Chapter 218: The Three Armies Join Forces to Cross the Yangtze River

As outside Jinling City, the Liangjiang New Army and the Huben New Army stationed on both sides of the Yangtze River declared their allegiance to Jin King Chen Huaian and held high the banner of Longcheng Jingnan First Army; Jinling City, the imperial capital of the Great New Dynasty, completely It became an isolated city.

Besieged on all sides and surrounded by dangers.

The so-called natural danger of the Yangtze River is self-defeating at this moment.

At this time, Jin King Chen Huaian's troops outside Jinling City had reached 330,000.

Chang Yuchun, deputy marshal of Longcheng troops and general of the southern expedition, also sent people to report that the 150,000 southern expedition army led by him would reach the north bank of the Yangtze River in the near future;

On the other hand, the 150,000-strong army led by Liu Ziyu, the deputy general of the Southern Expedition Army, went all the way south after capturing Kaifeng Mansion. The vanguard troops had already fought fiercely with part of the Huben New Army led by Zhao Kui, another deputy general of the Huben New Army. .

While soldiers and horses from both sides were fighting fiercely in the Tiger Beach area on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Tang Ziyi personally led an army of 100,000 people to help.

After Zhao Kui saw the flags with the word "武" fluttering in the wind, he immediately raised his sword and raised his arms and shouted: "If God does not destroy me, Zhao Kui, if God does not destroy our Tiger Army!"

The next moment, Zhao Kui saw a strange scene.

The reinforcements who originally held high the flag with the word "武" actually abandoned the flag with the word "武", and then raised huge flags of the King of "Jin"!

The King Jin's flag was so big that it looked like it was not owned by the Longcheng rebels' cavalry.

In fact, because Tang Ziyi, the deputy general who was in charge of the camp and acted as the general, decided to lead his troops to surrender to His Highness the King of Jin too eagerly.

And because after receiving the military order, another deputy general, Zhao Kui, led his troops and the fierce battle between the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army that went south broke out too suddenly;

As a result, Tang Ziyi had no time to order Qianhu, the personal soldier in charge of logistics, to hurry up and make the Jinwang Banner. In order to avoid accidental damage on the battlefield, he had to temporarily borrow the Jinwang Banner from the Longcheng Navy Fleet.

The huge King Jin flag hung on the mast of the warship is naturally not the same as the King Jin flag used by the Longcheng army's infantry and cavalry.

Therefore, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield of Laohutan - several flag bearers of the new Tiger and Ben army were able to hold up a Jinwang flag together, and they used all their strength to keep the flagpole intact. Knocked down by the river wind.

It was only then that Zhao Kui, the deputy general of the Huben New Army who was on the battlefield, who had followed General Wu Sanjia to establish the Huben New Army, finally realized that he had fallen into Tang Ziyi's trick!

Under the guise of a general, Tang Ziyi ordered Zhao Kui to lead his troops north to meet the enemy.

And Tang Ziyi himself had long been secretly communicating with the Longcheng rebels, working together internally and externally, with the intention of annihilating the new Huben army in one fell swoop!

However, even if Zhao Kui reacted at this time, it was too late.

He and the thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Guard New Army under his command have fallen into a pincer attack from the vanguard of Longcheng's southern expedition and Tang Ziyi.

Zhao Kui on horseback looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "Tang Ziyi, you are a treacherous villain who will not die well. You are a disloyal and unjust person. When the general welcomes the emperor back from Jiangyin, he will definitely not be able to spare you." your!"

"Tang Ziyi, this general fell into your hands today. Even if he is a ghost, he will not let you go. Just wait, you will definitely die a bad death——"

In front of the Laohutan battlefield where the river wind was roaring, the incompetent and furious Zhao Kui, the deputy general of Huben's new army, seemed so small and powerless, and was instantly swallowed up by the sound of the roaring waves of the Yangtze River.

And Tang Ziyi, who was eager to show his loyalty in front of His Majesty the King of Jin and submit his name, was unwilling to waste his precious time on the dying Zhao Kui.

He just waved his hand expressionlessly and gave the general order for the general attack: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack and put down the rebels!"

"The whole army attacked and put down the rebels——"

Almost at the same time.

In the camp of the Liangjiang New Army across the river, Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang who went into battle in person, also issued a battle order on horseback: "Pass the order, the whole force of the Liangjiang New Army will attack, and cooperate with the Longcheng water on the river. Division fleet, annihilate the Tengjia rebels in one fell swoop!”

"The whole army attacks and annihilates the Tengjia rebels!"

Along with the general's order for the entire army to attack, the war drums in the entire Liangjiang New Army camp were beaten at the same time, along with the impassioned horn sound.

The soldiers of the Liangjiang New Army, who were already ready to go and clutching their swords, guns, swords and halberds, were encouraged by the sound of war drums and horns. They rushed out of the camp one after another and rushed outside the camp. The Tengjia Army was under the pretense of reinforcements but was actually encircling them. camp.

The incident happened suddenly. Before the generals and soldiers in the Tengjia Army camp even understood what was going on, soldiers from the Liangjiang New Army rushed into the camp.

The Tengjia army in the camp had to fight in a hurry.

boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The next moment, "thunder" sounds like a bolt from the blue exploded one after another in the Tengjia Army's camp.

Just when the generals of the Tengjia Army were still surprised that there would be thunder for no reason in July when the sun was shining in the sky, they suddenly discovered that the tents in the camp were on fire with the sound of thunder. In an instant, thick smoke billowed and the entire camp was set ablaze. .

It was only then that these early "mercenaries" Tengjia Army soldiers from Nanzhao suddenly realized that this was not thunder at all, but some kind of powerful weapon that had never been seen before was harvesting Tengjia wantonly. The lives of soldiers.

On the Yangtze River channel outside the Tengjia Army camp, warships flying the Jinwang flag were pouring artillery fire wantonly into the Tengjia Army camp.

Finally, someone with sharp eyes recognized it and ran to shout: "On the river, the Longcheng Navy of Jin Wang Chen Huaian is floating on the river. The monsters that bombarded the camp are on the warships of the Longcheng Navy!"

"Everyone, run quickly--"

For a while, the camp of the Rattan Armor Army was in chaos.

The war that broke out on both sides of the Yangtze River gradually calmed down after several hours.

It was 3:00 pm.

The Longcheng Navy fleet, which was sailing on the Yangtze River waterway to assist the Liangjiang New Army, finally docked at the Laohutan Wharf on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

At this time, Chang Yuchun, the deputy marshal of the army, and Liu Ziyu, the deputy general of the Southern Expedition Army, who received the order from the Jin Wang, had already rushed to the Laohutan Wharf to welcome the Jin Wang before the main force.

Also accompanying them was Tang Ziyi, the deputy general of the Hu Ben New Army, who had just surrendered to the Jin Wang's account on the Laohutan battlefield with the life of his colleague Zhao Kui as a token of surrender.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. Long live the Prince of Jin, long live the Prince of Jin, long live the Prince of Jin, long live the Prince of Jin, long live the Prince of Jin!"

As they spoke, Chang Yuchun, Liu Ziyu, and Tang Ziyi all knelt down to pay respect to the Prince of Jin, shouting long live the Prince of Jin.

"No need to be polite!"

This time, Tang Ziyi, the deputy general of the Tiger Guards New Army, finally stood up like Chang Yuchun and Liu Ziyu, and straightened his back.

Chen Huaian didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "I have assisted the Liangjiang New Army on the south bank to clear the last obstacle for my Longcheng army to cross the river;"

"Pass on my order, the three armies will unite, force a crossing of the Yangtze River, and go straight to Nanjing!"

"I have received your order!"
