"Why do military envoys kill all these people? Isn't there anything that can be polite and kind to keep for use?"

Around Hu Zhen, there is also a general who came to serve in Henan. Liu Xiu, the son of the county magistrate of Anqiu, Mizhou (now Anqiu City, Shandong Province), looked at the scene where the corpse was everywhere and his face looked unwilling to persuade him:

"These Caizhou thieves are one of the four major sufferings of Henan's annual disasters, and they are even more complicated and profound in Huaixi. If we cannot kill this wave to cut off the ten-year disaster, will we still be able to celebrate the New Year?"

Hu Zhen said sternly without hesitation:

"The thieves in Caizhou should die, and the relatives who are sad about the thief should die even more... After staying, this time, the thief should be slaughtered in plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves was a great move."

Another former official army officer named Yu Hou who was a local Henan local, Bianzhou native Liu Han also nodded and praised him.

"That's exactly what it means."

Hu Zhen continued to speak:

"The queen of Liu also specifically explained that the Caizhou soldiers who were forced to do evil and acted in chaos may be able to be pardoned and redeemed; but these strong surnames, clans, big surnames and subordinate officials who rely on the foundation of the Qin family cannot be kept."

Of course, in addition to winning over and giving favors to the local people in Henan who suffered from the suffering of the Huaixi thieves, he actually had another guess and idea about his resolute killing style of his late Hou, but he could not be clear about these newcomers.

After all, only a few knew that in order to gain trust and assistance from the south, Zhu Liushou, who was famous for visiting his brothers, sent his wife, children and mothers to the Taiping Thieves Army in disguise to protect the quality.

In addition, he also recruited local scholars and scholars stranded in Dogi Province, and secretly introduced books and textbooks from the south, which meant to establish cultural and educational talents. He had a vague plan to gradually reduce and eliminate them. The proportion of former officials and Tujia family members under the rule of Dogi Province was considered to be a corresponding way to restrict and weigh the rules.

Because even those who were illiterate as Hu Zhen, after reading through or listening to the books from the south, they also knew how these northern families led by the five surnames and seven Wangs secretly fabricated public opinion and controlled local authority, and even resisted all foreign emerging forces and various means to make evil and disgusting people.

Naturally, it will no longer fall into the trap so easily, let alone give enough trust and blind reliance.

——I am the dividing line—

And when the vision returned to Yangzhou from the Central Plains, there was also chaos in the Zicheng north of Guangling.

"What, Tian Feng, Lu Shizhou and others led their troops from Beizhengmen and Beijiaomen to attack out of the city!"

Yang Xingmin also said with a rare sarcasm:

"It's really damn. How dare you ruin my big trouble!"

"Empress, what should I do!"

The military academy responsible for reporting the news couldn't help but become more and more frightened:

"Go and summon Zhu Yanshou and other troops. Don't worry about anything else next. I'll order people to go out of the city to support and respond. Never let them fight alone and fight the thief..."

Yang Xingmin quickly calmed down and said calmly:

However, the next moment seemed to confirm his words, and another rushing over and shouting:

"The envoy, Zhu (Yanshou) and the men of Zhao, came out from the east one after another!"

"How can you act without permission? Is there any big picture in your eyes?"

Although Yang Xingmin cursed angrily at this moment, he felt the deep chill of being betrayed by others and abandoned in a sense. You should know that Zhu Yanshou was at least the earliest old brother to guard the border, and later became his wife and the most capable right-hand man;

At least compared to those local land groups and old officials who took advantage of the situation and had their own thoughts and did not expect much in terms of loyalty and reliability; they could be regarded as a relationship of honor and disgrace. Especially after Li Shenfu fell into the enemy, he was the unscrupulous second-ranked figure in the army.

"Where are you from the left and right and the yamen army? Stop counting and cleaning up immediately..."

However, the next moment, the continuous roar and shouting outside the city gate, as well as the sound of golden plates and gongs that were struck desperately, completely covered up Yang Xingmin's next words and other sounds, and made his left and right look at each other in shock.

Standing at the upper end of Shugang, which was slightly higher on the ground, you can see it; on the Taiping Army positions that had just been in the shape of the first appearance outside the inner wall of Zicheng, smoke and clouds burst out with many thin tracks. The next moment, they would shatter from the inner wall and the south gate, bursting out broken bricks, broken soil and scattered limbs, and blood came.

At the same time as this rapid bombardment, many Taiping soldiers who had already gathered in front of the formation no longer paid attention to the number and order of attacks in batches that had not been safely arranged; instead, they grabbed the cards, horizontal knives, short guns, grenades and other objects around them, and suddenly trotted forward with the sound of the whistle that was urgently promoting attack.

After just a brief moment of trotting, they had already completed the basic acceleration and warm-up. Facing the arrows and bids that were still radiating sporadically on the head of the city opposite, they rushed through the short 100 steps without hesitation. With only sporadic casualties and other costs, they all rushed under the edge of the wall, and rushed into the doorway in a swarm.

At this time, the city was hit by artillery fire, and more voices and figures gathered again like a dream. Then large pieces of stones and rolling wood were quickly transported and lifted to the edge of the city wall; at this time, some light guns that were loading faster in the south of the city were already exploding.

This time, it was no longer a heavy and clumsy ball, but it was wrapped in silk cloth and placed on the wooden bracket. It instantly swept across the wall plates that were still broken like a fan-shaped wind. The rolling stone wood that had just been pushed over the wall, along with the figures exerting force behind it, splashing blood.

Therefore, only a few thrown objects were able to fly out of the outer edge of the city wall during this period. However, the light long ladder, climbing rod and hook rope were already sent up by subsequent impact batches, and they climbed onto the outer edge of the city wall of Zicheng one after another. The Taiping soldiers in the shallow corridor under the city gate still used their knives and axes to drill out several alignment holes as big as fists.

The gunmen at the base of the wall also began to spontaneously radiate towards the wall. Although there were very few who could hit it, they tried their best to harass the enemy on the city, restraining and distracting the attention of the enemy on the city, making them unable to do their best to correspond to the simple siege equipment that was leaning forward with all their might. Then the gun team that fell silent with the investment of the siege equipment began to move forward one after another.

And among these soldiers who were rushing around the ground, because of the fact that the equipment was responsible for conveying equipment and building materials to build positions, the auxiliary squad team, who was carried into this temporary offensive, was also raising a climbing pole on his head. The moment he was about to hit the city wall with the long pole, he suddenly jumped and his feet fell on the base of the wall.

The next moment, under the inertial action of several auxiliary soldiers behind him pushing upwards and pushing forward with all their might, he almost kept walking on the tilted wall, and ran out of thin air with the front end of the climbing rod, and actually ran to the top of the city wall in one go; he flashed across the flying arrows and the falling stones passing by, and suddenly stepped on the head and face of an enemy soldier who was protruding his head, and then rolled inward into a ball.

The next moment, Geshutic, who was a little dizzy, wanted to get up, but was slashed hard on the back with a knife; he was pressed down to the bottom; but he was not feeling much pain and helped roll on the side, grabbed a broken brick and stone and staggered towards the guards who were chasing the ferocious guards, and staggered on their chests on their backs.

The next moment, he swept his legs on the other party's ankle without hesitation, and he immediately mixed his hands and feet in a daze, and the sound hit the side wall plate with a dull sound. Although he was protected by a helmet, he was also very terrified. The next moment, the Geshutic punched his throat with all his strength, and he sank straight in and suddenly broke his breath.

In the flash, Goshutic snatched the opponent's thick back knife, but before he could get up, he rolled over the hook that was chiseled to the front, and slashed the calves on the opponent's boots with one knife. He dragged it over and then destroyed the enemy again, and could only roll on the ground and screamed. He met a new defending enemy again.

When Goshutic leaned against the incomplete city wall and released the knife that broke and stabbed into the fourth enemy soldier's body, he felt that he was almost exhausted and his back was itchy and painful, and it was already soaked. The next moment, he finally turned around the broad-mouthed short gun behind him, but he touched the empty space, and only touched the wound on his back, stained with a dark red bloody hand.

Only then did Geshutic realize that the firearm he relied on was cut off or dropped, but it was also the blockade of this firearm, which made him cut his back long but not very deep. He still maintained the power of the subsequent counterattack. However, the loss of mind and power at this moment made a spear stabbed his armpit, and he was nailed to the city wall through some flesh and armor.

"It's over now"

In the severe pain of tearing the flesh, Geshutic, who was exhausted and unable to move or dodge, couldn't help but sighed inwardly, wishing that he could not see the birth of that child, but at least he left them with evidence that he could only hope that these Taiping Army members could keep their promises.

The next moment, the enemy soldier who abandoned his spear and drew his sword in front of him, exploded a ball of blood and fragments of armor on his chest, and fell down on his back with a sad voice. Then he stretched out his arm from behind and grabbed the spear and pulled it out. Goshutic, who was covering his wound, slid down to the ground with a bloody color, but his listless consciousness became energetic in the severe pain.

"Can you still move, brother?"

A somewhat familiar Guan Nei accent said to him: But it was Wang Hongfan, a big man from the former Shence Zuo Daying Tun who had been in contact with him for several times. He saw that he was tall and strong, holding a rolled-up flag gun with one hand, and tweeting hard, and dialing the defending enemies who wanted to get over the next time, so he could not get close to him for a while.

Then, the other hand took the time to shoot out a short gun again, knocking down a military academy in the head and wearing a pocket head-on. It immediately disrupted and broke through the combined force of these defenders, and rushed into it to block the left and right to slash, further killing them and driving them away, creating a gap again on this section of the city.

Geshutic, who survived death, also recovered some strength in this short interval and gap in the creeping pain; but he picked up the short gun and medicine bag that was thrown on the ground by Wang Hongfan's hand, gritted his teeth and supported his arms to complete the difficult loading, and then aimed at Wang Hongfan's back who was fighting forward...

The next moment he raised his hand and buckled it with all his strength. The fireworks he touched almost passed through the edge of Wang Hongfan's helmet, standing on the corner of the wall disc, putting a radial guard arm, and hit him in a missed shot at another guard who was diagonally below, but his body couldn't help but leaned back and screamed and fell down.

Goushutic, who completed this unexpected double kill, also leaned back on the city wall as if he had exhausted all his strength, but at this time he no longer had to worry about his life. Because more Taiping soldiers wearing hard-bottomed fur boots and high-top rubber surfaces had already poured into the city wall along the gap where he was.

Then, Wang Hongfan, who had no time to take action, was able to climb up the wall behind the inner city, and easily blocked the star-dou flag representing the Shouhao Army, and raised the Taiping Green Flag with Kunpeng pattern in the sky. The next moment, Egoshutiqi, who was cold all over because of excessive blood loss, gradually lost his consciousness and felt that he was dragged away at the last moment.

"Catch Yang Xingmin alive and have a big fat year!"

"Take the Huainan Jieya, everyone can celebrate the New Year!"

The next moment, these Taiping soldiers who were competing to flock to the city were already chasing the destruction of the defenders, rushed down the towering inner city wall, which was covered with blood and ice and snow. They also passed through the offices, archways and streets at the foot of the mountain, chasing the chaotic and broken enemies, and rushed up the long stairs on the edge of Shugang with one go.

They saw that they cut down the stagnant soldiers one by one on the ranks, and then pushed the bodies away; or captured the fish that were missing on the ground begging for mercy, and drove them to the slope beside the stairs and received subsequent shelter on their own to clear out enough ladders.

However, as the inner city gates opened one after another, more Taiping soldiers who poured in during the influx also surrounded the huge Shugang along with the surrounding and clusters of the mountain. The Yacheng, which was squat-high and wide, and the Huaiyang Grand Governor's Office (Huainan Jieya) surrounded the huge Shugang, which was like a blue and gray rapids under the foot of Shugang.
