* Yinan stopped his horse and laughed: "Okay, you are a Su Jingrong, you are a Linhai person, but you keep saying what to protect Huangyan!" Are you ready to let us Huangyan people fight for you to have a bright future? What a calculation! How to protect Huangyan, we Huangyan people do it ourselves. "In terms of background, Mu Yinan is an authentic native of Huangyan County, while Su Jingrong, although close to Huangyan, is an out-and-out Linhai person.

In this era of Taizhou, the capital city is located in Linhai, but the governance of Huangyan Town is located in Huangyan County, and the Taizhou Association is only an association under the jurisdiction of Huangyan Town, and Huangyan is richer than Linhai, so there are naturally many disputes between the two counties.

It's just that Su Jingrong also stopped the horse, and he asked Mu Yinan loudly: "Brother Yinan wants to be wronged with the red thief, I remember, your hands are stained with the blood of the Red Turban Army, if you want to be wronged, it depends on whether Liu Jiehu is willing to spare you." "Mu Yinan's Haoqiang has always been a red man in front of Huangyan County, many things that are inconvenient for the county to come forward to do, are directly arranged by Mu Yinan, this time the Yueqing Red Turban Army uprising, Huangyan County also has Qu Zhenhan's relationship in response, the result is that there is no need to send out soldiers, Mu Yinan directly killed dozens of Red Turban Army, and calmed down the situation in Huangyan County.

This can be regarded as a big enmity with the Red Turban Army, but Mu Yinan also laughed: "Su Jingrong, you have worked hard for the government all these years, have you killed fewer people than me?" Isn't the Red Turban Army in Linhai done by you? Su Jingrong also exterminated the Red Turban Army in Linhai, so he was not afraid to talk about this: "What is it to kill a few people, what I want is a future, Mu Yinan, you tell me the truth, how are you going to defend Huangyan County?" ”

"How do you keep it?" Mu Yinan's eyes suddenly had a sharp edge, this Huangyan County's leading hero had already planned: "Huangyan County can't hold it?" ”

"How is that possible?" Su Jingrong felt that Mu Yinan valued Liu Jiehu too much: "Huangyan City is not Taiping County!" "Huangyan is the residence of Huangyan Town, although the name of the county "Huangyan" is added in front of this Huangyan Town,

However, it is a large military town responsible for the water and land defense of the entire Taizhou, with more than 11,000 soldiers in its heyday, and there are still five or six thousand soldiers, with three battalions of the town's standard water division, three battalions of Taizhou Xie, and two battalions of Ninghai and Taiping.

Up to now, Huangyan Town is only the Taiping Battalion broken by the Red Turban Army, and the rest of the battalions are still intact, and Huangyan County is the town standard station, Huangyan Town will never give up its own station, and it is only possible to gather troops to defend Huangyan County.

In this way, Huangyan County will definitely far outperform Taiping County in terms of garrison, and it will be much more difficult for Liu Jiehu to capture Huangyan City than Taiping County.

But Mu Yinan immediately analyzed for Su Jingrong: "Although Huangyan Town can gather large troops, but the military town is stationed in the whole county, how many soldiers can be transferred back in a hurry, and the three battalions of Taizhou Association are transferred to Huangyan, don't you want Nose City?" ”

Although Huangyan Town has five or six thousand soldiers, they are stationed in the water, land and flood fields with a large number of soldiers in peacetime, and the defenders in each county town are often only two or three hundred, and there is a lack of sufficient mobile troops in wartime.

Mu Yinan continued: "Besides, what kind of level my officers and soldiers in Huangyan Town are, Su Jingrong, you know better than me, if these town soldiers are useful, why should the government use us people."

It is precisely because the green battalion soldiers are unusable that many times it is necessary to use places like Su Jingrong and Mu Yinan to quell the civil uprising, and sometimes the government has reached the point where it cannot do without Mu Yinan and Su Jingrong.

What's more, Mu Yinan still hasn't said anything, Huangyan Town, a military town, is set up to be more important than land defense, and there are many sailor battalions.

Su Jingrong's face tensed suddenly: "Then according to Brother Yinan, this Huangyan City can't be defended no matter what?" ”

"Huangyan City can't be defended, but Huangyan can be defended!" Mu Yinan patted Su Jingrong's shoulder: "This Huangyan offense and defense will depend more on Brother Jingrong!" ”

"Huangyan City can't be defended, Huangyan can be defended?" Su Jingrong repeated Mu Yinan's words: "Brother Yinan really woke up the dreamer with one word!" Mu Yinan said very proudly on the horse: "It doesn't matter if Liu Juehu doesn't enter Huangyan City, if he enters Huangyan City, I will let these red turban thieves come and go!" He continued to say triumphantly: "I have also heard that Liu Jiehu is the most courageous of the thieves, with three hundred real long hairs and more than a thousand new long hairs, all of whom can fight hard, but although this thief is fierce, there are less than two thousand people. Su Jingrong knows more about Liu Jiehu's inside story than Mu Yinan: "The Liu thief went north to Taizhou this time, and the momentum was huge, but as far as I know, there are less than 2,000 soldiers. ”

It was precisely because of the intelligence that there were no more than 2,000 red thieves in Liu Jiehu, Su Jingrong decided to stand on the side of the Qing Dynasty, although the Liu thieves were brave, but there were too few soldiers and horses, as long as there was a defeat, they could not turn over, and the Qing Dynasty soldiers were endlessly supported, and the battle to the final victory was bound to be the Qing Dynasty. That year, Nan patted the horse's belly and said: "That's right, there are not more than 2,000 people, we have 2.7 million mouths in the six counties of Taizhou, even if there are 2,700 thieves under the willow thieves, but these six counties are only 450, and a large county with hundreds of thousands of mouths can clean up 450 red thieves." Su Jingrong praised repeatedly: "Brother Nan is high, Brother Nan is high!" "Now that the red thieves are gathered in Taiping, there are not many flaws, but if Liu Jiehu enters Huangyan City, how many mobile soldiers can he have?" He wrenched his fingers and calculated for Liu Chang: "Huangyan and Taiping are two county seats, even if he only leaves 300 soldiers in each county, then he will occupy 600 soldiers, and he has to worry that my Qing soldiers will cover his back road from Jinhua and Xianju, and there will be 200 soldiers to protect his grain route, at least this will go to 800 soldiers, and whether he goes north to Linhai or west to Xianju, he will always have to bring 1,000 soldiers to fight, right?" In this way, how many soldiers and horses can be maneuvered under his command! He can be regarded as finding a big flaw in Liu Changjun's army: "If Liu Jiehu occupies the third city, then he must garrison hundreds of defenders, so that there are flaws everywhere, maybe the garrison of Huangyan County will be transferred, and we will be able to break the red thieves when the righteous people in the township are launched together!" The Red Thieves are outnumbered, and if there is only one setback, they will definitely collapse and cannot recover. The lack of troops is indeed a difficulty that Liu Chang cannot solve at present, but Su Jingrong thinks more far-reaching: "The red thief has just arrived in Tai County, and he is not familiar with the place, so he can let the loyal and brave militia pretend to be a thief to join him, and then he can launch it in unison!" "Brother Jing Rong thinks very much!" Mu Yinan already had a strategy: "When the time comes, the righteous people of Taiping and Huangyan counties will be launched at the same time, and you and I will each gather thousands of militias at the same time, and I am afraid that we will not be able to take a small Huangyan county." However, Su Jingrong was far-sighted: "If you and I can't do anything, and the red thieves counterattack, then what should we do?" "Then retreat to Jiahuai and enter the sea, and the upper and lower Dachen is enough to garrison 10,000 people!" Mu Yinan continued: "The thief army is brave, all on land, and there is no benefit of the boat division, and there is a sailor in Dinghai Town to respond to me, when the time comes, you and I can copy from the waterway at any time, hundreds of miles off the coast of Taizhou, Liu Juehu is absolutely unable to take care of everything, can only be exhausted everywhere, as long as you and I defeat the willow thief, we will be able to exchange for a glory and wealth." ”

"Good!" Su Jingrong nodded again and again, admitting that Mu Yinan had thought it through: "Brother Yinan is strategizing, and the red thief will be broken, but if you want to break through the two counties of Taiping and Huangyan, you must bring two vicious dogs to help!" Mu Yinan breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "Those two vicious dogs?" Su Jingrong immediately replied: "Qi Tian Yong, Guan Jiyong!" Mu Yinan sighed: "That's not two vicious dogs, it's two white-eyed wolves!" It's just that the next moment, he has already agreed to Su Jingrong's suggestion: "But if you want to deal with Liu Juehu, you have to use these two white-eyed wolves!" It depends on when Liu Jiehu jumps into Huangyan City? "It's been three days since the Hong army captured Taiping County, and now the atmosphere in the county is much more relaxed, and now all the shops have reopened, but there are many fewer customers.

It's just the first time he seized a county town, and Liu Chang actually had some nostalgia for the time when he cooperated with the Red Turban Army.

During that time, he only needed to consider military issues, and the Red Turban Army with him had as many as six or seven thousand troops, and there were Red Turban Army troops all over the mountains and fields for dozens of miles.

However, the Rainbow Army fought independently, so it could only rely on its own bare hands to fight the world, and now although the Rainbow Army advancing north is the main force, the total strength is only more than 1,600 people, and it has paid 123 casualties in the battle to capture Taiping County.

Therefore, the Hong Army, which entered Taiping County, did not rush north into Taiping County, but carried out a rest, and at the same time dispatched a battalion of troops every day to gradually expand around the county, and expanded the control area with the tactics of horse racing.

Even so, the entire population of Taiping County, especially in rural areas, remained suspicious of the Rainbow Army, and militia groups in individual villages openly gathered to try to confront the Rainbow Army.

In addition, the remnants of the Qing army that escaped from Taiping County will be scattered in the county seat, and they are now wandering everywhere, and the Hong Army cannot take care of everything, so they have to give priority to solving the remnants of the enemy.

If he had two more infantry battalions in his hands, Liu Chang would immediately advance to Huangyan and then capture the capital city of Linhai, but now he could only stop and clear the remnants of the enemy and militia in Taiping County who dared to openly confront the Hong Army, and then continue to attack Huangyan.

If Taiping County falls into the hands of the enemy, then the entire Rainbow Army will be in a desperate situation of being blocked off the back road, so no matter how dangerous the situation is, Liu Chang must ensure that Taiping County is firmly controlled by the other side.

It's just that now Taiping County can be said to be facing the threat of enemy troops in all directions.
