Chapter 4 The flags are raised everywhere

Although Zhu Lang did not recognize the Japanese ninjutsu and did not know how to crack it, his martial arts were definitely not weak. Although he could not reach the innate realm, he was more than enough to obtain the acquired Great Perfection. So although he was caught off guard, he still nimblely dodged, pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and slashed it out quickly.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Lang slashed out with a fierce sword, and the black cloth should be divided into two immediately, but Fujiwara Kika disappeared. He could only slash in the empty space and almost fell to the ground. He heard a giggle and rushed in at an invisible high speed.

"Your Highness, your crime of gathering people to rebel is unforgivable. Your Fake Emperor asked us to send you back to the West. Go with peace of mind. Your father will go with you soon. Farewell!" Chen Yufang raised his sword and took Zhu Lang's head with an axe, and held it in his hand.

Wang Qingzi said angrily: "It's so cheap to kill him like this. I heard that this evil thief killed many women. They died so miserably, and some of them were even skinned. He should be treated the same way. Letting him die is simply a gift to him."

Chen Yufang smiled and said, "Now is not the time to take revenge on personal revenge. We must put the overall situation of the country first. His Majesty the Fake Emperor is still waiting for our good news. We must leave quickly and put his number one order on the city so that all soldiers will no longer resist. We will send troops to Raozhou early tomorrow morning!"

"The credit is mine!" Wang Qingzi hid the head and Feng also ran away. The remaining people laughed and chased after her.

After seeing the head, Yi Tusheng felt very comfortable. He ordered around the city and left it to Shang Kexi, saying, "Don't hesitate, leave 10,000 troops to defend the city, and all the rest will go to Raozhou. You must hurry up and take down this city before Zhu Ran rescues Raozhou. What we lack the most now is time."

Shang Kexi turned over and said sternly: "The bandits have no leader, and the last general must go down to this city, otherwise they will die under the city." After that, he took his men out of the city.

Yi Tusheng ordered Chu Shaoyang: "Take all the troops on the road and wait for the main road. In a few days, reinforcements will definitely arrive in Yuezhou. Come and fight one batch after another, try to consume his troops, and buy General Qin Liangyu for a few days. I guess she is about to arrive at her destination."

Qin Liangyu had indeed begun to take action at this moment, but it would take some time before the formal action, because her troubles were much greater than Yi Tusheng.

An army of tens of thousands of people was trapped in the mountains, biting mosquitoes and invading them by beasts and venomous snakes. After a long time, the heavy rain stopped and many mountain roads were washed away and blocked. The mountains and fields were gloomy and miserable, and the scene of doomsday was everywhere. If there was no strong infection and appeal, I was afraid that many soldiers would have escaped.

"Soldiers, military traveling army, open roads and fill bridges across mountains and rivers. This difficulty is nothing. You have worked hard these days, but if we give up now, the hard work these days will be in vain. As long as you persevere, when we arrive in Yuezhou and defeat the rebels, at that time, I will let you drink, eat meat and sleep well for a few days. How about it?!" Qin Liangyu himself was also exhausted, but he must be strong in front of the soldiers.

Because she usually leads troops strictly by example, the soldiers admire her very much, so as soon as she says that she receives response and agreement from many people. With Qin Liangyu's order, the soldiers began to build passageways, fill the bridges, open a small path, and head to Yuezhou at the foot of the mountain.

Yuezhou City is located thirty miles to the west, Junshan is the Yangtze River, five miles to the north, and thousands of miles to the south is Dongting Lake, which has been a place with a strong personal culture since ancient times. At present, the main force of the rebels led by Zhu Ran, the prince of Jiangxia, is concentrated in this area. If Qin Liangyu can defeat the rebels here, then Zhu Ran has two roads to go, one is to force the river to harass Henan, and the other is to retreat and go to Fujian. In short, with his current strong troops and the retreat paved behind him, he will not be defeated and fall into a desperate situation.

It should be ten days after Qin Liangyu actually came to Yuezhou City. Although his soldiers were brave and obedient, they also took a lot of effort. After all, they were mountain roads and had to be kept secret. The twists and turns and obstacles they had gone through were more difficult than Tang Monk's pursuit of the scriptures, which was not something ordinary people could imagine.

During these ten days, Zhu Ran had sent three reinforcements to regain Changde lost from Zhu Lang, and also sent reinforcements to Raozhou. Unfortunately, one day before his reinforcements arrived, Shang Kexi's army arrived early. Although he could not take down the city immediately, Shang Kexi adopted the strategy of "surrounding the point and attacking aid" and set up ambush in a dangerous area. With advanced weapons, Zhu Ran's army was defeated and finally had to retreat. As soon as they retreated, the defenders in the city could not resist. They fled, died, and finally opened the city to surrender.

As a result, the territory occupied by the originally huge Second Jingnan was only partially occupied by Hubei and Fujian and Guangzhou, and Hunan and Zhejiang had returned to the hands of the court. In less than half a month, nearly 400,000 rebels were either killed, fled or deported from their hometowns.

But Yi Tusheng knew that it was not yet time to celebrate the crowd. Because the main force of the rebels has not been shaken yet, and the King of Jiangxia Zhu Ran will never be destroyed. The rebels will be revived at any time, just like the Anshi Rebellion back then. As long as a trace of rebellion is left behind, the country will not be at peace and will be exhausted sooner or later. He is waiting for good news for Qin Liangyu and Zu Dashou. Once these two forces are active, he will send people to cut off Zhu Ran's passage to Fujian, and then concentrate hundreds of thousands of people to chase him and fight him back, leaving him without a place to die.

Qin Liangyu's army took advantage of the night to secretly walk out of Junshan, first stood firm, and then immediately started siege. She knew that the enemy's strength was almost ten times that of her. Even in such an emergency, it was impossible to win by forcibly siege the city, so this was just a display of strength.

Before siege, Qin Liangyu asked someone to set up huge zhaishan around the city gate. Each zhaishan could accommodate almost 100,000 to 150,000 troops, giving people a sense of a strong momentum of Mount Tai, as if the rebels had been surrounded by a group of millions of heroes from the court.

When Zhu Ran woke up from his sleep and suddenly found that Qin Liangyu's military flags were everywhere under the city, he suddenly felt a cold sweat. He almost ordered to break through the siege in impulse. However, when he was a little awake, he immediately gave up this idea, because Qin Liangyu did not attack from the four gates, and he still had many opportunities to escape, so he was not in a hurry.

Of course, Qin Liangyu could not launch an attack from the four sects together, because she did not have so many troops at all. If she forced herself to do so, she would only be self-destructing her shortcomings. It would be better to give Zhu Ran some room for imagination.
