Mao Wenlong flew all over the sky and was finally carried back to Zhenjiang on a stretcher. However, there was silence under Zhenjiang City, and more than 10,000 soldiers were quietly repairing in their military camp.

Mao Wenlong anxiously asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Why not attack? Why let the enemy have a chance to breathe?"

Lu Xiangsheng reported calmly and expressionlessly: "After nearly half a month of attacking, my subordinates discovered that the enemy forces in Zhenjiang City became more courageous as they fought, and their defensive methods were endless, and they were more organized than before. In this way

Once it comes, it will increase the casualties of our soldiers." But the topic changed, "In three days, Zhenjiang will be captured in one fell swoop."

Seeing such confident subordinates, Mao Wenlong felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief while lying on the stretcher: "How will your Excellency take Zhenjiang?"

"There are not many defenders left in Zhenjiang City. The building carts played a huge role in this offensive and defensive battle, but there were not many left after being destroyed by the enemy's cannons on the city top, so I ordered the people behind to work hard day and night.

Build 200 of them and estimate that they will be delivered tomorrow. After some adjustments, they will join in the siege. With 200 of them towering over the city, Zhenjiang City can be destroyed in a blink of an eye.

"Your work efficiency is really very high. This is probably achieved by your taking the lead in everything."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "After discussing the method of employing people with the commander, it suddenly dawned on me that I actively mobilized the capable people under my command and gave full play to their expertise and motivation. At the same time, I also adopted your assembly line operation.

It is only through Fa that we have achieved this amazing achievement. In fact, the credit should belong to you."

"Don't flatter me, it'll make you look stupid. But we need to speed up our actions." Then he looked to the north and said worriedly: "Huang Taiji hit a snag in western Liaoning, and he will definitely find his way back to us.

, a violent storm is coming for Dongjiang Town, and we are not ready yet."

Lu Xiangsheng also knew the cause and effect of the entire plan, and said with worry: "The Guanning cavalry in western Liaoning have not yet been freed from their original strategic thinking, but they are much stronger than before. In the past, it was difficult to defend.

, now they can finally defend it and inflict huge damage to the enemy. However, the original strategic thinking is still advancing according to inertia and constraining them, so they have a situation of more than enough defense but not enough offense. If this time

After repelling Huang Taiji's attack, we sent a few troops to fight with them behind. They could delay Huang Taiji for at least half a month before he could return to Liaodong. Now we can only miss the opportunity, mainly because we have lost the opportunity and let us

Became passive."

I get upset when I mention this matter, and I don’t want to mention the upsetting things: “Now it seems that we need to support ourselves for anything, and we can’t count on others. So now we must pull out this nail as soon as possible, and let us all

The base areas are connected together, and then we adjust our strategy as quickly as possible to prepare for Huang Taiji's violent attack."

"On the third day, my subordinates will definitely capture Zhenjiang for you."

Looking at the iron gun he held tightly in his hand, "You don't want to come to the city in person and fight the enemy to the death?"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know whether it was possible.

"Things have not reached that point yet. Even if the capture of Zhenjiang City is delayed for another day, there will be no problem."

As a result, when Mao Wenlong was talking, a fast horse rushed over like the wind. Seeing Mao Wenlong, the people on the horse immediately fell off their horses and rushed directly in front of Mao Wenlong, handing him an urgent secret message in their hands: "The Great Qi Reporter"

Handsome, the enemy situation has changed."

Mao Wenlong turned over and sat up, grabbed the battle report, read it carefully word for word, and then told the detective team member: "Immediately notify all teammates on this battlefield to strictly isolate all those who want to enter Dongjiang Town."

Enemy." Then he still felt unsure, so he ordered Wang Qiang next to him again: "You immediately mobilize all the five men from Bijiashan to strictly guard Zhenjiang. Even if it is a bird released by the enemy, it must be shot by me.

." Without saying a word, Wang Qiang ran away. On the galloping horse, he suddenly raised his gun and fired into the air. As the gunshot sounded, an eagle fell down.

Seeing Mao Wenlong become nervous again, Lu Xiangsheng quickly asked: "What big thing happened?"

Mao Wenlong made no secret: "According to our investigation, the white flags stationed in Liaoyang suddenly began to gather urgently. They stayed up all night and began to explore the road to the south. This is enough to show that-"

"This shows that Xiangbai Banner wants to reinforce Zhenjiang."

"Yes, this is my judgment. Therefore, I am blocking all news entering Zhenjiang, so that the enemies in Zhenjiang City cannot have the confidence to continue to hold on. Therefore, Zhenjiang must be captured within three days, and this news must be

Release them immediately. Postpone their lucky move."

"What if we let him come over and ambush him halfway?"

Mao Wenlong firmly rejected his proposal: "Our top priority now is to absolutely not provoke Huang Taiji to launch an attack on us in advance. Once we raise the white flag and launch a surprise attack, it will be equivalent to lighting the fuse of the war. Although the enemy

It will take some time to recover from his losses in western Liaoning, but we need to adjust more, so we must not poke this hornet's nest for the time being. Our first priority now is to do everything we can to delay the war. If we can delay it until winter

, we have won." Then he banged the stretcher with his fist: "So we must take Zhenjiang as soon as possible, and if he doesn't give us the idea of ​​​​a legitimate external alliance, it will give him time to launch the Toman War."

There is such a huge difference between strategic and tactical talents. If you are strategically opposed, you can achieve final victory. But if your strategy is not right, even if your tactics are sure to win every battle, you will end in failure. The popular explanation is,

Direction is everything.

"If Zhenjiang cannot be captured on the third day, I will have to use my method of burning both jade and stone to destroy the city of Zhenjiang."

"There are more than 20,000 Han people and businessmen inside." Lu Xiangsheng reminded him unbearably.

"The overall situation is more important than anything else. In order to take care of the overall situation, someone always has to sacrifice. This kind of sacrifice is worth it."

Lu Xiangsheng was really not a stubborn person, so he immediately called the captain of his logistics team: "From now on, transport all the catapults and kerosene bombs from our south bank of the Yangtze River. Before dark tomorrow, if we can't

If we take Zhenjiang City, we will burn it with fire." The captain shouted the order without hesitation, mounted a war horse, and galloped to the south bank.

Tens of thousands of civilians on the south bank heard the news and pushed one catapult after another to the north bank. 500 catapults were densely placed in front of Dongjiang Town, and batches of kerosene bombs were piled on the catapults.
