"Your Excellency, why didn't you send me there? Maybe you can see a lot of acquaintances in the city, and by the way, you can recruit them. Guan Xiaohan said that she is now pretending to be a young scholar and speaking rudely, and the restrictions on women in the army are still very strict.

Duan Fei smiled: "Do you think Tao Tianxiong is so stupid? Specially sent your acquaintances to meet us? So that they can surrender to the court smoothly? The news that the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus and the Great Protector = Master surrendered to the imperial court has already spread, according to me, those acquaintances of yours have either gone to another world, or they have been sent to the farthest place from us, Tao Tianxiong is a cautious person, I heard that I personally brought people to exterminate him, I will definitely send some people to test him first, this Yucheng is not a difficult city to conquer, there are at most thousands of rebels in ambush, it is not worth it, sending you over is purely superfluous. ”

Guan Xiaohan frowned and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "My lord, how do you plan to take Yucheng and these thousands of people?" ”

Duan Fei smiled mysteriously, at this moment, there was a fierce shout of killing in front of him, Duan Fei looked up, and saw that Yuantong and they were rapidly exiting the gate of Yucheng, and no one in the city chased them out, but sparsely shot dozens of arrows, sending Yuantong and them to the river.

Yuantong and the others crossed the Tuhe River and returned to Duan Fei to report: "My lord, there is indeed an ambush in the city, but there are no masters, and it is estimated that there are only four or five thousand people. ”

Duan Fei inquired about the situation of the enemy's ambush, and said with a smile: "It seems that the other party wants to wait for us to cross the river to strike a head-on blow, hasn't their leader heard of the great achievements of this official in the battle of crossing the river in Shaanxi?" ”

Duan Fei changed his momentum and rushed to Shandong, ordered people to camp on the spot, and at the same time cut down wood and built boats and went upstream and downstream to find boats, looking like he was not in a hurry to cross the river.

When they came to the Tuhe River, it was afternoon, and it was soon evening when they set up camp and were busy and busy, when a convoy came from the north, hundreds of carriages pulled not only food, but also more than 20 large and small cannons, gunpowder and shells were unloaded from the carriages, and when the night covered the earth, Duan Fei ordered the gunners to place the cannons on the side of the Tuhe River, and the muzzles of the cannons were unanimously aimed at Yucheng.

"Fire!"

Duan Fei gave the order, and the gunners, who had already aimed at the target, lit the fire twist together, and then covered their ears and hid behind the wooden triangular bunker on the side.

'Boom ......'

All kinds of cannonballs flew towards Yucheng in the rumble of cannons, some cannonballs directly hit the city wall of Yucheng, the city wall of Yucheng was crumbling under the huge earthquake, and more cannonballs flew over the city wall and landed on the street on both sides of the city gate.

"Boom ......"

Flowering bombs and incendiary bombs exploded one after another, and the north gate of Yucheng suddenly fell into a sea of fire, and the screams came from afar, and many figures in the firelight could be seen shaking in the telescope.

The north gate of Yucheng is only two or three hundred meters away from the river bank, the river is only more than ten meters wide, the city wall is completely within the maximum power range of the new general's cannon, and the new franc machine gun is also very accurate, Duan Fei did not consider the transition river siege at all, he wanted to directly defeat the enemy hiding in Yucheng on the river bank.

The second round = when the artillery bombardment was about to pass, the fragile city wall of the north gate of Yucheng could not stand the cannon bombardment, and collapsed with a bang, there was no city wall to block it, and the Franc machine gun hit more accurately, under the light of the fire, many people could be seen fleeing from the bunkers and houses with weapons in hand, and they had no intention of fighting the fire, they fled south in a panic.

"Almost." Duan Fei ordered: "Only leave two Franc cannons to continue firing flowering shells, the target is the ruins that have been blasted out, slow down the rate of fire, don't waste too many shells." ”

Under the cheer of the cannon, the rebels of the White Lotus Sect fled in a hurry, Duan Fei continued to let the cannon bombard for about a moment and then stopped the shelling, and the baggage soldiers began to repair the bridge with the cut trees, Su Rong and Yuantong and other masters accompanied Duan Fei to cross the Tuhe River first, and entered Yucheng to command the people to fight the fire and save people.

The officials of Yucheng County, such as the county commander and the chief bookkeeper, who were imprisoned in the Yucheng County Yada Prison, were rescued, and Duan Fei learned from them that Yucheng had fallen ten days ago, in fact, Yucheng had no ability to protect himself at all, and it was already very good that the officials of Yucheng did not escape.

The people of the north gate of Yucheng have already been driven away by the people of the White Lotus Sect, and the original houses were occupied by the people of the White Lotus Sect, which were used to ambush the people to prepare for a sneak attack on the army, so although the bombardment of the north gate this time caused a lot of property losses, but the people who were killed and burned to death were all the White Lotus rebels.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the fire was finally extinguished after burning for an hour, and more than 100 corpses were found in the fire, most of which were burned beyond recognition, and there were not a few who were blown to pieces, so it was impossible to count the specific number for a while.

Just as the losses and results were counted, a sharp hoof sound suddenly sounded on the south gate, and many people chuckled in their hearts, thinking that the White Lotus Sect had gone and returned, but Duan Fei turned around and looked at it with confidence.

It was indeed the spies of the Shu army who ran in the dark, and they jumped down when they came to Duan Fei and reported to Duan Fei: "My lord, General Hua Ming ordered us to come back and report to your lordship, and the rebels who fled south were all captured by us in Quyu Gorge, and none of them escaped. ”

Hearing the sudden good news, everyone was stunned for a moment, only Duan Fei was not surprised as if he had expected it, he said indifferently: "This official knows." ”

It turned out that Duan Fei didn't do nothing when he was waiting for the cannon here, he ordered Hua Ming to take two thousand musketeers from the upstream to the only way from Yucheng to Jinan, where he ambushed the enemy deserters, these thousands of rebels Duan Fei didn't pay attention to it at all, sure enough, the cannon only fired two rounds, and the rebels retreated, and they were ambushed by Huaming halfway.

The news of the big victory covered everything, no one thought that there was anything wrong with Duan Fei knocking down the city wall and flattening dozens of houses, and soon the bridge was repaired, and the large army began to cross the river, just after the crossing, the 10,000 rear infantry of the recruiting army also rushed to Yucheng, after crossing the river, the infantry got half a night's rest, Duan Fei left with the cavalry first and continued to go south, and met with Hua Ming's two thousand musketeers at Quyu Gorge.

There were more than 3,000 White Lotus rebels who were captured, and the corpses had been disposed of after the fierce battle in Quyu Gorge, Duan Fei once again announced the policy of the White Lotus Sect, and immediately many White Lotus Cultists who were frightened were willing to surrender, and they were immediately given preferential treatment.

Duan Fei ordered the people to strip off the coats of the more than 3,000 captives, selected 3,000 people from among his subordinates to change into the clothes of the White Lotus Sect, and then raised the banner of the White Lotus Sect and ran towards Qihe City, the county seat in the west of Jinan, Hua Ming followed closely with 2,000 musketeers, and 2,000 of the remaining 5,000 people stayed in Quyu Gorge to take care of the prisoners, and the remaining 3,000 people also went to Qihe City at a slower pace.

Before dawn, the three thousand soldiers pretending to be the White Lotus Sect had come to the moat of Qihe City, and they used the captured arrows and the surrender of the White Lotus Sect to open the city gate, and the White Lotus Sect rebels in the city did not suspect anything, because they had already estimated that the people of Yucheng would definitely not be able to stop the Shu army, but they didn't expect to be defeated so quickly, and when they heard that the Shu army was chasing after them, they hurriedly put down the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and wanted to let their own people enter the city, and then closed the city gate to resist the attack of the Shu army.

Pretending to be the defeated army of the White Lotus Sect, the army was launched immediately after entering the city, with Yuantong and other masters playing forward, plus changing constraints, the defenders of the north gate of Qihe City have not yet reacted, and the city gate has been out of control, when the rebels from other places arrived, Huaming and their musketeers have received a signal to kill into the city, swords and guns raise muskets and fire grenades indiscriminately, although the White Lotus Sect rebels stationed in Qi City are one of the elites under Tao Tianxiong's command, but most of them are infantry, and they are at a disadvantage in the face of cavalry. Now that the army has rushed into the city, muskets and grenades are indiscriminately bombed, even the elite Tatar soldiers can't bear it, let alone them?

Attacked by this force, the defeat of the White Lotus Sect was inevitable, and when the whole city sounded: "The heavenly soldiers entered the city, and the Duke of Wei Guo came to destroy the White Demon!" The White Lotus Sect finally began to retreat.

Duan Fei did come to Qihe City in person, and even rushed to the front line, the dragon tooth blade, which had not tasted blood for a long time, once again drank the blood of the enemy, and under his prestige, the resistance of the White Lotus Sect was vulnerable.

Qihe County is one of the rear base camps of the White Lotus Sect besieging Jinan, after taking Qihe, Duan Fei's heart has been put down for most of the time, unless the rebels take Jinan in one day, they can only choose to fight with him, or avoid his sharpness, and turn to fight on the other side.

Whether Tao Tianxiong chooses a decisive battle or escapes, for Duan Fei it is just the difference between the short and long road to counterinsurgency, if it is a decisive battle, although the White Lotus Sect has many people, but Duan Fei has eight points to successfully grasp the defeat of the enemy, and the first battle is successful, if Tao Tianxiong chooses to escape, because the rebels do not have many horses, Duan Fei can first eat the backward rebel infantry in one bite, and then arrange to force Tao Tianxiong to death, which is also a victory, but it takes a little longer.

Therefore, after taking Qihe County, Duan Fei did not continue to pursue the rebels, he assigned men to garrison the four cities, clean up the remnants of the rebels, and sort out the spoils of war, Duan Fei found that this raid on Qihe County really harvested a lot, Qihe County is the closest county town to Jinan, and the defense capability is not bad, so the rebels piled up a large amount of grain, grass and baggage here, and the results fell into Duan Fei's hands.

The White Lotus Sect rebels who escaped from Qihe City fled to Jinan in a hurry, and the news of losing Qihe hit the morale of the White Lotus Sect hard, including Tao Tianxiong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, after hearing that he lost Yucheng and Qihe, he sat down on the tiger skin chair in a daze, speechless for a long time, there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on his face, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

Tao Tianxiong, who came to his senses, was furious and asked his subordinates: "Yucheng is still over, how did Qi He lose it!" Is the army really a divine soldier from heaven? How could they have come so quickly! ”
