The importance of Zhenjiang to Nanjing is self-evident. Like the previous Eastern Jin dynasties, this is where the Northern Prefecture Army stationed.

Every time I make trouble, as long as I start from here, I easily conquered Jiankang, that is, Jinling City.

The city of Nanjing is surrounded by tigers and dragons, and there is danger of the Yangtze River. However, once the Yangtze River is captured, it enters the natural dangerous Zhenjiang, and it will be flat, until the foot of Zhongshan.

Nanjing also knew the importance of Zhenjiang. After being besieged by Liu's army, they quickly organized troops to prepare for reinforcements, but they found that as many as ten Liu's army began to cross the river and began to attack various intersections along the Yangtze River.

Some troops had already appeared near Nanjing. They were very frightened. They issued convening orders to various places, asking for help letters, and demanding that all places quickly send troops to support, but there were very few responders.

Let me ask, the military preparations are so deserted and so poor, how many people in Jiangnan dare to send troops to attack Liu's army.

Moreover, their reinforcements had just left the city and encountered an attack from a small vanguard of Liu's army, so they retreated immediately.

In this way, the reinforcements expected by the Zhenjiang defenders were destined not to come, while the Liu family army rushed in continuously.

Situ Wei, the guerrilla general who was responsible for guarding the city in Zhenjiang, climbed the city tower and saw the ships of the Liu family army coming continuously on the south bank of the Yangtze River. One army was pulled out, and the ships of supplies were unloaded. They formed one huge square formation after another on the plains below the city, with a severe atmosphere and a terrifying momentum.

These were not what he was afraid of. Zhenjiang City was defending the dangerous city and the city wall was quite high, so it could still block the enemy's impact. But the worst part was that with the unloading of the Liu family's cannons, they began to use a large number of men to transport the cannons. Their red-clothed cannons directly bombarded the city wall, causing a huge blow to the defenders.

Jiangnan has been living for a long time and his military equipment has been abandoned for a long time. They have only heard of the red-clothed cannons, but they have never seen them. It is said that they killed the leader of Jiannu Nurhaci, who was the most powerful cannon in the world today. They are even more powerful than the invincible general of Emperor Taizu back then. There are not many gates in the court, but Liu Jun actually has so many, which shocked them inexplicably.

They have city defense, and it will take several days for the other party to forcibly attack the city, but the other party uses cannons, and has no bottom line, and is indiscriminately bombarding the city walls and attacking the city, which has caused them to suffer heavy casualties.

Situ was the only general in the Ming army along the Yangtze River. Although he was just a guerrilla general, his ability was outstanding. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to guard Zhenjiang, an important place. You should know that those who had been with him back then had become generals or generals. Only when he was not good at greeting his superiors, he was sent to such a place. Although he was silent and did not show any signs of the mountain or the water, he held the place at a critical moment, so that Liu Jun could not make any progress.

The one Liu Jun was responsible for attacking the general Mao Shengli. Mao Shengli was originally the commander of Liu Jun, responsible for commanding the powerful crossbowmen of the Liu family army and providing long-range fire support.

However, with the expansion of the Liu family's organization, the requirements for long-range fire support were higher, and artillery was established. Mao Shengli was also the commander of the artillery. On the one hand, he commanded his archer troops to suppress the city, and on the other hand, he ordered the cannons to be removed and attacked the city.

According to the series of battles that Mao Shengli fought, if these two axes were used, the opponent would be able to defeat him, but now the other party is fighting to the death and insisting on defending here. This makes him a little impressed, but even though he admires him, he is very embarrassed and angry. You must know that he has promised Liu Bu that when Liu Bu set foot in Jiangnan, he will arch Zhenjiang City with both hands, let him directly enter the city and lead his troops to attack Nanjing, but Liu Bu has arrived, and the gate of Zhenjiang City has not been opened yet.

Mao Shengli felt very embarrassed, so he ordered the organization of a suicide squad and vowed not to withdraw the troops until Zhenjiang City was defeated.

But his suicide squad had just been organized and had not been sent out yet because Liu Bu ordered him to retreat.

After Liu Bu arrived, he did not order the army to launch a strong attack again, but instead sent an envoy to persuade the other party to surrender.

The one who went to persuade the surrender was Qian Qianyi, a Qingliu scholar.

It is said that Situ Weiyi's son is a student of Qian Qianyi, and both parties know each other. Qian Qianyi didn't want to go there. What kind of identity he is, how noble he is. As the saying goes, he is a son of a daughter and cannot sit in the hall. He asked him to take risks. If the other party turns against him, he will be finished. However, he was the security bureau chief next to Liu Bu. Zhou Hui pointed out his relationship with Situ Weiyi, and made suggestions to persuade him to surrender. He had to go, so he had to come with a tough bullet.

Situ's only standing on the city wall, looking at the opponent's huge military formation and the cannons that kept moving over, he was really numb for it. The enemy's reinforcements rushed over continuously, but the court's reinforcements were unknown where they were. Seeing such a huge momentum, the Nanjing army was mostly afraid of the opponent's power and did not dare to come.

Seeing that the opponent was organizing a suicide squad, he was also very nervous and immediately ordered the soldiers to have a full meal and be ready to face the opponent's attack at any time. Who knew that the opponent's suicide squad was about to launch a charge when he was about to launch a charge, and the opponent's cannon also stopped bombarding.

At this time, a way was made in Liu's huge army. Under the escort of ten soldiers, a white-clothed scholar, sitting on a donkey, walked over slowly.

The only person Situ saw the other party's banner of envoys was on his body, and he did not dare to take action, and ordered the soldiers who picked up the bow and arrow not to act rashly.

The only thing Situ knew was that Liu Jun now has an absolute advantage. They sent envoys to persuade them to surrender. Even if they did not want to surrender, they could still achieve the goal of delaying the other party. As long as they could hold the other party, whether it was a war or a delay, the same effect would be the same. In the end, they would achieve the goal of delaying the other party. As long as they waited for reinforcements from Nanjing to come, they would be considered successful.

The other party was willing to negotiate, which was the best thing, but when Situ Yiu looked at it, he found that the other party was Qian Qianyi, a famous celebrity from the south, he was shocked.

Qian Qianyi is one of the best celebrities in Jiangnan and one of the best celebrities in Nanjing. He is a member of the country and the pride of the locals. It is said that he visited Wu Zongda in Yangzhou, and many people believe that he should have died in the war.

With Qian Qianyi's character, he will definitely not surrender to the other party. He will definitely scold the other party for his behavior, then anger the other party and be killed by the other party.

Almost all people in the south believe that Qian Qianyi is dead. With his integrity and evil spirit, he will definitely die and repay the Ming Dynasty court. Only in this way can he be able to cooperate with his identity as a role model of civil officials and leader of Qingliu. Who knew that he could live well and become Liu Jun's envoy to surrender.

Not only Situ recognized Qian Qianyi, but even his subordinates recognized him. They were shocked and shocked. Even people like Qian Qianyi actually defected to Liu Jun. Who else in the world can not join Liu Jun?

Qian Qianyi's appearance gave Situ the only huge shock and blow. He had always wanted to serve the court and serve his family and country with one death. This was what a loyal martyr had to do, but seeing that Qian Qianyi, who he regarded as his idol, actually became Liu Jun's man, this caused a huge blow to him.

Qian Qianyi held his envoy flag and sought a visit under the city. The defenders did not dare to open the city gate and let him in. However, they also knew the other party's identity, so they put down the hanging basket and pulled the other party up.

Situ Yi was very impressed by Qian Qianyi's morality, so he asked his son to take him as his teacher. Even if his son only regarded Qian Qianyi as his teacher, Situ Yi always regarded Qian Qianyi as his teacher and respected him as a teacher. Who knew that the person he respected so much that he actually surrendered to the enemy, which made him feel that all his beliefs and persistence were collapsed.

Situ Yi sighed and said, "Why is Qian Gong like this? Why is this?"

Qian Qianyi's face turned red, and he knew that as his Qingliu leader, he must have been in the hope of the world. The loyal ministers in the world would definitely hope that he would commit suicide to sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty, but he could not have such courage to commit suicide and die for the country. Seeing the other party's disappointed look, he couldn't help but feel shy.

He actually didn't want to come, but he didn't want to leave a useless impression in Liu Bu's heart. He could see that the Liu family army would respect you as long as you have the ability, and those who are not capable will be abandoned by it.

It is estimated that Liu Jun also took a fancy to his reputation, but his reputation cannot be used as a means of food. If he cannot serve them, he will definitely be disliked by them. In this new force group, there will be no place to establish himself. Of course, on the other hand, it is also due to Zhou Hui's fear.

Zhou Hui is a gloomy all day long, as if someone owes him money. Zhou Hui is a famous ruthless person. Qian Qianyi personally saw him holding a hammer and killing a person. As for why he wanted to kill this person alive, Qian Qianyi didn't know and dared not ask, but he would definitely not want to be such a person, nor would he become Zhou Hui's enemy.

Qian Qianyi knew that Zhou Hui was the leader of Liu Bu’s Dongchang Jinyiwei, a ruthless, despicable and shameless loyal dog. If he could not satisfy him, he would definitely be harmed by him.
