Luo Xin took out his pocket watch from his bosom and looked at the time, and then he ordered the soldiers to blow the horn of the attack.

For him, there are not too many challenges to make it all the way.

The Battle of Lin'an City did buy the Merchant Council a little time to stabilize in the south, but it was only a little, and in such a vast area, the control of the Merchant Council could be said to be extremely weak.

In many cases, it is just that the wealthy clans in a certain city have taken refuge in the merchant council, and they have changed their banners after some tribals, and the combat effectiveness of these wealthy clans is only the level of the cold weapon army ten years ago.

In the face of their muskets and artillery, it would be good for these nobles to resist for an hour, and many times he was able to recover a county town with just a thousand men, and a state-level city with three thousand.

For example, in the current Nanchang City, the soldiers under his command are only 8,000 now, and the rest are all sent by him to attack other states and counties at the same time.

After all, relatively speaking, the influence of the merchant council in this region is still very weak, and it is Lu Fei's way that is difficult.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As the roar of artillery rang out, the Nanchang city gate was reduced to powder in the explosion, while the soldiers stood in three rows, holding their guns and shooting at the soldiers on the city wall.

However, the Nanchang soldiers on the city wall did not have any weapons to threaten them, and this method of warfare almost became the norm.

They're just shooting at the target.

One by one, the soldiers on the Nanchang city wall fell from the wall, and chaos soon appeared on the city wall, these soldiers had never experienced such an unbelievable war.

The legend from the north has become a reality, and now they just want to live.

"Rush!"

As the order was given, the soldiers rushed into Nanchang City without hurry, but as soon as they entered the city, they found some soldiers carrying white flags walking towards them.

They were not surprised by this situation, in fact this is what they taught, and before each siege they would always threaten them to surrender under a white flag.

If the opponent does not accept it, he will attack.

Passing past these surrendered soldiers, the royal soldiers immediately rushed into the city, and as usual, they immediately searched for the members of the council in the city, and captured the wealthy who supported the council, after all, if a city was thrown into the merchant council, it must be that most of the wealthy families in the city chose the merchant council.

Luo Xin, escorted by his own guards, entered the city, and he shouted to the division commander under his command: "Search carefully, you can't let go of a tael of silver from the Hao family, think about the canned food you eat, think about the grenades hanging from your waists, you won't have anything without silver." “

Luo Xin's words made the soldiers more and more excited, and now it had become their habit to confiscate the property of the wealthy before entering a city, and they were willing to join the merchant council with more wealthy people.

Then they would have a reason to deprive them of their wealth.

Easily took Nanchang, Luo Xin unfolded the map, according to the current plan, the next step is Changsha, and then he will go all the way to Guangzhou to meet Lu Fei.

Closing the map, he yelled, "Hurry, hurry, the rest will be left to the officials, and we will continue south." ”

At the same time as they went south, the officials led by Fiji received the cities they captured one by one, many of these southern cities used to belong to the royal administration, and many local officials had entered Beijing to meet Xiao Wenxuan, and they were also very familiar with these important ministers of Fiji.

Therefore, everywhere Fiji went, it would look for local officials from poor backgrounds or good officials according to the roster, and re-establish the government.

Because of this, they were able to quickly and steadily capture the cities, and for some important cities they also chose to garrison them to prevent them from falling back into the hands of the enemy.

On October 11, after a short rest, Luo Xin led his troops southward, and in three months he conquered Changsha, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Chenzhou, and Shaozhou, and arrived at the city of Guangzhou in mid-January of the following year.

At this time, Lu Fei also conquered Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, and Huizhou successively and arrived at the city of Guangzhou.

"Hahaha, Luo Xin!"

Under the city of Guangzhou, Lu Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed, since they went south, they had been fighting a year of war, and now they had taken most of the territory controlled by the merchant council, and they were advancing all the way.

In front of you, it is the largest and most prosperous Guangzhou occupied by the Merchant Council, as long as it conquers here, the Merchant Council will no longer have a place to stand, and the rest of the war can no longer become a war, it can only be called a bandit.

"Lu Fei." Luo Xin walked towards Lu Fei, the two patted each other's shoulders, he looked at the dusty but extremely refined soldiers behind Lu Fei and said: "Many of them are new faces, it seems that this group of recruits has become veterans." ”

"No, in order to take the south as soon as possible, batches of recruits went to the battlefield, and now they have all become elites." Lu Fei said with a smile.

Luo Xin nodded, not only Lu Fei, but he also brought out a lot of officers from the Army Academy along the way, and the recruits have now become old oilers.

However, he was very glad that he had already understood a truth when he studied at the Army Academy, and sometimes the competition in war is comprehensive strength.

This war was destined to be crushing from the beginning, first, this was a war of royal unification, not an alien invasion, and the resistance of the people was not very fierce.

It is those who fight them desperately for fear of losing their status and wealth.

Moreover, the thoroughness of Chudi's reform has made many people who see it see the benefits of following the royal family, on the contrary, the merchant council has done a lot of dirty things in the past year.

After all, the members of the council are complicated, there are no people, and some council members are not much stronger than bandits, and many people hate this.

Second, areas that are predominantly agricultural are no match for areas with strong industries.

"Hehe, this trip south has become a school ground for honing soldiers." Luo Xin looked at Guangzhou City in front of him, "When do you want to start fighting?" ”

In order to defend the city, the merchant council has placed the last elite here, and it is said that there are also the people bewitched by the Blue Dragon King in the city.

"What's the hurry, you and I have just met, let's let the soldiers rest, eat and drink enough to fight again, go, in order to treat us in this supply, the emperor specially rewarded Qingzhou drunk, and then put on some side dishes, relax tonight."

Luo Xin licked his lips, fighting a war is an extremely difficult thing, this time the soldiers who went south did not suffer many casualties in the war, but there were many casualties caused by mosquito bites and poisonous mist miasma, if it weren't for the superb medical skills of the doctors in the army, he would really be crazy.

When Lu Fei said this now, he really wanted to relax his spirit.

"Eat and drink enough, and then beat them up." Luo Xin pointed to Guangzhou City and scolded, Lu Fei immediately laughed when he heard this.
