The elder brother Lei Heng killed Gao Liansheng, and then the main force of the rebellion was about 500 people, a battalion of four outposts, a heavy battalion and more than a thousand people, in terms of combat effectiveness, the baggage battalion belonged to the army, Lei Heng had to rely on these people to control the entire Yan'an region, and the strength was overstretched, so many rebel armies were actually mainly mobs, most of the rebels did not have artillery, even if there were cannons in the warehouse, the rebels would not use it, and it would be useless to learn to fire the cannon and not to aim

Lei Heng had a large force in his hands, Shang Yan'an expanded his army, and the troops in the area around Yan'an were scattered, and it was not surprising that a group of mobs led by a few infantry and cavalry did not capture the gentry fort

But now Lei Heng has felt a huge threat attacking him, receiving a report that the Li Ziying in the east suddenly attacked Yaozhen, which made him unexpected, he originally thought that there would be a reorganization period of about seven days, but now in the east, Li Guolou led the Li Ziying to come to Yaozhen in person, and the horror was in the south, and Batel led a large force to block the south of Yan'an

In the south, the Qing army has already hit the edge of Yan'an City, and Battle's cavalry even has several howitzers, which Lei Heng never expected, for the cavalry of the Li Zi Battalion on his side, the Yan'an area suppressed bandits, he thought about strangling this elite cavalry, and the troops led by Batel did not listen to the Gao Zi Battalion to dispatch Lei Heng to cut off more than 500 cavalry of the Li Zi Battalion for more than half a month, and wanted to lure Batel and Cheng Kun into Yan'an to ask for grain and grass, and prepare to ambush the officers of the Li Zi Battalion, but still did not see the Li Zi Battalion to ask for assistance

Time is not waiting for me to garrison, Gao Liansheng inspected the Yan'an supply warehouse, Lei Heng seized the opportunity to launch an anti-Qing uprising, but in just three days, Yan'an was threatened by the Qing army, and the two Li Zi battalion cavalry units began to surround it from the southeast side, and the south gate of the city did not dare to open, and the Qing army lit the fire outside the city, and there were Qing soldiers and cavalry activities outside the city in other directions

A pessimistic atmosphere has spread in the rebel army, to change this situation, only defeat the Qing army outside the city, otherwise a large number of Qing troops surround it, the rebel army will not survive, may be left to the rebel army to consider whether to fight a piece of heaven and earth, or the soles of the feet to smear oil and flee to the southeast of Yan'an, there are already a large number of Qing army activities from these two directions, break through from these two directions, to be pursued by the cavalry of the Li Zi Battalion, for the first battle with the Li Zi Battalion, Lei Heng more than a dozen henchmen did not dare to face the difficulties, although the Li Zi Battalion came to the northwest for a short time, all the battles were excellent, they have the original Qing army baggage battalion soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness is not strong, or there are war horses, artillery, grenades, Li Ziying's battle has not started, and these people have been branded with shadows in their hearts

As for the west of Yan'an, there is a terror, where Zuo Zongtang's soldiers and horses are stationed, and after getting the news that Gao Liansheng was killed, will Zuo Zongtang personally lead his troops and horses from Suzhou City, and more than 500 miles to the north, Guojiaqiao, the Hunan army, Liu Songshan, and the main force of the Qing army make these rebels feel pressured

It turned out that the members of the brotherly troops stationed in Yan'an and the Elders' Association ran into Yan'an City to get money and food, and also declared an uprising, but after this night, the thousands of troops outside the city really revolted, and this question also made Lei Heng worried

In two days, tens of thousands of horses were raised, so that the rebel army felt that it was the right choice to embark on this road of rebellion, but the situation was critical, and the news network in the Yan'an area suddenly failed, and unfavorable news came one by one

A scout horse hurriedly ran into the hall, turned over, knelt on one leg and said urgently: "Report to Yang Dawazi and Mu San for not obeying the order, kill our messengers, let me come back and spread the word, they want to avenge Gao Liansheng, and they will enter the city tomorrow."

"What are you not mistaken," Liu Ming, the former commander of the Qing army, stood up from the rattan chair and couldn't believe that there would be such a thing

"There will be no mistake, Brother Wang, the head is returned to me, how dare I lie in the coat," Tanma burst into tears and wept silently

"No wonder Yang Dawazi said that he wanted to empty Yong'an Cang, originally he wanted to invite credit to Mangou, what should I do now, should we recapture Yong'an Cang overnight, can't it be cheap Mangou," another former Qing army sentry chief Yan Deli was very anxious, Yong'an Cang was originally guarded by more than 100 rebels, and now these people either surrendered to Yang Dawazi or were killed, this is a thunderbolt from the blue, unfavorable news, one after another, this is only three days of rebellion, the rebel army is a heavy blow, their own people will stab themselves in the back, the members of the elder brothers' association rebelled, Yang Dawazi, Mu San actually led his soldiers and horses to surrender to the Qing army for the second time

Lei Heng touched his beard, his face full of righteousness, not showing timidity, his expression was still radiant, and he waved his hand: "We can't sort out the clue first, we can't sit still, we have thought about this situation, we have to have confidence, I believe that those underpaid troops will fight against the Manchu tyranny with us, a Yong'an warehouse is nothing, there are only more than 500,000 catties of grain and grass stored, plus Yang Dawazi, Mu Sanyuan occupied two warehouses, and there were more than 800,000 catties of grain and grass, most of the grain and grass were still in our hands, and we still had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, take these people away, take all the grain in Yan'an City, and burn it if we can't take it away, we will let Zuo Zongtang drink the northwest wind."

Lei Heng said angrily, and an officer hesitated and asked, "Big brother, where are we leading more than 10,000 people?"

Yes, where did the rebel army go, to find the Lingzhou area, the Hui army guerrillas, or Jinjibao, Ma Hualong, all of them had to meet the main force of the Qing army, and wanted to cross the Yellow River to return to the army base in Xining, and it was not necessarily possible to see a boat to return to the army, another place in Laochao Hezhou was also difficult, the Qing army Guyuan Admiral Lei Zhengwan, As for the east of Dong Zhiyuan, the Qing army Li Guolou personally led a large army to kill it, and it was so difficult that it was so difficult to go to the south to fight hard with Li Ziying, and in the direction of Xi'an in the south, Li Ziying's Batel troops had thousands of soldiers and horses to break through the blockade line of this team, and it was inevitable that there would be a fierce battle

Pressure and opportunities coexist, the rebel army originally thought that there would be this day, although the difficulties came a few days earlier than they thought, but since they had pulled up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they would fight a piece of heaven and earth, and the elders would revolt and not want to take refuge in the Hui army, but the lofty goal was to drive out the Tartars and restore China, so the development of the rebel army in the west and north has been vetoed, and they want to fight a piece of Han territory in the northwest and fight with Li Guolou and Li Zi's battalion

"I think we still have to fight with Li Ziying, break the rope around our necks, and let Li Guolou go to hell, you guys talk about fighting the soldiers and horses on the road of Battle or fighting the soldiers and horses of Li Guolou," Lei Heng humbly asked his brothers for advice, and prepared to fight with Li Ziying

Next, the brothers of the rebel army repeatedly stated that whether the rebel army was going east or south, facing the large army in the east, and the rebel army in the south did not even break through Yan'an City, and there was no information about whether the main force of the rebel army broke through the siege or sat in Yan'an City to fight a protracted battle with the Qing army, and some people raised different opinions

"Big brother, we leave Yan'an, recruit those people, most of them will run away, I think it is better to recapture Yong'an Cang, and take back Yang Dawazi and Mu Sanliang and grass outside the city, so that no matter which Qing army wants to attack us, there will be no grain and grass, and so on, and after the autumn, Yan'an is solid, and more than 10,000 of us can develop into 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Songshan, Xu Zhanbiao's large army starved to death, and they all had to flee back to Dong Zhiyuan, and by that time we could fight together with the Hui army, and we could also develop and grow, if we left Yan'an, we would become a rogue, and now we have only more than 8,000 people in the city, at least more than 2,000 people, and they are already forty or fifty years old, and these people are okay to defend the city, let them march and fight, and they don't need to be chased and killed by the enemy, and they themselves will die on the way." Liu Mingqi put forward different opinions, unwilling to give up a large amount of grain and grass in Yan'an City, how much grain and grass can be brought to the march, or it won't be long before they will be hungry, and they will be hungry and unfounded, and they will definitely be besieged by the calculating Zuo Zongtang, like Dong Fuxiang's exiled army, there is no way to escape, and they will sit back and wait for death

Some people raised different opinions, and immediately attracted different voices, and the hall began to be lively, these elder brothers finally laid down a piece of land, and there was food and drink, and no one was willing to leave Yan'an City, full of nostalgia for this piece of yellow land

"But Yang Dawazi and Mu San's two battalions of soldiers and horses can fight and fight, they are all daredevils, and now they have two or three thousand men and horses in their hands, and if they can't beat them, the Battle cavalry will be killed, and it will be difficult for us to even go back to the city," Liu Mingqi wailed, thinking of the disadvantages of recruiting soldiers and horses everywhere at this time, Yang Dawazi and Mu San have also recruited soldiers and horses in the past two days, and they also have grain and grass in their warehouses, enough to raise thousands of soldiers and horses

Lei Heng was furious, smashed the case with a fist, and scolded angrily: "Yang Da Wazi and Mu San are despicable and shameless, I would have believed them, I knew that today I should have killed the two of them, I shouldn't believe their nonsense, now that there are three wolves around us, how can it be so coincidental."

Lei Heng knew very well that he couldn't beat Yang Dawazi and Mu San's soldiers, and the other party was a veteran, if he didn't occupy Yan'an City and fight in the wild, it was very likely that he would be defeated by Yang Dawazi, Mu Sanneng had fought countless vicious battles, and there was also a battalion of cavalry, Yang Dawazi would not defend Yong'an Cang, and he would use his horns to contain the rebel army's strength, and he didn't need to send troops to attack Yong'an Cang, tomorrow, Yang Dawazi and Mu San would take the initiative to attack Yan'an City in order to prove their innocence

"Mangou, with Yong'an Cang, we can't hold Yan'an City, let's transfer," Liu Mingqi made up his mind before the rebel army pulled the flag and rebelled, and he couldn't fight with the hard stubble, so he still found a place to survive

In one day, the mentality of the rebel army changed, and they originally thought that everything was in control, pinching the lifeline of the Qing army, and could drag the Qing army to death, but they never expected that the granary outside the city would be occupied by the Qing army overnight, and the Qing army would besiege it on three sides, and there would be many Qing troops besieged tomorrow

"Yes, it's unrealistic to hold Yan'an City, wouldn't it be cheap to fight hard with Yang Dawazi and Mu San, these traitors, the full dog can't make senseless sacrifices, we still discuss where the main force will break through," Lei Heng set the tone and once again made the idea of the rebel army breaking through

"Grandma is so strange, how can there be soldiers and horses of the Li Zi Battalion in the southeast and southeast directions, how can Li Guolou actually block our way, did he think that we would pull the flag and rebel" Liu Mingqi was angry, no coincidence did not write a book, this is also too coincidental, the two Li Zi Battalion soldiers and horses just blocked the rebel army's road

"Li Guolou is the second Zuo Zongtang, he calculated that we would rebel," Lei Heng wanted to not admit it, and the rebel army was facing head-to-head, and the team was all Li Zi's battalion soldiers and horses

The big brothers of the rebel army discussed and made a decision overnight, the main force broke through to the south, and the five hundred cavalry of Battle became a stumbling block for the rebel army to break through, and the five hundred Li Zi battalion cavalry, the rebel army also figured out the number, as for the expansion of Battle, thousands of soldiers and horses, the rebel army did not let go, these soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness, and Li Guolou in the east made the rebel army incomprehensible, they did not dare to compete with the calculating Li Guolou
