Indeed, time is running out for them.

They certainly don't want to go back in time.

For the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who have already eaten the marrow, they definitely do not want to go back to the past.

The gentry of Nanzhili did not want to continue to pay ten times the amount of land in Beizhili a year, the gentry of eastern Zhejiang did not want to continue to endure the control of Ningbo Customs by the imperial court, and the gentry of Jiangxi did not want to continue to pay more than 200,000 taels a year to feed the three vassal kings......

No one wants to go back in time.

I don't want to go back to the era when the south supported the north and used the taxes they paid to feed the old men in the capital, and I don't want those tax supervisors to fight with them every year, and I don't want to continue to endure those corrupt officials.

This is important.

That's how they stirred up the people.

The reason why the Datong army had quite strong combat effectiveness was because the gentry told those soldiers that they would not have to put up with corrupt officials in the future.

And so it is.

The officials elected by the gentry themselves were still relatively incorruptible.

At least they won't be as greedy as the court officials, after all, they are part-time workers, although the lives of the common people have not changed much, but it does seem to be a lot better, and the messy rules that the county lord collected every year in the past are gone. You must know that in the past, the county magistrate had to have a large sum of silver when he got off the sedan chair, which is called the sedan chair rules, and these will definitely not be there anymore, the new county magistrate is local, everyone knows where his home is, which school his son goes to school and which way.

Moreover, the prosperity brought about by the liberal economy is obvious, at least in the short term, and the life of the common people has indeed changed in the short term, and it is this that supports the Datong army to fight, and the gentry who have been freed from the shackles are playing sheep and eating people......

It's only been a year and I can't see it.

But this world of Datong, which has made the gentry as happy as children with sugar cubes, is also a rebellion of the old times.

They are also rebels and thieves.

Yang Xin is a traitor, why aren't they?

Sun Chengzong, who solved the gate and then went south, will he just solve one traitor and let the other go? Or will those northern gentry behind him allow the southern gentry to leave them alone and stop sending to the north?

Joke!

The northern gentry are not stupid!

If the south doesn't raise those masters, then they have to raise them, and the south doesn't pay taxes, so they should pay more, otherwise will the emperor be hungry? Moreover, the south elects its own officials, how can those northern officials go to the south to make money? The southern gentry don't need northern officials anymore, so will they continue to feed those spokesmen? They will solve it by force when necessary. Similarly, for the southern gentry, it was necessary to solve the bane of Yang Xin in one fell swoop before Sun Chengzong's army moved south, and then use the power of Jiangnan tempered by this war to meet the army of the imperial court, defend everything at present by force, and force the Apocalypse to recognize their autonomy.

But first we have to deal with Yang Xin.

"Attack, attack with all your might, order the cavalry to continue to move forward, and those who retreat will be killed!"

Qian Qianyi shouted.

The cavalry in the rear continued to advance, driving the infantry to storm the walls in vain......

"Attack, those who retreat will be killed!"

Guo Junbi, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Datong Army, shouted with a short gun.

Hundreds of cavalry on both sides of him were divided into three horizontal formations, squeezing forward like moving walls, and those infantry who had begun to flee had to turn around in their squeezing, but at this time the infantry in front had completely lost the courage to attack, whether it was the nightmarish figure at the gap or the towering city wall of Nanjing, they all felt hopeless.

They just want to run away now.

"U-turn!"

Guo Junbi roared.

The infantry in front of him pleaded.

One of them angrily stretched out his hand and tried to push away the spear from the horseman's hand.

Guo Junbi didn't hesitate to aim at him and pull the trigger, and the hapless infantry fell screaming, and the gunfire also silenced the other infantrymen.

"Turn around, if you want to die, you will die under the city wall, those who flee will be killed, and those who die in battle will be compensated!"

He said, holding up a short gun with still the smoke remaining.

At the same time all the cavalry raised their spears, and the infantry turned back with grief and indignation, but at that moment there was a scream of terror at the breach, and then the infantry that had attacked the gap began to retreat, and the soldiers who had completely collapsed screamed, crowded and trampled each other, and recklessly backwards like dodging a giant beast, and those who did not have time to turn around were even quickly pushed down and drowned.

A blood-red figure rose behind them.

"Yang Xin is here, who will fight with me!"

A faint roar came.

The next moment, all the infantry that had hit the gap in front collapsed.

"Forward!"

Guo Junbi continued to urge.

At the same time, he urged the horses, and all the cavalry also urged the horses, and almost at the same time countless shells from the artillery position behind them shot at the figure, but the latter disappeared in an instant, and those shells not only did not hit him, but accidentally injured a large number of his own soldiers. Then the infantry pushed back even more desperately, and soon the rout spread to this side again, and the infantry, which had been holding back, began to turn around again.

"Death to those who retreat!"

Guo Junbi also roared with some lack of confidence.

But no one listened to him anymore at this moment, and that figure just now was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The infantrymen, who were anxious to get out of this nightmarish hell, crowded towards the cavalry's horses, snatched their spears and squeezed through, and the forward infantry behind them even began to crowd this way, the cavalry's riding wall was not a real wall after all, not to mention that the real wall could not hold up at this time, and soon the horses were pushed down, and even the cavalry behind began to break and flee.

Guo Junbi roared and killed another rout, then pulled out his knife and slashed like crazy.

However, at this moment, a special hot air balloon rose in the city, and soon reached a height of hundreds of feet, and slowly crossed the city wall.

Countless people on the chaotic battlefield raised their heads and looked at this thing in amazement.

Although the defenders raised several hot air balloons in the city, they were all tethered balloons, and this was the only one that floated out.

"I'm curious!"

A voice suddenly sounded over the battlefield.

The next moment, all the cannons on the Yuhuatai raised their muzzles to the maximum, and then spewed flames at this balloon, but because it was at an altitude of three hundred meters, even on the Yuhuatai, no cannon could hit such a height, and those cannonballs all fell weakly under it, and the whistle of the cannonballs seemed to accompany him.

"I'm curious, why do you work for those landlords?

What did they give you?

Silver?

How much can they give you?

I will take you to open the cellars of their houses, and then I will take out all their money and give it to you and to your relatives.

They certainly won't give more than I do.

Field?

As far as I know, this is not possible, at most your family can rent a few more Ueda.

But I can give you all their land, and they can be more generous than I am.

Future?

So far, in the emperor's place, you are still a group of thieves, Zhang Mingzhen and Xu both fled back after failing to assassinate the emperor in the capital, no matter what those officials say about me now, I am the prince of Yingguo in the imperial court, the governor of the left capital, the governor of coastal military affairs, and I still have the sword of Shang Fang in my hand. You followed a group of thieves to attack the capital of the imperial court, blast open the city wall built by Taizu, and raze the Temple of Confucius.

What are your futures? ”

This hateful voice echoed in the sky.

Shang Zhou Zuo and Qian Qianyi on the Yuhua Terrace roared anxiously, trying to get their soldiers not to listen to this evil voice, they were well aware of Yang Xin's demagogic power, but unfortunately their voices could not be heard by anyone except the surroundings. But because of the loud voice and the condescending voice, it covered a radius of more than two hundred meters, basically covering all the most important battlefields, and those routs who were already entangled with the cavalry all raised their heads and listened silently, and even stopped shooting on the city wall in order to make them all hear.

Anyway, the Datong army has been defeated.

Only the artillery of the Datong Army was still firing, but it did not affect the people below to hear the sound clearly, and the firing speed of those Datong Army shells was getting slower and slower.

"So what are you for?

Why did you choose them over me? Why did you choose to continue to be a cow and a horse for those landlords, instead of choosing to live a good life with me? Don't you see the life of the militia in Zhaoyi City? Don't you see the life of those farmers of my Yang family? If you see it, are you stupid?

You are actually for a group of people who have oppressed you for generations, robbed you of every drop of your blood and sweat, and even forced you to sell your sons and daughters, to deal with a person who led you to a good life, and ruined your only chance to be like those who have already lived a good life.

And you can't defeat this person yet, you can only die here in vain.

So you tell me.

Are you stupid? ”

The evil voice seemed to have a kind of demon law, ringing in the ears of every Datong Army soldier who heard it, bewitching them, releasing demonic power to them, and letting the weeds sprout in their hearts, and then their pure hearts began to be polluted, the worldview under the ethics of thousands of years began to collapse, the image of the village sages who built bridges and repaired roads began to distort, and the hardships they had experienced began to emerge.

"Open, open, shoot, shoot this demon!"

Guo Junbi's lips trembled and said.

Then he raised his spear and opened fire in vain, and several officers of the same hatred waved their spears and cursed as they fired......

"Shoot all, shoot Dutama, and those who don't shoot will be killed!"

He roared.

"Ma, don't make any noise, I can't hear you!"

There was a sudden roar from the side, and then a hand appeared on his arm, and then a pulling force suddenly came, and he fell from the horse with a scream, and before he could get up, a big foot stepped on his mouth......
