Not long after the Taishan army entered the city, there was a riot in Puyang City. The people of Puyang, who had been squeezed, were all hunting in groups of three or five Han foreign soldiers.

Puyang City has 4,000 Han soldiers and eight battalions. They are 1,000 soldiers of Cao Shao's county, 300 soldiers of the Baima Chenggong family, 200 soldiers of the Wei Guo Ji family, and 500 soldiers of the Puyang Tian family and many other families. Later, there were 300 Lihu soldiers, 500 white horse soldiers, 400 Yanxian soldiers, and 800 foreign sour jujube soldiers, a full 4,000 troops.

As for the 500 soldiers recruited by Cao Shao in the past two days, they dispersed in a hurry as early as when the Taishan army entered the city, and not only that, but also went home with the blades issued by the arsenal. Cao Shao's 1,000 county soldiers are similar, they are all from Puyang City, because Cao Shao's reasons are not less disliked by the people in the same place, if it weren't for this stable Shigao, they might not be able to do it.

Originally, when the moth thieves entered the city, they had to fight to block it. But they found that these moth thieves did not loot and set fire everywhere after entering the city, but acted in a very coordinated manner. After entering from the north gate, one set up the city head control drawbridge, a wave of rushing to kill the assembled Han soldiers, a wave of straight to the arsenal. Seeing this, the soldiers looked at each other, took off their uniforms, and went home.

However, the resistance of the soldiers of other families is particularly fierce, especially the Chenggong family, their family is from a martial arts family, and their own troops are bound by military law, and there are many people who are good at fighting. It was when the Taishan army cavalry rushed into the city first, it should be invincible, but in this Cheng Gong family even rushed twice, when the leading team will be Wang Dang a roar, the fifty cavalry under his command bypassed the Cheng Gong soldiers, and chased the scattered Han soldiers behind.

The commandos have already played their own tactical characteristics, and when they encounter a strong formation, they can rush when they can, and they can't go immediately, and they don't love to fight. for there were armor soldiers behind them to follow and settle them.

Sure enough, the soldiers of the Chenggong clan thought that they had repelled the thieves, and they all worked hard to fight bravely, but who knew that they ushered in a team of enemy armor soldiers, especially the leader of the leader, the warrior with a double halberd, and the strong armor of that person could not be tightened.

Poor Cheng Gong soldiers are also good at war, but what they met was Dian Wei. Dian Wei's best at this kind of fighting between square inches, he is already at the peak of a kind of technical warfare and courage, in less than a moment, Dian Wei and the armor have already killed the Cheng Gong soldiers, and its leader Cheng Gong Gao has also become another trophy of Dian Wei.

The soldiers of the Chenggong clan were brave, but that's it, and the other departments saw that Puyang could not be protected, and they broke out from the west and south gates. Among them, 800 sour jujube soldiers escorted Cao Shao straight to the west gate, and they were about to retreat to Yan County. It's a pity that Zhang Chong had already arranged an ambush all the way to the west, and Xie Bi and Li Damu had already moved here, waiting for the Han soldiers who fled to the west.

In the end, Cao Shao was captured, and the sour jujube soldiers also surrendered on their knees after a little resistance. Later, Xie Bi and Li Damu took Cao Shao's Taishou Fu Festival, changed into the uniform of the sour jujube soldiers, and easily defrauded Baima and Yan County, directly connecting the western region of Dongjun.

In fact, Dongjun has been unable to draw troops, and the 4,000 troops gathered in Puyang City are all the military strength of the Han Ting in the western part of Dongjun, but because of the fall of Puyang, they have all come to naught.

In the first battle of Puyang, the Taishan army counted. 600 soldiers of the northern army were beheaded, 400 prisoners were captured, 300 rivers were beheaded, and 700 prisoners were captured. Then the biggest gain was the Puyang soldiers, a total of 4,000 soldiers, no more than 400 were killed, 2,000 were captured, and another 1,000 people were scattered and disappeared. Then the three cities of Puyang, Baima and Yanxian were all occupied by the Taishan army, not by the Han Dynasty.

The great victory of the battle of Puyang quickly fermented in the surrounding areas, and more and more Taiping Dao armed forces and anti-Han forces came to Puyang and Zhang Chong's regimental camp, they either had a deep enmity with the blood of the Han Court, or the eyes of the Taishan army were boiling oil, in short, Zhang Chong took a look at Puyang, but there was a bit of a sea of rivers.

These days, Pan Da, the head of the Taiping Dao, the remnants of the White Horse, 600 people, directly defected to Xie Bi, who was stationed in the White Horse. Then there were the hundred thieves of Pingyang Pavilion, headed by Ling Gai. They were old bandits before, hunted for Dongjun, hid near Pingyang Pavilion, and saw that Xie Bi occupied the white horse, Ling Gai took the old brothers to defect. In addition, there are Taiping Dao, Liu Hai, and Liu Eight Brothers in Yan County, who have preserved the strength of the local Taiping Dao, with thousands of people, but there are too many old and weak. In addition, there were Wei Xiangyi people, Wei Xian, Wei Chang and others, who went straight to Puyang with the rioting 600 villagers. There are also thousands of volunteers from Wating and Taoxiang, who also came to Puyang under the leadership of Shi Nai to meet the general of the sky.

In this way, after the defeat of Puyang, the strength of the Taishan army swelled again, the original main force of 6,000 soldiers, after the war, the brave army defected to 4,000, and there were nearly 3,000 captured Han soldiers. It can also be seen from here that the anti-Han situation has intensified with the fermentation of two months, and there are more than a dozen large and small armed forces in the western part of the eastern county alone. And now that the Shouyi Father Taishan Army is here, and has lived up to expectations and defeated Puyang, then what is there to hesitate, take the whole family to eat him together!

Zhang Chong naturally did not refuse, and he wanted to set off a new round of breaking the strong and powerful in the western part of Dongjun in the future, and the more these alliances came, the better.

Zhang Chong understands a truth, as long as there are more friends and fewer enemies, things will go smoothly. On the contrary, no matter how capable you are, time will be wasted. These defected forces were naturally mixed, but Zhang Chong did not rely on these people to fight, but valued their manpower more, and they were inseparable from the Han court. With these, there are many things that they can help do.

For example, leading the way, connecting places.

The main body of the Taishan army are all people from Taishan, Jinan and other places, and basically have never been to Puyang. Originally, if there were no people from these places, it would have been almost difficult for the Taishan army to take root in the local area. If you are a foreigner, and the locals can't understand what you say, people won't support you.

Why did Zhang Chong keep attacking outside, and even let himself become a rogue to a certain extent? It's not that he doesn't know the drawbacks of the rogue, and in this battle of Puyang, its drawbacks are undoubtedly revealed, that is, there is no basis for support, and the army cannot fight positional warfare at all. For example, the consumption of arrows, the arrows they carried before the expedition had already been used up in previous wars. There are also all kinds of military baggage, which are bottomless when consumed, and it is very difficult to replenish these in the process of marching.

So why did Zhang Chong have to take the initiative to attack away from the base area? In addition to going west out of Aocang, instigating the two wings, and preserving the strength of Taiping Dao, another important reason is to absorb people from more places.

Originally, the main body of the Taishan army were people from Jinan, Taishan and other places, and the team was pure, and it could also be widely supported in the Taishan area. But if the Taishan Army wants to continue to develop, the original local color is too strong. In order for the group to rise from a local perspective to a global vision, there must be people from all over the world within the group. These people can provide real information about the place, and they can also go more smoothly in the guide.

But this still could not hide the disadvantages of the Liukou, because Zhang Chong obtained the best city of Puyang, and began to establish a base in this Heji Plain.

The Taishan army set out from Boxian in April and fought for two months, although it won a series of big victories, but in the end the veterans of the division were tired. All kinds of materials were also consumed, and although the soldiers were silent, the hardships of the march were not without it. Therefore, Zhang Chong also planned to repair here in Puyang, and began to establish the Heji base area.

First of all, it is necessary to establish a joint urban defense system in Puyang City. The original city defense is naturally complete, but there is only an internal city wall, and there are obvious loopholes on the outside, because there is only one outer stronghold in Heyangjin. Zhang Chong had already sent troops to occupy the city on the north bank of the river. In this way, the passage on the north bank of the river was temporarily blocked by the Taishan army. In the east, there are the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Dong'a, although they have some resistance to the Taishan Army, but they can still block the enemy in the east for themselves. And now that Zhang Chong has occupied Yancheng and Baima in the west, it can be said that the west also has a temporary defense.

The most important thing is to build fortifications in the south of the city, and form a tight in-depth city defense with Puyang City. Therefore, Zhang Chong decided to deploy the main forces in the strongholds outside the city, leaving 2,000 soldiers in the city, that is, Zhang Chong's headquarters.

Because of the guidance of the local Taiping Road in Puyang, Zhang Chong learned that there are six Li societies that can form fortifications from the south of Puyang to Pushui, namely the nearest Fushanli, Ping'an Li, Changshouli, Beishuili, Doushi Li, and Sanhuli.

Among them, Beishuili is the most southern, which can be the southern gateway of the entire city defense system, and then Fushanli and Sanhuli are close to Puyang City, which can be used as horns with Puyang. And Ping'anli, Changshouli, and Dou's Li are all in the middle, which can be used as a response.

On June 16, Zhang Chong ordered Ding Sheng, Li Bi, Yu Ban, Dian Wei, Gao Ya, Zhao Liang, and Zhu Ying to go to these six places to repair the barracks day and night. In addition, the various communities also built sandwich roads to serve as marching walls between them.

Zhang Chong is planning to take Puyang as the general rear, Beishui Village as the gateway, and the rest of the villages as the response, connected by a sandwich road, and mobile strategies to build the entire defense system, which can be said to be impregnable.

In terms of troop allocation, Zhang Chong also almost arranged most of the elite troops outside the city, such as the Dian Wei Department stationed in Beishui Village, and Li Bi, Yu Ban, and Ding Sheng stationed in Ping'anli, Changshouli, and Doushi a little later. Gao Ya, Zhao Liang, and Zhu Ying are stationed in Fushanli and Sanhuli, which are closest to Puyang, showing a pattern of heavy on the outside and light on the inside.

In addition, these six departments not only had to be stationed in the Liuli Society, but they also had to shoulder the responsibility of dividing the fields to the Lihu, dividing and disintegrating the local tyrants in the township, and establishing a field guard controlled by the Taishan Army. All in all, Zhang Chong did not want them to defend the walled city, but to rely on it and continue to extend their tentacles to the Pushui area. Let these people who have been allocated the land become the eyes and reserves of the Taishan army.

All in all, when another round of anti-Han upsurge was set off in the Puyang area, Yanzhou Mu Huangwan, who was stationed in Chenliufengqiu, was sad and miserable.
