Ming dynasty grand dude

But his army couldn't even get close to Jinling City within five miles.

Xu Chu, the Duke of Wei in the city, just came down with a round of shelling.

Most of Zhu Chenhao's proud "rebel army" almost fled.

This is really no way!

This fellow's subordinates are not Yang Qing, Li Fu, Wang Ru...these are gangsters who are wanted with their lives behind their backs.

It's Ling Shishi and Min Niansi, the leaders of the water village entrenched on Poyang Lake.

If it was a soldier of the former guard, with the more than one hundred thousand troops in his hands, he could indeed fight.

However, when the opponent was replaced by the New National Defense Force, his [-] mobs were not enough.

Even because of the dismantling of the guard post, some dissatisfied hereditary generals defected with their own soldiers, supported by many families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Let his team directly approach 20, but it is still not enough.

Under the city of Jinling, Zhu Chenhao, who prided himself on his royal aura, suddenly felt that... rebellion is not easy to do!

When he met Wu Wending again, he suddenly wondered if he was the material.

But before he could figure it out, the news came that 20 national defense troops instantly wiped out Bazhou and went straight to Jinling.

"Let's talk about it, now that the army is attacking... what should I do?!"

In King Ning's big tent, Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng, Wang Lun... all sat upright.

Ling Shishi and Min Niansi were wandering around with eyeballs dripping, not knowing what they were thinking.

Yang Qing looked anxiously at the silent crowd, and said in a low voice.

"How about withdrawing the Yuzhang first?!"

As soon as he said this, Liu Yangzheng glared and jumped out first.

"Hmph~! Nonsense!!"

In fact, Liu Yangzheng also wanted to withdraw his troops, but he couldn't withdraw now!

Many of the troops in the army belonged to the Jiangnan gentry, how could they be willing to withdraw? !

If they withdraw, they will definitely mutiny if they lose Jiangnan!

And these Jiangnan gentry are also the source of Ningwang's food and salary.

If Jiangnan is lost, how can Yuzhang alone fight against the army? !

"The place in the south of the Yangtze River is the place where I started my family in the court of Taizu! Based on this, I can aspire to the top of the world!"

Li Shishi also came out to speak at this time, he is also a representative of the gentry.

At this time, he must speak for the gentry, otherwise he really can't get along.

"Yes, this place must not be abandoned! Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Chenhao was actually in a panic, he really wanted to run away now.

He even thought about surrendering, planning for more than ten years, delusional thinking that he could become emperor.

But when he really rebelled, he realized that he had great ambition and talent.

The counselors around him thought they were crouching dragons and phoenixes, Nanima couldn't even handle Wu Wending.

They are the only ones who even help a feathered self to win the world!

Whether the dog's life can be saved is another matter.

In fact, Zhu Chenhao's heart is full of tears now, and he completely regrets it!

The battle under Jinling City left a deep impression on him.

The heavy artillery on the city wall only roared for one round, and his valiant and high-spirited army of 20 almost ran away halfway.

At that time, Zhu Chenhao's heart was so cool, wow!

But it's no wonder that the soldiers below, he, Zhu Chenhao, was the first to run away on horseback after the bombardment came over.

Can others not follow? !

Don't run away, stay and wait to die? !

"Cough cough cough... I never said that I would give up the land in the south of the Yangtze River, but I just want you to discuss it!"

Zhu Chenhao also pondered that he has tens of thousands of servants of Jiangnan gentry under his command.

If they really ran away, they would have to mutiny if they were not sure.

At that time, the strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be impossible to compete with the capital.

"Now the puppet emperor's 20 troops are attacking, and the bandit's leader, Zhang Chihu, is in charge! Oh, how can I not be worried!"

"The minister waits for ten thousand deaths..."

Shouting ten thousand deaths, but none of these people have this consciousness.

After shouting all the nonsense that should be shouted, everyone naturally began to think about how to deal with it.

Since Li Shishi and the others shouted that they could not withdraw, Zhu Chenhao would definitely not withdraw.

But Ling Shiyi and the others knew in their hearts that it would be okay for them to bully the small caravan or something.

Really fighting with Daming's navy, they were fighting at sea!

Those little broken boats of theirs are just knitting wool.

A group of people thought hard, but in the end, no one said anything.

The main reason is that no one is sure that they will be able to withstand the 20 troops to counter the rebellion.

"I suggest that Anqing be defended on the front line. Supplemented by the navy along the river to block..."

After all, Li Shishi has been in the officialdom, even if he is a bad dish, he is better than others.

After a little pondering, a general direction was given.

This not only did not completely abandon Jiangnan, but also minimized the defense line.

Anqing had been defeated a long time ago, so it wouldn't be a big problem if he defended it.

If you retreat back, you can return to Yuzhang, which can be regarded as a step by step.

Although the rest of the people were a little dissatisfied with this plan, they had no better way.

Until this moment, they knew in their hearts that defeat was only a matter of time.

Now it is hoped that it can be delayed as long as possible, so that they have a chance to surrender.

It is impossible for Zhu Chenhao to surrender, and the vassal king's rebellion is a doomed thing.

But they are different!

Even if it can be exonerated, it is worth it.

The only one who must die is probably Li Shishi.

This guy and Zhu Chenhao are relatives, they are grasshoppers on the same rope.

No one can jump away.

"Okay! Order the army to bury the pot and make a meal, and set off for Anqing tomorrow morning!"

In fact, Zhu Chenhao had no idea, so he could only listen to Li Shishi.

"Navy officers and soldiers will be troubled, I will dispatch [-] troops to coordinate with my subordinates! We must guard the Jiangkou!"

Ling Shiyi and the others hurriedly bowed to protect their fists, but they knew in their hearts that they were throwing a burden.

There is a use for the navy to guard Lucheng!

The [-] troops thrown down must also be members of the Jiangnan gentry.

The rest are all the gangsters from all over the world, the generals and soldiers of the guards that Zhu Chenhao has been beckoning for many years.

Using them as the core is better than using the Jiangnan gentry and Ling Shiyi as the core? !

"Rumbling..." The horseshoes of the war horses broke through the tranquility of the ancient road, and a group of black armored cavalry rode their horses and passed silently.

No one spoke, there was no other noise.

All the black armored cavalry were all wearing face armor.

The armor on his body was covered with dust.

One person has three riders, war horse, draft horse, and pack horse.

Obviously, they have been walking for a long time.

The sky gradually darkened, and the cavalry finally stopped slowly.

"Warning! Set up camp! Make food!"

With an order, these black-armored soldiers began to disperse tacitly.

Write food and fodder from the pack horse, and start making rice in a steel box.

On the flat ground, a group of soldiers dismantled the simple tents from the pack horses.

Several soldiers "Hula~" and set up the camp.

Tables and chairs were simply laid out inside, and one member, Jin Jiaxiao, stepped in slowly with a "Ka Ka Ka ~".

Dai Dai took off his helmet and visor, and it was the Jade Chi Tiger Zhang Xiaogong.

And the young man next to him, whoever it is, is not the bear Zhu Houzhao.

"Brother Hu, we can reach Yuzhang by one more night tonight! Why rest?!"

Young Master Zhang glared at him, and the brat was so frightened that he dared not speak.

"How do we fight when tired soldiers enter the city?!"

Yu Chihu waved his hand and asked him to sit down too.

Write down his steel kettle and pour him a glass of water.

"Although the investigation bureau has found out, there are only three thousand old and weak in Yuzhang City..."

"But the lion and the elephant fight the rabbit, you must do your best! Don't slack off!"

The bear boy nodded, and said with a slap in the face: "A lion and an elephant must fight a rabbit with all their strength! Brother Hu is very true!"

Only then did Grandpa Zhang realize that the words "a lion and an elephant fight a rabbit must also be done with all their strength" are not available now.

It is from the "Preface to "The Chronicle of the Heart Temple" written by Huang Zongxi, a native of Donglin in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Although this group of people did not do anything good.

But talent, that is really talented.

"Besides, I go deep alone, even if I occupy Yuzhang, I may face the siege of more than [-] troops of rebels."

Young Master Zhang paused for a moment, then continued: "So, at this time, if you take an extra rest and cultivate a little more energy, you will have more confidence!"

"Use the smallest loss and the fastest speed to occupy Yuzhang! In case of future changes!"

The bear kid couldn't help but nodded, and at this moment, someone outside the tent yelled clearly.

"Young master, the meal is ready."

After patting the bear boy, Grandpa Zhang smiled and asked him to go out for dinner together.

One of the new regulations he advocated is that officers and soldiers eat together.

If you refuse to eat in the same ladle, how can people trust that you can guard his back on the battlefield? !

After dinner, Grandpa Zhang didn't take a rest, but took the bear boy to meet a few people.

"There are 60 stones of grain and fodder in Yuzhang City, which is what King Ni has hoarded for many years."

"There are only [-] guards in Ni Wang's mansion, and most of the soldiers have been transferred to Anqing..."

Young Master Zhang exhaled, looked at the person coming and said in a low voice: "How many people can the Investigation Bureau use nearby?!"

The man hesitated for a while before whispering.

"There are about [-] trustworthy ones. There can be [-] people who can be deployed outside."

Yu Chihu nodded, and the visitor smiled wryly.
