Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 82 2 lines (1)
Looking around at the neighbors, the north is the Beiyuan controlled by the Kamans. It is a blessing that the Kamans did not come to invade. Yu Yongzhi never thought of recovering the Beiyuan; the east is the Tanghe Empire The core of the city—the imperial capital Zhongzhou, although there is only one corps stationed outside the city, but facing the solid defense system of the imperial capital and the Imperial Guard Corps, Yu Yongzhi has not been arrogant enough to think that he can conquer the imperial capital in one fell swoop; Chengda in the southeast You originally belonged to the same lineage of Taiping, but now although he has joined the Tanghe Empire, his combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and his force has suddenly increased to more than 100,000 people. Dare to dare to touch has become a veritable colleague of the King of Jiujiang; to the south is King Situ Jun of Jin, with more than 100,000 people under his command crammed into this small Huanggang Mansion.
Only Tianshui Mansion in the west belongs to Heshuo County and is an important town to the west of Heshuo. It overlooks Jincheng in the south, Pinglu in the north, Longdong in the west, and Hanzhong in the southwest. It can be described as a battleground for military strategists, but Li Wufeng actually only placed one division to station here. Although it is the First Division of the Northwest Army, which is known as the Northwest First Army, it has a total of only 20,000 people, and he mobilized more than 100,000 troops. , several times the opponent, will it still miss? Especially according to intelligence, Li Wufeng doesn't have much mobile combat power in Kansai, so as long as he seizes the opportunity, it should be no problem to win Tianshui.
Before the battle, Yu Yongzhi was full of confidence. He didn't expect that the 180,000 troops would suffer repeated setbacks under the Tianshui City, and the enemy would still attack the city. . The siege battle was unprecedentedly fierce. It cannot but be said that the Taiping Sect is quite good at deceiving people. Although the weapons and armor are simple and lack of various equipment, with fanaticism and courage, the most common ladder can also become a magic weapon to conquer the city.
Although Qu Bo received an order from Shangfeng to abandon the city when necessary, he did not intend to end the city defense battle so easily. In addition to the garrison force of one regiment being included in his direct management, he has temporarily recruited reserve soldiers from two regiments to perform auxiliary tasks, such as transporting supplies and weapons, carrying the wounded and food, and other less dangerous activities. Qu Bo's plan was to let them get used to the fighting atmosphere for two days. If the military situation was really urgent, the only option would be to send the reserves of these two regiments into the battlefield and directly accept the baptism and training of blood and fire. As for the five regiments of the regular army and one regiment of garrison troops, except for the two regiments responsible for defending the east gate, the other three gates only used four brigades for defense, and the three drawn brigades were Formed into a reserve team, ready to be put into the battlefield for emergency.
The arrival of 30,000 rangers can be said to be a timely help. When Qu Bo had already put two reserve regiments on the battlefield as the general reserve, he had no more troops to deploy. At this time, 30,000 nomadic light cavalry sneaked in from Hanzhong to cover up the attack quietly, easily broke through the Taiping Army's defense line in the south of Tianshui, annihilated a 10,000-strong Taiping Army in one fell swoop, and then went straight again without stopping. The Taiping army camp under the towering water city.
The sneak attack was chosen just after midnight, and the Taiping Army who had just gone to bed was obviously not in the mood, and the security forces also focused their attention on the north. They were not as strong and tenacious as the Kamans, and the Taiping Army was immediately wiped out. disaster. The 30,000 iron cavalry swept up and immediately destroyed the two ten-thousand-man camps stationed under the south gate. The nomadic cavalry who set fire and trampled everywhere were like a group of hornets chasing the Taiping soldiers who were fleeing in embarrassment. Armed with religious fanaticism Once the soldiers encountered such a sudden blow, they could no longer maintain the morale of the army, let alone organize effective defense and counterattack, which was very different from the performance of the Kamanians.
The disintegration of the 20,000-man team soon spread to the west gate. The 30,000 rangers abandoned the east side, which had the strongest defense and combat effectiveness, and rushed into the western front camp that had just reacted. The chain reaction was very fast. Appearing in the West Camp soon, the Taiping Army soldiers who had no idea where the enemy came from or even what happened in the dark night dispersed in a rush. Both the West Camp and the South Camp turned into a sea of flames. The army soldiers trampled on each other, just those soldiers who were sleepy in the dark and ran out in panic regardless of the life and death of their comrades-in-arms.
When Yu Yongzhi, who was awakened from his sleep, heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears. Although the South Camp and the West Camp were not the center of gravity, they had deployed 40,000 troops. There are also special defense troops deployed on the periphery of the city, which collapsed overnight. Such ensuing blows made Yu Yongzhi have to calm down and consider whether it is necessary to continue the battle to seize Tianshui.
The 180,000 army now has less than 120,000 people, and Tianshui City is still standing tall. Of course, he doesn't know that the First Division in the city has reached its limit. He can only analyze it from the battlefield situation during the day. There is no sign of retreat, and the arrival of tens of thousands of nomadic cavalry shows that the reinforcement speed of the Northwest Army is much faster than my original estimate. The cavalry has arrived and caused considerable trouble for myself. Even if I was able to take Tianshui City, who suffered heavy losses at the time, I am afraid that I might not be able to hold it.
Since he retreated to Hejian in such a disgraceful manner, how should he explain to the prestige and the moderates who were already somewhat dissatisfied with him? Yu Yongzhi could also guess that the established Northwest Army might be at its most difficult time, maybe he was working harder, maybe he would mobilize two of the most elite 10,000-strong teams to launch an attack tomorrow, maybe Tianshui City would surrender tomorrow. under his feet. But all of this is just a possibility and possibility. Maybe what I invested in another two million teams would still be a heavy loss and humiliation. I am deeply distressed, without a backing team that belongs to me, I am afraid that the Holy King can abandon me at any time.
Thinking of this, Yu Yongzhi couldn't help shivering, and Lan Bailin's gentle and slightly cold face came to mind again. Lan Bailin, who took over the role of his senior brother, has obviously won the full support of the Holy King The remaining forces of Xu Wenzhe and Bo Jinchen have gradually surrendered to Lan Bailin under the hint and acquiescence of the Holy King. Apart from the Holy King, the only one in Heshuo who can compete with his own power is Lan Bailin , You Daofang's clear and vicissitudes of thin face loomed in front of Yongzhi, and a somewhat vague idea that made Yu Yongzhi shudder lingered in his heart.
He has already controlled more than 60% of the Heshuo Taiping Army's military strength. Will the Holy King think that he has too much power and deliberately weaken his power? Recalling the gentle smile of the Holy King before the expedition, Yu Yongzhi didn't feel like it, but this thought was still lingering in his heart. I probably should really follow the advice of my subordinates to let the army rest for a while, and then inquire about the news of staying in Hejian, maybe the news from Hejian will help me make a wise decision.
The situation on the northern line started suddenly, but the southern line was already under attack. The offensive and defensive battle of Loushanguan has been close to a week, and the full preparation and unwavering fighting spirit of the Maqihan people finally won the reward. After paying a price of more than 60,000 people, the Maqihan people finally broke through the Loushan Pass. The desperate fighting power of the Sanjiang army made the Maqihan people, who have always been fierce and wild, also deeply regret this Tanghe... The veterans of the three kingdoms of the empire expressed their sincere admiration. The six attacking regiments took turns, and countless advanced and powerful siege equipment poured on the wall of this fortress that did not seem too steep~IndoMTL.com~Almost every The attacking corps lost more than 30% of their troops in front of this fortress, especially the two Habayashi corps lost 40%.
The smoke column of corpses burned inside and outside the customs is always high. Due to the large number of deaths and the hot weather, the logistics department cannot deal with such a large number of corpses. To prevent the spread of the plague, the strong stench of corpses and the smell of burning enveloped Loushanguan into a huge cremator.
When the flying wolf flag of the Machihan people was finally raised above Loushan Pass, Pu Tiancheng couldn't help but burst into tears. In order to capture such a small fortress, he paid more than two elite regiments. He thought that this was the most tragic and dangerous battle he had ever experienced in his life. He always believed that taking a head-to-head attack was the most incompetent performance of a coach, but Ya Ning, who was one of the three generals of Machi Khan, once said something meaningful at this time, but it is very practical at this time: "For a general's life, if he can't experience a few tough battles that will make you unforgettable, then he will never be called a hero. He is a successful commander."
Countless brave men of the Machi Khan sacrificed their lives in this battle. More than 300 officers above the centurion level were killed, and more than 20 officers above the thousand commander level were killed. One person was also killed and two were seriously injured. Such a painful price has never been paid by Maqi Khan since the founding of the country, but now it is Pu Tiancheng's turn to bear it all. Although neither the Minister of State who was stationed in the country nor His Majesty Khan, who was in command on the southern front, said nothing, and praised the significance of obtaining Loushan Pass, this still made Pu Tiancheng, who has always been resolute and unyielding. Feeling depressed.
