Chapter 15: Catching Up (1)

When he left Wujia Town, Wei Ze took a total of 800 people with him. Seven hundred men, one hundred women. The canopy boats that the teenagers were riding in drove steadily in the river, watching the unfamiliar scenery continue to appear, and they watched with a very longing gaze, chattering.

Most children are visiting such a far away place for the first time, and the feeling of freshness is inevitable. With such teenagers, all the older people are in a good mood. Wei Ze always felt that Ruan Xihao was a taciturn person, but he didn't expect that when he opened the conversation, Ruan Xihao was actually very cheerful. Speaking to the surroundings about the airborne attack on Wujia Town, Ruan Xihao explained the preparations ahead and the various problems encountered in an orderly manner. He even said that the people around him listened with relish. Finally, the main event of the airborne landing is the highlight.

After all, he was a person who had personally participated in airborne operations, and what Ruan Xihao said was concise and to the point, looking at the house as it turned out to be closer, all he thought about was how to land. Thanks to the full training, the 36 brothers are considered safe6, but the early morning in Wujia Town happened to be the most relaxing time, and such a group of people fell from the sky, and they didn't attract anyone's attention. Of course, this is not necessarily that no one notices, many people are just afraid that they can't believe their eyes when they see these things.

Ruan Xihao's words were so colorful that even Wei Ze listened to them. The guards of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south next to Wei Ze, listened with relish. The fact that something so shocking as airborne appeared on the battlefield did indeed require many times of repeated digestion before it could be fully accepted.

Of course, after this part, there is not much to listen to. Wei Ze pushed the guard sitting beside him, "But I don't know when the King of Nan can say that he will meet in Guilin?" ”

At this time, it was already May 12, Wei Ze was not familiar with the history of the Taiping Army, and he knew about the final capture of Nanjing. Shi Dakai was eventually killed, and he knew it. But what cities the Taiping army had conquered, Wei Ze did not know. Even if he got eight hundred troops whose combat effectiveness was not very strong now, Wei Ze was very satisfied. Although young people have limited combat effectiveness, they cannot be called burdens. As long as they are taken care of, they are no worse than adults on the march. With this batch of additions, Weezer's troops have jumped from more than 3oo people who have just come out to a large army of 2ooo people. Now all that needs to be considered is to join the main force of the Taiping army as much as possible.

"King Nan just urged Wei to take his troops to Guilin, but he didn't say more." The guards now threw themselves to the ground with the five bodies that Wei Ze admired, and they no longer dared to serve any of the guards' shelves.

Since Wei Ze decided to join the main force of the Taiping army, he didn't think about anything extraneous, "We rushed to Guilin as soon as we arrived at the camp. I have to lead the way with my brothers. ”

"This should naturally work for Wei Checkpoint." The guard said respectfully.

When they arrived at the camp in Wuzhou, Lin Asheng and others greeted Wei Ze, and Wei Ze immediately held a meeting. As soon as they heard that Wuzhou would not be hit, the brothers were relieved. In these days, the brothers who stayed in the camp have reconnoitred Wuzhou many times, and everyone knows very well that Wuzhou is not easy to fight. The Taiping army lacked manpower, and it was definitely not possible to fight hard. Wei Ze proposed not to attack Wuzhou, but to join the main force of the Taiping army, and no one objected.

All that remained was the marching arrangement, and the troops did not go out immediately, but rested for two days first. Wei Ze talked to the brains of the Heaven and Earth Society again, whether the Heaven and Earth Society wanted to follow Wei Ze, or was prepared to stay and continue to fight against the Manchus. Only two or three people who had participated in the battle of Wujiazhen such as Liang Changtai in the Heaven and Earth Society saw the strength of the Taiping Army clearly and chose to join Wei Ze's troops. The others were all wait-and-see, and Hu Chenghe also tried his best to persuade them, but he only pulled forty or fifty people to join the Taiping Army piecemeal.

As soon as the two-day preparation period was over, Wei Ze led 18 soldiers under the command of four brigade commanders, and the troops of more than 2ooo people began to march north. According to the information provided by the guards, all the troops that the Qing army could fight at this time rushed to Guilin. Along the way, there may be only the Qing army in Yong'an City.

Sure enough, there were no enemies along the way, and when the large army arrived at Dayuan, they smelled the smell of corpses in the mountains that had not completely dissipated from a distance. Thinking of the fierce battle a month ago, Wei Ze actually had a feeling that things were wrong.

When the main force of the Taiping army went north, it did not pass through Yong'an, but went out from Dayuan and took a small road outside Lipu City to Guilin. Wei Ze also chose this path, and the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society along the way were all friends of Luo Xuan, and they had already led the way to the Taiping Army once, and now they were naturally willing to do it again. From the information they received from them, the Taiping army continued to besiege Guilin. Now Wei Ze finally put his mind at ease.

However, on May 2o, the news brought back by the reconnaissance unit startled Weese. The Taiping army under the city of Guilin has broken the siege, and there is no trace at this time. And the Qing army undoubtedly knew the news of Wei Ze's troops, and a Qing army of more than 2ooo people was attacking Wei Ze's side. Look at the banner is Liu Changqing's troops.

"Still not sure where the Taiping army is going?" This is Weeser's primary concern.

"I only know that the Taiping army crossed the Li River and continued to the north, and there were too many Qing troops in front, so I really didn't dare to chase after it." The soldier of the reconnaissance unit said a little embarrassed.

Wei Ze also didn't want to blame the comrades of the reconnaissance unit, everyone has been saving for so long, and just one type can completely expose their identities. According to the intelligence of the reconnaissance troops, the Qing army had undoubtedly appeared with Wei Ze's troops. If Wei Ze continued to advance, he would be directly integrated into the heavy army group of the Qing army.

"Let's avoid the demon first!" Zhang Yingchen said.

"No!" Weeser said. This attitude surprised the brothers, according to intelligence, the number of Qing troops was at least twenty or thirty thousand, and Wei Ze's troops could not defeat one against ten.

Wei Ze continued: "Our troops are not as good as the Qing Demon, we know, and the Qing Demon also knows. Therefore, the Qing Demon dared to take the initiative to attack our department. If we can defeat the Qing Demon lightly, what will the Qing Demon think? ”

Wei Changrong has been promoted to brigade commander, and he took the lead in putting forward his opinion, "Liu Changqing has 2ooo people after all, if we suddenly attack, it is okay to catch him off guard." But Liu Changqing is very cunning, when we were outflanked by both wings, Liu Changqing ran away, and he couldn't catch up. ”

Hu Chenghe also supported Wei Changrong's idea, "If the Qing army turns around and encircles our troops, our troops will not be able to resist it." And since the kings have already gone north, and they can't get in touch with us, they don't have to count on them to kill them. If we can't defeat Liu Changqing with one blow and let Liu Changqing keep up with us, it will be difficult. ”

"Then let's just defeat this cunning Liu Changqing with one blow." Weser laughed.

Most of the officers at all levels were "old subordinates" who had followed Wei Ze for several months, and during the training, all of them had learned the words "strategy" and "tactics." What is Wei Ze's strategic ability, everyone has no chance to see it now, but Wei Ze always has an unexpected appearance in tactics, and there is no doubt that Wei Ze is the number one tactician in the current army. Seeing Wei Ze's confident appearance, the brothers also had some inexplicable confidence.

Wei Ze's fingers snag across the map, a road that had broken Liu Changqing and headed straight for Guilin. "Comrades, if we defeat Liu Changqing and go straight to Guilin, what will the Qing demon think?"

The officers looked at each other, what would the Qing army think? They probably think that the Taiping Army is killing themselves.

"The Qing Demon will feel that the main force of the Taiping Army going north is just a pretense, the purpose is to pull out a gap after mobilizing the Qing Demon, and we are an ambush that the Taiping Army has prepared for a long time. As long as we wait to fight under the city of Guilin, all the demons have to do is to intercept us immediately. Weeser said.

This explanation is too easy to understand, Wei Ze's troops took the initiative to jump into the enemy's encirclement, and the enemy would naturally take advantage of the situation to encircle Wei Ze's troops.

Wei Ze pointed to the map and said: "Then I will wave the ability of the march, and the brothers who arrived in Guilin will only harass them after they arrive at the city of Guilin, and then come back immediately." While the brothers of this army attack, we will only have to find our way north. ”
