Li Hongcai, commander of the Hangzhou Town Navy and Ma Army.

In addition to the five armies, the local standing army in Daqi is the Xiang Army, and the establishment of the Xiang Army can be roughly divided into two levels: army and command, and the command is the grassroots unit. In some places, the number of soldiers with some numbers is small, and the "capital" is used as the grass-roots unit, such as the ferry capital, the branch work capital, and the miscellaneous work capital. The senior general of the Xiang Army is the commander of the Ma Bu Army, and the deputy position is the deputy commander of the capital and the Marquis of Duyu; The ranks of the chief and deputy generals of the horse army and the infantry army at the army level are the same as above; The commander of the horse and infantry army at the command level is the commander and deputy commander; The commander of the "capital" level, the horse army is the military envoy, the deputy soldier and horse envoy, the infantry army is the capital head, the deputy capital head, and there are ten generals, generals, Yu Hou, Cheng Bureau, and escort officers under them.

It can be said that Li Hongcai, the commander of the Ma army, is the person with the highest military status in the entire Hangzhou territory except for Bai Qing, and the town navy is one of the few famous strong armies in the world.

Although it is said that on weekdays, the one who has more dealings with Bai Qing is Chen Sihai, the commander of the infantry army of the town navy, but no one knows that Li Hongcai is also one of Bai Qing's henchmen, and he holds this important position, it can be said that Bai Qingqing has firmly held the military power of Hangzhou in his hands.

However, Li Hongcai's hole card, Bai Qing has never lifted it from beginning to end, and the two people rarely interact with each other on weekdays, and many times, the two people rely on time to exchange information.

In fact, Li Hongcai became Bai Qing's confidant, which can be regarded as a coincidence, when Bai Qing was still a little boy in a green house. inadvertently helped Li Hongcai, who went to Beijing on business, and later the two became confidants of each other. Before Bai Qing came to Hangzhou, Li Hongcai was also a small Duyu Marquis. climbed to the position of the commander of the town navy and the horse army, and after Bai Qing came to Hangzhou to take up his post, when Li Hongcai came to see the new boss, the two of them were surprised to find that they were full of joy, but Bai Qing had a firm foothold in Hangzhou at that time, and the two of them also reached an agreement in private.

And after a year, Bai Qing has completely controlled the situation in Hangzhou, and Li Hongcai at this time. also changed from appreciation at the beginning to admiration, and became one of Bai Qing's henchmen.

His current position, but he relied on his own knife and gun to fight, so his skills are very solid and steady, and now even he has said so, thinking about the situation in the county below, it is not optimistic.

You must know that although the Xiang army is a standing army in the local area, they are mainly stationed in the governor's office of a state, as for the counties below. Most of them rely on the government and the township army, although it is daytime, Bai Qing has also asked people to send out warning signals to the locality, but even Li Hongcai. It also puts the safety of Hangzhou in the first place, and with the scale of the town navy, it wants to maintain martial law in Hangzhou. It's already a little stretched, so for a while. Those counties are a little careless.

If it was really like what Bai Qing thought, the thieves would take advantage of this Hangzhou city to attack the west. Then it really has to be left to fate.

Even if it is among the county orders below, Gu Qingfeng, who was picked up by Bai Qing, is in charge of Qiantang, but the other county orders are just literati who have not experienced much war, thinking of this, Bai Qing suddenly felt a little anxious.

"Commander Chen, can you still draw out people from the infantry of the Zhen Navy!" Bai Qing looked at Chen Sihai, the commander of the infantry army not far in front of him, and asked in a deep voice with a frown.

After hearing Bai Qing's words, Chen Sihai's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, he lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he raised his head, frowned and said: "Bai Zhizhou, right now those thieves are attacking the city, most of the brothers under the last general are guarding the city on the city wall, and the rest have to be on guard in the city, what I am afraid of is that if there are thieves hiding in the city again, then there will be some trouble, now the manpower is already very tight, if you want to draw out some more people, It's a bit tricky! ”

Hearing Chen Sihai's words, Bai Qing was silent for a long time, in fact, he also knew that what Chen Sihai said was not some prevarication, but if he sat here like this and resigned himself to fate, it was obviously not Bai Qing's style, after thinking about it, Bai Qing looked at Li Hongcai again, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Li, what about the Ma army!" ”

"The Ma army can be dispatched at any time, but the general thinks that it is still necessary to leave some men in the city, and it is better to leave some back hands for himself!" After Li Hongcai heard Bai Qing's words, he did not hesitate at all, and said directly to Bai Qing.

Hearing Li Hongcai's words, Bai Qing fell silent again, raised his head for a while, and looked at Xi Xingwen, although he didn't speak, but Xi Xingwen understood Bai Qing's choice from his eyes, and he nodded slightly.

After getting the support of Xi Xingwen, Bai Qing raised his head and said to Li Hongcai: "In this way, you will go back immediately after a while, gather people, leave five hundred men and horses in the city, and the rest of the people will all be sent out to support the counties below, you will personally lead the team in this matter, as for how to distribute the people and horses, and how many people will be distributed in which county, you can do it yourself!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Li Hongcai replied to Bai Qing in a deep voice without hesitation, and his face was extremely resolute from beginning to end.

After Bai Qing's words were finished, Xi Xingwen, who had been standing beside Bai Qing without making a sound at this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said to Chen Sihai at this time: "In this way, the infantry army will also find a way to draw out some manpower, don't tell me that there is a shortage of manpower now, and send out all the soldiers who patrol the streets, as for the things in the city, ......" When he said this, Xi Xingwen subconsciously paused slightly, turned his gaze to Bai Qing's face, and then continued to speak: "Starting tomorrow, The guards and servants of the various yamen in the city were all sent out to inspect the streets, and as for the yamen, only four or five people were left to deal with the ordinary guards, I don't know what Bai Zhizhou thinks! ”

"Yes!" Hearing Xi Xingwen's words, Bai Qing didn't hesitate too much, and thought about it for a while. He nodded in agreement, after all, it was this time. You still have to put your precious power where you can use it, if only to protect yourself. It's really a bit too wasteful, and with the luxurious lineup in his mansion, whether it is the two sisters of the Tantai family or the general of the Di Mansion, they are all famous and famous, and I don't know if there is anyone who is not open-eyed to provoke.

After the group hurriedly made a plan, Li Hongcai and Chen Sihai said goodbye to Bai Qing and Xi Xingwen, returned to their camp, and began to gather people to prepare for departure.

And at this time, the four city gates of Hangzhou. They are being besieged by those Manichaean thieves, and as far as the eye can see, almost all of them are densely packed with human heads, and what Bai Qing has to do now is to find a way to clear a passage for the centaurs who are going to support everywhere for them to rush out.

The south gate was excluded first, after all, in terms of numbers, the south gate concentrated more than half of the thieves' troops, and if they wanted to rush out from this side, the discerning people knew that it would not work.

The other three doors followed. After careful consideration, I finally chose Ximen, after all, not only are there few thieves here, but also as long as you rush out. It is a flat river, which can greatly shorten the distance and time to other counties.

At the sound of an order, a group of crossbowmen were drawn from various doors. And they gathered themselves on the side of Simon, and did as they were told. Some of them posed on both sides of the towers above the gates, while others were. It is on standby at the city gates.

Those crossbowmen, after the formation was completed, were in their respective positions, silently checking the crossbow machine in their hands, as well as the crossbow arrows around them, everyone's faces were silent, no one spoke, except for the thieves below who were attacking the city gate in full swing, chanting high-spirited trumpets from time to time, the whole scene, as if it was a silent pantomime, but there was a suffocating sense of oppression.

It didn't take long for the horse army that had been prepared, and the infantry army that had been drawn out, also slowly came to the side of the West Gate, and soon the team was assembled, and everyone's face showed a solemn look.

Bai Qing glanced at Li Hongcai, and saw that Li Hongcai made a prepared look towards him, Bai Qing nodded, and then waved his hand to Chen Sihai, who was in charge of commanding on the city tower.

After receiving Bai Qing's signal, Chen Sihai came to the city wall and looked at the thieves below, with a somewhat cold gaze in his eyes.

"Do it!" The words without any emotion came out of Chen Sihai's mouth.

After hearing Chen Sihai's order, the crossbowmen on the city wall picked up their crossbow machines one after another, and pulled the trigger on the thieves below.

A miserable scream suddenly rang out continuously, and hearing these screams, as if they had received a signal, Li Hongcai and the others subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, and looked at the front with a little uneasiness and nervousness.

The city gate slowly opened, and what appeared in front of everyone was the faces of the thieves who had become a little sluggish because the city gate suddenly opened, and before they could react, the crossbowmen who had been prepared at the gate rushed out of the city gate quickly, standing on both sides of the city gate, holding the crossbow machine in their hands, and together with the brothers upstairs, they shot their crossbow arrows at the thieves in front of them.

Because of the proximity, they could even see the frightened gazes on the faces of the thieves very clearly.

"Whoosh"

On the battlefield, there was the sound of flying and breaking the sky, and the black crossbow arrows covered the entire night sky like a swarm of locusts, and the thieves in front of the city gate fell down layer by layer as if they were cutting wheat.

"Rush!"

At this time, Li Hongcai's eyes suddenly widened, then raised the blade in his hand, turned his face, and yelled at the soldiers behind him, and then clamped the horse's belly, and the whole person was like a sharp arrow off the string, and rushed out quickly, while the soldiers behind him pursed their lips and followed behind him, with a solemn look on their faces......
