Xiangyang Xichengmen.

"Call the door!"

Jingzhou General Sangtua waved impatiently and said.

After saying that, he yawned.

"Master, why not take a sip first?"

The personal soldier next to him said holding a cigarette gun.

"Nothing is the time to smoke!"

Santua angrily scolded.

While speaking, a leader beside him rushed forward to the closed city gate, while Sangtua looked back at behind him. The torrent of four thousand cavalry was coming continuously, all of which were elite soldiers of the Eight Banners with helmets and armor. Although they were exhausted and panting, they were obviously able to hold on. He nodded immediately with satisfaction. It was obvious that the Eight Banners of Jingzhou still had a bit of the style of their ancestors, at least not like the trash of Jiangning.

He already knew the news of the fall of Jiangning.

And I also learned that the Immortal Lord of the God Cult with the pseudonym Yang Feng is Lin Shuangwen.

These two amazing news were delivered to Jingzhou nine days ago. Sangtua, who was shocked, immediately ran to Wuchang to discuss with Huguang Governor Shu Chang. The result was that the latter gathered the green camp to prepare for troops to Jiangning. He led Jingzhou to garrison the Eight Banners to attack Xiangyang, and used the speed advantage of the cavalry to quickly control Xiangyang before the party members of the worshippers of the God Cult raised their troops. The reason why they used the Eight Banners instead of the Green Camp was because Shu Chang had already received a secret report from the preparations for the Jing army in Anyunxiang. At least one-quarter of the soldiers of the Green Camp belonging to Yunyang Town had entered the church, and one-third of the people in Xiangyang City might also join the church. If they were transferred to Yunyang Town's green camp nearby, it would be difficult to say who those green camps would attack.

In this way, you can only use the Eight Banners.

Xiangyang cannot be misunderstood. Once the God-sected war in Xiangyang, it will be difficult for Huguang soldiers to be mobilized to Jiangning.

And the Eight Banners are definitely more reliable than the Green Camp.

Then he quickly returned to Jingzhou, assembled 4,000 cavalrymen in his army, and rushed straight to Xiangyang along the official road. Although he ran for seven days for 500 miles and the 4,000 cavalry were as tired as dogs, he still held on. By the way, this was already very rare. At this time, the Eight Banners could actually ride horses and run long distances, which would be truly elite. You should know that the Eight Banners of Jiangning used to go to Maoshan once a year, but at this time it was already so rotten that they went to Baohua Mountain. At this speed, if the entire army was not wiped out, it would be time to go to Zijin Mountain in a few years. The Eight Banners of Jingzhou could drive for 500 miles in seven days without collapse.

"My Eight Banners Athletics are still invincible!"

Santua said proudly.

He took the cigarette gun from his personal soldiers.

"Jingzhou General Sang arrived, but he didn't open the city gate immediately!"

The leader in front shouted at the city wall.

There were only a few green camps on the city wall lying on the bushes to watch the scenery, lazily looking sleepy. After hearing the call, one of them raised his head to look at the Zuoleng, and then raised a single-barrel Thousand Mileage Mileage. It was as wide as the Xiangyang moat, and it was really hard to see clearly without this thing.

"Master Gui, why are you here? Please come here later!"

The green camp then exclaimed.

"You bastard, why don't you open the door!"

Zuoling shouted angrily.

"Master Gui, it's not that the young man doesn't open the door. There are too many believers in the God Church in the city. I'm afraid that they will cooperate with the thieves from inside and outside. Several adults in the city will strictly order them not open the doors without them coming. You can wait a moment, and the young man will report to Lord Tian!"

The green camp said.

Zuoling looked at Santua. Santua, who had already been pulled, looked comfortable, but waved his hand casually.

"Get out!"

Zuoling shouted.

The green camp beat Qian'er with a smile, then turned around and walked backwards, then sat on the city wall and looked at the horse road on the city wall with a smile. There were a large number of soldiers in red uniforms standing on the city wall, with five-color stars embroidered on the chests of these soldiers. Under the city wall, a large number of young and middle-aged people were collecting their weapons under the leadership of the prefects, and boxes of flintlock rifles and bullets that had been made were constantly distributed. Then the young and strong man with the gun also walked up to the soldiers of the Holy Cult who had already been in place, and the latter took out the bullets and leaned against the bush to teach them how to load the bullets.

Xiangyang has been taken down.

There was no battle here. After receiving the quick horse notification from the Wuchang church members, Qi Lin and others immediately received the order brought by Wang Cong'er, and then sent people to Huanglongguan overnight to inform the Holy Cult Army there. The five hundred Holy Cult Army quickly loaded a raft on the horse bridge with a large amount of arms hoarded there and went down the Nanhe River. The believers in Gu County lower reaches immediately took action to conquer the county government, and then the Holy Cult Army changed into an inland river boat in Gu County and continued to go straight to Xiangyang. Last night, with the cooperation of the Xiangyang Green Camp, the defenders made no resistance. The Holy Cult believers in the Green Camp directly chopped down the generals and joined forces with the Holy Cult Army to easily attack various yamen. As for those officials...

"Old Wu, give me Lord Tian!"

The green camp said to a young man below.

The latter picked up a braided head from the corner and gave it to him.

But he was a little taller.

"What is that?"

Santua was extremely energetic. He was looking at him on the top of the city and saw the fleeting head at a glance.

Although it was just a black spot that swept past.

"No, there's a problem!"

He suddenly woke up.

He is a general in Jingzhou, several levels higher than the preparatory road of Jing Bing in An Yunxiang, the highest official in the city. Even if the latter has the order not to open the city gate, the green camp on the city wall will not have the courage to let him wait outside!

"Quick, retreat!"

Cold sweat popped out of his head in an instant, and he turned around without hesitation and shouted.

"Master Gui, Lord Tian is here!"

Almost at the same time, the green camp suddenly appeared behind the arrows, and then shouted and raised his hand. A black dot immediately flew out of his hand and flew straight towards the Zuoleng. Unfortunately, the moat in Xiangyang was too wide and fell into the river halfway.

"Mr. Gui, you don't have enough strength. You can go to the river to get the fields!"

He said apologetically.

Then he burst into laughter.

Amid his laughter, four cannons on the city wall suddenly spewed out flames, and almost at the same time, the muzzles of flintlocks stretched out arrows, and then flames and smoke kept spraying. The dense bullets and shotguns instantly passed through the moat more than a hundred meters wide, hitting the chaotic Qing army like a storm. The leader took the brunt of the bullets and fell with splashing blood in the impact. The Eight Banners elite soldiers who were also retreating also fell down more than a hundred in an instant.

"Retreat quickly, withdraw!"

Santua yelled in panic.

The soldiers of the Holy Cult Army on the city wall quickly reloaded the bullets in an orderly manner. Under their close demonstration, the strong men who had just obtained the musket also completed the loading. Of course, they did not need to fire, they just needed to hand over the muskets that had completed the loading to the soldiers of the Holy Cult Army. These soldiers who had been training for more than half a year kept aiming at the Eight Banners Army outside the city with the cover of the arrows to open fire. The modern steel pipe brown bass was far beyond the original version in terms of range and accuracy. Although the distance was more than 100 meters, the bullets of sixteen millimeter diameter still accurately drilled into the body of an Eight Banners elite soldier. The Eight Banners elite soldiers retreated in chaos and kept dropping corpses.

Fortunately, the cavalry retreated quickly. After dropping nearly four hundred corpses, Santua took his cavalry and escaped from the fire range on the city wall.

But he did not withdraw.

This loss is not enough to make him retreat.

The Qing army quickly retreated to a safe distance and set up a military camp to wait for reinforcements. There were infantry and artillery behind them. The Green Camp of the Yunyang General Headquarters was also coming. Next, there would be large groups of troops around Xiangyang, and all he needed was waiting.

And Xiangyang City is also waiting.

Zhang Cuncheng, Qi Lin and others were waiting for news of the rise of the army in other places.

The will of the Immortal Lord has long been sent to the prefects of the local tribes. The perfect teaching system has ensured their efficiency. The slogan of equalizing the land and freeing food to worship God has also been passed down. The ideal of establishing the Chinese Holy Dynasty has also been instilled. Then it depends on the actions of the believers from all over the country.

And the actions of these believers were not unexpected.

Just as Sangtua was waiting for reinforcements, one of his reinforcements, the commander of the General of Yunyang Town, suddenly mutinized when he arrived in Fang County. The believers of the Holy Sect in the army cut off the General of Yunyang without hesitation, and together with some non-believers who were aroused by the slogan of mutual fields and exemption from grain, they turned back and killed Yunyang. On the same day, Song Zhiqing, the head of the Henan University of the Holy Sect, summoned troops in the south. The general of Nanyang Town, who was originally planning to go south to reinforce Sangtua, had to lead the General of the Green Camp to turn north, but the Green Camp mutiny in the middle. The General of Nanyang and the General of Nanyang, with less than a thousand remaining subordinates, fled back to Nanyang in a hurry, and the Qing army, who shouted the slogan of mutual fields and exemption from grain, grew like a snowball.

And Santua's infantry didn't wait.

Because just when he went north to Xiangyang, the general of Yichang Town led the Green Camp to board a ship to reinforce Jiangning, the Holy Sectarian Xiong Daocheng and others raised troops in Dangyang, and Nie Jie and others raised troops in Zhijiang. Among them, Xiong Daocheng's troops even captured Dangyang County. Then the two groups joined forces to Jingzhou. The Eight Banners Infantry soldiers who had arrived in Jingmen were afraid that their families would have an accident in Jingzhou, so the deputy commander of the army ordered them to turn around and return to rescue Jingzhou. At the same time, the White Lotus Sectarian Lin Zhihua and others raised troops in Changyang. This branch was no longer a saint, but they shouted the same slogan as the Holy Sectarians.

Equalize the fields and free grain.

This slogan is too powerful.

All the Holy and White Lotus people who rose up were warmly welcomed. The poor tenants from all over the country cheered for this dream like crazy, and then couldn't wait to join the uprising team. The rebels grew like snowballs in the junction of Sichuan and Chu.

Yunyang was even conquered soon.

Nanyang was surrounded by the uprising army of Song Zhiqing.

Green camps in various places cannot fight against them at all, and most of them turn against each other or collapse at once.

But this is still just the beginning, because as time goes by, more and more people have learned the news of the Holy Church's uprising and the slogan of equalizing the fields and freeing food to worship God.
