When Hu Yihuang's army swung his swords vigorously and tyrannized the White Russian mercenaries, Lin Fengxiang and his troops were still marching in the cold wind.

Their target is a million northeastern reinforcements from Qishan.

In a counter-direction march to the south and a north, it is really impossible to determine in advance where the two armies will meet.

Zhang Wen and Lin Fengxiang walked side by side, discussing as they walked, and made arrangements as much as they could for this blocking battle.

They have now passed through Montenegro, and according to the information that Mai Ke told them beforehand, they know that those northeastern reinforcements are rushing towards them with all their might.

Now the number of the Northeast Corps has increased to forty-five, including their own 200,000, the converted enemy army is 50,000, and the remaining 50,000 are the newly recruited fighters in the areas they have passed.

There were dozens of squads in front, constantly probing the enemy's news, and then reporting the enemy's movements to Lin Fengxiang.

Mai Ke stood at the front of the first carriage and led the middle route troops to march from the Zhongqing River, aiming at the prefect's yamen.

Along the way, the Heavenly Army almost encountered almost no resistance, at most there were three or two kittens, and without the Heavenly Army's hands, they would have run faster than rabbits and disappeared.

Of course, the Celestial Army will not be distracted to deal with them, but just concentrate on advancing towards the goal.

The Celestial Army is still maintaining three routes, advancing in unison.

Among them, there are those who sneak under the water and those who float on the water.

The riverbanks on the left and right, each with one road, are all by train, and the three-in-one hub project is progressing at the same time as the train.

The Heavenly Army marched in three directions and soon arrived at the main gate of the mansion.

Mai Ke had already seen clearly that thousands of defenders were scattered at the front gate to defend, and a small number were hidden behind the gate.

As the Celestial Army approached the northern end of the Zhongqing River, the defenders were moving to the shore. There is no defensive position in the dìng yet.

Apparently they did not expect that the Celestial Army would come from this direction.

Caught off guard, he had to make temporary changes and rushed to the Zhongqing River to arrange defenses.

In a hurry, the defenders had no choice but to shoot arrows desperately, and the Tu celestial army approached the prefect's yamen.

But these efforts have had little effect. It's just a nuisance to the Heavenly Army coming from the water.

There was no lethality against the Celestial Army, which marched from both flanks of the river, because they were all in the train, and these bullets and arrows could not penetrate the train carriages.

These defenders were not elite in the first place, and many of them had almost no battlefield experience, and they couldn't stop the Heavenly Army, so their own was in chaos.

Mai Ke has a full view of these situations, and of course he will not miss the opportunity!

Taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy, the Celestial Army commanding both wings took the train to directly break through the defenders' defenses!

The train didn't stop for a moment and drove directly into the gate of the government. Arrive at the front door of the government hall.

Without waiting for the train to stop, all the carriage doors opened, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Army gushed out, a total of more than 50,000 people!

The defenders, who were already small in number, were caught off guard and interspersed with scattered pieces, and had no fighting spirit and even a little decent resistance. None of them were organized, and they were subdued by the soldiers of the Celestial Army.

Most of the defenders were captured alive. The rest also surrendered.

Among the defenders who surrendered was a hundred generals who led the troops.

After he surrendered, he turned his credit for his crimes, handed over the defenders hidden in the prefect's yamen, and surrendered to the heavenly army, which had a total of 2,000 people.

After the defenders of the prefect's yamen were resolved, the Celestial Army landed and tore up the Manchu dragon flag that had been fluttering in the wind. Raise the banner of the Celestial Army high.

Although this victory only represented the elimination of a small part of the defenders by the Celestial Army, it represented the change of owners of the entire Yingzhou City.

Yingzhou was no longer the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and had become part of the Kingdom of Heaven.

This flag can be seen no matter where you are in Yingzhou City. It is also the cohesion that all defenders, no matter where they are, can be seen.

Once lost, they know that all the goals they defend are gone.

From now on, even if they continue to fight, they will only fight on their own.

Therefore, the Celestial Army laid down the prefect's yamen, a symbol of Manchu rule, and replaced the banner of ownership with the banner of the Celestial Army, which directly broke the will of the defenders.

The first to be affected was Yan Wangduo, who originally went to the reserve army camp in the southeast of the city, preparing to counterattack the south gate, but as soon as he arrived at the camp gate, he saw the big banner in the city center change flags, and knew that the prefect's yamen was no longer guaranteed.

He immediately dismissed the idea of retaking the south gate, and led the 100,000 reserves there diagonally through the city and rushed to the northwest city.

It was where his family base was.

All his family, all his wealth, all his preparations, were gathered there, and that was something he could never afford to lose.

Li Kaifang's East Road army was inserted directly into the material storage area of the Qing army along the Dongqing River, where it was mainly food, in addition, there were weapons, building materials and other military materials.

The defenders stubbornly resisted for a while, but they could not withstand the amphibious attack of the Celestial Army, and soon the entire storage area fell into the hands of the Celestial Army.

The biggest loophole in the defense of this warehouse area is that a river can be directly driven into it by boat, which is the original time when transporting materials, and it has also been dug out, and it is very convenient to enter and exit.

Safety is also not an issue, because there are sluices on the water, and no one can enter unless the sluice gates are opened.

However, these things, in front of the underwater ships of the Heavenly Army, are equivalent to opening the door widely, and they will be driven directly in.

By the time the Celestial Army rises from within, all defenses are useless.

The 20,000 defenders, except for a dozen who refused to surrender and were killed on the spot by the Celestial Army, all surrendered to the Celestial Army on the spot.

They didn't even get a chance to escape, so they were blocked by both ends of the heavenly army.

Li Kaifang hurriedly counted it and found that this important warehouse of the Qing army, except for hundreds of thousands of stone old grains and some uses, other things really didn't have much value.

I don't know if there are no good things at all, or if the good things have been carried away by those corrupt elements.

Originally, there were three large houses in it, which were dedicated to storing silver taels, but when I opened it, it was empty, and there was not a tael of silver.

According to the prior arrangement, Li Kaifang piled up those things that had little value into a pile and turned them into a high pile, with everything from wood and forage, and then set a fire to make them burn!

Suddenly, flames and smoke rose into the sky, and the whole city could be seen.

There is grain in hand, and there is no panic in the heart; the grain and grass are burned, and the defenders, who have been lost by the prefect's yamen, and have no masters, are suddenly even more panicked!

Li Kaifang finished setting the fire, leaving only one company to guard the warehouse, so he divided his troops into two routes, all the way to the north gate, and all the way to the east gate.

Their goal was to get these two gates into the hands of the Heavenly Army, and then hold them firmly so that no one would escape from the city, and certainly no one would enter the city without permission.

Mai Ke's own way was also divided into two ways, one way to capture Ximen, all the way to help Xie Qian, and try his best to take Yan Wangduo's lair.

The defenders of the West City Gate were the most, and although Mai Ke knew that they were already unstable, for the sake of insurance, he still brought the main force of the Middle Route Army over, including Yue Blade's 1,000 monks.

In addition to the three Qing rivers and the moat that surrounds the city wall, Yingzhou City also has eight transverse rivers in the city, which structure the entire urban area into a water network that extends in all directions.

At the end of the Nakatsu River, just before the government office, there is a transverse river, and its westernmost point is connected to the West Gate.

Mai Ke gave an order, and the army went straight to the west gate.

When crossing the Xiqing River, Mai Ke sent 10,000 people to support Xie Qian, and these 10,000 people turned their heads ninety degrees and drove north downstream.

Mai Ke's army is still 100,000 men, because it includes 10,000 people in the scorched earth.

Yue Blade's 1,000 monks and soldiers were still marching with the team.

The work is not big, everyone arrived in the west city, and at a glance, they knew that this was a structure of an outer city and an urn city.

The 150,000 defenders were basically still there, but they were cowering between the outer gate and the inner gate of the urn city.

The inner gate is the only way to enter the inner city from the city.

The comparison of the strength of the two sides -- the 100,000 Heavenly Army and the 150,000 defenders had the upper hand.

However, the morale of the defenders was low, and the fighting spirit of the Celestial Army was high, which neutralized the advantage of the defenders.

At the moment, the two sides are quite evenly matched.

Mai Ke called the division commanders over and held a temporary meeting, which was also attended by Scorched Earth and Yue Blade.

Mai Ke gave everyone two tasks, one was to enter the urn city, and the other was to prevent the enemy from escaping.

The key to entering the urn city is to capture the inner gate.

The key to preventing the enemy from escaping is to take the outer gate, otherwise these defenders will not be right at the first sight of the momentum, and they will open the west gate and flee.

It was too late for them to chase after Simon.

Therefore, the top priority is to surprise the enemy, take advantage of the enemy's lack of time to react, and quickly take the West Outer Gate.

As soon as everyone heard that this task was arduous, they all rushed to go, so that Mai Ke could see these people, and none of them seemed to be competent.

The biggest difficulty is to have the ability to jump over the ridge, go up from the east gate of this urn city, and then transition from these roofs to the west outer gate, every step is high and high, without the corresponding ability, it is not enough to have guts.

Finally, Yue Jian stood up and said, "My monk soldiers can try!"

Knowing that they were all martial arts masters, Mai Ke decided to let them complete this task.

In order to cooperate with the sneak attack and ensure the success of encircling and suppressing the enemy, Mai Ke arranged a special combat team of Tuyuan experts to cooperate in a special way.

In the end, it is these large armies, and their responsibility is to surround this frightened bird and divert their attention.

In order that they would not cause trouble for the former monks and soldiers.

At the same time, Mai Ke specially gave Scorched Earth a task, asking him to lead his 10,000 bandit-born soldiers to challenge in front of the inner gate!

Scorched Earth was overjoyed, grinning as he mobilized a group of tall and powerful people.

Each of them is holding a special weapon, which is the big axe of the mountain, which is bright and shining, and it is heavy, and Aomori Mori exudes a chilling light! .
