The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Everyone is full of fighting spirit.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

Chocolate laughed out loud.

"Great! With your fighting spirit, brothers, I'll be waiting to see. If any brigade performs exceptionally well, I'll personally commend you to the Peak Master!"

"Now, go back and make preparations!"

"Yes!"

……

However, what Chocolate didn't know was that after their meeting, when they were preparing for a big event,

Half of the troops from the Seventh Hall, Loushan Hall, had already quietly crossed the Sheyang Lake and were heading along the Salt River to the wall of Yancheng.

Nearly 6,000 elite soldiers of Loushan Hall, dressed in blue, have now arrived at the gates of Yancheng.

At this moment, the gates of Yancheng were closed.

The magistrate of Yancheng County, the county magistrate and other government officials all stood in front of the city gate tower as if they were facing a great enemy, looking at the neat and mighty blue-clad troops marching down the city in fear.

A big man in blue clothes holding a large iron loudspeaker was still trying to persuade the people on the city gate to surrender.

"Listen up, people in the city! You are surrounded!"

"Lay down your weapons, walk out of the city gate and surrender. This is your only way out!"

"We in Qingfeng Village respect the will of Heaven and the will of the people. We will not kill those who surrender their weapons!"

"I advise you all not to make mistakes! Think more about your families!"

"..."

As Qingfengzhai's words of persuasion to surrender were repeated over and over again, the morale of the soldiers guarding the city gate gradually declined visibly.

Qiu Dahai, the gaunt magistrate of Yancheng County, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Looking at the county magistrate beside him, he asked,

"County Magistrate Cui, has the letter requesting assistance from this county been sent out?"

County Magistrate Cui, who was also wearing a green robe and had a face full of fear, nodded to Qiu Dahai when he heard this.

"Your Excellency, the letter requesting assistance was sent long before the rebels in Qingfeng Village laid siege to the city."

After hearing this, Qiu Dahai breathed a sigh of relief.

In recent days, the situation has changed suddenly. The Qingfeng Village, which was once peaceful, has suddenly turned into the number one rebel.

Yancheng County, Huai'an Prefecture, which is adjacent to Yangzhou, has become the apple of the eye of the Yangzhou rebels and may be eaten at any time.

In the past few days, he has been sending letters to Huai'an Prefecture and the imperial court asking for help, but all of them have fallen on deaf ears.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

As soon as I got up this morning, I received an urgent report from a spy saying that a large number of rebels were heading towards Yancheng.

Qiu Dahai was immediately frightened out of his wits.

Although Yancheng is an important city where Fangong Dike and Yanhe River meet, it is always located inland. There are not many soldiers and horses in the city. Including the yamen runners and the soldiers guarding the city, there are less than 500 people in total.

So Qiu Dahai immediately ordered someone to go to Sheyang with a letter to ask for help, and immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and on high alert.

As an important town close to the coastal area, Sheyang has 20,000 Japanese troops guarding the coastal area.

Qiu Dahai is now delaying time in the hope of waiting for the imperial army to come to the rescue.

But looking at the neatly-organized Qingfengzhai blue-clothed bandits at the foot of the city,

Qiu Dahai was so angry that he almost cursed.

Which bandit attacked with nearly 10,000 men at once, and each of them looked well-trained?

If the enemy attacks the city, we only have about 500 soldiers and horses, and we probably won’t be able to hold it for even an hour.

After confirming the arrival of the imperial army, Qiu Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, but the first thing he thought of was to delay time.

Then, he mustered up his courage and shouted loudly to the people in Qingfeng Village outside the city,

"I am the magistrate of Yancheng County. I invite the king of Qingfeng Village to come and have a chat!"

When Qiu Dahai spoke, the big man from Loushan Hall who was still trying to persuade people to surrender stopped.

At this time, under the banner of Qingfeng Loushan Hall,

Yang Wei, the head of Loushan Hall, who was riding on a horse, chuckled.

"Haha, that's interesting!"
