In addition to the second company attacking the city wall, the remaining three companies of the tenth battalion also attacked along the base of the city wall towards the north gate. Shouting and "Abandon the knife and don't kill!" "Divide the fields and divide the land!" The sound of surrender came and went under the city walls.

THE MOMENT YANG TIANBO TOOK THE FIREARM, HE SEEMED TO HAVE SEEN THROUGH THE CRACKS IN THE BRICK SAUCERS THAT COUNTLESS LOCAL RIOTERS WERE DRIVEN BY THE NATIONAL PROTECTOR ARMY AND WERE ESCAPING THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF THE NORTH GATE.

There was no time to be verbose, Yang Tianbo ordered his subordinates to voluntarily stand up for five death squad members and go with him to fight hard. More than 30 subordinates, you pushed me, and in the end, including Yang Tianbo's Xinfan fellows, only three stood up in total. Seeing that no one had signed up, Yang Tianbo immediately pointed two with his fingers: one was fond of sprinkling sand, and the other was resolutely sprinkling lime.

"Battlefield disobedience kill!" Yang Tianbo tried his best to pretend to be vicious and threaten the two Chengdu street ruffians, "Those who retreat from the battle will also be killed!"

The street ruffian was dissatisfied with the public distrust of the new leader, and swore and cursed: "As long as the company commander, big brother, you take the lead in rushing, we will not rush because the little maid in the township dam head is born!" ”

Another street ruffian reminded the leader: "Those who are useless after him, big brother company commander, you have to let them take off two pairs of shoes!" ”

The sky is getting brighter.

Yang Tianbo carried a firearm with a bayonet and silently climbed up the stone steps. He lowered his body and clinged to the edge of the battlement on his left, trying not to alert the enemy. He could clearly hear the voices of enemies and the clash of swords and guns at the corners of the stone steps.

There was about ten levels left, Yang Tianbo looked back and nodded slightly. At the bottom of the stone steps, a street ruffian yelled in his throat: "me! Hand over the fire fold, Lao Tzu will light the fire thunder and blow up the group of turtle sons! ”

Another street ruffian immediately answered: "Big brother, this is a five-pound fire thunder!" ”

The street ruffian who spoke just now had a great temper. He scolded angrily: "Five catties of pipes are used! Lao Tzu wants two ten-pound earth-shattering thunders! ”

"Heaven-shattering thunder is coming!"

A mass of black mush, bundled in rows, with a fiery rope, flew over the bend of the battlement, and flew straight towards the hiding place of the thug, and smashed into the pile of people behind the corner.

Wow! The thug suddenly blew up. Immediately a large number of human heads appeared on the battlements. The heads were all terrified, and they ran back desperately. But in an instant, someone found out that it was just a hoax. They shouted loudly at the fleeing crowd that the earth-shattering thunder was fake.

However, the enemy's instantaneous chaos was enough for Yang Tianbo. He staggered up the steps a few times, and just as the thug found out that the comer was not good, he jumped and leaned against the battlement, and the fire gun in his hand exploded.

Less than a foot away, every grain of iron in the firecracker found an audience. The two thugs leaned back, and blood immediately gushed out. The other thugs crowded on the city wall seemed to be a little confused when they were blown by the wind at close range.

This little confusion will kill you on the battlefield. Yang Tianbo's shoulder leaned on the battlement, and with the force of the rebound, a gray and slender bayonet had quickly burst out of the smoke and pierced under the ribs of a thug.

The bayonet was not finished, and the next victim was immediately found. The victim had an artery in his neck punctured, and a pair of bloody hands desperately covered the blood-spurting wound, and a terrifying whine came out of his mouth.

The bloody reality is shaking right in front of your eyes, and it's not fake.

The local thugs have always relied on the knives and guns in their hands to fight fiercely and bully the people, women and children. But when they found out that someone was more ruthless than them, they immediately exposed their true nature of being strong on the outside and doing things in the middle.

They were stupefied by the scene in front of them, called out to their fathers and mothers, turned around and ran away. But the city wall is so narrow, and there are so many people who want to run, where can you run fast? They had no choice but to push down the weak, step on the weak, or simply jump off the city, Ning Yuan broke his leg rather than face the strong.

Yang Tianbo yelled for the soldiers to follow, but the pace under his feet did not stop at all.

He chased one and stabbed another, and then chased and stabbed another.

From the corner of the city wall, the starting point of the attack, to the north gate tower of his target, it was only a short half mile. During this half-mile journey, he himself did not know how many people he had killed and how many corpses he had trampled on, until the local thugs, under the threat of the point of their bayonets, raised their hands outside the tower of the north gate and knelt on the ground, and he did not stop.

Yang Tianbo's subordinates caught up, all of them panting with their mouths wide open. Yang Tianbo ordered them to tie up this group of local thugs who were wailing for their lives, and suddenly felt that they could not stand steadily, so they sat on the steps of the city gate tower.

"Big brother company commander! You're a god! "The street ruffian who likes to sprinkle sand came running with a red body, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the spear.

He used the corner of his cotton jacket with a strong body odor to cool down his leader: "Big brother company commander! You're not mortal...... You are the reincarnation of Erlang God! ”

"Erlang God lives in Guankou!" The street ruffian who liked to sprinkle lime ran over again to correct his accomplice, "Big brother of the company commander is a new man!" Your damn bull's head isn't in the horse's mouth! ”

"Why don't you talk about the gods of Xinfan County!"

"Lao Tzu is from Huayang County, not from Xinfan County. Lao Tzu knows the immortals of Xinfan County? ”

"You don't know, then you talk nonsense!"

"You ......"

For such a, the two street ruffians wanted to grab it again, and the exhausted Yang Tianbo had no choice but to stand up and stop:

"I am who I am! Not a god! The living immortals of our Shu land are only the sons of the world! As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly added two more, "There are also the princess and Miss Luo!" ”

……

He Zengshan and Li Cunliang stood on the tower of the north gate, looking at the movement in the city, waiting for the brocade guards who came and went to send all kinds of news back.

Li Cunliang's Jinyi guards may not be able to fight hard, but detective and inspection are their old business. They perfectly played the role of the ears of the battlefield, and the first-hand information of the battlefield was quickly transmitted to the two commanders through them.

Within two hours, all the four gates of Yuechi City were occupied, and the buildings in the city and the bustling East Gate City Pass and the North Gate City Pass were intact. In the Temple of Literature near the Cross Street in the city, a large amount of food and supplies were intercepted.

The extremely excited Jinyi Wei Baihu claimed that some of the grain had been loaded into trucks, covered with bamboo mats and straw mats, and bundled tightly, and it was obvious that it was about to be transported away. More grain was piled up in the Dacheng Hall, which was more than a zhang thick. The doors and windows of the main hall were nailed shut, and they climbed in through the top window by a ladder to see them. In addition, large quantities of grain were found in the grain hoards of several mansions in the city. According to them, this operation captured most of the autumn harvest of Yuechi County.

The county government also found some 100 taels of silver ingots that had been remelted and cast, but they were much less than expected, estimated to be only more than 10,000 taels.

After a preliminary count and interrogation, at least 6,000 local thugs were captured in the city, and the killing and wounding were not counted. The vast majority of the local rioters surrendered voluntarily, and only a few stubbornly resisted.

Nearly a thousand local thugs fled through the city gates, but were intercepted and slashed by cavalry, and many of them surrendered. However, due to the low city walls of Yuechi City, some desperate local rioters chose to jump off the city and escape, and it was impossible for more than 100 cavalry to completely surround the city, so it is still unknown how many escaped.

The battle of Yuechi was brilliant, but He Zengshan and Li Cunliang were not very satisfied, because the black tiger and the heavenly stars Wang Gao and Wang Guangxing, who were in charge of the Yuechi tyrants, escaped.

The captives confessed that the two palms had led more than 200 cavalry out of the north gate to Qu County as early as the day before yesterday, leaving a message to discuss with Yuan Tao, the king of the battle for heaven, about the withdrawal of the army. When these horsemen left, the men and horses were full of great burdens, filled with gold and silver ingots.

In the past two days, it is likely to mean that Wang Gao and Wang Guangxing, the two culprits who plagued Yuechi City, have once again escaped the punishment of heaven.

……

He Zengshan and Li Cunliang slaughtered in Yuechi County, while Zhu Pingjin, Liao Daheng, and Song Zhenzong led the main force of the Protector Army to clear out the local tyrants and White Lotus bandits in the north of Guang'an City. Under the desperate situation of being surrounded on three sides and a big river on one side, and under the threat of the cannons and guns of the Protector Army, except for hundreds of stubborn local rioters who fled to Xiuping Mountain in the west of the city to join forces with Bai Wuchang to defend them, the rest of the local rioters reluctantly put down their weapons.

The local tyrants and the White Lotus bandits who had lost their swords and guns were mixed among the tens of thousands of Guang'an people who were coerced, and it would take several days to complete the screening. This is obviously not in line with Zhu Pingjin's desire to win Long Wangshu. He is now bent on counterattacking Quxian, wanting to end the battle against the local tyrants before the Lantern Festival, and then shift the focus of his work to post-war reconstruction and layout in eastern and northern Sichuan.

So the next day, Zhu Pingjin left Liao Daheng in Guang'an City, and he and Song Zhenzong led the cavalry to the north, while most of the naval army continued to trace along the river and advanced to Quxian.

At noon on the 28th of the lunar month, Zhu Pingjin led Dong Bu's cavalry across the Shaxi River and occupied Longfengzhou (Note 1). The avant-garde Tianquan cavalry had already forced out twenty miles, less than forty miles away from Qu County. At this time, Zhu Pingjin received several important news one after another.

The first news was reported by Chen Youfu and Luo Jingyun. They have successfully recaptured Qu County yesterday.

Under the fierce attack of the three battalions of the Fourth Regiment and the two brigades of Pengzhou and Yingshan, Yuan Tao, the king of the heavens, instead of going south to meet Guang'an and Yuechi, on the contrary, on the contrary, on the 26th day of the lunar month, he withdrew to Sanhui Town, north of Qu County. The intention of the Yuan Ji bandits to retreat north through Sanhui Town into Bashan or Dazhou was already very obvious.

The second news was reported by Feng Ruhu and Cai Shao. Together with Ding Xianjue's troops, they had already advanced to the left bank of the Zhou River, occupying the gate of the key point gorge of the official road along the valley of the Zhou River through the Huaying Mountains to Dazhou, less than 100 miles away from Dazhou City. At the same time, their troops also occupied several key passes of Huaying Mountain, which could prevent the local rioters from fleeing east through these key passes to Dazhu and the adjacent water boundary.

The third piece of news was reported by Li Chongwen. He had already arrived in Hezhou, visited the gentry of Hezhou, and visited the refugees there in Taohuazhai. He asked Zhu about the current situation and hoped that the refugees would be able to return to their hometowns as soon as possible to rebuild their homes and prepare for the upcoming spring planting.

The fourth message came a little later, but it was extremely important. It was sent by Liao Tycoon.

He said that Liu Weiming, the rebel king on the other side of the Qujiang River in Guang'an, sent people to swim across the river to test whether there was any possibility of recruiting peace.

Note 1: Now Xiaoxi Town.
