In another farther shed in this winter wheat field, the ones who took the initiative to surround Yang Shigu, the exclusive internal consultant of the Grand Governor, were the new and old subordinates who were once part of the rebel army. They each listened to his teachings with vague envy and admiration:

"The Grand Governor once sent a message to Yu, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility he will be! This is really good, the truth of the awakening of the great way...."

"Since the chaos in the world, there may be many knowledgeable people and discerning people in this world who are deeply confused about their corruption; but what is lacking is the choice of reforming the old and new, who can spare me the life and wealth of my life, and take on the future and future of the whole world?"

"Little do you know that it is the aristocratic families who have stole the high positions and power, who have been thinking about how to gather and exploit the people's fat from generation to generation, and have been sucking blood and marrow on the common people, so as to continue it for generations; but they never think about how to reward and feed back to this world. That is why the whole world becomes such an outrageous appearance."

"Therefore, the Grand Commander came out in accordance with the power and the mission of the Taiping Army. Isn't it just to follow the heavens and respond to the times, to obey the people and punish the crimes, and to eliminate all the five traitors of the aristocratic families, families, officials, vassal states, and wealthy families in the world, and to call for a great peace in the world... This is the true meaning of peace."

As for the adjacent sheds, Wang Chongyin, the commander of Xuanzhou defense, who was already gray-bearded, was also reminding him of his nephews:

"I saw that you were all going to let things go, so I wouldn't avoid some words. But it was just some of my personal experiences and feelings, but I don't think what I said was not nice."

"Now, the soldiers made by the General Administration's unified training and practice methods are the texture and body of an army, which determines the bottom line of the combat power and morale of this army... Therefore, the soldiers of our army are able to fight sturdyly when facing the enemy, and always stand out among all the rebels."

"The generals and schools who follow the military camp/night school, as well as the short-term training/crash class are the backbone and framework of the army, which can be compared with the muscles and bones of the people; and determine the degree to which the corresponding military combat strength and morale can be maintained and exerted for a long time... It is because the Taiping soldiers are strict in their orders, and they are advanced and retreating, and do not lose their control for a temporary victory or defeat."

"As for the generals and officials in the camp, they are the mind and heads of an army, and they also represent the effectiveness and use of the corresponding army, and the greatest room for making achievements... From then on, the Governor's Office can calmly use the elite troops to level the fields in all directions, move and fight in the steep mountains and rivers, in adversity, hardships and dangers, but never complacent."

"If you want to obtain the corresponding future and achievements, you must use this as a timely self-reflection and start-up to face difficulties step by step, and experience and temper it steadily. Don't think about the deviant methods of taking shortcuts and making good progress in a good way..."

"The Grand Governor's Office now has the momentum of enterprising and ambition to sweep the world, so naturally there are many opportunities to show and achieve success. Therefore, the skills and contributions that have been accumulated are the foundation of our persistent self-esteem."

At the same time, in Xiangyang City, a small pendant calamus accompanied by a female companion also came to a garden that was temporarily used as a museum.

According to the meaning of the Empress Cao of the Xin Dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty, several groups of thousands of dowry and servants from Chang'an were successively seated. After preliminary identification and diversion, the remaining half were gathered here, waiting for further selection from the Grand Governor's Houhou House, and assessment and organization.

——I am the dividing line—

In the Ankang County, northwest of Jinzhou, Zhang Dong, the Taiping brigade coach who had repelled attacks many times, also touched the mixed bloody sweat flowing down his head, and felt half of his face burning and painful.

Sitting on the cold and bone-broken battlements frozen by watering, he looked at the thin snowflakes falling from the sky with a blurred look, and the rebels retreating in the silent and low atmosphere in the distance. They didn't even bother to clean up the bodies and the wounded; they just kept rushing out of their hazy vision.

Let the plain white snowflakes slowly cover all the things on the battlefield outside the city, including those that will no longer move or move. With the stern and solemn connection of the cold wind and frost and snow outside the city, they are slowly losing the last bit of noise and returning to the dead silence.

Before he knew it, he had been here for more than a month. In this short period of time, he fought at least a dozen offensive and defensive battles, and even once broke out of the city to burn at least three camps; but he also lost all the mules and horses that could be used for maneuvering.

The rebels who came to attack were constantly repelled or defeated by established institutions; more rebels continued to gather and continue to siege them in a mess. Therefore, less than half of Zhang Dong could continue to stand.

And in this small and broken county town, civil strife and riots occurred twice; he also lost many old robes who met each other when guarding the border in Annan and supported each other along the way.

They did not die in the rebels' rain of swords, guns and arrows, but were injured and were killed in the temporary resettlement center, or they rose up to resist until the last moment. They finally repelled the rebels' support from the wall, and then they let go of the last force they raised, and died in the irreparable severe injury and exhausted their strength.

However, the two failed post-operation and chain reactions of internal and external cooperation have also caused the remaining thousands of people in Ankang City to gather about 2,000 young and strong people to change their passive and negative emotions and reactions, and have completely stood on the side of the Taiping Army.

Especially when hundreds of wealthy and well-off families who had escaped overnight due to distrust and pessimism were originally disappointed by distrust and pessimism, they were intercepted by rebels who might be in the village. They were all abused and killed under the city without hesitation and without mercy.

The women mixed in it ended up much more miserable, and the pain, torture and insults they suffered before their death were even longer. They almost cried under the city for a long time before they died.

Then, the rebels chopped them into pieces in the daytime and shot them one by one on the top of the city, claiming that they were the result of any follower of the bandit army. Most of the people in the city lost their extra longing, and devoted themselves to helping the Taiping soldiers to protect themselves and their families.

Therefore, they demolished their houses without hesitation, thinking that they could fill and strengthen the city walls or use them as firewood and firewood to burn stoves; they gave them the chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, cloth, clothes and quilts to the public to slaughter and use them together; they donated all the copper and iron objects in their homes, and made them into various simple weapons and tools such as arrows and gun tips;

When the cold winter when the air was filled with smoke, as the first snow fell, it was filled with wooden fences and sand and poured on the sewage in the ditches, and turned into a hard and slippery frozen wall, and became obstacles and nightmares that the rebels who still refused to give up were insurmountable.

They even invented several expedient instruments to defend the city; for example, using Yanggu's fork rakes to transform them into push rods on the front of the city against long ladders; using ropes to tie down hanging wooden slats to sweep the rebels climbing the walls. They used a large bamboo fire to dry and bend them on the ground, and made a catapult with only a few dozen service lifespans.

Even in order to supplement the lack of rolling stones on the city, the soil and water mold dug out from the ground were used to form a pattern, and then dried in the open air for one night and frozen the outer skin, which turned into a simple catapult and a good cannon stone thrown by the wall.

This kind of mud pattern is so simple that it can be made even for women, children and children. Therefore, hundreds of them are supplied to the wall overnight. Those who want to fight against rebels who want to climb like ants are like rain.

So a few days ago, the rebels changed their course and made many baffles and rows to cover them to rush to the city. Then they used shovels, picks and other tools to separate and dig them at the base of the wall.

As a result, the raw ash mixed water accumulated by the city with grinding shells and other objects was poured on the head and flowed everywhere along the gaps. He screamed and screamed and abandoned his weapons and fled. After all, as a Long March athlete who had been on the front line of the Southwest Barbarians for many years, Zhang Dong did not lack the experience and means of dealing with the siege.

Then, these rebels finally learned from their mistakes and began to build dirt mountains outside the city. Unfortunately, they had been delayed for too long after using all the means outside the city. However, in the climate that became colder day by day after the first snow, it became increasingly difficult and inefficient.

"Boss,"

At this time, a voice pulled Zhang Dong's thoughts back, but he was the big prisoner of the official army following him into the city. Now he has to rely on Wang Wanhong, who has been appointed as a five-headed man, to lean against him.

"I want to take people out to touch them... Maybe I can take a few people to come back early and ask what the hell is."

Wang Wanhong said jeeringly as he touched his forehead, which was shaved because of his injury.

"Go away and go back quickly, be careful not to get out of the cover area under the city arrows."

Zhang Dong agreed just after a little thought. After all, it was not easy to pause and ambush in the wilderness.

Then, as the wind and snow fell like salt, as the rope ladders and baskets hanging down the uneven and slippery walls, Wang Wanhong, who was tall and strong, came to the bottom of the wall with a few breaths.

They took out the greased knife cards and crossbows from the basket, then lowered their bodies and covered each other along the undulating ground full of corpses, stepping on the shallow snow surface, and then pulled a distance outward to search.

But when they were stomping on their feet and poking their swords, searching from the inside out for a long time, it seemed that nothing had been found, an unexpected sudden change suddenly happened. A stiff corpse suddenly jumped up and threw a soldier who was instinctively slashing his sword to the ground.
