Chapter 93: Soldiers Coming to the City (Asking for Recommendation)

In 1119 AD, the Fangla rebel army swept almost the entire Jiangnan in full swing.

From the suburbs of Suzhou in the north, to the city of Xinzhou in the south, from the shore of Wenzhou Bay in the east, to the top of the Yellow Mountain in the west, the rebel army spread throughout the vast areas of Hangzhou, Mu, Wu, Qu, Chu, Su, Hu, Xiu, Yue, Wen, Taiwan and the 14 prefectures of She, Xuan, and Xin on the Jiangnan East Road, gathering millions of people, and capturing 52 counties in six states.

The alarm recital, which frightened Zhao Ji, who was immersed in the night strings of the song and the sound of dogs and horses, hurriedly sent troops to encircle and annihilate the Fangla uprising. With Tong Guan, the leader of the Privy Council, as the Xuanfu envoy of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huainan, Tan Zhi as the envoy of the two Zhejiang systems, Liu Yanqing as the commander of the capital, and Wang Yu, Liu Zhi, Wang Lian, Yang Weizhong, Xin Xingzhong, and Wang Yuan as generals, led a total of 150,000 people of the Western Army and the Beijing Division Janissary who were assembled in the Hedong area for the "Lianjin Attack on Liao", crossed the river and headed south, with Jiangning and Zhenjiang as the base camp, divided the troops into two routes, and attacked the east and west, in a vain attempt to force the main force of the Fangla uprising back to Qingxi and encircle and annihilate them on the spot.

Fang La's rebellion, the banner played was "to kill the thief Zhu Mian", due to the impeachment of the imperial history, Zhu Mian and his sons and nephews were deposed.

As early as a few months ago, Fang La's military advisor Wang Gong Lao Fo, strategist General Lu and general Chen Hoop Bucket suggested that Fang La attack north as soon as possible, take Jiangning City, and defend the river. In particular, the strategist General Lu put forward the proposal of "directly taking Jinling and establishing the foundation first," advocating that Jinling, which was not heavily guarded by troops, be seized first, hold the Yangtze River, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the southeastern prefectures and counties.

Fang La, however, was overly optimistic that the corrupt Beizong Dynasty would not be able to send heavy troops soon, and the rebel army could calmly seize Jiangnan. Therefore, most of the main force returned to the south and only cared about capturing the two Zhejiang counties.

However, it is different from the rebellions in history.

This time, after occupying most of the prefectures and counties on the Liangzhejiang Road, Fang La suddenly stopped the southern attack like an initiation, gathered 100,000 troops, and attacked all the way to the north, approaching Jiangning.

**********************

At dawn, the east side of Jiangning City had just turned white, and the night fog had not completely faded.

The defenders on the upper floor of the South Gate stretched out for a long time, and after a night of hard work, it was finally time to change shifts, and they were about to get into the barracks and sleep soundly.

Thundered!

A thunderous sound sounded in the sky, endlessly.

Could it be that the weather in winter will actually thunder?

The generals defending the city looked up at the sky in surprise, but found that the morning glow was blooming in the sky, and the clouds were ten thousand, and there was no sign of thunder and rain for half a day, but the thunder in his ears was getting louder and louder.

"It's the rebels! It's the rebels! Someone shouted in horror.

I saw that on the horizon in the distance, a dark cloud slowly surged, surging bigger and bigger, gradually covering the entire sky, and the dense rebel army swept in like a tide, and the thunderous sound was formed by the footsteps of thousands of troops.

100,000 soldiers and horses, enough to cover the entire field of vision, from the top of the city, only the rebels of the secret book, endless, boundless, there is no other color between heaven and earth, only the gray head of the rebels is moving!

Woo woo woo~

The sound of the trumpet rose to the sky, continuously, and the sound of warning was heard.

The government's propaganda about the Fangla uprising has reached a demonization level, and the history records that the Fangla uprising "broke through six prefectures and fifty-two counties, killing two million civilians." The plundered women escaped from the thief's hole, naked and hanged in the forest, looking at each other for more than a hundred miles", there are many exaggerated elements, but the people in Jiangning City are like beasts of flood against the rebels.

"The rebels are coming!"

"The rebels are coming!"

"The rebels are coming!"

There was a great chaos in Jiangning City, and the panicked people ran in all directions, screaming in terror, and rushed to their houses, as if hiding in their own homes and hiding in air-raid shelters, which was simply an unconscious and meaningless act of self-preservation, just like the legend of an ostrich hiding its head in the sand when it encounters danger.

The panic spread like a plague, and the entire Jiangning City was filled with an air of despair.

Wang Hanzhi, who heard the news, was surrounded by all the soldiers and galloped towards the east gate of Jiangning City. However, the panicked scene in front of him left him speechless.

This is simply the effect of the devil entering the village, the whole Jiangning City is like the end of the world, and the entire street is full of people running around, hindering the advance of the army.

Just when Wang Hanzhi was messy, Zhao Hao was galloping in a carriage surrounded by Zhao Ling and others.

In history, Fang La has been concentrating on attacking Liangzhejiang Road, and there is no main army attacking Jiangning, so Zhao Hao did not take it to heart, and he didn't expect that this time Fang La started two years in advance, compared to Fang La in history, he suddenly opened his mind and led the army to attack with all his might.

If Jiangning City is broken, under the chaos of war, Zhao's Mansion, Wangfu and Xie's Mansion and the industries in the city will inevitably be impacted, even if Fang La and Fang Qifo order not to attack Zhao's Mansion, the Wangfu and Xie's Mansion will not be spared. What's more, once Fang La occupies Jiangning and uses the Jinling and Stone City to defend the river, the imperial court's counterinsurgency battle will drag on for which year is uncertain, and the entire Jiangnan will continue to enter a state of war.

Therefore, Jiangning City's plan cannot be broken by Fang La, even if it is broken!

Seeing that the people on the street were in a mess, blocking the progress of Wang Hanzhi's party, Zhao Hao was also speechless for a while, and hurriedly shouted to Wang Hanzhi: "Lord Fuzun, quickly order the trumpeter to blow the trumpet, you have to calm everyone's hearts!" ”

Wang Hanzhi heard Zhao Hao's voice, fixed his mind, suddenly looked back, and shouted coldly to the soldiers behind him: "The whole army blows the trumpet!" ”

Woo woo woo~

Dozens of trumpeters raised the crooked horns at the same time, and in an instant, the distant and low horn horn sound rushed into the sky, and resounded throughout Jiangning City in an instant.

The majestic and suffocating and desolate sound of the bull's horn was like a violent whirlwind, which instantly blew through the whole city, and the people who were running wildly and screaming quieted down, and they got out of the way of the main road, standing under the eaves along the street, staring blankly at the thousands of Song soldiers who were coming majestically, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their eyes.

Wang Hanzhi sat on a high-headed horse, saw that the people on the street finally quieted down, took a deep breath, and hurriedly led the crowd to gallop and climb the East Gate Tower.

Rao is heart was prepared, and seeing the scene under the city, Wang Hanzhi still secretly gasped in his heart.

In the continuous sound of horns, the banner that covers the sky and the sun is like a dense forest, and behind the banner appears a dense and well-organized rebel army, which extends from the city of Jiangning to the end of the field of vision, grounded and endless.

It was only when they were only a stone's throw away from Jiangning City that the rebels slowly stopped. Under the banner of the rebels, hundreds of thousands of swords and guns converged into an endless bright gray forest, and the cold killing aura filled the void and spread endlessly over Jiangning City.

The array flag was opened, and first a team of brave armor soldiers came out of the hula, lined up in two rows, and then a Luan car that the emperor could ride slowly drove out of the formation under the embrace of dozens of horsemen.

Under the canopy, a strong man wearing a bright yellow imperial robe and an imperial crown on his head, holding the chariot wheel, stood proudly, it was the leader of the rebels, the Holy Prince!

PS: 1. Regarding the protagonist's position on the rebels, it seems to be more entangled, in fact, the treatment of the peasant uprising was originally a tangled matter, on the one hand, they did revolt because they were oppressed, and it can be regarded as an official forced rebellion, on the other hand, the peasant uprising did cause huge damage and coercion of the good people, and even the act of mutilating the people, and the protagonist is a clan after all, so it is normal to be entangled.

2. Readers like the protagonist who kills decisively, and I like it too, I can only say that an ordinary person crosses, and the character of killing decisiveness needs to be gradually honed, and once it passes, the decisiveness of killing is not in line with the original identity of the traverser......
