Rear loading guns and cannons are the core links that Lin Ziran is scheduled to use to establish equipment advantages.

As long as his Sixth Division is equipped with rear-loading weapons, even with his current strength, he will dare to directly challenge the other feudal towns, and finally take the entire Luo'an County.

So even if the cost will be huge, he will not hesitate to build a large arsenal for this purpose.

When Lin Ziran continued to toss in Lianguan County, the situation in Luo'an County also continued to change, and by February, the four major feudal towns in Luo'an County had finally reached a consensus and sent troops to Guang'an together.

Even Lin Ziran ostensibly promised that Feng Haozhong would send troops from Nanguangcheng to the north to intercept the reinforcements of the Guang'an people.

But whether to send troops or not at that time is another matter, and Lin Ziran will have to look at the development of the situation and make different choices at that time.

He agreed on the surface, just to reassure Feng Haozhong and them, and finally started fighting.

As long as they fight, Lin Ziran can develop with peace of mind, and at the same time, he can reap some benefits.

When the four feudal towns ostensibly reached an agreement, formal military operations began.

Jian Minggang sent about 10,000 people north to participate in the battle, led by Jian Liangzhi, and awarded the number of the 7th Division.

This 7th Division would theoretically join forces with Feng Haozhong's 3rd Division and launch an attack from south to north against the Guang'an people in Pingdan County from Lingchang County.

At the same time, Zhao Song sent a large mixed brigade of about 7,000 men to attack from west to east from Yonggu County.

The reason why they sent troops to directly participate in the war was naturally to let Feng Haozhong launch the Northern Expedition with confidence, and then launch their own plans.

However, this has nothing to do with Lin Ziran, although Lin Ziran promised to intercept the reinforcements, but in fact he did not move.

It wasn't until after the battle in Pingdan County started that Lin Ziran pretended to send the Third Cavalry Company north, but in fact it was just a reconnaissance, and he would not make contact with the Guang'an people at all.

At the same time, he also said that there is still a Guang'an army of several thousand people more than 20 kilometers north of Nanguang City, and if he rushes north, he will easily run into trouble, and he said that on the other side of the Luo River are the Guang'an people of Pingdan County, who may cross the Luo River at any time to attack Lianguan County, and they must guard Sanyang Town and other coastal areas.

In short, it is dragging and not sending troops.

Lin Ziran was going to wait and see for a while.

Subsequently, the battle in Pingdan County also began to become fierce, from the time Li Kun sent people to find Lin Ziran, Lin Ziran could guess that Li Kun's department, which was at the forefront of the Guang'an army, fought very hard.

Now there are more than 20,000 people under Feng Haozhong's department, plus 10,000 people under Jian Liangzhi's department, a total of more than 30,000 troops to attack head-on, and at the same time, a large mixed brigade sent by Zhao Song to attack in the west.

In the face of attacks from both sides, Li Kun's troops were defeated and retreated.

But the next development of the battle made Lin Ziran a little incomprehensible, because the north of Li Kun's department, especially the Third Army of Du Zhikuan's department stationed in the Nan'an area, did not show the slightest sign of southward reinforcements.

Instead, he began to shrink his forces and quickly retreated northward, gaining Chongguang Castle.

The reconnaissance cavalry he sent out reported that even the 11th Brigade of the Third Army, which had been stationed on the bank of the Luo River north of Nanguang City, had retreated directly.

What's going on?

Du Zhikuan sold Li Kun?

But even if he sells Du Zhikuan, what good will it do him?

Even if they have disputes with each other, they all belong to the same Guang'an army system, and once Li Kun is destroyed, Feng Haozhong will unite with other feudal towns to go north, and then attack with a large number of heavy artillery, even if it is the defense line of Chongguangcheng, it will not be able to bear it.

In the spring of last year, Feng Haozhong had just conquered Chongguang City once, and it was possible to do it again.

Not to mention that Lin Ziran couldn't understand this situation, even Li Kun himself was stunned.

"Du Zhikuan, you dare to pit me!" When Li Kun learned that the Third Army was not going south to reinforce but retreating north, the whole person was not good.

Anger instantly filled his heart!

"It's all bullying Lao Tzu, it's easy to bully when Lao Tzu!"

"Come on, send someone to send a letter to that Du Zhikuan, telling him that if he doesn't come to help Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will immediately turn around and join forces with Feng Haozhong to fight Guangcheng!"

"By the way, send someone to Feng Haozhong and Jian Liangzhi to send a letter to the past, just say that Lao Tzu is willing to join forces with them!"

In Chongguang City, after receiving Li Kun's letter, Du Zhikuan smiled, and then tore the letter directly!

"Lao Tzu has already joined forces with Feng Haozhong, then there is still a chance for you!"

"At the beginning, he said not to go to the muddy waters of Luo'an County, he Li Kun had to go, and he also occupied Pingdan County and refused to go, so Feng Haozhong was really muddy!"

"Compared with just one Pingdan County and the entire Guang'an County, I, Du Zhikuan, would rather have this Guang'an County!"

At this time, a young general under his command walked over: "My lord, the time is almost up, the cavalry troops have set off in advance, and we should also set off!" ”

Du Zhikuan said: "Well, since that's the case, then let's go!" ”

"Let the forward cavalry hurry up, don't be afraid of losses, and directly attack Linyang, separating the front and rear of the First Army."

"We must take this opportunity to completely end the chaos in Guang'an."

"In addition, Chongguangcheng's side can't relax, Feng Haozhong's man is as cunning as a fox, although we have reached an agreement, but won't he raid Chongguangcheng, let the 11th Brigade and the Fourth Heavy Artillery Battalion have more eyes, and give Lao Tzu to defend Chongguangcheng!"

"No matter how Feng Haozhong and Li Kun fight over there, as long as we block Chongguang City, they won't be able to affect the situation in our Guang'an County!"

"But if Chongguang City is breached, the situation will be difficult to manage."

The young general said: "Don't worry too much, my lord, the eleventh brigade is full of old brothers, and there is a heavy artillery battalion to assist in defense, even if they want to attack Chongguang City, they will have to spend a lot of time preparing for war, I dare not say it for a long time, but there should be no problem in a month." ”

Du Zhikuan nodded and said, "One month is enough!" ”

In the southern part of Pingdan County, Feng Haozhong stood on a hill looking north, where his troops were engaged in a fierce battle with Li Kun's troops.

Jiang Xiaqing stepped forward and said: "My lord, that Li Kun has sent a letter again, and it is still the same as before, saying that he is willing to join forces with us to counterattack Chongguang City, and promised Pingdan and Nan'an counties. ”

Feng Haozhong shook his head: "It's late, it's this time, Li Kun has no value to us!" ”

"Pass the order down, let the troops hurry up and launch the final general attack."

"Also, those prisoners of war who are willing to continue to serve in the army will be directly replenished to the army on the spot!"

Jiang Xia Qingdao: "These are already being done, if everything goes well, when the Pingdan war is understood, we will be able to expand the army by at least another 5,000 people, but!" ”

"The situation on the Seventh Division next door is unknown, and they have already made excuses for not participating in the attack since yesterday!"

Feng Haozhong said: "No matter what kid Jian Liangzhi is, if it is his Lao Tzu Jian Minggang who personally comes over with an army of thirty or forty thousand, I will still be afraid of one or two, but only this seventh division has less than 10,000 people, hum!" ”

"Stabilize him first, and after we clean up this Li Kun first, we will directly turn around and kill this seventh division, I want to see if this Jian Minggang will personally lead the army to the north in order to save his son!"

While the two were discussing, someone from outside suddenly came to report: "My lord, someone from the Seventh Division has called!" ”

Hearing this, Feng Haozhong instantly frowned!

And Li Kun in the north laughed directly after watching the 3rd and 7th divisions of Luo'an outside the town turn against each other in an instant.

After laughing wildly, Li Kun ordered: "Keep in touch with the Seventh Division, and then order the whole army to launch a counterattack!" ”

"They all bully Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with!"
