The commander-in-chief of Xing'an Town, Shaanxi Province, was captured after being defeated by Li Taiping.Later, he gradually integrated into the Fourth Battalion, and was promoted by Li Taiping to be the captain of the Independent Fourth Battalion because of his good performance.

When Li Taiping's Eastern Expeditionary Army was defeated and left Zhengding Mansion, Ren Zhen and Ji Yanwu were in charge of cutting off the rear.Ji Yanwu was killed on the spot, but Ren Zhen was seriously injured and captured.Because this is the highest-ranking general of the bandits captured in this battle, Ren Zhen received good medical treatment.

After coming to Azig's army, Azig learned that Ren Zhen used to be the commander-in-chief of Xing'an Town of the imperial court, so he had the idea of ​​surrendering in his heart.So he hurried back to Beijing to find information about Ren Zhen's family.

When Azige learned that Ren Zhen's family members were still in Beijing, although they were imprisoned for several years because of Ren Zhen's surrender to the bandits, their lives were safe.So Azige was overjoyed and decided to recruit Ren Zhen.

After a fierce struggle, Ren Zhen thought of her family, her own future, and even her own life if she did not surrender.The only way to die through hardships through the ages is that Ren Zhen can surrender to the security regiment to save her life, and she can also return to the Tartars again to save her life.So in the end Ren Zhen decided to submit to the imperial court, which made Azig extremely happy, and thus he also had the idea of ​​recruiting Li Taiping.

It's just that now Li Taiping is already a tyrant, ruling millions of soldiers and civilians, and his way of thinking is quite different from Ren Zhen's.In the end, Li Taiping rejected Azig's offer to surrender.

Ren Zhen's injury has not recovered, so she did not personally lead the troops into battle, and is standing beside Azig at the moment.This is Azig's favor to Ren Zhen, and it also makes the Tatar generals glaring at Ren Zhen.

"Ren Zongbing, do you think I can conquer Taiyuan within a few days?" Looking at the Taiyuan City in the distance, Azig asked casually.

Because Ren Zhen surrendered after being captured instead of surrendering before the battle, and in order to alleviate the grievances of the generals, Azig only resumed his position as commander-in-chief, and did not increase his rank.But this is just the beginning. In order to flaunt the benefits of surrendering to the court, as long as a few battles are won, Ren Zhen will immediately be promoted and become rich and prosperous.

Ren Zhen seemed to know this too, so he kept his tail twitched during this time, for fear of arousing the hatred of the Tartar generals.However, when Azig asked, Ren Zhen could only tell the truth, even though he knew that what he said next would offend others, but if he didn't say it, he might offend Azige himself in the future.

Azig's words are so confident, Ren Zhen can only bite the bullet and pour cold water on him.

"My lord, the regiment bandit Li Taiping is brave and good at fighting, and he fights tenaciously. This Taiyuan City is not easy to fight."

"Oh? This king has an army of [-] and hundreds of cannons. Is this mere city of Taiyuan more difficult to fight than Datong City? God has the virtue of being good at life, so this king recruited Bandit Li. However, Bandit Li is arrogant and arrogant. Submit, the king personally raised the army, and ran over the praying mantis blocking the car to death."

"This? My lord, although the gangsters' fighting strength is not strong, but their fighting spirit is very tenacious. Is it really not worth it for me to fight against the gangsters?"

At this time, Zhang Yong, the general soldier of Gansu, was furious. He had been a soldier for more than ten years. He was a deputy general in the previous dynasty. .But seeing that Prince Ying favored Ren Zhen just to set a good example, he will surely be successful in the future, as long as the gangsters are not eliminated, Ren Zhen will be a high-ranking official, wealthy and wealthy, which made Zhang Yong very upset.If you really want to be an official, kill and set fire and be recruited.

So, he retorted: "Did Zongbing Ren stay with the regiment bandits for a long time, and forget the strength of the Guochao army? Didn't Li Bandit's strongest army of [-] soldiers also be destroyed by my [-] cavalry?" gone?"

Zhang Yong's words are really yin and yang, which makes people uncomfortable.Azig gave Zhang Yong a cold look, and Zhang Yong stopped talking.

"Zhang Zongbing, Li, Li's bandits lacked cavalry, so field battles were not good. And they were caught off guard at the time, and they failed before they had time to set up an formation. But this does not mean that it is impossible to defend the city. Even after failing to defend the city, they can still fight in the streets. In a small circle , The dynamite pack is very powerful, if I rush into the city with the army and fight Li Bandit in the street, the gain will not be worth the loss. There are even fanatical regiment members who will rush to the enemy with the dynamite pack in their arms, hoping to die together." Ren Zhen's eyes suddenly flickered Shrunk a bit, seemed to be greatly frightened.

Listening to Ren Zhen's explanation, Azig watched the siege ahead.

I saw thousands of bandits who surrendered screaming in unison, carrying ladders and rushing across the road filled in the moat.Immediately, arrows rained down from the top of the city, and rolling logs and rocks fell one after another.The archers who were in charge of suppressing the top of the city also fought back one after another, and the regiments whose bodies were exposed on the top of the city were shot and fell down one after another.

Perhaps the cursing between words had an effect, and some bandits who surrendered actually rebelled again.Suddenly, the attacking team became chaotic.Fortunately, the supervisory team behind hurried forward and killed the group of rebellious bandits on the spot, so the attack continued.

In less than three quarters of an hour, more than half of the [-] regiments of bandits who surrendered lost, but very few climbed onto the city wall.Although this attack was just a test for Azig, he actually had expectations.Since the defeat of Li Taiping's army, Azig believed that the bandits' morale had been demoralized. In addition, the former Paoze surrendered to the court and turned to attack them. Azig believed that the bandits in the city would collapse without a fight.It's just that I never thought it would still fail.

These people are still of great use, and they cannot be lost here in vain, so Azig asked Ming Jin to call them back.The next battle was the roar of cannons, and the army attacked the city.

Ren Zhen was relieved to see that the rest of the robes had come back alive.The glory and wealth bestowed by the imperial court is a reward, but these former members of the regiment are the cornerstone of their own glory and wealth.

After a long time, Azig asked again.

"Ren Zongbing, how do you think this group of bandits will attack?"

After hesitating for a while, Ren Zhen strengthened her determination, and then said
"The regiment bandits are basically in the countryside and not in the cities. Today, our army has tens of thousands of cavalry, and it happened to plunder the market towns and villages around the prefectures in southern Shanxi, destroying the cornerstone of Li's bandits. As long as the four fields are equal, the cities will be It’s like an isolated island in a lake, it can’t be connected any more, only to be destroyed. Even if the bandits go out of the city to rescue, I can gather troops to annihilate them with the cavalry.”

Since you betrayed, let's betray more thoroughly, Ren Zhen thought.Sometimes, the traitor is more vicious than the enemy, and the harm is even greater.This may be because Han people hate traitors far more than they hate enemies.

According to Ren Zhen's suggestion, Azig mobilized 100 cavalry with the cooperation of the regiments who surrendered, and ravaged Taiyuan Prefecture, Fenzhou Prefecture, Pingding Prefecture, Liaozhou and other places.The base of the Fourth Battalion suddenly became worse, and Li Taiping's rule was also crumbling.However, Taiyuan City is still persisting.
