Although each rebel has its own plans, it cannot be ruled out that some people come to help out of the idea of losing their lips and teeth.
On the fourth day of the month, Li Dao led 20,000 troops to South Luling successfully conquered Zhang Xiaohu, where more than 3,000 people were stationed in Luling City and took control of this area.
Zhang Xiaohu came to attack Guiyang, but after learning the news of Song Jun’s big army south, he immediately led the army to Huiyuan, but he didn’t catch it
As soon as his large army arrived at Luling City, wanan county, it fell to the defenders’ army. Few deus ex fled.
After Li Dao conquered Luling, he allowed his soldiers to plunder it for one day. He told Song Jun soldiers to ravage Luling in one day, and he did everything except not to set fire to it.
A day later, the negative feelings of Song Jun soldiers caused by long-term rush and high-pressure governance were released, and they were very satisfied with the general and were willing to continue to listen to his orders and continue to fight.
Li Dao, who knows the "military way", has long forgotten what it means to freeze to death, not to tear down the house, not to starve to death, not to fight captive, and to know the most routine and effective way to unify soldiers, which is good for himself and soldiers.
Is it good for the people … Who cares?
On the people, that man has been dead for a long time, and Li Dao has forgotten what that man looks like.
So Li Dao continued to lead his troops south to recover Taihe County.
Zhang Xiaohu rushed to Taihe County and immediately deployed, but the vanguard troops didn’t fight Song Jun because of fatigue. The vanguard troops were quickly defeated and killed, and more than 1,000 people fled back to Taihe County.
So Taihe county rebel army morale wavered.
Chapter 743 Li Dao died
In the face of the crisis, some people advised Zhang Xiaohu to retreat and not to smash the bottom of the uprising army with Song Jun. It is really not worth it.
Zhang Xiaohu thought about it for a time and felt that retreat might be the best choice.
But soon Zhang Xiaohu heard that the routed soldiers who had escaped from Luling cried and learned that Song Jun Luling had carried out a large-scale massacre and looting, which destroyed Luling. Many people died.
This made Zhang Xiaohu angry
Zhang Xiaohu was born in the mountains in his thirties.
He is tall, brave, loyal and hateful, and is very popular. It is expected that ordinary villagers will ask him to uphold justice in any dispute.
This time, it was not Zhang Xiaohu’s hometown people who took the lead in this uprising, but their villagers were oppressed and exploited by the government for a long time. It was unbearable to see that everyone around them had rebelled, and the villagers were also encouraged to revolt.
Uprising words need a leader, and everyone needs to be angry and lead everyone to give orders.
So the villagers unanimously elected Zhang Xiaohu as the leader
As soon as Zhang Xiaohu’s head was hot, he complied with people’s wishes and became the head of one party. The head of the rebel army fought in all directions.
Out of the hunter’s keen insight, he noticed that all the insurgents were fighting north and east, and there were only a few places where so many people poured in, just like hunters piled up their prey, but there might be conflicts in the future.
He thought about it and decided to go south to avoid densely populated areas and choose places where no one went to look for prey.
According to this idea, he successfully conquered Nan ‘an Army, successfully raised an army and defeated many places. Song Jun developed well.
However, the speed of Song Jun’s main force south was a little fast, which made him not come to guard against the loss of Luling City and the slaughter of a city, which made Zhang Xiaohu very sad.
Seeing that Taihe County will also be treated like this, Zhang Xiaohu’s heart can’t help it.
His uprising and rebellion is to conform to the will of his hometown elders and want to help everyone get rid of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees and stop living a bitter life. If this place retreats, won’t it mean that the ferocious Song Ting will come back to rule the hometown folks again?
You can’t retreat, you must never retreat. You must stand here against Song Jun’s attack and stick to the fruits of everyone’s victory
Soon, Zhang Xiaohu said that he would stick to Taihe and many soldiers from Taihe County also supported Zhang Xiaohu’s willingness to fight with him. This decision was passed.
Considering that Song Jun may be relatively strong, it may not have a good result, so Zhang Xiaohu decided to evacuate Taihe people first and take refuge in Longquan. After the people retreated safely, they could fight Song Jun to the death.
When Zhang Xiaohu arranged troops to help the people transfer themselves to Taihe County to defend against Song Jun and fight for the retreat of the people in Taihe County,
The guards helped the people evacuate to Longquan and then returned to Taihe County to help Zhang Xiaohu and others fight in Song Jun.
Anyway, this is where Zhang Xiaohu will fight Song Jun to the death and never retreat.
Li Dao, from Song Jun, was very happy to learn that there was a main rebel force in Taihe County. He immediately marched south to Taihe County to prepare for a beautiful annihilation war in Taihe County to eliminate this main rebel force and pacify this great rebellion as soon as possible.
But he soon found that this rebel army was not the same as the one he had met before.
This rebel army is not vulnerable to collapse, and it is tougher to fight. Not to mention Taihe County, it is impossible to attack some small hills and military camps outside the city that have the function of blocking the enemy.
Li Dao felt that he might meet the elite of the rebel army, and he was even more happy. He made up his mind to personally destroy this elite, so he threw himself into the most elite troops around him, trebuchets and earthquake thunder, and stormed the military camp.
The insurgents gradually could not resist being attacked by Song Jun one after another outside the city.
On the first day of the month, the insurgents were pushed by Song Jun to the outside of Taihe County, where they could close the city and obey the law in the field.
Song Jun besieged the city on three sides, leaving the south not surrounded, but hiding an ambush at the south gate, just waiting for the insurgents to break through and encircle it on all sides and eat it in one bite.
