Chapter 25: Restoration

"Mr. Su, what you said just now is willing to help me take back Huanggang, but is this true?" Situ Biao said these words hesitantly, but Situ Biao's heart was full of desire.

"What my Highness said is naturally true. His Highness King Jin was originally in Heshuo, Jinzhong was restored. His Highness King Jin can now settle in Jinzhong. Huanggang can't dominate and not return it, right? This is a matter that my Highness can't intervene, but if His Highness King Xiang proposes it, it is legitimate. My Highness can also help His Highness recover Huanggang in the name of assisting His Highness King Xiang." Su Qin was secretly amused in his heart. The other party's desire to swallow Huanggang was exposed, but it also hindered the superficial reputation. Unlike a brother who was a famous person who wanted to be a bitch and a archway.

"Mr. Su, let's open the skylight and speak out. Your Highness is really willing to help me take back Huanggang. I am not a person who doesn't understand etiquette. If I need my support, I will never postpone it." Before Baling returned, Situ Biao was already thinking about Huanggang.

"Haha, Your Highness is really quick to speak. Before Su Qin came here, my Highness had already told Su Qin to clearly express his attitude to Your Highness. However, Your Highness also knows the character of my Highness. It is better to ask Your Highness to personally or send reliable people to negotiate with Your Highness in person. However, it is not too late to discuss all this after the end of Baling's battle." Su Qin smiled slightly.

"That's natural, but everything in Baling is under my control. Now there is only one corps of Maqi Khan in Baling. I have four divisions in my hands, plus the assistance of one of your divisions. If I can't take Baling, then I don't have to talk about regaining Huanggang." Situ Biao said proudly. He had planned the Baling incident for a long time, and Su Qin came to join forces this time just to go with the flow. Even if there is no help from Xijiang, it will be a matter of time before Baling is released. Of course, it is even more unsuccessful to have the other party help.

"Haha, then Su Qin is waiting for the good news." Su Qin knew that the Maqi Khan who guarded Baling City was not as simple as he imagined. The combat effectiveness of this corps was stronger due to his command. If he wanted to take Baling City in one fell swoop, these four divisions would probably have to pay a hard price. Although it is imagined that there should be a secret son arranged by Situ Biao in Baling City, after all, this is an inherent lord of the Tanghe people. The short-term occupation of the Maqi Khan could not eradicate this influence. However, Situ Biao's matriarchal family has deep-rooted potential in the Wuhu area, including Baling.

When the sound of arrows sounded again outside the cabin, Su Qin guessed that the latest battle report must have arrived. Perhaps the sneaking Situ Biao army had arrived at the designated location, and the Battle of Baling was about to begin. As expected, the intelligence submitted by the intelligence officer proved this. Four divisions had arrived at the important ferry terminal between Wenning and Baling, Baijiaji, which was less than 80 miles away from Baling Mansion City. It only takes one day to land from abandoned ships to reach Baling City. Now it is unnecessary and unlikely to cover up the whereabouts. The Maqi Khans' horses and patrol boats will soon find problems, and the navy can also start from Kewenning along the waterway and launch an attack on the Baling North Gate Waterway from the north.

Looking at the battle report presented, a red tide ignited on Situ Biao's face: "Tell me the order of my king, go west with all my might, take me Baling City, and those who are the first to enter the city will be rewarded with two thousand gold coins! The first to enter the city brigade will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins, and the captain will be promoted to the captain of the regiment! The first to enter the city brigade will be rewarded with 30,000 gold coins, and the captain will be promoted to the commander of the division! The commander of the division will be promoted to the deputy commander of the army! Those who dare to slacke in the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"

Looking at the burning city walls and houses, Bi Xiao's eyes were almost bleeding. Was Baling City just falling into his hands? At this moment, his heart was full of despair and frustration. Could it be that he was really so bad. From Wen Ning to Baling, the Khanate went through a lot of hardships and paid countless prices to slid from the Tanghe people again? He was really unwilling to accept it. But in this situation, no one expected that the performance of Li Wufeng's army in the west was just a cover, and the real attack came from Situ Biao, a bastard! The uncontrollable rebellion in the city also caught Bi Xiao off guard. The Tang people who were usually fond of eyebrow suddenly turned into a fierce rebel. Not only did they create chaos everywhere in the city, but they also continued to attack the garrison. The entire Baling City immediately fell into chaos.

Bi Xiao did not expect that Situ Biao's army would have such a fanatical and fierce army. His desperate attack and high fighting spirit were even shocked by Bi Xiao. Li Wufeng's army's performance outside the west gate was also wonderful. A large number of advanced siege equipment could not stop their offensive even if they were separated by moats, especially the opponent's sulli-arm bombs made Bi Xiao still frightened when he thought about it.

"Your Highness, we must evacuate, otherwise we will never be able to leave again." The officer next to him was so anxious that his mouth was almost blistered. His stubborn prince was too difficult to persuade him. His tough temper even gave him three points. Except for His Majesty and Lord Lei, almost no one could make him surrender. If Lord Lei had not given him the power to act cheaply, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"I will never leave. Even if I die, I will die on the top of Baling City!" Bi Xiao glared at him, and pulled out the knife in his hand and roared: "My sons, come with me and prove the courage of our Maqikhan warriors to the people of Tanghe!"

Seeing the other party being so powerful, the officer beside him winked at the two soldiers beside him helplessly. A sack suddenly put Bi Xiao in from behind. The waist knife in his hand was also snatched off by the other party quickly. He was pressed to the ground by the other party. Bi Xiao's roar came from the sack: "Babi, you traitor, what do you want to do? You have to commit the crime!"

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. Babi is ordered by Lord Lei, so he must ensure his safety. Baling is about to fall. Your Highness must leave first and fall into the hands of the Tanghe people. We, Maqihan, will be in big trouble!" We smiled bitterly and shook our heads. The officer waved his hand. The two soldiers immediately raised the sack. No matter how many screams and scolds came from the sack, they immediately joined the retreating soldiers and retreated to the point of no need.

On October 12, 698, the mainland Gregorian calendar, after three days of bloody battles, Baling Prefecture City was restored, and the people in the city sang and danced. Gentlemen and merchants burned incense and fired cannons, and welcomed the coalition forces of the Xiang King and the Qin King into the city.

Just when Situ Biao's army of more than 60,000 bravely recaptured Baling City, the Western Xinjiang army gathered in Myanmar also began to gradually enter the countdown of the war. In addition to the five divisions of the Fourth Legion, the Engineer Soldier Division had already entered southern Mugal in advance and started its initial operations. The hot climate in southern Myanmar made it difficult for many soldiers to adapt. Fortunately, the combat readiness department had made it sufficient preparations and considerations. A large number of epidemic prevention, insect prevention, heat prevention drugs and clothing arrived in Mugal in advance. As soon as the Engineer Soldier arrived in Mugal, he changed his clothes completely. Applied anti-worm medicine and breathable clothing could effectively improve work efficiency and reduce non-combat damage. However, the geographical environment in southern Myanmar was too complicated. Although the Engineer Soldiers opened the way day and night, the progress was still not satisfactory.

Seeing that the two Burmese divisions of the Fourth Legion and one Mao and the Shahe divisions had quickly moved south, one by one, one by one, rushed down, and forced the commander of the Fifth Division of the Third Legion to go on the battlefield and supervise himself. The two corps went on the battlefield at the same time to open the road and build bridges, while the other two corps rested. One corps was used as an emergency, and five corps took turns to fight, but even so, the speed of advancement in a day was still less than twenty kilometers. Such progress made Wu Feng anxious. At this speed, it would take at least twelve to fifteen days to open up this dense forest area, and there could not be any other accidents in the meantime.

However, Wufeng didn't care much at this time. With the speed of the Fourth Legion, it only took one week to arrive. Within one week, the engineering troops must complete 80% of the established engineering volume so as not to delay the planned combat plan. Faced with Wufeng's death order personally, the engineering troops had to increase their efforts day and night, and Luman also recruited a group of Burmese laborers in southern Myanmar to pay heavy rewards to help the engineering troops improve their progress.

Following the Fourth Legion's southward to Myanmar, the two divisions of the Fifth Legion also accelerated their speed into Tiannan from Bashan. Such a large-scale military mobilization could no longer be concealed. The eyes and attention of the surrounding forces finally slowly turned from Sanjiang and Tiannan to Myanmar. At this time, there was no meaning of keeping confidentiality or concealing strategic purpose.

While the engineering troops were working hard, the Third Division of the First Legion led by Shanyao had already penetrated deeply into the Great Hengduan Mountains and advanced wildly southward along the steep and rugged foothills of the Great Hengduan Mountains.

As the second batch of officers trained by the Gaoyue tribe, Shan Yao's qualifications are second only to Shanzhu, and the same as Xiong Daoyuan and Shuizheng. As a Shanyue from Jinzhou, Shan Yao was sent to the academy on the first day of its establishment. Two years of study allowed Shan Yao to truly realize how crude the concept of war was in his mind, and also gave him a comprehensive understanding of war in the past two years and his understanding of war has also been improved leap forward.

From the captain to the brigade leader to the logistics director to the deputy division commander, and finally becoming the number one figure of the Third Division, Shan Yao took one step at a time, and this time it was the first time that the division was led to the battle, and there was no cooperation from any brother troops, which made Shan Yao deeply feel the great responsibility on his shoulders.
