This morning, even Bolobel, who supervised the battle, was a little strange, when did the Han army, which had been procrastinating before, become so active in combat?

The strange reason for Bolo is that Li Benshen quickly assembled early in the morning and was ready to attack the city.

The agitated Duoduo had hardly slept the previous night, and in the morning in a daze, he let Bolobel lead two thousand cavalry to supervise the battle, and went to sleep with his head bored.

Finally, when Jin Shenghuan's troops were also ready to attack the city, Bolo gave the order to start the siege.

Li Benshen was responsible for the north and west sides of the city wall, and Li Benshen rode a horse and personally led the people and horses of the headquarters to slowly approach the city wall.

Bolo did not supervise the battle in the west, there are red-coated cannons of the Yangzhou army on the west wall, that thing doesn't have long eyes, or go to the south to be more practical, and the west is to supervise the battle with a thousand Qing cavalry led by Xue Beizi.

The red-coated cannon could not distinguish between Baylor and Beizi, and the peacemaker could only lead the cavalry from a distance two or three miles away from the city wall.

It's just that today's deployment of Li Benshen's siege made it a little strange for Hexi, the musketeers and archers who were supposed to provide support for the siege were all lined up behind the formation, and although the infantry carried and pushed the siege equipment, their queues were too neat.

The red-coated cannon on the head of the city has begun to fire, but it seems that it is not Li Benshen, who is preparing to attack the city, but the cavalry who is rushing to supervise the battle, and the cavalry of Hezhen retreated again, out of the range of the red-coated cannon, and the distance of a few hundred steps is not a matter for the Qing cavalry at all.

It was getting closer to the city wall, only a mile away, and the besieging soldiers began to run, and Li Benshen took the lead in running at the front.

According to the discussion between Deputy General Yang and Liu Zhaoji last night, Li Benshen himself must enter the city first, and Deputy General Yang will organize troops to enter the city behind.

Li Benshen also understands this, if he himself is not controlled by the Yangzhou army, who dares to guarantee that they are not surrendering by fraud? Li Benshen did not dispute this.

The musketeers and archers behind the brigade had already set up a defensive formation, and no matter how stupid they were, they could see that something was wrong.

The west gate opened, and Li Benshen and a dozen of his own soldiers took the lead in entering the city.

Li Benshen, who entered the city gate, turned over and dismounted, handed over the horse to his own soldiers, and was just about to look around, when he saw a Yangzhou soldier step forward and said: "General Li, please here!" So saying, he led him to the edge of the wall.

"Li Benshen, you kid finally did something clear! Welcome, brother! When Liu Zhaoji saw Li Benshen, he laughed and stepped forward to hold his hand.

"General Liu, this troops..."Li Benshen was worried about the troops entering the city, and said to Liu Zhaoji in a hurry.

"Don't worry about it, it's all arranged, let's go, let's just go up to the city wall and watch." Liu Zhaoji led Li Benshen to the city wall and watched as Li Benshen's troops were being organized into the city.

Li Benshen looked at a person standing next to Liu Zhaoji, holding a gun he had never seen before, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he took a step next to Liu Zhaoji in fright.

"General Liu, I, Li Benshen, really abandon the dark and turn to the light, this brother takes that thing farther away, it's weird and scary, so General Liu should be trustworthy, right?" After Li Benshen finished speaking, he untied the waist knife on his body and handed it to the personal soldiers behind Liu Zhaoji.

A group of people walked up to the city wall and watched Li Benshen's troops enter the city.

Many soldiers have already entered the city, and according to last night's discussion, these troops who have entered the city must first collect their weapons and return them to them when the Qing soldiers have retreated.

Liu Zhaoji said that the number of people in your army is more than our defenders, and if you don't collect your weapons, if there is a second-minded general below, no one dares to guarantee that nothing will happen.

More than 2,000 men had entered, and the soldiers who had entered the city had crossed a street, put all their weapons into a room, and then assembled in the only square in the city.

The peace response was very timely, and when he found that the situation was not right, he immediately led the cavalry and rushed up.

Liu Zhaoji had already prepared, and the two hundred mini gunmen had already left the city gate, lined up in three rows with Li Benshen's archers and firecrackers.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers had entered a distance of two hundred meters, the Minnie guns were firing one after another, and the firecracker next to him felt very strange, is it useful to fight so far?

But the continuous fall of the cavalry of the Qing army made the firecrackers feel that their guns that do not need to be ignited must be a little weird, and I don't know if they can also use this kind of gun when they go to the Yangzhou army in the future?

Li Benshen's men and horses were all concentrated near the city gate, and the range of long-range firepower to protect was relatively small, which made the Qing cavalry very helpless.

A similar scene was also staged at the north gate, and Deputy General Yang also advanced into the city, but there was no cover of Minnie's gun in the north, and the men and horses at the rear still lost more than 200 people.

Jin Shenghuan, who was attacking the east and south city walls, heard that Li Benshen had joined the Yangzhou army, and without waiting for Duoduo to give an order, he called Jin and asked the troops to pack up and return to the camp.

The soldiers carefully woke up Duoduo, lest they anger Prince Yu, who was now extremely angry and would kill at any time, if it weren't for the urgency of the matter, the soldiers would not dare to wake him up anyway.

Awakened, Duoduo looked at his soldiers in a daze, and was about to get angry, when he hurried in with Baelor.

"Prince Qiyu, Li Benshen is reversed!" And he said very dryly.

The words of peace made Duoduo sober up in an instant, and he sat up from the bed.

"What did you say?" Dodor's deep voice scared even Serv Baylor when he heard it.

"Li Benshen took his 15,000 men and horses into the city to surrender to the enemy." And he said again.

Duoduo couldn't say a word, his face flushed, and he wanted to grab something from his side and smash it, but there was nothing on the bed, so he turned around and grabbed the stone pillow with both hands and smashed it towards the peace.

But he didn't want to take it, so he moved a step to the side and got out of the way, if this stone pillow was smashed on his head, his head would definitely bloom.

After smashing the stone pillow, Duoduo calmed down and asked his soldiers to come and serve him and put on his clothes.

Dressed in the tent, Dodor went in circles and stood carefully beside him, lest he take the fire out of his fire again.

After a few turns, Duoduo felt that his head was about to turn into a paste, a mess, and he couldn't figure it out at all, so he asked his own soldiers to come over with a basin of cold water, and Duoduo buried his head in the water, and after a long time, he raised his head and let out a long breath.

Taking the towel handed over by his own soldiers, Duoduo wiped his face, turned to the peacemaker and said, "Immediately raise the tent to discuss the matter!" ”

When he heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went out of the tent to find someone to inform.

Luo Jian and the others didn't know what was happening in Xuyi City at all, everything was prepared according to plan, and they had to send troops to rescue Xuyi again early tomorrow morning.

Luo Jian really wanted to let the troops rest for one more day, but the Qing soldiers transported the red-clothed cannons back, and the situation in Xuyi City immediately became critical, so the troops could only work hard for a while, but the ability of the Yangzhou army to fight continuously after intensive training made Luo Jian very satisfied.

The cavalry of the Qing soldiers has always been a heart disease of Luo Jian, these cavalry have strong mobility ability, can fight and run, if the large army is mobile, the Qing army dispatches cavalry to intercept, Luo Jian feels that it is really difficult to do.

Although most of the sides of the official road from Tianchang to Xuyi are paddy fields, some sections still have some flat land and low trees in the mountains and forests, and once they are attacked by Qing cavalry on these terrains, the marching infantry can only be beaten.

But now that the warrior chariot is coming, and with it in front of the road, the possibility of the Qing cavalry daring to come will be greatly reduced.

Luo Jian, Huang Degong, and others studied in detail the plan for tomorrow's march, and the first task was to ensure the safety of the artillery, and the second was to carry out the war materials.

As soon as dawn the scouts had already been sent out, and the whereabouts and major movements of the Qing soldiers had to be understood.

In the afternoon, the scout brought back the shocking news that the Qing soldiers were already packing up their camp tents and seemed to be retreating!

Duoduo chose to withdraw from the army in extreme desperation.

Originally, Xuyi City was like a hedgehog, and the Qing soldiers basically couldn't move, but now Li Benshen has joined the enemy again, and this coming and going has not only weakened the strength of the Qing soldiers, but also doubled the defense of Xuyi City.

What made Duoduo even more uncomfortable was that most of the Han generals were reluctant to attack the city anymore, and the Manchu generals' distrust of the Han army was all on their faces.

The Han army lost its heart, and the Mongol cavalry and the Manchu cavalry were powerful in the field, but let these warriors dismount and attack the city, which was not much stronger than the Han soldiers.

Although the red-coated cannon had reached ten miles away, Duoduo really did not have the courage to attack the city.

It takes a long time for the red-coated cannons to be placed in the position, once the Yangzhou army arrives, if the troops are withdrawn, it will take a long time for these red-coated cannons to be transported away.

These red-coated cannons are a sharp weapon to siege the city, and the defense is also easy to use, without these red-coated cannons, Duoduo has doubts about whether he can hold the city of Xuzhou in the future.

Duoduo was ready to be punished by the imperial court, and felt that he had to bring back these more than 60,000 horses, and if these horses were damaged again, the Yangzhou army would have no resistance to go north.

After thinking about it for a long time, Duoduo made a painful decision.

The retreat of the Qing soldiers was always very fast, the auxiliaries began to pack up all kinds of supplies, countless carts had arrived near the various camps, and more than 10,000 cavalry were ready to prevent the Yangzhou army from attacking in Xuyi City.

Liu Zhaoji saw the movements of the Qing soldiers clearly on the city wall, and had the intention to send troops to attack, but when he saw the cavalry of the Qing army guarding outside the city, he could only watch the Qing soldiers slowly pull out of the camp and leave.

After noon, all the Qing soldiers outside Xuyi City had gone away, and Xuyi City was finally safe.

The first thing Liu Zhaoji did was to report the news to Tianchang quickly, that is, to tell the Metropolitan Governor that the army did not need to rescue Xuyi, and the army was maneuvering back and forth, which was time-consuming and laborious.

When Luo Jian and Tianchang's generals heard this, they all didn't believe their ears.

The retreat of the Qing soldiers means that the Yangzhou Army has won a complete victory in this autumn operation.

"There must have been a major change over there in Xuyi, otherwise Duoduo would not have retreated." One of the staff officers spoke to the other.

Luo Jian heard this, pointed at this staff officer and said, "It makes sense, tell me about it?" ”

"I think the Qing soldiers have just transported the red-coated cannons back, and they must be preparing to attack the city, and now the red-coated cannons may not have arrived, so they suddenly retreated, I guess there is something wrong over there." The staff officer said thoughtfully.

"Go see?" Luo Jian looked at the time, it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, called the scout over again and asked in detail about the situation along the way, and prepared to go to Xuyi to see what was going on.

As soon as he said go, Luo Jian asked Liu Lan to drive the car over, and ordered the army to be ready to go out at any time.

Huang Degong stepped forward, opened the car door and got into the car.

Li Chengdong walked to the side of the car, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and was about to get into the car, Luo Jian said with a smile: "You can't go all, you stay in Tianchang and take care of the troops, you are sick and dizzy." ”
