    At noon on the 20th day of the first lunar month in the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi¡¯s Qing Dynasty, the main force of the Fat Man Army, who marched cautiously, finally arrived at the first destination of the Eastern Expedition¡ªJiujiang City, and chose to camp in the area of ??the official card folder in the northwest of Jiujiang City.  Backed by the Xiazhai of the Yangtze River, about ten miles away from Jiujiang City, they formed horns with Li Guodong, the fat man's navy, who had the advantage of smooth sailing, and adopted a relatively conservative camping strategy.

    While Fatty's army was camping, Fatty Lu led a group of loyal or traitorous lackeys and accomplices and an elite soldier to the foot of Jiujiang City to personally visit Jiujiang City to prevent the plot to break the city.  It is to spy on the movement of Hukou, which is across the lake from Jiujiang City, to judge whether the Anqing Qing army has sent troops to reinforce Jiujiang and destroy its plan to siege the city.

    Probably because of his many evil deeds, when Fatty Lu's banner appeared under Jiujiang City, there was a lot of shouting and cursing in Jiujiang City, which could still be heard clearly even after two miles away.  Seriously, there is no shortage of particularly harsh and vicious words.  It's a pity that our Lu Sanhao's skin has always been astonishingly thick, and the so-called conscience and shame have never made things difficult for him, so Fatty Lu didn't seem to hear it, he was just carefully observing the Jiujiang city defense with a smile, and asked the lackeys and accomplices to express their opinions  , Conspiring to destroy the city.

    Compared with Wuchang City and Jingzhou City, which were fought by the Wu army in the first few tough battles, Jiujiang's city defense is obviously not as good as these two important Huguang towns.  But it is definitely not the kind of abandoned small city that can be easily captured. The city is high, the moat is deep, and the fortifications are complete. If it is a frontal attack, even if it can be won, the loss of the attacker will never be so small, and how much time will it take to capture it?  Even Fatty Lu, who has always been arrogant and narcissistic, would not dare to guarantee this city.

    "Brother Lu, this battle is not easy to fight." Gao Dejie was the first to express his opinion, saying: "With the strength of our army, if we attack such a fortified city with strong defenses head-on, although we are very sure of winning in the end, the casualties  It¡¯s definitely not that small, and there¡¯s no way to be sure about a quick battle.¡±

    "That's why I was opposed to directly attacking Jiujiang from the beginning." Han Daren rarely stood with Gao Dejie, and said with a sneer: "If Nanchang is attacked first, even if it takes a little longer, at least there is no need to worry about the reinforcements full of dogs.  Yes. Go directly to Jiujiang. If you can¡¯t make a quick decision, the Mangous in Anqing and Nanchang will attack from the north and the south, and kill them together. Let alone break the city, you will be Amitabha if you don¡¯t get flanked by the Mangous.¡±

    "Man Gou will not reinforce Jiujiang." Fatty Lu spoke surprisingly, and said with a smile: "At least, Man Gou in Anqing will not reinforce Jiujiang. As for Man Gou in Nanchang, even if they come to reinforce Jiujiang, they will not have too many troops."

    "Master Lu, are you sure?" Wang Xu asked in surprise, "Anqing is the closest to Jiujiang, and there is a safe and fast waterway to go. Why didn't you reinforce Jiujiang?"

    Gao Dejie and Han Daren also squinted their eyes, waiting for Fatty Lu's explanation, while Fatty Lu smiled and said vaguely: "They don't have the guts, in a word, you don't have to worry about Anqing's Mangou, I have already made arrangements  , before the fatal crisis of Jiujiang Mangou, Anqing Mangou would never dare to send troops to reinforce Jiujiang in advance."

    Generals Gao, Han, Wang and Wu Jun all looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why Fatty Lu had such confidence.  Finally, Wang Xu, who still trusts Fatty Lu, said: "Master Lu, even if Anqing Mangou will not reinforce Jiujiang in advance, then we can't delay the war for a long time, otherwise, no matter whether it is Anqing or Nanchang Mangou, there will only be one  If an army breaks through our blockade and enters Jiujiang City, it will be even more difficult for us to fight this battle."

    "General Wang Xu is right." Li Tianzhi echoed, "Brother Lu, I propose to launch the siege tomorrow. Taking advantage of our heavy damage to Mangou in Ruichang that has shaken the morale of Jiujiang Mangou's army and dampened their spirit,  Take advantage of our sharp firearms and take down Jiujiang City in one go!"

    "The last general is willing to be the siege vanguard!" The fierce general Hu Tongchun couldn't wait to ask for orders.

    "No! I won't attack the city tomorrow!" Fatty Lu said again surprisingly, "I have already predicted that if it is soon, tomorrow night, if it is later, the day after tomorrow, in short, within three days, the city will be full of dogs. Once again, the city will go out for a decisive battle. When we are in the field  Injure Man Gou again, completely disintegrate Man Gou's morale and fighting spirit, and then launch an attack to be more confident. Therefore, this afternoon and tomorrow, our army must take the time to rest and regain strength, and prepare to attack the city  instrument!"

    "Man Gou will go out of the city again for a decisive battle within three days?" Wu Jun's generals exclaimed, but Han Daren seized the opportunity and laughed and said, "Lord Lu, you are really getting better at telling jokes.  After suffering a big loss in the field battle, and having a strong city to rely on, will you go out of the city again for a decisive battle?"

    &n??If you really go to vote for Wu Gou, then Master Bei, if you kill these hidden dangers, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?  "

    Master Zhangtai Beizi rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, turned to the tearful Dong Weiguo and said, "Okay, Dong Weiguo, I will give you a chance to prove your innocence. Ben Beizi and your five thousand troops, if you go out of the city  If you can really chop off the head of Wu Gou Lu Yifeng, Ben Beizi will naturally believe that you are innocent, and will kowtow to you to apologize. But if you, hmph, please consider these generals who trust you, Governor General."

    "I can't help it, let's take a gamble. After I leave the city, as long as I fight to the death, even if I don't get the head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, this idiot Zhangtai will not doubt me when he sees me fighting bloody battles. Even if I die in battle  On the battlefield, it¡¯s better than being sent to the capital to suffer humiliation and die.¡± Dong Weiguo also had no choice but to clap his fists and answer loudly: ¡°The slave takes orders!¡± (To be continued.
