Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 479 Reinforcement
Glancing at Wang Gan's corpse lying on the ground, Liu Yangzheng's expression was a little complicated.

He was not too happy, nor did he feel the joy after completing the task, but felt heavy instead.Wang Gan's words are still echoing in his ears, who knows if their father and son's today will be his own tomorrow?
"Clean it up and bury it properly." Liu Yangzheng said lightly, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.

Today I can clean up for Wang Gan, but when it's my turn, I don't know who will collect my body?
After breathing a sigh of relief and clearing up his mood, Liu Yangzheng returned to the big tent.

"Everything is done?" King Ning sat on the chair, raised his head and glanced at Liu Yangzheng.His eyes narrowed, revealing a gleam of resentment.

At this moment, he realized that he had embarked on a road of no return.Originally thought it would be a glorious road to success, who would have thought that it would turn into a dead end?
Liu Yangzheng nodded, and said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, everything has been dealt with."

"Then go to rest earlier. We will continue to attack the city tomorrow morning and try to take Jiujiang as soon as possible. Things can't go wrong again, or we will really be dead." After saying this, King Ning He stood up, turned around and walked inside.

Looking at King Ning's back, Liu Yangzheng didn't speak for a while, then turned and walked out.

Nanjing City, within the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Fu hurriedly walked in from the outside, came to Zhu Houzhao's side, bowed and said: "His Royal Highness, this is an urgent message from Jiujiang just now. King Ning raised his flag to rebel and launched an attack on Jiujiang at the same time. This time it is The desperate attack, King Ning is desperate, and now Jiujiang is in a hurry. This is a distress letter sent by Jiujiang civil and military officials."

As he spoke, Zhu Fu raised the letter above his head with both hands.

Zhu Houzhao's face remained unchanged, and he glanced at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin quickly walked down the steps, walked quickly to Zhu Fu, reached out and took the letter, then quickly walked to Zhu Houzhao, and respectfully presented the letter to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the distress letter which was held up high, reached out to take it from Liu Jin's hand, then tore off the seal and browsed quickly.

After reading it, Zhu Houzhao handed the letter to Liu Jin.

"It seems that this is a dog jumping over the wall." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao spoke these words very gently, with disdain in his tone, as if he didn't care about King Ning at all, and it contained strong self-confidence.

This made the originally slightly tense atmosphere in the hall ease up in an instant.

"Shouldn't there be a call for rebellion?" Zhu Hou looked at Zhu Fu and said with a smile, "He can't be so unprofessional?"

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao was still in the mood to ask this, Zhu Fu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Return to His Royal Highness, the evidence of King Ning's rebellion is solid, but don't read his proclamation." Bar?"

"That's right." Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said with a smile: "After all, there is nothing good to say. But I can guess. What King Ning needs to win the hearts of Jiangnan now, so it is impossible to attack his father who is far away in the capital. Emperor, it is estimated that all of them are crusading Bengong. What is cruelty, what is excessive taxation, what is killing people like hemp, you will not compare Bengong to Emperor Yang of Sui?"

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhu Fu was a little embarrassed and didn't speak.

Seeing Zhu Fu's expression, Zhu Houzhao knew what was going on, so he smiled and said, "Did you really say it? Not at all level. Okay, then let's go to Jiujiang to have a look. King Ning has already laid out there If Bengong doesn't go, it seems that Bengong is afraid of him."

"In addition, I also went to see the battle formation. Speaking of which, I haven't been to the battle formation in person for a few years. It's good to experience it. By the way, look at the elite soldiers that King Ning has prepared for so many years, and see what kind of army he has taught. , I hope the fighting power is better, otherwise it is meaningless."

Hearing the strong confidence in Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Fu really didn't know what to say.

Now the officials in Nanjing are very worried. After all, King Ning claims to have 20 horses.Even if it is not as much as 20, it will not be much less.

Now King Ning is attacking Jiujiang. As long as Jiujiang is taken down, he will attack Anqing and then go to Nanjing.

In this situation.His Royal Highness still has such a mood, which has to be admired.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this capital. He went to the Northwest to fight at a young age, and personally led the army to attack the grassland. He was invincible on the grassland.

It can be said that since his debut, His Royal Highness the Prince has never been defeated.

The most important thing is that His Royal Highness is fighting strong men, Huo Sha in the northwest, Dayan Khan in the north, and Duoyan Sanwei in Liaodong can only be regarded as beating rabbits with grass.

In the Ming Dynasty, only the prince dared to say such a thing.

Zhu Fu hastily said respectfully: "I will prepare right away."

"You prepare slowly first, and then lead people to follow. Ben Gong leads the Black Dragon Army to go there first." Zhu Houzhao said expressionlessly.

This time Liu Jian's arrival brought another [-] black dragon troops to Zhu Houzhao.Now that he has [-] Black Dragon Army and Black Dragon Guards under his command, Zhu Houzhao thinks it is enough.

You must know that Zhu Houzhao's 3 black dragon army is actually [-] soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers are not counted.Not to mention the number of people claimed by King Ning, this is actually [-] people.

For his 3 combat power, Zhu Houzhao was looking forward to it in his heart.

Speaking of which, the combat power of the Black Dragon Army has been improving over the past few years, but they haven't found anyone to try it. Maybe this time is an opportunity to try it out?
"His Royal Highness, is there some danger here?" Zhu Fu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I will go back to prepare immediately, and I must complete the preparations as soon as possible. Your Royal Highness should act together with the brigade?"

With deep worry on Zhu Fu's face, he said eagerly: "I promise to finish it immediately."

In fact, Zhu Fu was really worried in his heart.He did not doubt the fighting power of Zhu Houzhao's men. His Royal Highness's Black Dragon Army is the most powerful army in the world. This rumor has always been there, and many people believe it to be true.

But Zhu Fu was still very worried. After all, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Who knows if the prince will be hurt?

As the so-called son of a daughter cannot sit down, what is the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
The only son of His Majesty today, if something happens to this, no one can afford it.Even if he was only injured, the whole Jiangnan couldn't afford to walk around.

Zhu Fu didn't want Zhu Houzhao to take risks at all, so he said this.

"Okay, let's go back and deal with your troops." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "I will set off early tomorrow morning, but you'd better hurry up, otherwise you might not be able to keep up with my pace."

Zhu Fu wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhu Houzhao waving his hand, he could only turn around and walk out.

At the same time, Zhu Fu has already made up his mind in his heart that he must go back and prepare well. He will prepare overnight tonight, and it is best to set off with His Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow.

Of course, he also knew that this possibility was unlikely. After all, he had a large number of people, and Nanjing had to make arrangements.

Unlike the last time he went to Zhejiang, this time I am afraid that he will bring more people. It may not be possible for him to start at any time.But even so, the speed must be raised.Don't let His Royal Highness make any mistakes.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to take care of Zhu Fu. What he needed to do was very simple, that was to go to Jiujiang and beat King Ning.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao set off with the Black Dragon Guard, and the army rushed directly to Jiujiang.

In Jiujiang City, Chen Qisheng, the prefect of Jiujiang, had an anxious look on his face.

The shouting and killing outside hadn't stopped since morning. It can be said that he has been in fear for the past few days.

At this time, someone walked in with a hurried expression, and Chen Qisheng hurriedly went up to him.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Zhongmou, commander of Jiujiang.

At this time, Zhao Zhongmou had blood marks on his face and a lot of blood on his body. Although he still looked heroic, he was tired.

After seeing Chen Qisheng, Zhao Zhongmou frowned and said, "Master Zhifu, is there any news from Nanjing?"

"Still not." Chen Qisheng shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, and said helplessly: "It stands to reason that the news should have been delivered, but for some reason there has been no news."

Zhao Zhongmou sat down on the chair, stretched out his hand to pick up the teapot on the side, and poured water into his mouth without being polite, then looked at Chen Qisheng and said, "If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to last for a few days. King Ning's people are dying. We don't have much bows and arrows and things left to defend the city. Once we use up all these, we may not be able to resist King Ning's attack. I don't know what happened to Nanjing. Is it so difficult to send some reinforcements over?"

"Speak carefully, speak carefully." Chen Qi said with some helplessness: "All we can do is to do our duty as ministers, and the affairs of Nanjing are not in our hands. Besides, you have to believe that His Royal Highness has already arrived in Nanjing , I believe reinforcements will arrive soon."

Zhao Zhongmou sighed helplessly.

He also knew that it was useless for him to complain like this, and he couldn't hear anything from Nanjing.

But he was really anxious in his heart!Now King Ning's troops are getting tighter and tighter, there is really no way.

So Zhao Zhongmou could only raise his head, looked at Chen Qisheng with a serious face and said: "Our life and death are trivial matters, even if all my men are killed in battle, that is still a trivial matter. You also know that Jiujiang is located on the Yangtze River in the north, and the terrain is dangerous. , once it is occupied by King Ning, it will be a big trouble. If the imperial court wants to take it back, it will not be so easy."

Zhao Zhongmou knew this very well, if it wasn't for Jiujiang's dangerous terrain, he might not be able to hold it long ago; now he can hold it now, all because of the favorable location.

I used to say that Jiujiang is important, but how important it is already exists in the long memory.

But after this battle, Zhao Zhongmou truly realized how important Jiujiang was.As long as Jiujiang is not captured, King Ning will not dare to lead his troops to Anqing.Because once it passes, it is likely to face the risk of being attacked by two sides.

Once the battle ahead is unfavorable, if he blocks the waterway in Jiujiang, King Ning will not be able to come back even if he wants to.

"What's the use of you telling me this?"

Hearing Zhao Zhongmou's complaint, Chen Qisheng's face was also angry. He stood up and said sharply: "We are in Jiujiang now, and I have already written a letter of appeal for help and went to Nanjing. What else can I do? Do you want me to fly to Nanjing?" Shall I move people and horses for you?"

At this moment, a personal guard suddenly ran in outside, his face was full of joy, and he shouted loudly:

"His Royal Highness is coming, His Royal Highness is coming!"

His voice was very loud and his tone was very excited.

Before running in, both Chen Qisheng and Zhao Zhongmou had heard his call, they stood up abruptly, then looked at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

"His Royal Highness is here!" Zhao Zhongmou said excitedly.

Although Chen Qisheng didn't speak, he also had a smile on his face, and the joy was beyond words.

The man had rushed into the room at this time, and bowed to Chen Qisheng and Zhao Zhongmou, "Master Zhifu, Lord Commander, the attack on the top of the city has been withdrawn, and our reinforcements are here."

Zhao Zhongmou hurriedly stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Where are our reinforcements?"

"The Black Dragon Guards appeared outside the city. They held black dragon flags. They were all cavalry, and there were a lot of them. The small ones nodded at the top of the city. There were at least five thousand. They should be the vanguard of the Black Dragon Guards."

Now that the Black Dragon Guard has been mobilized, it must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After confirming the news, Zhao Zhongmou almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly said excitedly: "Go, go up to the tower and have a look, I'm going to see the famous Black Dragon Guard."

Chen Qisheng on the side grabbed him and said, "Let's go, take me with you."

Surrounded by everyone, the two ran to the top of the city.

At this time, King Ning's people had already retreated, the meaning was very obvious, and they were ready to wait and see what happened.To put it bluntly, they were scared back by the Black Dragon Guard, and everyone didn't think it was strange.

After all, His Royal Highness's Black Dragon Guard is really famous, with outstanding military exploits, the most powerful army in the world.

After the two climbed to the top of the city, the Black Dragon Guards below the city did not retreat, but rode their horses around the city.

The black armor shone brightly in the sun, and the rumbling sound of neat horseshoes shook the entire land.The all-in-one saber, dazzled people's eyes.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Zhongmou and Chen Qisheng became even more excited.

Chen Qisheng quickly said: "Immediately send someone out to get in touch and see if His Highness the Crown Prince has any orders. We should make preparations early."

Zhao Zhongmou also nodded repeatedly, and said excitedly: "We have finally waited for this day!"

I don't know if his head twitched, but Zhao Zhongmou suddenly said, "King Ning won't be so scared that he will go back to Poyang Lake?"

Chen Qisheng glanced at Zhao Zhongmou, and said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with us. We have made a contribution this time, and we don't need to worry about the following things."
