Liu Dahan gritted his teeth and rushed up with a few iron rods, shouting along the way that he was not allowed to retreat.

Arriving under the ladder, Liu Dahan bit the big knife, holding a small round shield in one hand, and climbing up with the other.

His speed was very fast, and he climbed to the top of the wall in three or two times, then threw away his shield and swung in a circle with a big knife in hand. The two patrolmen who were responsible for defending this section of the city wall quickly retreated, for fear of being scratched by the big knife.

Liu Dahan jumped into the city wall and glared at the others. That vicious appearance actually frightened those people, and no one dared to attack.

After this delay, two more rebels climbed up the wall from the ladder.

A good battle was stunned by their interpretation of a gang fight, and whoever is cruel will win.

The city wall is the psychological defense line of the defenders. Once someone gets on the city wall, it means that they will no longer be safe, and their psychological defense line will collapse.

The first to escape was the patrol, and they were slicker than each other.

The people who came up to help the defense weren't stupid. Seeing this situation, they kept their shit together and ran away. There were only a few dozen regiments left, and faced with hundreds of rebels, they had no advantage in terms of numbers and momentum.

"Sir, hurry up."

The coach of the group coach couldn't do anything, and advised Liao Cheng to escape.

Liao Cheng didn't care about his future at this time, and hurriedly fled with his family.

He knew that these rebels hated the officials who helped the Qing court enslaved the people, and if they were caught, the only way out was death.

When both Liao Cheng and Tuan Lian began to retreat, there was no resistance on the city wall. Some were running away, some were kneeling and begging for mercy.

Later, Wu Yi took control of this small county.

After a battle, it seemed like a battle at the beginning, and at other times it was like a fight between villagers for water.

At the end of the entire battle, only five people were killed on the side of the rebels, plus more than a dozen wounded. On the Qing army side, only a dozen or so died, and the rest either escaped or surrendered.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to capture the county seat so easily. I knew we would have come a long time ago."

Liu Dahan laughed loudly, not caring that his left arm was still bleeding. In the battle, he was also slashed, but it was not a big problem.

"It's easy to take down and hard to defend. These are all yamen and regiment training. They are incomparable to the Qing army, and even more incomparable to the Eight Banners soldiers. Next, it will be up to the rebels in Jiading. If they can't hold it, we can only withdraw. "

Wu Yi has more insight, knowing that this kind of victory is not worth mentioning.

"They shouldn't have any problems. I think they are neat and well-trained. They are elite soldiers. Besides, their guns are very powerful. It would be nice if we could get some."

Liu Dahan said.

Wujiang County is very close to Suzhou, only a dozen kilometers away, and you can reach it in about an hour by horseback.

Before Wu Yi began to attack the city, Liao Cheng had already sent people to Suzhou for help.

After Wu Yi completely controlled Wujiang County, Wu Shengzhao, who was stationed in Suzhou, also got the news that Wujiang County was besieged.

"These untouchables really don't stop."

Wu Shengzhao sighed and said, Wu Changqing in Jiading was very noisy some time ago, and now there is another Wu Yi in Wujiang County, and the entire Wusong area has not been peaceful since June.

Jiangyin came first, then Jiading, and various rebellions continued one after another. And this is all because the Qing court wanted people to shave their hair.

Wu Shengzhao also didn't understand this kind of brain-dead decree. Why bother, the people have already paid you taxes and surrendered anyway, so why do you have to ask others to shave their hair?

If you don't understand, you don't understand. That's the matter of the adults above. He can't be controlled by a small person, so he can only follow orders.

"My lord, this Wujiang County is our jurisdiction, we can't help it."

Deputy General Cao Hu said.

"Of course I know, but Wu Changqing's rebels are currently in Kunshan, not far from us. I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to attack Suzhou."

After Wu Shengzhao learned that Wu Changqing had killed more than 2,000 Qing troops, he immediately regarded Wu Changqing as the number one enemy and was always on guard.

As for Li Chengdong asking him to take the initiative to suppress the bandits, he didn't pay any attention at all. What a joke, I only have more than 3,000 people, and all of them are pulled out to suppress the bandits, what should I do in Suzhou.

Moreover, Li Chengdong's 2,000 people were defeated, and his own 3,000 people didn't necessarily have much advantage.

Wu Shengzhao doesn't expect to recover Kunshan, Jiading and other places now, so he just guards his own Suzhou. As for Wu Changqing, we should wait until the army of the imperial court arrives.

"If you are defending the city, more than a thousand people are enough."

Cao Hu reminded that with the high walls of Suzhou, there are more than 1,000 soldiers and the temporary recruitment of civilians, so it is very easy to defend the army of three or four thousand. And Wu Changqing has three or four thousand people? Obviously not possible.

Wu Shengzhao thought about it, and finally decided to let Cao Hu bring 1,500 people to rescue Wujiang County.

After all, Wujiang County is his jurisdiction, and letting the rebels occupy it is his dereliction of duty and affects his future.

In Songling, Wu Changqing was hiding in the woods of a mountain with a thousand fire guns.

Liu Hansan, Li Shaobin, and Wang Dayong's troops hid further behind. Their task was to wait for the Huogun Army to engage with the enemy, and then they would encircle them from the rear and on both sides to capture prisoners.

What Wu Changqing wanted was not only to defeat the enemy, but also to completely destroy this living force so that they would not have the opportunity to escape back to Suzhou.

It was not until the afternoon that the spies came to report, saying that the Qing army had been discovered ahead, and the number was about 1,500.

"Only one thousand and five."

Wu Changqing was a little disappointed, the number was less than he expected. The more enemy troops annihilated in the field, the easier the next siege will be.

"Ready to fight."

Wu Changqing ordered, and the rebels stood up one after another, lined up, and then walked down the mountain to face the Qing army.

"Cao Qianhu, an unknown army was found in front of him. There are nearly a thousand troops, and almost everyone has a fire gun."

Sentinels quickly reported.

"What banner did you play?" Cao Hu asked.

"Wu's name."

"That should be the rebel army. Except for our general, there is no general surnamed Wu in Wu Song's army. The leaders of the two rebel forces are both surnamed Wu."

Cao Hu quickly determined the identity of the other party, and he even knew that this army should be Wu Changqing's fire gun army, because only Wu Changqing's army was equipped with a large number of fire guns.

"Sir, what should we do?"

A hundred households asked.

"What else can be done, of course, rush up to annihilate them."

Cao Hu snorted disdainfully. Although Wu Changqing had eliminated 2,000 Qing troops before, that was the reason for defending the city and attacking at night.

In Cao Hu's view, those rebels who have not received formal training will collapse as soon as they enter a hand-to-hand battle. He has seen this kind of thing a lot and has experience.

As for those fire guns, he even ignored them.

He is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of fire guns. As long as he suffers one round of losses and rushes in front of the enemy, those fire guns will become burning fire sticks.

Based on this judgment, Cao Hu ordered his men to charge towards the enemy.
