Chapter 263
After Liu Bu and his friends captured the city gate, they immediately opened the city gate and welcomed the army into the city.
The nominal commander of this battle was Liu Bu, the guerrilla general of Dengzhou, but Liu Zhongyong was the one who really took charge of the overall situation.
Liu Bu is very good at logistics and coordination, but if he lacks experience in actual leadership combat, this is his first time to lead troops, so they decided to let the veteran Liu Zhongyong lead him. After he has experience, he will lead the army alone and lead the army alone.
This is also the first time that their Liu family army has led troops to fight after a large-scale army, so they think it is very important to ensure that they will win the first battle. As long as they win the first battle, they will be able to do it in the future.
Liu Zhongyong has decades of experience in leading troops. He started as a veteran at the lowest level. He has been a soldier at the lowest level and a middle- and senior commander with a rich experience.
He would not make such a low-level mistake, nor would he be impatient with his troops. Instead, after capturing the city gate, he would first open the city gate, then control the city gate tower, and then order the soldiers to attack the four-sided city gate along the city wall. They would first control the four-sided city gate in their hands, then bloom on all sides and attack together in the center.
Their goal is to capture the mob and the rioters, and to capture the leading elements. According to their intelligence, the leading elements should not be arrested and have not fled.
So they took down the four walls and surrounded the walls, and then caught the turtle in the jar, and the other party could not escape.
So after they broke through one city gate, they occupied several other city gates and then gradually advanced forward. Although they only had more than 4,000 people, they were divided into dozens of combat teams to fight, and each of the hundred-man teams could perform combat missions that could block a small direction alone.
These so-called chaos mobs are actually a group of hungry farmers who have no food to eat before rebelling, and they do not even have normal weapons.
If normal people think of a problem, that is, after they occupy the city of Dengzhou, they will definitely open the Hyogo and distribute the soldiers and peasants to arm the soldiers. However, these tasks have not been done. They lack a strong and powerful leader and leader.
It can be said that the other party's leader is very stupid and very stupid, but Liu Bu understood one thing, that is, this may be completely done by Liu Yuanqiao. As long as those people are in such chaos, they can be completely profitable.
Even the riots were based on their riots. This riots were definitely not organized, but were launched temporarily. It was probably because the people of Liu Yuanqiao saw that the other party was making trouble, so they took the opportunity to cheer on the side, igniting the fire to boost their arrogance, which made them rebel inexplicably, and they inexplicably captured the county town. After conquering the county town, they didn't know how to manage it, so they could only let it go.
Even the leaders of the mob were wondering now that I had never thought about rebelling, but why did I inexplicably rebel, and inexplicably attacked Dengzhou Prefecture, and killed both the governor and the prefect. We actually did not have such deep revenge with them.
There is no need to do so extreme, why is it so extreme? Moreover, these people have successfully rebelled and occupied such a large city because of the sudden success of the rebellion. They must have been confused by the flower world in front of them, lost themselves, and had no idea what their surname was.
They simply do not have the ability to manage such a big city, and do not know how to manage or operate it, and they do not know how to face the counterattack of the court after occupying this city. They just took one step at a time, and after seizing the city, they began to steal silver and women, and also to grab beautiful houses and beautiful clothes to wear. They never thought about the arrival of the imperial army. What should they do?
They also believed in other people's slander, that is, the imperial army had been transferred from the local area, and no army came for two or three months. Since there was no army coming for two or three months, they had time, and some were time to indulge in pleasure and play with women. As a result, the imperial army arrived just a few days later, and it was the most elite unit.
This made them panic and scared.
The city of Zhengzhou was in chaos. In fact, there was no clear leader at present. Several gangsters each brought in a group of people, gave themselves officials, and assigned territory. They did whatever they wanted within their so-called territory and did everything they wanted. As a result, they made a mess after only a few days of trouble.
Moreover, there is a problem with these people in riots, that is, they cannot withstand the oppression of others, and rebel before they rebel.
As a result, after they succeeded in their own rebellion, they immediately became the ones who oppressed others and the ones they hated and rebelled against.
As soon as the imperial army arrived, these people scattered their money and fled one after another. At first they wanted to resist, but seeing that the court's bows and arrows were so powerful, and even more powerful muskets and cannons had not been used, they were even less motivated and fled one after another.
When they threw away their weapons and fled, they discovered something, that was, the city had been surrounded by the Liu family army, and the city walls on all sides were under their control. They had no way to escape. These people had no choice but to escape in the direction of the water village. As a result, they had just run to the water city and saw a large number of ships coming from the sea outside Penglai. The fleet of Dengzhou General Zheng Zhibao rushed back to quell the rebellion after hearing the news.
At this time, they realized that they had truly become turtles in the jar, with no way out and no way out, and they could not advance or retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and face the imperial army.
Liu Bu knew that what they were dealing with was actually a group of mobs, so as soon as they entered the city, they divided the troops into several hundred-man groups, arranged sections to clear the enemy, and he personally led the main force to directly attack areas such as the General Office and the Governor's Office.
These are also the main building areas of Dengzhou City, and the most important areas, with the most luxurious houses, and the most upright officials and nobles live in this area. However, after this military disaster, these upright officials and nobles are basically like being swept by the strong wind, all withered and messy.
Many dignitaries and gentry were driven out of their homes and left on the streets. Their property, wives and daughters were stolen. These who were usually bullied by others have now tasted the taste of being bullied by others.
However, they finally waited for the stars and the moon, and they waited for the imperial army. The imperial army set out quickly, as they expected, and they thought that the imperial army would arrive at least several months later. Unexpectedly, the imperial army arrived in just a few days, but the Liu family army, which was quite famous in the nearby area.
At this time, the imperial army swept past, sweeping away the mobs occupying these places again. Many gentry who were driven out of their homes were guiding the imperial army and destroying the mob riots everywhere.
Liu Bu officially put forward his own banner, which is the troops of Liu Bu, the guerrilla general of Dengzhou.
Before this, Liu Bu was already a little famous, but his fame was basically negative. It was just a playboy and powerful child who ate, drank, who was gambled. All the time it was reported were all romantic affairs or bastards. However, it was said that he had become a spirit recently, but there was no amazing performance, which did not make everyone admire him. Who knew that this time he performed so well and personally led the army to rescue everyone. This was like everyone's savior. Everyone was excited and knelt down and said, "Thank you for saving your life."
Liu Bu raised his hand and said, "Don't give me a gift. I will come to wipe out the rebellion and the rebels on the orders of the court. I would like to ask all the villagers to support me."
After Liu Bu captured the Governor's Office, he immediately established a front-line command center here, not only commanding the battle here, clearing out the rebellious parties in the city, but also meeting with local gentry who urgently asked him for help from everywhere.
The Liu family's goal this time was very obvious, that is, to place the Dengzhou area into their sphere of influence and successfully seize the position of governor of Denglai. Therefore, it is very important for them to deal with local powers and wealthy people. Even all the civilian officers in Liu Bu's army were dispatched to appease and visit the powerful people and officials who were still in the world in the city.
Liu Bu's birth determined his class, that is, he could only unite these powerful people and wealthy gentry, let them wave flags and cheer for the Liu family and cheer for them.
Dengzhou fell in a few days, but it caused these powerful people to suffer a lot and made them live in a dire hell. Now it was finally ready. The court dispatched a large army to rescue them, which made them very happy. They came to the governor's yamen to ask for a meeting with the general. One was to express their gratitude to the general; the other was to complain to the general and tell their sufferings.
Liu Bu said: "This time the rebellion was so cruel that it broke through Dengzhou City and harmed the villages in the city. The most evil trip was the most. I will never tolerate it. As long as I catch the thief, I will be executed on the spot. I will never allow him to live until tomorrow. As for the property they robbed, they will be returned one by one, and will never cause everyone to suffer a loss."
Liu Bu made such a guarantee, which made the gentry very pleased. They all thanked the general and said, "The general is indeed a hero, and he is extremely kind and righteous."
