The next day, the sky was already white, and the entire Kuizhou section of the river returned to its former calm, but the fierceness of the fierce battle last night could still be seen from the floating surface of the river with countless corpses and blood.

After last night's battle, the left army suffered heavy losses in Bailuji, among them, Jin Shenghuan's troops had suffered most of the casualties, and even the personal soldiers under Zuo Liangyu's direct command had also lost thousands. Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but be furious when he saw this: "This group of damned thieves, the old man wants to kill them all!" ”

But at this time, in addition to the tens of thousands of left troops who regathered and gathered together, there was no Han army soldier to be found on the river, and even the body of a Han army soldier could not be found, which made Zuo Liangyu very confused, in his opinion, in the battle last night, it should be this group of Han family thieves who had the upper hand, how could they evacuate cleanly early this morning.

"Tell the commander, the thieves have withdrawn!" At this time, a scout came running to pray.

"Withdrawn?" Zuo Liangyu looked at Jin Shenghuan, and then ordered: "Pass the order, be careful, the thieves are very cunning and will not retreat for no reason!" ”

In Zuo Liangyu's view, this thief army is unlikely to retreat easily, it must be secretly planning some trap, and he did not dare to order the pursuit, so he ordered Jin Shenghuan to continue to collect the dry road army, and at the same time ordered Zhang Yingyuan's waterway army not to act rashly, and must be consistent with the dry road army.

But at this moment, a herald under Zhang Yingyuan came over in a small boat, and said loudly: "Marshal, General Zhang has taken Kuimen, and the little one has been sent to inform!" ”

"Took the gate?" Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but be overjoyed, in the past few days, his left army of more than 140,000 troops failed to capture Kuimen several times in both flood and drought attacks, and by the way, he also lost nearly 5,000 officers and soldiers, but now he was only broken by Zhang Yingyuan's waterway army, which made him a little incredible, and hurriedly asked: "What about the casualties?" How many enemies are destroyed? ”

"Not a single soldier has been spent, and not a single enemy has been annihilated, and all the thieves have withdrawn," replied the herald.

"Dashuai, it seems that the thief army has really withdrawn, and now even Kuimen has been captured by us, no matter how cunning they are, it will not help, is it possible that thousands of thieves can stir up the river and drown my army of more than 100,000 people?" Jin Shenghuan also walked over at this time and said.

Zuo Liangyu thought for a while, and said: "The purpose of our coming this time is to capture the thief leader Yang Ming, don't care about these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, pass on the order, and the army will go straight to Kuizhou Capital City!" ”

The morning light was faint, and there was still an autumn moon hanging in the sky, but Yang Ming had already gotten up early at this time, and came to Hejialing, which was not far from the county seat, accompanied by Lan Guanwei, chief of staff of the Han Army and general of the first battalion, and Chen Gui, general of the military police battalion.

"Brother Guanwei, you can appropriately disclose the whereabouts of me and the important military and political officials of the Han Army to the Left Army through various means, and try to attract the Left Army to go straight to Dongxiang County, and Chen Da Harrier will also give an order later, our march speed does not have to be too fast, stay for a few more days after arriving in Kaixian, and strive to wait for the Left Army to take Yunyang before leaving."

Yang Ming is now making it clear that he wants to use himself as a bait to attract the Left Army, and his specific idea is, of course, to refer to the period of the Liberation War, ** used himself as a bait to attract Hu Zongnan's 200,000 troops to circulate the northern Shaanxi Plateau, and created countless fighters for the First Field Army.

But Chen Gui, who was in charge of Yang Ming's security and security, was very opposed to this, and hurriedly said: "No, son, once the left army takes Yunyang County, we can attack Kaixian County overnight, and then we are afraid that it will be too hasty to retreat, and it is also possible that the advance cavalry of the left army will intercept the retreat." ”

"What's the matter, we are more familiar with the terrain and landforms in this area than them, and we also have the support of the local people, so it is not difficult to escape under the noses of the Left Army", Yang Ming said and turned to Lan Guanwei and asked, "How is the Left Army progressing?" ”

"The sixth battalion of the naval division has been evacuated last night, the left army has taken Kuimen this morning after losing nearly 20,000 men, the left army Zhang Yingyuan is now attacking Wushan along the river, and Jin Shenghuan has taken Majiabao, Qutangwei, Sunjiacheng and other important towns, and has now formed an encirclement posture against the capital city of Kuizhou," Lan Guanwei replied.

After Yang Ming nodded, he asked again, "How is the progress of the various battalions of the Han Army?" ”

"The 1st and 5th Battalions have moved to Onyx Mountain in Taiping County, the 4th and 9th Battalions have repelled the defending enemy of Pingjiang County, Shunqing Prefecture, and have moved to the territory of Chungju County, Chungju Prefecture, and the 6th Battalion has withdrawn to Causeway Gorge in Chungju County, which has forced the Sichuan Army in Chungju Prefecture to retreat; In addition, the 2nd and 7th Battalions led by Miss Du had secretly marched to Dezhou Mansion yesterday, and the 3rd and 8th Battalions had already organized three lines of defense in the vicinity of Kuizhou Prefecture, Yunyang, and Kaixian, and once the city was lost, they could also disperse and hide in the nearby Wushan and Liulangshan areas, where we had already stockpiled necessary items such as food and ammunition," Lan Guanwei replied.

Yang Ming didn't say anything after hearing this, according to the plan, from now on, he, the commander who acted as a decoy, would only take away the 5,000 men and horses of the military police battalion and the hundreds of thousands of people who had moved to the area of Dongxiang County to resist the siege of more than 100,000 troops of the Left Army, while most of the main force of the Han Army would move to the periphery, and Lan Guanwei would be in charge of commanding it.

Before leaving Yunyang County, Yang Ming had already handed over the military defense of the Kuizhou Prefecture area to Lan Guanwei, and let Lan Guanwei take full charge of the defensive battles of the Kuizhou Prefecture counties. However, the soldiers of the Han Army who participated in the defensive battle of Kuizhou Mansion only had two battalions of troops, but more than 10,000 people, but they had to defend more than ten prefectures and counties in Kuizhou, and their defensive strength had to be admitted to be very weak.

Because of this, even the strategically important capital city of Kuizhou only has two targets with a total of more than 2,000 people. Wang Peng, who was in charge of defense, as the commander of the eighth battalion of the Han Army, was the direct commander of more than 2,000 people, and he would face the siege of more than 100,000 troops of the left army here, and Yang Ming and Lan Guanwei did not give him any specific instructions, but just let him hold on as long as he could.

Although the left army lost more than 10,000 people, but the morale did not decrease by half a point, more than 100,000 troops pressed a large area like Zeyun to the city of Kuizhou, like a giant snake about to swallow the city of Kuizhou in an instant, but Zuo Liangyu was not in a hurry to swallow the city of Kuizhou, he ordered someone to inform the supervisor Chen Yan that he had defeated the thief army and captured the city of Kuimen and had entered the siege of the city of Kuizhou, while ordering people to go to the surrounding states and counties to collect money and grain.

Knowing that today's Kuizhou is rich under the governance of the thief leader Yang Ming, the various departments of the left army have long been unable to hold back the mood of making a windfall, and rushed into the villages and houses outside the city in groups, and for a time the entire Kuizhou boundary is like a devil entering the village, but what makes the left army disappointed is that before they come, the villages and towns of Kuizhou have already been "ten rooms and nine empty", except for a few gentry and people who are reluctant to move away from the land and are not willing to move away, many of the left army has not looted anything at all.

This made Zuo Liangyu very angry, arson and plundering was his main means of maintaining the army, and now he couldn't rob anything, which was equivalent to cutting off the money and food of his army. Moreover, he led more than 100,000 elite soldiers into Kuizhou alone this time, firstly, because his beloved son Zuo Mengeng was captured by the thief army, and secondly, he had already learned that Kuizhou's wealth had far surpassed that of Jingzhou, in order to obtain the wealth of Kuizhou before the arrival of Chen Hongfan, Fang Guoan and other ministries.

However, the left army did not stop the looting because of Yang Ming's strong wall and clear the wilderness, since the looting failed, then dig three feet into the ground, dig three feet into the ground and take revenge, burn the house and burn the house, for a time the entire Kuizhou territory "wolf smoke everywhere", "thousands of villages are few".

"Now the left army is lighting fires everywhere outside the city, Wushan, Daning, Dachang three counties were broken by the left army, but also burned into a rubble field by the left army, I have withdrawn the soldiers in these places back, if it is not for Gongzi's prediction, I am afraid that the people in this area will become the soul of the left army under the butcher's knife", Lan Guanwei, chief of the general staff of the Han army, as soon as Lan Guanwei, the chief of staff of the Han army, came, Wang Peng was busy with the latest war progress and gave Lan Guanwei.

Lan Guanwei took a long breath and said: "The left army is now arrogant and arrogant, wantonly destroying our homeland, although Gongzi does not have to fight with the left army because of one place and one city, but it is still necessary to teach them a lesson, let them know that our Han army is not a bad breed that only knows how to dodge!" ”

"What Brother Guan Wei said is that the left army is now the time to be proud and domineering, and its Jin Shenghuan department is even more light on the enemy, and they are too lazy to send a scout within fifty miles, and a hundred or so left troops dare to attack a market town, and even Zhang Yingyuan's navy has forgotten the principle of relying on the march of the army, and also learned from Jin Shenghuan's iron cavalry to go straight to Wanxian County and directly deviate from Zuo Liangyu's army to the north to attack Qianxi County", Wang Peng walked to the front of the map and smashed a punch on the dot marked with Qianxi.

"Qianxi?" Lan Guanwei understood that Wang Peng wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Yingyuan's lone army to go deep into Qianxi to defeat Zhang Yingyuan's department in one fell swoop, so he couldn't help but think: "Zhang Yingyuan's department is the naval division of the left army, once it comes to the dry land, it can be said that it is the weakest unit of the left army, and now he arrogantly leaves the main force of the left army and goes deep into Qianxi when he pretends to be weak with my Han army, it is the best time for us to defeat him, okay, just do as you say!" ”

Wang Peng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Lan Guanwei agreed with his opinion, although he thought of this plan as a battalion-level officer, because the task he accepted was to launch a defensive operation against the left army in the area of Kuizhou Fucheng, if he abandoned the Kuizhou Fucheng and directly led the two-standard soldiers to attack Qianxi for thousands of miles, it could be said that it was contrary to the order issued by Yang Ming, and he had no right to change the instructions issued by Yang Ming.

But Lan Guanwei is different, now he is the supreme commander of the Kuizhou Prefecture area, and he is also Yang Ming's most trusted general, Yang Ming more or less also hopes that he can be independent, if he makes changes to Yang Ming's strategy, it will not be considered a violation of military orders. Lan Guanwei was not a stubborn person, and when he saw this, he did not hesitate to order Wang Peng to lead the soldiers of the two standards to immediately rush to the Qianxi area to launch an attack on Zhang Yingyuan's department. #######眼睛已经好转, I'm ashamed to break the update for a few days, and I have collected a lot, but for newcomers like me, it doesn't seem to be a big data loss, although the stinging feeling is strong, but it doesn't break the mind of becoming a eunuch, thank you friends who haven't given up this book.
