Zhou Huaian, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army who had moved to Shangluo City in Shangzhou, was also squinting his eyes in the central army's tent and listening to the returns like flowing water from the front:

"The west road comes to Dachang Pass, and the attacking Liu (Liu Mao) Central Army has won the victory in Duquxiang, successfully killing Mi Haiwan, the leader of the Shatusa Ge tribe, and Li Quan, the envoy of the Six Prefectures, the vassal states.

Seventy-six chiefs and generals were below Yi; they killed more than 3,700 soldiers and horses from Sage headquarters, and captured nearly 4,000... There were countless other cattle, horses and artifacts that were captured."

"The guerrilla regiments in the west have reported that they have intercepted and killed seventeen waves of messengers and cavalry seeking help from north and west. At present, the Dangxiang Tuoba and other troops are still on the front line of Ziwu Pass.

...I still don't know the situation in Chang'an City."

"Feige from Zhonglu came to report that Cao (Shixiong) who attacked in Lantian City fought with Shi Jingcun of Shatuan Anqing tribe and Bailuyuan..."

"Zhang (Quanyi) Dulang, who came out of the Lantianyu, has defeated Koda, the Tatars in Yinshan Mansion, and the seven defense teams of the Moli are moving closer to Lantian County...

”

"For the 19th Route Scout Team sent by the battlefield in the south of the city, only the seventh Route has received some rewards. The preliminary judgment of the scope of the activity of the Shatuo Zhuye family's original formation is still in Dutingyi

Between the Hengba Bridge;”

"However, because the enemy has raised their vigilance, the outer ranger is becoming more and more frequent, and the reconnaissance team can no longer get too close to the reconnaissance... can only confirm Shatuo and Tuihun

The coalition forces of the troops have already begun to attack the city."

Hearing this, Zhou Huaian nodded slightly and sighed in his heart. At least as the "Waiting Action" campaign he personally planned, the initial purpose has been achieved.

When the main effect is reached, the next step is to gradually tighten and compress the front, capture the target and carry out a specific battle to win.

In order to achieve and ensure the expected goals and effects, in addition to the 30,000 dispatched troops who have already taken the battle, he personally brought real attacks, including the First Army, more than ten days ago.

The actual reinforcement of 20,000 reinforcements and a large amount of material reserves that were enough to form several months of battle; it was for the needs of this moment.

It can be said that in addition to the previous expedition to Jiangdong, this is also the Taiping Army once again concentrated a large amount of manpower and material resources in a short period of time, and organized the second time to carry out the 50,000 people.

A large-scale battle.

After all, against the "one-eyed crow" who has opened one of the five generations of dragons, this potential darling of the era and the son of luck. But there is no luck mentality, let alone the

Comparison of luck and chance of collision;

Don't even expect the possibility of making a big fortune with a small amount, which will only give the other party a head, or become one of the stepping stones for the other party to grow and grow. After all, in every

The sons of the times have basically the same characteristics as having indomitable and constantly frustrated, and knowing others to use them well.

The best way is to use the generation gap in identity and strength like Zhu Laosan, to maintain friendly relationships and constant contact with him early, and then secretly induce him.

As the other party gradually deviates from the original trajectory of development and rise in history; even if it cannot be impressed by its subordinates, it can become a beneficial potential alliance support.

Either when the other party has just emerged and is not full of strength, rely on accumulating enough advantages and strength, push over with one go with a dignified and unfair attitude, and do not give it to the right

Any chance to win by surprise or create unexpected opportunities. As long as the strike and destruction are strong enough, even the son of luck will not be so easy to turn the tables out of thin air and recover.

of.

However, how can things in the world be so easy to be perfect or as smooth as possible? Zhou Huaian certainly wants to seek the best opportunity to intervene to become the best

It had a great effect; but after receiving the last batch of carrier pigeons released from Chang'an City, he could not wait any longer.

After all, on Chai Ping's side, he has already fought and restrained it with his own strength, and almost half of the military power of the official army camp. If he can't hold on, then this pre-match

The construction of a battle layout and goal is likely to fail or fail. Now, as the saying goes, "the sieve has been cast", the next step is to listen to it.

Destiny is done to do everything.

But at least compared to the macro possibility of leveraging and changing the entire civil war situation; with the south of Gyeonggi as the core battlefield, it is mainly aimed at a Shatuo under the official army camp

The army, its subordinates, Tatars, push the Hun tribes, and the coordinated Dangxiang Army, will be relatively simple in terms of strategic goals and tactical deployment.

Of course, when Zhou Huaian was the first to lead the formulation of corresponding plans and plans, the reason for the public was to insist on "It is better to cut off one of the fingers than to hurt his five fingers" and "not care about the enemy.

When I go a few ways, I will only go one way and one way" and "concentrate my efforts and focus on the other way";

The core is to use the advance troops in Chang'an City as bait and lead to mobilize and attract the vitality of some official troops, and then use the Lantian Pass, which echoes each other in the south of the capital.

With Lantian City as the support point, the power accumulated before was released in one breath, and it has achieved the effect of annihilation and killing the eyes of the official army.

But I didn't expect that among the enemy troops south of Chang'an, there would be Shatuo Army in the priority strike sequence. Therefore, the entire strategic deployment could not help but follow.

Specific adjustments and additional investments.

Therefore, the part of the reinforcements who are now ready to go with Zhou Huaian in Lantian Pass are used as reserves for critical moments, as well as blocking and interception.

Rule out the possibility of backup and accidents.

After all, in a sense, in the Guannei battlefield, the army of Huang Chao, who has been unrecognizable for a long time, is also the enemy and us.

It is an unexpected factor that cannot be ignored;

——I am secretly deploying the dividing line—

On the walls of the south of Chang'an City, amid the shouts and noises, the advance army chief Chai Ping looked at the vassal coalition forces that retreated like a tiger and a snake, but

There is not much moving shape.

Although the opponent's attack seemed not very attentive, it was even full of perfunctory intentions. He just rushed with his extremely simple equipment and shouted, and then threw down his scattered body under the rainy arrows on the city wall, turning his head and running.

Therefore, so far, even a few moats have not been filled; even the city gate has not been touched. However, the Taiping Army stationed on the top of the city still has caused real pressure and loss.

However, the offensives of the government troops in the city were higher and higher. It seemed as if they were inspired and inspired by the outside of the city, and they kept passing through the excessive city walls from the east and west and north sides, striving to squeeze and erode the Taiping Army's defense line.

Relying on their great advantage of not being afraid of death and injury in numbers, they even gradually learned lessons during the battle, and constantly tried to master and adapt to the rhythm of the Taiping Army's offensive and find new countermeasures and means; for example, using large rows of wet mud and bedding soaked in water to weaken and reduce the killing of various Taiping Army firearms.

Therefore, after the fire that burned more than ten yards south of the city was extinguished, the official army suddenly changed its course and took a round-the-clock attack, even in the dark night when they were unable to see their fingers, they would not hesitate to set up a torch and began to compete with the Taiping Army combat group in the ruins for every preset position.

However, in this precarious situation, Chai Ping still had to maintain enough strength on the city wall to prevent it, otherwise once flaws and loopholes were revealed, perhaps the situation would become a real threat of forced breakthroughs.

As a result, the Taiping Army was relatively well-equipped and well-prepared, but the overall limited force was amplified and highlighted by this tactic of bullying. Because he was too tired for days of fighting, he even had to cancel the irregular counterattack and harassment activities at night to save the soldiers' physical strength and spirit.

As a result, the temporary battalions formed by the containment of rebel soldiers collapsed one after another in the battle; even the situation of fleeing without fighting and attacking the rear was soon suppressed and gathered, but the lost positions and defense areas could not be recaptured.

Therefore, now, except for the guards around Queen Cao, there is no established temporary battalion; in fact, even these guards were included in the hands of Chai Ping, and as a reserve force that maneuvered (fire-fighting) everywhere on the front, there were some serious injuries.

In contrast, it seems that the common hatred of the enemy caused by the government army's arson to set fire to destroy their homes, the newly formed auxiliary soldiers performed a little in terms of overall morale, fighting will and tenacity.

However, most of them are young and strong people who have just picked up weapons and fought for their homes and relatives. Although they have received a large number of supplementary sources at once, in terms of combat skills, organizational discipline, coordination and cooperation, they can only be described as unscrupulous and mobs in terms of military literacy.

Therefore, once there are not enough old soldiers as the backbone of the formation to restrain and control them well, they will easily rush hard and rush hard, or be restrained and induced by the cruel and cunning officers and soldiers in the battle; even reveal obvious flaws and weaknesses, and accidentally end up with the destruction of the establishment.

So most of the time, Chai Ping deployed them on the city wall in turn, relying on the cover of the city wall to shaking flags and shouting and throwing arrows, so as to deter and deter those vassals and infantry outside the city.

However, this situation changed a few days ago; the official army actually sent people to shout and persuade them to surrender. Among them, they praised them for their trapped beasts and fighting, but it was a meaningless result of self-destruction.

Therefore, it is also claimed that as long as they are willing to give up the city defense on the spot and surrender to the royal army, they can be retained by all the personnel, and will be granted military order and official positions without breaking up the system, and will continue to work for the court or send them home...

Then Chai Ping was shot to death by a musket in front of the formation; although most people knew that this was a method of attacking the hearts of the government and the army's division and disintegration; it was inevitable that some commotion and confusion were caused in the last areas of the south of the city.

Especially among the local people and newly-organized auxiliary soldiers, their confidence and morale were inevitably seriously affected. Two days ago, a team of former rebels broke through the constraints of the Taiping Army and surrendered to the official army in the last two days. Then they became a living example of the opponent's confrontation.

Finally, Empress Cao personally took out her clothes and scolded and encouraged the rebel soldiers with a sluggish morale to improve. However, the situation became even more critical.

Because the government army on the opposite side seemed to have received absurd news from the people who escaped, saying that Empress Cao, together with most of the high-ranking officials of the Great Qi, and many treasures and warehouses from the Great Inner, all fell into the Taiping Army's defense zone.

As a result, the various official troops in the city who had been captured for several days and could not hide their fatigue were greatly inspired and inspired, and they became more proactive and extremely self-restrained and radical attacks between the three gates and the last two cities controlled by the Taiping Army.

At this time, the city's neighbors began to shout again: However, this time, it was no longer persuading them to surrender the generals and the Taiping Army, but instead advocated and incited ordinary soldiers below. As long as they could kill the officials and "abandon the dark and turned to the light", they could get rewards or origins based on their corresponding heads.

If he could send his thieves and relatives below Empress Cao, he could get the official and future of the corresponding rank... Chai Ping was even too lazy to let people waste cannon medicine and hit it. Because, those who could escape overnight in the past two days had already escaped, and the remaining ones were either devoted and desperate people, or those who were disheartened and lazy to die.
