When they returned to Qiling Town, the entire Linzi County was already extremely tense.
Lin Hu and Dopey Ge also brought the situation in Linzi County.
"Wangye,"
"Ever since we took down Qiling Town, Linzi County has been on alert. Now, all the guards in the city were on duty on the city wall day and night, and the defense was tight. If they wanted to take down Linzi County, they would probably have to go through a huge battle!”
"Oh?"
Zhu Youxin frowned slightly.
Zhu You Xin also understood what Linzi County was doing.
After all, the Eight Banners Guards in Linzi County had experienced the crushing defeat of Qingzhou City.
Even Zhunta, Yiertai, and the others had died outside Qingzhou City.
Such a painful defeat also made these Eight Banners soldiers panic.
Hence, after Qiling Town fell, they hid in Linzi County and did not come out.
Although they wouldn't come out, they still had to fight in Linzi County!
This battle was not just about recovering lost territory!
It was not just to test the combat ability of the new recruits!
More importantly, Zhu Youqi hoped to use this battle to reclaim Linzi County to show the prestige of the new recruits and the prestige of Prince Heng's residence!
At that time, when the new recruits marched east to pacify the Dengzhou and Laizhou Prefectures, they would be able to use this prestige to achieve twice the result with half the effort!
Therefore, this battle must be fought!
Moreover, he had to play well!
"This battle must be fought!"
" There are seven to eight hundred Banners soldiers in Linzi County," Zhu You Xin said." There are also four to five thousand Ming soldiers who have surrendered. There aren't many soldiers. However, these people are scared of us. Now that they're holed up in the city and not coming out, it's indeed not easy to fight!”
"Lin Hu,"
He turned to look at Lin Hu and Zhu You.
"What do you have in mind?"”
"Wangye,"
Lin Hu frowned and said,"It's impossible to take down Linzi County with just the special forces!" We also have to work closely with the new recruits!"
"My idea is that we can't charge head-on!”
"After all, be it the special forces or the new recruits, they don't have any siege weapons. If they charged in head-on, there would definitely be a lot of casualties. We can outsmart them!"
"Your Highness, the advantage of our special forces is that we are capable and efficient. We can obtain unexpected advantages in local battles! Especially good at special operations!"
"Therefore, we can use the advantage of the special forces to attack a city tower at night. Then, we can open the city gate and let the main force of the new division enter. This way, we can occupy Linzi County and avoid the disadvantage of not having any siege weapons!”
Hearing Lin Hu's words, Zhao Cheng frowned and asked,"Captain Lin, this is a good plan, but Linzi County is on high alert now. If the special forces capture the city tower and alert the enemy in the city, they will send an army to surround us. The special forces will…"
"At that time, I'm afraid we'll end up losing everything!”
Zhao Cheng said worriedly.
"Haha…"
"Don't worry, Division Commander Zhao. Our special forces have always been swift and decisive!" Lin Hu smiled. I can guarantee that before the enemy in the city can react, we will be able to seize the city tower and open the city gate! Division Commander Zhao could rest assured about this!”
"Oh?"
Zhao Cheng was stunned.
Zhao Cheng also knew that the special forces had strict training and excellent weapons and equipment. Each soldier could even be compared to two or three.
There were even four or five new soldiers.
However, Zhao Cheng didn't believe that the special forces would be able to take over the city gate in such a short period of time.
"Zhao Cheng,"
"The special forces have the confidence. Just watch!" Zhu Youqi smiled.”
Zhao Cheng nodded slightly when he heard Zhu You Xin's words.
It seemed that His Royal Highness also approved of this battle technique!
"Commander Zhao,"
"Seize the city tower and open the city gate. Don't worry about it, Commander Zhao." Since we have to work together, I hope that Commander Zhao can quickly send troops into the city after we open the city gates. There can be no delays!”
"Of course!"
Zhao Cheng nodded heavily and said,"Our new recruit division will definitely not trap our brothers in the enemy's encirclement!"”
"Thank you, Commander Zhao!"
Lin Hu cupped his fists.
"Good!"
Looking at the two of them, Zhu Youqi nodded and said,""It's settled then! The time was set at the fourth watch. Before dawn, when the enemy was the most sleepy and the defense was the most lax, they would begin their operation!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Cheng and Lin Hu hurriedly replied.
Immediately, the special forces and new recruits began to move.
When the two regiments of new recruits arrived outside Linzi County, it instantly caused a great panic in the entire Linzi County.
"Hmm?"
The Eight Banners Guard, Jia Lajing Chok Tuo, frowned as he looked at the dense Ming army outside the city. His face was extremely gloomy.
"It seems that these Ming soldiers want to take advantage of the situation to seize Linzi County!”
Jala Jing Chok Tuo's expression was gloomy as he said coldly,""These Ming soldiers really don't put us in their eyes!”
"Jala Jing,"
"We can't let our guard down," said a trusted aide beside him.
Ah, these Ming soldiers were too terrifying! In the battle of Qingzhou, they had killed both General Zhunta and General Yiertai. Even our Hong Yi Artillery was destroyed by them. The strength of these Ming soldiers could not be underestimated! Jia Lajing, we still have to be cautious!”
"I know!"
Jala Jing Chok Tuo said with a gloomy face,""The Ming army is quite terrifying, but look at them. They don't even have siege weapons. How can they attack the city? Let's just hide in Linzi County and not come out. I want to see if they can still fly up to the city wall.”
Jalagin Chokto's words made sense.
After all, although Linzi County wasn't big, the city walls were more than ten feet tall. It was indeed difficult for the Ming army to attack the city without siege weapons!
Chuokto laughed coldly and continued,"Let's defend the city and block the Ming army. In addition, immediately send people to Jinan City to request reinforcements. As long as we can destroy this Ming army in the wilderness, Shandong will still be ours!”
As he spoke, Chuokto laughed sinisterly.
However, Chuo Ketuo himself was a veteran who had followed Zhunta through many battles. From a White Armored Soldier, he had gradually become a Jialajing, managing one to two thousand people.
Although he didn't put the Ming army outside the city in his eyes, Chuoktuo knew that he couldn't let his guard down!
Immediately, Chuok Tuo ordered the Eight Banners soldiers and Ming Dynasty soldiers on the city wall to be ready.
Chuok Tuo even ordered the Ming army to gather rolling stones, wood, tung oil, and gold juice in the city to prepare weapons to defend the city.
He knew that there was only one way now, and that was to defend!
The reinforcements that had reached Jinan City had arrived at Linzi County!
then
Once they were done, they would be able to leave the city and fight, eliminating the Ming soldiers outside the city!
