Putting aside the disturbing thoughts in his mind, Li Xiang gradually set his sights on the grand pass in front of him. Next, how to successfully obtain this grand pass is the most important thing.
Mengjin City is located due north of Luoyang, adjacent to the Yellow River, with Xiaopingjin Ferry as the front pass. If you want to capture Mengjin, you must first break through Xiaopingjin, and if you want to break Xiaopingjin, you need a navy.
As a real time traveler, Li Xiang naturally understands the importance of the navy army. Therefore, over the years, Li Xiang has not tried to form a navy army, and Li Xiang has indeed organized a navy army of 10,000 people.
military.
However, the combat effectiveness of this so-called 10,000 navy army is really worrying. I am afraid that these 10,000 navy army will eventually be defeated even if they are to deal with the 3,000 navy army in the Sun Wu era during the Three Kingdoms period.
The fate of returning.
South ships and north horses, it is too difficult to form a naval army in the north. For the problem of shipbuilding craftsmen, Li Xiang can still find a way to find it in the south, but just trying to recruit enough personnel among the landlubbers in the north is a challenge.
Troublesome. Moreover, it is not easy to find a suitable place in the north to train naval forces.
In addition, navy generals are also a big trouble. Li Xiang has summoned them many times, and many balanced characters have joined Li Xiang's command, but unfortunately there is no pure navy general among them.
.
Among the local people, the only ones who are good at water warfare are the future generals from Soochow or some generals from Jingzhou. Li Xiang also sent people to inquire about some of these water army generals who are currently ownerless.
The news, however, has always yielded very little results, or it has been accidentally missed due to various reasons. As a result, the 10,000-strong naval force formed by Li Xiang still does not have a formal commander.
But even so, even though the combat effectiveness of the ten thousand navy army he had worked so hard to build was low, Li Xiang still insisted on maintaining the organization of this navy army and did not cancel it easily.
It is easy to destroy but difficult to build. Although Li Xiang does not yet have a true navy general, there will always be one in the future. Instead of starting over in the future, it is better to work harder now and preserve this group of navy generals. In the future, Li Xiang
The construction of naval forces in the true sense can also be easier.
Although the navy troops under Li Xiang's command are still not of much use, this battle is really impossible without the navy troops. Therefore, before this, Li Xiang had secretly transferred that bowl of navy troops. It's just that
In order to achieve an unexpected effect, Li Xiang temporarily hid these 10,000 navy troops.
Since the coalition of princes not only included various princes from Jiangbei, but also Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Biao from Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and these two princes had navy troops under their command, Dong Zhuo's attention was not only focused on Hulao Pass
, Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Fuyuan, Xuanmen and other major land passes, Dong Zhuo also attached great importance to the defense of Mengjin and Xiaopingjin.
This time, the opponent Li Xiang faced was Dong Zhuo's general, or more accurately Yang Jian's general Yang Lin. As the patron king in the novel, Yang Lin's historical prototypes are Zhang Xutuo and Yang
The combination of Su and Su naturally showed great abilities. When he learned that Li Xiang had led his army, he personally took up residence at Mengjinguan, and his first and second chief eunuchs took charge of Xiaopingjin, guarding day and night and preparing for war with all their strength.
With famous generals like Yang Lin guarding the pass, Li Xiang naturally cannot attack blindly. Otherwise, even if all the navy troops under his hands are full of dissatisfaction and half a bottle of water, even if they are all dead, it will not be possible.
What effect will it have.
Since he couldn't fight, he had to outwit him. From this, Li Xiang prepared to build a plank road and cross Chencang secretly.
In the next few days, the troops under the two princes, Li Xiang and Bao Xin, have been pretending to collect wood on the north bank of the Yellow River and build tools for crossing the river with great fanfare.
At the same time, on a dark and stormy night, Yue Fei led his navy to raid Xiaopingjin Ferry. The eyes of the guards here, Paul Fang and Xue Liang, were both attracted by Li Xiang who was still on the north bank.
Who would have thought that there would be navy troops in Bingzhou, and how could they have thought that they would be raided.
Therefore, Yue Fei succeeded easily and conquered Xiaopingjin in one battle, but both Luo Fang and Xue Liang, the defenders of Xiaopingjin, died in the rebel army.
In its heyday, Yue Fei's Yue Family Army consisted of twelve armies, namely the Beiwei Army, the Front Army, the Right Army, the Center Army, the Left Army, the Rear Army, the Tabai Army, the Selected Front Army, the Victory Army, the Defeating Enemy Army, and the Youyi Army.
, Navy. The twelve armies cover infantry, cavalry, navy and other arms. The division of labor among the twelve armies is clear.
Therefore, in the absence of a navy general, Li Xiang had no choice but to let Yue Fei take over. At least among the generals under Li Xiang, only Yue Fei had experience in commanding a navy. Although I don’t know
Yue Fei is not good at water fighting, but at least he is much more reliable than others.
Fortunately, this battle was successful in the end.
Yue Fei knew that troops were valuable and fast, so in order to create a time lag, he quickly led the army to capture Mengjing Pass just after he had just captured Xiaopingjin. He wanted to lead the army to capture Mengjing Pass before the defenders at Mengjing Pass received the news of the fall of Xiaopingjin.
It's a pity that the combat effectiveness of Yue Fei's army was relatively low. After a big battle, the combat effectiveness was even more uneven when he attacked again. But even so, under Yue Fei's command, he still successfully attacked
Entering the Mengjin Pass.
It's a pity that although Yang Lin was caught off guard, he still managed to fight off Yue Fei's troops who had already penetrated the pass by relying on the superiority of his troops and the combat power of his soldiers.
After the failure of the raid on Mengjin Pass, Yue Fei stopped pressing and slowly retreated with his troops. Even though this part of his soldiers took advantage of the unexpected surprise, they failed in the end. Now after a raid, the enemy has already
With defenses in place, it becomes even more impossible to break through.
After successfully repelling Yue Fei's attack, Yang Lin hurriedly arranged his defense and ordered other eunuchs under his command to strengthen their vigilance. Regardless of his physical fatigue, he immediately wrote a letter to report the situation here to Dong Zhuo. At the same time, he also asked Dong Zhuo for help.
aid.
With the loss of Xiaopingjin, Mengjinguan's biggest advantage has been lost. Yang Lin only has less than 20,000 troops under his command, but the enemy army is three times his number. In addition, the enemy army also includes Wei General Li Xiang.
With all the famous generals in the world taking command, Yang Lin was really not sure that Mengjin Pass would be guarded perfectly.
Under this situation, for the sake of the overall situation, Yang Lin had to go and ask for help.
