"Haha! Lin Fan, His Majesty has issued an order for you to quickly return to Xi'an City to guard it. Why did you bring troops to my Nanjing City?
Could it be that you want to disobey the imperial edict?"
Zhu Cunlan faced Lin Fan without the slightest fear.
The officials in the capital were afraid of Lin Fan because Lin Fan was the commander of the Imperial Guards, because Lin Fan had an army and His Majesty's favor. They could not defeat Lin Fan.
However, he was originally a criminal and was almost executed. Later, he fled to Nanjing City and became a general of an army of hundreds of thousands.
In Nanjing City, he was a figure like Cao Cao. There were hundreds of thousands of people defending the city, but he didn't believe that Lin Fan could attack Nanjing City.
Lin Fan looked coldly at Zhu Cunlan, knowing that this guy was trying to block him, but he wanted to make a quick decision and return to Xi'an City to guard.
He hasn't signed in today so he can wait until now to proceed.
You should know that his check-in will be based on the location and needs of your sign-in, and there is a high probability that it will meet your needs.
"System! Sign in!"
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and receiving a copy of the Nanjing City Defense Map."
kindness!
Sure enough, he was given something useful. With the defense map of Nanjing City in hand, would he still be afraid of Zhu Cunlan?
"Hmph! Zhu Cunlan! You are the guilty minister of our Ming Dynasty. Don't be stubborn at this time! Open the door quickly and surrender. I will plead with His Majesty and spare your life!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
Zhu Cunlan sneered: "Haha! Lin Fan, Lin Fan, do you think I am a fool?
Is it inappropriate for me to leave a good prince alone and become your prisoner?"
"Zhu Cunlan, there is no royal land in the world. This Nanjing City is the second capital of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think you can be the emperor when you occupy this place now?"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Hmph! Lin Fan, no matter what you say, I will never let you enter the city. There are hundreds of thousands of defenders in the city. You can't attack this place!"
Zhu Cunlan said coldly.
At this time, Lin Fan had already read the defense map of Nanjing City. The west gate of Nanjing City was damaged due to disrepair for many years!
And Zhu Cunlan didn't realize this. Considering the extent of the damage to the west city gate, his Tiger and Leopard Rider could charge open the city gate with a huge tree!
hehe!
This Zhu Cunlan is extremely sparse. The city gate is the most important part of a city, but he didn't maintain it properly. He deserves to die here today.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, follow me!"
Lin Fan left directly with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, followed closely by the Jin Yiwei.
When the army withdrew five miles away, the Jin Yiwei stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are we going back to Xi'an City now?"
"go back?
Why go back?
The city of Nanjing has not been captured yet. Everyone, follow me to the west gate, which is the weakest point in the entire city of Nanjing. You can definitely enter from there!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"But, sir, Your Majesty wants us to go to Xi'an City. Moreover, this Nanjing City is also a city under the Ming Dynasty. If we go in at this time, isn't it..."
Jin Yiwei wanted to speak but stopped.
Lin Fan said coldly: "Haha! That Zhu Cunlan was originally the guilty official of the Ming Dynasty. He is currently in Nanjing City, and he wants to rebel!"
"Don't kill him! Our Ming Dynasty's rear is always unstable, so no matter what, we must capture Nanjing City today and kill all the rebels in the city!"
After that, Lin Fan led the tiger and leopard horses towards the West City Gate. When the defenders at the West City Gate saw the black army, they were stunned!
They hurriedly blew their battle howls. Zhu Cunlan, who had already thought everything was safe, was stunned. Didn't Lin Fan retreat?
Why did someone invade the West City Gate?
Then, he realized something and hurriedly led his people to support the west city gate. However, when he arrived, he happened to see the tiger and leopard cavalry breaking through the city gate.
Obviously, the damage to the city gate was more serious than what was described in the defense map provided by the system. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry just made a collision and the city gate opened.
Lin Fan took the lead in killing the enemy, but the soldiers at the West City Gate could not resist it. By the time Zhu Cunlan arrived, the people at the West City Gate had already laid down their weapons and surrendered.
"You! Lin Fan! You are so treacherous. You have retreated, but you come to attack my west gate!"
Zhu Cunlan couldn't help but cursed.
Lin Fan laughed and said: "Haha! Zhu Cunlan, as the saying goes, a war never tires of deceit, don't you even know this?
Are you still trying to stop me from entering the city?"
"What a wishful thinking! Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! Charge me, and kill everyone who doesn't surrender!"
"This Zhu Cunlan is a criminal of the Ming Dynasty. He has received favor from the emperor, but he wants to rebel and kill him!"
Lin Fan kept roaring, and the tiger and leopard knights began to rush forward as if they were beaten to death. Zhu Cunlan's men had been guarding the city, and they had never seen such brave soldiers.
Hundreds of thousands of people were dispersed by a charge from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Zhu Cunlan ran away when he saw that the situation was not going well, but Lin Fan caught up with him and chopped off his head.
"Zhu Cunlan is dead, those who surrender can live, and those who don't surrender will all die!"
Lin Fan held up Zhu Cunlan's head and roared angrily.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were stunned at this time. Zhu Cunlan was dead and they had no generals. The tiger and leopard cavalry were so ferocious that they dropped their weapons one by one and chose to surrender.
"You guys are just soldiers, not generals. All soldiers can stay alive, but all generals must be killed!"
Lin Fan ordered.
Then, all the generals in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were killed, not even a ten-captain was left. After killing these people, Lin Fan began to reorganize the army.
There were still 90,000 people left out of the hundreds of thousands. Lin Fan could tell with just a glance that the combat effectiveness of these people was average, but they were much better than Li Zicheng's rabble.
At this time, the Donglin Party officials in Nanjing City also learned about Lin Fan's entry into Nanjing City. They were all shocked. If Lin Fan entered the city, wouldn't Zhu Cunlan be dead?
"Here! Lord Wang, what should we do? If Lin Fan comes, we won't be able to keep those lands!"
"Alas! I just received news that when Lin Fan entered Nanjing City, the first thing he did was to kill Zhu Cunlan! This piece of trash can't defend a city with more than 100,000 people!"
"With 50,000 tiger and leopard cavalry and 10,000 brocade guards, Lin Fan can defeat the city of Nanjing. This shows how powerful Lin Fan is!"
"This is a danger for us, and at the same time, it is also an opportunity. Although Zhu Cunlan has not moved our land, he has been suppressing us so much that we cannot lift our heads!"
"If Lin Fan wants land, let's just divide it. Anyway, he has to go to Xi'an City. When he leaves, he will definitely leave his previous troops and horses to us. By then, wouldn't this Nanjing City be ours?
