Chapter Ninety-Nine: A New Miracle

In addition to the 10,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the county seats, Luoyang himself gathered troops and turned from Mianyang to the southeast.

Luo Yang himself is not very clear about the overall strategy for the future, but there is one point, it is most appropriate to avoid the real and attack the virtual, and it is the most cost-effective to win the hearts of the people and the field, so he will solve the immediate problems first.

"Sichuan is the fundamental foundation of our Han Heavenly Kingdom, and it has not gone through too many wars, the economy is rich, the population is dense, and there are enough material resources and manpower to support a long-term war, so we must firmly grasp it!"

For this decision, the generals of the Han army have nothing to oppose, they are even more vague about the future, anyway, following the era of Yiwang Shi Dakai, they were intercepted and compressed by the Qing army, running around all day long, and the whole strategy of escaping for their lives, now, to expand the territory, to have more money and food, who doesn't like it?

Zhang Suimou strongly supported Luo Yang, although he was known as the "Zhiduoxing" of the Shi Dakai era, the first Zaifu, but the fact that Luo Yang was desperate to turn the tide has made him thoroughly admire, he himself is a figure who believes in ghost and god divination, and he has long been assimilated by others and deified Luo Yang.

The Luoyang army, with Zeng Shihe's army of 30,000 people as the core, stuck to the vicinity of Chengdu City, with Lai Yuxin, Huang Zaizhong, and Wei Pu as the three routes, respectively, pointed the spearhead of the attack to the west, northwest, and south, and left the east to Luoyang himself.

It's not that Luoyang is too big, but he has a formed artillery unit, a foreign gun unit, which is the most ferocious firepower and the best equipped unit, and he wants to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army.

After the Luoyang army broke through Guangyuan and Bazhong, it went south by multiple routes and attacked Chongqing.

The attack on Chongqing made the generals have some differences, and Zhang Suimou wondered: "King Rui, that small place, is it interesting to fight or not?" ”

It is also a reason that he hopes to ease the offensive, digest the newly occupied areas as soon as possible, recruit troops, clear out the remnants of the Qing army, and implement a set of measures of the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom in the new territory to consolidate the victories in northern and northeastern Sichuan.

Luo Yang naturally refused, "What a big place Chongqing is, an important future metropolis, and a gathering place for the remnants of the Sichuan army, if we don't pull out this nail, we don't want to live in peace!" ”

Everyone nodded, Zhang Suimou also nodded in worry, Luo Yang's words, who can put forward a rebuttal?

Of course, Luo Yang's thinking is forward-looking, he knows the development of modern Chongqing, but unfortunately, at that time, it was only a town under the rule of the Qing army, and a general army was set up.

More than 1,000 infantry, from Bazhong to the south, although it is called a brigade, in fact, is just a regiment, such a force, if before, I am afraid that it would have been wiped out by the Qing army along the way, even if there is no regular army of the Qing army, it is as many as a cow's hair of the local landlord regiment training, can easily drown in the landlord war in the vast (ocean) sea, the famous general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the great power Zongshi Zhenji is like this, leading a thousand troops, in the Hongshui River was ambushed and captured and sacrificed.

The times are different, the half brigade of infantry led by Zhao Yu, carrying five flying thunder cannons, three foreign cannons, and more than 100 captured new foreign guns of the Qing army, went all the way south, full of sails with the wind, they passed through Pyeongchang and swept Dazhou, almost as if they were in a no-man's land.

Luo Bingzhang's Feizhang biography has different influences and little practical significance, and the Manchu areas where it is located have all carried out serious resistance, and the Manchu rule in Sichuan is still relatively consolidated.

The Qing army in Pyeongchang had more than 100 people, but more than 1,000 people in the regiment trained and held the city, coerced 2,000 young men inside and outside the city, and were in an absolute advantage.

The Qing army in Dazhou had more than 1,000 people, plus more than 2,000 regimental training, and thousands of coerced people.

However, these two cities did not stop the southward pace of the Han Heavenly Army, Brigade Commander Zhao Yu, a small person who grew up quickly by Luo Yang's side, skillfully commanded the battle, first set up with foreign artillery, so that the Qing artillery could not raise their heads, and then, the flying thunder cannon shot at close range, and in an instant, the Qing army's frontal city defense troops were beaten to cry and cry and flee in embarrassment.

Originally, they were just passing by, Luo Yang confessed, they were just a division of containment, a useless partial division, disturbing the enemy's sight, but I didn't expect that the young man, his blood was strong, he couldn't help the tiger, and attacked the city directly.

This unit, which should appear in time to the east of the city of Chongqing, is an interspersed mission, and the principle is to avoid attritional battles as much as possible, and to drill through the gaps in the emptiness of the enemy's defensive forces, and speed is victory. This is also the application of Luoyang's modern strategic thinking.

Ideally, this small force might attract the attention of the enemy forces in Chongqing, or it would not be possible to crush the enemy with a sudden attack.

Luoyang's main force of 10,000 people, is from the Fujiang River, homeopathic to come, Yue Santai, Shehong, Suining, Tongnan, Tongliang and other places, into the northwest of Chongqing City, this is the main direction of attack, there are many roads, such as Nandu, Xichong and other places, forced to Nanchong, the final goal is also Chongqing, if several roads attack together, not to mention the momentum, you can sweep away the Qing army along the way.

Brigadier Zhao Yu's actions far exceeded his tactical mission.

In Pyeongchang City, he stayed for a short time for two quarters of an hour, that is, half an hour, sent soldiers to publicize the idea of the Han Heavenly Kingdom to the people, and then, tied up 300 Qing prisoners of war into a string and took them away, and at the same time, he also mobilized more than 100 people to form the first Han Heavenly Kingdom government army in Pyeongchang City, and sent two small squad leaders of his own troops to control the county seat as a guide.

In the battle of Dazhou, the Zhao brigade drove 300 Qing prisoners of war as the vanguard, so despicable that the Qing artillery in Dazhou City could not play a role, and after the victory broke the city, the Qing army that was frightened by the flying thunder cannon surrendered one after another, and was arrested by the Zhao brigade More than 800 people, becoming new prisoners of war and cannon fodder on the battlefield.

No one gave him such an order, and many of the rules and regulations of the early Han Heavenly Kingdom were equal to zero, or directly copied from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the little Brigadier Zhao exerted his talent.

Along the way, there were many people who joined the army of the Han Dynasty, and Brigade Commander Zhao had a very powerful mouth, good at bragging, and even better at, as a result, the consuls of the Han Heavenly Kingdom were blown into the true dragon emperors, and their powerful cannons were blown into tribute after the surrender of the 130 Western countries!

The people saw the real kung fu, and were afraid of myths, and preferred the harmony of the officers and soldiers of the Han Heavenly Kingdom, as well as beautiful promises, and when the Zhao brigade turned around to Wanzhou City in the southeast, the army had grown to 10,000 people.

The Qing army in Wanzhou City was taken aback, and the prefect galloped up to the city without even having time to put on his shoes, and before the city gate could be closed, he was rushed by a group of Qing cavalry, and then, without saying a word, he entered the city.

When the Qing army and officials who got the news were rejoicing that there were reinforcements from unknown troops, these strange cavalrymen riding a few war horses and most donkeys suddenly showed a strange military flag and shouted: "The Han Dynasty ** is here, the Qing Demon of Hecheng surrenders immediately, and those who do not surrender will be killed!" ”
