Street fighting seems to be easier than attacking the city, but in fact, when the Ming army was ready early in the morning, the situation faced by the third army of the Hongtang army was more difficult than before.

After all, it was the home of the Ming Dynasty army, and after absorbing the experience of countless cities in the north that collapsed and finally sank under the sharp firearms of the Hongtang army, the Ming Dynasty army gradually summed up some tactics of urban warfare.

Advancing all the way, the loss of the officers and men of the third army of Hongtang could not be avoided, of course, the losses of the Ming army were more, but due to the reasonable deployment of the Ming army in important strongholds, and the counterattack from time to time, in the case that the Hongtang army only took three days to open the hard city wall of Jinan City, Jinan City was a wide urban area, but the Hongtang army fought for seven consecutive days, and failed to completely occupy it.

"Where have the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty arrived?"

In the past few days, Kong Youde and Puliqi have begun to have a sense of crisis.

"It has passed the border of Anhui, and now it has fallen to the Linyi area, and it is about six days away from our Jinan Mansion at most."

Zheng Zeshi, the person in charge of the aircraft department, replied in a deep voice.

"Six days!"

Kong Youde thought in his heart: "How long will it take for us to completely take Jinan Mansion?" ”

"As of today's daytime, our army has occupied more than eighty percent of the territory of Jinan Mansion, and now only the southeast corner is still resisting the Ming Dynasty army!"

"In two days at most, our army will be able to completely occupy Jinan Mansion."

Zheng Zeshi continued to reply: "According to the report of the scouts outside our city, it is very likely that Gong Jilan, the governor of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, will go out of the city in today's rout!" ”

"So what are you waiting for? Send someone to catch it, what a pity if such a big fish let him escape! ”

Kong Youde's eyes widened, and he slapped the table and shouted.

"Someone has already followed!"

Zheng Zeshi responded.

"There is not much time left for us, tomorrow! Tomorrow, I want to see the results of the complete occupation of Jinan Mansion! ”

Kong Youde was not too satisfied with Zheng Zeshi's answer, and after thinking about it, he gave a tough order.

"Yes, the subordinates will pass it on!"

Pu Liqi also agreed with Kong Youde's judgment that the Hongtang army had lost more than 15,000 people in Jinan Mansion in a surprise attack so far, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers still needed to deal with nearly 100,000 Ming Dynasty troops, and the pressure and risks they were under were self-evident.

Of course, the Hongtang army is not without gains, after a big war, they incorporated more than 30,000 people from the Ming Dynasty and the people of Jinan Mansion, and after Jinan Mansion is completely occupied, it should not be too much of a problem to recruit 10,000 or 20,000 people from it.

This is the greatest support that Hongtang's army received from the base camp at the beginning of the war, and it is also their greatest reliance.

Raising war with war, this is Li Tianyang's vague memory that the Qing people finally relied on millions of Jurchen population, but they were able to win the weight of the world in the end

to means; This is also an important reason why Li Tianyang decided to do it to the most powerful Qing people at that time, instead of picking soft persimmons first.

However, it also takes time to implement the integration of the army, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty may still have some tactical ability, but ordinary people are conscripted into the army, and they really want to go to the battlefield, if there is no basic training, I am afraid that it will become a part of the army's combat effectiveness.

More than 50 miles south of Jinan, Gong Jilan, a Ming Dynasty feudal official who had changed into civilian clothes, was accompanied by several henchmen and generals, and dozens of personal guards, with a tired face, stopped in an abandoned mountain temple.

The bonfire rose slowly, and in order to prevent the bonfire from being exposed at night, several guards also sealed the dilapidated gate of the mountain temple, which also made everyone feel somewhat relieved.

Gong Jilan, who thought he had a bit of a backbone and vowed to live and die with Jinan Mansion, really faced the encirclement and suppression of the Hongtang army, and when he was about to fail, he couldn't help but retreat.

"We didn't keep up with the tail, did we?"

With the red bonfire, Gong Jilan's face still looked a little pale, and she couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have set up eyeliner in the temple EAI, and they have been investigating for a long time, but they have not found any trace of the enemy."

Bai Guangen, the chief soldier, bowed and replied.

In order not to attract the attention of the Hongtang army, and at the same time to avoid being discovered by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty army soldiers in the city, the fact that the commander had fled, Gong Jilan and his party, who were mixed in the group of displaced people, did not bring out too many guards, and even the war horses outside the temple were prepared by Bai Guangen in advance.

"Hey!"

Gong Jilan was a little relieved: "It's me who underestimated the strength of Hongtang's army, but I didn't expect their combat strength to far exceed the intelligence we gathered." ”

"My lord, our generals are also responsible, no one could have imagined that the firepower of the Hongtang army would be turned upside down after the support of the Hongtang fleet!"

Although Ai Zhenxiong is unwilling, he can only admit the facts.

Indeed, if it was only the field artillery regiment in the Hongmen army, it would certainly be stronger than the artillery fire of the Ming army, but compared with the ferocity of the artillery after the Hongtang Naval Division joined before, the comparison of the Hongmen firepower that they had been in contact with and understood was completely different.

“…………”

When there was silence, everyone was playing Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, thinking about what choice they would make next, although the reinforcements were already on the way, and they were unwilling, but after experiencing the Jinan City War, at least everyone had a rough understanding in their hearts, that is, within the coverage of the artillery fire of the Hongtang Navy Division's fleet, their Ming Dynasty army wanted to defeat the enemy, and the price needed was extremely high.

At the same time, in the hills behind the dilapidated mountain temple shrouded in darkness, a series of vigorous figures are slowly approaching the mountain temple.

"Goo! Cuckoo! ”

The vivid cries of reptilian beasts were transmitted from where these figures were, revealing information that others could not perceive.

"There are two dark whistles on the left and one on the right in front of the temple, with a total of four people; Ten zhang behind the temple, there are also two secret whistles and four people. ”

bsp; More than a hundred zhang away from the mountain temple, several figures were prostrate on the ground, almost no movement, only a small voice slowly spoke, but it did not reveal any abnormal movement in their hiding place.

“…… There are also four guards guarding the door, and the defense arrangement inside the door cannot be detected for the time being......"

Suddenly, the prostrate figure with his head bowed suddenly raised his head, and a pair of dark eyes were as dazzling as an eagle falcon under the dim light of the moon in the sky, but it was Yao Wenzhong's special combat team members who had infiltrated Jinan Mansion to investigate and sabotage before.

In the previous battle of Jinan Mansion, Yao Wenzhong and several other teams of special combat personnel lurking into the city found out the information of many houses in the city for the Hongtang Third Army, and also carried out more than ten assassinations against middle-level Ming army generals in the shadows, disrupting the command system of at least thousands of low-level Ming Dynasty troops.

At the same time, under the tragic battle of Jinan Mansion, the Ming Dynasty army should have destroyed their granary first when they saw that the situation was wrong, but with the help of these special combat team members, and even under their personal protection, they helped Hongtang's Third Army save more than seventy percent of the grain in Jinan Mansion.

Of course, in the operation of protecting the granary, because of the battle with the Ming Dynasty army, which far exceeded their number, the losses were also not small, and the seventy-two members of a platoon that lurked into Jinan City only lost seven members in dozens of previous operations, but in the frontal defense against the Ming army's burning and destruction of the granary, they lost nearly forty members, and most of the squad became a lonely person and had to be temporarily reorganized.

Although the members of this platoon suffered heavy losses, they did not withdraw to the rear to rest because of this, but on the contrary, after forming the remaining teams into two integrated squads, they went out again to carry out the tasks of reconnaissance and surveillance.

At the beginning of their training, the purpose of the special combat personnel was to go deep behind enemy lines, sneak attack important strongholds, or assassinate important members.

Although everyone around them has been mentally prepared for the countless partners who have been born and died together and died on the battlefield, it does not prevent them from avenging their partners with enthusiasm and looking for an outlet to vent their resentment and remorse.

So what are the goals that can be the goals of this remnant army?

The biggest one is naturally Gong Jilan, the governor of Shandong, who is still hiding in the territory and army controlled by the Ming army, and the commanders under his command.

Although the special combat team members did not find a chance to assassinate important officials of the Jinan Mansion of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten days, they observed these important members from a distance while they were lurking, which also made them remember these faces deeply.

Gong Jilan listened to Bai Guangen's suggestion, and in the evening, along with a large number of fleeing people, disguised and disguised to abscond out of the south gate of Jinan Mansion, although they brought not many troops, but a few general soldiers, deputy chief soldiers and Gong Jilan's familiar faces, the Hongtang soldiers scouts next to them may be difficult to detect, but the special combat team members who have long said that these faces are imprinted in their minds, even in the dim light of the evening, still keenly found their traces.

It's no wonder that these general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty let the governor of Gong Jilan leave his post without permission, but they could only escort Gong Jilan to evacuate together. The goal is big, as long as Qi Yunfei and his special combat team members find a familiar face, it means that several other faces that have not been discovered will also be exposed.

"Keep the word, all the team members are temporarily lurking, and wait until after three o'clock in the middle of the night to see the opportunity to act!!"

nbsp; followed Gong Jilan and his party for several hours, Yao Wenzhong was not in a hurry at this time, even if they really couldn't catch the opportunity tonight, they still had the next chance, such a few big fish in front of them, if they could be captured alive, it was more valuable than handing over a few dead corpses.

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when a person's vigilance is the lowest, and it is also the time when they are the most tired, along the way, Gong Jilan and their entourage guards are frightened and flee in a hurry, presumably they are already tired at this time, but Yao Wenzhong believes that they will be able to capture the opponent alive without alarming the possibility of the opponent is very high.

Three o'clock came quickly, and it took more than three hours for Gong Jilan and them to hurry all the way, and it took a lot of effort to finally find this abandoned mountain temple to hide, although the night of late spring in the north came quite early, but when Yao Wenzhong gave his instructions, it was only two or three hours away from three o'clock.

"Do it!"

A deep voice came from Yao Wenzhong's mouth, and then the team members who followed him learned a terrible wolf howl at night, and in a long but unobtrusive way, they sent out the order and reached the ears of the two teams of special combat personnel who had long been hidden near the dilapidated mountain temple.

“…… Heh......"

“…… Uh......"

Among the several secret sentinels, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who had been fighting hard and had not slackened at all, did not expect that under their noses, someone actually touched them, and they were so close that when the Hongtang special combat team suddenly broke out, they didn't even have time to react.

From the natural desire to survive in human nature, several Ming soldiers who dyed their hair were held in their throats, unable to breathe and sound alarms, struggling desperately, their bodies twisting strangely, trying to break free from the rock-solid throat behind them.

However, all struggles were in vain, and the slight sound of the body and the soles of the feet rubbing against the ground could not even attract the attention of the guards and soldiers at the gate of the mountain temple.

The eight Ming soldiers in the dark outpost were controlled by the Hongtang special combat team almost at the same time, and they also became incapacitated bodies for almost a while.

The brave special combat team members did not even ask for the lives of this group of opponents, but only let them directly coma, and then had the leisure to tie them tightly with the straps they carried with them, and tie their tongues to prevent them from making a sound after waking up.

The demand for adult soldiers has become a problem in the hearts of the generals of the Hongtang army, especially after the third army has lost nearly one-third of its troops after a fierce battle, which makes them care very much about every Ming Dynasty soldier and people who are captured by them alive.

Therefore, if it were not necessary, Yao Wenzhong and his group of special combat soldiers would not have slaughtered any of the prisoners who might be converted into combat exploits: presumably the combat merits brought by a corpse were about a quarter higher than the combat merits of a living Ming Dynasty soldier.

And most of the tasks of Yao Wenzhong's special operations battalion are dangerous and difficult to leave alive, and there are still very few opportunities like this, whether it is out of the contribution to the Hongtang army or the pursuit of their own merits, they can earn more meritorious deeds without endangering their own safety, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, why not do it!

The hidden dangers outside were removed, and then only the four members of the sentry in front of the door who had begun to slack off were left, and as time gradually passed, the Hongtang special combat team members also easily touched the other party's place a few feet away.
