Let's say that the second leader, Wang Leopard, with women, old and young, mixed with some fake patients, about 100 people, came to Meixian County at noon. When the county order left, the gatekeeper received an order to strictly guard the county seat, so he did not dare to be careless, and checked the people who entered the city one by one. At this time, when I saw more than 100 people coming, I was a little surprised, and I didn't see it clearly until I got closer, they were all old and weak women and children.

The soldier stepped forward to interrogate, and Wang Bao was able to speak well, repeated the prepared speech, and secretly stuffed the soldier with some broken silver. The soldier was very happy, and was about to let him go, when the gatekeeper came, and Wang Bao concocted it according to the law, and gave the gatekeeper some money, and explained the situation, and the gatekeeper looked at these people, except for women, children, old people and sick people, there was no danger. And he was so happy to accept the money and send his favor out, so he waved his hand and let everyone into the city.

The gatekeeper was afraid of being mixed with spies, and instructed Wang Bao to lead the people not to go far, and camped on the street in the city gate, at this time the weather was not cold, and it was not difficult.

With the help of settling the women and children, Wang Bao looked at the defense situation inside and outside the city gate, and above and below the city wall several times, and knew it in his heart. He saw that there were really not many officers and soldiers in the city, there were only dozens of people in the city and under the city, and among the people he carried, there were more than 20 strong men pretending to be sick.

So Wang Bao took people and began to wait.

Besides, he didn't go fast with the main force, about four or five hundred people, because they carried all the supplies, and besides, they didn't want to go so fast, as long as they rushed to the outside of Meixian County when it was dark.

Bai Qi was very cautious, although he concluded that no one would know that he would attack Meixian, but he still sent scouts to the front to inquire about the military situation.

The four scouts took turns to inquire and kept reporting the news, and the news was the same:

There were no officers and soldiers ahead.

At dusk, Bai Qi's men and horses finally arrived ten miles outside Meixian County. At this time, the weather is getting dark, and the head of Meixian County has begun to sing gold, beckoning people scattered outside the city to return to the city as soon as possible.

In these years, because there were thieves everywhere and the law and order was extremely poor, every prefecture and county had to close the city gates at dusk, and some counties also imposed curfews to prevent thieves.

Meixian County did not have a curfew, but since the white uproar, Meixian County has also begun a curfew.

As soon as he heard the sound of Mingjin, Bai Qi ordered his men and horses to stop, set up camp on the spot, make a fire and cook, and wait until they were full of food and drink, and after late at night, they began to attack the city.

Since there was already Neiying in the city, everyone was very sure in their hearts, so they found a flat place under a high hill and began to set up camp. Due to the high hill blocking this place, there is no fire in the city, so it will not alarm the defenders, and it is very safe.

When everyone had eaten, it was already completely dark, Bai Qi ordered the fire to be extinguished, he left fifty men to take care of the supplies, and then led four hundred or so people to the city.

These people were infantry, they didn't ride horses, and there was no sound between the actions.

They came to the city a mile away, and the city had not yet found them, and the officers and soldiers in the city were listless, and they did not look much outside the city, but only quarreled with each other, and from time to time scolded a few foul words, venting the depression in their hearts.

Bai Qi looked at the city, there were only about forty guards, and it seemed that the other three gates were the same, so it seems that there were less than 200 people on night duty in the city, and there were maybe 200 people resting in the city and preparing to change shifts in the middle of the night, and there were only 400 guards in the city at most.

Because most of the people in the city have been pulled out to suppress the bandits.

Bai Qi sneered, he knew that after tonight, Meixian would belong to him.

He waited a little longer, and felt that it was almost over, and the people of the city began to snooze, and the shouting and scolding became much quieter.

Bai Qi gave an order to attack the city.

They didn't have a ladder, and they didn't need a ladder, so they just waited for the king leopard in the city to open the gate and rush in.

Therefore, when they had received the order, they shouted in unison, rushed forward, and lit the torches in their hands, and hundreds of torches immediately illuminated the outside of the city.

When the officers and soldiers in the city heard the sound of the siege, they were so frightened that they hurriedly jumped up and looked out, and hundreds of torches were pouring towards the city gate outside the east gate, and there were only about forty of them.

The officer on duty has some experience, and when he saw that the enemy under the city did not have a ladder, he sneered a few times: "They don't have siege equipment, they can't come up, everyone just guard the city gate." ”

But at this time, suddenly there was a sound of killing on the street at the city gate, and the officer on duty was taken aback, thinking that the thieves had entered the city? He ran to the inner wall and looked down, and sure enough, he saw more than twenty people with torches, shouting and rushing towards the city gate.

The officer on duty hurriedly ordered a small team of men and horses to guard the city gate.

Since there were only about forty people in the city, and he had to keep an eye on the hundreds of thieves outside, he could only draw out twenty people to protect the city gate.

These twenty officers and soldiers rushed down to the city and fought with Wang Bao and others.

Although the more than 20 people led by Wang Bao did not hold weapons, they had already picked up stones and other objects on the ground and threw them indiscriminately, and some people waved torches, so that the officers and soldiers did not dare to get close.

With this effort, Wang Bao rushed to the city gate, and with a few men, he broke the iron cable with stones, and then removed the big wood from the bolt gate and opened the city gate.

This is terrible, because Meixian County is not big, there is no moat outside the city, and naturally there is no suspension bridge and urn city, just a city gate to block it. As soon as the gate opened, hundreds of strong men outside the gate rushed into the city with shouts.

Bai Qi had already been assigned before the siege. At this time, the city gate opened, and after more than 400 people poured in, they divided their troops, one Baichang led people to rush up the city wall, and began to search and kill the soldiers defending the city along the city wall, and the other three Baichang went straight to the military camp station, and killed the resting officers and soldiers with all their might.

And Bai Qi took Wang Bao and others and went straight to the county office.

The pot was opened when the city was neutral.

When the people heard the noise, they looked through the gate, and the streets were slaughtered, and where did they dare to come out, one by one, they closed the door, and shrank in the house, leaving the world to be turned upside down outside.

There are not many soldiers in Meixian County, plus the county order and the generals are not there, the dragons have no leader, they stand in a plate of scattered sand, and in the face of superior forces, they are well prepared Bai Qi, where is the opponent.

Needless to say, the officers and soldiers on the city wall saw hundreds of people killing violently, and they turned around and fled in fright, and they didn't dare to fight at all.

The soldiers in the barracks, not long after they fell asleep, were rushed into the camp by more than 300 people, slashed and killed everywhere, and made a dizziness. Most of the rest of the soldiers were unjustly killed.

There are also many people who have no clothes on, and only wear pants and run away. A few hundred chiefs led people to hunt down the Ming army along the street.

Besides, Bai Qi and Wang Bao and others broke into the front of the county government to take a look, the yamen was wide open, and the inside was empty, Bai Qi sat in the lobby and ordered the teams to report the progress, and at the same time he strictly ordered his men and horses not to kill the people.

Most of these people are from Meixian County, so although they entered the city, there really weren't many people who killed people indiscriminately, and the military discipline was okay.

Before dawn, the men and horses of each team reported one after another, and summed up the results before and after, killing more than 230 officers and soldiers, killing more than 40 on their own side, and wounding 60 or 70, all of them lightly.

Bai Qi ordered to post a notice to reassure the people, and at the same time sealed off the treasury, strictly prohibiting the rebellious people from taking advantage of the fire to loot.

After two hours of busy work, the sky was already bright, Bai Qi ordered the people outside the city to guard the supplies to also come into the city, at this time Lei Sheng and others also came overnight, everyone will be in one place, looking at the captured city, they are very excited.

There are money, grain, horses, weapons, clothing, etc. in the treasury of the city, and everyone is dazzled. Bai Qi did not hesitate and immediately began to recruit troops.

He knew that in less than a day, the other two counties would learn that Meixian County had been lost, and the thousands of men and horses sent to sweep him up would immediately rush over with great momentum, and at that time, it would be a bloody battle to greet him.

At this moment, Wang Bao disappeared from the crowd, Bai didn't care at first, but after a while, Lei Sheng ran over and said breathlessly: "General, it's not good, Wang Bao disobeyed the military order and killed people." ”
