At the same time, near the old garrison of the Sanjiang Army outside the city, in a temporarily requisitioned rich mansion.

As the commander of the third battalion, he was responsible for monitoring and suppressing the nearest position, and Yang Neng, the commander of the Sanjiang Military Headquarters outside the city, had just opened a few drinks and drank a few glasses; When I saw the characters who appeared in front of me, I only felt that my scalp was numb, my hands and feet were at a loss, and my tongue became clumsy.

"You... You.. How could it be here? ”

"Why can't I be here?"

Zhou Huai'an, who was surrounded by a pair of armor guards, smiled slightly.

"This is my defense area, and the people stationed here are also my men, but you and others led people to intrude into our army's jurisdiction for no reason, and blocked the road to block the entry and exit, what is the reason."

"Don't misunderstand the virtual leader. Next.. In the next is only to act on orders. ”

Lang turned Yang Neng into the wine cup when he heard the sound, but he stammered more and more nervously and frightened.

"Just stay, for fear that there will be chaos in the place, just in case... He really didn't think too much about it. ”

Things had come to this point, and of course he was going to be a little shocked and frightened. This is the famous "Shura monk" and ghost monk, it can be said that since he joined the rebel army, in his hands it can be said that there are countless living people who have saved the dead and helped the wounded; But the number of people who are directly or insightfully in his hands is even more innumerable.

Now it is in Jiaozhou to pacify the Nanban and sweep the return of the official army, just when the momentum is getting stronger; If it weren't for the fact that when he was assassinated and in danger, most of the people in the rebel army would have dared to think about his subordinates.

Now that he has nothing at all, he has entered the house in such a grand manner; And the guards and guards he arranged outside did not have any unexpected reactions and movements. Obviously, those subordinates were not quietly cleaned up, but they had completely turned back and surrendered to each other.

"In that case, that's fine."

Zhou Huai'an is pretending not to know.

"Please also ask General Yang Lang to come forward to inform his subordinates and join forces with me to pacify this trouble. The merits and wealth of this splash are shared by you and me, isn't it beautiful. ”

"This... Can you let some. ”

Yang Neng, who was crying and looking left and right, still wanted to fight for something, but he heard a loud staggering sound and swords flickering one after another.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Zhou Huai'an interrupted with a frown.

So, he looked at the armored soldiers who were eager to try their swords and swords, and then looked at the very playful expressions on Zhou Huai'an's faces, as well as the few subordinates who had obviously turned against each other and did not like him at all;

In the end, it was some kind of survival luck that overcame the insistence on duty, and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Since the leader is gracious, so. Dare not obey your orders. ”

Afterwards, he was "escorted" out by the front and back, and there was no chance of contact with other people at all, so he crossed the camp and crossed a sentry post to a high platform; It was facing the generals who had been hastily gathered.

"General Lang has an order, and all the brothers under the command of the right wing will advance and retreat together with the Sanjiang Army, and enter the city to quell the chaos."

Then before he could say anything, the few subordinates who had defected were already busy raising their arms and shouting.

"Afterwards, everyone has a reward, and there is land to live in."

Then, as they had hoped, carts full of silk and copper coins were used to propel them into the makeshift schoolyard; and without pity, it was dumped on the dirty mud and quickly spilled into many large pointed piles;

In an instant, the scene and the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic, and no one deliberately took the lead, but became a unified shouting and shouting;

"Enter the city to quell the chaos."

"Enter the city to quell the chaos...

"Follow the virtual army into the city to quell the chaos. There's a reward for everyone. ”

"Stay behind, forgive me for not being able to follow the left and right."

And Yang Neng, who was on the high platform, closed his eyes with a sigh in his heart. And Zhou Huai'an, who was looking at all this, could be regarded as a stone in his heart that had completely landed.

In fact, since Zhou Huai'an has made up his mind, there is no need to stay in the inner city and passively sit and watch the success or failure, but it is time to take the initiative to do something; And as a secret hole card that he has never used, in fact, in addition to many regular troops, he also has an unknown potential reserve force; It's the sick and wounded soldiers from the ambulance camp.

Over the past year or so, under his management, at least tens of thousands of soldiers have been accumulated, who have not been recruited or sent back from the front because of injuries and illness; And in his original plan and expectation, these soldiers who survived the more brutal and fierce battles, and became mature and sophisticated, when they recovered from their injuries and had the ability to return to the team, were his potential source of troops.

Therefore, in this regard, he spared no effort to invest a lot, not only through daily training and the medical staff dispatched, to subtly advocate and remind the Sanjiang Army of the benefits, but also regularly sent personnel to talk about the ancients and perform acrobatics, to carry out some of his own ideas and ideas;

It can be said that a long time ago, the foreshadowing and the first move had been laid first. Therefore, now, as long as he gives an order, these wounded who have successively met the conditions for returning to the team or need his follow-up resettlement; It can be quickly gathered to form a relatively considerable combat force;

Perhaps they lack the will to take the initiative, or perhaps they are reluctant to meet their former comrades; However, it is not a problem to ensure that the inner city is guarded or to serve as an important stronghold. In this way, Zhou Huai'an can be at ease and draw out his main combat power to act separately.

Then, thanks to Guangzhou's well-developed shipping industry and a large number of ships stranded in the port, he did not lack a way out and a way back; Things are really corrupted to the point that they are out of control, and he will break through to the port area that is still in the hands of his own people, board the ship and float to the sea, and then follow the states to make a comeback.

Therefore, under the cover and replacement of these new forces, he calmly took some elites to board the ship from the port area in the rear and entered the sea, and detoured to the Tamsui estuary in the western suburbs outside Guangzhou to start landing and preparing for the whole team. At this time, most of the people brought back by Meng Wei were still looting Zhenghuan in the city, and they would not have the will to forcibly attack the inner city for a while.

The next step is to easily break through those peripheral interceptions, intercept and kill those messengers in all directions, and block and block the range of activities of the sentinels; It took another half a day to sneak back to the old camp station, and took advantage of the situation to integrate most of the soldiers who remained in the camp; Then the two echoed from different directions, and the Yang Neng department, which was sent to cut off and block the road, faintly formed a counter-encirclement and suppression trend.

At this time, Zhou Huai'an's connections, reputation, and reputation that he spared no effort to manage in the middle and lower echelons of the rebel army came in handy here; Soon someone ran out and took the initiative to contact and negotiate,

Then, under the active guidance of these internal responses, Zhou Huai'an passed through the layers of sentry posts without hindrance, and appeared in the residence of Lang General Yang Neng like a divine soldier descending from heaven, which became a logical thing; In the end, he was able to take advantage of the situation to force him to comply, which can be regarded as a bloodless attempt to avoid a senseless cannibalism.

Although the combat effectiveness and morale of these freshly baked allies may not be able to count on much help; However, even if it is only used to wave the flag or simply stay out of the situation, it is also an important bonus to the balance of forces between the enemy and us at this moment.

"Next, it's time for us to go to Haosheng to greet Meng Liu."

Zhou Huai'an pointed to the left and right.

"Let's talk about the basic appointment."

"But at the command of the military lord (leader/leader)."

“。 Dare not (wish) to pay hard. ”

There was an unhesitating echo all around him, and then it gradually spread into a mountain of shouts and roars. With these roars one after another, more and more flags, spears, and swords held in the air converged, and turned into a mighty blue torrent that rolled across the field.

。。。。。。。。。

Outside the Younian Gate to the west of the sub-city of Guangzhou, the inner city moat that introduced the water of the small (pearl) river has been densely packed with overlapping corpses, and has become several uneven smooth roads and passages. It's just that most of them are driven by the elderly, weak, women and children, and it is obvious that in order to capture the critical points of the inner city, these rebels no longer care about their reputation and means.

And Ge Cunzhou, who was the actual person in charge of the city gate, also swallowed a mouthful of fishy blood foam, and let go of the broad sword that was cut all over the mouth, but his heart was full of sadness and helplessness; Whether it is from the city or under the city, these entangled and killed together are always the rebel brothers who once stood in the same camp and claimed to "make up for the average".

Now he is killing each other for inexplicable reasons, and he is lost in this city of Guangzhou in vain, and his eyes are red and he can't stop, how can this not make him heartache and confused; There were even a few old acquaintances he knew before, and he hesitated for a moment whether to confess and communicate privately; Then, it turned into some kind of deep indignation and rage.

Because as far as he knew, the false head of the false pipe could not be ignored by pretending to be assassinated, and it was originally to lure out the remnants and traitors who secretly colluded with the imperial court behind the deputy envoy Lin who betrayed the cause of the righteous army; But he didn't expect that after the fact, he attracted these jackal-like allies, and he couldn't wait to encroach on the cause left by the head of the division, and after winning over, he did not hesitate to compete with them, the old subordinates of Sanjiang, and fought and killed.

When Ge Congzhou learned from the capture that it was the usually quite bold and angry left-behind envoy Meng Yan who drove them behind him, it undoubtedly made him feel cold and cold again;

Is this still the righteous army that claimed to "make up for the average", "sweep away the injustice in the world", and "break a way for the poor to survive"? And what is the difference between what they are doing in the city now, and what difference is there between them and the officials and soldiers who fought and killed those who were dedicated to harming and cruelizing the people?

He can only fight to the death to protect the soldiers and people in this inner city, as well as the main achievements and foundations that the head of the management has led everyone to work hard and reduce food and clothing.

He sighed so secretly, but he kept patrolling the battlements with his sour and tired body, trying to imitate the head of the pipe and constantly using words and deeds to encourage and motivate those soldiers who stood in their respective positions over and over again.

However, the light of fire and shouts slowly rising from the rear once again broke his determination and mind to hold on.

"Things are not good, Ge Deputy Du, suddenly there are thieves in the office to sneak in and set fire to make trouble."

"Several teams of people who rushed to help were beaten back."
