Chapter 136 Just around the corner

The Luo Sect is not the later Cao Gang, and it has only been half a century since the end of the Ming Dynasty. The old men of the Luo Sect did not lick the Qing Dynasty like the later Cao Gang. The people who were concerned about the previous dynasty were still there, but they had no choice but to walk between the rivers and the government for survival. This was also the fact that Boss Pan had promised Zhu Yicheng to use the power of the Luo Sect to help the rebel army run from Tonglu God to eastern Zhejiang without knowing it, and finally take Ningbo.

Since Zhu Yicheng occupied Ningbo, his private appeal to the Luo Cult has not stopped. Whether before or after the establishment of the Sihai Commercial Bank, any transportation transactions must be handed over to the Luo Cult. At the same time, he increased the business deals between the Luo Cult through the Ningbo Commercial Bank. Boss Pan also made a lot of work and took money to do things properly. As the power of Ningbo became stronger, Boss Pan gradually became closer to the Ningbo rebel army.

This time, the Luo Cult has made a lot of efforts in this sneak attack on Su Song. In addition, the Luo Cult is spread across the south of the Yangtze River and has a well-informed channel. In addition to the intelligence network controlled by Zhu Yicheng, the Luo Cult also provided a lot of information, which is also the main reason why Zhu Yicheng was able to grasp the dynamics of the Qing army in a timely manner.

Ouyang Kai fled back to Tongli in a panic, but Tongli could not hold on to the point of being under Ningbo artillery fire. Moreover, because of the narrow terrain of Tongli, the troops could not assemble. Ouyang Kai had no choice but to lead his subordinates to break out to the west of Tongli, but who would have thought that when he had just rushed out of Tongli from the west, another rebel army appeared in front of him.

This time, the rebel army fought the big flag of Dong. The rebel army that was restraining the main road from west to south was nothing else, but was directing the rebel army to besiege Dong Dashan in Suzhou. It turned out that Zhu Yicheng had already sent people to contact Dong Dashan. When the main force of Susong Town in Ouyang Kai came to Tongli, Dong Dashan had quietly led the elite troops to escape from the camp outside Suzhou City and waited thirty miles north of Tongli.

The sound of cannons in the same world sounded, and Dong Dashan, who was ready, decisively sent troops according to the plan, thus blocking Ouyang Kai's way out here. At this time, Ouyang Kai was in a state of no way. Although the main force in his hands was not damaged, the establishment was already broken. The entire team escaped from Tongli and was several miles long. Some of the officers and soldiers who ran in a hurry even lost their weapons and armor, and they hated their parents for less than two legs.

When he saw Ouyang Kai's troops appear and seeing how they were running away in such a mess, Dong Dashan was overjoyed and immediately issued an order to attack. For a moment, there were pursuers behind him and surrounded him in front. On both sides of the road, there were either mountains or lakes. At the highest point, there were rebels ambushed. The morale of the Susong Town officers and soldiers fell sharply, and the courage to connect to the battle did not collapse instantly. Some people were rushing around like headless flies, some tried to climb mountains and cross ridges, and some even jumped into the lake desperately and tried to swim and escape...

Seeing this, Ouyang Kai was sad. He never expected that his Susong Town would be defeated in such a confusing way. Seeing that there was no way out, Ouyang Kai angrily pulled his sword and shouted: "Brothers! Fight with the thieves!" He led hundreds of his personal troops to fight back and killed him. Unfortunately, Ouyang Kai's final counterattack was like a small stone smashing into the pond. After only a splash, it quickly calmed down.

By the time Zhu Yicheng's troops and Dong Dashan's main force converged, the entire Susong Town had been destroyed. General Ouyang Kai was killed in battle, deputy general Feng Hui died in battle, general Chen Jian died in battle, guerrilla Luo Wancang died in battle... Nearly half of the remaining officers and soldiers died in battle, except for only lucky enough to cross the mountains and escape a hundred people, Susong Town, which is known as the main force of the three towns in Jiangsu, no longer exists.

"Grandmaster, this battle is really refreshing!" Seeing Zhu Yicheng, Dong Dashan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"You are so happy that Kang Mazi has to cry in Beijing, hahaha! By the way, how are the injuries, brothers?" Zhu Yicheng joked with a smile, and then he cared about the losses without asking for the results. When he learned that the injury was extremely serious, he completely relieved.

"How is the situation in Suzhou?" Zhu Yicheng asked again.

"Don't worry, the Grand Governor, Suzhou City is still surrounded. When I left, I specially left three thousand people there. Zhang Boxing, the old man, has been scared by me these days. He hid in the city with the black ghost and did not dare to come out. Now he is afraid to chant Amitabha in the house." Dong Dashan replied happily.

Nodded slightly, Dong Dashan's answer did not surprise Zhu Yicheng. It was precisely because of this that he dared to make up the plan to siege the city and attack aid. Now he has destroyed Susong Town, which has come from afar, and coupled with the previous victory in Sangjiazhuang, the Qing army's troops in Jiangsu have been reduced by nearly half, and it will no longer pose a great threat to the Ningbo rebel army.

"Grandmaster!" At this time, a man rushed over and saw this person. Zhu Yicheng quickly walked forward a few steps. The person who came was neither the other person nor the boss Pan of the Luo Sect.

"Boss Pan... Oh, now it should be General Pan, you are here!" Zhu Yicheng smiled happily, and Boss Pan quickly saluted, his face full of unconcealed smiles.

This time, the leader of the Luo Sect, Boss Pan, also rose to prominence. In Zhu Yicheng's words, he no longer regarded him as a member of the Luo Sect, but called him General Pan, which made Boss Pan even more happy.

The Luo Cult has a huge influence in Jiangnan and has a good foundation for the people. More importantly, the Luo Cult is not as good as other sects. You should know that the predecessor of the Luo Cult was a military household in the Ming Dynasty and was well organized. This is also the main reason why the Cao Gang stood out in the later period.

"I thank the Grand Governor!" Boss Pan clasped his fists and then said: "A brother has come to report that Jiangnan Admiral Shi Yide has gathered troops in Changzhou, and it is estimated that there will be more than 10,000 people."

"Haha, this Shi Yide is not giving up and attempts to attack the north and south to make another center blossom? Unfortunately, his plan has not been well made. Ouyang Kai's Susong Town is now destroyed. Shi Yide has to return with hatred this time." Zhu Yicheng was in a good mood, and Dong Dashan on the side laughed at the same time, saying that this time he had to stay the admiral of Shi. Last time, he was so sad that he could not invite him to eat the knife board.

As soon as these words were said, even Boss Pan, Liao Huanzhi and others burst into laughter. In everyone's eyes, Shi Yide was getting worse and worse. Now that Jiangsu's troops are increasing and weaker, it's okay if Shi Yide doesn't come, but Tathagata must be looking for a dead end.

"There is another thing..." After a smile, Boss Pan said with a serious expression: "Governor, you asked Bei Yi to pay attention to the situation in Hangzhou before, and now you have news."

"What do you say?" Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng immediately restrained his smile and asked.

"It is said that Zhejiang Governor Nian Gengyao is also gathering troops. It seems that he wants to send troops. I don't know whether to attack Ningbo or Su Song for the time being. Please pay more attention to the Grand Governor."

Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but frown. Since Nian Gengyao came to Zhejiang, he has been paying close attention to this person. Therefore, both Liao Huanzhi and Dong Dashan were a little strange. They felt that Zhu Yicheng's attention to Nian Gengyao was a bit too much. You should know that the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang was Yin Huaxing, while Nian Gengyao was just the governor of Zhejiang, so why did he attach so much importance to this person?

But they didn't know that in Zhu Yicheng's heart, Nian Gengyao's threat was much greater than that in Yin Huaxing. This famous general, Nian, was the most famous general in the mid-Qing Dynasty. How could Zhu Yicheng not pay attention?
