Anti Qing

Chapter 118
"Army Gate!"

Several people stepped forward and blocked Wang Guangen's way.

"Go away!"

"I'm going to rush out and chop them alive!"

Wang Guangen still looked furious, and the saber tightly clenched in his hand reflected a little bit of cold light under the moonlight, shocking many soldiers around him.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to touch his brow at this moment.

Wang Guangen just rushed a few steps away, but another person faced the difficulties, stood up suddenly, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Big brother!"

"Don't be arrogant. Futai wants me to pretend to attack Xiangyang. Now that the bandits from Xiangyang have come out, it's exactly Futai's plan."

"If you insist on going your own way, let alone whether you can defeat the army of rogues outside the city, or if it is revealed that our army is not the main attack, then it will be too late for Li Zijing to bring all the thieves back to Xiangyang!"

Wang Guangen looked at his second brother Wang Guangtai, and his heart was touched a little. After a long time, he sighed heavily, and looked at the prairie fire outside the city with hatred.

"Ugh!"

"Does it mean that I am a man of seven feet, and I have to sit and watch these rogues outside the city jump on the beam and insult me?"

"I am unwilling!"

Wang Guangtai naturally understood his brother's thoughts, knowing that most of them had been persuaded to return, he immediately got up, stood by his side, and stared out of the city.

"Don't worry, brother, the Qing army is coming to Nanyang. These rogues in Xiangyang are at the end of their way. Now they are coming out in full force, which proves that Futai's conjecture is true."

"They are like grasshoppers after autumn, ants on a hot pot, and they will not be able to hop for a few days."

"At that time, the three of my brothers can lead the army under their command and negotiate a surrender price with Naduoduo and Haoge."

"I heard that the Qing army gave generous treatment to the generals who led the troops to surrender. This is also a way out. Now that the Ming court is gone, Nanjing is overwhelmed and precarious!"

Now that most of Wang Guangen's temper had dissipated, he turned around immediately.

"Surrender to the Qing army? Then Gao Doushu regards himself as a loyal minister and filial son all day long, how could he agree?"

Wang Guangtai sneered and shook the saber on his waist.

"He can't help but disagree. The military power in Yunyang is in the hands of my three brothers. Gao Doushu is willing to be his loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, so let him do it."

"It doesn't matter if he goes to martyrdom or resists stubbornly, we will lead our own soldiers and surrender to us, and we will not cross the river with him."

Wang Guangen stared slightly, sighed, and said that he had no choice but to do so, then suddenly remembered something, and said with regret.

"As for Gao Doushu, there is no need to kill them all. He is both civil and military, and has a strong sense of loyalty. He is quite prestigious in the Yunyang army. If he is bound and killed, my three brothers' reputation may be bad."

Wang Guangtai also nodded.

"Gao Doushu is indeed worthy of the name of a famous minister, and he is also kind to my three brothers. If he is not willing to surrender, let him go."

At this time, Wang Guangen's attention had been completely diverted, and he lost his temper. He turned around and walked up the city wall, shouting orders along the way.

"Pass my military order, anyone who goes out of the city to fight without authorization, beheaded!"

"Follow the orders of the military gate!"

Most of the generals around them came from bandits with the three brothers of the Wang family. Although they have been in the Ming military system for many years, they have never lost their old habits.

Instigated by the Shunjun outside the city, they couldn't hold back for a long time, but seeing that Wang Guangen had given up, they all had to obey the order and retreated angrily.

Wu Zhaosheng was wearing golden lacquer mountain armor, and under the moonlight, there was a little bit of golden light, but after waiting for a while, he saw that there was no movement at the top of the city, and he was a little puzzled.

A department head also asked strangely: "The Ming army, why is there no movement at all, could it be that they have seen through the plan to control the general?"

"General, what should our army do next?"

Those who are interested can find that the head of the department asked Wu Zhaosheng for his opinion, but did not go back to find Li Zijing. That was because Li Zijing was not in Gucheng at this time.

When Li Zijing arrived at the outskirts of Gucheng in the middle of the night, he split up with Wu Zhaosheng, led all the elite, and went straight to Yunyang Fucheng without stopping.

Wu Zhaosheng also knew that this dispatch of troops was a gamble.

The front battalion was already understaffed, not to mention that Liu Tichun's garrison was miserable, they had to stay in Xiangyang and not move lightly.

In this game with Gao Doushu, Li Zijing only used his front battalion, that is, more than 2 regular troops, and the original Dashun garrison was left in Xiangyang to prevent accidents.

The troops were already much weaker than the opponent, and the troops were divided into three groups. It must be said that Li Zijing's tenacity was different from ordinary people.

Even Wu Zhaosheng couldn't help feeling admiration from the bottom of his heart when he recalled Li Zijing's heroic words when he raised his account yesterday.

"Before receiving the general's order, act according to the original plan."

"Pass down the order to station four camps around Gucheng, tie the horse's tail to willow branches, and run around inside and outside the camp, day and night."

"Tell the captains of the other four battalions that our 6000 people will create a momentum of 2 people, and delay the offensive of General Zhi and Brother Hao in Yunyang and Jingzhou!"

Wu Zhaosheng watched the sentry go away, Wei Wei was born.

The 6000 people he brought were mostly recruits from the former battalion, and only more than 1000 were old-fashioned soldiers. Once the Ming army in the city risked their lives to fight out of the city, it would be useless.

He didn't know if he could seduce Wang Guangen's mind, but the matter had come to this point, with only [-] people in the front battalion, there was only this desperate way of fighting.

Wu Zhaosheng knew that Li Zijing was not going to fight this time, he was looking for Gao Doushu to fight for his life, and if Yunyang couldn't take it down, everyone would be buried with him.

This battle is a battle related to the life and death of the former battalion in Huguang!
When the former battalion first arrived in Huguang, their prestige was not enough to command the Dashun army, so they needed a decent victory to tell them who is the savior of Huguang!

With an order, the front battalion soldiers outside the city divided into four groups, rushed to the surroundings of Gucheng respectively, and set up camps everywhere with great fanfare.

In the valleys around Gucheng, sparks of fire never ceased even for a moment, they rushed to and fro in an endless stream, it seemed as if tens of thousands of troops were rushing among them, breathtaking.

It's just such a big momentum, but there is no sign of attacking.

In the early morning of the next day, thunderous war drums sounded at the front battalion at the four gates of Gucheng. The Ming army at the head of the city could see it from a distance.

They shouted back and forth, arousing smoke and dust to cover the sun, and the banners were so prosperous that they reached the sky!
Wang Guangen was also woken up in his deep sleep. He climbed to the top of the city, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the huge camp in the northern city. Li Zijing's big black banner was waving in the wind.

The front battalion in the camp is burying pots for cooking.

When the lieutenant-general was watching, he was taken aback.

"Junmen, judging by the number of smoke rising and rolling, there are probably more than 1 bandits outside the northern city!"

Coupled with the fact that the front battalion deliberately provoked him to fight last night, as well as the overnight movement outside the city, Wang Guangen did not have the slightest doubt.

"Pass down my military orders and act according to the original plan. The thieves will retreat and I will advance, and the thieves will surround me and guard. When the third brother reports back in Jingzhou, I will go all out and take down these thieves!"
