No matter what the reason for this uprising of the servants and Yao people is, whether it was bewitched or not, at this time, it no longer matters. From the time the rebel army broke through the county seat of Luorong and killed the officials in the city, the court and the rebel army could only fight to the death, unless one side fell.

In fact, Huang Wenlong, the leader of the servants, did not want to kill the officials of Luorong County at first. He originally wanted to use the captured officials to negotiate with the Ming court. After all, he also knew that no matter how fierce the servants were, they couldn't stand the Ming Court people with more money and more money. However, where would Zheng Yunhu, the leader of the Yao people, who already had a deep hatred with the Ming court, let him get his wish? After conquering Luorong County, Zheng Yunhu arrested all the officials in the city, but did not do it himself, but tricked those servants to do it. Under Zheng Yunhu's bewitchment, the servants remembered the history of being oppressed by the Ming court, and then broke out into the small universe and cut down all those officials. At this point, there was no possibility for the rebels to be recruited......

In the yamen of Luorong County, Huang Wenlong, the leader of the servants, sat in the hall of the county yamen with a sad face, thinking about the information he had just received. In the intelligence, the Ming court gathered 130,000 troops and was rushing from the direction of Wuzhou, which made Huang Wenlong a little flustered......

"Why is the big boss full of sadness?" Zheng Yunhu sat next to him, saw Huang Wenlong's sad face, and spoke.

"Brother Zheng, the imperial court has sent 130,000 troops! Although there are nearly 20,000 people in our righteous army, there are less than 10,000 people who can really fight. And the elite, in fact, there are only three or four thousand people! With so many enemy troops, can I not panic? ”

"Hehe......" Zheng Yunhu took a sip of wine and said slowly:

"Don't worry, don't look at the imperial court sent 130,000 troops, but, I estimate, it would be good to have 60,000 soldiers among them!"

"60,000? How so? "Huang Wenlong is a hero among the servants, and he doesn't know much about politics and military affairs. The reason why he was promoted as the leader was because Zheng Yunhu was a Yao Min, but the main force of the rebel army was a servant people, so he elected Huang Wenlong, who had a high reputation, as the big leader. Therefore, Huang Wenlong is not clear about the virtue of the Ming Dynasty guards.

"I heard that the guard of the Ming court, although there are 5,600 people. However, that was when the Ming Dynasty was founded. After so many years, the Ming court army has long been corrupt. Therefore, a guard with 5,600 people in name is generally only about 2,000 people in reality......"

"Why is that?" Huang Wenlong was a little puzzled.

"Because those generals are going to eat empty salaries!"

Huang Wenlong still didn't understand, so Zheng Yunhu had to explain:

"The meaning of empty salary is that there are only more than 2,000 people in the guard, but when they receive food and salary from the imperial court, they still receive a share of 5,600 people. But there were actually only about 2,000 people in the guardhouse. Then, the extra part will be divided up among the officials......"

"I see...... This Ming court is really corrupt...... So, Brother Zheng, the 130,000 troops from the imperial court this time are actually only tens of thousands? Huang Wenlong asked hopefully.

Zheng Yunhu shook his head and said:

"No, the big boss, there must be 130,000 soldiers and horses from the imperial court. Because, before the expedition, the commanders of those guards will definitely capture some farmers to make up the number, and make up 130,000 people. On the surface, there are 130,000 of them, but in reality only 50,000 or 60,000 can fight. ”

"Oh, I see...... So, Brother Zheng, why did Hou Dagou have tens of thousands of troops at the beginning, but he was still defeated by the imperial court? At that time, there were only 160,000 people in the imperial court. According to what you said, there are only seventy or eighty thousand soldiers capable of fighting, and Hou Dashuai should not lose! ”

Zheng Yunhu shook his head and said:

"The reason why Hou Shuai lost back then was not because of insufficient troops, but because the troops were scattered......"

"What's the explanation?"

"When Hou Shuai rebelled, he did have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even cavalry and sailors. However, Hou Shuai's soldiers and horses occupied too much territory. At that time, Hou Shuai's army not only captured Guangxi, but also captured most of Guangdong. In addition, Hou Shuai's army also attacked southern Hunan, and the naval army also attacked the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang...... It's just that, in this way, tens of thousands of troops are divided into several parts, and the forces are scattered. And the army of the imperial court, with a clear purpose, pointed directly at Hou Shuai's headquarters. In the end, Hou Shuai only brought more than 10,000 people to guard Datengxia. Eventually, it was surrounded by the Ming legions. Hiding in the mountain, he was also set on fire by the Ming army, and this is the ...... that failed" Zheng Yunhu's voice was low, and his mood did not seem to be high.

Huang Wenlong nodded, but then asked suspiciously:

"No, I've heard Mr. Shushu talk about the Three Kingdoms. Didn't the Yellow Turban Uprising get a source of troops there? Although Hou Dashuai only had tens of thousands of people at the beginning, he should have added a lot of soldiers and horses after laying so much territory? ”

Zheng Yunhu smiled bitterly:

"The big boss, that's the Han people's own uprising! The Yellow Turban Army is originally Han Chinese, so naturally wherever it hits, someone responds. However, our army is the army of the Yao people. Except for the tens of thousands of people who started the uprising, the number that increased later was not much. Because, Hermes-Epitek does not correspond to our army......"

Huang Wenhu suddenly realized......

Also, Hou Dagou is the leader of the Yaomin Volunteer Army. Although the servants and Miao people also responded to his uprising at that time (otherwise there were not tens of thousands of horses), the Han people correspondingly had very few. After all, the cause of the matter was the oppression of the Shaomin by the Ming Dynasty, and it had nothing to do with the Han people. Therefore, after Hou Dagou's Yaomin Rebel Army reached Guangdong and southern Hunan, most of the Han people were neutral, except for some Shaomin and a few local Han people. Therefore, instead of snowballing, the rebel army had to divide its troops because the chassis was too large. Then, the Ming army was given a chance to break through.

"Brother, do you mean to let our army concentrate in Luorong County and fight the Ming army?" Huang Wenlong asked.

Zheng Yunhu nodded and said:

"That's right, since our army has a small number of troops, we can't divide our troops casually. And it is not possible to retreat to the mountain, because the Ming army will burn the mountain. So, I mean, defend the county seat of Luorong and fight to the death with the Ming army. Although our army has few people, there are also tens of thousands of wolf soldiers. Moreover, there is a strong city wall as the backing, and I don't believe that the Ming army can't be stopped. When the Ming army can't attack for a long time and is tired, it's time for our army to counterattack! ”

"Wonderful! It's just that we have so much food and grass to stick to? "Huang Wenlong knows that without enough food and grass, he can't last long.

"This is easy, while the Ming army has not yet arrived, we will send troops to collect food everywhere! In addition, drive all the Han people in Luorong City out of the city, so as not to consume more food! ”

"Okay, just do what Brother Zheng wants!"

Soon, the Yao rebel army drove out all the Han people in Luorong County. At the same time, several troops and horses were sent to attack everywhere and go to the countryside to collect grain. Focus on going to the homes of those Han landlords to "collect grain" to meet the needs of guarding the city for a long time.

In fact, the so-called "grain requisition" is just a grain grab. Moreover, it will rob all the people's food and leave nothing left.

Therefore, every time there is a war, the common people will starve to death a lot. Because, as long as a large army passes by, they will be robbed of their food. No matter which way of the road, they will grab food when they come. It is strange that not a large number of people starve to death after such repetition......

When the Ming army approached Luorong County, the Yao coalition army had basically grabbed enough food and was ready to hold on for a long time......
