The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 457
While speaking, Liu Shantai waved the whip in his hand, and the whip pierced through the air with a crackling sound.

Then, he pointed his finger at the army behind him, the meaning was very clear.

The kingly law of Ming Dynasty is here!

Whoever holds the handle of the knife, whose words are Wang Fa!
Obviously, the handle of this knife is now held by Zhu Hongyu.

And hold it firmly in your hand!
Zhang Xiushan said with a smile.

"That's natural!"

"I wait for the elders in Guilin, and they all have a bright heart!"

"..."

……

Zhang Xiushan got the result he wanted, so he didn't continue to stay in the Ming army.

Instead, hurry to Guilin City!

He wants to share this good news with those people in Guilin.

Then make preparations for taking Guilin with the Ming army outside the city.

Lu Maode has served as the governor of Guangxi for several years, and he is quite prestigious in the local area. He even holds a trooper directly under him.

There are not many people, about 3000 people, but the soldiers are all recruited from good families in Guangxi, as well as local fierce natives to form an army.

It can almost be regarded as Guangxi Cubing!

There is no shortage of food, armor, etc., and he can be regarded as an elite who can fight and dare to fight.

These people in the Guilin Mansion want to dedicate the city. Fortunately, the green battalion soldiers say that the generals of the green battalion and the local landlords and gentry are in deep collusion. It is not difficult for them to make the green battalion an organizational system.

Only
This 3000-man bidder is the biggest obstacle!

Zhang Xiushan returned to Guilin City and began to connect quickly.

As the Ming army continued to approach, the war atmosphere inside and outside Guilin became more and more intense.

Teams of sentry cavalry left the city and headed towards the direction the Ming army came from, wanting to find out the situation on the battlefield.

It's just that the ones who went out were complete establishments, but those who came back were remnants and defeated generals.

The Ming army was really good at cavalry. This is a fact, and there is no need to deny it.

But the cavalry of the Ming army has to be compared with whoever pulls the hips. Compared with the elite Manchurian cavalry of the Qing court, the cavalry of the Ming army did pull the hips.

Whether it's riding skills or the quality of the horses, they can't compare with the Manchurian cavalry of the Qing court.

At most, it is relying on the advantages of equipment to regain a little bit of the situation.

However, if compared with the green cavalry of the Qing court, the cavalry of the Ming army still has a certain combat effectiveness.

In the past few years, there have been several high-intensity battles, and the cavalry of the Ming army has been trained!
At the very least, the current Ming army cavalry will not show timidity against the upper Qing army cavalry!
Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Manchurian cavalry of the Qing army, due to the strength of their own infantry, they are the ones who win every war in the end.

After going back and forth like this, the self-confidence of the army will naturally be tempered!
After all, victory is the most inspiring thing!

The current Ming army cavalry is very confident, they firmly believe that they are invincible.

They are not afraid of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners of the Qing army, but are they afraid of a group of trash green camps?
Confidence brings inflated morale, coupled with the fact that the cavalry of the Ming army is already superior to the green cavalry of the Qing army in terms of combat effectiveness, as well as luxurious equipment that does not know how many lines.

After the cavalry of the two sides met, the result can be imagined!

The sentry cavalry of the Qing court were almost unilaterally swept away. The two sides fought in the field of Guilin City and collided.

The cavalry roared past, leaving stumps and broken arms all over the ground!

The cavalry of the Ming army roared away arrogantly, and their red armor was even more ostentatious.

Lu Maode inspected the city defense again, standing on the top of the city and watching his sentry cavalry who left the city keep retreating in defeat, with an extremely gloomy expression on his face.

On the head of the city of Guilin, the banner of Qing characters is blowing fiercely in the wind!

"My lord, Ming Thief is less than fifty miles away from Guilin!"

A messenger whispered a report in Lu Maode's ear.

Lu Yaode nodded slightly, and then ordered.

"Send the order, from now on, block Guilin City, no one can come in or out!"

This is the best way to prevent someone from secretly offering the city to the thieves during the war!

As if remembering something, Lu Maode continued to speak.

"Send out soldiers and horses to keep a close eye on the big gentry households in the city, and keep an eye on all their movements."

Speaking of fornicating thieves, the most suspected ones are the big gentry in Guilin.

Although these people are loyal to the Qing Dynasty on the surface, secretly, it is estimated that every family has connections with the Ming thief.

It can even be said that these big gentry families are the biggest instability factor in Guilin city!
You must send someone to stare at you!
The subordinates took orders to do it.

All the gates of Guilin City were blocked. In order to prevent some people from surrendering to the thieves and offering the city, Lu Maode even ordered that the gate holes be filled with sandbags of earth and rocks.

Make sure that even if someone wants to dedicate the city, the city gate cannot be opened for a while!

At the same time, as the Ming army marched towards Guilin little by little, the big gentry in Guilin also stepped up their connection.

The leaders of the militias have all received explicit hints from their respective masters, asking them to prepare for "big things".

Those generals and officers in the green battalion were also frequently invited to banquets, eating and drinking in restaurants, sleeping in brothels, living a good life...

With the war approaching, the restaurants and skin business in Guilin City have a special kind of prosperity.

……

The 19th year of the Yongli calendar, 1655 in the Western calendar, the beginning of May!
The Ming army finally reached the outside of Guilin city!

Standing at the top of the city and looking at it, the outside of the city is covered with patches of dazzling red armor.

The sharp swords and guns, the rolled dragon flags, and the cannons of all sizes are all extremely eye-catching.

The clouds of war are thickening!
Liu Shantai sat straddling his horse, looking at Guilin City, feeling a little excited in his heart.

As long as Guilin can be captured, the Ming army's Guangxi strategy will be considered more than half completed!
Although Liu Shantai did not dare to extravagantly ask for the title of Marquis in one battle, it should not be a problem for his title to change from a current title to a hereditary title after this battle is over.

As for the title of title, only by holding the hereditary Iron Book of Alchemy in your hands can you feel at ease!

"Old Liu, the terrain of Guilin City is steep, and the siege area outside the city is limited and relatively narrow. Our artillery positions cannot be deployed."

"In this battle, our army's artillery advantage may not be fully utilized!"

Liu Shantai was still in his daydreams, and Wei Tai, the artillery commander of the Ming army in this battle, gave him a slap in the face.

The city of Guilin is surrounded by mountains and water, and the area that can be used to launch an attack is very narrow!

If the positions are arranged according to the artillery exercises of the Restoration Army, the large number of artillery carried by the Ming Army in this battle cannot be arranged at all.

Moreover, if the Ming army wants to attack the city, it is not easy to deploy the attacking force!

I'm afraid that it will be the end of the fight, and it will be filled with human life!

Now Liu Shantai felt a little lucky, fortunately he had contacted those people in Guilin City in advance.

Otherwise, this battle in Guilin might be difficult!
Liu Shantai pondered for a while, staring at Wei Tai with burning eyes and said.

"Old Wei, think of a way!"

"Try to arrange the artillery in place!"

"When the time comes when the army launches an attack on the city, if there is no artillery to help out, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties!"

"Those are all my good sons, Daming!"
