    According to Fatty Lu's crow words, it is indeed a blessing for Han Daren, the general of the Wu army, to meet such an excellent enemy as Master Beizi of Zhangtai. It not only helped Han Daren get rid of Lu Fatty's despicable frame, but also frustrated Han Daren's ambition  His ambition was finally fulfilled, and he saw a glimmer of hope to replace Fatty Lu, the unqualified General Wu Jun Zhengdong, with one foot.  The courage to guarantee that he can break through a strong city like Jiujiang within the four-way drum.

    Fortunately for Han Daren, the surviving defenders of the Jiujiang Qing army vomited blood completely. Now the siege infantry of the Wu army have just climbed the city wall, and their foothold is not very stable.  Although the morale of the Qing army is low and the morale of the army is lax, a considerable part of the generals and soldiers still have fighting spirit, and the force is quite sufficient. As long as the command is proper, the deployment is reasonable, and the troops are deployed in a timely and appropriate manner, the soldiers of the Wu army will be driven off the city wall again.  It's not hopeless, and it can even be said that there is quite a lot of hope!

    But in such a good situation, just after seeing Wu Jun's siege infantry rushing up the city wall, and Wu Jun's vanguard banner had just been planted on the city wall, our Master Zhangtai Beizi ran away timidly.  The generals and soldiers of the Qing army who were still fighting bloody battles on the city wall fled, and the generals and soldiers of the Qing army who were still fighting Wu Jun on the city wall collapsed.  Countless generals and soldiers at the grassroots level threw their weapons to the ground and shouted with red eyes, "No more fights! No more fights! The officials have already run away first, so why should we fight? Surrender! I surrender!"

    "Child Zhangtai, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" Zhao Dengju, Zhang Sheguang and other key generals of the Qing army also cursed with red eyes, completely ignoring that Zhangtai's eighteenth generation ancestor is the eighteenth generation ancestor of Kang Mazi, "  You stupid pig! Jiujiang fell, you are the number one sinner!"

    "Coach Man Gou ran away! Surrender not to kill! Man Gou coach ran away, surrender not to kill!" Han Daren had the guts to compete with Fatty Lu for the position of coach of Wu Jun's East Route Army.  If he fled, he immediately ordered the whole army to shout slogans to shake the morale of the Qing army and boost the morale of the army.  When the soldiers and generals of the Qing army heard such slogans and saw that Zhangtai's handsome flag had disappeared from the tower, their morale was in turmoil and their morale collapsed. They either surrendered or retreated and fled.  Controlled the city wall of Jiujiang West Gate.

    "Boom!" Without the interference from the bows, arrows, rolling stones and trees of the Qing army defenders, Wu Jun took the opportunity to cut off the suspension cables of the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge crashed to the ground.  Creaking and crumbling, the soldiers of the Qing army inside the city gate were terrified, and they gave up resistance and fled into the city.  The cheers were like thunder, and the tide flooded into the city.

    At this time, the follow-up troops of the Wu army led by General Hu Tongchun and Quan Jie had already reached the base of the city, and entered the city directly along the opened gate.  Fleeing for their lives, Wu's army marched straight in and went straight to the depths of the street, shouting slogans of surrender and not killing, and seized important strongholds such as government offices, granaries, stables, and arsenals.  There were also several troops who went up the corridor separately, and flanked the remaining defenders of the Qing army on the city wall with the friendly troops who ascended the city.  Fires broke out in the city, and the sound of killing and crying shook the sky, almost like Shura's hell.

    At this point in the battle, even if Dong Weiguo returned to Jiujiang City, he would definitely not be able to recover. In desperation, Zhao Dengju, Zhang Sheguang and others had to hastily organize the remaining defeated soldiers around, and rushed along the city wall all the way to the north.  Fleeing for their lives at Shuimen Wharf, many troops also fled from the east gate of Jiujiang, where Wu Jun deliberately did not deploy troops to intercept them.  The four gates from east to west, north, south, and north were all screaming and chaotic, but there were very few generals who organized the defenders to start street fighting. They were all scrambling to escape from the city.

    At the same time, on the Yangtze River battlefield, the navy of the Qing army led by Yang Jie struggled upstream, and finally saw the shadow of Li Guodong, the navy of the Wu army, and news of the destruction of Jiujiang City came from behind.  In addition to unbelievable speed of Wu Jun's destruction of the city, Yang Jie also died and wanted to fight to the death with Li Guodong, the traitor who gave Yuezhou to Wu Jun.  Save as many brothers as you can save!"

    When the flag was played, the Qing army fleet quickly turned around and quickly retreated to the way it came.  Seeing this scene, generals at all levels of the Wu Jun Navy flocked to Li Guodong to ask for a battle, asking the whole army to attack and beat the dog in the water. Li Guodong replied with a smirk: "Don't worry, wait a little longer. Don't forget the battle that General Lu gave us.  In principle, the Mangou sailors don¡¯t move, we don¡¯t move; the Mangou sailors take the initiative to attack, we defend; the Mangou sailors flee, wait until they are full and defeat the soldiers, and then fight again!¡± Fatty Lu has completely led him to ruin  All the generals of the Wu Jun navy laughed grinningly together, and each went back to the boat and waited patiently.

    &nbsMost of the reason why I was able to capture Jiujiang smoothly was because of my good luck, and maybe I felt that I didn't have much real talent and learning.

    At this time, Gao Hongchen's army had also sent the battle report. After the cavalry led by Gao Hongchen successfully ambushed Dong Weiguo's army near Tongyuan, he forced Dong Weiguo to lead his army to flee to Poyang Lake.  When Dong Weiguo's army was about to be wiped out on the shore of Poyang Lake, two Qing army warships drilled out of Poyang Lake and picked up Dong Weiguo, Zhao Yingkui and others on board.  The tactical purpose of annihilating Dong Weiguo's army.

    "Dong Weiguo ran away?" Fatty Lu frowned, and hurriedly asked the messenger, "Where is the dog-man warship from? Did you see the flag? Could it be the man-dog warship from Raozhou or Hukou?  "

    "Back to the general, judging from the flag, it should be a full dog warship in Jiujiang." The messenger replied respectfully.

    "That's good." Fatty Lu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Since it's Jiujiang Mangou's warship, then I don't have to worry about Dong Weihui being sent to Nanchang."

    "Brother Lu, why are you so sure?" Gao Dejie asked worriedly.

    "It's very simple. Dong Weiguo's suspicion of collaborating with the enemy has not been cleared up to now." Fatty Lu replied: "So even if Yang Jie had a hundred guts, he would not dare to send Dong Weiguo to Nanchang, Jiangxi, but would only send him to Anqing, Anhui.  Otherwise, once the Manchu court pursues it, it will be difficult for Yang Jie not to be implicated by Dong Weiguo."

    "That makes sense." Gao Dejie nodded, and then asked curiously: "Brother Lu, next step, do you plan to fight there first, Nanchang first, or Anqing first?"

    "This is the next step. The enemy's situation is ever-changing. We'd better adapt accordingly." Fatty Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "What I am most concerned about now is whether Zhangtai, a full dog, can break through our encirclement.  Is there any hope of a comeback?"

    "Master, why do you care about this?" Even Xiao Erlang couldn't help but interrupted and asked.

    "Stupid, for a good enemy like Zhangtai, of course I hope that he will live a long life, become a bigger official, and lead more soldiers." Fatty Lu replied with a wicked smile.  After thinking about it for a while, Fatty Lu beckoned Xiao Erlang to his face again, and whispered in his ear: "After Han Daren gathers the captive Man Gou, you can take a few people to find the Man Gou prisoners.  Look for it and see if you can find some of Zhangtai's confidantes or soldiers. If you find them, don't rush to cut their braids. First, treat them with good wine and food, and then when I am free, I will arrange for them to be taken away.  Bring it to me." (To be continued.
