Blood from Daming

Chapter 827
The rebel army led by Zijin Liang Wang himself attacked Jiangzhou City. Seeing that the Xue family army and the civilian army defending the city were exhausted, they suffered from the lack of ladders to attack the city. There are many dangers, but in fact it is as stable as Mount Tai.

The siege of the rebel army went on for an hour, and few soldiers were able to climb Jiangzhou City. Even if they did, they would surely die. , Rolling wood, lime, tiles, stones, feather arrows, etc., laid a thick layer of corpses under the city wall, at least six to seven thousand people.

Just now, the rebel army did not decline again and again, but had a mental fear. If the law enforcement team sent by Wang Ziyong hadn't been ruthless, making the attacking rebel army think that retreating is death, and the attack can still save their lives, the entire team would have died sooner or later. It collapsed.

At this time, the little red wolf returned to Wang Ziyong and whispered: "Brother, we can't fight any more. If the fight continues like this, our Fugu Rebels will lose all their money."

Wang Ziyong murmured, "But if you miss today, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to destroy Jiangzhou City."

The little red wolf said: "Brother, apart from the damage to the soldiers, it is impossible to capture Jiazhou City in this state."

Zhang Shusheng and Ji San'er couldn't bear the damage to the rebel army in their own department, and they tried hard to persuade Wang Ziyong to order the army to retreat. Seeing that his cronies were unwilling to fight again, Wang Ziyong couldn't help sighing in his heart, "It's you who want to fight, so it's time to retreat now." You people want to retire, Jiangzhou City has not been taken down now, it is simply because you can’t eat mutton to make you feel uncomfortable.

The little red wolf said anxiously at the side: "Brother, give the order quickly, our brothers can't afford to lose."

Zijin Liang Wang waved his hand in pain and said, "Retreat."

On the tower of the West Gate of Jiangzhou City, Li Zhizhou and Wang Dajun finally hoped that the peasant army would retreat like a tide. After the Jiangzhou army and civilians fought a day's battle, more than 3000 people died, because many of the people who helped the battle were inexperienced in fighting. Nearly [-] people were injured, and Jiangzhou City was in a pessimistic and desperate situation several times. Now that the peasant army has retreated, Li Zhizhou and Wang Dajun know that Jiangzhou City has been saved, and I believe that in a few days Datong's reinforcements will come Arrived.

Wang Ziyong watched the rebel soldiers retreat impatiently, and sighed secretly that the soldiers had no fighting spirit. At this time, Wang Ziyong got the rebels at Wuping Pass and returned without success. Wang Ziyong returned to the barracks sadly. Busy building siege equipment, did not launch an attack on Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass.

Early in the morning on the fourth day of August, Wang Ziyong just got up and was about to dance the road swordsmanship to relax the irritated mood of the past few days. When Wang Ziyong was halfway dancing the sword, the little red wolf came to Wang Ziyong. Wang Ziyong While dancing the sword, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with coming here so early?"

The little red wolf said: "Brother, the people below are here to report that Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang sent his cronies to protect the old camp yesterday and went to Wanrong County."

Wang Ziyong said: "Yesterday morning Gao Yingxiang came to me and said that he was worried that Datong's Xue family army would come to help, and that the fortified city would face internal and external attacks, so he hoped that the rebels would withdraw to Shaanxi."

The little red wolf said: "Gao Yingxiang's niece is Xue Yun's concubine, and he himself has been in cahoots with the Xue family army. He is procrastinating about attacking Wuping Pass. Brother, Gao Yingxiang has to guard against this person."

Wang Ziyong said: "Our rebel army had many contacts with the Xue family army in the past. Even our Fugu rebel army had formed an alliance with Mizhi Gao Guiying. Gao Yingxiang just didn't want to make too much trouble with the Xue family army, and he would not hinder the rebel army."

The little red wolf said: "Brother, Datong Xue's army is strong, we should also be prepared."

Wang Ziyong smiled and said: "No, this time I want to fight against Datong Xue's army."

The little red wolf was shocked and said: "Brother, Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass have not yet fallen. It is very dangerous to fight with Xue's army. The losses in the last battle in Pu County are still fresh in the memory of the brothers."

Wang Ziyong said: "Red Wolf, Datong Xue's army does not have muskets like Jiangnan's Xue's army. Even if Datong's Xue's army comes with more than 1 reinforcements, and the two sides are fighting in Jiangzhou, our rebel army of more than 20 people will kill Datong's Xue's army. "

The little red wolf said: "Brother, don't you have all eyes on the soldiers and horses of the old battalion in Daning?"

Wang Ziyong nodded and said: "The soldiers and horses of the old battalion have already arrived in Xiangning. As long as the Xue family army of Datong enters Jiangzhou, the soldiers and horses of the old battalion will enter Taiping County and cut off the retreat of the Xue family army of Datong. Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass are fish in the bottom of the pot."

The little red wolf said: "Brother, I'm afraid that we and Xue's army will lose both, and the court will take advantage of it."

Wang Ziyong said: "Defeat the Xue family army, take down Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass, Shanxi is in the pocket of our volunteer army, and we can achieve great success if we enter Yanjing in the east."

After hearing what Wang Ziyong said, the little red wolf wondered if the eldest brother had already considered becoming an emperor. He didn't know what to say for a while, so Wang Ziyong patted the little red wolf on the shoulder and said, "Brother, Gao Yingxiang is short-sighted and only cares about you." As far as the troops in his hands are concerned, even if they are short-changed, Gao Yingxiang returned to Shaanxi from Hancheng. Brother, don’t you know how Shaanxi has been ruined by our rebels in the past few years? difficulty."

The little red wolf thought for a while and said, "Brother means that we can go to Henan and Huguang."

Wang Ziyong said: "Our volunteer army has the ambition of the world, how can we be confined to the boundaries of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces?"

After Wang Ziyong sent the little red wolf away, he went back to his tent to have breakfast. At this time, a soldier rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Xue family army of Datong has passed the Taiping Pass."

Wang Ziyong was taken aback and said: "What, Xue's army has arrived in Taiping, have all the scouting horses released have died?"

The soldiers replied: "Your Majesty, the Xue family's army is coming so violently that the brothers from the scouting battalion have no time to withdraw. According to the estimates of the escaped brothers, the Xue family's army should have passed Taiping County for some time now."

Wang Ziyong asked: "Well, how many troops does Xue Jiajun have?"

The soldiers replied: "It is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry in the boundless mountains and fields."

Wang Zixin said that the entire Datong Mansion was only [-] officers and soldiers, and the guards might have tens of thousands of soldiers, but most of them were infantry, and it was impossible for the Xue family army to gather tens of thousands of soldiers in such a short period of time. The army, unless the Xue family army and the Shanxi official army joined forces, well, there is a possibility, the Xue family army and the Ming court official army were originally a nest of snakes and rats.

In fact, Wang Ziyong still had another idea in his heart, that is, Tan Ma deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Xue family army in order to shirk his responsibility. However, no matter how few Xue family troops were, there might be tens of thousands of people coming south. Wang Ziyong knew that time was running out, so he immediately sent an order 36 The big account of the battalion rebels discusses matters.

Wang Ziyong's personal soldiers took the arrows out of the gate of the Chinese army, and went to invite the leader of the 36th Battalion of the Rebel Army to come to Wang Ziyong's Chinese army to discuss matters. Wang Ziyong waited for a quarter of an hour in the Chinese army tent. Wang Jiayin's former subordinate Huang Hu, who was defeated and turned to him, had already gone to Wang's own account to listen to orders.

Wang Ziyong was chatting with Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, and Huang Hu when Ma Shouying rushed into the tent of the Chinese army and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Xue family army has arrived."

Wang Ziyong was shocked and said: "Boss Ma, isn't the Xue family army still in peace?"

The old man returned to Ma Shouying and said: "Your Majesty, they are Mongolian iron cavalry, and Xue's army has colluded with the Mongols."

Wang Ziyong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying's words, so he ignored the relationship between the Xue family army and the Mongols. The Mongols have one man, two horses and three horses. They really come and go without a trace, but he led the 36 battalion of rebels to attack Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass were less than four days old. How could this Mongolian iron cavalry come to Jiangzhou so quickly? Wang Ziyong's head was in chaos.

The old man returned to Ma Shou and shouted urgently: "My lord, give the order to retreat quickly, or it will be too late."

When Ma Shouying called, Wang Ziyong said as if waking up from a dream: "Okay, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Huang Hu, you all lead your troops to resist the Mongolian army and Xue's army. When my rebel army gathers, we will annihilate the Mongolian army and Xue's army in one fell swoop."

The old man returned to Ma Shouying and said: "Your Majesty, the rebel camps of Li Jinwang, Dangjia, Sundering Cone, and Bajingang in the north have been defeated. Let's retreat quickly, or we won't be able to run away when it is too late." Ziyong, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Huang Hu and others were stunned. They didn't know whether to continue to resist the Mongolian army and the Xue family's allied forces, or to follow the old Huihui Ma Shouying's advice and flee for their lives.
