Chapter 633

The importance of Zhenjiang to Nanjing is self-evident. Like the previous Eastern Jin Dynasties, this is where the Beifu army stationed.

Every time we make trouble, as long as we start from here, we can easily capture Jiankang, that is, Jinling City.

Nanjing city is located in the dragon's land and has the danger of the Yangtze River. However, once the Yangtze River is conquered, it enters the natural danger of Zhenjiang, which is flat and smooth until the foot of Zhongshan Mountain.

Nanjing also knows the importance of Zhenjiang. After hearing that they were besieged by Liu Jun, they quickly organized troops and prepared to reinforce them. However, they found that more than 10% of Liu Jun began to cross the river and attack all intersections along the Yangtze River.

Individual troops have appeared near Nanjing. They are very frightened. They have issued summoning orders and help letters to all localities, asking them to send troops to support quickly, but there are few responders.

How many people dare to send troops to fight Liu Jun in such a deserted and poor Jiangnan.

Moreover, their reinforcements had just left the city when they were attacked by a small group of vanguard troops of Liu Jiajun, so they retreated immediately.

In this way, the reinforcements expected by the Zhenjiang garrison are destined not to come, while Liu Jiajun keeps rushing in.

Situ Duyi, the guerrilla general in charge of guarding the city in Zhenjiang, boarded the city tower and saw a steady stream of ships and ships of Liu Jiajun on the South Bank of the Yangtze River. Troops were pulled out and ships of materials were unloaded. They formed one huge square array after another on the plain under the city. The weather was severe and the momentum was terrible.

These were not what he was afraid of. Zhenjiang city was guarded according to the danger, and the wall was quite high. It was still able to block the impact of the enemy, but the worst place was that with the unloading of Liu's artillery, they began to use a large number of people to transport the artillery up. Their red artillery directly bombarded the wall, causing a huge blow to the garrison.

Chengping in the south of the Yangtze River has been peaceful for a long time, and its armaments have been abandoned for a long time. They have only heard of the red cannon, but they have not seen it. It is said that outside the pass, they killed Nurhachi, the leader of JianNu. It is the most powerful cannon in the world. It is even more powerful than the invincible general of the Taizu emperor. There are few imperial courts, but Liu Jun actually has so many, This surprised them inexplicably.

They have a city defense. It takes several days for the other party to attack the city forcibly, but the other party uses artillery to bombard the city wall and attack the city without any bottom line and difference, which makes them suffer heavy casualties.

Situ is the only one of the more capable generals along the Yangtze River in the Ming army. Although he is only a guerrilla general, his ability is very outstanding. Otherwise, he would not be sent to guard Zhenjiang, an important place. You know, those who mixed with him in those years have become generals or chief soldiers. Only he is not good at flattering his superiors, He was sent to such a place. Although he was silent and didn't show the mountain and dew at ordinary times, he guarded it at the critical time, so that Liu Jun could not enter.

Liu Jun is responsible for attacking General Mao Shengli. Mao Shengli is Liu Jun's Archer commander, responsible for commanding Liu's powerful archers and providing long-range fire support.

However, with the expansion of Liu Jiajun's establishment, he has higher requirements for long-range fire support, and has established artillery. Mao Shengli is better than becoming the commander of artillery. On the one hand, he commands his archers to suppress the city, and on the other hand, he commands the artillery to unload and attack the city.

According to Mao Shengli's series of battles, if he used these two hatchets, he should be able to defeat the other party. However, the other party is still fighting to the death and insists on staying here, which makes him feel some admiration, but he is very ashamed and angry. You know, he promised Liu Bu that when Liu Bu set foot in the south of the Yangtze River, He will arch Zhenjiang city with both hands and let him directly enter the city and lead his troops to attack Nanjing, but Liu Bu has arrived, and the gate of Zhenjiang City has not been opened.

Mao Shengli felt that he had no face, so he ordered to organize a Death Squadron and vowed not to withdraw troops until he broke the town.

But his death squads had just been organized and had not been sent out, because Liu Bu ordered him to withdraw.

After Liu Bu arrived, he did not order the army to attack again, but sent messengers to persuade the other party to surrender.

It was Qian Qianyi, the scholar who went to persuade him to surrender.

It is said that situ's only son was Qian Qianyi's student. The two sides knew each other. Qian Qianyi didn't want to go. What kind of person was he? How noble he was. He was the so-called Golden son. He sat down and asked him to take risks. In case the other party turned over, he would be finished, but he was punished by the Security Bureau around Liu bu, Zhou Hui pointed out the only relationship between him and the garrison situ, and put forward suggestions for him to persuade him to surrender. He had to go, so he had to bite the bullet.

Situ was the only one standing on the city wall and looking at the huge army array of the other party and the moving cannons. He was really numb. The enemy's reinforcements came in a steady stream, but the imperial court's reinforcements didn't know where. Seeing such a huge momentum, most of the troops in Nanjing were afraid of the other party's prestige and didn't dare to come.

Seeing that the other party was organizing a Death Squadron, he was also very nervous. He immediately ordered the soldiers to have a full meal and be ready to meet the other party's attack at any time. Who knew that when the other party's death squadron was arrayed for hundreds of meters and was about to launch an assault, it took the initiative to retreat, and the other party's artillery stopped bombardment.

At this time, Liu Jun made way in the huge military array. Escorted by ten soldiers, a white scribe, sitting on a donkey, came slowly.

Situ only saw that the other side was wearing the banner of an apostle, and he didn't dare to start, and ordered the soldiers who picked up the bow and arrow not to act rashly.

The only thing situ knows is that Liu Jun now has an absolute advantage. They now send envoys to persuade him to surrender. Even if they don't want to surrender, they can also achieve the purpose of delaying the other party. As long as they can delay the other party, whether it's war or delaying time, they have the same effect, and finally achieve the purpose of delaying, As long as the reinforcements from Nanjing come, they will be successful.

The other party is willing to negotiate, which is the best thing. However, situ was shocked when he saw that the other party was Qian Qianyi, a famous celebrity in the south.

Qian Qianyi is one of the best celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River. He is also a first-class celebrity in Nanjing. He is not only a scholar of Zhu state, but also the pride of local people. It is said that he visited Wu Zongda in Yangzhou. Many people believe that he should have fallen into the sword.

As a man of Qian Qianyi, he will not surrender to the other party. He will scold the other party's behavior, then provoke the other party and be killed by the other party.

Almost all people in the South believe that Qian Qianyi is dead. With his integrity and hatred of evil, he will certainly die and repay the Ming court. Only in this way can he cooperate with his role as a model civil minister and Qingliu leader in the world. Who knows that he is alive and well, and has also become an envoy of Liu Jun to persuade him to surrender.

Situ was not the only one who recognized Qian Qianyi, but even his men. They were shocked and shocked. Even people like Qian Qianyi took refuge in Liu Jun. who else in the world can not join Liu Jun?

The appearance of Qian Qianyi shocked situ. Originally, he always wanted to serve the imperial court and his family and country with his death. That's what he had to do as a loyal minister and martyr, but seeing that Qian Qianyi, who he regarded as an idol, had become Liu Jun's man, which caused a great blow to him.

Qian Qianyi held his envoy's banner and asked for an audience under the city. The garrison dared not open the city gate to let him in, but he also knew the identity of the other party, so he put down the basket and pulled the other party up.

Situ only admired Qian Qianyi's article morality, so he let his son worship him as a teacher. Even if his son only worshipped Qian Qianyi as a teacher, he always regarded Qian Qianyi as a teacher and regarded him as a teacher. Who knows that a person he respected so much turned to the enemy, This made him feel that all his beliefs and persistence had collapsed.

Situ said with a sigh, "why is Qian Gong so? Why is he so?"

Qian Qianyi blushed. He knew that as a clear leader, he must bear the hope of the world. Loyal officials all over the world would want him to commit suicide to die for Daming. However, he couldn't show such courage to commit suicide and die for his country. When he saw the disappointed eyes of the other party, he couldn't help feeling shy.

In fact, he doesn't want to come, but he doesn't want to leave an impression of his futility in Liu Bu's heart. He can see that Liu's military people will respect you as long as you have the ability, and those who don't have the ability will be abandoned by it.

It is estimated that Liu Jun also took a fancy to his reputation, but his reputation can't be eaten. If he can't work for them, he will be despised by them. He has no place in this new power group. Of course, on the other hand, he is also afraid of Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui has a gloomy face all day long, as if others owe him money. Moreover, Zhou Hui is a famous ruthless man. Qian Qianyi personally saw him kill a man alive with an iron hammer. Qian Qianyi didn't know or dare to ask why he killed this man alive, But he certainly would not want to be such a person, nor would he become Zhou Hui's enemy.

Qian Qianyi knows that Zhou Hui is the leader of the East Hall royal guards of Liu bu. He is a ruthless, shameless and loyal dog. If he is not satisfied, he will be killed by him.

Even so, seeing the disappointed faces of the army and people in Zhenjiang, he still blushed after all. He had to say, "I'm not afraid of death, but for the people in the south of the Yangtze River."
