9. Anzhou City collapses without a fight

Hong Jinglai looked at the man who was being escorted here, without comment. As for his claim that he was entrusted by the county magistrate to surrender, Hong Jinglai was somewhat doubtful about this.

Either you are exhausted, and surrendering at this time is normal and there is nothing to say. Or you have a keen eye for people and have been prepared for it. Before Hong Jinglai arrived, you admired him and boarded the ship in advance, which is normal.

Now there are more than 5,000 troops in the city. They haven't fought a single battle and they still occupy the Qingchuan River. Are they about to surrender?

"Who is your adult?"

"My master calls me Jin Douji!" The man kneeling on the ground said slowly and slowly.

"Jin Douji!" Hong Jinglai looked overjoyed.

Lin Shangwo, Li Zaichao, Han Wushi and others on the left and right were all surprised. This name was so familiar. It was really an old friend among Hong Jinglai's old friends.

Jin Douji, the big gangster who was rampant in Tieshan at that time, is one of the most "inspirational" typical figures in later generations. He worked his way from a gangster to two groups of nobles, and even transformed into an Anzhou County Magistrate appointed by the national court.

To a certain extent, Kim Doo-gil can be regarded as half a protagonist. It took him six years to move from a small rural town to the upper echelons of the country, and he is worthy of the word "character".

"How is County Magistrate Jin?" Hong Jinglai now believed at least five out of ten.

After all, Hong Jing can’t say for sure, but Jin Douji can still see clearly. This gangster from Tieshan is a successful and motivated person. He can’t be said to be greedy for profit, but he is definitely obsessed with fame and fortune.

of.

Now that Hong Jinglai's power and prestige are rising, he Jin Douji took a risk and played a big game, selling Anzhou, an important town on Ping'an Road, plus five thousand soldiers and horses. Such a great achievement, once Hong Jinglai succeeds, his future is boundless.

"The master is in the city, looking forward to controlling the prince's division day and night." The visitor is also a talkative person.

Since he is Jin Douji's family, there is no need to continue kneeling, and he should be immediately untied, given wine and food, money and silver, and a good meal.

After taking the people away, Hong Jinglai handed Jin Douji's letter to the generals present for everyone to see. The cannons had just been pulled up, and they hadn't even bombarded the few defenses and officers and soldiers on the other side.

I have had second thoughts about whether this matter is credible or not, and whether I should respond to Jin Douji in the city.

This was the limitation of Hong Jinglai. He knew that the officers and soldiers were in trouble, and he also knew that ordinary officers were nothing but drunkards. But Hong Jinglai never imagined that relying on the important town of Anzhou and five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, they were all "strong enemies" no matter how they looked at it.

Xu Xiang is actually just a strong man on the outside but a weak man on the inside, or in other words, he is just an empty bag with gold and jade being ruined on the outside.

Not only are they not a strong opponent, but they can also be called a mob. All they need is a gentle push from Hong Jing!

Hong Jing outside the city couldn't understand it, but Jin Douji inside the city could see it clearly!

"In my opinion, I can't believe it at all. It's better to follow the strategy and charge at the soldiers on the other side to see what they are and then make a decision." Li Zaichao returned to the enemy aggressively. He had gained experience in leading troops in the past few years.

"Brother Li is right!" Han Wushi and Jin Douji lived under the same roof. Although he knew Jin Douji to a certain extent, he also thought it was better to be on the safe side.

"Brother, where are you?" Hong Jinglai nodded and looked at Zhao Wanyong.

"Search for the beach immediately. If the opponent is vulnerable, you can act according to your plan." Zhao Wanyong also thinks so.

"Okay! That's it!"

Hong Jinglai gave the order, the troops surged, the drums of the Chinese army beat, and the bombardment stopped. For safety, Jin Shilong and Han Wushi, one on the left and one on the right, attacked the other side together.

Just when they were about to set off, they saw Xu Xiang from the south bank sending more than fifty people to attack. Everyone's hearts were moved, but luckily they didn't advance rashly. The officers and soldiers on the opposite side were indeed "powerful"! They were actually able to send death squads to attack this side.

Attack. What Jin Douji said in his letter must have been exaggerated. The officers and soldiers were obviously not vulnerable.

But what's the use of just over fifty warriors? Hong Jing came here with tens of thousands of troops, how could fifty people charge? Li Zaichao shouted, and hundreds of musketeers lined up on the river beach to face the three officers and soldiers rushing towards them in small boats.

A round of volleys was fired. Several officers and soldiers were killed immediately. Some of the remaining officers and soldiers in the rowing boats were frightened and at a loss. Some of their companions died in front of them and wanted to turn around and escape. Others thought that the shotguns would still be half full for the next reload.

There is an interval of one minute to one minute, and you must take advantage of this gap to rush to the river bank.

Of the seven or eight boats, only two actually rushed to the shore, and a dozen people jumped out. By the time they turned around, their teammates had already run back. Li Zaichao did not want to kill indiscriminately, and after hundreds of flintlock guns were pointed at them,

Send people up to persuade them to surrender. Such good cannon fodder will be locked up in the rear army and will be needed to fill gullies later.

The dozen or so people looked at the tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side, and they didn't look like they were coming in a hurry because they were not yet firmly established. They knew that the battle would not be won. Although Xu Xiang treated them well, it was still not more important than saving his own life.

Without saying a word, some people knelt down and surrendered.

At the end of the interlude, Jin Shilong and Han Wushi went into battle beating drums. More than 600 people rushed to the south bank of the river in the first round. The common people who were originally forced by Xu Xiang's soldiers to dig trenches and build low walls had long since disappeared.

As for Xu Xiang's soldiers, after experiencing the exaggerated description of the surprise attack soldiers who had just returned, they only thought that Hong Jinglai had hundreds of cannons and thousands of shotguns, and he would die if he touched them.

It’s over! It’s all over!

Xu Xiang lost all his capital of more than 300 people. Of course, he didn't know it at this time. These defeated soldiers were running, grabbing, and shouting. It was rumored that Hong Jinglai's 20,000 troops had already arrived, and there were still a few moments left.

We will attack Anzhou City.

Whoever doesn't run is a fool!

The other tribesmen who were happily outside the city saw that even Xu Xiang's own soldiers had run away. They were originally low-spirited to fight and had no burden. Wrapped in the stolen money and cloth, they did not even enter Anzhou.

Retreat to Pingjing.

As for Xu Xiang and some of the city defenders who were still in the city, they were all shaken by the rumors of the defeated soldiers who ran back to the city to inform the news! As soon as the looting soldiers under the city ran away, the soldiers guarding the city gate ignored them and opened fire.

After entering the city gate, he ran towards Pingjing.

Rumors spread in the city. At this time, Jin Shilong and Han Wushi on the Qingchuan River had landed and established a foothold. The beachhead position was opened, and Hong Jinglai's army could continuously cross the river from the north bank.

Xu Xiang, who was in the government office, immediately ran to Beicheng with the last twenty or thirty people around him, trying to prevent Hong Jinglai from entering the city. Jin Douji, who had been silent all the time, called out to Xu Xiang, who looked anxious and had lost his sense of proportion. Please

He led the officials in the city to go to the north city to defend against the enemy.
