Chapter 1235 The failure of Longzhou

Insurgents appeared in the four areas where the first troops were dispatched, and they were very close to Chengdu.

According to the reports of the sentinels, the sizes of the four rebel armies were different.

The smaller Huaian Army uprising army gathered more than 3 people, and the number of combat soldiers was more than 2000 but less than 3000.

The largest one is the Longzhou Uprising Army, with more than 7000 people and more than [-] combat soldiers, which is relatively large in scale.

This uprising army started from the December [-]th year of Hongwu. It took more than two months to completely defeat the resistance of Longzhou officials, killed more than [-]% of Longzhou officials, and occupied all Longzhou counties.

Their leader called himself the Great General of Xingshu, and threatened to "take care of the injustices in the world". In addition to being fair, they were also fair. Therefore, they were strongly supported by the people of Longzhou, and their power became stronger and stronger, which was equivalent to sabotage under Zhao Buxi's eyelids. .

While fighting with the local landlord Lao Cai, he was able to divide his troops to attack Guangdu, which shows that his power is huge.

Needless to say, it was a good move for Zhao Buxi to add feudal landlords and veterans as commanders.

Facing the rebel army, the old and wealthy landlords wouldn't honestly explain their property, and they didn't want to be made into a pendant on the southeast branch. They always felt that they could save it.

Therefore, they concentrated on the care of the housekeepers and the ignorant tenants who fought hard to fight the rebel army. They were very tenacious and their fighting spirit was overwhelming, no less than the rebel army.

The insurgent army in many areas has not left the local area after fighting for nearly three months, because the local landlords and old wealth are powerful, their combat effectiveness is relatively strong, and their stamina is relatively strong.

The confrontation between them caused many rebels to fall into a more tragic tug-of-war between offense and defense. The old and wealthy landlords guarded their farms and built defensive facilities such as military fortresses based on the terrain, and fought protracted battles with the rebels.

The insurgent army had just risen, and they did not know much about military issues. They often lacked offensive strategies. They only knew how to kill people, and their offensive efficiency was not high.

This status quo bought time for Wu Lin to dispatch troops and arrange tactics, and it was also one of the few good things that Zhao Bunyi did.

He still has the political ability, but in the military, even Zhao Kuo has to bow down and be treated as a guest of honor.

So when the main force of the Song army was dispatched, facing the insurgent army fighting on two fronts, the Song army made a good start.

The first is in the Guangdu area where the Longzhou Uprising Army took the initiative to attack.

The Song army in Guangdu held the city and did not give the Longzhou uprising army a chance to break through Guangdu. The Longzhou uprising army maintained an offensive posture and besieged the city of Guangdu on all sides.

There were 1 Song troops supporting Longzhou. The commander of the army was Wu Lin's subordinate, who was more brave in combat. He led the army to challenge the rebel army with a small group of troops after they arrived near Guangdu, pretending to be defeated, and induced Part of the rebel army attacked him.

Then the insurgent army was ambushed by him and surrounded by the elites he personally commanded. After a hard battle, the insurgent army was completely annihilated by him.

The Song army was victorious in the first battle, and his morale was boosted. He immediately led the army to take the initiative to attack, and defeated a part of the Longzhou uprising army that surrounded Guangdu.

The morale of the Song army defenders in the city was greatly boosted, and they opened the city gate to attack, and cooperated with him inside and outside to annihilate the rebel army.

After Lu Zousheng, he let the army rest for two days, and then led the army to continue south to attack Longzhou.

The Longzhou Uprising Army was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Song army.

When the Song army broke into Longzhou to conquer the city and quickly rushed to Renshou County to encircle Renshou County, the main force of the Longzhou uprising army was under the leadership of [Xingshu General] Ma Long. coalition.

Thirteen local landlords, including Zhao, Liu, Jiang, Wang, etc., had heard that the Longzhou uprising was powerful, and many people died because of it. He made a non-aggression pact.

You don't come to beat us, and we don't rebel against you, give you gifts, pay taxes, and just ask for peace.

But Malone was an oppressed peasant from an oppressed peasant background, and he hated the landlords the most. He categorically rejected their proposal and decisively led the army to attack them, vowing to uproot them.

They have rebelled, and what are they playing with you?
What a joke!
The thirteen landlords were afraid of being hung up on the Southeast Branch by the insurgent army. In order to survive, they abandoned their previous suspicions and unanimously decided to form an alliance, and elected Jiang Meng, the most combative of them, as the leader of the alliance, and mobilized all of them. The strength fought against the Longzhou Uprising Army.

They gave money to people, and forged weapons to forge weapons. In a short period of time, they assembled a force that could fight, and then used the food saved by each family as military rations, trying to keep the homes of the thirteen families. Industry, vowed to fight Malone to the end.

Ma Long was invincible at the beginning of the incident. The main reason was not that he and his peasant soldiers were able to fight more, but that the incident happened suddenly. Many people were unprepared and were caught off guard. In addition, they did not have the courage to fight. Therefore, a lot of people were taken away by Malone.

Whether it was an official or an old landlord, in his desperate attack mode, he punched the old master to death, and he died miserably.

And these thirteen landlords were fully prepared, and they had the courage to protect their property. They could take advantage of the geographical advantage and could not defend them. Malone suffered many setbacks in his attacks, and he could not do anything about them for a while.

Originally thought that this was just a wave of things, but I didn't expect the unexpected tenacity of the thirteen landlords, and Ma Long failed to take them away in one wave, but was dragged by them.

Because he didn't have enough troops, he continued to increase his troops, and finally the rebel army gathered in Guiping County reached more than 4000 people, and the main force was basically restrained in Guiping County.

Under such circumstances, Ma Long divided his troops to attack Chengdu Mansion at the suggestion of his subordinates, because he felt that he had to go forward to call more people to fight with him. Although the attack on Guiping was blocked, it did not mean that he could not. Continue to fight.

When the uprising army revolted, it needed continuous victories to stabilize people's hearts. Although Ma Long was not a professional, when he was pushed to this position by the tide of the times, he also instinctively realized the importance of victory to himself.

So he chose to expand the offensive surface.

However, this is not the right choice.

So when the Song army attacked Longzhou on a large scale, he seemed at a loss. He learned that the base camp in Renshou County was surrounded by the Song army.

Your subordinates said what I said, and said that we should continue to attack the old wealthy, so as to relieve our worries, and some said that we should immediately return to the Renshou Base Camp to rescue the base camp, because our family members are all there.

The two sides argued fiercely, and they couldn't come up with a plan for a long time. Ma Long couldn't make a decision after thinking about it. In the end, he decided to leave a team to continue to attack the thirteen families, and rushed back to rescue Renshou County with the main force.

No doubt it was the wrong call, but Malone didn't know it.

He was also very worried about his family, so he led his people to run all the way to Renshou County, but he didn't expect that the cunning Lu had personally led his troops to ambush him on his only path.

Finally, more than 30 miles east of Renshou County, when his troops were exhausted and about to rest, the Song army ambushed and besieged his troops on all sides.

His troops were suddenly attacked like this, collapsed quickly, and were soon divided and surrounded by the Song army and wiped out.

Malone fought bloody battle with his own soldiers to the last moment.

All the personal soldiers around him died in the battle. He was surrounded by the Song Legion and still fought hard. In the end, he perished with a Song soldier and died heroically.
