Hearing Xu Chongchuan say this, the expressions of these head village owners suddenly looked a lot better, but then, someone asked not so reassuringly: "Is this true?" How can you be sure that other stockades will make the same choice? ”

"Because for this day to come, our Holy Sect has spent a lot of manpower and time, and as long as the opportunity arises, someone will take them to raise an army. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Xu Chongchuan did not hesitate to express his reasons.

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, I also saw just now, the soldiers in our villages are all good, but they suffered too much in terms of equipment and other aspects during the siege, which led to many casualties. Therefore, while besieging the city next, we should also build more siege equipment, so that even if we still have to storm Guilin later, we will be much more sure than these two days. ”

This sentence did work, and those leaders nodded in agreement: "Yes, we are indeed too anxious this time, and we only prepared some equipment at random to launch an attack. "These people attacked Guilin this time still according to the idea of attacking each other in the past, those equipment is indeed too rudimentary and short, obviously the threat to a city like Guilin is far from enough.

"In addition, there is one last point, which is also the way we can take Guilin more easily, and that is the people of our Holy Sect in the city. As long as I pass the news in, they will wreak havoc in the city, and then there will be civil strife in the city, and we will take advantage of the situation, and the fall of this Guilin city is just a gesture. ”

After Xu Chongchuan said this, the leaders of the village who had already retreated because of the successive losses of troops under the city showed their fighting intentions again, and they all seemed to be in a hurry to compete with the soldiers and horses in the city again.

After seeing them like this, Xu Chongchuan was able to settle down, at least for a short time, this team could still maintain considerable combat strength, and then it would depend on whether the foreshadowing laid by himself and the rest of the Holy Sect could be fulfilled one by one.

By the next day, the native soldiers were no longer as eager to attack Guilin as before, but only divided a few groups of men and horses to guard the four gates of Guilin in case the city army suddenly killed, and the others were sent to the nearby mountains and forests to cut down trees for the purpose of making siege equipment in the future.

The defenders at the head of the city were relieved at first when they saw the native soldiers do this.

To tell the truth, yesterday's dangerous situation caused the enemy to forcibly climb the city wall really frightened many people, including the people in the city. You must know that if they hadn't had a countermeasure, just these native soldiers who killed the head of the city would have been enough to grab the city wall, and then open the city gate and let in tens of thousands of native soldiers outside, so as to completely capture the entire Guilin City.

But even if their strategy was right, and they took the opportunity to kill thousands of native soldiers, and killed these Miao Zhuang coalition troops to the point of great confusion and heavy casualties, everyone had already given birth to a prejudice in their hearts, and this wall was afraid that it would be difficult to stop these native soldiers walking on the ground in the mountains and forests.

What's worse is that only a few people know that in fact, the musket that can turn the situation around in one fell swoop can only be used once. Because Guilin City is not a frontier fortress in the first place, although arrows, stones, and wood can be equipped, gunpowder and projectiles are extremely scarce. This time, they also used all the musket projectiles in the warehouse to exert a surprising effect, but then, as long as the native soldiers dared to attack again, I was afraid that there would be no way to stop them.

Standing at the head of the city, overlooking the rebel camp a few miles ahead, which did not have any intention of attacking, Zhou Jiao unconsciously sighed with some joy: "Fortunately, they are really as Yang Yi Shi, you expected, there is always a guard and restraint between each other, and after losing a group of people and horses, they will not dare to act rashly for the time being." Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Yang Zhen also looked at the movements of the enemy troops below, but there was a strong look of worry on his face: "There are two sides to everything, and their choice certainly gives us a chance to breathe, but it also makes them more prepared." Look, general, they've cut down trees in the woods with the intention of forging more threatening siege weapons. Once they get all these things done, the pressure on our city's defenses will be even greater. ”

In fact, Zhou Ji had already seen this clearly, and when he heard this, he smiled bitterly: "After all, we are in a passive position, they have to fight steadily, and we really have no way to deal with them." But I believe that the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to us, at least this world is still mine, once the matter spreads, the imperial court will definitely send reinforcements! ”

"Reinforcements?" Yang Zhen is not so optimistic: "Now that the situation in Guangxi is stormy, and someone has fired the first shot, no one can predict what will happen next." And if it does do as I feared, not only Guangxi, but also several other surrounding provinces will erupt in turmoil. At that time, it would not be so easy for the imperial court to extinguish the rebellion. ”

"This ...... But how is this good? Zhou Jiao suddenly panicked, and the little luck born from the current stability suddenly disappeared.

"If you want me to say, if we want to save our lives, we have to rely on ourselves, we must first think of defeating these chaotic troops outside the city, and then take the opportunity to counterattack." Yang Zhen's eyes flickered as he looked at the enemies outside the city, as if an old hunter was staring at his prey that had been tracking him for a long time.

"How easy is that? We are now on the side attacked by them, and it is a great fortune to be able to hold on, so how can we defeat them? Zhou Jiao's face was suddenly full of disbelief.

"yes, at the moment, it's a bit harder to do that. But I believe that many things in this world are done by people, and as long as we are willing to put our hearts into it, there is no reason why we can't do it. What's more, I have never been accustomed to being beaten passively, even in unfavorable situations, counterattack is my code of conduct, because only in this way can I truly turn defeat into victory! Yang Zhen said with a resolute expression.

Hearing him say this, looking at his confident appearance, somehow, Zhou Jiao, who was still a little skeptical, felt a lot more settled, and felt that this matter was not necessarily completely impossible. Of course, this was only because he was in the city of Guilin and didn't know what was going on outside, otherwise, he would never have had such a relieved thought.

As soon as the news spread that Guilin was attacked by the coalition forces of the surrounding Miao Zhuang Zhai tribes, the whole of Guangxi suddenly became a pot of porridge.

As soon as the officials in the state capitals heard about such a thing, they naturally hurriedly made two decisions, one was to quickly send the letter to the capital, and the other was to order the school and prepare to rush to Guilin for rescue.

But then, something happened. In just one night, many Tusi masters in those state cities led their families and the native soldiers and slaves outside the city to attack the official yamen.

How could the yamen, which was already in chaos, be able to cope with this sudden attack, and for a time many cities quickly fell into the hands of these toasts, the yamen was broken and occupied, the officials were either killed or captured, and the people suffered greatly, and the Guangxi prefectures became hell on earth in an instant.

At the same time, the Tusi who were in charge of the military and political power in the city in those counties that had no unscrupulous officials also quickly raised their anti-flags, and at the same time made their own positions clear, they also arrested and killed all the Han officials sent by the imperial court to play a supervisory and auxiliary role.

For a time, the whole territory of Guangxi was full of fires, and everywhere was a place where Miao Zhuang and other tribesmen rebelled and gathered, while the Han people had to flee from the city and hide in the mountains in order to protect themselves. At the same time, these state capitals, which were quickly controlled by the Tusi, were also immediately connected with each other, and one alliance after another was formed, presumably it would not be long before the whole of Guangxi would be completely united and become completely independent of the imperial court.

Of course, all this is a superficial reflection, and in the eyes of others, it is just a struggle of Miao Zhuang and other ethnic groups against the rule of the Han dynasty. Even some later historians, when referring to this rebellion, were secretive because of the national question.

But in fact, under the cover of this relatively clear reason, there is another force stirring up the storm in it, and that is the White Lotus Sect. No one knows how many people they have planted in the state capitals, how many toast heads they have been in contact with, and how they can persuade these people to make such a bold decision.

However, it seems that their arrangement for many years has obviously been successful, and in less than half a month, Guangxi has completely broken with the imperial court, and the chaos in the southwest has begun. As long as the city of Guilin is defeated, then the whole of Guangxi will completely fall, thus affecting other places.

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Guilin City, and many Tusi who had already laid their own territory and had greater ambitions also quickly made a decision and sent some men and horses to Guilin to help the army over there take Guilin as soon as possible.

If, at this time, the city of Pingle Fu, which was connected to Guangxi and Huguang arranged by the White Lotus Sect before, was also controlled by them, and the urgent reports of the state capitals were intercepted, then even if they made a detour from elsewhere to report the news, it would take a lot of time to pass on this amazing news.

Fortunately, at this moment, Qu Feng, the prefect of Pingle, had already gotten rid of the control of the White Lotus Sect, so when the news came, he immediately ordered an expedited fast horse of 800 miles to send the news to the capital, and at the same time, he immediately sent people to the nearby Huguang to ask for help, so that the situation in Guangxi could take a slight turnaround.

What many people don't know, however, is that the more frightening place, outside of Guangxi, has finally reacted to the incident......
