[Chapter 440] The Smoke of Yansui Town (Part 1)

(0440)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

The appearance of the Leopard Cavalry was like a spark of sparks, igniting the entire Yansui Town.

Originally, the military households in Yansui Town had the intention to rebel, but the superiors also noticed the situation in Yansui Town. The sturdy suppression made them not have the opportunity to rise up. Now, with the support of the Leopard Cavalry, they were fearless. The Leopard Cavalry used force to expel all the imperial officials from all over the country, giving these people room for movement.

Soon, around Yulin City, Wang Ziyong, Wang Jiayin, Ma Guangyu, Wu Yangui, He Yilong and others killed their superiors in various places and led their troops to join them. Their numbers were large, with a thousand and a hundred people, with a small number of people, with a hundred and a hundred people. Many people combined together, and the momentum became very vast. The surroundings of Yulin City were crowded with people, which was as lively as the New Year. Yes, it was as lively as the New Year.

It should be noted that these people who have risen to the top are not settled. After they arrived around Yulin City, they did not have strong leaders and no clear regulations. Such chaos was inevitable. Wang Xia and Mao Shisan and others actually only knew how to fight, and they basically didn't understand how to control and organize military households. Therefore, they basically let them go to the spontaneous behavior of the military households in Yansui Town.

If Xu Xingxia was here, she would definitely find a way to regulate such a messy situation. Such a mob actually has no combat power. On the surface, there are indeed many people, all over the mountains and fields, and there is almost no head at a glance. However, once you encounter a powerful enemy, they will collapse. Moreover, so many people gather together is also a fatal burden on logistics. Everyone is noisy, who is responsible for production? No one is responsible for production, can they all drink the northwest wind?

Unfortunately, Xu Xingxia is not here. Since he is not here, everything is useless. The military households in Yansui Town do whatever they want. Wang Ziyong, Wang Jiayin, He Yilong and others moved everywhere and did everything. The only benefit of their activities was to make the momentum even louder, and the entire Yansui Town was in chaos. It even affected the nearby Shanxi Town, especially the junction of Fugu and Baodezhou.

As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. If such a big thing happens in Yansui Town, Shanxi Town naturally needs to pay attention to it. Baodezhou is originally a strategic location, and Shanxi Town has thousands of military households stationed here. If the army from Shaanxi enters from here, it can easily enter Shanxi. From the strategic approach, from Baodezhou, all the way eastward is Ningwu Pass, where the general officers of Shanxi Town are located. If Ningwu Pass is conquered, the entire Shanxi territory will be cut off into two sections, and the beginning and end cannot be taken into account, and the situation will be very dangerous.

If Shanxi falls, then Beizhili will be in danger. After Li Zicheng's army conquered Shanxi, there will be basically no major war and can directly surround the capital. Faced with such a dangerous situation, officials at all levels in Shanxi Town would be false to say that they are not nervous. On the one hand, they reported to Datong Town and Xuanfu Town to request assistance, and on the other hand, they reported to the court to explain the situation, adding fuel to the fire, and describing the situation of Yansui Town as extremely dangerous. Anyway, Shanxi Town and Yansui Town have no friendship, so there is no need to say good things for them.

Poor Huang Kezhang, as the governor of the three sides, did not know the decay of Yansui Town. He only knew that the White-Clothed Army had entered Yansui Town. Because Yansui Town was still quite far from Xi'an Prefecture. Even if the messenger from Yansui Town rushed all the way, it would take almost two days to arrive at Xi'an Prefecture. Moreover, the matter came too suddenly, and the whole Yansui Town did not know the detailed situation at all. The report to Huang Kezhang did not even explain how many people the White-Clothed Army had arrived and who was the commander.

If such a situation report was usually not up to standard. But now, it would be enough. Even if Huang Kezhang was dissatisfied, he would not be able to cut off Xu Wanda's head. If Luo Wanda defended Yulin City, the problem would not be big. However, if Yulin City was lost, the problem would be big. Ningxia City was lost in the front and Yulin City was lost in the back. Even if the superiors did not hold him accountable, he would have no face to stay there.

...

When the Leopard Cavalry entered Yansui Town, it was about the end of May. They stayed around Yulin City for more than ten days, and it was mid-June in a blink of an eye. At this time, the number of military households gathered around Yulin City was more, and roughly estimated that it had exceeded 100,000 people. So many people gathered together, it would be absolutely impossible for Xu Wanda, Xu Dingguo, and his son, to be not nervous in Yulin City. More than 100,000 people! What kind of scene is that?

The two deputy generals who were originally stationed in Fugu and Baichengzi felt something was wrong, so they fled with their servants overnight. As a result, all the entire Yansui Town, except Yulin City, became the world of military households. Since there was no effective organization, the military households in various places took their own initiative, took their own actions, and did everything. Influenced by Yansui Town, many people in Yan'an Prefecture in the south also launched the ***.

Fortunately, Xu Xingxia didn't know the news for the time being, otherwise he would probably be stunned. The small leopard cavalry army actually had such great energy? Yansui Town is one of the important towns on the nine sides. It was turned upside down by the white-clothed army with only 1,500 people. In just a few days, it almost changed the sky. It was a joke!

But there is no way, the fact is that this is the fact. The most direct reason is that when the Leopard Cavalry arrived, it was indeed great. It was precisely the main troops of Yansui Town who were transferred to the front line of Ningxia Town to suppress the rebellion in Ningxia Town. The rear was extremely empty and was just taken advantage of by the Leopard Cavalry. If the warriors in Yansui Town were all there, the actions of the Leopard Cavalry would definitely not be so exaggerated. At least tens of thousands of warriors could stop the Leopard Cavalry for a while.

Of course, the deep-seated reason is the problem of Yansui Town itself. To promote it, it is the fundamental problem of the entire Ming army. Because the money and food owed by the imperial court had been too long, the military households had been overwhelmed with dissatisfaction. Without external inducement, they might have been able to endure it for a while. However, now with the White Army, they burst out. Without this outbreak of anger, it would be impossible to achieve such a significant effect simply by relying on the power of the Leopard Cavalry.

In addition, in a sense, the strength of the White-Clothed Army is also a very important reason. The White-Clothed Army can fight the Tatars to the death and defeat Lin Danhan's iron-spray cavalry. What is the level of combat effectiveness of such a combat power? It is definitely a few streets away from the Ming army! What is the most feared of rebellion? Isn't it just beheading the head and scouting the family and extermination of the clan? However, the White-Clothed Army is so powerful that the official army is no match for the White-Clothed Army at all. What else do they have to fear?

Yansui Town suddenly changed the sky. The soldiers who were transferred to the front line and prepared to suppress the rebellion of Ningxia Town naturally fell apart. His backyard was on fire, or suppress others? Originally, General Cheng Guo had already set off from Xi'an Prefecture and was preparing to go to Ningxia's rear guards to command Yansui Town's troops to encircle and suppress the rebels in Ningxia Town. However, as soon as he entered the territory of Qingyang Prefecture, he learned the news of the collapse of the troops. There was no way, so he had to turn back to Xi'an Prefecture.

It is absolutely impossible that Gao Yigong took the opportunity to lead the Lion Cavalry to kill and disperse all the official troops. Many Yansui Town’s military households defected to the White-Clothing Army on the spot. In just a few days, the White-Clothing Army increased a lot of troops. The Lion Cavalry also moved forward, occupying Dingbian Camp, Ningsai Camp, Jingbian Camp and other places, connecting Yansui Town and Ningxia Town together.

The situation was developing too fast. By mid-June, the White-Clothed Army had already controlled the entire Ningxia Town and most of Yansui Town. When Xu Xingxia received the report and returned to Heishan Camp from Bayannur Grassland, he suddenly found that his territory had been expanded many times by accident. The grasslands, Ningxia Town and Yansui Town controlled by the White-Clothed Army, formed an independent space. Unfortunately, the middle of this territory was a desert. Otherwise, it would be too perfect.

"These kids..." Xu Xingxia said to herself.

He wanted to say something, but it was hard to say. Originally, he thought rebellion was a very difficult thing, but he didn't expect that it was so easy to grab territory. The Leopard Cavalry rushed in a random manner, and the entire Yansui Town fell down with a loud bang. The fall of Yulin City was only a matter of time. Even if the Leopard Cavalry could not conquer Yulin City, the follow-up troops of the White-Clothed Army would definitely take it down. When necessary, he would lead his army to attack Yulin City.

No wonder, the peasant uprisings in history have developed so rapidly at the beginning. In just one or two years, they can control the huge territory, or even half of the country. It turns out that all this can be done. Since this is the case, don’t be polite and grab the territory more actively! No matter what kind of territory, grab it first!

Xu Xingxia estimated that the court had not reacted yet and was caught off guard, so that the White-Clothed Army would succeed easily. It seemed that the situation in Yansui Town was completely unprepared, which would allow the White-Clothed Army to take advantage of the loopholes. It is estimated that the court would learn lessons soon and improve its defense. If the court reacted, it would not be so easy for the White-Clothed Army to succeed again. Time is out of the way! You have to hurry up! You have to do it if you should do it!

"Dragon Cavalry! Tiger Cavalry! Wolf Cavalry! Hunting Cavalry! Follow me to Yulin City!" Xu Xingxia flatly ordered that Yulin City wants to survive? Dream!
