Chizhou.

In the past two years, a lot of things have happened in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. As the richest province, now it has already had the smell of falling apart.

Judging from the various roads, they didn't know where to send their official documents. The imperial court built the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, which was set up on Taizhou Road. It was far away and the time for official documents to travel back and forth was very long. Moreover, the senior officials in the province would almost be replaced in two months.

This makes the road government more comfortable. Now they are as if they are self-sufficient. The taxes are delayed and no one is urging them to pay.

In theory, this would satisfy them, but they were all frightened because Chen Feng was already very powerful now.

If Chen Feng wanted to attack Chizhou, then the three thousand defenders in Chizhou City would not have the ability to resist at all. Their only way was to escape as far as they could!

Sometimes, the general manager of Chizhou Road was thinking, just take the entire road mansion and surrender to Lord Chen. Maybe he could still get an official position. Follow the court, and he probably wouldn't have a future with Lord Chen.

Now, most people heard that the emperor and the prince are fighting very hard, and many people are involved. At this time, they don’t even think about how to eliminate the rebellion, and they even have to fight in the internal struggle.

The situation gradually became clear, and the Mongolians no longer had the courage they had before. They seemed to be unable to control the current situation.

The four-way uprising army is so powerful that I don’t know who will be able to occupy the world in the end?

Just as he was thinking about this, Lord Lu, the chief manager of Chizhou, heard a chaotic voice outside.

"What's going on?" asked Lord Lu. Chizhou has always been relatively calm.

"Sir, outside the city, a large number of black-clothed troops came!" An escort ran in and said.

Black-clothed Army! When Lord Lu heard these three words, his heart trembled.

The Black Army is a powerful cavalry unit under Lord Chen of Pingjiang. They all use firearms and have strong combat power. This army is a person who dares not touch even if they touch it.

Now, outside his city, a black army actually appeared?

Although his feet were trembling, Lord Lu still plucked up the courage and said, "Let's go, go to the city and take a look."

Just as I was about to take a step, I heard a roar coming from a distance. "Boom, boom, boom!"

Suddenly, Lord Lu felt his feet soft and he couldn't stand.

Chang Yuchun followed Chen Feng's orders and traveled day and night to Chizhou.

After controlling Chizhou, he intercepted the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This was the only way for Chen Youliang to return. Chang Yuchun knew what Lord Chen meant was to completely intercept Chen Youliang and then kill him, so he had to be quick!

There are many mountains and rivers along the way, so it took Chang Yuchun three days to get here, and it was already very fast.

After expansion, the Black-clothed Army has grown to 20,000 people. This time, all of them have been brought, and there are still 5,000 people. They are the original Kiln Society cavalry, all of whom are the most elite soldiers.

After arriving, Chang Yuchun did not hesitate and immediately ordered his men to launch an attack.

If cavalry attacked the city in the past was almost an unimaginable task, Chen Feng tried several times, but they were all tricks. But now, Chang Yuchun still wanted to take tricks, but this method was even more powerful.

As the continuous production of the bowl-mouth guns, the bowl-mouth guns carried by several horses could be dismantled, and a batch of them were also equipped in the Black Army. Therefore, after arriving at the city, Chang Yuchun ordered these bowl-mouth guns to be lined up in a row.

More than fifty bowl guns were aimed at the city gate. At this time, the city gate had just been closed.

"Listen, the defenders on the city immediately opened the city gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and welcomed our army into the city." More than a dozen loud voices shouted this sentence together, which was full of deterrence.

After a long time, there was no movement on the city wall.

If you shout a word, the other party will surrender, and then your own momentum will be considered to be in a supreme state.

"Fire the bowl-mouth gun." Chang Yuchun said.

These bowl-mouth guns are enough to strengthen one's power.

If you encounter a tenacious defender, you will not surrender. In that case, Chang Yuchun's siege will indeed encounter great trouble. However, Chang Yuchun is convinced that the defender of Chizhou does not have such a strong will.

In fact, just when Chang Yuchun's army appeared, the defenders of Chizhou were already in panic. For them, the name of the Black Army represented death.

Now, what should we do? Of course we are running away! If we don’t run away at this time, when will we still wait?

Therefore, no one opened the city gate for Chang Yuchun. It was not because they wanted to defend it, but most of them immediately lowered the city wall and prepared to escape from the city gate on the other side.

"Boom, boom!" More than fifty bowl guns were shot together, and the scene suddenly became spectacular.

Most of the projectiles were empty, with only five or six hitting the city wall. When they smashed, the city wall trembled and dust fell.

A projectile miraculously hit the city gate, and suddenly, a big hole was opened with the suspension bridge outside and the city gate inside.

Chang Yuchun was quite satisfied with this record, and after this round, the musketeer began to reload again and prepare for a second shooting.

"Report." Just when Chang Yuchun was about to order the stubborn city guarding troops to let them see the power of their own bowl guns, he saw a scout hurriedly running over and said, "General Chang, the defenders are fleeing from the West City Gate."

Escape? Looking at the big hole that was smashed open in the East City Gate, Chang Yuchun looked at it with a thousand-mile mirror again, and there was no one on the top of the city.

So quickly, they all ran away?

Chang Yuchun immediately ordered: "Killings cavalry, go to the Xicheng Gate to intercept the black army, and follow me to enter the city from here."

After saying that, Chang Yuchun beat the horse forward, which was enough to lose the price just now. For a city gate where no one defended, they also wasted an ammunition for shooting.

Although his subordinates used firearms, behind Chang Yuchun was carrying a quiver and a bow. While running, he took out the bow and arrows, and then he put the bow and two sharp arrows flew out together.

"Bang, bang." The ropes of the two suspension bridges broke at the same time. Then, with a "boom", the suspension bridge fell to both sides of the moat.

Chang Yuchun's horse did not slow down at all and rushed to the suspension bridge, and the same was true for the cavalry behind it.

However, when he rushed to the door, Chang Yuchun suddenly discovered something fatal.

He can break the ropes of this suspension bridge, but if the city gate is inside, it is impossible to open if it is not a special rusher from the outside.

Could it be that the Kilnshe cavalry was waiting for the Kilnshe cavalry to come back from the west and open the door for themselves?

Just after thinking about this, Chang Yuchun saw that the city gate, which had been smashed into a hole, seemed not to be closed tightly, but a crack was exposed.

The defenders did not close the city gates at all. To be precise, they just closed the city gates, and then, when they heard others running away, they naturally did not fall behind and ran away together.

In fact, most of them did not run away, and they were blocked from the west by the Kilnshe cavalry.

Chang Yuchun rode forward on his horse. Even when he reached the city gate, he did not slow down. He just grabbed the reins of the horse and then clamped the horse's belly hard.

Immediately, the horse raised its front hooves and stepped onto the city gate.

"Crack." With this momentum and the force of the horse's hooves, the city gate actually opened.

Chang Yuchun was happy, but sure enough, exactly the same as he thought.

The cavalry behind saw Chang Yuchun's bravery, and they all came into the city one by one.

After entering the city, Chang Yuchun did not run directly to the most important government office, searching the government office, and controlling the treasury, which was secondary to Chang Yuchun.

He led his cavalry and rushed towards the city gate to the north. Like other cities, the northern wall of Chizhou was also directly facing the Yangtze River.

After going up to the north city wall and seeing the calmness on the river surface, Chang Yuchun breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the bowls and guns were all moved to the city wall.

Here, if you want to block the river surface with more than fifty bowl guns, it is a bit overestimated. So, standing on the city wall, Chang Yuchun issued a second order to requisition all nearby ships, regardless of size,!

When the black-clad army crossed south from Yangzhou, they kept training on the ship, and after arriving in Jiangnan, they often conducted such training, so there was no problem in getting soldiers off the horse and boarded the ship to fight. Moreover, holding firearms in their hands is also a powerful tool for water combat.

As long as Chen Youliang's navy army dares to come, they will definitely be without a return!

After Chang Yuchun finished all this, he was about to get off the city. It had been an hour since the Kilnshe Cavalry should have controlled the entire city. It was time to go to the government office to see it. I wonder if the officials here are the ones who can be plundered.

………

The scenery on the river is still the same, but the people on the deck no longer have the same spirit as they did when they came.

"We have passed Wuhu, and the navy behind did not chase after him." Zou Pusheng said.

Chen Youliang nodded: "This failure exposed one of our army's weaknesses. We did not pay attention to firearms, so we suffered a great loss. After returning this time, on the one hand, we should build more warships, and on the other hand, we should also build more firearms, especially the firearms needed by our warships."

This time, he was defeated by the opponent on the water because the firearm was not as good as the opponent. Chen Youliang immediately decided to treat the firearm as an important aspect.

"This time, our army has suffered a lot of losses, and the infantry has given them orders. However, without the support of our navy, I don't know if they can return safely." Zou Pusheng said.

The army that went on expedition this time suffered a complete failure, with the navy losing half of it, and the infantry losing might be even greater.
