Tan Xiong ended the conversation with Ansai Chengneiying, who only asked that after the city was broken, he could get enough food and property, and Tan Xiong, Gao Zizhi and other leaders agreed to their request.

According to the information revealed by Neiying, the original Chai Guobi of Ansaizhi County has died of illness due to overwork. Now the person who is acting for Ansai Defense in place of the magistrate who died of illness is the pedantic and deaf experience Hu Dunyi. (Note 1)

Tan Xiong is a native of Ansai and has a certain understanding of the officials in Ansai. Hu Dunyi's idiot is not to be afraid at all, as long as the agreed date is reached tomorrow, the money and women in Ansai City can be disposed of by Tan Xiong and the others.

In fact, Tan Xiong and his gang didn't have any special requirements, they just hoped to fill their stomachs. However, the rebels responded to the call, and now they have decided to take the county seat and rob the rich families in the city. It would be even more perfect if he could get the appeasement of the imperial court and make a fortune after conquering the county seat, like the thieves elsewhere.

"Big boss, Ansai City will be ours tomorrow. It's just that what should we do after we lay down the city, occupy the city and ask for recruitment? ”

Gao Zizhi looked at the contacts who should be sent in the city and walked out, and asked the big boss from the Tan family camp. In fact, Gao Zizhi is also an Ansai person, and in the turbulent days of the past few years, quite a few people in Ansai have chosen to be thieves. Among them, there was a horse dealer with the surname Gao who also had some fame, and among the many thieves in the field, this horse dealer called himself the king. (Note 2)

"Defending the city will definitely be wiped out by the official army, let's grab a handful and leave. I heard that there is a student named Guo Rupan in the city, who is quite prestigious among the official gentry, and if we take him away, we may be able to spread some word to the government. And in Jinding Mountain, that security county, the second boss surnamed Guan, didn't he come back with an official body a while ago. Let's tie up his relatives and people. Tan Xiong has already made a plan, and he also hopes to be like Guan Zhiqing, who can be recruited by the imperial court to become an official and make a fortune.

"Yes, we just want to tie up more people, let the government know how powerful we are, and also seal an official for us." The other leaders in the tent echoed the big boss's claims.

Just as the leaders of the thieves were talking, suddenly there was a faint sound of muffled thunder from outside the tent. Tan Xiong couldn't help but feel a little strange, this weather didn't look like it was going to rain. But before he could ask his henchmen outside the tent, a shout of killing suddenly sounded from all over the camp, and the cries and screams of Tan Xiong's subordinates also came from everywhere.

"Oh no, something happened." Tan Xiong finally realized that something was wrong, grabbed his waist knife and rushed out. The other leaders who reacted also hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent, shouting chaotically for their subordinates to organize their men to defend against the enemy.

It's just that they soon find themselves in the middle of running for their lives, because the surprise attack has already reached their approach.

……

Wu Dayong used the willow leaf-shaped waist knife in his hand to cut off the head of a thief. After the head fell to the ground, it rolled not far from him, and at this time, there was no enemy around Wu Dayong who dared to turn back and resist.

If Wu Dayong still maintained the habit of two or three years ago, he would probably dismount and grab the first rank as soon as possible. But now Wu Dayong didn't even look at the head that was close at hand. Instead, he picked up the guy in his hand and followed behind the leader of the cottage Xiucai to continue to slash and kill the thieves along the way.

Wu Dayong is a native of Jingbian and is also from a military family. In fact, he was a fugitive from the Qin Wang Army in Yansui Town in the second year of Chongzhen. At the beginning, his boss took them to the king of Weiqin, but the promised money and food were never delivered, Wu Dayong and a few friends stepped forward to theorize, but they were punished with military sticks.

Wu Dayong and others, who did not want to be angry, fled directly to northern Shaanxi on the way to King Qin. They didn't dare to go home, wandered around Baoan County, and were finally recruited into the cottage by the people of Jinding Mountain.

King Qin's army is an elite army along the border, and Wu Dayong's skills are naturally good. With his excellent combat skills, Wu Dayong was incorporated into the cavalry team of the Chinese army led by Zhang Mengguang of Jindingshan.

After some training, Wu Dayong changed some of his original riding and chopping habits. And under the strict teaching of the leader Zhang Mengguang, Wu Dayong also became a good lancer.

Although he was holding a saber in his hand now, it was only because Wu Dayong's line gun was left on the enemy's corpse when he was following the leader of Xiucai to rush into the camp of thieves, so he drew his saber and continued to charge.

The former Wang Jun escaped and looked at the brothers who rushed in together, and with him was Ma Jinzhong, who had just become one of the henchmen of the leader of Xiucai within a few months of entering the cottage.

Although Ma Jinzhong's obstacle crossing training has not been fully practiced, his line gun skills are not bad. Now he is still armed with both weapons, constantly assassinating the thieves around him. On Ma Jinzhong's left, Xi Gui also used his saber to force back a thief's big sticker. Su He used a hand axe to chop off the head of a thief at the outermost edge.

And behind Wu Dayong and them, there were more than fifty cavalry from Jinding Mountain rushing in. One of the men surnamed Liao didn't seem to have such a tacit understanding because he had only been in the cavalry for a long time, and he could only eat ashes at the back of the cavalry. Because this was a surprise attack, they did not stick to the tight formation they had in the past.

"Su He, you lead people to rush back and forth in the open space over there, don't let the thieves find a chance to gather. Xigui, you lead people to block the road on the left, and as soon as people come over, you cut them all. The rest of the men followed me on, and over there was the tent of the leader of the thieves. ”

Hearing the words of the leader of Xiucai, everyone acted according to the order. Wu Dayong stared at the position of Xiucai's leader, and saw a person holding a big ring knife, escorted by several minions and running out. Wu Dayong guessed that this person must be a bandit leader, so he greeted him and rushed towards the target.

One of the minions next to the leader of the thieves stabbed him with a spear. Wu Dayong skillfully used the saber to set up the enemy's weapon, and at the same time drove the horse away a few steps, and cut a bloody wound on the opponent's stomach with a backhand. The unfortunate thief had all his intestines out of his stomach, and he could only scream and stuff them back in vain.

At this time, the leader of Xiucai also rushed over. With his well-crafted Yanling knife, he split the head of a roadblocker. The splatters of blood and brains scared the other thieves around them stupidly. But the leader of the thieves was not stupid, and kept running towards the pile of people in the distance.

However, in the end, the leader of the thieves still failed to escape the pursuit, and Ma Jinzhong arrived later. With the rifle in his hand, he crucified the enemy to the ground. The minions around them didn't have the courage to come up and fight back when they saw the leader dead. He could only throw away his weapons in embarrassment and flee with the rest of his people who had fallen into chaos.

At this time, Cai Zhongguang, the whirlwind team who came in from another direction, also led his subordinates to successfully kill another leader of the thieves. The entire camp of thieves completely lost their command, and the morale of the thieves who fell into chaos finally collapsed completely.

At this time, Cai Xiaozi and Guan Zhiqing, who led a large army to crush the entire bandit camp, sent people to send orders to their subordinates scattered all over the battlefield, asking them to make the thieves who had lost order around them choose to surrender as soon as possible.

In the end, the officers and soldiers did not quickly restore calm to the battlefield, but after a night of continuous pursuit, Tan Xiong's troops who surrounded Ansai City were finally annihilated. Tan Xiong was stabbed in the throat by Cai Zhongguang at the top of Artemisia. Gao Zizhi was nailed to the ground with a line gun by Ma Jinzhong under Zhang Mengcheng.

And when Cai Xiaozi led the army to launch a night attack, the defenders in Ansai City did not dare to take action. It was not until the morning of the second day, after everything was over, that they finally dared to come out to meet the officers and soldiers who had relieved the siege, and at the same time were ridiculed by the officers and soldiers outside the city.

After that, Dai Junen, who rushed to Ansai City with his troops, saw more than 530 heads offered by Cai Xiaozi and others, more than 60 captured thieves, and a large number of seized armor and equipment. The soldier on the West Road opened his mouth wide again, once again shocked by the combat effectiveness of his men. (Note 3)

It's just that Cai Xiaozi and the others don't think it's a big deal, and Tan Xiong's rabble that suddenly came out is too fragile. Compared with the previous Shenyikui rebels in Ningsai, Tan Xiong's combat effectiveness was not even comparable to a small detachment of the Ningsai rebels.

But others don't see it that way, after all, rebels like Shen Yikui are not common. Most of the mainland bandits who started a rebellion were already very fierce enemies in front of the common people.

After seeing Cai Xiaozi and the others quickly deal with the traitors, the rich families and people in Ansai City were very happy. In order to express their gratitude, they rewarded the officers and soldiers who came to relieve the siege with wine and meat.

PS: Note 1: The record used here is the fourth volume of the Huailing Liukou Records. In the ninety-first volume of the "National Legend", it is recorded that the person who Ansai is responsible for taking over is named Hu Chongyou.

Note 2: Everyone here should know who it is, Gao Yingxiang, a horse dealer who was born as a king, is indeed from Ansai.

Note 3: The number of captures and captures is taken from the record of the first leap month of the first volume of the Suikou Chronicle. In the ninety-first volume of the "National Legend", the record of Jiazi in the eleventh month of the leap is, "Wang Chengen and others Keansai beheaded five hundred and thirty-six levels and captured sixty-two people." "The time when Tan Xiong was defeated in this book was the day before Tan Xiong conquered Ansai for the first time in history, that is, he leveled Ansai's thieves more than a month in advance and avoided the fall of Ansai.
