Compared with Chen Kai and Su Li, Huang Yingjie is just an outsider, and his vital interests are not here, so his flexibility will naturally be much higher. It's just that at this moment, he is still on the road, but the siege of the Ming army against Huilai County has begun.

Huilai County was established in October of the third year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, which is a part of Huilai, Youtou, Daxiao and Longjing in Chaoyang County, plus Longxi in Haiyang County. In the second year of the establishment of the county, the construction of the castle began, and it took two years to build. The circumference of the city is nearly five miles, open the four gates of the southeast and northwest, because the city is located in the southeast of Kwai Ling, so it is also called Kwai Yang.

Jiajing has been in the past four years, and it has a history of more than 120 years. Tired of expansion, but also built a moat around the city, more than eight meters wide, stone masonry on both banks. Originally, the city was strong, but it was repeatedly attacked by bandits and pirates since it was built, and it was also damaged by earthquakes during the Wanli period, so that the city wall was cracked. As for the county town seized from the Ming army, Su Li himself did not have the energy to repair it on a large scale, but spent more resources on expanding the army and conquest. Until now, it was too late to be trapped here by the Ming army.

Chen Bin's reinforcements entered the city, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to take the east opening. In the past few days, while the Ming army was confronting Su Li, it did not forget to build siege equipment.

In the early morning of the second day when Chen Bin entered the city, the Ming army went straight to the city, and there were only a small number of troops in the north and east of the city to monitor and block the city gates, and the army was assembled in the south of the city, obviously intending to use this place as a breakthrough.

At a glance, the towering lookouts look at the city walls, and even some have reached a condescending height, and they are full of Ming army archers, some are foot archers, and some are fire guns, standing on different lookouts, without half a point of chaos; Under the lookout, there are also a large number of rushing cars, which seem to have deliberately crashed into the city wall; Compared with these two, the Ming army did not put too much effort into the ladder and other siege equipment, and it seems that the intention of collapsing the city wall is not at all.

"Chen Bin, the surname of the country treated you like a mountain back then......"

Under the city, the iron horn of the Ming army was a mouth cannon against the city. It's just that this time, although the main opponent is Su Li, the mouth cannon under the city doesn't seem to be even half interested in his people, and all focus on Chen Bin. From the beginning of his defection as the leader of a small township, to Chen Bin's sudden surrender to the Qing Dynasty, which disrupted the strategic layout of the Ming army, and now he wants to repent, as long as he takes Su Li's head out of the city, he can not blame Yunyun in the past.

All this seems to be normal, but the Ming army is neither official or Chaozhou dialect spoken by Chen Bin's subordinates, but Hokkien dialect, while most of Su Li's subordinates are from Hailufeng and Huilai County, and most of them speak exactly that Hokkien dialect.

This is clearly to sow discord!

If you really want Chen Bin to be the internal response, then secretly contact is the right way, how can it be so blatant. Chen Bin was very angry about this and wanted to lead his troops out of the city to fight the Ming army, but was immediately stopped by Su Li. After a few words of persuasion, he persuaded him to return to the station to continue his rest.

Chen Bin's troops are guest troops, and according to the art of war, the guest troops cannot move forward, and they are not in the middle of the column, because they lack the courage to defend their homeland and family, so they are not trustworthy. Sully is illiterate, but he has led the army for many years, and he still understands this truth.

The key to defending Huilai County is to rely on his own troops, while Chen Bin's troops are more of a contingency soldier at a critical juncture, nothing more. What's more, now that Chen Bin's troops have just arrived, they are still a tired army, and it is better to stay until the critical time than to let the angry Chen Bin go out of the city and consume troops needlessly. After all, their purpose was to wait for Huang Yingjie's reinforcements to arrive, not to defeat the Ming army alone.

The persuasion failed, the banner of Chen Kai, the general system of eastern Guangdong, pressed forward, the war drums rumbled like thunder, and a large number of auxiliary soldiers and people who were driven away ran towards the direction of the moat with dirt bags and sandbags. There were also a large number of Ming troops armed with axes, apparently to cut down those plum blossom piles outside the city.

Cleaning up the plum pile and trying to fill the moat is the first step in the siege, the plum pile is not mentioned, it is only a temporary blockage, the eight-meter-wide moat, which requires a lot of effort.

The Ming army sent auxiliaries and people to fill the moat, and the Qing army defending the city also started shooting when they reached nearly 100 steps, and from time to time the auxiliaries and people fell, but it didn't take long for the Ming army's siege equipment to reach 150 or 60 steps, especially those lookouts were up to 100 steps, and the Qing army at the head of the city launched a confrontation.

At such a distance, the Ming army can be called blatant. However, Su Li was just a coward and did not have the ability to produce artillery, and the artillery in his hand was inherited from Su Cheng and captured from Huilai and other places, and the caliber was not much, and most of them were old-style tiger squat cannons, many of which were placed in his old nest Jieshi Wei. Even if they are all here, and the caliber is enough to threaten the siege equipment of the Ming army, it is useless, because the cracking of the city wall is serious, and the recoil force of the artillery fire is huge, and there is no need for the Ming army to attack the city, and the city wall has already been collapsed if it is not done well.

The Ming army was so blatantly shooting at the Qing army, highlighting an unscrupulous one, obviously knowing something about the county town of Huilai and the situation of his army. It's no surprise that both sides are old rivals, and Sully commands his men to resist. However, there are a lot of shooters in the Ming army, and they are better in training and weapons, but at this moment, they can't take advantage of the city, just useless consumption.

Between the city wall and the lookout, arrows and lead bullets come and go, but the Ming army auxiliaries and people below are much safer, carrying dirt bags and sandbags is a rush back and forth.

As time passed, the edge of the moat gradually began to show some dirt bags and sandbags. Sully knew that this meant that it would not be long before the moat would fill in enough paths for siege equipment to reach the walls.

Up to now, although half a day has passed, the siege of the Ming army is in an orderly manner, and there is no half of the chaos, obviously after a long period of training. At this moment, he lacked artillery, and he was not disturbed by anything, everything was in order, it was estimated that it would not take long for the moat to fill out the passageway, rush to the city wall, and the city wall, which already had many cracks, collapsed under the violent impact again and again, and then the Ming army shouted and slaughtered into the city, wantonly slashing and killing the rout, and he was left with a dead end.

A textbook ancient siege battle, Su Li did not intend to become the "monster" used to improve the combat experience of the Ming army. The death squad assembled on the inside of the city gate, Su Li got off the city wall, and roared at this group of carefully selected warriors, which was nothing more than completing the task, sharing money, food, and the old routine of the girls, and then a bowl of water and wine, and those thieves who had accumulated years arrived in the cave of the city gate to wait.

In an instant, the drawbridge fell, the gates opened, and the death squads rushed out with a shout. Their task was to burn the watchtowers of the Ming army, kill the auxiliary soldiers and civilians of the Ming army, and blunt the offensive of the Ming army as much as possible. By the time they had crossed the drawbridge, the gates were closed, and the drawbridge was reopened, it didn't matter if they would come back.

There was no way back, and these murderous thieves shouted and killed, when even some of the people and auxiliaries who didn't have time to react were cut down to the ground by them. But before they could get close to the lookout, the Ming army was already in full array, and the wall-like formation blocked the way to the lookout.

The fight began, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways, and Su Li mobilized more shooters to come forward, trying to kill as many Ming troops as possible. However, the Ming army had already prepared, quickly killed all the Qing troops who rushed out of the city, and took advantage of the situation to send a rushing car, and the Ming army of the brigade immediately followed behind the rushing car and killed the city wall.

The battle was about to enter the most critical moment, and Su Li never imagined that the Ming army's offensive would be so fierce. Looking into the distance, just behind the formation of the Ming army, it seemed that there was really a huge figure looking down on this small city indifferently.

Unable to care about anything else, Su Li hurriedly transferred the troops in the city waiting for rotation, ready to make more responses at any time. The troops were quickly assembled, and many Qing troops knew that Su Li had taken the county seat of Huilai from this Ming army, and the county magistrate and the defender of the Ming army were killed, and the most hatred was as deep as the sea.

The whole city was in a mess, and the friendly troops on the east side of the city who were still resting were even more bothered. But at this moment, Chen Bin tied a strip of red cloth on his left arm, nodded to a man beside him who was dressed like a soldier, and immediately raised the big axe that he relied on to become famous, and shouted to the soldiers under his command who were also wearing red strips:

"We are the master of the Ming Dynasty, kill Su Li!"
