Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at everyone, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, now that Li Xiang has made preparations, I should go and preside over the Jiangxia war. Jiangxia, Jiangling, and Nanyang are all the gateways to Jingbei. As long as any one of them is opened, I will The coalition forces can then take Xiangyang directly."
"In this case, Nagu also has to prepare to preside over the Jiangling War!"
The strength of Liu Xiu's side was originally far from enough to attack Nanjun, but Zhu Yuanzhang united Xu Shiji's troops with Liu Xiu, and Zhao Kuangyin's navy certainly could not be idle. In this way, he could Jiangxia and Jiangling attacked the southern defense line of Jingbei from two directions.
"What Brother Wu Wang and Brother Chu Wang said is exactly what I want." Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin nodded, stood up and said, "I will see Brother Wu Wang and Brother Chu off."
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu, but Cao Cao also expressed at this time that he would return to the army to prepare for the war.
In fact, Cao Cao was in a very happy mood at this time. Among the three major princes of the Central Plains, Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, and Chi You also attacked Nanyang, an important town in northern Jing Dynasty. However, Zhao Kuangyin attacked from the east of Nanyang, and The relatively weak Cao Cao and Chi You joined forces to attack from the northern front of Nanyang.
Among the Jin army in northern Jing Dynasty, there is no doubt that Yue Fei is the most troublesome figure for them. But since Yue Fei appears here, it means that it is likely that Zhao Kuangyin will face this enemy that troubles them the most. But they are relatively relaxed.
Facing an enemy like Yue Fei, even if he has a superior force, he may still have to bleed a lot if he wants to defeat him.
After sending the group away, Zhao Kuangyin returned to the camp and summoned Shi Shouxin to ask about the result of the battle. However, this result made Zhao Kuangyin feel that his heart was bleeding.
From the beginning when arrows hit the Chinese army, the two sides fired at each other, and then the cavalry and infantry cooperated to charge into battle. After this battle, Zhao Kuangyin lost 5,400 troops. This result made Zhao Kuangyin's heart bleed. The 30,000 troops participating in the war are the elite of Xuzhou's army. They have fought in the north and south, have rich combat experience and strong combat effectiveness.
Zhao Kuangyin thought it would be worthwhile if he could kill Yue Fei's men. But in fact, Yue Fei's battle losses were only a little over two thousand, nearly three times the battle loss ratio. If calculated according to this battle loss ratio, these armies of his, The Jin army had about 40,000 men and he could use them all.
Such a result in the first battle really made Zhao Kuangyin a little disappointed!
If we really fight like this, compared to other princes, their Xuzhou Army will suffer a big loss!
It is possible that Zhao Kuangyin retreated at this time, which is of course even more impossible. If he does not seize this opportunity to eliminate Li Xiang and allows Li Xiang to grow further, when Li Xiang's troops leave the Central Plains one day in the future, Zhao Kuangyin will be able to take advantage of him. Why compete with each other for the top spot? Should their family wash their necks and wait for death?
"Lord, I think it would be easier to attack the city." Zhao Pu, a close adviser, suggested beside Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Pu was not only implanted into Zhao Kuangyin's tribe, but he was also Zhao Kuangyin's earliest counselor. Even Yi Yin, in fact, may not be as good as Zhao Pu in Zhao Kuangyin's heart.
"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Pu in confusion, wondering how he came to such a conclusion.
As the defender of the city, the Jin army had a huge natural advantage. However, they fought in a confused manner in the field battle. If they were to attack the city, the situation would probably be even less optimistic.
While recalling today's battle, Zhao Pu said with a smile: "After all, the space in the city is small. The lord only needs to use the city assault vehicle and the shield vehicle to attack the city gate. The next step is close combat. According to my observation, the soldiers under Yue Fei's command rely on
Still a strong shield and a sharp crossbow.
Although the Jin army is equally powerful in close combat, it is far from invincible. On the contrary, when fighting in the field, the opponent has a lot of depth. Lord, you can think about it. If General Shi broke through the opponent's shield wall before, Yue Fei would be in close combat.
It can cause so much damage to our army."
"If we are attacking a city, our army only needs to use shield vehicles and charging vehicles to rush into the formation. The space inside the pool is limited. Our army only needs to rush into the city, or let the soldiers rush to the bottom of the city wall under the protection of the shield vehicles. The opponent's
The strong bow and powerful crossbow lost their power."
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and realized that this was really the case.
As long as they rushed within a certain distance of the city with their shield carts, the threat that the crossbows could pose to them was limited. Especially the bed crossbows could not threaten the direction immediately below the city wall.
And if they were allowed to rush into the city, with the narrow conditions of the streets, Yue Fei would not be able to fight and retreat like he did in the field battle. It would be difficult to form a mobile battle, and it would be difficult to fly a kite.
As long as the shield chariot can be used to attack the opponent, once the two sides are in close combat, these bows and crossbows will naturally have little power!
Of course, the premise is that the baffles on their shield vehicles and ram vehicles are enough for them to rush under the city wall.
"What the military advisor said is true, but I am confused." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhao Kuangyin sat on his chair. The powerful combat effectiveness of Yue Fei's troops really shocked him.
……………………
"Report~" A junior high school officer rushed in and shouted to Yue Fei and Huang Feihu: "Grand Governor, General Huang, the Xuzhou Army has begun to attack the city."
"It took half a month to attack the city, but the Xuzhou army was nothing more than that!" Huang Feihu snorted coldly.
Half a month has passed since the previous battle. Although that battle would definitely have a negative impact on the opponent's morale, it took more than half a month to recover, which also made Huang Feihu subconsciously
He underestimated the Xuzhou Army.
"Don't be careless!" Yue Fei said in a deep voice.
For more than half a month, the Xuzhou Army did not start to attack. During this period, Yue Fei also sent people to conduct investigations. However, on the surface, the Xuzhou Army behaved very normally and nothing was wrong at all.
"All the generals will follow me to the city for a visit!"
No wonder Yue Fei was careless. According to his plan, the Fuhan County town where he was currently stationed had to be defended for at least a month.
Yue Fei never thought that he could survive the joint attack of so many princes without losing a city or a pool. This was simply not a realistic thing.
However, at least enough time must be bought for him before every land is dropped. Each battle they fight is, to put it bluntly, a time war to see who is faster!
"Yes!" the generals, big and small, said with cupped hands.
