Just when the Qingzhou army was besieging Lingshui County, the navy stationed in Wanpingkou, Yujun County, also quietly arrived in Qingzhou along the coastline.

In a seaport called Jiaolong Bay in the north of Qingzhou, a group of navy members of the Xiao Zi Battalion are going ashore in batches.

After inquiring in advance, Kuroko knew that this was a deserted beach, and the harbor had a deep draft and few people fished here.

In addition to the 3,000 navy, there were also 2,000 crossbow battalion soldiers led by Kaneko.

Now that the Qingzhou army is pouring out, the defense force of the hometown must be empty, and they are here to prepare for a surprise attack on the state capital and the county towns under their jurisdiction.

Upon landing, the well-armed soldiers began to control the few civilians in the area.

In the makeshift tent, Jin Zi and Kuroko sat opposite each other, discussing how to take the Qingzhou Mansion.

The two who had been in a disparity of status sat opposite each other at this time, and the atmosphere was indescribably cramped, but Jin Zi didn't think so.

After a period of precipitation, the gold began to become more and more calm, and there was an incomprehensible taste.

And Kuroko was indeed a little nervous in the face of this former leader.

The two of them discussed for a long time in the tent, and finally decided to take the nearest Linshu County first.

After two days of investigation of the local people, they learned that the armed forces of this Linshu County were basically controlled by a family surnamed Yu.

Previously, Lu Yaoliang conscripted troops to the west, and this Yu family was the one who supported it at the beginning.

At this time, although there were still some garrison forces left in the county town of Linshu County, the castle tower of the county town was in disrepair for a long time, but it was not difficult to conquer.

Without a large number of Qingzhou troops in Qingzhou Prefecture, the defensive forces left behind in Qingzhou now pose no threat to the well-trained Xiao Zi Battalion.

If things go well, as long as Zhang Ben drags the main force of the Qingzhou Army in Lingshui County, Heizi's navy will inevitably be able to create chaos in their rear.

As long as Qingzhou Mansion is in chaos and shakes the foundation of Qingzhou, I am not afraid that Lu Yaoliang will not withdraw his troops.

For the past two days, Kuroko has been collecting intelligence everywhere to find out the news in Qingzhou.

Unlike Lingshui County, Qingzhou was not affected by the drought, but the high taxes made the people mourn.

Not to mention that these left-behind forces in the county government have mobilized the people to join the army, it will take a lot of effort and feet to even clear out the mountain bandit rebellion in the territory.

Finally, after finding out the basic situation, the soldiers led by Kuroko left Jiaolong Bay, where the sea ships were docked, and went to Linshu County urgently.

……

Linshu County, the county seat.

"What, you said there are thousands of Yuzhou soldiers?"

An obese military general listened to the report of his subordinates, and suddenly jumped up from the rattan chair lying on his back.

This fat military general is naturally the guard of Linshu County, named Wang Chong, who stayed in the county seat after the county guard followed the Qingzhou army to the battle.

He was originally leisurely and wandering, and suddenly heard that his subordinates reported that thousands of people appeared in Linshu County out of thin air, how not to panic in his heart.

You must know that the county guard took away most of the troops of Linshu County when they set off before, and now the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in the city add up to more than 2,000 people.

Although he now has the advantage of the city, in the face of the Yuzhou soldiers who appeared out of thin air, it still makes him feel furious when he has never fought in actual combat.

What he couldn't understand the most was that these Yuzhou soldiers seemed to be conjured out of thin air, which was really incredible.

But as the commander of the First Army, after a brief panic, he forced himself to calm down and began to arrange the work at hand.

Sending troops out of the city to encircle and suppress, Wang Chong naturally did not dare, so he could only post notices to recruit troops in the city.

The credibility of the official office of the county is very low in the trust of the people, so even if there are many rewards written on the notice, there are few responders.

Just when the defenders of Linshu County remembered that they were sick and went to the hospital, a pair of soldiers from the Xiao Zi Battalion in disguise mixed into Linshu County with the ranks of the people.

At night, in the military camp in the county town, Wang Chong was drinking in the restaurant in the city along with several henchmen around him.

Although at this time, he had received news that a group of Yuzhou troops had entered the territory of Linshu County, but Wang Chong did not have the courage and strength to go out of the city to suppress bandits, so he could only borrow wine here to kill his sorrows.

"You said that our Linshu County is in the northernmost part of Qingzhou, how can there be Yuzhou soldiers coming over, are they falling from the sky?"

Wang Chong sighed in a low voice to several of his subordinates, and the generals at the table also nodded in agreement.

They also couldn't figure out how these Yuzhou soldiers entered Linshu County, because according to history, there had never been a navy.

At first, they just suspected that some people were pretending to be the Yuzhou army to make trouble, but when a soldier who had participated in the last expedition to Lingshui County recognized a leader of the Xiao Zi battalion, things instantly boiled.

Especially the veterans who had been to Lingshui County before, they knew the power of those cannons made by Xiao Jiu.

Now that there is suddenly a strong force of Yuzhou soldiers in the territory, Wang Chong has no confidence in holding the ruined county town of Linshu County.

Just as Wang Chong and a few people were pushing cups and changing glasses to drink, the Xiao Ziying team that sneaked into the county town during the day also took advantage of the night to start action.

First of all, the granaries in the city where food was hoarded and the arsenals where ordnance was stored, and after finding out the number of soldiers on patrol, they began to quietly prepare to set fires.

After evading the patrolling soldiers, a strong pungent smell began to fill the surroundings as the fire oil continued to splash.

In the darkness of the night, flames began to light up in all directions, gradually rolling up thick smoke.

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

The silence of the night was broken by the loud shouts of the patrolling soldiers, and people kept coming out of their dwellings to look at the pillars of fire rising into the sky.

Wang Chong, who was drinking in the military tent, also heard the movement, and went out to check with his subordinates, and when he saw the fire that entered his eyes and went straight to the sky, he instantly sobered up most of his spirit.

A shout sounded from all directions, accompanied by a panicked shout, and the entire Linshu County was in chaos.

Wang Chong began to shout at his subordinates to fight the fire, and using sporadic buckets to draw water to extinguish the fire was tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

While there was chaos in the county, two soldiers from the direction of the city gate began to run in the direction of the barracks.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

As the soldiers shouted, the defenders, who had not yet recovered from the fire in the city, began to panic in search of their weapons, their robes or their commanders.

No matter how stupid Wang Chong was at this time, he knew that the fire inside the city would inevitably be inseparable from the enemy forces outside the city.

Fortunately, Wang Chong was not useless wine bags and rice bags, and quickly ordered his subordinates to maintain order and prepare to organize resistance.

But at this time, it was late at night, and the soldiers of the Xiao Zi Battalion, who had been sneaked in before, were burning fire everywhere in the city, and now Wang Chong wanted to gather his subordinates, and the difficulty could be imagined.

Just when the defenders in Linshu County were gathering in a panic in the barracks, the 2,000 bow and crossbow battalions led by Jin Zi had opened the city gates and poured into the city without knowing when.

"Brothers, kill."

Jin Zi, who rushed into the county seat of Linshu County, took the lead, brandishing a broadsword and taking the lead and began to lead the charge.

Most of the defenders in Linshu County were still asleep, and at this time, the fire in the city and the sound of killing were heard, and it was impossible to figure out how many enemies had come.

As the city gate opened, the soldiers of the Xiao Zi battalion drove straight into the camp until they reached the place where the military camp was stationed, and there were countless corpses on the road.

"General, run away."

A defender of Linshu County, who showed timidity in his eyes, said to Wang Chong tremblingly, Wang Chong looked around when he heard this, and all his subordinates nodded in agreement.

"Fart, lose Linshu City, you don't have enough to cut off 10,000 heads

Gather all the soldiers and horses, and slaughter this group of thieves with me. ”

Looking at the group of subordinates who were like quails huddled beside him, Wang Chong felt a burst of anger in his heart.

Wang Chong, as the defender of Linshu City, has another identity that represents some local families, and if the county is lost, he will definitely not be able to escape from it.

Although Wang Chong behaved a little dissolutely in normal times, there was no lack of blood in the current attack of the enemy army.

But there is no blood, and it seems a little powerless in the face of absolute strength.

Not to mention that most of the soldiers who stayed in the county town were old and weak, after being easily taken down by the gold leaders from the city gate, the balance of victory had already tilted towards the side of Xiao Ziying.

Although Wang Chong was at the forefront with a few defenders at this time, the Xiao Zi battalion, which rushed into the barracks, had already begun to kill like a flock of sheep.

Most of the defenders in Linshu County were forced to join the army because they couldn't eat, and their will to fight had already collapsed when Xiao Ziying poured into the city.

There were even many people who knelt down directly with their heads on their knees, and the soldiers of the Xiao Zi Battalion who passed by turned a blind eye to this and rushed straight towards the middle of the barracks.

With the shouts of killing, the scene was already full of severed arms and limbs, and the defenders who had no intention of resisting gradually gave up resistance.

After the Xiao Zi battalion led by Kaneko entered the city, they engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders of the city, and when the battle was nearing the end, they began to take over the defense of the county town and issue a notice of peace and security.

When the Qingzhou government sent troops to Lingshui County, the people in the territory had to bear high taxes and pay the price of the war.

Therefore, after the Xiao Zi battalion led by Jin Zi entered the city, all these people in the city were closed, and there was no intention of sticking to the city with the defenders of Linshu County.

And Wang Chong, who had been stubbornly resisting, was also captured alive after Xiao Ziying's attack on the barracks and escorted to Jinzi.

Kaneko looked carefully at the stubborn defender in front of him who twisted his head to the side, and couldn't help but look up at him.

"You are Wang Chong, the defender of the county town?"

Hearing Jin Zi's slow question, Wang Chong, who was already a fish on the chopping board, snorted coldly and did not answer.

Seeing this, Jin Zi did not directly order Wang Chong to be executed, but continued to ask with great interest, "I heard that your Wang family is known as the first scholar clan in Linshu County?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Chong stared at the gold and glanced at it carefully.

"What's the matter, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it."
