111 Go north again
A conference was held for a day, but in the end, the harvest of Hongmen was that eight or nine out of ten tribes in the alliance had returned, and in the end, only six or seven medium-sized tribes were still hesitant and did not make a choice.
There are no choices for these tribes, but for Li Tianyang at this time, he doesn't care about it, because he knows very well that these few tribes will leave them no choice at all, and within the time specified by themselves, the other party will inevitably disarm and surrender.
And the most important purpose of weaving a net to get all this done by himself is to absorb the remaining tribal armies to support Wu Jie in the northeast.
The war in the northeast has been a stalemate, and after the loss of the Gongchangling Walled City, although the second line of defense of the Hongtang army played a big role, the loss of its headquarters was also great. Without a strong and other city defense offensive, the Qing army was able to give full play to their numerical advantage, facing the 40,000 Hongtang army, which contained many wounded, but its troops were pressing step by step, and the proportion of battle losses between the two sides gradually narrowed.
The 20,000 new reinforcements in the past certainly relieved the siege of the Hongtang Division, which was short of manpower, but the new recruits who had only undergone the training of the Hongmen militia were a little unbearable, and it was not of great help to Shang Kexi.
Therefore, at this moment, the biggest motivation for Li Tianyang to adopt the Bengang Alliance came from the warriors that the remaining tribes could provide.
After the Angelica was a foregone conclusion, Hongmen immediately drew troops from these newly returned tribes and prepared to organize the largest, and almost last, reinforcements of the future.
According to the plan, among these newly returned tribes, about 40,000 elite warriors can be drawn. Soon, Hongmen had already recruited more than 25,000 people, and the following more than 10,000 people should be able to complete the assembly in about a week.
"Door master, did you transport this group of soldiers to the northeast first?"
Dong Haoran, who was in charge of the transportation between Hongmen Dayuan Island and Phoenix City in Northeast China, found Li Tianyang at this time, and he had just rushed back from Northeast China, so he had a more detailed understanding of the situation in Northeast China, so he made suggestions to Li Tianyang quite worriedly.
"No!!"
Li Tianyang categorically vetoed Dong Haoran's suggestion, and at this time, Li Tianyang himself also reflected in his heart, why the situation of his army in the northeast did not develop as expected, and the biggest reason was that the entire Hongmen, especially Li Tianyang, was too indecisive, thinking that he could take advantage of the flaws of the Qing people to seize their power and weaken their strength; But on the one hand, they are unwilling to move and truly achieve a desperate attitude.
In the end, Hongmen himself turned a war into a refueling tactic, and failed to give full play to the maximum strength of Hongtang's army.
Up to now, the stalemate situation in the northeast and the countless soldiers who have sacrificed their lives have to be counted on the heads of the high-level Hongmen leaders.
But fortunately, Li Tianyang himself reflected and reacted, at this moment, the last army, he was not ready to transport it to the northeast in batches, but decided to wait until the whole army was in place, and then send it to the northeast in one go.
Even, when this army should go to battle and where it should land from the shore, Li Tianyang was not ready to hand it over to Wu Jie's command, but sent Bai Yushan, who returned to Bengang Academy for further study, to command.
By the time all the planned indigenous armies were in place, the time was two days earlier than expected, which showed how much the indigenous tribes had grown and grown with the help of Hongmen over the years.
"Let's go!"
Li Tianyang personally saw off Bai Yushan, looking at this army of hope with expectant eyes, waiting for them to bring back the news of victory.
"Remember the points I told you, you must not land easily until the signal appears, even if Commander Wu Jie of Phoenix City strongly asks you, don't pay attention to it!"
"Yes, my subordinates understand!!"
As a peasant army in the bottom of the hard work for more than ten years, with rich combat experience, and later because of the military command ability, was recommended by He Sanjiang to return to Dayuan Island for further study, just graduated to catch up with this major event, about to command tens of thousands of elite Hongtang soldiers of the commander, in his thirties is in the prime of life Bai Yushan can not find a trace of fault and other military salutes, accompanied by a sonorous and powerful response, can be regarded as a firm reply to Li Tianyang.
More than 200 2,000 ships of the sea Yang Fan Yuan market, heading towards the north on the other side of the ocean, in the eastern territory of today's era, can also organize hundreds of sea ships at one time, transport tens of thousands of soldiers and their corresponding supplies to sail thousands of miles away, except for Hongmen, no other force has this ability.
In the prosperous waterway of the past, such a huge fleet was seen from a distance, and the rest of the caravans and Haikou ships turned around and left, not daring to approach this fleet at all, lest the dozen or so Hongtang fleet ships escorted by the escort become a few waves on this sea.
Even the major vassal states that were deeply hostile to Hongmen withdrew their minions because of the great strength displayed by Hongmen, and could only secretly watch Hongmen's every move with their dirty eyes.
At this moment, in the southern hills of the northeast Gongchangling line, the remnants of the Hongtang army used their resolute tenacity, strange firearms and powerful jungle combat strength to block the Qing army that broke through the Gongchangling Castle in this hill.
The reason why Shang Kexi and they wanted to block the main force of the Qing Dynasty from this hilly area at any cost was because they knew that the Qing army they were facing at this moment was not their complete strength, and whether it was the siege battle before or the current mountain battle, it was not the place where the main force of the Qing people were most proud, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, to exert their might.
After leaving this hill, the Qing people will face an empty plain, and even if they want, they can gallop to the south shore of the coast where Hongmen is under their control in two days and two nights.
Except for the fortified city of Phoenix City on the plain, the rest of the strongholds controlled by Hongmen are basically difficult to do with the assistance of tens of thousands of Qing Dynasty iron cavalry and more infantry troops.
Although the dock fort built for the people is good, it is more just for the people to avoid disasters during the war and avoid the anger of the Qing people when they are about to fight. But when the defeat of Hongmen has been revealed, and the Qing people look back and turn their attention to these dock forts, where can they help anything!
Therefore, Shang Kexi had to think about the overall situation and make sure to block the Qing army from this hill.
