Chapter 92
Two days later, at noon, the four warships Li Xin was riding slowly docked at Huaiyinyi Wharf. Affected by the war, it was winter again. There were no canal ships going north in the downstream, and the river surface was deserted.
However, Eunuch Zhang was very excited. As soon as he got ashore, he laughed and said, "Our family is finally back!" Then he seemed to think of something again, his face froze, and he bowed humbly to Li Xin: "Commander, please come in there!"
"Eunuch Zhang, please come together!"
Li Xin smiled and stretched out his hand, walking side by side with Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang didn't dare to say that he was afraid, but a secret resentment flashed in the small mung bean's eyes.
The group walked towards the city gate, and there were more than ten large trucks accompanying him. The ruts made deep marks on the ground. Eunuch Zhang couldn't help but ask: "What are you still bringing in Huai'an when the commander comes to Huai'an?"
Li Xin laughed: "Those who know me are Eunuch Zhang, and there are also some New Year gifts brought to Caopu as a plea for apology."
Eunuch Zhang smiled slightly without a smile.
The gatekeeper Ding had been instructed and did not make things difficult for interrogation. The convoy easily approached the city gate, and there were sparse people in the city going out. Li Xin said intimately and suddenly smiled: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for leading the way. Students will be rewarded in the future, but you have to feel wronged for the time being, so as not to let you explain it." As he said that, he waved his hand back!
Two black mouths pointed at Eunuch Zhang's head. Not only did he stop, but all the soldiers guarding the gate were stunned. Eunuch Zhang immediately shouted loudly: "Commander, why are you?"
Li Xin said coldly: "Eunuch Zhang, I offended you. I am doing this for your own good. You will take our revolutionary army into the city. If you don't suffer a little, how can Chongzhen forgive you? Everyone is tied up. I, Li Xin, advise everyone not to scream and move, otherwise your brothers may accidentally hurt others in a hurry!"
Eunuch Zhang seemed to have thought of something, his whole body trembled, and his face turned gray!
The soldiers guarding the gate were pointed at the gun with bayonets, but did not resist, and let them be tied up. Some people even shouted with honor: "Commander, I, Lao San, have you captured again!"
Someone said again: "Master Commander, you were caught in Gaoyou the last time. Because my family is young in Huai'an, I can't be your soldier. Today you are here to attack Huai'an. This is great. We are all willing to be your soldier!"
The others talked and expressed their opinions one after another.
Li Xin was speechless. He didn't expect that he had such appeal, and that the soldiers from the Forward Battalion and the Personal Guard Company had their guns sank.
"Commander-in-Chief, I don't think they are perfunctory. The morale of the army is available. Why don't they... take the opportunity to capture Huai'an?"
He Hu suggested.
Li Xin was also moved for a moment, but still shook his head: "Huai'an has a large population. With our little force, it will take a long time to stabilize Huai'an. Chongzhen cannot give us this time. He will definitely counterattack wildly. At that time, the inside and outside will be very passive. Gaoyou is different, with only tens of thousands of people, and it is not as important as Huai'an. We don't need to anger Chongzhen too much, and we should not be too arrogant!"
As he said that, he bowed to the gatekeepers and said, "I, Li Xin, thanked me, thanks to my brothers. At present, our revolutionary army does not have the conditions to occupy Huai'an, so I can only say sorry to everyone. But please rest assured that Huai'an will be taken sooner or later, and we will not be dormant for too long. But today we can only give you some compensation when you leave. Now we are all squatting outside the city gate so that we will not be able to get bullets without eyeballs."
"Let's listen to the commander!"
A group of guards at the city gate rushed outside the city gate and squatted down, without any concern that the Revolutionary Army would be detrimental to them.
"Quick, arrange it!"
Li Xin waved his hand violently.
The soldiers pushed the vehicles into three door openings and arranged them.
The cars in front were loaded with sandbags. After they were moved out, they were stacked on the spot. Three Folang machine cannons were placed behind. A group of people who were about to leave the city came to the door. Seeing this scene, they shouted loudly and quickly give way!
Li Xinlan's explanation gave Huang Hai a look.
Huang Hai picked up a flintlock rifle, diagonally turned mid-air, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
As the gunshots sounded, screams rose everywhere, and the crowds scattered like birds and beasts.
Fire a gun to warn, the effect is really good!
...
"What? Li Xin blocked the city gate?"
Shi Kefa got the reward and stood up in shock!
His plan was to lure Li Xin into Huai'an. As long as he entered the city, wouldn't he let him control it? But what did Li Xin do when he blocked the city gate?
Xu Shao hurriedly said: "Mao Guardian, Commander Li has probably seen through the strategy of the mao Guardian, and used the strategy to seize the city gate. Perhaps his reinforcements are behind him. He is coming for Huai'an, and the mao Guardian will make a decision!"
"Call the troops and follow the headquarters!"
Shi Kefa was anxious and waved his hand to run out.
Yes, how can he not be anxious? The governor of the Ming Dynasty, Xinjiang minister, would be taken to Xishi for execution!
In just a moment, Shi Kefa rushed over with hundreds of soldiers. In fact, he didn't need to dispatch troops. Each city gate was the focus of the guards. As the revolutionary army had just arranged the chariot formation, the red barbarian cannons had already been carried over, and a group of soldiers were clamoring, and the guns were adjusting towards the city gate.
"Caofu, you can fire a fire later!"
A general bowed to Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa looked forward, and there were mud and sandbags stacked in front of the city gate, so that he could not see the layout inside clearly. However, he could still see Li Xin in a silence.
"Let's wait!"
Shi Kefa waved his hand to stop him and said, "He will tell me when I go to the headquarters!"
"Be careful!"
Xu Shao advised.
“Hey~~”
Shi Kefa waved his hand: "If Commander Li wants to kill me, he will not let me come back that day. I will talk to him!" As he said that, he pulled his horse forward.
Xu Shao gritted his teeth and followed with a few people.
"Shi Kefa is here!"
Huang Hai shouted softly.
Li Xin nodded and bowed and smiled, "Students have seen Caofu!"
"snort!"
Shi Kefa didn't get off the horse and snorted: "Li Xin, our department is kind enough to invite you, but what did you do?"
He Hu waved his hand and said, "Old Man Shi, don't try to imprison the Commander-in-Chief into the city. Although the Commander-in-Chief believes in you, so many of our brothers don't believe in you. If you are really sincere, please bring the test questions. The Commander-in-Chief takes the exam in the city gate. If you come to Gaoyou to be a guest in the future, I, He, apologize to you."
"Li Xin, what do you mean?"
Shi Kefa knew that he could not bring Li Xin into the city, but he still asked unwillingly.
Li Xin first threw a look of praise to He Hu, and then said, "I would like to ask Caopu for forgiveness. The students don't want to be so happy. However, the brothers are kind, and the students make sense to think about it. After all, it is understandable that students are cautious when pointing at the students for dinner. I believe Caopu can understand it. In the future, Caopu comes to Gaoyou for inspection, and the students must sweep the bed and wait!"
Shi Kefa felt a little embarrassed. After all, his heart was not dark yet. Li Xin kept saying apologizing, and he was embarrassed to turn against him, but it wouldn't work like this.
"Hey, there is!"
Shi Kefa suddenly had an idea and called out: "Since that's the case, our department will not force you. Please ask Mr. Li to release Mr. Zhang back first."
"Let it go!"
Li Xin turned around and waved.
"Um?"
Two soldiers pushed Eunuch Zhang.
Chapter completed!
