After receiving Liao Sangun's urgent report, Qin Chuan immediately summoned Luo Daniu, Li Dingliang, Lao Huang, Lynx, Ren Liang and others to discuss matters in the county government, and other students in the lecture hall listened to it on the side.

After discussing for a morning, Qin Chuan finally made a decision: temporarily abandon Ninghua to guard the Thousand Households, and concentrate his troops in Jingle City and Jingyou Town.

Because the Ming army was too numerous, it was impossible to hold the rotten city walls of Ninghua.

Originally, most of Li Dingliang's 700 camps were in Jingle City, and only 30 people were left to guard the Ninghua Institute, and before the military situation was clear, Qin Chuan did not let Li Dingliang lead his troops back to the Ninghua Institute.

When Qin Chuan sent a fast horse to inform the thirty people who stayed behind, they should immediately withdraw to Jingle.

Now Qinchuan has a total of 3,200 troops, of which Jingle City has 1,750, Liu Youzhu's 700 Wudang battalion is stationed in Jingyou Town, Lou Fu only has Luoao's 400 square battalions, Sanzaya, Donghuluchuan, and Black Mountain Mines have left 100 people to garrison, and the remaining dozens are sentry agents brought out by Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun.

The walls of Jingle City are as high as three zhang, and one side is surrounded by mountains, as long as there are three city gates, 1,700 troops should be able to defend it.

Moreover, Rowan and his fox friends have been bewitching people in the city for the past few days, taking care of food and housing, and with a salary of 30 cents per person, they have recruited nearly 500 people from the hungry and poor, as well as Li Sihe's more than 100 wooden gangs, plus the white servants who were willing to stay in the original three classes, a total of more than 700 people.

Although people know that Qin Chuan is rebelling, hundreds of thousands of hungry people can rebel with the rogue leader for a bite to eat, not to mention that Qin Chuan is in charge of food and shelter and pays every thirty literary workers, and those hungry and poor people are naturally willing to rebel with him.

Even many people with land and land were moved, if it weren't for the imperial army coming to the city, the people in the city would have enthusiastically signed up.

When Qin Chuan asked Lao Huang to divide those people into six teams, and took them to the foot of the three city gates for training, mainly to train them to understand the password, know where to move stones, and where to go up the city wall.

Then he took them to demolish the houses, the dilapidated houses that no one lived in the city, and even the big houses of several large households, moved the bricks and timber under the three city gates, and began to seal the door holes, to be completely sealed, even if the Ming army's artillery bombarded the city gates, they could not penetrate the city gates.

Qin Chuan's task for these people is to boil gold juice and oil, and is responsible for transporting materials such as stone and rolling wood, and each of the three city gates is equipped with two teams, of which the north gate is equipped with the largest number of people.

All the blacksmiths in the city have been requisitioned, and they are in full swing to make thistle, Qin Chuan found that this thing is very useful to defend the city, and plans to scatter some on the outside of the city wall, as soon as the enemy steps on it, he will basically lose his combat effectiveness.

The moat outside the city wall is connected to the Fen River, which was originally dry, but after the ice and snow melted and it rained for five consecutive years, there is now half a person's high water inside, which is better than nothing.

When Jingle City was in full swing to strengthen the city defense, Qin Chuan received another urgent report: the 3,000 Ming troops of Lanzhou had entered Luya Mountain lightly and entered Lan County along the road, and the officials of Lan County and the local gentry had prepared grain and grass and gathered 2,000 Ding Guards, preparing to join the Ming army and march south to force Jingyou Town.

This Ming army was dominated by the Weisuo army, and the chief general of the unified army was Xue Dongting, the commander of the Zhenxi Guard, who had an enmity with Qinchuan, and the deputy general was Li Weiquan, a guerrilla general on the West Road of Shanxi.

Hearing this urgent report, Qin Chuan's brows furrowed tightly.

After Xue Dongting joined the Jingentry family in Lan County, the number of troops reached 5,000, which was seven times more than Liu Youzhu's 700 Wudang battalion.

Jingyou Town has no city walls, only an earthen wall that has not been built for a long time, although it has been reinforced and heightened in the past few months, and has reached a height of one zhang and five feet, but it may not be enough in front of the five thousand army.

Jing You has to increase his troops.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan immediately sent two hundred Guan imperial troops to the south and allocated them to Liu Youzhu, and sent someone to inform Montenegro that the one hundred Guan imperial troops in the Black Mountain mine were also allocated to Liu Youzhu, and the miners in Montenegro were ready to withdraw at any time.

At the same time, let Wang Jizong mobilize 1,000 villagers, accompany the 200 and 10 square battalions led by Luo Ba to Jingyou to assist in the defense, and bring a few more newly cast artillery, while Lou Fu only left 300 square battalions, and Wang Jizong was responsible for the defense.

There are only twenty miles between Lou Fu and Jingyou, and the fast horse can arrive in two quarters of an hour, and if there is an enemy situation near Lou Fu, he can return to help at any time.

In addition, Qin Chuan also asked Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun to take back some of the sentry horses, cruising around Jingyou, suppressing the other party's sentry agents, Jingle's side was based on the city, and it was not painful to give up the outside of the city to the Ming army.

In this way, Jingyou has 1,200 Guan Imperial Army, 1,000 villagers, as well as one red-clothed general cannon, two big Buddha cannons, five Fu Lang machines and five tiger squat cannons, a total of thirteen artillery.

Xue Dongting's guards had come last time, and they were easily defeated, so they should be able to withstand it.

In contrast, the 10,000 Ming troops that entered Jingle City were all recruited from various standard battalions, and their combat power was much stronger than that of the Weisuo army, and the Xuanda Border Army had a lot of firearms, and it was not surprising that dozens of artillery pieces and two or three thousand three-eyed guns and bird guns came.

The three-eyed gun is not afraid, but he is afraid that there are too many bird guns, although the Guan Emperor army in Jingle City has sixty flintlock pistols and twelve cannons, even if the range is larger and the rate of fire is faster, but the number is too small, it will definitely be suppressed by the other party.

Therefore, even if Jingle City is resisted by the city wall, the pressure is not much less than that of Jingyou Town.

……

On March 16, the Ming army arrived, and as soon as dawn there were groups of sentry scouts coming from the north, circling around Jingle City.

At noon, the main force of the Ming army arrived, and it arrived along the official road on the edge of the Fen River.

On the north city wall, those people who were carrying stones and rolling wood saw the black pressure army approaching, and they were so frightened that they crawled down the city wall.

The Guan Emperor army on the city wall was also a little commotion, they had not yet faced so many troops.

After the news of the Ming army coming to the city reached the city, thousands of people were even more panicked, and there were calls for children and daughters and cries everywhere, and chickens and dogs jumped for a while.

Qin Chuan wore a brand-new bright helmet on his head, and a lightning rod was erected on the top, with a red tassel tied on it, mainly to make it easier for Emperor Guan to see him.

He wore a brightly polished armor prick that sparkled in the sunlight.

The Ming army was very frenzied, and drove straight to a mile outside the city before stopping to rest on the spot.

Qin Chuan's red-clothed general artillery was only pulled out a few days ago to hit Jingle City and the two villages along the way, and the Ming army didn't know that he had artillery that could fight so far.

In their common sense, only the Hongyi cannon and the big Francophone cannon of more than eight feet can hit a distance of one mile, and such a cannon is impossible for a thousand households to have.

After the army stopped, a cavalry with bright armor slowly approached the city gate, led by several generals in bright armor, among which there were two officials wearing royal blue official uniforms and white faces and beards, who should be the eunuchs who supervised the army.

The gang walked a hundred steps outside the city before stopping, and then they all raised their heads and walked towards Qin Chuan, who was standing most conspicuously on the city tower.

"The city is Ninghua guarding Qinchuan, the place where thousands of households are guarded?" A eunuch shouted in a shrill voice.

Qin Chuan replied: "It's someone Qin, I don't know who is under the feet?" Why did you lead the army into my Jingle County? ”

"Our family is Wang Dehua, the official in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and he has been ordered to come to ask you for your guilt and suppress Lou's nest of troublesome thieves."

"It turned out to be the prince-in-law, dare to ask the father-in-law, what is Qin's crime? Why do you want to ask Qin for the crime? What's the sin of Lou Fu? ”

"Hmph." Wang Dehua snorted coldly, "Qin Chuan, you are good at killing Shangguan, privately casting artillery, wantonly recruiting troops and horses, intending to rebel, our family is following the emperor's will and coming to ask you for your guilt!" ”

"Hehe, what the prince did just now, is there any evidence?"

"The 300-headed tree outside Taiyuan City is the evidence."

"What proof do you have that the 300-headed tree has anything to do with me?"

"Just ...... Hum! Qin Chuan, no matter how sharp your teeth are, you will not be able to escape death today! Our family advises you to open the door obediently and accept the surrender, and you can suffer less, if not, you can't survive and die! ”

"Hehe, since that's the case, then let's not talk nonsense, if you have the ability to hit someone Qin's head, if you don't have the ability, go back and sprinkle more sandalwood on the crotch of your pants, I can smell the smell of urine under your crotch from afar."

"You ......"

Wang Dehua was so angry that his chest was panting, and his already shrill voice suddenly became sharper.

Qin Chuan didn't go down, but signaled a few artillery pieces under his command to aim at Wang Dehua, ready to clean up the dead eunuch who was a traitor seeking glory.

When Li Hongji's Dashun army came to Beijing, it was this hanger who opened the city gate and brought Li Hongji into Beijing.

If you can take the opportunity to kill this hanging hair, it can be regarded as eliminating evil in the world.
