There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

About ten kilometers outside Yulin City.

A well-organized army was standing in the night, like a tiger pouncing on Yulin City not far away at any time.

This is the first unit of the Second Mobile Combat Brigade led by Lin Feng himself, with Deng Hao as the battalion commander and some officers and soldiers of the brigade, with a total of 1200 people.

Recently, through recruitment and recruitment, all three battalions of the Second Mobile Combat Brigade have been expanded to 1,000 men. Zhou Rui led one battalion to garrison Linxian, left one battalion to garrison Jiazhou, and brought out the rest.

Including Lin Feng's personal guards, it has now been expanded to 300 people, a total of 1500 people, ready to capture Yulin City again.

After Lin Feng occupied Yulin City last time, he gave up because he considered that the city was too far away from Fugu and would not be easy to hold on to.

Now the situation is different. The Zhenming Army has occupied Jiazhou and Suidezhou in the south. Yulin City has become a guard city embedded in Lin Feng's territory in the north. If it is not captured as soon as possible, it will threaten Jiazhou's security from the north.

Moreover, it is much closer from Jiazhou to Yulin. It is less than 100 kilometers away along the valley on one side of the Jiazhou River.

At the marching speed of the Zhenming Army, they arrived near Yulin City in less than two days after leaving Jiazhou.

Lin Feng was currently convening a pre-war military meeting to study how to attack Yulin City.

Several people sat around a tent. Lin Feng first asked: "Guo Zheng, where is Ma Mingjie's Shenmu Combat Brigade?"

Guo Zheng pointed to the map in the middle of the tent and said: "We have just contacted, and the horse brigade general has arrived about ten kilometers east of Yulin City and is waiting for our instructions at any time."

"Sir, I just sent sentry horses to investigate. Yulin City is still relatively strong, and the guards on the city walls are more vigilant. It is still relatively difficult to attack by force." Battalion Commander Deng Hao said.

"We have internal support in Yulin City, and this time we will mainly focus on sneak attacks, not forceful attacks.

In order to divert the attention of the enemies in the city, Lu Jun, you are responsible for notifying Ma Mingjie and asking him to pretend to attack the east gate of Yulin City at ten o'clock in the evening, that is, two hours later, so that the momentum can be bigger. "

"Yes!" Chief of Staff Zan Hua Lu Jun replied.

"Guo Zheng, you inform the Tingfengwei Intelligence Station in the city to find He Shijie and ask him to find a way to open the south gate at night. Otherwise, his letter of allegiance will be spread, and he will be executed in Lingchi after Yulin City is captured." Lin Feng continued. .

"Understood. I have arranged for Ma Ang to take a Baili Tong into the city in the afternoon. I will immediately ask him to send someone to contact He Shijie." Guo Zheng replied.

In Yulin City, in a side courtyard next to the General's Mansion, General He Shijie was drinking in his room.

After the Shaanxi capital commander Peng Qing led the defeated army that failed to attack Shenmu and retreated to Yulin City, he naturally occupied the best general mansion in the city.

On the grounds that the main force of the Yulin Guards had been defeated by Lin Feng, he was deprived of his command rights and ordered to suspend his duties for inspection pending court action.

He Shijie could only temporarily move to a side courtyard nearby. This courtyard originally belonged to Liu Jingsheng, a Qiangbao household. After Liu's death, He Shijie's house and concubine were occupied by He Shijie.

After He Shijie was dismissed, he could only bring a few hard-core subordinates to get together and drink. Several of them had surrendered together when Yulin City was invaded, so they were friends from the same school.

"Brother, this Peng Dusi has dismissed you from your post on the grounds that we lost the war, as if they won the war themselves." A Qian general named He Zhen complained. This man is He Shijie's cousin, absolutely best friend.

"Yes, I suffered such a huge defeat. More than 10,000 people were killed, and yet they came to our Yulin City to show their dominance." Another commander named Wu Shoequn also agreed.

"Hey, what can we do if a senior official crushes someone to death?" He Shijie said helplessly.

"How about we go against it? Anyway, there are civil unrest everywhere in Shaanxi. This time Lin Feng's Zhenming Army defeated the Shaanxi Dusi. I don't think Shaanxi can be pacified." He Zhen said.

When He Shijie heard this, he thought, yes, he had already surrendered to Lin Feng. He was still worried about his official position in the imperial court. It was only right to think about how to catch Peng Qing.

"No, that Zhuang Hong joined Peng Dusi when he came back, and Cao Xiong, the commander-in-chief, is also very tight on the army. The manpower we can use now is limited, and I'm afraid we are no match." Wu Shoequn raised an objection.

"This is also true. Let's take a look now and then talk about it." He Shijie immediately backed down when he saw that he was not sure.

At this time, the soldier at the door ran in and said: "Sir, there is an old friend of Fugu outside who claims to be you and comes to see you."

"An old friend of Fugu? Lin Feng, the magistrate of Fugu County, is he from the Zhenming Army?" He Shijie muttered in his heart, and then quickly said: "Please come in quickly."

After a while, Bi Zhihang from Zhenmingjunfugu Intelligence Station walked in.

He glanced at the people present and said, "Bi Zhihang, an old friend of Fugu, is paying homage to the General. I wonder if I can speak alone?"

"These days we are all brothers of life and death, just say whatever you want." He Shijie absolutely trusted these hardcore guys.

"Master Lin asked me to ask General He, whether the things you promised back then are still true? If not, I won't talk nonsense." Bi Zhihang asked.

When He Shijie heard that he was indeed from the Zhenming Army, he had been hearing news about the Zhenming Army's massacres every day. In addition, he had recently received pressure from Peng Dusi. He no longer had the feeling of being forced and helpless, and he couldn't wait to join the Zhenming Army. . So he immediately replied: "Of course it counts. I wonder what Governor Lin's instructions are?"

When Bi Zhihang heard that He Shijie called Lin Feng the governor, he definitely wanted to join him. So he said: "We, the Zhenming Army, are preparing to attack Yulin City again at night. The Governor has instructed you to find a way to open the south city gate. Once the work is completed, you will be rewarded based on your merits."

"Are you from the Zhenming Army? Brother, have you defected there a long time ago?" He Zhen said in surprise.

"Haha, I have contacted Governor Lin a long time ago. Everyone will follow me there. Finally, you don't have to suffer from Peng Qing's anger." He Shijie finally started to tremble.

"Since General He Shen is so trustworthy, I will wait for your good news." Bi Zhihang said.

"May I ask your envoy, what time will the south gate be opened in the evening?" He Shijie asked quickly.

"In half an hour, our Zhenming Army will pretend to attack the east gate. You can take the opportunity to open the south gate. Is there any problem?" Bi Zhihang asked.

"No problem, the person guarding the south gate happens to be my brother from the General's Mansion." After all, He Shijie has deep roots in Yulin City and still has many close friends.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "boom, boom, boom" of artillery from the direction of the East City Gate. It seemed that the Zhenming Army had begun a feint attack.

He Shijie didn't waste any time and quickly told his cousin He Zhen to take someone to the south gate to open the door. Bi Zhihang also followed him there to facilitate contact.

At this time, Yulin City, Shenjiang Mansion.

Peng Qing heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of Dongcheng and immediately summoned a few cronies to understand the situation.

"Sir, the East Gate was attacked by the Zhenming Army. The enemy had at least dozens of artillery pieces. I suggest strengthening the defense of the East Gate as soon as possible." Commander Cao Xiong came over and reported.

"Okay, which one of you is willing to lead a team to the east gate to support?" Peng Qing asked.

"Sir, let me go. We Xi'an Vanguard still have about 500 people. Let's go and provide support first." Cai Jiawang, the commander of Xi'an Vanguard who had followed him all the way to escape, stood up and asked for orders in order to atone for his sins.

"Okay, then please ask Commander Cai to go there first, and report any situation at any time." Peng Qing ordered.

"Sir, I suggest that the defense of several other city gates should be strengthened at the same time to prevent the bandits from attacking from the east to the west." Zhuang Hong, the original Yulin Guard guerrilla, said.

"Zhuang Guerrilla's words are reasonable, but our troops are limited and must be concentrated. Which gates do you think we should focus on defending?" Peng Qing asked.

"Sir, the east gate of Yulin City faces the direction of Shenmu. It is currently under enemy attack. It must be strengthened. The south gate faces the direction of Jiazhou. It is not ruled out that there are enemy ambush here. It also needs to be strengthened. The north gate and west gate also need to be strengthened. Since we are not facing the enemy, I think we can not strengthen it for the time being." Zhuang Hong suggested.

"Okay, then Zhuang Youyi will go to the south gate." Peng Qing then ordered.

"Yes!" Cai Jiawang and Zhuang Hong took the order and left.

Most of the troops directly under Zhuang Hong were killed outside Yulin City last time, and there are currently only thirty-four of them. He didn't have much money to expand his troops, so he could only take this small group to the south gate.

As soon as he arrived near the south gate, Zhuang Hong found that Chief Qian He Zhen had also brought over a hundred people. He was also puzzled that He Shijie had been dismissed, but he could still actively help defend the city.

When He Zhen saw Zhuang Hong coming, his heart skipped a beat. Something bad might have happened. Zhuang Hong had taken refuge with Peng Qing after returning to Yulin. There was no way he was here to help He Shijie open the city gate.

So he decided to take the initiative and shouted: "Zhuang Hong betrayed General He Shen, let's kill this guy who cheated on him."

He rushed forward with about a hundred people. Zhuang Hong and others were stunned, and a dozen of them were cut down in an instant. The rest immediately fought back.

Although the men Zhuang Hong led were few, they were all capable of fighting. Twenty against one hundred, they actually withstood the attack.

When He Zhen saw that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted: "Shen Wei, He Shen will order you to open the city gate immediately to welcome Master Wang into the city."

Only then did Zhuang Hong realize that He Shijie had rebelled, and he quickly stopped him loudly: "On the order of Peng Dusi, we are going to capture the traitor. Let's go together."

Shen Wei, the guard guarding the city gate, was a little confused at this time. He was He Shijie's man, so he should listen to him, but now that there was a Shaanxi Dusi in the city, he was a little hesitant about what to do.

"Shen Wei, Peng Qing has been defeated. All 15,000 Shaanxi Dusi people are gone. Are you going to follow him to death? General He Shen has already found a retreat for the brothers and immediately opened the city gate." He Zhen took a look. This kid actually hesitated and immediately persuaded loudly.

Shen Wei hesitated for a moment, but decided to listen to He Shijie. After all, everyone knew that Shaanxi Dusi was defeated. So, he made up his mind and shouted: "Open the city gate!"

The soldier guarding the city didn't care whether you were in charge or not. He only listened to his direct superiors. When he heard Shen Wei say to open the city gate, he removed the gate and slowly opened the city gate.

"Traitors, they are all traitors!" When Zhuang Hong saw that there was nothing he could do, he immediately turned around and ran away. (End of chapter)
