Huang Xing carried out the defeat to the end. Under his command, the rebel troops continued to retreat, all the way to Kunming City. .After winning several great victories in a row, Zhao Erfeng gave up his plan to return to Sichuan and was determined to annihilate the bandits and achieve extraordinary results.
Players who participated in the missions of the imperial court received a lot of benefits, and more and more players joined; the rebel side kept losing battles, and it became uneconomical to participate in the missions, and fewer and fewer players participated in the missions. Under the circumstances, the rebel forces were at an absolute disadvantage, but Huang Xing still insisted on holding Kunming.
Now Zhao Erfeng has an army of 100,000 players, while the uprising army only has 40,000, and many players are short of guns and ammunition. This battle also had no chance of winning. Yang Jie angrily approached Long Fei and asked him to take back Huang Xing's command, but Long Fei calmly said that he would let Huang Xing do it again.
Huang Xing was indeed tossing around and just stayed in Kunming, but he was fooled by Zhao Erfeng again. Zhao Erfeng deliberately exposed his flaw and arranged for only 6,000 strangers to attack in the west. Huang Xing, eager to win his first victory and boost his morale, led 20,000 troops to attack, but was ambushed by Zhao Erfeng.
After most of the 20,000 players were wiped out, many people cursed and gave up the mission and chose to leave Kunming City. Zhao Erfeng did not give Huang Xing any chance. Taking advantage of the fact that the 20,000 players did not regroup after their resurrection, he commanded the imperial army to launch a fierce attack. The city of Kunming fell, and Sun Yixian and Huang Xing could only lead the remnants to flee in embarrassment. If Long Fei, who was well prepared, had not led the 8,000 NPC troops to respond, the two big figures of the Communist Party would have been in even greater trouble.
The Yunnan Uprising ended in failure, but Long Fei was not without gains. Sun Yixian and Huang Xing had great trust in him. The two accepted his suggestion and called on all political comrades to rush to Dali to continue the uprising and would not give up until the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. Long Fei's 20,000 direct player troops, plus 8,000 NPC elites and some players who continue the mission, still have the strength to fight.
Sun Yixian asked Huang Xing to return the troops to Long Fei's command. Although Huang Xing still did not think that there was a problem with his command level, in this case he could only do what Sun Yixian said. After more than ten consecutive defeats, he continued to command the soldiers who would not be convinced, which was detrimental to the great cause of the revolution.
Long Fei has always been rooted in Dali for development and has a good base foundation. With the appeal of the Communist Party, there will be no problem in holding Dali. The uprising troops all retreated to Dali. Zhao Erfeng led his troops to pursue them and took the opportunity to capture Chuxiong Mansion in the west of Yunnan. The imperial army and the rebel forces were in a stalemate at the border between Dali Prefecture and Chuxiong Prefecture. Zhao Erfeng was determined not to give up until the rebels were wiped out.
Long Fei was not worried at all. With him and Yang Jie commanding the troops in battle, Zhao Erfeng had no chance of taking advantage. As long as we persist for a few months, Sichuan's "road protection movement" will break out, and the situation in Sichuan will be even more dangerous at that time. In the eyes of the imperial court, Sichuan's status was higher than that of Yunnan and Guizhou. Zhao Erfeng would definitely return to Sichuan, and the Dali Mansion under his control was safe and sound.
Long Fei didn¡¯t take Zhao Erfeng seriously, but Chen Baxian¡¯s actions made him gnash his teeth with hatred. Zhao Erfeng did not make any effort to capture Chen Baxian of Yunnan Prefecture, but after Zhao Erfeng pursued westward, two female players under Chen Baxian led the Guizhou Mountain Division to seize territory.
The Guizhou army skipped Yunnan Prefecture and Qujing Prefecture controlled by the Sichuan Army. Liu Xiaoxuan led the Second Division southward and occupied Pu'er Prefecture, Lin'an Prefecture, and Yuanjiang Prefecture in southern Yunnan, and split the Second Division and stationed it in each prefecture; Yudie led the Second Division. The Third Division occupied Guangxi Prefecture, Guangnan Prefecture and Kaihua Prefecture in the southeast, directly threatening Sicheng Prefecture and Zhen'an Prefecture controlled by Yingyu in Guangxi.
There is only one division under Yudie¡¯s command, and after stationing two battalions in each province, there are only about 7,000 people left. Ying Yu controlled a large number of troops, and his main forces were all concentrated in Sicheng Prefecture and Zhen'an Prefecture, but at this juncture he did not dare to enter Yunnan to fight.
The imperial court has announced that Long Fei is a rebel. Under the pretext of countering the rebellion, the Guizhou army slandered many NPC prefects as rebels when they took control of the prefectures. If Ying Yu jumped out at this time, Chen Baxian would definitely report to the court that he was a rebel, and then attack the two mansions he controlled from both sides, making his situation even worse.
Long Fei repeatedly asked Ying Yu to send troops into Yunnan to occupy Guangxi Prefecture and Guangnan Prefecture, but Ying Yu rejected them all. Ying Yu made up his mind not to provoke Chen Ba Xian. He sent his troops into Yunnan to disgust Chen Ba Xian, which would be beneficial to people like Long Fei and Xuanyuan Jian. But he knew Chen Baxian's methods. If Chen Baxian fought back at all costs, he would not be able to bear the loss.
Not only did Ying Yu fail to enter Yunnan as requested by Long Fei, he also quietly contacted Chen Hao and expressed his willingness to voluntarily hand over the two prefectures in Guangxi. There are cracks within the children of the top aristocratic families. This is what Chen Hao wants to see, so he accepted Ying Yu's goodwill.
Ying Yu¡¯s condition for handing over the two mansions was to help him move to other places for development. This request was easy for Chen Hao. He asked all Ying Yu¡¯s troops to move to Qinzhou Port. Chen Hao likes to think about others. He told Yingyu that if he sent the navy to help Yingyu move, Yingyu would be rejected by other children of the family, soThe best way is for him to sell a few warships to Ying Yu.
Ying Yu¡¯s plan is to lead the main force to move to Jinzhou Prefecture in the northeast for development. It happens that he also needs to develop the navy, so he and Chen Hao hit it off. During his stay in Guangxi, after being introduced by Huang Shaohong, Yingyu conquered Li Zongren, one of the three heroes of the Xingui Clan. After Yingyu decided on the strategy of leaving Guangxi for development, Li Zongren recommended Jinzhou Prefecture to him, believing that based on Jinzhou Prefecture, there would be an opportunity to gradually control the Northeast.
Ying Yu also thinks that Jinzhou is good. A few years ago, there was a guy named Sanshengshi in Jinzhou Prefecture who was doing well, but recently this person disappeared. In the Northeast, after Xuanyuan Jian and Chen Baxian left one after another, there was only one major force, Zui Sheng Meng Death, and Zui Sheng Meng Death's focus was still on the Korean Peninsula. It would be better to move the main force under his command to the Northeast.
Chen Hao and Ying Yu, the old enemies, settled their differences and finally got together and traded ten destroyers and four cruisers at market prices. Ying Yu was not without gains. With these warships, he could successfully transfer to Jinzhou and re-establish a base in Jinzhou. Zui Sheng Meng Death's warships are no more than his, so even if there is a conflict, he will not suffer.
The first part of the Polu Army, which had not yet been formed, entered Sicheng Prefecture and Zhen'an Prefecture under the leadership of Jiang Baili. In western Guangxi, half of the four prefectures that Chen Hao had blocked were taken back, leaving only Taiping Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture controlled by Huo Qubing. After taking these two prefectures, Chen Hao truly and completely controlled a province.
Chen Hao was not in a hurry to send the main force to fight Huo Qubing's men. He ordered Lu Rongting, who was still on the border, to command the NPC troops to attack Taiping Mansion. Patrol battalions from various prefectures in Guangxi also rushed to the west to accept Lu Rongting's command. There were more than 30,000 people gathered together, and the number of troops under Lu Rongting's command exceeded 40,000.
Chen Hao cherishes the NPC troops under his command very much, but he doesn¡¯t care about the NPC patrol battalions of the imperial court. He wishes to fight them all for the best. After all the patrol battalions across Guangxi are destroyed, as the governor of Guangxi, he can reorganize them. At that time, he will recruit NPC soldiers according to Guizhou's standards, and every soldier must be loyal to him, thus keeping the local troops in his hands.
Today, the composition of patrol battalions in various places is too complicated. It would be too difficult for Chen Hao to win over them separately. It is better to tear them down and rebuild them. Anyway, he has two large arsenals in his hands, which can fully guarantee the arms needed for reconstruction. He looks down on the broken guns of the imperial patrol battalion. After calculating the gains and losses, he issued a death order to Lu Rongting, asking Lu Rongting to destroy the rebels in Taiping Mansion and Nanning Mansion at all costs.
Lu Rongting had a promiscuous tendency. He was extremely repulsive to Chen Hao's order and wrote a letter to inquire. Chen Hao rushed to the front line to explain to him, telling him that the strangers in Taiping Mansion and Nanning Mansion were all fake people, and they were actually the subordinates of Huo Qubing, a stranger from Hubei. Huo Qubing is also an official in Hubei. If the strangers in the two houses are his subordinates, it is indeed a fake.
Lu Rongting was doubtful about Chen Hao's explanation, so Chen Hao told him that he was waiting for the opportunity to commit suicide, and that sending a patrol battalion to exterminate the rebellious parties was intended to consume the imperial troops. Even if Lu Rongting wiped out all the men in the patrol camp, he would not blame Lu Rongting.
Lu Rongting then felt that Chen Baxian was really inclined to commit suicide. After all, if Chen Baxian was a loyal minister of the court, it was impossible for him to deliberately kill the patrol camp. After untying his knot, Lu Rongting marched into Taiping Mansion according to Chen Hao's request, and started a fierce battle with the players Huo Qubing stayed in Taiping Mansion.
The quality of the NPC troops far exceeds that of the players, and Commander Lu Rongting also has more than 80 points, so the troops have very strong combat effectiveness. Player troops have the advantage of being resurrected. They can be resurrected even after losing battles, and the number of patrol battalions is also constantly decreasing. The two sides have been in a stalemate in Taiping Mansion for three months. The average level of players under Huo Qubing has dropped by four levels, and there are only more than 10,000 NPC patrol battalions left in the imperial court.
Chen Hao was very satisfied with this situation, but it was a pity that Huo Qubing did not want to continue. He was reminded by Xuanyuan Sword. Xuanyuan Jian analyzed the situation in Guangxi for him and told him that Chen Baxian deliberately used the imperial patrol battalion to die in order to get more imperial personnel to support his troops.
After Huo Qubing came to his senses, he felt that it was not worthwhile, so he followed Ying Yu's example and prepared to give up Taiping Mansion and Nanning Mansion. He approached Chen Hao to negotiate terms, saying that he could voluntarily hand over the two mansions, but Chen Hao had to ensure that his players left Guangxi safely with all the supplies they had hoarded.
Chen Hao rejected Huo Qubing's request without hesitation and ordered Lu Rongting to strengthen his offensive and continue to storm the two mansions. His goal is to consume all the imperial patrol camp troops, and now there are more than 10,000 people left! Huo Qubing's men would have no such good excuse if they retreated.
Huo Qubing¡¯s bases in Taiping Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture were captured one by one. There were only 8,000 people left in the patrol camps across Guangxi, but Huo Qubing didn¡¯t want to do any more meaningless things. He ordered the lurking players to break up into pieces and leave Guangxi, abandon their base and sneak back to Hubei, but even so Chen Hao did not let him get his wish.
