Wu Neng actually told Zhang Yingquan about the situation he had detected, and agreed that the whole team would immediately enter the city, report the situation, and assist in defending the city.

This time, Zhang Yingquan and Xiao Changmao also joined, stating that they listened to the command of the Wu leader, but Wu Neng opposed it at first, not because of the problem of command, but because of safety, but because of the insistence of the big shopkeeper, he could only follow. The rest of the supplies will be taken care of by Roar Six.

Zhang Yingquan can ride a horse, Zhan family goods walking dart was born, whether it is an apprentice or an internship, horseback riding is a due skill. Xiao Changmao has been with the army for many years, and has passed orders and delivered pieces in the Taiping Army, and is also a master of horsemanship.

A team of fifty-three horsemen rushed to Quzhou City, the sound of horses' hooves, fluttering cloaks, and the envy of a group of unkempt defenders of the city.

The big tent of joining the army called Zhang Jiang and the military sergeant to enter the account to discuss matters, and learned that Zhang Yingquan also had the identity of a six-grade civil official, Tang David immediately put away his official authority and walked to the front of the tent.

"Lord Zhang, disrespectful!"

"This official is late, rude! Faux pas! ”

"You might as well cut off the long-haired grain road, the martial arts leader is the first merit, and the detective long-haired camp is even braver, and the name of the volunteer group is well deserved."

"This is all an afterthought, there is not much time, and resisting the enemy is the first."

"Okay, come on!"

"In!" A thousand always stepped forward.

"From now on, the whole city will be under martial law, and the ............ will be investigated."

In the past few days, there has been no movement in the long-haired camp, and the more there is no movement, the more uneasy the people are.

On the night when Longhair retired and returned to the camp, there was a camp roar in the Yongzi Battalion, and it even affected the flag camp, and I don't know who shouted in a dream, "Longhair is here!" "As a result, there were countless wounded, and the officers and soldiers had become frightened birds.

There is also an incident of 'gong accidentally rolling down' in Xicheng District, which was mistakenly thought to be a warning of the gong, alarming half of the city's old and young, which shows that the people have lost confidence in the city defense.

There must be demons in the abnormal, rendered and amplified for no reason, becoming more and more mysterious and terrifying, and when there is a stir, can it cause riots?

Yesterday, someone shouted "Shuntian!" at the entrance of the city! The slogan instigated the people to kill the demons, welcome the king, and worship the kingdom of heaven. The government is busy, but I don't see it, and I don't care about scabies.

Now he will send an order to the big tent to arrest the people who gather for the assembly, especially the long-haired spies who call 'Shuntian' and 'Yingtian', as well as the nonsensical people who 'put a few inches of yellow cloth on the placket of their clothes'.

For a while, Quzhou City was full of rumors, black smoke and miasma, don't you say, in just one hour, I caught a lot of anti-bones, as soon as the hall passed, the officials and adults were scared out of a cold sweat, these people have betrayed their ancestors, and they were completely confused by the long hair Gu and broke their minds, they were not saved, and they were decided! Marvel at the general's clear investigation and save the people from fire and water.

At night, the more eerie the atmosphere becomes.

The long-haired military camp is close to the west gate, and the west gate is the most heavily guarded, and a group of displaced people still gather under the city, claiming to help the government guard the city, and do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.

The east gate of the city also gathered a group of displaced people, entangled with the officers and soldiers, and wanted to leave the city. Everywhere the wind is released, saying that according to reliable information, Changmao will attack the city tonight, and the wind and clouds outside the city will be divided, and the wind will spread the clouds: Quzhou soldiers are fierce, and when the moon is bright, Ji Shao. In the evening, the sky is clear, and there is a moon at night, that is, tonight is more auspicious!

Disturbed, during the second watch, there were gongs, there were screams, the number of displaced people on the street increased, and gradually flowed to the east city, like flowing water, could not stop, it was rumored that the east gate had been opened, and the people were allowed to take refuge in the city, one passed ten, ten passed hundred, believed, did not believe, anyway, there was no sleep, whether something happened tonight, does it matter? Rather believe it! It's the group effect, and there's no reason not to believe it when you're in it. Danger is coming, run for your life! Then it expanded, and spread to the whole city, and the barracks were also affected.

At dawn, the general who had not slept all night listened to the report, there were only more than 2,000 people left in the Yongzi battalion, and the green battalion performed well under the jurisdiction of the general's personal soldiers, and there were more than 3,000 people left, and the flag camp was nowhere to be found, leaving a place of ordnance, and the door was full of birds, and overnight, nearly half of the soldiers were lost without swords and arrows, which was incredible!

In the middle of the city, there are countless mobs, fighting with open fire, fighting, smashing, and robbing!

"Qiying guards the east gate, how is the situation?"

"The door is open! The other gates are still under control. ”

"Quick, deploy the Yongzi battalion and guard the east gate."

"Huh!"

This is obviously someone secretly causing trouble, and the effect is too unexpected, right? Unexpectedly, the long hair outside the city didn't have time to cooperate.

"Report to the general, the government is surrounded by mobs!"

"Got it!"

"Report to the general, the treasury is besieged by mobs!"

"Got it!"

"Report to the general, the prefect's family members were humiliated by the mob, ask for help!"

"Die!"

"Report to the general, a mob shouted at Simon, 'Ying Tian!' ”

"No mercy!"

“…………。”

"Report to the general, there are more than 10,000 long-haired troops, coming to the West Gate!"

This is terrible, the building will collapse, and no human can save it.

"Who's going to strengthen Simon?"

"My lord, the Volunteers go!" Wu Neng didn't want to stay here anymore, he would go crazy.

"Great! Command your subordinates to ............. ”

Without waiting for General Tang's order to be complete, Wu Neng turned around and left, leaving behind his bold words: "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat!" ”

A group of generals and colonels couldn't cry or laugh.

The 53 cavalry of the Volunteer Regiment rushed to the west gate, the officers and soldiers and the mob inside the gate were beating in groups, the officers and soldiers were few, but the weapons were sharp, and the mob only held wooden sticks, stalemate!

The city gate has been half opened, and it is possible that the officers and soldiers rushed down the gatehouse and strengthened their strength to force back the mob, and I don't know who shouted: "Shuntian! ”。

"Yingtian! Ying Tian! "The earth-shattering price sounds, look closely at the 'few inches of yellow cloth in the placket', there are more than 200 people, all with a local accent in Quzhou, full of nonsense, not sure what benefits the Taiping Army promised, open the treasury, all the clouds and clouds that are requested, confusing their minds. Yesterday's clean-up operation was still too late, and it was not cleaned, and there are so many people? No one believes that these people can achieve things, and in all big and small events, there are such people, just stepping stones.

"Bang!" Zhang Yingquan fired a gun into the sky and suppressed both sides.

"The treasury has been breached, what are you still making trouble about?"

"Ahh

"Big heads, they ate alone?"

"Buzz......!" The displaced people rushed in the direction of the government in a blink of an eye, and they were overwhelming. What kingdom of heaven and heavenly Father have nothing to do with themselves, who will go to 'Yingtian' if they have no money? But they don't know that it's too late at the moment, the treasury is like washing, there is no money in the first place, but the prefect's mansion is relatively fat, and it has been brushed clean in an instant, and the concubines have been turned, and then it is the turn of the big family, no longer stupid, the first to strike.

"It worked! I wonder if they're coming back? "Wu Neng is funny, is this okay? A bunch of nonsense can't resist the word 'money' after all.

"What are you doing back? The purpose is to divide the treasury money, don't expect that the long hair will have additional rewards, and the people are also poor. ”

"You two, first hide the horses of the whole team in the opposite inn, and the others will go upstairs."

Xiang Yong on the gatehouse saw that someone took over, and ran away in the blink of an eye, and no one cared about the city gate half-hidden.

In the clairvoyant mirror, the long-haired brigade was all dispatched, mighty, about a mile away from the city, the formation was neat, not in a hurry, there was no artillery in the team, Wu Neng actually pouted, thinking: The two cars of explosives went off, the artillery was useless, the delay was small, the loss was really not small, Quzhou City before dawn was as fragile as window paper, you waited but didn't catch up.

The long-haired brigade gradually approached, and the left and right sides of each 3,000 troops, rushed to the north and south gates, mainly about 10,000 troops to attack the west gate undoubtedly, a hundred steps away from the moat, stop the whole team, according to the battlefield experience, this is a safe distance, even if the musket also let out a hundred and five steps away, unless the cannon, according to the report Quzhou Qing Demon has no cannon.

The moat was within a hundred paces of the city walls, which was the standard design, the so-called one arrow land, and now the long-haired soldiers had retreated to the land of two arrows, but they did not know that they were still within the range of the breech guns of the Volunteers. The Volunteer Regiment has developed the habit of not firing without an order, and there is no need to remind it, everyone knows that firing at this time is undoubtedly a reminder to Changmao to stay away, and there is no need to startle the snake.

On the moat in front of the city gate, there are two stone bridges, one of which has collapsed, the other is intact, the width of the bridge can be parallel to three ox carts, arrange ten muskets to block it, if you don't fill the moat, no matter how many people you want to get close to the city wall safely.

The rest of the people are spread out, and the area is covered to ensure that the long hairs are not allowed to get on the sides within a distance of 200 paces to the left and right of the city gate, and when the throwing distance is not reached, or when the enemy density is not large, grenades are not used.

He also instructed Xiao Changmao to specialize in sniping, this word was still learned from Zhang Yingquan, which is appropriate, and the task is to fight the leader.

The wind was strong, and 10,000 people stomped their feet and shouted in unison: "Shuntian!" Suncheon! ”

Is this giving the rebels a password? The momentum is not weak!

Fan Rujie set up a command platform at a distance of four or five hundred steps from the city wall and planted a large flag.

I thought that today's siege hand was pinched, and in three days, a three-layer auxiliary attack strategy was paved, but if one is implemented, it will be famous:

First, the cannon, the test results made him satisfied, much better than the original three cannons that fell into the water, full of confidence. However, before dawn, when the brigade "boomed" two loud noises before traveling, the front of the camp was in a mess, fortunately he was far away from the gun truck, otherwise he would have been martyred, the cannon was not broken, who did not carelessly lit the gunpowder, even the old road also drove to the west, and was busy for three days in vain.

Second, the planned chaos of the night, at dawn to invade the door and enter the house, was delayed by two loud noises. It can be said that you should get up early in the morning and catch a late meeting!

Third, counting on the response personnel in the city, there is no response from 'Yingtian' now.

Fan Rujie had a premonition that everything was not going well, and the original strategy was to bombard the city gate or the inside, and take a little bit, but he didn't prepare a ladder at all, and now he can only bite the bullet.

But there is a strange phenomenon, the west gate is half hidden, and no one enters or exits, is this a door for you? Isn't this disgusting? Isn't it learning from Zhuge Liang to sing the empty city plan?

The brigade attacked, and it was impossible to sneak around, so the attack was tried first, and the flag was waved, and a brigade of men and horses, with shields, formed a gang of five, formed a formation of 100 people, and formed a brigade of 500 people, pointing to the half-covered city gate.

"Bang bang bang ......!" The gunshots rang out, and before they could step onto the stone bridge, the five people in front fell to the ground, the shields and arrows fell to the ground, and the soldiers behind jumped the grid and rushed forward.

"Bang bang bang ......!" Frying beans endlessly, something was wrong, the muskets were not volleys, but dense, continuous, there was no smoke, there was no movement of reloading, only half of the head was seen aiming and shooting. Judging by the density, there are at least thirty guns, otherwise there is no movement and continuity, and there are still heads moving on both sides, and no shots are fired, and there are 100 people and 100 muskets on this city tower. With such a way of adding oil and vinegar, everyone has to lose it, and they can't touch the wall, no!

"Retreat!" Fan Rujie decisively ordered the end of the tentative attack, and saw that in front of the stone bridge and on the stone bridge, there were thirty or forty corpses lying on them, so he blinked his eyes, this Qing Demon's musket is really powerful, no wonder our cavalry team and grain transportation team have been repeatedly frustrated.

"Bang! Bang! "There are still cold guns, soldiers close to the moat were shot, several of them were brigade commanders and pawn commanders, and they were shot when they came close to observe, which was too hateful.
