Shi Heng led his men to travel day and night, and there were almost no obstacles along the way.

This is because the checkpoints in Taizhou and Yangzhou have been opened long ago, and some people in the court deliberately let this army go.

If it is a real Japanese pirate, this move is a typical example of a lonely army, but it is actually a taboo for military strategists.

As long as they were surrounded by the Ming army, three hundred people would become turtles in the jar.

Shi Heng led his troops for many years and had such rich experience. He knew very well that Chen Lang's slaughtered himself to fight in the front line and never cared about his life or death.

These three hundred people are from regular soldiers and have extremely strong combat power. In the past six months, they have fought everywhere, helping Chen Lang become the leader of the giant gangsters on the sea. However, this person is suspicious by nature and does not trust himself.

Perhaps, after entering Nanjing, he felt at ease, and all the 300 people behind him were killed.

Damn, after finishing the business, I will settle the score with you again!

Along the way, many people noticed this team, but most of them just looked at the hundreds of people leaving in a daze. After seeing the team leaving, they were still confused.

After two days and one night of rapid journey, on the third night, an accident finally occurred when I arrived in Jiangning County.

In fact, it cannot be considered an accident, because when the military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty saw the attack of Japanese pirates, they must fight back.

On the contrary, it is a real accident that is unobstructed.

However, the power of this counterattack is too weak.

Yingtian Prefecture is divided into Jiangning County and Shangyuan County. Entering Jiangning means entering Nanjing.

In Jiangning County, a merchant urgently informed the government of the intelligence. Ning Liang, the magistrate of Jiangning, thought the situation was suspicious, and immediately led all the county government troops, a total of 32 people, to ambush the official road.

"Sir, there is movement ahead!"

Although Ning Liang was a serious Jinshi, he was very knowledgeable about military tactics.

He raised his hand and said calmly: "Don't hurry, wait for the enemy to approach."

Seeing that his subordinates seemed to have no understanding, Ning Liang said proudly: "The key to military strategy is to attack him without preparation. As long as he rushes, the other party will be in trouble... It's coming!"

In the night sky, a gong sounded, and bows and arrows shot from both sides!

Of course, bows and arrows are sparse. Logically speaking, the archer should practice bow shooting every day. Generally speaking, a qualified archer needs to practice for at least two or three years to develop.

But this is a servant in the county government, so it would be nice to be able to draw the bow...

Therefore, when the bow and arrow are shot, it not only does not have accurate heads, but also has no penetration power.

Fortunately, there was still aura. There were shouting and killing everywhere on the road, and more than 30 people lying in ambush nearby rushed out together.

Ning Liang shouted: "As long as we attack him without any preparation, the opponent will be distracted, and you can take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and you can...

His voice seemed excited, but when he said this, he stopped abruptly.

Because...when he saw the number of people on the other side, he turned to curse...

Which turtle boy told me that a small group of Japanese pirates attacked, is this a small group of damn it?

What is even more surprising is that not only did these people not be in chaos, but whistles immediately came out after being attacked.

Then, everyone started to gather in the direction of the whistle, and all movements were orderly.

Ning Liang was not in any regular army, but just a servant from the county government, and he was immediately panicked.

Some people who are full of survival even turn around and run away.

The actions on the other side were more like regular troops of the court. After shrinking, they immediately launched a counterattack and surrounded the more than 30 people from the county government.

Seeing this, Ning Liang's mouth was still open, but his eyes were about to fall off.

What's going on?

He thought that the strange plan he had set would be successful, but he never thought that he had no chance to fight, but it was completely different from what he saw in the military books.

The officers around him were already scared and said with a panic look: "The enemy is powerful, so sir, please... retreat first!"

Ning Liang came back to his senses and cursed: "Of course I have to run away, I'm going to kill you!"

In the blink of an eye, the other party was already running towards this.

Ning Liang hurriedly retreated and shouted, "Run quickly, go back and bring reinforcements!"

But when I turned around, the servants around me had already run away.

Ning Liang:...

He didn't have time to scold, so he hurriedly found his horse and fled in a hurry.

But his horse... was not running fast...

After all, this is not a war horse. I don’t ride it much on weekdays, it’s just an empty airplane.

In addition, Ning Liang's riding skills were very limited. In desperation, he kicked the horse in the belly and sprinted. As a result, the horse was in pain. The man stood up and threw him off the horse in an instant.

Ning Liang cried...

The other party immediately stepped forward and surrounded him.

Ning Liang closed his eyes and thought to himself, it's over, it's going to be cold tonight...

However, the other party did not fight against him, but instead one of them walked forward and bowed.

"I don't know what you call Shi Heng, the last general?"

Ning Liang slowly opened his eyes. Under the night, a tall and strong man stood in front of him, but he couldn't see clearly.

"You said...who are you?"

"General Puffing the Japanese, Shi Heng!"

Ning Liang asked in confusion: "What... General of the Japanese?

Shi Heng said impatiently: "This is the destiny, so don't worry, who are you?"

Ning Liang said: "I am the magistrate of Jiangning. I heard that a small group of Japanese pirates were invading, so I came... to come..."

Shi Heng understood and nodded, "We are ordered to enter Nanjing City and capture the White Lotus Rebels!"

"Imperial Order?"

Shi Heng took out the imperial edict from his body, Ning Liang took it, ordered someone to light the torch, and went up to take a closer look.

It's indeed an imperial edict!

In this way, these people are really not Japanese pirates?

But, look at their dress...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like the army of the court?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Shi Heng explained: "We have been undercover in the Japanese pirate camp for half a year, so we are dressed up."

"oops!"

Ning Liang seemed to think of something and slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Before this county came out, I had sent someone to ask Xiaolingwei for help, I'm afraid... I'm already on the way!"

Shi Heng looked solemn. He had an imperial decree, but he was not worried about causing conflicts. He was afraid that things would leak out and the thieves in Nanjing City learned about it. He might change his strategy and would be passive at that time.

"The situation is urgent, I don't have time to explain, so I'll say goodbye!"

Shi Heng immediately brought people and continued to move forward.

Sure enough, just as I walked out, I met the oncoming Xiaolingwei.

The commander Mei Yongzhen, who was founded by the founding hero Mei Sizu of Runan, received Ning Liang's message, and had no time to ask for a report, so he immediately came to intercept him.

The Xiaoling Guards are different from other garrisons. They are stationed in Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb. If they are disturbed by thieves, who can afford this crime?

What's more, the Xiaoling Guard's mission is not just to guard the tomb.

When Zhu Yuanzhang chose his tomb, he wanted to follow Emperor Gaozu of Han. When building the tomb, he specially chose the place that is most easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, he set up a military town. On the surface, it was to protect the tomb, but in fact it was to protect the Nanjing city, and to add a barrier for his descendants.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the terrain of this place is a one-man who can pass by ten thousand men. After this, it is Nanjing City.

Mei Yongzhen had just walked out not far away when she saw the 300-man troops coming towards her.

He immediately ordered to prepare for the battle, but the other party stopped and then walked out of the team alone.

Seeing that the other party was alone, Mei Yongzhen ordered him to come forward and reply.

Shi Heng stepped forward and said, "Do you dare to ask if it's Xiaoling Guard in front?"

"I am Mei Yongzhen, the commander of Xiaoling Guard, who are you?"

"General Puffing the Japanese, Shi Heng!"

Mei Yongzhen frowned and asked, "Where did the general Pingwu come from? Why haven't my family heard of it?"

Shi Heng didn't answer, and took out the imperial edict on his body. It was immediately taken over and handed it to Mei Yongzhen.

After seeing it, Mei Yongzhen was shocked and asked, "The Emperor is in Nanjing?"

"Yes, the emperor has been here for almost a month!"

"Why...I don't know?"
