Luo Rucai couldn't bear the artillery of the officers and soldiers and surrendered, he didn't dare to play any tricks of deception, and obediently led the army to withdraw from Wuchang City according to Zhang Bin's request, and camped next to the Ming army camp, waiting for reorganization.

This time he really surrendered, and he had only one request, that is, to refer to the treatment of Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing, and give him the position of a guerrilla general, and he was willing to lead the army to serve the imperial court.

Zhang Bin originally wanted to refer to the previous practice, throw all his subordinates to Dongfan, and then send him to the capital and let Chongzhen deal with it, so that there would be no worries.

However, considering that in addition to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there are many other peasant rebels at this time, if they do too much, they will force these people to resist desperately or flee desperately, in that case, this thief will really be difficult to clean up.

Therefore, Zhang Bin finally agreed to Luo Rucai's request, gave him a position as a guerrilla general, and asked Zhang Pan to bring a small team of elites to him as a "personal guard", thinking that he was overseer, and transferred him to Changsha Mansion to garrison, as for Wuchang Mansion, Zhang Bin handed it over to Li Wanqing, after all, he had been appeased for a long time, and he had fought a few battles with the peasant army, and the possibility of re-judgment was not as great as Luo Rucai.

Of course, it is not excluded that these people have taken the wrong medicine and continue to play the sentence and re-sentence, however, Zhang Bin is not afraid, if anyone really dares to fall and re-sentence, then there is nothing polite to say, if he is caught, he will directly send the capital to the capital with a thousand knives, and all his subordinates will be thrown to the east, and they will make an example to see who dares to play the re-sentence.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, who really played surrender and re-sentenced, was already frightened, and news came from Wuchang City that the city wall was collapsed by the artillery of the officers and soldiers, and Luo Rucai was frightened and led the army to surrender!

This news is a bit exaggerated, the city wall was not collapsed by artillery, but the arrow battlements and the female wall were blown down, and it was still difficult for the artillery of the main body of the city wall to collapse at this time.

But these are not the point, the point is that no matter how strong the city defense is, it is useless in front of Zhang Bin, as long as he sets up the artillery and bombards it, no one can bear it!

Luo Rucai has been cooperating with him for a long time, Zhang Xianzhong naturally knows him well, this guy is as good as a ghost, but as long as there is a way to defend the city, he will not lead the army out of the city to surrender.

Since he led the army out of the city and surrendered, it proves that Wuchang City really can't stop the artillery of the officers and soldiers, and Wuchang City can't withstand Xiangyang City, can it?

Even if the city wall of Xiangyang City is one or two feet higher than the city wall of Wuchang City, then it will be a matter of a few more hours, and it will not be used at all!

He didn't dare to stay in this Xiangyang City, if it came to defense, Xiangyang City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountains in the southeast direction could be attacked, tens of thousands of troops could not be expanded, and other places were all surrounded by the Han River, like a natural moat, or the kind that could not be filled.

If you talk about escaping, then Xiangyang City is also a Jedi, people block the southeast entrance, you can only jump into the river, otherwise don't want to escape.

If the Ming army does not have a water division, it will jump into the river, it is not a big deal, the problem is that the Ming army has a water division, and this time it is said that thousands of wheels equipped with artillery came to jump into the river and escape, so as not to be bombarded into slag by them.

Zhang Xianzhong received the news of Luo Rucai's surrender and began to arrange a retreat, he gathered his subordinates scattered all over Chengtian Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion, and on the other hand, he transferred the looted gold and silver treasures and grain and grass baggage to the valley city between Xiangyang and Yunyang, as for Xiangyang City, he left 50,000 old and weak soldiers, and let his righteous son Zhang Junyong lead the army to garrison.

This Zhang Junyong is not as well-behaved as Li Dingguo, nor is he as upright as Li Dingguo, once he gains power, he will be exposed in his true form, he is playing with his daughter, robbing the common people and killing innocents indiscriminately, and the entire Xiangyang City is in a miasma, Zhang Xianzhong has long had the intention to kill his relatives, and this time he just asked the officers and soldiers to help him clean up this guy who has more than enough success.

Zhang Bin was not in a hurry to raid Xiangyang Mansion, because there is still a Chengtian Mansion between Xiangyang Mansion and Wuchang Mansion, and it is the easiest to have an accident when playing a lone army, he has no need to take this risk, and he doesn't want to overturn Zhang Xianzhong, so he did not take the enemy lightly, but fought steadily, led an army of 100,000 to advance by land and water, and recovered the city one by one, slowly approaching Xiangyang Mansion from Chengtian Mansion.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's main army basically withdrew to Gucheng, and those who stayed in Chengtianfu were all small minions, and each city was only a few hundred or thousands of people stationed, and it was very simple to recover, and the terrifying combat power of the Fuguang army was slowly revealed, like a small city with a city wall only a few feet high, they didn't need to build siege equipment at all, just push the chariot directly on, there were artillery and muskets to cover each city is devastating, and it was taken in an hour or two, and the speed of advancement was amazing.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong did not withdraw all the people to Xiangyang Mansion was naturally to hinder the officers and soldiers, he thought that Wuchang to Xiangyang more than 700 miles of territory, and his subordinates were stubbornly resistant, no matter how much the officers and soldiers could fight over, at least a month would take him to fight, so he was not too anxious, but he just ordered his subordinates to use the existing grain and grass carts to keep carrying gold and silver treasures and grain and grass baggage, and he did not panic as if fleeing.

As a result, the speed of the advance of the officers and soldiers was simply frightening to death, more than 100 miles a day, more than 100 miles a day, it was just like a rapid march, and he only made a transfer, and the officers and soldiers were already less than 300 miles away from Xiangyang!

This can't be blamed for the little minions he stayed in Chengtianfu to garrison the scum, the main Zhang Bin has a wheel in his hand, he is indeed in a hurry, every time he encounters a city, he only needs to leave a general and 10,000 horses to attack, the rest of the army does not need to stay at all, just rush forward, and wait for his generals to capture the city, he will naturally catch up by wheel, and there is no waste of time at all.

Zhang Xianzhong was really dumbfounded, because there were too many gold and silver treasures and grain and grass in his hands, and the disaster in Huguang was not very serious, and the king of Xiang and the king of Chu were both rich and oily lords, and he robbed it this time, and the silver alone was almost seven or eight million taels, and the grain was as much as more than one million stones.

Moreover, Xiangyang is also nearly two hundred miles away from Gucheng, even if he urges hard, the grain and grass cart full of gold, silver and grain can travel a hundred miles a day at most, and it will take at least four days to go back and forth, and according to his estimates, he will have to transfer at least five times to transfer all the gold, silver, treasure, grain and grass.

What should I do now, with the advancing speed of the officers and soldiers, more than 300 miles, it will not take three days, and he will have no time to fight back and forth, and this gold, silver, treasure, grain and grass will not be transferred at all!

He had no choice but to order people to load all the gold and silver treasures onto the grain and grass cart as much as possible, and then gathered all the war horses to carry the grain, and he could pull as much as he could, and if he couldn't finish it, he could only hide it in Xiangyang City.

Now the gold and silver treasures were almost transferred by him, because his first transfer was basically gold and silver treasures, and there was not much left behind after the two trips, but the grain was not enough, a war horse could carry two stones of grain at most, and no matter how many war horses would be pressed to the point that he couldn't walk, he had more than 50,000 war horses in his hand, and he could pull away 100,000 stone grain and more than 1 million stone grain at a time, most of which he couldn't pull away, so he could only stay in Xiangyang City.

Zhang Bin didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong to leave him so much food, he hadn't run desperately, he had already blessed the team of the Guangjun pure "carriage soldiers", if he was really crazy to catch up, it would not be a problem to run more than 200 miles a day.

Three days later, he finally led the army to the outside of Xiangyang City, at this time, the Fuguang army was still a full 100,000 people, because when attacking the city along the way, they were basically covered by muskets and artillery, and then pushed the chariot directly on, the peasant army in the city basically did not cause them any trouble, either scared or surrendered directly, they had no casualties at all, and they did not have to take care of the city, it was Yu Chenglong to pick up Li Wanqing's men to take over, they hit down and left on the boat, without a trace of mud and water.

At this time, Zhang Bin had actually found out that Zhang Xianzhong was not in Xiangyang City, but in Gucheng, but he still led the army to surround Xiangyang, he really didn't want to lead the army to raid Zhang Xianzhong's main force, because the guns had no eyes, he was afraid that he would accidentally kill Zhang Xianzhong!

The prince is only ten years old at this time, he has to stay up for at least five years, if he accidentally kills Zhang Xianzhong, and then accidentally kills Li Zicheng, he will build a slave if he can make Chongzhen feel threatened.

He hoped that Zhang Xianzhong would be able to be interesting and run away quickly, so his attack on Xiangyang City was simply earth-shattering!

He not only mounted 50 2,000-pound Franc machine guns on the south side of Xiangyang City and bombarded them continuously, but also ordered more than 500 light ironclad ships to surround the other three sides of Xiangyang City and bombard them continuously.

This guy, how to defend this city, the officers and soldiers can really collapse the city wall, they only have enough to eat cannonballs, looking at the arrow stacks that are constantly being flattened, Zhang Jun used instigation, "held" for less than half a day, he made people erect a white flag and lowered!

Zhang Bin knew that if the bombardment continued, the anti-thieves in the city would surrender sooner or later, so he specially prepared three days of ammunition, preparing to bombard for three days before he could say it, but he never thought that the anti-thieves would descend before they could hold out for half a day, which was really a bit unexpected to him.

However, there are more unexpected things, the guard Zhang Junyong is greedy for money and lustful, ruthless, but it is also disgusting to pat the sycophants, after he opened the city and surrendered, he licked his face and begged to see Zhang Bin, and told Zhang Bin all the hidden locations of more than one million stone of grain and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Zhang Xianzhong did not take away, just begging Zhang Bin to let him live.

Zhang Xianzhong does have a hand in the collection of silver, the silver he hid in history took hundreds of years to be discovered, if this Zhang Jun did not say it, Zhang Bin really couldn't find these silver, as for the grain, if Zhang Jun used it to make people burn, he didn't have a way.

For the sake of so much food and silver, Zhang Bin didn't embarrass Zhang Jun, but directly released him, anyway, he alone couldn't set off any waves.

As for the others, they weren't so lucky, and they were all sent to Dongfan to take care of them, and they all went to farm honestly.

He wanted Zhang Xianzhong to grind foreign workers for him, but he didn't want Zhang Xianzhong to gather more than 100,000 or 200,000 old troops as soon as he recovered, so it would be difficult for him to clean up.

Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates were all arrested and sent to Dongfan to take care of them, and this goods will be revived in the future, which is used to scare Chongzhen, Zhang Bin doesn't want to cause too much trouble for himself.
