Yang Xiuqing's maze array successfully deceived everyone in Jiangning City, including Wu Chaoyue, who had just picked up a beautiful little widow. When he saw the Taiping Army going to the Shence Gate to increase troops from afar, he heard the slogans of "Planting the Shence Gate" and "Catching Wu Xiaoyao alive", Wu Chaoyue, who had previously suspected that the Taiping Army would attack the Shence Gate, was shocked again. He really thought that he had beaten the Taiping Army too badly, which was counterproductive and completely angered the Taiping Army. Therefore, the Taiping Army was determined to fight to the end with him and avenge the Taiping Army soldiers who were cruelly killed by him.

The members of the Tiandihui, an ally of the Taiping Army in Jiangning City, were also very powerful. They had been active rampant during this period. They kept posting various notices to intimidate and shake the hearts of the Jiangning army and the people, and spying on various military information of the Qing army to send them out of the city through special channels to offer to the Taiping Army. After receiving the order from the Taiping Army, the members of the Tiandihui Society also spread a large number of rumors that the Taiping Army would inevitably step on the Shence Gate and seek revenge. The soldiers and civilians in the city believed it, causing a large number of ordinary people near the Shence Gate to flee. Lu Jianying and Xianghou were also scared to send additional Lian Yong to the Shence Gate again. Qi Suzao proposed to transfer Wu Jun Lian Yong back to the city as a general reserve team, and Lu Jianying, who was scared, turned aside.

Under such circumstances, Wu Chaoyue certainly thought that it was difficult for his own army to break through the battlefield of Shence Gate, and immediately got up to the idea of ​​escaping from other city gates. He immediately focused on the Taiping Gate on the right side of Shence Gate, and used the excuse of patrolling the city and specifically running to Taiping Gate, exploring the terrain there to find a way to escape, and also took the opportunity to get in touch with the Qing army guards on the Taiping Gate. However, just when Wu Chaoyue invited the Taiping Gate guards Chen Xinli to have dinner at Shence Gate, Wu Jun came to report that the Taiping Gate had another abnormal movement. Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to hurriedly return to Shence Gate to preside over the defense.

When he returned to Shence Gate, he looked north and saw that the situation on the Taiping Army was indeed wrong. In addition to building the camps in Xiaguan Wharf, the Taiping Army came from Xiaguan Wharf to destroy the houses outside the city and widen the roads directly under the Shence Gate Gate. Wu Chaoyue complained even more and said that the Taiping Army was to facilitate the convenience of transporting large siege weapons directly to the city. Geng Luo, who had some military experience, also saw that something was wrong and said to Wu Chaoyue: "Brother Wu, Changmao took the initiative to help us demolish the house. I'm afraid that it was not a good intention, what should I do?"

"Of course it's not a good intention."

Wu Chaoyue answered angrily. When Geng Luo asked the Taiping Army why it was done so, Wu Chaoyue could not answer, but just thought about it: "There is insufficient information, and I can't guess the real intention of Changmao, but if an army goes out to rush and test the reality of Changmao, maybe some clues can be found."

"Then you can take your Pian Yong out for a rush." ​​Geng Luo immediately suggested.

"I won't fight anymore?" Wu Chaoyue said angrily: "My ammunition is bought from foreigners. I can't replenish it in Jiangning. I've been exhausted. When the Hair starts an attack, what will I use to fight?"

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue said to Geng Luo again: "Brother Geng, should you move? The long hairs that demolished the house must be auxiliary soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is relatively poor. If you lead the army out to rush, you should have a great chance of success."

When Geng Luo heard this, he shook his head and said repeatedly that he did not have the courage, but that the green camp soldiers under his command were really unreliable, and that he was the guard of Shence Gate. According to the rules, he could not go out of the city to fight without Lu Jianying's personal dispatch. As a result, when Geng Luo and Wu Chaoyue were humbly pushing each other, someone suddenly said behind the two rats who were afraid of death: "General Geng, Master Wu, if you don't mind, you are willing to send your subordinates out of the city to fight Changmao."

Geng Luo and Wu Chaoyue were overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly turned around to see who had such great courage. However, they saw that Dong Zhang Jigeng, a gentry from the Preparatory Defense Bureau who had come to Shence Gate, stood behind them. Wu Chaoyue was stunned and asked again, "Mr. Bingyuan, when did you come?"

"Just arrived." Zhang Jigeng smiled and showed a document, saying: "Lu made a constitutional order to lead 600 brave soldiers to come to Shencemen to assist the guard. Master Wu, from now on, we will be comrades-in-arms who fight side by side."

"Welcome, welcome." Wu Chaoyue had already learned something about Zhang Jigeng from Huizheng. He knew that the bravery brought by Zhang Jigeng was somewhat as brave as the Taiping Army, and was one of the few reliable troops in Jiangning City. So Wu Chaoyue really welcomed Zhang Jigeng's arrival. However, after the welcome, Wu Chaoyue suddenly remembered something and asked: "Mr. Bingyuan, the group training you handled was not already outside Jubao Gate... That's it, why did six hundred bravery emerge in his hand?"

When talking about the Jubao Gate, Zhang Jigeng's expression was gloomy, but he quickly cheered up and said, "The army training I had handled before was indeed wiped out, but the young student spent all his family funds to recruit Jian Yong, and persuaded some wealthy gentry and wealthy Jiangning households to donate funds to support the army. In the past few days, he recruited another 600 Jian Yong to continue to serve our Qing court."

"I am really a loyal and hard-core traitor." Wu Chaoyue contempts him, but says, "Mr. Bingyuan, since you voluntarily go to fight, don't worry, I will cover you on the city wall with Lian Yong, and promise that I will never repeat the mistakes of Jubaomen."

When Zhang Jigeng heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked Wu Chaoyue. He couldn't wait to ask Geng'ao for orders to fight. Geng'ao was hoping that the more cannon fodder, the better Geng'ao naturally did not refuse. After making arrangements quickly, Zhang Jigeng really sent his 300 Lianyong out of the city, and used simple weapons to attack the Taiping Army soldiers who were demolishing houses and opening roads.

Not to mention, Zhang Jigeng really has a good idea in coaching coaching. Although the weapons and equipment he brought out were extremely poor, his morale and fighting spirit were quite high, and he had the advantage of familiarizing himself with the terrain. He still fought with the engineers of the Taiping Army in the street fighting with a wooden stick. He had never seen any defeat for a long time. His tenacity made Wu Chaoyue unable to help but praise him.

The reaction of the Taiping Army was slightly beyond Wu Chaoyue's expectations. Seeing Jiang Ning Lianyong fighting out of the city to fight with their engineers, the Taiping Army, which had just moved from Xiaguan this morning, did not send troops to reinforce, but only continued to build camps and build camps. On the contrary, the camp of Li Kaifang's troops of the Taiping Army who had moved there had been reinforcements, and it didn't take much time to beat Zhang Jigeng's Lianyong to run away, and fled to the city in a mess to seek cover for Wu Jun Lianyong's firepower.

Then, although the Taiping Army also launched a pursuit, it stopped after chasing about outside the city wall. Then it quickly retreated and turned back to cover the engineers to continue demolishing the house. Seeing this, Wu Chaoyue always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while. Geng Luo next to him felt very sorry and cursed: "Damn it, Changmao has also learned to rape and dare not come over to die."

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. When Wu Chaoyue heard Geng Luo's words, he was shocked and quickly turned to Geng Luo and asked, "Brother Geng, what did you say just now? Say it again for me."

"I said Changmao was learning to rape and dared not come over to die." Geng Luo repeated in confusion and asked again: "Brother Wu, is there anything wrong with my words? If Changmao dares to rush over, your brother will have a chance to shoot?"

"shot?!"

Wu Chaoyue finally found out that something was wrong. The Taiping Army, who defeated Zhang Jigeng's Zhengyong, stopped after chasing him one mile away. It was obvious that he knew how far the range of Wu Jun's Jianyong's musket was. Knowing that chasing him again would only be a living target for Wu Jun's Jianyong to practice his marksmanship in vain!

In this way, some new problems appeared in Wu Chaoyue's mind. Why didn't the Taiping Army use a new call to establish a battalion outside Shence Gate to reinforce the street fighting battlefield? But they have to use the old army that has already fought bravely with the Wu army to reinforce the street fighting battlefield? Because the generals of the Taiping Army are good at fighting, it is impossible for them to even take turns to fight and consume the enemy's physical strength, right?

"Is there something wrong with the Taiping Army that came this morning?"

Wu Chaoyue suddenly thought of this important question and quickly raised his telescope to carefully observe the new Taiping Army. Unfortunately, the distance was too far to see the specific situation of the new Taiping Army, and he could not see what equipment and age the new Taiping Army soldiers were. But Wu Chaoyue carefully discovered that although the number of the new Taiping Army was huge, the construction speed of the camp seemed to be not as fast as that of the previous Taiping Army.

Although he noticed some flaws, Wu Chaoyue was still not sure about the suspicion in his heart. Today, the tens of thousands of Taiping Army were newly arrived, and it was probably the old and weak army who were bluffing and pretending to behave!

However, when he was in a dilemma, Wu Chaoyue thought of a verification method and quickly used a telescope to see the road between the new camp and the magnificent mountain. Then, a bigger flaw appeared in Wu Chaoyue's telescope. When the new Taiping Army transported the wood to establish the camp, the height of the wood piled on the car was obviously a bit low! In other words, the Taiping Army soldiers were probably unable to install more wood on the car because they were not physically strong!

After discovering this problem, Wu Chaoyue's heartbeat of course began to speed up, and he also vaguely guessed the real purpose of the Taiping Army's bluffing at the Shence Gate. Then Wu Chaoyue immediately pulled Wu Dasai aside without hesitation and whispered in his ear: "Select two reliable training from our army to prepare for leaving the city late at night. Tonight, I will put them down the city with a rope and let them touch the new camp to see the situation for me, especially pay attention to the new weapons and equipment of the long hair, as well as their age. But remember, top secret, no outsiders are allowed to know about this except our people!"

When Wu Dasai nodded and agreed, Zhang Jigeng, the hard-core traitor over there, had already discovered that Wu Chaoyue was whispering to Wu Dasai, and asked with a smile: "Master Wu, what are you talking about quietly? Did you think of any trick to defeat the enemy? If you have any, remember to support Xiaosheng. Xiaosheng went bankrupt to the country, but he was looking forward to the military rewards of the platform to make subsidies for military use."

"It's all your business!" Wu Chaoyue cursed in his stomach, but said with a smile: "Mr. Bingyuan misunderstood. Is it so easy to think of the strategy of breaking the enemy? I saved a poor, homeless woman last night and agreed to take care of her, so I asked my personal captain to rent a house and buy clothes for her."

Zhang Jigeng did not doubt that he was there, and said that he continued to observe the enemy situation and let his people go to fight and return to the city. Only then did Wu Chaoyue remember the beautiful little widow Li Fu that he rescued last night, and decided to take time to take a look at her situation.

The plan did not change quickly. In the evening when Wu Chaoyue was preparing to go down the city, Lu Jianying, Qi Suzao and others suddenly came to the city to inspect the military situation. Wu Chaoyue had to stay and accompany him. He finally sent these plague gods away, but the sky was already dark. Geng Luo was shameless and had to go to the Wu army camp for a meal. Wu Chaoyue had to give up his plan to visit Li Fu today - Geng Luo is not a good bird. If he saw Li Fu's appearance, maybe new trouble would come.

So it was not until the morning of the next day that Wu Chaoyue took time to visit Li Fu. After being led by his personal soldiers into the courtyard next to the station, he saw Li Fu watering several pear trees in the courtyard before knocking on the door. It was early spring when the pear blossoms were blooming. Li Fu, who had already returned to women's clothing, stood beneath the flowers. The white petals were floating, like flower rain. Li Fu's long hair was fluttering, white skin, red lips, and picturesque eyebrows, as if comparing beauty with flowers. It immediately gave Wu Chaoyue a sense of stunning feeling, which also made Wu Chaoyue stop and couldn't help but break this beautiful picture. The thin and ugly face showed the image of a pig brother, and cursed in his heart again, "Fuck! Why is he a widow?!"

Finally, it was Wu Chaoyue's personal soldiers' speech that broke the tranquility. The alarmed Li Fu looked up and saw Wu Chaoyue standing outside the window peeking at him. His face was as slimming as the common hooligans and rogues on the street. Li Fu couldn't help but show shame, and at the same time he was secretly wondering, "Why is he just coming to see me now?"

In fact, as early as when she took the initiative to reveal her true appearance to Wu Chaoyue, Li Fu had already prepared to be bullied and insulted by Wu Chaoyue, because Li Fu knew very well that if she had been desperate, she would not have any good endings even if she was not found by her vicious parents-in-law and arrested and beaten and abused, she would never have any good endings. She could starve to death. After a man discovered her true appearance, she would definitely not be able to escape and be abused. So Li Fu had already made up her mind at that time. If Wu Chaoyue really made any shameless requests to her, she would grit her teeth and endure it, commit herself to Wu Chaoyue, and also took the opportunity to let Wu Chaoyue take her in forever. Although Wu Chaoyue was ugly, she was still pretty good-hearted. She was the one who deserved to be with her. At least Li Fu himself thought so.

But what Li Fu did not expect was that after she took the initiative to wash away the mud on her face, the brave soldiers under Wu Chaoyue looked at her and all laughed in a low voice saying that Wu Chaoyue had taken a big advantage this time. Wu Chaoyue did show a lustful expression in front of her, but he had never tampered with her once, and had never said a vulgar word. Even if Li Fu regards himself as a slave, kneels down to serve Wu Chaoyue in changing clothes and shoes, Wu Chaoyue does not have any evil behavior. After she put her in a nearby courtyard with confidence, she did not show up in front of her for a whole day, as if she had never thought about taking advantage of others' danger and forcing Li Fu to do something that he didn't want to do but could not do. The gentleman is so gentle that Li Fu can't believe it, and it also makes Li Fu doubt her for the first time. "Does this Mr. Wu look down on me?"

He opened the yard door with a pretty face blushing and invited Wu Chaoyue into the yard. The personal soldiers were tactful and did not follow in. However, Wu Chaoyue did not mention anything to bring Li Fu into the room and talked, but just asked: "How is it? Are you used to living here?"

"Mr. Xie cares, and the little girl only wants to have a tiles covering her body." Li Fu replied with a blushing face: "I am overjoyed to have such a good yard to live in."

"That's good." Wu Chaoyue nodded, took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and handed it to Li Fu, and said, "Military affairs are busy. I can't come to see you from time to time, and I can't take care of your food and clothing. You can take this amount of silver first. If you want to eat and wear, go to the base to find me. If I don't, I can tell my Lian Yong about it, and they will report it to me."

"Thank you, Master." Little Li Fu, blushed and took the silver, and then took the initiative: "Master Wu, please sit in the room, and the little girl will make tea for you now."

"There is no need for tea." Wu Chaoyue shook his head and said, "I will get up to the city immediately, so I won't sit anymore, I have to leave immediately."

"Leave when you meet? He really has no thought to me?" Li Fu, who urgently needs to get Wu Chaoyue's support, couldn't believe her ears. Seeing that Wu Chaoyue was really raising his legs to leave, Li Fu was anxious and said hurriedly: "Master Wu, please wait."

"What else?" Wu Chaoyue stopped and asked.

"Master Wu, if you have any documents to deal with, you can let your daughter serve you." Li Fu said with a blushing face: "The little girl has learned to write and write in small calligraphy since she was a child. Even the little girl's father who is a teacher's teacher often praises her. The little girl noticed that you don't seem to have any teacher or aide. If you have any documents to write, you can ask the little girl to write for you at any time and let the little girl repay your kindness like heaven."

"Okay." Wu Chaoyue was amused when he heard this and said, "The biggest headache for me is writing official documents. Since you have good writing skills, when I want to write official documents in the future, I will ask my personal soldiers to ask you for help."

"Don't you come in person?"

Li Fu was a little stunned, but at this moment, Wu Dasai hurried to Wu Chaoyue, saluted Wu Chaoyue first, then leaned into Wu Chaoyue's ear and whispered: "Young Master Sun, the two Jian Yongs we sent are back. Last night they took the risk to approach the long-haired camp and found that the new long-haired people were only a large number, but their weapons and equipment were very poor. The soldiers were neither old men nor children. Even the ones patrolling at night were female soldiers and half-grown children!"

Hearing this, Wu Chaoyue's heart, which had been in his throat, was immediately put back into his stomach. He waved his hand with excitement and said, "Okay! That's good! As I expected, Changmao was really pretending to scare me!"

"Changma pretended to scare you?" Wu Dasai was confused and asked, "Master Sun, why did Changma scare you?"

"I will tell you again on the way, remember that this matter must be kept secret, and tell the two brothers that they will keep the matter last night in their hearts and cannot tell anyone! Let's go up to the city!"

He said in a low voice, and Wu Chaoyue forgot to say goodbye, and led Wu Dasai and others to the Shence Gate City, leaving Li Fu in a daze in the courtyard, murmured in his heart, "All think I don't exist? Does he really look down on me?"
Chapter completed!
