At the same time, on the other side of the Yangtze River in the west of Tongling, under the night sky, among the mountains and recklessness, a cavalry of nearly 10,000 was quietly moving south along the river.

It's really hard!

Needless to say, this is naturally the team of Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo, and the three of them are scolding their mothers.

A few days ago, the three of them resisted the other side of Wuhu and thought about crossing the river to attack and win the first success, but after preparing for a few days, the little eunuch asked the three of them to go south to raid Anqing.

The three of them all knew the importance of Anqing to Bai Wang, and they also knew that capturing Anqing was definitely a great achievement, but they also knew that it was impossible to break the city with just more than 10,000 cavalry and no siege guys! The little eunuch's intention was just to let them be the pioneers and clear the way for Li Yan's army behind.

Because the terrain of Anqing is too steep, surrounded by water on three sides and surrounded by mountains on one side, there are several large lakes between the mountains and rivers in the north, if you want to get close to the city, you either take the trail between the lake and the mountains in the west, or take the narrow area between the rivers and lakes in the east.

But in any case, the thief army will not let go of such a good geographical location to easily let them touch the city, and must set up barriers to stop them at dangerous places.

But these have to be found on the ground, but these days are just a march to make three days of suffering, in addition to the rain is the road is difficult to travel, the river beach is littered with rocks, overgrown with weeds and muddy, not to mention too close and easy to be found by the other side, far away and detoured, and on the way there is no big town to rest, mostly some shabby fishing villages, the three of them can still sleep in a clean place, but the soldiers under their command can only rain and blow the wind around the mosquitoes, not to mention annoyed.

Liu Zeqing is familiar with the terrain here, knowing that the mountains to the west are reckless, and the cavalry is too inconvenient to cross the mountains and mountains, and they have to detour far away, only stick to the river bank, but the opposite bank is Tongling, and the tens of thousands of troops across the river are easy to be found by the thief army, after all, Tongling is occupied by the thief army at this time.

After discussing for a long time, the three of them decided to rest in the mountains and forests and wait for the dark to march, although it is not easy to touch the dark, but it is better than being exposed, if you can touch the outside of the city without knowing it, it will save too much trouble.

So when Wu Sangui on the other side hurried to Tongling, Gao Jie and the three of them secretly approached Anqing by the riverside.

Chizhou Prefecture belongs to Nanzhili, under the jurisdiction of six counties, the government of Guichi County (now Guichi District).

Although the night is extremely deep, the lights of the central government in the city are not extinguished, the candles in the lobby of the back house are flickering, and a short-bearded man in his forties is pondering, and the tea next to him has already cooled and he doesn't know it, at this time it is Bai Wang, one of the generals under Li Zicheng.

The sound of the wind in the courtyard protruded, Bai Wang glanced out, got up and walked to the porch at the door, stretched out his hand and saw that it was raining, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, endlessly, it was really annoying.

He is indeed very upset now, and he has encountered a tricky matter!

Li Zicheng's fierce generals are like clouds, and there are many fierce generals who rush into formation, but the defensive type that is not ruthless and stable and ruthless is rare, and Bai Wang is one of them, and it can even be said that it is the only one.

Just because of his stability, when Li Zicheng went north to wrestle with Sun Chuanting, he asked Bai Wang to stick to the old nest that he had managed so hard, De'an, Jiangxi Province, deep in the mountains.

Bai Wang lived up to the trust, stubbornly guarding the mountain, Zuo Liangyu went to suppress the bandits several times, but his head was beaten and his head was bleeding, and in the end he simply didn't go to suppress it, leaving Lu Daqi in Jiujiang to stare at himself and run to Wuchang to plot a big thing.

As soon as Zuo Liangyu left Baiwang a lot more relaxed, he worked well in the mountains, although he was still only dominating in the mountains, the days went by, but after a long time, he felt a little left out and abandoned, especially when he heard that Li Zicheng was the emperor in Xi'an, he was really mixed.

You have conquered a great city, enjoyed happiness, and called me king and emperor, but you have thrown me into this mountain and ignored me.

Bai Wang also wanted to go to Xi'an to join Li Zicheng, but the two places are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, where did he go, from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River? Lu Daqi stared at him in Jiujiang, even if he rushed over, Zuo Liangyu claimed to be 200,000 troops guarding Wuchang and going downstream? Go south down the river to Anqing and then cross the mountains for thousands of miles?

Unrealistic, impossible.

However, when the news of Li Zicheng's eastward expedition came, Bai Wang smelled the opportunity and seized the opportunity, and immediately sent troops to respond to the fruitful march north along the river, far exceeding his original expectations and approaching Nanjing for a time.

But then the news that Li Zicheng failed in his Eastern Expedition and fled back to Xi'an came, Bai Wang also knew that it was easy to pull the egg when he took a big step, and it was the top priority to manage the territory in his hand well and stabilize it, of course, in order to divert the attention of the imperial court, the team of the Northern Expedition had to continue to beat gongs and drums, and there were surprises, Wang Tizhong actually walked out of Chizhou Mansion and entered Taiping Mansion and took Wuhu City.

I can't really knock down the city of Nanjing, just when Bai Wang was daydreaming, the news that the imperial court had transferred troops from the north to help him was sent to him, tens of thousands of troops were ready to move on the other side, and Wuhu was in danger.

Bai Wang, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, understands that although this is a crisis, it is also an opportunity, as long as he defeats this support or surrenders it, he is like a tiger with wings invincible in the south of the Yangtze River, and even Nanjing City is afraid of its momentum and takes the initiative to sacrifice the city, so he decided to go to Wuhu for reinforcements!

Bai Wang's reaction was very fast, but his movements were a little slower, because the rain was too strong recently, and the river water was too big to cause him a lot of trouble to cross the river, and the speed of the march was also delayed because of the bad weather, but he took the opportunity to coerce many displaced people, which contradicted the previous policy, but now he needs to deal with the tens of thousands of reinforcements, and it is naturally beneficial to get more cannon fodder.

In this way, the march from Anqing to cross the river in the rain was one foot deep and one foot shallow, and finally arrived in Chizhou, and the team finally slept soundly, Bai Wang was about to ask people to inquire about what was going on in the north, and the messenger in the king's body arrived: Wuhu City was lost!

Later, when I learned that Wang Zamao carelessly fell for the officers and soldiers to move away from the mountain, although I felt that the officers and soldiers had extraordinary methods, their thoughts were no longer on the gains and losses of Wuhu City, but on the speculation in Wang Tizhong: The officers and soldiers had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on the other side, were they just waving flags and shouting to attract attention? And the precautions are becoming stricter and stricter, so that the fine work cannot penetrate, if it is just to attract attention, you should deliberately let the fine work in to see how big the battle is, so as to put pressure on the rebels.

Therefore, Wang Tizhong guessed that the officers and soldiers on the other side were not only to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Nanjing to seize the city, but also they also had their own goals, that is, to send troops directly to Anqing!

Bai Wang thought deeply and disagreed, Anqing is the city of Fucheng over the years, in the whirlpool of war, early practice, the copper wall and iron wall defense facilities are complete and mature, if you want to break the city, there are tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city for ten days and a half months, it is extremely difficult to take, not to mention its geographical advantages, if you want to attack the city, you can touch the city wall first.

Since the officers and soldiers plan to use troops on both sides of the strait at the same time, why don't they plan and calculate, and I will surround Wei to save Zhao if you draw your salary from the bottom of the kettle, and Anqing will be worry-free for a while, so he will not return to the army to rescue, but continue to increase his troops to the north, and fight to the city of Nanjing to see if you panic, and see if you can withdraw Anqing's troops and horses to help!

The officers and soldiers only relied on some tricks and abduction to occupy Wuhu City, and Lao Tzu besieged the city with a strong posture to recapture it, so that the officers and soldiers in Nanjing could see Lao Tzu's strength! Bai Wang stared at the topographic map on the table, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a sneer.

But soon the brows wrinkled again, there is Qingge River in the south of Wuhu City, this is a natural risk, now Wuhu City is lost, this river defense can not be lost, if the officers and soldiers advance to hold the river defense line, he wants to fight over, it will be difficult, should quickly pass the order to Wang Tizhong, to make the siege of Wuhu City die, so that the officers and soldiers have no chance to get out of the city...... The worst of them cannot retreat to the south bank of the river.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to send someone to give an order, the soldiers outside shouted that there was an urgent report.

Wang Tizhong is about to surrender, and the people of Dongchang are slaughtered!

With a sigh in the king's body, he stood up and grabbed the soaked thief army: "What do you say, explain it clearly to Lao Tzu."

This thief army is one of the sixteen people around him who placed only the king's body, and after seeing that the king's body had the intention of surrendering and discussing with others, he first reported that Bai Wang was psychologically prepared, so he said what he knew, and it was actually seven or eight out of ten things that the king and Wang Zamao discussed: "I am afraid that the king's body has fallen at this time."

Bai Wang was dumbfounded, staggered back a few steps, sat on a chair, looked at the dark night sky outside the door, and was speechless for a long time.

In the king's body, his most trusted and strongest subordinate was going to betray him, which made him difficult to accept for a while, and he couldn't understand why he surrendered!

There is also the great eunuch of Dongchang, who has defeated Li Zicheng several times in a row in the north, and some people say that he has led reinforcements south, and it is obvious that the loss of Wuhu City is his masterpiece.

No wonder, no wonder! Let's just say that Lu Daqi and the group of straw bales in Nanjing City don't have the means and skills!

Bai Wang was very sad and angry, but he reminded himself in his heart that he must be calm, he must be calm, although Wang Tizhong is hateful, but the current situation is more important, he must deal with it calmly, otherwise he will step into a catastrophe with a wrong step.

The reinforcements from the north on the west bank of the Yangtze River are rushing to Anqing as expected, but they can't help Anqing Mansion for a while, and the east bank is much more complicated at the moment.

Although it is not certain that the king will surrender now, he must prepare for the worst, and after his surrender...... Chizhou Mansion!

Bai Wang stood up and walked to the door and shouted, "Go and call the king of Hades."

The surname of the king of Hades is Wang Mingen, one of Bai Wang's subordinate generals, who is cruel and vicious, so the king of Hades calls himself. Summoned late at night, Wang Yien knew that there must be something important, but he didn't expect that it was Wang Tizhong who surrendered.

"This shit, the big handsome is so good to him...... Wolf-hearted and dog-hearted things......" Wang Yien scolded, Bai Wang smiled bitterly: "The best plan at the moment is that he just surrendered by fraud and will not be able to say that he will be an army, and the worst plan is that he has already surrendered...... My people only discovered the secret in the afternoon, and at that time the officers and soldiers were preparing to attack, and if Wang Tizhong was undefeated, he might not surrender, but if he did, he was afraid that they had already sent troops south! ”

"Even if he descends, will the officers and soldiers go south so quickly?" Wang Yien frowned: "I've seen a lot of grinding and chirping of officers and soldiers over the years, but I've never seen anyone so refreshing."

Bai Wang smiled bitterly: "If other people should say otherwise, but that person slaughters the great eunuch, he can defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of King Chuang by himself, how can he be a good person, he will take the opportunity to send troops south to occupy Fanchang and Tongling before I react!" He said with a wry smile and said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that Fanchang has fallen into his hands at this time."

Wang Yien finally understood: "What does the marshal mean that we should quickly send troops to occupy Tongling before him?" ”

Bai Wang nodded: "The soldiers are fast, you immediately raise two thousand cavalry to Tongling as fast as possible, you must not let the officers and soldiers occupy it first, otherwise once the officers and soldiers occupy Tongling, the army will attack Chizhou, we are already attacked on both sides, if Chizhou also loses the retreat, the way will be broken!" ”

"Don't worry, even if Tongling is occupied by officers and soldiers, you will take it back!" Wang Yien gritted his teeth and did not forget to scold Wang Tizhong.

"You go first, Ben Shuai will arrive later!" Bai Wangqian advised: "Remember, don't let Tongling fall into the hands of officers and soldiers!" ”
