Chapter 779: Bad News Shocks Nanchang

Nanchang Mansion, now, Zuo Liangyu has taken Nanchang for more than ten days, won Nanchang Mansion, Zuo Liangyu is still not satisfied, the soldiers are divided into three roads, all the way to Ruizhou, all the way to Fuzhou, all the way to Raozhou, the three state capitals are close to Nanchang and Jiujiang Mansion, Zuo Liangyu is to connect the five state capitals together, first establish their own stable rear, and then Xing troops go north, straight to Nanjing.

Zuo Liangyu is not confused at all, there is no stable rear, he is a tree without roots, a source of water, the Qing army is far away from two thousand miles, in a short period of time, he can't count on it at all, at most, it is to help him contain the Tianwei army in the Central Plains, Jiangxi, you still have to rely on yourself, if you don't have a stable logistics supply, I'm afraid that you won't last long, and the army will fall apart!

However, Zuo Liangyu did not expect that Sun Chuanting would send troops so quickly, advancing all the way from Nanjing to Jiujiang, it only took twelve days, this is not enough, it only took less than two days to completely occupy Jiujiang Mansion, and even his henchman Han Long was killed by Gao Jie, and the 10,000-strong army disappeared like this.

Zuo Liangyu is planning, after taking the three mansions, he will move troops to the south again, and take Linjiang Mansion all the way, in that case, he will have the land of the five mansions, occupy half of Jiangxi, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the people of Jiangxi Province are rich, even if Zhu Jie is powerful, he can only sigh, what can he do? Now there are not many troops in Nanjing at all, even the right town of Nanjing and the left town of Nanjing have been transferred to the Central Plains, only one of the former towns of Nanjing is left to maintain the defense of Nanjing, I heard that it is preparing to build the back town of Nanjing, but even if the preparations are completed, it is just a group of peasants who have just gathered, but I am afraid that they can't even pull the bow, how can they be compared with their elite divisions?

Even if the front town of Nanjing and the back town of Nanjing poured out, they didn't have to worry at all, wouldn't they have forty or fifty thousand Ming troops? I have more than 100,000 troops under my command, and I occupy four or five state capitals, millions of people, and I can expand the army at any time.

Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng discussed the next step of the march, and at this time, the guerrilla general Zuo Menghuan hurriedly rushed into the governor's yamen and shouted urgently: "Dashuai, Dashuai, it's not good!" ”

Zuo Liangyu frowned and shouted, "What's wrong?" Panicked! ”

Zuo Menghuan hurriedly said: "Marshal, the imperial court has sent troops, and Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the military department, personally led the front town of Nanjing and the back town of Nanjing, sent troops to Jiujiang, and tens of thousands of troops besieged Jiujiang Mansion!" ”

"What?"

Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng both stood up, their faces full of shock, too fast, too fast, right? How long has it been? From Zhu Jie's decree to the present, it has only been more than half a month, and now Sun Chuanting has already come to Jiujiang City!

Zuo Menghuan hurriedly said: "Dashuai, Han Long sent cavalry to urgently ask for help, and asked Dashuai to send troops to help quickly, if it is slow, Jiujiang Mansion will not be able to save it......"

"It's fine!"

Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, although he was shocked, he could still hold on, and said in a deep voice: "Even if Sun Chuanting has tens of thousands of troops besieging Jiujiang Town, Jiujiang Town has left Han Long with 10,000 troops, even if it is not Sun Chuanting's opponent, at least not ten days and half a month, Sun Chuanting will not be able to take Nanchang Mansion!" However, Sun Chuanting actually brought out the front town of Nanjing and the back town of Nanjing in one go, which was really unexpected to me, the two military towns were brought out of Nanjing, and now there is no one to guard Nanjing, Zhu Jie is not afraid that someone will make trouble in Nanjing at this time? Half a month, hehe, this Sun Chuanting is really as difficult as before, he is well versed in the art of war, the so-called soldiers are fast, and they don't leave us time to react at all! ”

Zuo Mengeng said in a deep voice: "Father, Sun Chuanting is a generation of famous generals, he has been a great enemy for a long time, and now he has a strong army, and the child is really afraid that Han Long will not be able to withstand it......"

Zuo Liangyu nodded and replied: "Well, indeed, Han Long is definitely not Sun Chuanting's opponent, however, Sun Chuanting wants to take Jiujiang and it is not a day or two to succeed, we still have time, from Jiujiang to Nanchang, but more than two hundred miles away, marching with all our might, we can rush to Jiujiang Mansion in three days, in time, and now, we have taken Ruizhou, Raozhou and Fuzhou, Raozhou is less than two hundred miles away from Jiujiang, we only need to advance two ways together, and move quickly towards Jiujiang, He, Sun Chuanting, can only be honestly blocked out of Jiujiang Mansion by us! ”

Zuo Liangyu has the confidence to charge, Nanjing Qianzhen has good combat power, he knows this, for Zhong Yue, he is also a long-time famous, this is one of the few generals in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is only Nanjing Qianzhen, but more than 20,000 troops, there is no wind and waves first, his own elite, is not for nothing, as for Nanjing Houzhen, even if there are fifty or sixty thousand people, it is useless, a group of recruits, even if it is their own partial division, they can defeat it!

Zuo Mengeng said in a deep voice: "Father, let's be careful, after all, Sun Chuanting is too difficult to deal with......"

Zuo Liangyu nodded and said: "Well, Meng Geng is more stable than before, and ordered Lu Ting of Raozhou to lead 20,000 people under his command to advance towards Jiujiang Mansion, don't be too anxious, march slowly, in case of being attacked by Sun Chuanting's elite; Meng Geng personally led 30,000 elites to Jiujiang in the north this time, and the military affairs of the entire Jiujiang were all controlled by you, so you must be careful! ”

Zuo Mengeng hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and said in a deep voice: "The child must live up to his father's trust!" ”

Zuo Mengeng went down to send someone to Lu Ting to give orders, and on the other hand, he gathered troops in Nanchang City to prepare for the expedition.

It's just that the army has not yet been assembled, and things have already changed!

Zuo Menghuan turned back to the governor's yamen again - "Handsome, handsome!" The big thing is not good, Jiujiang has fallen, Jiujiang has fallen! ”

What the?

Zuo Liangyu jumped up and shouted angrily: "Zuo Menghuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I just got an urgent report from Han Long asking for help this morning, and I lost Jiujiang at night? How can it be? ”

Zuo Menghuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said urgently: "Dashuai, it's true, Han Long only lasted for a day and a night, Jiujiang Jiujiang Mansion was lost, the firearms of the Ming army were too powerful, forty or fifty artillery pieces were used, and there were a large number of muskets, the soldiers of Jiujiang City couldn't support it at all, and they fled one after another, Han Long had no choice but to lead the army to flee, and as a result, he was ambushed by Gao Jie Nanjing Houzhen more than ten miles south of the city, and the 10,000 army was wiped out, and even Han Long was beheaded by Gao Jie on the spot! ”
