Just when Shi Ren was disdainful of Yunze's military strength, Yue Pengju and Gao Chong had already divided their troops and arrived at Jinhua Mansion and Jiangshan Mansion respectively. It was really impossible for 20,000 troops to capture the two fortified cities.
After all, 20,000 people faced Jinhua and Jiangshan, two cities with a population of more than 300,000. It was difficult to just guard the four city gates and prevent the enemies in the city from protruding.
Not to mention storming the city wall and capturing the two cities. No wonder Shi Ren wasn't worried at all and didn't even send reinforcements.
The garrison generals of Jinhua City and Jiangshan City looked at the 20,000 troops appearing outside the city with ridicule in their eyes. The general who defended Jinhua City was standing on the top of the city with his deputy general.
"Vice general, have the people from the four military towns around Jinhua City arrived already?" the garrison general said calmly. There were six military towns around Jinhua City.
Although two of them had been eliminated by Yue Pengju's force, the remaining four were not captured because they were not on the path of Yue Pengju's advance.
The Lord of Jinhua City wanted to use the forces of the four military towns to unite, plus the 50,000 defenders in the city, a total of 60,000 people, to eliminate the 20,000 people in front of him outside Jinhua City.
What he is waiting for now is the arrival of reinforcements from the four military towns, and then there will be an internal and external cooperation.
"Back to the general, the four military towns have been restored. We should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon. By then, as long as they light up the smoke, we can rush out and attack the enemy forces outside the city."
The deputy general quickly and respectfully replied: "General's brilliant plan... Those people outside the city really don't know how to live or die. I'm afraid they will never think that we will take the initiative to attack. By then, they will be unable to fly."
His voice was flattering, and he looked at the general with a flattering look on his face.
Hearing this, the general showed a sense of pride on his face. He looked out of the city with a slight curl in his mouth and said: "What nonsense Yue Pengju, the unparalleled general who caused trouble in the Jin Army, is just a waste of fame. I'm afraid Yunze will be even more... He's bragging, I'm afraid he's got his brain kicked, and he dares to use 40,000 troops to attack our Zhejiang, Yongbo and Tibetan towns, he really doesn't know how to live or die."
"Tomorrow, I will let them know what it means to overestimate one's capabilities... I will let everyone in the world know that they are nothing more than straw bags. Haha..." While laughing wildly, the general waved his hands and walked towards the bottom of the city wall.
"Everyone, cheer up this general. Don't let them attack the city tonight!"
When the deputy general and other generals heard the words, they immediately responded excitedly, with tears in their eyes. His expression was even more eager to try.
After all, Yue Pengju, a general from outside the city, is a fierce general who has been rumored to be very evil recently. When the Jin army attacked the capital not long ago, this man broke into the Jin camp several times.
Moreover, I heard that this man, together with Yunze, Gao Chong, and other Qinwang troops, wiped out 30,000 Jin army cavalry. When returning to Danyang, he even killed the fierce general Guo Zhaotu who surrendered to the Jin army on the way. Also destroyed were 30,000 Guo's troops.
Such achievements have already made Yue Pengju, Gao Chong, and Yunze famous all over the world. However, these people think that it is exaggerated. Jealousy causes trouble. He showed disdain towards Yue Pengju, Gao Chong and Yunze.
These people even think that if they really meet Yue Pengju, Gao Chong, or Yunze, they can easily handle them casually. Just raise your hand and slap them at your feet.
now. The general of Jinhua City has encountered such an opportunity. As long as he defeats Yue Pengju, he will become famous all over the world.
Outside Jinhua City, Yue Pengju looked at the fortified city in front of him with a cold expression. Next to him was his capable general Yang Xing, standing side by side.
"General, is this tactic of encircling a point for reinforcements really feasible? After all, our troops are limited, and the 50,000 Wu Jing Army in Jinhua City is quite powerful. If their entire army attacks, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. ."
Yang Xing looked at Yue Pengju and said, they only have 20,000 people. Now they have sent 6,000 people to fight against the 10,000 reinforcements in the four military towns, and another 1,000 people have been sent to guard the other three city gates. Too spread out.
If the 50,000-strong army from Jinhua City came out in full force, it would most likely be a fatal blow to them. After all, the other three city gates were guarded by only a thousand troops. It was okay to prevent small-scale enemy troops from leaving the city. However, it would be difficult to resist a large-scale troop troop leaving the city.
When Yue Pengju heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Yang Xing and said: "Yang Guang, don't underestimate your eldest brother's military skills, and don't underestimate my army of 20,000. Compared with the combat power, the five thousand brothers before us may not be able to match it in combat power." them."
"Not to mention, there are 500 musketeers at the four city gates. Don't forget, we also have forty mountain cannons and ten at each city gate. They can't rush out. These new types of guns that Big Brother has researched Weapons are the key to victory. The art of war is among them, and weapons are the most important. If used well, even with the smallest number of people, it is possible to capture the strong city in front of you."
Yue Pengju's face was full of confidence. After studying Yunze's military books, his combat thinking has changed a lot. Combined with modern weapons, he felt that it was an eye-opener.
This time was just a practice for him. As for the reinforcements, he didn't even send troops with new weapons. Only six thousand cavalry were sent. Ten thousand reinforcements and six thousand cavalry can be easily wiped out.
Yue Pengju had already guessed that the Lord of Jinhua City would not go out of the city to fight him. After all, his reputation against the Jin people was still there, and the safest way for the opponent was to cause trouble for him in the rear. Then, taking advantage of his confusion, he sent troops to attack him with great difficulty.
If it had been anyone else, they might have fallen into his trap, but Yue Pengju had thought of this early on, so he combined with Yunze's suggestion of encircling the point and attacking for reinforcements, and directly surrounded Jinhua City without attacking.
The Lord of Jinhua City did not attack him immediately, which confirmed his suspicion. The other party did not even make a tentative attack.
He could imagine that the Lord of Jinhua City was looking at them with contempt on the city wall with great confidence. What he wanted to do was to surprise the lord of Jinhua City and lose the city unknowingly.
The same situation also occurred in Jiang Tongcheng, which Gao Chong was attacking. Gao Chong also used encirclement points to call for reinforcements. Like Yue Pengju, he had two thousand musketeers and forty mountain cannons at his disposal.
As for the hot air balloons, there are also ten, but there is no need for hot air balloons at this time. Unless Wu Jing's army in Jiangshan City closes the city and cannot leave, otherwise, he has enough tactics to capture Jiangshan City.
At the same time, Shi Ren in Jiaxing Prefecture was waiting for the battle report from the front, and Fang La and others in Suhang City also received news that Yunze had sent troops to Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns.
Fang La's eyes were filled with eagerness to act, and he summoned a group of generals and officials under his command to discuss. This was a good opportunity to seize Danyang City.
Fang La's Suzhou-Hangzhou Yongle Dynasty was not far from Yunze's Danyang Mansion. Although there was a small county town of Zhejiang, Ningbo and Fan in the middle, if he wanted to enter Danyang City, he could still do it easily.
"Your Majesty, I think it is better to slow down the attack on Danyang City. That Yunze has defeated the Jin people. Although he is attacking Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns, this person is very resourceful. It is absolutely impossible that he does not know how to defend the city. Stay tuned, if we attack at this time, we may fall into his trap."
"Instead of making good friends, we might as well send troops to help him capture Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns. With our help, Shi Ren of Zhejiang and Yong will only be defeated. We can also take the opportunity to occupy more land in Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns. After all, our Yongle Dynasty has gained The territory is not large, Zhejiang, Ningbo and Fan towns border our country, so it can be incorporated into our country."
Below the main hall, the head of civil servants, Prime Minister Wang Yindao.
"Your Majesty, I don't agree with the Prime Minister's words. Although Yunze has some wisdom and bravery, he has already sent 40,000 troops to attack Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns. How many troops can he have now? Even if there are 100,000, The 100,000 people under his command are probably all new recruits, so what kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have?"
"If we don't take the opportunity to capture Danyang Mansion at this time, when Shi Ren defeats Yunze, he will take possession of the wealth of Danyang City and Yunze for himself. Don't forget, Shi Ren is now assisted by Western firearms! "
Fang La's general, Li Tianrun, spoke up, his eyes full of greed. There was an air of dominance and coldness about him. He looked at Wang Yin coldly, his mouth full of mockery.
Wang Yin heard this and opened his mouth to say something, but before his words came out, several more generals came forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity. If we can capture Danyang, it will be easy for us to conquer the world." If there are too many, the wealth of Danyang City is probably the richest in the entire Jing Dynasty, and some of his businesses are really very profitable!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity and send troops... We are willing to be the vanguard..."
"Your Majesty, this opportunity is not to be missed. We are willing to die for your Majesty..."
In the main hall, almost 90% of the people agreed to attack Danyang City. Only Wang Yin and other civil servants looked further ahead. But their words were drowned out by those generals.
On the throne, Fang La's face was full of joy, and even more greedy. He is also keen on Yunze's wealth. Of course, he is even more keen on Danyang City, a city that has begun to show its industrial power.
"Okay... General Li, General Deng, I will give you a hundred thousand troops. I will send troops to Danyang soon. I must capture Danyang completely."
"The last general takes command!"
Fang La made the final decision. Li Tianrun and Deng Yuanjue, who were assigned the task, were full of joy and looked forward to it. As for the 40,000 troops who went on the expedition, as well as Yue Pengju, Gao Chong and others.
They automatically ignored it, or they instinctively felt that the 40,000-strong army, Yue Pengju, and Gao Chong had no chance to return to Danyang City.
Just when the Yongle Dynasty sent troops to Danyang, the Nanjing Dynasty established by King Kang also discussed and sent troops to Danyang City. In addition to the Yongle Dynasty and the Nanjing Dynasty, there were also some prefectures around Danyang where Yunze was located, and they were also ready to send troops. .
As for the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Dynasty, which borders Yunze, in the court hall at this time, Beijing Emperor Song Heng was sitting on the dragon chair, his expression full of hesitation.
