Chapter 518 Battle of Tianjing, the war is about to begin!
With Wang Meng and others settling in Spring Valley County, it means that the last barrier of Tianjing City, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has collapsed!
"This battle should be remembered as the first contribution of General Ao Mo'ang and General Peng Mo Wang. Without the assistance of these two generals, how could our army have taken down this strong city in Chungu County so easily? After the Guo Wei Rebellion was quelled, we will
Wang Jinglue is determined to report today’s events to his lord, and the reward he deserves will definitely include these two generals!”
Listening to Wang Meng's sworn words, Ao Mo'ang and Peng Demon King blushed, saying polite words and words of gratitude, but they felt happy in their hearts.
As a general, what is the purpose of fighting bloody battles on the battlefield? Isn't it just to achieve success and achieve fame?
"Then we would like to thank Mr. Jinglue here!"
After Ao Moang and Demon King Peng bowed extremely politely, Wang Meng changed the topic with a smile and began to talk about how to attack Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
It won't be long before the fall of Chungu County reaches the ears of the puppet emperor Guo Wei of Tianjing City. At that time, Guo Wei will inevitably mobilize troops from all directions to defend the capital in order to protect himself. More than 100,000 troops will be stationed in Tianjing City. Even if Yuan Shu's army is here
Even with the help of four powerful generals, it would be difficult to capture this impregnable city in a short time.
"Tianjing City is the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. When Hong Xiuquan became emperor, this place was very well repaired. When Guo Wei came to power later, he paid great attention to the defense facilities of Tianjing City and sent craftsmen to repair it every ten days.
The city wall of the capital continues to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. The Tianjing City we are about to attack now can be said to be the most powerful pass in the world, and its strength is even as strong as the Hulao Pass that the Lord is currently attacking!"
Listening to Wang Meng's analysis, the generals in the military tent frowned. Tianjing City was impregnable, and there were more than 100,000 troops defending it. If we attacked rashly, we would only end up with heavy casualties, even after paying a huge price.
After paying the price, it may not be able to hurt the enemy at all.
"General Wang Meng, a few days ago I sent a letter to General Pei, who is guarding Yuzhou. He bluntly said that he would send an army of 50,000 people to help in the battle. It is estimated that they will arrive in Spring Valley County in the next few days!"
"General Tang Mao from Kuaiji County also sent an army of 10,000 people to help out, and then there will be an army of 10,000 people from Runan, all arriving in Spring Valley County in the past few days!"
Listening to the reports from his subordinates, Wang Meng, the commander-in-chief of the army, looked serious, and his mind was racing. In this attack on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his own army had lost nearly 20,000 people, and now there are still 10,000 troops left.
There are about 5,000 people. If you add the 20,000 people under Ao Moang and Peng Demon King, plus the 20,000 people supported by General Pei, as well as 10,000 people from Runan and the old General Tang Mao from Kuaiji County.
With the support of 10,000 people, a total of about 75,000 troops will be stationed here in Chungu County.
With 75,000 people fighting against the 150,000 troops in Tianjing City of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is really difficult to achieve a 1-2 record in a siege!
"Now that we are approaching Tianjing City, no matter what price we will pay next, even if we sacrifice all the secret lines lurking inside Tianjing City, we must capture Tianjing, destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and kill the false emperor Guo Wei
!”
Wang Meng's words clearly stated his attitude, which shocked all the generals present. Now that the generals have spoken, the next battle in Tianjing City will be predictably brutal, and the strength among them
The weaker soldiers should be more careful, otherwise they will fall into this battle if they are not careful.
"General Wang Meng! Hong Rengan, the Prime Minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has been in close contact with us recently. He seems to be thinking of surrendering. These are the letters he has written. Please take a look at them."
Haidong Lai of the underworld organization ordered his subordinate Buihu to present a large stack of paper envelopes. These envelopes had not been opened. After seeing so many letters, Wang Meng hesitated for a moment, and then asked Buihu to hand over the envelopes.
Bring these letters up!
"The death of Hong Rengan, Prime Minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan had a great impact on him. Now he should hold a grudge against the puppet emperor Guo Wei. We will inevitably not be able to cooperate with him. If Hong Rengan can be allowed to control part of the military power, we will
In the Battle of Tianjing, the pressure endured will also be less."
Wang Meng, the commander-in-chief of the operation, opened all the envelopes in his hand while analyzing, and then he quickly scanned the envelopes at a glance. After browsing all the envelopes, his face turned red, and he laughed excitedly to the sky, and then loudly told everyone present.
The general said: "Hong Rengan intends to surrender. Now he has won over dozens of officials in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Among them, those who hold military power include Lin Fengxiang, Tan Shaoguang, Huang Wenjin, Huang Chengzhong, Liang Fengchao, Zeng Lichang, Huang Hejin, Tan Tiyuan, Lan Dashun,
Liu Xiaolin, Huang Longyun... these officials are all well-known heroes in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"
"Mr. Jinglue, are the words of Hong Rengan credible? We both know the generals mentioned in his letter. They are all capable of conquering and fighting. They are the mainstay of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is extremely normal for Guo Wei to give him military power!"
Seeing Ao Moang's worried look, Wang Meng waved his hand, and then laughed loudly and said: "It doesn't matter, most of the people in the letter are secret agents of our army. The reason why Hong Rengan was able to win over them was because of my orders.
It’s an order.”
Hearing these words, Ao Moang and Peng Mowang opened their eyes in surprise. These are the mainstays of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but they have become Yuan Jun's hidden line without knowing it. If this war really breaks out,
Guo Wei's fellow is afraid that he will be completely destroyed.
Once the Battle of Tianjing breaks out, at least 30,000 troops within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will mutiny, and Wang Meng and the others will be able to destroy nearly one-third of the enemy's army without any effort. They can weaken the enemy with just words.
The strength of the enemy, why not?
"General Wang Meng is truly a god, Ao Moang admires him! (Peng Demon King admires him!)"
"Hong Rengan said in the letter that Guo Wei will take the initiative to attack our army in a week. We must win the first battle in order to frighten the enemy and boost the morale of the entire army."
After saying this, Wang Meng stood up from his seat with a serious expression, then pulled out a sharp sword from his waist, summoned Lian Po and Su Lie, and asked them to each lead an army of thirty thousand people, and then summoned Jiao Demon King and Xiong Kuohai.
They were ordered to serve as Su Lie's lieutenants, Ao Mo'ang and Baiyan Demon Lord, Lu Junyi, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu were appointed to serve as Lian Po's lieutenants. As for Peng Demon King, he was asked to lead five thousand light cavalry to Shizi Gang to completely block the enemy.
The way the dead puppet emperor Guo Wei went south.
As for the remaining 10,000 people in the army, they will be led by Wang Meng himself. He will lead the three brothers Lai Hu'er, Pihan, and Xin Wenli to detour to Liyang and block the puppet emperor Guo Wei's way north!
"After hearing the order, all the officers and soldiers in the army immediately mobilized their troops and prepared their troops. After a week, the name of our army will be announced. I will make the thieves of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fearful when they hear the name of our army!"
