The welcoming army did not welcome the holy car, so that the emperor and his entourage waited for half a month in the shirt pass, and was finally caught by the Qing soldiers, and indirectly killed Wang Yan's henchman Wang Wei, who offended the Ming Emperor, and even offended Wang Yan, the prince of Chu who held the power of the imperial court.

The roads in Guizhou are difficult to navigate, and outsiders can't figure things out at all after entering, Zhang Xianbi and others are still a little shocked when they see the East Route Army chasing after the city so quickly, because they have been in Guizhou for more than half a year, and they have not fully understood the terrain of Guizhou.

On the city wall, Zhang Xianbi and Huang Chaoxuan's faces were as cold as water, and around him, the generals gathered, without exception, all of them were crying and mourning, and their faces were full of gloom.

The soldiers of the East Route are coming to the city, and now they can't escape even if they want to. Moreover, Wang Ji, the vanguard general of the Eastern Route Army, had already submitted a letter to the city, ordering them to accept the command of the imperial court and hand over Zhang and Huang.

Although Wang Ji is not well-known, the people in the city dare not take his words as a deaf ear, because Wang Ji is an old man from the Yangzhou department, his brother Wang Shixiu is Wang Yan's governor of the town, and the other cousin Wang Xu is the master of the Heishui Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society, in charge of the intelligence of the Northland, so what he said is most likely what Wang Yan meant, because no one thinks he said anything big.

"Damn, there are only more than 10,000 people in the city, and there are 20,000 brothers in the city. Huang Chaoxuan suddenly scolded.

"General, don't underestimate Wang Ji, this person once guarded Yuezhou with Zhang Tai's servants, with 10,000 brave camps and 20,000 strong people, resisted the day and night siege of 70,000 elites of Luck Dehun. Moreover, Wang Ji is only a striker, and there is a long-standing Gao Gong behind him, he followed Li Chuang to fight in various places, after a long time in battle, after he defected to the Duke of Chu, he defended Xiangfan with 30,000 horses, and blocked the attack of 100,000 male soldiers of Azig and Wu Sangui, which can be described as world-shattering. Now that they have brought tens of thousands of elites over, how can the soldiers and generals in my city fight? The person who said this was Zhang Xianbi's deputy general Wang Jiye, who should have commanded the troops and arranged the defense at this moment, but when the Eastern Route Army arrived in the city, he was shocked that he had no fighting spirit.

The surrounding generals and colonels all thought so, they were very self-aware, and they were not as shameless as Huang Chaoxuan, saying that Wang Ji was a nobody, as if he had won some battles himself.

Huang Chaoxuan turned back suddenly when he heard the words, his sharp gaze swept over the subordinates, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You wait for Hugh to have two hearts, what we do, we can't redeem even a hundred deaths, don't think that if you sell your general, you can be forgiven, even if you wait to tie yourself up and ask for guilt, the Ming court will not spare you." ”

When many officers heard this, they lowered their heads one after another, neither echoing nor refuting, they actually recognized Wang Jiye's words very much in their hearts, Wang Ji and Gao Yigong had fought big battles and had a good reputation, but on the other hand, Huang Chaoxuan and Zhang Xianbi had no advantage at all, so why did they think they could compete with the East Route Army.

The most important thing is that they don't want to fight, and they can't stand up, Huang and Zhang are the main generals, and the people below are just obeying the arrangements of the main general.

The law does not blame the public, it is impossible for the imperial court to kill all 20,000 people, and Wang Ji passed on the book, and only said that the two generals should be tried in Guangjing, and it was not difficult for them, and once they fought against the Eastern Route Army, the identity of the rebels would be confirmed, and they obviously could not defeat the Eastern Route Army.

However, Huang Chaoxuan's words also have some truth, he sold the emperor, the monarch's heart is unpredictable, who knows if the emperor will hold a grudge?

After Huang Chaoxuan finished speaking, the generals were silent for a while, which made Zhang Xianbi on the side frown, it is necessary to give his subordinates a reassurance, otherwise he is very likely to be sold by these white-eyed wolves, "In today's situation, as long as we can't hold on, we still have a great chance." As you know, the situation in Guizhou is extremely barren, and the grain has long been looted by us, and the grain of Gao Yigong and Wang Ji can only be transported from Hunan, but from Hunan it is all mountain roads, and if you transport one stone, you have to eat 20 stones on the road, and if we guard it for a few months, they will have to run out of food and retreat. When the time comes, you will still follow the general and be the emperor here, wouldn't you be happy? ”

At present, stabilizing people's hearts is the most important thing, Huang Chaoxuan also said: "What General Zhang said makes sense, and even if we can't hold it, we have another way out." Didn't the Qing army conquer Sichuan? I'm in a hurry, I'm going to take you to Sichuan to surrender! ”

When he said this, many generals changed their faces, they were all Chu people, their families were still in Huguang, and they didn't dare to rebel, where did they dare to surrender, but Zhang and Huang still had some henchmen in the army, and some generals were indeed worried that the imperial court would settle accounts after the autumn, so they didn't dare to object, for fear of being killed by Zhang and Huang.

Huang, Zhang, the two were determined to resist, ordered their subordinates to mobilize troops to the city, and held on to the end, but most of the soldiers did not want to resist, most of them were Chu people, and followed the two to a barren place like Guizhou, and the generals searched the place to eat and drink spicy, but their quality of life was greatly reduced.

On May 20, the main force of Gao Yigong joined forces with Wang Ji's department.

"Governor, Zhang Xianbi and Huang Chaoxuan have not shown any signs of being arrested so far, and they seem to be ready to resist to the end, but many generals in the city have submitted letters to go out of the city as an internal response." In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Yigong lifted his robe and hung it on the shelf, Wang Ji hugged his fists and reported, "In addition, these days, the last general has built a batch of equipment, since Zhang and Huang disobey the emperor's orders, the last general thinks that they can attack the city." ”

After hearing this, Gao Yigong touched a handful of sweat on his forehead, and after a little thought, he walked out and said, "Go and see." ”

At that moment, the generals followed him, went out of the camp, went to peep at the city defense, and ran until they were hundreds of steps away from the city before stopping, overlooking Shiqian City in the distance.

This Guizhou and the Central Plains, Huguang is indeed not compared, although Shiqian is a city, but in his opinion, even a small county town in Huguang can not be compared, the dilapidated city in front of him, not to mention the city wall is low, many outside the collapse, the city on the horse, the enemy tower is not there, not to mention the moat.

Although the city wall is full of people, in the eyes of these battle-hardened generals of the Eastern Route Army, Zhang and Huang want to rely on such a city defense to resist stubbornly, and they are simply local chickens and dogs who sell their heads.

The East Route Army does have the ability to despise Huang and Zhang, they are not field elites in the battle sequence of the Ming Dynasty, they were only local security forces, and later the four towns of Jiangbei and Wuchang Zuozhen were all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial court had no elite soldiers, so they were hurriedly expanded, so the combat power can be imagined.

Gao Yigong looked around, and there were no extra words: "Wang Ji, this governor will give you a day to break the city, and capture Huang and Zhang to see them!" ”

"De Ling," the generals shouted in unison.
