"Last night on New Year's Eve, firecrackers were set off everywhere in the city. At midnight, the rebels and thieves set fire to the forage in the city. The city just thought it was a fire and ignored it. They sent the garrison closest to the city gate. Then the thieves who sneaked into the city in advance
After attacking the city gate and opening the city gate, a large number of rioters and thieves outside the city took the opportunity to break into the city, roaring in chaos, setting fires everywhere, and also attacked the county governor's house and barracks..."
"What?" Chen Mengren was shocked. "The governor of Nanle is dead? Where are the county soldiers?"
After just a few days of delay, Chen Mengren was extremely angry when such a big mess and trouble arose.
"No, the prefect is not dead. There are troops stationed in the county governor's mansion and it was not attacked by the mob, but a group of thieves broke into the county government office and killed Nan Lelingge..."
"The county magistrate was executed?"
When Chen Mengren heard the news, his expression was completely solemn. The rebels attacked and killed the garrison, attacked the county government, and then killed the county magistrate. This was already a formal rebellion, not a civil commotion!
"What are the losses of the county soldiers?"
"The thieves shouted and broke up the officers and soldiers. The spies sent by the villain to Nanle City did not dare to delay. They took advantage of the chaos and left the city overnight. They changed horses outside the city and then the news came. The specific situation needs to be explored again."
Chen Mengren nodded. It would be good to get such news, which would allow him to react in the shortest possible time.
"Old cow!" he shouted loudly.
"Here!" the Guards Hou responded with clasped fists.
"Inform the left camp that the march will be assembled within two quarters of an hour."
Niu Da responded and rushed out to convey the order. Such a big change had occurred in Nanle City, and the Hedong Army could not stay where it was. And by advancing into Nanle at this time, it could stabilize the local people's hearts and win the hearts of the people to the maximum extent.
"Send someone to Nanle again and continue to investigate. If anything happens, report back immediately."
"promise."
…
At this moment, in the town market twenty miles outside Nanle City, Li Guohua, Wang Ding, and Zhang Ke, the bandit leaders who were called "rebellion" by Chen Mengren, were sitting together. "What's the next step?"
The three of them were surrounded by enchanting and beautiful women. However, these women looked frightened, but they were the family members of the wealthy family and Nanle Ling who were destroyed during the turmoil in Nanle City. Even now, they can't escape being raped and humiliated.
destiny.
"Find a county town to capture, defend the city, and then send some troops to attack the wealthy farms and transport their grain and grass into the city. Wait for the arrival of the troops of King Daliang and King Dingyang." Zhang Ke, a grounded scholar, still has two brains.
road.
"It's like the old trick of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to accumulate food and slowly become king. We only have one day today, and nearly a thousand people have come to vote. After the news spreads, there will be more people coming tomorrow." After a pause.
Zhang Ke said again.
"How to deal with the officers and soldiers coming?" Li Guohua asked again.
"Officers and soldiers? Where did they come from? How many soldiers did Nanle County have in total? Eight thousand? Seven thousand? Six thousand? Less than ten thousand anyway." As a border county, Nanle County had nearly 30,000 troops at most, but Nanle County had
The last governor of Le Shang was an important minister of the King of Qi. After the civil war broke out between the King of Qi and Zhenguo Gong Tian Sheng, the governor ordered 20,000 troops to march eastward. He was defeated and died. The soldiers of Nanle County were in despair.
"If we had our current strength on New Year's Eve, we might have conquered Nanle City." Zhang Ke was not worried about this at all. Moreover, "We have killed all the county officials. What officers and soldiers are we afraid of?"
"The officers and soldiers really don't have anything to worry about. By the time they find out our strength, we will be in a strong position. We can advance, attack, retreat or defend. There are nearly two hundred miles around. The only thing we should worry about is the Han army in the west. Didn't those gentlemen say
Now, the King of Tang has ordered Zhu Biao and the Hedong Army to quell the rebellion. Even if we have ten times more people, we still won’t be enough for the Hedong Army to see.” Among the three, only Wang Ding, who was born in Jianghu, remained calm.
Mu Weiyang: "We can't afford to offend you!"
"He is the commander-in-chief of Beiyu. What does it have to do with our Qi State? Then why did the King of Tang send him here?" Li Guohua said angrily. As a member of the Tang King's camp, how could the Qi State not have the legend of Zhu Biao spread?
Li Guohua looked down upon the county soldiers of Nanle County, but they would never dare to fight against the Hedong Army.
"The mind is decisive. The generals are like gods and the courage is like tigers. The Hedong army is like a dragon, and we are like ants. We cannot compare. We can only avoid it and run away."
"It is rumored that the Han army in the west is just Zhu Biao's vanguard, and its strength is not heavy. King Daliang, King Dingyang, and Feng Liyan have 200,000 rebels. If the total is clever, it may not be impossible to defeat. If we can defeat the Hedong army
Being the vanguard not only increased our momentum, but also suppressed Zhu Biao's prestige.
This person's reputation is so great that most people can't even think of resisting after hearing about him. He wants a large army to come to our Qi country, and half of the situation can be settled in an instant. Where will there be a place for us to work around?
But if he had taken the blow first, most of Zhu Biao's prestige would have been destroyed. The princes from all over the territory of our Qi State would never be respectful to him again and would not dare to question him at all. At that time, the Qi State would continue to be in chaos, and we would be in troubled waters.
Only with fish can we have the opportunity to develop!"
"Brother Zhang is right."
"That's what we'll do. Contact Prince Liang and the others immediately..."
Chen Mengren never expected that a group of rioters who could not even be called militia would come to distract him. More than 6,000 cavalry from Zuoying, who took the lead, headed off through the snow under the leadership of captain Wang Guang.
At the same time, the three rebel leaders who were stationed in the east of Nanle County, namely Daliang King, Dingyang King, and Feng Liyan, agreed to the proposal of Wang Ding, Li Guohua, and Zhang Ke. They sent Huang Wen'an, the young leader of the army, to lead the troops to join them.
The Nan Leyi Army Headquarters attacked Xiangcheng again and created a great momentum to attract the attention of the Hedong Army. The three of them then led an elite force to encircle them.
However, most of the people under their command were rioters, and these people acted in chaos. When Huang Wen'an joined forces with Li Guohua, Wang Ding, and Zhang Ke, and marched to Xiangcheng, south of Nanle City, three full days had passed.
At this time, the Zuoying Cavalry led by Wang Guang had arrived at Nanle County City.
On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a group of people set out from Nanle County City, braving the biting north wind and heavy snow, and marched overnight towards Xiangcheng.
The torches they held were like stars on the ground, lighting up the silent night.
The weather was very cold. The wind and snow blew against their shirts, and soon many people had a sheet of white ice on their bodies. Even though the weather was very cold, no one in the army was shivering from the cold. Because every day they
In addition to the armor, the personal clothes also include thick cotton jackets, cotton trousers, and cotton robes.
There is no fear of war on the face of every soldier, but only excitement. They are eager for a decent battle to test their actual ability. To prove that even if they are new recruits, they will not lose the face of the Hedong Army.
, it will not reduce the prestige of the Hedong Army. It will not reduce the combat power of the Hedong Army!
With a size of 170,000, plus the retirement of the original sergeants, it is easy to imagine how much the army will expand. At present, half of the sergeants of the Hedong Army, both infantry and cavalry, are rookies who have never been on the battlefield. They can only know about the war from the mouths of their seniors.
of blood and supreme glory.
But they are not afraid of the blood of war, but only admire the supreme glory.
Just because the Hedong Army gained too much face for the Northern Han Dynasty.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year in the 11th year of Yuanwu, more than 20,000 rebels united together and began to attack Xiangcheng. Three to four hundred people died that day. There were not many county soldiers in Xiangcheng, and there was only a small village with about 400 people.
However, the gentry and wealthy households in the city all had the strength and money to contribute. At once, they summoned two thousand people to defend the city. With the cooperation of more than 400 county soldiers and 400 to 500 servants to protect the courtyard, the rebels outside the city could not take it down.
, not surprising.
However, for the rebels, who could also be said to be rioters, the loss of these three to four hundred people did not affect their size. In just one day, thousands more people from all over the country came to join them.
And the news they brought was also beneficial to them. There were more or less civil unrest in the towns and villages around Xiangcheng. Many people were inspired by them and broke into the big houses in the town to burn, kill and loot. These people in the rural towns
If they have made enough noise, they will definitely come to the county seat. Once they are gathered together, they will be a considerable force.
Qingshan Market. This is the largest market between Xiangcheng and Nanle County.
Before the civil war in Qi, it was a prosperous place, and it was nicknamed Xiao Nanxiang. After the civil war in Qi, the market was greatly affected, but in short, it was still a blessed place in Nanle County.
But now, after being captured by Zhang Ke with his tricks, the entire market was looted and turned into a place where men, bullies, and women do evil.
It’s not that there are really no good people in the rebel army. There is no good team that really fights for the lives of the people. It’s that the rebel army is full of good and bad, harboring evil and evil. When many teams were formed, the military discipline was really worrying. And some local ruffians and gangsters
Gangsters, or gangsters and bullies who hang out a lot will be better, more comfortable, and more powerful than honest farmers and good people.
Outside the south gate of Qingshanji, more than ten people walked over slowly.
"Who are they?" Seeing the dozen or so people approaching, someone asked from the top of the south gate. It was getting late at this time and the city gate was closed. When they saw someone coming in from outside, the people on the top of the city naturally became more vigilant.
"You are so brave, you don't even recognize me!"
There were more shouts and curses from below, but the people at the top of the city did not retaliate angrily. Instead, they hurriedly held up torches and looked down. This man is a bitch!
Sure enough, they saw a familiar and arrogant face below.
"Little...young master!"
This man is Wang Ding's direct disciple. He has good martial arts skills, at least among the Nanle Rebel Army.
The leader guarding the gate apologized repeatedly, but he did not dare to open the city gate. Instead, he put down the hanging basket. The man below stepped into the hanging basket cursing, and there were three other people with him. After a while, they were pulled up to the top of the city.
I found that there were only seventeen or eight thieves in front of me. The rest were hiding in a warm and leeward place, warming themselves by the fire and eating and drinking.
"Pull all the people outside to me!" the man ordered in a stern tone.
The leader of the city did not dare to neglect, and immediately put down the hanging basket. After a while, the twelve people who came were all on the city wall.
"Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Instructions? Of course there are. You are standing so far away from me. Do you think I am being unreasonable?"
The leader secretly complained in his heart, this young man has a profound background. Although leader Wang Ding has the least "troops" among the three leaders, he is the most powerful in combat. The man in front of him is not only unreasonable, but also unscrupulous. They
They are all already lawless traitors, but I am even more lawless than them!
"As for you, why don't you reply?" The young man walked a few steps towards the leader with a smile, then got angry and struck with his knife. Although the leader was prepared, he thought he would only get a scratch on his ear.
How can a person who has just started to touch the sword compare with the young master? You must know that this young master is the elite of the Hedong Army!
With a click, the head fell to the ground.
"Ah!" Everyone around was exclaimed and shocked. No matter how bad-tempered this young man was, he couldn't just stab people with a knife, right? And the person he killed was the leader. But what happened next frightened them.
Not only did the young man move his hands, but the people who came up with him also took action. In an instant, more than ten of them were chopped to the ground, and then they rushed to the guys who were warming themselves in the leeward area and started to kill them.
After this round of killings, there were no more rebels in the city.
"Well done, report our casualties." The young man's arrogant voice suddenly became louder, and his whole body seemed to be two or three inches taller, and his bones crackled.
It's as if they were two different people, with completely different temperaments.
"Liangtou, there are no casualties!"
Liang Tou nodded with satisfaction, that's right. He and others are elites in the army. If there are any casualties after killing these rioters, the entire Difengtun camp will wipe their necks by themselves. There is no need to show face to others.
"Open the city gate and let the troops come in."
The brief fighting at the top of the city also attracted some people's attention. After all, such fighting has not been uncommon in the town these days. Some of them were killing good people, and some were fighting among themselves. Therefore, although some people came to check with curses, there were no
Really take it seriously.
At this moment, the city gate opened. The elite cavalry from a village outside the city rode in.
Two ringleaders and dozens of rioters who came to check happened to meet at the main intersection of the market. They chopped their heads off. At this time, people in the market began to realize that something was wrong. The rebels stationed near the city gate rushed out.
He immediately became minced meat under the horses' hooves. Five hundred cavalry traveled throughout Qingshanji.
The difference between a ragtag group of people and professional elites was also clearly revealed in this battle. Those rebels cannot be said to have no courage. Even if they did, they could not make up for the gap in actual combat capabilities between the two sides.
Wang Guang led a large force into Qingshanji half an hour later. He asked the military leader who led the raid: "Are there any casualties?"
"Twenty-three were slightly injured and three were killed!"
"Are there any survivors in the market?"
"They have been searched and killed, and no one is left."
"Okay. Your troops will form a team immediately. Guard the prisoners and hand them over to the Nanle County soldiers who will arrive later, and then chase the large army."
"promise."
The main force of the left camp led by Wang Guang advanced in a straight line towards the target Xiangcheng and rushed away.
In one day in Nanle City, both manpower and horse power were restored to their best condition. The war horses were moving quickly, the sky was slightly bright, and the irregular camp of the rebels appeared in front of them.
At this time, Huang Wen'an, Zhang Ke and others still didn't know that Qingshan Ji had been destroyed.
When six thousand fine cavalry came in front of them, Huang Wen'an, Zhang Ke, the mastermind of the Nanle civil uprising, and Wang Ding, a well-known ranger in the border counties of Qi State, all had their legs and feet weakened.
Trembling.
"Kill, kill, there are so many of us, what are you afraid of? Kill them, and all the gold and silk for the children of Nanle will be yours to pick!"
After all, Huang Wen'an had seen some of the surroundings, and he knew something was wrong. He immediately shouted loudly to encourage his men, but he couldn't help but shrink back.
"The Hedong Army is here. We will only kill the first culprits, and those who surrender will be spared death!" At the same time, Wang Guang also roared loudly. Unlike Huang Wen'an's lonely shouting, no one responded. When he finished the last word, six people behind him
Qian Jingqi shouted angrily at the same time: "The Hedong Army is here, only the first culprits will be killed, and those who surrender will avoid death!"
Six thousand people roared in unison, and they shouted angrily when the rebels were in panic. The sound shook the clouds in the sky and made countless rebels fall to their knees and put down their weapons!
"The Hedong Army...is Zhu Biao's Hedong Army!"
Although Huang Wen'an and others were plotting against the Hedong Army, when the Hedong Army came to them, not only the ordinary thieves were shaken, but even Huang Wen'an and the other four leaders had pale faces!
Wang Guang pointed his spear forward!
"Woooooooooo..." The attack horn sounded.
"Kill!" Wang Guang immediately used himself as an arrow and rushed towards the place where Huang Wen'an was.
"Crack!"
It was as if a house had been torn down, and the camp that the rebels had built haphazardly was split into two by six thousand cavalry. Anyone who stood in the way of their charge would be immediately chopped down if they could not retreat in time.
The six thousand cavalry were like an awl, piercing into the messy formation of the rebels, and with the breach as the center, they quickly tore open the gap, making the tear wider.
Flying blood, collapsed bodies, dying groans, and miserable wails. Wherever the iron cavalry went, they left such a trace. Although the rebels were numerous, they were in a mess by the six thousand Hedong Jingqi.
In just a moment, he was in front of Huang Wen'an.
"Chickens and dogs, come and kill them quickly!" Wang Guang shouted wildly and attacked again.
This attack actually made Wang Guang feel a little resistance. Because the people around Huang Wen'an were all his cronies, hundreds of them, and they could show some strength by desperately intercepting them.
However, this resistance was too weak. Not to mention the brutal battle with the Hu cavalry on the grassland, even the fight against the Zhongshan Army, Wang Guang felt that it was much better than what he saw in front of him.
Huang Wen'an's face turned pale, and he shrank back in fright. Wang Guang waved his hand accurately, and the spear in his hand was thrown out, but it only penetrated the horse under Huang Wen'an's crotch, and Huang Wen'an fell off the horse.
He somersaulted and dodged. But then Wang Guang drew his sword and came forward to kill him.
"Die!"
With a loud shout, the war horse rushed forward, and a sword flashed across Huang Wen'an's body. Huang Wen'an's whole body was split open, broken into two parts at the waist, and his internal organs splashed on the ground.
Huang Wen'an's death made the already frightened rebels completely lose their sense of resistance. Countless people knelt down and surrendered, and countless people fled in all directions.
During the rebellion, Zhang Ke was captured by the surrendering rebels, and Li Guohua died in unknown hands. Wang Ding's resistance led to the death of two Hedong cavalry, and the last group of Hedong cavalry paid the price of three more deaths and five injuries.
Annihilated Wang Ding and his gang.
The civil uprising in Nanle was put down. The total number of casualties of the Hedong Army was less than 300, and there were even fewer battle dead. They completely wiped out the 24,000 to 5,000 rebels and rebels. (To be continued.)
