If Guo Zixing and the others don't quickly raise their troops to respond, and wait until the Red Scarf Army completely captures Haozhou City, then Guo Zixing and the others will no longer have a say.
"Yes, dad, give the order quickly!" Guo Tianxu, the second son, also advised.
Of course Guo Zixing understands the truth. The nearly a thousand heroes gathered in his home are just waiting for this day!
"good!"
"Come on, you guys, come with me and kill the Tartars!"
Guo Zixing roared and led his nephews and nephews to rush out of the Guo family compound.
As soon as they went out, they encountered dozens of Meng Yuan officers and soldiers who were fleeing for their lives. Guo Zixing and others rushed to kill them all and chopped them down to the ground.
"Cut off the head and take it with you. This is all military merit!" Guo Zixing ordered loudly.
The eldest son Guo Tianci and others raised their swords and chopped off the heads of these Meng Yuan officers and soldiers, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, and then tied them to their waists.
Guo Zixing led the crowd in a charge and rushed towards the house of Sun Deya and others.
Now there is chaos in Haozhou City, and they must stay together to be safer.
The Meng Yuan officers and soldiers they met along the way completely lost their military morale and fled toward the west gate one by one.
After walking not far, they met the tribe led by Sun Deya and others.
"Brother Guo!"
"Brother Sun!"
As soon as Guo Zixing and Sun Deya met, they immediately joined forces.
The two of them basically had the same idea, that is, to stick together first, not only can they drive away the Meng Yuan officers and soldiers more safely, but they can also have a greater say when they take Haozhou City.
After all, they have a total strength of three to four thousand people, which can make the powerful Red Scarf Army attacking Haozhou unable to suppress local snakes like them.
"Kill with me!"
"Let's go capture the government office!"
At Guo Zixing's suggestion, everyone joined forces and rushed towards the Haozhou government office. The Mongolian and Yuan officers and soldiers along the way did not offer any strong resistance other than running away.
When they arrived at the Haozhou government office, they suddenly discovered that the Haozhou government office had been occupied by a group of red scarf troops.
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and other powerful people in Haozhou were all shocked.
Each of these red scarf troops is well-equipped and full of bravery. They are all absolutely elite.
Guo Zixing secretly thought: With such powerful elites, no wonder they can defeat Haozhou City in two days. I really don’t know what kind of hero this red scarf commander is?
"Who are you!"
When Guo Zixing and others appeared, Tang He immediately became alert.
The rebel army led by Tang He, following Zhu Chongba's instructions, captured the government office first and took control of the surrounding granaries, bank vaults and other key points.
Now a large group of troops suddenly appeared, and Tang He immediately became alert.
If it weren't for Guo Zixing and the others who were also wrapped in red scarves, Tang He would have shouted that the enemy was attacking.
When Guo Zixing saw this, he immediately walked out with a smile.
"This brother, I am Guo Zixing. Just like you, I am a Han man who killed Tartars!"
Guo Zixing introduced himself with clasped fists, and it really worked.
In Haozhou City, Guo Zixing is a well-known hero.
Naturally, Tang He had heard about it a long time ago. Zhu Qiwu had already told him to treat Guo Zixing's rebels with courtesy.
"It turns out to be the old hero Guo. I'll go in and report!"
Tang He did not dare to delay and immediately ran into the government office.
At this time, in the Haozhou government office, Zhu Chongba and Zhu Qiwu were taking inventory of the government offices' seizures.
Because they broke through the city so quickly, the defeated Meng Yuan army did not even have time to burn down the government offices and warehouses.
"Qi Wu, that's great. So much food and money are all ours!" Zhu Chongba was very happy.
Although there are still many defeated troops in Haozhou City, the overall situation has been decided.
"Brother, when the city is cleared, we must immediately open warehouses to store grain and recruit rebels. The Tartar counterattack should come soon," Zhu Qiwu said.
When attacking Haozhou City, they adopted the strategy of surrounding three and missing one, leaving the west gate open to allow the defeated troops to escape and prevent them from engaging in a trapped beast's fight.
I believe it won't be long before these defeated troops and reinforcements will come back again.
According to the captured prisoners' accounts, Daruhuachi Timur's 5,000 Mongolian cavalry were very close to Haozhou City.
"You're right, it's not safe to defend the city with just three thousand of us!" Zhu Chongba said.
For the 5,000 Mongolian troops that were about to attack, Zhu Chongba and the others could not fight a protracted war relying on the city.
First, without foreign aid, those trapped in Haozhou would eventually die.
Second, as time goes by, the Mongolian and Yuan court will only have more and more troops. After all, here in Huaixi, Zhu Chongba and the others were the first Red Turban Army to attack the city, and the Mongols will definitely focus on destroying them.
"However, there is no need to worry too much about the strength of the troops. Several powerful men in Haozhou have a lot of troops and can help us fight." Zhu Qiwu said.
"You mean Guo Zixing and others?" Zhu Chongba said.
"Yes, it's them." Zhu Qiwu nodded.
"This makes sense, but they have been silent. Will they not dare to join the rebels?"
Zhu Chongba said with some doubts.
Regarding this issue, Zhu Qiwu was not worried at all.
In history, Guo Zixing and others were unambiguous after the Red Scarf Army uprising, and they immediately raised troops to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty.
There is no movement yet, maybe because Zhu Chongba and the others moved too fast and haven't reacted yet.
Anyway, no matter what, Guo Zixing will definitely join the rebel army.
If he didn't join the rebel army, how could his brother Zhu Chongba marry the virtuous and generous Ma Xiuying?
She was a virtuous queen of a generation, and her role for her elder brother Zhu Chongba was no less important than that of an important adviser.
"Brother, Guo Zixing and the others will definitely join the rebel army. Let's just wait."
When Zhu Qiwu said this, he suddenly thought of a question.
He then said: "Brother, now that we have captured Haozhou City, you are now the commander-in-chief of the army. Shouldn't you change your name?"
"Change the name, what name? Isn't our name pretty good!" Zhu Chongba was a little reluctant.
"Brother, our names, which are heavy eight and seventy-five, sound like they are trying to fool us. If our family hadn't been so poor, our father would have paid a gentleman to help him choose a serious name!" Zhu Qiwu said.
.
Their names are terrible names that are characteristic of the times.
It is rumored in later generations that the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty oppressed the Han people and did not allow ordinary people to name them. They only allowed names based on various rankings and numbers, so there were names with double eight and double nine.
In fact, this is definitely a misunderstanding, and it even unfairly accuses the Mongols.
During the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, even the emperor's name was not particular about taboos. How could he care about the names given by the Han people?
It's even less possible that when you're so idle, you have to set up a system that doesn't allow lowly people to take names.
Zhu Qiwu clearly remembered that his brother Zhu Chongba once said that their great-grandfather was called Zhu Bailiu, their great-grandfather was called Zhu Sijiu, and their grandfather was called Zhu Chuyi.
