Chapter 478: Breaking the Encirclement (1)
After two months of sweeping away the big households in Guilin City, Yang Meng started a business with a daily income of one million yuan. It is easy to count cash and silver. Those antique treasures are items that are priceless. Although some things are only worth a few taels of silver, in less than a few decades, these things will be worth hundreds of taels. In another hundred decades, each of these things may exceed tens of millions. Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. Now Yang Meng has countless gold and silver in his hands, so it is time to make some antiques.
Although Yang Meng can’t use these things, it’s hard to guarantee that their descendants can’t use them. Now I’ll take some of them, so I’ll take them out for my family’s wealth!
Sai Shanga is a bannerman and is also a stubborn master. He really knows some antiques, but the fake ones are just understanding the group of people, veterans play with them, and these are antiques.
A few boxes of high-quality imitations made Sai Shang Ah absolutely. With a family foundation and nothing to do, Sai Shang A started to take Xiang Rong and Ulantai and vent his anger. In the early stage, Sai Shang A was greatly aroused by the two of them, and now his future is hopeless. Sai Shang A decided to play hard again before leaving.
Going to the front line to supervise the division was Sai Shanga's choice. Now Yong'an has been surrounded to death. The Taiping Army wants to break the siege. Yang San fool said that it would not be a day or two. Taking this opportunity, Sai Shanga not only had to have fun and enjoy Xiang Rong and Ulantai, but also gave the Taiping Army some hardships.
Xiang Wu and the others destroyed his future, but it was still on the Taiping Army. Even Xiang Wu and the others came according to their own methods and might not be able to win. Without the Taiping Army, he was still a military aircraft!
When I arrived at the front line, I looked at the terrain of Yong'an. This was also the first time since the commander of the army, Sai Shanga visited the Yong'an front line.
Yong'an is a mountain city. Only the north and south are roads. There are 100,000 mountains to the west, and there are dangerous passes with high mountains and steep mountains to the east. There are mountains on both sides of Yong'an. After looking at the terrain, Sai Shanga began to admire Yang San's fool again. He set up a cannon to bombard Yong'an, and it was a pity that the guy could come up with it.
"Is this your encirclement?"
With a slight slut in his heart, Sai Shanga spoke very rudely. When he heard Sai Shanga questioning his military strategy, Xiang Rong immediately shook his face.
"What? Do the imperial envoy think it's inappropriate?"
"Hmph! What's wrong with thinking it's wrong? No wonder Xiang Rong can only be an admiral. I think this admiral is considered a superstar!"
With the plan of Yang San fools, Sai Shanga was not an ordinary bullish move. The battles on the front line were really unbearable. This was Xiang Rong's reverse scale. When Sai Shanga was sarcastic, Xiang Rong's face also turned blue and white.
"I wonder what good advice the imperial envoy has?"
Seeing that Xiang Rong was almost done, the army's food and grass were still in Sai Shanga's hands. Ulantai had no choice but to come out to smooth things over.
"In the mountains of the east and west, set up guns to bombard Yong'an! You can't think of such a simple idea. Lao Yu, a hero on the battlefield, is all bragging."
Xiang Rong is the most hateful guy. If it weren't for Xiang Rong, the situation of Sai Shanga might be better. Without Xiang Rong's example, he and Ulantai would not go further and further. Sai Shanga also hated Xiang Rong to the core. If he could anger this old guy to death, it would be a good show.
Xiang Rong, Lao Yu, fought all his experience. Since he came into contact with the Taiping Army, he has an instinctive fear of the Taiping Army. These mobs are not easy to mess with, and they are bombarded by the city, and they are just offending the Taiping Army to death. He really doesn't want to do this. Once he does it, he can only fight the Taiping Army to the death.
Yang Meng couldn't guess Xiang Rong's idea. It was said that Xiang Rong was born in the army and should not be so lazy in war. Xiang Rong was still entrusted with important tasks by Du Fuzi at 65. Without any real ability, Xiang Rong could not get into Du Fuzi's eyes.
Yang Meng summed up Xiang Rong's slackness on the front line and could only explain it by leaving a way out. Xiang Rong was no longer optimistic about the Qing court, and he did not want to offend the Taiping Army to death. Deep in Xiang Rong's heart, it was very likely that he was optimistic about the Taiping Army.
Yang Meng gave Sai Shang's idea to set up a bombardment. Yang Meng wanted to try Xiang Rong. If this old boy joined the Taiping Army, it would have a great impact on his plan. If this is true, assassination of Xiang Rong would be a necessary choice.
Yang Meng's method really forced Xiang Rong to the corner. After hearing what Sai Shanga said, Xiang Rong moved his lips several times, but he still couldn't get what he said in his stomach.
"What if it causes a counterattack?"
After thinking about it, Xiang Rong only said something unconfident.
"Counterattack? How many people are there in Yong'an City? How many soldiers are there in the Taiping Army? How many soldiers are there in war? How many soldiers are there in Xiangrong? How many soldiers are there in Ulantai?
Yong'an City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with only two routes north and south. The 50,000 troops cannot stop the rebellion. Is it useful for the court to raise you?
I don’t care about anything else. From now until tomorrow morning, the general’s artillery must be set up on the mountain. The artillery will be set on time at noon tomorrow. One quarter of an hour later, I will cut off your military rations for ten days. If the artillery will not be fired tomorrow, you two will get the military rations by yourself! I fucking sold all the grain storage in Guilin!”
After saying this, Sai Shanga left angrily. As soon as he left the camp, Lao Sai smiled, laughing very happily, just like constipation. He had been in the last year and had the most joy today.
"Xiang Junmen, what should we do?"
"What else can I do? Do as the imperial envoy said! This bastard is planning to break the can and give up. We are leading troops to fight, so we can't be buried with a scholar.
Build a cannon overnight! As long as you can get the artillery from Yong'an City, you can drive all the artillery on the mountain. We will hit Yong'an City together with dozens of artillery."
Ulantai asked this question well, what should I do? I can only fight to the death. The Taiping Army will have to fight to the death in the future. With this, the hatred will not be resolved at all.
If Yang Meng's artillery came, three or five days would kill and injured the people in Yong'an City, but the Qing army's artillery would not be more than satisfactory.
There were artillery on the front line of the Qing army, and there were dozens of them, but these artillery were all things from the Guangxi Green Camp, an old object from the Kangxi period. It was a bullet as big as a fist. It was not easy to hit the city, causing damage, and it was difficult!
These dozens of cannons can only cause certain psychological pressure to the Taiping Army and want to cause large-scale damage. I can only think about it when I go to bed at night.
Xiang Rong has never wanted to make things difficult for the Taiping Army. But the Taiping Army has long regarded Xiang Rong as the number one opponent, and the name of Xiang Yao has already spread throughout the Taiping Army.
Xiang Rong knew nothing about how this deadly revenge was formed, but Hong Xiuquan and other six leaders of the Taiping Army knew that because of the battle of Shui Liao outside Yong'an City, Xiang Rong's men injured the third person of the Taiping Army, the Western King Xiao Chaogui.
This is one of the six kings of the Taiping Army and the most brave prince before. Yong'an was won by Xiao Chaogui, who was led by Yang Xiuqing in trickery and Xiao Chaogui's brave battle formation. These two people are definitely worthy of admiration.
The six leaders of the Taiping Army are also divided into camps and classes. The Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Southern King Feng Yunshan are hardcore and cultural people; the Northern King Wei Changhui and the Wing King Shi Dakai are considered to be Hong Xiuquan's direct family and are from small landlords. These two people are now away from the core of the Taiping Army and have no chance to display their abilities.
The Eastern King Yang Xiuqing and the Western King Xiao Chaogui are both charcoal burners in Pingshan, and these two are also considered dead-wielding. Yang Xiuqing got the Heavenly Father's descending to the Child, and stabilized the Tianwang generation, while Xiao Chaogui got Yang Xiuqing's tip and helped the Tianwang to stably suppress the Tianwang.
Don’t underestimate this Heavenly Father, Brother Tian, when these two descended to earth, Hong Xiuquan also had to kneel down. Heavenly Father, Brother Tian’s partner can be considered complementary. Yang Xiuqing made plans to Xiao Chaogui to join the war. Before the Taiping Army could scatter Guangxi, Hong Xiuquan’s father and brother were also very capable.
But there is another saying: Clay pots cannot be broken from the wellhead, and the general will inevitably die on the battlefield. Xiao Chaogui is brave and will inevitably come to the front line in person. As a result, in the battle of Shuilia outside Yong'an City, the Western King of the Taiping Army was injured by Xiang Rong's subordinates with a gun lifted.
Although the gun was not accurate, it was very lethal. Yang Meng was extremely afraid of this thing. The steel plate on his chest was prepared for this. Xiao Chaogui was beaten and was lucky if he didn't die.
But after being shot, it was not good to live without death. If you were seriously injured, it was already the care of Xiao Chaogui by Brother Lao Shizitian. Xiang Rong's subordinates brought down the Western King, so the debt should naturally be paid by Xiang Rong.
It is just a trivial matter to make a mortal enemy with Xiang Rong. The most important thing is that the Taiping Army has lost one general. Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing can't let someone carry the Western King Xiao Chaogui to fight with the door panel, right?
Without a brave general, this breakthrough would be a difficult problem. If the Qing army's defense network could not be broken, the Taiping army could only be trapped in Yong'an City.
The Taiping Army had been staying in Yong'an City before. First, it was to reorganize the army for the sake of establishment and rectification. Second, it was to be afraid of the Qing army. It would be okay if the Taiping Army was a group of bachelors, but the Taiping Army, which was with its family, would not dare to break through even in the face of the loose encirclement of the Qing army!
It is simple to rush out, but it is difficult to protect the family. Now Yong'an City is surrounded and breaking through has become a choice that the six leaders of the Taiping Army have to make.
The six leaders of the Taiping Army were scratching their heads, but Xiang Rong and Ulantai were willing to go out. The main thing about shelling Yong'an was to look at Xiang Rong. Ulantai had no other strengths except for some bravery. But Ulantai had a good temperament. He knew that when Xiang Rong came to do things, he would follow the example of how Xiang Rong played.
The shelling of Yong'an was a foregone conclusion. For the sake of the army's food and supplies, it was easy to transport dozens of artillery to the mountain. According to Sai Shanga's deployment, at noon the next day, the "rumbling" artillery sounded in the east and west mountains. One by one, and it did not cause much casualties to the Taiping Army, but the morale of the Taiping Army was disrupted by the cannon sound.
The composition of the Taiping Army is mostly a bit miserable. I have never seen the world. If I had seen the world, they would not have participated in these three sects. Many people have heard of the Taiping Army, the general artillery, and the things that have been used to be. Looking at the clouds rising from the two mountains and the projectiles that have fallen into the city from time to time, these people were a little trembling.
Heavenly Father, Brother Tian, no matter how powerful the Heavenly King is, it is not as powerful as the "rumbling" cannon sound. The helpless Heavenly Father and Heavenly King can only frequently surrender to children to calm people's hearts.
As for Brother Tian, I can't count on him. Who dares to count on a charlatan carried by the door panel? So even if Xiao Chaogui is willing to help, Hong Yang and the others will not let him come out and act ugly.
Seeing the grand scene of shelling Yong'an, Sai Shanga was satisfied, and the title of a beautiful article also appeared in his mind. As for the article, it still needs to be handled by his staff.
"The sky and the earth are sunk, it's great! Keep doing this!"
Leaving this sentence, Sai Shang left the front line without looking back. If you bombarded Yong'an, the Taiping Army could still shrink? What if the Taiping Army breaks through? Compared with Yong'an, Guilin is safer.
Is Sai Shanga really willing to retreat? That's impossible. He is still counting on the colorful article in his belly to respond to the imperial court! Maybe the new emperor would transfer him back to the capital when he was happy!
One shot is to fight ten thousand cannons. After the shelling of Yong'an began, Xiang Rong also showed his real skills. One is to block Yong'an, and the other is to pour shells into Yong'an city crazy. He was just going to fight to the death, and he would be happy.
The sound of cannons day and night, and the less and less salt goods, Yong'an City could not be defended. If you guard it again, this is the death place of the Taiping Army. After arriving in Yong'an, the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, accepted many big girls as concubines. This little enjoyment was so good. He died in Yong'an, and Lao Hong was not willing to accept it!
