Chapter 668 Encircling Mingjiang City

When Jinghua's entire system received a high-level pragmatic order to speed up its operation, something happened in Guangxi.

When Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling led about [-] troops to Mingjiang City, the civil strife in Siming Prefecture had just settled. Mrs. Cen captured and cut her in half on the spot, frightening the whole city with incomparably cruel means, and the whole Mingjiang city was shrouded in his lust.

Huang Enlong's youngest son, Huang Shiting, wanted to escape from Mingjiang City with the help of several servants loyal to Mrs. Cen, but was caught by Huang Gongsheng's elite wolf soldiers. No one can threaten his position anymore.

However, when Huang Gongsheng ordered people to write the official document and prepare to send it to Guilin, Huang Zhiting's army marched outside Mingjiang City at dawn. After calling the city unsuccessfully, Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling knew that Mingjiang City had changed hands.

The worst has finally happened...

According to Cen Ling, Huang Gongsheng's foothold is not stable at this time, and it is the time to seize the city in one fell swoop. However, Huang Zhiting has been persuaded by Gao Yushi, and she came here overnight, no matter how elite the wolf soldiers are, she is not suitable for this. It was time to attack the city, not to mention that there were no siege equipment, so he decided to besiege the city and wait for the imperial order.

Huang Zhiting's army went forward to write a letter, sending people to Liuzhou Mansion and Guilin Mansion once, and then camped and besieged, just waiting for the reply from the two courts.

Five days later, Nanning Mansion, which received the high-level executive document in advance, took action and began to mobilize the troops of the Nanning Guards and Nanning's various ministries and squads.

On another three days, Wang Shangwen, the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi patrol, Wang Baiyu, the commander of the capital of Guangxi, Ni Zhonghua, the right guard of Liu Qing, Li Yingxiang, the guard of Si'en, and Zhu Xian, the guerrilla of Pennsylvania, were sent to the army. Zhang Renzhi, the governor of Guangxi, ordered to go south to deal with the change in Siming Prefecture.

Gao Yushi supervised the army as a patrol censor, and controlled the army on behalf of the governor Zhang Ren who was seriously ill and could not make the trip.

This time going south, Gao Yushi used a sledgehammer to kill chickens. The Guilin Zuowei and Guilin Youwei each mobilized more than a thousand people, the Guilin squadron mobilized more than a thousand people, and the remaining Liuzhou, Pingle, Xunjiang and other prefectures each mobilized wolf squads There are more than a thousand soldiers in the army, and they will join the soldiers and horses that have been concentrated in Nanning, a total of [-] troops, and drive to Siming Prefecture with the momentum of Mount Tai.

In fact, 1 horses is not too much for the style of sending troops by the imperial court, but Gao Pragmatic doesn't like to use guard soldiers to make up the number. This time, apart from the troops from the left and right guards of Guilin sent by Zhang Ren, he is a guard soldier. None of them were recruited, and all of them used squad troops.

So this army is said to be 2000, but it is basically a field army. Even the more than [-] people in the left and right guards in Guilin are all troops that have been baptized in the Guangxi pacification war for more than ten years, at least in the guards. The soldiers are completely worthy of the word elite.

Although theoretically speaking, Wang Shangwen, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi with the official rank of the governor, is a second-rank official (the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty was dispatched, and there was no rank, and the rank was determined by the former governor), but the high-level pragmatism is both Supervising the army also acts as the governor's power of restraint, so this army is actually highly pragmatic and has the final say.

But Gao Wushi knows his own level, let alone commanding 1000 troops, he doesn’t know if he can command [-] people, so the actual command is still handed over to Wang Shangwen and other generals. He himself just told them about Strategy.

When Wang Shangwen heard Gao Wushi tell him, "This is not to interfere with your specific instructions", he was almost moved to tears.

When he was under Liu Yaohui, Liu Yaohui wanted to command him, and when he was under Zhang Ren's command, Zhang Ren wanted to command him. This time, Gao Wushi not only supervised the army, but also controlled the army on Zhang Ren's behalf. He has already done a good job. Mentally prepared to give Gao Wushi a blind command, who knew that Gao Wushi actually made it clear that he would not interfere with his command, which really flattered him.

However, the command belongs to the command. During the military discussion, Gao Yushi unceremoniously took the lead.Naturally, Wang Shangwen didn't dare to compete with Gao Yushi, who was born as the number one scholar in the Six Scholars, and sat obediently next to him.

"The situation in Siming Prefecture has been explained in many letters from the Siming Mansion. The rebel forces in Mingjiang City are not large. Except for the five hundred wolf soldiers brought by Huang Gongsheng, there were only about one thousand soldiers before. The number of people may be around [-], and with the addition of Huang Gongsheng's headquarters, it will not exceed [-].

In terms of military strength, our army has a great advantage. Not only does it have an elite army of 1 people, but Nanning and Taiping have also prepared civil servants. Xinning Prefecture, Jiangzhou and other places along the way will also coordinate some necessary arrangements. , everything is ready.In addition, the Siming Mansion itself has mobilized [-] wolf soldiers, and it is said that it has also sent people to contact the surrounding states such as Shangshi Xizhou and Xiashi Xizhou to send troops. If all of them are mobilized, we can have [-] troops ...

To be honest, it is impossible to lose this battle, so what we have to do now is to win Siming Prefecture as quickly as possible while avoiding heavy casualties as much as possible, and shock the entire south of Guangxi. "

As expected, Gao Wushi did not intervene in the command, but only expressed his own strategy, so he stopped talking, but signaled Wang Shangwen to open his mouth to arrange military affairs.

Wang Shangwen's spirit was lifted, but if he thought about it carefully, if he planned to follow the idea of ​​Gao Pressing Taiwan, then there was a high probability that the left and right guards of Guilin and the Han army squadron would lead the formation, and the wolf soldiers would come forward to fight.

Because Wang Shangwen's understanding of "avoiding heavy casualties" is wrong with what he actually wanted to express. In Wang Shangwen's view, this avoidance must mean avoiding casualties of the Han army. As for whether the chieftain wolf soldiers suffered heavy casualties, he is He didn't care much, and he thought that Gao Pragmatism wouldn't care either.

He coughed lightly, looked around at the generals, and said: "Our army is here, and Mount Tai is on the top. I have already said it on the platform, so I won't say more. As for the specific deployment, since Mingjiang City is built on the back of the Mingjiang River, The north side will be in charge of the Guilin Guard led by the Wangdu Division, and the Chinese Army will also stand on the north side.

In the east, Zhu Guerrilla's headquarters and the Xunjiang Squad Army are in charge, in the west, Li Can's General Headquarters and Pingle Squad Army are in charge, and in the south, the Siming Mansion itself is in charge, as the main force to attack Siming Prefecture. "

Then he turned his head and asked Gao Yushi: "Press the table, do you think this arrangement is okay?"

It is not very clear whether it is appropriate or not, but even with his level, it can be seen that Wang Shangwen is obviously saving his strength, and almost all the real attack tasks are handed over to Huang Zhiting.Unless Huang Gongsheng's entire army in Mingjiang City breaks through the siege, instead of taking the southern route, he will go east and west, otherwise the imperial army will probably not fight Huang Gongsheng at all.

As for the North Road Central Army where he is highly pragmatic, because of the Mingjiang River blocking, there is no such thing as a navy. Unless Huang Gongsheng can fly over, he is destined to come to watch the battle.

However, this line of thinking may be the usual method used by the court officers and soldiers. Gao Yushi just handed over the command to Wang Shangwen, and he couldn't object for a while, so he said: "Here on the North Road, mobilize some cannons for the wolf soldiers of the Siming Mansion. help in the battle, and follow Wang Zongrong's instructions for the rest."
