"Last night Chinese New Year's Eve firecrackers were set off all over the city, and at night, the rebel thieves lit the forage in the city, and the city only thought it was a fire and didn't care, and transferred the nearest garrison to the city gate, and then the thieves who sneaked into the city in advance attacked the city gate, opened the city gate, and a large number of rebels outside the city took the opportunity to break into the city, roaring into chaos, setting fire everywhere, and attacking the county guard and barracks......"

"What?" Chen Mengren was shocked. "Nanle is too dead? What about the county soldiers? ”

Just a few days later, there was such a big basket and trouble, Chen Mengren was extremely angry.

"No, Taishou is not dead. There was a garrison in the county guard's mansion, and it was not broken by the rebels, but a handful of thieves broke into the county government and killed Nanle Lingge......"

"The county order was killed?"

When Chen Mengren heard the news, his face was completely solemn. The chaotic people attacked and killed the garrison, attacked the county government, and then killed the county order, which is already a formal rebellion, not a civil uprising!

"What about the losses of the soldiers?"

The thieves shouted to break the official army, and the spies sent by the villain to Nanle City did not dare to delay, so they took advantage of the chaos to go out of the city overnight and change horses outside the city, and then the news came. The specific situation will have to be explored. ”

Chen Mengren nodded, it would be good to get such news, which allowed him to react in the shortest possible time.

"Old cow!" He shouted.

"In!" The pro-guard soldier Hou replied with his fists clenched.

"Inform the left battalion that the march will be assembled in two quarters of an hour."

Niu Da responded and ran out to deliver the order. There has been such a big change in Nanlecheng, and the Hedong Army can't stay where it is. And at this time, we can advance to Nanle, stabilize the hearts of the local people, and at the same time, we can also gain the hearts of the people to the greatest extent.

"Send someone to Nanle again, continue to investigate, if there is any change, return immediately."

"No."

……

At this moment, it is on the town market twenty miles outside Nanle City. Li Guohua, Wang Ding, and Zhang Ke, the leaders of the thieves who Chen Mengren called a 'rebellion', were sitting together. "What's next?"

The three of them were accompanied by enchanting and delicate women, but these women looked frightened, but they were the big families who were broken in the turmoil in Nanle City and the family members of Nanle Ling. Even now, I can't escape the fate of being humiliated.

"Find a county seat, defend the city, and then send some men and horses to attack the Haojia Grange and transport its grain and grass into the city. Wait for the arrival of the King of Liang and the King of Dingyang. "Zhang Ke, the landing showman, still has two brains.

"Such as the old trick of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, accumulating grain and slowly becoming king. We just have nearly 1,000 people who came to vote during the day, and after the news comes out, there will be more people tomorrow. After a pause. Zhang Ke said again.

"How to deal with the officers and soldiers coming?" Li Guohua asked again.

"Officers and soldiers? Where did the officers and soldiers come from. How many soldiers are there in Nanle County? Eight thousand? Seven thousand? Six thousand? Less than 10,000 anyway. "As a border county, Nanle County at most nearly 30,000 soldiers, but Nanle on the last post Taishou is the king of Qi important ministers, in the King of Qi and Zhenguo Gongtian Shengbing after the civil war, that Taishou ordered 20,000 soldiers to march eastward, the soldiers were defeated and died, and the soldiers of Nanle County have collapsed.

"If we can have the current strength on the eve of the big day, Nanle City may be defeated." Zhang Ke is not the slightest worried about this. And, "Let's kill the county magistrates." What officers and soldiers are you afraid of? ”

"The officers and men really don't have to worry, and when they find out our strength, we will have a general momentum, and we can attack and retreat and defend. Within nearly 200 miles to the left. The only thing we should worry about is the Han army to the west. Didn't those old men say that King Tang ordered Zhu Biao and the Hedong Army to pacify the chaos. No matter how many people we have, it's not enough for the Hedong Army to see. Among the three, Wang Ding, who was the only one from the rivers and lakes, remained calm, and his eagle eyes raised slightly: "We can't afford to provoke us!" ”

"He's the Marshal of the North. What do you have to do with me? Then how did King Tang transfer him? Li Guohua said indignantly. As a member of the Tang Dynasty's camp, how could Qi not have the legend of Zhu Biao circulating?

Li Guohua's hundred county soldiers who looked down on Nanle County never dared to fight against the Hedong Army.

"Resolute. The soldiers are like gods, and they are as bold as tigers. The Hedong Army is a dragon, and we are ants, which cannot be compared, but can only be avoided. ”

"It is rumored that the Han army in the west is only Zhu Biao's forward, and the strength is not heavy. King Liang, King Dingyang, and Fengliyan have 200,000 rebels, and if they are clever, they may not be able to win. If we can eat the vanguard of the Hedong Army, it will not only increase our momentum, but also suppress Zhu Biao's prestige.

This person's reputation is too great, and ordinary people can't afford to resist when they hear him. He wants the army to come to our Qi country, and half of the situation can be settled in an instant. Where will there be a place for me to work together?

But if you eat the first blow, most of Zhu Biao's majesty will be extinguished. The princes of all parts of the territory of our Qi country will never be respectful to him again, and they dare not question him in the slightest. At that time, how chaotic should the Qi country be, how to fish in troubled waters, in order to have the opportunity to develop our generation! ”

"Brother Zhang is right."

"Let's do it. Contact King Liang immediately and they ......"

Chen Mengren never imagined that there would be a group of chaotic people who could not even be called a militia to fight his attention. More than 6,000 horsemen from the left battalion, who took the lead, braved the snow under the leadership of Captain Wang Guang.

At the same time, the three leaders of the rebel army, King Daliang, King Dingyang, and Fengliyan, who had stopped in the east of Nanle County, agreed to the proposal of Wang Ding, Li Guohua, and Zhang Ke. sent the small leader of the army, Huang Wen'an, to lead the troops to converge with the Nanleyi Army, and then attack Xiangcheng to make a big noise, so as to attract the attention of the Hedong Army. The three of them then led the main elite to encircle.

But most of their subordinates were chaotic people, and these people acted in chaos, and when Huang Wen'an joined forces with Li Guohua, Wang Ding, and Zhang Ke's troops, and then drove to Xiangcheng in the south of Nanle City, three full days had passed.

At this time, the left battalion iron cavalry led by Wang Guang had arrived in Nanle County.

On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a team of people set off from the county town of Nanle, braved the cold north wind and heavy snow, and marched towards Xiangcheng overnight.

The torches they held were like a river of stars on the earth, illuminating the silent night.

The weather was very cold and cold, and the wind and snow were blowing on the battle robes, and it was not long before a patch of white ice formed on the bodies of many people. However, even though the weather was very cold, no one in this army shivered from the cold. For the clothes on each of them, in addition to the armor, there were also thick cotton jackets, cotton trousers, and cotton robes.

There was no fear of war on the faces of each soldier, there was only a rush of excitement, and they longed for a decent battle as a test of their actual ability. to prove that even if they are recruits, they will not lose the face of the Hedong Army and will not fall into the prestige of the Hedong Army. It will not reduce the combat power of the Hedong Army!

With the scale of 170,000 people, coupled with the retirement of the former sergeants, the expansion of the army can be imagined to some extent. At present, half of the sergeants in the Hedong Army, regardless of the infantry and cavalry, are rookies who have never been on the battlefield, and they can only know the bloody and supreme glory of the war from the mouths of their predecessors.

But they are not afraid of the bloodshed of war, but only worship the supreme glory.

It's just because the Hedong Army has earned face for the Northern Han Dynasty.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year of the 11th year of Yuanwu, more than 20,000 rebel troops united together began to attack Xiangcheng. Three or four hundred people died that day. There are not many county soldiers in Xiangcheng, only one is not satisfied, and there are about 400 people. But the gentry and wealthy families in the city all contributed their strength, and they had the money to contribute. At once, he gathered a small 2,000 people to defend the city. With more than 400 county soldiers and 4 or 500 family guards, it is not surprising that the rebels outside the city cannot take it.

However, for the rebels, who can also be said to be rebellious people, the loss of these three or four hundred people did not affect their scale, and in just one day, thousands of people from ten miles and eight towns came to join them.

Moreover, the news brought was also favorable to them, and there were more or less civil unrest in the towns and villages around Xiangcheng, and many people were encouraged by them. Break into the big houses in the town to burn, kill and loot. These people have made enough noise in the countryside and towns, and they will definitely come to the county seat, and when the time comes, once they are collected and absorbed, it will be a big force.

Aoyama set. This is between Xiangcheng and Nanle County. The largest market in the distance.

Before the chaos of Qi State, it was a prosperous place, and it was nicknamed Xiao Nanxiang. After the civil strife in Qi, the market was greatly affected, but all in all, it was still a blessed place in Nanle County.

But now. After being taken by Zhang Ke with a plan to cooperate with the outside and the outside, the entire market was ransacked, and it has become a place where men and women are bullied and evil.

It's not that there really aren't good people in the rebels. There is no such thing as a good team that really seeks the lives of the common people. Rather, it is said that the good and the bad in the righteous army are uneven, hiding dirt and dirt, and at the beginning of many teams, the military discipline is really worrying. And some ruffians, hooligans, or gangsters and bullies, will be better, more comfortable, and more powerful than honest peasants and good people.

Outside the south gate of Qingshanji, more than ten people walked over unhurriedly.

"Who?" Seeing these more than ten approaching people, someone at the south gate shouted. At this time, it was getting late, the city gate was closed, and when they saw someone coming in from outside, the people at the city naturally raised their vigilance.

"It's such a big dog, I don't even know the master!"

There was a doubling of shouting and scolding from below, and the people at the head of the city did not retort angrily, but hurriedly raised their torches and looked down.

Sure enough, they saw a familiar and arrogant face below.

"Little ...... Sir! ”

This person is Wang Ding's personal disciple. The martial arts are good, at least among the Nanle Righteous Army.

The leader of the gate above apologized again and again, but he did not dare to open the gate, but put down the hanging basket, and the man below stepped into the hanging basket with a curse, and there were three other people with him. After a while, they were pulled up to the top of the city, and found that there were only seventeen or eighteen thieves in front of them, and the rest of them were hiding in a warm leeward place to eat and drink.

"Pull all the people out there up for me!" The man commanded with a big thorn.

The leader of the city did not dare to slack off, and immediately put down the hanging basket again, and in a short time, all twelve people came to the city wall.

"Master, what else do you have to order?"

"Commands? Naturally, there is, you are standing so far away from the master, do you think the master is quite unreasonable? ”

The leader secretly complained in his heart, this young man has a deep background. Although the leader of Wang Ding has the least 'troops' among the three leaders, he is the most powerful in combat. The master in front of him is not only quite unreasonable, he is simply unscrupulous. They are all already lawless traitors, and the master is even more lawless than them!

"What about you, why don't you go back?" The young master smiled and walked a few steps towards the leader, and then burst into trouble, and the knife was slashed. Although the leader was prepared, he thought that he would be scraped at most, how could he compare with the master, he was a person who had just begun to touch the knife, you must know that the front of this master was the elite of the Hedong Army!

With a click, the head fell to the ground.

"Ahh There was a round of exclamation and shock. No matter how bad this young man's temper is, he can't slash people with a knife at will, right? And it's the boss who kills. But what happened next made them feel terrified. Not only did the master move, but the people who came up with the master also did it, and in an instant, more than ten of them all slashed to the ground, and then rushed to the guys who were roasting the fire in the leeward place. A burst of slashing.

After this round of slashing, there are no more rebels in the city.

"Well done, report our casualties." The arrogant voice of the young master suddenly became loud, and the whole person seemed to be two or three inches taller, and the bones crackled.

It's like a different person, and the temperament is very different.

"Liangtou, no casualties!"

Liang Tou nodded with satisfaction, that's right. He and others are all elites in the army, and if there are casualties in killing these chaotic people, Di Fengtun will wipe his neck by himself. You don't have to show your face anymore.

"Open the gates and get the troops in."

The short fight at the head of the city also attracted the attention of some people, after all, these days, such fights are not rare in the town, some of them kill good, and some are infighting with each other, so although some people scolded and came to check, they didn't really take it seriously.

Just then, the gates opened. Outside the city, a fine horseman rode in.

The two leaders who had come to check on and dozens of rioters happened to meet at the main entrance of the market. Chopped down by them. At this time, the people in the bazaar began to realize that something was wrong. The rebels stationed near the city gate rushed out, and immediately became minced meat under the hooves of horses. Five hundred iron horsemen traveled all over the Qingshan Set.

And the difference between the rabble and the professional elite was also revealed in this battle. Those rebels don't say they don't have the courage. Even if there is, it will not be able to make up for the gap between the two sides in terms of actual combat capabilities.

Wang Guang led the large army into Qingshanji half an hour later. He asked the marquis who led the raid, "Are there any casualties?" ”

"Twenty-three minor injuries, three dead!"

"Is there any surplus in the market?"

"It has been searched and killed, and there is nothing left."

"Good. Your unit is immediately in formation. Guarding the prisoners, handing them over to the Nanle soldiers who arrived later, and then chasing after the large army. ”

"No."

The main force of the left battalion led by Wang Guang. The target Xiangcheng is advancing in a straight line and rushing away.

In one day in Nanle City, both manpower and horsepower have recovered to the best condition. The horses marched quickly, and as soon as the sky shone slightly, the irregular camp of the rebel army appeared in front of them.

At this time, Huang Wen'an, Zhang Ke and others didn't know that Qingshan Ji had been broken.

When the six thousand elite cavalry came to the front, whether it was Huang Wen'an, Zhang Ke, the mastermind of the Nanle Minbian, or Wang Ding, a well-known ranger in the border counties of Qi State, they all weakened their legs and trembled.

"Kill, kill, there are many of us, what are you afraid of, kill them, the entire Nanle's children are golden, you can choose to pick them up!"

Huang Wenan had seen some of the four sides, and he knew that something was wrong, so he immediately shouted loudly to boost the morale of his subordinates, but he couldn't help but shrink back.

"The Hedong Army is here, only the head of the evil will be punished, and those who surrender will not die!" At the same time, Wang Guang also roared loudly, unlike Huang Wen'an's lonely shout, no one responded, when he finished the last word, the six thousand elite horsemen behind him shouted angrily at the same time: "The Hedong army is here, only the head of the evil will be punished, and those who surrender will not die!" ”

Six thousand people shouted in unison, and when the rebels were panicking, the sound shook the clouds in the sky and dispersed, so that countless volunteers couldn't help but kneel on the ground and put down their weapons!

"Hedong Army...... It's Zhu Biao's Hedong Army! ”

Although Huang Wenan and the others were calculating the Hedong Army, when the Hedong Army came to them, not only the hearts of ordinary thieves were shaken, but even Huang Wenan and the other four leaders were all like dirt!

Wang Guang's spear pointed forward!

"Woo woo woo ......" the horn of the attack sounded.

"Kill!" Wang Guang immediately used himself as an arrow, and rushed towards the place where Huang Wen'an was.

"Click!"

It was as if the houses had been torn down, and the camp built by the rebels was divided in two by six thousand iron horsemen, and anyone who stood in their way would be immediately cut down if they could not retreat in time.

The six thousand iron cavalry was like an awl, fiercely plunging into the messy formation of the rebel army, and with the breakthrough as the center, it quickly tore open the gap and tore it even bigger.

Flying blood, crumbling bodies, dying groans, and bitter wails. Wherever the iron rider went, he left such a picture. Although the rebels were numerous, they gave the 6,000 Hedong elite cavalry a sudden mess, and in just a moment, they were killed in front of Huang Wen'an.

"Native chickens and dogs, come and die!" Wang Guang shouted wildly and assaulted again.

This assault made Wang Guang feel a little resistance. Because the people around Huang Wen'an are all his cronies, hundreds of people, desperately intercepting can also show some strength.

But the resistance is too weak and too weak. Not to mention the tragedy of fighting with Hu Qi on the grassland back then, even when fighting the Zhongshan army, Wang Guang also felt that it was much better than what he was looking at.

Huang Wen'an's face was like dirt, and he shrank back in fright. Wang Guang saw it and waved it, and the spear in his hand was thrown, but it only penetrated the war horse under Huang Wenan's crotch, and Huang Wenan fell on the horse's back and dodged. But then Wang Guang drew his knife and killed.

"Die!"

In a loud shout, the war horse rushed forward, and a knife light slashed over Huang Wen'an's body, Huang Wenan's whole person was split, his waist was broken into two, and his internal organs flowed to the ground with a bang.

Huang Wen'an's death made the already frightened rebels completely lose their sense of resistance. Countless people surrendered on their knees, and countless people scattered and fled.

In the chaos, Zhang Ke was captured by the surrendered rebels, and Li Guohua did not know who he died. Wang Ding's resistance led to the death of two Hedong cavalrymen, and in the end, the Hedong cavalry paid the price of three dead and five wounded, and completely annihilated Wang Ding and his gang.

The Nanle Rebellion was put down. The total number of casualties of the Hedong Army was less than 300, and the number of war dead was even less, so it was completely annihilated, which can be said to be a chaotic people, or 24,500 people of the righteous army. (To be continued)
