The failure of the Yangzhou prefect's encirclement and suppression operation against Cangyunling caused a huge sensation and shock not only in the Yangzhou officialdom, but also in the Nanjing imperial court. It also caused unprecedented shocks among ordinary people......

Before the encirclement and suppression operation began, the people of Yangzhou had little confidence in this so-called tiger and leopard army.

However, the unexpected victory of the Haw Par Army made them feel that Hu Hai's threats and threats at Zhangjiatubao might really become a reality...... The Tiger and Leopard Army stationed in Cangyunling can protect them from being bullied by the imperial court......

As a result, a large number of people began to migrate to the Cangyunling area because of the imperial court's tax increase and the ruin of their families......

In this way, Hu Hai harvested not only a steady stream of ordinary people in Cangyunling, but also a steady stream of young adults who wanted to join the Haw Par Army.

Just when Hu Hai began to enjoy the huge results brought to him by the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression.

In order not to give the Haw Par Army an interface and opportunity to enter the two provinces of Gansu and Ning, the imperial army that attacked the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo quickly retreated.

Zhou Shuyuan, who reoccupied the entire territory of Gansu and Ningbo provinces and received a regimental equipment and a large amount of ammunition, did not let go of his mind because of this.

He knew that this calm was only temporary.

When the battle ended, he lost his reason to stay in Ganning Province.

If he continues to stay in the two provinces of Gansu and Ning, it means that he has made it clear to Wei Zheng with his actions that he wants to break away from the Tiger and Leopard Army and stand on his own with the strength of the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo and the three divisions under his command.

When the time comes, whether it is to make an example of chickens and monkeys, or for some other reason, the two main divisions of the General Staff stationed on the border of Gansu and Ningbo provinces will not hesitate to kill in. Destroy yourself.

So. A big drama staged by himself and the court for the prince has just ended. The strength of the two divisions began to assemble on the border of Gansu and Ningbo provinces to block the possible attack of the Haw Par Army......

At the same time, the only cavalry division in his hand was quickly transferred to his side by Zhou Shuyuan to reinforce various battlefields at any time.

Of course, every move of more than 20,000 soldiers under Zhou Shuyuan's command did not escape the territory of Ganning and Ningbo provinces. The interior guard is specially strengthened.

After confirming that in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, except for a division secretly trained by Zhou Shuyuan, it has become empty.

Sun Chengzong, who had secretly rushed to the border between Gansu and Ningbo provinces, immediately secretly summoned the commanders of the two divisions who were engaged in a confrontation with the Fifth Army and the commanders of the cavalry divisions who were lurking on the border.

When Sun Chengzong revealed the huge plan formulated by Wei Zheng to the three division commanders, the faces of the three division commanders directly showed a stunned and shocked expression......

The cavalry division traveled five or six hundred miles in one day and one night, occupied the county town of Qingchuan, and blocked the only retreat for the Fifth Army to defect to the imperial court......

Then. The whole army pressed up, forcing the Fifth Army to surrender......

Just as the three division commanders slowly reacted from the shock. When you are going to ask about your doubts and worries.

Sun Chengzong directly interrupted: "You are all the best generals of my Tiger and Leopard Army!" They all know the military discipline of our Haw Par Army...... Now that the prince has made a decision, what we should do is how to win the battle and achieve the goal......"

After speaking, Sun Chengzong directly put his eyes on the commander of the Sixth Division in front of him, and asked with a stern face: "Senior Commander Zhang, you have arranged a regiment here...... Opposite you, the same is a ...... I will give you another heavy artillery regiment of heavy firepower to provide you with artillery support, and you will personally command, is it possible to open a gap in the opponent's defense line within half an hour......"

After a short period of contemplation, the face of the commander of the Sixth Division, who was stared at by Sun Chengzong's eyes, directly showed a firm expression.

Then, he affirmed loudly to Sun Chengzong: "As long as the heavy artillery regiment has enough flowering shells, I promise that within half an hour, a breakthrough will be torn in the opponent's defense line......"

"Very good......" Sun Chengzong nodded and replied with a satisfied face......

Then, he quickly shifted his gaze to the commander of the cavalry division and continued to ask, "Division Commander Li...... A few days ago, the General Staff had already sent you a large number of war horses and equipment and ammunition...... Now, the cavalry division was lurking five miles behind the defensive line...... My order to the cavalry division is that the 6th Division, after tearing a hole in the 5th Army's defensive line, within an hour, bring all the equipment and horses and pass through the gap......"

Then, don't care about your back, and go straight to Qingchuan County...... Within twelve hours, it was necessary to rush to the county seat of Harukawa and occupy him...... I have a warrant written by the prince himself...... The troops encountered along the way intercepted, if you can bypass it, you can bypass it, and if you can't bypass it, you can show the warrant of the prince, but it really can't be done, just hit it......"

"If the soldiers you meet along the way still recognize the orders of the prince and listen to the command...... Directly as the division commander, you ordered them to reinforce the county seat of Qingchuan and assist you in defending the city......"

"If you're lucky, after you take Qingchuan County, Governor Zhou will take the initiative to bow his head...... At that time, the cavalry division that occupies the county town of Qingchuan will avoid a big battle......"

"If you're unlucky, the Governor of Zhou, who is not willing to fail, will not only send heavy troops to attack you and recapture Qingchuan County from you. I will also contact the new imperial army stationed in Sichuan to give you a front and rear flanking ......"

"So, when defending Qingchuan County, the more troops you have, the more advantageous it will be for the cavalry division......"

It is certain that as long as the cavalry division can hold the county seat of Qingchuan, the cavalry division will get the greatest victory in the battle to suppress the rebellion in Gansu and Ningbo provinces.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, the commander of the cavalry division replied with a hot face: "Please rest assured, chief of staff...... Our cavalry division must live up to the high expectations of the prince and the chief of staff, and like a nail, nail to death in Qingchuan County......

More than 50 heavy artillery pieces of the heavy artillery regiment, plus a heavy artillery battalion of the Sixth Division, a heavy mortar company of one regiment, three battalions of medium mortar platoons, and nine companies of light mortar platoons, a total of more than 100 artillery pieces, all of which raised their own black holes and holes, aimed at the defense line of the Fifth Army a few hundred paces away, and put on a posture that could fire artillery at any time......

As time passed, the order to attack finally reached the artillery positions of the Haw Par Army......

As a result, the deafening roar of artillery fire, like thunder, sounded on the battlefield.

More than 100 flowering bullets with a screaming sound covered the Fifth Army's defense line with a width of more than 100 paces in the blink of an eye......

The flowering bomb exploded, and the section of defense line that was completely covered by the flowering bomb was then covered by the thick smoke generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb.

As for the dense fragmentation generated by the explosion of the flowering shell, an impenetrable storm of steel formed above the ground.

Countless officers and men of the Fifth Army, who were shrouded in artillery fire, were beaten into a hornet's nest by these fragments before they could react......

It is certain that the artillery fire in front of him is absolutely unprecedented for the officers and men of the Fifth Army.

Because, since the formation of the Fifth Army, and even since the formation of the Haw Par Army, there has not been a single enemy with such powerful artillery...... (To be continued......)
