After learning that He Huairen's navy had withdrawn from the battle, Zhang Cangxiong and Liu Nanshang were shocked, and then smiled bitterly at each other. They naturally understood the consequences of He Huairen's navy's withdrawal. With the support of Kato Taka's navy,
The stronghold of the Ji Le Zhu Zhao Division is bound to become more stable. The Dongwa Navy, which has gained control of the water, can land on the thousand-mile coastline of Jiangnan Road at will. However, the two of them now only have 200,000 troops in their hands, and they are completely unable to do so.
Effectively guard against such a long coastline. But it is the responsibility to protect the land. Since you are a soldier, you must have a soldier's consciousness. But the burden on the two people will be heavier. Song Junlin is really a disaster.
You must be a waste. Zhang Cangxiong cursed fiercely in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Jishi in his own family was actually even more useless than Song Junlin.
Although Song Junlin escaped from the battlefield and threw the great Xijiang defense line to Jinhua's army, his last trick still burned most of Jinhua's ships and tens of thousands of soldiers, making it difficult for Cheng Guochi to lead the army.
When Ouyang Jingzhong's 50,000 soldiers arrived at the Xijiang section of Luzhou, Jinhua's soldiers on the north bank of the Xijiang River still did not exceed 40,000. Ouyang Jingzhong waited until Liu Bi returned to defend Chengzhou and Wangzhou Xijiang River, blocking Chu Yue and Yu Wenqing.
After Anyuehe Qianyun's attack, he personally led the 20,000 soldiers of the Southern Legion to fight non-stop to Luzhou. With no successors, facing the old and strong Jingnan Duke Ouyang Jingzhong, Rao was
Pu Zhicheng also tried his best, but was eventually forced back to the south bank of the Xijiang River. However, of the 50,000 soldiers who crossed the river, only more than 10,000 were able to return to Jinhua. The rest were either burned to death by Song Junlin's fire, or
Although he died in battle, many skirmishers were still defeated and wandered around the Great Lakes, causing considerable losses to the local people. In this battle, Qingfeng also paid a price of nearly 50,000 people, including
The Bai'er Army suffered less than 10,000 casualties, and most of Zhu Chiya's 20,000 garrison was lost. Fortunately, Luzhou City was still defended in the end. Otherwise, if the Jinhua army were allowed to rush into the city, even if they could all be annihilated, they would not be able to survive in the end.
There will definitely be a huge price to pay.
The Xijiang defense line has returned to its previous appearance. However, the battle situation on Jiangnan Road is not optimistic. The Holy Sect of Paradise and Dongbo did not give Qingfeng any chance, but they did not directly attack Jiangnan Road, which was heavily guarded by Zhang Cangxiong and Liu Nanshang.
Instead, they directly attacked the mainland of Huaishui. The Minghui Department of the Holy Bliss Sect, which had been recuperating in Lurui Prefecture of Yangzhou, suddenly attacked Shouzhou of Huaishui without any warning, to challenge Zhang Ji Shiqin head-on.
Shouzhou City is guarded by 50,000 soldiers.
The Holy Sect of Paradise had obviously learned about the layout of the Huai River army. Minghui's army bypassed the Huai River army's defensive positions along the way and directly attacked Shouzhou City, which was easy to attack and difficult to defend. Since the Huai River Road was mostly blocked by
Because of the flat fertile soil, the cities built in the city are not as tall and steep as those in the north. Due to the lack of stone materials, the walls of these cities are made of blue bricks with earth inside. In addition, Minghui has an advantage in information, so in
After all the 50,000 soldiers from Huaishui returned to Shouzhou City, Ji Le's army surrounded the Huaishui soldiers in Shouzhou City in one fell swoop, and quickly broke through the east gate of Shouzhou.
Facing a superior force twice that of their own and Minghui, one of the four famous generals of Bliss, the Huaishui soldiers fully demonstrated their character. In the end, all 50,000 soldiers were killed, but no one surrendered. However, they
Zhang Jishi, the commander-in-chief, was not an ambitious man who could sacrifice his life for his country. Minghui's army had just arrived in Shouzhou City, and Zhang Jishi escaped from Shouzhou under the pretext of inspecting the defense line and put on makeup, and gave all the command rights of Shouzhou.
It was handed over to the deputy general Zhang Shujing. Fortunately, without his blind command, Zhang Shujing was able to lead 50,000 soldiers in a bloody battle. Although the entire army was annihilated, it caused at least 40,000 casualties to the Ji Le Minghui Division.
And forcefully delayed Minghui for three days. Because of this, he bought at least three days of precious time for Zhang Yuewan, who was fighting in Raozhou. If this battle was really commanded by Zhang Jishi, maybe
Unable to sustain it for even half a day, Shouzhou had completely fallen.
Just when Minghui was raising his troops to march westward, Yan Lege, one of the four generals of Ji Le, was not willing to be alone. One hundred thousand soldiers were Zhang Yuewan's tribe who attacked Raozhou, Huai River at the same time. However, Zhang Yuewan was, after all, a rising star with a notable reputation among the three great families.
, if she were not a daughter, she would probably compete with Li Xiaomo for the position of the top ten heroes. This princess of the Qing Dynasty, who hates that she is not a man most in her life, is not as cowardly as her cousin. She is not only
He has an excellent strategy, courageous decision-making, and has an incomparable talent in water warfare. With the 30,000 navy and 30,000 army in hand, the favorable terrain of Raozhou's dense river network and the Zhang family
With hundreds of years of connections among the people here, she led the army to resist and wait for opportunities to counterattack. Zhang Shujing's death along with the city not only bought Zhang Yuewan at least three days of precious time, but also weakened the Holy Sect of Paradise.
Hui's follow-up attack forced Minghui and Yan Lege's plan to join forces in Raozhou to go bankrupt due to Minghui's huge losses.
The reason why the Holy Sect of Paradise raised its troops to march westward is certainly related to the expansion strategy under constant military divisions, but more importantly, it is the food stored in the Huai River. The five states of the Huai River, especially Shouzhou and Raozhou in the east
, it is Qingfeng’s grain production base second only to Dahu Road. The population of Yangzhou Road currently controlled by the Bliss Holy Sect is only more than eight million. Due to war factors, a large number of young and middle-aged men have been incorporated into the army. This is also
This resulted in a large amount of land and land without people to farm. The Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss borrowed from last year’s nationwide severe drought to get its start, so naturally it did not have much food foundation. But now, the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss not only needs to supply
He had to provide food for his army of nearly half a million people, and he was also responsible for the food needs of 300,000 Japanese soldiers. This burden was naturally not light. Therefore, the mountains of food and grass in Raozhou, Huai River, were also called
The first choice coveted by the Holy Bliss Religion.
In just a few days, the 200,000-strong army of the Holy Sect of Paradise marched westward towards Huai River. At this time, Huai River, except for the 60,000 soldiers commanded by Zhang Yuewan, actually did not have a regular army. And in the northeast on the north bank of the river, there was no regular army.
The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms are also mobilized frequently. Although Zhang Cangzong is concerned about the safety of his family, he is not a person who does not know the general situation. If the defense line of the river collapses, the Huaihe River will definitely not be protected. So although it is heartbreaking, the 40,000 navy troops
He still patrolled the river day and night to prevent the three northeastern countries from taking advantage of the loophole. However, at this time, the imperial court did not provide timely assistance to the Huai River, and the five states of the Huai River were immediately in danger.
From the perspective of the imperial court, especially the Auxiliary Prince and An Yongchang, the Zhang family in Huai River still has some solid foundation. Although Zhang Cangxiong only has 250,000 soldiers, with the potential of Huai River, he can at least expand his troops to 400,000. However,
Since the beginning of the war, Zhang Cangxiong has not expanded his army, obviously to preserve his strength. Now that the Huaihe River is in danger, Zhang Cangxiong will definitely try his best to save his old nest. Therefore, the auxiliary king insisted on sitting on the sidelines to force Zhang Cangxiong to hide his secrets.
strength.
The national advisors Pang Ye and Sima Danggui, who have returned to Tiandu Shengjing, do not agree with this opinion. They insist that Zhang Cangxiong may have different intentions, but now that the country is broken, everyone should be in the same boat. Besides, Zhang Cangxiong is still there.
Fighting for the empire on Jiangnan Road, in the final analysis, the reason why the Zhang family’s local troops were drained was all because Zhang Cangxiong understood the righteousness and led troops to help defend the empire’s various fronts. But now if we just sit back and watch the Huaihe River fall,
Then it will definitely dampen Zhang Cangxiong's desire to continue to cooperate with the imperial court. Similarly, after learning about this incident, Jingxi King Li Tieming may have other ideas about cooperation with the empire. Most importantly, Zhang Cangxiong does not
If they are not in Huai River, even if the Zhang family is well prepared, such a secret and important matter can only be carried out by Zhang Cangxiong himself in charge of Huai River. Although Zhang Yuewan has a paternal demeanor, she is a woman after all, and she is destined to marry Zhang.
Family. Therefore, regarding the hidden power of the Zhang family, Zhang Yuewan may know his existence, but cannot mobilize it. Although the situation on the Dahe defense line is severe now, the court is not unable to support Huaishui. The current situation, as long as the Eastern Army is
Or the problem could be solved by the transfer of the Imperial Guards. However, due to the insistence of the Auxiliary King and An Yongchang, the Yinglie Emperor became hesitant. In the end, the Yinglie Emperor acquiesced to the Auxiliary King's act of killing people with a knife, and did not respond to Zhang Yuewan's request for help.
The letter is ignored.
In such a harsh environment, although Zhang Yuewan was angry, she had to cheer up and deal with the current situation with all her strength. People's potential in adversity is unlimited, and Zhang Yuewan is a talented person. Under her command
Under this situation, 60,000 soldiers held back Yan Lege's 100,000 troops in the eastern area of Raozhou. Yan Lege did not have a navy, and the Raozhou area was densely covered with rivers. Zhang Yuewan continued to take advantage of the navy in his hands.
Conduct strategic counterattacks, harass or sneak attack Yan Lege's logistics troops, or even lead elite dead soldiers to carry out sneak attacks. Although Yan Lege, a tough man born as a stonemason, is known as invincible on the battlefield, but in the face of such
When the situation arises, it is difficult to move forward.
While the frontline army was resisting, Zhang Yuewan organized the people of Raozhou to move westward, and at the same time organized large and small ships in the Huai River to transport all the mountains of food in Raozhou. Facing the already rested Ji Le Minghui to the south.
Yan Lege's 100,000-strong army and Zhang Cangxiong's Yellow Turban Army are now trapped on Jiangnan Road. Although Zhang Yuewan has ordered Huaihe River Prefecture to form a strategic reserve team, she really can't guarantee whether Huaihe River can still hold on if the situation continues like this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuewan made up her mind. All the food entered the moat of Tiandu Shengjing through the Ru River, a tributary of the Huai River, and then transported to Kezhou, Hetao via the Luoshui River. After all, Haotian is still her husband-in-law.
If it's cheaper for others, it's better to give it to your husband.
