The drastic change in the situation in Tianshui was quickly fed back to the Taiping Army's Cheng Dayou Division, which was rapidly advancing from the river to Tianshui, Cheng Dayou never expected that the three main army divisions of the empire under Situ Jun would turn around and flee so quickly, and actually left an empty city for the Northwest Army that arrived first, so that the Taiping Army lost such an opportunity in vain. www.biquge.info The remorseful Cheng Dayou had to re-examine the blood surnames of these so-called royal nobles, and the regular army of the three divisions actually ran away without saying a word when they heard that the rebels in their mouth were coming, and they ran away, and even the officials of the local political axe disappeared together, which is really a miracle in the world.

The entry of the Northwest Army made Cheng Dayou face a difficult choice, and the Northwest Army had two dealings with Cheng Dayou clearly knew that the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army was far from the empire, which claimed to be a regular army, and several large corps of troops could compare, the last Lu Long raid had made Cheng Dayou deeply feel the courage and tenacity of the Northwest Army, although he successfully escaped, but he himself knew that it was just because the other party regarded himself as an ordinary Taiping Army, even then, he also paid a considerable price, not only except for his own children who escaped, almost all his subordinates were abandoned by him in Lu Long and became corpses and prisoners。

The lesson taught to him by the Northwest Army is still vivid in Cheng Dayou's mind, and he always remembers a sentence -- there are people outside the sky. At present, I was going to use Situ Jun's pride to encircle and annihilate Situ Jun's leading troops in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect Situ Jun to run away, but let the evil wolf of the Northwest Army in, how should this battle be carried out?

This made Cheng Dayou fall into extreme distress, the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is undoubted, especially the Liang Chongxin Division, which is known as the first trump card in the Northwest, is even more extraordinary, according to the information from Tianshui City, another division that arrived later from Bonan reinforcements is an infantry division composed of pure Gaoyue soldiers. Gao Yueren's fierceness and fear of death are not only famous, but especially his personal loyalty to Li Wufeng is an open secret, if he wants to take Tianshui City from this other party, Cheng Dayou himself also understands that he must pay a great price, perhaps the only advantage of his side is the disparity in numbers, of course, Cheng Dayou is also full of confidence in the Taiping soldiers who have been trained by himself.

Will this battle be fought or not? If it is opened, will it be possible to take Tianshui with certainty within a few days? Once it cannot be resolved, it is said that the mechanism of the Northwest Rapid Reaction Force, which has begun to take shape, is very likely to be transported by one or even two divisions of the army, and that will make it a passive side, and now although it does not have the strength to take Tianshui in one fell swoop, it still maintains its strategic superiority over Tianshui, and it has many choices.

Cheng Dayou has actually made a decision in his heart, although he likes to make surprise moves, but it is also based on a certain grasp, like this kind of brute attack and hard fighting, Cheng Dayou has always disdained, and completely relies on the bones of soldiers to accumulate military merits, which can only show the incompetence of the general.

After making some arrangements, the Taiping army, which had approached less than fifty miles away from Tianshui City, began to retreat slowly, but only retreated to the border area with Hejian Mansion eighty miles away from Tianshui Mansion City and began to set up camp, and continued to conduct large-scale military exercises, I don't know whether to show off force or intimidate Tianshui's Northwest Army, even Liang Chongxin, who has been paying attention to the changes in the situation, can't understand what the hell this Cheng Dayou is doing.

While almost all the surrounding forces watched the performance of this huge military force with nervous and suspicious eyes, time passed day by day, and when the day dawned and a new day began, the Taiping army was still conducting tedious exercises on the border between the rivers and Tianshui, and even the spies and scouts of all forces were tired of this worthless and aesthetic performance. The Taiping army seems to intend to stay here for a long time, a large number of grain and grass trucks and baggage trucks continue to arrive at Panlong Town, where the Taiping army camps are camped from the direction of the river, large military camps are expanded more and more, the trenches are dug deeper and deeper, the scouts patrolling are more and more strict, strict traffic control and curfew and high transit taxes are extracted, and even the passing single travelers are forced to pay expensive head fees, which makes the passing merchants and travelers have been diverted from Longnan to cross the rugged Surabaya Ridge into Hanzhong, and then from Hanzhong to the south or east into the Central Plains and Jiangnan, although the road is difficult and far away, but compared to the high transit taxes, it is still much more cost-effective。

Liang Chongxin, who had already received reinforcements from the Guards Division, did not let the Guards Division go to Tianshui, but let Song Tianxiong sit in Longdong to respond, after all, the Northwest Army had been in charge of Longdong for a short time, and there were still some unstable factors in Longdong, and the spies and spies planted by the Taiping Sect here were all over the province, and they were not ready to set off a new riot, and those conservative nobles were also hostile to the arrival of the Northwest Army。

What is Cheng Dayou's idea? The hundreds of thousands of troops are so unexplained that they are whirling along the border line, but they are unwilling to take another step forward, for more than half a month, the posture is quite similar, but Liang Chongxin can be sure that Cheng Dayou has definitely given up attacking Tianshui, but he let these hundreds of thousands of elites stay here like this, training is not like training, and the exercises have been carried out several times, and nothing new has been seen, Liang Chongxin has imagined the purpose of the opposition countless times, but has never been able to figure out the true intentions of the other party, and I believe that the other forces around him are also in this confusion。

Without blocking traffic, but leviing such a high transit tax, the business travelers did not take this road at all, and instead went to Hanzhong, if it was to reduce the financial pressure, then the other party should also change course when they saw this situation, but unexpectedly, those patrols seemed to be happy with it, but it became more and more tight. It's weird, they're not here for money. A flash of inspiration seemed to flash in the mind of Liang Chongxin, who was thinking hard.

"You say that a large number of baggage trucks and grain and grass trucks have come from the river during this period of time?" Liang Chong's confidence moved slightly, and he immediately summoned several experienced scouts and spy personnel.

"Yes, my lord, during this period of time, a lot of transport trucks have come over almost every day, bringing in a large amount of grain, grass and other supplies, and it seems that the Taiping army will hold on here for a long time. One of the scouts didn't know why the general was suddenly interested in this information, but he answered honestly.

"What about these vehicles?" looked at a few people under the thick eyebrows, revealing the nervousness in the main general's heart.

"It's not clear. The Taiping army imposed a curfew, and because of the high taxes, no one was willing to take the road from Tianshui to the river, and the curfew was imposed at night, and the control was even stricter, so we could not know about it. One of the scouts replied.

"Doesn't anyone know where these wagons coming from the river have gone?" Liang Chongxin did not give up his efforts.

"My lord, it seems that these carriages have returned to the river overnight, and an informant has reported to me that the Taiping army probably did not have enough transport vehicles, so they had to return the transport vehicles that had been discharged to the river overnight to reload the goods, and he had seen the convoy driving towards the river at night. Another spy hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Oh, then did he see that the carriage was loaded with any goods?" Liang Chong immediately asked.

He didn't mention it, and he probably couldn't see it, because this time the Taiping Army's transport vehicles were all the kind of big trucks with high vans, which were tightly covered so that they couldn't see the inside at all, and they drove directly out of the barracks, and people outside probably couldn't know what they were pulling. ”

"Oh, the high-van trucks, the sheltered tightly, can the transporters returning to the river tell if they are empty or heavy?"

"Back to my lord, I didn't pay attention to this, unless I approached at night, I'm afraid it was difficult to see whether it was an empty car or a heavy car, and during the day there was a heavy car from the river, and now it was a dry season, and the ruts and marks of the vehicles were mixed together, and it was really hard to distinguish. "I didn't expect the main general to ask so carefully, and the spy had to explain it head-on.

"Hmph, it's hard to tell?I'm afraid I didn't notice the ruts of those vehicles at all, right?" Liang Chongxin snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more. It is no wonder that the attention of the spy personnel is on the enemy's actions and exercises, and the vehicle coming from the river is pulling some grain, grass and supplies, and there is nothing surprising, who will pay attention to whether the empty vehicle will pull something?

But just this kind of information is enough, Liang Chongxin has already realized that this Cheng Dayou is not ordinary cunning, not only good at observing the situation and seeing the wind and rudder, but also hiding people's ears and tricks one after another, exercises, digging trenches, strengthening logistics, putting on the appearance of staying there for a long time to fight a protracted war, keeping the outsiders in the dark, but inside is secretly arranging vicious killing moves, if he didn't suddenly think of this transport car, I am afraid that he will still be played around.

Turning his head, he asked the man next to him, who had not spoken, "What about you over there?

The man shook his head, "There is no news, since we retreated to Panlong Town, there has been no news from inside, it is estimated that either confidentiality measures have been taken or something happened to them, in short, there has been no news for so long." ”

"How is the Taiping Army's drill during this time?" Liang Chongxin nodded and continued to ask.

"It was very lively a while ago, but this time it has converged a lot and the scale is much smaller, maybe they also think that this kind of exercise is not interesting. One of the scouts replied.
