Chang Yu set up a banquet in the city to catch the wind and celebrate Wu Weiying's success, and before the food was served, he heard that Chang Yanling had led the main force to the north of the city and hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, which made Xu Hongji and others very puzzled, and the people who didn't have any strength could still let the little eunuch welcome him?

If it was an ordinary person, Chang Yu would not go to greet him, but Chang Yanling was different, it was his uncle, regardless of whether it was true or false, this superficial effort had to be done, not to mention that he admired Chang Yanling's high-spirited character very much, which was extremely rare in the current court.

Seeing Chang Yu welcoming the outside of the city, Chang Yanling also felt more and more face-saving, and became more and more fond of this Chang family's nephew who was in a high position and used soldiers like a god, and on the way back to the city, the two walked side by side, saying that the war in Tongling was very intimate, which attracted the envy of Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi behind.

Chang Yanling led about 15,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing, although he did not participate in the war, but he was tired from walking here from Nanjing, but because Tongling City was too small to allow tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he let him camp on the riverside Tianjing Lake in the northwest of the city.

Everyone went to the city to meet for a banquet and had to greet each other for a while, Wu Sangui and Ma Ke became the focus, Zhao Zhilong and others put down their bodies and chatted with them, after all, the two of them are famous in both the court and the army, of course, they also maintained a superficial politeness to the general Wang Tizhong, and they had to be peaceful in general.

Because there is no war during the day, in order not to disappoint Chang Yu's special approval to drink less, the generals are overjoyed, after all, wine is the most important spiritual food this year, and everyone at the banquet is laughing or discussing the recent war is very lively, and the happiest should be Chang Yu.

A few days ago, Bai Wang guarded the dangerous road, Chen Bing set up obstacles, so that he had a headache, now there are soldiers and artillery, and there are only waiting for the soldiers to rest for a while, and then they can launch a general attack and advance towards Chizhou, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and got up to replace the wine with tea: "I wish you all to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to capture Bai Wang!" ”

The generals raised their glasses and drank together, and Zhu Guobi said proudly: "We have tens of thousands of troops sharpening their swords, Huo Huo and the artillery of the Shenji Battalion to help, if you don't kill the generals at this time, why let the white thief live for a few more days" Everyone echoed and looked at Chang Yu.

Before Chang Yu could speak, Wu Sangui shook his head: "No, our soldiers and horses were disturbed by its attack last night, and they didn't sleep all night, and they were in high spirits, plus they had just left the city to invite the battle, the soldiers were tired and their morale was low, and the Shenji battalion led by Marquis Wu was also tired after traveling two hundred miles in a day and night, not to mention that the army led by Chang Marquis only relied on two legs to attack all the way.

Zhu Guobi suddenly felt a flush on his face, but he couldn't refute it, after all, he was worse than Wu Sangui in terms of marching and fighting, and he was not even the kind that couldn't even see the taillights.

"The thief army has been attacking and harassing for two days in a row, I don't know if we dare to come tonight after seeing our situation" Zhao Zhilong saw Zhu Guobi's embarrassment and quickly diverted the topic, which really attracted everyone to talk endlessly, Ma Ke said with certainty: "It will come as promised!" ”

"Why is Mr. Ma so sure" Zhao Zhilong asked, and Ma Ke smiled: "Intuition."

Intuition is sometimes a matter of experience, which cannot be explained, and even Chang Yu nodded: "Ben Du also thinks that the thief army will come tonight."

"Then if he dares to come again tonight, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around" Wu Weiying smiled, Chang Yu arched his hand and said: "Tonight will be annoying to Marquis Wu" Wu Weiying returned the salute: "I don't know which city is on duty tonight?" ”

"On duty" Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "If Marquis Wu doesn't go to bed early, come to the city, let's take a look at the night scene and chat", Wu Weiying laughed: "That dare is good, and it happens to be close to the thief."

"Since there is a good show, then we will also go to the city to see the excitement" Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi also came up and said, Wu Sangui welcomed, but Xu Hongji shook his head with a wry smile, these two are stupid, they really don't know the danger in the city, and they accidentally went to see the king of Hades, and you two still want to go and see the excitement.

Everyone ate and drank and discussed the military situation, this meal was eaten for more than an hour, Chang Yanling and Wu Weiying and others hurried overnight and drank some wine and went back to the room to rest, Wu Sangui and others went to the city to inspect and some went to the street or the military camp to sacrifice the army, and only Chang Yu and Li Muxian were left in the courtyard pavilion to play chess and fight.

"When does Lord Overseer think Li Yan will be able to break through Anqing City?" Li Muxian raised his flag and asked lightly, Chang Yu thought for a moment: "If there is the blessing of artillery, the army can go down within seven days under the siege of the city, but if he has no heavy artillery on his side and only relies on human lives to fill the pit, it will take a little longer, of course, it is not ruled out that there are other accidents."

"Could the accident the Overseer have something to do with us?" Li Muxian smiled slightly, and Chang Yu did not deny it: "If we capture and kill Bai Wang, then General Anqing may surrender."

"But if Li Yan can't attack it, then what if the thief will not surrender?" Li Muxian asked again.

"Then surround him for a few months and let him break down from the inside!" Chang Yu snorted, and then waved his hand: "Over there, Li Yan can't suffer a big loss if he succeeds or not, let's take care of ourselves."

"Isn't it already decided that we will launch an attack after the soldiers repair for a few days, and the artillery of the Shenji Battalion will suppress tens of thousands of troops and kill them, so even if Bai Wang occupies the advantageous location, it will be difficult to stop us, so why worry about the overseer."

"Really?" Chang Yu heaved: "Do you really think that Bai Wang is so easy to fight, a few days ago, as soon as we arrived, he was able to immediately withdraw the besieging army and retreat to the main road, you can know that he is actually a decisive person, and can use the terrain to build fortifications in a very short time, his military talent should not be underestimated, such an opponent must have a backhand, you only see our reinforcements coming, how do you know that his reinforcements have not arrived, he can see us, but we can't see them, but if you can't see them, it doesn't mean that you haven't come."

"Speaking of which, Lord Overseer just wants to say that this is a vicious battle, a brutal bloody battle, right?" Li Muxian smiled, and Chang Yu turned his head sideways and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

"Yes, but we are fighting against the thieves and the Tartars in the north!" Li Muxian looked at Chang Yu: "Why does Lord Governor seem to have suddenly become merciful after going south this time."

Chang Yu laughed: "Maybe it's because Bendu hasn't been in battle for a long time to kill the enemy, and his heart has softened."

At the beginning of night, the city in Tongling City has been fully prepared, with the experience of the past, the city has set up a firefighting team to deal with the fire bomb attack of the thief army, and the Shenji battalion has set up more than 100 tiger squat cannons in the city, just waiting for the thief army to come, and he will bombard his personal back.

The city is very lively, mainly because there are many people who come to see the excitement, Wu Sangui is on duty today, Ma Kelai accompanied, Lu Daqi is a frequent visitor, Zhao Zhilong, Chang Yanling and Zhu Guobi came to open their eyes to see fresh, even Xu Hongji, who is dangerous but difficult to be in the city, was also pushed, of course, there are so many bigwigs on the occasion that the king has to come to join in the fun, it can be said that except for Chang Yu and Li Muxian, almost all the generals on the side of the officers and soldiers are in the city.

The thieves did not disappoint them, and sent troops as soon as the time came, but it seemed that the officers and soldiers were going to place artillery at the head of the city, and this time they did not approach but assembled outside the two miles.

This made the generals at the head of the city a little surprised, a little lost, and more confused, what are you doing there if you don't get close and don't attack?

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, but everyone doesn't notice where the demon is.
