    Just like what Fatty Lu said, the city of Huai'an at the same time was indeed in chaos.  I saw Qing army forward Dong Weiguo's team rushing under the city of Huai'an, not even daring to enter the city. They rushed directly from the official road to the east of Huai'an and the canal to the west.  The fish that slipped through the net, the soldiers and civilians in Huai'an who were already opening the city gate to welcome Dong Weiguo into the city, were all terrified, knowing that the danger must be approaching.

    Immediately afterwards, torches all over the mountains and plains appeared on the official road to the south, and a larger number of Qing army fleeing for their lives appeared. The Qing army's central brigade led by Yue Le also arrived.  The mixed Qing Army's Central Army Brigade has long been out of formation, and the ones rushing to the front are the traitorous troops who fight the most fiercely and also escape the fastest.  Chaotic and chaotic like a group of flies, many of the treacherous cavalry's horseshoes were still stained with blood from friendly soldiers. It was obvious that many Qing infantry cavalry soldiers were trampled to death on the way to escape.

    Immediately after the Qing army infantry who were also out of formation, many infantrymen were still carrying stretchers, carrying wounded Qing army generals and companions on their backs.  He swaggered away on the road, fleeing frantically all the way north.  Then there are mite cavalry who are barely maintaining their formation, led by Yue Le himself, but they still don't enter Huai'an City, they just go around the city, and at the same time, the white flag of the Fat Man Army has also appeared in the sight of Huai'an defenders  .

    Seeing such a scene, Yang Yingyao, the magistrate of Huai'an, and Wu Zhan, the garrison of Huai'an, who hurried to the south gate to meet the friendly army, were inevitably frightened. After hastily closing the South Gate of Huai'an and pulling up the suspension bridge, Yang Yingyao and Wu Zhan hurried to the governor's office of water transport,  Ask Cai Shiying, the highest official in Huai'an City, for advice on countermeasures, but Yang Yingyao and Wu Zhan are inevitably stunned again when they go to the Yamen of the Governor of Water Transport.  He had already opened the north gate of Huai'an and fled northward with his wife, concubine, and gold and silver treasures!

    "Old stuff! Old country thief! Don't die!" Yang Yingyao turned to Wu Zhan and shouted, "Wu Shoubei, from now on, you sit at the south gate of Huai'an.  Stand firm! I will command from the center and organize the people in the city to serve as your backup!"

    "Your Majesty, the situation has come to this point, can Huai'an be defended?" Wu Zhan said with a pale face, "All the troops of Prince An have fled, and there are only more than 1,200 green battalion soldiers and more than 500 township soldiers in Huai'an city."  Yong, what are you going to do to defend Huai'an?"

    "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Yang Yingyao stomped her feet and shouted righteously: "You and I share the imperial salary, and we are honored by the emperor. No matter how dangerous Huai'an is now, you and I have to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.  The city is alive and the people are alive, the city is dead and the people are dead! Even if you fight to the last soldier, you must not surrender against the bandits. It is better to have the jade broken than the tile!"

    Yang Yingyao, who always liked to deduct the military salaries of the village warriors and resell the military rations, suddenly became so righteous and impassioned. Wu Zhan felt a little ashamed of his illegal activities of secretly colluding with fat army smugglers and smugglers for more than a year. He immediately knelt down to Yang Yingyao,  Cupping his hands and clasping his fists, he said, "Since the magistrate said so, then Wu Zhan will lose his life in Huai'an at worst. Please don't worry, magistrate. As long as Wu Zhan is alive, Wu Gou will never even think about stepping into Huai'an!"

    Prefect Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Wu Zhan again and again. Wu Zhan didn't say much, and immediately returned to Huai'an city wall, restrained the soldiers to organize the team, and prepared to meet the siege from the fat army. According to Wu Zhan's estimation, the fat army was so fast.  Marching at full speed, the team must not have time to carry siege weapons. No matter how small the defenders in Huai'an City are, they can at least block the fat man's footsteps for a day or two!

    While directing the soldiers to sort out and collect the weapons for defending the city, a servant from the Huai'an magistrate's yamen suddenly rushed up to the Huai'an South Gate city wall, came to Wu Zhan and saluted and said, "Report to General Wu, the magistrate asked the villain to report to you, and he suddenly  I remembered that there were more than 10,000 taels of imperial military pay in the treasury of Huai'an, and my Qing army stationed in the Xiba camp to resist Wu Dog's victory over the river would inevitably require a large amount of military pay, so the magistrate has already brought the pay  The account is as much as two hundred taels of silver, disguised as ordinary people and left the city from the north gate of Huai'an, and went to the Xiba camp to pay the salary, and then the defense of Huai'an city is all entrusted to you, General Wu."

    Wu Zhan almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. After a while, he jumped to his feet and yelled, "Old man Yang Yingyao, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!"

    "General Wu, what should we do?" Ji Huai, Wu Zhan's deputy next to him, asked tremblingly: "Wu Gou is less than five miles away from Huai'an, and our little people are not enough for Wu Gou's army."

    "Fuck it!" Wu Zhan just moved slightlyThey were all silent, and the morale and fighting spirit that Kang Mazi had worked so hard to boost before was swept away in this instant.

    "Our Great Qing may only have the last three hours." Zhou Peigong sighed quietly in his heart.

    At the same time, on the Huai'an city tower, Fatty Lu beckoned all the generals to the front, and ordered in a low voice: "Let the soldiers take the time to rest, eat and drink enough, and leave the city for a decisive battle in two and a half hours. Then send the fast boat  Go south, go 20 miles south to contact Han Daren's team who is resting there, let him also march in two and a half hours, and rush to the city of Huai'an for reinforcements."

    "Two and a half hours?" The fatty generals looked at each other and asked together: "General, didn't you just say three hours?"

    "You pigheads?" Fatty Lu cursed: "I'm insane or stupid to be faithful to Emperor Mangou?!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com)  Vote for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
