Chapter 337: The Battle for Yangzhou (1)


Qi army battalion Wang Xuance was meditating in the tent, and as the Taiping army set up barracks every few tens of miles to resist.

Although it is possible that it was only the Taiping army that adopted the strategy of resisting step by step.

But war is not child's play, and the slightest carelessness will shatter your bones Therefore, now Wang Xuance will stop continuing to march and settle down.

After all, if you don't see through the conspiracy of the Taiping Army and rush into the army, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss.

As the battle in Xiangzhou stopped, the battle in the direction of Yangzhou was in full swing.

It is only said that with the Taiping Army's large-scale deployment of troops to Yangzhou, Chen Youliang's subordinates, who belonged to the Taiping Army, also attacked brazenly.

Launched an attack on Lin Shihong, who claimed to be the king of Nanyue in the central region of Yangzhou.

It is only said that Chen Youliang took the newly recruited Shi Lang as his general and went all out to kill.

Although Lin Shihong did his best to block it, Shi Lang's ability to use troops was not weak.

Successive victories along the way, gradually encroaching on the territory of South Vietnam, Lin Shihong had to constantly shrink the defensive line, without the power to resist.

But the cruel truth is not over, just when Lin Shihong was defeated.

The main force of the Taiping Army, which had already captured the east and south of Yangzhou, also followed.

It is only said that after seizing most of Yangzhou, Hong Xiuquan listened to Shi Dakai's suggestion and sent troops to cast a defensive line in Yuhang.

On the other hand, he led the army westward, joined Chen Youliang's department, attacked the Southern Covenant, and completely destroyed it.

Therefore, Hong Xiuquan personally sat on the front line of Yuhang to consolidate the defensive line.

And alone ordered the winged king Shi Dakai to lead an army westward.

With the attack from both sides, Lin Shihong finally had to give up all his territory, retreat to Xin'an County, and stick to Xiuning, the administrative office.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Youliang led the army to join Shi Dakai.

After the merger of the two armies, they attacked Xin'an in a big way It's just that now the Taiping Army after the combined army is even more powerful, and its soldiers have reached their peak.

Lin Shihong, the king of Nanyue, knew that it would be difficult to stop the Taiping army with the strength of his own army alone.

Therefore, Lin Shihong immediately took advantage of the fact that the Taiping army had not yet arrived, and sent an envoy to the north.

He wanted to ask Sun Jian and Li Zitong for reinforcements to jointly resist the attack of the Taiping army.

Subsequently, Lin Shihong personally supervised the soldiers to intensify the construction of the city defenses, hoping to reach the Taiping army.

Two days later, the Taiping army finally came to the city, and Shi Dakai, as the main general, had an idea in his heart after observing the city defense.

About Mo, Shi Da waved his gun and ordered: "The whole army listens to the king's order, retreats thirty miles, and sets up camp."

Hearing this, although the Taiping generals were puzzled for a while, they did not dare to violate the slightest violation, so they had to restrain the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and evacuate After all, Shi Dakai governed the army strictly, and one of the most critical ones was the military order.

No matter how the lord orders, as a general, you can only obey, not disobey Violators, beheaded Therefore, the Taiping army withdrew one after another after hearing the military order At this time, the guards on the city wall were overjoyed.

As a result of the fighting over the past few days, the South Vietnamese sergeants have seen the combat strength of the Taiping army.

The combat strength of his soldiers has been greatly enhanced through systematic training.

Not only that, but the Taiping army was also extremely fanatical, and almost every battle would be fought with fanatical fighting spirit.

The combat effectiveness of this army, which coexists with strength and faith, is undoubtedly the most terrifying Therefore, after seeing that the Taiping army did not attack the city, but withdrew, the defenders became excited.

Only, Lin Shihong, the king of South Vietnam, had his eyes wrinkled, as if he was worried about something.

Thirty miles away, the Taiping army camp In the tent, the Taiping generals asked Shi Dakai why he didn't attack the city, but retreated directly.

Hearing this, Shi Dakai signaled the generals to be quiet first, and then said slowly: "Everyone, you can find that the Xiuning city wall is extremely strong."

As Shi Dakai raised his question, the generals' eyes were all attracted Immediately, Shi Dakai continued to analyze: "Just think about it, now the South Vietnamese army has gone away."

"But why did Lin Shihong insist on retreating to Xin'an and trapping the lonely city?"

Immediately after, Shi Dakai spread out the map on the screen and explained with his finger.

"Xin'an is located in the north of Sui'an and west of Wu County, which can be reached in a straight line whether it is by water or land."

"Therefore, according to King Ben's guess, the reason why Lin Shihong is trapped in the lonely city is to ask for reinforcements."

"As long as Sun Jian of Wujun and Li Zitong, the king of Jiangnan, lead the army to help, they can reach this place in a few days."

"Then, Lin Shihong can use reinforcements to take the opportunity to regain the lost territory" "So, if this king is not mistaken, his envoy has now arrived in Wu County."

I have to say that Shi Dakai's strategic sense is not weak at all, and he will give Lin Shihong's plan out of the tray in a few words.

"The Wing King had already guessed Lin Shihong's plan" "Therefore, the reason why the Wing King retreated without a fight is because he wants to implement the plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements."

After a long time, I saw Chen Youliang ponder a little, stood up and said slowly.

"General Chen is really smart, no wonder he can't be able to fight against the surrounding anti-kings independently in the isolated and helpless western part of Yangzhou."

"Yes, this king is indeed preparing to encircle the point to send reinforcements, because now Lin Shihong has gone away."

"Even if our army attacks the city with all its strength and completely destroys it, it will only lose its strength in vain and will not gain the slightest benefit."

"After all, even if Lin Shihong perishes, Li Zitong and Sun Jian are still active in the Yangzhou area."

"This will definitely be extremely unfavorable for me to rule Yangzhou in the next step."

"Therefore, this king has to wait for reinforcements to come, and use the strategy of encirclement to send reinforcements, and defeat his Li Zitong and Sun Jian's troops."

"In this way, my heavenly kingdom's goal of unifying Yangzhou will be unhindered."

For a time, Shi Dakai spread out his pros and cons to the generals.

It's just that one of the generals asked: "How can the Wing King be sure that Li Zitong and Sun Jian will definitely lead the army to help?"

Hearing this, without waiting for Shi Dakai to explain, Shi Lang took the lead in explaining: "Because Lin Shihong can't perish" "If Lin Shihong exists, it is equivalent to Li Zitong and Sun Jian having a buffer place, and they don't have to face their Taiping Heavenly Army directly."

"But once Lin Shihong perishes, my Heavenly Kingdom Territory will fully border it."

"But my Heavenly Kingdom is located in Jiaojiao and Yang, but its strength is far from being comparable to Li Zitong and Sun Jian."

With Shi Lang's analysis, even coach Shi Dakai couldn't help but nod again and again, expressing his approval.

For a while, Shi Dakai was very optimistic about Shi Lang, and couldn't help but ask Chen Youliang on the side: "General Chen, General Shi is such a general, what position does he live in now?"

Hearing this, Chen Youliang slowly said: "King Qi Yi, Shi Lang is a general in the army, and his status is only below Zhang Bixian. ” Hearing that Chen Youliang had reused Shi Lang, Shi Dakai breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved After all, with Shi Lang's general, it can be said that the Taiping Army is the most lacking.

Therefore, Shi Dakai attaches great importance to the search and appointment of talents.

As the Taiping army made the decision to encircle the point and send reinforcements, I don't know if Li Zitong and Sun Jian can lead the army to help?
