After Wang Jiayin's death, his prime minister Wang Ziyong was elected as the leader of the rebel armies from all walks of life, and the alliance still has to be spoken with strength, especially when the alliance leader has no strength, the end will be even worse, not only can the alliance leader's false name not be kept, but it is difficult to say whether he can survive in the end. Of course, Wang Ziyong understands these truths. After the alliance meeting, on the one hand, he tried every means to encircle the rebel armies to contain each other, and at the same time did not forget to constantly strengthen his own strength. At this time, he really had to thank someone, and this person was Zhang Chu of the security army. Zhang Chu was not invited to the alliance conference due to his bad reputation, and few people treated him when he was cheeky to observe, and he was not a member of the alliance in the end. However, what he did did was a great favor for Wang Ziyong, first in Shaanxi Yanchang attracted tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and magically defeated the attack of the official army, and even Yang Jiamo, the general soldier of Gansu, was taken prisoner of the security army. Later, he went crazy and led people all the way to the south of Shanxi, and the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou led hundreds of thousands of officers and troops to chase down. At this time, the pressure on the rebel army in Shanxi was greatly reduced, and a great opportunity for development was ushered in, and everyone was recruiting troops to expand the ranks. At this time, Shanxi was also full of hungry people, people were not a problem, as long as there was food, people could be recruited at any time. The only thing that is in short supply is weapons.

At this time, Zhang Chu appeared in everyone's field of vision again, the official and military standard weapons were sold, and at the same time, there were more sophisticated swords produced by the security army, as long as you have money, you can sell them to you, Tong Su is not deceived and the price is fair. Many of the rebels bought weapons from the security forces to strengthen themselves.

In this kind of thing, Wang Ziyong will definitely not lag behind. He sent Wei Xue to contact the security army back and forth and purchased a large number of cold weapons. Wei Xue, as an important gift from Wang Jiayin to Wang for his own use, solved many problems for Wang for his own use. On the issue of purchasing weapons, Wang Ziyong decided to make full use of the relationship between Wei Xue and Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu once promised to sell the artillery to Wei Xue, and Wang Ziyong decided to get the artillery no matter what.

Wei Xue rushed to Zhongyang with Wang's own order, of course, and silver, but he didn't expect the trip to be very smooth, Zhu Jishi, who stayed in Zhongyang, was even better than Zhang Chu, and sold the artillery to Wei Xue after accepting the silver.

Wang Ziyong's confidence in these artillery pieces was greatly increased, and he immediately decided to lead the team to capture a county town, on the one hand, it showed his strength and was able to have more appeal in the rebel army. What's more, only in the county town did there be a large number of wealthy households, and a large amount of grain was stored, which was urgently needed by the rebel army. In order to buy weapons, Wang Ziyong took back all his private money, saying that he would make these weapons work and earn back the capital.

Wang's goal was first chosen in Qinxian County, Shanxi, an ancient historical city where people had lived for thousands of years, and naturally there were many wealthy people living in the city. In this chaos, many landlords from the countryside fled into the county seat of Qinxian County. They brought with them a lot of wealth, which greatly increased the number of wealthy people in Qin County.

In order to show his strength, and at the same time not wanting to share the wealth of the city with others, Wang Zi used this attack on Qinxian County to recruit other Lu Yi troops to participate.

Wang Ziyong led his headquarters to kill the county seat of Qinxian County, and the officials and soldiers in the city found that a large number of thieves attacked and immediately closed the city gate, and Wang's sneak attack plan failed. However, Wang Ziyong was not in a hurry, and ordered the county seat of Qinxian County to be surrounded by water, and the soldiers, officials and recruited villagers in the city all climbed to the top of the city, holding various weapons to prepare to defend against the attack of thieves.

The thieves generally rely on a large number of people to attack the city, and they rush over at once and use simple ladders and other siege equipment to desperately climb the city, and as long as the defensive strength in the city is enough, they can hold the city wall. In order to save his own life, the county commander of Qin County personally climbed to the top of the city and organized soldiers to defend. This is also a brave man among civil officials.

The besiegers of the city did not give the officers and soldiers in the city any respite, he did not stop and let the soldiers prepare the siege equipment, but pulled more than a dozen cannons bought from the security army to the east gate of Qin County, the soldiers quickly set up the artillery position, with the commander's order, more than a dozen artillery pieces fired together, the huge cannonballs flew over the city wall and fell into the city of Qinxian County, several houses were collapsed at that time, the people in the house hurriedly ran out to flee for their lives, and the whole city was a crying father and mother's voice.

The artillery commander was very annoyed that not a single shell from a dozen guns hit the city, which was really a shameful thing.

The artillery commander angrily kicked in the butt of an artillery soldier not far from him, and loudly ordered the soldiers to clean the gun chamber, reload, and prepare to start a new second round of shelling, although these guns were eliminated by the security army, but compared with the artillery of the same era, it can also be regarded as advanced, the artillery commander personally went over to adjust the muzzle of each gun, returned to the command position, and gave an order, the second round of shelling began again. This time the effect was much better, a few shells hit the city directly, and the officers and soldiers at the city head were still laughing at the thieves' poor artillery fighting skills just now, but they didn't expect the second round of shells to come. The heavy iron ball smashed against the masonry of the city wall, then bounced up and rushed into the crowd, and immediately the flesh and blood flew everywhere. The artillery of the rebel army constantly adjusted the artillery so that the shells could hit the city wall, and as the masonry splashed, the city wall loosened, and then a piece of masonry on the city wall was beaten and collapsed, and the artillery of the rebel army was deeply encouraged. The officers and soldiers at the head of the city also felt the breath of the end coming, but they had no choice but to hide on the city wall and tremble with the sound of cannons.

After continuous efforts, after a day of shelling, the walls of Qinxian County finally could not hold on and collapsed. The county commander always paid attention to the situation at the head of the city, and immediately ordered people to go over to prepare to repair the city wall, but the rebels did not give them time, and a large number of rebels let out a cry and rushed towards the gap in the city wall after the collapse. The rebel army gathered more and more, and the officers and soldiers could no longer support it. Someone took the lead and ran towards the city, and the action of one person immediately led to the whole of the officers and soldiers, and no matter how loud the county commander shouted, it was useless, more and more officers and soldiers fled for their lives, and the city wall was lost.

The rebels rushed into the city and opened the city gates, and the brigade of men and horses entered the city like a whirlwind, and the city was immediately full of fire, and the cry spread throughout the city, and the magistrate of Qin County was found as a prisoner by the rebels before he decided to commit suicide.

Wang Ziyong was very happy, he did not stop the rebels from burning and looting in the city, in his opinion these are very normal things.

This was the first county town captured by the rebels with artillery, and compared with the previous losses of driving the old and weak to climb the city in order to lay down a city, Wang Ziyong found that the money to buy artillery was still worth it.

After some looting in Qin County, Wang Ziyong got a large amount of grain and silver money, and looking at so many materials, Wang Ziyong turned his attention to other cities. (To be continued.) )
