After Lu Zhiyong and the others divided their troops, Bai Heng, the general of the defenders in the city, was shocked, in fact, he had already discovered the army of Xiang Luyang and others, and he had not closed the city gate, just waiting for Lu Zhiyong and others.

According to common sense, a general defending the city, seeing a large number of enemy troops, will definitely close the city gate as soon as possible, even if there are his own people under the city, it is not wrong for him to do this, but now the people under the city are sent by the imperial court, and they are a small county garrison, and they can't afford to offend people at all, if these people are locked out.

Even if the city is saved, his head will be saved, who is calling people to be the celebrities around Lord Zhu now!

Bai Heng ordered people to close the city gate, and at the same time ordered people to release arrows to the city, and at the same time, let the people around him start the winch, wanting to raise the suspension bridge on the moat, although at this time the arrows had no effect, but Bai Heng still wanted to find psychological comfort.

The soldiers at the city gate, after hearing the order to close the gate, were about to start closing the city gate, but the city gate more than two zhang high, not to say that it could be closed, when they pushed the city gate, the rebel army had already come to the moat.

The creaking sound made when the winch rotated reached Xiang Luyang's ears, Xiang Luyang knew that if he didn't make a move, today's attack might be in vain, so he snatched a glaive knife from the deputy general next to him, and Xiang Luyang directly urged the horse to step forward and cut off the iron chain on the right side of the suspension bridge.

Seeing Xiang Luyang rushing forward to cut the chains, Hu Jinquan also did the same, and cut off the chains on the left, losing the traction of the chains, just raised the suspension bridge more than a foot high, and fell to the ground again, without the slightest pause, Xiang Luyang and Hu Jinquan, two war horses, rushed directly through the city gate, and after cutting down the soldiers who were about to close the door, the rebel brigade finally rushed into the county seat of Changzi County.

At this time, Bai Heng on the city wall had already slipped down from the battlement at the corner of the wall, and directly rode his horse to the county government to report the news.

After the rebel army entered the city, Xiang Luyang did not rush to the county office, but after cleaning up the remnants of the enemy on the city wall, he announced the discipline after entering the city.

First, after entering the city, all people must not harass ordinary people and must not damage their property at will.

Second, those who give up resistance, whether military or civilian, are not allowed to attack again.

Third, all those who resist stubbornly, regardless of men, women, children, and children, will be killed.

Fourthly, no one is allowed to act alone without an order, and the action must be in a squad, and if any member of the squad makes a mistake, the whole squad will be beheaded.

The people of Zichang County, although they had heard that the rebel army in Ansai had made a lot of trouble recently, but they didn't expect to attack the county seat so quickly, so everyone closed their doors and closed their doors, and everyone hid at home and didn't dare to come out.

When Bai Heng ran back to the county office, Xing Jiamu and the others had already heard about the south gate, and they were packing up their things at this time, preparing to escape from the north gate.

After Bai Heng, Xing Jiamu and the others converged, Xing Jiamu said: "How many rebels have come, and is there a chance to defend this county now?" ”

Bai Heng said: "The rebels have come at least 30,000 people this time, and now that the south gate has been lost, I am afraid it is impossible to hold this city." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Since it is hopeless to defend the city, then you can also go out of the city with us, we will go from the north gate, before they are surrounded, rush out first, and then go straight to Tunliu County." ”

At this time, the county government has become a mess of porridge, and the officials have begun to rob the property in the county government, and they have no time to take care of those things outside their bodies, these people took Liu Cang's family and rushed towards the north gate.

Although it was an escape, Xing Jiamu's team was still quite spectacular, with more than 200 dead soldiers, more than 100 Jinyi guards, and more than 300 people in this line, all of them riding fast horses and running wildly on the street unscrupulously.

After Lu Zhiyong went around to the east gate, he learned from the people who escaped from the city that the south gate had been lost, and he didn't make any stops, so Lu Zhiyong rushed towards the north gate, he knew that if Xing Jiamu and others knew that the south gate was lost, the most likely thing was to flee from the north gate, so he planned to go there to pick up Xing Jiamu.

Gao Hansong's situation was similar to his, and he also went around from the west gate to the north gate, and after meeting with Lu Zhiyong, the two briefly exchanged their respective information, and then sent someone to enter from the north gate to find out where Xing Jiamu and the others were.

After Xing Jiamu and the others met with Lu Zhiyong, they saw that Lu Zhiyong and Gao Hansong were there, and they didn't blame them, because this incident was basically an emergency, and it was not something that the two of them could control.

After learning the news that Pang Qinghu had been killed, Xing Jiamu expressed his regret, and then commanded the people to retreat in the direction of Tunliu.

Tunliu County is only a few dozen miles away from Zichang County, and this horse team, as long as one charge, can reach Tunliu within an hour.

The reason why Xiang Luyang was not in a hurry to go to the county government was because he knew that as long as there was a mess at the south gate, Xing Jiamu and the others would definitely escape, even if he could catch up with them, it would be difficult to guarantee that Lu Tianming would not appear again and stop him again, so Xiang Luyang simply occupied the county seat first, and as for Xing Jiamu and others, they could only wait for the opportunity to talk about it later.

Starting from the south gate, the army gradually advanced into the city, and all the links that were prone to mistakes were all garrisoned, and while advancing, Hu Jinquan ordered someone to bring Xiang Luyang into the city is four orders, shouted loudly, and informed the residents of Changzi County.

After hearing Xiang Luyang's order, the officers and soldiers defending the city gave up resistance and chose to raise their hands to surrender, and Xiang Luyang only took an hour to occupy the county.

After coming to the county office, Xiang Luyang ordered people to post the notice of Anmin in the city, and ordered people to forcibly knock on the doors of various businesses and let them open their doors for business, so as to restore the normal life of Changzi County.

An hour had passed, and the brave inhabitants had already taken to the streets, and when they saw what had happened, and seeing that the rebels had indeed committed no crimes as the notice had said, all of them began to run to tell each other, and the life of the eldest son county had returned to its former appearance in just two hours.

After gathering all the officials and soldiers and the families of the officials who fled, Xiang Luyang said to them: "We are a rebel army, we were oppressed by the imperial court to the point that we could not survive, so we rose up to resist, ours are all from a bitter background, the purpose of our uprising is to eat, not to kill, now you want to stay, you can go back to your home directly, and if you don't want to stay, you can go out of the city now." ”

"If a soldier wants to defect, he can sign up for the rebel army now, and if he doesn't want to join the rebel army, you can leave now, but you are not allowed to stay in Changzi County."

After arranging everything, it was already dusk, and after asking Hu Jinquan to arrange for someone to return to Ansai to report the news, Xiang Luyang began to arrange it overnight, and the city defense of Changzi County came.
