They were not afraid to fight in the north, but they didn't dare to join forces with Li Dingjun and Jian Liangzhi, because they didn't know when they would be stabbed in the back.

But in addition to this, Li Dingjun also knows other factors, such as the fact that Luohai County is not calm inside, and the South China Sea New Army pulled up by the remnants of the Nanzhou Bank is tossed everywhere in Luohai County.

There are actually quite a few ground combat troops in Luohai County, and there are nearly 100,000 when it is fully counted.

But they are not under much pressure, especially the strength of Hetai County in the east has risen sharply in the past year, and they are grinding their fists and trying to move westward, so the main attention of Luohai County in the past year is actually focused on the east, they have reached an agreement with their neighbor Anlong County in the east, and sent at least 50,000 troops to Anlong County to resist the huge pressure of Hetai County.

There is also a certain amount of pressure over there, and troops need to be deployed, and the county town must also leave troops to garrison.

In normal times, Luohai County is actually able to draw out 30,000 or 40,000 mobile troops, which is very good.

But unfortunately, a few years ago, several feudal towns in Luo'an County teamed up to put Shao Binggan down once.

At that time, the more than 30,000 mobile troops led by Shao Bing were almost wiped out.

Although it has been rebuilt in the past two years, it is still a little worse in the end, and more importantly, it is now a lot of troops are also restrained by the remnants of the New Army in the South China Sea.

At this time, it is also a trouble for Luohai County to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to go north.

If only one or two hundred thousand people are sent, it is estimated that there will be no return.

was either killed by Lin Ziran or swallowed by Li Dingjun.

In this case, Shao Bing and them are also very difficult.

It's not that they don't want to send troops north, but the troops are tight, and they don't feel at ease with Li Dingjun.

Otherwise, they would not have supported Jian Liangzhi's return to Luo'an.

Spend money and guns to support Li Dingjun and Jian Liangzhi, and then send a fleet to fight with them, in Shao Bing's opinion, as long as Li Dingjun and they are not stupid to leave the Luo River too far, the huge fleet of the Luo Hai Fleet can ensure the safety of these tens of thousands of troops!

As long as these tens of thousands of troops are not destroyed, then Lin Ziran will not be able to unify Luo'an County.

If this continues to fight, Shao Bing will be able to seize the time to exterminate the bastards of the South China Sea New Army who are making trouble everywhere first.

Shao Bing has this idea, and Du Zhikuan is not stupid!

If there is a chance to go south, he is actually willing to go south, but to be honest, the troops in his hands now are not as many as Lin Ziran.

Guang'an is not as populous as Luo'an, rich in resources, and raising 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers is basically the limit, and any more will be cannibalistic.

The four sides of Guang'an are also enemies, plus Guang'an and Hexi County are not blocked by high mountains and mountains, a large plain area, and the cavalry of Hexi County is also relatively powerful.

Guang'an had to guard against the fact that Hexi County killed him without paying attention.

You Guang'an want to seize Luo'an, and Hexi County still wants to go east to Guang'an!

Then there were those people of the South China Sea New Army, which restrained a lot of mobile troops under Du Zhikuan's command.

Now Du Zhikuan's garrison on the side of Chongguang City is less than 10,000 people, as for the south.

Wait, wait, wait.

This is what Shao Bing and Du Zhikuan think!

Alas, this is not what they want, but everyone is having a hard time now......

If you want to send troops to Luoan, you are also powerless!

Moreover, Zhao Song, Li Dingjun, and Jian Liangzhi combined with more than 50,000 troops.

Even if Lin Ziran's troops can fight again, it is impossible to wipe them out in a short time.

As long as the war is prolonged, it will be much easier to deal with the future!

However, thinking so, they obviously still failed to pay attention to the huge power of the rear-loading guns and new tactics of the various troops under Lin Ziran's command.

Outsiders always thought that they were the generals under Jian Minggang, such as Zhen Changdong, who were cowardly and cowardly, and then betrayed Jian Minggang, which allowed Lin Ziran to seize the county seat.

However, they obviously forgot that when Zhen Changdong and they beat Zhao Dong before, it was quite violent, but no one said anything about surrendering.

Zhen Changdong, why did they surrender to Lin Ziran in the end?

Because I can't beat it......

And it's not that they can't be beaten in general, if the two sides fight back and forth, and finally lose, they won't surrender so simply.

The actual situation is that their troops are simply unable to resist in the face of Lin Ziran's troops equipped with rear-loading guns and using new tactics, and they don't even know how to face it.

One could only watch as their infantry phalanxes collapsed one after another under the enemy's powerful firepower, and finally the whole army was defeated, fled, or surrendered.

This kind of despair is difficult for those who have not experienced it firsthand.

So they scolded Zhen Changdong for being cowardly and cowardly, and they had a backbone in the back of their heads, but they didn't think about Zhen Changdong Why they surrendered so simply!

Therefore, the subsequent series of war developments once again shocked the jaws of the world!

On April 29, 51 years of Yongchang, Li Dingjun and Jian Liangzhi joined forces and led a total of 30,000 troops to the north along the Luo River, covered by more than 20 river warships of the Dingjiang Fleet and the Luo Hai Fleet, and more than 100 steam ships to transport a large number of logistical supplies.

On 1 May, a skirmish broke out between the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the cavalry unit to which Zhao Song belonged, led by Lin Ziran himself.

There were casualties on both sides.

On May 4, the 1st Division under Lin Ziran made a rapid detour along the left flank, intercepted a group of about 8,000 enemy troops, and after a fierce battle, annihilated hundreds of enemies!

However, more than 5,000 enemy troops surrendered on the spot, and the rest fled in a rout!

When the war report of this battle arrived in Lin Ziran's hands, Lin Ziran only smiled: "With the talent of Zhongshu, commanding a division is really overkill!" ”

But when the war report arrived in Zhao Song's hands, Zhao Song was directly stunned for a while!

He has been in the army for many years, and the loss of 8,000 troops is certainly a lot, and the impact is also great.

But a simple loss will make his heart ache and make him angry, but it will never make him so distracted!

He looked at the battle report repeatedly, word by word, this battle report was summarized by many officers who escaped from the route, and it had simulated the real situation at that time as much as possible.

But Rao is so experienced in war, he still can't describe the battle experience described in the war report!

Are you kidding!

Look at what is written above, it is said that at the beginning of the battle, an infantry regiment with ten infantry companies and a total strength of about 1,000 people on our side began to line up and defend on the spot after the reconnaissance cavalry reported the discovery of enemy troops, but not long after, it was hit by a sudden and dense fire on the flank, so that it collapsed instantly.

Many front-line officers said that the enemy firepower came from a hill about 300 meters away, and according to the density of fire, it was at least 5,000 troops.
