Late Ming Dynasty: Infinite Violent Soldiers

　　But once Shanxi was let out, they would have to hold the Guanzhong in the Dashun army.

　　Guanzhong, thousands of years ago, was a good place, the land of kings! But now, the situation is different! If Shanxi is lost, it means that the Dashun army guarding Guanzhong has lost its stronghold in Hedong.

　　In addition, the army of Dayan is strong, while the army of Dashun is weak, which means that the army of Dashun will never want to enter Hedong!

　　What is even more terrifying is that even if the Dashun Army retreats to the pass, it does not mean that they can be foolproof! The times have already changed! In the era of always a large number of guns and artillery, the indestructible and unbreakable passes in the past are also It is no longer difficult to break through! If I had known that the artillery of the Great Flame Army was strong, Dashun would not have a general who dared to say that he could defend the onslaught of the Great Flame Army! What is even more terrifying is that once the Great Flame Army is in the army.

　　Then where can the Dashun army go! They can't go in the three directions of the north, south, east, and west! However, in the west of Guanzhong, as Li Zicheng said, go to eat sand! Dashun, there is no way out! Thinking of this, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Dashun court were drenched in cold sweat and had extremely heart palpitations.

　　At this moment, they realized the seriousness! Dashun, it seems that the sun is really dying, and there is no way out! The strategic space, the living space, has been squeezed by the Dayan army step by step, and the squeeze is about to die! "Your Majesty, the only plan now is to quickly deploy troops, shrink the defense line, concentrate troops, and fight the Great Yan Army!"

　　Dashun Prime Minister Niu Jinxing said with a solemn expression.

　　Li Zicheng's face turned straight and he waved his hand: "Speak!"

　　Niu Jinxing nodded: "My Dashun Army is across the Taihang Mountains, facing Dayan's Xuanwu Army across the mountain.

　　Because of the Taihang Mountains, the Xuanwu Corps of the Great Yan Army is not willing to fight us here!"

　　"Thus, it seems that the Great Yan Army has dispatched two major legions. In fact, the Great Yan Army has only dispatched one legion, and that is the White Tiger Legion that is attacking my Dashun Prefecture in the south!"

　　"The Xuanwu Legion needs to deploy a large number of troops on the defense line of the Great Wall to strictly guard against the attacks of the Mongolians and the Manchu Tatars. Therefore, the Xuanwu Legion seems to be facing off against my Dashun, but in fact, it can't draw much troops. Its real intention is to use A small number of Xuanwu Corps forces contain hundreds of thousands of troops in my Taihang Mountains!"

　　"I want to let me, Dashun, be empty and have no extra troops to support the various battlefields in the south!"

　　Li Zicheng nodded and said with admiration: "Go on!"

　　Niu Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued: "Although there is only one White Tiger Army attacking, the White Tiger Army has nearly [-] troops, which is not something I can shake!"

　　"So Wei Chen suggested to give up some unnecessary Fuzhou, withdraw the Fuzhou defenders, garrison various strategic points, guard against death, concentrate troops, and fight a defensive battle!"

　　"The battle in Shanxi is a matter of life and death for me, Dashun!"

　　"In this battle, all the soldiers of my Dashun Army must do their best!!"

　　Li Zicheng frowned slightly, although what Niu Jinxing said was very reasonable, his proposal was also to abandon unnecessary city strongholds and focus on defending various strategic points and key cities, so as to achieve the purpose of concentrating troops.

　　And being able to do this means that the entire Shanxi has to give up more than half.

　　Do your best to defend Taiyuan House and several state capitals around Taiyuan House.

　　Around Taiyuan Mansion, fight a battle to defend Shanxi! This is the truth, but Li Zicheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard that he would lose his territory and abandon the city.

　　An evil fire rushed up! I was extremely angry in my heart! However, this anger was not towards the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs under his command, but towards Dayan, towards Dayan's Lin Feng! Today's Li Zicheng is simply hated. Lin Feng! Because of Lin Feng, he lost all face and almost became a joke in the world.

　　Because of Lin Feng, he fled once again, lost the city and lost his land! Because Dayan was pressing step by step, he actually forced him to the cliff, and there was no way to retreat! Because of Lin Feng, he didn't even have time to take a breath! Thinking of this , Li Zicheng almost jumped his feet in anger, he was going crazy! He Li Zicheng is also a self-proclaimed emperor, and he is also a big man who destroyed the Ming Dynasty! How can he suffer such humiliation and oppression! How could he bear Da Yan's bullying! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

　　In the end, Li Zicheng almost roared angrily: "Prime Minister Niu, just do as you said, give up all unnecessary state capitals, focus on defense, concentrate troops, and build a line of defense around Taiyuan Palace!"

　　"I want to lead my Dashun army, and I will never die with Dayan, and fight to the end!!"

　　Li Zicheng dared to say that he would fight to the end with Dayan, except that he was forced to the edge of the cliff and had no way to retreat, and he was mad, but also that the south of Taiyuan Mansion was full of mountains and mountains.

　　Most of the entire southern Jin is mountainous.

　　Instead of the Great Plains like Beizhili, a horse and plain.

　　This kind of terrain can reduce a lot of the power of the Dayan Army's guns and artillery! And this is also the confidence that the Dashun Army can fight against the Dayan Army in a defensive battle.

Chapter [-] Lian Ke two houses

　　Shanxi, Lu'an House.

　　The 9th Field Division led nine [-] guards and [-] peasants, nearly a hundred thousand troops from the Northern Route Army, starting from Zhangde Mansion, and launched an attack on Lu'an Mansion, Shanxi, in the northwest.

　　All the way, after the encounter in Zhangde Mansion, after they entered Lu'an Mansion, the defenders of Lu'an Mansion of Dashun Army hardly had much fighting spirit to speak of.

　　In particular, the defenders of the various prefectures and counties below the Lu'an Mansion immediately became chaotic when they saw the appearance of the army of the White Tiger Army.

　　The artillerymen stepped forward, set up artillery positions, and fired a few shots at the city wall, but the city wall still hadn't collapsed! The Dashun defenders in these prefectures and counties began to collapse. No matter how they fought, they all abandoned the city and fled under the leadership of the garrison general.

　　So much so that the North Road of the White Tiger Army, the army of more than [-] people, has been placed on the receiving site for almost half of the time.

　　The Great Yan Army is different from other forces. It takes over the territory, but it's not... just send troops to garrison casually.

　　Instead, it still retains the phalanx of occupying a place and controlling a place.

　　Very patiently judged the gentry in the whole city, confiscated the land of the gentry and big landlords, and cleaned up all the resistance forces and enemies of resistance.

　　At the same time, it is necessary to control all the resources of a place and invest a lot of resources in construction.

　　Even if every state or county is occupied, a garrison force will be invested.

　　But it still took a lot of time.

　　By the time the commander of the ninth field division led the army to reach the city of Lu'an, seven or eight days had passed.

　　This is also the disadvantage of dividing troops! If there are fewer troops, the speed of occupying the territory will not be so fast.

　　Because we can't attack everywhere! And each state capital, with so many subordinate states and counties, needs to send troops to garrison and control them.

　　In the city of Lu'an, the city gates were closed, and no one could be seen on the city walls.

　　People don't know what's going on inside.

　　Even if a cavalry scout is dispatched, it is impossible to enter the city.

　　For a time, the army stopped outside Lu'an City.

　　"Master, it seems that Lu'an Mansion City has also been abandoned by the Dashun Army!!"

　　"Dashun Army, they are trying to concentrate their forces!"

　　The chief of staff on the side frowned slightly, looking at Lu'an Mansion City, and said to the commander of the ninth field division.

　　The commander of the ninth field division took a look and agreed with the chief of staff.

　　Along the way, the troops of the various prefectures and counties of Lu'an Prefecture, rout and rout, fleeing and fleeing, and many of them even directly abandoned the city and defended.

　　As for the peripheral defense line and even the core defense line of Lu'an City, they did not see Dashun's defenders defending stubbornly.

　　It can be seen that the defenders of Lu'an Palace City have no intention of defending Lu'an Palace City.

　　Abandoning the prefectures one after another means that the purpose is to shrink the defense line, exchange space for time, adjust the force, concentrate the force, and establish a large-scale defense line! As for the entire army of Dashun, it will definitely not be the abandonment of Shanxi. If so, I am afraid that the entire Dashun army will run wild like sheep and flee to Pingyangfu in the west, cross the Yellow River, and flee to Guanzhong, Shaanxi.

　　"Report!!!"

　　"The division commander, our cavalry scouts found a large number of Lu'an House and Dashun Army Fuzhou defenders who had withdrawn from Zhangde House. They are fleeing north, and their destination is Liaozhou!"

　　A cavalry scout came galloping on a war horse, kicking and rushing, reporting.

　　"Liaozhou!"

　　The commander of the ninth field division frowned when he heard the words, then with a stunned expression, he nodded with the chief of staff: "It seems that we guessed right,

　　The Dashun Army is going to shrink its forces, focus on defense, concentrate its forces, and stick to Shanxi!!"

　　Liaozhou is located in the southeast corner of Taiyuan Prefecture, and its geographical environment is extremely important.

　　More importantly, Liaozhou is within the Taihang Mountains! It can be said that Liaozhou is an important support point for the Dashun Army to be heavily guarded! Now the defenders of Zhangde House and Lu'an House have withdrawn to Liaozhou one after another. , It is conceivable that the Dashun Army wanted to defend Liaozhou, and now Liaozhou and the White Tiger Army are fighting a big battle.

　　However, when the Dashun Army wanted to fight the White Tiger Army, the commander of the ninth division didn't care, he just waved his hand and said, "Take the city of Lu'an and occupy the entire territory of Lu'an as quickly as possible!"

　　"Then, send this news back to the legion headquarters and let the legion commander decide!"

　　With a single order, the army rushed towards Lu'an Palace City. The Lu'an Palace City, which was almost empty, was almost easily captured by the White Tiger Legion who could stop it like a wolf like a tiger.

　　After occupying the city of Lu'an, the Northern Route Army of the White Tiger Corps began to divide their troops and dispatched various guards under their command to attack the subordinate states and counties of Lu'an.

　　Under the circumstance that the defenders of Lu'an Mansion did not have much resistance at all, they easily occupied Lu'an Mansion.

　　On the other side, the Central Route Army led by the [-]rd Field Division of the White Tiger Army, like the Northern Route Army, hardly encountered much resistance. At the same time, it was discovered that the Zezhou defenders were withdrawing from Zezhou and Pingyang.

　　The Dashun Army seems to be abandoning the outer state capital, and is trying to shrink and concentrate its forces, wanting to fight a defensive battle with the White Tiger Army.

　　The Central Route Army led by the [-]rd Field Division did not care so much. The Dashun Army gave up defending the city, let Zezhou come out, and occupied it with him! These prefectures, perhaps for the Dashun Army, it is not important.

　　But for the White Tiger Corps of the Great Yan Army, it was very important.

　　If you don't take these state capitals, how can you open the channel to attack the Dashun Army! Zhangde House, the headquarters of the White Tiger Army.

　　"Report!!"

　　"Legion Commander, good news from the front line!!"

　　"The Northern Route Army has captured Lu'an Mansion and occupied the entire territory of Lu'an Mansion!!"

　　"The Central Route Army took Zezhou and occupied the entire territory of Zezhou!!"

　　"At the same time, the front-line information has come from the two armies. The Dashun Army is shrinking its forces. It seems that they want to concentrate their forces and fight a defensive battle with my White Tiger Army!!"

　　"I want to rely on the mountainous terrain of central and southern Shanxi to start a decisive battle with my White Tiger Army!!"

　　The messenger hurriedly broke into the headquarters and reported the good news to the army commander, Qiu Sheng.

　　Qiu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately placed the flaming golden dragon flag on the sand table, representing the location of Lu'an House and Zezhou, and rubbed his palms and laughed: "Okay, occupy the land of the two houses again!!"

　　After he finished speaking, he asked the chief of staff of the White Tiger Legion beside him: "The Dashun Army has made every effort to shrink its lines and concentrate its forces. What do you think!"

　　The chief of staff of the White Tiger Army smiled and said indifferently: "What the Dashun Army thinks, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that no matter what the Dashun Army does, we all have the right to crush them and swept them down. Strength!"

　　When Qiu Sheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I'm different, I can't wait to have a battle with Li Zicheng's Dashun Army!! The site has been fully taken over, what's the point of it!"

　　"Concentrate your forces and resolutely defend Shanxi!"

　　"Okay, Li Zicheng is finally hard-hearted!!"

　　"Then let our White Tiger Army teach him a lesson and let him know that our White Tiger Army is no weaker than the Xuanwu Army!!"

Chapter [-] The dying gentleman of Weihui House

　　Zhongzhou, Weihui House.

　　"fire!!"

　　"fire!!"

　　Outside the pass that was the only way to Weihui City, the South Route Army led by the [-]th Field Division of the White Tiger Corps gathered here and launched a fierce attack on this pass.

　　Hundreds of artillery pieces were erected on high artillery positions. Following the order of the commander of the artillery guard, hundreds of artillery pieces roared in unison.
