On the third day of September, the autumn wind was bleak and the weather began to turn cooler.
Outside the gate of Nanjing, a large army lined up in order.
The soldiers of this army were neatly dressed, with their heads wrapped in bright red scarves, forming a sea of red. Moreover, the soldiers in the army were holding bright steel knives and stood solemnly without making any sound. At a glance, Like a whole, they are indistinguishable from each other. They are not living soldiers. At the same time, every soldier in the army has his own pride on his face. Their eyes are firm and their expressions are serious, which makes people feel a little afraid.
This army is the direct lineage of the Yi Wang Shi Dakai.
Compared with Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xiuquan, Qin Rigang and others, the number of Shi Dakai's soldiers was only 20,000, which was not too many. However, the combat effectiveness of Shi Dakai's soldiers was definitely the number one.
At this time, Shi Da stood in front of the army with his helmet on and his horse on his head.
He was wearing a bright red cloak. When the wind blew, the red cloak fluttered and rustled in the wind. Shi Dakai held the horse's rein with his right hand and held the sword hilt with his left hand, holding his head slightly high. He was riding on the horse mountain. He remained motionless, just staring at the soldiers in the army. He just sat like this, but he seemed to have infinite momentum, which made the soldiers in the army work hard and not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Qiang."
Shi Dakai suddenly drew his sword, pointed his sword at the sky, and shouted: "We will win."
"Must win."
"Must win."
…
Twenty thousand people shouted at the same time, their voices loud and clear.
The long sword in Shi Dakai's hand swayed twice in the air, like a command flag waving. In an instant, all the soldiers in the army fell silent, leaving only the echoing sound. A moment later, Shi Dakai roared again: " If I am invincible, Li Zhen will die."
"If I am invincible, Li Zhen will die."
"If I am invincible, Li Zhen will die."
…
Shi Dakai encouraged the soldiers with simple words, and these soldiers lived up to their expectations.
Outside Nanjing, neat and loud voices echoed in the air.
That strong voice, with the momentum of indomitable and invincible energy, kept spreading everywhere. Such a powerful voice sounded in the city, and countless people heard it, and strong confidence suddenly rose in their hearts. The reason is very Simple, because Shi Dakai, the invincible wing king, went to fight, and they believed that Shi Dakai would definitely win the battle.
King Yi will not let them down.
Shi Dakai looked back at Nanjing and nodded heavily, as if he had heard the voices of the people.
His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and his heart was boiling with blood. He was already looking forward to the battle with Li Zhen. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Shi Dakai thought that he was the best fighter in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and now he suddenly appeared There was a man who was the best at fighting in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he was not willing to be suppressed and wanted to compete with Li Zhen.
The meaning of Wing King is 'winged heaven', which protects the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Now, Li Zhen was born out of the blue, and he and Shi Dakai belong to different camps, and a real battle with real swords and guns is needed to distinguish them.
Shi Dakai took a deep breath, pointed his sword to the sky, and almost roared: "Let's go and kill the Jiangbei camp." After saying that, the 20,000 troops turned around and surged forward like a tide. Shi Dakai looked back at Nanjing City again. , took a group of followers and started to move forward. Just as Shi Dakai led his army to set off, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves at the city gate.
"King Yi, wait a minute."
Yang Xiuqing and Xu Yuan quickly rushed out with a team of people.
When Shi Dakai heard this, he immediately reined in his horse and stopped. He turned around and looked at Yang Xiuqing and others, waiting for Yang Xiuqing and his party to arrive. After a while, Yang Xiuqing rushed over, clasped his fists and said: "King Yi, this time I go on an expedition, my brother will give it to you. Farewell, Li Zhen is a cunning person, I hope King Yi will be more careful, and my brother hereby wishes King Yi to defeat Li Zhen as soon as possible and lead his army back in triumph. At that time, King Tian and I will take care of King Yi."
Shi Dakai cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Wang."
"Come here, bring some wine." Yang Xiuqing shouted.
A soldier came over carrying a plate with a pot of wine and two filled wine bottles. Yang Xiuqing picked up a wine bottle and handed it to Shi Dakai and said, "If there are more, I won't tell you, please." After finishing, Yang Xiuqing raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
Shi Dakai nodded, picked up the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp.
Xu Yuan continued: "King Yi, the King of Heaven asked Beizhi to send a message, hoping that King Yi will come back with Li Zhen's head soon. Here, Beizhi also wishes King Yi an early victory."
"Thank you very much. Please tell the King of Heaven that Shi Dakai will definitely fulfill his mission."
After Shi Dakai finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and rode away.
Xu Yuan glanced at Yang Xiuqing meaningfully, with an intriguing smile on his lips, clasped his fists and said: "Dong Wang, I still have tasks to do in my humble position, and I have to go back to Dong Wang, so I take my leave."
Yang Xiuqing nodded, turned around and entered the city, heading towards the East Prince's Mansion.
After Shi Dakai left, the city of Nanjing returned to a situation where all kings coexisted. However, under such a calm surface, there was already an undercurrent surging, and there was a sign of a storm coming.
…
Jiangbei camp, the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, Li Zhen was holding his chin with his left hand and was in a daze.
"call."
The tent door curtain was rolled up, and Long Ao walked in quickly.
Li Zhen recovered immediately and asked: "Brother Long, is there any news?"
Long Ao nodded and said: "Commander, there is something happening in Nanjing."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shi Da is here."
Long Ao said seriously: "Commander is wise, two days ago, Shi Dakai led 20,000 elites to leave Nanjing and ran towards our Jiangbei camp. Commander, Shi Dakai returned to Nanjing around mid-August, but when he returned After Nanjing, it took nearly half a month to lead the army to the expedition. Judging from his humble position, Shi Dakai collected all kinds of information about the commander in chief and made plans before taking action. This person should not be underestimated. "
Li Zhen said: "I never underestimated him. Shi Dakai is a tiger general. You have to be careful. Think about it. Zeng Guofan attacked Nanjing with overwhelming force, but was defeated by Shi Dakai. This is not something ordinary people can do. This time Shi Dakai is here, let’s have a good fight.”
Long Ao said curiously: "Commander, who is Zeng Guofan that you should treat with such caution?"
Li Zhen said: "This man is great as a person, as an official, and as a good person." After a pause, Li Zhen changed the subject and shouted: "Here comes someone."
Ye Chengzhong walked in quickly, bowed his hands and said, "Commander, what are your orders?"
Li Zhen said: "Shi Dakai leads an army of 20,000 to attack the Jiangbei camp. You should immediately summon Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou and other generals in the army to discuss countermeasures."
"yes."
Ye Chengzhong knew that fighting was about to start again, so he did not dare to neglect and went to deliver the news quickly. Soon, Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou, Smith, Lu Shaochuan, Huang Qiang and others all gathered in the big tent and sat down around the conference table.
