"Haha, you sailors have been in Anqing City for more than ten days, why haven't you captured Anqing yet? It seems that this tough battle has to rely on me Lin Hu! As soon as he arrived at the city of Anqing, as soon as he saw Geng Chen, Lin Hu couldn't help but show off.

"If I wanted to fight down, I would have beaten it a long time ago! Who would have waited so long if they hadn't wanted to eliminate some more reinforcements? I said, how can you not use your brain when you fight? Wouldn't it be more convenient to wipe out those regimental exercises and green battalions here than to fight one county after another? Geng Chen said sarcastically.

"What's going on with the Tartars now? I said you've been fighting for so long, it's time for me to move my hands and feet! Lin Hu said with gusting hands, "Next, you rest and let my people fight a few games!" ”

"Tomorrow, there are 10,000 reinforcements from Hefei, and these people will be handed over to you!" , Geng Chen didn't bother to grab it with him, and directly took out the map, "Now that they are in this position, they are expected to arrive here tomorrow, and you can ambush here!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Geng!" , Lin Hu smiled embarrassedly, "I brought a lot of wine and meat from Zhejiang this time, you can send someone to take some back and treat the brothers!" ”

"Well, you still have some conscience!" , Geng Chen laughed, it was not easy to pull something out of his hand, but this time it was enough for him to go back and blow it for a while.

On the second day, Lin Hu's army of 30,000 annihilated the reinforcements from Hefei in one fell swoop, and since then the mobile forces in Anhui have almost been swept away by the Red Flower Society, leaving only the regimental training scattered all over the country and the army in Anqing City.

At this point, Anqing has no point in staying, and hot air balloons will be released around the Red Flower Society to provide artillery fire guidance. And took advantage of the wind to sprinkle batches of propaganda leaflets to persuade surrender into the city.

The heavy firepower of the Qing army at the head of the city and inside the city was quickly swept away, and the leaflets made the defenders of the city panic; The special forces battalion of the Red Flower Society took the opportunity to join forces with the lurking congregation in the city and opened the gates of Anqing at night. The Red Flower Society army entered the city, and Gao Jin, the governor of Anhui, saw that the situation was irreparable, and in desperation, he bowed to the north and killed himself.

Until dawn, the whole of Anqing fell under the control of the Red Flower Society, and all the resistance of the Qing army had been swept away, and all that remained was to extinguish the fires in the streets and arrest the hooligans who took advantage of the chaos and robbery.

He has been resting in Anqing for three days and arrested officials large and small in Anqing. Leaving the troops to guard the city, and after the successor administrative officials were in place, Lin Hu and Geng Chen went all the way north to attack Tongcheng. Luling and other places. Delu turned east to attack Wuhu, Ma'anshan, Chuzhou and other places.

Now that Anhui's troops were consumed in Anqing, the two barely encountered much frontal resistance along the way, but the two did not rush to march, and scattered their troops every time they hit a city along the way. Go to various villages to clean up the group exercises.

Two months later, the gentry where they had passed were almost empty. Later, before the army of the Red Flower Society attacked, these gentry thanked their families for taking refuge in Henan, Jiangsu and other places with their own soft silver.

After Anhui completely fell into the hands of the Red Flower Society, the two did not rest for long, and began to attack again, Geng Chen led the sailors from the Yangtze River to attack Hubei, and Lin Hu led the army from Jiangxi into Hunan and went straight to Changsha!

It was only at this time that reinforcements from the Qing army came out of the capital. Of course, the imperial court didn't have much strength to mobilize reinforcements now, and those Eight Banners disciples heard that they were going to fight with the Red Flower Society. Immediately began to use all the connections of the family, trying to transfer himself to other armies; Some of them were so ruthless that they even deliberately caused accidents to injure themselves during training, and according to their words, they would rather lose a hand than go south and die under the fire of the Red Flower Society.

Therefore, it is only now that the Qing army has mobilized 30,000 reinforcements to go south, and they are unwilling to accelerate their progress as soon as they are on the road; Qianlong was furious when he received the news of the fall of Anhui, and sent several messengers to urge them to advance, and these people barely sped up.

But as soon as these people arrived in Jiangsu, they were left behind by the governor of Jiangsu, and they were called protecting Caoyun in the name of protecting Caoyun, and they completely sold Hunan and Hubei! The imperial court had nothing to say when it saw this reason.

Hunan and Hubei provinces scolded Jiangsu and constantly sent envoys to Beijing to ask for help, but now Qianlong could not turn into troops, so he could only be appeased with good words.

With the example of Anhui, when the army of the Red Flower Society entered the boundary between the two provinces, the squires from all over the country packed up their finesse, hid the title deeds, and fled to the surrounding areas with their families.

Those soldiers saw that these old men who were calling for wind and rain in their own homes had run away, and their fear of the Red Flower Society was a little more, and the morale of the Green Battalion plummeted! Coupled with the previous reputation of the Red Flower Society for treating captives well, small groups of troops continued to surrender to the Red Flower Society along the way.

Some small counties even went out of the city and surrendered as soon as they saw the sentry of the Red Flower Society, which made Geng Chen and Lin Hu march much faster than expected.

In less than a month, the two of them came to Wuhan and Changsha one after another, surrounded the provincial capitals of these two provinces, and began a large-scale attack.

With hot air balloon guidance coordinates and newly developed large-caliber artillery, the siege of the city is no longer difficult for the Red Flower Society. Although the current cannons still cannot cause fatal damage to the walls, they are enough to kill and injure the defenders of the city.

Coupled with the excavation of tunnels and the placement of explosives in the engineer battalions, the infiltrators of the Red Flower Society in these two cities, Wuhan and Changsha did not last long before falling into the hands of the Red Flower Society, and the governor of Huguang, Aibida, also died in the chaos.

The two then divided their forces into several teams and cleared the remnants of resistance in the two provinces, until they reached the provincial border.

Lin Hu's troops took a month's break after conquering Hunan, and then began to march again into Guangdong, and the Red Flower Society also sent reinforcements from southern Fujian to cooperate with his actions.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society in the two Guangxi provinces are even more rushing to tell each other, contacting all forces everywhere to lead the way for the Red Flower Society, thinking that Lin Tianhong is now mixed into the prefect, and we must have an official to do it now, right? These people thought so.

Those squires who fled from Hunan to Guangdong were dumbfounded, they had just escaped from the fire pit, and before they could catch their breath, the Red Flower Society caught up, which made people unable to live!

The incense masters and hall masters below can surrender, but the high-level leaders of the Guangdong Heaven and Earth Society, such as Tianjing Zen Master, Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu and others, are a little unwilling, can the situation they have worked hard for many years be handed over to others so easily? These people began to think of ways to deal with the attack of the Red Flower Society. (To be continued......)
