Outside the city of Nanjing. An army of nearly 10,000 arrived. This army is the soldiers of the Jiangbei battalion led by Li Zhen. In order to avoid the uncertainty of Chen Yucheng coming back with his soldiers to rescue, Li Zhen led the army to rush day and night, and arrived at the Taiping Gate, where the northeast of Nanjing City was located, in the shortest possible time.

When the army arrived, they rushed straight to the Taiping Gate.

This action made the defenders on the tower of Taipingmen very nervous, and they were all waiting for it.

Li Zhen rode on his horse, looking at the soldiers standing at the front, and a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth. He had already set a strategy for attacking Nanjing, and he only needed to execute it. Everything went according to his plan.

The soldiers at the front of the formation were not carrying guns, but were armed with curved bows and arrows in their hands. In fact, the soldiers led by Li Zhen did not carry these weapons because they were disguised as guards. However, after Li Zhen led more than 8,000 soldiers to leave the Jiangbei camp, the soldiers in charge of logistics had quietly escorted weapons to Nanjing from another road.

Therefore, Li Zhen was able to equip the bow and crossbow and musket in the shortest possible time. All the soldiers with curved bows had only one bow and arrow in their hands, and a note was tied to the bow and arrow.

Obviously, Li Zhen had the soldiers shoot with a purpose.

Li Zhen saw thousands of soldiers standing under the city tower and ordered: "Shoot!" ”

The order was given, and the soldiers conveyed it.

A moment later, the order had reached the ears of the soldiers in the front row.

"Whew! Shout!! ……”

One after another, bows and arrows came out of the string, and the dense bows and arrows flew out like a pouring rain. The sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air lingered in my ears, and the dense rain of arrows came into view. As soon as the first rain of arrows was fired, the soldiers standing in the first row immediately retreated, and the soldiers in the second row began to shoot arrows at the castle tower.

In this way, ten waves of attacks were carried out in a row, and Li Zhen ordered the soldiers to retreat.

Nearly nine thousand soldiers turned around and retreated in order.

On the city tower, the soldiers defending the city were all relieved when they saw the retreat of the army. However, when the soldiers saw the scattered bows and arrows on the castle tower, they immediately found the notes tied to the bows and arrows. The soldiers picked up their bows and arrows, opened the note, and saw its contents.

"Tomorrow, the army will attack the city!"

On the note, six simple characters came into the soldier's eyes. This news made the faces of the soldiers who saw the news look shocked. Immediately, the soldiers began to chatter again.

"Li Zhen defeated General Chen, and now he is attacking the Taiping Gate, can we stop it?"

"I can't stop it, I don't think I can stop it."

"Well, I don't think it's stoppable. Think about it, the king of Dong was defeated by Li Zhen, the king of Yan was defeated, and General Chen was also defeated. Now that Li Zhenlai is attacking Taipingmen, I think it can't be stopped. At this, the soldier lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Brother, brother will give you a reminder." The most important thing is to act tomorrow and try to save your life. It's better to die than to live, to live, and there will be anything. ”

The other soldier nodded, and said no more.

Wang Buyi, the general who defended the city, didn't ask about what the soldiers were talking about, but he could already guess what the soldiers were talking about. He himself had no hope and could not forbid it.

Wang Buyi did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the city.

The news of Li Zhen's attack on Nanjing tomorrow was extremely important, and Wang Buyi did not dare to hide it. Moreover, in order to guard the city gate, Wang Buyi also needs someone to help guard the Taiping Gate. Wang Buyi rode a horse, galloped all the way, and after coming to the Heavenly King's Mansion, he told the news to the guards outside the Heavenly King's Mansion. When it came to the safety of Nanjing City, the guards immediately went to report it.

After a short time, the guards walked out, entered the palace with Wang Buyi, and came to the Heavenly King Palace.

Wang Buyi knelt on the ground with a thud and saluted Hong Xiuquan.

Hong Xiuquan was wearing a dragon robe and gown, sitting upright, waving his hand with a majestic expression to let Wang Buyi get up, and asked: "Li Zhen attacked Nanjing, you are not guarding the Taiping Gate, what are you doing here to find the widow?" ”

The corners of Wang Buyi's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that he could block Li Zhen, would I still report it?

However, he obviously did not dare to say that.

Wang Buyi became more and more respectful, and said loudly: "Back to the Heavenly King, Li Zhen has already issued a war letter, and he will attack the city tomorrow." The minister implored the Heavenly King to send a part of the army to support the Taipingmen, otherwise it would be difficult to resist Li Zhen's army with the strength of our Taipingmen. As he spoke, Wang Buyi handed the note tied to the bow and arrow to the eunuch, who handed it over.

Hong Xiuquan read the note, his face changed greatly, and his majestic expression disappeared cleanly.

He slapped on the dragon chair and shouted: "Arrogant, really arrogant!" Li Zhen is really arrogant. He took a deep breath and shouted, "King Chuan'an, King Fu, and Lars have come to the palace of the Heavenly King to discuss matters. "Hong Xiuquan has a set of power skills, but he is not good at managing political affairs, and Xu Yuan is not in the city, so he can only bring Lars, Hong Renfa and others to discuss.

About fifteen minutes later, Lars, An Wang Hong Renfa and Fu Wang Hong Renda all came. After the three of them saw the ceremony, Hong Renfa asked, "Brother Wang, is there anything to do with us?" ”

Hong Xiuquan said what happened just now, and said with a serious expression: "Li Zhen's army is going to attack Taipingmen, Wang Buyi asks for support, what do you think?" ”

An Wang Hong Renfa immediately said: "Support, support immediately, we can't let Li Zhen break through Nanjing." ”

Hong Renda also said: "Yes, support immediately!" ”

Without any thought, the two agreed to support. Because Li Zhen wanted to attack the Taiping Gate, they naturally had to send soldiers to resist it, and they couldn't let the Taiping Gate be breached.

Hong Xiuquan listened to the opinions of the two and shook his head in his heart.

The advice of these two people is too superficial. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Mr. Lars, what do you think?" ”

Lars said without humility or arrogance: "Heavenly King, I do not agree with the suggestions of King An and King Fu. ”

"What?"

Hong Renfa and Hong Renda were like cats with their tails stepped on, and they exclaimed at the same time. Hong Ren's face turned red, and he was even more excited and said loudly: "Lars, when we came together, you also said that you must support Taipingmen. Now, how do you change your tone, you say? Why is that? ”

In fact, they had all received the news of Li Zhen's attack on Taipingmen.

Seeing this, a hint of gloom flashed between Hong Xiuquan's eyebrows, it seems that these people know it! He didn't know it alone, Hong Xiuquan was slightly cold in his heart, and asked, "Mr. Lars, tell me what you think." ”

"Yes, say it!" Hong Renfa asked.

Hong Renda said again: "Say it quickly! ”

The repeated words of the two made Hong Xiuquan very unhappy. Hong Xiuquan's expression was cold, and he shouted: "Shut up!" If you don't interject, no one will treat you as dumb. ”

After this big drink, Hong Renfa and Hong Renda didn't dare to speak anymore.

Lars looked calm and said lightly: "The reason why I disagree is because I can't be sure of Li Zhen's intentions. Li Zhen said with great fanfare on the surface that he was going to attack the Taiping Gate, but if we transferred all the soldiers to the Taiping Gate, but Li Zhen changed the city gate to attack, wouldn't we have been tricked? Therefore, I do not agree to support. ”

Hong Xiuquan asked, "Mr. Lars said it well, what do you think should happen next?" ”
