Chapter 69

Join forces

Join forces

Wang Qianhu heard the report from his subordinates and thought that Du Qianhu sent people to show off that they had breached Changsheng Fort.

Wang Qianhu, who felt that he was disgraced, did not see the messenger, but continued to organize his army and wanted to continue to attack the city.

At this time, after a morning of rushing to attack the city, nearly five hundred people were killed or wounded. These soldiers were tired and hungry. Seeing Wang Qianhu, they wanted to attack. They all lay on the ground and could not get up.

Wang Qianhu had no choice but to recall Master Ma's team and order them to bury the pot and make rice.

Master Ma had just followed Wang Qianhu's instructions to block the other three gates. As soon as he arrived at the east gate, he was dispersed by a good minister with a firecracker. Fortunately, a team of standard battalions were brought out from the governor's Yamen. This time he saved his life.

It was hard to recover the defeated troops, but the number was less than half of the original number. Fortunately, all the baggage and food supplies were placed on the east gate.

After Master Ma returned to the east gate and saw Wang Qianhu:

"Wang Qianhu, this Qingjian County is not easy to mess with! The group of people who came from outside the north gate just came up with a firecracker and blasted away my 3,000-man brigade. If it hadn't been for Biao

Since the people from the camp were there, I told them to be at the north gate.

Do you think we can still capture Qingjian County?"

After listening to Master Ma's words, Wang Qianhu understood that reinforcements were coming from the city. At first, he thought that an expert in the city had set a trap for him, deliberately luring him into the range of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

But where did this reinforcement come from? Could it be from the side of Changsheng Fort? That's not right! If Du Qianhu had already broken the fort, he would have cavalry on his side. These reinforcements were all infantry, and they couldn't escape at all, unless they were

The man surnamed Du deliberately let the man go to cause trouble for him.

"Master Ma, thank you for your hard work. We have strong troops and small reinforcements. In the morning, the soldiers traveled all morning without eating. After the soldiers had eaten and drank enough and gained strength, they took the county seat in one go. Master Ma first

Go rest and wait for good news from me."

After seeing off Master Ma, Wang Qianhu immediately called Du Qianhu's messenger. After learning that Du Qianhu's attack was not going well, he was completely dumbfounded.

Now both of them are riding a tiger, and it is impossible to return to the army. They have taken the risk of rebellion and come out. They must get what they want, otherwise they will be investigated by the superiors. What to pay for, let alone the departure fee is borrowed money

It’s not that easy to get money from the governor!

Wang Qianhu thought for a long time and didn't know how to make a decision, so he called Master Ma over again. He explained the situation and saw what Master Ma had to say.

Master Ma was surprised when he heard that neither side succeeded. Then he asked:

"Wang Qianhu, please tell the truth whether Qingjian County can be captured."

Wang Qianhu was unambiguous and directly analyzed Master Ma:

"We brought nearly 10,000 troops. Although the troops were divided, there were still 5,000 soldiers attacking the city. Although there were some losses in the morning, they were not injured. I saw the reinforcements added by the defenders.

There are no more than a thousand people who can fight.

Besides, in the morning, in order to open the city gate early, they only attacked the east gate tower section. If they attack again, they will disperse the entire army and attack the entire city wall. By then, their cannons will be able to hit the people in front of the tower. Let's

They focused on one thing and lost the other, and it was no problem to capture Qingjian County."

After listening to Wang Qianhu's analysis, Master Ma also had concerns in his mind.

"I admire Wang Qianhu for his wisdom and bravery, but we are here to seek wealth. Now that both sides cannot be conquered for a long time, it is better to capture one side first as soon as the troops come out."

Master Ma has a great opinion and just takes that side first.

"Only by killing the magistrate of Qingjian County and getting the money can we rest easy. Since the magistrate is in Changsheng Fort, we might as well capture Changsheng Fort first. Maybe the county will be destroyed once the magistrate dies.

"

Wang Qianhu stood up and understood that the greatest interests lay in the Everlasting Victory Fort, and taking the Everlasting Victory Fort was the key point. But he couldn't propose it! It seemed that Wang Qianhu was a head shorter than the one named Du. You couldn't just say it.

Go! Now that Master Ma has proposed it, he happens to have a way to go.

"Master Ma can understand clearly. After the brothers have finished eating, I will lead four thousand troops to find Du Qianhu. The remaining troops will be led by Master Ma to keep an eye on the defenders of Qingjian County. Wait.

I will return to assist Master Ma after we capture Changsheng Fort."

Master Ma, who had just experienced life and death, still dared to lead troops, so he quickly shied away. The two of them went back and forth for a long time. Wang Qianzong saw that Master Ma didn't take the bait, so he stopped forcing it.

He began to arrange for one of his subordinates, Bai Hu, to receive the broken troops brought back by Master Ma, and also assigned the injured soldiers to that Bai Hu. He gathered two thousand men and horses for Bai Hu, and he was left to contain the enemy here.

After the good ministers on the city wall defeated the enemy, they did not dare to delay and immediately arranged for everyone from the Wang Family Workshop to reinforce the arrow shields. They also temporarily found and erected door panels for the crenellations that were not covered by the arrow shields.

While reinforcing the city wall, he sent out manpower to check whether other city walls were attacked and whether there were any bandits outside the city.

After learning that there were no enemy troops on the other three walls, Liangchen thought of the opportunity he had planned with his master and decided to mobilize all the trained young men in the county to distribute weapons to them and help protect the county.

The good minister found Qian Dianshi and asked him to arrange for government officials to go to various villages and towns to notify the trained young men to come to the county town from the north gate, west gate, and south gate to report.

Qian Dianshi did not dare to delay and went to explain to his subordinates in person.

At this time, some gentry wanted to leave the city to avoid the bandits, but Qian Dianshi persuaded them to go back.

Liangchen called Liujia Workshop and Diao Sanyi again and asked them how much weapons they had in stock now.

Zhang Zongxian originally placed an order for 5,000 Rumi muskets at Liujia Workshop, but after the introduction of flintlock muskets, part of the order was reduced. Now there are 3,000 Lumi muskets in the warehouse.

Diao Sanyi's Zhang Zongxian placed an order for 10,000 lances, and now he can produce more than 5,000.

These weapons are more than enough for a trained young man.

After dinner, Wang Qianhu summoned all the hundreds of households to come to him and explained to them that he would join forces with Du Qianhu to capture Changsheng Fort first.

The hundreds of households no longer wanted to attack the county seat, and felt that the earth fort was easier to deal with. They all agreed with Wang Qianhu's decision.

In order to prevent the people on the city wall from seeing through the real situation, Wang Qianhu asked all the hundreds of households to count their own men and horses, and then go to Changsheng Fort in teams one by one. After one team was finished, the other team set off.

Moreover, they did not line up when setting off, but went out in pieces, as if they were looking for firewood instead of leaving the camp.

He asked the remaining people to set up the tents and kept moving around to create the illusion that the large army was still at the east gate. He led four thousand soldiers and quickly left for Changsheng Fort.

Master Ma finally stayed at the East Gate. After struggling all morning, he could no longer ride the train. He could only rest here at the East Gate first.

The good minister did not notice the movement of the bandits, and his troops had to take a rest after struggling all morning. The people in the city also took out their own door panels to support the defense of the city. Some people also gave gifts to the heroes who defended the city.

Eat.
