After taking the ferry, hundreds of warships that had already rushed to the middle of the Yangtze River, without any hesitation.

It's like a sharp arrow running away from the string, galloping towards the ferry at its fastest speed.

Soon, these warships approached the ferry and appeared on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

With the help of a ready-made ferry, a musket battalion and equipment on each warship took almost no time to board the dock and stand on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

When the Yangtze River defense lines on both sides of the ferry are still covered by the sound of cannons.

The forces of the two divisions of the Fourth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army have successfully landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River and appeared behind the Yangtze River defense line built by the imperial court with great efforts.

Of course, this is just the beginning. The two divisions of the Fourth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army that completed the landing have embarked on their new journey after a brief rest at the ferry.

The two divisions, in battalions, quickly dispersed and blocked the rear of more than 100,000 new imperial troops, like a large and airtight net covering all the more than 100,000 new imperial troops on the Yangtze River defense line in the large net.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen, who was about to enter the western part of Xiang, also encountered great trouble.

Seeing that there were more and more troops around me, the total force had exceeded 7,000 guards. After seeing the large carts loaded with various finances and food behind me, the number had exceeded 200.

Since leaving Nanjing City, Chongzhen finally showed his first smile in a few days.

However, this smile did not last long and disappeared completely by the next thing.

The huge convoy, which was slowly advancing along the mountain road, stopped after just less than five miles away from the ready-made one.

Although I am only three or four hundred miles away from the target now and leave the sight of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

However, as long as you don’t reach the southwest with high mountains and dense forests one day, you will be in danger all day.

Therefore, the sudden stop of the convoy directly made Chongzhen frown.

Just when Chongzhen wanted to ask his subordinates why he stopped moving forward, a rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly reached Chongzhen's ears.

Then, the sound of horse hooves stopped beside the carriage he was in.

"The emperor... something happened... the front official road was destroyed. If the convoy wants to continue moving forward, it must repair the official road... According to visual observation, it will take at least three hours for the army to repair the damaged official road...

Chongzhen is not a fool. At this time, the official road was destroyed on a large scale. If it were an accident or a coincidence, Chongzhen would never believe it.

Therefore, just in the blink of an eye, Chongzhen's good mood disappeared completely because of the large amount of supplies.

At this time, several ministers happened to come over.

After hearing the general's answer in front of him, the generals in charge of all the troops around Chongzhen spoke directly: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that we have exposed... The purpose of the other party's destruction of the official road must be to slow down our marching speed..."

Chongzhen nodded, although he did not give a positive answer. However, the increasingly gloomy expression on his face told everyone directly. Chongzhen had already recognized the judgment of the general under his command.

After some thought, Emperor Chongzhen, who had a gloomy face, asked directly: "Is there any other official road to enter the southwest..."

What disappointed Chongzhen was that as soon as he finished speaking, a prefect who joined the convoy halfway through, he spoke without hesitation and denied...

"Your Majesty, there is only this official road... As for the others, they are all mountain roads... Not to mention carriages, it is difficult for even people to walk with you, and it is impossible for the army to pass..."

Faced with this result, Chongzhen's face became even more gloomy.

Without thinking, he ordered: "Then why are you still stunned? Why don't you organize troops to repair the official road immediately... Two hours, two hours later, we must set off. Otherwise, today's day will pass in vain..."

"You must know that since we have exposed our target, someone deliberately destroys the official road and slows down our speed of entering the southwest. Then behind us, there must be someone chasing us, so we must seize the time and walk the remaining hundreds of miles as soon as possible..."

"Also, let me check immediately, who leaked the news about me here. In addition, I also want to know who destroyed the official road ahead. Now my enemy is the only Tiger and Leopard Army. I don't believe that the power of the Tiger and Leopard Army has developed to the Two Lakes region..."

Under Chongzhen's anxious waiting, the commander of the Jinyiwei who followed Chongzhen to leave Nanjing City, returned to Chongzhen without leaving for long.

Under Chongzhen's gloomy eyes, the commander of the Jinyiwei who sighed and spoke after only a brief contemplation.

"Your Majesty, I have found out... It was leaked by a Qiangma who just joined us three days ago. Someone gave him five thousand taels of silver and bought our identity from him..."

"Bastard... I sold me only for five thousand taels of silver... Is it worth the little money... I killed him. Although I was in trouble, I was still the emperor. Since he liked silver so much, I would let him have money but no life to spend it..."

Speaking of this, a sigh full of helplessness came out of Chongzhen's mouth.

"I regret it very much now. I shouldn't listen to the instigation of those ministers, and I shouldn't forget the advice of the Chief Minister... If we did not contact the prefectures we passed along the way and secretly went to the southwest, I would not be exposed to the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

Facing Emperor Chongzhen, who looked regretful in front of him, as his subordinate, the commander of the Jinyiwei was silent.

And at this moment, Chongzhen spoke again. Not only that, his words were also full of murderous aura.

"Did you know how the official road ahead was destroyed... Are there many traitors here who betrayed the imperial court and worked hard for the Tiger and Leopard Army... If I were to catch them, I would definitely cut them into pieces..."

Under Chongzhen's murderous eyes, the commander of the Jinyiwei did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Emperor, it is not the people of the Tiger and Leopard Army who destroyed the official road, they are just ordinary people around the official road... Two days ago, someone paid the money to destroy the official road, and there was also the money to repair the official road ten days later... "

Hearing this, Chongzhen had to restrain the murderous aura that kept emitting out of his body.

These people are not wrong. If Chongzhen really killed them because of this incident, Chongzhen would not only lose his country, but also lose the hearts of the people and become a completely destroyed king.
