Wang Zamao had a monstrous hatred in his heart, although he knew that at this time, the officers and soldiers in the city had to let them live in peace, and sent troops to drive cannon fodder around the east of the city to do something in the west.

"Damn, this is a mad dog," the yamen was so tenacious that the thief army kept attacking and scolding, and it seemed that it was impossible to deal with it at dawn, so he recruited those city officials to organize people to transport war materials to the city.

"Looks like I don't have to sleep tonight!" Jin Shenghuan stepped across the sword: "If the heavy rain tomorrow does not stop, we can still take a breath, if the weather is clear, I am afraid that the thieves will attack the city immediately, and I can't be careless at the moment, but the adults are sitting in the city, watching the city in the lower city."

Guo Ren nodded: "At extraordinary times, if there is an abnormal move, there is no need to shrink back and kill!" Jin Shenghuan was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"The people in the city may not be of the same mind as us, maybe some people will take advantage of the chaos to become demons, but anyone who has a different move, regardless of the officials and the people, should be killed by thunder!" Guo Ren said coldly, Jin Shenghuan nodded: "The Lord also guards the city gate, don't approach the living" After speaking, he hugged his fists and left.

"Erniu, the yamen is handed over to you, and there is no forgiveness for those who break through without an order!" If he wanted to inspect the four gates, he called Xu Erniu to explain carefully, unless the county government has great symbolic significance, more importantly, the people's fat and ointment plundered by the thieves are all stored here, and they cannot be lost.

Although I don't know how many thieves are still lurking in the city, there are more than a dozen of Xu Erniu's personal guards and a hundred of Jin Shenghuan's subordinates, and it is difficult to kill them.

This night, people in Wuhu City and outside the city were destined to have no sleep.

And the hardest of them was the infantry led by Lu Daqi.

In addition to Jin Shenghuan's 1,000 cavalry, there were 3,000 foot soldiers, but in a big battle outside Dangtu City, more than half of the casualties were only more than 1,000.

These more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, led by Lu Daqi and Xu Hongji and others, hurriedly packed up and braved the rain to go south in the evening, originally to support Jin Shenghuan at a critical moment. But what I didn't expect was that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the soldiers had just gone through a bloody battle, and their physical strength and morale were very low.

It was dark for more than ten miles, and because he didn't know what the situation ahead was, Lu Daqi didn't dare to go deeper, so he found a village to rest and order the scouts to explore the way.

About half an hour later, the scout reported that Jin Shenghuan and the thief army had a big battle and fled eastward, Lu Daqi and the others were shocked, and they didn't dare to go forward, and Xu Hongji and the others felt that the little eunuch was fooling around, such a soldier, such a dark day, it was simply to die in the past, even if it was just to put smoke bombs to cover up.

Since Jin Shenghuan has fled to the east to explain that he is not defeated by the thief army, it is too dangerous for him to venture forward on this rainy night when he can't see his fingers, and he doesn't know whether the elite army sent by the little eunuch has succeeded in capturing the city.

A few people hesitated, and then sent someone to report back to Tu. Soon, however, an order came: "Keep going!" ”

"This is so special, it's just that we are going to die," Zhu Guobi scolded hatefully, while Xu Hongji looked at Lu Daqi with a blushing face and didn't speak.

"Let's go!" Lu Daqi picked up the dried clothes and put them on the bed again: "The military order is like a mountain, and it must not be violated!" Xu Hongji couldn't help but shudder, looked at each other, and got up silently.

Outside, the wind and rain were so wet that their teeth froze, and the torches poured with oil in their hands were squeaked and flickered by the wind and rain, Xu Hongji sighed, and slapped his horse into the rain.

After walking for dozens of miles, it was already dark at night, and the soldiers could no longer walk, and there was a small hill in front of the scout, and there was a forest at the foot of the mountain. Lu Daqi ordered to rest on the spot and send scouts to explore again.

It didn't take long for the scout to report: Jin Shenghuan has entered Wuhu City!

Lu Daqi and the others were surprised and delighted, surprised that the little eunuch could take the city with only dozens of guards, and the joy was that since the city was taken, they didn't need them to attract attention, and hurried into the city to avoid the pain of this wind and rain.

"There are still thirty miles to go to Wuhu, it is better to grit your teeth and insist on going to the city to rest" Zhao Zhilong proposed, Xu Hongji looked at Lu Daqi, after all, this old man is the boss.

Lu Daqi hesitated slightly: "It's better to report and listen to the decision of the Overseer."

"When do you have to listen to the eunuch's decision, and listen to him for everything, what do you want our group to do" Zhao Zhilong scolded angrily.

Lu Daqi understood the anger in his heart, and anyone who walked dozens of miles in the rain would not be in a good mood.

"Uncle Xin Cheng only knows that Jin Shenghuan has entered the city, and the thieves on the bank of the river have not returned to the army to besiege the city and even ambush the soldiers waiting for us, if something happens, who will bear it? That's a thousand lives." Lu Daqi said lightly, Zhao Zhilong lost his temper, scolded and sat down again, Xu Hongji and Zhu Guobi looked at each other and didn't speak, the situation was unclear at the moment, to be honest, I really didn't dare to move.

If Lu Daqi is the most bitter, then Gu Qinglian is the busiest, as the prefect of Taiping Mansion, he has the courage to kill himself to serve the country before the thief army comes, but the arrival of the little eunuch made him lose this opportunity and became the minister of logistics.

Originally, it was just to provide food and grass for 3,000 soldiers and horses, but who knew that there were more than 1,000 injuries and illnesses in a big battle and they had to be carefully served, and after a busy day, the main force of more than 10,000 people led by Chang Yanling and Tang Guozuo finally arrived in Dangtu, and the good guys had tens of thousands of people to serve, and Gu Qinglian's old waist couldn't straighten up.

Chang Yu brought 20,000 soldiers and horses from Nanjing, the food and grass were well prepared and needed to be smeared with blood, but it was not a trivial matter to settle these more than 10,000 soldiers in the heavy rain, the military camp, the city and the city were filled with all the places that could hide from the rain and hide people, so they began to requisition the houses, which instantly made the chickens and dogs in the city jump, but the people did not say anything unpleasant, after all, they helped them defend the city, especially some rich gentry in the city took the initiative to ask for the army, because they knew in their hearts that as long as the thief army entered the city, they would be the first to cut them.

There are the busiest and the most idle, Gu Qinglian took a group of officials to settle down in the city, but Chang Yu was talking to Chang Yanling and a few people in the yamen hall, playing chess and drinking tea with Li Muxian, so uncomfortable.

Hearing the victory of the officers and soldiers during the day, at this time to take advantage of the victory to pursue to seize Wuhu City, Chang Yanling and Tang Guozuo were surprised and delighted, the god of war in Dongchang really lived up to his reputation, with a group of rookies can come up to fight, fight and win, it is simply too awesome, and the significance of this victory is too important and too important, and the subordinates are a shot in the arm for the soldiers who are tired of marching and causing the morale of the army to be sluggish.

"General" Chang Yu was defeated by Li Muxian in chess, even if Chang Yanling and Tang Guozuo were pointing beside him, the three stinkers did not win this Zhuge Liang, Li Muxian looked proud with the chess pieces in his hand: "The governor doesn't need to look at it, it's a dead end!" ”

Chang Yu was speechless: "Isn't it a bit unfortunate that this bone eye is a general and a dead end" Li Muxian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The governor is still taboo about these?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "It's a hundred taboos, but you can't help but want to be taboo when you win three games in a row, you are just listening to orders under the governor, and you can't live for three days if you change anyone else."

"This is the difference of the Governor, it can make people willing to saddle the front and back of the horse" Li Muxian sent a sycophant by the way, Chang Yu was about to laugh and scold him, at this time a scout came urgently: "Report to the Governor, Wuhu City has been taken, Jin Shenghuan led his troops into the city, the thief army besieged the city, Lu Shangshu repaired thirty miles away and waited for the order......"

Ahh Hearing that Wuhu had fallen, Chang Yanling and Tang Guozuo couldn't help but rub their hands excitedly, looking at the little eunuch's gaze, it was extremely hot, he heard that Chang Yu only sent dozens of his guards to raid and seize the city, and felt that it was incredible that it would be missed, but it was really taken away, it was really shocking!

Chang Yu didn't react much, just looked at Li Muxian and smiled, the examples of surprise attacks by elite troops have not been uncommon since ancient times, as long as the plan is fully coordinated and some luck is added, it will succeed nine times out of ten, so it is not surprising that Chang Yu and his party succeeded in capturing the city.

You must know that the dozens of guards led by Guo Ren are really one in a million elite soldiers, whether they are fighting alone or in teams, they are the top teams of the Ming Dynasty, plus he successfully led Wang Zamao's troops and attention to the riverside garrison, and the defense in the city is empty and covered by heavy rain, this success rate is already very high.

"In the past, Lu Shangshu's soldiers and horses were repaired on the spot and waited for the order, and then found a way to inform Jin Shenghuan in the city to order him to defend Wuhu for three days, and the people plundered by the thieves in the city will be rewarded by the soldiers who defend the city!" Chang Yu made a decision with a slight groan, and the scout turned around and hurried away.

"Why did you let Jin Shenghuan stay for three days?" Chang Yanling frowned and asked, "We are only seventy miles away from Wuhu and can go to support at any time, is it possible that there are any changes?" Chang Yu nodded slightly: "If the elite soldiers are strong, if the weather is good, seventy miles can indeed be rescued at any time, but what are we occupying now?" ”

Chang Yanling shook his head with a wry smile in a daze, Chang Yu was right, these rookies in Nanjing were just exhausted by marching so far, and they were still counting on them to brave the rain and attack nearly a hundred miles to send reinforcements? There is no combat effectiveness in the past, and it used to be a head.

"And the thief army will be annoyed and angry after the city is taken, in addition to the crazy siege of the city, it will also smash our reinforcements, as long as it is found that there are officers and soldiers reinforcements who try to get close, they will be strongly blocked, in this case, we can't fight with him to increase casualties" Chang Yu said and put down the teacup: "In three days, our soldiers and horses may recover their strength, maybe the weather will improve, and the thieves' anger after three days of tossing and turning is almost cathartic, and their energy and physical strength have reached the edge of the limit, so it will be fun at that time!" ”

Amazing, this little eunuch is thoughtful and comprehensive, Tang Guozuo sighed in his heart and couldn't help asking: "How can Father-in-law Chang be sure that the weather will improve in three days, and the reinforcements of the thief army may also arrive in three days."

Chang Yu smiled: "Our family is not sure if the weather will improve in three days, but that half-immortal said that it will get better", raised his hand and pointed at Li Muxian, Tang Guozuo sighed, he also heard that this Taoist priest is very good at observing the sky.

"As for the thief army in three days, reinforcements may arrive...... If there are no reinforcements, we will advance and defeat the thief army outside Wuhu City...... It can't be all good things on our side, so let's touch the mangmai with the tip of the needle."

"Does Grandpa Chang think there will be reinforcements for the thief army?" Tang Guozuo frowned and asked again.

Chang Yu thought for a while: "There is a high probability that there will be, because the thief army doesn't want us to hit Anqing Mansion so quickly."
