Not long afterwards, in Dachang Pass on the branch of Shangluo Road in the southwest of Gyeonggi Province, someone also cursed loudly:
"Zhou Mengnan, you are a dog who eats inside and out... Seeing that everyone in Gyeonggi Province is suffering, you actually led the Taiping Army to take advantage of the fire to rob this?"
But it was a Dachangguan guard who was twisted to the ground with a gray head and face; and around him were those soldiers who had been disarmed and had different faces.
"What you said is so wrong...I brought soldiers here just to help everyone..."
Zhou Mengnan, the former Daqi abbot who had just deceived the switch city, but the righteous Lingran scolded:
"Isn't it possible that the Governor of Taiping was born in the same rebel army? Isn't it the son-in-law of the east bed appointed by the holy? Since they are all related to the king's own family, why can't he help the leader in times of crisis..."
"What's more, now that the king is not in the capital, can't the Cao Niangniang who is sitting in the situation ask her family to help her in the emergency; but what is the intention of pushing back and hindering the situation when you are here? Does it make people sit back and watch the situation deteriorate."
Speaking of this, Zhou Mengnan showed contempt.
"Furthermore, Shu Erlang, don't think that I don't know your relationship with that dead ghost Huang Cun. Those little hands and feet on weekdays are fine, this time, do you still want to drag everyone to die with you..."
"Bah, you are pretending to buy what is good. If you have the ability, please give me a good time. Why don't you be irritable..."
The defender on the ground retorted increasingly fiercely.
"It's nothing more. If you want to find death, this servant will go with you. At the same time, the origin of the rebel army, there is no reason to shoot the knife and spear against your own people before they have fought against the enemy..."
However, Wang Xingkong, who had been silent for a while, waved his hand to the left and right.
"Untie him, then bring armor and dry food; there are other people who are willing to go with them, and let them go; whether they appreciate it or not, it can be regarded as our heart for the brothers of the rebel army in Gyeonggi Province... "
So after such a statement, the thousands of defenders in Guancheng, in the end, only more than two hundred people stood up, willing to join the defender Shu Erlang to join Chang'an in the name of reinforcements.
The remaining defenders quickly fell into the aroma of gradually opened cans and fried noodles, bean strips, and simmered in dozens of cauldrons.
When they had a full meal with soup and water, and brought back those who had been attacked by swords and weapons, the atmosphere became more relaxed and alive; and they continued to devote themselves to strengthening the narrow pass. Go to work on the low north wall.
Now that the situation in the pass is chaotic and the enemy trails are looming; at least trying to protect themselves for the future, they are the new Taiping sergeants who are completely consistent and coherent, and they work well. Hard work.
However, when the Taiping Army provided the second abundant meal of soup and cakes, it didn't take long in the afternoon to see the fireworks that were also burning in the north, as well as the silhouettes of people who rushed back from the looming fireworks.
Although all of them lost their helmets and abandoned their armor, and made their heads and faces embarrassed, they were still recognized by sharp eyes. This was Shu Erlang and others who had been released from the prison in the morning.
And Shu Erlang, who was the first to flee with the Beatles, screamed with all his strength when he got close to the city;
"Quickly send people in the pass to respond. General Peng (Zan) has been exhausted in the battle with the enemy, and he has turned his troops around..."
As if confirming his words, on the undulating horizon of low hills in the distance, there soon appeared a chaotic man and horse dragging a flag and dangling weapons among the billowing smoke and dust.
I saw that they were running so hurriedly and hurriedly that they kept giving up the things that might be burdened on them all the way, and more people shouted one after another:
"Quickly close and open the door, the enemy is coming fiercely, the general needs to stop nearby for a while,"
The local defenders who were gathering on the city’s head also suddenly became upset; and under the leadership of a school lieutenant, the uninvited Taiping army stationed in the Taiping Army had already rushed out with Wang Xingkong’s promise. Go to Guancheng.
"Please let me lead them...
After hearing the news, Zhou Mengnan, who rushed over to stop him, was a step late, and asked Wang Xingkong to preside over the situation.
"No, just let them go if you want to go..."
However, Wang Xingkong unexpectedly stopped him.
"Next we will continue to do our own thing..."
The hundreds of defenders who rushed out quickly merged with Shu Erlang and others to make a place; then they met with the banner of General Pengda, and after a short negotiation, they led them towards Guancheng. Galloping.
However, when the pioneers led by Shu Erlang retreated into Guancheng, suddenly someone rushed to hack and slash at the left and right, and immediately disturbed the situation under the inner wall of Guan.
And that General Peng's men and horses, at the moment not far from the Guan Wall, suddenly erected many strange and strange flags. The black satin piping in the middle of the flag is the letter of the big "Li". word.
I saw their rushing front end, and in a blink of an eye, under the eyelids of the defenders on the wall, who seemed almost unprepared, they swarmed into the city.
When the door suddenly closed, there was a loud noise. With the billowing smoke and dust, many broken limbs and human fragments were sprayed out, and then on the wall, there was a black soldier holding a crossbow.
The small flag, which was waving down with extreme speed, blasted the arrow in the middle of the burst of fireworks, and the head-and-head bombardment hit the dense enemies under the city that were also uncovered.
In Guancheng, the enemy soldiers who disguised their friendly forces and took the opportunity to hack and kill indiscriminately also suddenly realized that something was wrong; after they killed the original defenders and set fire to a number of houses, they unexpectedly Can't find a way to break through the wall.
In other words, these stairs and passages have already been deliberately dug up and destroyed; some people have pushed down the wall to preset carts with bundles of debris, and the internal and external doorways have been congested in disguise.
So they were caught all at once, and the Taiping sergeant who occupied the double barriers inside and outside, within the projected killing range of the cross-strikes, there were even more uneven kerosene bombs and explosive bombs that were thrown at them. between. . . .
But after the sky gradually darkened, the enemy troops outside the pass who failed to attack and turned into forceful attack had to leave the devastated city head, and slowly retreated to the distance.
At this time, Wang Xingkong, who was expressionless, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, with these original defenders as bait and price, the so-called lure the enemy deep and the strategy of catching turtles in the urn almost made him mess up.
If, instead of just a delayed explosive bomb, suddenly blasted around an unfamiliar enemy general, and overturned it from his horse, the enemy would be in an uproar, I'm afraid they will be in an even more difficult situation. Among them, pay more.
—I am the dividing line —
In the city of Xiangyang, Zhou Huaian also stared at the rearranged map of the sand table in Guannei, and looked at the various marked objects that were gradually added with the messages sent back.
From ancient times to the present, the military mobilization capabilities derived from wars, as well as the distance and boundaries of military force deployment, have basically been based on the economic foundation formed by the corresponding resources and properties, relying on the core area of the ruling power, ebb and flow.
Therefore, many changes in the situation of wars, the ups and downs in the balance of power, and even the final matchups, seemingly accidental or unbelievable, are all closely related to these important factors.
In other words, most military operations and war processes in the world are carried out along with population, resources and properties, and the economic foundation with productivity as the core is interactively catalyzed.
For example, when Zhou Huaian was in Jiangling, the old and new transportation lines extended by land and water, and the siding signal tower system all over the inner and outer ridges of the ridge, can synchronize to Guangzhou outside the southern ridge, Yuzhou on the upstream Xiajiang Road; and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. During the Runzhou War in China, effective control and influence were carried out.
After moving northward for dozens of miles to Xiangyang, it will further strengthen the influence and efficiency of military operations in the Guannei area north of Shangzhou, as well as the Luyang Pass and Henan areas north of Zhaya Mountain.
After all, as a leader of a major force, even if he does nothing, he does not express his stance. The external deterrence and the restraint of the situation sitting there, and the invisible effect of the morale of the people inside are also completely non-ignorable.
These are especially obvious in the southern expedition to the north where the population and geography are relatively unfavorable and against the trend. For example, the Shu Han Zhuge Kongming's six out of Qishan, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's constant three marches to the Central Plains, the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Liu Yu and his son Liu Yilong, were called the "Yuan Jia Cao Cao" defeated Northern Expedition;
In the end, it is always the first move, such as breaking the bamboo, and then the stalemate and confrontation of prolonged offensive and defensive exchanges, and finally, the lack of support makes it impossible to maintain the results and the territory, and then completely give up or completely in the downward trend. Lose to the big defeat.
Even as a result, one's own basic disk was severely depleted, turned into people's livelihood and economic depression, and even continued to decline until collapse; and eventually became the fuse of the collapse of the corresponding regime and the unsustainable.
Although the Taiping Army is only engaged in intervention operations with some forces, almost nothing can happen on the battlefield where multiple forces are interlaced; as a traverser who is familiar with many historical allusions and lessons, it is natural to avoid this potential as much as possible. Minefields and hidden dangers.
As taught in later materialistic philosophy, when dealing with a matter, you will find that there will be many contradictions in the matter or process. At this time, you need to find the main contradiction that is dominant and plays a role in regulating or affecting other contradictions. "
After all, most of the rebels in the pass are visible, and it is difficult to determine the position of the enemy; sometimes the pig teammates are more dangerous than the enemy directly standing on the opposite side.
So simply treat them as uncertain factors and make long-term preparations for self-reliance and hard work.
Although Zhou Huai'an did not have the invincible force and generals to crown the three armies, or the ingenuity that could be handed down to the world; even he was naturally famous and unfamiliar, and his personal charm lay in it.
However, he at least has a ready-made structure for military construction and organizational systems for later generations, as well as a complete road map for developing productivity; more than enough, it can be used as a basic disk and a rear area for practice to constantly try and make mistakes and implement new things.
Therefore, in the general direction of strategy, Zhou Huaian only needs to use his own advantages and strengths to ensure sufficient rear reserves and smooth road transportation, and then gather enough well-equipped and well-trained troops to promote and crush the past. The general trend is good.
At this time, another Yu Hou strode in and said respectfully:
"Report to the chief governor that the envoy from the Chang'an Middle Palace (Queen Cao) has arrived outside the city by boat from Wuguan with an edict..."
"it is good.."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but patted the case with a fan, so that the last part of the many arrangements in the military pass was also made up; don't underestimate this seemingly illusory, but also known as a legitimate reason and excuse. (End of this chapter)
