The location of Sanshui County is really terrible. If the officers and soldiers attack Pingliang Mansion from Sanshui County, Wang Jiayin will only be beaten passively.
Of course, if the peasant army is willing to put Wang Jiayin in danger and concentrate on seizing Xi'an Mansion, the officers and soldiers can only stare. In fact, this is fighting for their lives, and it depends on who can't withstand the pressure first. Obviously, the peasant army was defeated by the officers and soldiers.
I was a little panicked. As for Fengxiang Prefecture, Gao Yingxiang divided his troops into two groups. Li Zicheng and Li Yangchun attacked Xi'an Prefecture. For Xi'an Prefecture, Gao Yingxiang's troops were assigned new opportunities. Now they have to withdraw and protect Liang Prefecture. Naturally, they are a little unwilling.
.
Gao Yingxiang really wanted to continue the offensive. In his opinion, Wang Jiayin could completely withdraw to the northwest, and the officers and soldiers would not be able to do anything to her for a while. Unfortunately, Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang had completely different ideas. Since the fall of Sanshui County,
Wang Ziyong didn't even say hello, and withdrew from the attack and defense of Xianyang without authorization. Looking at the strength of Xianyang's troops, Xianyang was not tempted, so he sent his troops to attack Sanshui County.
Without the cooperation of Wang Ziyong, it is not impossible for Gao Yingxiang to attack Xi'an Prefecture independently, but if he does that, even if he takes Xi'an Prefecture, the casualties will inevitably be considerable. Strength means the right to speak, and the struggle for power within the Peasant Army is also extremely fierce.
Although it is very similar to taking Xi'an Mansion, preserving strength is more important.
Similarly, Wang Ziyong returned to Sanshui County without hesitation because of his own interests. Since Gao Yingxiang joined, Wang Ziyong's status has become worse day by day. With Li Zicheng's joining, Gao Yingxiang's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, stabilizing pressure.
If they hadn't been the first to follow Wang Jiayin in raising troops, they were all old brothers, and they would have been stepped on by Gao Yingxiang long ago.
Wang Jiayin was his biggest backer, so nothing could happen to him. In order to ensure that he could win Sanshui County, Wang Ziyong assembled the most capable team under his command.
Wang Ziyong didn't dare to count on Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang was very ambitious. If something went wrong with Chief Wang, he would benefit the most. With the heavy troops mobilized, it was inevitable that many of Ganquan City's defenders would be transferred away.
As a result, Ganquan City's defense became much weaker. Of course Wang Ziyong knew the consequences of doing so, but he couldn't care about anything else. Retaking Sanshui County first was the most important thing to ensure the safety of the rear.
The fall of Sanshui County affected the whole body. After some troops and horses from Ganquan City were mobilized, the officers and soldiers heard the news and began to attack Ganquan City from two directions. The attack force of the officers and soldiers was extremely fierce. Zhang Damou knew that there was no benefit in fighting, so in order to avoid
Trapped in the city, he could only lead his troops to evacuate Ganquan and head south. The officers and soldiers would not let Zhang Damou go easily, and chased him all the way to Yaozhou.
Zhang Damou was so frightened that he thought the officers and soldiers were crazy and bent on killing him. In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to flee from Yaozhou to Fuping, hoping to rely on the Suishui River to stop the officers and soldiers. But the peasant army was sucking water.
After He arranged his position, he heard a shocking news. The officers and soldiers' vanguard cavalry did not attack Fuping, but suddenly turned to the southwest and attacked Yunyang County in the southwest.
Yunyang County is usually inconspicuous, but from Yunyang County to the southwest, you can reach Xianyang City in less than an hour. By this time, even a fool can see the intentions of the officers and soldiers.
The real purpose of the officers and soldiers was not to hunt down Zhang Damou's remaining soldiers, but to sneak attack Yingshan Honghua Xiaorong's headquarters stationed in the east of Xianyang.
Hua Xiaorong was previously ordered to cooperate with Wang Ziyong's troops to attack Xianyang City, but because Wang Ziyong withdrew immediately, Hua Xiaorong was the only one left in the east of Xianyang. Originally, there was no danger here, because now
The officers and soldiers were either in Xi'an City or following Cao Wenzhao into Sanshui County, so the peasant army near Xianyang City became the safest.
But who would have thought that the officers and soldiers of Yan'an Prefecture would chase after Zhang Damou and suddenly kill him? Hua Xiaorong was not wary at all. In addition, there were only more than 2,000 people under his command. If they came into contact with the cavalry under Li Jiasheng's command, then
It will definitely fail miserably.
Hua Xiaorong was so angry that he originally wanted to see Zhang Damou's excitement, but the officers and soldiers came towards him. Fortunately, Li Yangchun's order came quickly, ordering Hua Xiaorong to evacuate from the outskirts of Xianyang to the vicinity of Fengxiang Mansion.
Hua Xiaorong didn't dare to think too much about being able to retreat. At this time, a strange scene occurred near Xi'an Mansion. Gao Yingxiang's troops, who clearly had the advantage, retreated to the west in batches. Hua Xiaorong was just one of them.
The siege of Xi'an Mansion was broken in this way, which also meant that the dangerous tactics of Lou Daji and others were effective.
Unlike Xi'an City, Sanshui County was facing a siege by a large number of peasant armies. Wang Ziyong risked his life to recapture Sanshui County.
Zhang Cunmeng, Heavenly Monkey Liu Jiusi, Monk Wang and others were ordered to attack Sanshui County from several directions. Wang Ziyong did not play any tricks of surrounding three and missing one. As soon as he came up, he surrounded the city on all sides. His posture clearly meant that he wanted to attack Sanshui County.
He swallowed up Cao Wenzhao's troops in the city.
Wang Ziyong was so angry, and if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. Before, the peasant army had the advantage, and when they saw that the city of Xi'an was about to be captured, Cao Wenzhao suddenly came out like this, which directly disrupted all arrangements.
.....
In Fengxiang Mansion, the original government office, crackling sounds of beatings could be heard in the hall, and a few shouts and curses could be heard from time to time.
Gao Yingxiang waved his arms and roared gloomily. Li Zicheng, Li Yangchun, Wang Yan and others all stood aside in silence, not daring to make a sound. In the past six months, as the power in his hands has grown, Gao Yingxiang has also become cold and stern.
He has changed a lot and is no longer as approachable and amiable as before. Gao Yingxiang has an innate hostility.
Can Gao Yingxiang not be angry? It has only been two hours, and Wang Jiayin has already sent four orders, all of which ordered Gao Yingxiang to send troops to help Wang Ziyong capture Sanshui County. It is only a Sanshui County, comparable to the city of Xi'an
What?
To recapture Sanshui County, the king himself is enough. Does he need so many soldiers and horses? After being sulky for a long time, Gao Yingxiang sat in a chair and snorted: "Headman Wang is good at everything, but he is a little too cautious. Cao Wen
Five thousand people were killed by the imperial edict. Even if they occupy Sanshui County, can they still threaten the life of the leader Wang? Xi'an Mansion is about to achieve a world-shattering achievement. I didn't expect the leader Wang to be so short-sighted."
Li Zicheng and others were familiar with Gao Yingxiang's temper, and no one dared to answer. Niu Jinxing, who was standing next to him, said calmly: "Why should King Chuang be angry? In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Leader Wang did."
As soon as he said this, Li Zicheng was furious. Gao Yingxiang even narrowed his eyes, and his eyes swept over Niu Jinxing's face like a knife. Niu Jinxing stood up straight, with a calm look, and seemed not to notice Gao Yingxiang's eyes.
Seeing that Niu Jinxing was like this, Gao Yingxiang held back his anger and asked in a nonchalant manner: "What do you mean by Mr. Niu's words? Is it possible that Gao has made a mistake by working so hard these days?"
