Chapter 80 Our Lady of White Lotus

 “Boom…”

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

“………”

Just as he was stunned, Truchen's two Bogdas and the rotating turrets above the six Batulus began to show their power. The altitude of just over 100 meters was really relaxed and pleasant for the twelve centimeter cannons that raised the elevation angle. Moreover, they did not want to know where the enemy was, but instead aimed at the entire camp in all directions!

Yang Yuchun's landlord's mansion was located at the foot of the mountain. The soldiers quickly escorted him there. They originally thought that the cannons would not be able to be fired here, but with a loud bang, a shell fell into the courtyard!

Yang Yuchun was stunned, but he was experienced in many battles after all. In the past, the Qing army used a lot of artillery when attacking Xichuan chieftains. He was no stranger to him, so he quickly calmed down.

"When did the enemy ship arrive?"

"Half an hour ago, it's going to be dark soon"

"Oh?"

In his mind, the enemy would always stop when it was dark. Moreover, he saw that the artillery was fired from the only turret on the ship. It was not easy to cover the entire camp with eight cannons?

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he issued an order immediately.

"Tell me, don't panic. There are not many artillery items that the enemy can shoot here. Moreover, the water flows in the river is very fast, and the ships cannot keep steady. Listen, once you hear the cannon sound, you will immediately hide in the cellar of the house. I want to see how many shells and gunpowder they have to waste"

At this time, he obviously hadn't heard of naval professional terms such as "jingbo" and "heavy anchor".

But he guessed it well, and it soon became dark and the cannon sound stopped.

It was dawn the next day, and the cannons on Truchen warship roared again!

This time the gun density was obviously more intense than yesterday. It turned out that the Truchens also used the heavy mortars arranged on the first deck. Although they could not hit the mountain, they could still hit the waterside.

The shelling lasted for half a day!

Half a day later, the entire camp was in ruins. It seemed that the Truqins did not let the ships fixed to bombard them somewhere, but kept changing their positions. After half a day, there was no intact house in the entire Xiangxi Town.

Although the chieftain soldiers followed Yang Yuchun's instructions and spent the past half day in the cellar, as the house collapsed, many soldiers were still killed and injured, which made Yang Yuchun start to fear.

When he was covered in dust and covered in dust, he looked at the ruins in front of him and finally gave a new order with gritted teeth.

"Half of the men retreated to Guizhou, and half of the men retreated to the upper reaches of Xiangxi River!"

Amid the continuous fierce artillery fire, the chieftain soldiers began to retreat in panic, and they began to march on the official road leading to Guizhou and Xingshan.

However, most of the things in the world are not going well. They encountered obstacles just halfway through!

The official roads on both sides encountered two low walls!

Now Yang Yuchun finally understood.

"Good thief, they deliberately bombarded before dark. They stopped shortly after the shelling. Then they took advantage of the darkness to sneak up on the Guandao, and then blocked the road to Guizhou and Xingshan!"

It is naturally not easy to touch the official road from the Yangtze River, but there are two Marines on the Truqin warship. In their daily training, it is common to raid a small island without a port. It is not easy to use the darkness to use tiger claws to strode the official road, then build low walls and occupy the commanding heights near the official roads on both sides.

Then it would be natural for a regiment of soldiers to touch the road opened up by the Marine Corps.

However, since the enemy saw Zhenzhang, Yang Yuchun, who was used to traveling through the mountains, calmed down.

"Everything scatters, enters the mountains, and deals with the enemy!"

Mountain warfare is what this chieftain soldier is best at. He believes that no one can beat him.

However, he obviously underestimated the combat power of the Truqin army. With his retreat, the Truqin army of another regiment had already reached the camp. Since the two roads in front were blocked, he had no way out!

A battle began near Xiangxi Town, and the movement would not end in a while.

Recruiting the State.

The sound of cannons in Xiangxi Town has already alarmed the White Lotus Cult here.

Four Batulus had already arrived here. After a burst of shelling, the Truqin army quickly occupied the dock.

Kang Xiaozhong and a woman were escorted by about one hundred soldiers and stepped onto the stone steps entering Guizhou City.

This woman is naturally Lian'er who used to perform in Yichang Prefecture City. Her full name is Wang Lian'er. She is the nominal leader of various White Lotus Rebel Army and the sister of the great leader Wang Cong'er.

Previously, in the county government compound, the two were having a fierce quarrel over the current situation.

A young and beautiful woman who looks less than twenty years old is Wang Cong'er, the concubine of Qi Lin, the former Archbishop of the White Lotus Sect. Another middle-aged man wearing a white dress and wearing a white turban is Yao Zhifu, the chief general of the Dongfang Elder, Wang Cong'er.

Strangely, Yao Zhifu was sitting in the only big chair in the hall, and was named the head of the White Lotus Sect, but the lotus Virgin, who was admired by everyone, stood.

The situation is very clear. Wang Cong'er is just the person Yao Zhifu pushed in front of the stage. He himself is the real leader!

Look at that expression, maybe Wang Cong'er has become Yao Zhifu's woman!

What religion, what kind of Virgin Mary is not worth mentioning in front of naked strength. Wang Cong'er was just Qi Lin's fourth concubine before. What qualifications could she have to command tens of thousands of White Lotus Sects?

It’s nothing more than what the White Lotus Sect is to follow the old mother without birth. In order to cater to this gender, they need to find a “saint” to be the representative of the old mother in the world.

The key to the two quarrels just now was:

After learning about the White Lotus Sect of Changyang, Wang Cong'er thought that he would just follow the Truqin people and farm honestly when he went to Nanyang, but Yao Zhifu believed that with the arrival of the Truqin people, the rebel army had a great opportunity to counterattack the Qing army.

If the Truqins defeated Yang Yuchun from Xiangxi Town, the remaining Qing troops would still have a chance to defeat him if they fought.

If it is really achieved, then his next goal is Chongqing Prefecture City, then slowly conquer the Chengdu Plain, and finally Sichuan established a country composed entirely of White Lotus Sects!

As for the Truqins, it seems that they like population, just give them some in Chongqing Prefecture.

The two were arguing, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a sound came.

"The Virgin, Elder, the Truchens are here"

Yao Zhifu quickly got up from the chair, then shook his eyes to Wang Cong'er, signaling her to sit up, while she stood respectfully.

Kang Xiaozhong and Wang Lian'er came in soon. Wang Lian'er hadn't seen his sister for several years. As soon as he came in, he shouted: "Sister!"

Yao Zhifu, who was beside her, immediately gave her a sharp look, and Wang Lian'er quickly changed her words and shouted: "I have seen the Virgin, the Great Elder, this is the general of the Truqin Empire."

Kang Xiaozhong said lightly: "I am Kang Xiaozhong, the chief executive and commander of the governor of the Hexian Town of the Empire, under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Empire,"

Yao Zhifu and others didn't know what Hexian Town and Ryukyu were, so they could only say casually: "I've seen the General"

Wang Cong'er was still sitting, so naturally he was a little restless. Even Wang Lian'er didn't know her relationship with Yao Zhifu. There were two rows of chairs on both sides of the hall. At that moment, Kang Xiaozhong, Wang Lian'er and Tuo Guang, who had seen Yao Zhifu, all sat down.

At that time, Yao Zhifu, as a representative of the White Lotus Sect, greeted Kang Xiaozhong and others, but thanked him for coming to save Yunyun. Kang Xiaozhong was also a show-off. However, as Truqin's intelligence manager in Huguang, this was the first time Tuo Guang met the legendary Archbishop of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Cong'er, who was regarded as the Virgin of the White Lotus by the church.

Originally, they thought that Wang Cong'er was in charge of the White Lotus Sect, but since they came in, Wang Cong'er, who was sitting high on the chair, has been silent.

"Is it to maintain the mystery of the White Lotus Sect? Or is it the guise that Yao Zhifu introduced?"

When the two sides met for the first time, they obviously would not discuss the future development issues in depth. Wang Lian'er had not seen her sister for several years, and was eager to talk to Wang Cong'er about the family, but was stopped by Yao Zhifu. Before the two sides had talked for a long time, Wang Cong'er withdrew from the hall surrounded by four maids on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Now Tuo Guang fully understands.

"It seems that the White Lotus Sect is the one who is in charge of Yao Zhifu in front of you. Wang Cong'er is just a puppet, but as the nominal leader of the White Lotus Sect, does Wang Cong'er have no confidant?"

When Wang Cong'er retreated, several major figures in the sect came. One of them obviously has the highest status, probably second only to Yao Zhifu. His name is Wang Tingzhao. He is very young and looks like a powerful figure of Kong Wu. This person seems to be quite influential among the White Lotus Sect in Xiangyang.

Even Wang Cong'er, who had already left the hall, came out to say hello when he heard that he had come, but he accepted Wang Tingzhao's visit and then retreated.

"Wang Tingzhao obviously did not know the true relationship between Yao Zhifu and Wang Cong'er"

Seeing this situation, Tuo Guang made another inference.

In the evening, Yao Zhifu hosted Kang Xiaozhong and his group on behalf of the White Lotus Sect. When they were drunk, both sides naturally mentioned future issues.

Yao Zhifu said, "General, if Truqin can help us gain the Qing Dynasty, you will have as many population as you want!"

Kang Xiaozhong frowned and was about to speak, but Wang Tingzhao said, "Great Elder, although Truqin rescued Changyang and defeated Yang Yuchun, the enemy is still strong and we are weak. What we need to consider now is how to avoid its edge, retreat to a place that the Qing army could not take care of, and then prepare for a comeback."

"After these three years of war, I have realized that although Qinggou is abominable, its combat power is far superior to us. If we continue to trap these county towns, it will be destroyed in an instant!"

Tuo Guang thought to himself: "Wang Tingzhao can say such words, which means that his strength among the White Lotus Sect in Xiangyang is not inferior to that of Yao Zhifu. These people are all powerful people. It is probably impossible to fool these people in Changyang with Nuwa Niangmo."

"But the current situation is unclear, so it's better to look for opportunities again"

Then he said, "I am a little tired. I'm very serious. Why not discuss it tomorrow?"
