200,000 coalition troops, for a while, set off a monstrous slaughter in Guilin County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Strictly speaking, the garrison of Guilin County still existed, and it was not transferred to Tianjing City by Hong Xiuquan. After all, Guilin County is the back road that Hong Xiuquan planned before, and he will not cut off his future.

In addition to the garrison, there was even a field army of more than 20,000 people stationed in Guilin County.

With Yang Xiuqing taking charge of the Kingdom of Heaven, Guilin County suddenly became a mess. Because the field army stationed in Guilin County can be described as Hong Xiuquan's henchmen.

Seeing that the Heavenly King had died and his bones were not cold, his successor Yang Xiuqing immediately surrendered to Shanhai City.

The angry army is naturally unwilling.

But if you want them to kill Tianjing City, they don't have the guts.

The anger of the soldiers had nowhere to vent, and in the end they could only pour out on the people in the county.

The attitude of the local garrison troops in Guilin County is much more ambiguous, and their loyalty to the Heavenly King has not yet reached the point of revenge for him and desperate for himself.

In addition, most of the soldiers in the local garrison were born in Guilin County, and they were also responsible for defending the territory, so naturally they would not tolerate the reckless behavior of the field army in the county.

The two major military forces quietly competed in Guilin County.

This is also the reason why Ouyang Shuo wants to arrange for the Shanman Independent Division to be stationed at Guiping Pass and Xuanwu Pass. It is precisely to prevent this riot from spreading to the territory of Xunzhou County.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo could lead his troops to quell the riots in Guilin County first.

Unfortunately, the situation in Tianjing City is still unstable, and Ouyang Shuo is urgently needed to take charge. Weighing the pros and cons, Ouyang Shuo still decided to put Guilin County down for the time being.

When Han Xin and his troops arrived, all the problems would naturally be solved.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also has a "sinister" intention. He wanted to take advantage of this riot in Guilin County to let the field army that had lost its mind destroy the hearts of the people gathered by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the local area.

As the saying goes, the people's hearts are back.

Ouyang Shuo also didn't want the people under his rule to still have nostalgia for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Isn't this riot in the field army digging its own grave?

As for the civilian casualties caused by this, they were not within Ouyang Shuo's consideration.

As a king, how can you always be soft-hearted?!

I can't say it, Ouyang Shuo is still proud of his plan.

Unexpectedly, it was such an inconspicuous oversight that allowed the cunning enemy to seize the opportunity.

How is Guilin County, which is in chaos, an opponent of the army of 200,000 tigers and wolves.

In addition, among the enemy army, there seems to be a master to guide and a general to command, so it is natural to be invincible, invincible, and invincible.

In just three days, more than half of Guilin County fell.

At this time, the commander of the coalition forces unexpectedly divided the army into three.

The 60,000-strong army stayed in Guilin County and continued the unfinished sweeping mission. The 80,000-strong army drove straight in, all the way south, and went straight to Guiping Pass.

The remaining 60,000 troops went to attack another pass, Xuanwu Pass.

It was this move of division of troops that completely laid the opportunity for the coalition to win.

If the coalition army crosses the pass, breaks into the territory of Xunzhou County, and has a life-and-death battle with the army of Shanhai City, the coalition army naturally does not have the confidence and strength.

However, it is necessary to occupy the two passes and completely block the passage for the army of Shanhai City to go north. Otherwise, Guilin County, which had just been occupied, would face the threat of the army of Shanhai City from time to time.

It's uncomfortable to think about.

Therefore, only by occupying the key passes can their battle plan be regarded as a complete success.

That's right, everything has to be fast.

The coalition forces must complete the occupation of the two passes before the Shanhai City army returns.

Otherwise, everything is not tied.

Therefore, whether it is the coalition army or the army of Shanhai City, they are all racing against time.

**********

Time goes back to two days ago, on November 20, Guiping Pass.

In Guiping Pass, there are more than 8,000 elite mountain barbarian warriors, and the person in charge of commanding this mountain barbarian army is Shi Hu, a young general who is highly favored by Ouyang Shuo.

On the second day after the coalition forces invaded Guilin County, a secret letter from the Military Intelligence Department was sent to Guiping Pass.

Whether it is the Military Intelligence Department or the Black Snake Guard, the infiltration of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by the two major intelligence agencies is mainly concentrated in Xunzhou County, with Tianjing City as the core.

Because of their limited personnel and limited energy, their infiltration of Guilin County and Zhen'an County was somewhat insufficient. Even so, it was not easy for the Military Intelligence Department to obtain accurate information the next day.

Getting the news, Shi Hu was shocked.

An elite army of 200,000 suddenly attacked without warning.

The sudden heavy pressure weighed down the young general, and he was about to lose his breath.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Shi Hu has commanded the army alone, and he will face such a test of life and death. This is indeed too cruel for a young general.

Outsiders can't understand this pressure without experiencing it firsthand.

Some of the generals in the army, some even collapsed in an instant under heavy pressure. On their shoulders, they carry the lives of thousands of people. If you make a slight mistake, you will fall into the abyss.

Fortunately, at this time in Guiping Pass, there is another capable person, and he is Pei Ju.

At the critical moment, Pei Ju stood up and served as the temporary military division of the garrison. During the days of attacking Xunzhou County, Ouyang Shuo always took Pei Ju with him, and often asked questions.

Therefore, Shi Hu has great trust in the old minister Pei Ju.

It was Pei Ju's relief that made Shi Hu quickly calm down and think about countermeasures.

Compared with the young Shi Hu, Pei Ju's vision is so old-fashioned, he immediately concluded that the enemy's expedition to Guilin County is extraordinary, as long as the enemy is not stupid, he will definitely attack Guiping Pass in the end.

Therefore, Pei Ju arranged several heralds to ride fast horses at the first time to inform the army of the prince who had already gone on the road. At the same time, orders began to be issued to improve the city defense facilities of Guiping Pass.

Guiping Pass, like Zhennan Pass, is an original fortress building in the wilderness.

The basic urban defense facilities in the customs are still relatively complete. After Hong Xiuquan entered Xunzhou County, he also arranged craftsmen to repair the pass.

The supplies in the customs are also sufficient.

The only regret is that the treasure in Hong Xiuquan's hand, the artillery, was not arranged at the pass.

Therefore, Pei Ju's so-called repair is only to repair the damage caused by the previous attack on Guiping Pass by the mountain barbarian army. At the same time, a large number of garrison materials were transported to the city wall.

**********

November 21, noon.

The strong sunlight, through the red clouds, scorched the wilderness.

On the horizon in the distance, a cavalryman in light armor suddenly appeared. On one side of the cavalry, followed by a vacant war horse, it galloped all the way, rolling up puffs of smoke and dust.

At this moment, a look of joy appeared in the eyes of the cavalry.

I saw that in front of him, an army of tens of thousands of people was moving forward.

"Prince, urgent military situation!"

The cavalry ran all the way, constantly waving the flag behind them and shouting loudly.

"Prince, urgent military situation!"

……

On this ordinary afternoon, the herald sent by Pei Ju caught up with the large army led by Ouyang Shuo in only a day and a half. For this reason, there were three fine war horses on the way, and they were exhausted to death.

Even the heralds, after completing the mission, fainted instantly.

During the march, Ouyang Shuo was unable to receive a secret letter.

Therefore, he was two and a half days late before he received the news that the coalition forces were attacking Guilin County. At this time, Ouyang Shuo was only less than two days away from Tianjing City.

According to the time calculation, at this time, the Leopard Tao Army led by Han Xin was at least three days away from Guiping Pass. During the march, I couldn't get in touch, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to count on it for the time being.

Receiving the news, Ouyang Shuo's heart trembled, and then he was furious.

"The little thief dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!"

Ouyang Shuo really didn't expect that the lords of the northern Sichuan Province would collude with the [Xiangnan City-State] so quickly, and what was even more odious was that they dared to take the initiative to provoke Shanhai City.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo could only smile bitterly.

I have to say that the timing chosen by the enemy is really too ingenious.

At this time, Shanhai City seemed to be at the peak of hegemony, but it was the weakest time. There is an incomparably vast territory, but there is no army to match it.

Only by completing the reorganization of hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops can Shanhai City be truly powerful.

However, the enemy seized this gap.

It seems that the enemy is expected, and Shanhai City does not dare to start a large-scale war with them at this time.

"I'm afraid that behind the coalition forces, there are high-ranking people to guide you."

Ouyang Shuo gradually calmed down and thought thoughtfully.

What he didn't know was that when the coalition forces broke into Guilin County, the 100,000 allied troops of the [Lingnan City-State] frequently stirred up trouble on the border, obviously cooperating with the [Xiangnan City-State] and was responsible for containing the energy of the Lingnan Theater.

There is no doubt that this is an elaborate conspiracy.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was leveled in Shanhai City, the lord players around Shanhai City were afraid of Shanhai City and reached the peak of history.

This time, the forces of the three provinces were linked together in order to curb the rise of Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo shook off his thoughts and immediately ordered the army to turn around and go straight to Guiping Pass.

The coalition forces knew the importance of the pass, how could Ouyang Shuo not know it? Therefore, he didn't even think about it, and directly led his troops back desperately.

Hopefully, Gui Pingguan can hold on.

Helplessly, the two independent divisions led by Ouyang Shuo were outright infantry. Even if it is a rapid march, it will take at least two days to rush back to Guiping Pass.

By then, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold.

Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo still has a cavalry in his hand, which is the three thousand divine guards.

Ouyang Shuo immediately decided to personally lead the Shenwu Guard and set off first. As for the Shanman Independent Division, it followed behind and advanced towards Guiping Pass at the fastest speed.

Everything is really a race against time. (To be continued.) )
