As one of the cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Songjiang Prefecture has a total of 13 townships and 50 bao, although they are all remote towns, but because of its proximity to Suzhou, the geographical factor is extremely important.

In the vicinity of a city of this size, the Qing court naturally arranged defenders, but the number was not too much, only about 4,000 to 5,000 people.

After all, Songjiang Mansion is only one of the Jiangnan Prefecture cities, which is still much worse than Suzhou and Nanjing, so most of the defenders are also distributed in these two cities.

But even so, the size of 4,000 men was enough to suppress most of the rebellion, after all, if these people could not suppress it, it would not be an ordinary rebellion.

Ten miles away from Songjiang Mansion, a group of soldiers wearing blue robes were rushing to Songjiang Mansion in an orderly manner, but there were still a few soldiers in the crowd muttering quietly.

"How could a gang of thieves suddenly appear in this great world? also took down Songjiang Mansion. ”

"I don't know, but I heard that it was a sudden attack, and it is estimated that it was probably hidden in the flow of people and mixed into the city, otherwise Songjiang Mansion would not have fallen so quickly."

"Alas, you said that this is a good day, but you have to rebel, and you can't even connect the nine clans if you catch it."

"Who says it's not, but it has nothing to do with us, we're just on errands, let us do whatever we want, and it's better not to ask about the rest, otherwise it's easy to be implicated."

......

Regarding the fact that there were thieves in Songjiang Mansion, they also received the news half an hour ago, and as soon as they received the request for help, the local garrison of Songjiang Mansion immediately informed Wei Jingguo, the governor of Jiangnan, of this matter.

After learning the news that Songjiang Mansion was occupied by anti-thieves, Wei Jingguo was immediately shocked, and hurriedly sent 4,000 infantry to fight in the front, and then he also transferred all the defenders of Zhenjiang Mansion and Changzhou Mansion to prepare to support Songjiang Mansion.

Although the number of enemy troops is unknown at present, since the other party can capture Songjiang Mansion, then presumably the strength will not be simple, as a battle-hardened Wei Jingguo, he naturally has to be cautious.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and the most taboo on the battlefield is to underestimate the enemy.

Therefore, these 4,000 people are just a front, and the main task is to find out the number and origin of the opponent, so that when his large army arrives, he can better designate a plan to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop.

The idea itself is not wrong, but unfortunately, this time he met Zhang Fan, a killing god with a tank!

Question: On the frontal battlefield, we only have cold weapons, so how should we attack the opponent's tanks without gunpowder?

This is a question that a three-year-old child must know how to answer.

Of course, if there are only tanks, it may not be foolproof, so Zhang Fan sent another twenty mobilized soldiers to fight together, so as to avoid missing the net to the greatest extent.

When a mobilized soldier with an AK47 encounters an ancient soldier who does not even have body armor on a frontal battlefield, it is a one-sided massacre!

With Zhang Fan's order, the ten tanks of the tank squadron immediately drove in the direction of the Qing army, and behind them were twenty mobilized soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.

The tank walked across the dirt road and raised clouds of dust and fog, while the mobilized soldiers next to it trotted closely after the tank.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Fan's army and the Qing army finally came face to face.

"Platoon commander, enemy troops have been found ahead!"

At this moment, a mobilized soldier standing on the tank in charge of reconnaissance immediately shouted after seeing the figure of the Qing army.

"The whole platoon is on alert, and when the enemy walks into the range of the tank gun, they will shoot in unison!"

Hearing the report of the mobilizer, a mobilizer standing at the forefront immediately gave an order.

In order to facilitate statistics, Zhang Fan still arranged the Red Guard soldiers according to the military establishment in his previous life.

The combat units are squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and corps!

Different generals, Zhang Fan is replaced by medals, but the processing plant is still producing, so for a while, he can only rely on the tacit understanding of the Red Police soldiers themselves.

But fortunately, because of good training, the Red Police soldiers are extremely reassuring to Zhang Fan in terms of military literacy and ideological awareness, which is why he dares to let them do it.

At this time, the Qing army hurried on the opposite side also found the mobilized soldiers who came to intercept it, in fact, it was indeed difficult to see clearly without a telescope, but it could not withstand the large size of the tank, and even if it was far away, it could still see some outlines clearly.

"What's that?"

After seeing the figure of the tank, Deng Hui, the garrison of Songjiang Mansion, was a little puzzled.

He has been in the army for five years now, and although he doesn't dare to say that he has seen strange things in the world, he can be regarded as having seen a lot, but it is the first time he has seen this thing in front of him.

"Lord Garrison, there is a thief ahead!"

At this moment, the scout in charge of the investigation also hurried back.

"That's the thief? How many are there? ”

Hearing the scout's report, a hint of caution flashed in Deng Hui's eyes.

"Quantity—" But at this moment, the scout's tone hesitated.

"How do you talk and spit out, if you have something to say, you can talk about it, grinding and chirping like a little woman, what kind of system will it become?"

Seeing the scout's hesitation, Deng Hui's face immediately changed.

The most taboo thing in a war is hesitation and vacillation, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, if you are like this person, how many things will have to be delayed?

"Report to your lordship, the number of enemy troops is only yes, but there is something like a firearm next to it, and my subordinates have never seen this thing, so I don't dare to make a decision easily."

After being reprimanded by Deng Hui, the scout immediately said everything he saw.

When he saw that the other party only sent twenty people, he was also shocked, and only twenty people dared to intercept him, and this anti-thief general was afraid that he was crazy.

But when he saw the tanks around the mobilized soldiers, this contempt was immediately suppressed.

The main reason for this is the peculiar pipe on the tank.

As a scout, he had naturally seen cannons, but the other party's pipes were so narrow that there was no comparison with the rough muzzles of the cannons, so he subconsciously thought that this was a new type of firearm made by the anti-thieves.

It's just that because the power is unknown at the moment, he doesn't dare to jump to conclusions.

"Twenty? Are you sure? ”

After Deng Hui heard the scout's report, he was immediately a little stunned.

Twenty people came to stop the enemy? Are you sure you're not being funny?

Or is there another ambush on the other side?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the surrounding terrain again.

The vicinity of Matsue Prefecture belongs to the Pingchuan area, and there are few dense forests on both sides, and the mounds are not even visible, so it is impossible to ambush in this case.
