Chapter 895: Sweeping the entire territory of Guangxi
Shi Dakai, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Corps of the Heavenly Army, also entered the city, and he knew that this way was the key to success, so he did not listen to the dissuasion of Sun Gang and others, and resolutely came in with the fleet.
Shi Dakai hopes that Lao Chongguang and Xiang Rong will run away!
Because they are the leaders and hopes of all the enemy forces defending the city!
If they are still there, the combat effectiveness of these people will remain at the original level, greatly prolonging the victory time of the Heavenly Army.
Not even winning or losing!
Therefore, he did not let the Heavenly Army stop the two of them from escaping.
Otherwise, it will be such a waterway, and the two of them will not be able to escape.
But where did these two men know this?
Lao Chongguang and Xiang Rong couldn't help but feel numb when they saw the heavenly army, bandits, and sailors who were shouting and galloping at the same time, did these people fall from the sky or drill out of the soil?
On their own side, except for the two of them, the rest of the people can also get on the boat!
And they can't wait any longer, a little later, they won't leave themselves, they will all leave here!
In the ranks of the Heavenly Army, there are a few people who are walking like flying, their eyes are eager, obviously rushing for their two big fish!
Xiang Rong waved his hand and immediately decided: "Start the boat!"
The ship immediately flew away, and these people who operated the ship were all carefully selected and strictly selected masters, so they quickly broke away from the battle group. Xiang Rong looked back at his subordinates, many of whom had not yet recovered from this incident, and looked at the soldiers of the Heavenly Army who ran over.
Others have reacted, but they have ended up worse!
Most of those who were stunned were captured and captured, and many more were ignored, and they were at least able to survive, but those who resisted were miserable, and were immediately besieged, and most of the resisters were killed on the spot.
Those who are more familiar with the Celestial Army are fine. As long as the Qing soldiers don't continue to hurt people, forget it, but those bandits are different, even if these Qing soldiers are wounded and lose the ability to fight back, they will be hacked to death by them!
How did these bandits get involved?
In the past, the water from the well did not interfere with the water of the river.
If he knew that the key link in the whole city was because of the excellent work played by these bandits, he would not have thought so.
The ships rushed all the way to the east gate, and the remnants of the troops who came down from all roads were defeated. Escape by boat along the way.
Seeing that they were also miserable, everyone sympathized with each other, so they were put on the boat, as long as the boat could still carry it.
Rushing all the way to the east gate, and then opening the gate and rushing out.
The Heavenly Army and Navy at the East Gate did not expect that the two main leaders would be unable to withstand the strength so quickly, and one of them was caught off guard, and they broke through the encirclement and ran away from three boats. Lao Chongguang and Xiang Rong are on it.
However, more than 20 ships fell into the hands of the Heavenly Army, and most of the soldiers who took the ships later became substitutes for the dead and died on the way to break through.
The Celestial Army Naval Division did not continue the pursuit, the east gate was already open, and their top priority was to hurry into the city and collect those Manchu defeated soldiers. Especially the regimental training and township soldiers in various places.
If not at this time, catch them all. When they disperse to various villages to start a spark, they can set the prairie on fire, and each of them will oppose the heavenly army, and the trouble will be great.
In terms of the overall situation, these hundreds of thousands of Manchu troops were defeated. The overall organized resistance, since the escape of Xiang Rong and Lao Chongguang, has ceased to exist.
But scattered, family-centric resistance is everywhere.
Among them, the soldiers of Xiang Rong and Lao Chongguang resisted the most.
Although they were abandoned by their protectors, they had no regrets.
Not only did he not regret it, but he still played very energetically. Because they felt they could hold back the celestial armies so that their masters could escape safely.
In addition to these more regular Qing troops, those old, weak, sick, and young women also gave the Heavenly Army a headache, because it was difficult for them to identify whether it was the enemy or me.
It seems that a group of ordinary people suddenly launched a desperate charge against the Heavenly Army, probably because their relatives died at the head of the Heavenly Army.
However, before they were launched, they were no different from ordinary people, and they couldn't strike first.
So the Celestial Army had no choice but to avoid danger from them.
If they are still chasing the Heavenly Army, then you're welcome!
However, this method of these ordinary people is only effective against the heavenly army, and it will not work against the bandits in the dark night in the east.
Those bandits don't have any concept of cleansing, all of them are trophies, and they will inevitably be stabbed honestly, let alone take the initiative to attack.
They hoped that these people would resist a little bit, so that they would have a reason to kill.
However, these resistances only caused some difficulties to the Celestial Army, and at most increased some casualties, but they could not change the overall situation.
Now the Heavenly Army is divided into three ways and sweeps the whole city!
The first was the sailors led by Peter, who took the most prosperous Yongjiang along the Yong River, and then, wherever there was a waterway, they captured it all.
Now it is a comparison of killing two birds with one stone, while clearing away the remnants of the enemy, he is making preparations for the next step, the power of the "boat gang" established by the old father-in-law is about to go out of the stream and into the yellow!
That is to say, the ten dragons of the boat gang must go out of the Xijiang River, go to the Yellow River, and then pass through the Yellow River, enter the vast area of the Yellow River Basin, and participate in the decisive battle!
The second way is the army of Sun Gang and others, they copied the back road from the inside, cooperated with the heavenly army that was originally acting as a feint outside, took the four city gates, and then marched together to occupy the whole city.
The third way is the bandit army of the dark night in the East, they are now like fish in water, under the leadership of those brothers who were already in the city, where there is a lot of oil and water, they will fight!
As a result, the Manchu treasury and the wealthy families became the captives of these bandit armies.
After about an hour, calm was restored throughout Nanning, and all the Manchu troops, including those affiliated forces, lost their ability to resist, and were either forcefully suppressed or surrendered to the Celestial Army.
In this way, the largest Qing army in the entire territory of Guangxi disappeared, and from then on, there was no large-scale resistance.
Now that the capital of Guangxi has belonged to the Heavenly Army, Shi Dakai immediately turned his energy to the establishment of the corps to prepare for the decisive battle of the two rivers.
The first thing he did was to select 90,000 elites from the more than 100,000 captives, and distribute 80,000 of them among four armies and 20,000 in one army.
The other 10,000 were distributed to the Eastern Night, doubling the size of his team immediately!
In this way, Shi Dakai basically completed the formation of his 200,000 Southwest Corps.
Now he has four reinforcements in his hands, a bandit army.
Four reinforced armies, each of which is now 50,000 men, and the four armies have a total of 200,000 men.
An army of bandits, with a total of 20,000 people, together there are 220,000.
However, although the number of people is a little larger, there are 90,000 people who have just joined the Heavenly Army, and their combat effectiveness is a bit unreliable.
As a result, Shi Dakai ordered Feng Zhikuo's army in Beizhonghai, Fangchenggang, and Qinming Prefecture to quickly join his four armies.
Feng Zhikuo had just finished his occupation of the entire southwest region of Guangxi, and was already close to Nanning, and after receiving the order, he made a rapid march, and in less than an hour, he rushed to Nanning to report to Shi Dakai.
At the same time, Li Baohong's army, which had completed the occupation of Hechi, Baise, and Chungzuo, was also transferred, and he had just occupied Fusui County, and it was less than an hour before he arrived in Nanning to report to Shi Dakai.
Shi Dakai had a small meeting with the commanders of the Six Heavenly Armies and the bandit commanders Dongfang Heiye, and it was these seven armies that decided to participate in the decisive battle!
But the number of people to lose weight, except for the bandit army.
The three armies remained at 30,000 men, while the bandit army was to be increased from 10,000 to 20,000.
This brings the number to 200,000.
The 10,000 people who have increased by the bandits are no longer prisoners of the Qing army, but the backbone of the other six armies!
It was these people who mixed the sand with these bandits to change the nature of their bandit army.
In addition to the radical changes made in this respect, the fighting styles of the other kings, some of the ways of behaving as they pleased.
Of course, the military discipline of the Heavenly Army and the basic laws of the Heavenly Kingdom must be observed.
The army that had been reduced from these corps was not disbanded, but was reorganized into two corps, one for local security, and a total of 200,000 men stationed in the major major cities.
The other, following Peter's fleet, went eastward, opened the passage of the river, occupied the coastal cities, and finally cooperated with the occupation of Guangdong.
After these arrangements were made, Shi Dakai handed over the local affairs to Sven, and he arranged for the establishment of the Holy City and other government affairs.
Since the Yingzhou Conference appointed Sven as the Minister of Internal Affairs, he has officially stepped out of the Holy Mountain to take charge of the overall internal management of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Today is the first province-wide major event that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has done since taking office, so he attaches great importance to it and comes to handle it personally.
Shi Dakai's determined march route is from here to the northern border of Guangxi, and then enter the west of Hunan Province, along the north of the mountain, all the way to the Xuefeng Mountains, there are three-in-one projects connected, this more than half of the distance can be taken by train, effortlessly!
From there, continue north, cross the Daba Mountain Range, and then go northeast to enter the East Henan Plain and enter the Lianghe Battlefield.
However, before the long journey, it was decided to pull out two nails along the way, one in the state of Leibin, and the other in the state of Wuzhou!
These two states have always been in the core area of the Celestial Army, and they have been involved in the anti-purging war several times, but at that time, the Celestial Army did not occupy these two states in consideration of the influence of the whole country, and it has been delayed until now.
Now don't be taboo!
So, the land and water army set out together, Peter out of the Yong River, into the Yu River, through the Xun River, straight out of the Xijiang River!
Shi Da drove the land route, took Laibin easily, and at the same time sent Sun Gang to lead two armies to take Wuzhou lightly.
In these two places, the main forces of the Qing army and most of the militia groups had already gone to Nanning and were destroyed there, and the resistance was no longer enough.
Shi Dakai immediately handed over these two places to Sven, and the army went north at a gallop!
