As Lin Tianhong and Liu Renhou fled, the soldiers of the 2nd division suddenly collapsed like a dam.
The cleaning of the battlefield continued until late at night. The soldiers of the 2nd Division of Sichuan Army seemed to have lost their souls. They didn't know where they came from or where they were going...
These soldiers couldn't understand why the elite 2nd division in Western Sichuan would suffer so many setbacks when they attacked Guangyi County!
The opposing troops had a terrifying number of heavy machine guns. As night fell, the air was still filled with the thick smell of blood. It was mixed with the smoke of artillery shells. The flames roasted the ground, making it especially eye-catching in the dark night.。
"Captain, what about these captives?？”
"Find someone to guard it. If you can surrender, then surrender!!”
A few thousand captives was more than the entire Independent Regiment. Guangyi did not have such a large place to hold all of them.
"Those who can't surrender will be pulled to the mines in the Panhua area and trained for a few months.。”
After training in Flower Climbing for a few months, or to be more precise, after staying in Guangyi for a few months, Li Yao was absolutely confident that the captives would be completely conquered by the Independent Regiment. By then, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment would explode again.
"It's a pity that we couldn't catch Lin Tianhong and Liu Renhou. Those two old fellows ran away early, so our brothers couldn't catch them either!”
" It's useless to capture a defeated general. One day, we will personally attack Rong City. Lin Tianhong and Liu Renhou are just a small interlude…"
Li Yao's eyes were not only on Rong City but also on Western Sichuan and the entire southwest. He was going to be the king of the southwest in this space and time and compete with the remaining Great Qian Dynasty.
Liu Zhang was very satisfied with this result. The regiment commander made a prompt decision and forced the 2nd division to stop. Most importantly, the losses of the independent regiment were also very light, except for the serious consumption of ammunition.
"Regiment Commander, after we defeated Lin Tianhong this time, I reckon that Rong City will be very honest this year. The independent regiment can develop in peace, and our Guangyi's development can also be accelerated.。”
.............................................................
"Liu Zhang, in the next war, I hope that the Independent Regiment, no, it should be the Independent Division, can extend the tentacles of war to the foot of Rong City. The entire Western Sichuan has mountains, rivers, minerals, forests, vast natural resources, and a population of 50 million. This is an independent geographical unit. Once we control the entire Western Sichuan, we can use the power of Western Sichuan to develop industries, improve the people's livelihood, and nurture technology. So what if we compete with the countries of Xi Yuan?？”
Hearing Li Yao's words, Liu Zhang's heart was in turmoil. Was his regiment commander so ambitious to contend for hegemony with the superpowers?？？
Even Fusang, a rising star, made the entire Great Gan feel deeply powerless, not to mention those old and powerful countries. Each of them was not something that the Nanbei Governor-General could contend against.
" Just wait and see. Guangyi will enter the explosive stage soon. The first level is already done…"
It could be foreseen that after this battle, the Sichuan army, which had suffered a huge loss in combat strength, would not be able to go south for a short period of time. Even if Lin Tianhong dared to go south again, he would have to carefully consider the counterattack of the independent regiment.
A teacher?
Two divisions?
The strength that the independent regiment had displayed was enough to make any Governor of the southwest worry. No matter who it was, if they wanted to take down Guangyi, they would have to fight a fierce battle with the independent regiment.
Perhaps Lin Tianhong could use all his strength to defeat the Independent Regiment, but in the end, he would suffer heavy losses. Once Western Sichuan suffered a huge internal conflict, Southern Yunnan and even Northern China might take the opportunity to occupy Western Sichuan.
Therefore, Lin Tianhong, who had suffered a loss before, would definitely settle this score in his heart.
The Independent Regiment needed more time to develop than any other governor.
The steel factory, rapid-fire mountain cannon, research center, soap stockings, expansion of the independent regiment…These development plans would all be in place in 1691. Once completed, Guangyi's strength would further increase. The entire Western Sichuan, or rather, the entire Southwest, would be under the influence of Guangyi.
Guangyi, who had established a primary industry, would have a war reserve force that could not be mentioned in the same breath…
"In a few days, let the brothers in the independent regiment take turns to rest for a few days…"
The next day, when the sun slowly rose from the horizon in the east, Guangyi County seemed to have returned to its usual busy state. Even the war alert state had been cancelled last night.
Liu Xiang, who woke up early, had already prepared breakfast. He was going to the bookstore to start a new day. Last night, the sound of cannons and gunfire outside the city made him so excited that he couldn't sleep. He needed to go to the bookstore to see if there were any books about war. He needed to learn how to be an excellent soldier.
However, at 11 p. m., the gunshots finally stopped. Everyone in the city knew that the Independent Regiment was building a defense line outside the city. They heard that it was an army from Rong City. However, no one had any sense of belonging to Rong City.
Guangyi City was developing so quickly. It was all thanks to Li Yao. Therefore, everyone hoped that Li Yao would win and that the Independent Regiment would win a great battle.
This way, they could have a good life and not be exploited by others…
Liu Xiang suddenly understood why everyone was speaking well of Li Yao, including Bao 'er, his grandfather, and even himself. They were all grateful to the leader of the Independent Regiment whom they had never met before.
Indeed, it was because Li Yao had brought them tangible benefits.。
There were many people gathered at the city gate today. It seemed that there were notices posted again.
"A few days ago, the Independent Regiment received news that Rong City's 2nd Infantry Division was going to attack Guangyi from the south to seize the fruits of Guangyi's development. The Zheng, Wu, and Xu families had already been punished for betraying Guangyi. At the same time, yesterday night, Guangyi's protection force and the Independent Regiment used the fortifications to fight for a few hours and successfully defeated Rong City's 2nd Infantry Division!!”
" Li Yao, the leader of the Independent Regiment, has issued an order personally. The purpose of establishing the Independent Regiment is to protect Guangyi and the fruits of our common development. Any enemy who invades will be resisted by the Independent Regiment!!”
"From today onwards, in order to adapt to the new round of development of Guangyi, Guangyi County will abolish the original agricultural tax and reduce the commercial tax. At the same time, the county will take the lead to establish the Guangyi Chamber of Commerce and continue to open factories to provide more jobs!!”
