Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, with the horn of the assembly sounding, only a moment later, the whole army of the Tiandao Army was quickly assembled, ten minutes later, the Runing Army also hurriedly came to gather, and after more than ten minutes, the Yuncheng Army came to the place of assembly in a hurry,

In this battle with the official army, the Tiandao Army suffered a total of five casualties, and the Runing Army still has people staying in the mountain, plus the 1,000 Yuncheng Army who joined, the total strength of the Tiandao Army that can participate in the battle is currently 3,000 people. However, most of the 1,000 Yuncheng troops are farmers or small traders, and they have not received any military training at all, and it can be seen from this gathering that these people do not have the ability to go to the battlefield, but let them be used as logistics soldiers or fill up on the battlefield, and it is okay to wave the flag and shout to be strong; As for the Runing Army, although it is not bad, there is still a certain gap from the requirements of the Heavenly Dao Army, and it can only be used as a new force. ]

According to this situation, Zheng Fei and others immediately made arrangements, with Wang Jin leading a battalion of infantry troops plus Ruan Xiaoer's water battalion with a total of five people, plus two Runing troops, and more than 1,000 people from the Wuyuncheng army stayed on the mountain to guard the rear base camp and guard the state soldiers and prisoners.

Zheng Fei personally led more than 2,000 Tiandao troops, more than four Runing troops and more than five Yuncheng troops down the mountain to attack the prefectures and counties that participated in the encirclement and suppression of Liangshan under the mountain.

According to the preliminary investigation of the Investigation Bureau, in this anti-bandit operation, in order to exterminate themselves in one fell swoop, almost all the states sent to the coalition army are the main force of the states, Gao Lian of Gaotang Prefecture is almost out, and there are currently less than three defenders left in Gaotang Prefecture to defend the city; As for Yunzhou and Jeju, which were reserved because they were too close to Yangsan, in order to prevent them from being attacked by themselves, they also retained no more than seven or eight state soldiers.

Therefore, after the defeat of the coalition army, there is actually no place around Liangshan that can have more than a thousand military forces, at this moment they should have received the news of the defeat of the coalition army from the state soldiers who fled from Yuncheng yesterday, it is estimated that there has already been a big chaos, the Tiandao army is going down the mountain to attack at this moment, there is no need to worry about encountering any obstacles, as if it has become a powerful force around Liangshan!

Based on this information, Zheng Fei immediately targeted Yunzhou and Jeju for the first attack, striving to defeat the two currently strong state armies in one fell swoop, so that not only could the hidden dangers of the Yangsan base camp be completely eliminated, but also the glimmer of hope in the remaining states and counties could be shattered in one fell swoop, clearing the way for the rest of the states to be leveled!

Zheng Fei led the army down the mountain all the way to the south, first sent Pang Wanchun to lead the ** battalion to take the lead, and went straight to Yunzhou, and he led the rear of the army to march urgently.

An hour later, the army arrived at the place of Yunzhou, only to see that the gate of Yunzhou City had already been closed, and Pang Wanchun had divided the ** battalion into four teams, each team was responsible for guarding a city gate in Yunzhou, which made Zheng Fei smile helplessly, it seems that the official army was really completely scared, although the four teams of men and horses were only fifty people each, they were swaggering under the city, and although there were still eight people in Yunzhou City, they did not dare to open the city gate to come out to fight.

Zheng Fei immediately ordered the army to set up a formation outside the north gate of Yunzhou City, set up siege weapons such as ladders, catapults, and battering rams, and looked like he was about to attack the city.

This letter was also quickly sent to Li Zhan, the white-haired governor of Yunzhou, obviously, Li Zhan's hand to receive the letter trembled slightly, he still had half a year to be able to send a letter, but he didn't think that the Liangshan thief was suddenly born, and he was so close to his Yunzhou, but even so, out of caution, he didn't plan to send troops to exterminate the Liangshan thief, thinking that there was still half a year anyway, more than one thing is better than one less, and it was better than anything else to pass the half year peacefully, so why cause trouble?

But he didn't look for trouble, but trouble found him, and a holy decree from the imperial court asked him to send troops to Yunzhou to suppress bandits.

Li Zhan had no choice but to send troops, but out of prudence, he withstood the pressure and only sent out 1,500 people, while eight people were left in the state. I believe that with these eight people, no matter what they have, it is okay to protect themselves. And he didn't believe in any accidents at all. The more than 10,000 troops of the imperial court have exterminated a gang of thieves, and they are not yet able to capture them?

In fact, it was unfortunate that he said that when the news of the defeat of the coalition army and the annihilation of the entire army came from the state soldiers who fled back to Benzhou, Li Zhan was completely stunned.

His first reaction was how is this possible? The second reaction is that it is cheap, what a waste! The third reaction was to regret that there were not many people left to protect themselves. Because from the mouths of those defeated soldiers, those thieves are all invulnerable monsters, and each of them is extremely ferocious, so it is easy to defeat 10,000 coalition troops! Now it's good, those Liangshan thieves will definitely take the opportunity to go down the mountain to attack the city, and they can even defeat 10,000 officers and soldiers, how can these eight people defend the city?

Now the thieves really came to attack the city, and at the same time, there was another thing that made him regret it, it turned out that he received an urgent letter sent by Zhang Shuye, the governor of Jeju last night, Zhang Shuye said that he also had a premonition that the thieves might take advantage of the victory to attack and loot Shanxia County, and at present, only Yunzhou and Jeju still have a certain number of troops around Liangshan, and the thieves are so strong, the imperial court will not be able to mobilize a large army to reinforce for a while, a good way to protect yourself is that you Yunzhou hurry up and come to my Jeju, we can resist the thieves in one place, Otherwise, they will only be defeated by thieves who seize the opportunity to break each other!

As for why he wanted the people of Yunzhou to go to Jeju, instead of the people of Jeju coming to Yunzhou, Zhang Shuye's explanation is that since he arrived in Jeju, he has been committed to building the city wall and stabilizing the defense in the past year.

Uncle Zhang also promised that as long as Li Zhan was willing to lead everyone to come to Jeju, Uncle Zhang believed that with the strong city defense and the strength of nearly 2,000 people, he would definitely be able to support it until the imperial court sent a large army to the rescue! At that time, he will also write to the imperial court to explain the matter, explaining the reason why Li Zhan abandoned the defense of Yunzhou, and believes that the imperial court will not only not blame, but will also reward the two for their meritorious service in defending the city.

But Li Zhan sneered and threw Zhang Shuye's letter aside, as a state official, it is a big crime to abandon the state capital, and he Zhang Shuye obviously wanted to deceive himself to help him defend Jeju, and he actually made up such a ridiculous reason. He didn't believe that Uncle Zhang had been building the city wall since he arrived, is there still such a responsible official? Isn't more than half of the annual cost of repairing the city wall in Yunzhou fall into his pocket? And what state and county governor in the world is not like this?

At this moment, after reading the thief's letter, Li Zhan almost fainted, the thief's letter was short and direct: either surrender the city now, but protect the lives of the officials and soldiers in the city. Either they will break through the city, and there will be no officers and soldiers left in the city!

Li Zhan hurriedly asked his subordinates how many thieves had come, and when he heard his subordinates tell him in a trembling voice that the black pressure outside the city was full of thieves, not to mention that there were four or five thousand people, Li Zhan felt regretful, alas, he should have promised Uncle Zhang yesterday, at least he promised that he might have a way to live, if he didn't agree, he would die if he was breached the city, and he would be executed by the imperial court sooner or later after surrendering, how could it be a dead end!

But at this time, because of another thing, Li Zhan was aroused with a trace of courage, why? It turned out that he had three sons, all of whom were currently serving all over the country, although he was afraid of death, but he also knew that he must not surrender the city, otherwise his three sons would be affected! Father's love supported Li Zhan's last glimmer of hope at this time, and he wanted to give it a go!

"Come on!" Li Zhan suddenly stood up and gave an order, "Prepare the sedan chair, the old man is going to the city to supervise and defend the city!" ”
