Chapter 84 Take Pingshan

Fight the town, but also fight the city, if you put it in the past, you can't think about it, Liu Yongfu and others secretly rejoiced, or followed Brother Yang to Sichuan Shuang.

There was a big battle to fight when he first came, but Yang Dongfang did not explain the specific siege method, which inevitably made everyone itch. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since he is Bai Fan, his people will not help the New People's Army fight now, but just come to learn how to fight, to investigate the true strength of the New People's Army, once it is found that the New People's Army is an embroidered pillow, it is exaggerated, the cooperation will be terminated, and he will also take people back to Daliangshan.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Dongfang wants to fight Xuzhou, one can strengthen the allies, and the other can attract Qing soldiers, before leaving Sichuan, his plan is to return to Tieshan, wipe out most of the Qing army in Tieshan, and then expand the army, fight out and start occupying the city.

But after coming out, the plan was going to be changed after harvesting Jufeng, so he simply mobilized Liu Yuezhao and took advantage of the emptiness in southern Sichuan to take Xuzhou, and it was possible to occupy Luzhou, so that southern Sichuan would be in the palm of his hand.

Pingshan City is on the north bank of the Jinsha River, facing the water on three sides, backed by mountains, and can go directly to Xuzhou by boat from the Jinsha River, and the traffic mainly depends on the waterway.

As the saying goes, rely on the water to eat the water, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, the transportation convenience brought by the waterway at the same time, but also promote the flourishing of mountain goods, and it is the day to catch the market, today there are many people who enter the city.

There were taxes to be paid when they entered the city, and the more people came, the happier the watchmen became, and the more excited the officials who were lying on the skins of the little girls in the city.

But no one noticed that, unlike before, these people did not go out of the city before dark to rush home, but rented several yards in the city, and all of them lived in the city.

At this time, the people who came in during the day were people who knew these new faces, and they were the people of the independent group.

One of the most basic functions of the transportation system is the large storage function, entering the city is to simply search for weapons, and muskets are the easiest to expose, so Yang Dongfang relied on it, and after entering the city, he distributed the weapons to everyone, which made everyone admire.

"Brother Liu, you take people to the city gate, after taking the city, take other people into the city, Xiao Qi, you take people to the dock, you must not let go of a boat. The city will be handed over to me. Yang Dongfang gave the order, and then took out his pocket watch: "Start acting in two moments, remember that those who do not surrender will be killed directly." ”

"Yes!"

The time for the capture of the city is set at three o'clock, when most of the people in the city have fallen asleep, one can avoid exposure, and the other can reduce the accidental injury of the people.

Soon both teams moved in their respective directions, and after several days of reconnaissance, they were familiar with the road.

Liu Yongfu led people to the gate of Mianshan City first, there are only two gates in Pingshan City, and the other side is linked to Xiaguan Wharf, as long as these two places are taken, basically the entire city will be controlled.

There were no more than a dozen guards guarding the city, and they were all dozing, and occasionally one of them saw a group of figures coming from the city street, and immediately shouted: "Who! Whose nursing home is it?。。 ”

No one answered him, and only a sharp arrow off the string was in front of him.

"Poof!"

"It's not good, there are people who rebel!"

When the guards saw that someone was hit by an arrow, they panicked at the moment, and they picked up their worn-out weapons one after another, and their first reaction was that someone was in trouble in the city, but they didn't know which master didn't want to die.

"Kill!"

Liu Yongfu led people to approach these guards at once, and slashed down with a big knife, and one of the people who tried to resist him was directly shocked to the point that his arm was numb, and the weapon in his hand didn't know where to fly, and the whole person fell backwards.

Liu Yongfu brought people here are all old brothers, all of whom have seen blood and killed a lot of Qing soldiers, these guards are their battle-hardened opponents, and they were killed in one face, and the city gate was taken down very simply.

Together, they lifted the long wooden deadbolt and threw it aside, then lit torches and circled the outside of the city three times.

Dai Rufeng and others, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, were happy when they saw this: "It's done, the city gate is open, enter the city." ”

At the same time, Xiao Qi, who rushed to the dock, also beat the scum soldiers with five combat strength, holding his head and jumping around, but when he seized the ship, he used a musket and knocked a person who hid in the boat and tried to support the boat to escape into the water.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the entire Pingshan City was alarmed, and the officials in the city immediately gathered their subordinates, and just opened the gate, preparing to go to the dock to find out the situation, but at the door, a black gun was facing them.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang."

It was all Mini rifles, hitting a row, the smoke was filled, the projectiles were fired, and all the Qing soldiers who wanted to close the door were injured or killed, and Yang Dongfang let the people with guns and knives rush in.

The small Pingshan City is not worth saying, so it was taken down like this, and it was quickly blocked, so as not to reveal the slightest news.

After dawn, Yang Dongfang released two armed merchant ships at the dock, and asked everyone to pedal the boat for half a day to do simple adaptation training, and let the people of the guard platoon get on the ship to operate the navigation.

These are steam engines, simple and easy, I have been trained in Hong Kong for half a month, and then I have found a few old boatmen to guide the course, and there is no problem in sailing.

The two companies of the independent column were left with most of Bai Fan in Pingshan, and only then did two armed merchant ships take the vanguard and one merchant ship as the auxiliary, and went down the river to the east.

Yibin County, the later generation of Baixi Town, was only a crossing estuary on the north bank of the Jinsha River at this time, and because of the fact that it was adjacent to the Jinsha River in the south, the commerce and trade were relatively prosperous, and the population was gathering more and more.

In the evening, the shippers, who had already collected their ships and returned home, found three large ships from upstream, these three large ships were many times larger than their own ships, and they looked particularly hideous and terrifying, and they were sure that if they collided with them, their own ships would definitely be shattered and turned into planks.

So they rocked the boats to give way to the dock for them to come in.

"Whose ship, so big, I don't know which business it belongs to?"

"It doesn't look like it, I guess it's the ship of the military master, you see that the boat is very weird, it will emit black smoke, I'm afraid that the ship of the court sailor is so big."

"Do we have a sailor here? I'm afraid it's not that big. ”

"I haven't seen it, I guess there will be one later."

Soon three big ships docked, because the dock was too small to really stop the ship in, so they put down the boat, one by one with a murderous face, holding a steel knife, the mighty military master went ashore, and everyone muttered in a low voice: "I don't know which military master it is, it looks very annoying." ”

"I guess it's the Hunan army, you see they also carry muskets, I've seen that thing, it's amazing, when I beat Li Lan's bandits..."

The man with the musket on his back turned and glared at the man who spoke, and the man immediately lost his head and walked away.

The Independent Regiment kept kicking the shore, and then controlled all the entrances and exits of the town as fast as possible, and controlled the town of Baixi.

"Baixi Town is only about thirty miles away from Xuzhou City, you can arrive in half a day, tonight I will take people from the land to Xuzhou City, tomorrow morning into the city, like the wind, you take people down the river with a boat, the time is set at noon, this battle I want to let the Qing army and the people in the city see how we take the city."

Yang Dongfang glanced at everyone and said, "Now rest for an hour and a half, make a fire to cook, and march late at night." ”
