Jiangxia, when the news of Wancheng's fall reached here, all the generals, big and small, had already exploded.
Nanyang, this is the most fortified county in northern Jing, but this county was lost to them so easily.
Even during this process, they had almost no backhand power, and Yue Fei dominated the entire process.
In fact, although Yue Fei was powerful, Liu Xiu and the others in Jingbei were not vegetarians. The main reason why this happened was that Yue Fei had the absolute upper hand.
Taking the lead one step at a time, Yue Fei took control of the entire battle. He used Fancheng to force Liu Xiu to the south of the Han River, and used his big hand to attack with light cavalry to disrupt Jiangxia, forcing Liu Xiu to be unable to provide assistance to Nanyang. Yue Fei could
Concentrating superior forces to attack Wancheng with all their strength, this resulted in today's situation.
"Zhonghua died, and I lost an arm with great sadness!" Liu Xiu was filled with grief and anger, and even became so angry that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
When the news about Wancheng came, Liu Xiu could hardly control his emotions at that time. He forced himself back to his tent, avoided Zhu Yuanzhang and others, and waited until only a few of his own were left.
Only then did he vent his grief and anger.
Sometimes, occasionally showing your emotional side in front of your subordinates will deepen your connection with your subordinates and increase their loyalty.
"My lord, my condolences, Jingbei still needs my lord, my lord must cheer up!" Wu Han said with red eyes.
In the battle of Nanyang, the Chu army really lost too much. They lost the most important territory to them, countless loyal ministers and good generals, and even nearly half of their troops.
This battle also made the people in Jingbei truly realize how powerful Yue Fei was.
Among the six major governors of the Jin army, Yue Fei did not have as profound military exploits as Bai Qi and Su Lie, did not have the blockbusters of Li Jing and Xue Rengui, and did not have the merits of Meng Tian who had guarded the border for more than ten years and made the border peaceful.
But this battle in Nanyang also allowed the world to see that Yue Fei's talents were not inferior to those of other major governors of the Jin army. After seizing the upper hand, he firmly controlled the trend of the entire battlefield in his own hands.
, so that the Chu army could only act passively in the end!
Moreover, the Jiangxia War did not go smoothly. Although Liu Yu's Queyue Formation did allow them to win a few games, it is just that there is no invincible formation in this world!
Queyue Formation is indeed quite powerful. The cooperation between navy, infantry, and chariots, under the command of Liu Yu, the peerless peak commander, not only fights with infantry, but also with weak infantry.
Superior cavalry.
However, the limitations of this formation are also very large. The conditions that constitute the "Queyue Formation" are slightly complicated, including geographical conditions, weapons, arms and troop allocation.
In terms of geographical conditions alone, the Queyue Formation needs to be deployed along the river to ensure the safety of the rear and flanks of the "Queyue Formation" without having to worry about being surrounded by enemy troops.
Naturally, Yang Dayan, Xiao Siwen, A Shu and others did not have much research on formations. Huo Qubing and Wang Baobao were not good at this aspect either.
However, Huo Qubing was accompanied by a great military strategist, Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang, who was able to play such advanced gadgets as the Eight Formation Diagrams, was naturally good at researching formations.
Although Zhuge Liang was still young at this time and had just reached his prime, it can only be said that Wolong is worthy of being Wolong...
After sending troops to test several times, although Zhuge Liang did not find a way to defeat the Queyue Formation head-on, he keenly discovered the limitations of the Queyue Formation!
Since you can't defeat him head-on, just avoid him!
Besides, Queyue Formation is ultimately based on infantry. Although it can indeed deal with cavalry, it cannot erase the gap in mobility between the two sides and can only wait for the cavalry to take the initiative to attack.
However, although they have a way to deal with Queyue Formation, with the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang's 100,000 troops, Ah Shu, Huo Qubing and others can only proceed with caution. After all, their first task is not to destroy the enemy, but to
It is to disturb the enemy.
Therefore, here in Jiangxia, both sides have no way to defeat each other. Ah Shu and Huo Qubing come and go like the wind, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu cannot capture the opportunity at all!
"Where are the soldiers and horses of the King of Shu now?" Liu Xiu put back the grief and anger in his heart and asked with a trace of ugliness on his face.
Sending troops from Shu was not as convenient as sending troops from Yangzhou, and Liu Che received the news a few days later than Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang's troops had been in place for several days, Yang Su's
But still on the road.
"My lord, the troops of the King of Shu passed through Yiling and arrived at Nanjun a few days ago. I think they should be able to arrive in a few days!" Liu Ye replied aloud.
In the past few years, as Liu Xiu overcame Liu Yu and ascended to the throne of Chu King, becoming the new master of Jingbei, the original centrists no longer persisted and fell into the arms of Liu Xiu one after another, and Liu Ye was one of them.
.
Liu Xiu still attached great importance to Liu Ye. After all, he was a member of the old Liu family, and he did not have the ambition of Liu Yu, so he was born to be close to him. Moreover, Liu Ye was not a bastard from the Han clan.
But he has his own real talent and learning.
"That's good!" Liu Xiucai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Yizhou's troops and horses were about to arrive.
After Yue Fei conquered Nanyang, the next step must be Xiangyang or Jiangxia. If Liu Che's troops were not available, Liu Xiu really didn't have much confidence.
After all, without the Yizhou soldiers and horses, they would not be able to gain an advantage in military strength, even without counting the opponent's huge number of cavalry.
In fact, just as Liu Xiu thought, after Yue Fei conquered Nanyang, he moved towards Xiangyang and Jiangxia. However, instead of concentrating his forces to capture one place like Liu Xiu wanted, he divided his forces into two groups, one main
One step at a time.
Moreover, Yue Fei did not ignore Nanyang's defense while taking the next step forward. Although the fight between Yuan Shu and Zhao Kuangyin was lively, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
Yue Fei led an army of 100,000 troops directly to Jiangxia alone, while Xie An was left to lead an army of 10,000 troops and sit in Nanyang.
Now, Xie An's 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus Nanxiang Feng Yi's 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the surrendered troops, are enough for Nanyang at this moment.
The number of these surrendered troops was quite large. There were a total of 20,000 surrendered troops from Nanxiang, Wancheng, Fancheng, and bits and pieces from other Nanyang counties.
If this group of surrendered troops had not been broken up and reorganized, and their families had not been centralized and taken care of, and supplemented with inducements, otherwise, this group of surrendered troops would not have been so useful.
