The native soldiers of all ethnic groups in Miao Zhuang are in the main tent of the Chinese army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although this big tent is called the main tent of the Chinese army, it is actually quite simple, except that the place is more open, it is not much better than ordinary tents, and there are even a few corners that are still a little damaged.

Under the cover of a few oil lamps, more than 20 leaders sat there with a sad brow, and even though there were wine bowls in front of them, none of them moved.

The outcome of today's siege battle was so unexpected that although they had expected to suffer casualties, they would never have imagined that the casualties would be so heavy - two thousand three hundred native soldiers were broken under the city of Guilin, and a considerable number of native soldiers were wounded and could not continue to fight for a short time.

You must know that in the past two days, their casualties were only a thousand people, and today, I thought that they could take the city in one go, but the result was that after paying nearly three times the price, the city of Guilin still stood there, which is an indescribable blow to them and to the morale of the whole army.

Many people have begun to think about it and retreat. This is also an inevitable thing, their team is completely composed of dozens of Miao villages and tribes, which are all their own clansmen. Although the disputes between the tribes in the southwest are not as big as those in the grasslands, these tribes are after all protecting the tribe and bringing a stable life to other elderly and weak women and children, and once these men are killed in battle, it will be difficult for their families to continue to survive in this harsh southwest mountainous area. Even if there is no encroachment and annexation by other tribes, the natural environment alone is enough to swallow up these old and weak people who have lost their backers.

It is precisely because of this thought that everyone in the tent is silent, and they are all making their own calculations. It wasn't until another dull thud came in the distance outside the tent that their attention came back to them.

It was the movement of the defenders at the head of Guilin throwing the corpses of the dead soldiers into the city, there had been a noise just now, and now it was just a matter of continuing the previous work. But hearing this voice, it still moved many people, those were all the warriors of their clan, but now they were like broken sacks from the city, and fell to pieces, how can this not make people's hearts hurt?

"That...... What the hell are we going to do next? Master Li Zhai, you should always have an idea, right? Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and set his eyes on a dark, thin but extremely fierce man sitting in front of him.

This time, all the rebels were able to assemble, and this Li Zhai lord played no less important role in it than Xu Chongchuan. It was precisely because of his presence everywhere, coupled with his own strength as a guarantee, that many tribes joined the team and launched an attack on Guilin.

And the reason why this master of Li Zhai is willing to do so much is also very simple, because he is Li Muda's cousin. As a big toast who has been operating in Guilin for hundreds of years, the Li family's power is naturally not only a little bit in the city. In fact, more of their forces were scattered among the tribes outside the city, among which the village master named Li Yuehu had a full 20,000 troops under his command, and the available troops reached nearly 7,000.

When Li Yuehu knew about the changes in the city and that there were people from the White Lotus Sect who contacted him, he agreed to raise troops without saying a word, and took the initiative to contact other nearby departments, so that there were nearly 50,000 troops gathered under the city of Guilin today. As the owner of a village with the greatest reputation and the largest number of troops, he Li Yuehu naturally became the general existence of the commander of this rebel army.

And when someone threw the question at Li Yuehu, many people looked at him with complicated eyes, and a few even had some dissatisfaction and hostility. Because today's decision to storm Guilin City came from his insistence, if he hadn't advocated throwing 5,000 men and horses into attacking the city wall, and at the same time continued to beat the drum and advance after the team suffered setbacks, then everyone's casualties would not have been so many.

Although it is really necessary to talk about it, the damage of the men and horses under him Li Yuehu will only be more than that of other races, but everyone has selfish intentions, and it is still easy for everyone to blame the person who took the idea.

Li Yuehu's already dark face became even darker after hearing this reproachful question. After a while, he snorted: "In war, how can there be immortals." Today, we have only encountered some setbacks, but I still believe that with those thousands of officers and soldiers, we will not be able to stop us at all. As long as we ......"

"Master Li Zhai, our casualties today have exceeded 3,000, and what about the defenders in the city? I don't think it's more than three hundred. If we deduce it in this way, even if we put tens of thousands of people into it, I am afraid that we may not be able to fight the defenders in the city. At that time, some people raised objections in a strange way.

"That's right, this is the strong labor of each of our cottages and tribes. Once they can't go back, the women and babies in the family will have no way to live, and after this fight, not only thousands, but tens of thousands, will die. Immediately, someone else chimed in.

Li Yuehu heard a beating in his temples, and it took a long time to suppress the anger in his heart, and Sen Ran asked, "Are you blaming me?" So what do we do next, depending on what you mean? Retired soldiers? Everyone dispersed like this, and each went back to the village to continue to live his life, as if nothing had happened? ”

"......" Everyone was silent for a while, but then someone whispered there: "This is not impossible, it is better than putting the lives of the clansmen under this Guilin city." ”

"You ......" Li Yuehu raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and his eyes stabbed the man like electricity: "What did you say?" ”

The man first shrank back, but then gritted his teeth again and looked at the other party: "I said that it is better to withdraw the army than to fold everyone here." There are not many people in our Baijiazhai, and two hundred strong people died in a battle today, you can afford to pay for it, I don't want to go on like this. ”

"You...... Don't forget, your big toast is also in the city, and it was also taken by the government, don't you Baijiazhai want to save him? Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Yuehu asked angrily.

The owner of the village was stunned at first, but soon, he said: "Even so, we can't take the lives of all the clansmen to the toast for burial!" ”

"It's really against you!" Hearing him say this, Li Yuehu finally couldn't control his anger anymore, and bounced off the ground in a flash, and was about to draw the saber on his waist with his backhand.

The owner of the village did not show weakness, and immediately stood up, and wanted to put it against him. And the other village owners or something, but they all looked numb, obviously they couldn't make up their minds in their hearts.

"Master Li Zhai don't want to hurt the harmony, everyone has something to say, otherwise it will only cheapen the officials and soldiers in the city, and it will only make the toasts suffer......" Fortunately, there is also a special identity Xu Chongchuan here, seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly dodged to block Li Yuehu before the two of them moved, and persuaded him again and again: "Everyone has been affected by today's setback, and I hope to be relieved first." Things are not going to be as you think......" he said, and he turned his hand to everyone else.

was stopped and persuaded by him like this, and the two who were fighting like cocks finally pressed down for the time being, but they still glared at each other viciously. While the others showed a wry smile on their faces, they didn't say anything after a while: "Young Master Xu, what you said is good, your White Lotus Sect has not put much effort into making us enemies of the government." But now, we really started an army, but we don't see what you White Lotus Sect has done, so don't pretend to be a good person here......"

Seeing that everyone hated themselves, Xu Chongchuan unconsciously showed a wry smile on his face: "Everyone, my Holy Sect is indeed unable to help immediately because of insufficient preparation this time. But rest assured, in the next battle, I will definitely do something that will satisfy everyone. ”

"The next battle? Do you think it's possible for us to continue? ”

"Are you really going to just give up?" The smile on Xu Chongchuan's face gradually faded, and was replaced by a solemn one: "Have you ever thought about it, now that you are completely a rebel, and striking the army now will only give the government a chance to break you all, do you really plan to do this?" ”

This sentence immediately hit the key point of everyone, just now they were just in a hurry to give birth to the idea of disbanding the army, but think about it carefully, this kind of rebellion is not a business, how can you say that you can stop it?

Seeing that everyone had understood the stakes, Xu Chongchuan said: "Actually, this Guilin City is not as difficult to attack as you think, but everyone is in a hurry to raise troops and is in a hurry, so they will suffer big losses here one after another." But with a little thought, it's only a matter of time before we get the city breached. Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is the government in the city that is really urgent. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Everyone, in fact, I've been thinking about how we should capture this Guilin city just now. It is obviously impossible to storm like these days, so you have to use some strategy, if you can force the officials and soldiers in the city to be anxious, then it is the best. ”

"How is this possible?" Someone shook his head disappreciatively.

"It's certainly possible, and it's highly probable. Don't forget, this is Guangxi, the world of our Miao Zhuang and other ethnic groups, as long as the news of our army spreads, there will be tribal responses dissatisfied with the imperial court. In other state capitals, there is no such vigilance as Guilin, as long as there is the first one to do it, soon the whole territory of Guangxi will be completely chaotic. And at this time, can those Guangxi highest-ranking officials in Guilin still sit idly by? Xu Chongchuan quickly gave his opinion......
