Chapter 10: Competition for Yuanzhou (2)

"Military advisor, Hong Chenggong has taken two cities in a row, and his spirit is in full swing. Why has he suddenly become so cautious? He actually walked thirty miles in two days, and even climbed faster than him. At this speed, wouldn't it take five days to walk under Yuanzhou city?" Wu Heimiao raised his head slightly and asked Zhuoba.

"Have you noticed why Hong Chengxuan walked so slowly?" Zhuoba opened his eyes and emitted a divine light, then closed it again.

"It seems that there are tens of thousands of people following him. Every time he goes, he broadens and renovates the roads he has already walked, and clears the shrubs and forests on both sides of the road, making it impossible for people to hide." Wu Heimiao has been taught by Zhuoba for so many years, and has some wisdom, so it is not difficult to see these.

"Hong Chenggong has done what he has done, and has already been between Yuanling, Luxi and Chenxi, to ensure the safety of the official road. In fact, this is his lifeline. Our army is good at sneak attacks. In this way, we cannot sneak attack his food road without realizing it. Hong Chenggong can have such great courage to make such a big move, it is difficult for this person to deal with!" Zhuoba said quietly.

"He pushes forward like a turtle like this. Wouldn't this king bit the hedgehog and can't get his mouth?"

"Puchi!" No one dared to laugh except Yin Ji.

When Wu Heimiao heard Yin Ji's laughter, she immediately recalled what she said just now. She thought she would learn from the Chinese people to show off her knowledge, but she called herself a dog. Her face turned red and white, and it was so embarrassing.

Yin Ji immediately realized that she shouldn't have made fun of her man at this time, so she quickly stopped her mouth and looked solemn. She really had a face like a change of change. She was so quick that she was really admirable.

"In fact, we can constantly send small teams to harass his food routes and destroy the observation posts and arrow towers he built between the three counties. The government troops are not good at night fighting, but we are different. We are still sure to attack the observation posts and arrow towers of the court at night." Li Yao, who had been cold, suddenly opened her mouth.

"The God General Li Yao said it well, but Hong Chenggong is a meticulous general, and it is probably not so easy to succeed." Zhuoba first affirmed Li Yao's plan, but immediately almost denied Li Yao's plan. It was impossible to tell whether he agreed or opposed it from his face, or that he had already thought of a better strategy.

Since Zuo Liangyu's army entered western Hunan, artillery has been open to the road. The sharp melee firearms such as mine cannons and hand grenade cannons have basically never been used. Especially the mine cannons are a defensive weapon. Attacking the tactics of using mines have not yet appeared in this time and space. These winning magic weapons are in hand. Is Hong Chenggong, a general who is good at using all war resources, lie in the logistics warehouse for nothing? Obviously impossible. Zhuoba guessed it very accurately. If he really divided his troops to attack his observation post and arrow tower, then his people would probably be crushed to pieces before they could get close to them, and his soul would directly enter the vacuum hometown and accompany Wusheng's old mother.

But if some people don't hit the wall, their heads feel uncomfortable, and they don't take their heads back until they hit them. Zhuoba also wanted to know what Hong Chenggong had, and was not afraid of his own sneak attacks, so he quietly signaled Wu Heimiao to test the other party's reality. As a result, more than 200 people who attacked were wiped out. After following the people who responded and observed, they were covered in dust. Everyone had deep fear on their faces. What did they say? Before the good people touched the observation whistle, they heard several loud noises. The earth suddenly exploded, and clusters of flying fires appeared. More than 200 good people who attacked were either pretended to be killed on the spot or buried in the dust. Are they still dead?

, when hit by flying iron or stones, most of them basically lost their ability to move. Soon a burst of rapid horse hooves came. A pair of cavalry rushed over in less than a cup of tea. Under the bright torches, the sharp sabers in their hands were waving one by one. No one could survive under the blade. They hid far away in the bushes two miles behind them, watching this vague and clear scene. At that moment, their legs were weak, and what they heard in the wind was the miserable screams of their brothers the moment before. The silent fear spread throughout their bodies until they came back in a daze.

Hong Chenggong immediately issued a military order to He Renlong, ordering him to quickly capture Anqing Prefecture and then attack Jingzhou. However, without his military order, he was not allowed to enter Jingzhou with one army and one soldier.

Wu Heimiao also has his own intelligence network, which has always been run by Zhuoba. Now he has divided some of it to Yin Ji. Maybe Wu Heimiao is afraid that he will become blind without Zhuoba, so he came up with the idea of ​​decentralization and let his woman take charge of half of the intelligence work. However, Zhuoba knew that Yin Ji might not know it. Zhuoba turned a blind eye to Yin Ji cultivating his confidants in the intelligence network, because he knew that without Wu Heimiao's tacit consent, Yin Ji would definitely not have the courage to do it, and he could not hide it from his own eyes. The news of Changsha being captured by the court in the north was only one step slower than the battle report Yang Zhaoji sent to Hong Chenggong, and it also came to Zhuoba.

Once Changsha City is captured by the northern court army, it means that the northern court can draw more troops to encircle and suppress it. This is definitely not good news. Zhuoba is now in a dilemma. The army conquered Jingzhou to the south and opened up a passage to Guangxi, but it is easy to be cut off by Hong Chenggong in half. He cannot look at the beginning and the end. To the west, the strategic space is limited. He also has to join a madman in Guizhou, and consume his strength in vain and let the court watch jokes. To the north, that can only be a temporary choice. The Peng family of Yongshun Xuanwei Department in the north is a dog of the imperial court. As long as he can maintain his territory and interests, he will take the surname of him. If he eats him, he will increase his strength. But at least he must take action after the major chieftains in western Hunan have participated in the alliance. Otherwise, if the name is not correct, the words will be unsatisfactory.

The Tian family, who was also in charge of the lawsuit, was actually beaten by an isolated army who penetrated his own territory. Not only did he lose his troops, but even his old nest was almost taken over by others. Wu Heimiao was not allowed to send another son-in-law, Nie Mingyu, to lead two thousand men to help the Tian family eliminate Cao Hu who was operating in Ganziping.

When Zhuoba's eyes fell on Yuanzhou City again, he stared at this small town with only more than 100,000 people and did not close his eyes for a long time. Although the city was in his hands, it was the feeling that it would fall into the hands of others sooner or later. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. He must find a way to let this uncomfortable feeling disappear from his heart.
