    Xie Yi and Wang Bao were important figures in Wan'antang, and they had already planned to start an uprising in Jiangnan.

    The two men¡¯s rebellion in Kunshan was both premeditated and unplanned.  The timing of the previous rebellion had always been inappropriate, and the two people were not fully prepared. However, the two people who were planning the rebellion did not expect that Yu Shicheng's investigation of the case would directly upset the tables of Jiangnan people, and also stir up the anger of Jiangnan people.  anger.

    Seeing this, the two were overjoyed and took the opportunity to hijack a large number of people and create this rebellion.

    Both of them were subordinates of Xiao Wei, the governor of Wuzhou in Nanchen.  Xiao Qi was the third son of the Western Liang Emperor Xiao Kui. After the fall of Nanchen, he refused to surrender to the Sui Dynasty and was supported by the Wu people.  Later, Yuwenshu led an army to conquer Wuzhou and captured Xiao Qi alive.  Xie Yi and Wang Bao also hid among the people after the defeat, but luckily they were not captured.

    Wang Bao is a talented general under Xiao Gu. He is brave and good at military affairs.

    Xie Yi was a famous sorcerer in the south of the Yangtze River. He was "very knowledgeable about waste and prosperity." During the reign of Liang and Chen, almost every prediction he made was verified, so he became famous and deeply respected by people in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Therefore, this time the two men started an uprising in Jiangnan, attracting countless people to follow them.

    After the two men occupied Kunshan City, they raised a rebel flag and recruited troops. The number of people who responded reached tens of thousands. They took advantage of the situation to besiege Wuzhou City.

    Liu Quan, the governor of Wuzhou, was also a cadre. Although his troops were stretched thin, he and Wang Zengbian, the chariot general of the Wuzhou Hsiao Prefecture, were able to secure the city of Wuzhou.  Wang Bao led his army to attack several times but was defeated, so he stationed his troops under the city and prepared to besiege.

    On the evening of October 18th, Huang Mingyuan's troops traveled more than 400 miles and arrived at the gate of Wuzhou City.

    After the siege of Yanling City was lifted that day, in addition to the remaining troops, Huang Mingyuan divided the remaining main force into two, and led the navy and infantry, totaling 8,000 people, with General Lai Hu'er on the right and left, and marched down the river from the south of the Yangtze River to the south;  Huang Mingyuan led 3,000 elite cavalry and marched overland to Wuzhou.

    The army advanced rapidly, aiming directly at Wuzhou, passing through prefectures and counties without entering. Even if it encountered rebels, it only defeated them and did not pursue the victory.

    Huang Mingyuan knows very well that Wuzhou is the core of Jiangnan.  Wuzhou is safe, Jiangnan is safe; if Wuzhou is captured by the rebels, the morale of the rebels will be greatly enhanced. At that time, more people will take the opportunity to jump out to cause chaos, and the unrest in Jiangnan will further worsen.

    Huang Mingyuan did not take the rebels seriously, and his three thousand cavalry went straight to Wuzhou City. At this time, neither Xie Yi nor Wang Bao expected that Sui reinforcements would arrive so quickly, so they were unprepared.

    Huang Mingyuan arrived more than ten miles away from Wuzhou City and stopped advancing.  At this time, the Sui army's scouts were out in all directions, but found nothing. Only then did Huang Mingyuan realize that the rebels had not defended themselves against the reinforcements from the north of Wuzhou at all.  At this time, the Sui army's reinforcements were so close to Wuzhou City that the other side did not even send scouts to patrol.

    Huang Mingyuan was determined, so he personally led more than ten cavalry forward to observe the enemy's situation.

    Huang Mingyuan climbed to a high ground northwest of Wuzhou City and looked at Wuzhou City.  Xiong Kuohai handed over a monocular telescope, and Huang Mingyuan took it in his hand and looked at the rebel camp opposite.

    ¡°Although there were many rebels, they were nothing but a mob. Their camps were several miles apart, and their men, horses, and food were mixed together. The camp was in chaos, and there wasn¡¯t even a basic fence for defense.

    And these rebels are focused on attacking the city and have almost no defense against the outside.  Elites and cannon fodder were mixed together, and behind them was a large camp with both soldiers and civilians.  Such an army, even if it consists of 100,000 people in front of the elite, can only collapse at the first touch and is simply not enough to fight.

    Huang Mingyuan was relieved. It seemed that the rebel uprising was still short-lived and they had not completed the initial reorganization of the people.

    Huang Mingyuan returned to the army and ordered General Mai Tiezhang to be the vanguard. He also ordered his elite troops to form an arrow formation and rush straight to the rebel camp.

    The distance of more than ten miles was reached almost in the blink of an eye under the full galloping of the cavalry.

    The Sui army¡¯s cavalry galloped straight towards the rebels to kill them.  The rebel camp on the front was almost undefended for the Sui army, so they quickly rushed into the camp.

    Tens of thousands of rebels were horrified when they saw the Sui army charging in. No one could stop them, and the entire formation was immediately dispersed by the Sui army.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered people to set fire to the rebel camp again.  In the rebel camp, smoke and flames towered into the sky, and tents of all sizes were burning.  The fire follows the wind, and the wind assists the power of the fire. The more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes.  The rebels were in chaos and fled in all directions.

    It turns out that the entire camp is made of reeds, and the rebels are disorderly in the camp, so the entire camp is full of hidden dangers.  Huang Mingyuan took the opportunity to set off a fire, turning the huge rebel camp into a sea of ??flames.

    These rebels have not yet completed their transformation from common people to the army, so when they saw this tragic situation, they all cried for their fathers and mothers, panicked, and did not know how to resist at all.Seeing this, Wang Bao had no choice but to order Li Leng, his first brave general, to lead the few hundred cavalry in his army to stop the enemy.

    Li Leng is a native of Qingliu County. He was once a highly intelligent subordinate who claimed to be the emperor in Kuaiji. Now that he received the order, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the Sui army.

    These cavalry headquarters of the rebels have not been systematically trained. They can bully some local soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, but how can they confront the northern goblin cavalry.

    As soon as the two sides met, more than ten rebel cavalry fell from their horses.

    Li Leng rushed into the army with a long spear in his hand, and met the iron staff head-on.

    Mai Tiezhang held a big spear in his hand and shouted: "Do you recognize my Mai Tiezhang?"

    Mai Tiezhang was born as a slave in Nanchen. He once held an umbrella for the emperor and was famous for his bravery.  Gu Shilue also knew Mai Tiezhang at the beginning. When Mai Tiezhang followed Yang Su on the southern expedition, Mai Tiezhang was caught by bandits during his reconnaissance. Li Leng sent thirty sergeants to escort him. During the escort, Mai Tiezhang took the sergeant's knife.  They hacked the escorting sergeants randomly until they were all killed, then cut off their noses one by one and returned home with them in their arms.

    Therefore, when Li Leng heard the name of Mai Tiezhang and remembered the tragic situation of the sergeant at that time, he actually trembled all over.

    At this time, there was no room for Li Leng to lose consciousness. The two horses of the two sides crossed each other, and their weapons collided. Li Leng was stabbed in the chest by the wheat iron staff, fell off his horse, and died immediately.

    Seeing the death of Li Leng, the most powerful general in the army, Wang Bao, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was already stupid.  Although Wang Bao was also brave, he was not a good general.  When Xiao Wei was defeated, Wang Bao, who was stationed in Wuzhou City, saw that the situation was not good, so he changed into Taoist clothes and abandoned the city and fled.  So at this time, his hands and feet were cold, his whole body was shaking, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

    As for Xie Yi, since he is a weakling, it is okay to let him make plans, but if he is allowed to lead troops, it will be difficult for him.

    Therefore, the rebels no longer have the ability to turn the tide until they collapse.

    Liu Quan, who was in the city at this time, also discovered the arrival of reinforcements. Seeing the victory of the reinforcements, he was overjoyed and without hesitation, he immediately ordered Wang Zengbian to open the city gate and lead his troops to pursue the defeated rebels.

    This one-sided battle lasted until night. The rebels were defeated. Only a thousand soldiers followed Wang Bao and Xie Yi back to their home base in Kunshan. The rest of the rebels were annihilated by the Sui army.

    At this point, the siege of Wuzhou City has been solved.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
