By the next day, the Jinhua Ming army did not come to the city as Cao Conglong and others expected, but the Ming army's overwhelmingly superior cavalry began to expel the Fubiao camp sentinels west and north of Jinhua Fucheng.

This is the most normal tactic when besieging a city, leaving a way out to prevent the defenders from desperately resisting, but leaving a gap that is often not really safe, where there are often ambushes waiting for the appearance of those lost dogs who have escaped from the city.

In the afternoon, a military general with armor appeared on the west city wall to observe the city defense under the escort of a large group of cavalry, which caused a wave of surprise. It was only after the guard general who had seen Chen Wen saw it with his own eyes that he knew that the Ming army general outside the city was not Chen Wen, but a general of Chen Wen, Chen Guobao, the current general under the command of Liu Yiming, who had commanded the left and right battalions of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, made the defenders panic.

It's just that with the closure of the city gate, and the heartstrings of the battalions and civil officials involved in the rebellion of Fubiao have been tightened, the news of Chen Wen's return to the division to quell the rebellion has also spread throughout the entire city like the wind, and by the way, it has aroused a whispering sound like throwing a stone into the water, and there is no lack of Grandpa Yue's obscene jokes about returning to Qingjun with the Beiwei army to punish Qin Hui.

Cao Conglong was not ignorant of these, and he had previously held the mentality that he could wash away his grievances as long as he landed on the shore of the Lu Prison State, but now he has no time to think about it, and his limited energy is all used to let the civil officials of the various yamen in the city organize the people, make guards, and order the generals under his command to strictly guard the city defense and control the soldiers.

At the end of the day, the Jinhua Ming army outside the city did not show any attempt to attack the city, but Chen Guobao appeared outside the west city wall, Cao Conglong and his generals also felt that it must be Chen Wen's attack direction after studying it, so they also increased the strength of the defense on the side of the west city wall.

In this way, the Jinhua Ming army outside the city did not attack the city, and the Fubiao battalion in the city did not dare to go out of the city to find it uncomfortable, and the day passed so plainly. For a whole night, except for Cao Conglong personally to the west city wall, only a section of the city wall in the northeast direction was extinguished for a moment during the second watch, and then it was re-ignited, and there was almost no difference between other weekdays.

On the ninth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Yongli, after a day of rest and preparation, the counterinsurgency force of the Jinhua Ming Army appeared outside the Tongyuan Gate in the southwest of Jinhua Mansion early in the morning.

Finding that the light cavalry of the Ming army appeared in the distance, the defenders in charge of the west city hurriedly reported to the top, until the Ming army completed the formation under the city and began to continue to make preparations behind the battle, and the news also reached the governor's yamen.

The news of Chen Wen's return to the teacher made Cao Conglong's pressure double, he tossed and turned all night the night before, and he just fell asleep when the sound of the dawn came, and yesterday was even more so, and he barely slept until it was dawn.

After less than an hour's sleep, he could no longer sleep, so he had to get up to check the preparations for the defense and evacuation, and only now did he remember to eat something. But at this time, the news that the counterinsurgency army had arrived near the city came, and then the news came that Chen Wen invited Cao Conglong to the west city wall for a while.

Chen Wen's threat was too great, and he didn't care about the food that had already been delivered to his mouth, Cao Conglong hurriedly set off from the governor's yamen with his servants and rushed to Tongyuanmen, always trying to figure out what Chen Wen was planning.

Jiufang Lane, the location of the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen, is located in the original sub-city of Jinhua Mansion, in the southwest direction of the entire Jinhua Mansion City, and is not far from the East Market in the east of the city. The city of Jinhuafu is long from east to west, short from north to south, Cao Conglong and others took a carriage from the governor's yamen, along the avenue all the way to the west, until the west market in the west of the city turned to the south.

Jinhua Mansion City is located in the key point, it was originally a prosperous place, there are many places in the city, such as the county city, the east market, the west market, the south market, the Beiguan market, the Xixia street market, etc. are all places where merchants gather, if it were not for the massacre a few years ago and the later Ma Jinbao's rampant expropriation, the population of Jinhua Mansion City could not be restored after a sharp decline, Cao Conglong and his party wanted to quickly pass through there from here is purely dreaming.

I just saw the soldiers who were guarding, the few scattered vendors who were still setting up stalls on the street in the West Market hurriedly packed up their livelihoods, and the shops that were still open for business were also closed one after another, and even the people who came in a hurry to buy more necessities to deal with the siege of the city also hid in the alleys, and reacted more violently than catching up with the chengguan dispatch.

At present, the army stationed in the city is not still the Jinhua Ming army, which is known for its strict military discipline, but the master who Cao Conglong sent the Fubiao battalion to the countryside after discovering that it was difficult to recruit soldiers, and many of them were prisoners in the county prisons.

Not long ago, the Ming army went out to stabilize the local counties, and the officials of the counties went out to clean up the county and its surroundings, and then these social security instability factors that could only be released after a few days of imprisonment and the end of the war were waved by Cao Conglong, and together with other criminals, they directly came to fill the army, but also replenished a lot of soldiers in the Fubiao battalion. However, these people were originally oppressed and good people in the market, and with those criminals, they were even more taboo after putting on this military uniform, and even the masters who were forcibly recruited were quite bad at following them.

In just one month, the reputation of the Fubiao battalion was already considered a rotten street in Jinhuafu City, and those soldiers did not sell much strength during training, and as soon as the training was over, they took pleasure in bullying the people in the city, molesting people's girls, getting drunk and making trouble, beating pedestrians, blackmailing merchants and other things happened almost every day, and even some officers of the Fubiao battalion were also involved in it openly and secretly.

Cao Conglong is not ignorant of these things, but he can't do serious military discipline, and the main reason is that he still needs these soldiers to attack Taizhou, and these soldiers themselves are forcibly recruited, so it is naturally not good to be too strict, so as not to provoke mutiny and escape.

Cao Conglong's car quickly passed through the lot of Xishi, and saw those guards disappear from sight, and the people and vendors hiding in the alleys came out one after another to finish the unfinished business, and then hurriedly walked home, only occasionally from the corner came out of some words such as "Linhaibo has returned, these dogs have been jumping in a few days" and so on.
