Outside Yangzhou City, Qi Shan, who had been tormented by rainy days for several days, finally survived a sunny day, but was hit by a "large-scale" blow from the entire line of the Heavenly Army inside and outside Yangzhou City.
The knife of the Red Fifth Army, which has not yet been fully sharpened, can be called a show of strength in front of Qi Shan, and its momentum is like a rainbow. Explosives and grenades opened the gates of the outer camps, and in one morning, nearly 30% of Qishan's more than 20 company camps were destroyed.
This time, for Qi Shan, who was already sick, it was even worse, and he couldn't stand it. According to Mi Liuxin's consultant's assumption, it is necessary to concentrate troops to take Luzhou first, and then there will be time to take care of the direction of Yangzhou. His mission was to besiege and attract the attention of the Yangzhou Heavenly Army. He knew that the so-called siege was just an illusion, to the west, the Heavenly Army occupied Chuzhou, and behind it, Guazhou was firmly controlled by the Heavenly Army, and the Heavenly Army came and went freely, without worrying about food and clothing. On the other hand, not to mention the lack of food in the army, even dry firewood for burning fires has become a problem. Now, if it continues like this, before Luzhou can be taken down, I am afraid that the Jiangbei camp, which I have worked hard for more than two years, will no longer exist.
Qishan urgently dispatched thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Taizhou and Haizhou to rush to the aid of the battalion, and at the same time sent an extremely sincere letter for help to Shengbao in Shouzhou. After doing this, he invited the Jiangning general Tuo Ming'a.
After a series of violent coughs, Qi Shan sighed, "Brother, this official's body is getting worse day by day, cough cough...... This...... For the time being, the military affairs of this large battalion are entrusted to the elder brother, who is young and strong, and has excellent resourcefulness, and only the elder brother can reverse this crisis at present. As he spoke, he raised his eyelids and looked at Shang Fang's sword hanging on the wall next to him, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. Alas, the situation is chaotic, this Shang Fang sword is actually worthless, just in this place where Su Wan's fart is bigger, the minister of Qin Cha put two, himself, and Shengbao, if the Mi Liuxin consultant who said a sentence of 10,000 sentences is also counted as one, then it will be a lot. It is estimated that this foreigner just likes guns and cannons, and he must not be interested in this sword. Or, one could be hung on the wall.
Tomin also glanced at the Shang Fang sword, if it was before, he was still very fond of this sword, but now, he felt that it was no longer attractive. When Shengbao first entered northern Anhui, it was good to say that the Jiangbei camp could at least mobilize the forces of the entire northern Jiangsu. But as soon as the foreign adults arrived, the power of the Jiangbei camp was limited to the territory of Yangzhou, Taizhou, Haizhou and Tongzhou.
However, he has coveted the entire command of the Jiangbei battalion for a long time. To be honest, he looked down on the handsome man in front of him. The handsome man is old, and he was forced by the emperor two years ago, so he can't bear the slightest bit of wind and grass, and it's time to rest.
"Dashuai, I am willing to share my worries for Dashuai and the Queen Mother." Tomin leaned over and hugged Qi Shan's fist, and his face did not show the slightest joy.
Qi Shan snorted, feeling a little awkward. Why is there someone who is willing to share the worries of the Queen Mother? Alas, people, which mountain is really willing to climb which one! The queen mother just took advantage of the emperor's young age to temporarily hang the curtain, the world is still the emperor, there is no need for such a loyal law. However, he didn't bother to deal with people like Tomina, he knew that he might not live for a few days. Speaking of which, he is really grateful to this Empress Dowager Cixi. At the beginning, his so-called traitorous behavior in Guangzhou, but he was scolded and cursed by the government and the opposition from top to bottom, and he calmed down and thought about it, he was also a little restless, for fear that he would have no face to face the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan in the future. Hehe, now compared with this Empress Dowager Cixi, the little things he did were just a small thing, and those who liked to scold themselves probably forgot about themselves. It seems that if you really talk about saving the country with curves, I Qishan can be regarded as the originator of the mountain.
"Alas, for the time being, it's all up to the elder brother, the official will go to Taizhou to recuperate for a few days, and by the way, help the battalion take care of the food. Ahem, the official here can't stay for a while, and if he stays any longer, this person will have to grow hair. Qi Shan smiled reluctantly, and motioned for the attendant to take off the Shang Fang sword from the wall and hand it to Tomin.
"The handsome man will be raised with confidence, and I hope that the handsome will recover soon." Tomina took the sword in both hands and got up to take his leave.
Qi Shan looked at Tomina who went out, and seemed to feel a little relaxed.
Without Qishan's Jiangbei camp, it seems to have added a lot of vitality. In the face of the tide of the Heavenly Army's offensive, he deployed a counterattack with a clear vision, and with the assistance of Lei Yicheng, the squire of the Criminal Department, and Chen Jinchuan, the Governor of the Criminal Department, after a day of hard fighting, he finally "beat" the Heavenly Army back to its original place.
"Report the victory, report the victory to Lord Shengbao and the consultant, Jiangbei camp is solid." Standing on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, Tomina was quite heroic. is different from Qi Shan, he doesn't want to let those loyal and righteous forces to save ** get involved here, those people are masters, and he can't afford to provoke them.
Shouzhou, that is, Gu Shouchun's Shengbao and Mi Liuxin, didn't intend to take Qishan's plea for help seriously at all. They have already begun to move their troops to the front line of Chuzhou, Luzhou, and Lu'an. Whether it was Shengbao or Mi Liuxin, they didn't believe that when hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, the heavenly army in the direction of Yangzhou could make any bigger moves.
It took them a lot of brains to make up their minds for this kind of judgment. At first, they also thought that the Jiangbei camp was the key target of the next Heavenly Army, and they had made corresponding preparations for this, after all, their King An was in Yangzhou. But after careful consideration, the combined strength of all the heavenly armies in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang is only barely comparable to the camp in the north of the Yangtze River, where can you eat it in one bite.
After careful weighing, you should still start from Luzhou. Since Yangzhou is guarded by their living immortals, if they attack there directly, I am afraid that it will not be cost-effective, and when the overall situation in northern Anhui has been decided, Yangzhou will become an isolated prominent point, and it will be much easier to take it again. Another point is that even if they really want to fight the Jiangbei camp, it will not take a few days for the army located in the direction of Chuzhou to rush to the aid there.
Sure enough, things seemed to be developing according to Shengbao and Mi Liuxin's expectations, and Tomin'a, who took over Qishan's command of the Jiangbei camp, sent good news, repelled Changmao's crazy attack, and killed more than 10,000 heads.
After receiving this good news, Shengbao was very happy. The reason why he was happy was not only because of the victory of the Jiangbei camp, but because of the accuracy of Advisor Mi Liuxin's grasp of the overall situation. Or the consultant is powerful, and he can see through at a glance that King An appeared in Yangzhou just to attract everyone's attention and reduce the pressure on Luzhou. If it weren't for the accuracy of the consultant's overall strategy, then these soldiers and horses under his command would have to be the same as last time, carrying out useless rushing, and in the end they would be empty-handed.
Mi Liuxin was puzzled by the battle report of Tomin'a, the war only lasted for one day, and the enemy attacked and defended, and the 30,000 Qing troops who fought only by cold weapons were able to kill more than 10,000 heads of the rebels.
Listening to Mr. Advisor's question, Katsuho smiled. He patiently told His Excellency Adviser that the actual number of enemies killed before the battle always contradicted the battle report; first, many officers and men had limited education, so there would naturally be errors in the number of counts, and second, in order to exaggerate the great military exploits, the phenomenon of false reports also occurred from time to time. In the end, however, he told His Excellency Adviser with great certainty that there would never be a phenomenon of killing good people and risking merit in the camp in Jiangbei.
Looking at Shengbao, who said it so surely, Mi Liuxin didn't seem to believe it.
"I'm telling the truth." Katsuho said seriously. Of course, he will not tell His Excellency Advisor, it is rare to see any ordinary people around the camp in Jiangbei.
"I hope so!" Mi Liuxin smiled, "You Chinese seem to like to talk big, oh, in ordinary people's terms, it's called bragging." Hehe, our army has now completed the pre-war deployment, and Chuzhou is not besieged for the time being. I don't want your Zhou Degui to be bragging with us. ”
"He? No, it won't. Sheng Bao shook his head repeatedly, "His situation over there is going very well, of course, give him a certain amount of time, the army will press the realm, will prompt them to do their best to complete this qiē." ”
"Time is of the essence and we can't afford to delay the entire deployment for too long. Starting tonight, we will first clear several defensive strongholds on the periphery of Luzhou. In order to show their sincerity, of course, but also to verify their authenticity, there can be no change in the direction of Chuzhou. Mi Liuxin picked up a "Great China" cigarette, struck a match, and tilted his head to look at Shengbao.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Katsuho nodded, casually opened a letter that the guard had just sent in, and only after a cursory glance, his face changed suddenly......
