jingzhou City turned into a hornet's nest full of holes. Huge cannons slammed into the fortifications at the head of the city in turn, making Jingzhou a repetition of last year's Hangzhou bombardment.
However, Jingzhou City is not as strong as Hangzhou, and there is no popular heart in the city that matches the military heart.
Liu Suifeng told Zhai Zhe that after more than three months of attack, the city of Jingzhou was not far away. In fact, last year, the loyal battalion was one step away from breaking through Jingzhou City, but the tired sergeants were attacked by the Qing soldiers.
In order to cooperate with the battle in Jingzhou City, Zhai Zhe ordered Zuo Ruo's overseers to drag Luckdehun's mobile soldiers and horses at any cost, and ordered Fang Guoan to cooperate with Li Laiheng in Yuezhou Mansion to prepare to block the Qing soldiers who might rescue Jingzhou.
The war in Huguang has progressed to the most critical stage, and Zhai Zhe is willing to add luster to the green leaves, to the plugging Yinxi and the loyal camp, but some people are unwilling.
July 15, Halloween.
Li Guo once again organized the siege of the city, and he saw with his own eyes that the warriors in the army climbed to the head of the city of Shangjingzhou, fought fiercely for about two quarters of an hour, and died tragically at the head of the city.
The defenders of the city were on the verge of collapse.
Before dark, the Loyal Battalion lit mounted paper at the water's edge to pay tribute to their comrades who had died in battle. Zhang Kuang came belatedly,
Zhang Kuang's farewell and return to Changsha for more than 20 days was the most relaxing time for Plug Yinxi, and he had never hidden anything from He Tengjiao, but Zhang Kuang, who was wandering in the barracks like a ghost, made him smell an unusual smell
It was a feeling that this crooked-necked governor Shi seemed to be watching him instead of He Tengjiao.
As soon as Zhang Kuang arrived in the barracks, he didn't take a break, and immediately understood the battle situation.
The always cautious Gu Yinxi did not conceal the military situation, and rarely boasted about Haikou, saying: "Jingzhou City will be broken in ten days, if there are more soldiers waiting for the head of the city today, it is not impossible to break through Jingzhou City." ”
"Really?" Zhang Kuang smiled very far-fetched and said: "That's really a great credit to Huguang, and he didn't let Zhai Zhe take the lead." ”
"The capture of Jingzhou also has a credit to the general." Plug Yinxi said a truthful word.
Zhang Kuang turned his head and smiled, disapproving, and reminded: "However, when I came, I heard that a large number of Qing soldiers were gathering in Yuezhou Mansion, and the adults must not be careless."
"Really?"
"You can send scouts to investigate"
