At dawn, the rain did not stop.

Although it was a bad weather, Gu Qinglian, the prefect of Tu City, breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't sleep last night.

A few days ago, when the thief army approached Tongling, he asked for help from Nanjing, but it was always like a stone sinking into the sea, no reply no reinforcements, and then the thief army entered Taiping Mansion and easily took Fanchang County and went straight to Wuhu, which was not more than 70 miles away from Dangtu, and for a time people were panicked, and the people took refuge in the city with their families, because anyone knew that Tu could not hold it!

Gu Qinglian didn't want to descend but couldn't go, he knew that as long as he left Dangtu for half a step, the city would be lost, and the imperial court would also punish him for the crime of escaping, and he would also be infamous through the ages! But there are only 500 defenders in the city, so how can he resist the thieves who are known as more than 100,000 at every turn, the only thing he can do is to keep sending people to Nanjing for help.

But there has been no reply from Nanjing, which makes his heart burn but he is also full of pride, people always die, so let's do it vigorously.

That being said, what can 500 soldiers and horses do with a bang.

Gu Qinglian sent people to investigate the enemy's situation, and he didn't go to the city for a few days, because he was worried that someone with a ghost agent would take advantage of his unpreparedness to open the door and surrender, there are too many examples of losing the city because of traitors in these years.

Fortunately, although the thief army has occupied Wuhu for a few days, there is no sign of sending troops to Dangtu, maybe they are too tired all the way north and need to repair for a while, or they haven't enjoyed the scourge of Wuhu for a few more days, but anyway, it gave Gu Qinglian a chance to breathe, so he had more illusions about Nanjing, what if reinforcements were on the way?

However, he actually knew very well in his heart that none of the people who went to report the news came back and fled either dead, so how could the reinforcements come, he just didn't want to accept this reality.

The thief army is obviously in front of him, but he doesn't know when to kill, this time is the most mentally tormented, Gu Qinglian's mental pressure is so great that he is about to collapse, after all, he is just a civil official who has never fought and his psychological quality is not as good as that of a general.

That ordeal finally took a turn last night.

It's finally here!

Gu Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief, early death and late death will always lead to death, this kind of fearful day of not dying is finally coming to an end, because the thief army is finally here.

Hundreds of horsemen pretended to be Nanjing reinforcements late at night to call the door, this trick that a three-year-old child can see through is still being used!

Gu Qinglian felt ridiculous.

Of course, he felt ridiculous at this point.

Although the person who came was not a Nanjing soldier or horse, he was definitely not a thief army, but he never expected that it would be the great eunuch of the East Factory who shocked the government and the opposition!

What surprised him even more was that this eunuch was still very polite, to be precise, respectful.

For Chang Yu, every Wenchen military general who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty is worthy of his respect, although Gu Qinglian is just a little-known civil official, but he can face the arrogant thief army in this environment without retreating or even preparing to fight to the death, he deserves his respect, do you see that he has respected the group of nobles in Nanjing City.

Chang Yu went to the city before entering the yamen, when Tu was the capital city but hundreds of defenders, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were all available, and the soldiers were insufficient, if the thief army came to attack, it would be a miracle to be able to withstand half an hour: "Why don't you call on the people to defend the city?" ”

Gu Qinglian smiled bitterly: "It is within the scope of the matter for the lower officials to eat the king's body to die for the country, so it will not affect these people, and the people in the city will be seven or eight ......out of ten at this time" Chang Yu frowned, he did not meet the fleeing people when he came from Nanjing, Gu Qinglian observed his words and knew that he was puzzled: "They all fled to the east."

Chang Yu realized at this time, and said in his heart that these people had also been ill for a long time, and knew that if the thief army was killed, the next step would definitely be to fight Nanjing, so why flee to Nanjing.

"As expected, there will be a thief army in the afternoon, Lord Gu can first lead the soldiers and horses of the city to the south of the city to build fortifications on the Guxi River" Chang Yu in the city overlooked due south, the rain and fog were very heavy and he couldn't see how far he could see, Gu Qinglian's face turned blue all of a sudden: "Why do you want to go out of the city to meet the enemy with less than five hundred old and young people who are sick and disabled, can't you defend the city according to the city, and there are ...... Are there no reinforcements in Nanjing? ”

Chang Yu turned his head and glanced at him: "Master Gu, this governor is not asking you to build fortifications to face the battle, that is not your job, and also, reinforcements are coming."

Gu Qinglian burst into tears in an instant, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "It's here, it's finally here......" Before the words fell, his body fainted, and he hurriedly held his back to the city, and this haggard old man couldn't bear it anymore when he heard the good news.

"Tough situation, take over the military power of the city" Chang Yu shouted: "Those who violate the order and do not obey will be killed!" ”

How dare anyone disobey the order, soon these hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of people were sent to the Guxi River in the south of the city to build fortifications, and it was not long before Jin Shenghuan led the vanguard cavalry to arrive in Dangtu, and only went to the city to see Chang Yu.

Chang Yu at the head of the city told him about the plan, and Jin Shenghuan's heart tightened, he was about to fight so soon.

Chang Yu pointed to the southeast: "You cross the Guxi River from the east of the city to ambush the troops in Daqingshan, and after the battle begins, you will lead your troops to cross the Qingshan River and attack around its rear."

"Are you sure the thieves will come today? Jin Shenghuan was a little unconvinced: "They only sent troops from Nanjing for half a day and one night, how could the thief army find out the news and react so quickly."

"Don't underestimate any opponent, strategically you can despise the opponent but tactically you must pay attention to the enemy, if the thief army knows that Nanjing will send troops, he will definitely come back, but sooner or later." Chang Yu smiled slightly, and Jin Shenghuan nodded: "After the end is broken, what ...... With whom did the Overseer face the enemy head-on, and should he be Tu with these hundreds of soldiers and horses? ”

Chang Yu shook his head: "The governor has sent someone to order Lu Daqi to send 3,000 troops to hurry, and it should arrive around noon."

"Three thousand...... Although I don't know what the strength of the thief army is, we only have 4,000...... Is the Overseer a little underestimated? Jin Shenghuan was a little worried, Chang Yu patted him on the shoulder: "This battle is our first battle in the south, we can only win and not lose, it is a matter of morale, I hope the general will do his best!" ”

"The last general should work hard and do his best" Jin Shenghuan hurriedly gave his hand, Chang Yu nodded: "Go, first find a place to rest and recuperate."

Jin Shenghuan turned around and hurried away, Chang Yu then went down to the city and went to the mansion, at this time Gu Qinglian had already woken up and struggled to get out of bed to give a salute, and was held down by Chang Yu: "Lord Gu, this is a heart disease, you need to use your heart to medilate!" ”

Gu Qinglian looked forward to it: "Lord Overseer has a heart medicine?" ”

"It's in the process of being prepared, I think that today, Master Gu will take medicine to get rid of the disease, so you can rest first."

Chang Yu was having breakfast at the palace when he received a report from a spy: a thief army was found forty miles away, with a strength of about 3,000.

"It seems that the thief will react faster than the adults expected!" Li Muxian smiled slightly: "It's just that I don't know how many of these three thousand thieves are actually real thieves."

"As long as the real thief army is not more than half, the chance of winning this battle is great" Chang Yu raised the corner of his mouth: "It is estimated that there are at most five hundred, and the rest are cannon fodder!" Li Muxian frowned: "No, it is estimated that it will not be less than a thousand."

Chang Yu smiled: "The real strength of the thief army in Wuhu at this time is only 2,000, but there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the other side, and they can cross the river to fight at will, where does he have the courage to send more than half of the soldiers and horses here, the reason why he sent troops here is nothing more than to reconnoiter to Nanjing, but at most he will detect more than 1,000 cavalry in Jin Shenghuan's forward, and he will think that it is just disturbing people's ears and eyes, so he will take it lightly, send some soldiers and horses to contain it, and it will be too late for him to react!" ”

"According to your lordship, we have won this battle!" Li Muxian laughed, and Chang Yu shook his head: "Does the Dao Chief really think so?" ”

Li Muxian was stunned: "The thief army is only five hundred, and the rest are all homeless cannon fodder, on the other hand, if we have at least four thousand soldiers and horses, can we still be overturned?" ”

Chang Yu laughed a few times: "The Taoist chief has been with the governor for a long time, is it possible to think that the battle is based on the number of people and the number of people is the victory or defeat, although the thief army is only five hundred, they are all fierce soldiers, but the soldiers and horses in Nanjing are mostly pewter spearheads, and I don't know who killed the deer."
