There was nothing to mobilize at night, and there was no need for the Military Council Department to think of countermeasures overnight, under the eyes of Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Liu Yunzhong, the superintendent of the army, Wang Zheng led the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion out of the city and went straight to Qiu County.

After this famous Licheng military meeting, the civil officials and generals everywhere finally calmed down slightly, and the Dengzhou camp had a move, which was always able to give themselves a reason to relax, and no one wanted to be so tense all day long.

According to the speed of the Dengzhou battalion's previous marches, the prefect of Dongchang has already asserted that reinforcements will definitely come to Dongchang Mansion in about three days.

However, it is also strange that a few days ago, the rogues under the banner of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution have not appeared since they captured Qiu County, and they have not heard of anything hurtful in Qiu County.

Many officials began to unilaterally speculate that maybe these rogues were not the famous Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo at all, or maybe it was not Ge Liyan, but in fact they were just a few thousand rogue passing by.

Thinking about it this way, the defense that was already a little lax because of the Dengzhou battalion's troops was even more slack.

On the first day of July, the governor of Linqing Prefecture, which is dozens of miles away from Qiu County, has already issued a document to lift the curfew, although the garrison has expressed opposition, but the governor has already issued an order, can what the military general say still be regarded as words?

A few days ago, a lot of refugees from Qiu County came, and they were afraid that there were rogues among them, so the Linqing garrison did not always close the city gates, and did not dare to let a person enter the city.

Early in the morning, someone shouted to open the city with the documents of the Lord Zhizhou, and the front of the door always said that he wanted to ask about the meaning of the garrison, but the people who came didn't care about these at all, saying that you listened to the Zhizhou or the garrison?

The general manager was stunned, so he had to order the gate to be opened and opened, and those refugees who looked indifferent outside should be fine if they were let in.

Hundreds of ragged refugees flocked into the city, and the Linqing soldiers on both sides looked at this scene, and some of them were still snickering, looking at these mud legs that were not even as good as dogs, or the comfort of our soldiers.

"The rogues are coming!"

At this time, I don't know who shouted indiscriminately, and the Linqing soldiers who were still ridiculing the refugees were immediately a spirit, and they didn't even think that they would squeeze into the city if they got into the refugee pile.

Who thought that this matter ended up making a big joke, and Linqing, who was guarding the door, always heard the laughter from time to time among the refugees, and suddenly felt shameless, and pulled out the waist knife with a "poof" in annoyance.

Not to mention, this kind of trick is still never tired of playing, holding the knife in his hand, looking at the frightened eyes of those refugees, he always feels much taller and stronger.

However, before the Linqing general had time to say anything, he heard a Linqing soldier on the city tower shouting, and the people around him didn't hear it clearly.

He didn't care so much, and walked to the middle-aged man who was the most happy with the knife in his hand, and wanted to scare him with a fake tiger.

Lin Qing shook the knife proudly in front of the middle-aged man's head, and he didn't notice the hint of abuse in the man's eyes, and he was still juggling on his own.

The middle-aged man took advantage of Linqing's carelessness, and Fang Cai's still empty hand took out a short knife as if it were a trick, and stabbed it on Linqing's throat, and in an instant, it was bleeding.

Before the Linqing soldiers guarding the door understood what was going on, they were already shocked to see their superiors lying in a pool of blood and convulsing, and by the time they reacted, there was already chaos around them.

The refugees were in a mess, most of them scattered in a panic, but some of them tore off their tattered clothes, erected a large red flag, and shouted swaggeringly:

"The fifth battalion of the left has arrived, kill the dog officers and soldiers, it's time for us to turn over!"

"Kill the dog officers and soldiers!"

There were only a dozen Linqing soldiers under the city, and they couldn't tell who was a refugee or who was a rogue who had wandered into the city, so they forgot to close the door for a while.

Some refugees are easily bewitched, hearing that the fifth battalion of the left is coming, they turned their heads and ran to the Linqing soldiers to shout and call, not long after, more than a dozen Linqing soldiers under the city walked in the footsteps.

At this moment, the Linqing soldiers in the city, who didn't know how to be good, were shocked to find that a cloud of dust was raised in the distance, and countless rogues were holding red flags and killing them in their side.

The banner is impressively engraved with three majestic characters of "Geli Eye".

People have a process of adaptation, dozens of Linqing soldiers in the city also know that at this time to run down the city is to send them to death, the largest official rank will always grit his teeth to organize a defense in the city, and some soldiers pick up the dusty gong, and the "bang" is not dead.

"Grim's eye is coming!"

"The Rogue has entered the city!"

Soon, these news spread to the Yamen of Zhizhou in Linqing, and Zhizhou no longer judged the appearance of Taiping, so he sat directly on the ground, and the only order was to mobilize the people to protect the government.

In contrast, the Linqing garrison reacted very quickly, and immediately mobilized the battalion to rush to the north gate after hearing the warning of the gong, and fought with the rogues and refugees who were entering the city.

At this time, there is no need to care about any refugees and outcasts, just like the gap between a gentleman and a villain.

The garrison and their families walked in the front, and both refugees and outcasts went down with a knife, and even the morale of the battalion soldiers was also high.

The big families in the city were frightened enough to hear the news of the Liukou entering the city, but they reacted quickly, and without saying a word, they closed the gate as soon as possible, and ordered the servants to block the door with everything they could move.

Wherever the rogue passed, there was no grass.

But then again, didn't the Dengzhou battalion say a few days ago that it had sent troops, why hasn't it arrived yet, can't it run halfway like those half-hung officers and soldiers?

The officers and soldiers on the Linqing side are actually similar to the rogues, wearing tattered mandarin duck jackets, and I don't know how many years ago they sent down the old goods, and most of the knives and guns in their hands are rotten and rusty, and their combat effectiveness is very limited.

Fortunately, the garrison arrived with a group of ironclad soldiers, these people had some fists and kicks, and they dared to fight to the death with Shangguan, which was able to stabilize the situation, but what was surprising was that the official army actually took back the city gate before the army of Ge Liyan was killed under the city.

This is something that the outcasts outside the city never expected, and in the past, whether it is a strong city or not, as long as the city is mixed in, there is nothing that cannot be defeated.

Seeing that the city gate was gradually closing, just a few steps away, the rogues were all jumping in anger.

However, this situation is still not good for the Linqing soldiers, and a large area of the Liukou black pressure outside the city has even spread to the edge of the Wei River, and the total number of Linqing soldiers in the city is a fraction of the people, how to defend this city?

Moreover, the chaos in the city is now greater than that outside the city, and there are officers and soldiers and civilians fleeing in a panic everywhere, and some big families are still clamoring for the officers and soldiers to open the door and leave the city to avoid the limelight.

The local garrison appointed by the imperial court was rarely not panicked, and he actually took his family to open the treasury that had been sealed for an unknown number of years, and moved the city's eight tiger pier cannons and many firearms such as bird guns and three-eyed guns.

The garrison general did not run, and took his family to sit in the city, which gave great encouragement to the Linqing soldiers, and the officers and soldiers who had been slightly dispersed gradually began to gather in the whole team.

The court guard looked at the bank of the Wei River with a pale face, there were so many of them that he couldn't see the edge at a glance, and he was afraid that there would be at least tens of thousands of people.

Soon, the garrison saw a bright color appear among the rogues in messy clothes and armor, and a group of strong men in neat clothes and armor came to the city with a person, carrying the banner of "Ge Li Yan", the leader of the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution.

Na Geli has a leopard head and a big face, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and a mace swaggering under the city, very disregarding the Linqing soldiers in the city.

Ge Li's eyes were full of lightness, although the garrison of the imperial court refused to defend the fortified city, they still broke out in a cold sweat, and they had no hope of winning the war.
