Outside Yiyang City.

Hu Yanzhuo and Wang Yin have led 10,000 soldiers to prepare for the attack. Once the specified time is exceeded, they will attack the city immediately.

When there were still two quarters of an hour before the appointed time, the city gate slowly opened, and Chen Dahong led the surrendered rebel soldiers and ran towards them quickly, holding torches.

"General Huyan, they are here." Wang Yin said.

Hu Yanzhuo said: "This Chen Dahong is quite reliable. He said he could persuade them to surrender, and he actually persuaded them to surrender."

Wang Yin said: "Although this man is a stonemason, judging from his words and actions, he should also be a smart and talented person."

Hu Yanzhuo nodded slightly and said: "Let's see what happens to him in the future. If he can continue to work hard like this, he can be promoted."

"Well, the general is right." Wang Yin said in agreement.

While they were talking, Chen Dahong had already arrived in front of them with two thousand surrendered rebel soldiers and said: "General, all the brothers in the city are willing to surrender to the imperial court and join the imperial army to conquer Wang Qing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rebel soldiers following him immediately put down their weapons and knelt down and said: "We are willing to submit to the imperial court, and we hope that the general can accept us."

"Brothers, are you sincerely willing to submit to the imperial court?" Hu Yanzhuo asked.

"We sincerely want to submit to the imperial court, and there is absolutely no lie. If we are not sincere, we will be punished by God." The rebel soldiers said in unison.

"good."

Hu Yanzhuo said: "Since all brothers sincerely want to submit, then I will accept your submission. However, after you submit, you must not betray the imperial court again, let alone do evil and harm the people by relying on your status as a soldier of the imperial court.

, once we find out, we will severely punish you."

The rebel soldiers said: "We must remember what the general said, and we will never dare to do anything that violates the laws of the imperial court. If we do anything that violates the laws of the imperial court, we are willing to let the general handle it."

"Everyone, please get up." Hu Yanzhuo said.

"Thank you, General."

After all the rebel soldiers stood up, Hu Yanzhuo said: "Let's go into the city. Remember to step slowly and don't disturb the people."

"Yes." The soldiers responded.

Later, Hu Yanzhuo, Wang Yin, and Xu Fang led the soldiers into Yiyang City under the leadership of Chen Dahong and others.

Chen Dahong took them to the place where Mo Tan lived. Hu Yanzhuo said to Wang Yin: "General Wang, immediately send someone to post a notice to calm the people so that the people can see it when they get up early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll send someone to post it immediately."

Wang Yin took out the notice to calm the people and gave it to a hundred soldiers, asking them to post it immediately along the street.

Because the notices for peace of mind are formulaic and only need to write the name of the city, they had already written them when they came to Yiyang, and now they just send people to post them along the streets.

Early the next morning, the people got up and found that all the soldiers in the city had been replaced by Song troops. They were all surprised.

Because although they had noticed that a large army was entering the city last night, they all thought that reinforcements from Wang Qing's rebel army had arrived, so they hid in the room and did not dare to peek out. Only now did they know that it was the Song army that had entered the city. M.caset

"It's so strange. The imperial army didn't fight against Wang Qing's rebel army. How did they enter the city?"

"What I'm saying is that last night I thought reinforcements from Wang Qing's rebel army had arrived. They were so frightened that we didn't even dare to open the window and take a peek."

"Although it's a bit strange, those damn rebels were finally driven away, and we won't have to be bullied by them anymore."

"Don't be too happy now. Although the imperial army has driven away the rebels, Wang Qing's rebels will definitely not give up. They will definitely send troops back to seize them. If the imperial army cannot resist, we will still

They will continue to be bullied by the rebels."

"That's right. When Wang Qing's rebels came, the imperial army ran away without much resistance. There is no guarantee that it will continue like this this time."

"If something like this happens again this time, then I will leave Yiyang and stop being bullied by those rebels here."

Hu Yanzhuo, Wang Yinzheng led his soldiers on the street to check the reaction of the people. When he came here, he saw a group of people discussing in front of the notice of peace and security, so he stopped and listened to what they were saying. He happened to hear them say that if the imperial army could not hold on, they would

leave.

"Don't worry, fellow citizens. This time the imperial army has recaptured Yiyang City and will never let it fall into the hands of the rebels again. Everyone can live in peace of mind," Hu Yanzhuo said.

The group of common people standing in front of the notice heard someone talking behind them. They quickly turned around and saw that they were two generals from the imperial court. They quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Fellows and elders, you don't have to be like this, please get up quickly."

Hu Yanzhuo, Wang Yin quickly got off his horse and helped the people up, saying: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, the court has made up its mind this time. It will never withdraw its troops until Wang Qing's rebel army is completely wiped out, so you don't have to worry.

I will be bullied by the rebels again."

When the people saw that Hu Yanzhuo was so noble and so polite to them, they couldn't help but trust his words more and praised him again and again.

After parting ways with the people, Hu Yanzhuo and Wang Yin returned to where they were staying, and sent a person back to Wanzhou to report the situation and wait for further instructions.

Just when Hu Yanzhuo and the others captured Yiyang, Lin Chong, Dian and He Ji also arrived in Ruzhou with 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry.

A few days ago, Ruzhou garrison Zhang Shou personally led an army to rescue Wanzhou, but was ambushed and killed by 10,000 soldiers led by Wang Jin, Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Cunbao and Shi Jin. So now Ruzhou is led by deputy general Liu Xiongming and Wu Hong.

, Baizhen, Lu Jiang and Wang Cheng were guarded by four generals.

Liu Xiongming was a reckless and rough man. When he heard that the Song army was coming to attack Ruzhou, he wanted to destroy them before they could gain a firm foothold. Therefore, regardless of the dissuasion of General Lu Jiang, he took Wu Hong, Bai Zhen, Wang Chengji and others.

Fifteen thousand troops came out of the city to fight.

As a result, before the battle, Liu Xiongming and Wu Hong were picked by Lin Chong, Wang Cheng was killed by an axe, Bai Zhen was killed by He Ji, and more than 6,000 of the 15,000 rebel soldiers were killed.

The remaining rebel soldiers were defeated and fled back to Ruzhou. Seeing their retreat, Lu Jiang hurriedly asked someone to open the city gate to let them in. However, before all the soldiers had retreated into the city, Lin Chong and others had already arrived.

.

Lu Jiang hurriedly asked the soldiers to close the city gate, but because none of the rebel soldiers who were entering the city wanted to be locked outside to die, they tried their best to prevent them from closing the door.

At this time, Lin Chong and others had already arrived with their cavalry. The rebel soldiers guarding the city gate were so frightened that they did not bother to close the city gate anymore and turned around and ran away. Lin Chong and others then led their cavalry and rushed into the city.

The original total strength of Ruzhou was 40,000. Last time Zhang Shou took away 20,000, leaving 20,000 left in the city. But just now Liu Xiongming took away 15,000, and now there are only 5,000 left in the city.

, and they were all scattered on the four towers, unable to organize an effective counterattack at all. They were chased by Lin Chong and others and fled all over the city.

Seeing that the situation was over, Lu Jiang hurriedly mounted his horse and led part of the defeated troops to escape from the north gate. The rest who had not had time to escape were all captured by Lin Chong and others.

Afterwards, Lin Chong immediately asked the soldiers to post notices to calm the people, released the innocent people arrested by Zhang Shou and others from prison, and asked He Ji and He Ji to persuade the captured soldiers to surrender.

Then, he sent a soldier back to Wanzhou to report the news.

This side of Anchang City.

The guard general Yue Shunlong knew that the Song army had brought people to attack the city and could not hold on. Wang Jin sent people to attack twice. Not only did they fail to capture it, but hundreds of people were killed and injured. In the end, they had to temporarily set up camp and find another way.

After a two-day stalemate with the guard Yue Shunlong, Tan Ma came to report that a grain transport team was coming to the south gate of Anchang.

When Wang Jin heard that there was an opportunity, he immediately led his troops to rob the people of the grain transport team.

Then he asked Shi Jin to lead his soldiers to pretend to be members of the grain transportation team to deliver the grain to Anchang City. He used the official documents carried by the grain transportation team to trick the soldiers guarding the city gate into opening the city gate. Shi Jin led the people into the city and immediately took out the hidden treasure.

The weapons in the grain truck started fighting with the rebels. Wang Wang and Zhang Jian took the opportunity to lead their troops into the city.

Yue Shunlong was frightened out of his wits by this sudden turn of events, and hurriedly summoned rebel soldiers to resist.

Then, the rebel soldiers in Anchang City were frightened by the strong attack of the Song Army. They lost the courage to fight and fled one after another. No one listened to Yue Shunlong anymore.

Seeing that the situation was over, Yue Shunlong knew that he would have no chance if he did not escape, so he immediately prepared to escape with his soldiers, but at the crossroads he met Shi Jin who was chasing the rebel soldiers on the street.

Yue Shunlong fought with him for seven or eight rounds, and was killed by Shi Jin with a sword. When the soldiers around him saw that he was dead, they were so frightened that they lost the courage to resist, and they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

After an hour of clearing up, the anti-military soldiers in Anchang City died to death, some fled, and some were captured. The war finally ended.

Wang Jin asked the soldiers to post notices to calm the people, released the captured people, and then personally persuaded the captured prisoners to surrender, so that they all joined the imperial army.

Since then, Anchang City, which had been occupied by Wang Qing's rebels for two years, returned to the hands of the imperial court.

At the foot of Junzhou City, fifteen thousand soldiers led by Yang Zhi, Bai Qin and Jingde were calling for formation.

Due to Zhou Zhong and Wei Ao taking away most of the troops in the city two days ago, there are now only 10,000 troops left in the city. The guards of the four city gates and the patrols in the city have taken up five

Thousands of people, the remaining five thousand people simply cannot fight against Yang Zhi and the others.

Therefore, when Junzhou garrison general Yang Xi heard that Yang Zhi, Bai Qin, and Jingde led 15,000 troops to attack Junzhou, he ordered the city gates to be closed tightly and to wait for reinforcements.

Seeing that Yang Zhi closed the city gate and did not go out to fight, Yang Zhi had to order the soldiers to attack. However, the city tower was fully prepared, with rolling wood and stones, bows and arrows, boiling water, and hot oil constantly pouring down to greet them. Not only did the Song army fail to capture the city tower, but instead

More than seven hundred people died.

Seeing that such a forceful attack was not an option, Jingde immediately came up with a plan for Yang Zhi. He first led the army to retreat for more than a hundred miles, making Yang think that they had really withdrawn, reopened the city gates to let people in and out, and then sent

Some soldiers disguised themselves as common people and sneaked back into the city to act as internal countermeasures. Then Yang Zhi led his troops to fight back and cooperated with the soldiers who had already sneaked into the city to capture Junzhou City.

Yang Zhi felt that this strategy was good, so he followed it and led his troops to retreat for more than a hundred miles. When Yang Zhi saw that they had withdrawn, he reopened the city gate to let people in and out.

Then Yang Zhi sent Jingde to lead 500 soldiers disguised as civilians, and sneaked back into the city. After that, he suddenly led his troops back, cooperated with Jingde and others, broke through the north gate, and the whole army entered the city. After a fierce battle
