Mulan Fortress suddenly became the focus of the southwest battlefield. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since Hong Xiuquan insisted on fighting, Yang Xiuqing naturally had to carry it out to the end. No matter how big the sacrifice is, for now, Hong Xiuquan's will in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot be doubted at all.

And when the Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked Mulan Fortress, the Leopard Tao Legion led by Han Xin had already received an order from the Military Affairs Bureau, requiring the Leopard Tao Legion to march all the way and rush to reinforcements.

Because of the two-day delay at the headquarters, even if it was a rapid march, the Leopard Tao Legion could only arrive at Mulan Fortress before the 28th.

Therefore, the defenders led by Bai Qi must resist the onslaught of the enemy army for at least two days.

In addition, Wuzhou County has just been occupied and has not yet been officially incorporated into the rule of Shanhai Ling. Therefore, the logistics grain and grass materials of the Leopard Tao Army have to rely on Zhaoqing County to be responsible for transportation.

It can be said that Han Xin led his troops to attack Mulan Fortress, which was a risky move. Fortunately, Han Xin is an opportunist and knows that the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked the Mulan Fortress, focusing all its attention on the front line, and once it was attacked from behind by the Leopard Tao Army, it was possible to immediately rout.

For the sake of victory, Han Shin is willing to take this risk.

As for the First Division of the Longxiang Legion led by Jiang Kai, at this time, it was still slowly marching in the 100,000 mountains, and I was afraid that it would not be able to catch up with this big battle.

And in view of the situation in Chiyou City, Ouyang Shuo did not dare to transfer the Praetorian Guard Division for the time being.

With the strength of a division and regiment, suppressing the entire territory of Wuzhou County, Ouyang Shuo was already trembling, walking on thin ice. After the compound left, Ouyang Shuo sent an order to Lin Yi and asked him to lead two brigades and a Shanman Independent Division to set off from Chiyou City and sweep away the local powerful forces in Wuzhou County all the way.

The mountain barbarian tribes in Wuzhou County are numerous, hundreds of them. More than sixty percent of the tribes have settled in Chiyou City. The remaining forty percent is to become a local powerhouse.

On the day Ouyang Shuo arrived in Chiyou City, he had already asked Wang Feng to personally lead a team of 100 people to issue announcements of peace in various places, announcing the rule of Shanhai City.

According to the secret letter sent back by Wang Feng, some places have blocked the Shenwu Guards from the city gates.

For these uninteresting mountain barbarians, Ouyang Shuo naturally wanted to show the king's thunderous means. He also took this opportunity to wipe out the local stubborn forces in Wuzhou County.

Clear the way for Fan Zhongyan to take over Wuzhou County.

The Black Snake Guard, including the Military Intelligence Department, has never given up infiltrating the prefectures and counties of Wuzhou County. With the cooperation of the two major intelligence agencies, Lin Yi's thunderous operation will definitely be able to achieve a bumper harvest.

……

When the Black Snake Guard sent a secret letter, saying that Tianjing's garrison was less than 40,000 people, Ouyang Shuo really thought about it, and wanted to lead the Praetorian Guard Division and the four Shanban Independent Divisions to directly send troops to attack Tianjing, and take the old nest of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Truth be told, the idea is tempting.

After careful consideration, Ouyang Shuo still gave up this tempting idea for three reasons.

First, Tianjing City is not a soft persimmon.

Hong Xiuquan lives a lifetime, and how can he not worry about his own nest. According to the Black Snake Guard, the walls of Tianjing City, including the city defense facilities, are all first-class in the wilderness.

According to the rank, it is already half a level higher than the county town, between the county town and the capital; And as long as Hong Xiuquan is given a little more time, he can really build Tianjing into the scale of the capital.

Therefore, without the cooperation of siege equipment, it is really delusional to take Tianjing City. Not to mention anything else, Ouyang Shuo dared to conclude that Hong Xiuquan must have arranged artillery on the wall of Tianjing City.

Artillery, siege may not be good, defending the city is really a big killer. The artillery is condescending, and there are battlements to protect it, it is really a god who blocks and kills God, and a Buddha who blocks and kills Buddha.

Its power and lethality are even more terrifying than the three-bowed eight-cow bed crossbow.

With the Shanman Independent Division that had just been subdued, Ouyang Shuo really didn't have the confidence to gnaw on this hard bone.

Second, Xunzhou County is not a backyard.

Hong Xiuquan's rule under his rule was centered on the organizational situation of religion.

Therefore, all over Xunzhou County, whether it is officials or ordinary people, they are all believers in the Taiping Sect.

Ouyang Shuo believed that once he led his troops into Xunzhou County, no matter how careful he was, he was afraid that within half a day, the army would be exposed in front of Hong Xiuquan and there would be nowhere to hide.

Therefore, a surprise attack is simply impossible.

Hong Xiuquan's rule under his rule is really called an iron bucket, and all the people of Tianping Heaven are his followers and his eyeliner. Any wind and grass can't hide from Hong Xiuquan.

In contrast, Chiyou's rule is just cruel and domineering.

Third, Wuzhou County is still unstable.

Ouyang Shuo pointed out that it was unstable, except for the aforementioned Chiyou City factor, as well as the constraints of local forces. There is a more important point, which is to guard against the [Shonan City-State] in the north of Wuzhou County.

After experiencing the Battle of Zhaoqing, all the neighbors of Shanhai City have long realized one point: if you want not to be swallowed up by Shanhai City, it is far from enough to rely on passive defense, and you must always be vigilant. When necessary, they even have to take the initiative to attack and replace defense with offense.

Otherwise, it is possible that the "boiled frogs" in Shanhai City will be served one by one at any time.

Besides, Caiyun Zhinan, the leader of the [Shonan City-State], is not a simple character. This person had been silent before, and it was not until the battle of the giant deer that his edge was revealed.

And as soon as he appeared, he was unstoppable, and there was a posture of "if you don't make a hit, you will be a blockbuster".

The [Shonan City-State] was able to be established in a short period of time, in addition to the objective factor of the threat of Shanhai City, the prestige of Caiyun Zhinan in the alliance was also a major reason.

In contrast, the siege lion and the dragon point are not as good as each other.

But all such people are basically people who are very deep in the city.

Ouyang Shuo would not think that after the establishment of the [Xiangnan City-State], he would be a "good baby". At the critical moment, Caiyun Zhinan had the courage to fight with Shanhai City with bayonets.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo did not dare to easily relax his control over Wuzhou County.

According to the information from the Black Snake Guard, Caiyun Zhinan and Ruan Ping have met frequently recently. Between the two, I am afraid that they have reached a tacit understanding, formed an alliance of interests, and are ready to fight against Shanhai City together.

Therefore, the situation of Shanhai City in the north and east is really affecting the whole body, and it is not optimistic. It is already even more difficult to follow up and expand the territory again.

At this time, how could Ouyang Shuo take the risk and rashly attack Tianjing.

With Ouyang Shuo's character, he still likes to play steadily.

As long as Han Xin's army arrived in time and defeated the Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in one fell swoop, the two major armies of Shanhai City would be able to bulldoze Xunzhou County with absolute strength.

Stability is the goal set by Ouyang Shuo. As long as it is stable, Shanhai City will be invincible. And once he is impulsive and chooses to take risks, he is very likely to be overturned by the enemy.

The biggest difference between Ouyang Shuo and Di Chen and others is that the background is not deep enough.

Whether it is Emperor Chen, Chun Shenjun, or the Wolf Warrior, the Hero, or even the Killing Army that is about to sink, no matter how they are constantly frustrated in the confrontation with Ouyang Shuo, they can always turn over again and again, quickly recover their strength, or even go further.

By what? It depends on the heritage of the family.

But Ouyang Shuo is different, although relying on the advantage of rebirth, he is constantly adding to the territory. But getting to this point is already a critical situation, and once it suffers a heavy blow, it is still possible that it will not be able to get up.

Why?

Because Ouyang Shuo's personal background is insufficient, he is not the opponent of the family if he fights alone.

What Ouyang Shuo can do is to take advantage of the advantages of rebirth, take advantage of the characteristics of the territory, and constantly discover historical talents, and at the same time spare no effort to cultivate the aboriginal talents of the territory to compete with the heritage of the family.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo can't make a mistake, once he makes a mistake, what awaits him is probably an abyss.

There is a strange phenomenon in the Chinese region that Ouyang Shuo has only recently become aware of. That is, according to the comparison of the previous life, at the same time, the territory of Di Chen and the others was actually stronger than the previous life.

Why?

It was Ouyang Shuo's step-by-step oppression that made Di Chen and the others grow up rapidly.

Ouyang Shuo's role in China is actually a "spoiler". It's just that he, the spoiler, is too good, and he woke up the children of the family like Di Chen in advance.

This phenomenon is similar to the "catfish effect".

Ouyang Shuo is the catfish in the pool.

When Ouyang Shuo realized this problem, he was really a little crying and laughing.

**********

October 26, the third day of the Great War.

The Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was ready to fight with all its might, and nearly 200,000 troops poured out.

The most conspicuous, naturally, is still the four artillery pieces.

Learning from yesterday's lesson, Yang Xiuqing ordered people to build protective shields for the four artillery pieces overnight to prevent the artillery from being hit by the fireball of the trebuchet and scrapping it on the spot.

The artillery is strong, but it is a little precious.

In addition to artillery, the second killer feature of the Southern Route Army is the hundreds of mobile arrow towers. In order to avoid being completely suppressed by the bed crossbow of Mulan Fortress, the Southern Route Army must fight for the commanding heights of the war.

This time, it will be a confrontation of crossbowmen on both sides.

In addition, the front-line troops of the Southern Route Army are all sword and shield soldiers.

Yang Xiuqing's purpose is very clear, he does not expect to break through the Mulan Fortress like a moat in one day, attack the city wall, and start a white-knuckle battle with the army of Shanhai City.

The purpose of Yang Xiuqing was to ensure that the artillery was powerful, concentrate firepower, and collapse a section of the city wall to create an opportunity for tomorrow's attack.

In addition to this, it is to knock out the bed crossbows and trebuchets on the city walls.

If these things are not solved, the Southern Route Army will not want to attack the city wall.

Although Yang Xiuqing was born in poverty, his family was engaged in farming and burning charcoal. But personally, he is really gifted and wise. Whether it is political or military, there have been good performances. (To be continued.) )
