At noon the next day, Zhou Huaian was already sitting on the city tower of Xiaowu Gate; while looking at the battle-torn inner city, one of the city gates had a green Taiping flag; while slowly tasting several local specialty foods.

Although there is no complete dietary system like the Fire Palace in ancient Changsha City this day, the local spicy flavor has begun to take shape; for example, just relying on dogwood, galangal and garlic, you can make spicy dipping and mixing dishes.

The rice wine and vinegar sauce are soaked in golden and transparent sea bass sashimi, and paired with spicy sunflower sauce, which is a kind of fresh and sweet old-fashioned flowing on the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue. There are also be bean skins with the strips of river shrimps that remove the head and tail, and the green and clear water shield soup and the yellow and crispy and sour and salty bamboo shoots that are suitable for the mouth; there are also the milk soup of the sauce taro and white boiled water turtle, the dried fried hand-pulled rabbit meat, and the honey-roasted yellow bird soup...

Finally, a small bottle of perilla and lilac was brewed for several years, and it tasted thick and mellow and glutinous sweet wine rippling between the teeth. Such delicious food was paired with the battle in the distant city, and the scene where blood, fire, dust, smoke and smoke were accompanied by the taste, and there was a meaning of destroying the morning food and a faint sense of style.

Peng Zan, the commander of the gate, was also a very tactful and cunning person. Not only did he see that the situation was not good, he opened the city gate and welcomed the Taiping Army, but he also gave up and personally led his people along the city wall to persuade the guards of the two other gates in the south of the city. He also used the reason of cheating to ask for help to deceive a gatekeeper in the east of the city who was a rebel confidant and a stubborn position.

Therefore, Zhou Huaian's subordinates actually achieved his basic requirement of not losing the night without much effort; and continued to work hard to join the purge war near the city gate. When it comes to the experience and tactics of night battles, Zhou Huaian believed that his Taiping Army under his command had never lost to others since he claimed to have become a powerful force.

Therefore, Zhu Cun had already asked himself to be the pioneer of the road overnight, and took the Taiping Army's jump, selected the front, and first climbed the surprise troops, and rushed into the inner city without hesitation. Along the way, he also crossed the streets and alleys to gather many other rebels who were disbanded, and sent them to Xiaowumen.

In addition, the remnants of other rebels with different banners were suppressed and surrendered among the towns and neighbors outside the city; there were about six or seven thousand people; now they were all concentrated outside the city to be detained and reorganized.

Therefore, now, in some places near the south and east of the city, groups of prisoners, defeated soldiers, or executed some Taiping soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to kill and set fire on the street, are restoring basic order in a state of calm and suffocating peace.

However, Tanzhou, which has been expanded and managed in the past dynasties, is a Jianghan city with a large population and a large size that is not much smaller than that of Canton; even if it is cleaned up and restored, it will not be possible to complete in a short time.

However, Zhou Huaian was a little confused about how to arrange and deal with Peng Zan, who was so sensible. At this time, a Yu Hou from the teaching team reported:

"Reported, General Zhu has already taken down three gates in the inner city, and the remaining thieves have retreated and fled into Yacheng to resist stubbornly..."

Zhou Huaian nodded slightly. Although Zhu Cun looked a little greedy for money at the beginning, he was at least able to seize the opportunity in the northern expedition and quickly climb to his current position. The corresponding skills and experience methods are also unambiguous.

In fact, according to his orders and corresponding strategies, now with enough advantages and superiority, the other rebels who are fighting in the city do not have to deliberately defend themselves against us; as long as they face the orders and calls of the Taiping Army, they still refuse to stop and pick up weapons to face each other, they will kill the unpardoned enemy on the spot.

Those who are willing to stop and discard weapons for on-site containment will be taken back outside the city gate to supervise, and then provide diet and hot water, and come to bandage and deal with trauma. In this case, most people will temporarily put aside their fear and tension, and obediently accept the next step of editing and screening, and ask for measures.

Then let them, such fish or survivors, identify and expose each other, and further understand the causes of the chaos in the city, and also incorporate potential unstable factors such as thorns and alien elements into these personal revenge, and those who missed and did not let go were centrally supervised. And there is no chance for people to secretly incite, incite, privately bewitch, and cause trouble.

After sorting out this piece by piece, as long as the steadily advancement and multi-faceted momentum is maintained step by step, without giving the other party any strange opportunity to take advantage of it, it will only be a matter of time before the chaos in Tanzhou City is settled.

......

In the government building outside Yacheng, Li Xiang, the left-wing general of Hengjiang Army, grinned and broke the two tailless short arrows inserted on the armor, and then carefully flattened the broken bit with a short dagger.

The strange rebels who suddenly came to the process were simply a group of madmen and strange and ruthless people; they basically couldn't communicate and reason well. If they had a disagreement or a few words without responding, they would immediately raise a shield and shoot with a crossbow and then talk; they would not give him any chance or room to deal with it.

Even if they want to gather people to ambush and stop them according to the terrain, in front of the crossbowmen, card formations and spears they are advancing along the street, they are like rolling stings. On the contrary, they are all very vigilant and stalwart.

Once there is any movement around, you will throw poisonous smoke balls from the cart that followed the center into the suspicious place, and then shoot with a crossbow for a while; then those ambushers who are smoked out of their hiding place or are caught on fire will be shot and killed on the spot by the prey that is shocked by the snake.

The ambush that lost the sudden and joint force in the encirclement naturally no longer became a decent ambush, but a head-on and fierce battle. Then, the soldiers against them would set up new barricades at the intersection every time they fought, and then replaced them with a new batch of new forces to continue advancing;

In such an alternating round battle, the Hengjiang soldiers who were just taking the opportunity to scrape the city were separated and divided one by one, making it difficult for them to echo and support each other; in the continuous street battles, they encircled and compressed the spare time they could move.

When he saw that the situation was not good and forced himself to emerge from the siege with his troops, there were only less than a hundred people left by his side. You should know that he was leading two full camp leaders, at least a thousand troops in Dongcheng.

And now almost everyone is injured, even he shot an arrow on his back and his arms. If it weren't for his simple mountain Wenjia, who was captured from the official army, was quite effective, he might have been shot down on the spot; instead of continuing to fight and struggling forward with his troops, he would have escaped without looking back.

At least he did not dare to pull out the arrow rashly before there was enough medicine and treatment methods; it would cause greater wounds and excessive blood loss, and even cause loss of strength and fainting. Before this, many new soldiers who had no corresponding experience lost their lives before they were treated.

After knowing that a legendary figure who joined the Rebel Army implemented the emergency method of needle and thread suture and fire trauma caused by him in the army, the corresponding mortality rate and subsequent probability of trauma recurrence fell like a dive.

"What is the saying of the military leader?.. It's impossible to let people hang here and waste it in vain."

He drank a little water that was easily found from nearby, and said in a hoarse voice.

"I have never seen the military leader, but Guo Xiaodu is temporarily in charge of the situation..."

The military officer said with a difficult face.

"He asked the general to continue to hold on for a while and wait for the opportunity. If there is any difficulty, he could ask for help from the Lanshan Army He Jun nearby..."

"What a bastard, can't my own people count on you anymore?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but change his color.

"Why would you let me wait for your own way... and let me clean up and follow me to the Yacheng to see Fenxiao."

Although he is not able to compete with the enemy's new forces for the time being, he still dares to fight for the old robes and other things.

.....

At the same time, on the top of the city, an envoy from He Huaizhong from Lanshan Army was also brought to Zhou Huaian.

"All the relationships in the city are He Junhou's proposals. My army leader is willing to turn wars with Xu's leader into jade..."

The person who came was a scholar who was a bit old-fashioned.

"Speak human...or get out."

Then he was interrupted impatiently by Zhou Huaian.

"My army leader..."

After the messenger's face turned pale after being choked, he still whispered under the watch of the generals who were stronger than others.

"I hope to worship the whole city of Tanzhou and the treasury, and only ask..."

"Don't you use what I already have at your fingertips for the price... It's better to see the real ones directly on the battlefield."

Zhou Huaian interrupted again disdainful.

"He Junzhu wished to deliver his years of accumulation and private savings, as well as envoys and documents sent by the court,"

The messenger quickly continued to snatch the voice, and then carefully looked at Zhou Huaian's face.

"I just want to open my door and let my Lanshan Army run away... I dare not ask for anything else."

"I think beautifully..."

At this time, Zhu Cun, who was beside him, said sternly as scheduled.

"He Junhou and He Huaizhong, the two dog friends, have killed so many of their own rebel brothers. Could it be that they wanted to escape so gently?"

"The meaning of General Zhu is mine..."

Then Zhou Huaian also took the final effort slowly.

"Unless you give enough sincerity, no one can spare it."

After the arrival of the man left helplessly as if he was lost, Zhu Cuncai said in some confusion:

"Old Xu, what are your constitutions and plans? Why can't I understand it?"

"Brother Zhu, would you believe me this time? I will definitely not let these guys who harm their own people take off easily."

Zhou Huaian smiled slightly.

"I believe, why don't you believe?. Those who don't believe you are all in trouble and suffer a lot of losses after suffering from the old man."

Zhu Cun said without hesitation, and then secretly thought in his heart that I was one of these people.

"That's good, let's watch the results later..."

Zhou Huaian nodded and said to Zuo Jinjin.
