Chapter 653

Nanjing is so big that it can be called one of the largest cities in the world. It extends for dozens of kilometers and crosses several canals and mountains.

In the era of no air force, it was very difficult to reconnoiter and blockade him. It took Liu Jiajun three days to blockade him and initially form the first blockade line.

Moreover, tens of thousands of his troops wanted to encircle this huge and great city, and their troops were also insufficient. However, soon, Liu Zhongyong's army arrived again. After the capture of Anqing, they all marched eastward along the river and arrived at the west gate of Nanjing. They joined Liu Bu's army. The two armies joined up, with up to 150000 troops. It was really like a forest of knives and guns, With banners blocking the sun, the camp is continuous and across the road. The momentum is magnificent and amazing.

When they set out in Shandong, they were just 70000 troops, sweeping all the way, but the number was as many as 100000, and even rising. This is because they attacked cities and land all the way, invincible. Many people saw the benefits of the Liu family, and came to surrender and surrender, which greatly increased their strength.

After they surrounded Nanjing City, this situation was common. Every day, a large number of forces surrendered to them one after another. This kind of hero came in admiration, and the hero worshipped him. King Liu Bu was so domineering that he wanted to write a poem to cheer him up. However, he had no goods in his stomach, so he had to give up.

He immediately went to the top of Zijin Mountain, looked at the surging river and said loudly, "the green mountains are still there. The sunset is red several times. If we win Nanjing, the world will be ours! Liu Jiajun! Wansheng!"

Liu Bu screamed like a psycho. The generals around him were also boiling with blood and shouted in unison: "Wansheng! Wansheng!"

Then hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers shouted, and the sound spread ten miles, which was extremely shocking.

Liu Kang took the lead in singing: "the wolf smoke rises...!" the generals were boiling with blood and echoed in unison, which became a scene of 10000 people singing a chorus.

As the officers and soldiers surrendered to them in an organic way, they had enough strength to encircle and besiege this huge city.

Liu Bu set its headquarters in Zijin Mountain outside Jinchuan gate, which is close to the city and the Yangtze River. He can dispatch troops quickly. He set up a camp here and ordered his troops to prepare for the siege.

Of course, he also wrote a surrender letter to Xu Guogong, the garrison of Nanjing, who was responsible for guarding the city, asking to comply with the tide of destiny and submit to their Liu family, but the other party categorically refused.

The other side flatly refused and actively prepared for defense, which made Liu Bu know that it was difficult to do well. Nanjing, a great city, could not be captured without their blood, so he decided to launch a fierce attack and lay Liu's hegemony with a smooth and dripping victory.

Nanjing is a big city, with a radius of 50 or 60 kilometers and a large number of hills and rivers, which makes their Liu family army's troops widely divided. It is also difficult to connect them. Therefore, Liu Buhe divided his army into four parts and ordered his subordinates to command one part of the army respectively to attack the city gate.

For example, he was in charge of Zhengyang gate, and Liu Zhongyong was in charge of attacking Jubao gate. Other gates were also in charge of making and sending generals. For a time, the clouds of war were thick and murderous.

Ziqing, Liu Buxin's third wife, is responsible for commanding the fleet on the nearby river, blocking the Yangtze River and providing artillery support.

Nanjing city has its special features, that is, it has continuous mountains, and the Qinhuai River passes around the city, so the water transportation is very developed, which also gives Liu Jiajun an opportunity. They loaded their cannons into inland river ships, and then began to attack all parts of the city.

Because the contact between them is not easy, they can only coordinate through fast horses and signals, so they issued orders. After each department is in place, they don't have to wait and start to attack immediately.

It can be said that since the liujiajun blockaded Nanjing on the first day, they have not launched a large-scale attack, but their leading forces have begun shelling the city and began to spread panic.

Nanjing is the core of nanzhili and the well deserved core of Jiangnan today. In the past, Liu Jiajun was only a local strength faction. He was very horizontal and fierce in Shandong, but he was still a local faction after all. Once he occupied Nanjing and controlled Jiangnan, he would be a person who really had the strength to compete with Daming for the world.

Now we have the strength to compete with Daming for the world.

No,

Although the JianNu in Northeast China were very ferocious and powerful. They seized Liao town and pressed Daming to fight. They pressed the nine border towns and hundreds of thousands of border troops, but they attacked the places they controlled, they were still too remote, the places were too poor, and they didn't have enough strength to support them to attack the world.

Although the roving bandits have a huge momentum and claim to have as many as one million people, they are like locusts crossing the border. They are also very powerful, but they are roving bandits after all. They have been chased and pressed by the officials and soldiers. After losing once, they will be seriously injured and difficult to recover. For example, they had as many as one million people before attacking Fengyang Zhongdu, Wherever you go, the world shakes.

However, since the death of Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang, this legion, which is known as millions of people, has also declined rapidly. Especially in the first World War in Ziwu Valley, they lost miserably. Now it is said that they are still running for their lives near Zhongnan mountain.

The chaos of extravagance and security in the Southwest has come to an end. The giant family of thousands of years is not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty. Although at the beginning of the rebellion, they were very powerful and powerful, and took down Chongqing, an important town in Sichuan. Even Chengdu in Sichuan and Guiyang in Guizhou were surrounded by them, almost attacked, and finally he withdrew.

Although they turned these places into a white land, they were eventually defeated by the officials. Now their rebel generals have been killed, and the large cities they control have been lost one by one. The imperial court has also sent a large army to continue to hunt them down. It is estimated that it is a matter of time to destroy them.

Therefore, these three parties have caused great difficulties to Daming, but they did not compete with Daming for the strength of the world, that is, at least in the present, JianNu captured the world in the original version, but here, the current situation of the Liu family is better than JianNu.

Daming was able to subdue and defeat all three major forces because they had the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, which could continuously provide food, grass and military pay to meet the needs of his millions of troops.

He has been defeated and defeated by the army. He has enough money and food in his hands. He can immediately organize a new army to fight again, not once, twice or three times, until he breaks down the enemy. He is so strong and powerful that he can use his money to hit people.

But Liu Jiajun suddenly rebelled and occupied Shandong and controlled the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Jiangnan, which made the imperial court strangled.

Daming relies on the continuous delivery of money, grain and utensils from the south of the Yangtze River for the needs of others. Since the canal was cut off, they have rarely received such input. What's worse is that now Liu Jun besieged and attacked the south of the Yangtze River. Once they were asked to fight down the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be really drastic.

If the south of the Yangtze River is lost, Daming will no longer be the former Ming Empire with the richest wealth and abundant materials, but will become a local country. This is because they have lost the most important military pay and food supply base. They will quickly fall into great difficulties and can no longer form a large army as before, You can defeat the enemy at will.

Liu Jiajun's move to the south of the Yangtze River is also a dangerous move. Once successful, it will greatly change their pattern.

At this moment, Liu Bu was also energetic. No one expected that he had only been here for a few years. The Liu family had changed from a rich man who was slaughtered by powerful people to a powerful force famous all over the world. Now he has hundreds of thousands of strong troops and huge grain producing areas, and has the ability to compete for the world.

That's why he dared to write down the crusade against Zhu Mingxi with great pride and prepared to compete with Daming for the world. However, it is urgent to fight Nanjing. Once Nanjing is defeated, it can sweep the surrounding cities, and they can gain the upper hand.

Once they have not won Nanjing city when the flowers bloom next spring, the imperial court will send a large army south at all costs to support and echo. They will be forced to retreat, which will be tragic.

Therefore, for Daming and the Liu family, Nanjing is the key, which is related to the growth and decline of both sides. Whoever controls this place, who is the new boss, can become the master of this place.

If Liu Jiajun can occupy the south of the Yangtze River and sit in this land of fish and rice, they can calmly layout, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then learn from the skill of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of his old Zhu family, build high walls, accumulate grain and become the king slowly. Finally, the world is theirs.

The Liu family has unlimited scenery in front of her, but Liu Bu hasn't been blinded by the scenery in front of her, because he knows that now is a key time for Daming and the Liu family. If the Liu family can't attack and occupy Nanjing in a short time, they can form control over this place.

After the warm spring flowers bloom next year, the imperial army will go south. Liu Jun can't draw enough strength to fight them, and their Liu family is easy to collapse.

In history, how many powerful opponents had the upper hand at the beginning, but they failed in the blink of an eye because of their carelessness. For example, at the beginning of this dynasty, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were not under Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the world.

Liu Bu now deeply warned himself that he must not be proud or inflate. Moreover, Liu Bu has really achieved self-discipline, a high degree of self-control and a certain talent.

That's why he wanted to enter the bridal chamber before he went to the bridal chamber. He heard the good news and immediately sent troops south. Such a spirit and means gratified Liu Zhongyong and Liu Fuqi who watched him grow up. Their young master is a grown-up and a hero today.

At the beginning, Liu Bu was a man who dared to hang himself for a woman. Now, he can send troops to attack Jiangnan for the sake of the world.
