By the fifth day of the departing, only twenty miles were left from Jinling County. The child soldiers began to divide the troops. In addition to the 5,000 Qingshe Army, they also divided a thousand auxiliary soldiers.

Qiu Wei, Song Qianzhi said goodbye to everyone and rode a horse and led his troops away.

They didn't know that they walked by and the child soldiers divided the troops again.

"The Great Sage brought 6,000 people to station on the spot, waiting for news from Jinling, and ready to help at any time."

Huo Bao glanced between Hou Xiaoming and Shi San and said to Hou Xiaoming.

"Ode to the Lord!"

Hou Xiaoming responded happily without saying a word.

Huo Bao then brought the remaining 8,000 people and continued to go towards Yixing.

On the afternoon of February 11, 8,000 child soldiers arrived five miles away from Yixing City.

Huo Bao ordered someone to send orders and stay on the spot.

Shi San brought a little excited and came over and said, "Master Bao, are you going to rest for one night and attack the city tomorrow?"

Huo Bao was not anxious, pointed to the seat in front of him, asked Shi San to sit down, and said, "I just sent the news back from the outpost. Everything in Yixing City is as usual, and the city gate is not closed yet..."

Shi San blinked: "Then we won't just come to the city, let's try to seize the door first?"

Even if the imperial court is not equipped with sufficient local military equipment and the Chuzhou army is full of morale, this siege battle is still the most devastating war. It is natural to avoid it.

"How to seize it? How many people have passed?"

Huo Bao continued to ask.

When Shi San heard this, he was filled with excitement: "The county gate guards are full of fifty people. Including those who are empty-handed and those who are on holiday, the remaining two or thirty people are good. Please order twenty people to go there."

As for Huo Bao and Shuijin went up to seize the door when they were fighting Luzhou, it was not a precedent.

The two were brave and no one could match.

The water is in the air right now, Huo Bao is here, but there is no reason why he takes the lead in every battle.

In that case, what else do these generals do?

Even Huo Bao won't take risks easily.

It’s not just a joke to say that there is no eyebrow.

If Huo Bao was really like that, he would not have the next time he finished this battle.

Huo Bao said: "Then try it!"

When Shi San was fifty warriors changed into military uniforms, a scout came to report that the city gate was closed.

Huo Bao looked at the sky, it was not yet time to close the city gate.

This is supposed to be the discovery of the army's whereabouts and the news was obtained.

Shi San pursed his lips, and he was calm and composed as he did not let go of his face: "Master Bao!"

However, Huo Bao still looked calm, waved his hand and greeted the generals to come to the door.

Shi San looked at the cannon trucks on the logistics camp and felt at ease again.

If you attack the city, you will be afraid of a bird?

They have thunderbolt cars.

The army continued to move towards Yixing City.

When we arrived outside the city gate, it was already dusk.

“Camp!”

Huo Bao was not in a hurry to attack the city, so he chose a safe area to let everyone camp on the spot.

In Yixing City, the city gates were closed, and torches were lit on the city wall, and there were shadows.

"Come, really?"

"What should I do? Send a message to the Fucheng?"

The magistrate of Yixing County, the magistrate of Yixing County, the magistrate of Yixing County, and the three giants rushed over.

Looking at the vast heads in the dusk, the Yixing County Magistrate looked pale and his heart was filled with grudges.

As early as October last year, Zhenjiang fell, he was worried and even used the excuse of "phlegm disease" to send a memorial to the prefect of "sputum disease" to the prefect's office and asked the prefect to take the post to raise soldiers, and asked the prefect to take the lead to the court.

In order to successfully resign, he gave 300 taels of silver to the prefect's office documents, but because of the fall of Henan and Huainan, all the documents were not understood, it was finally left alone.

He also lacks courage and has the intention to wait and see. He did not wait for a turnaround, but instead waited for a dead end.

There were constant wars everywhere, and many fooled people welcomed the Baishan Army, but for local officials, the arrival of the Baishan Army was no different from a death talisman.

Whether it is defending the city for sacrifice, or losing the land to surrender to the enemy, the county magistrate of Yixing does not want to be elected.

But when the troops were at the city, he had to choose even if he didn't want to.

He turned around and looked at the county magistrate and the county magistrate. The county magistrate's eyes flashed, and the county magistrate's expression was solemn.

The magistrate of Yixing County smiled bitterly.

These two people are different from him.

Both of them are from Yixing.

He is a "crossing river dragon" with no courage. After arriving in Yixing, he did not dare to offend these two "local snakes". He paid attention to harmony in everything, and did not fight to the death with other local officials and auxiliary officials.

But the scene in front of us not only involves personal life and death honors, but also the life and death of the entire family.

Even if the magistrate of Yixing wants to fight to the death of the city, it depends on whether the two of them are happy or not.

"Brother Bai, Brother Huang, the Baishan Army is already at the city. Where should Yixing go? Can you make a decision in your mind?"

Yixing County Magistrate Road.

The county magistrate shook his goatee and sweared: "The lord is the parents of Yixing, and our officials are the lords as the leader. The lord is always kind, and he will definitely find a way to protect the people in this area!"

Bad-hearted old thing!

This is because he is a bitch and wants to set up a archway. He has the intention to surrender to the enemy, and he does not want to take the lead, and does not want to take any risks at all.

The Yixing County Magistrate "snatched" in his heart and looked at the Yixing County Magistrate again.

"No matter what, fight first!"

The Yixing County Magistrate made a sound: "Before the New Year, the county soldiers recruited 3,000 people, and now there are 3,700 people in total!"

That’s right, not only were Jinling County recruited troops, but Yixing also recruited them before the New Year.

Because the road was cut off and the organization was not completed, Changzhou Prefecture did not receive the recruitment documents from the Ministry of War.

Before the New Year, the county recruited troops and received an edict from the prefectural office, using the name of "eliminating strong men" to repair local city defenses.

The Yixing County Magistrate suddenly changed his face and did not dare to hide behind him: "How to fight? The Chuzhou army is now lying in Jinling, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Not to mention Yixing, even the city is afraid it is dangerous now!"

Not to mention the adjacent Zhenjiang Prefecture, the local garrison troops are above Changzhou; there are also Yangzhou Prefecture opposite the river, which is directly stationed by Huainan Road defenders, but they have all fallen one after another.

In a small county town in Yixing, I am overestimating my ability.

The Yixing County Magistrate looked like a knife and said, "If you don't hit me, Lord Bai will throw a white shirt?"

The county magistrate was choked and could not speak.

What else can I do if I don’t vote?

Try to the death?

The county magistrate looked at the county magistrate and felt indignant.

Who doesn't know who?

The Huang family is a large family in Yixing and has hundreds of tribesmen. He doesn't believe that Bai County Magistrate really dares to resist the Baishan Army if he dies.

Chuzhou Baishan is not a vegetarian. He made his fortune from Chuzhou and accepted many gentry officials along the way, and also dealt with many gentry officials.

Now the court is weak, and there are constant wars everywhere. Changzhou, Suzhou, and Songjiang, among the three places of Taizhou, Baishan, Chuzhou, and Baishan, have become lonely leaders.

Today, Chuzhou white shirts will not come, tomorrow, Taizhou white shirts will come, Taizhou white shirts will also come.

Baishan from Taizhou was born as a pirate, and had committed evil deeds in slaughtering villages; Baishan from Taizhou was born as a salt bandit, and had previously slaughtered gentry in Taizhou and Huaian in order to make money; on the contrary, Baishan from Chuzhou, although he was born as a pirate, he was a buy-and-seeker, and his reputation was more credible.

...

Under Jinling City.

Looking at the cannons that exploded into a pile of scrap iron, Qiu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I'm shameless! If you don't want to surrender, you'll die!"

The Green Snake Army had surrounded Jinling for a day and night, and also made people shoot the letter of persuading surrender.

However, the magistrate of Jinling County and the magistrate of Jinling County did not reply, but brought the county soldiers to the city wall and acted as a perseverance.

Qiu Wei had no choice but to ask people to attack the city with cannon chariots.

This cannon chariot, also known as the thunder chariot, comes from the firearm camp.

The imperial cannons were imitated, and the distance and power were available, but the problem of explosion did not solve the problem.

A cannon truck can only be fired four times at most, and it will turn into a pile of scrap iron.

Qiu Wei asked people to concentrate on bombarding the city gate, saving money, and it was only after bombing seven times before the city gate tower collapsed.

A cannon truck was scrapped.

You must know that the entire child soldier brought out ten Thunderbolt chariots from Jinling.

On the Qingsnake Army, five were assigned to each of them, and one was broken and one less was lost.

This time, the "Eastern Expedition" not only attacked Changzhou Prefecture, but also attacked Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture.

According to Deng Jian's previous military order, the child soldiers captured Jinling County and Yixing County and went to Fucheng to join forces with Deng Jian to attack Suzhou.

Qiu Wei felt sorry for the loss of artillery, but also saw that Jinling County was a hard bone.
