In these days, Chai Ping, who was once called the "white-headed ghost" and "white-headed devil", fought hard in Guiyang City in Lianzhou, cutting down groups of enemies who came forward and shooting them down outside the temporarily established front.

At this time, he didn't expect that he would be planted in the hands of a soil group leader named Chen Yanlian. You must know that these under him are all carefully selected veterans of the rebel army, and there are even many old brothers who have fought most of the world from the north and south.

This leader of the Tutuan named Chen Yanlian had even killed Dong Yue, the assassin of Chenzhou, more than a month ago and set himself up as a defense envoy; But there was no news from the left-behind division. And some of the armor and equipment seized from the training of the other party's regiment also made Chai Ping feel a certain sense of familiarity.

Because it bears the mark of the governor of Nanhai County; According to the careful rules laid down by the Void Chief, all military products in the area must be composed of the date of production and the number of the batch, place, and supervisor.

Therefore, although most people can't understand what this thing is, the craftsmen and accountants who maintain and manage the equipment in the army use this to find out the corresponding origin and specific source. And these weapons are obviously the latest batch of materials to be handed over to the north.

If it was only robbed halfway, it would be forgivable, but if there was another source, it would inevitably make people think about it and be a little resentful; After all, the route of Guizhou to Jiangling through the waterway of the Guling Canal is at least the boundary between four or five counties between Zhaozhou, Hezhou and Daozhou, which is located at the southern foot of the Mengzhu Ridge, one of the five mountains, surrounded by mountains.

How did these weapons that were transported north fall into the hands of these earth groups far away from the mountains, and what happened and the inside story during this period; This result couldn't help but make Chai Ping more and more upset.

The successive successes in sorties and sweeps these days have undoubtedly made the whole army feel a little arrogant and impetuous. And he couldn't help but be too big, and he was caught off guard for a while in Guiyang City, which took the initiative to open the door to welcome the surrender, he was attacked and raided by ambushes in the four city squares; As a result, these strong pawns who were good at mules and horses could not be used at all, and they were divided and scattered.

Finally, when the government of the city, which had been burned with firewood in advance, opened the way and the obstacle with the stabbed mount and rushed to the city gate, and was blocked by the obstacles of the street; Only the small half of the centaurs that could be gathered around him remained, and the rest were scattered or lost in the state city;

Although the situation is not the worst outcome at the moment, there is no doubt that he has also been trapped by the thieves, and has lost contact with the camp left behind outside the city. Although he had already released the flame arrows of communication and communication, the result of not receiving a response for a long time made his mind only sink.

Seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark, there were not many arrows left, and the soldiers were even more thirsty and hungry; He could only quench his thirst and eat some dry food by finding a well; Then, the rekindled fire illuminated the buildings in the neighborhood that served as shelters, and the mud groups did not hesitate to set fire to the streets from the upper wind to persecute and drive them away.

I saw that in the midst of screams, weeping, and shouting, many residents who had escaped from the thatched huts and wooden houses that had been set on fire were hidden.

。 They pleaded with those who set the fire, only to be mercilessly knocked down, cut to the ground, or simply dragged back alive.

Suddenly, when I saw these remnants of the righteous soldiers, I was a little dumbfounded; Although many of them have seen the atrocities and cruelty of many officers and soldiers; However, this method of brutalizing the local people by local regiments is still too outrageous.

"Get me some bedding. It's all wet and draped in front of you. ”

Chai Ping saw some kind of turning point and flaw in it, and couldn't help but say in a hoarse voice

"the rest of the guys, our outstanding way of life this time may be in the direction of the fire."

"In the seventh year of Qianfu (879): Guiyang tyrant Chen Yanqian took advantage of the chaos to occupy Chenzhou, killed and assassinated Shi Dong Yue and became independent; and wrapped the crowd to hit the head of the grass thief Chai Bai, and got a lot. ”

"Lianzhou Affair"

。。。。。。。

Hundreds of miles away is Jiangnan West Road.

On the north bank of the river, the city of Hanyang, which was captured after the tragic price, was already shrouded in a thick blood that could not be dissolved; The people of the city, whether they were of high or low status, were snatched out in the race to flee and hide, and fell into the flames and slaughter with crying and begging.

"The Great King, the Yellow King. Brother Meng and Meng Zuojun's affairs can't be just counted like this. ”

A rebel general wearing a Fan Yang hat pleaded loudly beside Huang Chao in Jinqiu.

"Only, just divide one of my men, not much, eight thousand people, no. . . Six thousand hands. ,,Five thousand Ding Zhuang is also OK. ”

"I can sweep the Guangfu and cut off the head of the thief monk and the purple face who killed a thousand knives. Give you a smooth ride. ”

In the midst of a mocking or ridiculous look and countenance, Huang Chao still walked away; But someone couldn't help but sneer.

"Old yellow sheep, you can blow it hard; Even if it blows into the sky, it has to fall. ”

But it is a Si Zuo Lang general who wears two gears of armor and Yang Neng.

"At the beginning, Meng Liushou had four entire military orders, known as 30,000 horses; But I still haven't been able to fight the path of the purple-faced and ghost monks. Why do you take these goods to deliver food? People are now also under the banner of the righteous army."

"Do you dare to underestimate my righteous soldiers? Or I'll do the next one first. ”

And this general with a Fan Yang hat is famous as Yang Fusheng, who was born with an old appearance, but he was one of the generals that Huang Wang personally accepted when he passed through Jiangxi. I saw that he suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted.

"Whoever instigates is a dog."

“。。。。”

However, as the leader and leader of the much-anticipated rebel army, Huang Chao also had his own confusion and troubles during this time, and he couldn't say it clearly.

Although, it is not uncommon for him to travel thousands of miles along the way, betrayal and detachment from the righteous army, and there is no shortage of fratricidal fires and embezzlements; But this time the impact was a little different from the past, so that when he was alone, he had a faint suspicion and regret about whether he had given the wrong hint in the first place.

There were still cronies before, such as Yang Shigu, who could explain and express his feelings to him; But now, as the authority of his own family becomes heavier and stronger, the number of times the other party can take the initiative to make suggestions and admonishes seems to be becoming less and less, as if there was an invisible barrier; Although some people around him explained that this was due to the loneliness of being a superior person, it was also for the sake of the prestige of being a lonely widow in the future.

However, the consequences of Guangzhou's severance of support and delivery have been fully manifested in these days; Because of the sudden lack of such a large and stable replenishment, the accumulation of food and equipment in the army of the Eastern Route has almost plummeted, and people can't help but think of the various benefits of the back road worry-free and even the wounded have been accommodated.

After getting used to something, losing it makes people obviously feel a little uncomfortable and annoyed. Therefore, he needed to assign more men to the surrounding outposts and food to meet the needs of the increasingly large army that had gathered along the way; He even had to deliberately assign some fortifications to attack some fortified cities and consume some of them to alleviate the pressure on food.

But he is also the lord of the millions of righteous armies, the savior of the poor and poor in the world; After gaining momentum again, they will inevitably be burdened by fame and slogans, and they cannot openly refuse or take the initiative to drive away these poor people who are hungry and cold; Instead, they could only take one step at a time and attack towards the place where the officers and troops were entrenched.

Therefore, the trend of the army that is now rolling forward is like a boat sailing against the current, and the basic pattern of retreating if you do not advance; However, for the general leader's Huang Chao, there is hardly any retreat and a chance to slow down. Because almost everyone under his command now wants to forge ahead in the rich and prosperous Huahua Jiangnan, and most of them are unwilling to go back to Lingnan, where the summer heat and humidity are rampant.

Especially after the successive defeats on the Western Front and the Central Front, the atmosphere in the army became even more cautious and conservative; And the commanders, generals, and military masters of the various departments under his command are not lacking in the existence of secret communication with Guangfu; God knows where the extra canned and compressed dry food in their army came from after the end of the economy.

In fact, after the setbacks of these two roads one after another, there are already many people in the righteous army who want to follow the example of Wang Pan and the Xu's monk who occupied the three states of Chaoxun at the beginning, or Cao Shixiong and Wang Chuwen, who now occupy Jiangling and do not let go, even if the friendly army dares to use the knife. And began to play the idea of occupying a piece of land nearby to operate and encompass.

There are also people who question and inquire about why the good situation in Canton has come to such a high point; Some people even tried to reveal that since this was the case, whether they could clarify the misunderstanding with the Cantonese side or rebuild the old friendship in order to restore the compromise intention of the army's supply.

Therefore, it was hoped that they would be forced to press the heads of the oxen to drink water, and turn back to attack the place in Canton, which was said to have been shaved to the ground; It is better to grab a few cities nearby and accumulate more wealth is more realistic. That is, a resolute and resolute immortal figure like Huang Chao can still rely on his still noble prestige and strong means to drive and drive them to continue to attack and kill.

"The sinner puppet Dynasty Changsheng Island Town General Huang Shi has seen the commander of the righteous army, and the general of the sky. ."

Then, a general with fresh blood on his body and the color of the officer's military uniform also knelt in front of Huang Chao with a humble and sycophant face.

"Thank you, King Huang, for forgiving me for my stubborn resistance to the righteous master. I am willing to lead the children to serve the subordinates and drive"

Huang Chao's tight skin suddenly relaxed, this guy led his troops to garrison in the fortress outside Hanyang City and took the initiative to open the city and surrender when he saw that the situation was not good. It is said that during this period of time, the rebel army surrendered and gathered a lot of officers and soldiers, but it is the first time that a large formation of about 3,000 people like him has come to vote, and it may not be of some use.
