After looking at Jiang Zhongyuan's resume, Yang Meng felt at ease. In Guilin City, there is the governor Zou Heming, and Jiang Zhongyuan from this Neo-Confucian School. As long as Zou Heming is obedient, with the 40,000 to 50,000 people in Guilin City, it will not be difficult to block the Taiping Army, which has only more than 10,000 soldiers to fight.

"Build a few more high platforms in the camp. We have nothing to do in this battle. Our task is to watch the show."

The military camp where Yang Meng is located is located in the south of the city, which is a high ground in the river. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, the army that attacks the city will not take into account both here. If the Taiping Army was not stupid, it would not attack its own military camp.

Sai Shanga, who was stuck in Yangshuo, has not moved these days. It seems that he wants to rely on his personal guards around him to protect his safety. I am afraid that the Taiping Army will not leave for a day, and Sai Shanga, the leader of Guangxi, will not return for a day?

Xiang Rong rushed back to Guilin in a day before the Taiping Army returned to the Yang family's Wuzhuang here also played a certain role. Several Wuzhuangs were united together, and all the young and old were thousands of troops. The Taiping Army now has strict military disciplines, and the other is that it dares not get entangled with local militias.

The local militia are not like the Qing army. They protect their homes and their combat effectiveness is stronger than the Qing army. Although it is only a thousand people, it is very likely to hold more than ten thousand people for three or two days. Once they are dragged down, if there is a Qing army behind them, the result will be unpredictable.

In addition to the restraint of local militia, after hearing about the fall of Liutang, Zou Heming sent reinforcements to hinder the Taiping Army. However, this piece of reinforcements that were pieced together would be better than not send. When the reinforcements arrived at Liutang, they were defeated and defeated the fleeing defeated soldiers. This greatly increased the panic in Guilin City.

After Xiang Rong rushed back to Guilin in a hurry, he immediately arranged defense. At this time, Zou Heming, the newly defeated governor in Liutang, also listened to Xiang Rong and arranged everything according to Xiang Rong's wishes, just waiting for the Taiping Army to arrive.

Although there are too few troops in Guilin City, Xiang Rong knew that there were probably no reinforcements except Ulantai, which was consolidating the army.

The Taiping Army, who came one day late, had the first plan to make a city. Luo Dagang, who was still a pioneer, brought people to the Qing army's robe, lied that it was the defeated army of Xiang Rong's subordinates, and tried to open the city gate in Guilin. Once the city gate was opened, the feint attack would become a real attack.

Unfortunately, Xiang Rong entered the city wall of Guilin one day. Where did his defeated soldiers come from except for the two thousand people under his command? Take a closer look at the hair of Luo Dagang and others. OK! The Taiping Army is cunning. If he didn't come back, Guilin, the provincial capital, would definitely not be able to save it!

Thinking of this, Xiang Rong felt extremely proud. If he hadn't rushed forward this time, he would have been very guilty.

"Bo! The hair is very good. Your family is here. You are still young in the city!"

Seeing that the strategy of earning the city was discovered, Luo Dagang did not hesitate and turned around and ran away with his own people.

Everything that happened on the city tower was in a short time. It was still a letter delivered by Fei Ge. After looking at this dramatic scene, Yang Meng felt helpless!

"Fuck! Are the tactics of the Taiping Army and the Qing Army taught by the storyteller? Change clothes and earn the city, and the city walls are verbal wars. Have you seen too many of the Three Kingdoms?

Xiang Rong is also a fool, so he can make a few fires. The medicine barrel is half fire, medicine, and half copper coins. Maybe he has to catch several big dead fish in this moment.

If you don’t have to shoot a few arrows, shoot a few shots, and you will be the least likely to pour some hot water and hot oil! This guy, who was so angry that he scared away his military achievements with a "scream" sound."

The time to joke is also the time to learn. The city's offensive and defensive battles must be both good at attacking and defending. Xiang Rong, an old corpse, is not a good material for quickness. It is too rigid and does not know how to learn and apply it at all.

The plan to make a city was fruitless. The Taiping Army was outside Guilin City and was siegeing the city. It is true that Guilin City is easy to defend, but it is also easy to surround it. It is surrounded by water on both sides and mountains on the other side. The Taiping Army only needs to set up defenses in the southwest of Guilin City, even if it surrounds the provincial capital.

Although the Taiping Army was so powerful, Yang Meng roughly estimated that there were only six or seven thousand people in front of the battle formation, and the rest were only the weak, women and children.

As the telescope angle changed, Yang Meng found a batch of objects that surprised him in the Taiping Army's formation.

"Where did the Taiping Army get the artillery? What's going on with these dozens of artillery?"

Yang Meng couldn't help but be angry. Dozens of black cannons were placed behind the military formation. With these things, Guilin City was no longer a strong city. As long as the cannons were fired, the hearts of Guilin would be in chaos in a few days, and if they were not done well, there would be people who would open the city to surrender.

Yu Biao, who had just returned to the military camp, turned to look at Yang Meng after looking at him three times. He really didn't know about this! Where did the Taiping Army get the artillery? Yu Biao, who followed along the way, didn't notice the slightest.

"Third Master, it's my subordinate's negligence!"

"This is not a problem that negligence can solve. Look at the standard of these artillery, they are all two thousand kilogram iron cannons used by the Qing army. Could it be an object from the Yong'an front line?"

"No, the dozens of cannons on the Yong'an front are still on the mountain! Xiang Rong was walking anxiously, and Ulantai didn't have the heart to care about those things. It could not be Yong'an's cannons."

Yu Biao decisively denied Yang Meng's speculation. When he came back, he also made people pay attention to the situation in Yong'an. There were at least 30,000 Qing troops around Yong'an. It was impossible for the Taiping army to seize the cannons, but it was impossible for them to be dispersed.

"Who was observing the enemy situation just now, called over and asked what was going on?"

The threat to Guilin by dozens of 2,000-pound iron cannons is devastating. As long as the Qing army on the city wall is suppressed, the Taiping army can calmly climb the city. In close combat, I am afraid that the Qing army is not the opponent of the Taiping army.

"Third Master!"

After the order was passed, the Yazi officer who had just observed the enemy situation went up to the high platform.

"Speak, what's going on with those artillery? Why don't you report such an important military situation early?"

Fortunately, the siege has not started yet. Once the siege begins, a volley of these artillery fires may scare the Qing army on the city wall.

"Third Master, that's a fake cannon. Three people can lift it. It's definitely not a real cannon. Those cannons also have them in Yunnan. They are two thousand kilograms of iron cannons used by the green camp. Such iron cannons. When they are loaded with a cannon cart, the three people can barely drag them away, but it's impossible to carry them away."

The people of Yazi were carefully trained by Yang Meng. Whether it is military quality or military skills, these people are selected from the best. Such negligence is unforgivable to appear on Yazi. After hearing the officer's explanation, Yang Meng's frown slowly unfolded.

"If such a thing is true or false, it must be reported. You think it is a small matter. If it delays a big matter, I want your head, remember it! Go down!"

Before the attack on the city was started, psychological warfare started. The Taiping Army's methods became more and more organized, which was really not a good thing for Yang Meng.

Compared with the clumsy teachings of the Three Points Church, the military qualities of the leaders of the Taiping Army are definitely first-class. If such people are matched with cults, it's a problem!

The Taiping Army's military formation is also remarkable. With Lize Gate, South Gate and Wenchang Gate in Guilin City as the front line, and General Bridge outside Guilin City as the main guard camp, in this way, in order to hit the Taiping Army's camp, except for the navy, there is only one path of General Bridge.

The first day when the city was not achieved, the Taiping Army was busy arranging military formations and setting up camps. The still neat military camps and airtight defenses were not airtight. Compared with the Qing army, the Taiping Army was more like the regular army.

The dozens of civilian ships robbed by the Taiping Army in Liutang were also used to block Guilin. This land-based battle formation was quite powerful as a national war.

The battle for the provincial government started not from the siege, but caused by the chasing Ulantai. Ulantai spent two days on the Yong'an front line and formed an elite army of two thousand people. For the Green Camps stationed in Yong'an, Ulantai wanted to carry them to Guilin to defend, but after all, the subordinates were different. Without Xiang Rong, the soldiers and generals of the Green Camp did not pay much attention to Ulantai.

When is it now? To defend the provincial capital, we must fight with Changmao. The generals and officials of the Green Camp are more keener than the other. Guilin cannot go to the same place. This is the unanimous opinion of the generals and officials of the Yong'an Green Camp.

Ulantai, who had just captured King Hong Daquan of Tiande, was also in a high spirits. The battle situation on that day was so tragic that he could capture King Tiande alive in the chaos. This time he would remove the word De and capture King Hong Xiuquan alive.

Since the miscellaneous people in Yong'an do not know the current affairs, he had to take over this huge military achievements alone.

When he arrived outside Guilin City and saw the Taiping Army's camp, Ulantai felt that his opportunity had come. There was Guilin City in front and General Bridge behind. As long as he rushed in along the General Bridge, what happened to the two thousand people? He could still disperse the Taiping Army's large groups. As long as Xiang Rong left the city and attacked the Taiping Army in one battle, it would be a matter of holding hands.

The general who leads troops is most afraid of being as arrogant as Ulantai. His plan is good, but he also needs to see the quality of the soldiers. If he has more than two thousand people, everyone is Ulantai. Some of them are fighting in this battle. Unfortunately, most of his subordinates are cowardly. This tactic of the war is wrong. I’m sorry that I’m sorry if I don’t defeat!

Ulantai hurriedly crossed the bridge and was immediately ambushed by the Taiping Army. With the sound of cannons, Ulantai rolled down from his saddle. The two thousand men fled in scattered. The Taiping Army was easy to kill. In order to rescue Ulantai, the Qianzong Li Dengchao died on the General Bridge.

Xiang Rong was overjoyed when he saw the flag of Ulantai at the top of Guilin City. He and Ulantai were considered comrades who shared life and death. One inside and one outside happened to block the retreat of the Taiping Army. As long as Ulantai guarded the General Bridge, the Taiping Army camp would be dead.

It is better to do it well than think well. Ulantai's actions made Xiang Rong on the city wall curse secretly. If you are going to break into the camp, you should at least gather some people! Thousands of people defend the Taiping Army with all kinds of defense. Ulantai's forgetfulness was too great, so he forgot how the two of them were defeated in Longliaoling!

The remaining troops of Ulantai first retreated to Liutang, but Liutang was scrapped clean by the Taiping Army. Ulantai's injuries were not too serious, so he commanded the remaining troops to go to Sai Shang'a's camp in Yangshuo.

Guangzhou Vice-Governor Ulantai was obviously not as lucky as Xiao Chaogui, the Western King of Taiping Army. Although he was slightly injured, Ulantai was very unfortunate. The season he had caught up with was not good. The turn of spring and summer was the time of hot flashes. Ulantai's injuries were infected halfway. Not long after entering Yangshuo, the Manchu general who dared to defend the Taiping Army had his braids.

After defeating Ulantai, Sai Shanga did not dare to go deep into Guilin. Ulantai's defeat also defeated the only reinforcements in Guilin City.

It is better to beg for yourself than to ask for others. God and Ulantai jointly taught Xiang Rong a lesson. In order to save his life and to protect the city walls of Guilin, Xiang Rong also showed all his abilities.

The city defense was rectified and the city defense recruited strong men, and Jiang Zhongyuan's 500 Xiang Yongs, in a moment, Xiang Rong, who had sold his strength, also sorted out the city defense in Guilin.

With stable city defense, Guangxi Governor Zou Heming also felt confident. He didn't know that this guy's comments had completely ruined the good relationship he had just cultivated with Xiang Rong.

Zou Heming is the chief official of Guangxi. The memorials are indispensable for asking for rewards. Xiang Rong, who is powerful, was only mentioned by the four words "Xiang Rong Yizhi", which annoyed Xiang Rong, who is desperate.

"You guys will only kill the thief if you lose your pen!"

This was said by Xiang Rong pointing at Zou Heming's nose. Just because of these four words, Xiang Rong began to oppose Zou Heming everywhere. As long as Zou Heming was Zou Heming, it would not work when he arrived at the city. Xiang Rong's words were only good at the city wall. Guilin City was still the world of Zou Heming.
