Blood from Daming

Chapter 828
Although the 36th Battalion of rebels who besieged Jiangzhou knew that the Xue family army of Datong was coming to rescue them, they did not expect that the Xue family army would come so quickly and that there would be so many troops.

Zijinliang King Ziyong didn't have time to call up troops. Harizhu pulled the Ten Thousand Commander Aruhan and led the Mongolian cavalry to break through the king's central army. Wang Ziyong, who was about to resist, was kidnapped by his generals Zhang Shusheng and Ji San'er After leaving the Chinese army, Wang Ziyong had just left the camp of the Chinese army, and the entire camp was occupied by Aruhan's Mongolian army. The defeated soldiers who escaped soon told Wang Ziyong that the general Huang Hu had died among the rebellious army. Wang Ziyong knew that Sighing that the defeat was decided, he led some troops to vote for Wanrong to join Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang's troops.

The cavalry of Mongolian Aruhan came later, and the troops included Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Shenjiang, and Liu Guoyong's 4000 troops. They joined Xue Liu's Datong Army, with more than 2 soldiers and more than 6 horses. There are thousands of troops, and the rebel army of peasant origin was terrified, and the entire rebel army almost collapsed without fighting.

When the soldiers and civilians of Jiangzhou City learned that the rebels had arrived, they went out of the city under the leadership of Wang Dajun to gather and wipe out the remnants of the rebels, killing and capturing more than 5 rebels. Xue Liu turned to attack the rebel army in the direction of Wuping Pass. Who would have known that Zhao Sheng, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Wuzhi Zhang Cunmeng, Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, and Cao Luoru fled without a fight when they saw the opportunity? Shashen, King of Troubled Times, Zhang Miaoshou, Bai Jiuer, Gust of Wind, Qilang, Great Heavenly King, Nine Dragons, Four Heavenly Kings, Shangtian Monkey, Yatouzi, Qi Tianwang, and Yingshanhong also followed the wind and fled. Aruhan and Xue Liu did not fight to solve Wuping During the siege of Guan, Lei Batian and Wen Cunyang led the soldiers and civilians of Wuping Pass to leave the pass, but still seized a large number of tents, cattle, sheep, food and property lost by the rebels, which was a huge windfall.

Following Xue Yun's established policy, Xue Liu selectively recruited a group of peasant army captives, numbering around 5000, and then beheaded 2 rebel leaders and soldiers with blood debts according to the peasant army's mutual reports. He also released the remaining [-] rebels and distributed a small amount of food to allow them to vote for the rebels entrenched in Wanrong.

However, these rebel prisoners who went to Wanrong were attacked by Cao Wenzhao's troops from Qinshui on the way. The unarmed rebel prisoners were massacred by Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew. These rebel prisoners released by Xue Liu, Only five to six thousand rebels fled to Wanrong, and the rest of the rebels scattered and fled in all directions. Later, many rebel soldiers fled to North Zhili, Henan, and Shandong to wander and cause chaos.

Zijinliang led the breakthrough generals Li Zicheng, Mantianxing, Li Jinwang, Dangjia, Armor-piercing Cone, Eight King Kong, Huntianwang, Scorpion Block, Cuishanhu, Chongtianzhu, Oily, Yi Lieyan defeated to Wanrong, ten More than half of the more than half of the troops were lost, especially Li Jinwang, Dangjia, Sundering Cone, and Bajingang were almost completely wiped out. There were still nearly 8 or 36 horses, and Xue's army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. This made the rebels of the [-]th Battalion breathe a sigh of relief, but these rebels were no longer willing to fight with Xue's army, and clamored to return to Shaanxi.

Since the prestige of the defeated king in Jiangzhou was greatly reduced, the rebel army who had to be released again reported that the Xue family army was willing to fight with the rebel army. This made the rebel leader of the 36th Battalion even less willing to fight, and even hated Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. The two bad guys who actively advocated attacking Xue's army, especially Zhang Xianzhong's old grievances with Mizhi's Xue's army were exposed, and the angry leader of the 36th Battalion almost tore Zhang Xianzhong into pieces. The miserable Zhang Xianzhong took the lead in fleeing from Ronghe into Hancheng in Shaanxi.

Afterwards, King Zijinliang obeyed the opinions of the public, and when he and the old battalion who lighted the lamp came to vote from Daning and Shigu, he led the 36th battalion of rebels from Shaanxi to return to Shaanxi from Hancheng. After arriving in Hancheng, the rebels split into two major groups. Gao Yingxiang, Zhao Sheng who lighted the lamp, Zhang Cunmeng who didn't stick to the mud, general Li Zicheng, the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Luorucai, etc. stayed in southern Shaanxi for activities. Zijin Liang Wang led the old Hui Ma Shouying, Huntian King, Scorpion Block, Cuishanhu, Chongtianzhu, etc. for his own use. Prince Wang Zhaoxi, who is oily, Yilieyan, Shangtianhou, Yatouzi, etc. went north to join Suidezhou, and learned that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, had gone to Shanxi and captured Jiazhou City in one fell swoop. Mao Zhixian took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the guard Guo Jingsong was killed. Then Wang Ziyong fell into Fugu and Shenmu again, and occupied the entire northeast corner of Shaanxi.

Wang Ziyong's strength is still the leader of the Shaanxi Rebel Army, but Wang Ziyong, who has suffered a lot from walking at night for a long time, keeps a respectful distance from Mizhi Gao's army. Don't talk about taking down Suide City, just like this, Wang Zhaoxi and Wang Ziyong gradually fell into an incompatible situation.

In the battle between the Xue family army and the Jiangzhou rebel army in Shaanxi, apart from the guest army Cao Wenzhao, the official army in Pingyang Prefecture had a lot of profits. Xue Liu considered protecting the trade route from Hangzhou to Datong, and also to give To leave room for cooperation in the future, the Xue family army presented a large amount of spoils captured from the rebel army to the Pingyang government army, which was enough for the Pingyang government army to report a great achievement in annihilating tens of thousands of rebel troops. Received a gift from Chaganba Ri, and the two met in private several times in a row. Since then, Zhao Riman has become the inside line of the Xue family army buried in the official army of Pingyang Prefecture.

In order to strengthen the strength of Jiangzhou and Wuping Pass, Xue Liu solicited the opinions of Xue Jiu and Xue Shi. Xue Jiu and Xue Shi led the troops of the headquarters, and each led a thousand recruits recruited from captives to garrison Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass. The other [-] recruits were added to the troops of Xue Qingyi, General Xiao Can, and Liu Guoyong. On August [-], Xue Liu learned of the changes in Datong City, and hurriedly bid farewell to Li Zhizhou, Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, etc., and led his troops and A Ruhan The Mongolian army returned to Datong City.

On the eighth day of the eighth day of August, Yang Zhenlei received a secret report from diving guards that unidentified people were found in Chenghuang Temple, Jiangziya Temple, Fahua Temple, Xuanzhen Temple, Huayan Temple, Mosque, and Chunyang Palace in Datong City. Yang Zhenlei arrested them overnight. They found a few refugees who had sneaked into Datong City, and interrogated them with "tenderness and sweetness", only to learn that these people were the remaining officers and soldiers. There were no fewer than hundreds of officers and soldiers lurking in Datong City. When it arrives, we should cooperate with the inside and the outside to take down Datong City.

Yang Zhenlei immediately reported the information to Miss Yu. Although Miss Yu valued family affection, she was very decisive in dealing with the enemy. She immediately ordered Mr. Fei Qian, Mr. Wang Qian, and Mr. Wang Qian to guard the east, west and west gates. General Yu Sanqian guarded the north gate, and then contacted Luo Guohui, General Zhang Can, and General Liang to join the troops of the General Army Mansion to jointly eliminate the Shaanxi Ming army lurking in Datong City.

From the third watch to noon on the ninth day, a total of 1000 Shaanxi Ming troops lurking in Datong City were wiped out, seven officials from Datong City who participated in the conspiracy, 23 wealthy businessmen and gentry, and more than 3000 family servants were involved. The submersible guards are still digging deeper for information. Xue Jiajun's suppression operation made Hong Chengchou's original plan to attack Datong City on the ninth day of the first day fail.

On the evening of the 5th day of August, the trilateral governor of Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, led Yansui General Du Wenhuan, Yansui Governor Zhang Fuzhen, Yansui East Road General You Shilu, General He Huchen, Deputy General Ai Wannian, Generals Chen Hongfan, He Renlong, Wang Chengen's [-] horses arrived at the foot of Datong City, but the entire Datong City was surrounded by banners and fortified barriers, and there were many soldiers and horses patrolling the walls, Hong Chengchou knew that his plan had failed.

On the morning of the 5000th day of August, Hong Chengchou, who failed in the sneak attack, surrounded Datong City. However, the Ming army in Shaanxi lacked siege equipment. In the morning, more than [-] people were chopped down and pushed down from the city wall. The corpses spread all over the four gates of Datong City. Datong City was full of blood before the battle.

Hong Chengchou knew that those who were killed were his own officers and soldiers and his accomplices, officials and gentry family members. Now Hong Chengchou should have no extravagant hopes for Datong City. And to no avail."

Hong Chengchou was extremely resentful, Zhang Gonggong, Governor Zhao, Li Zhifu, Deputy General Yu, Commander Luo of Datong Wei, General Zhang Can, General Liang Can, and General Tu Qian all followed the traitor Xue Yun. The emperor's charisma only allowed a few small fish and shrimps to be recruited, not to mention all of them were wiped out in the end, and he also implicated a thousand elite soldiers of his own.

Hong Chengchou said: "Master Zhang, this is the end of the matter. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Xue family army is in Jiangzhou, we will take Datong City in one go and take down the old nest of the Xue family army."

Zhang Fuzhen, governor of Yansui, said: "My lord, our army has traveled thousands of miles and lacks siege equipment. If we want to attack a strong city like Datong City, and lose our internal support, it is almost impossible to succeed."

Hong Chengchou was annoyed by what Zhang Fuzhen said, but he had to admit that what Zhang Fuzhen said was reasonable, but the proud Hong Chengchou couldn't bear the ending of losing thousands of officers and troops and returning without success. The city of Datong.

Hong Chengchou said: "My lord, Xue Ni massacred my army and civilians in Datong City. I believe that not everyone in Datong City is against Xue Ni. I am ordered by the emperor to attack Xue Ni. I believe that the soldiers and civilians of Datong City will judge the situation. Draw a clear line with Xue Ni and return to the imperial court."

Zhang Fuzhen said in his heart that the Governor was blinded by hatred. This Datong City is one of the most fortified cities in the Ming Dynasty. With the strength of the Shaanxi Army, it can't be defeated at all. You must know that the Xue family has been operating in Datong City for many years. It can be said that everyone is united. What the adults said is a mess, even if the Shaanxi army really captures Datong City, I am afraid that the family members of the Ming army in Shaanxi will still wear hemp and mourning.

Zhang Fuzhen wanted to make a suggestion to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said: "Lord Zhao, the governor has made up his mind, so you don't need to say more."

Zhang Fuzhen couldn't help feeling sad when he saw Hong Chengchou's arbitrariness. At this time, Du Wenhuan, the general soldier of Yansui, came to Hong Chengchou and said in a low voice: "My lord, there are battle reports from Jiangzhou Xue's army and Shaanxi 36th Battalion of rogues."

Hong Chengchou said: "Oh, how is the battle between the two sides?"

Du Wenhuan, General Soldier of Yansui, said: "On the fourth day of August, Xue Liu and the Mongolian army broke through the 36 battalions that besieged Jiangzhou with more than 20 bandits, gathered and wiped out nearly 10 bandits, and the siege of Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass was resolved. , The king of bandits fled south with his own troops, and now the Xue family army and the Mongolian army are resting on the front line of Jiangzhou, and it is estimated that they will return north to Datong soon."
