As expected by Sun, Chu Jun's counter-offensive on the Huguang battlefield was huge at first, and soon appeared to be weak, although the front line pushed back to the west for about 200 miles, but only occupied some small counties, and was helpless against the solid cities such as Changsha and Hengyang, and the two sides temporarily formed a confrontation.

The force is weak, the spear can stab people, the current line of the Chu army is thousands of miles, only 200 miles wide, from the southern shore of the Yangtze River to the Xiangnan mountains, like a vertical spear, can not puncture the defense line of the Western army, but its own lack of resilience and depth, Sun is expected to order the Western army ministries to resolutely resist, while consuming the sharpness of the Chu army, while sending troops, ready to eat the tens of thousands of Chu army.

The only thing that worries him is the Guangxi battlefield.

Chu Jun in the lake in the vast counter-offensive at the same time, but also sent a large army counter-attack Guangxi, according to the information sent by the rebuke, has found that Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong, Liu Fangliang, the party guard and Hezhen and other several troops of the flag, the total number of at least more than 50,000 people, there is no doubt that the lake is the main battlefield of Chu and the Western army, Guangxi is only an insignificant sub-bafield, Chu army suddenly sent tens of thousands of horses, so that the sun is expected to feel some.

In fact, the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army alone exceeded 50,000, plus Liu Fangliang, Party Guard and He Zhen's troops, the total number of Chu's troops entering Guangxi was as high as 80,000, but they successfully deceived the eyes of the Western army, making Sun expected to underestimate their strength and not realize their true intentions.

“Thousands of thieves are coming into Guangxi, what are you going to do?”

Sun is expected to repeatedly deduce the map, and finally concluded that Chu Jun sent such a large army into Guangxi, in order to counter the attack on Guilin, cut off from Guilin to the whole state and then into Hunan's supply line.

Xiangxi is a major mountain, grain and grass transfer is not easy, Liu Wenxiu conquered the Yongzhou capital of the zero mausoleum, the Western army needs a considerable part of the grain and grass materials transferred from Guangxi, from Yunnan, Guizhou brought the grain first to Guilin, and then loaded from the channel to the whole state, and then into the upper reaches of the Xiang River, all the way to the convenient water, greatly reducing the pressure of logistics, Chu army sent tens of thousands of troops into Guangxi.

The soldiers came to stop, the water came to cover.

Sun is expected to deploy troops to strengthen the defense from Guilin to the whole state along the line, in addition to sending troops from Hunan to help, but also from the nearby Liuzhou capital, Qingyuan Province to withdraw soldiers and horses, reinforcements to Guilin, not expected Tan howling, Zhou Guodong captured Yangshuo, did not attack Guilin, but marched west, straight to Liuzhou Province and went straight to Liuzhou Province.

“The thief has a small appetite!”

Sun is expected to realize that his initial judgment has been biased, Chu Jun this time is true, not just to cut off a grain road, but to try to recover the whole territory of Guangxi, because the main force of the Western army is in the lake, Guangxi Province is relatively empty, Chu Jun took this opportunity to counterattack Guangxi, called a good move, implemented to the specific tactics, Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong after the attack on the Yangshuo, to the gu.

"Wang Kefan used military engineering to change in small, but not a decent teacher."The military cloud: all the warriors to be straight, to win, the right and the strange complementary is the way to use the soldiers, but Wang Kefan blindly the sword to take the edge, sooner or later will be defeated for me, the current is still with the lake is widely heavy, let Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong in Guangxi rampant for a while, do not pay attention to it."Sun is expected to consider it again and again, and decided that he could no longer be led by Chu Jun.

Guangxi is already insufficient forces, if the Chu army moved back and forth, is likely to show the flaws, play a big defeat, the lake battlefield will also have a negative impact, since then, it is better to static brake, order all states and counties behind closed doors to stick to, can hold the best, can not hold the best, to delay the end of time, until the main force of the Western army in the lake battlefield to defeat Wang Sheng, and then free hands back to Guangxi.

The capital of Liuzhou Province, Maping, is much stronger than the general county, as long as the defenders do not close their doors, how can they persist for ten and a half days, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong want to play Liuzhou, let them go.

What Sun expected was that Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong's attack on Liuzhou was the real virtual dangling shot, and their main force was a hundred miles up and down from Maping, so they quietly turned to the northwest and drilled into the 90,000 mountains.

At the same time, Liu Fangliang, Party Shou Su and He Zhen continued to march on Ma Ping, and under the banner of Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, they attacked Liucheng, Luoyong, Xiangzhou and other states and counties, and everywhere they went to, whether they played or not, they made great noise, scared Ma Ping and these counties to block the city gate, ready to withstand the fierce offensive of the Chu army.In the hope.

Ninety thousand mountains extend to the west and connect with the Yungui Plateau.

Out of the 90,000 mountains, enter the border of Guizhou.

“Two generals, the two generals, there are Tushu soldiers in front of them to block the road.”

Received the report of the pioneers, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong came to the front of the army together, only to see an unknown gate on the narrow mountain road, one side is a cliff cliff, one side is steep hillside, the terrain is very dangerous, the door is hung with a handy plaque, it reads "Tiannan first gate" a few big words, now closed, the closed wall is full of soldiers, the head of a tiger, a tall man.The tiger tail should be the local toast.

"This Tusi is a man of Nan Xie, but also a confused person with a mind into the water, you say he is bold, he dare not let us pass through, you say he is small, he dares to take a group of soldiers to block the way of tens of thousands of troops."

Nan Xia Man is a big surname, the Western army did the relevant homework before the expedition, the people will know their history, Yuan Zong first briefly introduced the situation, then said: "I gave him two hundred gold, 50 fire taws, he still refused to switch, had to let us go back to the road, it seems that we are afraid of our customs, turn away from people to deny him."

"In exchange, I saw so many soldiers and horses, I must have been afraid."Tan Xiao smiled and asked, "Why don't you scare him and show us the name of Chu Jun, and see if he dares to block the road."

"As soon as he came up, he said he didn't believe it at all, saying that he had never heard the names of Yuan Zongdi, Liu Jun, and Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong, he only recognized Wang Kefan Wang handsome one person, unless Wang Junmen came to the family, otherwise never switch."

Yuan Zongdi's look is a little embarrassed, he was alone in Li Zicheng's hand, the world knows, now no matter where to go, no matter where others hear his name, at least will say a long-term name, who knows today finally met a not buy, let Yuan Zong first good words say all the light, but also resolutely do not let go.

"It seems that our Chu Jun's name is not good in Guangxi, so let him know the power of Chu Jun."Zhou Guodong also felt a little ridiculous, said: "The general order, ready to attack, hive, just a few broken stones, dare to call yourself Tiannan No. 1 pass, I will see how long he can keep."

This so-called Tiannan first pass, obviously a cottage goods, but the terrain here is indeed dangerous, the mountains next to the gate are composed of bare rocks, even if the so-called climbing mountain climbing like ape soldiers can not go up, can only create some simple ladder ants attached to the attack, this battle will have a lot of casualties, if there is other options, Zhou Guodong is not willing to fight this battle.

In order to reduce casualties, the preparation should be as solid as possible, Zhou Guodong handed down the order, the baby bumped musketeers up, by them to provide fire cover, and killed people to create some ladders and hit the wood, ready to directly hit the door, everyone is busy, the head of the artillery group Tananong rushed to run over.

"Hey, it's not the stone wall, let me bombard him with two guns and make sure to break it."

“Do you have a gun?”Tan turned his head and stared at him and asked.

"I brought two little ones."Tan Ganon shrank his neck and explained with a smile: "It is not easy for us to save the bottom of the house, this time they were thrown in Hunan, and I discussed it with the brothers, and I felt that it would be useful to go to Guizhou cannons, so we found a way to bring two little ones."

“Fuck off!”Tan Xiaoshou rolled his eyes: "Guizhou is not three feet flat, the soldiers even dare not take the iron armor, but you brought me two cannons of thousands of pounds!"Okay, you're not a small man, you can turn over the 90,000 mountains with two cannons, how about this road is not small."

“It’s hard.I brought four guns first, but two of them went up into the ravine and broke a brother's leg."Tan Ganon made an honest appearance, but his eyes were dripping and turning around, secretly looking at Tan's expression.

Why didn’t you break your dog’s leg?I tell you, the road in Guizhou is more difficult to go here, a gun is not allowed to take, all put me into the ravine... Well, wait, first this Tiannan first gate to blow up to me, but also worthy of your hard work."

“You can’t throw the cannon!You see, isn't that used?"

Tan Xunong's stupor kept talking, Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong and others ignored him, after a while, two three-pounder guns were pushed to the combat position, after completing the fire preparation, suddenly burst out.

“The thon!“The babe!”

Heavy shells rushed out of the cannon, trembling, slowly flying to the first gate of Tiannan, this is the unique ballistic trajectory of solid shells, seems to be slow and fast, and contains a huge impact force, a shell hit the counter-throw, a masonry splash collapsed half, a shell just hit the door, the wooden iron closed the door to make a sour huge sound, the gate on the door.
