Chapter 26 Outside Guangliang City
At this moment, when I heard that the imperial army came to quell the rebellion, these Tianping Sect's disciples actually wanted to gather heavy troops to seize Guangliang City, and then defend the enemy from the southwest...
Guangliang City is under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Governor's Office, and the relationship between the two Governor's Offices has always been good.
Although Guangliang City is an important place, Guangliang City did not station too many troops at this time.
That is, after the chaos broke out in the southwest, Nanzhen sent a regiment to strengthen the defense here and prevent the Fenping Sect from entering the southeast.
At this time, Guangliang City had only at most two regiments stationed, with a total force of five or six thousand.
Moreover, they are not the old new army reorganized according to the military reform of Roba, but the original local army.
The combat effectiveness of these armies can only be said to be more important than maintaining public order.
Fortunately, in the southwest chaos, thousands of new Southwest troops retreated into Guangliang City at that time, and are now the main force of this battle.
Today, all the troops in Guangliang City are 12,300.
However, looking at the black and siege of the Tianping Cult outside Guangliang City, especially the most elite army of the Tianping Cult, were also equipped with steam guns and cannons, which made the commanders of the two local town troops frightened.
If it weren't for the officers of the Southwest New Army next to them, I'm afraid these two regiment commanders would have already trembled with their legs, and they might even have just escaped!
"Captain Qiu, there are too many enemies outside the city. Should we transfer the troops back and rely on the city wall to defend?"
A local town army commander carefully approached Qiu Fuyuandao.
Although he was the regiment commander, Qiu Fuyuan was just a battalion commander. However, when he talked to Qiu Fuyuan, he seemed very polite and careful.
Not to mention that the two are local town troops and the other is new army. Local town troops are basically the role of maintaining local public order, and their status cannot be compared with the new army at all.
Not to mention, although Qiu Fuyuan is just a battalion commander, he now has more troops than the two of them.
Nothing else, Qiu Fuyuan is a tough guy, and the southwest is in chaos. A new army in the southwest was infiltrated by the Tianping Sect and seized command.
As a result, he suddenly rebelled, and the other new troops were not prepared and were disarmed without a single shot.
Only Qiu Fuyuan saw the opportunity, and without saying a word, he actually connected several armies to attack at the same time and broke out of Yunzhou.
Along the way, they encountered blocking and chasing from the Tianping Sect, and were killed and dispersed. Now even when they arrived in Guangliang City, they still had six or seven thousand troops under their command.
The total number of new troops in the southwest was more than 40,000, of which 20,000 were followed by Feng Guangning to Changde to help. The remaining new troops in the southwest were actually brought out by Qiu Fuyuan. Almost one-third of the troops.
It can be seen that this person has a high prestige among the Southwest New Army on weekdays.
At this moment, Qiu Guangning stood on a high slope, staring at the battlefield, and turned a deaf ear to the commander's words.
The more than 7,000 soldiers he commanded were divided into three battle formations, exerting their firepower advantages to the maximum. In the midst of the rain of bullets, they harvested the lives of the Farity Cultists like cutting rice.
There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, which was a humiliating fire!
And the officers and soldiers he commanded were similar.
They are the New Southwest Army and the only army in Daqi that has defeated the Roman Empire.
On weekdays, they always claim to be the most powerful army in the Great Qi Dynasty. They can't see clearly the troops that fled to the Beizhen town.
But when the chaos in Yunzhou started, the disaster broke out, and Xiao Yun was killed. His comrades suddenly rebelled, and most of the new troops were disarmed without even shooting.
Only they led a few men and horses to seize the opportunity to escape from Yunzhou and come to Guangliang City.
For these proud young and strong officers, they were defeated and fled from Yunzhou without a single shot. This was a great humiliation.
At this time, they have the opportunity, so they must find it back from the Falcon Sect.
Only blood, enemy, or their own blood can wash away the humiliation on them!
"Captain Qiu, it's too dangerous outside. Let's retreat to the city to defend. Guangliang City is so important. It is the garrison for the rebel army. You must not take it or lose it!"
The rebels also had steam weapons. Although they were not sure, stray bullets flew around on the battlefield. Just now, bullets shot from a few meters away from them.
The two town legions commanders were so scared that their legs were weak, fearing that a blind bullet would hit him.
The tone of talking to Qiu Fuyuan at this moment was almost begging!
"No, we can't retreat now. We can't hurt the enemy during the day. Guangliang City doesn't need to defend!"
Qiu Fuyuan bit his jaw tightly, and now he looked over from the side and looked like his muscles.
"Our Guangliang City has a city wall and an army. We can block the Balance Army during the day, so why can't we stop it at night?"
One of the leaders of the group was puzzled. He didn't think Qiu Fuyuan would lie to him on this.
Qiu Fuyuan sneered and said, "Don't forget, what did the Tianping Sect start with?
You all know that the army outside is a mob? How can the people of the Tianping Sect not know? Since they dare to use mobs to attack my Guangliang City, are they tired of living and sent to death for nothing?
Don’t forget, how were so many cities in the southwestern states captured by the Taiping Cult?”
Although these two commanders wanted to hide back behind the solid city wall immediately to find a sense of security.
However, Qiu Fuyuan's words had to calm down and think.
What the Falcon Sect is best at is not the army, but various evil techniques.
They have always used evil techniques to break through the city god who wanted to attack the city, open the ghost prison, and disrupt the city.
Yin and Yang are connected in the two lives, Yin and Yang are in chaos, and the ruling order in the Yang world will also be chaotic. At this time, the Tianping Sect can easily seize the city.
And now, if they want to attack Guangliangcheng, it is impossible for them to use this move!
Thinking of this, a commander of the town legion realized it and changed his expression without realizing it. He said in a panic: "No, the City God Ghost Prison is in danger."
But he heard him say anxiously: "Captain Qiu, it's going to be dark soon. The Netherworld City God will definitely be attacked. What should we do?"
Qiu Fuyuan sighed heavily. There were many masters of Tianping Sect, and dozens of City God Ghost Prisons were opened, and hundreds of thousands of army of evil ghosts were gathered under his command.
How can he deal with it?
It is only possible to take advantage of the day to kill as many Farity Cultists as possible.
Waiting for the subsequent imperial army to suppress the rebellion, there will naturally be masters to suppress the evil spirits.
He has no choice but to do anything else!
