Chapter 470
Obviously, Zhang Xianzhong didn't mean to blame him for killing his brother at this time.

It seems that from his words, since Zhang Nengqi was captured alive by the imperial army, he deserved to die!Rather than surrendering to the imperial court and army as a traitor in the end, Zhang Kewang might as well kill him right now!

Probably stimulated by Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu!
Zhang Kewang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his words.

But who knows, Zhang Xianzhong then sternly shouted: "You are also incompetent, don't you know that fighting is based on one breath? Not only did you not take advantage of the trend to break through Liu Liangzuo's barracks, but you stopped and waited for me, don't you know how to fight?"

"My child is guilty!" Zhang Kewang immediately admitted his mistake.

He knew that it was the most irrational thing to talk back to Zhang Xianzhong.

In fact, he actually admitted that Zhang Xianzhong was right.

If Zhang Nengqi and the others hadn't hesitated to stop the cavalry at that time, the officers and soldiers in the camp had more chances to prepare, and it might not be possible to attack.

After all, this was the first time I saw my own people being used as a shield by the enemy, so I didn't make the decision to kill immediately. In the future, I still need to pay attention to this aspect.

He was thinking, but Zhang Xianzhong ignored him, and immediately observed the situation in Liu Liangzuo's camp.

The military adviser Xu Yixian hadn't spoken until now, but when he saw Zhang Xianzhong observing the enemy's situation, he said to Zhang Xianzhong: "The nearest reinforcements from the imperial army are from Huang Degong's troops. Normally, it would take at least a day to arrive. According to the previous According to the news, Huang Degong will definitely not be so active, and a delay of two days is the most likely thing. Therefore, it is estimated that we will have two days here, one day to lay down Liu Liangzuo's barracks, and one day to cross the river."

Zhang Xianzhong listened, nodded and said: "Damn it, immediately organize an attack for me!"

..............................

They didn't know that Huang Degong's dissatisfaction with Ma Shiying was actually performed under Ma Shiying's order.It's just that before that, he didn't know the purpose of those Nanjing nobles to provoke the relationship between him, Ma Shiying and Li Dingguo.

However, when Huang Degong received Liu Liangzuo's urgent request for help, he immediately came to his senses.

Because in this case, logically speaking, it is reasonable for him to work without exerting any effort and slow down the speed of rescue.

In this way, it is easy for Zhang Xianzhong's troops to break through Ma Shiying's defense line. If they settle the score afterwards, Huang Degong may be punished, but it will definitely not be severe, because he did not break out from his defense line.

However, Liu Liangzuo's guilt is not small, and Ma Shiying, as the commander in chief, must also be held accountable.After all, this meant that all the previous efforts were in vain. Not only was the newly settled environment in the north destroyed, but a lot of manpower and material resources were also spent to re-siege Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

Thinking of this, Huang Degong sneered and said, "That group of pigs also underestimated me, Huang Degong!"

Afterwards, he immediately ordered that, in addition to the necessary remaining infantry, he personally led the two infantry and cavalry armies, with a total of 5000 troops, rushing to the rescue.

As far as the size of the army is concerned, Huang Degong's army under Ma Shiying has the largest number, reaching about [-].

The main reason, of course, is that Huang Degong was born in the Yongwei Battalion and was deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, so it is reasonable that he has a large number of troops.

Similar to him, Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji's armies are similar to his, and they are the most powerful among the many generals.

At this time, Huang Degong knew that Zhang Xianzhong's main force had already been dispatched, so he brought out more than half of his troops.

………………

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xianzhong stared at Liu Liangzuo's barracks with red eyes, his face unusually gloomy.

The reason for his red eyes was not only because he stayed up all night without sleep, but also because he did not expect that his old opponent Liu Liangzuo would be extremely tenacious this time, and he would stick to the camp and never retreat.

According to what he knew about Liu Liangzuo, if he had changed from before, under his desperate attack, Liu Liangzuo would definitely not be able to resist and would run away.

However, looking at so many corpses in front of the two armies, even a corner of the barracks was captured, but Liu Liangzuo's troops were still firmly guarding here.

This Liu Liangzuo really took the wrong medicine. When did he become so devoted to serve the country?
There is another one, which he did not expect, that Liu Liangzuo's barracks actually pulled strips of iron wires, especially the attack at night, which caught Zhang Xianzhong's men off guard, and was duped by Liu Liangzuo's men. live target.

If it weren't for these never-before-seen wires being pulled over there one after another, the result would have been even greater.

Another point is that during the battle, Zhang Xianzhong discovered that although Liu Liangzuo's troops were much smaller, they were much more elite.This is not only reflected in the quality of the soldiers, but also the armor and weapons are much better than before, which makes Zhang Xianzhong salivate.

If he could defeat Liu Liangzuo's troops and seize their armor and weapons, his combat power would be improved a lot at once, at least against Li Zicheng, he would not be in vain any more.

But to be honest, the most urgent task right now is to defeat Liu Liangzuo.

Thanks to those Nanjing nobles who dragged the court officials back and alienated Huang Degong, there is at least one more day to beat Liu Liangzuo here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong ordered his subordinates to take turns to attack with red eyes.

The thundering war drum once again reverberated in the sky above this place in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Blah blah blah..."

"Kill..."

Liu Liangzuo in the barracks said he was holding the barracks, but his expression was not good.

It's not that his men suffered heavy casualties, at least compared to the rogues outside the camp, the casualties were much less.Moreover, most of them were injured, and those who died in battle or seriously injured accounted for less than one layer of the casualties. This was of course due to the excellent armor of his men.

However, Zhang Xianzhong's gangsters did not retreat. The gunpowder and other materials in the barracks were very expensive, and they lasted until noon at most, and it was estimated that they would be exhausted.

Without the advantage of firearms, it will be difficult to stick to it.Not to mention the sharp increase in casualties, whether it can hold here is also a problem.

In the past, Liu Liangzuo would have run away long ago, and the idiot would fight the thief to death, exhausting all his strength.

But this time, every time Liu Liangzuo thought about it, Zuo Liangyu's head, the yellow head, came to his mind. What happens to people!
So Liu Liangzuo gritted his teeth and continued to hold on.

………………

Ying Tianfu, in Nanjing City, the imperial envoy Xingyuan, Ma Shiying's side, has received a report from Kuai Ma, saying that Liu Liangzuo's troops were attacked by the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

Earlier, he had already received requests for help from various places, saying that the bandits under Zhang Xianzhong were attacking them frantically, and they all said that they were the main force, and asked the governor to send troops for reinforcements.

In this regard, according to the factory guard's informant, the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's troops is secretly gathering, and it is estimated that there will be some action.

However, no matter what, the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's troops doesn't know how to avatar, so maybe every place is attacked by the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's troops?
Among them, there must be something strange!
Ma Shiying ordered all the troops under his command to be alert, and at the same time dispatched Yeburei, and also entrusted Jinyiwei Commander Li Ruolian and Dongchang Admiral Wang Dehua to send factory guards to verify the real movements of Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

It wasn't until he received Liu Liangzuo's report that Ma Shiying understood that the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's troops must be on Liu Liangzuo's side.Otherwise, an ordinary army would not be worth Liu Liangzuo asking for help at all.

In other words, the calls for help from other places were either exaggerated or intentional, no matter what they were, they caused him a lot of trouble.

He wrote down this account first.At this time, it is not the time to settle accounts.

Therefore, Ma Shiying hurriedly dispatched troops and generals, the most important thing of which was to mobilize and distribute the food and grass needed by the army.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that his subordinates soon came to report that the food and grass caught fire and were burned.

Upon hearing this, Ma Shiying turned pale with fright, and hurried to check the situation.

When I arrived at the scene, I found that although the subordinates were fighting the fire, the fire was so big that even if it could be extinguished, there might not be much food left.But the army is about to be dispatched, and if there is not enough food, it will be fatal if there is no food in the battle.

In this kind of war, who can guarantee that the bandits will be wiped out as soon as the army arrives. If the battle is in a hurry, the food and grass crisis will drag down the entire army!

Seeing Ma Shiying, she panicked a little.

Wang Dehua, who came with him, just saw the fire, and said with a sneer: "Such a big fire is burning at this very moment. If it is not artificial, we should write our family name upside down!"

Hearing this, Ma Shiying couldn't help but come back to his senses immediately, and his face was full of anger.

First, all places reported that Zhang Xianzhong's main force was attacking, and now some people set fire to the army rations at this time.From this, it can be seen that someone wanted him to lose his job!
"Come on, where's the quartermaster?" Ma Shiying immediately ordered to find the person in charge.

However, his subordinates soon came to report that the quartermaster knew that the crime was inevitable and committed suicide in fear of crime!
Ma Shiying was angry and anxious when he heard it. For the first time, he felt that doing things was so difficult!

It is easy to dodge with open swords, but hard to guard against hidden arrows!
If Liu Liangzuo couldn't stand it and was broken out by Zhang Xianzhong's thieves, he would definitely not be a proper official, and he might be punished.

Li Ruolian, commander of Jinyiwei, saw his anxious and worried look, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, Governor, Huang Degong is a famous fierce general, he is used to fighting, and he is close to Liu Liangzuo. What's wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Shiying came back to his senses, and quickly said: "This official is concerned about chaos! That's right, that's right, Mr. Li is right!"

 There are additional changes in the afternoon or evening, please ask for a monthly ticket!
