In Xin Si (the second day of the second day), the Huang Chao Army attacked Tongguan again, and transported many equipment and vehicles from the rear regardless of the cost; Zhang Chengfan tried his best to resist. From Yin Shi to Shen Shi, Guan Shangjun’s bow and arrows were no longer available, so he used it. The stone was thrown at the yellow nest army;
There was a trench outside Tongguan, and the Huangchao army drove the prisoners and civilians to wrap up the bales of firewood to flush the trenches, and dug a pile of soil on the car, and soon followed. In a short while, the three deep trenches before the customs were about to be filled up.
Therefore, Huang Chao's army crossed the trenches and went straight to the city to set up camp. At night, arson burned all the closed buildings clean. Zhang Chengfan was divided into 800 soldiers and handed over to the King's Division, which made him refuse to guard the forbidden pit. When the King's Division led his army to the forbidden pit, the Huangchao Army had passed.
In the morning of Renwu (third day), the Huang Chao army attacked Tongguan from both sides inside and outside, shutting down the Tang Shou army and disintegrating, Wang Shi would commit suicide; Zhang Chengfan in civilian clothes led the remaining soldiers to escape back to Chang'an, walked to Yehuquan, and encountered Fengtian reinforcements one after another. Two thousand people, Zhang Chengfan thumped their hands and shouted: "You are late!"
So Fengtian soldiers hurriedly returned to the capital, and began to looted and scattered halfway.
The following troops from Boye Town and Fengxiang Town came to Weiqiao. They happened to encounter the new army recruited by the capital. They all wore new clothes and furs. They couldn’t help being very angry, saying, “What credit do these guys have to wear? With such good clothes, we fought desperately, but we got cold and starved!" So we robbed the new army on the spot until it collapsed and fled, and then transferred to the Huang Chao army as a guide and set off for Chang'an.
Huang Chao led his army into Huazhou, leaving his army to guard Qiao Qian. Located in Puzhou’s Tanghe Middle (now Puzhou Town, Yongji County, Shanxi Province), the Jiedu Commander had a military rebellion. King Chongrong of Duyu raised his army and put the Jiedu Commander Li Du under house arrest. After he established himself as the Jiedu Commander, he asked Huang Chao Relegated to retain the original position and personnel.
So on the fourth day of Guiwei (the fourth day), the Tang Xizong in the city of Chang'an once again issued an edict, with the intention of re-invigorating Huang Chao's subordinates. However, then in Zheng County, the state city of Huazhou,
"What, I am the king of Dongping, Tianping, Taining, Kanghua, Yicheng, and Pinglu are the five towns of Jiedu; Prince Shaofu, Tejin, Shangzhu Kingdom; this is to treat me as Anlushan, Shi Si Is Ming Zhiliu?..."
A gold-clad yellow cedar yellow nest was surrounded by a group of civil and martial arts, and he looked at Mu Haogu, the envoy who came tremblingly to announce the decree, and laughed loudly at the left and right.
"However, since I am determined to bring the sky to make up for peace and slander the people, let this treasure of the world be in the hands of your polo boy and send it for a few more days..."
At the same time, the disintegrated Shence New Army and Fengtian Soldiers have already fled into the city of Chang'an one after another; and began to take advantage of the chaos and armed robbery to rob people in the city. At this time, it was the moment when a hundred officials retired from the court. I heard that the rebels had entered Chang'an City. The officials and the officials could not help but rush away from you outside the Yintai Gate, and each parted ways and hid.
After hearing the news, the prime minister Zheng Tian called the squads in the Ouchi and the remaining Beiya imperial army to prepare for the enemy; however, no one responded, and Jing Zhao Yin Yang Zhizhi even abandoned the crown and fled. Only Zuo Jinwu Street Envoy Zheng Yuangui led hundreds of bad people, bad handsome men and bad boys to come to meet.
So he decided to enter the Imperial Palace to meet the emperor, and send people to the Zhongwu army station outside the city to contact Yang Fuguang, who was in town, to send troops into the city to maintain and suppress the situation. However, Zheng Tian rushed for nothing in the Hanliang Hall where the emperor stayed.
At the same time, Tian Lingzi, who secretly sneaked back to Chang'an, also led five hundred soldiers from the Shence Army, and guarded Tang Xizong from Jinguangmen after dressing. There were only four kings including Fu Wang, Mu Wang, Ze Wang, and Shou Wang. The king and his concubines drove away with Luan.
However, the people of Hecheng, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, and the palace officials of the Ouchi were unknown to the emperor.
After Tang Xizong came out of Beijing, he drove around day and night, and most of his followers and clan families could not keep up. They were left behind and scattered all the way. After the news that Tang Xizong's car had gone away gradually spread, the sergeants in Chang'an and the people of Fangshi rushed into the official office and the imperial treasury to steal the golden silk.
At this time, Zheng Tian, who was still working hard to save the situation in the city, received another bad news again. Yang Fuguang, the superintendent of the camp who had promised to bring troops into the city, after hearing the news that the emperor had abandoned and fled, he changed his course on the spot and left the camp and the baggage. He led his troops to the west and went to follow the trail of the holy driver.
"How could it be like this, the eunuch missed the country, and the eunuch missed the country!! 1"
Zheng Tian, who only felt that the sky was broken and the earth was irreparably broken, seemed to be much older all of a sudden; he could only scream at the left and right who were crying and crying.
After venting, he still managed to endure the grief and disappointment in his heart under the influence of reason, and ordered the left and right to collect the horses of Ouchi Zhuyuan; he also summoned the family and the trilogy in the city, and then drove out of the already unguarded. Xuanwumen went.
"Old man, shall we wait to follow the holy driver..."
A car driver is here to ask for instructions
"No, I'm going to Fengtian to preside over the situation. In the garrison area of the eight towns in the west of Beijing, there are still some soldiers and horses stationed in the battalion. Maybe this can make a difference in the future..."
Zheng Tian, who was strong at this moment, regained his tenacity and determination, as if something was burning in his eyes.
. . . . . . . . .
In Yuezhou, Zhou Huaian also watched several recent battle reports with mixed feelings.
First of all, Lei Mansuo was the key attack. After being attacked by firearms by water wheels and ships on the Dongting Lake, the whole army collapsed on the spot; although it quickly regained its momentum after retreating ten miles from the lake. Stand firm
However, he was attacked and attacked by Liu Liumao, the former army general, and several battalions of Taiping cavalry and cavalry battalions. As a result, morale collapsed again, and ducks were completely released between the plains and waters of the Dongting Lake basin.
The result was the anticipated encirclement and annihilation battle that required careful arrangements, and it became a Qingqi defeat and follow-up chase. As the key target, Lei Man is clearly whereabouts, and it disturbs the ceremonial battle.
However, as a product of a chain reaction, the Shimenman leader Xiangzhu, who was burning on the north shore of Dongting Lake, and his 50,000 17-hole coalition forces began to retreat one after another.
Although the navy was assembled in a remedial nature and cooperated with the local turrets and defenses that had not fallen yet to intercept, most of the native-barbarian coalition forces, mainly Xiangzhu headquarters, were able to withdraw from the territory of Yuezhou and stay behind. There are devastated places and messy people.
Then came the news from the southern division. Since Zhou Yue was killed in the army, the Shaozhou prefecture city of Shaoyang has also experienced civil strife and fighting by various forces; therefore, under the leadership of the newly descended Min Xun and Deng Chuna, Zhao Yingong led The second hussar camp easily entered the city to occupy the key.
After the subsequent arrival of several battalions and partial divisions, the situation in Shaoyang City is settled, and a new round of recruitment and capture of prisoners, and gentry trials will begin; according to the other party, as long as a few more garrison battalions are added, They can then take out their hands to compete for the territory of Shaozhou and carry out more in-depth cleanup and suppression.
Well, after the three-way Xiangxi of the five-way enemy army was solved, Zhou Huaian wanted to try micro-manipulation again and even personally direct the plan to kill the enemy, so he failed, so he could only return to the ship obediently. Go, continue to march towards Jiangling with your own Chinese army's escort force.
However, in the process of sailing, he received new news and changes; it was the so-called Jingnan Jiedu envoy Song Hao who attacked Guizhou, Xiazhou, Wanzhou and other places on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River; echoed by the local gentry and tycoons , With cooperation, expelled and destroyed the local rebels that belonged to Jiangling in name;
Then he sent deputy envoy Duan Yanmo to the south to spend Lishui non-stop, and attacked the territory of Lizhou controlled by Xiangzhu, and even the three counties of Xia'an, Shimen, and Cili; only the state city of Liyang was left because of Xiangzhu. The troops rushed back in advance, and suppressed and slaughtered the changes of the wealthy and big households in the city, and they were able to save it for the time being.
Therefore, the newly-launched Jingnan Jiedu ambassador, Song Hao, who was attacking Jingzhou territory outside of Liu Jurong, became the biggest winner of this five-way use of troops. (End of this chapter)
