Chapter 86 Heavenly King Lao Tzu, Can You Do It?

After chatting for a while, Lin Dong also knew the whole story, the army was pressing in layer upon layer, the Hunan Army continued to increase their size, and the Tongcheng side was holding the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom reinforcements to death, not giving them a chance.

Bao Chaoting's battalion was fierce and brave, and fought to the death every time. Before the battle, he carried a flag of death and hung it high outside the fortress built by the Taiping Army. The battalion under his command bit Chen Yucheng's soldiers and horses like a mad dog.

Coupled with a knife inside, Ma Xinyi directly abolished two generals and a counselor here.

King Ying gradually couldn't bear the pressure, and he didn't even have time to settle accounts with Ma Xinyi.

Chen Yuben originally intended to lead the troops to hook up with General Tan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Suzhou Prefecture, break through the siege together, and return directly to Tianjing to regroup.

Of course, if you do this, you will never lose your face.

However, at this critical moment, a confidential letter from General Miao Peilin of the Nian Army came.

The content of the letter: "It's hard to defend a lonely city, and it's a big taboo for military strategists. Why should you be trapped by this demon..." In this letter, it was said that they asked to go to Shouzhou together and attack Bianjing together. This was a big promise made by Miao Peilin and Chen Yucheng.

"Chen Yucheng is quite emotional now, but he didn't know that Miao Peilin, the general of the Nian Army, formally surrendered to the imperial court three days ago, and enjoyed [-] engravings of dragon energy, and his position is equivalent to that of a governor."

"This letter is from our commander in chief."

Wu Youwei said lightly.

Ma Xinyi's eyes were puzzled, his hands were behind his back, and he kept rubbing the finger on his thumb, and asked, "Is there any fraud on Miao Peilin's side?"

Wu Youwei smiled contemptuously and said: "Miao Peilin is a scumbag! He has tens of thousands of soldiers but only dares to defend one place. Besides, since the dragon energy can be blessed to him, at least, at this time, he will not turn his back on him. Although he is double-faced, but his courage is very poor, there is nothing to fear."

The word "double-faced and three-knife" sounds a bit harsh even to Lin Dong.

Ma Xinyi didn't take it to heart at all, and automatically blocked these four words.

"So, what the commander-in-chief meant must be that I should cooperate with sending troops to attack Shucheng, right?"

Ma Xinyi hooked his head slightly at first, and said softly, then he raised his eyes suddenly, staring at Wu Youwei with his eyes like torches.

Wu Youwei was shot by the bright eyes, and couldn't help but tremble. He said seriously: "As expected of the commander-in-chief, he is a great talent with both Chinese and martial arts. That's right, Ma Xinyi, listen to the order quickly. I will go to the camp first, Qingrui camp, Fengzi camp, Shenji camp... Ten camps, all members cooperate with you in the battle, there is only one requirement, and Shucheng must be captured."

"As for the troops on Chen Yucheng's side, you don't have to worry at all. There is a large army to restrain them. Now Chen Yucheng wants to break through the siege, not defend the city."

"Taking a step back, the focus of our battle has shifted. Even if all the checkpoints in Yangchang County are lost, it doesn't matter much. As long as Shucheng is captured, Chen Yu will be a dead dog in the urn! You and I have made great contributions."

……

Ma Xinyi's Adam's apple was rolling, and his face was covered with frost. It was bullshit to cooperate well.

This is to use his hands to go shopping, and use the bones of his brothers in the village to pile up the steps of his progress.

At the same time, this is a real nomination certificate.

One for the Linhuai Army, one for Yuan Sanjia, and one for the imperial court—see Ma Xinyi's determination to satisfy everyone with his vote!

"it is good!"

Ma Xinyi promised, the good word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, and the temperature of the military tent seemed to be three points colder.

"Thank you, General Ma."

Wu Youwei said with a deadpan expression.

After Lin Dong listened to the whole process, he felt worthless for Zhang Wenxiang again.

Zhang Wenxiang wanted to protect the cottage, but what he got was such an ending.

Where is Shucheng?
That was a nail that went into the three places of Zhejiang, Su and Lu.

It is a bloody battle after another, a meat grinder that piles up names.

When Lin Dong went to Hefei Mansion back then, he didn't dare to drill into that place, so he only took a shallow look at the periphery.

Zhu Fengkui, the general guarding the city of Shucheng, was named after Shi Dakai, the king of martial arts, and the number one blood warrior in the Taiping Army.

"Marshal Yuan, you think highly of us."

Lin Dong replied in a tone-deaf way.

He did see the whole plan, but he didn't intend to tell Zhang Wenxiang about these things. Once he did, it would easily cause another disturbance on the battlefield.

In a way.

Lin Dong's character and demeanor are gradually approaching Ma Xinyi.

Taking down Shucheng is beneficial to everyone except Zhang Wenxiang!
Everything he guarded, his brother's dream, will be shattered.

However, defeating Shucheng was also necessary for Lin Dong.

Only by capturing Shucheng.

Only he can do what he wants to do. It's better to suffer for the second brother than for the three brothers to suffer, right?
"I'm sorry." Lin Dong could only sigh in his heart.

Brotherhood, after all, cannot compare to the current interests.

He and Ma Xinyi are like dogs.

……

"The only son in the family came out."

"Those who are disabled and inconvenient to move out."

"Very good, brothers below, listen clearly, I, Ma Xinyi, said that I vowed to seek wealth and honor with you all, and I did it!"

"The house at the foot of the mountain, the property, which one is promised to everyone?"

"Going out of the city today is a battle to the death, a bloody battle, and a battle for wealth! If we lose everything, our houses and fields will all be taken back, and the women can only be driven back to the village alone, or even suffer even more cruel misfortune!"

"If you win, I will promise you a great fortune. Give it to the mansion! Give it land! Give it silver, give it gold!"

"The county government warehouse has 300 taels of gold and 2000 taels of silver. Brother, I will send them to everyone here first. Do you agree?"

Ma Xinyi stood on the high platform of the school grounds, and immediately called all the battalions for a mobilization meeting.

As Lao Ma said, he has fulfilled what he promised to the cottage, and it is exactly the same, Ma Xinyi's voice in the cottage now has long overwhelmed Zhang Wenxiang.

The response from the crowd was extraordinary, and everyone shouted enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, okay."

Wu Youwei, who was in the distance, rubbed his ears at the noisy sound.

Zhang Wenxiang looked at the big brother on the school stage with a look of bewilderment, and the folks around him who were inspired by him. He said in a daze: "Third brother, tell me, what is a bloody battle, a deadly battle? Why has no one told me?"

A bad thought ran around in Zhang Wenxiang's heart.

"This……"

Lin Dong couldn't bear it in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he turned cold.

"We're going to fight Shucheng."

"What? Shucheng!"

Zhang Wenxiang couldn't help but glared, and was about to rush forward, but at this moment, Lin Dong grabbed his shoulders.

Looking at that angry cheek, Lin Dong didn't even think about it, and lightly swung the knife in his hand, hitting the back of Zhang Wenxiang's neck, knocking him out.

"I'm sorry, second brother."

He said slowly, becoming Ma Xinyi's accomplice.

Lin Dong took Zhang Wenxiang's arm and dragged him aside.

On the other side, Ma Xinyi continued to talk loudly on the stage.

"To fight a big battle is to gamble!"

"Gamble life, bet death, bet wealth!"

"Brothers, are you willing to fight with me! If you are willing to go, you will get five taels of silver, and you will be rewarded with a tael of gold if you are a general or higher!"

"If Shucheng is defeated, everyone will get five taels of gold!"

……

If it hadn't been for the imperial court fighting the Taiping army for many years, almost everything in Shucheng would have been wiped out. Lin Dong estimated that Ma Xinyi would even have spoken harshly and robbed the city for three days.

The faces of the soldiers in the cottage were like wolves and tigers, almost bursting into flames.

These are all those who have eaten meat with Ma Xinyi, and the newly recruited soldiers were originally anxious, but when they heard the word "gold", their brains were burned by greed in an instant, and the group echoed each other, shouting like a flood.

"Master Ma uses troops, this is the way of the Hunan Army."

Wu Youwei watched with great interest, then stood aside and commented.

Every time the Hunan Army faced a big battle, it would definitely promise a lot of money, massacre the city, fight a dull battle, fight a tough battle, kill people and rob everyone.

It's fine if you don't have an advantage. Once you establish an advantage, you will expand your advantage step by step.

Lin Dong didn't reply to him.

"This guy, will it be a hindrance?"

Wu Youwei couldn't help but ask one more question. Of course, it was Zhang Wenxiang who got in the way with the middle finger.

"He's my brother."

Lin Dong said coldly.

He planned to help Zhang Wenxiang to Bai Zhi's side, so that his sister-in-law could persuade his second brother well.

Hitting Shucheng, this is what people want, and no one can stop it!
I can't do it!

The second brother Zhang Wenxiang is even worse!
