The rain is not heavy, but the rain and mist are shrouded in fairy spirit, of course, this is for the people who are watching in the city, Wang Yien outside the city does not have such taste, after several battles, his soldiers and horses have long been exhausted, and he himself is even more angry, extremely hysterical, scolded a meal outside the city, until the throat smoked out of the sound before giving up, leaving a few thieves in the four gates to stare at the rest of the retreat to the foot of the east of the city to take shelter from the rain and rest.

Wu Sangui and Wang Tizhong in the yamen in the city are asleep, the two of them have not closed their eyes since yesterday afternoon from Wuhu to this place, two or three hundred miles of wild running plus several battles have long been exhausted, summoning the squires in the city to hurriedly explain some things and then fell asleep, and the same as the two of them and the soldiers under their command, eating and drinking something in the door hole unconsciously entered the dream.

Time flies, and before the rain stops, the sky is getting dark, and Wu Sangui is awakened by a knock on the door outside, and he took out the knife under the pillow and turned over and got out of bed, and then stared for a long time before remembering where he was, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and put the knife into the sheath and shouted: "What's the matter?" ”

"General, the reinforcements of the thief army are here!"

Wu Sangui was startled, hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the room, and it happened that Wang Tizhong also happened to run out, the two looked at each other and didn't say anything, and rushed to the city, and it was vaguely seen that the dense thief army on the riverside more than ten miles south of the city was pouring in.

"Bai Wang is here!" Wu Sangui muttered, turned his head and looked due north, the vast wilderness was empty.

"As long as our army can come within three days, this Tongling City will be fine, Bai Wang's little means are very clear to me, he is not good at attacking the city and there are not many guys in his hands, most of the belongings when he goes out of the mountain are in my hands...... Well, it's all in the Little Overseer now." Wang Tizhong squinted at the thief army slowly coming in the distance and looked at the sky again: "He came all the way in the rain, the soldiers are tired and the sky is late, and he can't make any splashes today."

Wu Sangui nodded and said curiously: "You said that the white thief has a clear method, so what kind of means does he have?" ”。

Wang Tizhong chuckled: "You really asked the right person, I have been with Bai Wang for six or seven years, and I can say that I know him best, and he has been able to be as stable as a rock for so many years...... Bai Wang is extremely cautious, good at guerrilla field warfare, can use all kinds of terrain to deal with the enemy, and his soldiers are all battle-hardened soldiers, although they may not be comparable to the Guanning army of the Shangwu General Army, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary officers and soldiers, Zuo Liangyu and I ...... I have fought him more than ten times and never won a game! ”

"That's pretty impressive!" Wu Sangui frowned, he has never been a person who underestimates the enemy, Bai Wang's ability to survive under Zuo Liangyu's nose for several years without dying is enough to prove his fierce strength, "You just said that he is not good at attacking cities?" ”

Wang Tizhong glanced at Wu Sangui when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Chief soldier Wu, do you think how many thieves are good at attacking cities by hiding in mountain nests and drilling rat holes every day?" Wu Sangui was stunned, then patted his head with a wry smile.

In fact, in the past few years, both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been fighting guerrillas in the mountains, hiding everywhere, even if they have been powerful in recent years and began to attack cities everywhere and plunder the land, but there are not many cities that are really captured by strength, and many times they are overwhelmed by power, and hundreds of thousands of people besiege the city to scare the defenders' legs weakly, either directly surrender to the city or there are spies and internal responses, or they are forced to be beaten down by them with crowd tactics, there is no technical content.

"Bai Wang transferred up to 5,000 soldiers and horses from Anqing this time, and the rest may be the people he coerced along the way, these people can't fight, but it's a good dog's leg to help shout and fight" Wang Tizhong stared at the south: "There are about more than 10,000, we are still a little difficult to defend the city with hundreds, fortunately, it has no artillery, no guys, and when it is ready, our army should also arrive."

Wu Sangui shook his head and said: "Tens of thousands of people surround this small city, if its guys are complete, even if there is no artillery to open the way, it is enough for us to drink a pot!" Wang Tizhong smiled lightly: "I just said, he is not enough, and it is impossible to attack the city in a few days, but ...... Tomorrow is a little scareless, cough ...... Ming'er should plug her ears."

"What, isn't that white thief very good at bluffing?" Wu Sangui smiled curiously, and Wang Tizhong smiled: "Otherwise, how did they fight outside Nanjing in just a few months, and they almost didn't encounter a tough battle along the way, and no matter how tough people were, the heart to resist by him was gradually gone, and some of them directly opened the door and surrendered."

"Since that's the case, let's taste the taste of kicking the iron plate" Wu Sangui sneered and looked into the distance: "Don't pay attention to how he attacks tonight, let the soldiers just trim up, and Ming'er will listen to how he scares the general!" ”

Wang Tizhong snorted, and said, "For the sake of safety, I suggest that all four city gates be sealed!" Wu Sangui thought about it and nodded in response.

It was completely dark, and suddenly it was drizzling again, Bai Wang was already soaked, his face was blue and looked very terrifying, he didn't know if it was cold or angry, he looked at Wang Yien who came to greet him, and exhaled deeply: "He went in?" ”

"Humble and incompetent, please punish the commander!" Wang Yien dismounted and knelt in front of Bai Wang's horse.

Bai Wang turned over and dismounted and helped him up: "What are you doing at this time, let's talk about what is going on, didn't you send a message two hours ago to inform me to repel it to the north of the city, how can you ......" said and took a long breath, Wang Yien knew Bai Wang too well, and knew that he must be very angry and angry now, but he was forcibly suppressing his emotions, but he didn't know if his anger was because of Wang Tizhong or because of himself.

Although Wang Yien is known as the king of Hades, he is actually very afraid of Bai Wang, so he said that he was worried about the future of the dragon and said, when he arrived in Tongling, he happened to meet Wang Tizhong and then began to fight, Wang Tizhong did not retreat to the north of the city, but his subordinates in the city did not open the door, and Wang Tizhong was not convinced that he came to invite the battle several times, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides were tired from before noon to noon......

Among them, he should show his bravery, and the hidden part should be brushed aside, Wang Yien is also a guy who can speak well, he knows how to avoid the heavy and light, Bai Wang's face is a little better, after all, the city gate is not open, and no one can enter.

It's just that the hundreds of horsemen in the king's body ran two or three hundred miles overnight, and they can still be inseparable from his two thousand cavalry, which is a bit exaggerated, Bai Wang knows that the king's body is brave but not to this extent.

Wu Sangui! When Wang Yien said Wu Sangui's name, Bai Wang was also surprised: "He is also here!" ”

"Yes, his rate of more than 500 Guanning iron cavalry plus the hundreds of cavalry in the king's body, although the strength is less than half of the subordinates, but the combat power is very strong, although the subordinates are working hard, they only fight with half a catty!" Wang Yien knows how to make a fuss about some details, but in fact, his army is at least three times that of Wu Sangui, but he only says that it is twice as much, which Bai Wang will not investigate in detail, and Wang Yien's subordinates will not expose it.

"It's no wonder" Bai Wang nodded slightly: "It's not a strong wind that Guan Ning Iron Cavalry can break through such a big name, and the good cavalry and shooting are far from comparable to us, it's good that you can remain undefeated with twice the strength...... They should be too tired from the long journey, otherwise you will suffer a big loss! ”

Wang Yien breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart: "If it weren't for the fact that his subordinates were too tired from braving the rain all the way, it would be unknown who would have killed the deer today......" Before he finished speaking, Bai Wang suddenly interrupted him: "But why did they enter the city again?" ”

Wang Yien said the truth, but he also added oil and vinegar, saying that Wu Sangui was holding him back, and Wang Tizhong was in the same city as the inside and outside, and the three parties joined forces to exploit a loophole...... Bai Wang couldn't help but sigh: "Careless, careless...... But at that time, no one could have expected him to be so treacherous."

"It's not ......" Wang Yien's face was angry: "When the city is broken, he will be allowed to leave no way to relieve the hatred in his heart."

Breaking the city? Bai Wang looked at the dark Tongling City in the distance, and his eyes narrowed into a line: "I will be ready tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, but at that time, I am afraid that the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers will also arrive...... It's a little tricky."

"Then let's break the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers first, they are far away, we will wait for him to be caught off guard, and then go back to clean up this dog offal in the king's body!" Wang Tizhong scolded and scolded, Bai Wang's face was solemn and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, since Wu Sangui is here, how can the Guan Ning army under his command only bring more than 500, and I'm afraid that it will be more than 5,000 in the back, didn't you just say it, there are nearly 20,000 troops behind the officers and soldiers, and we will definitely suffer if we resist hard."

"20,000 is what Wu Sangui and Wang Tizhong said, I don't know if it's true or not, even if it's true and 20,000, when they come to the legs, their legs are weak, but we rest all night regardless of whether he is from the Guanning army or the Guanwai army, just kill it, and those 20,000 can't be all northern soldiers and horses, aren't they on the other side, the officers and soldiers of Nanjing City are straw bales......"

Bai Wang nodded and shook his head, this needs to be considered in the long run, and he turned his head to look at the city in the distance: "We are outside in the wind and rain, but we can't make them comfortable and scold the city!" ”

When the sky is dark, the sky is drizzling, Bai Wang scolded more than 1,000 thieves outside the four gates of Tongling City or persuasion, or intimidation, or scolding, the black lights on the city are silent, the rise of the thieves scolding someone will approach to hit the city gate, swishing arrows attack and shoot over several people, the thieves are frightened and no longer dare to approach, but the distance is more fierce, then the city fell into silence again, and even the soldiers inside listened to the scolding and quietly fell asleep.

In a word, toss as you want!

This move is tantamount to Bai Wang's anger, but there is no good way for a while, at this time to gather soldiers and horses to attack the city, there is no guy who is busy and tired, if he tosses himself for a night and does not rest well, it will cheapen the officers and soldiers who will come tomorrow to reinforce, so after scolding for more than an hour, Bai Wang withdrew the soldiers and horses and came back to repair, and ordered the cannon fodder to be cut down on the spot to prepare for the siege, and at the same time sent the scouts to the north to reconnoitre, to see where the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers were, and how many people.
