Lu Daqi and others, who were waiting eagerly at the top of the city, were horrified when they saw Chang Yu and his party covered in blood, and hurriedly ordered the military doctor to re-bandage the wounds.
After washing and changing his clothes, before the end of the day, he ordered the celebration banquet to be held again. Everyone was surprised to see that he had stab wounds all over his body but his expression remained normal.
The banquet was naturally very lively, and of course the most eye-catching one was Wang Zamao, holding a wine glass and toasting one by one to apologize. After all, everyone had suffered so much in the past few days because of him.
"From now on, we are all our own people. Please take care of me and support me..." Wang Zamao felt very humble. Especially when he heard that the Duke and Marquis of Nanjing were here, he was shocked and excited.
, Oh my God, if I come here to curry favor with someone... he's developed.
"If we don't know each other, please forgive me if I offend you, General Jin." Wang Zamao raised his glass and looked at Jin Shenghuan, feeling an inexplicable and indescribable feeling in his heart.
"I'm sorry for killing so many of your brothers." Jin Shenghuan was very arrogant. He didn't look down on people like Wang Zamao at all. He was smooth and wretched and looked like a villain.
Next to him, Chang Yu watched the two of them chuckle with amusement, thinking that he knew that Jin Shenghuan and Wang Zamao were actually the same repetitive villains. They had worked together in the past. Although they were not ashamed of each other now, they didn't know whether they could get together in the future.
It was late at night and we were already exhausted from camping outdoors in the wind and rain for several days. We finally had a good sleep today. Everyone went back to their rooms to rest. In the lobby of the Yamen, only Chang Yu, Li Muxian, Xu Hongji, Lu Daqi, and Wang Zamao were discussing matters.
Wang Zamao was very excited and felt that he had been reused.
"The main force of Lord Chang will arrive at Wuhu at noon tomorrow, but the exhausted troops cannot be reused, so we need to put in a lot of effort to defeat the king's body, especially General Wang." General Wang heard Chang Yu's words and Wang Zamao was elated: "
Admiral, no matter what the order, as long as you give the order and humble your duty, I will kill you and take the dog head from the king's body."
Chang Yu laughed, Lu Daqi also laughed, Xu Hongji also laughed, and Wang Zamao blushed immediately.
Even with Wang Zamao's meager force, it would be difficult for him to withstand a charge from Wang Ti Zhong in a head-on attack, not to mention the natural danger across the river and the need to cross the water to attack. Not to mention taking Wang Ti Zhong's head, it would be a miracle to even land ashore.
"General Wang just try his best to set an example for all the ministries. As for whether he can take the dog's head in the king's body, it depends on God's will." Chang Yu smiled faintly, and Wang Zamao nodded vigorously: "But according to the orders of the admiral, to be honest, the king's body is in the army.
A tough, humble force with this little power..."
"It's not like you are going to fight alone. We still have thousands of soldiers and horses available so you won't be watching on the sidelines." Lu Daqi snorted, and Wang Zamao was a little afraid that he would hold his hand and dare not speak.
"Tomorrow, General Wang will lead his troops to rush for the vanguard and land. Lu Shangshu and Duke Guo will each lead their troops to cross the water from both wings to outflank..." Chang Yu told all the battle plans for tomorrow. Everyone frowned after hearing this. Xu Hongji
Unable to hold back, he said: "Although attacking in three directions can disperse the troops in the royal body, there are tens of thousands of troops guarding the river. We don't have the firepower to suppress it, which is really difficult to attack."
Several people nodded, and Lu Daqi suggested: "If we find a narrow place on the river bank to attack, we can use trebuchets and bows and arrows to suppress the fire on the other side and cover the soldiers crossing the water to attack..."
But I was ruthlessly rejected by reality. The Qingge River is the largest tributary in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Its main river is 150 to 250 meters wide. It must be a large trebuchet to have this range, especially ordinary archers.
Less than.
"You just focus on attacking, don't worry about anything else." Chang Yu and Li Muchian looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Daqi knew that the little eunuch had some dirty tricks up his sleeve, but he just couldn't tell them about it.
Wang Zamao was so eager to perform his meritorious service that he did not bother to rest in the city and left the city overnight to prepare. Xu Hongji praised his loyalty for his active performance, but Chang Yu disagreed. This kind of self-surrender without fighting and killing one's own people without mercy is terrifying, not to mention that he is
A person who repeats himself can be betrayed today, and Wang Zhong can betray Chang Yu tomorrow, and it is possible at any time, just like in history, he can surrender to the Qing Dynasty and turn around and rebel against the Qing Dynasty. This kind of person has to be on guard at all times but is unable to guard against it.
Because you don't know when he will stab you. This is why Chang Yu has murderous intentions for him. And like Wang Tizhong, he wants me to surrender. It's not that easy, but once I surrender, I will recognize you.
, will not betray easily.
So sometimes, it doesn't mean that someone who surrenders easily can be used by you and is really useful.
Chang Yu also slept well for a long time, but he still got up early. He and Qiao Sanxiu went to the city and ran ten kilometers to warm up. Then they boxed a few times and returned to the Yamen to wash up. Lu Daqi and others had just gotten up.
While everyone was having breakfast, spies from outside the city came to report that the bandit troops were setting up defenses on the other side of the Qingge River. It seemed that Wang Tizhong had drawn up his posture and was determined to compete with Chang Yu.
Lu Daqi and others had serious expressions on their faces, knowing that today was a tough battle. On the other hand, Chang Yu had a relaxed expression and Li Muxian made jokes from time to time, as if they didn't care.
After breakfast, Wang Zamao's predecessor came to report that he had made preparations. More than 300 large and small ships had been launched into the water, and they were waiting for Chang Yu's order to attack.
At half noon, Chang Yu left Kuang Ren to defend the city. He and Xu Hongji and others led their troops out of the city and went straight to the river. Wang Zamao waited for a long time and asked, "When will the admiral attack?"
"The time has not come yet." Chang Yu rode his horse to the river bank to check. Hundreds of boats had been launched into the water. Wang Zamao's men and horses were also in position by the river bank. They had eaten, drank and slept well since the surrender.
After the gods recovered, everyone held weapons and waited for orders. Some people even had door panels, dustpans and other items in their hands.
Wang Zamao quickly explained: "A boat can carry five to ten people, and two people can hold it. Two people can block the arrows, and the remaining ones can fire arrows to fight back..."
Chang Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that this kid is quite clever.
After holding up his telescope and observing the other side for a long time, Chang Yu asked Chen Ruxin to whisper a few words, and soon Chen Ruxin led several people on horseback and headed west to the Yangtze River.
"Boss, how come they only have so many people? If we fight together for a while, we still have to work hard!" Chang Yu, Lu Daqi, and Xu Hongji were discussing something in low voices by the river, while Pan Dahu was biting his ear next to Wang Zamao.
Wang Zamao glanced towards the north, but the two thousand officers and soldiers, including Lao Jiu's Black Wolf Battalion and the servants of several big bosses, did not exceed three thousand. He looked at the city in the distance, and then sighed with a bitter smile.
: "We are newly surrendered, so we should work hard, not to mention that others have to guard against us."
"Didn't they say there were 20,000 troops? We don't need that many to defend us, right?" Pan Dahu muttered: "Or they are just fooling around. In fact, they only have this amount of troops."
Wang Zamao shook his head: "There are really tens of thousands of troops, but they won't arrive until noon." As he said that, he glanced at Chang Yu by the river: "Then the eunuch didn't have the time to attack before, maybe he was waiting for the army to arrive, but he also said it last night
The tired soldiers cannot be reused. The most they can do is come over and shout a few times to pretend to be powerful and scare the king. The ones who have to work hard are our brothers."
On the bank of the river, Xu Hongji frowned: "The king's thieves are heavily guarded on the other side. This attack may not be successful even if Wang Zamao's troops are exhausted." Lu Daqi nodded in agreement and looked at Chang Yu: "The governor is still here
If you have any backup plan, can you tell me now?"
Chang Yu smiled slightly, turned his head and looked towards the west, and saw a column of green smoke curling up into the sky: "It's not good if you know it. Just try your best."
Lu Daqi and others nodded.
The sky was cloudy, windy but not hot, which was a good day for fighting. Seeing that near noon, Chang Yu began to mobilize his troops and ordered Wang Zamao's Chinese army to attack mainly. Lu Daqi and Jin Shenghuan attacked five miles east with a hundred ships. Xu Hongji, Zhao Zhilong, and Zhu Guobi
Then assist from five miles away to the west. This arrangement is naturally to lengthen the battle line and disperse the troops in the king's body.
With just a few people, you are so underestimating me. On the other side, Wang Tizhong was also watching Chang Yu's formation. He was almost captured by Chang Yu yesterday and broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately he found that he wanted to cross the water to sneak attack.
The loss of his troops and horses was not great, so he suddenly became arrogant and wanted to put himself in a position to compete with Chang Yu.
But at this time, it seemed that although the opponent was attacking in three directions in an attempt to disperse its forces, the total number was less than 10,000, including a lot of Wang Zamao's cannon fodder.
