. "Your Highness, since you have the intention of not only preventing Yiliang from fleeing south, but also taking the opportunity to go south to take Hangzhou first, then Chen Yucheng's troops should not be placed west of Suzhou. You should take a boat along Taihu Lake and send surprise troops to intercept Yiliang who might have come out halfway, or attempt to reinforce the Qing army in Suzhou." Huang Zaixing thought carefully and looked at King An and said.

"Lin Fengxiang is an experienced person and is good at fighting sports wars. I guess he will not put Chen Yucheng there to concentrate on waiting for Yiliang to leave the city." Lin Hai smiled with confidence.

"Yes, although the Northern Expedition was over halfway, Lin Hou crossed northern Anhui, crossed the Yellow River, and made the Qing army go around, which shows Lin Hou's strategy." Huang Zaixing nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and asked again, "Your Highness, if you attack Hangzhou first, if you hold a stalemate for a while, it is very likely that our Tianjun will fight on the two fronts of Hangzhou and Shanghai. Once the foreigners in Shanghai intervene, the power of Zeng Shuiyuan's ministry will be much weaker."

"You think it makes sense." Lin Haifeng looked in the direction of Shanghai. "At present, all the Qing dynasties' orders on Jiangnan have been very unobstructed. The Qing army in various places has reached a critical moment of fighting on their own. There will be no closer cooperation or coordination between them. Suzhou will have to defend. Since this is the case, it is better to attack with force. Attack is the best defense. Although Hangzhou is strong, there is no decent foreign aid. As long as Hangzhou is just a little bit, Zhejiang will also become leaderless, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang will belong to the heavenly dynasty. Therefore, I consider Lin Fengxiang commanding the Red Army and the Qin army besieging Hangzhou. After the war is over, the teaching brigade will immediately capture Qingpu, cooperate with Zeng Shuiyuan's troops, and cooperate with Liu Lichuan's Shanghai defenders to break the southern camp of the Qing army in the Longhua area. In this way, the remaining Qing army's northern camp will be isolated in a corner of Shanghai."

"It's a pity that our warships are not as powerful as foreigners, otherwise..." Huang Zaixing seemed a little regretful.

"Yes, in order for the Celestial Empire to establish the Forest of the World, we not only need a powerful army, but also a powerful navy." Lin Haifeng looked at Huang Zaixing heroically and raised his hand high, "The entire land of China belongs to us. Wherever we want to go, no force can stop our pace!"

"Let's go?" In a small house near Xumen, Hao Lisu, who was a little unconscious, looked at Yiliang as if he didn't know him, "Where are you going?"

"If you fight like this, you can only sit and wait for death." Yiliang had a fever on his face, and he didn't even care about the change in his expression on his face. "In order to preserve some strength to deal with Changmao, you must first withdraw from Suzhou, go to Hangzhou, meet the people there, and then seek good strategies."

"Sir, it sounds light, what should I do if there are millions of taels of silver in the vassal kusan?" Hao Lisu swallowed hard and asked with concern.

"On the way here, I have sent someone to inform He Guiqing and asked him to find a way to get the shipping amount." Yiliang wiped the sweat that was still on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and suddenly a fierce light burst out of his eyes. "How many hours can the guards of each gate last? Lord Hao quickly burned all the more than 100 important targets in the city according to the previous arrangement, especially the granary, which cannot be left behind. I will fight the front team first and welcome you and Lord He outside the city."

Seeing Hao Lisu nodding in agreement, Yiliang turned around and left the door. Time was tight, and even if he was delayed for a moment in the city, there would be an indescribable danger. Yiliang left in a hurry and didn't even look at the men gathered in the yard, those who seemed to be waiting for Hao Lisu.

As Yiliang left the door, the young man walked out of the inner room, he looked at Hao Lisu in confusion and pointed at the door, "Mr. Hao, let him go with such a good opportunity?"

Hao Lisu stood up, looked at Gu Xuejiang who had just been hiding in the inner room, and shook his head gently, "I really can't bear to start with a colleague."

"But he was very willing to turn Suzhou into scorched earth!" Gu Xuejiang said hatefully, then stared at Hao Lisu again, "Mr. Hao, haven't you figured it out in the end?"

Hao Lisu looked at Gu Xuejiang, suddenly sat down again, lowered his head. Did he really merge with those "bandits"?

Gu Xuejiang seemed to see through his psychology and smiled regretfully, "Mr. Hao, tell you the truth, I didn't want to ask my nephew to come and contact you again. However, my nephew thought about your years of friendship with my father, and he didn't want to see the adults become the wronged souls of others. Time doesn't wait for anyone, and in less than an hour or two, Suzhou will be broken, and everything will be too late. The Fanku is the one you are responsible for keeping. If He Guiqing makes any trouble there, you will not be able to get rid of it.

Yes, even my nephew already knows that you have placed gunpowder in many places in the city. How can others not know? Who dares to lit this fire? First give up the purpose of the warring parties. Just consider the interests of the people in Suzhou, the adults should have a clear idea. Since the nephew is here, he is not afraid of death. If he dies, his nephew will die. If he thinks it is necessary, he can completely correct the Dharma, and then you and your men will survive and die with Suzhou. As long as the adults are not afraid of being criticized for thousands of years."

Alas! Hao Lisu looked up at Gu Xuejiang who was righteous and sighed. Why did you come from studying? To govern the country and make the country peaceful and peaceful. Since he does not have the ability to make the country as stable as Mount Tai, what can he do if he doesn’t do this if he doesn’t think of this? Thinking of this, Hao Lisu finally stood up slowly.

"Come!"

"Here! What are the instructions of the sir?" The soldiers from the vassal state yamen outside the door came in response.

Hao Lisu turned his face and looked at Gu Xuejiang for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Nephew, I'll leave you with the soldiers in the yard and the Xumen."

"Xikun, I have placed all my hope on you. I must open the gate to me anyway!" Seeing that the artillery fire was almost over, Qin Rigang patted Zhu Xikun, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, please wait here. Let's see me rushing to flatten this small Suzhou city." Zhu Xikun pulled out his big knife, rushed out.

Qin Rigang was eager to seize the merits. In order to compete for the first time to occupy Suzhou, he placed his troops in Changmen and Kinmen, and launched an attack on Suzhou at the same time. However, he placed the Red Army Guard Brigade, which was assigned to him, outside Xumen. On the one hand, he was responsible for monitoring the Qing army and preventing the Qing army from retreating south. Under the trend, he also avoided competing with his subordinates.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Tianjun approached the moat and began to build a floating bridge. The river water in December was cold, but the Tianjun soldiers who built the floating bridge seemed to have forgotten all this. They had only one wish, which was to lay the bridge as soon as possible, so that their companions could cross the river and rush to the top of the city.

As soon as the bridge was steadily built, Zhu Xikun commanded a large number of troops to cross the river, and the ladders stuck to the city wall.

As soon as the fierce artillery fire of the Heavenly Army stopped, the Qing soldiers hidden everywhere came alive again. In order to defend Suzhou, Yiliang did make careful preparations. All the city gates prepared in advance all kinds of anti-climbing equipment. Fire bottles, grey stones, etc. were almost all. In the moment, grey stones flew up, and the fire bottles were thrown down like raindrops, and four or five cloud ladders were swallowed by the flames.
