There was no suspense in the war near Luzhou. Mo Rigen was determined to defend the city, but the 20,000 outside the city restrained the army. Facing the covered shooting of 200 artillery guns, they were defeated without entering the war. The Mo Rigen army, who was in dense queues, was bleeding into a river under the bombardment of shrapnel. When Mo Rigen saw this scene, he blew his blood to his throat. Mo Rigen thought that he had imitated cannons. Although the number was insufficient, he relied on the city and the outcome was unknown. But now this scene really told him that he had not only not narrowed the gap with the Communist Army in recent years, but was farther away. The lethality of the solid bullet was too inferior to that of shrapnel bullets. After several years of hard work, he found it useless. No one could maintain a normal attack.

Mo Rigen could only bear the city if he lost the mobile force outside the city. He felt as if he had given up his can. In his heart, Mo Rigen ordered the firing of a cannon. 25 copper cannons were loaded with excessive gunpowder. 25 iron balls flew towards the Gonghe Army, but it seemed that the power was insufficient and did not hit the Gonghe Army at all.

At this time, He Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the north, was frustrating about the cannons on the Luzhou city wall. Although it was a smoothbore cannon, no one could guarantee that it would be impossible to hit the soldiers. In He Cheng's original plan, he was preparing to use the scattered line to get close. After making a certain sacrifice, he tried to find out the approximate position of the enemy artillery and then counterattack. However, unexpectedly, the cannons on the city were fired first, and counted it and there were exactly 25 enemy artillery numbers in the same number as those in the intelligence. In other words, Mo Rigen exposed his gun positions on his impulse.

So, ten minutes after the Morigen artillery fired, 50 mortars began to counterattack with flowering bullets. This bomb that fell upon the ground showed off the bomb again to Morigen, who had only solid bombs. At this time, Morigen had no mood to study. The storm-like blow of fifty mortars greatly reduced the protection of the anti-aircraft facilities on the city's head that were originally protected from solid shells bounce. The operation of copper cannons was severely damaged, and the dense shells dropped, which caused the mortal explosion of ammunition on the city head. Morigen miraculously survived this round of attack. But when the bombardment was over, Morigen looked at the ravaged city walls and saw that his artillery was finished.

After completing the shelling, the blasting team, wearing armor and under the cover of the firepower of the musketeers, pushed the wheelbarrow through the moat that had already dried up in winter, and made holes in the city wall and stuffed dozens of kilograms of blasting tubes into it. Amid the sound of earth-shaking blasting, the Luzhou city wall collapsed.

Mo Rigen finally fled in a hurry under his escort, with fifty cavalry. The two thousand cavalry who followed him chased him slowly. A general who was broken was still left with him, and it would be better for him to be left after conquering Luzhou City. The Communist Army did not rest and continued to travel north to attack Shouchun. Mo Rigen was fleeing along the way. As his base camp, Shouchun had a total of 30,000 literate workers made armor and weapons for Mo Rigen here. Although the products were very low-level, they were indeed workers. He had certain discipline, could cooperate, and had hands-on experience. After simple training, he could fully integrate into the industrial workers in the Republic's territory.

For the safety of this group of workers, He Cheng specially left a division to protect them. After a full meal and rewarded with a large bucket of salted sea fish, dozens of factory representatives in the Republic's territory were allowed to enter, and a movement to attract people began. For the first time, these workers, who were like slaves, found themselves so popular. For the first time, they knew that they had money to get the work, not only did they have any problem with money, but all the factories also had food subsidies and accommodation. Thirty thousand people quickly signed labor contracts and were allocated.

At this time, the northern legion of the Communist Party of China advanced all the way to Huainan. On November 10, the entire south of the Huainan River was already inserted into the scythe hammer flag. Mo Rigen, the highest commander of Huainan West Road, was chased like a stray dog ​​to the south of Henan today. In Huainan County, the south bank of the Huainan River, he was surrounded by a cavalry battalion. Mo Rigen is not Cheng Pan, a pervert who can surround a thousand people, who can rush out freely. Under the serial shooting of cavalry, Mo Rigen committed suicide.

Since then, all the military groups on Huainan West Road were destroyed, all Morigen's 40,000 troops were eliminated, and all the 50,000 workers' group were eaten by the Republic. Since then, the Republic has occupied all the target territory of the war, and the next step is to fight against the Yuan Dynasty's counterattack.

After learning about Cheng Pan's rebellion, the Yuan Dynasty, which was originally caused by the rebel army in Zhejiang, felt a sense of continuous rain. Now the court and the people began to have a debate about whether to wipe out the Fang family army first or the Communist Party army first. One side believed that the weaker Fang family army should be exterminated first, but the slogan was very radical. However, the other side confirmed that the Communist Party army was strong, and its potential was greater than that of the Fang family army. They should give priority to gathering all troops to attack.

At this time, Prime Minister Tuotuo showed his courage and directly allocated funds to concentrate 80,000 troops from the Secretariat to move south, and at the same time, let Henan Jiangbei Province dispatch 50,000 people to jointly attack. Now Tuotuo's policy of advocating bandits was extremely happy to implement. Now the two rebels in Jiangnan wanted to kill all the Mongols and the other directly confiscated a large amount of land. Both sides greatly damaged the interests of the upper Mongolian nobles. At this time, Tuotuo canceled the annual welfare for the Mongolian nobles and used the country's financial resources to encircle and suppress the rebels, every Mongolian nobleman said nothing. Cheng Pan now divided the land that originally belonged to the Mongols in Jianghuai, which was angering the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, the Communist Army, which occupied the entire southern bank of the Huai River, had stopped its pace. He Cheng, the commander of the Northern Front Army, was stopped by several orders from Cheng Pan. Faced with the handwritten orders and explanations of the supreme commander, several generals stopped their desire to continue to attack actively and switched to a defensive policy.

At this time, Cheng Pan released four generals and was in charge of logistics by himself. He was facing huge consumption of war at this time. Now the front line cannot continue to push north no matter what. With the current body of the Republican government, the current territory is already the limit. To supply the northern legion alone, the consumption of tens of thousands of people is extremely large. Now the four-wheeled carriage can maintain the logistics. Once the legion crosses the Huaihe River and enters Huaibei to fight, the consumption of the territory will be unable to be maintained. So now He Cheng only released two cavalry to Huaibei for a limited battle. As for the Yuan Dynasty counterattack troops in the north, they can only put them south of the Huaihe River to annihilate them.

In Cheng Pan's eyes, it was not just a matter of logistics supply, but now the level of defense of the Communist He Army's occupation of the territory has reached its limit. If it continues to expand, the deployment of the existing military deployment on the occupied land will be short of its reach. Cheng Pan never thinks that his luck is against the will. Although war is a gambling, it must be 100% prepared. Now there are still Mongolian cavalry, and although Cheng Pan's rebellion this time, the Mongolian army in various provinces in various regions had the intention to preserve its strength and began to remain calm. However, it also began to gather troops to confront the Communist He Army. No one could guarantee what they would do next, but as long as the Communist He Army showed a little defeat, they would definitely come like wolves.

Therefore, the flaw of defense gap must not appear in front of these wolves.

Once the enemy army seizes this gap, a cavalry will advance and destroy it on a large scale, which will not only delay the establishment of the newly occupied land order, but also threaten the entire logistics line. Therefore, Cheng Pan has only decided to occupy the territory of the entire Anhui Province in the future. The Japanese strategic plan that swept across China in three months is not dared to formulate. It will be bad if you play.

Since the current strategic plan has been implemented, the following is the question of how to end the war. In this regard, we can refer to the performance of the early Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty. The premise of ending the war is to directly eliminate the enemy's living forces, and the wild boar skin directly eliminated the 400,000 troops that the Ming Dynasty would suppress, so that the Ming Dynasty could enter the strategic defense stage.

The next step is to destroy the Yuan Dynasty's ability to continue the war, and the Huaihe River War is about to begin.

When Prime Minister Tuotuo ordered the troops of the Secretariat and Henan Jiangbei Province to go south, five days later, the bad news of the fall of Huainan West Road and Jiangnan East Road was heard. In addition, the news that the Communist Party had blocked the sea routes and all the imperial grains were washed this year, Tuotuo was depressed. Prime Minister Tuotuo had long expected the huge damage caused by Cheng Pan's rebellion. But after the incident really happened, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He originally wanted to be the Minister of Zhongxing in the Yuan Dynasty, but unfortunately the north was once again in the year.

Natural disaster. Now the imperial court's financial resources are in full swing. Zhejiang was messed up by Fang Guozhen. Suzhou and Hangzhou are now harassed by the Communist Army. Now it thinks that putting Rugao County to Cheng Pan is the biggest failure in the Jiangbei Province of Henan Province. Now Rugao County relies on several forts to almost restrain the 100,000 troops in Sudi. Rugao Fortress, which relies on the Yangtze River as a supply, is easy to fight against 50,000 troops, and often dispatches a division to harass it everywhere.

On November 25, 1348 AD, the local army general of Huainan East Road, Pingzhang Gouer, Huainan Province, could not stand this situation anymore. He decided to attack the No. 2 castle among the three castles on Rugao territory.

A total of 50,000 attacks were only 1,800 in the castle. Dashitemur was determined to make a lot of money, hoping to break the city with absolute superior force before the Communist Party of China could react within three days. But the result was tragic. The castle fully utilized its own firepower without dead corners. As for its strong defense, it did not reflect it. The enemy's siege equipment was named by artillery from the beginning. The Yuan army had no choice but to adopt the ants-attacking method. 56 on the castle

Under the attack of the cannon's shotgun, blood flowers bloomed in the crowd. After two days and one night of strong attack, the No. 2 Bastion still sprayed flames. Under the city wall was a sea of ​​corpses and blood. As for the city wall, there were only some scratches and bullet holes with shotguns. The thick city wall still showed his strong defense in front of the enemy. At this time, the 10,000 Republicans who came down from the upper reaches came to support. The Yuan army, which had long been forced to the limit of the bloody siege, suddenly exploded the camp when the Communist Army arrived.

Afterwards, the Yuan army killed at least 15,000 people in the fierce siege in the past two days. The three roads of Pingzhang Gouer in Huainan Province later gathered more than 10,000 troops 50 kilometers north, but this unit never dared to approach the city wall of the Communist He Army again.

The result of this defensive battle was that Huainan East Road completely lost the courage to take the initiative to attack. The initiative on the Eastern Front was completely handed over to the Communist Army.

After learning about the Yuan army's crushing defeat at Rugao Fortress, Tutuo completely dispelled the expectation of quickly resolving the chaos in Jiangsu and restoring sea transportation.
