It's too late to say anything now, it's better to go back to Nanchang mansion honestly.

Li Shishi and others hurried on, and it took only two days to arrive at a place less than fifty miles away from Nanchang Mansion. Seeing that Nanchang Mansion was close in front of him, Li Shishi was also relieved. On the edge, if you meet the enemy under the city, wouldn't it be a disadvantage to fight.

Therefore, Li Shishi simply found a flat place, let the soldiers get off their horses to rest for a while, and let the tired horses eat some water and grass. If they really hit the enemy after a while, they will have the strength to fight.

Although Li Shishi is just a literati, he still has some small skills. The place he found was an open field. No matter which direction he looked, he could see far away, which invisibly reduced the possibility of being attacked by the enemy.

When I was resting and looking around, my eyes suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a few horses on a high hill far away, and there were people on the horses.

Li Shishi became nervous all of a sudden. After all, this place is not far from Nanchang City, and he may bump into the enemy at any time. Are these people spies of officers and soldiers?

Thinking of this, Li Shishi hurriedly waved his hand over to recruit one of his subordinates, pointed in Gao Gang's direction and whispered a few words, the man nodded, and immediately gathered dozens of people, mounted his horse and galloped towards Gao Gang's direction. go.

Sure enough, Li Shishi was right. It was none other than Wang Shouren who was looking down from Gaogang. It was Wang Shouren, the main general who attacked Nanchang this time. Outside, according to He Jiaan's order, they were going to lay an ambush for the enemy's reinforcements. Today, they finally got the reward from the scouts, so they brought people here to observe the enemy's situation. Unexpectedly, after arriving here for a while, they saw a team The people and horses broke away from the army and galloped towards him.

Wang Shouren smiled slightly: "It seems that the enemy general still has some skills, let him make a move today, let's go and wait for him in front."

Chapter 1517 Cunning Enough

Wang Shouren discovered it early and retreated in time. When Li Shishi's hand arrived at Gaogang, there was no one there except for a mess of horseshoe prints. To Li Shishi's side.

"You mean, there's no one there anymore?" Li Shishi didn't seem to be surprised that no one was there, but what he was worried about was who were these people and why did they appear here?Where did they go again? Could it be that they had already set up an ambush in front of them, just waiting to take the bait themselves.

The subordinates nodded: "My lord, there are no people there, but judging from the traces on the ground, there were indeed many people there just now."

"En." If Li Shishi was just a little skeptical just now, this time he was sure that someone was spying on him just now, and it was very likely that they were those who besieged Nanchang.

"Wang Shouren..." Li Shishi had a fox-like smile on his face, and then murmured: "Let's wait and see, I want to see how capable you really are."

There are many mountains in Jiangxi, and there are several high mountains not far from Nanchang Mansion. Since Wang Shouren explored Li Shishi's reality, he finally felt relieved. Although the time is in a hurry, he can roughly estimate the number of the opponent's army, which is about 5000 Between 5 people, and I have prepared [-] horses, which is twice as many as the opponent.

Coupled with the fact that he has a geographical advantage, there is no reason why he cannot defeat the enemy.

Wang Shouren ambushed the army on the only road leading to Nanchang. Both sides of the road were covered with high mountains and dense forests. As soon as the opponent's army entered the valley, he immediately blocked both ends of the valley with boulders, and then rolled wood and beat stones to smash them. If you go down, you will be able to win a big victory.

According to common sense, Wang Shouren's strategy is indeed meaningless, but the trouble is that this time his enemy did not act according to common sense.

After waiting on the valley for more than an hour, Wang Shouren did not see any trace of the enemy cavalry. He looked at the end of the valley with a suspicious face, but he didn't even see a single figure.

"What's going on?" Wang Shouren's heart began to beat. Could it be that the other party became suspicious after finding out about him, and then stopped coming?

It's not impossible, maybe it's really my mistake, if this is the case, I've made an unforgivable big mistake.

Just when Wang Shouren was a little uneasy, suddenly the confidant next to him pointed in the direction of the valley and said excitedly: "Look, my lord, they are here."

Is someone here?

Sure enough, Wang Shouren looked up, and there was a group of troops coming from the direction of the mouth of the valley. From here, they couldn't see the side at a glance. Judging from the flags in their hands, they should be the rebels under King Ning.

After waiting for so long, you are finally here.

Wang Shouren was lying on the ground excitedly, watching the enemy's movements. Who knew that he had waited for a long time, but he didn't see any movement from the other party. He just dawdled at the entrance of the valley and didn't come in. He didn't know what he was doing. .

"My lord, why don't they move?" The subordinates were also confused.

"I probably sensed the danger. Let's wait." Wang Shouren's brows were already furrowed, and his heart was beating a little.

After a while, the enemies in the valley finally moved, but it was different from Wang Shouren's imagination. Although these enemies entered the valley, only about 100 people entered, and most of the rest remained in the valley outside, motionless.

This time Wang Shouren was really at a loss, watching the more than 100 people swaggering past him, but he never said his order.

Originally, I could eat a fat man with one bite, but it turned out to be a chicken. If I exposed the army for the sake of more than 100 people, wouldn't it just scare the other party away.

No, these people cannot be moved.

Wang Shouren gritted his teeth and endured it.

After walking for a while, they swaggered through the valley to the other side for more than 100 years. Just after they arrived, more than 100 people came over from the entrance of the valley, and their movements were exactly the same as those people just now. Who is here to fight? It's more like traveling in mountains and rivers.

The first batch was not blocked, and the second batch was not fought. When it was time for the third batch, Wang Shouren finally knew that something was wrong. It was obvious that the enemy must have other plans for using this tactic against him. They were not the ones staying here at all. The main force, their main force may have already run away from other ways.

Thinking of this, Wang Shouren no longer cared about hiding his whereabouts, and jumped out quickly, signaling to the troops on both sides. After the sound of a trumpet, the huge rocks on both sides were immediately pushed down, quickly sealing the valley.

The most frightening thing at this time is the more than 100 people surrounded in the valley. I am really unlucky. The first two groups passed without any problems, but when they rushed to me, the enemy suddenly appeared. In fact, everyone has already thought about the situation. Now that it's my turn, I can only endure it.

Throwing the knives and guns in their hands to the ground, everyone dismounted immediately and knelt down on the ground. After a short time, thousands of people ran down the hillside and quickly surrounded the more than 100 people.

Once the crowd was divided, Wang Shouren rushed in, grabbed one of them by the collar and said, "Be honest, who is your general?"

Anyway, he was the one who was sacrificed, so there was no need to hide anything. The man simply replied: "Our leader is Prime Minister Li Shishi and Master Li."

It's actually Li Shishi?

Wang Shouren was shocked immediately, and he regretted it immediately. If he had known that the enemy's general was Li Shishi, he would not have exposed his figure so carelessly. Arousing Li Shishi's suspicion, he played such a trick to force himself to show up.

Sighing faintly, Wang Shouren then asked, "Where is Li Shizhen now?"

The man quickly shook his head and said, "Master Li ordered 1000 of us to go to this valley, and then 100 people slowly passed by. After that, I don't know where he went."

"Really don't know?" Wang Shouren asked the others unwillingly, and everyone said the same thing.

Until now, Wang Shouren had to admit that he had been tricked by Li Shishi this time. He had been here for so long. Li Shishi might have fled to Nanchang Mansion by other means. With Li Shishi's support this time, I'm afraid that relying on my own ability alone, there is no way to win Nanchang.

Looking up to the sky and sighing for a long time, Wang Shouren thought of what He Jiaan had said to him before leaving, and shook his head with a wry smile. Since there was no way to take down Nanchang City, he could only honestly go to meet He Jiaan and look for King Ning The main force, waiting for an opportunity to fight.

As soon as he turned around, the guard beside him asked curiously, "My lord, what should these people do?"

Wang Shouren glanced coldly, and said a word: "Kill!"

Chapter 1518 Your Majesty Has a Purpose

Taking advantage of Wang Shouren's focus on the valley, Li Shishi made a deliberate circle, and finally brought all the remaining troops into Nanchang City. When Wang Shouren woke up and rushed to Nanchang City again, there was nothing he could do .

To attack, I don't have enough troops, and the opponent still has Fran's machine guns to help out. Now that there are nearly [-] new troops, I can't chew this hard bone.

After a tentative attack, Wang Shouren simply dismissed the idea of ​​attacking Nanchang. He could only retreat a certain distance one after another, and then send people to Nanjing to tell He Jiaan about the battle here.

It was already two days later when He Jiaan got the news that Wang Shouren had missed.

At this time, He Jiaan was only wearing a white long gown, standing on the pier in Nanjing, behind him were a group of naval generals, probably also aware that the time for a man to make a contribution has finally come, and everyone is gearing up and ready to go .

And in front of him is the family property that he has worked so hard to save for the past few days. Nearly a hundred gunboats are lying across the river, and each gunboat can carry nearly ten Franco cannons. These ships already carried more than a thousand cannons. If they fired a salvo, even a fleet would be able to blast into the river.

After reading Wang Shouren's news from beginning to end, He Jiaan sighed quietly, handed the news to Xue Yi beside him, and smiled slightly: "This time our enemy is strong enough."
