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

Outside Yulin City.

Beside the city gate shrouded in darkness, Lin Feng was already waiting with the Second Mobile Combat Brigade.

With a "creak" sound, the city gate slowly opened.

"Charge!" Lin Feng ordered.

A sentry commander from Deng Hao's combat camp rushed in first with a team of troops.

Inside the city gate, He Zhen had already beaten Zhuang Hong away. In order to prevent an accident, he did not chase him, but waited at the city gate.

Seeing a group of Zhenming Army soldiers rushing in, Bi Zhihang on the side immediately shouted: "One of our own, one of our own! Brothers of the Zhenming Army, come in quickly."

"Who are you?" asked the leading sentry.

"I am Bi Zhihang from the Yulin City Liaison Station of Tingfeng Guard. I have been ordered by Governor Lin to escort you into the city. This is Mr. Qian He Zhen from Yulin Guard. It was he who opened the city gate." Bi Zhihang introduced.

"Thank you to the brothers of Tingfengwei. This is a red rope. Let the Ming army brothers tie it to their left arms anyway, so as not to be unable to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."

After the sentry officer of the mobile battalion finished speaking, he asked one of his soldiers to hand He Zhen a red rope and asked He Zhen and the others to tie it on his left arm to avoid accidental injury.

Then the sentry sent people to control the city gate, and then sent a safety signal to the outside of the city.

Deng Hao immediately rushed into Yulin City with his mobile battalion, preparing to attack the east gate first and let Ma Mingjie's Shenmu Combat Brigade come in.

Otherwise, it would not be enough to control the entire Yulin City just by relying on them to camp a thousand people.

Bi Zhihang asked He Zhen and others to lead the way and led Deng Hao's mobile battalion to the east gate. He led a small group of people to stay and wait for Lin Feng and the others.

Not long after, Lin Feng also entered the city with his personal guards, preparing to capture the thieves first and the king, and occupy the general's mansion. Bi Zhihang was naturally responsible for leading the way.

Yulin City, Shenjiang Mansion.

Zhuang Hong ran in panting and shouted: "Master Dusi, there are traitors in the city. The south gate of Yulin City has been opened, and the enemy is about to enter the city."

"What, the city gate was opened, who did it?" Peng Qing said in shock.

"It's Mr. Qian He Zhen of Yulin Guard. He is He Shijie's cousin. He Shijie must have rebelled. I think he is unreliable. Last time the rebels clearly entered the city, but he was still fine. It turned out that he had surrendered long ago. Rebels." Zhuang Hong analyzed.

"This traitor, I should have killed him first if I had known." Peng Qing also regretted it at this time. Knowing that this guy couldn't be used, he had already dismissed him from his post. Unexpectedly, he still became an internal agent.

"Sir, it doesn't matter who can open the city gate now. We must immediately organize people to retake the south gate, otherwise Yulin City will be lost." Commander Cao Xiong said.

"Yes, Cao Qianshi, you immediately lead a thousand soldiers and horses directly under Dusi to the south city gate and block the enemy army. Zhuang Hong, you immediately organize the defense of the General's Mansion. It is estimated that the enemy army will come soon. "Peng Qing immediately commanded. At this time, we can only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Yes!" The two of them took the order and left.

Cao Xiong left the General's Mansion and went to the nearby military camp to summon the last remaining thousand reserves of Shaanxi Dusi to prepare to recapture the South City Gate.

Zhuang Hong took his remaining 20 or so subordinates, and Peng Qing also gave him more than 200 guards to command. He also pieced together some guards and servants from the General's Mansion, and organized more than 300 people. The defensive team quickly blocked the door and set up obstacles, intending to resist the Zhenming Army's attack on the General's Mansion.

Needless to say, Zhuang Hong was quite capable. In less than half an hour, he had already built a line of defense at the main entrance of the General's Mansion.

But before he could make complete arrangements, Lin Feng and his personal guards had arrived, and Bi Zhihang and He Shijie also rushed over from the side courtyard.

Lin Feng took a look at the fortifications at the gate of the General's Mansion and thought to himself that he was still a step too late. It seemed that he could only attack by force.

At this time, He Shijie came over and said: "See, Lord Governor, we don't need to attack from the main entrance. I know there is a hidden door on the west side of the General's Mansion that you can enter, which is convenient for internal and external attacks."

"Oh, don't Peng Qing and the others know about this side door?" Lin Feng asked.

"I don't think you know about this. This door is very hidden. No one except a few guards around me knows about it." This door was specially set up by He Shijie so that he could sneak out at night to look for flowers and meet with outsiders. Of course, others don't know.

"Haha, General He Shen is usually very thoughtful. Fang Xiaoyu, take a hundred personal guards and follow General He Shen through the small door. The others attack the main entrance to attract the enemy's attention and cover Fang Xiaoyu and the others." Lin Feng ordered.

"Yes!"

Fang Xiaoyu immediately led a hundred people and left with He Shijie. The other guards raised their Type 2 lightning guns and fired fiercely.

The rate of fire of the second-type lightning gun was 2-3 rounds per minute, which made the defenders led by Zhuang Hong unable to lift their heads, and the casualties also increased rapidly.

"Get down, get down!" Zhuang Hong shouted immediately when he saw that there were too many casualties.

Seeing that the defenders were lying down, Lin Feng immediately organized a wave of personal guards to attack. Zhuang Hong still had command experience. When he heard the sound of the Zhenming Army's gunfire stopped, he knew that a charge was definitely going to be launched.

Immediately ordered all the defenders to fight back with muskets and bows and arrows. Peng Qing's escort was also very effective in fighting. The muskets and bows and arrows were all shot very accurately, and they quickly caused more than ten casualties to Lin Feng's personal guards.

"Get down! Cover fire!" Lin Feng ordered. The firecrackers covering behind seized the opportunity and opened fire immediately. The firecrackers, which were several times denser than the Ming army, quickly suppressed them.

But this test attack also failed, and Lin Feng asked the commandos to withdraw first. He had already sent Fang Xiaoyu to outflank the enemy from the rear, so there was no need to increase casualties by fighting in the front.

Sure enough, after less than two rounds of stalemate, the familiar sound of lightning type II firecrackers sounded from the rear of the Ming army. Fang Xiaoyu and his troops arrived from behind, and the defenders led by Zhuang Hong immediately fell into chaos.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity and ordered the entire Guards force to attack. They broke through the Ming army's defense line and broke into the General's Mansion.

As soon as the Ming army's defense line collapsed, these defenders exposed the outstanding shortcomings of the guards' inability to fight against the wind, and immediately began to flee in all directions.

As soon as Zhuang Hong saw that things had come to this, Yulin City's defeat was certain, and no matter how hard he tried, it would be of no avail, he took out his sword and prepared to kill himself.

He just put the sword to his neck, ready to kill him. Suddenly, the guard next to him snatched the sword and said to him: "Sir, you have done your best for the court, and the next step is to consider your wife, children, and children at home. Don't commit suicide."

Suicide also requires courage. As soon as he was interrupted, Zhuang Hong also lost the energy to continue committing suicide and slumped down in despair.

Lin Feng saw clearly from not far away. This was the first general he had encountered who wanted to commit suicide to serve the Ming Court. He also had good commanding skills, so he seemed to be a useful talent.

So he was led by his personal guards and walked over, preparing to surrender.

When Zhuang Hong's guards saw Lin Feng and others approaching, they immediately put down their weapons and expressed their willingness to surrender.

"Who is this general?" Lin Feng asked.

"Sir, this is Zhuang Hong, a guerrilla from Yulin City." The guard on the side introduced.

"Zhuang Youyi, I am Lin Feng, the governor of the Zhenming Army. I see that you have good command skills and the courage to fight for the country. Why not leave a useful body behind and follow us to fight against the Tatars and protect the people?" Lin Feng persuaded.

"Are you Lin Feng? How dare you personally lead the team to attack Yulin City?"

"Why don't you dare to do this? The first time we attacked Yulin City, our strength was even weaker at that time. I personally led the team here and defeated a thousand officers and soldiers of Zhuang guerrillas outside the city."

"The commander-in-chief is so brave and his arrangements are so sophisticated. We are well defeated."

"Does Guerrilla Zhuang have any intention of joining our Zhenming Army and building a great cause together?" Lin Feng continued to persuade.

"Is what Mr. Lin said about fighting against the Tatars and protecting the people true?" Zhuang Hong asked.

"When did you hear that our Zhenming Army burned, killed, and looted after they captured the city? The Tatars are our Han people's biggest enemy, and I will naturally fight them to the end." Lin Feng replied.

"That's not true. I have heard that the Zhenming Army has strict discipline and is definitely not comparable to the bandits. If this is true, the general will be willing to surrender." Zhuang Hong said. In recent years, he has also realized that there is no way to serve the country in the Ming Army. In addition, I was reluctant to leave my wife and children behind, so I surrendered. It was time to change my family.

"Okay, welcome Zhuang Youyi to join our Zhenming Army. We will talk later. Let's clean up the General's Mansion first," Lin Feng said.

The group came to the lobby of the General's Mansion and found that Peng Qing had been hanged from the beam.

It turned out that Peng Dusi discovered that the Zhenming Army had already invaded the General's Mansion, and failure was inevitable. He did not want to escape anymore, and his family and children were all in Xi'an. If he chose to surrender, his family would definitely be affected. Anyway, he is getting older, so it is better to die.

Lin Feng glanced at Peng Qing hanging on the beam and felt that he was a rare loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. So he said: "Untie Peng Dusi, prepare a better coffin, and return the body to the Ming army when the time comes. Please ask General Zhuang to handle this matter."

"Thank you for treating Peng Dusi's posthumous affairs so kindly!" Zhuang Hong felt that Lin Feng's handling of this matter was very humane and gave him face, so he said gratefully.

Deng Hao led the mobile battalion to the direction of the east gate smoothly. The Ming army defending the east gate thought that reinforcements were coming to the city again, so they had almost no precautions.

In addition, the city gate's defense is mainly facing the outside, and the internal defense is not strong to begin with.

Xi'an vanguard commander Cai Jiawang saw the troops coming and was about to go over to say hello, but was beaten into pieces by a volley of gunfire from the Zhenming Army.

When the other Shanxi Guardsmen saw that the commander had been killed, they immediately dispersed. Deng Hao asked people to open the east gate and welcomed Ma Mingjie into the city.

After the two armies joined together, they rushed towards the military camp next to the General's Mansion. There were a thousand people led by Cao Xiong there, which was the most concentrated force in Yulin City.

Under the fierce attack of the two armies, Zhuang Hong received news that Peng Qing, the commander of the capital, had committed suicide, and Cao Xiong finally chose to surrender.

After seizing this concentrated force, Ma Mingjie and Deng Hao led their troops to the west gate and north gate respectively, and took control of the entire city with just a stick of incense.
