Chapter 133: The Han Army's New Defense Layout

The hand-to-hand combat ended with the horizontal push of the Han army, and the quiet departure of the Han army also gave the Guangdong soldiers enough face. After this battle, the Guangdong soldiers also began to admit it, and the generals and commanders also began to pack up and leave Shaoguan City.

The Han army also handed over the corpses to the various units of the southern soldiers, and the corpses made the southern soldiers cry continuously. Sadly, they didn't die defending their homeland, but they died in the struggle for power.

After the southern soldiers left the city, nearly 200,000 troops also disbanded on their own, and the next battle of Guangzhou depended on Chen Xiong's ability. When the Han army occupied Guangzhou, they naturally obeyed orders, and since the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou has become a representative place of Lingnan economy and culture.

In the original history, there were only 500,000 people in Guangzhou, but when the Qing troops invaded, Guangzhou gathered a million people. Guangzhou exists in Guangdong, and if Guangzhou is defeated, many parts of Guangdong will surrender.

The Han army successfully took over Shaoguan City, and the Han army also hurriedly left the narrow official road. As soon as Shaoguan is passed, it is a small flat land with a flat river, at least the cavalry can charge at will.

Hermes-Epitek was busy camping and cooking, and the Han army began a new reorganization.

More than 200,000 Han troops gathered in the open space by the river: 30,000 Han Fifth Army, 30,000 Han Sixth Army (including wounded soldiers), 20,000 horses and horses of the two cavalry armies, 30,000 Black Ball Internal Guards, 100,000 elite militia and three pro-army.

More than 200,000 men and horses waited quietly for Chen Xiong to walk to the small high platform, and after a long march, the 100,000 first-class reserve militia also learned military discipline.

200,000 armored soldiers are neat, these are the equipment of the elite soldiers of the Ming army.

The army commanders held back the excitement in their hearts, they knew that a new expansion was about to begin.

"The commander of the Sixth Army of Han stepped forward."

"It's the lord." Lin Hu immediately strode forward, and when he saw the army commander being the first to come to power, the wounded soldiers of the Sixth Army of the Han Dynasty became excited. Nearly half of the Han Sixth Army died in the Jiangbei War, and the Han Sixth Army never retreated, which also proved that the Han Sixth Army was officially formed. At least their combat effectiveness has been able to toughen the elite of the Ming army.

The Sixth Army of the Han Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, and Chen Xiong sighed every time he thought about it! Especially looking at the many wounded soldiers, they still need someone to help them.

"Lin Hu Shaoguan City is related to the safety of Lingnan, you are willing to stay in Guancheng."

"My lord, the last general will swear to defend Shaoguan to the death." Lin Hu saluted and said resolutely.

Seeing that Lin Hu did not have a trace of reluctance, Chen Xiong was also relieved: "Okay, the Sixth Army of the Han Dynasty will first select 20,000 elite soldiers from the militia to expand the army to 50,000, and the families of the soldiers will be placed in the area from Yingde County to Qingyuan City. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Lin Hu thanked his subordinates.

Placing the soldiers' families nearby allows them to take turns to return home. It can strengthen the determination of the soldiers to defend the Shaoguan border.

Lin Hu stood behind Chen Xiong, and all the army commanders looked at each other to see who could step forward first.

The cavalry is always the top priority, Chen Xiong smiled and said: "Zhang Shouwu Li stepped forward." ”

"It's the lord." The commanders of the two armies of Zhang and Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and the training of cavalry soldiers was the most provocative.

"The two cavalry armies never lost their way after the road was broken, and the cavalry expanded to 15,000 cavalry. After the Sixth Army of the Han Dynasty, they went to the cavalry to select soldiers. ”

"It's the lord."

Wu Li and the others also immediately stepped back and stood beside Lin Hu.

The Black Ball General was not in a hurry at all, he knew that the Inner Guard was the last.

"Chen Chang of the Fifth Army of the Han Dynasty stepped forward."

"It's the lord." Chen Chang, a veteran of the battlefield, came step by step, and he still feels like a dream when the Han army has come to this day.

"The Fifth Army of the Han Dynasty expanded to 50,000 horses, went to Guangzhou with the headquarters, and was stationed on the Leizhou Peninsula after the year." Shaoguan ~ Guangzhou ~ Leizhou, three points on the north and south lines, just covering the whole of Guangzhou. This is also the strategic layout of the Han army in the last one or two years, and as for the interior of Guangxi, Chen Xiong does not dare to rashly move.

Chen Chang was stunned for a moment, and then received the order: "Respect the lord." ”

Chen Xiong knew that Chen Chang regretted that he couldn't stay in Guangzhou, but when the territory was bigger, they couldn't all nest in a small place in Guangzhou.

"Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet, and Chen Chang is back to the team."

"It's the lord." Chen Chang bowed deeply, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. He just couldn't react all at once, which is why Chen Xiong deliberately told him in advance.

"The commander of the Internal Guard Army and the left staff general stepped forward."

"It's the lord." The black ball smiled and took a few steps onto the small high platform.

Chen Xiong shook his head helplessly, this black ball almost didn't break the high platform as soon as it came up.

"The internal guard army was expanded to 50,000 troops and garrisoned in the city of Guangzhou. Military discipline must be done well, and if there is anything seriously disturbing the people, you will be asked. ”

"It's the lord, whoever dares to cause trouble, see if I don't break his legs." The black ball turned and shouted loudly, he was going to warn his men to be careful.

Although the Black Ball General was rude and impulsive, Chen Xiong believed in him even more. The safety of Guangzhou is not only about Lingnan, but also about the safety of his family.

There are 100,000 people in Guangzhou City, and at this moment, I don't know that they have been arranged in advance by Chen Xiong.

"General Zuo, you will start training 100,000 city defense troops, and the city defense troops will be stationed in various cities after the year."

"It's the lord." Zuo Zong was overjoyed, this was the first step for him to lead the troops alone. The lord had begun to believe in him, and he had entrusted him with the heavy responsibility.

"After the black ball, you cooperate with the left army commander to select the people."

"It's the lord." Blackball is also happy to put aside the militia thing.

"Thank you, Lord." A left army commander means that his Zuo Zongwei's status is no longer lower than that of the army commanders.

"Congratulations to Commander Zuo, I'm in trouble with Brother Zuo during this time." Wu Li bowed sincerely, and Zuo Zongwei met him a lot during this time.

Zuo Zongwei nodded, he knew the purpose of the lord letting him go to the Sixth Army of the Han Dynasty. Chen Chang is a veteran and already has his unique thoughts, Zhang Shou is smart and talented, and the army commanders are very immature in all aspects of Wu Li.

The Fifth Army of the Han Dynasty and the Sixth Army of the Han Dynasty had to select 20,000 people, and the two cavalry armies also had to select 10,000 people. The 100,000 militia was left with only 30,000 people in the end for Zuo Zongwei's city guards, but the Han army was the least lacking in young people.

After letting the army commanders start to expand the army, Chen Xiong left with the Han army. The familiar air and familiar temperature here in Lingnan made him can't help but rush to Guangzhou immediately.

The Han army easily let nearly 200,000 horses leave Shaoguan, and the generals of each army will not go to Guangzhou to resume their lives, but will return to their previous stations. They were all waiting for the results of the battle of Guangzhou, and Chen Xiong was the king of Lingnan, the king of Guangxi. The soldiers of Liangguang did not want to resist, but looked forward to the appearance of the king of Lingnan. Most of them Lingnan people can be a general at most, and there has been no new king for hundreds of years. The Han army swept through the Ming army in the north, which greatly satisfied the soldiers and people of Liangguang.

The Shaoguan city breaking battle and hand-to-hand combat also convinced the Liangguang soldiers, and at least 200,000 southern soldiers no longer had the mind to fight. But let them go to serve the Han army, they couldn't get over the face, so they all chose to leave first. In the battle of Guangzhou, they will be neutral, and the choice of war or peace will be made by the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Guangzhou.

Knowing that the Han army really entered Lingnan, the provinces south of the Yangtze River were relieved. At least for a long time, the king of Annam did not have the heart to go out of Lingnan, and even the king of Annam may be complacent by Lingnan and lose his enterprising spirit.

With the departure of the Guangdong soldiers and the Guangxi soldiers, Chen Xiong's name completely spread among the people. Especially in Lingzhou, next to Lianzhou, after knowing that King Annan was from Lingzhou, the people of Lingzhou were all angry. As soon as they meet outsiders, they will say that they are the hometowns of the Han army lords of the king of Annam. The people of Wushan were even more excited, and many young people in their teens and twenties began to rush to Guangzhou to support their fellow villagers to move into Guangzhou.

The towns, towns and townships of Lingzhou also began to form soldiers and horses to rush out of Guangxi to Guangzhou to support the villagers to live in Lingnan.

Even many Guangxi soldiers couldn't help but join, and entering Guangzhou was the most desirable thing for every Lingnan man.

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, which is the favorite sentence of the Han people in Lingnan. It is also because of the stubbornness of the Lingnan people that whenever the Central Plains Dynasty rises, they will send heavy troops to suppress Lingnan. The sword war in Lingnan is also the most frequent place in the provinces of Kyushu. Even after the founding of the country in later generations, Lingnan was heavily garrisoned.

In the original history of the invasion of Annam, the Han people on the border were also all soldiers, and everyone in the family carried guns. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Plants and Trees of the Late Ming Dynasty" for free reading for the first time.
