Chapter 175: Soldiers Enter Xingquan
And just when Fang Xiong was dreaming of exterminating the Vermilion Bird Army and then being promoted to become rich, the Vermilion Bird Army had quietly left Ruzhou Mansion and secretly headed for Xingquan Mansion in the east.
Because when the army set out, in order to hide the effect of surprise victory, the action was very secretive and did not reveal a trace of rumors.
Xingquan Mansion is located in the eastern part of Ruzhou, and it was included in the last imperial court's three-way siege plan. However, under Maoyan's thunder plan, Xingquan Mansion suffered heavy losses. Not only were many of the generals of the patrol battalion killed, but even the prefect was killed in the Maoyan attack.
Coupled with the ensuing guerrilla raids and a series of sabotage operations, the entire Xingquan Province was plunged into chaos. After the arrival of the new prefect, he was busy restoring order and reorganizing the patrol battalion, and he had no time to pay attention to the Suzaku Army entrenched in Ruzhou.
Moreover, in order to attack the east and west, the Vermilion Bird Army deliberately strengthened its offensive in the Guangshun area, which successfully made Xingquan Mansion think that the direction of the Vermilion Bird Army's attack was not here, so Xingquan Mansion couldn't help but relax its vigilance a little.
But they never thought that the Suzaku Army's attack on Guangshun was fake, and the attack on Xingquan was real. At present, the Suzaku Army is marching towards Xingquan under the stars, and has connected several counties of Xingquan along the way.
"What's going on? Aren't the Suzaku rebels attacking Quang Thuan? Why did you come to my fountain? As soon as he connected to several defeated military reports, Liu Wentao, the prefect of Xingquan, couldn't help but be a little confused.
He never thought that the Vermilion Bird Army would be so fierce, and it would actually count several counties in a short period of time, and now it was about to arrive at Xingquan City.
"Your Excellency, the Suzaku rebels are menacing, so let's hurry up and ask for help! Otherwise, it will be too late! Xingquan knew that Zhao Xianping's face was panicked.
"Panic what! It's just a little rogue, what is there to be afraid of! Look at the way you look like a court official! Looking at Zhao Xianping's panicked appearance, Liu Wentao couldn't help but feel disgusted.
In Maoyan's thunder plan, Zhao Xianping was assassinated at the same time as Su Wenhuan, the former governor of Xingquan Mansion. It's just that Zhao Xianping was lucky and only injured a trace of fur, but Su Wenhuan was headshot by a sniper from Maoyan on the spot.
So the white flowers in that head sprinkled Zhao Xianping's face on the spot, and Zhao Xianping was immediately frightened and fainted.
And Zhao Xianping is just a weak scholar, he has never seen such a scene, and since then he has left a problem with cramps when he sees tofu brain.
This time, when he heard that the Vermilion Bird Army was attacking in a big way, he lost his sense of proportion in a panic, and only then did he calm down after being scolded by Liu Wentao.
"The prefect forgives the sin, and the official is rude."
Liu Wentao couldn't help but slow down his tone, after all, the enemy army was pressing, and it was better to clash with Zhao Xianping, "Lord Zhao is serious, and the old man was just a little anxious just now. ”
Then I saw Zhao Xianping say with a worried face: "My lord, although this Suzaku rebel army is just a group of grass bandits, it can't be taken lightly!" They were able to capture Ruzhou in a short period of time, and launched a series of sneak attacks and assassinations, they must have been planning for a long time, although the city of Xingquan Mansion is high and deep, but they can't be cautious! ”
Liu Wentao was also shaken when he heard this, although he didn't think that the Vermilion Bird Army could set off much of a storm, but it didn't mean that he would despise the Vermilion Bird Army. After all, some time ago, the movement of the Suzaku Army was too big, and several state capitals around Ruzhou were turned upside down, and even the prefects of Xingquan and Taizhou died in that assassination.
So after thinking about it for a while, Liu Wentao said: "Okay, you immediately send a letter to Lord Yin, let him send reinforcements quickly, it is best to ask the Jiangning patrol battalion of the Governor to follow and pursue, and when the time comes, the anti-thieves will definitely be annihilated under Xingquan City!" ”
"No!"
Zhao Xianping went down to prepare after receiving the order, and at the same time Liu Wentao also ordered to strengthen the armament to resist the Suzaku rebels.
The Vermilion Bird Army had been planning for a long time to advance eastward, and it was like a bamboo along the way, and soon the troops came to Xingquan City.
Ganluo Road is one of the nine provinces in Cangnan, and the overall ranking is not up or down in the whole province, Xingquan, Taizhou, Ruzhou, and Guangshun are all the state capitals under Ganluo Road. Because of the Suzaku Army's uprising, the entire Ganluo Road has been turned upside down.
And Ganluo Dao Yin Pang Tianzheng, these days are even more difficult to sleep.
Because he was unable to control the rebellion in Ruzhou at the first time, and because he was helpless against the large-scale rebellion of the Suzaku Army, this put him under great pressure.
In fact, Pang Tianzheng was also very aggrieved, originally when he received the counterinsurgency order from the Governor's Office, he had already begun to transfer troops to prepare for the counterinsurgency, after all, Ruzhou was under his rule. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Vermilion Bird Army had been planning for a long time, and had already planted ambushes in various state capitals around Canglan Mountain, and once it was activated, half of Ganluo Dao would change the sky.
"Report! Xingquan urgent! ”
Just when Pang Tianzheng was having a headache about the riots and attacks that were constantly occurring in various places, suddenly the official sent an urgent report from Xingquan Mansion.
Pang Tianzheng took the urgent report and saw it, and immediately slapped it on the table angrily.
"Smack!"
"Damn Suzaku traitor!" I saw Pang Tianzheng scolding with a blue face.
In order to contain the enemy's forces and expand his strategic depth, Li Yun organized a guerrilla training class and trained many guerrilla officers. He scattered these guerrilla officers and turned them into guerrilla units.
And these guerrillas won the true inheritance of the red guerrillas of those years, and brought the essence of guerrilla warfare to the extreme. So when these guerrillas infiltrated the various state capitals of the empire, it was like Sun Wukong entering the belly of Princess Iron Fan, turning the entire Ganluo Dao into a mess of porridge.
Mine warfare, sparrow warfare, wasp warfare, fixed-point blasting, long-range sniping, in short, all kinds of unguardable combat methods, make the provinces of Ganluo Dao want to die.
Every day, Pang Tianzheng would receive more than a dozen reports of guerrilla sabotage attacks. In order to deal with those slippery guerrillas, Pang Tianzheng spent a lot of time, energy, and troops, but with little success, and now it is difficult to send reinforcements to Xingquan.
So after hesitating for a while, Pang Tianzheng reported to the Jiangning Governor's Mansion and asked the Governor to order the counterinsurgency army to march towards Xingquan and gather the Suzaku rebels under Xingquan City.
At the same time, although all the provinces were harassed by the guerrillas, Pang Tianzheng still transferred some troops to support Xingquan Province.
The fall of Ruzhou has already caused him great pressure, but if Xingquan still falls, then his Dao Yin will also be done.
And just when Pang Tianzheng was dispatching troops and preparing to support Xingquan Mansion, the forward troops of the Vermilion Bird Army had already arrived at the city of Xingquan Mansion.
This eastward advance, the Vermilion Bird Army was like a tiger out of a cage, attacking quickly and mercilessly. In addition to the previous plan to attack the west, it successfully diverted the attention of Xingquan Mansion, so the battle went extremely smoothly along the way.
