The peaceful days have only been three months.

got the news of Ma Zhongying's comeback.

It turned out that Ma Zhongying's troops fled south in defeat, climbed over the ice slab, and did not continue to retreat south.

Instead, the troops were stationed in Turpan to rest.

Regarding the defeat of the westward advance, Ma Zhongying was unwilling.

He rested and replenished his men, mobilized some of the troops on the front line of Hami, and once again went north to the ice board and directly took Fuyuan City.

The old town will inevitably be baptized by war in the end.

Last time, the horse bandits were defeated and immediately came to the city.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were ready to defend the city to the death.

Although because of County Magistrate Liu and Xiangzi, he sacrificed his life to escape the catastrophe.

It can be regarded as a drill of actual combat.

Therefore, this time I heard that Ma Zhongying was making a comeback, and the whole city was not as tense as last time, and everything seemed to be in order.

The sky had just turned white, and Daystar was still blinking.

Ma Zhongying took the brigade commander of the army, Dong Chengfu and the battalion commander Chen Qingyu, and quietly came, six or seven miles away from the city, and set up camp.

Dong Chen and the others said to Ma Zhongying: "I heard that since Liu Yinglin became the magistrate of Yi County, he has sent people to dig up the moat a lot for years.

Before the siege, we need to prepare some straw bales, fill the moat first, and then launch a general attack. ”

Ma Zhongying said disappreciatively: "Fuyuan City, which is the size of a hammer, still needs to be so troublesome.

I have let people step on it, the moat in the south and west of the city is wide, and the north and east of the city are narrow.

My soldiers, a jumper, cross the river.

Now, let the dolls sleep well, slaughter cattle and sheep in the afternoon, eat a good meal, and attack the city at night.

Early tomorrow morning, we drank oil tea in Fuyuan City. ”

said "haha" and smiled, as if Fuyuan City had stepped under his feet.

After being silent for a while, Chen Qingyu smiled at Ma Zhongying as if flattering: "Otherwise, I will write a letter to County Magistrate Liu to persuade him to open the door and surrender."

With the tiger power of Commander Ma, he also has to weigh it. ”

Ma Zhongying, with an impatient look, said: This little, you just watch it! Based on the stiff way you had with him last time, I think it was in vain. ”

As he spoke, he and his clothes fell on the kang.

Chen Qingyu wanted to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, but he still didn't give up.

wrote a letter of persuasion to the county magistrate Liu.

It is said that as long as the county magistrate Liu gives up resistance, opens the city gate, and welcomes Commander Ma's men and horses into the city.

Commander Ma promised that Qiu would not commit any crime and would not interfere in the affairs of the city.

County Magistrate Liu read the letter and said with a face full of indignation: "It's not the first time I've dealt with Ma Zhongying, his troops say it's the national army, but it's actually no different from bandits.

Moreover, Ma Zhongying himself is capricious, believe his words, you can make mistakes every year, and don't pee on him! ”

As he spoke, he pulled the pen and paper and said to himself: "Come and have no contact, it is rude."

Let's reply to him and count a few words from him. ”

After writing the letter, County Magistrate Liu asked, "Is the person who delivered the letter gone?" ”

Staff Officer Zhang hurriedly said: "The letter will be delivered to the city gate. ”

County Magistrate Liu pondered for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Secretary Jia: "Lei Shengyou!" Quickly find Lei Shengyou. ”

After a while, Secretary Jia walked in with a short and fat man with a bare head.

County Magistrate Liu smiled at Lei Shengyou and said, "Let you go outside the city and meet your old acquaintance Chen Qingyu, do you dare to go?" ”

Lei Shengyou paused for a moment, and muttered as if talking to himself: "Why is this product coming from?" ”

Seeing his blank look, County Magistrate Liu smiled at him and said, "He is now Ma Zhongying's battalion commander, and he sent me a letter of persuasion just now."

No, I'm writing a reply to ask you to send it over.

I don't know if you dare to meet him. ”

Lei Shengyou hesitated slightly, and suddenly slapped the table and said, "Huh! Why don't you dare? Dogs still owe me money. ”

County Magistrate Liu gently patted him on the shoulder, and said with a straight face: "I think it's okay to think about money."

All you have to do is deliver the letter, and try to provoke him as much as you can. ”

The sun was just in the west, and Lei Shengyou came to Liushuhezi.

Before he could enter the village, he was intercepted by the sentry.

I heard that I was looking for Camp Chief Chen, so I blindfolded him with a black cloth and brought him over.

Chen Qingyu was more enthusiastic than he imagined, he hurriedly glanced at the letter, and scolded with a gloomy face: "This is a desperate account! I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin.

doesn't pee and pee, just rely on him, can he stop Commander Ga? ”

As he spoke, he crumpled the letter and threw it on the ground.

Turning his head, Wen smiled and said to Lei Shengyou: "I know that Brother Lei is a person who knows the times, and he will not be sent to death in vain with the surname Liu." ”

Seeing that Lei Sheng was smiling and not squeaking, he smiled slyly at him and said, "How many people are there in the city, surnamed Liu is so skinny?" ”

Lei Shengyou smiled slightly embarrassed.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I'll tell you the truth!" There were not many men and horses defending the city, and the regular army said that it was a regiment, but in fact, there were only about 2,000 people.

The militia hunters are added together, and there are only a thousand people.

The rest are all young adults in the city, about eight or nine hundred people.

The county magistrate Liu asked them to go up to the city wall, mainly responsible for carrying the cannons. ”

Chen Qingyu said with a blushing face: "Cannon? Where did he get the guns? ”

Lei Shengyou said hesitantly: "I heard that it was left by the Russians, and it has never appeared in the county treasury."

This time, I heard that there were a lot of people coming, so County Magistrate Liu asked people to pull out all the cannons.

On that day, I passed through the square, good fellow, and a dozen miles long. ”

When Chen Qingyu heard this, he said with a little uneasiness: "If you speak, you are going to attack the city, will you go back?" ”

Lei Shengyou smiled helplessly and said, "A big family, why don't you go back?"

There are brothers you covering, the city is broken, you can take me to the ground. ”

Chen Qingyu said with a dark face: "Then you can come and leave quickly!" See you in town. ”

Lei Shengyou returned to the city, and the sun was already slanting on the roof.

He learned what he said to Chen Qingyu.

The whole room was full of laughter.

It stirred up the tense atmosphere.

County Magistrate Liu smiled at him and said, "A few of us, just count you ghosts." ”

As he spoke, he said to everyone: "The horse bandits are not scared to retreat, they must be treated solemnly, and they must not be careless in the slightest." ”

The sky was just dawning, and the moon rising late dyed the earth a blurry silver white.

The diligent birds have tried to chirp.

In the originally quiet town, I don't know whose dog was the first to bark for a while.

It infected the dogs all over the city, and let out a chorus of echoes one after another.

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted: "There is movement under the city!" ”

The soldiers and civilians defending the city immediately became nervous.

The bolt rattled.
