Another failed attack on the city. Looking at the gradually dimming sky, Zhou Fang's face was darker than the weather. Yesterday's scene did not happen again today, as if the fighting power and momentum that the Taiping Religion army exploded yesterday were a dream.

.

What exactly went wrong?

Zhou Fang couldn't figure it out, and after discussing with all the generals, no one could give an answer.

In the Taiping Sect's big tent, Zhou Fang asked people to light candles. Most of the Taiping Sect's generals gathered here, but none of them even dared to breathe.

"These past few days of continuous siege on the city have yielded no results. Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?" In the dull and depressing atmosphere, Zhou Fang finally spoke. His tone was very calm, but it made people feel even more depressed.

A group of Taiping Sect generals looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. So far, the Taiping Sect has actually not fought any tough battles. In the final analysis, the tactics of siege are not based on how the Taiping Sect can fight. One is to scare away the enemy because of the large number of people. The other is

The Taiping believers in the city helped open the city gate and rushed in.

With just these two tricks, it can be said that they have been invincible since the uprising. But now they are blocked in Quyang, and there is no news about the Taiping believers in the city, so they think of other tricks... to trick the people into joining the religion, and to coerce and induce them.

, charging into battle... it's barely possible, but when it comes to making plans, it's completely blind. A group of people looked at me and I looked at you, and finally lowered their heads silently, hoping from the bottom of their hearts that Qu Shuai wouldn't see him.

.

I don’t understand even if you ask me.

"What? No one is talking at this time? What use do I have to wait for you?" Zhou Fang looked at the crowd and said solemnly.

"Qushuai!" A general closest to Zhou Fang said quickly: "Quyang is well-defended. We might as well abandon Quyang and go south to attack Huaipu and Sheyang, or attack from the east and capture Haixi. Why bother getting entangled in one place?"

"

"Easier said than done?" Zhou Fang sighed after hearing this, shook his head and said, "We can leave later, but if these tens of thousands of troops cannot capture Quyang, I am afraid they will have to stay here. The army will no longer have enough food and grass."

This is also the biggest problem of the Taiping Religion. Although it seems to be a huge force in coercing the people, it does not have stable supplies. If it cannot capture the city, it will have to face the dilemma of food shortage, or give up those people and drive out the people from other places again.

Or just fight to the death with the defending army, there is no other way.

But the Runan side of the Huaihe River is better. The Guangling side is vast and sparsely populated. Zhou Fang organized this operation and has already brought over all the people who can be coerced. The results of the battle along the way are also quite fruitful. Next

Xiang, Xiaqiu, Hongxian, Lingxian Siwu and other places have all fallen into his hands. If the number of people under his command is really counted, there are more than 100,000. But as Chen's mother said, the management is chaotic. Now Zhou Fang can't even control himself.

He couldn't even count how much food and grass he had in his hand, let alone really unleash the power of more than 100,000 people. When he came to Quyang, the other counties he captured were basically in a stocking state. Although he had food in his hand at this time,

But even he himself was not sure whether he could reach the next city.

The atmosphere returned to dead silence again, and Zhou Fang was a little irritable.

"Report~"

The door curtain was lifted, and a gust of night wind rushed in with cold air, making people shiver.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Fang looked at the person coming with some irritation. He was a small boss. He couldn't remember exactly what he did.

"Commander Qu, the news of the imperial examination is spreading everywhere in the camp." the little leader said quickly.

"Oh?" Zhou Fang didn't care: "What list?"

"The one hanging at the top of Quyang City." The little boss said solemnly.

"Then what's written on it?" Zhou Fang asked curiously. He didn't know a few words. Although he read the list yesterday, he didn't recognize most of it. He was also a little curious at this time.

"It is said that the imperial court has decreed that only the first culprits will be killed, and the rest can be forgiven by just obtaining the head of one person, and they can also receive rewards." The little boss bowed.

"When did the imperial court issue such an edict?" Zhou Fang sneered. Quyang was now surrounded by people. If there was really any movement in the imperial court, he should be the first to know: "It must be a misinformation."

"Commander Qu, now the news has spread in the camp..." The little leader wanted to say something else, but he saw the curtain was opened again, and Yang Mao hurried in.

"Yang Mao? What are you doing here?" Zhou Fang said with a frown. Yang Mao was good at martial arts and had some prestige. He had been appointed as a minor boss these days, but he was not from the Taiping Cult, but was responsible for managing those who had been recruited. Although the Orions, Heroes and Rangers are in charge of more than a dozen people and have good combat capabilities, they are not yet considered confidants and are not allowed to participate in such discussions.

"Qu Shuai." Yang Mao took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Fang and bowed: "Two people under my account were killed and beheaded. In addition, many brothers were attacked tonight. I had no choice but to come here." Report, rumors are spreading in the camp now, I'm afraid..."

"Bang~" Zhou Fang slapped the table and stood up. He frowned and looked at Yang Mao and said, "Do you know who did it?"

"If you knew, it would be easier to handle." Yang Mao shook his head and said somewhat dullly. This was a blind act, and he didn't know when the other party made a move. When the body was found, the person's head was gone.

"Which one of you can read? What did the announcement posted at the city wall yesterday say?" Zhou Fang scratched his scalp a little irritably and looked at the people in the tent.

A group of people looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Zhou Fang was a registered disciple of the great virtuous master, and he knew some words. It was pretty good for people like them to recognize their own names, let alone read the article.

"Qu Shuai!" Yang Mao hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Zhou Fang and said, "I know a boy. Although he is young, he can read."

"Literate at a young age?" Zhou Fang frowned and said, "Where is he from? How do you recognize him?"

Yang Mao said quickly: "This son and I are from the same hometown. Our ancestors were once prominent, but our family is in decline. Although he is young, he is quite sensible. Qu Shuai has met him before..."

"Okay!" Zhou Fang naturally knew that Yang Mao wanted to take the opportunity to bring in people from his hometown, but it didn't matter, as long as he could read and write, he waved his hand and said: "Go find him, if you really can read, you can stay here yes."

"Thank you so much!" Yang Mao was overjoyed when he heard this. After bowing to Zhou Fang, he turned around and quickly walked out of the tent to find Li Jiu. He had gone to find Chen Mo today, but the shed where the mother and son were staying had been occupied by someone else. When I asked other people, no one knew. It was hard for Yang Mao to be away for too long. When this happened, he took this opportunity to find Chen Mo and his son.

"Why waste all this strength? We are on this battlefield today. We may not be able to come back even if we go there today." Li Jiu looked at Yang Mao and shook his head and sighed.

"I always feel that Ergou is not that easy to die." Yang Mao shook his head and said, "Let's ask the village leaders nearby one by one."
