After finding a reason that he was satisfied with, Master Luo Xu waved his hand: "Okay!" Let's fight Yancheng! ”

Liu Bao said happily: "Let's play the striker!" ”

Luo Xu nodded: "Okay, but if you can't get the military law!" ”

Liu Bao saluted: "Don't worry! When you arrive, you can drink in Yancheng County! ”

Liu Bao happily went to the whole team, Luo Xu looked at Zahela's camp, if it wasn't for the Qing army coming too quickly, he would have been harassing Zahela for two or three days Even if he didn't collapse, he would have bombed the camp, but unfortunately he didn't have time.

Liu Bao set off two hours later, and Luo Xu really had to arrange the transfer of craftsmen before he could set off, but fortunately, this matter was prepared in advance, and the scale here was not large.

These craftsmen will be transferred back to the base area to continue production, after all, there is going to be a war here, and they can't bring a lot of logistics personnel.

This village, which had just been established for more than a month, was given up again, and it was still a little reluctant.

Sure enough, Luo Xu only delayed for one more day, and news came from Linyi that a large number of Qing troops were stationed, Luo Xu calmly left with the main force, and the encirclement of the Qing army had not yet had time to tighten.

Liu Bao led the troops to walk for half a day and one night in advance, but Zaozhuang is more than 200 miles from Yancheng, and it is not possible to arrive half a day in advance.

The main force of more than 200 miles needs to arrive in four days, and Liu Bao, as a striker, needs to arrive in three days, so that he only has a day and a half to attack the city.

However, Liu Bao is still very confident in conquering Yancheng, a small county town, but two or three hundred township soldiers are not enough to fight.

Maybe the strategy is right, and even the city wall can be defeated without breaking through, which depends on whether the other party has strengthened the vigilance of the inventory.

Liu Bao led people through the countryside, day and night, avoiding villages and pedestrians, and finally came to a dense forest in Yancheng at dawn on the third day.

At this time, the city gate had not yet been opened, and the vegetable farmers and merchants who were rushing to the morning market hid in the tea sheds by the city wall and ate breakfast and waited.

Seeing this, Liu Bao touched his chin and said to the herald: "Go and call Liu Yixian to me!" ”

After a while, a man in a Taoist robe came over with a gun on his back, saw Liu Bao saluted and asked, "Commander, are you looking for me?" ”

Liu Bao nodded and pointed to the city gate and said: "See, it is estimated that the sun will open the city gate when the sun comes out, you take you to the vicinity of the city gate, and when the time comes, I will drag the other party to prevent them from closing the gate, can you do it?" ”

Liu Yixian looked at the city gate and asked, "Do you bring a musket?" It's better to give us some explosives packs. ”

Liu Bao asked disdainfully, "What's the matter?" Can't fight without firearms? Aren't all of you platoon known as martial arts masters? What's wrong? ”

Liu Yixian was silent for a moment and sighed: "No matter how high the martial arts are, you can be knocked down with one shot!" ”

Liu Bao waved his hand: "The target of this spear is too big, so let's do it, I'll give you all the short guns in the regiment, you use the short guns!" You go and prepare a gun first, and I'll have someone send it to you, all pretend to be a little bit, don't be seen through! ”

Liu Yixian nodded, took a step and turned back and asked, "Then the gun is worthy of our platoon, right?" ”

Liu Bao scolded with a smile: "You think beautifully! It's not that the officer doesn't deserve the short gun, and he wants to buy it himself! ”

Li Qingyuan's short gun is now only at the level of squad leader, but if a soldier wants to use it, he can also buy it in the workshop, and the price is only two months' military salary.

However, for most soldiers, who have not fought a few battles, they still do not understand the meaning of having an extra gun in an emergency, so there are still a few who are willing to spend their own money on a gun.

Li Qingyuan now does not have so many spare guns to ration soldiers, and instead of matching soldiers with two guns, it is better to use short guns and recruit some guerrillas, which will play a greater role.

Liu Yixian saw that he couldn't ask for it, his eyes rolled again, and he decided to get his hands on it first, as for the things in his hands that he wanted to go back? Hehe, you're thinking too much.

However, it is indeed not a simple matter for this makeup to blend into the city team, there are two or three hundred people in the city, and twenty or thirty are not the majority.

But don't forget, the people who enter the city every day in this city are the ones who are familiar with it, and most of them have seen it, although they don't necessarily know all of them, and if dozens of people mix in and don't need the city gate guards, these people can feel that there is a problem.

In the end, Liu Yixian decided to take someone to pretend to be a Taoist priest, with two Taoist boys, the others either sold horses or firewood, and some went to intercept those rushing to the city gate on the road, and bought two boxes of vegetables to pick.

Everyone is almost ready, and on the other side, the short gun that Liu Bao promised has also been sent, one person and two are divided, and the time is about the same, Liu Yixian nodded, and everyone gathered at the city gate one after another.

The people who were waiting to enter the city at the gate of the city saw that the time was almost up, and they also consciously lined up and prepared.

Until the first ray of sunlight shone on the banner of the city, the Qing army shouted and the city gate opened!

Several city gate soldiers pushed the city gate with force, the Qing army in the city stood crookedly in two rows, two soldiers came with a wooden box, and the general master paced outside the city and shouted twice to line up and went to the tea stall for breakfast, and the people began to enter the city at this time.

Empty-handed pedestrians vote two cents, vegetable farmers five cents to ten cents, the specific amount depends on the mood of the soldiers at the city gate and the value of your goods, of course, the main thing is to see the mood of the soldiers.

As for the foot merchants, it all depends on whether you understand or not, generally these foot merchants will prepare a little hanging, each hanging ten wen, and when it comes to the inventory, a few small hangs will be over.

These are all conventions, Liu Yixian these old rivers and lakes naturally know, gradually Liu Yixian saw that half of the people on his side had entered, and he was relieved, at this time, the people in front of him disliked one of them and gave less, and wanted to grab the burden and make it difficult, but as a result, he shook the burden, and a firearm fell to the ground, the soldier was stunned, and the soldier who was interrogated Liu Yixian was also stunned, and he looked back at Liu Yixian without thinking, and as a result, the Qing army also looked at Liu Yixian, and all the people looked like Liu Yixian.

Liu Yixian couldn't wait to go up and kick this stupid guy with two feet, but at this time, he had to send an arrow, Liu Yixian took out a musket from his arms and shouted at the one who was still eating breakfast at the tea stall: "Brothers, copy guys!" ”

The general manager was eating meat buns and drinking oil tea, and then his back hurt, and he heard a fire gun, and then the strength in his body was quickly lost, and he fell into the oil tea bowl in front of him.

As soon as the gun rang out, the city gate was in chaos instantly, some of the people ran to the city in fright, and some ran out of the city in fright, the Qing army also wanted to hide in the city in a hurry, Liu Yixian didn't care about the whole team gathering in the crowd, and directly dealt with the Qing army around him.

This distance is basically impossible to dodge if it is targeted, there are only more than ten Qing troops under this city gate, and they will all be reimbursed after a burst of gunfire!
