On the side of the official road, suddenly a cannon rang out.

Then there was a burst of gunfire.

In the darkness, the firelight flickered densely on both sides of the official road.

The shouts of the rebels turned into screams and moans in an instant.

The 1,000 rebels were blinded by the sudden attack, which was originally composed of a group of homeless deserters, without any rules, and the formation was scattered.

Three rows of flintlock muskets had been killed and wounded.

At this time, on the mountain beam, two new armies were already ambushed in the jungle.

The rebels in the mountain beam had just been awakened by the noise of the valley and had formed a queue, when fierce gunfire was heard outside the valley.

At this moment, I don't know if it's the enemy attack, then it's a fool.

The leader of the anti-army who led the team hesitated at the moment.

Listening to the sound of gunfire, it was a strong enemy who was killed, and these people instantly thought that they were the elite of the Ming Dynasty.

Relying on big swords, long spears and short bows, over the years, the rebels have long known that they are not the opponents of the elite Ming army.

So when the battle began, these people began to hesitate and become timid.

At this moment, suddenly black shadows appeared in the jungle on the mountain beam, and these black shadows drilled out of the jungle, and threw strange things that were on fire, and the things began to explode in the air before they hit the ground, and the overwhelming iron nails shot at the rebels gathered in mid-air.

Screams suddenly rang out on the mountain beams on both sides.

The explosions were followed by the firing of flintlock pistols.

The dense flintlock pistols had just fired three sections, and the rebels on the ridge of the hill had already been crippled.

Lie down in one piece.

The battle took place too quickly, and on the mountain beams on both sides, the 2,000 rebels were shot before they could even react to dodge.

The rest of the people have been scared.

"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"

After the gunshot, shouts rang out from the dark shadows on the opposite side.

When the anti-army, who had already been frightened, heard this, they dared to hesitate and fell to their knees one after another.

A battle comes out of nowhere, and then ends quickly.

When dawn came, the battlefield was cleaned up.

The city of Quwo, seven miles away from the battlefield, began to awaken in the light of dawn.

The city gate opened, and the gatekeeper of Quwo City walked out of the gate rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by an exclamation.

At the gates of the city, nearly 1,000 people were tied up and thrown to the ground, their clothes wrapped tightly around their mouths.

All of them were young and strong, and many of them had blood on their faces.

The dozen or so people who were thrown closest to the city gate were each tied to a wooden plaque with a bloody inscription on it: Shaanxi Anti-Army!

After seeing the situation in front of them, the guards at the city gate hurriedly entered the city to inform the county, and the people in the city were also disturbed.

When everything happened in Quwo City, Tang Xidong had already rushed towards Yicheng County with the new army.

Yicheng County has 7,000 rebels, but there were more than 10,000 people in the city, and Tang Xidong didn't know how many of these more than 10,000 people would join the rebels, or they were directly coerced by the rebels and forced to follow the rebellion.

Last night's big victory, he didn't have time and no men to guard those rebels surrendered to the young strong, these people are thieves for a day, they will be thieves for the rest of their lives, Tang Xidong didn't see it, but he didn't want to order indiscriminate killing, so he sent his soldiers to take advantage of the night to tie up these people and send them to Quwo County, and dispose of them at will by the county lord of Daming.

Whether the other party forged or faked the battle exploits, or killed his head directly, it had nothing to do with him after last night!

Yicheng is more than 50 miles away from Quwo.

When it was hot at noon, Tang Xidong had already led his army to feel the outskirts of Yicheng.

found a shady place in the dense forest on the side of the official road, and ordered all of them to be repaired.

After a day of rapid marching, coupled with yesterday's night battle, although the battle was easy and there were few casualties, the soldiers were nervous and needed a period of rest at ease.

On a July day, it was hot at noon and sweaty, even if Tang Xidong was eager for revenge in his heart, he didn't want to be tired and suffer these five thousand elites.

When the army was repaired, the scouts still went to Yicheng County to investigate.

According to intelligence, often every evening, the 3,000 rebels who went out would send people back to the city, first, to report the news, and second, to escort the looted property.

If there is no return of the rebels today, the city will know that something has happened.

For all this, Tang Xidong has already dealt with it, everything has been arranged, and when the evening comes, he will definitely be able to break through the gate of Yicheng in one fell swoop.

Intelligence shows that the person who commanded the troops in Yicheng was Wang Guozhong, the younger brother of Wang Jiayin, who followed Wang Jiayin around since he joined the army, but he had not been released to lead the troops until Wang Jiayin defeated Yangcheng and Qinshui, and then allocated troops to Wang Guozhong, so that he led the troops to defeat Yicheng County, guard Yicheng, and plunder the trade road.

Tang Xidong didn't know that Wang Guozhong, who was commanding the troops in Yicheng at the moment, was the helper who cooperated with Wang Jiayin's wife and brother Zhang Liwei to assassinate Wang Jiayin in the original history.

Wang Jiayin raised troops, Wang Guozhong followed, and the battle was also brave, but when Wang Jiayin was crowned the king and set up an official, he only named Wang Guozhong a pro-army general, and his official position was nondescript, and his grade was even more unclear.

As a result, Wang Guozhong secretly had a dislike.

Originally, Cao Wenzhao led troops to besiege Wang Jiayin, and Wang Guozhong will, under the bewitchment of Zhang Liwei, collaborate to murder Wang Jiayin.

Now that history has changed, Wang Guozhong was released by Wang Jiayin, and he became the emperor of Yicheng County.

Wang Guozhong was greedy for money and power, the soldiers robbed property, embezzled half of it himself, and then took out a little profit to his subordinates, and finally the rest was sent back to Wang Jiayin's seat.

After leading the troops, the emperor was far away, no one was in charge, and he was even more comfortable, and at this time, the idea of going it alone with his subordinates had already been born in his heart.

All day long in Yicheng County, drinking and having fun, oppressing the people, and encroaching on the people's daughters, while enjoying the hearts of his soldiers.

In just a short period of time, Yicheng County has been full of mourning and complaints, and the people's grievances are monstrous.

In the evening, it was overcast.

Outside Yicheng County, a group of anti-army uniforms walked slowly, pulling pack horses, dragging carts, and squeaking towards Yicheng County.

The city gate was about to be closed, and Xiaoqi, who was going to go back to the city early to have fun, looked unhappy, and when he saw the long queue and returned with a full load, his face showed joy.

The head pulled the carriage and stopped at the gate of the city, looked back at the team behind him, showed a hint of timidity in his eyes, turned around and lowered his head and smiled at the small flag in front of him.

"Brother Caihuai, are you guarding the door today?" With a flattering smile on his face, the young posterior endured the fear in his heart and looked a little uneasy.

Xiaoqi, who was guarding the door, lowered his head and glanced at Housheng, and then was very unhappy: "Huzi, why is it your kid who escorts the car today, and he comes back so slowly?" ”

Huzi's face changed, and then he smiled: "It's not that the caravans have been too scared to cross back and forth recently, General Chang is waiting to let him save more money and grain, and then pull back together, so it's too late to come back." In the past two days, General Chang has been pleasing to my eyes, and today he handed over the task of escorting the car to me. ”

As he spoke, he squeezed out a smile.

"You kid also stepped on shit, and good things fell on you, let my brother see what he had?" With that, Xiaoqi walked towards the carriage and horses behind Huzi.

Seeing that Xiaoqi was about to move forward, Huzi's face was anxious and he grabbed it.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiaoqi turned around very unhappily.

Huzi took out a paper ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xiaoqi's hand: "Brother, I will keep the benefits for you early in the morning, and you will raise your noble hand." Now that the money and grain are not easy to rob, General Chang has repeatedly instructed that if you transport it back to the city and find that you are missing a penny and a grain of grain, you will ask for the head of your tiger brother, you can do it well, let your brother live for two more days, okay? ”

Xiaoqi glanced at the paper ticket, but unfortunately he didn't recognize the words on it, so he leaned over and made a look.

Huzi hurriedly whispered: "One hundred taels, one hundred taels, don't dare to fool my brother." ”

"That's pretty much it, let's go inside!"

Xiaoqi smiled very satisfied, and waved his hand to hurry into the city.

So Huzi stood on the side of the road with Xiaoqi, telling some meat jokes, and in the laughter of the two, the team slowly entered the city and went to the depths of the city gate.

No one noticed that many of the people in this team had never seen before.

Shaanxi is an anti-army, the composition is too mixed, and from time to time it is wrapped up in a group of homeless people, even Wang Jiayin does not dare to say that he has seen everyone under his generals, let alone the details of everyone.

Otherwise, in the original history, Wang Jiayin would not have been beheaded by his wife and brother.
