Chapter 73 Seduction
The waiting time was the most painful. The head of the Xu family started from the People's Army to capture Haifeng County and waited until the night of that day that the two neighbors of the Xu family were searched by the People's Army, but the Xu family did not welcome the People's Army.
"Why didn't the thief come to me?" The head of the Xu family, who was temporarily spared, had deep doubts in his mind.
Before the People's Army attacked Haifeng County, it did not collect any information about the Xu Mansion doing evil, and the Xu Mansion did not become the first target of the People's Army's home search.
After initially occupying Haifeng County, no ordinary people told the People's Army that the people from the Xu Mansion bullied them. The People's Army cannot be sure that the Xu Mansion is really not doing evil and will not send anyone to contact and appease the Xu Mansion.
I'm afraid that in the next few days, the people in the Xu Mansion will still be tortured by the changing mentality of worry and glory.
Since the People's Army captured Haifeng County and Yong'an County, the two county towns are now only allowed to enter and not exit. At the beginning, all the gates of the county town were closed to prevent residents from breaking out.
By the time all the residents stayed at their homes, the People's Army had controlled the city, the city gate was opened again, and the People's Army soldiers guarding the city wall and around the city gate had changed into Ming army's clothes, and there was no flag representing the People's Army hanging on the wall, which made people who wanted to enter the city think that the two cities had not changed at all.
The main purpose is to let the news that Haifeng County and Yong'an County were captured by the People's Army spread later, so that the People's Army had more time to prepare, increase its own strength, and then fight against the besieged Ming army.
If someone wants to enter the city, the People's Army soldiers will not be able to stop them, but after entering the city, don't think about going out for a short time.
Those who have residences in the city will return to their residences. People who do not have residences will arrange a temporary residence. Anyway, many wealthy families have been searched and many mansions have been vacant.
In the busyness, night comes, and the first night of capturing the city requires the people's army to be careful the most. The resistance forces in the two counties have not been completely cleaned up. Under the cover of the night, it is very likely that they will launch a counterattack.
On the city wall, at the city gate, and on the streets, the People's Army soldiers are constantly changing shifts and are always at the highest alert level. Whoever dares to relax at this time may face death.
Soon, a night passed, perhaps because the People's Army was defending too closely, there was no bloody conflict in the past night.
The People's Army soldiers continued to be busy with the things that were not busy yesterday, searched for evil wealthy families, united the people, and looked for blacksmiths and carpenters...
Twenty miles east of Haifeng County, the troops led by Hu Zhuang set off again after resting for a night, aiming at the Qianhu House of Haifeng, ten miles away.
Haifeng Qianhu Institution is only more than 30 miles away from Haifeng County. If the troops led by Hu Zhuang march quickly, they would be able to arrive at Haifeng Qianhu Institution before dark yesterday, but this would not be of any benefit to the battle. On the contrary, because the urgent marching consumed a lot of physical strength of the soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the troops decreased accordingly.
The troops set off, and the scouts riding horses took the lead to open the way for the troops. The large group of troops led by Hu Zhuang advanced at a constant speed.
The entire unit consists of a company of firearms and two battalions of cold weapons, plus a number of personnel from the first camp, reserve team, female barracks, medical teams, and more than one thousand combatants.
The opponent of Hu Zhuang and his troops, Haifeng Qianhu Institution, belongs to a full-scale garrison army, with more than 1,100 soldiers. Under normal circumstances, each 100 garrison army has 10 gunners, 20 swords and card players, 30 archers, and 40 spearmen.
The most important thing is that Haifeng Qianhu House is a fortress or a small city, guarding the city. With almost the same number of people, Hu Zhuang had some difficulties in wanting to capture Haifeng Qianhu House all the way, and Hu Zhuang would not lead his troops to attack Haifeng Qianhu House. If he could capture Haifeng Qianhu House, he would also suffer heavy losses.
“As planned!”
A few miles away from Haifeng Qianhu Station, Hu Zhuang issued instructions to the troops. Soon, Hu Zhuang and his men were divided into two parts.
The cold weapon troops of a battalion accelerated their speed, and at the same time the orderly team became scattered, wearing "dashed" clothes, looking like a chaotic person.
The speed of the other troops decreased slightly, and they were separated from the cold weapon troops leading the formation.
The "chaotic" Pioneer Camp is getting closer and closer to the Qianhu Station of Haifeng, and is soon discovered by Ming soldiers on the city wall.
"What's there?"
"There are enemies?!"
"There are quite a few people, but they look like a group of chaotic people. How dare the chaotic people come to us?"
"Look, I'll report to Lord Qianhu."
A chief official went down to the city wall and ran to report to the Qianhu people about the coming of the riots.
The Qianhu of Haifeng Qianhu House is named Han Yinian. He is in his thirties and looks powerful. After hearing his subordinates report on the rioters, Han Yinian was very surprised. Isn’t this a good thing hitting the door?
On weekdays, Han Yinian wanted to make meritorious service and could not find a chance, but did not want to fight with the pirates. He stayed at home, but now a weak enemy came to give him a head. Han Yinian must accept this gift.
As for why a group of rioters dared to attack the Qianhu House of Haifeng? Han Yinian was too lazy to think about it, just pretending that a dizzy rioters did not know the strength of the Qianhu House of Haifeng. They came to give away the heads. The rioters were just rioters. What could a group of mud legs know?
After thinking about it, Han Yinian ordered his opponent: "Go back quickly and tell your brothers not to fire, but don't scare away all the 'credibility'."
"Yes, sir, I'll go now." The chief official rushed over with the news of the coming of the rioters, and hurried back with the orders of the Qianhu Adults.
There are many artillery guns in Haifeng Qianhushu, with more than twenty guns, which are respectively set up on four walls, including many of the most advanced Folang machine cannons in this era (imitation).
The damage caused by shooting shots from close range cannons is very high, and one hit and one hit a large area. If solid bullets are fired from a long range, there will not be much casualties.
The Pioneer Camp originally planned to wait for the Ming army in Haifeng Qianhu Station to fire artillery. He pretended to be frightened by the artillery and fled backwards frantically, attracting the enemy to pursue them, and then gathered with the large groups of people behind to fight against the Ming army that rushed out.
Unexpectedly, the Pioneer Battalion was less than 300 meters away from the city wall, and the Ming army still did not fire. However, this was not a problem for the Pioneer Battalion. At the order of the battalion commander Lin Qizheng, the Pioneer Battalion was waiting on the spot for a short while, but did not see the Ming army, and the Pioneer Battalion retreated directly.
"The rioters are going to run away? Open the city gate and chase after you!"
With the order of Han Yinian, many soldiers rushed out of the open city gate. Han Yinian and several commanders rode out of the city together, but they did not chase after them. There were too few cavalrymen, and more than a dozen cavalry rushed towards hundreds of chaotic people. What should I do if I was accidentally injured? A group of chaotic people was just a few hundred meters away.
