Chapter 69: The Praying Mantis and the Yellow Sparrow (5)
The offensive in the south of the city is in full swing, and the city has already been busy with a pot of boiling porridge. Chen Bin and the pro-soldiers took the lead, and led the soldiers of the brigade to the Huilai County Ya.
The county government was built at the same time as the construction of the city, and after a hundred years, it has long been reduced to Suli's lair here. Chen Bin and his entourage set off from the barracks near the East City Gate and went all the way to the east, but no one cared about them, and they were not busy showing their attitudes, so they arrived at the county school in the east of the county government without incident.
"What are you doing, go to the aid and go south."
When the officers on guard saw the approaching of the brigade, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and when the words came out, they saw clearly that it was Chen Bin, and before they could apologize, they saw that this short-tempered friendly marshal chopped it down with an axe.
The last image in the officer's eyes was that he was slashed diagonally by Chen Bin's neck with an axe. The person fell to the ground, blood splattered all over the ground, and then the Ming army rushed into the county government with blood.
Chen Bin showed a spicy appearance, and his subordinates knew that if they surrendered back, there must always be a vote, and they even slashed and killed the Qing army who were caught off guard. A force of only 1,000 people launched a surprise attack in the county town where 7,000 Qing troops were stationed, and the fight was taken by surprise.
The county government is an important administrative place, but after Chen Bin entered, he didn't do anything, but the county school in the east of the county government was unlucky, and soon smoke came out, and this building with a history of 100 years even if it was relocated turned into a sea of fire. And the Ming army also quickly launched an attack on the county government and the surrounding points.
The south of the city was still fighting bloodily, but there was a sudden chaos in the city, and Su Lidang almost fainted to the ground even though he understood all this. But when more soldiers noticed the strangeness behind him, he did not hesitate to choose the strong man to break his wrist and lead the only cavalry under his command to flee towards the west city gate.
"Sully ran away!"
"Master Wang only punishes Su Li, and the rest don't ask."
"Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not die, and those who resist the king's master will be killed!"
“……”
Screams of terror and shouts of surrender quickly resounded throughout the city, and the Ming army of the brigade entered from the south, north, and east gates, attacking and killing all resistance in sight. With the assistance of Chen Bin's troops, the Ming army quickly controlled various key points in the city, but Su Li really let him escape from the west gate with a small number of cavalry.
The west gate is a special opening under the layout of the Ming army's encirclement of three missing one. There was chaos in the city, and Sullidang understood that it was a hoax from beginning to end. It's ridiculous that he planned to play a fake trick at the beginning - to attack the Puning Ming army through Chaozhou, and then destroy Chen Bin when he returned to the division, so that he could rampage in Chaozhou with his superiority in strength.
Now, everything has come to naught, but it all comes from the long-disappeared Chen Kai. As soon as he returned, he pointed the finger at him, making it clear that he wanted to use his head to deter those potential opponents.
"Okay, good, good, surnamed Chen, you wait, wait for you to face those remnants of Li Chengdong, the old prince and the little prince's vassal soldiers, I want to see what other tricks you have!"
Su Li ran out of the city and was soon intercepted by the Ming cavalry. However, this time Su Li was a poor rat devouring cat, and after paying most of the casualties, he really let him get out of a crack.
"Just run away, even if you escape to Guangzhou, it's just a lost dog, don't be afraid."
After controlling the established points, Chen Bin hurriedly organized the soldiers under his command to shave their hair and take off the number of the green camp, but the strips of red cloth were still clearly tied, for fear that the Ming army entering the city would not see it.
"It's all up to the master's ingenuity."
After arriving at the city, Chen Bin went out of the city to meet Chen Kai. One by one, a capital crime, a criminal general, his identity is very low, and Chen Kai does not intend to embarrass him. Not only can he help reduce a lot of casualties and gain more time, in fact, at the beginning of Chen Bin's rebellion, from that letter, there has been some kind of secret contact between Chen Bin and Zheng Chenggong, originally Zheng Chenggong had a plan to use Chen Bin to open up the situation in Guangdong, and then enter Huizhou Mansion, but now, the main force is likely to not turn in the next year or two, and there is no waste of taking out this chess piece in advance.
In fact, Chen Kai never pinned all his hopes on Chen Bin. The purpose of making so many siege equipment is to prevent Chen Binyang from disobeying, if that is the case, he will take Su Li and kill the two of them in Huilai County. Of course, Chen Bin's choice also left him this way out, and Chen Kai did not intend to break his promise.
"It's all written according to the general system, and Governor Chen teaches it well, otherwise how can the last general play Na Suli around."
Governor Chen is Chen Song, a little guy who has been serving by Chen Kai's side, and has not participated in any thrilling events in the past few years with Chen Kai, but he is literate and has eyesight, and he has done a good job of monitoring the situation in the city for Chen Kai on Nanao Island. This time Chen Kai returned to Chaozhou, and transferred him to the Chaozhou Mansion as a governor, this time he carried Chen Kai's assumption that he would ask Chen Bin some possible questions and answers from Su Li's point of view, while monitoring Chen Bin, while assisting Chen Bin to deceive Su Li, so that Chen Bin finally deceived Su Li's trust.
At this moment, Chen Bin is very respectful, and he has completely lost the pride he had in the army. Speaking of which, it is nothing more than defecting to the Qing Dynasty, consciously inferior, or not daring to be too high-profile. What he needed now was a real fight to prove his loyalty, and he didn't dare to say much about it until then. It's just that after a year of polishing, maybe now that he knows Shi Lang, he may not be as needle-to-wheat as he was back then.
"Who knows?"
After a few words of appeasement, Chen Kai also received a detailed report on the battle. The Ming army recovered Huilai and Chaoyang counties, the latter was anyway, the former was captured, Su Li's main force in Huilai was almost completely annihilated, and now a team of troops are being escorted into the barracks by the Ming army.
Su Li knew that he would be defeated, abandoned the army and absconded, and the army in the city did not put up any fierce resistance, only heard that Su Li ran away, and heard that the army only punished Su Li, and most of them hesitated to choose. It is said that Su Li is reckless in the occupied area, squeezing people's wealth, and secretly going through some sea trade, the family background should not be so shallow, and it is estimated that there should be a harvest from the old nest of Jieshiwei.
"Master Hou, have the two things I wanted arrived?"
"According to what Cheng Cheng said, the fleet will be guarded by the thin stones, and when the army arrives, it will be unloaded."
"Now is the time." The preparation for returning to Chaozhou is for this battle, and now it is a complete victory, and the difference is nothing more than the end.
"Gentlemen, it is advisable to chase after the poor bravely, and not to become famous and learn from the overlord. The head of Suli is the most suitable ballast stone for us to restore Chaozhou Anblock! ”
