The first four areas to send troops appeared in the four areas, and they were very close to Chengdu Prefecture.

According to the report of the sentry detective, the size of the four rebels was different.

The fewer Huaian Army Uprising Army gathered about 30,000 people, with more than 2,000 combat troops looking less than 3,000.

The most were the Longzhou Uprising Army, which gathered more than 80,000 people and more than 7,000 combat troops, and the scale was relatively large.

This uprising army started in December of the sixth year of Hongwu. It took more than two months to completely defeat the resistance of the Longzhou government, killing more than 70% of the officials in Longzhou, and occupying all the county towns in Longzhou.

Their leader called himself the General Xingshu, threatening to "remain injustice in the world" and to do things in a fair way, so he received strong support from the people of Longzhou and became stronger, which was equivalent to sabotaging under Zhao Buxi's nose.

While fighting with the local landlords and old wealth, he was able to distribute troops to attack Guangdu, which shows how powerful he is.

It’s not easy to say, but Zhao Buxi added the fiefdom of landlords and old wealthy people to become commanders.

When facing the rebels and the rich, the landlords and wealthy people would not honestly explain their property, nor did they want to be made into pendants on the southeast branch, and they always felt that they could still save them.

Therefore, they concentrated on guards and unscrupulous tenants to fight against the rebel army for their lives. They were very tenacious and had a huge fighting will, no less than that of the rebel army.

The rebels in many areas have not yet left the local area for almost three months because the local landlords have a huge power, strong combat power, and strong endurance.

Their opposing battles caused many rebel troops to fall into a more tragic tug-of-war against offensive and defensive war. The landlords and wealthy people defended their own farms, built defense facilities such as military fortresses and forts based on the terrain, and fought a protracted war with the rebel troops.

The rebel army had just started and did not know much about military issues. They often lacked offensive strategies. They only knew that they had accumulated lives and had low offensive efficiency. They could not wipe out these combat-capable landlord armed forces and could not defeat the state government.

This situation has bought time for Wu Lin to arrange tactics and arrange tactics, and it is also one of the few good things Zhao Buxi has done.

He still has political ability, but even Zhao Kuo is willing to accept his inferiority when he sees it.

So when the main force of the Song army was dispatched, the Song army had a good start in the face of the uprising army fighting on both sides.

The first is the Guangdu area where the rebels in Longzhou took the initiative to attack.

The Song army in Guangdu defended the city to the death and did not give the Longzhou rebels the opportunity to break through Guangdu. The Longzhou rebels maintained an offensive posture and besieged Guangdu from all sides, which consumed a lot of strength.

There were 10,000 Song troops who launched support to Longzhou. The one who led the troops to fight was Lu, the commander who was more brave in Wu Lin's army. After he led his army to the vicinity of Guangdu, he used a small group of troops to challenge the rebel army, pretending to be defeated, and inducing some rebel troops to attack him.

Then the rebel army was ambushed by him and surrounded by his command of elite troops. After a hard battle, all of the rebel army was wiped out by him.

The Song army won the first battle and his morale was greatly boosted. He immediately led his army to take the initiative to defeat the Longzhou uprising army surrounded Guangdu.

The morale of the Song army defenders in the city was greatly boosted, and they opened the city gate to attack, cooperated with him inside and outside to annihilate the rebel army.

After Lu? After winning, he let the army rest for two days, and then led his army to continue to go south to launch an attack on Longzhou.

The Longzhou Uprising Army was caught off guard by this sudden attack from the Song army.

When the Song army broke into Longzhou to conquer the city and rushed to Renshou County at a very fast speed to surround Renshou County, the main force of the Longzhou uprising army was fighting against the landlords and Laocai Alliance in Guiping under the leadership of Ma Long, the [General Xingshu].

The local landlords, Laocai, and a group of 13 other families, originally heard that the Longzhou uprising army was in a strong momentum, and many people died for this. They were very scared, so they sent people to contact Ma Long and wanted to make a non-aggression agreement with him.

If you don't come to beat us, we won't resist you. We will give you gifts and pay taxes, just seeking peace.

But Ma Long was an oppressed peasant. The one he hated the most was the landlords. He flatly rejected their proposals and decisively led the army to attack them, vowing to uproot them.

All rebels, why are you still playing with you without invasion?

What a joke!

Because of fear of being hung on the southeast branch by the rebels, the landlords of the Thirteen families were slapped on the southeast branch by the rebels. In order to survive, they abandoned their past grudges and unanimously decided to form an alliance, and elected Jiang Meng, the most combative leader of the Jiang family, as the leader, and mobilized all their forces to fight against the Longzhou rebels.

They contributed their own money and forged weapons. In a short period of time, they gathered a force that could fight. Then they used the food saved by each family as military ration to protect the thirteen families' businesses and vowed to fight to the end with Ma Long.

Ma Long's initial uprising was indifferent and invincible. The main reason was not that he and his peasant soldiers could fight, but that when things happened suddenly, many people were not prepared and caught off guard. In addition, they did not have the courage to fight, so many people were taken away by Ma Long.

Whether it is an official or a landlord, Laocai, in his desperate attack mode, he punched the master to death, and died miserably.

The landlords of the thirteen families were fully prepared and had the courage to protect their property. They had the advantage of being in a good position and could not be strictly guarded. Ma Long was frustrated in attacks many times, and for a while, he had no choice but to do anything to them.

Originally, I thought this was just a wave of things, but I didn't expect that the landlords of the thirteen families were unexpectedly tenacious. Ma Long failed to take them away in one wave, but was dragged down by them.

Because he lacked enough troops, he continued to increase his troops, and finally the rebels gathered in Guiping County reached more than 4,000, and the main force was basically restrained in Guiping County.

Under such circumstances, Ma Long divided his troops to attack Chengdu Prefecture at the suggestion of his subordinates, because he felt that he had to move forward to call on more people to fight with him. Although the attack on Guiping was blocked, it did not mean that he could not continue to fight.

When the rebel army was in rebellion, it needed continuous victory to stabilize people's hearts. Although Ma Long was not a professional background, when he was pushed to this position by the wave of the times, he instinctively realized the importance of victory to himself.

So he chose to expand his offensive scope.

However, this is not the right choice.

So when the Song army attacked Longzhou on a large scale, he seemed at a loss. When he learned that the base camp of Renshou County was surrounded by the Song army, he didn't know whether he should continue to attack the landlords and wealthy people in Guiping County or return to the army to rescue immediately.

My subordinates said one by one, and they said they would continue to attack the old wealthy people to avoid worries. Some said they would return to the army to rescue Renshou Base Camp immediately because our family was there.

The two sides were fiercely debated and could not come up with a plan for a long time. Ma Long thought about it but couldn't make a decision. In the end, he simply decided to leave a team of troops to continue attacking the Thirteen families and rushed back to rescue Renshou County with his main force.

It was undoubtedly a wrong decision, but Ma Long didn't know.

He was also worried about his family and led his people to rush to Renshou County, but he did not expect that the cunning Lu? He had already led his troops to ambush him on his must-pass road.

Finally, more than 30 miles east of Renshou County, his troops were exhausted and were about to rest, when the Song army ambushed everywhere and besieged his troops.

His troops were suddenly attacked like this and collapsed quickly. They were soon divided and surrounded by the Song army and were all wiped out.

Ma Long fought bloody battles with his own soldiers until the last moment.

All the personal soldiers around him were killed in battle. He was surrounded by the Song army and still fought hard. Finally, he died with a Song army and died bravely.
