Yu Chenglong said to Daniel Zhang and the other generals in front of him: "In Yu Chenglong, the prefect of the Lower Huangzhou Prefecture, I have seen all the generals of the Zhou family's army. ”

Daniel Zhang saw that this prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture was so polite, so he jumped off his horse and said: "Yu Zhifu is polite, I bother you to come all the way to meet us." ”

"It is our honor that Zhou Jiajun can come to my Huangzhou Mansion, and all the soldiers are invited to come into the city and station." Yu Chenglong said with a smile.

"Since the prefect Yu is so polite, then we will be disrespectful." Daniel Zhang arched his hand.

Daniel Zhang originally planned to set up camp outside the city, but hearing Yu Chenglong's words, Daniel Zhang thought that the soldiers of the Zhou family army had been marching for twenty consecutive days, and they should relax and rest.

So he ordered: "The whole army goes to the city to rest!"

After receiving Daniel Zhang's order, the Zhou family army began to walk towards the gate of Huangzhou in an orderly manner.

At this time, Yu Chengchan opened his mouth and said: "I don't know how many generals have their names, and several generals must have worked hard to come all the way, so let's rest in my Huangzhou Mansion for a few days." ”

"Yu Zhifu is polite, I call Daniel Zhang to take the post of commander-in-chief temporarily, these are Commander Xiang Shaoyun, Commander Liu Hu, and the remaining these are division commanders, then we will disturb Yu Zhifu, we will rest for one night, and tomorrow we will go to Jiujiang City to encircle and suppress Zuo Liangyu." Daniel Zhang introduced.

"General Zhang and the others, please go to the yamen to rest and drink some tea." Yu Jackie Chan invited.

"No need, let our Zhou Jiajun set up camp in the city and thank the prefect Yu very much, why are you embarrassed to trouble the prefect." Daniel Zhang refused.

Seeing that Daniel Zhang and the others refused to go to Yamen to drink tea, Yu Chenglong showed a trace of disappointment.

I had no choice but to speak: "Okay, if General Zhang needs anything, just ask, I will definitely help." ”

"Well, if there is any need at that time, I will definitely come to trouble the prefect." Daniel Zhang said politely.

After Daniel Zhang finished speaking, he hugged Yu Chengchan and rode towards the Zhou family's army.

Yu Chenglong immediately hugged Daniel Zhang, looking at the back of Daniel Zhang and the others leaving, a sneer appeared at the corner of Yu Chenglong's mouth.

Daniel Zhang set up the Zhou family army near the city wall, and by the time the Zhou family army was settled, it was already dark.

Daniel Zhang and Xiang Shaoyun and other officers above the division commander were discussing the plan for tomorrow's attack on Jiujiang City in a big tent.

"This time, we still use the method of the last night attack on Xiangyang City, which can minimize the casualties of our Zhou family soldiers to the greatest extent." Daniel Zhang said

"Although a night attack is a good method, but this time there are no soldiers and horses to help us attract Zuo Liangyu's attention, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter Jiujiang City unnoticed." Xiang Shaoyun said.

Liu Hu also agreed with Xiang Shaoyun's words, and said: "I also think that what Commander Xiang said is right, our whereabouts may have been detected by Zuo Liangyu, and he will definitely arrange troops and horses around Jiujiang to defend." ”

"You're right, I'm afraid we can't take advantage of it this time, it looks like there's a tough battle to fight tomorrow." Daniel Zhang sighed.

At this time, Zhang Qingyun suddenly spoke: "Commander, I will report a situation. ”

"What's the situation? Let's talk about it. Daniel Zhang asked with some surprise.

"I think there seems to be something wrong with that Yu Governor's Mansion, I have been observing him, and I found that after the commander refused him to go to the yamen, he actually showed a look of disappointment." Zhang Qingyun said.

"Is there anything wrong with him being disappointed?" Daniel Zhang asked suspiciously.

"It stands to reason that the prefect generally won't let other troops enter the city to rest, but he especially wants us to enter the city and station, which is very suspicious, plus his disappointed look after being rejected by the commander, and this place is so close to Jiujiang, it is impossible for people without Zuo Liangyu here, I'm afraid this is already Zuo Liangyu's territory!" Zhang Qingyun analyzed.

When everyone heard Zhang Qingyun's last sentence, they were immediately startled.

Then everyone became nervous, and there was a real possibility.

Daniel Zhang immediately became serious, not afraid of 10,000, afraid of what happens, if this Yu Zhifu really defected to Zuo Liangyu, then the Zhou family army would be in danger.

"Zhou Jiajun is all on alert tonight, ready for battle at any time, prepare the two generators and carbon arc lights we brought from Xingjing, turn on the lights once they encounter a situation, and line up another regiment of soldiers to the city tower." Daniel Zhang ordered the arrangement.

After everyone got the order, they hurriedly walked out of the big tent and went back to make arrangements.

Xingjing has already manufactured more than ten generators, this time, Zhou Xian asked Daniel Zhang to bring two small generators for emergency use, to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks at night, and tonight may really be used.

The gates of Huangzhou City were closed as soon as it was dark, and the people were also asked to return to their homes and not go out.

At night, there was no one in the streets, and it was very quiet, except for the occasional barking of dogs.

At this moment, the west gate of Huangzhou City was suddenly opened, and by the faint light of the fire, you can see that the person who took the lead in opening the city gate turned out to be Yu Jackie Chan

The dense crowd that walked in from outside the city gate, and the first person was Wu Yaoyun.

Wu Yaoyun was one of the most courageous generals under Zuo Liangyu.

This time, he was ordered by Zuo Liangyu to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Zhou army at night.

Zuo Liangyu's intelligence work is still very good, and there are people in the court, so he has already got the news when Chongzhen ordered the Zhou family army to exterminate him.

When he first got the news, Zuo Liangyu was shocked, you must know that the combat power of the Zhou family army can be said to be the strongest combat power in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The Zhou army defeated 70,000 soldiers and horses of the Qing army in Jinan City when the Qing army entered the customs, and later defeated Li Zicheng's 300,000 troops in Xiangyang City, which can be said to be an unprecedented record.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't sleep well after getting the news, and finally came up with a plan to sneak attack the Zhou family army under the discussion of the generals.

The Zhou army fought head-on, but a sneak attack on them should be able to defeat the Zhou army.

So he arranged the scene where Yu Chenglong, the prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture, invited the Zhou family army into the city, and Zuo Liangyu originally wanted Yu Chenglong to bring the generals of the Zhou family army to Yamen to use poison, but he did not expect to be rejected by Daniel Zhang.

Now I have to let Wu Yaoyun lead the troops into the city to attack the Zhou family's army.

When Yu Chenglong saw Wu Yaoyun coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Wu, how many soldiers and horses have you brought this time, you have to be careful, these Zhou family troops are very vigilant." ”

"I brought 100,000 troops, let alone attack them, even if I fight them head-on, I can wipe them out." Wu Yaoyun said with a grin.

"General Wu can't be careless, these Zhou family troops are very powerful." Yu Chengchan reminded.

"Okay, Lao Tzu knows in his heart, just tell me the location of the Zhou family's army camp, you don't have to worry about the rest, you better go back to your yamen and be your prefect." Wu Yaoyun said impatiently.

Yu Chenglong's face turned pale when he heard Wu Yaoyun's words, and he didn't say anything more, and directly told Wu Yaoyun the location where the Zhou family army was stationed.
