Because at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang in Xuancheng specially held a grand funeral for Li Zitong in the city in order to act.
In order to show that he has no other thoughts about the position of power, it will lay the foundation for his smooth ascension to the throne in the future.
Therefore, the scouts of the Wu army, who were in charge of coming to investigate, easily infiltrated the city.
Subsequently, Wu Jun scouts converged with the secret agents in the city and went to the funeral site to investigate.
It is necessary to observe the reality of the truth, whether Li Zitong really died or died early, or Zhu Yuanzhang's conspiracy Of course, it is impossible for the mourning hall to be located directly in the county government, and Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately rented the uninhabited old mansion of the family for the sake of his safety.
Subsequently, around its mourning hall, there were three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and its depth was extremely terrifying However, all this seems to be no problem for Wu Jun's secret agents.
After all, the secret agents of the Wu army had been secretly lurking in the city to provide him with information a long time ago, following Sun Jian's instructions.
In the mourning hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed in mourning clothes at this time, kneeling here to guard his spirit Suddenly, Chang Yuchun, a general who was eight feet tall, with a beard on his head and wearing armor, walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side in a big stride posture.
Immediately, he whispered in front of his ear, and then saw Zhu Yuanzhang say softly: "Hmm" "Pretend you don't know, just let it investigate."
Hearing this, after receiving his instructions, Chang Yuchun was ordered to retire again.
Due to Jiang Nanjun's ignorance, Wu Jun's secret agents naturally blended into the courtyard of his mourning hall.
And, with Zhu Yuanzhang's hype, almost all the clans in the city and celebrities from all walks of life came to mourn at this time.
Therefore, now its courtyard can be described as crowded and crowded.
This can be said to be a great thing, providing an excellent layer of camouflage for the Wu army's secret agents.
Outside Xuancheng, the Wu army camp At this time, several scouts were secretly sending the news from the secret agents out of the city and heading to the camp.
Sun Jian, who swore by him, was already convinced of the news of Li Zitong's death.
Hearing this, Sun Jian was immediately overjoyed, and shouted excitedly: "Good, good, good."
"Li Zitong is dead, and the time has come for our army to break the Jiangnan Army" After several days of fierce fighting, Sun Jian had to admit that Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely capable of commanding troops.
It can be said that he has encountered a fierce opponent in his life, even if he resisted the Taiping Army back then, Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Army that he fought against. are far from the strength of Zhu Yuanzhang's commanding troops But there are no absolutes, and now is the opportunity to defeat Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, no matter how Zhu Yuanzhang can restrain his subordinates.
However, the news of the defeat of the Jiangnan army and the death of Li Zitong could not be blocked in any way At this time, the Jiangnan Army must have lost its morale and its combat strength was not as good as before Therefore, with the current situation, Sun Jian has a great chance of capturing Xuancheng County.
If you can go further, I am afraid that you can continue to go north and seize Danyang County, an important place in the south of the Yangtze River.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Jian began to order, and the whole army gathered to storm the city.
As for the siege of the city, the Wu army was more of a temptation Sun Jian wanted to carefully observe what the real combat strength of the Jiangnan Army was now Did Zhu Yuanzhang suppress his subordinates, so that the morale of the army was not weakened, but they were still closely united.
"Knock Knock" It is only said that the sound of the earth-shattering drums sounded, marking the beginning of the Wu army to attack again.
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to slack off, and immediately changed into a battle armor and went to the city to resist.
For a while, as Wu Jun was not afraid of death, wave after wave attacked The Jiangnan Army also resisted stubbornly under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The fierce fighting between the two sides soon entered a white-hot stage.
However, after all, the Jiangnan Army had just suffered a major defeat, and Li Zitong had just died, and his military morale had been affected.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to suppress his military spirit, he still showed fatigue in the resistance.
"Ding Ding Ding" After besieging the city for a long time, the sound of gold sounded in the Wu army's array, and the Wu soldiers who were struggling to attack immediately retreated like a tide.
In the camp, Sun Jian smiled heartily and was full of excitement.
Although this attack was not able to capture the city.
However, through the military formation, Sun Jian had already found that in the fierce offensive and defensive battles outside, the Jiangnan soldiers were exhausted.
If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's timely discovery and instant compensation, I'm afraid that my army would have killed the city.
All kinds of signs show that the prestige of the Jiangnan Army has been greatly discharged, and the territory on the south bank of the Yangtze River is basically impossible for the Jiangnan Army to hold.
Therefore, at this moment, how can Sun Jian not be excited Night is approaching, and the middle of the night can be said to be the deepest moment of sleep.
But now, in Xuancheng, a soldier with bright armor is escorting the coffin to the north.
Looking carefully, this army is the Jiangnan Army, and it is Zhu Yuanzhang who abandoned the city and evacuated.
It turned out that after today's siege battle, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his army was already unstable due to the new defeat.
If they forcibly fight against the Wu army, I am afraid that the whole army will collapse by itself, and the gains will outweigh the losses Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to abandon the whole county of Xuancheng and cede it to Wu Jun.
Subsequently, his army withdrew to the north with full authority and retreated to the last line of defense on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Danyang County.
In the early morning of the next day, many soldiers in the Wu army camp were under the military orders of the generals.
He got up early, and then after breakfast, under Sun Jian's instructions, he opened a large camp and assembled to Xuancheng to stand by It's just that after the whole Wu army was assembled, they were ready to start the siege.
But at this time, a strange scene appeared, because there was no movement in the city.

This move couldn't help but make Sun Jian extremely puzzled, and then he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent a death squad into the city to inspect.
After a long time, all the death squads who inspected returned safely and told them: "My lord, the city is empty, and there are no Jiangnan soldiers at all. ” Hearing this, Sun Jian did not give instructions for a long time, and there were no enemy soldiers, so where did the Jiangnan army go These countless questions instantly poured into Sun Jian's mind, and thoughts suddenly came to him.
After a long time, Zhang Zhao, who was with the army on the side, said: "Lord, isn't it because the Jiangnan army is unstable, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to abandon the city."
In the end, with Zhang Zhao's reminder, Sun Jian immediately sent a sentry horse to the north to investigate.
Sure enough, the Wu Army Sentinel Cavalry really found traces of the Jiangnan Army dozens of miles away.
The size of his army was no less than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then the sentry cavalry did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned and reported it to Sun Jian.
For a while, Sun Jian directly led the army into Xuancheng, and then divided his troops to attack various places.
Due to the seizure of its county capital, the rest of the places were also completely incorporated into the Wu army in just two days.
Immediately after that, Sun Jian's ambition also began to grow, and he gathered the generals to begin to discuss the preparation of leading the army north.
Capture Danyang in one fell swoop and completely expel the forces of the Jiangnan Army to the south bank of the Yangtze River.
I don't know if the Wu army can seize Danyang and dominate the south bank of the Yangtze River :
