    Arriving outside the city of Yunxifu was only a vanguard troop of cavalry from the Qinghe Army. They bypassed the town checkpoints along the way and took a shortcut under the leadership of the bearded Xu Yong.

    After they confirmed that this was indeed Yunxi Mansion through the big characters of Yunxi City engraved on the city gate, they only left a team of rangers to watch, and the rest retreated to a safe place to camp and wait for the follow-up troops.

    The vanguard cavalry unit of the Qinghe Army suddenly appeared in Yunxi Mansion. Admiral Zhang Wenhua immediately held an emergency meeting while urgently ordering the garrison troops to defend the city.

    The officials in the city were not prepared for the sudden appearance of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, so at the meeting, all the officials were at a loss.

    "Silence, silence!"

    Seeing a group of officials whispering to each other in fear, the living room was buzzing, and Admiral Zhang Wenhua had to pat the table to silence everyone.

    "The thieves have suddenly arrived. You are all officials at all levels in my Yunxi Mansion. Countless people are watching us. At this time, we must not lose our footing!" Admiral Zhang Wenhua emphasized.

    "We will definitely follow the lead of the admiral and resist the bandit army together." An official said hastily.

    "Yes, we all listen to your admiral." Someone hastily echoed.

    "That's very good. As long as we are united, the bandits will have nothing to do with us."

    Seeing what the officials said, Admiral Zhang Wenhua's complexion became a little better.

    "Where are the Inspectors?"

    After Admiral Zhang Wenhua looked around the crowd, he frowned involuntarily.

    The inspector was sent to Yunxi Mansion by the provincial capital, but he was the second most powerful person in Yunxi Mansion, and also an important person to check and balance the admiral.

    Now that the Qinghe army is approaching the city, Yunxi Mansion is facing a serious crisis. At this time, the No. 2 person has disappeared.

    "Immediately ask the Supervisor to come to discuss the important matters of defending the city."

    Admiral Zhang Wenhua gave instructions to a guard outside the door.

    "No!"

    After the guard responded, he quickly left in a hurry.

    "Master Admiral, I heard that Lord Inspector took his family members out of the city from the north of the city, and their whereabouts are unknown."

    Soon, the guard who had gone to invite the supervisor turned back and reported to the admiral Zhang Wenhua.

    At this critical moment, the inspector even ran away with oil on his feet, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Admiral Zhang Wenhua even greeted the eighteen generations of the supervisor's ancestors in his heart.

    On weekdays, the inspector, who is flamboyant, wants to intervene everywhere, but now that the bandit army is approaching the city, he is fine and just ran away.

    "The Superintendent may have gone outside to inspect, so we won't wait for him."

    Although he was very angry at the behavior of the inspector, in order to calm people's hearts, Admiral Zhang Wenhua had no choice but to say a good word for the inspector.

    The inspector is sent to Yunxi Mansion by the provincial capital, and its main task is to supervise officials at all levels.

    The inspectors can run away with oil on the soles of their feet, but they, the officials of Yunxi Mansion, can't leave, because all their family properties are here.

    "Let's talk about it, what should we do when the bandit army is approaching the city?" Admiral Zhang Wenhua turned his attention to the officials.

    "Admiral, we should defend the city and ask the Governor for help." The garrison battalion will be the first to speak.

    "What do you mean?"

    "We all listen to you, Admiral."

    "Well, follow the suggestion of the king's battalion general, defend the city and ask the governor for help."

    "Everyone, please perform your duties and fight against the bandit army. From now on, close the four gates. Anyone who dares to leave the city without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

    Admiral Zhang Wenhua also knew that many officials in the city wanted to put oil on their feet, so they cut off their retreat.

    Under the leadership of Admiral Zhang Wenhua, Yunxi Mansion quickly moved into action. More than 2,000 garrison soldiers in the city quickly transported arrows, logs, etc. to the top of the city.

    Yunxi Mansion even temporarily recruited more than 2,000 young men from the city to assist the garrison in defending the city.

    At the same time, Admiral Zhang Wenhua sent several teams of messengers out of the city to ask for help from the governor and surrounding areas.

    In the evening, in order to find out the details of the black cavalry outside the city, Admiral Zhang Wenhua gathered more than 50 cavalry, trying to capture a prisoner and go back.

    It's a pity that they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army outside the city.After a fight, instead of capturing any prisoners, thirty horsemen were killed in battle, which made Zhang Wenhua completely give up the idea of ??capturing prisoners.

    The city is actively preparing for battle, and the forward cavalry units of the Qinghe Army outside the city are not idle either. While they sent people to monitor the city, they quickly scouted the situation in the surrounding areas.

    Although Xu Yong with beards is a member of the Pengshan Rebel Army, he is working hard as the guide of the Qinghe Army now.

    With the help of this local snake, the forward cavalry unit of the Qinghe Army quickly figured out the surrounding enemy situation.

    The large rebel army in Yunxi Mansion has been wiped out, so apart from the garrison troops stationed in various places, the provincial garrison troops with slightly stronger combat effectiveness are only more than a thousand troops left, and they are still here to wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

    Xu Yong was almost killed when he was hunted down by these provincial guards, so he also hated the provincial guards.

    So Xu Yong encouraged these Qinghe army cavalry to eliminate these provincial guards, prevent them from entering Yunxi Mansion, and strengthen the defense force of Yunxi Mansion.

    The forward cavalry unit of the Qinghe Army is small in number, and it is a cavalry unit. It is not good at attacking cities, but it is not afraid to deal with camps stationed in the wild.

    So they marched overnight and directly launched a long-range raid on more than a thousand Jiangbei Provincial Guards.

    The Qinghe Army launched an attack at dawn. After more than an hour of fighting, the Qinghe Army cavalry directly wiped out more than a thousand provincial guard troops.

    After the cavalry of the Qinghe Army returned from victory, they tried to pretend to be the provincial guard to trick the gate of Yunxi Mansion.

    However, Admiral Zhang Wenhua's defense was too tight, which caused the Qinghe cavalry's strategy to fail, and lost dozens of brothers instead.

    After waiting for three days, the 5,000 cavalry from the First Banner Battalion of the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army wiped out the small dynastic garrison stationed along the way, and arrived outside Yunxifu City smoothly, where they joined the forward scouting cavalry troops that had arrived earlier.

    ?They launched a tentative attack on Yunxi Mansion, but Yunxi Mansion experienced countless attacks from rebels, and was commanded by the admiral Zhang Wenhua who was in charge of the main battle, so the tentative attack failed again.

    However, the good luck of Yunxi Mansion came to an end, because after the cavalry unit's tentative attack failed, the main force of the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang arrived at Yunxi Mansion.

    Chen Zi'ang and his Second Army not only consisted of cavalry units, but also two infantry flag regiments.

    Seeing the Qinghe army troops with banners waving outside the city and swords and guns like a forest, the faces of both officials and soldiers at the head of Yunxi Mansion became extremely ugly.

    They thought that what was outside the city was just a small group of bandits fleeing from other places, as long as the reinforcements arrived, they would retreat, because they had encountered such things many times.

    But this time it was not a small rebel army, but a main force of the Qinghe Army with more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
