Hangzhou City, located in the west of Zhejiang Province, borders the Qiantang River in the east and the Grand Canal in the north. When the Qing court sent Boluo south to conquer Fujian, the main supplies were concentrated here, so the Qing court garrisoned much more troops in Zhejiang than in other places that had been subjugated.

But who would have thought that the nearly 50,000 soldiers under the command of Qin Shizhen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had been eaten by the Shenzhou army that had forcibly invaded from the sea, and more than 20,000 people had been eaten, and the rest of the troops were guarding all over the place, not daring to move, and the military strength of Hangzhou at this time was only about 20,000 people. Among them, there are 5,000 additional soldiers sent to the general Bo Luo, but Qin Shizhen can't take care of it so much, and now he can use as many people as he can, and he wants to build this place into a strong city like steel. Therefore, the nearby garrisons of Huzhou and Lin'an were also transferred to Hangzhou.

Murong Zhuo kicked open the door of Yue Xiaofei's command car. The children's rhyme of Xu Liejun and his gang of villains just now echoed in his ears: "The staff officer doesn't have a commander, and he doesn't make a fart sound." ”

"I knew it was you, an impolite person, who came, looking at your virtue, isn't it just a 'long' word, give it to yourself!" Yue Xiaofei trembled the appointment letter in his hand, with a bad smile on his face.

Murong Zhuo suddenly understood that he had fallen for these guys.

Yue Xiaofei looked disappointed, and shook his head, "You have to pay for the door, and you have to lose a lot of money for me, so you have to pay for this." You really didn't have a chance to fan you up in two sentences, you don't know how perfect you are in my mind! ”

Murong Zhuo was angry in his heart, he was a person who did great things, and he had to think about how many things he wanted, who could want this gang to ruin his image cleanly. But I also made up my mind in my heart, none of these people are serious, and if they are serious, they will only suffer.

Stretched out his hand to take the letter of appointment, and looked at it carefully, not only with the word "long" in front of it, but also added a general word, the full name is "Chief of Staff of the Shenzhou Army", Murong Zhuo carefully folded it and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he looked at Yue Xiaofei with a look of great disappointment and shook his head: "How can you make Mr. Yang like you like you, just wait to suffer!" ”

"Murong Zhuo is really against you, and you dare to find me a teacher, what do you plan to teach me? Four Books and Five Classics! ”

"You are now the city lord of Shenzhou City, will you be in the future...... Hehe, it's not easy to say in the future! But you can't go on like this, we have to be responsible for the people of Shenzhou City! So I consulted with the others to find you a good teacher with political experience to teach you well. In order to facilitate your education in the future, Mr. Yang will live with you in the command army in the future. ”

The more Yue Xiaofei listened, the more frightened he became, it seemed that his free days were only coming to an end. But looking back, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and I'll talk about it later, so I calmed down my mood again.

The whole army rested in Jiaxing for another day, and sent the old and weak women and children in the surrendered army and the Taihu Righteous Army to Pinghu, where it is now the advance base of the Shenzhou Army.

After dinner, the generals packed up their jokes and gathered in the command car to listen to Yue Xiaofei and Murong Zhuo discuss further arrangements for the afternoon. Since Murong Zhuo has become the chief of staff, this arrangement will fall on his shoulders in the future.

"First of all, the Taihu Volunteer Army and friendly forces are temporarily attached to two Marine Corps, the Second Marine Regiment and the attached Taihu Volunteer Army are under the command of Shi Lang, starting at 7 o'clock this night, with the armored battalion as the vanguard to quickly approach Hangzhou, and establish a defensive line, which will be completed before noon tomorrow, and the 1st Marine Regiment will lead the 2nd Marine Regiment to advance in the direction of Hangzhou, cleaning up the small towns along the way to ensure the safety of the communication line.

After entering the city, it was necessary to make a big noise, and the artillery unit carried out an artillery bombardment of the city wall in the afternoon, focusing on destroying the fortifications on the city wall.

Due to the weak ability of the Qing army to fight at night, we expect to launch a surprise attack on the city of Hangzhou at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning, that is, on March 12, the 'Shenzhou calendar'. First of all, the artillery fire was concentrated to cover the city gate and the city gate tower, and then the chariots took the lead, and the cavalry and the infantry of the rebel Ming army launched an attack together.

The chariot should be equipped with ladders and pontoon boats for the rangers' attack, and quickly build pontoon bridges in the moat to ensure that the chariots and rangers cross the river, and the artillery should cover the bridge-building troops as much as possible at this time, and once they break into the city of Hangzhou, the 1st Marine Regiment led by Xu Liejun should sweep the city wall with two battalions of rangers, seize the five water gates as soon as possible, let the barracuda-class boats on standby in the Qiantang River enter, and block the bridges on the rivers in Hangzhou. The tank battalion reinforced two reconnaissance companies rushed to the place where military supplies were piled up on the north shore of the West Lake as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from sabotage.

The 2nd Marine Regiment led by Shi Lang divided the tanks into platoons and patrolled back and forth along the avenue outside the divided block. All the rebels and Ming troops will be divided into the remaining three battalions of the 2nd Marine Regiment, and they will form assault teams in platoons and clean up all the buildings house by house, which will gradually compress the area of activity of the Qing troops in the city, and finally force them to withdraw from the city or be defeated by the cluster fire of rocket artillery that we compress in a corner of the city.

Finally, after the whole army entered the city and completed the occupation of the enemy's material accumulation field, the enemy was cleared, of course, it was estimated that the remnants of the enemy may have fled, and the south of the city was attacked by the Ming army Dingxi Zhang Mingzhen and Shen Tingyang, the left servant of the Zhejiang Zhishui Division, and each department paid attention to distinguishing the Ming army flag to prevent accidental injury. After the troops completed the clearance, they withdrew from the north and west of the city respectively, and established a defensive line to wait for the Ming army brigade to take over. ”

"Let me say it again, the specific tactical arrangements, signals, and passwords will be noted in tomorrow's combat mission book, pay attention to confidentiality, from now on, no one is allowed to leave Jiaxing City for any reason, until the start of this operation, understand?"

Shi Lang couldn't believe it, he saw Jiang Yong's figure in the queue, wasn't he killed in battle when he was ambushed! How did he end up here? He was puzzled: "Could it be that he is also ranked in the Shenzhou Army by the emperor?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Yong almost ignored him, Shi Lang had a question in his heart, "He pretended not to know me, did he do it on purpose!" With this thought, he didn't come forward to talk.
