Chapter 449: Soldiers Arrive at the East of the City (Second Update)
Gao Zhang curled his lips in disgust, even afraid of his own kind smile, forget it, don't tease him.
He turned around and walked to Liu Fa's side, and began to communicate in depth with the rising star of the Song Dynasty.
The character of General Liu Fa is actually not that bad. As a Shengsheng, he fought his way to the position of Ruming with his undoubted military exploits.
It is understandable that he is a bit arrogant about his talents. As a person with high emotional intelligence, Gao Zhang was able to deal with the arrogant and domineering Cai Laoliu even though he had no talent or knowledge.
What's more, that person was inspired by Gao Zhang's deliberate words, his graceful demeanor, and his sincere tone.
Liu Facuo's favor with Gao Zhang, the general who was deeply moved by his behavior and actions after the war, greatly increased.
As for Gao Zhang's good brother Liu Qi, he was leading half of the imperial cavalry heading south.
Before the war, Gao Zhang received news from Commander Li that he was leading the Hangzhou Prefecture troops and the rural troops were in Wujiang County.
As for Gao Zhang, he learned from the captured generals that Zhu Meng had sent a small reinforcement force to Wujiang County.
In this case, Gao Tao couldn't help but watch Commander Li in danger.
Presumably at this moment, Liu Qi's 1,500 cavalrymen, who were speeding all the way, should have arrived near Wujiang County to join Commander Li.
Gao Zhang believed that Liu Qi and Commander Li should be able to deal with the reinforcements sent by Zhu Mon, but he didn't know whether they could take Wujiang County to the east. If they could recapture Wujiang County.
Then if Zhu Meng asks for it, he can hold on tight; if he asks for it, he can flee towards the coast.
But the problem is that Zhu's smuggling fleet had already fallen into his lap as early as the beginning of the war.
"General Liu, in my opinion, Zhu Meng will flee Suzhou, or will he resist stubbornly?"
After Gao Zhang chatted with Liu Fa for a while, he couldn't help but ask the question that concerned him most.
"The general thought that the Zhu family had been operating in Suzhou for many years, and it might be difficult to make a decision all of a sudden."
"Unless they know that stubborn resistance will be useless, they will abandon Suzhou and flee to the coast."
Gao Zhang was convinced by those words and nodded. Liu Fa's analysis was very reasonable.
As for Bu Nao, Xiuzhou would definitely not be able to win something with the courage in his square legs.
However, although Commander Li received reinforcements led by Liu Qi, he still lacked siege weapons. It would not be easy to conquer Wujiang County in one fell swoop.
As for Suzhou City, Gao Zhang's brain was not broken. With the few men and horses in his legs, he could not attack by force.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhang couldn't help but cast his eyes on those banners again. He hoped for those things.
It can arouse the desire for life in the young men of Suzhou who were forcibly recruited by Zhu Meng, and the hatred for Zhu's father and son.
There is the imperial army outside, and there are the dissatisfied Suzhou people who have wronged him.
If Zhu Meng really wants to defend Suzhou City, then that's not the case.
At worst, I'll spend some time, put a few thousand kilograms of gunpowder into a pile on the east side of the city wall, and see what I do.

Commander Li's eyes widened in disbelief. What did he see? In the afterglow, he saw a cavalry of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, holding a banner high, already appearing in front of him.
The leading general is a rather tall and heroic young man.
He brought not only 1,500 Imperial Guard cavalry, but also exciting good news.
Then the rebel Zhu Meng personally led an army of 30,000 people to the north. However, Gao Zhang, the Xuanfu governor, led his troops to Nawangting Town and defeated Zhu's rebels.
We have captured more than 5,000 enemies and are now continuing to march towards Suzhou.
Originally, there were soldiers and horses coming to Wujiang to help, so Commander Li, who was cautious in using troops, had to retreat on his own initiative. However, Liu Qi came to help with his army and received news of a great victory in the north.
Moreover, Liu Qi soon told Commander Li that Fang La, who had dealt with him, had already led his army in a battle with Zhu's rebels outside Xiuzhou City and won a great victory over Wanluo.
Commander Li couldn't help but ignite his fighting spirit, and summoned the generals from the east of his command to discuss with Liu Qi how to deal with Wujiang County.
Wujiang County is not as big a city as Suzhou. If you try hard, maybe you can get some cocoa from the East and lose Wujiang County, which is close to Suzhou.
Then Suzhou and Xiuzhou are cut off.
After a whole night's rest, Commander Li sent dozens of elites disguised as private salt dealers on the next day, bribed the soldiers guarding the city gate and opened the gate of Wujiang County.
The two sides began to fight fiercely near the city gate, and the cavalry, which had been ambushing not far outside the city, immediately attacked and killed Wujiang County.
They captured the north gate of Wujiang County cleanly and neatly. Except for a few of Zhu's rebels who resisted stubbornly and were killed on the spot, most of the rest surrendered.
Immediately after capturing Wujiang County, Commander Li left 2,000 rural soldiers and 300 elite soldiers to guard the area.
He led the remaining troops and headed north together with Liu Qi.

It was not until near noon that Zhu Menna received the news that the imperial army that had defeated him had appeared outside Suzhou City.
When Zhu Meng received the news and hurriedly boarded the city wall, Suzhou City was already surrounded by imperial officers and soldiers.
Although the wrong side did not have many troops, they actually dared to divide their troops into three groups and surrounded the west, north and south gates of Suzhou City.
Seeing that scene, Zhu Meng was really moved and wanted to go and do something about it.
I have more than 10,000 imperial officers and soldiers to fight against the enemy, a quarter of them, four or five thousand people, he is very good at it?
But after all, it's just a matter of thinking about it. After all, the thousands of cavalry officers and soldiers of the imperial court are not for display.
The super high mobility allows Zhu Meng to use the rat-proof weapon.
Immediately after the imperial officers and soldiers pitched their feet outside the city, they began to build the camp, and soon fixed those eye-catching banners on the wall of Saipanzhai on the side facing Suzhou City.
Zhu Meng and a group of rebel soldiers, who had been at the top of the city and watched vigilantly at the movements of the imperial officers and soldiers in the east of the city, were all dumbfounded.
Zhu Meng looked straight at those banners. The eye-catching banners were still so clear even though they were separated by a few miles.
The words above were like bloody knives piercing Zhu Meng's sight.
It sent chills down his spine, and the rebel generals around him also had strange expressions on their faces.
Especially those generals who were born as heroes in the world, all looked thoughtfully at Zhu Meng, the King of Wu, who had an extremely ugly face.
But the young men at the top of the city who had been forcibly recruited by Zhu Meng began to feel excited.
