How to attack Mandalay, the Geely army has a lot of heavy artillery, and coupled with the benefits of defending the city, the forcible attack will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Zuo Zongtang's expression became a little slow when he heard Jiang Kuo's words, so he asked.

"Who said that we must attack Mandalay City, if we are currently attacking the towns outside of them and cutting off their supply lines, besieging them instead of fighting, Mandalay will not be supplied with food and ammunition and will naturally not be defeated."

"Naturally, you don't know how many people in the palace are suffering. It is them who are suffering, and it is our people who are bullied. Do you feel distressed?"

Thacker replied somberly, even the latter sentence was extremely vicious.

"Recover Mandalay and fight to the south!"

"Kill the people of Geely from the Miandian Temple and rescue those suffering people."

"Kill all auspicious people, General Sa is great!"

Thacker's moral kidnapping remarks made the Miandian crowd behind him angry, and they kept clamoring. Some people even looked at Zuo Zongtang's eyes faintly.

This makes Sack a little smug.

"Okay! General Sa really deserves to be the grandson of the old handsome, and he can come up with such a good plan!"

"Now I appoint you as the chief military officer, and all the rebels will be dispatched by you."

"We must regain lost ground and save thousands of people from the fire and water!"

Jiang Kuo was also infected by this atmosphere and said impassionedly.After speaking, he looked at Zuo Zongtang.

He was just the highest leader of the rebel army, and the Qing Dynasty was still under Zuo Zongtang's command. He hoped that Zuo Zongtang could set off with him.

"Prince forgive me! My army has been fighting for days, and it needs to be repaired, and the domestic ammunition has not been replenished. It is not appropriate to open it immediately!"

"Your Royal Highness, if you want to go, I can support a batch of guns and ammunition seized from the Gili Army,"

After speaking, Zuo Zongtang turned and left.

Some people are going to die by themselves. He will not take the lives of their soldiers.In his opinion, this 100,000 army can't even beat a division of the Geely nation.

"Old General!"

Jiang Kuo was a little stunned. In fact, he did not seem to offend Zuo Zongtang. After all, the previous victories were not fought by the Miandian.Faced with Geely people alone, he was a little guilty.

It's just that Zuo Zongtang drifted away as if he hadn't heard him.

"Bah, you thought it was here?"

"The prince can rest assured that we have a hundred thousand army, and the king is within easy reach."

Sadandu sneered Wang Zuo Zongtang's spit in the direction and turned to face Jiangkuo.Bashan Academy www.83shu.com

"Okay! It's up to General Sa to arrange it!"

Jiang Kuo looked at Thacker, and then at the rebel army, regaining confidence.

Zuo Zongtang left in a hurry. He was not showing up, he was going to send a telegram to Wang Guangxu. After all, if he really didn’t care about this Miandian Rebel army at all, he swears that the Geely army only needs to touch a 20,000 ordinary army. The reorganizer can defeat it.

Wang Guangxu's reply was simple, pay attention to the unity of the tribe, try not to abandon the friendly army, and will suffer from the fate of the foreign monarch, and put the lives of the soldiers of the country as the most important.

Zuo Zongtang understands that these two seemingly contradictory sentences are not contradictory.

If the capital of the Mandalay Palace is taken, the front can be pushed forward, linking Lajong and Mongolia, and building a front, attackable, retreatable and defendable with Mandalay as the arrow. This is of strategic significance. .

And the rejuvenation of the royal capital of the Miandian people can also boost the morale of the Miandian soldiers and civilians and help gather people's hearts.

However, the occupation of Mandalay will also expose the empire's army to the sight of the Gili people, changing from a mobile war to a fortified battle, and in the absence of heavy firepower, it is bound to increase casualties.

The roads in the north are winding and winding, and there are even no roads in some places. The heavy equipment of the Geely people cannot enter at all. The deep valleys and dense jungles are hunting grounds for the imperial army.

He has been holding firmly the feast that the Fifth Division did not understand is the feast for the Geely people, the feast that broke their teeth, and they will reap the lives of the Geely people ruthlessly.The original Fifth Division was prepared to deal with the local troops coming from Geely.

Only with such a blow can they completely feel heartache. The impact of the loss of the native troops is definitely more than five or even ten times the loss of the colonial division.

But now that he turned to a tough battle, his previous hiding lost its meaning.

I'm not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.The Miandian Rebels are the perfect pig opponent.

"If it weren't for you to be my vassal of the Qing Dynasty, Lao Tzu would never care about your life or death!"

"Fine! It's best to win Mandalay. If you can't, you can withdraw as soon as possible. If their reinforcements are too strong, they still have to withdraw to fight guerrilla warfare!"

Zuo Zongtang uttered a rare swear word and finally made a decision.

In his opinion, since he belongs to the country, it is considered as a citizen of half a tribe, and there is still a certain gap between the pig and dog in the emperor’s mouth, and the emperor’s reply can also tell this point, pay attention to the influence, but the latter is based on the national The importance of soldiers also indicates that they can be abandoned at a critical juncture.

Unlike the tension on the Miandian side, the country is indeed full of busy scenes.

The slogan "build roads if you want to get rich!" spread all over the country.

The official roads were refurbished, and the original pits and mud roads were chaotic and paved with stones.Even cement roads have been built between several important cities.

In addition to cement roads, railways are more important. All previous railways were built by foreign engineers, and those who were powerful even started a war for the right to build roads.

Even they have to quarrel about this, because the convenience of the railway is the place where the goods can reach quickly, and it is also the place where their influence can extend.

But now, we must take the initiative to start building the railway.

Temporary Tianyou was also picked up by Wang Guangxu from Xu Guangqi and placed in the position of Director of Railway Department under the Ministry of Industry...
