Ningguo Prefecture, Xuancheng County Yamen.
Qian Qianyi and a group of Donglin Party gentry in the city sat in the hall to discuss matters.
The battle between the Ming army of the Ningguo Mansion and the Jing family army had been anxious for four days, but there had been no news of victory from the front line. What had reached the rear was only the news of the Ming army being beaten back by the Jing family army.
For a moment, everyone in the hall was a little discouraged.
"Is that Li Zicheng going to go back on his word?" Gentleman Wang said unhappily.”
"The war at the Ningguo Manor has been going on for a few days, and the reinforcements that we promised have yet to show up. If this continues, the Ningguo Manor will fall sooner or later.”
"At that time, not only will we not be able to enjoy the huge family fortune we have saved up over the years, but I'm afraid that it will also be a wedding dress for Yang Jing!”
As the head of the Donglin Party in the south, Qian Qianyi, like these gentry, had a wealth of tens of thousands.
Of course, he had the same concerns as the gentry. However, he had already received the news that Li Zicheng's reinforcements were coming, so he was much calmer than these mobs.
"Everyone, don't panic. I already have a foolproof method to deal with Yang Jing.”
"This time, I will definitely make him spit out everything he swallowed!”
"Whether it's Ningguo Prefecture, Nanling County, or the entire Hui Prefecture.”
When the gentry in the hall heard this, they all looked suspicious. They didn't know what this old fox Qian Qianyi was up to.
At the same time, in the small Anshan Mountain of Jingxian County, Ningguo Prefecture.
After a night of rest, the Ningguo Manor's Ming army's morale had risen by quite a bit.
However, no matter how high their morale was, the 170,000 Ming soldiers were no match for the 250,000 divine soldiers of the Jing Family Army.
In just a few days, the Ming army had suffered heavy losses. Out of the 170,000 Ming soldiers, 20,000 had died. Only 150,000 were left to fight on the battlefield.
As for the Jing Family Army, they only had 10,000 casualties.
The longer they dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became for the Ningguo Manor's Ming army.
At this rate, if the reinforcements did not arrive, the remaining 150,000 Ming soldiers would be wiped out in less than a week.
At this moment, the Ningguo Manor's Great General was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing around anxiously in the rear tent.
At this moment, a scout rushed over.
Li Dajun rushed over." How is it? What did Lord Qian say?"”
The scout looked at the anxious Li Dajun and opened his mouth. He looked troubled and didn't know what to say.
He hesitated for a moment and said,"Sir, Qian Da said that you should lead your troops to resist for another three days."”
"Reinforcements won't be here anytime soon.”
Li Da Jun was furious. He slammed the table and roared," Three days?”
"Does he know how many people will die a day if this drags on?”
"And don't think that I don't know that Li Zicheng's 200,000-strong army will soon reach the Ningguo Manor!”
"What does he want to do if he doesn't send reinforcements?”
"Do you want to hand over the Ningguo Manor to thieves?!”
The scout shook his head awkwardly." Lord Qian said…" He said he had other plans."
"He told us to do our best to hold on first. He said that if the plan went smoothly, not only would our Ningguo Prefecture troops retreat quickly, but we could also recover the lost territory of Hui Prefecture in one fell swoop.”
" What?" Li Dajun was shocked." Recover the lost territory of the Hui Prefecture in one fell swoop?”
"Could it be that he wants to..."
Li Da Jun looked at the scout and did not continue.
On the contrary, the scout's eyes sparkled as he nodded.
Li Dajun waved his hand helplessly." Alright, alright. I understand. You can leave now."”
Night fell.
The entire Hui Prefecture fell into silence. The lights in the houses had been extinguished, and the Hui Prefecture looked peaceful.
At this moment, a group of people appeared in the forest at the border between Hui Prefecture and Chizhou Prefecture, quietly arriving at the entrance of Jixi County.
There were many people in this group, roughly 100,000 people.
The leader was Li Zicheng's number one general, Liu Zongmin.
This man was the most powerful warrior among the Roaming Generals. He was a blacksmith and was extremely valiant. He was Li Zicheng's right-hand man and was known as the " Bravest General under the Roaming King."
His position in the peasant army was second only to Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng actually sent him to lead his troops here, which was enough to show how much importance he placed on South Zhili. He clearly wanted to directly occupy South Zhili after eliminating Yang Jing in one fell swoop.
After Liu Zongmin arrived at Chizhou Prefecture, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Qian Qianyi without stopping.
Who knew that he was already prepared to go to the Ningguo Prefecture to help? Qian Qianyi replied that he wanted him to go to the Hui Prefecture.
The letter said that Yang Jing had already sent all his troops to Ningguo Prefecture. Now that Hui Prefecture was empty, it was a good time to take them down.
Although this plan was vicious, Liu Zongmin admitted that it was a foolproof plan.
Therefore, after a moment of consideration, he immediately gathered 100,000 troops and rushed to Jixi County, preparing to attack the Hui Prefecture at night.
It would be best if he could take it down in one fell swoop. This would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
Liu Zongmin led his troops to hide in the dark and observed the city tower of Jixi County for a long time. He confirmed that other than the guards patrolling the city tower, there was nothing unusual.
He let down his guard and glanced at the Great Shun Army that was ready behind him. Then, he waved his hand.
"Go!"
After receiving the order, the Great Shun Army emerged from the shadows one by one and rushed towards the Jixi County City Tower.
The 100,000 strong army advanced together. Who would have thought that halfway through, the Jixi County City Tower would suddenly light up and a group of Jing family soldiers would appear above the city tower.
Liu Zongmin's face darkened as he looked at the bright city gate tower.
There was an ambush!
However, he thought about it again. Most of the Jing family army was held back by the Ming army at Ningguo Prefecture, and Hui Prefecture was weak.
So what if there was an ambush?
Other than the 100,000 soldiers under his command, there were also 100,000 Great Shun soldiers stationed not far from Jixi County.
With a total of 200,000 soldiers, taking down the Hui Prefecture, which only had a few tens of thousands of soldiers, would be as easy as taking out something from a pocket.
Thus, he, who thought that he was almost certain to take down the Hui Prefecture, did not panic at all when he saw the Jing Family Army suddenly raise the flag on the city tower.
He retreated to the side of the army, raised his saber, and shouted,"”
"Charge!"
"We'll seize the Hui Prefecture in one fell swoop. After the great cause is completed, King Roaming will divide the world with you!”
The morale of the 100,000 Great Shun Army soldiers rose greatly upon hearing this. They raised their sabers and shouted as they charged towards the city tower.
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
The 100,000 Great Shun Army soldiers were like wild boars that had gathered their strength and charged forward.
At this moment, a figure gradually appeared above the city tower. Beside him was a huge cannon.
Looking at his appearance, it was Wang Tianhao, who had been sent to the artillery unit by Yang Jing!
Wang Tianhao swept his gaze across the Great Shun Army below the city gate tower. He felt that these people were as insignificant as ants in front of these cannons.
He touched the cannon beside him and smiled. In an instant, his eyes turned cold.
Then, he waved his hand and shouted,"Artillery team!”
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
(Please, please, please! Please!)
