    "The slave boldly believes that it is time for the master to cross the Yellow River and visit the Yangzhou battlefield in person."

    Zhou Peigong's words were earth-shattering. It not only made Kang Mazi overjoyed, but also changed the faces of all the civil and military officials present. The old and prudent Prince Jian Labu was the first to jump up and shouted angrily: "Bold Zhou Peigong, before the master's personal expedition  , I have already made an agreement with the empress dowager's ancestors not to cross the Yellow River one step, and you know about it, now you are here to encourage the master to cross the river, against the ancestor's edict, what is your intention?!"

    "That's right! What are your intentions?" Kang Mazi's nephew and Prince Xian Danzhen, who had also been instructed by the old witch of Xiaozhuang, also jumped up, and said with a straight face: "Don't you see who the master is?  The master drives the body of Wancheng to cross the river and go deep into the dangerous land, have you eaten the guts of a leopard?"

    Although the other civil and military officials in the imperial tent did not dare to speak, they also peeked at Kang Mazi to observe Kang Mazi's reaction. Kang Mazi had a complex expression on his face.  Outburst - but the Yellow River is the guarantee that Kang Mazi personally made to the old witch of Xiaozhuang. At this time, accusing La Bu and Dan Zhen is tantamount to breaking the promise of the old witch of Xiaozhuang.  , Of course I can't open this mouth.

    "You two princes, please calm down for now." Zhou Peigong kowtowed his head and said calmly: "Of course, this servant knows the imperial edict of the empress dowager's ancestors and forbids the master to step across the Yellow River. However, given the current situation, once the master crosses the Yellow River  After crossing the Yellow River, the situation in the Jiangnan battlefield will undergo tremendous changes immediately, and all of them will develop in a situation that is beneficial to our Qing Dynasty. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again."

    "No matter how good the situation is, you can't ask the master to cross the river. This is the order of the ancestors!" Labu said even more angrily.

    "Shut up!" Kang Mazi finally opened his mouth, and said coldly, "Let Zhou Aiqing finish talking first, I will make my own decision whether to cross the river or not¡ª¡ªZhou Aiqing, please be flat, and speak in detail, the more detailed the better."

    "Thank you, master." Zhou Peigong kowtowed to thank, then stood up, and said very respectfully: "Master, the current situation in the Jiangnan battlefield is like this. Our main force on the northern front of the Qing Dynasty is attacking Yangzhou and occupying the upper hand on the northern front battlefield;  The Red-haired Kingdom and our Great Qingshui Division attacked Chongming and Songjiang, and also had an advantage on the eastern front; on the southern front, our Qing army joined hands with Geng Jingzhong to attack Huzhou and Hangzhou, and basically drew with Wugou's army and Zheng Ni's army;  Due to the deployment of troops, Wugou has two corps deployed on the western front, which has an advantage over our western army of the Qing Dynasty."

    "Nowadays, Lu Yifeng's dog thief not only did not send troops to rescue the three fronts, but also personally led the main force to launch the Western Expedition when the third line was in an emergency. His strategy is obvious, that is, to annihilate or severely damage the main force on the western front of our Qing Dynasty as soon as possible.  Let his main force be free to deal with attacks from the other three fronts calmly. If our Qing army does not make adjustments to counter-insurgency strategy as soon as possible, disrupt Lu Yifeng's dog thief's tactical steps, and continue the original peace  If we use treasonous tactics, then it may cause Lu Yifeng's thieves to gain time and achieve a treacherous plan to defeat our Qing army one by one."

    "It makes sense, I think so too." Kang Mazi nodded decently, as if Zhou Peigong's incisive analysis was exactly the same as his analysis.  At the end, Kang Mazi asked quite puzzled: "Since you want to disrupt the steps of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, why do you want me to cross the Yellow River in the south? There are only ten thousand troops around me, even if they are all thrown into the Yangzhou battlefield  , it doesn¡¯t help, does it?¡±

    "Master, you are too humble." Zhou Peigong hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master is a body of ten thousand gold, worth far more than a hundred thousand troops, a million troops! If the master can come to the Yangzhou battlefield in person, the soldiers of the three armies of the Qing Dynasty will surely  The morale of the army is high, and it is better to attack the city of Yangzhou in one fell swoop than to add a million troops!"

    "I think so too." Kang Mazi nodded, and said confidently: "The battlefield in Yangzhou has reached a stalemate. If I come to the city of Yangzhou in person, my Qing soldiers will definitely be able to use their lives, boost their morale, and break through Yangzhou in one fell swoop."

    "The slave believes that if the master appears on the Yangzhou battlefield, it will definitely not only be affected by the local battlefield in Yangzhou!" Zhou Peigong said firmly: "The entire Jiangnan battlefield will also undergo earth-shaking changes because of the master's visit to Yangzhou! First of all, Lu Yifeng  The main force of the western expedition of the dog thief, after hearing that the master came to Yangzhou in person, the dog thief Lu Yifeng must be extremely panicked, and became more and more anxious to defeat our main force on the western front of the Qing Dynasty.  Failure to do so will make it increasingly difficult to end the war on the Western Front quickly."

    "Secondly, now Yangzhou has been heavily besieged by our Qing army, and even the canal has been cut off by our Qing army. What is lacking is the last blow to break through Yangzhou! And", waved away Zhuman, who bit Lu Dongbin with his dog and didn't know the heart of a good prince, and then took out the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he carried with him, and devoted himself to studying it.

    In a short while, the preparations for the siege of the Qing army were completed, and the twenty-six red barbarian cannons brought by the army were lined up outside the east gate of Taiping City.  I built some simple flying ladders.  In view of the fact that the Fat Man Army has pulled up the suspension bridge, our Lord Zhang generously took out hundreds of rockets seized from Xia Guoxiang, and let the soldiers of the Qing army aim at the suspension bridge's suspension cable to launch, trying to blow up the suspension bridge suspension cable  .

    Seeing the opportunity, our Lord Zhang immediately arranged for the siege echelon. The second disobedient Ehena led the 4,000 people from the headquarters as the first siege team.  Qian is the second team, Shu Shu is the third team, and Mu Chenger, who barely disliked Prince Zhang, commanded the caravan, archer team and firearms team to form a temporary fortification on the side of the moat, suppressing the fat army on the city with bows, arrows and guns  garrison.  As for Zhu Man, who is the only one that makes Prince Zhang look pleasing to the eye, he is in charge of several positions, in charge of the blasting team, the artillery formation, the rocket team and the supervising team.  Although the generals of the Qing army were angry, they did not dare to object.

    After the arrangement was completed, the battle drums sounded, and the Qing Army rocket team rushed forward first, lined up within three miles of the city wall of Taiping Mansion, and aimed at the suspension bridge to launch.  The artillery shells poured on the city wall of the east gate of Taiping Mansion.  Huge explosions also resounded in the artillery formations of the Qing army and on the walls of Taiping City at the same time.

    Not to mention, Prince Zhang used Sanhao rockets to blow up the suspension bridge slings with thick arms. Although it was a bit whimsical, it did achieve results.  Although the soldiers were not injured much, the two hemp slings soaked in tung oil were actually broken by the Mihao rockets of the Qing army, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground with a crash.  Seeing this scene, cheers erupted in the Qing army, but Li Maozhu, Zhao Yansheng and others on the city wall looked at each other in dismay, and thought together: "Many dogs can also make three good rockets? Are you willing to waste it like this? But in  When the number of Miyoshi rockets is sufficient, they are really of practical value.¡±

    "Okay!" Prince Zhang cheered loudly, pointed at Erhene next to him, and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Want to delay the battle? Why don't you let me go?"

    "Cover." Erhene bit the bullet and agreed, Pegasus rushed to his direct line team, waved the command flag and shouted, "Siege the city! Kill!"

    "Kill¡ª¡ª!" Amidst the resounding slogans, four thousand soldiers of the Qing army, including many cavalrymen who had dismounted from their horses, rushed to the distant city wall of Taiping Mansion with a simple flying ladder on their shoulders.

    "Don't fire guns yet! Don't let go of rockets!" At the same time, on the city wall of Taiping Mansion, Li Maozhuo, the commander of the Fatty Army's garrison, also shouted and issued an order, "Let the first team full of dogs rush to the city first, and wait for the first team full of dogs to rush to the city.  The second and third teams of dogs come up, and then the cannons and rockets!"

    "Kill¡ª!" Amid thunderous shouts, Ehena's siege team gradually rushed within three miles, and it was also the most powerful position of the Fat Army's rockets and cannons.  What made Erhene overjoyed was that the fat army on the city wall just fired a few scattered shots and released a few Mihao rockets, which caused him very small casualties, and also watched his team helplessly.  Rush to the vicinity of the city wall, rush from the suspension bridge to the foot of the city wall, and put the flying ladder on the city wall.

    At the same time, Mu Chenger led the Mu convoy to follow up, built temporary fortifications on the edge of the moat, and shot and fired arrows desperately to suppress the defenders on the city.  And even in such a critical situation, the bows and arrows and muskets fired by the soldiers of the Fat Man Army on the city wall were still scattered and pitifully sparse, which seriously exposed the weakness of the insufficient defenders in the city.

    Seeing this scene, Niyahan, Shu Shu and other generals of the Qing army were inevitably overjoyed, and they all thought together that our Lord Zhang is really the number one lucky general in the Qing Dynasty, and no matter where he fights, he will happen to encounter the enemy's lack of troops?  And our Lord Zhang was so happy that he jumped three feet high and shouted: "Niyahan, what are you still doing? Go right now! Shu Shu, you are also ready. Niyahan rushed to the moat, and you too  Rush now!"

    "Zhuman! Zhuman, you idiot! The demolition team is ready, follow Niyahan's back! This time you will remember it for me! There is only one urn in Taiping City! Two city gates!" (To be continued.
