Chapter 214: The prince attacks Pingxing Ridge

Xiao Yi gave an order, and one after another factories rose from the ground, and he was glad that the ochre mine and the coal mine could each find one in Peach Blossom Fort. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, both the Tujiagou Iron Mine and the Coal Yard need to be built and mined privately, and Xiao Yi did not make a big deal of it, and only the generals of Yong'an knew about it.

Although Zheng Zhong and Xiao Yi live in the same fort, he doesn't know anything about Xiao Yi's movements, but he can see that more people have been coming in and out of the Qianhu Official Hall recently, Zheng Zhong is also a smart person, and it is clear that Xiao Yi doesn't want him to know, so he doesn't bother to inquire.

After the construction of various factories is completed, they will recruit helpers, and the monthly salary is one penny of silver, and all the food is provided by the official family.

Immediately after that, the production of military uniforms, iron armor, tiger guns, and bird guns began, and the whole place was still busy, and the time soon came to August, and the autumn sowing was finally about to begin.

Peach Blossom Fort held an autumn sowing ceremony this time, and Xiao Yi, who served as the defensive officer, personally led the civil and military officials of all sizes into the Mintian to show his concern for the people of Tuntian.

On this day, Xiao Yi personally ploughed the land, pushed the old cattle, and competed with Shi Lu, Huang Yang, Wang Dayong, Shi Gang, and Liu Tong to plow the land.

A few people were tired and sweaty, but they were very cheerful.

Shi Gang shouted: "Niang Xipi, it's the adults who have won again!" ”

Liu Tong took a few deep breaths and sighed: "I originally thought I was a good plower, but compared with adults, it was a world of difference!" ”

The competition of Xiao Yi and others was a 'filthy' move in the eyes of civil officials, but in the eyes of the people, it was really for the sake of the people and close to the people.

Xiao Yi looked at the little girl in front of her, who was about seven or eight years old, and she held a scoop of clean water from the well and handed it to herself.

The surrounding people all looked at Xiao Yi expectantly, Xiao Yi smiled at the little girl, took the water scoop and drank it, the other people laughed happily when they saw it, and the little girl grinned and took the water scoop back from Xiao Yi's hand.

This matter reached the ears of Lord Nie Kegang, the commander of the East Road Army, although Nie Kegang was a literati, he did not disdain it after hearing it.

But he said with a slight smile: "This person is integrity, or the blessing of the people." ”

……

Not to mention the situation in various parts of Taohuabao, a team of people came to Yang Wuyu in Taiyuan Mansion at this time, and this team of people and horses was far from the end.

Above is a 'king' word flag, the first piece of dense crowd, they are all horsemen, all dressed in pure white armor, with a saber on their bodies, this is the old camp of the royal army led by Wang Zishun himself.

They gathered around the person in the front, and when they looked from a distance, they saw that he was wearing a pair of felt hats, two shiny war knives hanging from his waist, and he was wearing a pair of cloth and leather armor, and half of his face was covered with deep scars.

Behind him was the old battalion of horses, which numbered eight hundred, and behind the horses were the old battalion infantry and the wanderers gathered everywhere, adding up to several thousand people.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, Wang Zishun and Miao Mei were besieged by the governor Yang He in Hancheng, when the officers and soldiers were strong, Wang Zishun and Miao Mei surrendered when they saw the situation.

Until April, Qingjian Xusheng Li Panlong killed Miao Mei in Hejiawan, and Wang Zishun saw the opportunity, under the banner of revenge, and gathered Miao Mei's subordinates to rise in momentum.

The rebellion, the division of the army, the prestige of the prestige, and even the self-proclaimed 'one-word horizontal king', although there are some failures, but compared with the general trend, it is not worth mentioning.

At this time, Wang Zishun looked at Yang Wuyu, who still had some traces, his face was gloomy and ugly, he originally expected that there would not be many officers and soldiers in the rear, and he wanted his cousin to take the forward battalion to make some military achievements, and he would let him hold an important position in a grand manner.

But a few days ago, he actually got the news that made him angry, it was in this Yang Wuyu that the forward battalion led by his cousin Wang Zimeng was annihilated by all the officers and soldiers, except for Dong Kui and some horsemen, none of them escaped!

When Wang Zishun first heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears, the officers and soldiers were concentrated near Yansui, where are there still large groups of officers and soldiers in the rear, he thought that if he wanted to annihilate the forward battalion Judging from the current officers and soldiers, it would not work without four or five thousand people.

After the war, Yang Wuyu was extremely lonely, with dead trees and cracked land, and two large mountains in the distance, where there seemed to be a miserable cry.

Dong Kui looked at this scene and sighed: "There are only six hundred officers and soldiers!" ”

Dong Kui's news shocked him, Wang Zishun clenched his hands into fists at this time, and he gritted his teeth with hatred: "There are only six hundred people? Which officer and soldier did it! ”

Dong Kui remembered the tragic scene of that day, and still said with palpitations: "It's Xiao Yi, the defender of Peach Blossom Castle..."

Six hundred officers and soldiers annihilated his own forward battalion and attacked and killed his cousin, if this word spreads, the name of his prince Shun 'the king of the sky' will no longer be a deterrent, it will be a joke.

Therefore, a trip to Peach Blossom Fort is indispensable.

Xiao Yi has also become a knot in Wang Zishun's heart, if he can't break through Peach Blossom Fort and kill Xiao Yiyi, he will really have no face in front of all kinds of rebels!

At this time, Wang Zishun's subordinates were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all asked for battle, Wang Zishun groaned again and again, and immediately decided to attack Peach Blossom Fort after hearing that Xiao Yi only had 500 people left!

On August 1 of the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Zishun gathered people from all walks of life, totaling more than 10,000, and 20,000 attacked Chunxian County, and the officers and soldiers of Chunxian County were frightened and powerless to stop. On the second day, the general manager of Bai tied up several officials such as the county order and the chief bookkeeper in front of the door, and all of them surrendered to the thieves.

The thieves then plundered Chun County, destroyed houses, and added a few white homeless people, all the way to several castles and counties, until Pingxingling.

On August 15 of the third year of Chongzhen, the prince attacked Pingxingling.

Wang Han, who was the general of the Pingxingling garrison at that time, suddenly heard a loud noise outside the city one morning, and when he climbed the city tower, he found that there was already a dense peasant army outside the city.

Under the banner of the word 'king', they climbed the simple ladder under the leadership of the old battalion, and rushed towards the wall without fear of death.

Wang Han, the general of the garrison, led 500 officers and soldiers to fight to the death, fighting fiercely for a day and night, but there were many thieves. On the morning of the 16th, the thieves broke through the Pingxing Ridge, the general Wang Han was killed, the thieves burned the city, and then the soldiers plundered Datong, shaking far and near.

Cai Jiahe, the governor of Datong, learned that he sent an official document to the military garrison Nie Kegang, and Nie Kegang was also shocked when he heard the report, so he ordered the Lingqiu garrison to strictly guard everywhere to prevent the thief army from entering the territory of Ulzhou.

Wuzhai Fort, Cao Wenzhao led the Guanning cavalry to camp here, Cao Wenzhao entered Taiyuan Mansion and soon forgot about Xiao Yi, and only wanted to suppress the thief.

Until mid-August, Cao Wenzhao led the Guanning cavalry to fight hundreds of miles in Qilan, Baode, Ninghua, Wuzhou and other places, and defeated more than a dozen large and small Liukou and peasant armies.

But this is mostly a small fight, the largest of which is less than 2,000 people, most of them are only a few hundred, even though Cao Wenzhao is anxious, but he has always been unable to pursue the main force of the peasant army.

At this time, Xiao Yi's good news arrived, and Cao Wenzhao remembered that Xiao Yi's Yong'an Army was left behind, and he was amazed after carefully reading the good news.

He couldn't find it here, but Xiao Yi had already returned in a bloody battle in Yang Wuyu, and Xiao Yi used 600 people to annihilate more than 2,000 peasant troops, this big victory came suddenly, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Wenyao were shocked. (To be continued.) )
