At the city of Jiujiang, Zuo Liangyu and his subordinates were standing on a built high platform and looking into the city. Everyone's faces were a little gloomy.

After the oath of the tenth day of the August 10th, Zuo Liangyu led the army to attack Jiujiang City in just eight days. The emperor had just taken the Yulin Guard from Nanjing and went upstream for three days. However, under Jiujiang City, the left army, which was advancing along the way, finally encountered obstacles. The left army had been attacking both water and land under the city for eight days, and Jiujiang City was still unmoved in the hands of the officers and soldiers.

After these days' attacks, Zuo Liangyu's army lost at least 20,000 people under Jiujiang City. Although the loss was not great compared to his hundreds of thousands of troops, it reduced a lot of spirit. Both officers and soldiers were in a low morale.

Since ancient times, those who can succeed in rebellion often rely on speed and speed. If they are unexpected, they are most afraid of falling into a stalemate. Once they are stalemate, the soldiers on the rebel side will think randomly and the morale of the army will be greatly reduced. The court has time to mobilize more power. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for the rebel side.

On the city wall, there were densely packed soldiers of the Left Army attacking the city. Behind were teams of soldiers ready to replenish at any time. Arrows on the city were raining like rain. From time to time, the Left Army fell down screaming and was submerged by the soldiers behind.

"Master, you have attacked, you have attacked." Zuo Menggeng, who was beside him, shouted excitedly.

Zuo Liangyu looked at the city wall. Sure enough, a group of soldiers on the left had climbed up to the city wall and were fighting with the official army at the city. The officers and soldiers on the city could not resist the enemy and retreated step by step. More and more left troops were rushing towards the city through this gap, and hundreds of people had climbed up in just a short time.

"Okay." Zuo Liangyu's gloomy face finally became excited: "Send the order to break through Jiujiang, and the entire army will be in full swing."

"The general has an order to break through Jiujiang and search for a day."

The so-called big rope naturally allows morale people to rob at will after entering the city. When they heard this order, the left soldiers who were sieging the city were shocked and screamed. They became rebellious. Naturally, they had no loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and everything was for women's wealth.

The Zuo Army, who had already attacked the city, had even red eyes, and she wanted to immediately repel the annoying officers and soldiers in front of her and rob them into the city. Jiujiang is located on a major water and land road, and is also a land of fish and rice. It has always been prosperous. If you can enter the city first, there will naturally be many benefits.

"Scatter." Hearing this sound, the officers and soldiers who were retreating step by step on the city were as if they were amnesty and quickly flashed to the left and right. A piece of open space suddenly appeared on the city. The left army was overjoyed. The official army gave up resistance and was about to rush forward. The scene that came into view made them pause in front of them. There were neatly arranged officers and soldiers less than twenty steps ahead. These officers and soldiers were holding muskets, and the fuse on the gun had been lit, making a squeaking sound.

Seeing the dark musket pointing at him, the left army in front was so scared that they were filled with souls and tried desperately to retreat, but the soldiers behind were not sure about the situation and were still squeezing forward.

"shooting!"

"Bang, bang, bang." After the first round of gunfire, the left army line in front suddenly became terrible, like a piece of gnawed cake, and many soldiers' bodies were beaten into sieves by iron balls, and blood was flowing.

This round of gunfire made the Zuo Jun who was about to enter the city and rob the big robbery. Zuo Jun, who had been trying to squeeze forward, stopped, but someone immediately shouted: "Brothers, their muskets have been let go, don't be afraid, rush."

As soon as the word rushes out, another bang, bang, bang, and the second round of shooting of the government army began. The queue that had just gathered in front of the left army was sunk again.

In the third and fourth rounds, the officials' muskets were shot continuously. The officials in front handed the muskets backwards, took another gun with ammunition, and started aiming again. After the fourth round of shooting, most of the left army, who had climbed up the city wall, had fallen in a pool of blood. The remaining people no longer had the fighting spirit and retreated desperately. When they stomped their mouths, they immediately climbed down the stairs. Some people could not find the stairs. In desperation, they jumped directly from the city. At this time, there were piles of corpses under the city. As long as they fell on the corpse, they could save their lives. No one wanted to stay at the city and be shot into a sieve by the government's muskets.

When Zuo Liangyu saw that the soldiers had already attacked the city, he was chatting and laughing at the left and right. When he saw his subordinates who had already rushed up fell down like dumplings, a piece of gunpowder filled the city. He shouted, "Murder." A mouthful of blood surged and fell backwards.

Fortunately, Zuo Menggeng was quick and quick, so he reached out to support Zuo Liangyu, otherwise Zuo Liangyu would have to fall to the ground.

"Master, Master." The other generals hurriedly surrounded Zuo Liangyu and shouted loudly.

The smoke from the city wall dissipated, the sound of muskets rang out like firecrackers, and the Zuojun, who were climbing up the ladder, fell down one after another. The sound of "clang, clang, clang." The golden sound of "clang, clang." was heard, and the Zuojun retreated like a tide, and thousands of corpses were left on the city and under the city.

In the tent, Zuo Liangyu had a pale face. A doctor closed his eyes slightly, shook his head from time to time, and used two fingers to lay Zuo Liangyu's pulse, taking Zuo Liangyu's pulse.

After a long time, the doctor general put down his hand when he took his pulse. Zuo Menggeng hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my father and leader's illness? Is it serious?"

"When I go back to the little marquis, the coach is strong, but there are many old injuries on his body. This time, he is angry and affects the old injuries. This disease..." The doctor shook his head, his face hesitant.

"What's going on with this disease? You said," Zuo Menggeng urged.

"Reply to the little marquis, the Dashen is not difficult, it is not difficult, it is difficult. The key is to calm down and not have too much emotional fluctuations. If it is prone to violent and irritable, it will make things worse. This time, the villain prescribes a prescription and just take the medicine according to the prescription. After taking a few doses of the medicine, the Dashen will be fine. But if it is repeated, it will not be so easy."

When he heard that it was okay, Zuo Menggeng and all the generals who came to visit the disease relaxed their expressions. If Zuo Shuai had a few shortcomings, the army would soon disband.

"Go down and prescribe the prescription and get the reward."

"Thank you, the little marquis."

After the doctor went down, Zuo Menggeng was worried again. If he wanted to not be too fluctuating in his father's mood, he could only take Jiujiang as soon as possible, but Jiujiang was not that easy to get. In the past seven or eight days, Jiujiang had been using cold weapons to deal with it except for twenty defensive cannons. Now he was about to break through, a large number of muskets suddenly appeared on the top of the city. Judging from the sound, there were at least thousands of muskets, and these thousands of muskets alone were hard to deal with. Who knows if Jiujiang would have any backup plans?
