Chapter 105: Young People

It's hard to say what kind of feeling robbery is, but getting something for nothing is definitely an addictive feeling, and there are always robbers in the movie who say they will stop after doing the last time, but where will there be an end to people's desires. Crime is an addictive thing that never stops as long as you don't get caught. Guo Xing'a has not been caught at present, and he has grabbed enough food and salary for a year, and he began to think about the needs of future development, so Guo Xing'a unloaded the stolen money and goods and went into battle lightly again.

Compared with the Qing army, the Taiping army can be said to attach great importance to the role of firearms in war, but after all, it has not reached the level of European and American armies, and there are differences between different armies. The Taiping Army of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations belonged to the forward troops, and the combat intensity was relatively large, and it was relatively close to the coast, so the degree of firearms and equipment was relatively high. The Taiping Army in Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei is far away from the coast, and the fighting intensity is low in the core area of the Taiping Army's occupied area, so most of the firearms are concentrated in the hands of a small number of main forces, and the local garrison troops are mainly cold weapons, which is undoubtedly huge good news for Guoxinga, who specializes in robbing weak persimmons. The hinterland of the Taiping Army is a group of weak chickens with average combat effectiveness, and they are all relatively rich, how can they be worthy of themselves if they don't grab a handful.

After simply settling down in the base camp, Guo Xing'a set off again, transformed into the Monkey King, and made a big havoc in the hinterland of Anhui and Jiangxi of the Taiping Army. In 20 days, taking advantage of the defenselessness of the Taiping army, they successively conquered 16 places in Fanchang, Nanling, Qingyang counties and Dazhendian, and killed one Taiping army commander, two division commanders, and more than 10,000 heads. However, when Guo Xing'a counted the money and had cramps in his hands, an urgent report was also placed on the desk of Li Xiucheng, the loyal king of the Taiping Army, Chen Yucheng, the king of the British army, and Li Shixian, the commander of the left army.

Li Xiucheng, who was having an awkward quarrel with Chen Yucheng in Pukou, saw the urgent report from Wuhu and was almost killed by vomiting blood. Since the Wing King Shi Dakai led his troops, the Kingdom of Heaven seems to have no windows and paper houses, and there are leaks everywhere, forcing him to make up for it everywhere and be exhausted. It was easy for Sanhe Town to win a big victory, and there were two rebels under his command, Li Zhaoshou and Xue Zhiyuan, and the entire northern Anhui was cut off because of these two rebellions. After fighting for more than half a year, he finally defeated Zhou Tianpei and suspended the crisis in Tianjing, and Chen Yucheng, the British king who was in charge of the military and politics, had an awkward quarrel with himself again.

Most of this mess was caused by the rebellion of his subordinates, and it was normal for Chen Yucheng to complain twice, but His Royal Highness the King of England, who had a glimpse of the prosperity of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, didn't want to leave, which was fatal. King Chen Yucheng is the pillar of the country, but he is the pillar of Anqing and the gateway of western Anhui, he stayed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Hunan army went down the river who would resist. After spending countless lips and promising countless benefits, this posterior boy has agreed to return to western Anhui, but he didn't expect that there would be chaos in southern Anhui and northern Jiangxi. The Qing Demon has been approaching step by step in Tianjing, northern Anhui, and western Anhui, and there can really be no more problems in southern Anhui and northern Jiangxi. Fortunately, northern Anhui has won the game, and there are a large number of elites in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to attack the lifeline of the Qing demon's rear, as long as Chen Yucheng returns to the town of western Anhui, the problem will be solved. At this time, there was a problem in northern Jiangxi and southern Anhui, and what would be good if Chen Yucheng went to southern Anhui again under the pretext. Li Shixian, the chief general who wants to die in southern Anhui, is still his cousin, and it is difficult to reassure Chen Yucheng, and Chen Yucheng is now not at ease with his subordinates. And Li Xiucheng, who has already made a plan for solving the siege of Tianjing, can't let something happen to southern Anhui, which is the key to a big game of chess in the future.

Li Xiucheng asked a young man to go straight to Wuhu with 3,000 elites from the waterway and starry night overnight, he believed that this young man could help Li Shixian solve the problem of southern Anhui, and this young man had not let him down. After seeing the young man leave, Li Xiucheng poured himself two pots of tea, and then went straight to Chen Yucheng's Zhongjun tent, he had too much to say to this equally young man.

When the young man with Li Xiucheng's ardent hope rushed to the mansion of Marshal Li Shixian in Wuhu, Li Shixian was taking Huang Chengzhong, Fan Ruzeng, Liu Guanfang and other cadres to worry about the map. After a brief prologue, everyone spread out the map and began to study the situation of the Qing army.

"General Li, is the Qing demon who came this time a Hunan thief, a Chu thief, a Huai thief or the green battalion?" Li Xiucheng has replaced many young people, but Li Xiucheng can't figure out who ate leopard gall.

"Neither." Li Shixian shook his head.

"Who is that?" Young people can't think of any strong armies.

"According to the defeated soldiers who came back, this Qing Demon seems to be the Eight Banners Army." Huang Chengzhong was a little embarrassed, after all, the Taiping Army had looked down on the Eight Banners Army for many years, and it was a bit embarrassing to be defeated by the Eight Banners.

"The Eight Banners?" Young people are not convinced either.

"It should be the elite of the Beijing camp of the Eight Banners Army! According to the defeated soldiers, they all used muskets and artillery, and there were a lot of war horses. Fan Ruzeng pursed his lips.

"How many of them are there?" The young man didn't want to be entangled in the origin of the enemy, and he knew everything about catching this group of people in the future, so he didn't have to delay any longer.

"Each share is about fifteen hundred, but it's not clear how many shares there are!" Li Shixian is having a headache about this.

"Little brother, come and see, the Qing demon first suddenly appeared here in "Taibai Township", after they lured the Dangtu defenders out of the city, they ambushed the Dangtu defenders, and then attacked the county seat of Dangtu. Li Shixian attaches great importance to the opinions of young people, and several of them have been arguing in the room for a few days, and it may be enlightening to hear the opinions of outsiders.

Ten days later, there were also Qing demons near Fanchang, and they successively captured two towns in Eqiao and Eshan, trying to lure the Fanchang defenders out of the city. The Fanchang defenders did not fall for the plan, and this Qing demon disappeared. But two days later, there was a Qing demon night attack on Qingyang County, as a result, more than 2,000 defenders under the Qingyang guard Liao Liang were all killed, and the Qing demon looted the Qingyang Holy Treasury, and then lost its trace. A day later, a Qing demon attacked Nanling, Nanling guard Chang Zhexi relied on his strong troops, led 5,000 troops to fight, but the battle was completely destroyed, Qing Demon took advantage of the situation to loot Nanling, and then his whereabouts were unknown again. Seven days later, Fanchang also ......" Li Shixian has been losing troops recently.

"General Li, how many shares do you think there are in the Qing Demon?" The young man interrupted Li Shixian's painful memories with some impoliteness.

"No less than three shares!" Li Shixian stroked his beard and estimated.

"How so?" The young man's tone was quite polite.

"If you include the town store, most of the time, the Qing Demon will appear once every few days, and the distance is dozens or hundreds of miles away, and the number of three shares is relatively close." Liu Guanfang, who has not spoken, analyzed.

"Is there any other basis?" The young man obviously did not agree with the statement of the three Qing troops.

"Military discipline! The Qing demons seen in several towns that have been poisoned by the Qing demons are very different, some of the Qing demons have not committed any crimes, and some have committed adultery and plunder. "Liu Guanfang is really not all guesswork.

"For example, Taibai Town, which was the first to encounter the enemy, was almost slaughtered by the Qing Demons, and when the county seat of Dangtu was plundered, except for the holy treasury, there was no violation by the people. I think it may be that several Qing demons are working together, one to lure the Dangtu defenders out of the city, and the other to take the opportunity to seize the city. Huang Chengzhong also gave examples.

"Generals, His Royal Highness King Chung and the last general have different opinions!" Young people still have to take care of the feelings of the old-timers, and pull Li Xiucheng as a shield.

"What's your opinion?" A few people who are foaming their mouths don't care if it's Li Xiucheng's opinion, as long as they can solve the trouble, whoever comes up with it.

"His Royal Highness King Zhong and the last general, they all feel that there is only one pure demon, and the total number is only about 1,500 people!" Lee so-sung was only skeptical, but the young man was very confident.

"How so?" Li Shixian and others were in an uproar.

"Whether the Qing Demon has good military discipline in the county seat or in a big town, but in a small town, he kills wantonly. and whether it appears everywhere, and after looting the county seat, it will disappear for a while. "The young man is full of words.

"Except for Nanling, this is indeed the case in other places!" Li Shixian tapped the table with his fingers, and the movement of the Qing demon was indeed the same as what the young man said.

"Nanling is on the way back of the Qing Demon." The young man broke the mystery in one sentence, Nanling was just beaten by someone and beat a rabbit.

"Are you saying that the Qing Demon transported back the looted property and passed through Nanling, and then stopped by ......?" Li Shixian also understood.

"How could they be so fast?" Although Liu Guanfang believed most of them, he still did not give up.

"They have a large number of war horses, and as long as there are bridges or boats in the rivers and lakes they pass through, they will naturally come and go like the wind." The young man had seen the twisted army of Chen Yucheng's subordinates from the Central Plains, and the speed of the war horse was indeed extraordinary.

"What about military discipline?" Liu Guanfang has basically believed it, only the last doubt.

"There are not many demons in the Qing Demon, and they dare to act recklessly in the town, but there are many people in the county, and once they mess up, they are likely to be unable to suppress the situation, so they are greatly restrained. Moreover, the Qing demons have sinister intentions, the town is sparsely populated, and their notoriety does not spread far, while the county town has a large population, but they are all talking about their benefits. "The head of young people's analysis is Tao.

"These bunch of crumbs!" Li Shixian and others all scolded the Qing army for being shameless.

The young man analyzed and understood the situation for everyone, and the next step was how to deal with this small Qing army. Li Xiucheng demanded that southern Anhui must quickly restore tranquility, and not let the Qing army pay too much attention to southern Anhui, but everyone discussed for a long time, but they were at a loss. The Qing army attaches great importance to concealment, and it is difficult to find traces unless the armies of all walks of life are fully mobilized, but the armies of all walks of life are fully moving, how can the remnants of the Qing army of the Ning generation not be nervous. Moreover, this small group of Qing troops has excellent mobility ability, most of them are infantry Taiping troops, even if they find the Qing army, it is difficult to catch up with them.

"There will be an immature opinion at the end, a few of you can refer to it." The young man was more anxious than Li Shixian, and Li Xiucheng couldn't wait.

"I want to hear about it!" Li Shixian and others have a lot of respect for young people.

"In addition to the round-up of the army, only an ambush can completely annihilate this Qing demon." The young man said.

"That's true, but this Qing demon doesn't attack the town, doesn't take the important money, and wanders around as if it is aimless, how can our army set up an ambush?" Huang Chengzhong said distressedly.

"The last general thinks that these Qing demons are not aimless, and what they do seems to be avoiding the truth and making up for nothing, but there are also times when they storm Nanling County, which has 5,000 defenders. Do the generals think that this Qing demon is more like looting everywhere, and the so-called aimlessness is just seeking wealth. "Young man in a word.

"Indeed, the places where the Qing Demon passes are all directed at the Holy Treasury. The killing in the town may also be because there is no holy treasury in the town, so the people are robbed. Li Shixian drew inferences from one another.

"So as long as we give them a big bait, they will definitely take the bait, and we can wipe out this Qing demon in one fell swoop." The young man pointed to Dangtu on the map.
