After leaving a few corpses behind, Yi Bilong successfully left Gaizhou City through Shunqing Gate.
As the intercepting party, the people on the Tiger Banner side knew that those who escaped from the city might be important figures in the Qing army, but they were unable to stop them.
This was not the first time that the Marine Division captured the city. After capturing Gaizhou City, they immediately cleaned up the Qing troops in the city.
Although Ye Bilong escaped quickly, most of the Qing troops in the city failed to escape. Even some Eight Banners soldiers were trapped in Gaizhou City.
After the people from the Tiger Banner took over several gates of Gaizhou City, the Qing troops in the city had no chance of escaping.
A flash of white light appeared in the eastern sky, and soon the entire earth began to be embraced by the morning sun.
"Shizheng, Gaizhou City has been completely controlled, but the Gaizhou City Guards General Er Bilong has not yet been found." A Tiger Character Banner officer ran back from Gaizhou City to report the news.
After hearing this, Xing Chaoxi turned to look at the chief of staff of the division and said with a smile: "My chief of staff, let's not let Zhao Wu and Ma Liu come to invite us in person. Get ready to enter the city!"
"I'm talking about entering the city." The division chief of staff said with a smile on his face.
After taking Gaizhou City, everyone in the camp was in a good mood.
Under the protection of a group of guards, Xing Chaoxi and the division chief of staff rode into Gaizhou City.
Although Gaizhou City was captured, there were still many Qing soldiers scattered in the city. These Qing soldiers who had lost their restraints became a factor of instability in Gaizhou City.
The Tiger Flag soldiers in the city have begun to search for these small groups of defeated Qing troops scattered throughout the city.
Xing Chaoxi and the chief of staff of the division came to the door of the general's mansion in Bilong and stopped.
At this time, the inside and outside of the General's Mansion had been taken over by people from the Tiger Flag. There were soldiers from the Tiger Flag standing guard in front of the door, and soldiers from the Tiger Flag were patrolling inside.
"The Gaizhou Guard's Guard Command Yamen in the Ming Dynasty and the General's Mansion in the Qing Dynasty have now become a temporary place for you and me to stay." Xing Chaoxi said while looking at the General's Mansion in front of him.
The chief of staff of the division on the side said: "We will stay here for a short time. Have you decided who will hand over this Gaizhou City?"
"Who do you think is appropriate to guard here?" Xing Chaoxi asked.
The division chief of staff rubbed his forehead and said distressedly: "The location of Gaizhou City is right on Manqing's chest. A serious person must stay and take charge."
"From what you said, it seems that someone has been chosen." Xing Chaoxi asked with a smile.
The division chief of staff smiled and said: "I have some ideas, but we have to take another look now. We still have a hard battle to fight. The slave chief will not be willing to hand over such an important position in Gaizhou to us. .”
"I've captured the city, are you afraid that I can't defend it?" Xing Chaoxi said something, and then said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look. I heard that the pseudo-Qing Dynasty king Daishan once lived here. It can also be regarded as the other courtyard of the puppet prince’s palace.”
The chief of staff of the division said with a smile: "It is not easy to see the palace. Our Tiger Character Banner has captured many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. The palace of the Ming Dynasty vassal spent a lot of money and people to build, and the layout is also based on the imperial palace. It is better than a The place where the fake king of the Qing Dynasty lived is a hundred times better, unless the palace of the fake emperor of the Qing Dynasty is still somewhat worth seeing."
"Okay, my casual words triggered a long speech from you. Let's not say anything anymore. Let's go in first."
The division chief of staff on the side followed.
Not long after the two people entered the city, the Marine Division's battalion in the city and several detachment captains rushed to the general's mansion of Bilong.
Xing Chaoxi picked out a larger room and held an impromptu meeting with the two battalions and several detachment leaders.
On one wall in the room, Xing Chaoxi's guards hung a map of the entire Liaodong territory.
"stand up!"
Someone in the room shouted.
Xing Chaoxi and the division chief of staff walked into the room and came to their respective seats.
Among them, Xing Chaoxi pressed his hands down and said, "Everyone, sit down!"
After Xing Chaoxi and the division chief of staff took their seats, others sat down one after another.
"I'm so anxious to find you all here because I have something to tell you so that you can be prepared in advance." Xing Chaoxi first attracted everyone's attention with one sentence, and then said, "I just got the news. , a support army of the Puppet Qing Dynasty is coming towards Gaizhou. Although we have captured Gaizhou City, this Qing army will probably not be willing to let Gaizhou City fall into our hands and launch a counterattack against Gaizhou City. , this requires us to defend the city and wait for the Qing army to attack."
As he said that, he glanced at everyone one by one.
Then he continued: "The third battle camp will be under the greatest pressure if it stays outside the city. Instead, it will be stationed inside Gaizhou City. Because it has the city wall as a support, the pressure will be the least. So I discussed it with the chief of staff and left a battle camp. The military camp and the baggage camp are here to guard Gaizhou City, and the other military camp is going to join Qin Xiaozhan's third military camp outside the city to deal with the possible invading Qing army. Which of you is willing to go?"
No one answered.
Everyone knows that once the Qing army attacks Gaizhou, the first thing they will deal with is Gaizhou City. As for the Qing army in other parts of Gaizhou, they may divide their forces, but at most they will be small groups, and the main force will still stay here in Gaizhou City.
Everyone wanted to fight a big war, so naturally no one wanted to go out of the city to deal with a small group of Qing troops.
Seeing that no one spoke, the division chief of staff said: "I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you that staying in Gaizhou City may not lead to the big battle you thought. Why did I say this? The reason is very Simple, the Qing army has almost never taken advantage of our Tiger Character Banner. Naturally they know how difficult it is to recapture Gaizhou City from us, so they will probably focus on our soldiers and horses outside the city, so go to the city. There may not be no battles to fight outside, and there may not be big battles to be won if you stay in the city.”
His words moved some people to action.
Several of the detachment captains even looked at their own camp commanders.
"Ma Yingzheng, I think it's better for your Second Battle Barracks to go outside the city. I'll give you the opportunity to fight a big battle." Zhao Wu said to Ma Liu, the Second Battle Barracks' Ying Zheng, who was sitting opposite.
Hearing this, Ma Liu twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "You are the First Battle Barracks of the Marine Division, the elite of our Marine Division. You should be the ones to fight a big battle. Our Second Battle Barracks can just play the drums, I think it's up to you." Our Second Battle Division remains in Gaizhou City to defend the city."
Both of them politely wanted to let the other person leave the city, leaving them to defend the city.
Seeing this, Xing Chao smiled happily and said: "You are quite humble and want to give each other the opportunity to fight a big battle. Let's do this. I don't think anyone should fight. I'll leave it to Ma Liu and Zhao Wu." Stay with the baggage camp."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Liu's expression turned bitter.
After being humble for a long time, the benefits did not fall on me in the end.
