Chapter 444 Capture of Daqingyuan City
Although the development of new technology is important, Huang Xiaohu knows that without a large city as a foundation, without sufficient manpower and material resources, there will be no chance of development, so the most important thing now is to lay down Qingyuan City.

Huang Xiaohu went to Qingyuan City, so he knows that Qingyuan City is really grand and magnificent, and it has a large population. It is definitely a very important strategic center. As long as Qingyuan City is captured, the shortage of manpower and Insufficient military resources are two major problems.

After waiting in Shouchun City for five days, Huang Xiaohu finally waited for the reinforcements led by Gu Quan to arrive.

After Luo Hongfan received the letter from Huang Xiaohu Feige, he immediately dispatched manpower according to Huang Xiaohu's instructions, and immediately notified Gu Quan to lead the army to Shouchun for reinforcements.

Gu Quan brought [-] soldiers and horses this time, and almost mobilized most of the troops from the three cities of the Dragon Society, and there were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the barracks, and all the elite main forces were mobilized.

Among Gu Quan's [-] soldiers, about [-] were surrendered, but they had already been mixed into various groups and brigades, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

With [-] soldiers and horses to assist in the battle, Huang Xiaohu also had the confidence to capture Qingyuan City in one fell swoop.

After resting for a day, Huang Xiaohu left Gu Quan to guard Shouchun, asked Ji Wu to lead [-] soldiers, and himself led [-] soldiers to Qingyuan City to join the previous battalion.

Two days later, Huang Xiaohu and Ji Wu's army successfully reunited with more than 2000 soldiers in the lead, and held a meeting of regiment-level generals overnight to discuss matters concerning the siege of the city.

Huang Xiaohu said: "This time we have [-] soldiers against [-] defenders. It seems that we are weak, but the [-] soldiers need to be stationed in the whole city, so the actual north gate defenders are only more than [-] people, so I decided to According to the previous plan to attack the city, I wonder if you have any objections?"

The regiment leaders were silent, so Huang Xiaohu continued: "The whole army will rest for a day. Tomorrow night, several groups of soldiers will sneak into the city. When the gate is opened, we will rush into the city with all our strength. But still That sentence, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, especially don't hurt civilians, understand?"

All the group leaders expressed that they must abide by Huang Xiaohu's order.

At the end of the meeting, Huang Xiaohu left Ji Wu behind and said, "Tomorrow night I will sneak into the city myself. I will be responsible for opening the city gate, and you will be responsible for leading people to rush in. You must pay attention to your own safety."

Ji Wu said: "Don't worry, they shouldn't be able to hurt me. But I'm worried that after you sneak in, what will you do in the face of so many people?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "So we must act quickly. I will open the city gate as soon as possible, and you must rush in as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer the delay, the more dangerous I will be."

Ji Wu said: "As soon as the city gate opens, I will be the first to rush in."

Huang Xiaohu finally confessed specifically: "Ji Wu, don't kill the soldiers when you surrender, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately, do you understand?"

Ji Wu nodded and said, "I already know what to do, don't worry."

After resting for a day, Huang Xiaohu learned that the voles had dug through three secret tunnels, so he ordered to organize three action teams, each group of 20 people, led by Huang Xiaohu himself, put on the clothes of the Taiping Army, and entered through the secret tunnel overnight. , the purpose is to open the gate of the north gate.

That night, Huang Xiaohu led three groups of people to sneak in through the secret tunnel and successfully sneaked into the city.

Although Huang Xiaohu and the others had already been noticed by the defenders when they approached the north gate, at this time Huang Xiaohu ordered to open the city gate immediately, blocking dozens of Taiping defenders by himself.

All went well, and the city gate was finally opened.

When Ji Wu saw that the city gate was opened, she immediately led the army to charge there.

Dozens of Huang Xiaohu and his team guarded the city gate, and fought bloody battles with the Taiping army for a while, until Ji Wu's army arrived, and the Taiping army could not close the north gate.

Ji Wu's army swarmed in, and the night attack on Qingyuan City was already half successful.

Although there were more than 5000 defenders in Qingyuan City, there were only about [-] people stationed near the north gate, and only a few thousand people were on duty at night, so Huang Xiaohu's army actually had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

When the Lord General of Qingyuan City realized that the enemy had entered the city, it was too late to dispatch the army to the north gate for reinforcements.

In addition, the two main generals, Huang Xiaohu and Ji Wu, are basically the kind of BUG-level characters that no one can stop, so the soldiers under him are also confident and courageous. They followed the two main generals and killed them all the way, only killing the Taiping Army. Abandoned Armor was in a panic.

The stubborn Taiping Army basically had a dead end, and Huang Xiaohu had ordered a special team to shout the slogan "Surrender is not dead", so many Taiping Army soldiers could only kneel down and surrender when they saw that they could not resist.

Huang Xiaohu's army entered the street fighting, but they didn't encounter any organized resistance at all. It turned out that Master Zhang had to escape from the south gate with his family members in a hurry, seeing that Qingyuan City was in danger, and escorted them away. The most important ones are the generals of the Taiping Army and nearly [-] Taiping Army troops.

When Huang Xiaohu arrived at Mr. Zhang's mansion, it was in a mess and empty. It seemed that they had all fled out taking advantage of the chaos. Even Shi Ximei probably escaped with Mr. Zhang, which made Huang Xiaohu feel I have some little regrets.

After a night of fierce fighting, the sky gradually became brighter. Huang Xiaohu's army basically controlled Qingyuan City, but there was still a small group of remnants of the Taiping Army resisting, but the ending of Qingyuan City's capture could not be changed.

Huang Xiaohu asked Ji Wu to lead the army to clean up the remnants of the Taiping Army in the whole city for a day, and finally completely controlled Qingyuan City, and directly captured thousands of people in the men's camp in Qingyuan City. It is to really train soldiers who have just joined the Taiping Army.

After the capture of Qingyuan City, Huang Xiaohu asked Ji Wu to lead a thousand soldiers to welcome Zhao Yali, Zhang Yalan and the little Yellow Emperor into the city. In addition, Fei Ge sent a letter to Luo Hongfan and Huang Zixuan, ordering Luo Hongfan to settle down in Panlong County as soon as possible. , and took his family to Qingyuan City to take up his post.

After taking down Qingyuan City, Huang Xiaohu ordered an inventory of the battlefield, granaries, and weapon and equipment warehouses. As a result, two days later, Huang Xiaohu was overjoyed with the results of the inventory.

When the Taiping Army fled Qingyuan City, the food and weapons they had no time to take away could arm tens of thousands of people, and the remaining food could sustain an army of tens of thousands of people for a year.

Huang Xiaohu had long ago ordered the Panlong County area to plant a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes, so there would be a harvest soon. Coupled with the food seized now, the problem of food for the army has definitely been solved.

Huang Xiaohu also ordered an inventory of the existing population of Qingyuan City, and strictly prohibited harassment or infringement of civilians, so most of the civilians were relatively calm, and there was no phenomenon of civilians fleeing in large numbers.

In the Battle of Qingyuan City, Huang Xiaohu's army lost more than [-] people, but they captured thousands of new Taiping Army soldiers, and with the addition of thousands of Taiping Army soldiers who surrendered, in fact, in a strict sense, the power did not fall but rose. Even the number of soldiers and generals directly reached [-].

It's just how to control and deal with these surrendered soldiers, but Huang Xiaohu also had a lot of troubles, which hurt a lot of brains.

After taking down Qingyuan City, Huang Xiaohu also realized that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would definitely not let it go, but at this time, the Tianjing Incident had just happened, and the main force of the Eastern King's Jiubu and Shi Dakai had just fought against the Northern King Wei Changhui, so their vitality was seriously injured.

Moreover, Shi Dakai had already left Tianjing and went to Jiangxi. Several of his generals were still busy dealing with the Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers, so Huang Xiaohu had no time to take care of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for the time being.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had no time to take care of it, and it just gave Huang Xiaohu time to catch his breath. At least he had just conquered Qingyuan City, a big city, and he had a lot of things to do, and they were all things that could not be delayed.

Qingyuan City needs experienced people to preside over government affairs and manage the city's affairs, so Huang Xiaohu's idea is to call Luo Hongfan and Huang Zixuan together, and let them bring some management systems and development models of Panlong County to Qingyuan City, so that Once Huang Xiaohu came here, he no longer had to worry about the future development of Qingyuan City.

In addition, a large number of surrendered soldiers need to be scattered and organized into the army, so Huang Xiaohu planned to let Gu Quan be in charge of this matter, and appointed a new person named Wang Zhuo as the general to be responsible for the personnel coordination and arrangement of the army.

This man named Wang Zhuo followed Huang Xiaohu all the time, beating up Shouchun and Qingyuan, and every time Huang Xiaohu was away, it was Wang Zhuo who was in charge of military affairs, so Huang Xiaohu trusted him a lot.

Everything has been arranged and planned, but it will take some time. After all, Luo Hongfan and Huang Zixuan need to properly handle the back-and-forth work, and Luo Hongfan has to choose a new person to take over his position, so it will take some time.

A few days later, Ji Wu brought Zhao Yali, Zhang Yalan, and Little Yellow Emperor to Qingyuan City. At this time, Huang Xiaohu had already cleaned up Master Zhang's mansion and arranged for Zhao Yali and the others to move in.

Mr. Zhang's mansion has a vast area, majestic buildings, lakes, pavilions, and even a rockery in the garden. Compared with the mansions of Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan in Panlong County, it is nothing less than that, so Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan fell in love with this new house soon after they moved in.

Huang Xiaohu dispatched more than 100 female imperial guards to the mansion to be responsible for the security of Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan. He also specially selected a dozen wolf dogs and handed them over to the little Yellow Emperor to take charge of the security inspection of the mansion.In addition, Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan each have a fierce tiger to accompany them, so no one would dare to approach them when they travel on weekdays.

After repairing for more than ten days, Gu Quan had organized the surrendered troops into the new army, and returned to the barracks with [-] soldiers and horses, and the remaining [-] people were handed over to Wang Zhuo's command.

When Gu Quan went back this time, in addition to replenishing the barracks, Gu Quan himself would also return to Qinglong City to resume his post, so before leaving, Huang Xiaohu specifically explained to Gu Quan: "When the Qing army comes, don't force it. Inform me, and then strictly guard the city. If you can't hold it, then you must preserve your strength and push it to Panlong County."

Gu Quan said: "Obey, please rest assured, President, Gu Quan will definitely live up to the expectations of the President."

After Gu Quan led the army away, Huang Xiaohu received a letter from Luo Hongfan, saying that he had basically made arrangements and was going to leave for Qingyuan City to take up his post in two days.
