Indeed, something happened in Nanjing, and when the imperial naval division raided the Great Western Army on the Yangtze River, Ma Shiying led the army under his command all the way south to surround Nanjing City and began to attack Nanjing City.

In today's Nanjing City, there are only less than 1,000 musketeers under Zhao Zhenghang, and then there are 800 elite intelligence officers, and the rest of the combat power is almost not worth mentioning, after all, the Beijing camp is still under construction, not to mention training, the soldiers have not yet been recruited, 20,000 recruits, I haven't even seen blood, how can I fight?

Not only these soldiers, but even the 800 elite forces of the Ministry of Intelligence, those forces are all elites, but they are all small teams to cooperate, and they are proficient in secret means.

Now there is only one general left in the capital who can fight on horseback, Zhao Zhenghang, although Li Yan can also command, but more often, he is just sitting in the center to give advice, let him lead an army alone, to charge into battle, and conquer the city, which is really not what he is best at.

When Jiang Dejing saw the head of the black man under the city, he directly turned his back on his anger, not afraid of death, but worried about the court, there are at least 50,000 troops outside the city, how can this be good? The strength that Nanjing City can take out now, even the new soldiers are only a little more than 20,000, the difference in strength is too great, and although Nanjing City is an important town, but in order to fight against the Manchurian Tartars, almost all the newly made artillery is equipped with the Tianwei Army, the Three Towns of Nanjing and the Imperial Naval Division, but it is above the head of Nanjing City, and now there are almost no red-coated cannons, just some general cannons, the strength is not as good as others, and it is also the majority of recruits, the most important thing is that At this time, the only warlike soldier in Nanjing City, the Imperial Naval Division, was transferred to Anqing and Taiping Mansion to deal with Zhang Xianzhong, how could this Nanjing City be kept?

Zhu Jie couldn't help shaking his head, this Jiang Gong, it's really not good now, he is already a seventy-year-old man, he is old and frail, his ability is not good, but he is still loyal, occupying the position of the first assistant, he is really not good to pull him down, standing in the position of the first assistant, he can't do anything well, this is fatal.

"Come on, go and send Jiang Gong home, and order the imperial doctor to take care of his life and take care of his body."

Zhu Jie hurriedly ordered someone to carry Jiang Dejing down.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is indeed a little tense, if Cha Zhu can't repel Zhang Xianzhong, our situation is really a little tricky......

Li Yan's face on the side also became solemn, the situation is too grim, the only hope now is to clean up Zhang Xianzhong, and then concentrate on dealing with Ma Shiying, but, Zhang Xianzhong is an army of 50,000, all of them are the elite of a hundred battles, if you want to deal with this 50,000 army, the imperial sailors are not sure of victory, after all, the entire imperial sailors, even counting the men, are only five or six thousand, of which the combat strength is less than four thousand, to deal with the elite of the Great Western Army? If you can wipe out all the Great Western Army on the Yangtze River, let alone let the Great Western Army go ashore, on land, as long as there are 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops, you can completely defeat the Imperial Naval Division!

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "Brother Li Yan, don't worry, I am full of confidence in Cha Xuan, the Imperial Naval Division alone has these hundreds, the musket is equipped with 3,000 guns, such a strong strength, if Zhang Xianzhong can not be defeated, then Cha Zhu should jump into the river to commit suicide, as long as Zhang Xianzhong's 50,000 elites are blocked on the Yangtze River, that day, defeating Zhang Xianzhong, almost effortlessly, even if Zhang Xianzhong goes ashore, in a short period of time, it will not be able to recover from the heavy blow at all, Ordered someone to pass on the decree to Cha Xuan and Zheng Haotian, once Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, land on the spot, and be sure to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong's elite in one fell swoop, leaving no trouble, otherwise, there will always be a strong force in our upstream, which is too passive for us. Once the encirclement and suppression of the Great Western Army is over, he will immediately lead the army back to Nanjing City and prepare to encircle and suppress Ma Shiying! ”

Wu Xing, the squire of the military department on the side, hurriedly nodded and ran down, preparing to deliver the decree.

Zhu Jie turned around and said in a low voice: "Brother Li Yan, have all the things at home been arranged?" ”

Li Yan nodded and replied, "There is no problem, but, Your Majesty, are you really sure that you can defeat Ma Shiying?" ”

Before, Li Yan was full of confidence, although it seemed that the defense of Nanjing City was empty, but he knew that in fact, Nanjing City was just an internal strength and an external looseness, and it was the emperor who was suspicious, but obviously, this fire was a bit big, and even Zhang Xianzhong was attracted over, Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Shiying together had more than 100,000 troops, 100,000 people, this is not a joke.

Zhu Jie smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, when the will reaches the hands of Cha Xuan, I am afraid that their battle will already be over, even if Ma Shiying's army is strong, have you ever seen a group of sheep that can bite a wolf to death?" Zhenghang, gather all your musketeers for me, and even the 800 elites of the Intelligence Department will be assigned to you for command, and the battle of Nanjing City will be in the hands of you and Duan Xuan, if you two can't fight well......"

Zhao Zhenghang grinned and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you have confidence in your ministers?" Isn't it a rabble of 50,000? It's not vulnerable at all! The minister has a lot of numbers in his heart, at most seven days, let them fall and scatter! ”

Although Zhao Zhenghang didn't care, but the top and bottom of Nanjing City began to panic, 50,000 troops, who is not afraid? Ma Shiying has been in Fengyang for many years, and he has good means, but he is not an ordinary character, this time it is really enough for Nanjing City to drink a pot.

Ma Shiying only took less than four days, from Fengyang Mansion to Nanjing City, it can be said that the army is fast, in its opinion, it will not take three or five days, Zhang Xianzhong's army will also be under the city, when the time comes, 100,000 troops surround Nanjing City, the fall of Nanjing City is almost a certainty, now is the time for him to show off his might, fuck, some time ago, he was bullied and cried by Zhu Jie, and finally it was time for him to take revenge!

As soon as he arrived at the city of Nanjing, after only a little repair, Ma Shiying ordered the army to launch an attack directly on the city of Nanjing, and the artillery pieces were pulled up from behind, advancing forward, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the north city of Nanjing, and a fierce artillery bombardment began, and a shell whistled from the middle of the sky, and smashed straight towards the city of Nanjing......
