The artillery bombarded the city gate, which frightened the defenders of Jinling County.

The county commander and the county lieutenant personally led the troops to fight hand-to-hand with the white-shirted soldiers at the gate of the city, and more county soldiers began to break up and flee to the city.

There were more than 3,000 new and old soldiers, and less than half of them were really blocking the city gate to resist.

When Qiu Wei led people to block the city gate and slash twice, the remaining county soldiers either broke up or surrendered, and less than 100 people insisted on resisting.

Both sides have the idea of "catching the thief and capturing the king first".

As a result, after two rounds of fighting, the lieutenant of Jinling County was killed by an arrow, the magistrate of Jinling County was seriously injured, and the besieger Qiu Wei was also stabbed in the shoulder, and several people were killed and wounded by the guards around him.

It only took two quarters of an hour to decide the winner.

Qiu Wei's half of his body was bloody, and his face was more resolute.

Between life and death, there is great fear, and there is also great fearlessness.

Jin Ling, knocked down.

He didn't disgrace his uncle, and the Green Snake Army had real military might today.

He immediately arranged manpower to report the victory in the direction of Yixing.

The victory or defeat outside Jinling City here dared to be realized, and Hou Xiaoming, who was twenty miles away, also got accurate news, and thousands of soldiers and horses drove overnight to Yixing City to join Huo Bao.

came out of Changzhou, and everyone was also looking forward to making military achievements.

……

Outside the city of Yixing, the Chuzhou military camp.

Brightly lit.

In the Chinese army's account, more than 1,000 generals gathered.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, good news came from the direction of Changzhou Mansion.

The Chuzhou army has captured Fucheng, and the army will rest in Fucheng, and Deng Jian has already sent Jin Cuo and An Yong to Wuxi in the afternoon.

Time is running out for Hobb.

When Jin Cuo and An Yong take Wuxi, the Chuzhou army will go to Suzhou Mansion.

"Bao Ye, you can't just wait and attack the city directly, right?"

Stone three ways.

If the Chuzhou army is pulled out, the boy army will fall behind step by step, step by step, and the battle will not be fought.

Li Yuan objected: "I have shot a letter of persuasion to enter the city, and I have to wait for a day." ”

Zhu Qiang also said: "It's going to be fought, it's okay to wait for half a day, the Jinling side should be fighting, and Brother Hou and they should also come up." ”

Huo Bao nodded and said: "Rest early tonight, feint tomorrow, if you don't surrender, attack the city tomorrow night." ”

Everyone received the order in unison, and dispersed to settle without mentioning it.

It's just that the army is outside, and there is little to be careful and careful, everyone is lying in clothes, and hundreds of patrolmen are arranged in three shifts outside.

The Chuzhou army outside the city is stable, and the Yixing city is worried.

The county lieutenant of Yixing thinks about war, but what can be said is also a battle to defend the city, not to go out of the city for field battles.

Yixing County Cheng is beard is about to be twisted.

Spank!

It's refreshing when you play, but what should I do when I'm done?

The Yixing county order is a liuguan, at most it is a life, and they, the locals, can't lose a life, and it is the moment to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

He knew that the county did not dare to take the responsibility of losing the land, so he went directly to find the county lieutenant: "Brother Huang, do you really want a morality to go black?" ”

The county lieutenant frowned and said, "You can't fight or fight, isn't that something to look down on?" ”

"Underestimated?"

Xiancheng only felt a toothache: "If you want people to look up, you also want to see who the coach is this time?" If the coach is King Deng Yan, it is better to be underestimated. ”

It's really looked down upon, so is there still life?

Not to mention fighting other places, even fighting Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, the local officials killed by King Deng Yan were also one or two.

The county lieutenant frowned and said, "It's not the word Deng on the flag outside." ”

The battle flag of the child soldier is a wolf's head, and there is no name on it, which looks unfamiliar.

The county said: "Xu is a partial army under King Deng Yan. ”

Since the conquest, the Chuzhou army has not slaughtered the city, but it is not soft on the officials who resist.

Starting from the Chuzhou Prefecture, wherever there was resistance, all the officials were killed. Especially Deng Jian, a group of people, will implement this article to the end.

Because of this, it also made the officials in the places where the Chuzhou army went frightened.

Not everyone can sacrifice their lives for righteousness and face life and death.

The county lieutenant of Yixing was silent.

He was the main battle, but he didn't think about the funeral of Yixing County.

Now that the imperial court is weak and the place is erosive, how many state capitals are under the rule of the imperial court in the entire Jiangnan and Jiangbei?

It's more because I'm afraid of being underestimated, and I want to fight again and say anything else.

Yixing County seeks stability and refuses to accompany the county lieutenant to take risks.

Who knows what kind of temper the lord outside the city is, if the battle starts, the other party will kill to the end, and it will not be wrong if you don't give you a chance to talk again.

"The persuasion letter was shot into the city gate at the beginning of Youchu, saying that it was given twelve hours, Brother Huang think about it!"

The county man said what he should have said, and he went out of the city gatehouse.

If, after twelve hours, the county lieutenant is still obsessed, then he will not be able to watch.

……

Early the next morning, with the good news of Jinling County, Hou Xiaoming led 5,000 people to rush over.

Huo Bao and others are not surprised.

On the city wall of Yixing, the faces of the magistrates and county officials were even more ugly.

The logistics supply of the Chuzhou army is good, and the military tent is based on what is the unit, before Huo Bao brought the 8,000 people they brought yesterday, the military tent is more than 800, which looks boundless, as if tens of thousands of horses are stationed.

Now there are 6,000 people and horses, and the view from a distance is boundless, and there are people along the official road.

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, why did the Chuzhou army come to reinforcements?" The magistrate was puzzled.

"Not reinforcements...... They came from the west, and the Jinling fell! ”

The county lieutenant said with a dark face.

“……”

“……”

By noon, there were soldiers and horses on the official road to the west.

It was Qiu Wei who divided 3,000 troops to fight Yixing with Huo Bao.

This road of soldiers and horses became the last straw that crushed the Yixing defenders.

Among the thousands of Yixing County soldiers, there are less than 1,000 veterans, and the rest are all newcomers who are not useful.

As early as when the Chuzhou army came to the city, everyone was mostly panicked, and the soldiers and horses gathered all the way through, and everyone's last bit of courage was dispersed.

No one thinks they can hold Yixing.

It is the difference between breaking the city early and breaking the city late, and the difference between dying early and dying late.

At the time of Shen Zheng, the Yixing county order hanged itself, the city gate opened, and the county magistrate and the county lieutenant held the county commander to seal the surrender......

Yixing City has changed the world.

The White Shirts entered the city.

Of the 3,700 county soldiers, 2,800 county soldiers under the age of 45 were directly recruited and reorganized into a new barracks, and several hundred people under the age of 20 were temporarily organized into a team.

Two thousand child soldiers were re-allocated to Yixing for the time being.

"Don't dare to fight, there is no egg!"

Tossed in vain, didn't catch the battle, Shi San was indignant.

Zhu Qiang said: "What's the hurry, wait until Suzhou is still less fighting?" ”

The main battlefield of this expedition was in Suzhou, and tens of thousands of defenders of the eastern province south of the Yangtze River were not joking.

Wu Yuan was excited.

Huo Bao put him in charge of the prisoners, whether it was the recruit battalion or the youth battalion, he was in charge.

Among them, the youth battalion under the age of 20 should be prepared for the reorganization of the right wing of the child soldiers.

Although there are not many people at the moment, when the three prefectures of Changzhou, Suzhou, and Songjiang are all finished, the soldiers and horses of the youth battalion should be almost together.

It's just that he understands in his heart that a team can't be supported by only soldiers, and there must be a backbone in it.

Thinking of this, he looked at Hou Xiaoming and Shi San, but he didn't worry about short-term people.

As long as there is a war, there must be a war merit.

When the middle and low-level officers and soldiers of Hou Xiaoming and Shi San rose up, they had to transfer their men to the right wing.

It is not easy to take over a county seat, in addition to the city defense, there is also the county yamen.

Yixing Zhixian hanged himself, and the most suitable replacement for him was the county Cheng who surrendered.

However, in order to prevent repetition, it is not possible to hand over all the rights.

In the end, Li Yuan stayed in Yixing, the county assistant, but the Yixing county lieutenant who had previously held the military power was transferred and went to the Changzhou capital to standby.

Yixing County Cheng already knew the identity of the main general, the son of Huo Taiwei, and he was very happy in his heart.

No wonder there is a steady stream of people, how can such a character be able to compete with a small county town in Yixing?

Fortunately, he couldn't help but be ready to move, not because he wanted to repeat what would happen, but because he wanted to intercede for the detained family members of the magistrate.

It's just a matter of words.

It may be a risk, or it may be a benefit.

People are old and sophisticated, and they are scholars, so they know that their subordinates are not good.

Thinking about the traditional style of the Chuzhou army, the county decided to take a gamble.
