The speed of action of the Jinhua Ming army outside the city is amazingly fast, in the early morning when the city gate has just been opened on this weekday, the defenders from the city found the Ming army light cavalry that appeared in the distance and stepped on the mist, to the guard general received the report and led the team to the city, and then to the Jinhua Ming army outside the city The infantry was completed, in fact, it was only less than a quarter of an hour later, but the defenders of the military camp in the west of the city were still climbing the city wall one after another.

Fortunately, the gates of the west and south cities have not been opened since the beginning of the rebellion, and the wood-picking and trading on weekdays are carried out from the east gate facing the Fucheng direction. And the Jinhua Ming army outside the city doesn't seem to carry too many siege equipment, and the infantry do carry some ladders, but it is still not enough for the western city wall with a moat as a defense, at least before the moat is led away or filled, it is not very convenient to rely on the ladder to attack the city.

The beacon fire had been lit, and the messengers to the city and the countryside had already set out. The guard carefully observed the general flag of the commander of the Jinhua Ming Army outside the city, although it was written with a big "Chen" character, but the height of the flagpole and the specifications of the flag did not seem to be what an earl should have, and even the general soldiers could not arrive, obviously it would not be Chen Wen, could it be that Chen Wen just sent a little-known general back to quell the rebellion?

It's just that this question has just surfaced in my mind, but there is a cry of death from the direction of Yingxu Gate, from far and near.

………………

Since the rebels had already occupied Tangxi County, if the Jinhua Ming Army returned to the division to quell the rebellion, the Tongqu Gate in the west of the city and the Luhua Gate in the south of the city were obviously the most likely targets for a surprise attack, so after the county town of Tangxi fell to the rebellious governor's yamen, only the Yingxu Gate in the east city was still open as usual every day. Otherwise, there will be no wood harvesting and rice grain input from outside the city for a long time, but I am afraid that if the Ming army does not need to return to the division, the people in the city and the local recruits in Tangxi County who have just been recruited will be inexplicably cut off from the outside world, and the guards and magistrates who want to starve them to death will be tied up and attached to Chen Wen.

Although Tangxi County is not as convenient as the surrounding Lanxi, Longyou, and Jinhua, it is relatively closed a lot, but the exchanges between inside and outside the city are never less, and now only one of the east city gates is left, which not only causes inconvenience to the people inside and outside the city, but also completely presses the traffic pressure on this city gate.

Less than a quarter of an hour ago, the Ming army outside the west gate had not yet appeared in the field of vision of the defenders, and the east gate was still opened at this time as usual.

Although the city gate has been open for a moment, the people entering and leaving the city gate are still in the same constant stream as before. Except for the captain and the two captains, who were from the Fubiao battalion, the others were all recruits recruited in the county not long ago. For the past half a month, they have only opened this city gate, and they are also very aware that the local people have a lot of complaints, so they will also depend on the situation during the inspection, and try not to cause blockages.

In the flow of people entering the city, Chen Fugui drove a bulky ox cart loaded with charcoal to slowly move towards the city gate. For this veteran, who had joined the Nantang Battalion as early as the Dalanshan period, if he hadn't been transferred to the cavalry with the relationship of his old boss during the expansion of the army this year, I am afraid that he would not have done his old job before joining the army.

It's just that his first official battle, which is keen on riding, still can't even touch the horse, but he drives an ox cart into the city, how to think about it and feel weird.

The flow of people continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the city gate, and the city guards wearing the same Ming military uniforms as they usually did not seem to be very strict with the people who went out of the city, but they always had to take a closer look when entering the city. I don't know if these are from the instructions of their boss, but for Chen Fugui, this ox cart that pulls charcoal is not the kind of cart that built a mezzanine last time in Tiantai County, and the blades of him and the fellow Xuanfeng behind him are hidden under a thin layer of charcoal, and it is obviously impossible to pass such a review.

A moment later, the first few people who had entered the city had finished their examination one by one, while the vegetable farmer in front of him who was carrying a burden walked closer to the defenders.

The next one is him, Chen Fugui turned his head and glanced at the few disguised Xuanfeng behind him, and then pulled out the pair of iron shovels hidden in the charcoal, and smashed them towards the defender with a spear who was walking towards him!

The mutation was sudden, and the defenders were not as agile as the iron mace when they carried spears, especially since he was still a recruit who had only been in the camp for half a month, and he had already fallen to the ground before he could react under Chen Fugui's attack like a mad tiger.

Seeing this scene, the people widened their eyes but after an instant, they began to scream and flee in panic, and at this time, they could no longer care about the defenders outside the city who were being attacked by other Ming troops, and the defenders in charge of the city gate under the command of the captain hurriedly pushed the heavy gate, trying to close the threat outside the city.

The red and white pieces on the iron shovel were still dripping downward, and seeing that the defenders were closing the city gate, Chen Fugui no longer paid attention to the other defenders, and rushed over with the iron shovel.

Relying on the profession of charcoal burner all the year round, Chen Fugui's body was originally much stronger than ordinary people, coupled with the fact that he had always been able to eat well in the army in the past two years, coupled with reasonable training, Chen Fugui, who was almost a humanoid roller, knocked over several fleeing pedestrians who hindered his progress, and the whole person rushed straight into the city gate that was about to be closed.

Chen Fugui pounced on him at the last moment, and when he stood firm, he casually slapped the two defenders around him who were still closing the city gate to the ground. When he refocused his gaze, he saw that the group of defenders who guarded the city gate had already listed a mandarin duck formation that was only missing firemen and a pikeman, and even began to tremble and attack him under the command of the captain.

Born in the infantry, Chen Fugui has served as a wolf player, a long card player and a captain in the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team at the beginning, and he is very familiar with the change of formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation. Just at a glance, the other party actually set up a vertical formation to reduce the area of attack on the battlefield at the moment when the enemy was the only one.

Chen Fugui has never been known for his quick wit, and the enemy's should be making him feel extremely unaccustomed. However, since the opponent had begun to attack in a slow formation, he shouted loudly and rushed towards the defenders with his iron wedge. And the first target he spotted was the rookie rattan player in the front right who hadn't realized that his position was a little too convex, and had escaped the protection of the wolf player and the long player in the vertical formation......

A moment later, the city gate was reopened under the impetus of those who had completely dispersed the defenders outside the city, but Chen Fugui, who was the first to enter the closed city gate, still held the two iron shovels in his hands that were stained with more blood and brains, and let out a puzzled sigh.

"This is also worthy of being called the Mandarin Duck Array?!"

There was no time to pay attention to the defenders who had been killed and dispersed by Chen Fugui, and seizing the city gate was the task of their dozen and a little bit of selection, as the temporary captain, Chen Fugui signaled a few selections to continue to guard the city gate to guard against the defenders who were still on the city wall, while the others moved the corpses and all obstacles as quickly as possible, so as to meet the Ming cavalry led by Chen Wen himself, who had already launched a charge towards the city gate from the ambush point in the woods a few miles away.
