North of Jiangning City.

Under the walls of smoke, there was a strong smell in the air, which was a freshly-refined mud mixed with medicine smoke and a smell of flesh and blood.

When I was accompanied by armed soldiers, I hurriedly passed through the city wall that had become a pile of ruins. In the corridor that collapsed half of the side and was piled up, I could still see the cracked thick bricks and the blackened wall gaps, as well as the remaining part of the stone wall foundation. The originally towering and majestic charm was still there.

It’s a pity that all this was just a bigger mushroom and cloud blooming in the air at the cost of the costume city business trip.

But since I rushed out of the Stone City, I have no more mood to stay or feel moved.

Because, in the distance, the sound of gunfire and fighting, as well as the newly appeared smoke pillars and fire, were still reminding the continued battles and contacts in the city, and the current situation where I was not completely out of danger;

Those were several small troops responsible for alternately breaking the rear and restraining the troops, sniping the pursuers and outposts sent by the enemies in the city based on the terrain, and dispersing and diverting their focus and directions, and confusing them as much as possible to cover my departure.

At this time, although there were still people on the city wall in the distance peeking and inquiries here, they were killed one by one by one by the hunters around them and never dared to emerge again.

Occasionally, a few sporadic fissures came over, but before they reached me, they were all protected by the guards who were like wall screens, and were quickly swinging cards to block or block them.

I did not have more pretentiousness or pretentious behavior in this regard, but just turned around and turned to the soldiers who were checking weapons and building fortifications, voluntarily staying to guard and respond, and said simply, "Take care," and walked out without looking back.

After all, rather than saying a few more verbal bold words or a few light consolation words, it is better to let me, who is carrying more people's wealth, life, life, life, and hopes, get out of the predicament in time and get out of heaven, so that I can be more worthy of the price and sacrifice they have paid for this.

Climbing up to the low slope made by the ruins in the gap in the city wall took us a lot of effort and effort, especially the few women with limited mobility, who suffered all the hardships and hardships;

However, no matter whether it was Xiao Jinjun who was supported by Shi Niang or Wentingjun who was specially brought with me because she was secretly mingled with me, even if her dress was torn and dragged into threads and covered with dust, she did not show any more complaints or strange words.

For this breakthrough, which is in line with the inside and outside, we decisively gave up most things, including those valuable dowry and betrothal gifts, as well as relatively large, heavy and unfavorable cars and horses that move quickly.

There are also most of the flying fire thunder and grenades. During the impact of the breakout, the former was all fired out as firepower support; while the latter was thrown out along the way to break through the enemy and create chaos. The rest also created various temporary traps and mechanisms in the city to obstruct and hinder the progress of the pursuers.

Not long after the city wall gradually faded away, I finally saw the checkpoints for municipal taxes at the foot of Zijin Mountain, as well as the water-patterned wind and thunder flags floating above. I couldn't help but suddenly fell a heavy stone in my heart.

The foreign aids who appeared on the river this time were mainly from the Nanyang Navy who were waiting for the sea near Yizhou to Wengshan, and the naval soldiers who were carrying the ship and some of the defense troops who were taking turns to Yizhou.

After they received the news from the nearshore kite, they took out all their available assets and made great efforts, and there were not many people left in the house and left behind. Then, on the way to the journey, they gave up three warships due to the opposite tide and waves, and seven other warships of all sizes were left behind due to varying degrees of wind and wave damage.

After finally arriving near Wuzhou at the mouth of the Yangtze River, several strands and bottoming accidents occurred again due to relatively unfamiliar and complex hydrological conditions. Three transport ships were forced to give up, so that the remaining navy forces could forcibly enter the Yangtze River waterway.

But after all, they are from the offshore naval masters, and it is the same for the Jiangning naval army to deal with the severely damaged and defective Jiangning naval army, but the power and scope that can be put on land is relatively limited;

Therefore, after initially gaining the upper hand and winning momentum and taking advantage of the situation to attack and destroy the navy's garrison, they had already begun to approach the riverside, harass and restrained artillery at Jiangning City, and then put down the small boats loading with firearms and a few light soldiers, attacked and rushed into the river alleys in the western suburbs, and even set fire to the houses in the city below, making an attitude of intending to launch a strong attack on the side of the river.

Therefore, the foreign aid and support I can really rely on are actually the few naval battalions that have been launched one after another; however, they are basically lightweight land forces, and the corresponding technical equipment and ammunition and supplies are not too much, and the combat range and distance that can be supported are always limited.

Although in the early stages of the battle, it was easy to suppress and defeat the local troops outside the city, and easily beat them to the point of being defeated; if they really wanted to fight for a long time, they would be dragged into the rhythm of street fighting throughout the city, then the few people around me would be completely dropping the bucket and not enough to use it.

Once the opponent reacts from surprise and panic, he can make up for and consume with a huge gap in power with a huge gap in combat effectiveness and morale with the Huai Army.

And next, there is still a considerable distance and distance, and I am in the hostile sphere of influence and the hostile side. I really cannot tolerate a little slackness and negligence.

At the very least, I already know that Liu Yanqing's troops, who were originally stationed in Jiangbei, were unable to rely on some potential tasks, for the time being due to some accidents and accidents of severing contact.

.........

And in the chaos and complexity of Liuhousi, which was filled with some agitation and bad atmosphere, was also reporting the feedback from all over the city like a lantern.

“It’s Beiguangmen,”

"Beiguangmen was bombarded with gunpowder by Huai thieves,"

"The landslides and the earth are like cracks, and half of the gatehouse collapses below..."

"The commander Sun, Jiang Ti, who was stationed, rushed from nearby to reinforce Kuangdu Superintendent, Zhudu Yuhou, etc., had already died on the spot and died in the country."

"The rest of the people were shocked and scattered everywhere but could not respond, so they defended themselves..."

"There are also thieves in the city setting fires in the passage to block the road."

"The defense force's garrison was projected with flying fire thunder, so that the camp roared continuously..."

"So far, the town has not been closed with peace and stability..."

"The Jiangnan (Jiangning) Navy has finished..."

"One or two of them are left in ten, and even the base has been trapped by the enemy..."

"It is said that only a few ships remain, and they have retreated to Jiangzhou, which is upstream...

"Since then, there is no way to hinder the exchanges and escape of the Huai thieves...."

"The Jiangxi Army units have once again refused to send troops to pursue them because of the large amount of damage and poor food in Zibo."

"The Jinghu Army was ordered to attack, but it required a reward for the incomplete preparations."

"Qiongzhou Jianyong led General Yunao and led his light troops to circumvent the enemy north of the city. On the way to attack the enemy, Yu Xiaojinshan was hit by the firearms of the Huai bandits."

"I was martyred on the spot... Deputy Manager Feng Duwei took over his responsibility and continued to pursue the traces of Huai thieves."

"Yazhou Yiyong and Wan'an Yicong and his subordinates have become unknown since they left the city."

At this time, Sun Jingbang, the main party and host, also made a decisive move on the spot.

"Transfer troops, immediately dispatch troops from other states..."

"We need more people to surround and search for escaped thieves..."

"Since things have come to this point, what are you going to be afraid of?..."

"The other party has escaped. Do you still hope to keep the matter and insider... How long will it take to continue to control it?"

"The remedial and recovery can only be done to the best of our ability before the final agreement and disposal decision in Canton came down."

"After all, the imperial court's great title is still with us..."

"First mobilize and mobilize all the people who can be used in the river to surround me and block it."

"Just hold on or intercept one or two as much as possible..."
