"Pass my order and march in the direction of Tongchuan County!" After receiving the news that Tongchuan County had blocked the city gate, Zhou Ping didn't care and directly ordered the rebel army to advance.

Zhou Ping remembered that he surrendered to Yang Qi at the beginning, just to get some life-saving food, so to speak, if he surrendered to him at that time, he just wanted to get some food, and didn't think much about anything else.

However, in the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year, and he has been following Yang Qi to resist the tyranny of the empire, and now he is also a general, the right-hand man of the handsome.

Now the momentum of the rebel army is not the same as before, Zhou Ping controls almost half of the elite of the rebel army, and now he enjoys this kind of life, feels that such an exciting life is what he needs, and enjoys indulging in this state very much.

He is Yang Qi's descendant, and he knows that he must always support him, even unconditionally, and express his loyalty to Yang Qi at every opportunity.

With such thoughts, Zhou Ping was not a timid person, but was extremely excited, and took the initiative to invite Ying to the battlefield and charge for Yang Qi.

If this Tongchuan County wants to take it hard, it is very easy for the strength of this guard, 5,500 people. What's more, the rebel army has such a siege weapon as a return artillery, and it is not difficult for a general like him to capture the county in one go.

But he was deeply fascinated by the atmosphere of the battlefield, and involuntarily walked towards Yang Qi to show his determination.

Of course, Yang Qi also knew his current state, and when he saw him stand up, he immediately agreed.

The vanguard of the rebel army under the command of Zhou Ping entered the Weixin City fifty kilometers in this way.

However, as Yang Qi's confidant and favorite general, Yang Qi specially sent a personal guard of 200 horsemen.

After half a day's march, the army entered the territory of Tongchuan County, and the towns and villages it passed through were no longer many, but when they entered the territory of Tongchuan County, they had fierce clashes with the officers and soldiers stationed in the local dock forts, and also encountered several groups of scouts.

After killing a few people and arresting and interrogating them, he learned that the rebel army was attacking, thinking that the dispersion of troops was not enough to resist the rebels, so he simply concentrated all the troops and material resources in the marginal areas in Tongchuan County, and used Tongchuan County as a major barrier to try to block the advance of the rebel army in turn.

When Zhou Ping heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, just a small county town, he wanted to resist this mighty army, how could this seem like a joke.

"Let's find out how many defenders there are in Tongchuan County now." Zhou Ping asked.

Standing next to him was the inquisitor, using extraordinary means to pry out the news from the mouths of the captured enemy soldiers.

"General, in the county town ahead, there are only two thousand defenders!" After the captain of the execution got the information, he said back to Zhou Ping.

"Two battalions of troops?" When Zhou Ping heard this, he suddenly sneered a few times, how could he not guess the plans of the officers and soldiers?

"It seems that what is said to be a barrier here is just a bluff, presumably it is to use this county to estimate the strength of our army, but our army is upright, that is, to destroy the front in Zhengrui, the marshal sent me to fight, which is also the meaning, since this is the case, there is no need to hesitate, this county is in the way, just open it and attack it!"

"Pass my order, put the bow and arrow first, take the letter of persuasion together, give a reply within an hour, and at the same time surround the Chuankou County, return the cannon assembly, and prepare for battle!"

"Yes, General!" A platoon of archers stood under the city, and with a call and hundreds of letters of surrender, they were fired into the city under several shots.

Zhou Ping sat on his horse and looked at the county seat from afar.

At this time, 5,500 men, plus 200 cavalry, and an engineering battalion, were all lined up outside the county seat, waiting for the county seat's reply.

One hour is the time to return to the carriage return assembly, which does not waste any time at all.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and a gust of wind blew outside the city, blowing the big banner hunting, and 5,500 people, all elite veterans of the rebel army, the army was in a strict formation, and the murderous spirit was pressing.

As the sun shifted, under the bright banners, there were densely packed rebel soldiers with stubbornness.

The army is boundless if it exceeds 10,000, even if there is only an army of 5,500 people, it is connected from end to end, and there is no end in sight, which makes people fearful, of course, what frightens Wang Yan the most is that in this hour, the anti-thief phalanx does not move at all, this is already a strong army.

Wang Yan stood on the city tower and looked at it from afar, and saw a huge banner with the word "Zhou" on it, he was sure that this was the banner of Zhou Ping, one of the generals of the anti-thieves.

Unexpectedly, in the first battle, for the sake of a county, the thief sent Zhou Ping, a traitor.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Ping was also staring at the county seat, and there were also soldiers and generals on it.

When Chaoyang arrived at a certain time, Zhou Ping looked at the county seat, his eyes lit up with anger, and he said with a sneer: "I, Zhou Ping, have never been defeated so far, and this small city dares to stop the elite soldiers of the big handsome!" When the other rebel generals heard this, they all looked at each other and smiled, and their morale was high.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The drums sounded, and 5,500 people, except for the Chinese army, slowly stepped forward, and the murderous aura filled the entire battlefield.

The drums of war beat, the army marched forward in rhythm, and after a while, the county seat was getting closer and closer, and the imperial officers and soldiers in the city were clearly visible, and many of the archers of the official army were holding hard bows, ready to shoot.

At two hundred paces, the war drums stopped, which was outside the range, in order not to suffer from the first round of firing, which affected the morale of the large army.

At this time, Zhou Ping rode out, tall and strong, with a black cloak on his body, a deep face, and no anger, obviously entering the state of a general, and then shouted: "Go back to the cannon and pull forward!" ”

At this time, the two return cannons, slowly and steadily, entered a place 200 steps away from the county seat.

Zhou Ping ordered: "Ready!" The return gun carriage slowly loaded the boulder, while five hundred men guarded the two return guns.

"Smash a gap for me!" Zhou Ping said coldly.

"Order!" Hearing the order, hundreds of soldiers exerted their strength together, and the cannon roared back to a boulder, and with a "boom" sound, it turned into an arc in the air and smashed it directly.

At this time, the soldiers who operated the return artillery, after many actual battles, were no longer the original novices, and they were panicked, and now they are proficient in the operation of the return artillery.

Just listen to the sound of "boom", and the boulder will accurately fall on the city wall" This loud sound, like spring thunder, the entire city wall shook a large piece of sediment and flew up.

"A crack has been smashed!" People who were far away from where they had been hit, screamed.

Wang Yan's face turned pale suddenly, although he had long heard that the thieves had made a large stone throwing machine, but he didn't expect that the power was so amazing, there were no living people in the place where it was smashed, only a bloodstain remained.

"Put it again!"

"Boom!" , Another series of earth-shaking loud noises, two boulders, one smashed near the original city wall, the dust flew at the same time, the original crack increased and the gravel fell on the county city wall, and a big gap suddenly appeared.

One fell a little farther away, fell to a tall building, and suddenly in the dust and rubble in the sky, the tall building fell down violently.

Seeing how easily the stone thrower destroyed the building, the more than 5,500 rebel soldiers cheered in unison, which was deafening.
