The waterway from Yangzhou to Guazhou is extremely easy to walk due to flooding, but after arriving at Guazhou, it is much more difficult to go from the waterway to Nanjing.

From Guazhou to Nanjing, it is against the current, but the tailwind is good, if it is against the wind, it is extremely difficult to travel, and it takes three or four days to travel more than 100 miles. Therefore, most of the army will choose to cross the Yangtze River from Guazhou to Zhenjiang, and then from Zhenjiang to Nanjing, this distance is only 120 or 30 miles, and the army can arrive in two days on a normal march and one day on a rapid march.

In Zhenjiang, Chen Yue divided the army into two, led by Wang Yin and generals Lu Tai and Wu Ping, commanding 500 warships and 20,000 sailors to go upriver from the waterway to the outside of Nanjing, the task was to annihilate the Qing army's sailors and cut off the Qing army's escape to Jiangbei.

Chen Yue himself led an army of 40,000 people, with Yu Feng's cavalry battalion as the vanguard, and marched to Nanjing by land.

At the same time, fast horses were sent to Nanjing to deliver a message, ordering the defenders of Nanjing to attack and prevent the Qing army from escaping.

Qilin Gate, the general manager of the city head just hesitated, and was kicked by the garrison boss next to him.

"Bastard, didn't you see that it was a messenger sent by the Pingnan Army to report on the military situation? Don't open the gates and lower the drawbridge! ”

"Yes, sir!" The general hurriedly went down to open the city gate, shook the roller himself, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered and erected on the moat.

The knights of the Pingnan Army outside the city didn't say much, and Pegasus went to the city.

"Brother, what's going on?" The garrison officer asked casually, not prepared to get an answer, because the military situation of the Pingnan Army was not qualified to be known by this small garrison.

"The Pingnan army has won a great victory, and the 100,000 Qing troops have become fish and turtles!"

Who knew that the knight would answer in a loud voice, and as he spoke, he rode down the street towards the inner city.

It turned out to be a great victory, and the garrison officer was stunned, no wonder the knight would answer. Then there was a shock, 100,000 Qing troops were all fish and turtles, what happened here?

In the cabinet of the imperial city, the first assistant Shi Kefa looked at the documents in his hand, and his body trembled. Lu Zhenfei and Qian Qianyi also disregarded their identities, gathered beside Shi Kefa, and stretched out their heads to look at the handwriting on the paperwork.

"100,000 Qing troops are all fish and turtles, and 100,000 Qing troops are all fish and turtles......" Shi Kefa muttered, and the smile on his face became more and more popular.

"Go and deliver a letter to Your Majesty, and make him happy." Shi Kefa remembered something, and hurriedly instructed the waiting officials.

"There are two copies of the report, and one has been sent to Miyagi by the Jinyi guard on duty." The clerk said respectfully.

"Hahaha......" Shi Kefa laughed happily, and Lu Zhenfei and Qian Qianyi also laughed happily together.

A flood wiped out 100,000 Qing troops, so that the Pingnan army could come to the aid with all their might, and Nanjing would be as stable as Mount Tai. After solving the Qing army along the way, the Ming Dynasty can go all out to deal with the other Qing army on the west road, and the morale is high under the big victory, and it is not a problem to defeat the Qing army on the other road.

"Two elders, let's discuss what to do next, whether to send troops out of the city to contain the Qing army outside the city at the request of Pingnanhou." Shi Kefa said with a smile.

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen repeatedly looked at the report in his hand, and couldn't believe it for a long time.

Is this true? Is it true?

Chongzhen muttered to himself.

Since he ascended the throne, for a full eighteen years, the Ming Dynasty has lost to Jiannu one after another, and the elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, Qijia Army, and White Pole Soldiers on the nine sides have all been defeated by Jiannu, and countless famous generals and marshals have died in the army. The national strength of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, so the thieves sat big, and the Beijing division did not defend it.

For so many years, what Chongzhen wanted to see most was the document of success, and what he wanted to hear most was victory. But with the development of time, the victory of Jiannu has become a luxury.

And now under the attack of the Qing army on the two roads, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is in danger, Chongzhen has long been desperate in his heart, and he is ready to martyrdom.

However, just when he was extremely desperate, there was such a big surprise, which made Chongzhen can't believe it, for fear that it will be empty when he turns his head.

"Han Daban, am I dreaming?" Chongzhen turned his head and asked Han Zanzhou beside him.

"Long live the lord, can you pinch your body and see if it hurts?" Han Zanzhou said with a smile, even this eunuch was in a very good mood under the big victory, and he dared to joke with Chongzhen.

"Ah......" Before the words fell, Chongzhen stretched out his hand and twisted Han Zanzhou's handle, and Han Zanzhou, who was twisted straight, let out a terrible scream.

It wasn't a dream! Looking at Han Zanzhou's painfully deformed face, listening to the screams like killing pigs, Chongzhen had a smile on his face.

It turned out that he really won!

"Set up the cabinet, I want to discuss with the cabinet elders about the annihilation of the Qing army outside the city at the invitation of Chen Yue!"

Chongzhen commanded repeatedly, and in surprise, he didn't even want to wait for the time to summon a few cabinet elders over, and even went to the cabinet in person.

"Yes, Hooray." Han Zanzhou hurriedly went to shout for Bu Yuan, and rubbed his bruised waist that was pinched as he walked.

......

In the barracks outside the Guanyin Gate, Zheng Sen looked at the order from the cabinet in his hand, and his face changed, with shock, surprise, and a hint of jealousy.

The Pingnan army actually won the battle of 100,000 Qing troops, which was a great thing for the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Sen was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.

can think that the Pingnanhou who is similar to his age has made such a special contribution and has become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. And he couldn't even win a victory, and Zheng Sen was sad when he thought about it.

A faint unwillingness came to my heart, I, Zheng Sen, am also a good man, I can also make contributions, what others can do, I can!

A series of drums sounded, ......and in addition to the troops on duty, the other soldiers in the large battalion quickly gathered.

Zheng Sen was dressed in silver armor and rode on his horse, standing in front of the formation with a serious face.

"Brothers, the 100,000 Qing troops in Yangzhou have been completely annihilated, and the Pingnan Hou Zhengzheng led a large army to Nanjing, the courage of the Qing army has been cold, and now is a good time to annihilate them.

Today, we are going to attack the Qing army, so that the world can see that our Fujian people are also good men! ”

Zheng Sen drew his sword and pointed it at the sky, and Qing Yue's voice echoed in the camp.

"I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the eldest prince and fight to the death with the Qing army!" Guo Ting and Liao Jing intervened to give salutes and replied respectfully.

"I want to listen to the dispatch of the eldest prince!" More than 10,000 soldiers in the camp shouted in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky.

"Open the camp gates, send troops!" With Zheng Sen's order, the camp gate suddenly opened, and more than 10,000 soldiers rushed out of the camp, lined up in an array in the plains, and slowly pressed towards the Qing army camp a few miles away.

Under the defeat of the Qing army, morale will inevitably be low, and now is a good time to annihilate this Qing army, although according to Chen Yue's request, the Ming army in Nanjing only needs to contain the Qing army when it retreats, and prevent it from withdrawing safely.

But Zheng Sen didn't want to wait any longer, he wanted to prove himself in front of the world!
