It was the tenth day of the second month.

It has been seven days since Wang Wu led his troops to protrude from Xingshan.

There are more than 3,600 prominent Ming troops, and more than 1,400 people are willing to join the Ming army, with a total number of nearly 5,000.

There were only more than 1,400 soldiers who could charge on horseback, and the rest either couldn't ride or could barely keep from falling off their horses, so Wang Wu divided the team into two.

One was pure cavalry, led by him personally.

If the Qing army is blocked, the cavalry will open the way.

One is a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, that is, the use of extra war horses to turn the Ming army, which was originally infantry, into a motorized infantry with horses.

War horses are not a tool for charging, but simply used as a "means of transportation".

Every time I go to a place in the future, I will find a way to get some mules and horses out, and the Ming army commanded by Wang Wu will realize a real full mobility.

As long as it is not blocked by the heavy troops of the Qing army, it will not be a problem to run around the lake for half a year.

In this half a year, Hu Shuai and they should be able to calmly break through into Shaanxi.

Originally, it was ready to go north to Xiangyang and then go east to Wuchang, but heavy rain caused the water of the Shendu River leading to Xiangyang to soar, and the Ming army could not cross the river.

If you go to Yichang, you must go back to the state.

There is a precedent for the successful capture of Xingshan, and Wang Wu still let Xu Lin and others lead the "Manchurian soldiers" to ride horses to the city.

But this time it added an assist.

It was Qian Wentao, the Taoist who supervised the transportation of grain and grass to the front line.

Qian Daotai took the initiative to atone for his sins.

Wang Wu did not torture him, nor did he force him to help the Ming army.

When people dragged this Lord Qian down and prepared to cut it with a knife, Lord Qian's own consciousness rose.

It feels similar to what is depicted in Xianxia.

"The lower official is confused, the lower official is not a person, and the lower official has lived half his life in vain"

Lord Daotai, who was "taken away", cried bitterly and said that he was unworthy of being a man for helping to abuse in the past, but he must be a good person for the rest of his life.

In order to completely change his mind, he actually picked up a stone on the ground and cut off his braid in front of Wang Wu.

It was also the first time that Wang Wu encountered a civil official who surrendered to him voluntarily, and after a little thought, he didn't kill this Daotai lord, but asked him to go to Yucheng with Xu Lin.

At present, the news of the Ming army standing out is only known to the Qing army near the blockade line, and no one in the rear knows it at all.

When the news completely spreads all over Huguang, it will take at least half a month.

During this time, it was completely possible to make an information gap and squeeze out the residual value of Mulima's identity with the Manchurian soldiers.

In addition, with the help of Qian Wentao, the Ming army will not run around like a blind man.

Generally, the platform is the fourth grade, but Qian Wentao's platform is from the third grade.

It is equivalent to the left and right of the Ming Dynasty's political envoys participating in politics in the past.

It belongs to a high-ranking official of a province.

The higher the level, the more things you know.

This is true for all dynasties and generations.

The effect is also surprisingly good, basically they shouted in Manchurian dialect, Qian Daotai wore an official uniform and showed his face, and the city of Guizhou was opened.

After the Ming army entered the city, in addition to disarming the battalion soldiers in the city, Wang Wu strictly ordered not to disturb the people, nor did he mobilize the gentry and people in the city to join the Ming army.

Doing so did nothing but make the team that had managed to break through bloated and cumbersome.

Because Wang Wu did not have the troops to occupy a city or defend a city at all.

Really forced the people in the city to join the Ming army, and what awaited them was the slaughter of the city by the Qing army.

Only some mules and horses were collected, and another person was asked to post a document in the city in the name of Han Wang Dingwu Jian Guo.

Even military and political officials such as the governor of Guizhou Prefecture and the commander of the green battalion stationed in the city were not killed.

It was just that these officials were taken to a small black room and forced each of them to write a letter of repentance and a letter of guarantee.

After staying in the city for half a day, the Ming army rushed to Yichang Mansion in the east under the leadership of Wang Wu.

Until the Ming army went away, a group of Qing army civil and military forces in Guizhou City, together with the gentry and big households, were still a little confused.

The officials who were forced to write letters of repentance and guarantees also looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, Lord Zhizhou, who came back to his senses, pondered for a while, so let's send someone to Xingshan to report to the Admiral first.

When Dong Xueli, who led the troops in pursuit, arrived at Guizhou City, the Ming army had already appeared under the city of Yichang Mansion.

It's a big city.

Drawing a gourd in the same way, Wang Wu still asked Xu Lin and others to take Nu Dahai and other Manchurian soldiers and Xie Daotai to the city, but he didn't think that Lu Heng, the prefect of Yichang, and Wang Jishu, the general, were not fooled!

Even if Xu Lin put the official document stamped with the general's seal in the basket for Lu Heng and others to check, the city gate still did not open.

Seeing that he couldn't open the city gate, Xu Lin jumped and scolded under the city angrily.

In this way, their identities are exposed.

As a result, there was a loud noise in the city, and the frightened Xu Lin hurriedly led people to retreat two or three miles, and reported the situation to Wang Wu, who was preparing to enter the city.

"This kind of thing doesn't work every time, there are always exceptions."

Wang Wu didn't care, since the Qing army in Yichang City was very vigilant, then he asked General Jingxi to come out.

At that moment, he escorted Mulima and a group of high-ranking Manchurian prisoners, together with Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, to the city.

At a safe distance outside the range of the Qing army's guns, Wang Wu ordered hundreds of soldiers to shout towards the city at the same time: "The Great Qing Jingxi General is here, and you won't open the door yet!" ”

With a roar, Mulima on a stretcher was carried under the city.

Manhai and other Manchurian soldiers acted as a sounding board for General Jingxi, demanding that the city be opened immediately.

But there was no movement in the city.

Seeing this, Wang Wu ordered other high-ranking Manchurian prisoners to be taken to the city.

There was still no movement.

Seeing this, Qian Daotai said that he might not recognize Mulima in Yichang City, but Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, must know him, so it is better to let this Lord Futai also go to the city to make a appearance.

Wang Wuyi heard that what he said was reasonable, and ordered Yang Maoxun, who was constantly struggling to resist, to be escorted to the city.

This time, there's movement in the city.

It may be that he really recognized Governor Yang.

But to the surprise of the Ming army, Lu Heng, the prefect of Yichang, actually raised his voice in the city: "The lower officials are ordered by the imperial court to guard a side of water and soil, and they dare not open the city gate without the order of the imperial court!" ”

This is a disguised admission that it was Jingxi General Mulima who was escorted by the Ming army to call the door under the city, but he just didn't open it.

Nu Dahai was furious when he heard this: "You are a Han official, how dare you ignore the life and death of my Manchurian general!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the prefect of the city had already said: "Since the founding of Taizu Taizong in the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers of the Eight Banners have used their lives to have today's Jiangshan Sheji

The Manchurian soldiers have never been willing to be prisoners, and they have never heard of a general who led the way to the enemy, so the so-called Jingxi generals under the city must be fake thieves to deceive my city gate and harm my people! ”

After that, he directly ordered the battalion soldiers in the city: "Listen to this officer, if the thief approaches, but with arrows and birds, no matter who he is, there is no crime in killing him!" ”
