Gao Yingxiang pressed the city wall with one hand, his eyes full of anxiety.

Gu Junen was dressed in a literary outfit, but his clothes were torn. Even the capable strategists like him, who were around Gao Yingxiang, were like this. You can tell at a glance what the other leaders of the "rebel army" were the ones who could tell.

He said, "Time is no longer waiting, we... need to make decisions quickly."

Gao Yingxiang nodded without comment.

"Is there any news from the court?"

When Gu Junen mentioned this, he sighed deeply, "The Ming court appointed Zhang Wanbang, deputy general of Shanxi, as the general of Shanxi, and was sealed by the general of the bandits, and moved to Xi'an."

"The situation is not optimistic when transferred to Shaanxi to help and suppress the troops, including the Taiyuan Governor He Renlong, the governor of Shanhaiguan Wang Zhichen and other troops!"

Gao Yingxiang looked at him and said that this was not optimistic, it was simply a dead end!

In fact, he was forced to go on the road of rebellion.

They really couldn't survive. Shaanxi has been drought for years and the court's sincerity in disaster relief was seen, but the strong dragon has never suppressed local tyrants.

The disaster relief silver and grain issued by the court was exploited by officials at all levels of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and they were left with only a few taels of chaff at the hands of ordinary people.

If you can't survive, you can't wait for the court to provide disaster relief, so you can only rebel.

All of them knew that with the current strength of the imperial court, there was actually only a dead end to rebellion, not to mention that Shanxi was the territory of Zhang Wanbang, a famous general of the dynasty.

Just talking about the current Jiubian, it is not impossible to mobilize 300,000 elite troops to move south in a short period of time.

A land in Shaanxi is full of fire, and it seems like the wind is sweeping away the clouds. In fact, many leaders know that they are just grasshoppers in autumn.

As soon as the imperial army arrived, they were left alone.

"Boom..."

The land under Gao Yingxiang's feet was trembling, and a black shadow appeared on the horizon reflected on the blue bricks, and a "Zhang"-shaped flag appeared in the distance.

Under Gaozhao, there is an endless army of border troops.

Gao Yingxiang was full of surprise. He thought that the Datong army would arrive in Sanshui after a few days, but he didn't expect that they would arrive so quickly.

In fact, Gao Yingxiang probably missed the mistake, which is purely normal.

The current border army is no longer the Ming army when Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne more than ten years ago. Due to the successive surrender of the left-wing Mongolian, Urianha tribes, and tribes in the south of the desert, the Ming army had sufficient horse sources.

The cavalry of the border army had already equipped each with two mounts a few years ago. As the head of the nine sides, the Datong Army was the top configuration of one man and four horses.

This also results in the marching speed of the Datong Army is completely beyond the ordinary Ming army.

Zhang Wanbang naturally knew the harm of refugees to the local area. If he did not wipe out the refugees as soon as possible, he would inevitably suppress them more and more. Therefore, from the time he received the imperial edict, he marched all the way.

It took only ten days for the Datong army to assemble from Datong and arrive at Sanshui County.

Zhang Wanbang held the reins in his hand and clearly saw the "rebellion army" standing on the top of the city from a distance from the latest monocular telescope.

Gao Yingxiang and Gu Junen's faces were clearly in his eyes.

Zhang Wanbang made a brief observation of the military appearance of this refugee and found that most of them used military weapons in the garrison seized in the county.

The quality of this group of riots is uneven, and not everyone has swords, guns and armor.

At this time, many generals of the Datong Army also saw the costumes of refugees in the city from the telescope, and they all laughed.

It seemed that the rebellion of refugees who should have been overwhelmed was just a free military meritorious leader in their eyes.

At this time, the Datong Army had found a good location and began to arrange artillery battalions and besiege the city on all sides. Zhang Wanbang's idea was to use the smallest casualties to wipe out the bandits.

Every border soldier of the Datong Army was the elite who had followed him for many years to fight, and he would not change ten bandits.

Zhang Wanbang felt very distressed when he went to fight such a battle and hurt someone.

Li Hongji, who had become a guerrilla general, stepped forward and said, "Master, the leader of the bandits in the city is Gao Yingxiang, and he is my uncle."

"Oh? He is your uncle?" Zhang Wanbang glanced at Li Zicheng, "Then what does it mean to come to find me?"

Li Hongji hesitated for a moment, then turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and shouted:

"Master! The last general knows that my uncle rebelled, which is a crime of unparalleled killing, but he is actually a good person. Please allow me to enter the city to persuade me to surrender!"

"The nearly 10,000 refugees in the city are innocent. If they can suppress this battle without bloodshed, it will be a great contribution to the commander!"

Zhang Wanbang thought about it and saw that the cannon camp had been arranged, he snorted coldly.

"I'm sorry that they can't escape this time. You and Li Guo go to the city. If you can persuade this bandits to surrender, I will remember you for your contribution!"

Li Zicheng was granted a general amnesty and immediately took Li Guofei forward.

Gao Yingxiang and Gu Junen stood at the top of the city. Seeing the government troops setting up back and forth, they surrounded all four gates and were helpless.

While anxious, I saw two people coming from afar.

"Who is it?"

"Uncle, it's me, it's me Li Hongji!" Li Hongji stopped at the city, "This is Li Guo, you should know him too!"

Gao Yingxiang was stunned and confirmed that this was his eldest nephew in Mizhi's hometown.

But he still didn't look very good on his face and sneered: "Big nephew, I heard you have gone to join the army. I didn't expect that now they are all guerrilla generals of the Datong Army!"

Li Guo shouted: "Brother Gao, what are you so uneasy about? Why did you rebel? Now that the Emperor Shengming is sitting in court, the drought in Shanxi has been alleviated!"

"I can't wait!" Gao Yingxiang sneered, "The court is missing one thing. You are a general in the official army, eat well and drink well, and your name is also on the merits of the praises."

"Do you know, what situation we have reached?"

"Every household, Yizi eats each other, and even the bark of the tree has been eaten completely. But what about the imperial court, there are many corrupt officials, what has the imperial court done?"

Li Hongji sighed, but he completely changed from his original thoughts. He shouted angrily: "So you gathered to rebel?"

"Now there are two enemy soldiers outside, surrounded by powerful enemies. Do you know how difficult it is for the court to maintain the current peace?"

"No matter how bad you are, you can come to Datong to find me, why do you rebel?"

Gao Yingxiang shook his head repeatedly, "Haha, it's too late, everything is too late, this road has already begun, I will never be able to recover, but you can't think of a good life!"

Li Guo hurriedly said, "No, no, no! My boss agreed. If you surrender, the servants can not be killed. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to consider the refugees behind you!"

Then, Li Guo turned around and said:

"Look at who is coming, it is the Datong Army! It is a powerful army with 30,000 people defeating the 100,000 cavalry! You have no hope of victory! This is a rebellion. Once the city is broken, nearly 10,000 people will be buried with you!"

"Brother, you are not such a selfish person!"

Gao Yingxiang naturally heard about Zhang Wanbang's deeds in Datong for more than ten years and defeated Lin Danhan's 100,000 Mongolian cavalry with 30,000 Datong Army.

He also knew in his heart that the official army did not need to attack the city at all. He could roar day and night to make people like him and others frighten.
