Zhao Erhe saw the Song army pressing these troops in front of him wave by wave, he was angry, and he jumped on the city and scolded, but he was helpless to take the official army. Pen? Interesting?

The soldiers saw Huang Yan's methods, and they didn't dare to do it, and now their only way out is to conquer Pengzhou City, otherwise, this guy surnamed Huang, even if they fill them all, I'm afraid they will not hesitate.

These soldiers braved the rain of arrows and stones on the city, and had to carry the ladder and rush towards the city wall, but the outlaws in the city were also completely desperate at this time, while braving the artillery stones thrown into the city outside the city, while playing with their lives to shoot arrows and stones at the soldiers under the city, throwing rolling wood and stones to prevent them from attacking the city.

It has been a fierce battle for a day, and both sides have paid a great price, but Huang Yan's main army can be said to have lost no losses, only hundreds of casualties.

Seeing that it was getting late, Huang Yan saw that there was no point in continuing to fight, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and withdraw those soldiers who had been put into the battlefield.

Huang Yan was worried that after this battle, the people would be impetuous, and they might flee in large numbers at night, so he increased the manpower to guard them and took back their weapons, but it was not difficult for them to eat and drink, and each of them also gave them a piece of horse meat, so that they could have a full meal, which more or less calmed their emotions.

That night, the two sides each truce for one night, and the next morning, Huang Yan once again ordered to start the siege of the city, so several times, constantly sending troops to attack the city of Pengzhou, and continued to use their return cannons, firing stone bullets to hit the city wall.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, a city wall in the east of the city finally could not hold on, and collapsed under the bombardment of huge stones.

What are you waiting for? Brothers of the Loyal Shun Army, rush in for me!

When Huang Yan saw the collapse of the city wall, he roared loudly, took his spear, and led the brothers of the loyal army who had been recuperating for a few days, and rushed towards Pengzhou City like a tide.

When the city wall fell, Zhao Erhe also knew that the general trend had gone, and he also received a very bad news, that is, Zhang Tong of Bazhou also sent a messenger to ask him to lead his troops to Bazhou to relieve the siege.

Zhao Erhe knew this time that all his hopes had been dashed, and the Song army was actually a three-way army marching together this time, attacking Bazhou, Dazhou, and Pengzhou together, Dazhou was finished, and his Pengzhou could also be said to be finished soon, only Bazhou was still in Zhang Tong's hands, and it was impossible for reinforcements to wait any longer.

After he concealed the news that Bazhou was also besieged, and saw the Song army coming like a tide, he once again made a great decision, that is, to anoint the soles of his feet, take a few of his closest cronies, and flee from the west of Pengzhou City with ropes down the city and into the surrounding mountains.

After a fierce street battle, Huang Yan finally cleared the thieves in Pengzhou City, and then looked at the current Pengzhou City, which was already a piece of rubble, and the houses in the city were also burned by them and the rebels, and Pengzhou City, which was not very big, became a ruin.

But no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the enemy commander Zhao Erhe, and after a good interrogation of the rebels who were lucky enough to be captured, Huang Yan knew that Zhao Erhe was once again smeared with oil on the soles of his feet when the city was broken, and he slipped away, and the angry Huang Yan blew his beard and glared, and even pulled those stubborn rebels out of Pengzhou City one by one, and cut them all off without saying a word.

So far, Pengzhou has also been recovered by the official army, but the Zhongshun army has also gained a notoriety of a ghost army in Sichuan this time, and even Huang Yan was given the nickname of Evil Tiger by people nearby.

Just when Huang Yan solved the Pengzhou rebels, the war in Bazhou was basically carried out, Zheng Bingjie was ordered to launch a fierce attack on Bazhou City, they concentrated all the throwing cars, and pressed the fire on the weakest city wall in the southeast corner of Bazhou City, and bombarded that section of the city wall with huge stones repeatedly, so that the city wall was full of stone craters, and no matter how strong the city wall was under such bombardment, it was also a little unable to hold on, and the inside and outside of the city wall were full of cracks.

Zhang Tong is now very embarrassed, on the one hand, he has to urge his subordinates to resist the siege of the Song army, and on the other hand, he has to guard against a possible rebellion at any time.

This officer and army subverted his impression of the officer army, this officer army is much more powerful than the officers and soldiers he has encountered before, and this officer and army has a very strong will to fight, as long as the enemy commander gives an order, they will attack without fear of death, and there is rarely a situation of escaping from the battle, and the fight is very resolute.

He now finally understands that he is actually a frog at the bottom of the well, too underestimating the strength of the officers and soldiers, under the command and leadership of Gao Huaiyuan outside the city, the enemy army not only attacked, but also constantly launched a psychological offensive, after a few days, the soldiers in his city have been detached, many people do not contribute to the work, no longer resist.

Even at night, some of the soldiers on the city wall, gangs of soldiers and generals descended from the city, escaped from Bazhou City, and surrendered to the Song army outside the city, and the Song army treated these soldiers very favorably, let them eat and drink well, and let them sit outside the city to watch the Song army attack the city, the result was that the next night, more soldiers would go out of the city and surrender, no matter how Zhang Tong contained, this momentum could not be controlled.

Zhang Tongxin knew that this time was over, and his glory could only end here, seeing that Bazhou City was hopeless to hold, and it was impossible for reinforcements to come, Zhang Tong made up his mind, and also followed the example of his subordinate Zhao Erzhi, took advantage of the night to lead a few personal soldiers, ran to the dock, got a fast boat, went downstream, and escaped from Bazhou City.

After discovering that the main general was missing, the rebels in Bazhou immediately gave up resistance, opened the city gates, announced their surrender, and begged the officers and soldiers to spare their lives.

Gao Huaiyuan naturally can't be the same as Huang Yan, he ordered to screen out the most heinous people in the enemy army, pick them out and behead them for public display, and the rest of those who were coerced basically exempted from their crimes, so that they each went home and did not make mistakes in the future, so that Gao Huaiyuan led the troops into Sichuan, and it took less than a month to completely suppress Zhang Tong's rebellion.

The only regret is that Zhang Tong was not captured in the battle of Bazhou and let him run away, but Gao Huaiyuan is not too worried, since this defeat, this guy should no longer have the ability to make any big waves.

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan conquered Bazhou, he ordered Zheng Wei, the envoy of Sichuan Province, to come to Bazhou to see him immediately, and he also immediately ordered to post notices in various prefectures, counties and townships in Sichuan, offering a reward for the arrest of the traitor Zhang Tong and a few of his subordinates who slipped through the net.

After Gao Huaiyuan laid down Bazhou City, he sat down and thought about it, originally these people were living well, there was food, drink and money, and he gave an order, served other people's iron rice bowls, and drove people to the distant Jingdong to suffer and suffer, no one would be happy, but some people were too bold to make such a military rebellion.

However, Gao Huaiyuan did not regret that his decision brought these military chaos to the Southern Song Dynasty as long as it was reform, he always had to pay some price, and the cost of such a price was much lower than that of facing the strong Mongolian army with a weak brigade in the future, so that the corpses were killed all over the field by the Mongolian Tartars.

So Gao Huaiyuan didn't regret it, and even snickered a little, because he also took this opportunity to get involved in the southwest border affairs that he was inconvenient to intervene in before, and he still came here in the name of Du Chengzhi, so he could do more.

Zheng Zheng finally blocked the attack of the rebels in Lizhou, and heard that the imperial court had sent Gao Huaiyuan to personally lead the army to quell the chaos, he was much more relieved, as a party leader, Gao Huaiyuan's name has long been like thunder for him, this person's previous deeds, through word of mouth, has now been rumored to be a fairy-like figure, as soon as he heard that Gao Huaiyuan personally led the troops to quell the chaos, Zheng Huaiyuan's high heart was a little more settled.

But then came more nervousness, because Zheng Zheng also knew that this time he was not good for quelling the rebellion, so that a small rebel army actually developed into such a large-scale military rebellion, and he, the Sichuan control envoy, could not escape the blame, he was very worried about what kind of punishment the imperial court would give him, whether he was demoted and dismissed or simply arrested and imprisoned and exiled to Qiongzhou?

So he had a nervous heart, waiting for news in Lizhou, and not long after, news came from Bazhou, telling him that Zhang Tong's rebellion had been completely suppressed by Gao Huaiyuan, and now Zhang Tong and a few of his subordinates had not yet been arrested, and were wanted.

Zheng Zheng forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, left Lizhou with a nervous mood, and rushed to Bazhou City two days later, and met Gao Huaiyuan in a slightly more decent mansion in Bazhou City.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't even go out of the door this time, so he sat in the hall and ordered with a cold face: Spread Zheng to report the door and enter!

So immediately, a personal guard passed his words out loud: Lord Cheng has an order, so that Zheng Zheng will report to the door and enter!

Zheng Hou was waiting in front of the door to summon Zheng Zheng and other officials, after hearing this, they were all shocked, this report to enter the door is not a respectful invitation, to put it bluntly, it can be said to be an insult to the visitor, that is, let the visitor report his name all the way, in order to enter, Zheng Zheng is also a member of the imperial court, and this surname Gao actually made him report the door to enter, it can be seen that for Zheng Zheng, this surname Gao did not pay attention to it at all, this is to deliberately embarrass Zheng Zheng!
