At the beginning of September of the 11th year of Changzhi, Yu Jingning divided his troops into three routes and went south to Suzhou and Jiaxing.

Suzhou is not much away from Nanjing Shuntianfu, but after a day's walk, Yu Jingning led a group of people to ambush five miles outside Suzhou.

Since Gu Chengche Si was not there, Che San, who was originally a scout team, temporarily took the position of deputy general Yu Jingning, and now he is lying on Yu Jingning's side.

Che San let the spies out, but somehow, he was a little anxious: "This group of little cubs, why haven't they come back." ”

Yu Jingning also figured out in these few days of getting along, Che San was a little nervous when facing his new master, even when he was a child, he still couldn't pull himself up by the neck at every turn.

Yu Jingning patted his hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, at this moment, you can't delay the military plane." ”

When Che San heard this, he obviously relaxed: "I'm just afraid that those children will be lazy......" He didn't say a word yet, and he was afraid that something would happen to the little scout under him, so he was worried and anxious.

Yu Jingning glanced at the sky: "It's okay, you are the one who used the old man of the father, I don't worry." ”

When Che San heard the words "I rest assured", he breathed a sigh of relief again, and almost showed loyalty to Yu Jingning at this time, but thinking about this kind of time, it is not good to talk at length, so the words became a different look when they came to his mouth: "I'm still afraid that the prince will hold a grudge, when you were a child, I always pulled your neck ......"

"That's it." Yu Jingning pursed her lips helplessly, "If you don't mention it, I'll really forget it, don't mention it again." ”

While talking, the little scouts came back, and whispered to Yu Jingning and Che San: "Lord Wang, General Che, we have already explored around the Suzhou Mansion, and the jack gate is put down, which is similar to the previous defense." Also, Xiao Cen and the others turned around and were almost discovered, but they still couldn't see Gong Laoba in the city, and they didn't see Lao Jiang. ”

"Why did you almost find out, why don't you know how to be careful?" Che Sanyi frowned, and reprimanded the child he was carrying.

In fact, he has done a good job, but Che San has a mentality of boasting about his children, and he has to be reprimanded even though he has done a good job.

Yu Jingning didn't care about his careful thoughts, praised the little scout a few words, and let him go down to rest.

Che San looked at the sky, then at Yu Jingning, and asked, "Lord Wang, will you do this?" ”

Yu Jingning also raised his head with this sentence, and when he saw the half-curved moon hanging high in the air, he knew that it was still early, so he continued to say to Che San: "It's still early, wait a little longer, and wait until the second half of the night to move." ”

Under normal circumstances, they do not dare to change their guards at night, and many soldiers in the guard station do not know what is missing from their food, and they often have symptoms of not being able to see clearly at night. Changing the guard at this time will undoubtedly increase the danger, because this group of people is in time to change before the sun completely sets.

So by the second half of the night, the group was already exhausted.

Yu Jingning's group of people lay in the grass nest and waited quietly.

Suzhou is also a big city, although it is not as good as Nanjing, but it is also a city with eight gates, of which there are several adjacent waters. Yu Jingning and the others did not bring the navy over, nor did they plan to bring the navy over, so they naturally attacked from land.

After a while, suddenly some dark clouds came from the sky, obscuring the crescent moon in the sky. Yu Jingning raised his eyes to look at the sky again, and turned his head to glance at Che San.

Che San was clever, and immediately understood what Yu Jingning meant, stood up, and shouted at the archers and crossbowmen in front of him: "Release!" ”

Those few archers and crossbowmen stood in a clever place, and they happened to be able to aim at the turret, these were all cavalry archers of the Northwest Army at the beginning, and their kung fu was natural, but now they are standing and archery, so how can there be a reason for shooting inaccurately.

The archers swished out a few arrows, and half of the gunners in the turret began to hisse and bleed outward.

At this time, the people under the city of Suzhou began to fire cannons and bombarded the city of Suzhou.

Only a few gunners had died in this city, and before the companions around them could react, the people had already died. When the artillery from below came up, the artillery in Suzhou City didn't have time to fire at all.

The sound of the cannon was so loud that you didn't have to go up to the drum tower to beat the drum to understand that there was an enemy attack, and the soldiers defending the city didn't know what was happening in the turret, so they just shot arrows downward.

But where is the range of this arrow comparable to artillery fire, these arrows can only shoot to the position where the archers of the Northwest Army are standing, but the group of archers has long since retreated, where can they wait for them to shoot themselves?

Even if these arrows are shot at the cannon, it is cold iron against cold iron, and only the arrow breaks first.

At this time, the people in the city sensed that something was wrong.

Gong Laoba was injured, his qi and blood were deficient, and he couldn't stay up all night, so he went to bed early, and it was Lao Jiang who supervised the battle above the city tower.

As soon as Lao Jiang saw that the situation on the other side of the turret was wrong, he hurriedly sent someone to ask: "What's going on with this cannon, I just hear the sound of the cannon below, why don't you see our cannon?" Go and get the artillery of the Shenji Battalion and ask him what's going on? ”

The little soldier ran to the turret on the spot, but he didn't expect to meet a soldier covered in blood on the road, and when he caught him, he shouted: "Is it General Jiang's side?" I know you! ”

"What's wrong?" The little soldier was caught with a sleeve of blood, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.

The little soldier with a bloody face gasped twice and grabbed his sleeve tighter: "Hurry up and tell General Jiang that three of the four firearms guarding the turret have died tonight, and the remaining one is still injured in the right arm, and this son is being carried down!" Tell General Chiang to hurry up and bring the previous group up, or else ......"

He said, "Otherwise, tonight's firearms will not work." Before he could say anything, the soldiers beside Lao Jiang turned their heads and ran, leaving the little soldier to shout at him.

The soldiers beside Lao Jiang ran back on the spot, and when Lao Jiang saw him coming back, he immediately frowned and asked, "What's the matter!" Didn't you ask you to rush? Why haven't you heard the cannon yet? ”

As soon as these words fell, I felt that the ground was shaking, and the red-coated cannon of the Northwest Army fired a cannon.

The little soldier didn't care so much, and hurriedly covered Lao Jiang and lay down, his ears buzzing.

He even felt that he had lost consciousness, and when he came to his senses again, he was picked up by Lao Jiang and shouted his name.

The little soldier came to his senses, his ears seemed to be injured, and he yelled at the old Jiang in a deafening voice: "General Jiang! The guns on the turret are useless! ”
