Suzhou, also known as Gusu or Pingjiang, as a famous Chinese historical and cultural city, Suzhou is an important birthplace of Wu culture, and has the reputation of "paradise on earth".

As an important city in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou Mansion is naturally not comparable to ordinary cities.

Not to mention anything else, the flow of people coming and going alone is not on the same level as Songjiang Mansion, and in comparison, Songjiang Mansion, the so-called land of one mansion, can't help but be a little overshadowed.

The speed of the Kirov airship is not fast, basically about 40 kilometers per hour, but because it flies in the sky, it eliminates obstacles on the ground and winding roads, so it is not inferior to the transporter in speed.

And the Kirov airship has another advantage, that is, the cost of fuel is lower, and the carrying capacity is much stronger than that of the car, and at the same time it is convenient to transport, even if it is woodland, you only need to put a rope down to mobilize soldiers to land safely.

If it is placed in modern warfare, this method is naturally extremely backward, but in the case of a serious shortage of air defense in this era, the transport capacity of the Kirov airship is almost perfect.

Zhang Fan sat on the airship, feeling the cold wind blowing on his cheeks, and his eyes exuded a look of fear.

Since he got on the airship, Zhang Fan's old problem - fear of heights has been committed.

In his previous life, Zhang Fan was very resistant to high-level activities, such as bungee jumping, glass bridges, etc., and he was reluctant to touch even the slightly higher slides of some water parks.

Now that he suddenly got on the airship, after getting farther and farther away from the ground, Zhang Fan could clearly feel that his heartbeat was speeding up, and now he didn't dare to look down at all, for fear of fainting after taking a look.

"Commander, Suzhou Mansion has been found ahead, have you landed?"

Just when Zhang Fan was suffering, Davari's voice suddenly came.

At this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly discovered that electronic sound could also be so pleasant.

"Land, land!"

Zhang Fan stood up tremblingly, but before he could take two steps, he collapsed on the ground.

Today's Kirov airship is only about 300 meters away from the ground, but even so, Zhang Fan still feels dizzy, if you really want to follow the altitude limit of the Kirov airship, thousands of meters is actually not a problem.

"I won't take an airship to death in the future, I swear!"

Zhang Fan really misses the days of the transport truck at this time, he really can't sit on the tank, although it is a little bumpy, but it is better than being scared.

Under the command of Zhang Fan, the Kirov airship finally slowly descended at a distance of about ten miles from Suzhou Mansion, and after landing, Zhang Fan also took out a telescope for the first time to take a look at the situation in Suzhou Mansion.

Sure enough, at this moment, the city gate of Suzhou Mansion was already closed, and the city walls were full of soldiers wearing armor.

"That's all the artifacts of the thieves?"

At this time, a middle-aged man on the city wall wearing an official uniform and a flower feather looked at the Kirov airship slowly descending not far away with a serious face.

"My lord, I think this should be it, many people have seen it before."

The soldiers defending the city also had a look of surprise and shock in their tones.

Many people who learned of the fall of Songjiang Mansion fled to Suzhou Mansion before, and some of them were people who bypassed Songjiang Mansion and came here, and this news naturally came from their mouths.

However, at first, they didn't take it to heart, after all, the people like to exaggerate these days, and they are eager to describe some rare things as if they were immortal treasures.

But now, when they see it with their own eyes, they realize how superficial their former selves really were.

The most terrifying thing about the legend is not the content of the story, but that the legend is true!

"My lord, we..."

At this time, many soldiers on the city wall began to show fear, and some even trembled with fright.

"Cheer up the officer, you are soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, how can you be afraid of a strong enemy?"

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly shouted.

But obviously, his trick is useless, and in the face of unknown existence, people will always be crazy to make up for their horror.

The middle-aged man looked at the trembling soldiers in front of him, and a look of hatred for iron and steel immediately appeared in his eyes.

The man's name was Tong Hua, the current prefect of Suzhou, and he was surprised when he heard the news of the fall of Songjiang Mansion.

It's not that he hasn't seen anti-thieves or something, but in the past, those anti-thieves were only able to occupy a few county towns at most, and it was impossible to get involved in a confidential place like the state capital.

But now, this gang of thieves who suddenly appeared not only took Songjiang Mansion, but now they are even more bold to hit his Suzhou Mansion.

Fortunately, Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, had warned him before, so he was able to close the city gate as soon as he found that the situation was wrong and arrange for the defense army to guard it.

But if that's just the case, Tong Hua doesn't have to worry so much, what he cares about most now is what Yin Jishan said about the counterinsurgency army.

As early as five days ago, Wei Jingguo, the governor of Jiangnan, transferred 20,000 elite soldiers from Changzhou Zhenzhou to Songjiang Mansion, according to normal circumstances, with Wei Jingguo's experience in leading troops and the number of 20,000 soldiers, it should not be a problem to take down a group of rebels.

But the strange thing is that after Wei Jingguo led the army to Songjiang Mansion, there was no news at all.

Until two days ago, Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, sent a group of people to inquire about the news, and the result was that they actually found the tent stationed at that time in a woodland more than ten miles outside Songjiang Mansion.

But what made people most frightened was that there was no figure in the tent at that time, and the armor and weapons were scattered all over the place, and at the same time, a lot of clothes could be seen, and the whole camp was in a mess, but there was no one to be found, not only the living could not be seen, but even the dead were not seen!

After learning the news, the entire Jiangnan Province exploded in an instant.

Many people speculated whether Wei Jingguo might have defected to the enemy, but after some research, they rejected this idea.

First of all, the spies in Songjiang Mansion did not find a large number of soldiers stationed in the city, and the second was that Wei Jingguo had no reason to betray.

You must know that his family is still in the hands of the imperial court, if he defects to the enemy, then his whole family will have to be implicated.

Wei Jingguo has been in the army for decades, and he is a veteran who came from the Kangxi Dynasty, although his political sense of smell is not very sensitive, but the most basic judgment of the situation is still possible, and there should be no reason to oppose in the face of such a scarce number of anti-thieves.

And if the other side really surrendered, then how to explain those armor, weapons and clothes?

Could it be that if you surrender, you have to change your weapons to new ones?

Are you kidding!
