Gongdou enthusiastically admired Yang Dongmin and his party, and the sturdy middle-aged man couldn't appreciate the tragic traces of war inside and outside the city, and couldn't help but marvel again and again. Say, if there is anything you want my brother to help with, try to open your mouth, if I can't do it. Let me thunder and thunder! ”

Yang Dongmin didn't expect that Wang Dou would give him twenty precious grades, he is now a thousand households, and with these grades, his ascension is just around the corner.

Jidou sighed: "The army of thieves and slaves is besieging the city. Our Shunxiang Fort suffered heavy losses, and the army was completely lost. The battles of the previous days. There was not enough artillery fire in the fort, so I had to let my brothers fill it with their lives,"

Speaking of this, he shook his head and continued: "Junior brother has nothing else to ask for, I just want Brother Yang to go back and talk to Master Conduct, and ask him to transfer a batch of artillery equipment to me." ”

Yang Dongmin's chest slapped loudly: "Brother, you treat your brother so well, if you can't do this, brother, am I still human?" ”

That night, Wang Dou invited Yang Dongmin and his entourage to a banquet, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily. Early the next morning, Yang Dongmin returned to the state city. Before leaving, he took away the twenty levels of Qing soldiers with a smile, and the rest of the ranks still stayed in Shunxiang Fort, and now the Qing soldiers are gathered, and the roads are impassable, so they have to wait for the Qing soldiers to retreat. The state city then reported to Huailai and the governor of the town.

Wang Dou asked Lin Daofu to lead 300 military young men, and asked Han Chao to lead a team of soldiers to escort him, and went to the state city with Yang Dongmin and others, not to mention how the news of Wang Dou's victory caused a lot of noise in the state city, and how the integrity officer Xu Zucheng smiled.

In the evening. Lin Daofu, Han Chao and others returned to Shunxiang Fort, and they also brought back a large number of artillery equipment.

There are five iron cannons of the invincible general of Shenwei in the city of Baoanzhou, 20 pairs of copper franc machines, and 30 pairs of iron franc machines. There are twenty-five small copper cannons and eighty small iron cannons. In addition, there are three generals, Sakurako cannons. Mouth cannon. There are dozens or hundreds of sub-mother cannons and small guns.

Wang Doujun's merit level was true, the integrity officer Xu Zucheng was in a very happy mood, and Yang Dongmin lobbied hard, so Xu Zucheng generously allocated Wang Dou a batch of artillery equipment.

Not only that, but there were also dense artillery pieces on the city wall, and nearly seventy large and small copper and iron Franc machines. There are nearly one hundred and fifty small copper cannons and small iron cannons. There are one hundred and fifty tiger squat cannons and twenty-four sub-mother cannons. 1,200 small guns" and a number of invincible generals' big iron cannons.

In addition, there are nearly 5,000 guerrillas and Daobiao battalion guards led by the Huailai garrison and the East Road guerrillas in the city. There are more than 6,700 military households in Huailaiwei, most of which are young and strong soldiers who can be guarded in this acropolis, but all of this cannot erase the fear and uneasiness in the heart of Ji Shiwei, who is prepared for the Huailong soldiers.

The sunset and the view are beautiful.

"The sunset Kaiping Road, the ancient county town of Huailai, several only earthen houses, and ten thousand times have a palace. The snow hugs the pass to make it strong, and the dust is light with the stagecoach. The people of the long bridge stand side by side, and also, the Huailai City under the people's affection is so full of poetic painting Zhang Woniu Mountain, the south of the Feishui River, the rain and fog in the eastern suburbs, the moonset of the West Rock, and the Lingyun of the North Ridge are one of the beautiful scenery of Huailai, and the place where the scholars and ladies play.

However, all this beauty in front of him was destroyed by the dense Qing barracks outside the city, where the flags were all white and red-edged. It is the army of the Qing soldiers with white flags.

"The thief slave is powerful."

Looking at the Qing army camp outside the city, for a long time, Huailong Bingbei Dao Ji Shiwei let out a long sigh.

Ji Shiwei is 47 years old this year, and in the capacity of deputy envoy of the Shandong Provincial Procuratorial Envoy Department, he served as the military garrison of Huailong Road in Xuanfu Town, supervising the soldiers, horses, money and grain in the area, and also managing Tuntian and Ma Zheng. He has an elegant appearance. The three-way long beard flutters. In terms of the aesthetics of the Ming officialdom, he is a beautiful man, quite in line with the officialdom's official appearance, and his ability to rise step by step has a lot to do with his appearance.

After Ji Shiwei took office, he had ambitions, but in the face of reality, he showed his own powerlessness, and in only a few years in Huailongdao, he was besieged twice by the Qing army, and he was helpless.

At this time, beside Ji Shiwei, there was also Feng Shilei, the general judge of Baoding Mansion, Mao Mo, a guerrilla general on the East Road, and Huang Changyi to guard Huailai. Except for Feng Shilei, several generals were respectful to Ji Shiwei. Said: "Lord Feng." Be cautious. ”

For Feng Shilei, Ji Shiwei couldn't say anything. Feng Shilei is a household official, and unlike him, although he is controlled by himself, it is the household department Langzhong who is in charge of him. It's just that the enemy is at present, especially if there are a few martial artists beside him, if Feng Shilei's words cause civil and military discord, this is a big taboo. So there was a reproach in his words.

Feng Shilei arched his hand to Ji Shiwei, looked outside the city and frowned, "Another people have been taken captive into the thief camp." Alas. ”

Ji Shiwei looked outside the city, shook his head and sighed: "The country is in trouble, the official sits back and watches the people being plundered and suffering, but there is nothing he can do, it's really ashamed." ”

He slammed into the guerrilla Mao and Huailai garrison Huang Changyi beside him: "General Mao, Huang Garrison, can you two dare to go out to battle and recapture the captive people?" ”

Mao Yan was taken aback, his face was blue for a while, white for a while, and he said in a low voice: "Bingxian, the slaves and thieves are powerful, I am afraid that there are nearly 10,000 people, our army will fight, I am afraid that there will be more than one auspicious, if it is better to strictly defend it, Huailai City is high and thick, and the slave soldiers will not be able to attack it." ”

Huailai guarded Huang Changyi and persuaded him bitterly. If the Qing soldiers take advantage of the situation to attack in, the people and civilians of the entire Huailai City will not be spared, and it is better to guard the city carefully.

Hearing what these two people said, Ji Shiwei had to sigh. Never let the army go out of the city to fight.

He looked at the Qing army camp outside the city for a while. Looking at the northwest direction of the city from afar, he always had a heart hovering in his heart, but it was not good to speak to outsiders. He sighed, asked Mao Yan and the others to be extremely vigilant, and then went to the city under the protection of his personal guards.

The streets in Huailai City are in good order, and the houses are neat. There are four main streets in the city, east, south, west and north, which was originally a lively and prosperous place, but the war disaster arose, and every house was closed with closed gates, and the streets were deserted, like a ghost town. Occasionally, a few pedestrians walked by, all of them looking flustered, and only a group of soldiers patrolled back and forth in the street.

Ji Shiwei returned to the military department in the city, and when he came to the backyard of the mansion, his wife greeted him and said urgently: "Master, Jiao'er, doesn't she have any news?" ”

Ji Shiwei sighed, just shook his head ().

His wife was even more flustered, and said continuously: "This, how is this good?" Since the godson soldiers came, there has been no news back from Jiao'er in Baozhou City,"

She suddenly screamed, "She," she's going to be fine, right? ”

Ji Shiwei suddenly became angry: "It's all your fault." has spoiled her since she was a child, and looked at what she was used to, a girl's house, showing her face everywhere. Now it's okay, her life and death are unknown, you are happy! ”

Her husband looked furious, and his wife was stunned, and she had the impression that her husband had always been gentle and elegant, and had never been so angry with her.

She burst into tears, turned and rushed into the backyard, shouting, "I'm not alive anymore." ”

The maids next to her hurriedly followed, and said in a loud voice, "Ma'am, ma'am,"

Ji Shiwei sat down in annoyance, and finally let out a long sigh.

Huailai Qing army camp outside the city.

In the continuous camp tent, in front of one of the luxurious tents with a fiery silver roof, a huge golden dragon was erected.

The surrounding area is white and inlaid with red flags, and this dragon poison is as eye-catching as standing out from the crowd. In front of the big tent, the white baya and the guards were also densely packed.

However, at this time, there were bursts of angry roars in the big tent.
