Mai Ke arrived at the base of the beggar gang, where he and Zhao Yu were waiting for him.

"How's it going, are you all ready?" Mai Ke asked.

One was his first brother after crossing China, and the other was his first apprentice.

It can be said that they are all the closest people to Mai Ke.

In addition to Zhao Yu, Mike also has several apprentices.

Zhang Qi is one, Zhang Wen's younger brother, and he mainly learns martial arts with Mai Ke.

Tang Sizang, the other, studied medicine with Mai Ke, one of the core disciples of the Tang Sect.

Finally, there is Zhu Bajie, who studied economics with Mai Ke.

These are basically nominal apprentices, and there are countless unnamed ones.

Zhao Yu first reported that his 20,000 cavalry were in place, hidden, and ready to attack at any time.

"Haha! These preparations are really good, just charge directly when the time comes!" Zhao Yu said with satisfaction.

Just as the people of the world were about to say something, Mai Ke interrupted and changed the topic: "Then what about the way into the city?

"Ready! When you attack, the beggars will answer you inside!" replied to the beggars, finally allowing my beggar disciples to show their skills.

"Come, talk about the defense of the city and other military deployments of Zeng Guofan. ”

The three of them sat on the ground, still reporting to the world.

Mai Ke pulled out a miniature sand table from his backpack, and in a few clicks, he fiddled out the main layout of the Suxian County Guo Synthesis.

"We are now outside the northeast corner of the city, this village is called Shengzhuang, and the timing is exclusive to the beggar gang, and the 200 households in the village are all members of the beggar gang.

"When we attack later, we'll go into the underground passages, go under the ground, over the walls, and through the northeast corner of the city. Until the center of the city.

"There are four manors in the center of the city, so this place is also called the Four Parks, and now the Four Gardens are the headquarters of Zeng Guofan and the location of the four barracks.

"The four gardens are basically distributed in four squares, with an avenue horizontally and vertically, passing through the middle of the four estates.

"Our battle plan. It was a surprise attack and rushed into the fourth camp.

"Our goal is not to occupy their camps, but to occupy them horizontally, to cut off the north-south connection between them.

"After cutting it off, it will be firmly stuck there, and people, information, materials and other objects will not be allowed to cross this avenue.

"In these four camps alone, the average garrison strength in each camp has reached 50,000!

"They are all led by Zeng Guofan's cronies and Xiang Yong's descendants.

"In addition to the 200,000 troops here, there are also 100,000 defenders of the four cities.

"In addition to the garrison of the city and the four battalions, they also have a peripheral stronghold. Just like the stronghold sent to the Rift Mountain, they are all elite soldiers.

"The low point is the double pile, which is defended by Cheng Xucai, the governor of Huguang, and there are 150,000 soldiers stationed there. ”

"Thank you, brother, you have done a very detailed job of collecting intelligence! This is the road," Mai Ke pointed to the avenue between Li Yuan and West Li Yuan and said: "This avenue is called Desheng Road, go in now! Xiao Yan, you lead your cavalry, just walk in normally." But when you enter the city, you have to go to the ground. Let your horse charge and expand your territory as much as possible on both sides of the road to victory!

"Brother of the world, you lead your 40,000 beggar brothers to resolutely hold the positions on both sides of the avenue until all the participating troops of the Heavenly Army complete their tasks!"

"Resolutely complete the task!" replied Zhao Yu and the people of the world in unison.

"Let's go!" Mai Ke issued the order.

Then the three of them came to the Tibetan Soldier Cave together.

I saw 20,000 soldiers on horseback, ready to go!

These caves. They were all prepared when they first established their bases, and at that time the people of the world did not know why they had to build a large number of buildings and dig out caves in all the suitable places.

And the passage of those processes, they only dug a very small section, and they were suspended.

In fact. In the latter part, Mai Ke is in charge.

Of course, he didn't do it himself, but asked Lingxi to move and work hard.

What the actual passage was, Mai Ke didn't count it himself.

These cavalrymen came out of the cave and went straight into the passage.

It turns out that there is an automatic exit on the back wall of each Tibetan soldier cave, as soon as the exit is opened, one step into the hole, and the back door of the Tibetan soldier cave behind it is automatically closed.

Entering the passage, everyone was amazed!

It turns out that there is no cave here!

The passage is three or four zhang wide and one zhang high, and two rows of bright electric lights illuminate this hidden underground passage as bright as day.

It can fit ten horses walking side by side!

Anyone who has seen the Sacred Mountain to the Jintian Village Troop Tunnel knows that this passage is even more magnificent than that.

Mai Ke was sure in his heart that the ability to move was constantly improving, perhaps showing his ability more.

The reason why Mai Ke is prepared in this way is entirely based on his comprehensive strategic considerations.

Whoever Su County falls into will play a central pivotal role in the overall situation.

A city in hand, full of life.

On the contrary, without the turnaround station of this central hub, it will not function well and be constrained everywhere.

At the same time, Zeng Guofan was sitting alone in the big tent.

The place where he is located is Nanxue Garden, one of the four parks, which is located in the southwest corner, and the distance from Dong Garden, Li Garden, and West Li Garden is relatively far, and it is also where the big tent of the Chinese army is located.

He had not yet recovered from the shock of his ninth brother Zeng Guoquan falling into the hands of the enemy again.

Although he knew that this was not the time to be sad.

The ninth brother is the most talented and the most heroic in battle, how can God not bless the talent?

He suffered the most!

The only hope is that the ninth brother will be captured alive, and there is a possibility that he will survive like the previous two times.

However, judging from this big war, it will be difficult for the ninth brother to make contributions.

Once again, his ambitions were severely thwarted.

Although he had long set his sights on the strategic center of Suxian, he seized the city as soon as possible and gained the upper hand in the overall strategic situation.

Moreover, the camp of the Split Mountain and the hundreds of thousands of troops led by the emperor are close at hand, and their own troops can also rush to help!

The hateful Heavenly Army actually took down the Ninth Brother cleanly and completely in an extreme time, along with his army of more than 100,000. There was simply no chance to give the Qing army in both directions any chance!

Zeng Guofan himself, only after the ninth brother was captured alive did he know that the Split Mountain Camp had disappeared.

Now he is entangled, the Split Mountain Battalion is lost, and according to the strategic deployment that began, another one should be built. Of course, it is best to be in Rift Mountain, so that it is convenient to keep in touch with the emperor's troops.

Secondly, it is to build a new camp at any point between Rift Mountain and Su County, although it is a little worse than the geographical location of Rift Mountain, the basic role of Gongwei Su County is still played.

The necessity and benefits of re-establishing the Northern Guard Battalion are obvious, but there are also many risks.

First of all, it may become the next target of the Celestial Army, and it will become the second in the Split Mountain.

Secondly, the question of who to send to preside over this large battalion is also a huge one.

Is there a general who can compete with the ninth brother in both civil and military affairs?

The ninth brother is so talented. is still sinking into the sand, how can other people have the least guarantee that it is not a meat bun sent to the door of the heavenly army?

If the fate of defeat awaits this new battalion, why build?

Zeng Dawan, who has always been strategizing and decisive, hesitated.

He decided to convene a high-level meeting to discuss whether or not to re-establish the Beidaying.

He had already sent people to gather the commanders of the other three battalions to discuss the issue together.

The commanders of the other three battalions arrived one after another.

They were Li Yuan's commander Zeng Guohua. Zeng Guofan's sixth brother.

Zeng Guobao, the commander of the camp of Xili Garden, was the youngest brother of Zeng Guofan.

Jiang Zhongyuan, the commander of the Dong Yuan battalion. One of the founders of the Hunan Army and the leader of Chu Yong, the predecessor of the Hunan Army.

"Dashuai, is there any news about Guoquan and them?" Jiang Zhongyuan asked impatiently before he could sit down.

This one was in sympathy with Zeng Guofan, because his younger brother Jiang Zhongji was also captured by the Heavenly Army like Zeng Guoquan.

"No new news. Zeng Guofan replied in a deep voice, of course he felt the same way as Jiang Zhongyuan. Because both of them are beloved brothers, they were captured by the heavenly army. "Sit down, we have an important thing to decide. ”

As soon as he sat down, he suddenly heard a shout from the direction of the northeast camp!

"Kill!"

Then they heard the chorus shouting: "We are the Heavenly Army! Surrender and avoid death! Surrender and not kill!"

The faces of the three commanders changed drastically, terrible. How did the Celestial Army get in?

Zeng Guofan's face also changed drastically, and the three major battalions were attacked! But their commander was not in the camp! The dragons were leaderless, and the camp was most likely to be bombed!

"Now that the meeting is adjourned, you should return to the camp as quickly as possible, and you must guard it for me!" Zeng Guofan immediately dismissed the meeting and sent everyone back to deal with this emergency.

At this time, the heavenly army had jumped out of the passage and occupied the road to victory, with a total of 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 beggar brothers, all on foot.

Everyone attacked and seized all the defensive facilities set up by Xiang Yong on both sides of the victory avenue, and the foot soldiers immediately occupied the dove's nest as their own fortifications and began to arrange defensive positions.

In accordance with the original design, all the Celestial Troops were divided into four and attacked the four battalions to expand the defense area.

Wherever the cavalry passed, the foot soldiers followed suit, and they comfortably brought these areas into the pocket of the heavenly army.

So far, the Celestial Army has achieved the goal of sealing the throat with one arrow.

The cavalry commander Zhao Fu attacked in the direction of Dong Yuan's camp, and when he attacked the front door of the camp, it happened that Jiang Zhongyuan hurried back and collided with Zhao No.

Jiang Zhongyuan didn't know Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Zhongyuan with a familiar look, isn't this Jiang Zhongji's mold?

So, Zhao Yu shouted: "Well, it's Jiang Zhongyuan here, your brother was captured alive by me, and you haven't obediently dismounted and surrendered, even when?"

Originally, Jiang Zhongyuan didn't pay much attention to who the cavalry general of the Heavenly Army who rushed to attack was, but as soon as he heard this call, he immediately understood that the culprit of his younger brother's capture was in front of him!.
