On Xin Si (the second day of the lunar month), Huang Chao's army once again attacked Tongguan and transported many equipment and vehicles from the rear at any cost. Zhang Chengfan tried his best to resist. From Yin to Shen, Guanjun had no arrows to shoot at the Guanjun, so he threw stones at Huang Chao's army;

There were trenches outside Tongguan. Huang Chao's army drove away prisoners and civilians to wrap firewood and grass bales to rush into the trenches, and then dug soil on the chariot to follow closely. After a while, all three deep trenches in front of the ward were filled.

So, Huang Chao's army crossed the trenches and headed straight to the city to establish a camp. At night, they set fire to burn all the buildings. Zhang Chengfan then divided 800 soldiers and handed them over to the Wangshihui, and ordered him to refuse to guard the banned pit. When the Wangshihui led his army to the banned pit, Huang Chao's army had already passed.

On the morning of Renwu (third day of the lunar month), Huang Chao's army attacked Tongguan from both sides inside and outside. When all the Tang guards at the gates were dispersed, the royal army would commit suicide; Zhang Chengfan was wearing casual clothes and led the remaining soldiers to escape back to Chang'an, and walked to the wild fox spring. When he met the two thousand Fengtian reinforcements who arrived one after another, Zhang Chengfan beat their hands and stamped his feet and shouted: "You are late!"

So the Fengtian soldiers hurriedly returned to the capital and began to scatter halfway.

The troops from Boye Town and Fengxiang Town who arrived later arrived at Weiqiao and happened to be in the event of encountering the new Shence army recruited by the capital, all wearing new clothes and fur. They couldn't help but be very angry and said, "What are the contributions of these guys to wear such good clothes? We fought to the death and were froze and starved!" So they robbed the new army on the spot and fled in chaos, and then turned to Huang Chao's army as a guide and headed towards Chang'an.

Huang Chao led his army to attack Huazhou, and his subordinate Qiao Qian was guarded. The military governor was located in Tanghezhong (now Puzhou Town, Yongji County, Shanxi Province) in Puzhou (now Puzhou Town, Yongji County, Shanxi Province). The Du Yuhou Wang Chongrong raised an army to put down the Jiedu Li Du, and established himself as Jiedu, and then asked Huang Chao to surrender and retain his original position and his troops.

So on the fourth day of Guiwei (the fourth day of the lunar month), Emperor Xizong of Tang in Chang'an City issued another edict, intending to re-attach the Huang Chao's troops. However, in the Zheng County, Huazhou,

"What, I have conferred me as King of Dongping, Tianping, Taining, Yicheng, and the governor of the five towns of Pinglu; the young tutor of the prince, special promotion, and the country of Zhu. Is this what I think of as An Lushan, Shi Siming and others?..."

He was wearing golden armor and yellow Shanxi Huang Chao, under the circle of civil and military officials, looked at the Zhong Envoy Mu Haogu who came to announce the imperial edict with a trembling face, and then made fun of him loudly to the left and right.

"However, since I am determined to bring the sky to make up for the balance and punish the people, let this treasure in the world be sent to you polo kids for a few more days."

At the same time, the collapsed Shence New Army and Fengtian soldiers had fled into Chang'an City one after another; they began to rob the civilians of the city with weapons. At this time, the officials and officials retreated to the court. When they heard that the riots had entered Chang'an City, the ministers and officials couldn't help but scattered you outside the Yintai Gate, and each hid in separate ways.

Prime Minister Zheng Ting summoned the troupes of Danei and the remaining imperial guards of the Northern Ya to prepare for the enemy; however, no one responded, and the Jingzhao Yin Yang Zhizhi even abandoned his crown and fled. Only Zheng Yuangui, the commander of Zuo Jinwu Street, led hundreds of bad men, bad men and evil boys to meet up.

Then he decided to enter the Emperor Chengda Nei to meet the emperor, and on the other hand, he sent someone to hurried to the Zhongwu Army garrison outside the city to contact Yang Fuguang who was in charge to send troops into the city to maintain and suppress the situation. However, Zheng Ting was empty in the Hanliang Hall where the emperor was stationed.

At the same time, Tian Lingzi, who secretly sneaked back to Chang'an, also led 500 soldiers from Shence Army to protect Emperor Xizong of Tang who had changed clothes from Jinguang Gate. There were only four kings, including King Fu, King Mu, King Ze, King Shou, and several concubines around him, and followed the imperial carriage.

However, the people in the city, all the civil and military officials in the court, no one knew about the palace officials in the Great Palace and the emperor was not sure where the emperor was.

After Emperor Xizong of Tang left the capital, he ran day and night. Most of the followers and royal families could not keep up, but fell behind one after another, scattered all the way. After the news that Emperor Xizong of Tang was far away, the soldiers and the people of the market in Chang'an City rushed into the government office, and the royal treasury stole gold and silk.

At this time, Zheng Qiong, who was still trying to save the situation in the city, received another bad news. Yang Fuguang, the chief supervisor of the camp who had promised to lead his troops into the city, changed his course on the spot and left the camp and supplies, and led his troops westward to follow the traces of the Holy Divine.

"How could this happen? Eunuchs are ruining the country, and eunuchs are ruining the country!!1"

Zheng Ting, who felt that the sky was irreversible, suddenly seemed to have grown much older; he could only roar with pain at the left and right tears.

After venting his anger, he tried hard to endure the grief, anger and disappointment in his heart under the influence of reason, and ordered his horses from the Da Neiyuan Garden to collect the horses; he also summoned the families and troops in the city, and drove out of the Xuanwu Gate that no one had guarded.

"Old Tang, are we going to follow the Holy Divine?"

A driver asked here for advice

"No, I want to go to Fengtian to preside over the situation. There are still some troops stationed by Shen Ce camps in the garrison of the eight towns in the west of Jingxi. Maybe this can make a difference in the future."

Zheng Ting, who was so energetic at this moment, regained his tenacity and determination again, as if something was burning in his eyes.

.........

In Yuezhou, Zhou Huaian was also looking at several recent battle reports with mixed feelings.

First of all, Lei Man's troops, as a key strike, were attacked by firearms from waterwheelers and ships at the edge of Dongting Lake, and the entire army was in chaos on the spot; although after retreating more than ten miles from the lake, they quickly regained their strength and gained a foothold;

However, he was attacked and attacked by Liu Liumao, a general of the front row, and several battalions of Taiping Cavalry and Cavalry Battalions under his command. So morale collapsed again, and ducks were completely released between the water seeds in the plains of the Dongting Lake Basin.

The result was that the encirclement and annihilation battle that was expected to be carefully arranged, and it turned into a defeat battle and subsequent pursuit of light cavalry. As the key target, Lei Man, who was the key target, had a clear whereabouts, and it disturbed the battle of etiquette.

However, as a product of the chain reaction, Xiang Shu, the leader of the Shimen Man, who was burning on the north bank of Dongting Lake, and his seventeen-hole coalition forces, which were known as 50,000, began to retreat one after another.

Although the remedial nature of the navy gathered and cooperated with the local siege and garrisons that had not yet fallen, most of the Tumen and Barbarians, mainly Xiangzhu's headquarters, were able to withdraw from Yuezhou, leaving behind devastated places and scattered riots.

Then came the news from the southern side of the army that since Zhou Yue was killed in the army, civil strife and fighting between multiple forces occurred in Shaoyang, Shaozhou Prefecture City; therefore, under the leadership of the newly surrendered Min Xu and Deng Chune, the Second Cavalry Camp led by Zhao Yingong easily entered the city and occupied the key points.

After the subsequent partial divisions of several battalions arrived one after another, the situation in Shaoyang City was settled, and a new round of recruitment and prisoner screening and gentry trial began. According to the other party, as long as a few more garrison battalions were added, they could take out their hands to compete for Shaozhou and carry out more in-depth cleaning and suppression.

Well, with the resolution of the third Xiangxi route among the five enemy troops, Zhou Huaian wanted to try his best to try his ability to fight again and even personally command the plan to kill the enemy, so he was out of stock. He could only return to the ship obediently and continue to walk towards Jiangling with his central army guard forces.

However, during the sailing process, he received new news and changes; but the so-called Jingnan Jiedushi Song Hao attacked Guizhou, Xiazhou, Wanzhou and other places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. With the echo of local gentry and tyrants and the cooperation, he expelled and destroyed the local rebels nominally subordinate to Jiangling;

Then he sent deputy envoy Duan Yanmo to go south and cross the Lishui River, attacking the Lizhou area controlled by Xiangzhu, connecting Xia'an Township, Shimen and Cili counties. Only one state city, Liyang, was left because Xiangzhu's men rushed back in advance and suppressed and slaughtered the strange movements of the wealthy families and the wealthy families in the city, and was able to be preserved.
