The city gate at the corner of Tanzhou unexpectedly opened automatically, and there were people greeted at the top of the city. With a direct battalion school Wei Ge Congzhou who was first investigating and watching the enemy's situation under the southeast corner of Tanzhou, he couldn't help but stunned in a daze, and then he resolutely said to the deployment behind him:
"The first regiment, which is fully equipped, will rush up with me to find out.. Inform the other three regiments to change into crossbows and knife platoons, and be ready to follow suit..."
"promise.."
Left and right responded loudly, and the team quickly gathered into a column with a spearman in front and a row of swords on both wings, and a small group of fire throwers in the middle.
Then, like a green arrow, they flew across the green wilderness of weeds, and then climbed over the dry city, and disappeared between the corridors of the doorway with a forward-looking aura, leaving only the echo of footsteps and gasps. . Then it was like being swallowed by something invisible, without any sound or repercussions.
The other three regiment captains who followed up afterwards couldn't help but coveted them face to face. They still called for and led the respective troops in unison, and continued to move closer to the doorway that had not yet been closed.
At this time, there was a change again on the city's head. The ochre flag that was originally hung on the gate shook and fell down; then a cyan flag embroidered with the two characters Taiping was inserted. The peace soldiers who rushed over couldn't help but slow down and thunderously cheered.
On the top of the city, a group of soldiers brought by Ge Congzhou was taking over and controlling the vital points, and then some people were separated to mix with Zhu Cun's soldiers, and re-arranged defense lines and lines along the two ends and inside of the city wall. Position, just in case.
"In the next Pengcuan, I can call my regimental leader Peng well; also ask Xiaowei Ge to speak for me in front of your army master..."
The Xiao Wu gate guard also followed behind him in a low voice and begged.
"I don't know anything about the changes and plans that happened in this city..."
Afterwards, Zhou Huaian, who was sitting and commanding five old battalions in the east and north of the city, suppressed and recruited the rebels stationed outside the city, also received the corresponding news that he was speeding up.
"This is how you can enter the city, which is great... Let the directly under the standby campfire quickly enter the reinforcements..."
Immediately he ordered:
"Use more fire-throwing teams and firearms, and then continue to capture the city gates along the city wall to the south and east... Before dark, I need to see at least three portals that can echo each other..."
"Teach the brigade and the rear battalions to continue to stand by with me, just in case...at least, don't rush to divide the troops until you find out the situation in the city."
. . . . . .
And between the inner city of Tanzhou and the city of Yacheng, before the government building, which has been burnt by the raging fire, and can no longer be rescued and restored; it has been covered by overlapping corpses and wanton flowing blood. full of,
And in the streets extending in all directions, there were soldiers with sticks in constant open fire escorting all kinds of prisoners. They are either gray-headed, with disheveled heads, or they are covered with dry blood and mud, or they are covered with cuts and bruises; without exception, they are tied to their arms and fall on the ground without any exception;
Amid the continuous shouts and shouts, the fully-clothed soldiers stomped on their backs and lifted their swords down. The countless ray of blood clinging to the ground splashed and separated their heads. Even if some of the old and weak women and children were crying and crying, they couldn't let these stone-faced executioners hesitate and move for a moment.
He Junhou, the commander of Yokogawa, standing on a high platform with a thick bloody cloth tape wrapped around his neck, felt the scorching hot wind blown from behind by the raging flames, and looked around at the bloody and cruel blood. One scene is full of distorted and wanton pleasure.
Why can't these grassroots and mud legs die obediently? He was originally an inexperienced little official, but in any case he is also a domineering and superior role in front of most mud legs. How could he have the opportunity to let them be so humble and humble like an ant together with him? Huan with arms.
Later, in order to protect themselves and settle accounts with the enemy, they were able to join these grass thieves; and they were able to take advantage of the momentum. Therefore, every time he thinks about it is both contradictory and repetitive, he can't wait to take off this filthy skin, but he is reluctant to bear the convenience and privileges that this identity brings;
After all, if there weren't these people who swarmed and drafted and thieves to knock down and trample the wealthy families, officials and eunuchs on the ground; what opportunity would he have to be used by those women who have a wealth of wealth, and enjoy the rich living and life of these people? Utilization of utensils and pie.
He even saw with his own eyes how those rich and noble people who would not even look at him with their own eyes, under the tactics of these poor, lowly and poor people, were so miserable that they wanted to die but couldn't.
If he was originally a small official, maybe he would spend his entire life running for these people to make small runs, he can only take a big family house and let it go, and the maid who has been played rotten by the maid will serve as a rare grace, and then raise it. I don't know who's the children, but continue to flatter the little leftovers thrown out by the big family.
On the other hand, there are all kinds of concealed heart palpitations and worries. He has personally seen the fate of the thieves and gangsters captured by the government, and even personally gave them torture and tactics; but when he thinks that once he fails, he loses his sight. Not to mention, these methods are not so pleasant to fall on one's own body.
Fortunately, the present God suddenly opened his eyes and gave him a path that has the best of both worlds to choose; anyway, the court became a member of the army, not only became a pastoral keeper of salaries and wealth, but also able to continue. Enjoy the wealth, children and other benefits that you have collected from your own way.
That was the letter of invitation and surrender jointly signed by Cao Quanzhu and Liu Jurong from Shannan Jiedu and dozens of different ranks. Directly appointed him as Tanzhou governor and Tan Yueheng three states defense envoy.
Really a senior official from the fifth rank, even the benefactor of his own small patron (Dianshi) back then, the big patron (capturing the thief), only saw one glance at the person called "Han San Tie" (Tie Xin) in the private house. , Tiekou, Tiefen), the provincial governor of the state, also has to stay low and be a defender of the party who goes down in a low voice.
Could it be that there is something more pleasurable in the world; and the only thing that can hinder and hinder him from leading his subordinates to a rich future is obviously the grass thieves in the city who are still stubbornly resisting.
Then, he hooked up with He Huaizhong, another warlord who had turned into a robber from a run-down businessman. After a lot of profit-seeking thoughts repeated with Xiao Yi's gains and losses, he did not hesitate to raise the butcher knife to his colleagues who had been side by side against the enemy. As long as they are killed and injured more here, the big gift they handed over will be thicker and more powerful.
As for the other military commander, Liu Huaizhang, he was an old salt owl with a hard time, but he was an old stubborn stubborn who couldn't make money in daily life. When the two of them had determined that one would act as a defensive officer and the other would act as a governor, they were not sure to persuade him to cooperate, so they would simply tidy up together. The only accident was the few rebels who had been dispatched to Tanzhou a few days ago to replenish their troops and collect food, so they were delayed until now and started.
But apart from those who have been secretly attracted by himself, what else can the grass thieves do even if they die; the big deal is that if he distributes some money and food, he can gather tens of thousands of people in a short time. The head is coming. In this way, even if the officers and soldiers have other thoughts and repetitions, they still have room to deal with this big city.
It can be seen that Zhuge Shuang, who made his fortune by betraying Pang Xun’s Township Party, and Bi Shiduo and his ilk, who now surrendered to officials by surrendering the rebel veterans’ relatives, has opened up a smooth road for them. With his excitement, the wound on his neck cracked open again, and red and greasy blood was oozing out.
"Report to the army master,"
At this time, a general who appeared to be covered in soot, crossed the street in the smoke to arch his hand.
"In the city, there are eleven resident sites for five troops and horses. The brothers have already leveled the seven largest places... But the remaining three places have been escaping, and the battalions are stepping up their attacks and searching nearby..."
Then he hesitated and bowed his head slightly.
"It's just that there is still a place where the Kokang Army's garrison is emptied, but I don't know where to hide.. Army Master He also asks you to be careful..."
"Is that Zhu Ada who broke the son, but it's okay, I will pay attention and beware of it... But you have to pay more attention to it..."
He Junhou waved his hand slightly impatiently.
"As long as you close the nine doors and exits and then deal with the end of your hand, there will be time in the future to slowly enclose these ruins in the city..."
"By the way, Ma Wu, have you watched Liu (Huaizhang)'s old mansion and family members? It's useful for me to make it clear..."
Then he turned and said to another general.
"Although He Jiu claimed to have suppressed his old ministry, it still takes some effort on the bright side..."
"Zheng Qi'er, you have to stare at this guy to prevent him from taking the opportunity to use what means. At first, it was said that the two families shared Liu Lao and the other tribes, but you can't let him take advantage of it..."
However, as if he was talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao would have arrived. He Junhou was instructing a group of subordinates, and saw a group of people with helmets and armors coming through the fireworks, and the leader was the Lanshan Army Master He Huaizhong;
He couldn't help but quickly dismissed these subordinates, put a rather bright smile on his deep-faced face, and took the initiative to greet him.
"What the hell, why bother you coming here... There were still illiterate under the commander of the dead ghost Liu, and if I asked me to kill a batch of them, I would stop..."
"Thank you, there is no problem for the time being, but when I scraped the city this time, I found a rare thing..."
He Huaizhong, who had a pocked face and a gloomy temperament, also stretched out a dark face and smiled.
"I don't know if Brother He can appreciate it for me... see if it's worth your blue jade inkstone..."
"But I don't know what a rare thing it is..."
He Junhou suddenly felt a little moved. Since he became a military commander, he has had some arty hobbies, and he has not collected less and exchanged corresponding things in private. Then, he saw that the other party pulled out a beautiful cylinder, handed it to the leading officer, and then delivered it to him.
"This is you.."
He Junhou was waiting to take over the game, but suddenly saw a malicious expression on the general's official face, he couldn't help being shocked in his heart and suddenly wanted to step back and call to the left and right;
But he didn't prevent the opponent from turning the cylinder that was close at hand. Suddenly he counted and nailed a few things to his body. Then he fell slowly and fell down slowly, and was given a quick hand by the general officer. Hold on, and then he said in a low voice.
"He's all the way through. The quiver is filled with arrow poison wood made exclusively from Nanyi.. If you see blood, you can't count on it. I will take care of your wives, concubines and children. I will take care of your elders. ..."
However, He Junhou, who tried to stare wide and wished to swallow the opponent, turned his head with great difficulty and turned to look on the side with cold eyes, but he still used his body to block the sight of the surrounding subordinates, He Huaizhong and others, slowly. Lost the last consciousness.
The general officer then pulled out the sharp object stuck in the corpse, and squeezed the wound on the neck, directly causing bleeding from the healing area again, and then shouted in panic:
"Come here, it's not good, the army owner's injury has recurred..."
And He Huaizhong, who quietly retreated in this chaotic scene, also sighed and felt in his heart secretly. Although the conditions for the opponent to pull him back against the water seem quite good, how can a Tanzhou governor who has been under the control of a man be compared with the defense of the three states;
Now most of the thorns and variables in the city have been cleaned up, and the remaining two evenly matched ones have the benefits of sharing all the benefits. How can it be compared to the benefits of a single monopoly; as the saying goes, when a man is judged, it is the way to wealth and wealth. It.
The next step is to get the secret envoys and documents from the imperial court, and shoushen, who was caught in the hands of the fornicating back house, to preemptively seize them. He Huaizhong, who was full of thoughts, was thinking about returning to his army, and saw several generals gathered like ants on a hot pot.
"Boss,"
"Military owner..."
"Something is bad..."
"That Zhu Ada, who escaped and disappeared, brought some people back to death..."
"Asshole, what are these words..."
He Huaizhong could not help but sternly scolded.
"There are only so many people in his camp, who are so beggars and flowers, what's so fuss about"
"It's not that those beggars are all over the top, all of them are brave and brave and brave and resistant to war..."
These ministers are rushing to talk.
"Brothers are smashing the city all around, and they were unstoppable for a while. They have already lost a few streaks..."
"Damn thing, these people came out of there again..."
He Huaizhong couldn't help but gritted his teeth in annoyance, and unexpectedly, at this juncture, there were accidents and accidents.
"Are the blind and fools who are responsible for guarding the nine gates..."
You know, originally his Lanshan Army was known as 8,000 troops, and after cooperating with the Hengjiang Army who claimed to be 9,000 troops, it was enough to suppress all the situation in the city; there was even more power to clean up and annex the remnants of the dead ghost Liu Laobie. More than four thousand soldiers. Coupled with some other head battalion officers who had been drawn over, it was enough to support their great cause anyway.
That's why he had to make up his mind to get rid of He Junhou's temporary ally and leader as soon as he saw success, and to seize the dominant power in the situation in Tanzhou City; however, a ran away Zhu Ada easily let him His serial planning has become an imminent crisis and a joke.
Now the remnant of Liu Laobei in the city is suppressed by him, not only cannot be used, but also divided into supervision; and the most powerful Hengjiang Army as a cooperative and allied aid has just been designed by him to kill the leader, just when the internal group of dragons has no leader. , And it's not so easy for him to use.
But there are still other remnants of resistance in the city, and Zhu Ada has attracted these unknown foreign aids. Under these internal and external troubles, he can only rely on the Lanshan Army that he controls to bear and respond. He suddenly felt a little haggard and inexplicably regretful.
