The hinterland of Guanzhong Road, the plain where the Qinchuan River is located for 800 miles.

Near Chang'an City, the majestic site of Xijing has loomed into the skyline.

After accumulating enough decisive forces, I no longer need to care about the enemy's coming in several ways and I will kill them all the way, and forcing the enemy to concentrate his main forces for a decisive battle by attacking the enemy's save, is the next strategy and basic tactic I am implementing.

Under the generation gap of sufficient equipment and tactics, the whole process of the war has also become relatively monotonous and boring.

The five armies assembled from Hedong and Hebei, three main battle armies and two garrison armies, plus my direct Ya army and internal guard troops, several special weapons units and additional expanded and strengthened cavalry, were laid out and spread out according to the large array of five flowers in the front and back, left and right, and the Ya army was enough to fill most of the wilderness in my sight.

There are constantly enemies who look heroic or fierce or strong, and they continue to attack the array and order that the Huai army is advancing, launching waves of fierce attacks like sea tides; Then they were blocked and truncated by dense firepower projection, and in the end, most of them were not able to break through the array, or only achieved limited results in the periphery, and were already scattered, defeated, defeated and eliminated in the close-quarters struggle and fire suppression;

It is like the turbulent waves of the Qiantang River that crush the moving embankment wall in the tide, and it is like a retrospective swimming fish community that falls down and falls between layers of rivers and waterfalls.

After all, in this era, except for the drug-addicted madmen, the morale and fighting spirit of most armies still have a limit; There is no opportunity for the courage and faith of the ** army of later generations to endure injuries and deaths, to be armed with lofty ideals and great pursuits, and to constantly explode miracles in adversity and despair.

Therefore, in this deliberately maintained offensive and defensive momentum, as well as the illusion and illusion that the enemy can change the situation of the battle with a single force, no matter how many enemies come, they have not been able to shake the overall advance of the Huai army;

On the contrary, it is easy to be brought into the frequency and rhythm of the "three-plate axe" that the Huai army is good at bombardment, volleying, and riding and rushing, and the frequency and rhythm that are woven in turn under the reciprocating staggering; Then the constant bloodletting and consumption in this apparently unequal attrition.

Because, relying on the strict and orderly five-flower array itself and the car bases and wire railings that followed up, the fatigue and casualties caused by the long-term battle of the soldiers in the front line can always be replaced, treated, and contained by the rear;

However, once the rushing enemy forces failed to break through or were intercepted and entangled, they should no longer easily suppress the front from the dense fire and artillery bombardment, as well as the roundabout volley of the cavalry from the hollow, and continue to retreat calmly and orderly.

Therefore, with the tacit understanding of many arms in full swing, the main force of the Huai Army in our place is already the top combat force and military presence in this era that is not afraid of superior siege.

With the support of sufficient ammunition and baggage, it is like a tireless war machine, and like countless large and small meat grinders, constantly devouring and crushing the attacking soldiers from all directions.

It's just that as we gradually advance towards Chang'an City, the resistance and obstacles encountered have also increased little by little; Until a unique Dasu like stars holding the moon began to appear on the battlefield, it was like letting those Western Army banners that were vying to break down suddenly find the backbone of the re-morale and gather uplifting.

And I was also in the large frame-type close-up mirror that was constantly turning, watching the new banners of the strange Western Army constantly appearing on the edge of the battlefield; The pressure on the front fed back by the peripheral armies has also increased dramatically, and the assault and fierce battles of a single arm have also turned into more sophisticated and complicated compound attacks and multi-line countermeasures in which infantry, horsemanship, bows and crossbows are mixed and coordinated.

Then, after a while, my base began to lose contact with the rear strongholds and the sortie camps. It is said that a large number of cavalry of the Western Army suddenly killed along Weishui, which quickly cut off all communication and communication during this period.

And it wasn't until this moment that I felt a certain level of challenge and a sense of accomplishment in the battle battle.

Is this the Western Army's "ambush on all sides" siege strategy relying on the old site of Chang'an, or do you think that my troops have entered the end of some kind of strong crossbow after such a long battle? Dare to concentrate the main force for a decisive battle on this open terrain.

It is a pity that if the other side still uses the standards of traditional cold-weapon units to demand and treat the new-style firearms division that has been supported by primary industrialization, it is doomed to be a serious disappointment and a serious lesson of surprise.

"Start putting in the platoon guns, and then let all the artillery battalions replace them with flowering handles"

I ordered lightly.

"Lift the restrictions on the use of ammunition by the battalions and regiments."

"End the standby state of the grenadiers of the divisions."

"The hunters began to search for targets freely."

"Gradually reduce the range of sorties of the various ranger and auxiliary cavalry brigades."

"Let the hussars and chasseurs on standby begin to mount and pierce their armor."

"Prepare to alternate attacks."

Cavalry is used to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, create a variety of fighters and situations in their favor, and when necessary, they can also play the role of a battlefield hammer to break the stalemate, or a surprise quick knife to break the formation.

。。。。。。。。。。

Canton, Shangcheng,

Countless arrays of sergeants carrying long and short firearms, as well as teams pushing and pulling other light and heavy firearms, are passing through the central axis of the city on the street, in which all kinds of troops exude a fierce and solemn aura soaring into the sky.

And in this triennial routine school parade of the imperial front of the army in Guangfu, in the absence of the Son of Heaven and did not show up for a long time, the great minister in a crown dress was also holding his thirteen-year-old fifth son Liang Junyan tightly; Even if it is a certain signal and tendency to release in public, it also represents that the open and secret struggle for the throne of the prince in these years has come to an end for the time being.

As the contemporary lord of the shogunate, he also had more than a dozen children under his knees, and he was barely regarded as a master among the ancestors of the past dynasties. It's just that until he ended his status as a prisoner of the Northern Expedition, and after Jiangning established himself as the head of the Great Xiangguo and the shogunate, he did not have any heirs who could reach adulthood;

Because, now his eldest son and second son have died young, and the third son's maternal background is really humble and he was sent away early, and inherited the family business of a certain family line; Later, in the Canton Rebellion, he lost his fourth and seventh sons;

Therefore, the remaining strong contenders for the position of the son also relied on the strength of their respective mothers and concentrated among the remaining young sons, and they made some quarrels and right and wrong; But this time, no one thought that after acquiescing and sitting and watching for a long time, he would choose the most vulnerable mother clan and even the five veins and eight leaves, but could only be regarded as a large native foreign vassal in the Luzon Prefecture District of Tokaido, and the fifth son who sacrificed his daughter as a side concubine in the early years.

Of course, the choice of this son is not a signal to the attitude of wooing and appeasing those foreign island vassals; Although this will undoubtedly disappoint many speculative nobles in the Cantonese Mansion; But now that they have suffered so much in terms of political power and resources, and have to lie dormant under the authority of the shogunate, it is enough for the prime minister to decide his successor autocraticly.

This is also a certain dissatisfaction and deep knock on the increasingly fierce competition for favor and invasion of the harem of his shogunate.

And at a slightly distance, among the civil and military officials who were watching the ceremony, according to the intersection of their respective departments and small groups, they were also whispering to exchange news and channels that were only available at the upper level.

With the largest cancer and collapse in the southeast, the great cloud thieves of several rivers fell into civil strife and had no time to care; Led by the three armies of the capital under the command of the Jiangning Prefecture's Left-behind Division, they have successively recovered many places in Jinghu that have fallen to the enemy, and have suppressed riots and popular uprisings in neighboring Jiangxi by the way.

It seems that the situation in this ridge is also getting better day by day, and some people can't help but regenerate all kinds of thoughts and thoughts. However, at the same time, there is also such discordant news and existence, true and false circulating between them.

"Did you hear that?"

"The western thieves who went south sent someone to negotiate secretly?"

"What do these rats want to do?"

"I hope to be able to claim the vassal to the national dynasty and establish it according to Jingnan."

"Thief dares, this is a pipe dream,"

"It's not a daydream."

"Actually, it's not unfounded."

"Yuechengling (Xiangguijian) and Dupangling (Xiangguijian) are in emergency one after another."

"It is said that Quanzhou, Daozhou, Hengzhou, Chenzhou, and the Yonggang army have all fallen to the enemy."

"The gates of Qianzhong Road and Nanping Metropolitan Protectorate have been forced to open."

"There are already people who have written to say that they can delay with them for a while."

"Waiting for the day when the armies of the Kinai will succeed. Yunyun"

But then a noble man who suddenly appeared, on behalf of the Son of Heaven who was introspecting himself in the Taimiao, and the edict of guilt and abdication issued once again shocked the government and the world.
