The Manchus also had a tradition of showing off their martial arts.
The more difficult the victory, the more they like to show off.
Although Hou Jin won a complete victory in the Battle of Hunhe, the stubborn white-pole soldiers still caused heavy losses to Hou Jin.
After the war, Hou Jin cleaned up the battlefield and took the relics of Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan as trophies and presented them in Shenyang.
After the National Defense Forces invaded Shenyang, they discovered these things and reported them immediately.
After Zuo Mengeng learned about it, he personally issued an order to collect these things properly and send them to Shizhu.
At that time, the National Defense Forces had not yet carried out the Kuidong strategy, and Zuo Mengeng did not think too much about it.
It was pure chance that the two things came together.
But no matter what, after seeing the relics of my relatives back and feeling the sincerity of the empire, even the stone pillars softened their hearts.
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, Da Ming could not do this to them.
Zuo Rong laughed loudly.
However, compared to Li Guo, Hao Yaoqi is also more stubborn. He must be put under enough pressure so that he can see the general trend clearly.
Hao Yaoqi looked at the increasing number of National Defense Forces at the foot of the mountain, and his nerves were gradually reaching the edge of collapse.
After hearing what Zuo Rong said about the military academy, Ma Wannian no longer had any doubts.
"Although I am trapped in the countryside, I have always heard that the empire is showing its power at home and abroad, and that every battle will be won. When I see it today, I will know what a powerful army in the world is."
When he learned that the empire had expanded thousands of miles and that there were countless fertile lands that could not be cultivated, Qin Liangyu made the decision himself.
Li Guo sat still with a tangled look on his face, which made all his subordinates uneasy.
Everyone who was still alive was frightened and could only act like a turtle.
On the other side, Li Guo welcomed a familiar guest.
He was old, and Shizhu could not be left alone, so he had no choice but to stay and manage the family business.
"The old lady's family has served the country for generations, sacrificing their lives, shedding blood, and showing their loyalty, which can be learned by heaven and earth. When His Majesty teaches, he always uses the old lady as an example. Empress Wu even said that she hopes to have the opportunity to ask for help from the old lady. "
"Force Hao Yaoqi, persuade Li Guo to surrender, and attack Wang Guangxing specifically."
Look at the strong and mighty appearance of the soldiers of the National Defense Force, which is far beyond the comparison of the hungry and downtrodden people from other forces.
"Your Highness King Wu, can I... also join the army?"
Zuo Rong drew up a battle plan.
These small artillery pieces worked wonders, destroying the enemy's fortifications one by one.
Not to mention Qin Liangyu, even Ma Wannian and Qin Yiming were completely heartbroken after seeing the grand occasion of the National Defense Forces.
Some unbelievers stood up and shot arrows. Because their bodies were exposed, they were killed immediately.
Five thousand people immigrated from Shizhu.
Although it is hard to leave my homeland, in order to live a good life, I don’t have to worry about so much.
Qin Liangyu felt so relieved to see that he, the majestic king of Wu, was so humble.
This batch of food immediately made Shizhu recover, and the barren village was once again filled with laughter and laughter.
Among the remaining three clans of the Thirteen Kuidong families, Wang Guangxing was the most powerful and a local coward, and was obviously not willing to surrender.
The plan was formulated, and the 10th Division immediately launched a strong attack on Wang Guangxing.
Qin Liangyu and others stayed in the military camp for five days and looked at it from inside to outside.
Regardless of his old age and frailty, Qin Liangyu, accompanied by Ma Wannian and Qin Yiming, traveled across the mountains and ridges to visit Zuo Rong.
The canned beef they ate again and again was considered disgusting by the soldiers...
Seeing this, Zuo Rong finally understood why Zuo Menggeng respected this old man so much.
With Shizhu's surrender, the situation in Kuidong became completely clear.
"grandmother……"
The National Defense Forces below were approaching step by step, but the musket shooting range was hundreds of meters away, which was simply not something they could compete with the bows and arrows in their hands.
On the contrary, outsiders like Hao Yaoqi and Li Guo have relatively shallow foundations and may still be persuaded to surrender.
Coupled with the mortar, an artifact of mountain warfare, Wang Guangxing could not resist it at all, and his territory became smaller and smaller, and was finally compressed on the mountains with a radius of less than ten miles.
"You can be motivated. What else does grandma have to be dissatisfied with? You just want to be a disciple of the emperor, but you have to live up to your expectations and don't let your grandfather, father and uncles lose the reputation."
Seeing that Wang Guangxing, the most capable fighter, was defeated, how could it be possible for the two of them to say they were not panicking?
Of course Hao Yaoqi and Li Guo are paying attention to the battle situation here.
However, they also gained a new understanding of the world from the mouths of Zuo Rong and other officers.
"To add to this, why haven't you surrendered even now? If you continue to waste it, what will it do to your brothers?"
Qin Yiming could only envy this.
Facing Qin Liangyu, Zuo Rong couldn't feel proud at all, as if he was seeing an idol.
"Mr. Ma's generals are very rare. Talents are rare. If you are willing to join the army, it is really a dream. In this way, I will personally write you a letter of recommendation. When you come out of the military academy, you will definitely be able to show your prowess."
At this point, the stone pillar was finally lifted from the blockade and became increasingly full of life.
Immediately, merchants entered the stone pillars, selling goods and purchasing local products at appropriate prices.
Under the guidance of Shizhu's guide, the National Defense Forces successfully completed the insertion and completely blocked Hao Yaoqi, Li Guo, and Wang Guangxing in the mountains.
Knowing that Shizhu's current situation was not good and that he had run out of food, Zuo Rong immediately ordered and allocated five thousand kilograms of food to be transported there.
For the first time, Qin Liangyu felt that his grandson was pleasing to his eyes.
Ma Wannian's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he made a plea on the spot.
After receiving the permission, Ma Wannian was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Yuan Zongdi is now transformed into the envoy of the National Defense Forces to persuade them to surrender.
Although the mountain paths are rugged and difficult to navigate, after the National Defense Force dismantled the lightweight infantry, it only needed a few soldiers to carry it on their backs to carry it to the attack distance.
In other words, Wang Guangxing wants to strive for more.
At Qin Liangyu's request, the National Defense Forces conducted a live firing exercise for them.
Wang Guangxing's men and horses were hiding in high places, but they couldn't raise their heads at all.
Shizhu is located between mountains, with many mountains and narrow land, and its products are very poor. Even in ordinary times, people will suffer from hunger.
Shizhu's surrender instantly opened up the situation in Kuidong.
There was no need for the National Defense Forces to do anything deliberately. Qin Liangyu and others could feel the surging morale just by working, resting, and moving.
In fact, in the face of the absolute weapons gap, the advantage of terrain can play a very limited role.
If you surrender without knowing the current situation, weapons like this will fall on your head...
The scene of all kinds of hot weapons washing the ground made everyone in Shizhu terrified.
What impressed them most was the luxurious food provided by the Ministry of National Defense.
Although Wang Guangxing's unit occupies a dangerous pass and is in a commanding position, it seems to have a full advantage. However, the weapons of the National Defense Force have too long range, and they have hot air balloons and other airborne observation equipment, which greatly make up for the disadvantage.
No one wanted to fight, so he gave the order.
He won't insist on it, right?
In full view of everyone, Li Guo finally reacted.
He asked a question that no one would have thought of.
