Chapter 893 The soldiers and bandits besieged Nanning

These people are in small groups of four, and all the major regions of the country are the destinations of their emergency operation!

Of course, there are some places that have sent troops before, but they have not met the requirements of Emperor Xianfeng to send troops.

Therefore, for such an area, the group of four was divided into two groups and formed two groups, one against the existing Qinwang army and the other against the army left behind!

These people are ruthless, and with the emperor's holy decree, they have reached a terrifying success rate for a while, and they have succeeded 100% against about one-third of the subjects of the first wave!

For a time, all over the country, thousands of horses galloping, all aimed at one goal, the camp of the emperor of Yizhou!

On the side of the Celestial Army, the personnel of all parties involved in the decision-making meeting of Yingzhou, especially the commander-in-chief of the corps, immediately returned to their positions,

Among them, there were two people who returned to Guangxi, one was Shi Dakai, and the other was Peter.

Shi Dakai was appointed commander-in-chief of the Southwest Corps, and his task was to form an army of 200,000 troops, level the Guangxi battlefield as quickly as possible, and then leap to the line at the junction of Henan and Anhui to complete the strategic encirclement of the Lianghe region.

He had to return to Guangxi, where his family was located, and since the uprising, the northeastern part of Guangxi had basically been occupied by the Celestial Army, and the vast area with Guilin as the center was the base of the capital of the Open Air Army.

On this basis, the Celestial Army also advanced to the area of Xiangxi, invaded Hunan, and cut off the communication between Hunan and the western region.

However, the southwest region has not yet been taken.

On the eve of the Yingzhou Conference, Shi Dakai was organizing the Battle of Nanning.

Lao Chongguang and Xiang Rong are the old opponents of the Heavenly Army. Faced with the loss of their division and territory, they felt that the general trend had gone, and it was impossible to keep all the cities and villages at all, and even the major cities were constantly falling into the hands of the heavenly army, so they had to shrink their forces and retreat to Nanning.

Because of Guangxi's successive campaigns, the strength of the Heavenly Army is certainly very strong, and the strength of the official army is also very strong, especially after the emperor issued the "Absolute Household Order". The entire Guangxi is divided into two distinct barriers.

Completely disappointed in the Manchus. It was mainly some small and medium-sized landlords and squires, who no longer waited and watched, and still joined the camp of the Kingdom of Heaven; Especially the local tyrants and inferior gentry. Until one's own actions must not be tolerated by the national policy of the kingdom of heaven. He also destroyed his family and joined the army without hesitation, gathered all his manpower, materials, and silver, and joined the Qing army.

All of a sudden. Nanning City is overcrowded.

At this time, the news of Xianfeng's personal expedition came, this Xiang Rong and Lao Chongguang, both hardcore royalists, were suddenly moved to tears, and their blood was boiling!

When the national disaster is at hand, the emperors are all on the battlefield, how can the courtiers fall behind?

The two immediately decided to send troops to the king of Qin!

Therefore, they concentrated the forces gathered in Nanning, divided them into two in terms of numbers, generally defended the city, echoed the emperor from afar, and indirectly helped the emperor, and the other half went north to King Qin and went directly to rescue the emperor.

The number of people in the second team is basically the same, but in terms of strength, King Qin's people are the best, and the person who leads the troops is Xiang Rong's younger brother Xiang Tian, who is both civil and military, and is really the number one elite of Gancheng who relies on Xiang Jia.

Because the backbone of the Qinwang army are all clan soldiers of various families, not only that, but also the elite of the clan soldiers, all of whom are proud and fierce, which is very difficult to control, and Xiang Tian is particularly good at managing these people.

As soon as he took office, he immediately killed the patriarch of a middle-aged family with a thunderbolt, so as to deter the whole army, and the military discipline was suppressed, and the battle of the whole army was raised by two levels.

Now this 150,000-strong Guangxi Qinwang army is advancing towards Yizhou!

The rest of these people, in addition to the 150,000 armor-worn men, there are also the old, weak, sick, disabled and young women, most of these people have fled from other places, and naturally they also hate the heavenly army to the core, just like the young men in their family, so they have become a force to be reckoned with in defending the city.

Therefore, in addition to the 150,000 left, the defensive force of Nanning City now also has the help of all the people.

In this way, although the remaining troops are relatively weak soldiers, they are stronger in terms of actual ability.

Whenever the defenders of the city hold the belief that they will live and die with the city, they will greatly improve their combat capability.

The main force besieging Nanning was the four armies of the Celestial Army Field Army, with a total strength of 120,000 troops.

The former commander-in-chief of the enemy was Commander Sun Gang, who was the first to come here to deploy a qiē, and he was the only army at the beginning.

Then, Jiang Hanxiong, Xu Hua, and Wang Jianmin arrived one after another, and completed the encirclement of Nanning from all directions.

Jiang Hanxiong's army came from Hezhou, and his army's initial task at the beginning of the uprising was to take the eastern part of Guangxi and connect the capital of Hunan Hezhou, and then wait for an opportunity to move, either to attack the Hunan army in the east, or to go south to aid the brother troops in Guangxi.

As a result, they neatly occupied the entire territory of Hezhou, and went south to Wuzhou, helping Wang Jianmin's army there to complete the task of occupying Wuzhou.

Then, the two armies did not stop, and they went to Yulinzhou side by side, and together with Xu Hua there, they swept away the snobbery of the Qing army there.

Then, the three armies turned around and headed west, and entered Nanning Province, which is the provincial capital.

At this time, an interesting incident happened.

The current sect master of the 100,000 Great Mountain Bandit Gang, who had been silent for a long time, came to the door and said that he had come to join the gang and join the Heavenly Army.

On this dark night in the east, Sun Gang naturally heard Mike say that after all one hundred and eight people in their core force were confiscated by Mai Ke, Mai Ke persuaded him to return to the Heavenly Army, but he politely refused.

I didn't expect to cut off contact for such a long time, and this 100,000 sect of alternatives came to the door again.

Not only did the whole group of 20,000 people join the Heavenly Army, but they also brought a generous gift.

Of course, this is not a treasure of gold and silver, a beautiful woman and a famous horse, but a state!

It turned out that after long-term planning and careful preparation, the Shen Manchu Qing army was fighting fires everywhere, and when they were overstretched, they suddenly launched and took down the entire land of Shaohai in one fell swoop!

Then, with this greeting gift, come to serve the Heavenly Army!

When Mai Ke heard the news, he couldn't help but applaud this old friend - he really deserved to be a hero and extraordinary!

He immediately asked Lingxi to move and brought him a bottle of 80 degrees, with a note: Good job! See you on the battlefield of the decisive battle of the two rivers, and greater credit awaits you!

The Oriental night saw this bottle of wine and smiled!

Glancing at Mai Ke's note again, his smile continued to expand, then he opened it eighty degrees, simmered it in one gulp, and said: "Just this word, it's still extremely ugly! He doesn't know how to read it in this private school enlightenment?"

Sun Gang knew that this bandit leader was familiar with the boss Mai Ke, so he relieved himself and asked him what he planned to do in the future.

"I'm here to join the Heavenly Army! Finally, I'll hand over the sea to you, and I'll take my 20,000 Erlang to gallop across the field and compete with Mai Ke!"

The night in the East is not proud.

"Sure enough, hero! Why don't you take down the Nan Ning in front of you first, and then let's go north together, go to find Mai Ke, and participate in a general battle there?

"That's very good! I brought 10,000 sons, and there are 10,000 in Shaohai, and you can join the war at any time, as long as you send someone to take that place. ”

"Not for the time being, but I'll convey your intentions, they have their own arrangements, let's go meet the three commanders together. ”

As a result, when Shi Dakai arrived, he was greeted by the four army commanders plus the dark night in the east.

Shi Dakai listened to the introduction of Dongfang Dark, and immediately sealed him a position, the commander of the 100,000 troops of the Heavenly Army!

Due to the great achievements of 100,000 sects, Shi Dakai kept this name to commemorate.

Since the name is 100,000 troops, it is also set to be 100,000, which is actually the structure of a corps, between a corps and an army.

Then, Shi Dakai, together with Peter, who came with him, immediately held a contract combat meeting with the five army commanders.

It turned out that at the strategic meeting of the decisive battle of the two rivers, Mai Ke did not give Peter a specific task, but found a special time after the meeting, and the Big Four held a special meeting to study and arrange how the sailors could use it in the decisive battle.

Of course, Mai Ke will not ignore the water division, he has even considered the participation of the water tribe, of course, it will not be without the participation of the water division, from the name of this decisive battle, the decisive battle of "two rivers", you know how huge the proportion and position of the water war should be.

He did not give an order on the spot, not because he did not attach importance to water warfare, but because he attached too much importance to it, and it was necessary to specialize in boiling water for research.

Therefore, Peter, Zhang Yuan, and Liuhua were left behind by Mai Ke to discuss the plan of water warfare.

Part of this plan is to use the power of the "Boat Gang" established by Peter's father-in-law to get out of the stream and into the Huang!

That is, the ten dragons of the Boat Gang walked out of the Xijiang River, went to the Yellow River, and then passed through the Yellow River, entered the vast area of the Yellow River Valley, and participated in the decisive battle!

Peter came here because the people of the Boat Gang were participating in the uprising in Guangxi, cooperating with the land army to seize the territory.

Withdrawing halfway is obviously the next policy, and the only way to do so is to speed up the resolution of the battle and then arrange the next step with confidence.

Now the strength of the Heavenly Army has reached 130,000, all of them are elite soldiers and strong generals! 120,000 field troops plus 10,000 bandits!

What about the enemy? 150,000 soldiers, plus no less than 150,000 auxiliary troops!

In terms of numbers, it greatly surpasses the Heavenly Army, but it is not as far as the Heavenly Army!

Therefore, only compared to combat effectiveness, the defenders are inferior to the heavenly army!

However, the defenders had high walls and barriers, and the Celestial Army had to attack from the back, which put the Celestial Army in a great disadvantageous situation.

This difference in the shape of the offensive and defensive sides not only neutralized the superiority of the Heavenly Army, but also greatly inferiorized the Heavenly Army, because since ancient times, military strategists have followed the concept of "double encirclement".

That is, the troops besieging the city should not be less than twice as strong as the defending force!

Where does the Heavenly Army have such an advantage!

Everyone was at a loss for a while.

"There it is!"

The Oriental night is shooting!
