Cheng Xueqi hurriedly admitted his mistake, "The last general should die, please punish the teacher!" ”

It seems that the division commander also attaches great importance to this group of enemy troops, and even brought 8,000 men and horses over, this time there is no need to die!

Sure enough, Lin Qirong scolded with a smile: "Okay, you two don't pretend, even if you fight crookedly this time, I just received information that it is the famous Jiang Zhongyuan who is fighting with you, and His Royal Highness the King of Han hates him to the core, and he wants to attack and kill him more than once in Hunan!" I didn't expect him to go to Jiangxi! It's really a narrow road. ”

Cheng Xueqi was surprised and delighted. "His Royal Highness the King of Han has also suffered in the hands of this guy! Then didn't I avenge Your Highness this time? Hearing the King of Han that he admired, Cheng Xueqi was excited, and felt that he was much closer to His Royal Highness the King of Han.

"What nonsense are you bastard! I, Lin Qirong, have never seen the King of Han fight and suffer losses, His Royal Highness the King of Han hates Jiang Zhongyuan, because of the Battle of Lingyidu last year, Jiang Zhongyuan killed Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, you don't know that the King of Han and Feng Yunshan can be said to be teachers and friends, Yong'an is the king, His Royal Highness once said in private, among the kings, I serve Yunshan alone, and the rest of the princes are not worried. ”

Lin Qirong saw that the generals in the room were all attentive, and he became proud for some reason, and what he said became more and more moving, "This Jiang Zhongyuan is not easy to kill, but he killed Feng Yunshan!" When the King of Han learned that he had died in Hunan, he immediately swore angrily and poisonously, saying that he would kill Jiang Zhongyuan in this life! Hey, I didn't expect this guy to send it to the door by himself! ”

Speaking of which, Li Qirong seems to have decided something:

"I command! Except for the first regiment and the militia who stayed in Jiujiang, the rest of the division, including the water battalion, pursued Jiang Zhongyuan! ”

Wang Lei, the newly assigned deputy division commander, persuaded: "Division commander, this is not suitable for attacking without Nanjing's order!" ”

Li Qirong glared angrily: "Presumptuous! I'm the division commander, so do it! If Nanjing is to blame, I will bear it! ”

Guo Songtao, Luo Zenan and others led more than 4,500 people to Jiangxi, this is an untrained army, only with a force of nearly 1,000 miles from their hometown to Jiangxi to help the war, but after arriving in Jiangxi, the grim reality they faced made them exhausted.

Guo Songtao looked at the villages that had fled and complained: "What's wrong with these people in Jiangxi? Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not come out to greet them, they dared to move grain and livestock into the mountains, which made thousands of us eat something! ”

Everyone felt the same way, since entering Jiangxi, because the villagers have fled and have nowhere to forage for food. They remembered that when they marched in Hunan, they were received by officials and gentry everywhere they went, not to mention that people above their division had wine banquets, singing and dancing, and even ordinary soldiers were served with white rice!

Li Xubin rode around the village on horseback, came back and scolded: "The water in the pot is still warm, there must have been many people boiling water to cook an hour ago, and then they saw us from a distance and hid!" ”

Luo Zenan's stomach was like thunder, because in the past few days, on a whim, he wants to learn from the ancient famous generals and soldiers to share weal and woe: only eat one porridge a day, and eat as he goes. Not only was he faint from hunger, but all the soldiers were weak, and they often sat together in twos and twos complaining that they had no food to eat.

"We are now in Anfu County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, 300 miles away from Nanchang City, and at the current marching speed, we will have to walk for 4 days! What I'm worried about is that even if we get to Nanchang, we won't have the strength to fight, but we will make the people of Jiangxi laugh at us! ”

Guo Songtao also thought that he could not continue to march like this, and agreed: "Brother Zhongyue is right! The soldiers all have vegetables, nowhere to forage, only dig sweet potatoes by their own hands to satisfy hunger, there is already resentment, if they are forcibly ordered to fight with the short hair, I am afraid that there is a fear of mutiny, it is better for us to find a rich place to rest for a day, collect grain and grass and then rush to Nanchang! ”

And Zhu Sunyi regretted it a little at this time, secretly blaming himself for being enthusiastic at the time, and the county lord who was so good was not right, and ran to this ghost place where chickens don't and birds don't lay eggs to suffer! Is it so easy to extinguish the anti-thieves and make meritorious contributions? It's better to enjoy the happiness of a beautiful wife and concubine at home.

Thinking of his new concubine, Zhu Sunyi's heart was hot, and he said bewildermently: "Why don't we return to Hunan first, and then go to Nanchang to meet Pushan after we are ready?" ”

I thought: When I arrived in Hunan, I immediately returned to the county and never came out to fight and suffer again!

Li Xubin was young and vigorous, thinking that if he returned to Hunan like this, he couldn't help but be ridiculed, and immediately refused, "The eldest husband needs to be persistent and swear not to give up until he achieves his goal, how can he retreat because of a little difficulty, besides, Brother Pushan is still waiting for us to meet, if he rashly misses the deadline, won't he lose his trust in others!" ”

Zhu Sunyi also thought that Jiang Zhongyuan was now the governor of Jiangxi, and it was not for him, a sesame mung bean official, to be offended, so he put down his mind to return to Hunan, and suggested: "Anfu County belongs to Ji'an Prefecture, why don't we lead the army to Ji'an, this Ji'an County was called Luling in ancient times, and all dynasties have been state and government stations, and it is extremely rich!" In the name of Pushan, we ask local officials to collect grain and grass, and we will be able to stick to Nanchang! ”

Guo Songtao said happily: "As long as we work together, there is no insurmountable difficulty. Great! ”

Liu Rong saw that everyone was excited, and she also offered suggestions.

"When we get to Ji'an, we can change to a waterway, and the Gan River flows through Ji'an to Nanchang, which can reduce the fatigue of the soldiers and recharge their energy."

……

Under the city of Nanchang

Seeing the siege troops retreat like a tide again, Jiao Liang looked at He Lu who had retreated from defeat angrily, and scolded: "Bastard! If you hold on a little longer, you will be able to storm the city wall, and why do you want to come down! ”

He Lu's expression was ugly, and he whispered: "The Qing Demon guarding the city has cannons, but we don't!" There are only a few openings in the city wall that the demolition team has blown up, and thousands of demons are guarding there! The brothers suffered heavy casualties......"

Listening to him say some depressing words, it seemed that Nanchang City was unbreakable, Jiao Liang was irritable, and he became more and more angry! stepped forward and slapped him in the face, and continued to scold: "You can't fight without artillery!" Most of our Han army used to attack the city by blasting the city wall and then breaking the city, you are a fool when you are a demon, and you can't think of a countermeasure. Let me tell you He Lu, our Third Army represents the Heaven and Earth Society, don't embarrass this gold-lettered signboard! If we can't capture Nanchang, what will others think of us, I'll tell you! They will say that our third army will not fight without the king of Han! The brothers of the Third Army will never be able to hold their heads up! ”

He Lu was forced to be helpless, and said loudly: "Please rest assured!" Let the soldiers rest for the night first, and I will personally lead the death squad to attack the city early tomorrow morning! I will die on the wall! ”

……

The sky was full of stars, and a team was moving quickly towards the south, as if there was some flood beast behind it, and they did not dare to delay for a moment, and there were many wounded behind the team, all of whom were lying on the poorly made stretchers and groaning.

Liu Changyou looked at Nanchang City, which was shrouded in night in front of him, and said to Jiang Zhongyuan: "My lord, there is Nanchang City in front, and there is an army stationed five miles away from the city, thank God!" It seems that Nanchang has not yet fallen. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan carefully observed the battlefield by the starlight, and said happily: "If you look at the number of enemy camps, you can estimate that the siege of the city is only six or seven thousand people, but they have no worries about setting up the camp five miles under the city, it seems that the short hair is not afraid of the defenders in the city!" This shows that Nanchang City is already in danger and can be broken at any time! ”

Wu Enze admired: "Your Excellency is wise, just by looking at the enemy's barracks, you can sum up so much!" Did we take the opportunity to enter the enemy camp and relieve the siege of Nanchang? ”

"Although the enemy is bold, he is not stupid, the short-haired patrols are all fire commanders, and they change their guards in a quarter of an hour, and I am afraid they are also ready to be attacked! We can't take advantage of this sneak attack. Liu Changyou still thinks that entering Nanchang City is important.

Jiang Zhongyuan nodded, took the bow from Jiang Zhongyi's hand, handed him to Liu Changyou and said, "Zimo, you tie the letter to the feather arrow and shoot it to the city tower, so that the defenders in the city can confirm our identity and let us enter the city." ”
