Zhang Bin received the news from Sun Chuanting, and really pinched a cold sweat, he really didn't expect that there were still spies and thieves in the Qin army!

Perhaps, because his heart is too big, Sun Chuanting recruited too many people at one time, in history, the Qin army only had a total of more than 20,000 people, which is like now, it has recruited 50,000 people, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, there are many people, and it is inevitable that the fish and dragons will be mixed.

Fortunately, Sun Chuanting came up with a clever plan, using the spies mixed with He Renlong's hands to send wrong information to the thieves, luring them to go to Meridian Valley to attack Xi'an, otherwise, his hard work may be in vain!

At this time, he had already led the army to Yunyang, Qinling and Daba Mountain he had arranged hundreds of elite special combat battalions, so he was clear about the movements of the peasant army, the main force of the peasant army had just set off to Hanzhong, here he led 80,000 troops to set off, as for Junzhou City, he left Qin Yiming to lead 5,000 Henan soldiers to garrison.

Originally, the anti-thieves did not dare to attack Junzhou City, but at this time he left another 5,000 men and horses, even if the anti-thieves attacked with all their strength, it was impossible to take it in a short time, but there was no need to worry about the rear, he just needed to pay attention to the supply of grain and grass along the way.

Zhang Bin led the army on the rugged mountain road for two days, and finally arrived near Yunyang City, he found a mountain, carefully observed it with a telescope, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

To be honest, before he came, he was a little worried, although the elite of the special operations battalion had almost investigated the situation in Yunyang City, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, he was still not at ease.

For example, the defense of Yunyang City, he thinks that Yunyang is the capital city, the residence of the Huguang Xing Division, or the location of Yunyang Fuzhi, no matter what, it is not far off, and it may even be stronger than Junzhou, but, the news that the scout has returned, the defense of Yunyang City cannot be compared with Junzhou City at all, and it is not even as good as Luzhou City, is it possible?

At this time, he saw with his own eyes, it was really like this, the city wall of Yunyang City was not even six zhang, or even two zhang, and there was no moat, there was no trace of artillery on the city wall, and the defense power was indeed inferior to Luzhou City, he really couldn't understand why the imperial court put the residence of Huguang Xingdu Division and the governance of Yunyang Fuzhi in such a small city like a county seat, which made him worry in vain for several days!

For another example, according to the scout's report, Yunyang City is next to the Han River, and the Han River is still relatively abundant here, and it can also be boated, he really can't believe it, the drought in the northwest has lasted for so many years, and the upper reaches of the Han River can still be boated, but now he looks, indeed, the Han River can still be boated, when he came over, he saw several large natural reservoirs along the way, probably, it is precisely because there are more natural reservoirs here, the Han River has maintained an abundant amount of water.

This was undoubtedly good news for him, because Dongshengtang had already mobilized a lot of ships to transport grain and grass in the direction of Junzhou City, and since the Han River here could still be sailed, it would be even better, and it would be much more convenient to transport grain by water than by land.

As for the thieves in Yunyang City, he just wanted to shake his head when he looked at it, what a mess, not to mention the messy clothes, even the weapons were messy, and the handsome flag was even more dazzling, what Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Zhuwei, Jiang Shen Han Yang, etc., all the surnames of the hundred families are almost together!!

Obviously, these are miscellaneous cards within miscellaneous cards, cannon fodder among cannon fodder, purely to consume his time.

The only thing he couldn't understand was that these people knew that they were staying to be cannon fodder, why did they stay, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong gave these people some benefits, so that they didn't even want their lives!

In the face of these cannon fodder, Zhang Bin didn't bother to think about it, he directly ordered the Qi family army and the Tianxiong army to set up a formation, the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot was lined up, and the tiger squat artillery car was erected, so neatly lined up two miles outside the east gate of Yunyang City, first deterrence and deterrence, and then ordered the Shanxi army to build a cloud ladder, and ordered the Sichuan army to prepare for the siege.

Looking at the terrifying formation outside the city, a peasant army leader finally couldn't help but panic: "Cao Cao, why don't we withdraw, anyway, there is nothing for us here." ”

The other leaders of the peasant army all nodded their heads and showed expressions of approval, looking at Sai Cao Cao and Luo Rucai with blank eyes, and when he nodded, they would spread their feet and run away.

It's a pity that Luo Rucai not only didn't nod, but shook his head and said: "No, these foot soldiers on the city wall will definitely follow you as soon as you run, so how can you consume the time of the officers and soldiers?" ”

Another leader of the peasant army said tremblingly: "The problem is that they can't stand it for long when we are here, according to the posture of the officers and soldiers, I estimate that they can knock down the city wall in an hour at most, is it useful to spend an extra hour on them?" ”

"yes, yes." The other leaders of the peasant army chimed in, they knew quite well about their newly recruited foot soldiers, that is, a group of peasants who had just put down their hoes, compared with the officers and soldiers outside the city, they were more than 108,000 miles behind, and it was already very good to be able to withstand an hour.

What's the use of an hour, they really don't want to risk it here, if the officers and soldiers suddenly get nervous and bang at the city gate, they will definitely be knocked down a large piece!

Unexpectedly, Luo Rucai still shook his head resolutely and said: "What do you know, it takes less than an hour for officers and soldiers to attack the city, but they set up a position and make siege equipment for more than an hour, and after attacking the city, they also have to clean the battlefield, count prisoners, treat the wounded, bury the corpses, rest and replenish, etc., there are many things, and a day is definitely not endless." If we run like this, leave an empty city for them, and they rush in and occupy it, how much time will it take? ”

When the leaders of the peasant army heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless for a while, which clearly showed that the lives of their subordinates consumed the time of the officers and soldiers!

However, they didn't say anything more, anyway, the lives of their foot soldiers were not worth much, and they all planned to "give" them to the officers and soldiers, what difference did it make between dead and alive, as long as they were careful to save their lives.

Zhang Bin didn't expect Li Zicheng to set such a cold-blooded strategy, and he didn't expect that the leader of the peasant army wanted to "send" his infantry to him to consume his food.

"Boom, boom", a violent roar of artillery, the entire Daba Mountain seemed to tremble, and then, there was a burst of dense muskets and loud shouts of killing, and the peasant army foot soldiers on the city wall were suddenly frightened and cried wolf, and became a pot of porridge, but the leader of the peasant army on the city gate tower ran away under the leadership of Luo Rucai!

Here, Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming, two fierce generals, had just rushed up the eastern city wall with the Sichuan army, and over there, Luo Rucai had already led a group of peasant army leaders and their cavalry to swarm out of the west gate and fled quickly in the direction of Ankang.

What an hour, in less than a quarter of an hour, the eastern city wall was occupied, Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming only cut down a few pipes in total, and the peasant army foot soldiers fell to the ground and surrendered!

In fact, when the dense gunfire sounded, they already wanted to surrender, but they were pressed by these old management teams, management teams, and small management teams and did not dare to surrender.

The east city wall was taken down so inexplicably, Zhang Bin swept the east gate tower with a telescope, and couldn't help but move in his heart, these guys, they won't just run away from the fight, thinking of this, he immediately ordered Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi to lead their Shanxi army to quickly go to the other three city walls to see.

Sure enough, the other three walls of the city have become a mess, and the west gate has already been opened, and many foot soldiers are desperately fleeing west.

The speed of the foot soldiers was naturally not as fast as that of the cavalry, and soon, they were captured by the cavalry led by Li Dingguo and others.

This battle was called an easy one, it was just like an offensive and defensive drill, the Sichuan army rushed to the city wall, and the peasant army immediately surrendered, except for the peasant army who was killed and wounded by shells and bullets at the beginning, there were almost no casualties on both sides.

However, when the prisoners were counted, Zhang Bin was really shocked, in such an easy battle, he actually captured fifty or sixty thousand peasant army foot soldiers, these people, they wouldn't have deliberately given away their heads!

He thought about it carefully, and then understood the thoughts of these peasant army leaders, these foot soldiers were originally cannon fodder-like existence, for them, almost dispensable, as long as the cavalry in their hands did not lose, they could quickly snowball, the reason why they gave so many foot soldiers to him like heads, mainly to consume his food.

If someone else leads the army to encircle and suppress, this trick can indeed make people want to die, because the imperial court is short of money, and sometimes even the army's grain and grass can't be gathered, and where can the food come from to feed the prisoners, once stuffed 50,000 or 60,000, once 50,000 or 60,000, as long as it is stuffed three or four times, it must collapse the whole person.

It's a pity that they met Zhang Bin, would Zhang Bin be afraid of many prisoners, of course it is impossible.

Han Xin's order is that the more soldiers, the better, but Zhang Bin is the more prisoners, the better, fifty or sixty thousand, it's just a trivial matter.

For the prisoners, he has already made arrangements, the Dongfan side is in full swing at this time to open up the wasteland and build a city, the shortage of people is terrible, and he is not too much for more than 500,000 peasant troops to become prisoners!

He immediately sent an order to the direction of Junzhou, ordering the sailing boat of Dongshengtang to transport the grain directly to Yunyang, and then directly escorted the prisoners to the grain ship, went down the river, and rushed to Wuchang.

At this time, there are not too many ships of Dongshengtang, and almost all kinds of warships replaced by the Fujian Navy Division have been handed over to Dongshengtang, and Wuchang has gathered a large number of lucky ships, just waiting for the prisoners to arrive, they can set sail and float all the way down the Yangtze River to Songjiang Mansion.

On a large desert island less than fifty miles away from Songjiang Mansion, a large port has been built, where there are not only Zhenyuan cruisers, Weiyuan battleships, light ironclad ships and other types of steamships and warships, but also a large amount of grain and grass baggage, Zhang Bin has established a large transfer station there, specially used to transport grain and grass baggage, and the steamers from the east are just bringing these prisoners back, and there will be no waste of time at all.

Li Zicheng didn't know that the poisonous trick he used couldn't slow down Zhang Bin's pace at all, and he thought that if he stuffed more than 200,000 prisoners, Zhang Bin couldn't walk, so he volunteered to stay in Hanzhong, he thought that Zhang Bin would not be able to reach Hanzhong at all, and he would return to Junzhou because of the lack of grain and grass.

He wanted to know that Zhang Bin could quickly digest the captives, and he would not be killed at all, and he would not stay stupidly if he said anything.

Because of this, he escaped, if he dared to enter the Meridian Valley with Gao Yingxiang, it was estimated that he would not be able to escape the fate of being caught.

Zhang Bin was cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, burying the corpses, counting the prisoners, arranging transfers, and replenishing grain and grass in Yunyang, which was really delayed for several days, and when he set off again, Gao Yingxiang had already led the main force of the peasant army to capture Hanyin, but he was not in a hurry, anyway, the peasant army had already entered the net, and it was only a matter of time before the net was closed.

After arranging everything in Yunyang, he left Wang Shangli to lead 5,000 Shanxi troops to garrison, and set off with more than 70,000 horses, and continued to chase westward.

However, when he arrived in Ankang, Zhang Bin finally encountered a hard stubble, because Zhang Xianzhong was a little reluctant to have nearly 100,000 foot soldiers under his men, and he had not suffered too much loss under the hands of officers and soldiers, so he wanted to rely on Ankang to defend and repel Zhang Bin!

Ankang is not called Ankang at this time, but called Xing'an Prefecture, which was originally subordinate to Nanyang Mansion, in the eleventh year of Wanli, because Jinzhou was flooded, the imperial court built a new city in the south of the city, and after the new city was built, Xing'an Prefecture was changed to directly subordinate to Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong has the confidence to rely on Ankang to garrison is mainly that Jinzhou City is a newly built state city, and its defensive strength far exceeds that of Yunyang, and Jinzhou New City is built at the foot of Zhaotai Mountain, the terrain is higher, it is close to mountains and rivers, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he believes that with more than 100,000 troops under his command, it can completely withstand the attack of less than 70,000 officers and soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Bin's men are indeed less than 70,000 horses, because Yunyang, Baihe and Xunyang have to stay guarded, and his subordinates have a total of 65,000 men and horses at this time, however, among the remaining 65,000 men and horses, 10,000 Qijia army, 10,000 Tianxiong army and 20,000 white pole soldiers are still there, and the combat effectiveness has not decreased in the slightest.

However, Zhang Xianzhong was still quite ruthless, he personally supervised the battle at the east gate, and forced his infantry to carry out cannonballs, braving dense bullets to launch wave after wave of counterattacks against the besieging white pole soldiers, arrows, rolling stones, and sassal wood together, which really caused a lot of losses to the besieging white pole soldiers, so angry that Zhang Bin sent Lu Xiangsheng, Qi Yuangong, Cao Wenzhao and Li Dingguo to rush to the city wall and slash wildly, only to frighten Zhang Xianzhong back.

In this battle, Zhang Bin captured nearly 100,000 foot soldiers at one time, but he also paid the price of thousands of casualties, Zhang Xianzhong was beaten away by him, but he had to stay in Ankang to rest for a few days, treat the wounded, replenish food and grass, and arrange for the transfer of prisoners.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang had already led more than 100,000 main forces into the Meridian Valley, and Li Zicheng continued to press towards Hanzhong with nearly 100,000 foot soldiers and the 5th Battalion of Gezuo.
