Chapter 1262 The Three Armies Encircle Jiangling City
Chapter 1262 The three armies encircled Jiangling City
Once Yue Fei has prepared everything, his next target will definitely be Jiangling City.
For this battle, Liu Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang had accumulated enough grain and grass, as well as city defense equipment and a series of other supplies.
Moreover, following Yang Jian's lesson when his grain and grass were burned by fire, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu did not place the grain and grass in one place, but set up four granaries to place them separately.
Zhu Yuanzhang's goal was to turn Jiangling City into a millstone of flesh and blood and make the Jin army pay a heavy price here.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also needs to make some other preparations, that is, regarding his retreat. Once Jiangling City is attacked by Yue Fei in the future, he must be able to ensure that he can escape unscathed.
A person like Zhu Yuanzhang would never involve himself in other people's affairs. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare enough back-ups in advance.
……………………
In half a month, within this half month, Wu Qi and Qin Qiong have arrived one after another. As a result, under Jiangling City, even if the surrendered troops are not counted, the regular Jin army alone has reached
A quantity of one hundred thousand.
And within this half time, when Liu Yu and Wu Han resisted to the end and all the captured people after the city was broken were slaughtered, the previous county magistrates of Nanjun were already wavering.
They no longer dared to hold on any longer, and opened the door one by one to accept surrender.
The grades of these small county magistrates were not high, and most of them had limited loyalty to Liu Xiu. They could not risk the lives of their entire family to be loyal to Liu Xiu.
Moreover, the two consecutive killings of prisoners, deliberately spread by the floating room, caused an uproar in the hearts of the garrison in each county. Especially these soldiers were just new recruits, and endless panic was in their hearts.
Spread in the heart.
If those county magistrates and garrison officials refused to open the city and surrender, I'm afraid these soldiers would blow up the camp. By then, the final fate of those county magistrates would definitely be even worse.
Nowadays, in the entire Nanjun, except for the last and most important Jiangling City, the remaining cities have at least nominally belonged to the Jin Army, and only a small part needs the Jin Army to send troops to take over.
Not only Nanjun, but also many cities in Jiangxia took the initiative to surrender. Regarding this matter, Li Mu, who was in charge of this area, was both happy and worried.
It is naturally a joyful thing to be able to defeat these cities without any blood. This virtually saves a lot of unnecessary loss of troops. After all, siege warfare has always been the project with the highest casualties.
However, it was finally his turn to lead the army, but before a formal battle was fought, all this happened. This made Li Mu, who had already thought of a series of battle plans, many of his plans still have to go.
It was aborted before it even started.
Moreover, the surrender of these cities was due to Yue Fei and Zhang Liang, and this final credit had nothing to do with Li Mu.
After the three groups of troops merged, Qin Qiong's group suffered heavy losses, but Wu Qi's group fought more and more, and their strength increased significantly.
After the Chu army's newly recruited soldiers surrendered, Wu Qi did not waste them, nor did he dislike the lack of combat effectiveness of these recruits. Instead, he recruited them all.
In the end, the entire Nanjun was reorganized with 40,000 Chu army recruits. It can be seen that Liu Xiu really made great efforts to fight against the Jin army. Those who died in the battle, plus those reorganized by Wu Qi, and still
For the part in Liu Xiu's hands, Liu Xiu recruited more than 100,000 recruits during this period of time.
It's a pity that although Liu Xiu recruited so many new soldiers, due to the scheming of Yue Fei and Zhang Liang, it did not produce the effect Liu Xiu wanted to see. In fact, these people have even taken advantage of the Jin army now.
It can be of certain help to the Jin army's next move.
The reason why Wu Qi wanted to reorganize these people was that the previous surrendered troops were almost exhausted, with only less than 10,000 left. It was really necessary to add a batch to replace the subsequent consumption of the Jin army.
.
Moreover, the previous batch of surrendered troops were mainly barbarians, and barbarians accounted for the vast majority. But in the next Jiangling City, these surrendered troops will be dealt with including barbarians. I am afraid that these people
It's not that useful anymore.
Secondly, in Wu Qi's view, real combat is the best training method for a soldier. Therefore, Wu Qi also wanted to use this battle to hone these Chu army recruits.
As long as these people can survive this battle, the prototype of a strong army will already be there.
……………………
Jiangling Camp.
In a huge tent, Yue Fei was the leader, and dozens of generals including Wu Qi, Qin Qiong, Chang Yuchun, Li Cunxiao, Huang Feihu, Yue Lun, and Huang Tianxiang were arranged on both sides.
Except for a few generals such as Li Mu and Huang Tianhua in Jiangxia, the generals of the Jin army in northern Jing are basically concentrated here this time. Since the war, the generals of the Jin army have rarely been so concentrated.
Inside the big tent, most of the generals up and down were beaming with joy. These people had either made contributions during this battle and would have their share of the merits after the war, or they had made great contributions during the war.
I made a fortune and got some oil and water.
When the water is clear, there are no fish. It is not uncommon to make a fortune from the enemy during a battle. It can even be said to be a very common phenomenon. As for the money and food seized by the soldiers, they
It is normal to withhold part of the money privately when handing it over.
Most of the princes basically don't care about this kind of thing, and basically turn a blind eye. As long as they don't violate some bottom lines and don't cause some bad consequences, what kind of benefits can these generals really get?
This is also their ability.
After all, how much would these generals have if they relied solely on their salaries? They must take advantage of the war to make some money from other places.
Yue Fei, who was in charge, nodded from time to time. If they fought well in the next battle, the Jingbei battlefield would be coming to an end, and only some finishing work would be left!
If Jingbei can really be captured, he, the governor of Jingzhou, will not be as nameless as before.
At least, by the time it was about to be captured, Yue Fei, the Governor of Jingzhou, had already been half-taken. As for the remaining half, it was naturally Jingnan that had not yet been taken.
