Voice, stopped."

Looking at the direction of Hexia City, Zhang Wanshu, the capital of Hebei Town, was full of anxiety in his heart, his hand pressed on the cold stone wall battlements, secretly exerting his strength, and doing a complex psychological struggle in his heart.

He wanted to come down.

Rather than die miserably under the bombardment of the Ming army, it is better to take the initiative to surrender to the Ming army, and still be guilty of meritorious service and get an official and a half-job.

He turned his head to look at his panicked subordinates around him, and finally made a decision.

"Your Highness, the Qing army in Hebei Town took the initiative to open the city and surrender."

In the camp of the Ming army, Zhang Huangyan walked over to Su Yan with a little joy on his face.

"Down?" Su Yan repeated his words, and there was no look of surprise on his face, Hexia City was bombarded with high intensity, and the Qing soldiers in Hebei Town would make the right decision as long as they were not loyal to the Qing court.

"Take over Hebei Town, Hexia and Hebei are occupied by our army, and the obstacles on the periphery of Huai'an have been cleared, and then you can directly attack Huai'an City." Su Yan said.

He didn't take the three satellite cities to heart from the beginning, the walls of these three cities were not impregnable, and the Ming army had a firepower advantage, so wouldn't it be easy to take the three cities?

As soon as he heard that he was going to use troops against Huai'an next, Zhang Huangyan's expression became serious, and he said, "Your Highness, Huai'an City has been an important town in Huaibei since ancient times, and it is impregnable, do you have a good plan to attack the city?"

"A frontal assault will certainly inflict heavy losses on our army, and the Governor wants to dig tunnels, place gunpowder under the walls of Huai'an, and blow up the walls as a breakthrough." Su Yan thought for a moment and replied.

"Good!" Zhang Huangyan approving, and he added on this basis: "Hexia City is close to the Huai'an city wall, and you can start construction in Hexia City, and dig tunnels with the help of the cover of the buildings in the city, and go straight to the bottom of the city wall, which can save a lot of effort."

Su Yan naturally had no opinion on Zhang Huangyan's proposal, and decided to start construction after the Qing army in Hexia City was completely wiped out.

Then, Su Yan did not give in to his identity, and personally met with Zhang Wanshu, the capital of Hebei Town, who surrendered, in order to show his generosity to the Qing army's generals, and also to attract other Qing troops to surrender, Zhang Wanshu was canonized as a general on the spot, and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters continued to be commanded by him.

For Su Yan's generosity, Zhang Wanshu was naturally grateful, and immediately knelt on the ground, expressing his willingness to fight for Su Yan's death.

Su Yan didn't take what he said to heart, and it happened that Ma Xin was still leading his troops to attack Xiaguancheng at this time, so Su Yan asked Zhang Wanshu to go and persuade the Guancheng garrison to surrender.

I don't know how Zhang Wanshu persuaded him, or maybe the defenders saw that his official position would go further after he surrendered, so they listened to Zhang Wanzhang's persuasion and surrendered in Kaesong.

After the surrender of the Qing army in Xiaguan City, Su Yan did not organize them into the punishment battalion, but under Zhang Wanshu, forming a standard with four battalions.

In just one day, the Ming army uprooted the three satellite cities in the north of the city, and the speed made the defenders in the city unable to help but be staggered.

Nikan did not regret dividing his troops to garrison the three cities, he was more concerned about the fierce firepower of the Ming army - Nikan was keenly aware that if the Ming army mounted those artillery on a large scale, it would be a catastrophe for the Qing Dynasty.

"No, you must destroy those cannons at all costs."

Nikan thought to himself.

He didn't believe that those were built by the Ming army itself, and with his understanding of the Ming army, nine out of ten of those artillery pieces were bought from Xiyi.

As long as those artillery pieces are destroyed, the Ming army will definitely not be able to come up with new artillery in a short time, so that the threat of the Ming army will be reduced a lot.

As a result, Nikan ordered people to summon a skilled Mengbaqi Niu Lu Zhangjing and began to plan a new military operation......

At the same time, Su Yan, who had moved the camp into Hebei Town, met two strange visitors.

One of them was Gao Simeng, the leader of the rebel army in Huaibei who was forced to rise up because of the atrocities of the Qing army, and the other was an old man who claimed to be a native of Huai'an.

Just today, when Gao Simeng's righteous army heard that the Ming army began to use troops against Huai'an City, he resolutely led his subordinates to Huai'an to defect to the Ming army.

Zhang Huangyan, who was in charge of receiving them, originally didn't plan to introduce them to Su Yan, after all, Su Yan was now a noble person, and not everyone could see him.

However, in Gothmont said he ministry

After someone knew where the secret passages in the two cities of Hexia and Xiaguan were, Zhang Huangyan knew that the matter was very important, so he directly brought the two of them over.

Although Gao Simeng was the leader of the rebel army and had killed several Qing army green battalion soldiers, he considered himself a hero.

But after he saw Su Yan himself, most of the complacency in his heart suddenly dissipated, Su Yan has been in the army for a year, plus he was canonized as the king of Nan'an County, in addition to the momentum of the superior, he also exudes a faint nobility.

This made Gao Simeng feel ashamed of himself when he faced Su Yan.

"Cao people Gao Simeng, Bi Wenshun, have seen the king of the county Chitose."

The two fell to their knees and said in a respectful tone.

"Get up." Su Yan said in a flat tone, and after the two of them got up, he asked straight to the point, "Gao Simeng, you said that there is one person in your army who knows the entrance and exit that connects the secret passages in the city, and this person is?"

"It's the grass people." Bi Wenshun hurriedly replied: "The grass people used to be the guards in Huai'an City before the Tartars went south, and their ancestors were military households who participated in the construction of the secret passage, so the grass people learned about it."

Su Yan didn't ask him how he could become a member of the rebel army, he stood up, looked directly at Bi Wenshun, and said, "Since you know where the secret passage is, as long as you lead our army to find the entrance and exit, this governor will definitely not treat you badly."

"Your Highness, the grass people don't dare to ask for too much, the grass people just want Huaibei to be stable and have a piece of land of their own." Bi Wenshun knelt on the ground again and said.

"Good!" Su Yan nodded and agreed to his request, and then he ordered Chen Ying to take a few people to follow Bi Wenshun to find the secret passage - and that Gao Simeng, seeing that he didn't follow him, Su Yan thought that he also wanted a reward, so he said:

"If you have made a meritorious introduction, this governor will not treat you badly."

"Back to His Highness, the grass people don't need a reward, the grass people want to lead their subordinates to join the army, and kill the Tartars with His Highness, the grass people's parents, wives and children were brutally killed by the Tartars, and there is only one grass people left in this world, and the grass people vow to bloody Tartars and avenge the old and young in the family!"

Gao Simeng gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"If you want to join the army, the governor will naturally not stop you." Su Yan said, "In this case, you tell Ben Du how many men and horses are in the rebel army under your command?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are a total of six hundred and eighty-three people, all of whom are the same as the grass people, who have a blood feud with the Tartars." Gothmon replied.

"Then the Governor will put you in the Chinese military camp, the Governor will not take special care of you, you all have to undergo a period of training before you can go to the battlefield, are you willing?"

"Yes." Gao Simeng said in a firm tone.

"Well, this governor will order someone to take you to Ma Xin to report, whether you can get your wish in the future, it depends on your own creation." Su Yan said.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your success!" qs

Gothon was overjoyed and knocked his head on the ground three times.
