Standing on the embankment where the silver carp's mouth is about to rush, Bi Xiao's face is full of excitement and fanaticism, rows and rows of soldiers have begun to build fortifications in this famous fortress to prevent the enemy from sabotage, after all, the enemy still has a powerful water armament, and the water power of his own side is simply not enough to resist the opponent's attack, the only way is to build a powerful fortress fortification on this waterway first, and then install giant catapults and powerful ballistas to block this waterway to prevent the enemy from entering the Dongting Lake area from the water at will, perhaps only in this way can the coast of the Dongting Lake area, which has become the hinterland of his side, be prevented from the sudden attack of the enemy's naval army。 Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking to the south, the vast lake surface is endless, faintly visible a few touches of green in the depths of the lake, occasionally two fishing boat sails haunt it, that is the very famous North Dongting Islands in Dongting Lake, they and the South Dongting Islands together constitute the most beautiful green mountains and green waters in Dongting Lake, and these islands are the best green tea famous in the mainland. It is said that only the tea mountains on these islands that are bred by the rain and mist of Dongting Lake are the authentic production areas of Dongting Baihao, and most of the Baihao that is popular on the mainland is produced by tea plantations along the shores of Dongting Lake.

As the leading general of the three corps, Bi Xiao has reason to be proud, almost without any losses, all the way from the border directly to the core area of Baling, and at this time Baling Mansion City is probably already empty, although it is located on the side of the rivers and lakes and waterways, but the defense system of Baling City is not solid, one faces the water, three faces the land, making this more like a commercial city, developed water transportation industry and grain planting industry, making this one of the most famous rice markets in the empire, presumably their 12th Corps has stepped into Baling City, and is waiting for themselves to review the style of this Baling Mansion City。

However, Bi Xiao was not carried away by the achievements of the north, as the son of Bi Xili Khan, he knew the heavy responsibility he shouldered and the image he needed to establish in the eyes of his colleagues, any irrational move may have some other effects in the eyes of his subordinates and colleagues, he could not help but be strict with himself. Although it was not clear what the battle situation was in Wenning Mansion in the east, Bi Xiao knew that as his boss, General Yaning, was his father's most important general, and with Minister of State Lord Lei following him, the army of four corps was enough to destroy any Emperor [***] team in the territory who dared to challenge, and he believed that the other party would be able to solve the battle in the shortest possible time.

"General, the 12th Corps has come to report that they have entered Baling City and are now taking over the defense of Baling, and the Tang River army in Baling City has all been evacuated, and the 12th Corps has not made contact with them. In addition, so far, the 12th Corps has not found the enemy's naval fleet, and no enemy fleet has been found in the rivers and lakes. A horse galloped over, stood in front of Bi Xiao beautifully, dismounted a standard military salute, and reported respectfully.

"Oh? still haven't found the Tang River people's naval fleet?" Bi Xiao frowned slightly, Fang Cai's fanatical joy slowly calmed down, and a cautious look appeared on his face, "Have you sent a search team to search along the waterway?"

"General Hui, two groups of search teams have been sent to search north along the waterway, but so far no anomalies have been found. The officer of Maqi Khan, who came to report, did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly replied.

Lowered his head and made a circle in place, and then looked at the vast lake to the south, Bi Xiao had a headache, when he first set off, General Yaning had specially reminded himself that he must find a way to find the whereabouts of the enemy's naval fleet, although the Dongting Lake fleet is only an inland river fleet, and the scale is not large, but it plays a very important and effective role in the five lakes area where the river network is dense and there are many lakes, and its mobile surname is far more effective than his own cavalry troops. Especially after their own side occupies Dongting Lake, this coastal area has become an area where the enemy can wantonly harass, and the enemy can come ashore at any place on the shore of the lake at any time to launch an attack on his own side, and this threat will greatly prevent his own rule in this land.

"Well, you go back immediately, pass on my order, your 12th Corps will send more scouts to step up the search of rivers, lakes and waterways, and let people from the intelligence department contact our people, so that they can also mobilize to find the whereabouts of the enemy's naval fleet for us, and report to me immediately as soon as there is news!" After thinking about it for a while, Bi Xiao finally made a decision, "Baling City strengthens precautions, strictly prohibits anyone who violates military discipline, and those who violate the order will be beheaded, tell your corps commander, I will be there immediately." ”

When the officers flew back from their horses, Bi Xiao immediately ordered all units to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time ordered a large number of search teams to return to search along the shores of Dongting Lake to prevent the enemy's naval fleet from hiding in the lake and possibly attacking his side, and at the same time reported the situation of his side to the commander of the Eastern Front, Ya Ning.

Receiving an urgent report from Tianshui, Liang Chong still couldn't help but be shocked in confidence, in fact, he had already received information that the Taiping army had begun to make large-scale military adjustments in Heshuo, and he had been judging whether the enemy wanted to march west along the road that traversed the Heshuo area, or whether he would march south to Wuhu, but from the current posture, it seems that the purpose of the Taiping army was to capture Tianshui, and with the situation of Tianshui's defenders, it was quite difficult to hold Tianshui. Sure enough, as soon as the Taiping army made a move, this Situ Jun's envoy had already arrived.

I am afraid that it is time to make a decision on his own, and what is the time to make progress into Tianshui? This question bothered Liang Chongxin, and according to his own intentions, he probably hoped to enter Tianshui, but now he only had the First Division in his hands, and the garrison in Longdong had just been formed, and it was still somewhat difficult to maintain law and order in his own prefecture, so it was not realistic to pin his hopes on them. Xiong Daoyuan's division was able to rush to Longdong in the first time, but it was only two divisions, and he had to leave the necessary troops to guard Longdong, which was really a bit thin. On the Xikang side, Shenei has already sent two wings to garrison Surabaya Ridge and Jianmen Pass respectively, and only three wings have been left in Xikang's main mansion, so will it be a little difficult for him to draw out people again? On Lu Long's side, there are only Mi Feng's assistants to the garrison division, but fortunately, the second division of the Southern Gerlok Regiment in Merrington in the north, the Kang Jianguo Division, and the Zhan Botao Division stationed in the empire have been connected, and they can reinforce Lu Long at any time, otherwise Lu Long's security will still be quite problematic, not to mention the idea of fighting Lu Long's garrison.

Liang Chongxin has never been so sad, he usually prides himself on strategizing and solving any problem, but the current dilemma makes him unable to make up his mind. The urgent letter for help has been sent, but it is necessary to wait for Qingyang to reply, I am afraid that it will be too late in time, Situ Jun has made it clear that the three divisions under his command will completely withdraw from Tianshui within three days, if the Northwest Army does not take over the defense immediately, all the consequences will be responsible for themselves, this is really horizontal enough, Liang Chongxin smiled bitterly, there are still such things in the world, only care about his own life, but let others break the queen for him, but there is such a situation in front of him, if he does not make a decision immediately, this Tianshui may really have the surname You。

On March 26, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Liang Chongxin resolutely led all 23,000 people of the first division out of Longdong, entered Tianshui, and officially set foot in the land of Heshuo, one hundred and eighty miles of Tianshui in Longdong, the first division rushed to Tianshui City in only one day and one night, and at this time, the three divisions of the Fifth Army that originally promised Liang Chongxin three days have completely evacuated Tianshui, and the local structure of Tianshui Mansion is also scattered。

The collective escape of Situ Jun, who followed the local political axe officials to the south, made the situation out of control, the whole Tianshui has fallen into a state of complete political axe, the flow of people and vehicles fleeing, and the mob who took advantage of the fire to rob have made a mess of the entire Tianshui, and even the garrison troops have collectively participated in the looting of Tianshui City, which has almost become a common practice, whenever there is a crisis in a city, the first chaos must be the local political axe, and the chaos must be pushed to the top of the local garrison force of the city.

When Liang Chongxin's vanguard troops quickly advanced towards Tianshui, Liang Chongxin noticed the abnormality of the situation, almost blocking the flow of people and vehicles on the entire road from Longdong to Tianshui, which caught Liang Chongxin off guard, and seriously hindered the marching speed of the First Division, and the people who only cared about fleeing for their lives could not listen to any explanation at all, and Liang Chongxin had to order the troops to leave the main road and travel from the road day and night.

After taking over Tianshui City, Liang Chongxin did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief, just controlling the chaotic situation in the city took him half a day, at this time the bloody suppression was the only effective way to solve the problem, when every city gate and the intersection of the street was full of mobs and the heads of those garrison soldiers who participated in the looting, the whole city gradually calmed down. Without hesitation, he put all the remaining garrison troops in prison, and Liang Chongxin only had time to inspect the city's defense facilities at this time. Situ Jun is still benevolent and righteous, after controlling Tianshui Mansion City, he still put a lot of effort into the city defense facilities, the strong and sturdy city walls have long been repaired, and the three giant catapults and a small number of fixed crossbow frames on the head of each city do not know if there is a time left for the Northwest Army to work for him or it is too late to withdraw, and they are all intact on the city tower. A large number of rolling wood, rocks and ash bottles, and even the iron pot used to heat the oil were neatly arranged, which made Liang Chongxin feel a little relieved.

However, this was not enough to make Liang Chongxin let go of his hanging heart, what really relieved Liang Chongxin was the Xiong Daoyuan Division, which was only half a day slower than the First Division, and when he saw the black-pressed Northwest soldiers and Xiong Daoyuan's simple face appear under the city tower, Liang Chongxin showed his first smile in a few days.
