Chapter 506: Attack on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Shuo moved to the tent to discuss matters.

Except for Shi Hu and Shanzhu, both generals at the first level of the division commander. One of them represents the First Division of the Longxiang Legion and the other represents the Third Division of the Huben Legion.

Before the discussion, Han Xin first reported the damage to the battle.

"In this battle, including the importance of personnel, our army lost more than 21,500 soldiers. Among them, the Second Division of the Leopard Army suffered the most heavy losses. Not only did more than half of the soldiers killed, but even the division commander Wei Zhang was killed."

When the generals heard this, they were silent.

In this battle, the Shanhaicheng army suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses.

More than 80% of the soldiers who died in battle were from the Leopard Legion.

The three thousand Shenwu Guards suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with Chiyou Blood Guard, losing more than 700 people. However, the Imperial Guard Division, including the Shi Wansui Division and the Shanzhu Division who came to reinforce, suffered minimal losses.

"A hundred thousand mountain barbarians, a total of more than 71,000 people surrendered, waiting to be reorganized. This is the case for the war loss statistics. Please tell me how to reorganize them in detail!"

Han Xin said, bowed to Ouyang Shuo and returned to his seat.

In the Battle of Wuzhou, more than 20,000 soldiers were killed in Shanhai City and more than 70,000 elite mountain barbarians were captured. One by one, one by one, and then one by one. If that is the case, Shanhai City added another 50,000 new forces.

Of course, if Ouyang Shuo had not been accidentally named [Bar King], these mountain barbarian warriors would not have surrendered, for fear of whether they had escaped or were executed for resistance.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, looked around the generals in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The Battle of Wuzhou has ended. But there is a larger battle ahead, waiting for us. All generals must not slackew."

"promise!"

The generals responded in unison with a solemn expression.

"Mountain pillar!"

Ouyang Shuo directly started to click.

"The last one will be here!"

Shanzhu didn't expect that he would be picked up by the first point.

"You will lead the Third Division of the Hu Ben Legion to set off tomorrow and rush to the Lingnan War Zone to join the army. After handing over the troops to General Cao Gui, you will then return to Shanhai City by yourself and report to the Military Affairs Office."

The Hu Ben Legion has been included in the Lingnan War Zone as a whole. Since the Battle of Wuzhou has ended, Ouyang Shuo naturally wants to release the Cao Gui Division back to strengthen the defense on the east side of the territory.

As for Shanzhu, he is the candidate for the division commander of the Iron Armored Beast Division under Ouyang Shuo's planned.

According to Du Ruhui's letter, with the efforts of Xiahou Ying, the Director of the Dian Pastoral Bureau, the breeding of iron armored beasts in the Iron Armored Beast Valley of Qiongzhou County has gradually taken shape and can be started to be assigned to the troops.

The War Readiness Administration has organized the Jiafangsi to tailor-made armor for the iron armored beasts. The iron armored beasts after being equipped with full body armor will be a terrifying existence on the battlefield.

Shanzhu was born in the Li tribe and knew the habits of iron armored beasts the most. He was also a powerful general and was the most suitable division commander of the Iron Armored Beast Division.

The soldiers of the Iron Armored Beasts regiment were selected from the mountain barbarian warriors.

"promise!"

Shanzhu was full of doubt when he heard this. Junhou asked him to lead his troops back to the Lingnan War Zone. This was not surprising. What was strange was why he personally wanted to turn back to Shanhai City?

Shanzhu can only hold it in his stomach for all this.

In addition to letting Cao Gui Division go, Ouyang Shuo focused on reorganization of the Leopard Legion. There were nearly 20,000 vacancies in the entire Leopard Legion, and how to make up for it is a difficult problem.

Ouyang Shuo decided to reorganize a heavy infantry division among the mountain barbarian prisoners and place it under Zhang Han's command. The original soldiers under Zhang Han's command were assigned to other divisions.

In addition, in addition to retaining the two brigades, the remaining soldiers were also organized into the Leopard Legion. In this way, the soldiers of the Leopard Legion were basically restored.

The remaining gap is only allowed to be left until after attacking the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Moreover, in this reorganization, the Leopard Legion incorporated either the elite mountain barbarian soldiers or the veterans of the Shi Wansui Division, plus the tempering of the legion soldiers in this battle in Wuzhou.

The strength of the Leopard Legion has not declined but increased, and has grown into a mature legion.

Shi Wansui was seriously injured in this battle. Even if he took [Peyuan Dan], he would only wake up temporarily. For real recovery, he would need to regulate his breathing and maintain it for more than one month.

If so, the Shi Wansui Division temporarily lost its chief general.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo simply promoted Jiang Kai, the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of Shi Wansui Division, to deputy division commander. Jiang Kai led the division, led Shi Wansui and Wei Zhang's body, and returned to Lianzhou County along the secret passage of the 100,000 mountains, and then moved to Mulan Fortress.

Three brigades of mountain barbarian warriors returned with Jiang Kai. These mountain barbarian warriors were reorganized into the Evil Division. The Evil Division had only two mountain barbarian heavy infantry brigades before. Ouyang Shuo made up for it in one breath and formed a pure mountain barbarian heavy infantry division.

The three brigades replaced by the Eilai Division happened to be incorporated into the Shi Wansui Division.

In this way, the three legions of Shanhai City were completely separated and no longer mixed together to fight.

The Longxiang Legion is stationed in the Mulan Fortress, the Huben Legion is stationed in the Lingnan War Zone, and the Leopard Legion is temporarily stationed in Wuzhou County.

After some reorganization, more than 50,000 mountain barbarian soldiers were left, and Ouyang Shuo was reorganized into four mountain barbarian independent divisions in one go. The specific number was determined after the war.

Of course, one of the divisions was prepared for the Iron Armored Beast Division that was still under construction. However, it is now in wartime, Ouyang Shuo still brought this division with him to deal with the threat from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The division commanders of the four divisions, except for Shi Hu who was appointed as the division commander of the Shanman Independent First Division, the remaining three divisions were temporarily taken over by generals of the Shenwu Guard.

Ouyang Shuo was also temporarily appointed as the commander of the army.

Ouyang Shuo did this, which was a helpless move. After all, Shanman had just surrendered, and it was difficult for anyone to suppress these guys except Ouyang Shuo.

But the Shan Barbarian Warriors are the best candidates for heavy infantry. Ouyang Shuo naturally would not be stupid, so he completely broke up the Shan Barbarian Warriors and organized them into various master groups.

The established Shanman heavy infantry division is the most terrifying.

The division commanders of the two Shanman heavy infantry divisions who were incorporated into the legion are necessitated. Needless to say, they have led the Shanman troops for a long time and are very compatible with the soldiers. They will not have much problem subduing new members.

As for Zhang Han, this famous general, not to be silent, is actually a ruthless person, and his skills are also very beneficial. Otherwise, he would not have trained a group of Mount Li prisoners into a strong army.

Just like this, Ouyang Shuo was relieved to let Zhang Han lead a mountain barbarian heavy infantry division. If it were other generals, even Di Qing, Ouyang Shuo would not be completely relieved.

After completing the reorganization, Ouyang Shuo had two armies in his hand, plus the Imperial Guard Division and four independent mountain barbarian divisions, a total of more than 200,000 elite troops.

This time, Ouyang Shuo wanted to see how the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was still arrogant.

************

The next day, Shanzhu and Jiang Kai led their troops to leave.

Han Xin led the Leopard Army and stayed at the command center for two days. One was to complete the reorganization of the army, and the other was to deal with the aftermath.

Two days later, Han Xin will lead the Leopard Army to advance westward and cooperate with the Longxiang Army to form a joint attack on the southern army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom outside the Mulan Fortress.

Ouyang Shuo led the Shenwu Guard, the Imperial Guard Division and four independent mountain barbarian divisions to set out to Chiyou City to declare the birth of the new king.

The end of the Wuzhou War does not mean that Wuzhou County has been included in the rule of Shanhaicheng.

At least one thing, Ouyang Shuo must find a way to gain recognition from the Shanman tribes.

After all, only the mountain barbarian warriors witnessed the crowning of Ouyang Shuo. Other mountain barbarians, especially the mountain barbarians living in Chiyou City, did not see it.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo wanted to declare his existence as quickly as possible to avoid variables.

Ouyang Shuo brought the Shenwu Guard and the Imperial Guard Division this time to prevent accidents. With such a trump card in his hand, even if there is any incident in Chiyou City, Ouyang Shuo has the confidence to deal with it.

In addition, the governance of Wuzhou County is also a big problem.

Unlike Leizhou County and Zhaoqing County, the ruling class of Wuzhou County is Shanren. The Han people in the county have always been in an oppressed position. There have always been deep contradictions between the two races.

How to balance the interests of Wuzhou County this time is a big problem.

If the power of the Shanman was removed at once, it would definitely cause a rebound. However, if the status of the Han people in the county was not restored, the economy of Wuzhou County would not be able to develop.

Although Chiyou managed Wuzhou County like an iron bucket, Ouyang Shuo was really not worthy of his economic achievements, and it was simply a mess.

The entire Wuzhou County is just a mess.

The economy in the county is probably no different from that in primitive society.

Therefore, it is really a long way to go to bring Wuzhou County on the right track.

The most important thing is to choose a qualified county magistrate. This county magistrate must have both tough skills and be able to suppress the mountain barbarians, and also have flexible political wisdom to balance the interests of the mountain barbarians and the Han people.

In addition, you must have a certain economic mind and be able to revitalize the economy of Wuzhou County.

Last night, Ouyang Shuo had already sent a letter to Xiao He and Fan Zhongyan and appointed Fan Zhongyan as the county magistrate of Wuzhou County.

At this time, only Mr. Fan can take on this important task.

The position of administrative director left by Fan Zhongyan is naturally topped by Xiao He. The official assessment led by the administrative department will also be continued by Xiao He and will not be interrupted.

Before Fan Zhongyan led officials to take over Wuzhou County, Ouyang Shuo had to take charge of Chiyou City himself.

In the war in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, two gods, Bai Qi and Han Xin, were staring at each other, as if nothing was wrong.
