Chapter Twenty-Six: Outside the City of Guangliang
At this moment, hearing that the imperial army was coming to quell the rebellion, these Tianping Sect disciples actually wanted to gather heavy troops, seize Guangliang City, and then defend the enemy outside the southwest......
Guangliang City belongs to the southeast governor's office, and the relationship between the two governors has always been good.
Although Guangliang City is an important place, there are not too many troops stationed in Guangliang City at this time.
That is, after the rebellion in the southwest, Nanzhen sent a regiment to strengthen the defenses of this place and prevent the Tianping Sect from escaping into the southeast.
At this time, this Guangliang City was only stationed in two regiments at most, with a total strength of five or six thousand people.
Moreover, it is not the old new army that has been reorganized according to the military reform of Luoba, but the original local town army.
The combat effectiveness of these armies can only be said to be better than nothing to maintain law and order.
Fortunately, when the southwest was in turmoil, there were thousands of new troops in the southwest who retreated into Guangliang City at that time, and now they are the main force in this battle.
Now, all the troops in Guangliang City add up to 123,000.
However, looking at the blackly suppressed siege of the Tianping Sect army outside Guangliang City, especially the most elite army of the Tianping Sect, it was actually equipped with steam guns and other things, which made the commanders of the two local town armies even more frightened.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a few officers of the Southwest New Army beside them, I am afraid that these two regiment commanders would have already trembled their legs by now, and they would even slip away if they couldn't do it well!
"Battalion Commander Qiu, there are too many enemies outside the city, should we transfer our troops back and rely on the city wall for defense?"
The commander of a local town army cautiously said to Qiu Fuyuan.
Although he was the regiment commander, Qiu Fuyuan was just a battalion commander. But when he talked to Qiu Fuyuan, he seemed very polite and cautious.
Not to mention the two, one is the local town army and the other is the new army. The local town army is basically the role of maintaining local law and order, and its status cannot be compared with that of the new army.
Not to mention, although this Qiu Fuyuan is only a battalion commander now, he now has more soldiers and horses under his command than the two regiment commanders combined.
Without him, this Qiu Fuyuan is a ruthless character, and the southwest is in chaos. There was a new army in the southwest that was infiltrated by the Tianping Sect and seized command.
As a result, there was a sudden rebellion, and the other new troops were defenseless, and almost all of them were disarmed without firing a shot.
Only this Qiu Fuyuan saw the opportunity, and without saying a word, he actually connected several armies to attack at the same time and killed Yunzhou.
Along the way, they encountered the interception and pursuit of the Tianping Sect, and they were all killed and dispersed by them. Now even in Guangliang City, there are still six or seven thousand men and horses under his command.
The total number of the new army in the southwest was more than 40,000, of which 20,000 went to Changde with Feng Guangning. The remaining Southwest New Army was actually brought out by Qiu Fuyuan with almost more than one-third of its men.
It can be seen that this person's prestige among the Southwest New Army is very high on weekdays.
At this moment, Qiu Guangning was standing on a high slope, staring at the battlefield, deaf to the words of the regiment commander.
The more than 7,000 soldiers under his command were divided into three battle formations, giving full play to their firepower superiority, and the bullets rained down, harvesting the lives of the Tianping Sect like cutting rice.
It was as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and it was the fire of humiliation!
And the officers and soldiers he commanded were similar.
They were the Southwest New Army, the only army in Daqi that had defeated the Roba powers.
On weekdays, they have always privately claimed to be the strongest army in Daqi. It is impossible to see the troops in Beizhen who fled when they saw the enemy.
But at the beginning, Yunzhou was in turmoil, and the disaster caused Xiao Wall. His comrades suddenly rebelled, and most of the new troops were disarmed without even firing a shot.
Only they led a few men and horses to seize the opportunity to escape from Yunzhou and came to Guangliang City.
For these proud young and strong officers, it was a great humiliation to be defeated and escape from Yunzhou without firing.
At this time, if there is a chance, they must find it back in the Tianping Sect.
Only blood, the blood of the enemy, or their own, can wash away the humiliation from them!
"Battalion Commander Qiu, it's too dangerous outside, let's retreat to the city to defend, Guangliang City is so important. It is the garrison of the counterinsurgency army, and we must not take it and lose it!"
The rebels also had steam weapons, although they couldn't hit accurately, but stray bullets flew indiscriminately on the battlefield, and bullets had just been fired from a few meters away from them.
The legs of the two town commanders were weak, for fear that a bullet that did not have long eyes would hit them.
At this moment, the tone of talking to Qiu Fuyuan was almost pleading!
"No, we can't retreat now, we can't hurt the enemy during the day, and this Guangliang City doesn't need to be defended!"
Qiu Fuyuan clenched his jaw, and when he looked over from the side at this moment, his muscles seemed like iron.
"Our Guangliang City has city walls and an army. If you can block the Tianping Army during the day, why can't you stop it at night?"
One of the group leaders was puzzled, he didn't think that Qiu Fuyuan would lie to him about this.
Qiu Fuyuan sneered and said, "Don't forget, what did the Tianping Sect start with?"
You all know that the army outside is a rabble? How can the people of the Tianping Sect not know? Since they dare to use the rabble to attack our Guangliang City, are they tired of being sent to death in vain?
Don't you forget, how did so many cities in the southwestern states fall to the Taiping Sect?"
The two regimental commanders were eager to immediately hide behind the fortified city walls to find some sense of security.
However, Qiu Fuyuan's words also had to make them calm down and think.
What the Tianping Sect is best at is not the army, but all kinds of evil arts.
They have always used evil magic to break through the city gods that want to attack the city, open the ghost prison, and disturb the city.
The two worlds of yin and yang are connected, the yin world is turbulent, and the ruling order of the yang world will also be chaotic. At this time, the Tianping Sect was able to easily seize the city.
And now, if they want to attack Guangliang City, it is impossible not to use this move!
Thinking of this, a town legion commander realized that his color had changed, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, the City God Ghost Prison is in danger. ”
But I heard him say urgently: "Camp Commander Qiu, it's going to be dark soon, and the Netherworld City God will definitely be attacked, what should we do?"
Qiu Fuyuan sighed heavily, there were many masters of the Tianping Sect, and dozens of City God Ghost Prisons were opened, and hundreds of thousands of powerful ghost armies were gathered under his command.
How could he deal with it?
The only way to do this is to take advantage of the daylight to kill and injure as many Tianping Sectists as possible.
Waiting for the follow-up court counterinsurgency army to come, there will naturally be masters to suppress those powerful ghosts at that time.
Otherwise, he is also helpless!
But at this time, a faint voice came, and said indifferently: "You only care about the battle in the yang world, there are me and Zanghaizi in the yin world!"
