"What?...There are at least seven or eight houses in the city...."

Zhou Huaian frowned again and said.

"The previous news, wasn't there only three garrison troops? Where did the others come from?"

"But no matter what, the basic plan and expected direction will remain roughly unchanged, so it is better to adopt the corresponding plan of Category 3 on the spot...

"Where is the cavalry camp in the front row..."

Then Zhou Huaian, who was standing on the high platform, shouted firmly..

"The mark is under..."

The horse army and the commander of the former camp, Liu Liumao, stepped out quickly and said loudly.

"You are divided into two parts along the left and right banks of the river, searching for and intercepting all suspicious signs along the way..."

Zhou Huaian dropped an arrow

"promise.."

After seeing him holding his fists and flying away.

"Can Wang Zuofeng lead some soldiers and armed river boats who are good at water?"

Zhou Huaian was domineering at Wang Chong who was beside him again.

"Watch me the waterways outside Tanzhou City, patrol the river and cut off all traffic, and grant the right to promote and demote them in a cheap way."

"I'm following the order..."

Wang Chongba nodded solemnly without hesitation, took another command arrow, and bowed to Zhou Huaian and strode away.

Zhou Huaian continued to give orders to the gathering generals.

"The teaching brigade escorts the model team to get ashore first. Find nearby places to unfold equipment and conduct terrain observations."

"The accompanying garrison, baggage, and auxiliary brigade are preparing to set up a camp near the south of Jiangzuo City..."

"The supplementary battalion continues to stay on the boat with bare hands, pay attention to the blast to prevent chaos..."

"The new numbers battalions each form a different set of... The interval is limited by a single arrow. First give the sword spear hand cards,"

"The old camp on both the left and right wings, go out to the upstream and set up camp on the spot...

"Jumping and selecting the front, first climbing the regiments and breaking into the markets on the outskirts of the city, waiting for an opportunity to expel and suppress the possible resident armed forces in the meantime..."

"A river-blocking inspection station was set up on Niutouzhou in the river, using the joint boat as a cross-strait communication channel and water transport..."

As the command arrows of different styles and marks were issued, the flying cavalry and rushing soldiers, shaking and waving rolling flags and ceremonies, the vast army on the river quickly landed on the bank outside the city and spread out.

And on the river bank in the distance,

"Blow the whistle, attack..."

Zhao Yingong, who was already carrying a knife and carrying a light spear in his hand, was wearing neatly, glanced at the more than 300 cavalrymen behind him and said in a concise way.

"Zhao Qizhao...I will continue to stare at you."

And Chen Duer, who was following the group, also silently recited in his heart that he slapped his horse and followed closely.

"I hope you don't mislead yourself at critical moments."

.............

And in Tanzhou City,

"The heaven makes up for the average, and the world is clear and peaceful..."

A soldier waving an ochre flag, the ochre Baotouyi army, held guns, plaques, and arrows, walked through the streets and alleys in groups, and attacked a guarded warehouse.

"Anyway, kill the thief, you will be promoted to the title..."

Unpreparedly, another group of people came out of the streets and alleys of Chengfang, and cut them into several sections in half and fought in a row on the streets. Then, those who were prepared and unprepared were defeated by the increasingly loud shouts.

Finally, as the general who was fighting in the middle of the Zheqi Rebel Army was shot over his mount by a runny arrow, he fell to the ground and became very depressed and panicked, and eventually turned into a great defeat of rushing between the streets and alleys.

In the battle of Tanzhou City, Zhu Cun, the former deputy commander of the Kokang Army, commanded his subordinates and left while cursing loudly in his heart. Since he suffered a great defeat in the Jingmen army in the middle lane, he has been keeping his words in memorization these days.

First, Jingmen was defeated, and as a guard, he was defeated before he could catch up with the decisive battle. Although he was able to maintain the establishment and escape under the pursuit of the official army, the old general Deng Geda, who always valued and promoted him, Ke Shanmeng, deputy leader, and Xiong Xiangxun, and his relatives, all of them were lost, died in battle or disappeared.

He originally stayed in Jingling (now Tianmen City, Hubei) in Fuzhou, and collected many soldiers who had fallen into ruin. He restored the old foundation of the Kokang Army after the death of the army leader Xiong Xiangxun, and even brought their relatives to take care of him. But the good times did not last long, the troops and territory under his command were soon retreated to Yuezhou to regroup, and Shang, the commander of the middle lane and deputy general manager of the Yi army, was targeted.

When he was ordered to take a batch of money and grain to visit the other party in Yueyang City, he was left behind to discuss the follow-up military affairs for a few more days. After he came back, he found that his troops and territory had been separated. The Kokang Army, which originally occupied most of Fuzhou, was also known as tens of thousands of tribes, became the new generals in Jingling, Mianyang and Jianli counties.

Of course, he was also the acting leader of the Kokang Army. However, his subordinates had no other choice except for the thousand men who had never left him. And those independent former subordinates could not wait to divide up his family belongings and gave him all his related people. And placed it on the banks of Fuling Lake beside Yunmeng Daze, an abandoned military camp used to patrol the water bandits.

It was also his most miserable day. His subordinates who followed him even had to go down to the lake to fish nearby, fishing water chestnuts and lotus roots as a supplement to fill their stomachs. As time went by, some people fled one after another, or were simply taken away by others. He could only gather and disperse and hold on to the resentful troops and personally come forward to see them off.

He also rejected the secret suggestions of the troops to send the elderly, weak, women and children away, and sold his mounts, saddles, and tents to exchange for some miscellaneous food from the nearby area, so that he could barely maintain it.

More than once he dreamed of drinking and eating meat when he was in Lingnan, he dreamed more than once from a broken bamboo couch, and then he woke up by hunger. Then he regretted and sighed in the dark. If he had known this, why would he have to keep up with this big bad head? It would be better to stay in the south of Guangzhou, whether it was Xunzhou or Shaozhou. With the help of the monk Xu, he could get a steady stream of benefits from the other party and live a very good life.

Fortunately, a few days ago, General Manager Shang really thought he was giving up his face and ran to Yueyang City and was furious. In addition, his brothers who were far away under King Huang made a contribution. While showing off their faces, they also said a few words to him. So they simply sent him to Tanzhou in the name of the commander of the Central Army to recruit soldiers and raise money and grain.

Then, Zhu Cun discovered that there had been several rebel generals with the same purpose and plan as his own. Among them, the highest rank was a new general who led the two armies, and the lowest was at least a deputy army leader in charge of several battalions. Their only common feature was that their subordinates had suffered a lot of losses, or they had just taken up new positions, and most of them had serious vacancy.

Zhu Cun was the last one to come and was the most shabby and dirty person. He could not even get out of the suit and ceremonial guards as the military leader. He was even treated as a land group to join by the small leader of the city gate, and was scolded for a while for five or six. However, to his disappointment, there was no more soup or leftovers left here, and no one even took a look at the banners for recruiting soldiers on the streets.

He was obviously cheated by the Manager Shang before leaving. Maybe this was not his original intention; but it was obvious that he was impatient and disliked for this ignorant Zhu Ada.

If this is the case, it would be fine. At least he had already found out that the territory in Tanzhou was very large; in addition to the vicinity of the prefecture city, there were also large areas of territory in the Turkish troupe's independence or the remnants of the government. He could have seized some territory and population from it as a supplementary resource for his military support; at least for the seven or eight hundred people who are still determined to follow him today, it would be no problem to capture a Tuzhai or a market town.

But He Huaizhong and He Junhou, one of the three military leaders in Tanzhou City, were a dog-like thing in person. While treating them with great affection and etiquette, they were delayed as long as they could. Anyway, they refused to do a lot of effort. Zhu Cun’s request for self-reliance was even more undeniable, but they were also strictly restricted.

Then, these two men had secretly hooked up with the imperial army at some point, and planned to use the various rebel generals gathered in the city as their contributors to their family advancement.

As a result, one day ago, the head of the Hengjiang Army, He Junhou, made a drink for several days on the grounds that his concubine gave birth to a son, and invited guests and friends to celebrate their birthday. After the cups and plates were intertwined for five days, they almost relaxed their vigilance and relaxed their military preparations. On the sixth day when everyone gathered together, they played the trick of hiding the knife and axe behind the wall and mobilizing their confidants to isolate the inside and outside;

Then, when the generals were drunk and intoxicated by singing and dancing, they suddenly took out the complaints and complained from the court, and swear to lead everyone to this rare future of wealth. They also chopped and killed another military leader Liu Huaizhang who had not yet conspired and cursed on the spot as a flag sacrifice and a shock.

However, the leaders present were not very easy to save money. Although they were stronger than others, they all bowed their heads; but when these two dogs used their lives and wealth as threats and temptations, threatening individuals to write a letter of writing or pressing a handprint on the letter of application to justify their reputation, someone took the opportunity to start.

It was Wu Laolang, who was known for his bravery, jumped out and tore things, knocked over several swords and axes on the spot and held He Junhou in the mess, asking everyone to call their subordinates to rush out in the chaos. Although most of the casualties and injuries were killed or injured in the battle on the spot, Wu Laolang, who was the first to stand out, was also penetrated by arrows and died in the street, but at least he created a moment of opportunity for the remaining people who escaped from the government office.

These fish that missed the net were inevitably found in the city and started counterattacking and fighting in succession. Unfortunately, He Huaizhong and He Junhou, who were in a rebellion, were prepared for a long time. After all, they had already gathered good men in the camp and began to suppress and attack the rebels in various parts of the city according to the map.

However, the rebel generals who fled and returned were all scattered in the city or simply separated outside the city. Although there were several great names of military orders, they could only fight each other and could not respond and work together. There were even many people who were intercepted or arrested on the way back.

Especially the new leader Guo Hanzhong, who was also a brave general in the personal tent of King Huang, was killed by his own counterattack when he fled back to his residence and was about to send troops to counterattack. His head was hung on the archway of the Observation Mansion. The troops that had finally gathered after hearing the news dispersed or fell into an internal strife.

Therefore, compared with those other rebels who joined the chaos in the city one after another; Zhu Cun was the weakest because of his few soldiers and few generals, he was ignored and fled back to his own troops without any danger. However, he could only sigh and despair at the current situation in the city; compared with the rebels' direction where the rebels set fire to the inner city government, he threw all the hundreds of people into it, and there was no bubble or sound.

Therefore, his only plan at the moment was to take the rest of his people to find a way to break out of this chaotic city, and wait until he arrived at the place to make plans. However, after he gradually gathered up some other rebels along the way, he also got into new trouble; they were actually targeted by a rebel who came down from the city gate to support him.

After fighting and retreating for a day and a night, they defeated the opponent's momentum and several supporters that gathered one after another; but the crowds of people in Zhu were also exhausted; without the water and rice in the long-term, they could only slaughter a few animals to bleed and quench their thirst and eat raw meat and fill their stomachs, and there was no interval for cooking.

But he also successfully made a long walk around the outer city and came to Xiaowumen near the southeast corner of one of the nine gates of the outer city.

"Zhu Ada, we have always been like water in the wells and water droplets..."

Someone shouted on the top of the city

"What do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Didn't you agree that I won't cause trouble for you, but don't block my way... It's okay if the two have nothing to do with each other."

"Of course I'll come here to pick you up with my brother..."

Zhu Cun shouted loudly without showing any weakness.

"For the sake of past feelings and sorrows, we can't see you commit suicide..."

"What are you talking about..."

The louder the voices of the people on the city became, the more they became more and more imposing.

"You have to give me an explanation today, otherwise you won't think of going back from this..."

"Do you didn't pay attention to outside the city?"

Zhu Cun continued to bluff

"My good brother is about to bring troops to rescue him. Why don't you open the door and let me go out to meet him? Do you want to be stuck inside and beaten to pieces?"

There was a silence on the city gate tower for a moment, and then it became completely silent as he hurriedly walked down the gate tower and disappeared. Then Zhu Cun's thoughts began to speak.

At this moment, a trembling shout suddenly sounded outside the city:

"Make up for the average day and create peace again..."

I saw Miaogao Peak and Xishan in the south of the city, at the foot of many hills of Yangmei Mountain, the blue-gray array army was sparkling like a forest, like a flood tide that flooded the countryside; shaking the dense spears and flags that made people's hair numb and breathing, bringing up the sky to roll smoke and dust and swooping towards the city.

"Good..."

The city gate guard couldn't help but say in a daze, and then he turned inward and shouted under the city wall.

"Master Zhu Jun, Brother Zhu, can you do something good? I'll ask me for personal favor later."
