The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 336
At the junction of Guiyang and Cangwu, under Yema Pass

At this time, an army with bright armor was attacking Guancheng with its head held high and high morale.

This army is exactly under the Taiping Army, since the Taiping Army suffered a big defeat in Lingling County.

Hong Xiuquan then shrunk the line of defense to Jiaozhou and defended the Lingnan area, which is a natural danger.

Due to the death of Southern King Feng Yunshan, Hong Xiuquan couldn't help realizing that it was impossible for his own army to compete with the Qi army based on its current combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the ambition to dominate Yangzhou and sweep the world.

Therefore, after this incident, Hong Xiuquan also came to his senses in an instant, and no longer considered expansion as a strategic decision for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Instead, in the military, we will do our best to recuperate, train sergeants, and build armor.

As for agriculture, the common people were called on to develop wasteland and plant crops to store military rations.

Therefore, in the past few months, the influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be said to have gradually faded, and it has been quietly developing in the south of the Five Ridges.

Therefore, there is today's fully armed Taiping Army, which is ready to die and has a brand new look.

It can be seen from the ranks of the soldiers that their aura is much higher than before.

Under Yi Wang Shi Dakai and other military training generals, after several months of training.

Therefore, today's Taiping Army already has the strength of elite soldiers, what is lacking is just battle experience.

…………

But now, after several months of training, the Taiping Army once again sent troops out of Lingnan to invade the border of Qi State.

Gao Xiang, the guard of Yemachuan, tried his best to resist the Taiping Army's attack.

On the other side, he also rushed to write down the battle report, and ordered the sentinel to send it to the chief general Wang Xuance urgently.

However, although the Taiping Army's combat power is different from the past, Yema Pass was as early as Huang Zhong's time.

It has been extensively rebuilt, and its sturdiness is far from being described as hard.

Not only that, but the terrain in front of Yema Pass is also very narrow, and it can accommodate up to hundreds of people attacking the city at a time.

Based on this, the Taiping Army was unable to fully display its superior force.

Therefore, the defense of the defenders in Guancheng is so convenient, making it much easier!

Besides, although Gao Xiang only belonged to the category of second-rate military generals, he still firmly blocked the Taiping Army from outside the city by virtue of the advantage of fortifying the city.

The key reason why it can be so easily blocked outside the city is actually the chief general of the Taiping Army.

It is only said that the battle flag fought by the Taiping Army's central army is to hold high the word "Yang".

Obviously, this is Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who is leading the army as the main general.

But as we all know, Shi Dakai is the best at using soldiers in the Taiping Army.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Taiping Army to be unable to attack for a long time!
…………

Two days later, the sentries of the Qi army hurried on their way, and finally handed over the battle report to Wang Xuance, who was patrolling Lingling.

After seeing it, Wang Xuance began to think hard about how to deal with the Taiping Army's attack.

After all, Yue Fei is now leading the army northward to support the battle of Ping Bashu, and the main force of Qi State is also trying its best to seize Bashu at this time.

At this time, the Taiping Army seized the best opportunity to attack.

Because, this time can be said to be the weakest time of Qi State, as long as it breaks through the Yema Pass and enters the hinterland of Xiangzhou.

I am afraid that the Qi regime will suffer catastrophe, and heroes from all walks of life around will take advantage of the fire to loot one after another.

As an outstanding diplomat, how could Wang Xuance fail to see the clues.

Therefore, regarding the attack of the Taiping Army, Wang Xuance is getting active and thinking of countermeasures!

In the end, after some consideration by Wang Xuance, he personally led an army of [-] to support Yema Pass.

Find the right time to defeat it, and then follow the retreat of the Taiping Army to invade the hinterland of Jiaozhou.

In this way, the Qi army could press on step by step, gradually encroaching on the counties in south of the Five Ridges, until finally eliminating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime.

But there was an unexpected scene. It was only said that the Taiping Army had not captured Yema Pass for several days.

Until Wang Xuance led the reinforcements to arrive and forced the city to go down to the stronghold.

At this time, Eastern King Yang Xiuqing led the army to retreat overnight.

Subsequently, it strengthened its defense line in Cangwu, and garrisoned Cangwu to reach the Qi army's invasion.

For a moment, following the incredible scene of the Taiping Army.

Although Wang Xuance was very resourceful, he was really puzzled, what kind of conspiracy was the Taiping Army planning?
A few days later, a battle report from Yangzhou came, which dispelled Wang Xuance's inner doubts.

It turned out that when Yang Xiuqing led the army to attack Yemaguan, Hong Xiuquan took Shi Dakai as his general and led the main force to attack Yangzhou.

Because Yang Xiuqing stormed Yema Pass urgently, he vowed not to withdraw his troops until the city was destroyed.

This move can be said to have greatly attracted the attention of the heroes of Yangzhou, thinking that the main attack direction of the Taiping Army was the Qi Army in Xiangzhou.

Therefore, the defense lines of the counties in Yangzhou were ignored.

In the end, under the sudden attack, Shi Dakai's troops were in full swing, and wiped out the heroes of Yangzhou one after another.

In a short period of time, the Taiping Army swept across the southern and eastern regions of Yangzhou like a huge locust crossing the border.

"What a trick to "destroy Guo through false means"!"

Just saying, after reading the battle report slowly, Wang Xuance heaved a sigh of relief.

For a while, Wang Xuance finally understood why the Taiping Army only attacked Yema Pass symbolically.

After the arrival of its reinforcements, it decisively withdrew its troops to the hinterland to hold on.

It turned out that the decision of the Taiping Army was not to capture Xiangzhou and fight against the Qi army.

Its real purpose is to take advantage of the situation to invade Yangzhou, sweep Yangzhou unexpectedly, and seize the land of Jiangdong.

As for the Taiping army's attack on Yemaguan, it was just an eyeliner, just to attract the attention of the separatist forces in Yangzhou.

However, since Wang Xuance has seen through the plan of the Taiping Army, of course he will not sit idly by!

After some deep thinking, Wang Xuance stayed at Yema Pass with [-] soldiers.

And he personally led the army out of the pass to attack Jiaozhou, attacking its hinterland!

Along the way, you can see that there is a camp almost every tens of miles in the territory.

Immediately proceeded to resist the march of the Qi army, in order to drag down its speed and physical strength.

Although relying on Wang Xuance's ability, seizing a small camp is nothing more than a matter of hand.

However, after capturing several camps, Wang Xuance suddenly discovered that there was a conspiracy.

After some thought, he immediately dispatched several waves of sentry cavalry to investigate ahead.

A day or two later, the sentry rider finally returned and reported the news of his investigation.

"Report to the general, there is a barracks almost every few tens of miles ahead, blocking the middle of the road."

"Tell the general that in almost every camp, the number of guards is only a few hundred."

For a while, several waves of scouts reported the news of the investigation one after another.

Hearing the information sent back by the scouts, Wang Xuance began to pay attention, and his mind began to spin infinitely, thinking about the Taiping Army's conspiracy.

Now, Wang Xuance was extremely disturbed, and he could feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

As if anything was about to happen, his mind became more restless and agitated!
…………

I don't know what conspiracy the Taiping Army has?
