Although the veterans on the Jinli battlefield, the Zhejiang gangs were a mob, they did not take it lightly. They sent many sent posts to send back the road conditions ahead in time to avoid ambushing the Zhejiang gangs and capsizing the ship in the gutter.

Tuhai rarely offered a suggestion, saying that the Zhejiang gangs were very good at the Zhou army, and the one who entered the river from Haikou was also convenient for the Zhou army. The previous escape from the north of the Yangtze River was also crossing the river with boats. Therefore, the army was approaching Wuhu, and the Zhejiang gangs might cross the river again, so they ordered the Dangtu Shui Army to intercept the upstream and prevent the Zhejiang gang from crossing the river. Jin Li deeply agreed and urgently ordered the Dangtu Shui Army to send a boat to the river surface of the Wuhu area to block the river.

The raiders in front of him received a reward, but there were no traces of Zhejiang gangs, and there were no ambushers in several dangerous places. Jin Lida thought it was strange, and he did not understand why Zhejiang gangs did not stop them and allowed them to come to the city. Tu Hai said that perhaps the Zhejiang gangs knew that they had no power to fight on land and field, so they stayed in Wuhu to defend the city. But this was good, and they just happened to capture all the Zhejiang gangs in one go, so they could save any trouble sending troops to search.

Jin Li ordered the entire army to speed up, intending to rush to the city of Wuhu before noon. Shandong general Wang Yizheng and Fushou General Liang Jiaqi were ready to fight and asked to attack the city for the vanguard. The Green Camp requested the battle, and the army was available. Jin Li naturally agreed to pass the general order, leaving the woman but not the man after breaking the city. He also ordered that Zhang Huangyan, the great thief of Zhejiang invaders, and those who captured Zhang were promoted to two levels and the soldiers were rewarded with a thousand taels. Hearing this military order, the morale of the Qing army was even higher.

The Qing army was moving all the way, as if entering a deserted land. It took half a day to complete the journey. The Wuhu city ahead was clearly visible, and the fields were empty, and there were no traces of Zhejiang gangs ambushed soldiers. It seemed that Zhejiang gangs really stood by the city. Jin Li sneered and ordered Shandong General Wang Yizheng and Liang Jiaqi's troops to prepare for the attack on the city. Hebei General Bao Zhao's troops responded. The Han army was wearing armor and maneuvering outside the city to block Zhejiang gangs at any time.

As we approached the city, the Qing army could see clearly that flags were planted all over the city, and large flags embroidered with the word "Ming" were hung high above the city tower. Behind the battlements, there were Zhejiang gangs protruding their heads, and after a rough sweep, there were many spears, and there were still many people.

Because they were in a hurry when they arrived, the Qing army did not carry many siege equipment and only used a carriage to pull a few cannons. Therefore, Jin Lihe's troops took a break and cut wood to build a ladder, and wanted to launch a strong attack after an hour. The Qing army immediately scattered out of the city, logging wood everywhere, and fire and stoves were also produced in the camp. The smoke from the cooking stove rose up outside the city. From a distance, it looked like countless smoke pillars standing.

As soon as the hour arrived, Jin Li ordered the city to attack. Inspired by the city massacre order, the Qing army screamed and attacked the city of Wuhu. The several cannons he brought also fired at the top of the city, and several "boom" sounds broke the silence over Wuhu.

Jin Li and Tu Hai immediately stood behind, waiting for the sound of cannons in the city to sound. Unexpectedly, the Green Camp of the siege was approaching the city, and there was still no cannon on the city. From a distance, there was no one walking in the city.

"Can the Zhejiang gang be so elite?"

Jin Li Daqi couldn't help but look up at the Zhejiang gang. The troops were at the city and were as motionless as a mountain. Zhang Huangyan was good at training troops, but unfortunately he was not aware of the current affairs.

"Whether it depends on the close contact between soldiers."

Although Tuhai is a few years younger than Jin Li, he has been a civil servant since he became an official. He is in charge of the case trial of the Ministry of Justice and urges the Han officials to edit the "History of Ming Dynasty". He has never led his troops to fight, but as an authentic Manzhou, he has never eaten pork or seen pig run, and he has some experience in siege and field battles. When he met the Zhejiang gang in the city, he did not fight back and let the Green Camp attack the city, but he thought that the Zhejiang gang was afraid that the weapons were short and the equipment was too short to prevent the Green Camp from approaching the city.

"I have been in Fujian and Zhejiang for many years. The elite soldiers of Zheng thieves have seen wars several times and are very familiar with these pirates. When it comes to water battles, our Qing soldiers are far inferior to those of us. However, on land, whether it is field battles or siege and defending the city, the pirates are all shortcomings. But if you break down one point, the rest of the thieves will inevitably disperse."

Jin Li was full of confidence in breaking the city and was not afraid of not being able to take over the small Wuhu city. In his opinion, the Fujian-Zhejiang pirates who were also strong on the sea were much worse than Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang back then. In the second year of Chongde, he followed Emperor Taizong to attack Pidao. The reason why the general did not advance was not because he was timid, but because Mao Wenlong's troops were too strong. Most of their soldiers were outlaws at sea and Han people who destroyed the Liaodong family, and even defected to the Ming army.

The Jurchens, so the power of land battles is not weak at all. On the other hand, the pirates of Fujian and Zhejiang had an irreconcilable hatred with the Qing Dynasty, but their combat effectiveness was much worse than the Dongjiang soldiers backed by the Dongjiang army. The reason for this is that the entire Ming Dynasty was backed by the Dongjiang River, while the current pirates of Fujian and Zhejiang can only occupy a few islands on the sea, and their reputations are far less than those of Dongjiang River, both in terms of momentum, territory, or people's desires. This is the reason.

"Shandong soldiers have climbed the city!"

Tuhai suddenly called out, Jin Li looked at the Mile Mile Mile. Sure enough, the armored soldiers under Shandong General Wang Yizheng were bravely climbing the city.

"Go to the top of the city, Wuhu is ours."

Jin Li laughed loudly, but soon his smile stopped. The reason why he couldn't laugh was not because the Shandong soldiers who were climbing the city were driven down by the Zhejiang gang in the city, but because he found that the Zhejiang gang in the city did not fight back!

"this?"

Jin Li was stunned, and Tu Hai was also there. They saw that the Shandong soldiers who were the first to climb the city would come to the top of the city without any loss of one soldier.

"It's broken, Wuhu is an empty city!" Tu Hai shouted, "Zhang Huangyan ran away!"

Soon, Shandong General Wang Yizheng confirmed that Wuhu was an empty city. He reported that the city was empty. In addition to the flags, the erected spears were sharpened bamboos, and the Ming army that was occasionally poked out were also scarecrows wearing Ming army clothes.

Jin Li's face was gloomy and gloomy. What's the use of seizing an empty city? At the same time, he felt a sense of anger of being played with. Hundreds of scarecrows actually delayed him for more than an hour!

Tuhai suggested sending people to the Navy to see if the Zhejiang gang gave up Wuhu City in advance and fled to Jiangbei. The news from the Navy was that there were no Zhejiang gang ships on the Wuhu River, and there were not even fishing boats for the people.

He came happily and made an argument with Prince An and Governor Liangjiang that he would capture the thief Zhang Huangyan alive, but he ended up rushing to an empty city. Jin Li was very angry and Tu Hai was also very disappointed, but he quickly woke up and reminded Jin Li to evacuate all the people in Wuhu City. However, most of these people were old, weak, women and children, and wherever they could go, they could go, so they should immediately send troops to search for these people and pry out the movements of Zhejiang enemies from them.

Jin Li also reacted and quickly sent troops to search everywhere. Sure enough, he found a group of people who escaped from Wuhu City on a mountain dozens of miles away. After killing a few unscrupulous people, Jin Li learned that the Zhejiang gang had given up on Wuhu City three days ago and fled southeastward. It is said that he was heading towards Zhejiang. Before withdrawing, the Zhejiang gang claimed that the Qing army would slaughter the city as soon as it arrived and asked the people in the city to take refuge in the countryside, which made Wuhu empty.

"They don't walk far, and the Zhejiang Kou walks on two legs and is not familiar with the terrain here. How fast can he walk? I really lead the army to pursue him immediately, and maybe he can catch up with them!"
