The generals trusted Yuan Huang's ability and acknowledged Yuan Huang's position in Burma Town. Thus, they were willing to follow his orders. No one disobeyed his orders and they obediently waited for Yuan Huang's orders.
Yuan Huang carried a wooden box to the Soldier Selection Platform. On the platform, Yuan Huang opened the wooden box.
"Since ancient times, armies have always used the commander's seal as a token of trust. Before Marquis Xiao left, he entrusted the Zhennan Army's commander's seal to me. I feel the heavy responsibility on my shoulders and I have no choice but to be cautious. Now that the army is ready, the soldiers are ready and the rations are plentiful, if not now, when?"
"Attack! Attack! Attack! "
The generals and soldiers below the stage shouted in unison.
"General Luo Rong of the Battle Wolf Battalion and General Jiang Yue of the Wild Lion Battalion!"
Yuan Huang shouted. Luo Rong and Jiang Yue nodded and quickly went up the stage. Yuan Huang took out the right halves of the Battle Wolf Battalion and Wild Lion Battalion from the wooden box, while Luo Rong and Jiang Yue took out their own halves. The two halves were combined into one. After confirming, the order was in effect.
"General Luo Rong of the Battle Wolf Battalion and General Jiang Yue of the Wild Lion Battalion will lead their own troops to Ping Xi City to open a path for us. The deadline is five days!"
"Roger!"
Luo Rong and Jiang Yue accepted the order.
"General Zhao Hu of the Azure Dragon Battalion!"
Zhao Hu accepted the order and went up the stage. Yuan Huang took out the right halves of the Azure Dragon Battalion and matched them with the left halves of the Azure Dragon Battalion.
"I command you to lead your troops to the right flank of my central army!"
"Roger!"
Zhao Hu accepted the order.
"General Liao Zhong of the White Tiger Battalion!"
"Roger!"
Liao Zhong went up the stage and combined the two halves of the Azure Dragon Battalion.
"I order you to lead your troops to the left wing of my army and march together with them!"
"Roger!"
Liao Zhong went down the stage again.
The commanding generals of the four major battalions ascended the stage one by one. Yuan Huang arranged the direction and target of the march. Finally, he himself led the Artillery Division in the center and the main army immediately set off towards Flat West City, using Flat West City as the starting point for the attack.
Thus, on this day, the Daming Dynasty's most elite Zhennan Army was mobilized for the first time in three years.
Yuan Huang's strategy wasn't that simple. Halfway through the march, Yuan Huang called Ma Chong, the Deputy General of the White Tiger Battalion, into his tent and gave him a few instructions. Ma Chong obeyed Yuan Huang's orders and disappeared with the rest of the army on the same night. No one knew where they had gone.
On the seventh day of the fourth month, on the day that Xiao Ruxun fought against the thirty thousand vanguard troops of the Northern invaders, it was also the first day that Yuan Huang arrived at Ping Xi City and began to arrange his troops. Both the north and south sides of the Great Ming Dynasty started an earth-shattering war with tacit understanding, and the protagonists were all inseparable from the two words' South '.
At the same time, a storm was brewing in the capital. The Cabinet Chief Zhao Zhigao officially issued the Emperor's edict and ordered the Minister of Personnel, Tsai Kuo-chen, to start the inspection of the capital. The inspection of the capital in the 26th year of the Wanli Dynasty officially began.
From the very beginning, the target of this inspection was clear. This was because Tsai Kuo-chen's first target was the Jin Family's only bigwig backer in the court, the Minister of Revenue, Yang Junmin. Two hours after Zhao Zhigao announced the start of the inspection, Yang Junmin was captured by Tsai Kuo-chen's men and lost all contact with the outside world.
Everything indicated that the capital inspection was not as simple as eliminating dissidents. Their first target was a high-ranking official like the Minister of War. It could be imagined how huge and terrifying the specific target of the capital inspection was.
This day would become an extremely important day in the history of the Space-Time Daming Dynasty that could not be ignored. Many unimaginable things that happened in the future could be traced back to this day.
When Yuan Huang led the Zhennan Army's main force to Ping Xi City, the garrison in Ping Xi City had already fought with the Meng Tribe with the support of five thousand cavalrymen.
When the Meng Tribe discovered that the Ming Army had increased their troops, they realized that the Ming Army was planning to attack them. Although they did not know that the Ming Army had decided to exterminate them, their instincts told them that the Ming Army's reinforcements had something to do with the killing of the Devil's slaves.
As a result, a saying quickly spread.
These Devil's slaves were sent by the Han people from the south. Their purpose was to exterminate us and destroy our faith spiritually. They not only took away our homes, but also our spiritual beliefs. This was even more unforgivable than taking away our lives.
Therefore, under the leadership of a group of leaders who were dissatisfied with Xiao Ruxun for a long time, the Meng Tribe formed an alliance for the second time after they rebelled against Mang Yingli. This time, their target was not Mang Yingli, but Xiao Ruxun, who had replaced Mang Yingli to inform Burma.
They did not know that the Ming Army had come to exterminate them. They thought that the Ming Army had sent thousands of people to guard against them. Therefore, they planned to make the first move and seize Ping Xi City, the city that had hindered their march to the south for three years. They wanted to open the way home and teach Xiao Ruxun a lesson.
Naturally, they knew that Xiao Ruxun was not in Burma, so they became very bold and dared to take the initiative to attack the Ming Army. The result was obvious. Under the counterattack of the defense system of Ping Xi City that the Ming Army had painstakingly built for three years, the Meng Tribe was badly beaten.
Ping Xi City had thirty Fran Muskets, a thousand muskets, two Hongyi cannons, and two thousand soldiers. It was a fortification, and with the addition of the five thousand cavalrymen that had just arrived, its combat power was sufficient.
On the other hand, the Meng Tribe only sent five thousand vanguard soldiers to launch a probing attack on Ping Xi City. Naturally, the result was self-evident. They lost miserably. They were hit head-on by the Francis and Red Barbarian cannons, and then shot by the cannon soldiers. In the end, they were defeated by the Southern Army's impenetrable defense.
In the past, the Zhennan Army would not pursue them. After all, there were only a few dozen cavalrymen. They were not used for battle. But now, it was different. There were five thousand cavalrymen! This was the main force of the Zhennan Army's cavalrymen! If they did not pursue them, were they going to hole up in the city and retire?
Therefore, the Zhennan Army's cavalrymen attacked and quickly caught up with the defeated soldiers. After a round of killing, of the five thousand people, only one was left to go back to report. The others were all dead.
The first battle between the two armies ended. The Meng Tribe's allied forces were surprised by the Ming Army's powerful combat power. This kind of combat power, which was not inferior to three years ago, made them feel deeply uneasy and fearful.
But the millions of people gave them unparalleled courage. They quickly increased the number of allied forces, distributed weapons, and stepped up drills, ready for the second attack at any time.
At the same time, they did not forget to use diplomatic tactics. They sent someone to Ping Xi City to question the Ming Army why they were so ruthlessly killing their people. Without a doubt, this person was cut off by Luo Rong and kicked back. He sent a message — if you want to fight, let's fight. Don't talk nonsense!
The Meng Tribe was completely infuriated. They used the fastest speed to organize more than fifty thousand troops and formed a large allied force. They planned to take down Ping Xi City in one fell swoop and wash the city with blood to avenge the shame of their previous defeat.
