Chapter 146 Attacking Yulin City ()
  At twelve o'clock at midnight, outside Yulin City.

Lin Feng and Song Jilie had quietly lurked outside the east gate of Yulin with the second battalion of guards.

Suddenly, a shout of death came from the city gate, and then the east gate slowly opened, and the agreed light signal was also transmitted.

"attack!"

Lin Feng gave an order, and Song Jilie rushed into Yulin City with all the officers and soldiers of the second battalion of guards with bayonets fixed.

As soon as Song Jilie entered the city gate, he saw a group of elite guards with red ropes wrapped around their right arms as marks, struggling to resist the attack of the Yulin City Guards at the city gate.

Song Jilie immediately organized a volley of outpost officers and soldiers to fire, beating the Yulin city guards until they howled like ghosts, and then rushed into the city.

Organize a group of men from the second escort battalion to lead the first escort battalion to seize the city gate tower, and a group of men and horses quickly enter the city to eliminate the garrison in the city.

Suddenly, there was loud gunfire and fire in Yulin City, and the whole city was in chaos.

Lin Feng had learned through the intercom that Guo Zheng had followed Ma Mingjie to attack the General's Mansion, and immediately decided to lead the guards to support him.

Yulin City, Shenjiang Mansion.

He Shijie drank too much when he was happy at night. At this time, he was sleeping with his arms around the top girl from Yihonglou in the city.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a rapid knock on the door.

After a long time, He Shijie woke up. He opened his eyes drowsily and asked, "What's the matter? You dare to disturb this general's rest so late."

"General, it's bad, there are enemies attacking the city." The guard shouted at the door.

"Is someone attacking the city?" He Shijie was so excited that he woke up from the wine. As soon as he woke up, he immediately heard the sound of firecrackers and explosions coming from outside the window.

"Quick, get my general's armor!" He Shijie shouted as he got out of bed to look for clothes.

However, the physical fight before going to bed was too intense. Clothes were thrown everywhere, and it was difficult to find them for a while.

Just as General He Dashan was looking for clothes in the house, Ma Mingjie had already led his forty or fifty brothers to the door of the General's Mansion.

Hearing the sound of the siege coming from the east gate, Ma Mingjie no longer had any doubts. Even his brothers were full of energy. This promising rebellion was completely different from a desperate fight.

He Da Shen was going to be drinking and soliciting prostitutes inside, and the guards guarding the door naturally started drinking too, leaving the guard room in a mess.

Ma Mingjie kicked open the door and dispatched these people with a few strokes of his sword.

However, the screams of beheading the soldiers of the General's Mansion were also heard, and a group of soldiers on standby in the mansion quickly rushed out. After all, this was the residence of the General, and the guards could not be just drunkards.

This group of soldiers faced Ma Mingjie's officers and soldiers from Baihu Station, and the two sides fought fiercely.

After a while, the shouts of killing from the city became louder and louder, and the morale of the soldiers in the General's Mansion became lower and lower. Looking at this situation, no one knew that Yulin City could not be saved.

In addition, General He Dacan has not come down yet. He is sweating profusely looking for clothes and armor. The soldiers, without a leader, slowly retreated into the house, and some took the opportunity to escape.

At this time, Lin Feng and his personal guards also arrived. Fang Xiaoyu immediately led the team to rush forward, shooting while running. They were equipped with lightning type II fire guns, and the rate of fire was very fast. They annihilated the general in a short time. The remaining soldiers of the government.

"Participate, Lord Governor!"

Guo Zheng saw Lin Feng coming in at this time, and immediately stepped forward to greet him and introduced Ma Mingjie.

"Participate, Lord Governor!"

Ma Mingjie also immediately followed suit.

"It's Ma Baihu, we're all brothers. No need to be polite. Let's take full control of the General's Mansion first, and then we'll talk in detail." Lin Feng arranged.

"Yes!" Ma Mingjie immediately accepted the order. He had already heard that this was the voice coming from the black box, and he was extremely excited inside.

In ancient times, reverence for destiny, miracles, etc. was still very high. Ma Mingjie personally experienced the magic of Lin Feng, so naturally he had great respect for him.

When Lin Feng and his party rushed into the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, He Shijie put on his clothes and staggered out with a few soldiers.

"Take it!" Lin Feng ordered.

Ma Mingjie stepped forward first, kicked He Shijie down and held him down.

"Ma Mingjie, how dare you commit rebellion. This is a serious crime against the nine clans." After He Shijie saw the person clearly, he thought it was Ma Mingjie who was dissatisfied with being demoted and started the rebellion.

"General He, let me meet you. I am Lin Feng, the magistrate of Fugu County." Lin Feng stepped forward and introduced himself.

"Lin Feng, it turns out you rebelled!" He Shijie suddenly realized.

"Rebellion, why do you have to say it so harshly? We are upholding justice for heaven, bringing order to chaos, and returning a peaceful world to the people!" Lin Feng said sternly.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors will be punished by everyone. You will not end well." He Shijie said firmly.

"Haha, you can't see whether we will end well or not. Someone, drag me out and chop me down!" Lin Feng ordered.

"Ah, Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, please be merciful and spare my life. From now on, I will always obey your orders!" He Shijie was dumbfounded when he heard this. After all, he was a general. If he was caught, wouldn't he be able to surrender to Corporal Xian?

Why do you want to behead someone if they disagree with you? Oh my god, this is so scary. He immediately surrendered and began to cry and beg for mercy. There were several beautiful concubines at home, how could they die so easily.

Ma Mingjie came over at this time and said: "Sir, there are still about a thousand soldiers and horses in Yulin City. These soldiers and horses often fight against the Mongolian Tatars, and they still have a certain fighting capacity. I suggest not to kill him yet, but you can take He Shijie to persuade him to surrender. , This can reduce our casualties."

As soon as He Shijie heard someone begging for mercy on his behalf, he immediately crawled over and said, "Yes, yes, the officers and soldiers in Chengli are all my confidants. I can make them surrender. Master Lin, please spare me."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let me spare your life for the time being. Ma Baihu, you and Guo Zheng escort He Shijie to the military camp in the city to persuade him to surrender. If the effect is good, you can consider sparing his life."

"Yes!" Ma Mingjie and Guo Zheng took the order and left.

"Xiaoyu, grab a housekeeper from Ma Mansion and ask them where their treasury is?" Lin Feng ordered. He hadn't raided the house or collected money for a long time. The small treasury in the space was drying up day by day. Extremely hungry and thirsty.

"Yes, I'll do it immediately!" Fang Xiaoyu has been following Lin Feng, so she naturally knows his hobbies.

Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward and picked up a soldier and asked, "Do you know the location of the treasury of the General's Mansion?"

"I, I..." The soldier hesitated, trying to hide it.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't have the patience to waste time with him, so he chopped it off with one strike, then took out the next one and asked.

The soldier was frightened a long time ago and said quickly: "There are two warehouses in the General's Mansion, one is the public warehouse, which is in the building next to it, covering the entire floor.

The other one is the private treasury of General He. I heard that it is in the room where he lives. I don’t know the details. The man in the white gown over there is the housekeeper of the house. He must know. " Fang Xiaoyu put down the soldier and walked towards the steward in white shirt.

The housekeeper crawled out and said, "Master, please don't kill me. I know where the warehouse is and I will take you there right away."

The house where He Shijie lives is a two-story building built by a small lake. In front of the lake is a large rockery, and the scenery is very beautiful.

When they arrived at the building, the white-shirted butler did not enter the building. Instead, he walked in front of the rockery, removed a stone slab, inserted the key and turned it.

There was a "creak".

The rockery was pushed away from the middle, revealing a doorway, and there was a cave inside.

"You go ahead." Lin Feng ordered, pushing the white-shirted butler in.

This is also to prevent any mechanism in the cave, and the rebellion is imminent, so we must be careful in everything, but not to capsize in the gutter.

Fortunately, there were no mechanisms in the cave, so I passed the doorway made of rockery smoothly. The inside suddenly opened up, revealing a warehouse filled with rows of shelves and boxes.

Lin Feng took a look, what a good guy, the quantity was at least two or three times that of the Guo family's warehouse in Fugu.

He first waved his hand and knocked out the white-shirted butler with a single blow. Then, after thinking about it, he broke his neck. This kind of person was of no use keeping him, and he could easily expose the secrets of He Shenjiang's property.

After dealing with the butler, Lin Feng carefully checked the warehouse.

In front of the warehouse were boxes of gold and silver. I counted them. There are a total of nineteen large silver boxes, each containing one thousand taels of silver.

There are four small boxes containing gold. Each box is about 300 taels, totaling 1,200 taels of gold.

The combined value of gold and silver is more than 30,000 taels. This He Shijie is really a good money-maker.

Behind the warehouse are three rows of shelves, displaying a variety of rare treasures, including jade, jade, coral, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, precious medicinal materials, etc., as well as several fire guns purchased from the West.

There are dozens of jars of aged wine in the corner at the back. Looking at the labels, they are over 20 years old.

After Lin Feng looked around, he collected 20,000 taels worth of gold and silver and brought it into the space. He also picked up a few other items that looked more valuable.

The rest was left in the treasury. After the war, money would be needed whether for reward or pension, so it was impossible not to capture anything at all.

After coming out of He Shijie's private treasury, Lin Feng asked Fang Xiaoyu to send someone to drag out the body of the housekeeper of He's house, then lock the door of the treasury and collect it later.

Then Lin Feng walked into He Shijie's room. The room was in a mess, filled with the atmosphere of He Da Shen's debauchery last night and the chaos of getting up and getting dressed just now.

Lin Feng asked a personal guard to take away the top girl in Yihongyuan who shrank into a ball with fear, and then he searched the room again.

In a hidden cabinet, I found a small box of gold and silver notes. I counted about ten thousand to two taels, and of course I accepted them without hesitation.

There were also some letters in the cabinet, including a reply written to him by Chen Jiace, the new magistrate of Jiazhou. After reading it, Lin Feng understood why the state government suddenly came to investigate the Liu family. It turned out that He Shijie had asked Chen Jiace to handle it.

After walking out of He Shijie's room, Lin Feng asked Fang Xiaoyu to open the public treasury of the General's Mansion.

The area inside is very large, about more than 200 square meters, and is divided into several warehouses, which are basically military supplies.

Lin Feng looked around and saw that there were about 2,000 kilograms of food, 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder, more than ten cannons, more than a hundred matchlocks, and other bows, arrows, swords, and armors that were too numerous to count at the moment.

As an important border town, Yulin City has enough military supplies stored there.

It's a pity that He Shijie has no interest in military matters. He would rather let a large amount of ordnance materials be stored in the warehouse than build an army properly.

But this also happened to be cheaper for Lin Feng, otherwise if all these equipment were armed into an army, it would not be so easy to attack Yulin City.

When Lin Feng returned to the lobby of the General's Mansion after checking the public treasury, Song Jilie, Guo Zheng, Ma Mingjie and others had already returned.

Lin Feng asked everyone to sit down and asked: "How is it? The city is under control."

"Sir, Yulin City is completely under control. The resistance encountered when attacking the largest military camp in the city was relatively strong. Guo Zheng and Ma Baihu escorted He Shijie over, and they surrendered quickly." Song Jilie replied.

"Guo Zheng and Ma Baihu made great contributions in this battle." Lin Feng praised.

"Everywhere is arranged by adults." Guo Zheng and others said modestly.

"Okay, everyone deserves credit for the successful capture of Yulin City. We will reward them based on their merits. How are our casualties?" Lin Feng then asked.

"The overall casualties were okay. The brothers from the escort battalion who entered the city early to seize the gate had a hard time resisting at the city gate. Fifty brothers suffered more than thirty casualties.

The Second Battalion of our escort did not suffer many casualties during the attack on the city. We mainly suffered casualties of forty or fifty brothers when we captured the military camp in the city. Fortunately, we successfully surrendered quickly. While cleaning several important parts of the city, another dozen brothers were killed or wounded.

In total, our Zhenming Army suffered about a hundred casualties when they captured Yulin City. The specific number needs further statistics. "

"What about the situation of annihilating the enemy?
  "There were more than 2,000 defenders in the city, and a thousand were mobilized out of the city. We killed and wounded more than 100 defenders at the gate of the city. Brother Ma took away more than 50 people and captured more than 700 Names. Some others are probably hiding or have fled to residential buildings." Song Jilie continued to report.

"Mingjie, are there any available talents among the captured defenders?" Lin Feng was in short supply of talents, so he asked first.

"Sir, those who hold official positions above a thousand households in Yulin Guards all follow He Shijie to embezzle military pay, eat, drink and have fun, otherwise they will not be able to survive.

There are still some among the hundreds of households who can train troops. For example, Li Yi from the Hundred Households in Changle Fort and Lu Jun from the Hundred Households in Jingbian Camp are both good.

Following the example, most of the soldiers in the guard station have no intention of training, and they spend all day thinking about flattering and getting benefits. However, there should be about one third of the soldiers who are relatively honest and can still be used. "Ma Mingjie obviously understood the situation relatively well and made a detailed report.

"Mingjie is very good. He is very familiar with the situation. Your joining this time is a big gain for our Zhenming Army in attacking Yulin City. In this way, you will assist the Song Jilie Battalion Commander in organizing the screening of the captured defenders as soon as possible. It is a heinous crime. Kill a group of them, recruit those who are available for training, and later enrich our Zhenming Army. All other useless people will be dismissed." Lin Feng ordered.

"Understood!" Song Jilie and Ma Mingjie responded.

"Qian Zhuo." Lin Feng called.

"Here!" Qian Zhuo, deputy captain of the Guards, replied as he stepped out of the queue.

"You lead people to seal and protect the warehouse of the Councilor's Mansion, organize a thorough search of this courtyard, gather He Shijie's family members in a side courtyard, and free up this place to serve as our temporary headquarters." Lin Feng explained.

"Understood!" Chandra responded.

"Then let's go work separately and come back tomorrow morning to discuss some matters." Lin Feng said.

"Yes!" Everyone dispersed in response.

　I finally captured Yulin City. I will continue to update today. Please support me.
