Pan Dahu was startled again when he heard Wang Zamao's words. He quickly stood up and closed the door: "Boss, what do you think?" Wang Zamao scratched his head vigorously and sighed: "Don't talk about the rebels. Is there any hope for the future? If I am beaten back to the mountains by the soldiers and sneak around for the rest of my life and never get ahead, I will be in such a desolate state now... Hehe, people are dead and wounded in my hands and I have no food and grass. Even if the king does not punish me, in the future I can’t hold my head up anymore, so... I think... you are my most trusted brother, please give me an idea."
"These days, if you have food, you are a mother. People only want to have fun in this life. When we rebelled, we said it was to ask for life for the people, but in fact, everyone knows clearly in their hearts that it was just for glory and wealth. But after so many years, let alone wealth None of us have fallen into trouble. If the court can give us a future where we can be prosperous and upright, it will be far more satisfying than being a thief." Unexpectedly, Pan Dahu was a very open-minded person, and he spoke his mind directly without being pretentious at all.
Oops, Wang Zamao stamped his foot: "I think so too" and then sighed: "But this wealth is not so easy to come by." Then he told Chang Yu what happened to him to persuade Wang Tizhong to surrender, "To put it bluntly, that murderer The devil despises me, so even if I surrender like this, I won’t be able to use him again. I have to use the king’s body as a certificate of surrender to have a future.”
Pan Dahu hummed and said, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Why not call the third and fourth children over and let's have a good discussion."
Then Wang Zamao called several of his confidants to close the door and discuss secretly, while the rain kept falling outside.
On the top of Wuhu City, Kuang Ren and Jin Shenghuan were confused. Before dark, two groups of troops in the north of the city were facing each other hundreds of meters away. He was sure that there was one reinforcement and it was most likely Lao Jiu's Black Wolf Battalion. Even Chang Yu was Maybe among them,
Unfortunately, it was getting dark and it was difficult to see clearly from a distance. The two armies faced off for a long time and then dispersed.
What is this...?
It stands to reason that with Lao Jiu's urinary temperament, even if he loses, he will go up and have a fight before leaving. How come it is so easy to get together and break up? The two of them racked their brains and couldn't figure out the reason. When they were about to go down to the city, they found that the bandits outside the city had made moves and frequently attacked the city.
"It looks like we are going to besiege the city." Kuang Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head. Jin Shenghuan couldn't help but scolded: "You are really evil. It seems that you won't sleep tonight." He looked up at the drizzle in the sky and said, "Oh my God. If you want to do it, do something big and drown those idiots so that we can take a breather!"
There is a large river a few miles south of Wuhu City, with Qingshan Mountains in the east and the Yangtze River in the west, named Qingge River.
There is a village in the south of the Yangtze River, deserted and deserted. Thousands of thieves and soldiers arrived and stationed here at nightfall. A courtyard in the north of the village was completely cleared. A strong man in his thirties stood at the door with a frown and looked at the rain falling in the courtyard. This man was Wang Tizhong, the number one general under Bai Wang, the thief leader. .
After Bai Wang captured Anqing Fucheng, he ordered Wang Tizhong to continue the Northern Expedition. Then Wang Tizhong easily captured Chizhou Prefecture and was stationed in Tongling. His subordinate Wang Zamao continued to advance towards Nanjing. Wang Zamao lived up to his expectations and first went to Fanchang and then broke through Anqing and approached Nanjing. Wang Tizhong was both surprised and happy. He originally wanted to follow Bai Wang's example and hide behind for peace and comfort, but looking at the momentum, the officers and soldiers were so incompetent that they might actually be able to hit Nanjing.
If this is the case, the success of breaking Nanjing is unimaginable, and Wang Zamao must not be allowed to take it by himself, although he also knows that Wang Zamao's two to three thousand thieves, wrapped in nearly ten thousand cannon fodder, want to break the city of Nanjing. , under normal circumstances, it would be like reaching the sky, but it is hard to say anything these days. I just think that along the way, there are very few cities that are truly built by force, and most of them are dedicated to the city.
Wang Zamao's strength of more than 10,000 people may not be able to scare Nanjing, but if he adds fuel to the fire and recruits 50,000 to 60,000 people, claiming to be in his teens or twenties, the high-ranking officials in Nanjing will not be scared. If you wet your pants, you might even sacrifice the city.
There is a basis for Wang Tizhong's thinking. They sent troops from De'an all the way here. It stands to reason that Nanjing should have sent troops for rescue long ago. However, even after they reached the gate, there was still no movement. What does that mean?
Either you have no soldiers or you are afraid!
If these two things are added together, the chance of winning Nanjing will be even greater.
Unexpectedly, God is so naughty. Just when Wang Ti was preparing to lead an army of refugees to the north, he suddenly heard that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were preparing to cross the river on the other side of Wuhu. This shocked him. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers appeared from nowhere.
It was impossible for the officers and soldiers of Nanjing City to sneak to the other side. After much thought, they pointed to the reinforcements sent by the Jiangbei court! And he even guessed whose soldiers and horses it might be.
For the imperial court, the war in the north had just calmed down. Although Li Zicheng and the Qing army were repulsed, they did not dare to take it lightly and transferred defensive forces to the south of the Yangtze River. The border cities and border gates had to be defended, and the Yellow River also had to be defended. Therefore, Zhou Yuji, Wu Sangui, Tang It was impossible to get through the troops of those people, and the only ones left were Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, who had just been transferred two years ago and the beginning of the year. These two brothers were originally responsible for suppressing bandits in Anlu.
These two men were quite capable. They fought with the murderer king Zhang Xianzhong in Luzhou for more than a year and forced him into Sichuan.
Wang Tizhong's guess was close to ten, but he had no fear in his heart. Although Huang and Liu were famous, they had to fight to know their strength. What's more, the rebel army was so powerful at the moment. On the other hand, they traveled thousands of miles south to fight for reinforcements. It was just when the troops were exhausted and morale was low, and they wanted to cross the river to attack the city, hey... it was another great achievement.
So the king's body immediately mobilized troops to send troops north from Tongling. The troops he led were not cannon fodder who could only wave flags and shouts, but elite soldiers and strong soldiers. When Bai Wang came out of De'an, he had nearly 20,000 rebels. He left nearly half of them in Anqing. The rest were led by Wang Tizhong in the Northern Expedition. When he captured Chizhou Prefecture, he assigned another 2,000 troops to Wang Zamao to continue his march north. At this time, there were still robbers. Six to seven thousand men, plus thousands of cannon fodder, advanced northward in a mighty manner.
The officers and soldiers were about to cross the river, and Wang Tizhong ordered an urgent march. However, unfavorable weather and heavy rain hindered their journey. As soon as they arrived at Fanchang County, they staggered and had not yet taken a breath when they received the latest information from Wang Zamao: Nanjing's troops have arrived on that day. Tu, it should be to cooperate with the officers and soldiers on the other side to cross the river...
The king's body did not bother to repair, and immediately led his troops northward. However, not only did it rain non-stop this time, but there were countless rivers of various sizes within a hundred miles from Fanchang to Wuhu, and they could not be crossed. The march was like a turtle's pace.
What's even worse is that the small river can be crossed with a little effort, but the Zhanghe River between the two cities is long and wide. Due to the heavy rains, it is difficult to cross without a boat, so we can only cross the river by looking west along the Yangtze River. , this whole tossing was really exhausting.
But it's not over yet.
Wang Zamao came again to deliver a message, saying that the officers and soldiers crossing the river was just a pretense, Wuhu City was lost, and now that they had run out of ammunition and food, it was the end of the road.
I fucked you so much! Wang Tizhong yelled at Zheng at that time!
Sometimes he scolds the officers and soldiers, sometimes he scolds Wang Zamao, and sometimes he scolds the damn God.
He didn't stop until his voice was boiling with scolding, and he calmed down a lot. He also began to doubt in his heart. The crossing of the river by officers and soldiers was just a pretense. Where did the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the other side go? Was it because of the weather that the crossing was suspended, or was there no intention to cross the river from the beginning but just to attract and contain Wang Zamao? If so, what was the actual intention of the officers and soldiers on the other side, to defend Luzhou Prefecture?
It would be fine if they were just defending Luzhou Mansion, but if... Wang Tizhong immediately sent someone to report back to Bai Wang, asking him to be more careful!
Then he couldn't help scolding Wang Zamao, this idiot. How could he be so careless that the officers and soldiers took the opportunity to seize the city? Why didn't he kill all those who were suspected when he entered the city? Now it's okay, he was taken away by people inside and outside. city.
In his opinion, there must be a sudden riot in the city, opening the city gates, and cooperating with the officers and soldiers outside. Otherwise, how could more than a thousand officers and soldiers capture the city? If he knew that only about a hundred people captured the city and there was no internal response, he might Crazy!
However, scolding, anger, and reinforcements are urgent. After all, there are nearly ten thousand soldiers and cannon fodder over there. If they are really hungry or forced to a dead end, they may be used by the officers and soldiers. Other than that, he He also had to take advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers had just captured the city before they could stand firm, because the reinforcements from the officers and soldiers were also blocked in this weather. The thousands of people in the city alone could not hold out for long. He wanted to retake Wuhu before the officers and soldiers' reinforcements arrived. City, this is his only chance.
But……
Regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers, Wang Tizhong ordered to rush for reinforcements. When he saw Wuhu City close at hand, the Qingge River lay in front of him!
Just say "fuck you", and everything in front of your eyes turns black and the world spins.
This is just the beginning. The Broom Star King Zamao has received news again. He stayed up all night to prepare for the attack on the city and took action at noon. Now... more than half of them are dead or injured and they are dying.
Useless trash, the king stood on tiptoes and cursed. He was tricked for several days and lost the city. In the end, he was seriously injured and more than half of them were killed and injured. It was just that they died as cannon fodder. Half of the two thousand elite soldiers were also gone. He really deserved to die. Those are all tough soldiers who have been tempered into steel!
