Chapter five hundred and forty second jump forward
Mengjin fell, but Luoyang, which is so close to him, is ignored.
I didn't even dare to get close to the far stop.
This made Chen Feng, who was holding his energy, had nowhere to vent.
When did the Liao army become so cautious?
"Governor, it's a bit of a loss!"
"Most of the sewed grains were given to those immigrants."
"You also boarded more than forty sailboats."
Chen Lin gestured at the map.
"What's the loss?"
"Isn't it profitable to pick up more than 40,000 little babies for free?"
"Those broken sailboats cannot keep up with the speed of the oar-treading boats, it is better to give them to Lao Lu as a favor."
Lin Rui said regretfully.
"If Luoyang sent a group of light cavalry and rushed to us."
"Maybe, we can use the same trick again and we can still take down Luokoucang."
Chen Yun shook his head and said.
"Lao Lin, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"Liangzi intercepted two batches of cargo ships and transported a large amount of grain."
"At that time, Yelu Dayue's Western Expedition Army had already taken Luokoucang?"
"It can only mean that in the years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no reserve of much war grain."
"The rats may be starved to death in that place!"
Chen Lin looked at the map for a long time before turning back and laughing.
"The Liao army in Luoyang watched Mengjin fall but remained indifferent. There are only two reasons."
"First, they made a mistake in their judgment, thinking that the Western Army had finally trained a large number of new troops to serve the king in the east. They would fight sooner or later, so it would be better to move the battlefield to Luoyang, where the city is high and thick walls."
"Second, the offensive and defensive battle in the capital has reached a critical moment, and the Liao army is in short supply."
"The Liao army in Luoyang has more than enough defenses to defend the city, but insufficient attacks."
Chen Yun nodded and said.
"The Grand Governor made sense."
"Now, Luoyang is like a piece of idle rib to us."
"Even if you struggle to fight, you don't have time to defend and you won't get much money."
"Forget it, let's go quickly!"
Chen Feng frowned.
"Governor, is it still like this big-sized approaching water and land?"
"What if Yelu Dayue mobilizes the army to form a pocket array?"
Even Chen Feng, who never showed his timidity, hesitated.
The others were also worried.
The main reason is that the proportion of recruits is too high.
If you have to fight a large-scale field battle.
The navy has launched another part of the land cavalry, and the Iron Front Army can gather 90,000 iron cavalry.
Of course, there are not enough armor.
But no one present was willing to let the 37,800 new recruits fight hard as soon as they came up.
It's really impossible to afford the loss.
Chen Lin was very cautious.
"So, we have to avoid this possibility."
"Even if you want to fight, you have to avoid the real and the false."
"Chen Liang, I'll give you a whole night. Can the fleet run here with full load?"
Chen Liang looked at the map and was slightly surprised.
"Guber Mountain?"
"On the other side, is Guangwu, a county under Zhengzhou?"
“The waterway is more than four hundred miles.”
"Departing this evening and you can arrive in the middle of the night."
Chen Lin was very satisfied with Chen Liang's keen sense of smell.
The Iron Front Army occupied Mengjin, and almost no Liao ship dared to set off the river section up and down.
There are all whistle ships that come and go.
The navy originally wanted to intercept some grain transport ships but had no chance.
So, you can make a big fuss when you set out. But when you arrive at the reservation.
You have to quietly enter the village to facilitate the next step of action.
"That's it."
"Strive for four days and nights, the entire army will go to Gubai Mountain to hide."
Chen Lin spent three circles on the map with a carbon black pencil.
"I call it a frog jumping marching."
"At that time, will we directly attack the Liao army in Zezhou or cross the river to raid Zhengzhou."
"Or, we will do nothing, we will swagger through Xiangzhou and rush to the mouth of Lushui River."
“It depends on the situation!”
Are there so many choices?
The generals suddenly became interested.
Zhengzhou is definitely the logistics hub of the Liao Kingdom’s Western Route Army.
Water and land are convenient.
Not to mention that you have to conquer Zhengzhou City, you will not gain less if you click to defeat the navy in Zhengzhou area alone.
Chen Feng was eager to try it out.
"Good now!"
"If you find that Yelu Dayue is west of Zhengzhou, you can set up a pocket array for our possible land army."
"That's fun!"
"We have to fuck him in the eye."
Chen Liang shook his head and said with a smile.
"The possibility of raiding on land is too small."
"The Liao navy in that area has a very dense patrol density."
"They are running down the river, and it's hard for us to ensure that we're completely wiped out."
"It's certain to alert the snake."
Chen Yun knocked on the table and said.
"We should try our best to avoid large-scale decisive battles."
"Grandmaster, I heard that Yang Chengliang's troops have been abandoned by Zezhou?"
"Now are guarding Lund House?"
"And the Liao army that attacked him must be dominated by Han'er infantry."
"I think we should first find Yelu Hanhai, the old opponent, to grab two!"
This suggestion is a bit unauthentic.
Shen Lin couldn't help but chuckled.
"Do you have to pull it tightly?"
"Yelu Hanhai's losses are already great enough."
"I am worried that if I take another fur, he will not even dare to fight the four southwest states."
"Who will check and balance Yang Chengliang?"
"Everyone is ready to go!"
"Let's go to Gubai Mountain area first."
Although the distance is not close, the navy has already transformed into ships.
Racing faster with the wind.
It's just one day when you come and go.
With a full load, more than 50,000 war horses were stuffed into the first trip, and a small amount of food and grass.
The veterans also passed by more than 40,000.
Shen Lin set out for the third trip.
This took away all the dolls taken in from Mengjin.
Older people all ran to help with the paddleboard with great enthusiasm.
The younger children, led by the Boy Scouts female soldiers, took the initiative to help take care of the horses.
The poor children are early on becoming a family.
As long as you have enough food and clothing, no one is willing to stay idle.
Yin is three minutes.
The crescent moon is west.
A large number of black ships docked in a river bend.
The small river originating from Gubai Mountain is very shallow and can't get in for five thousand dans of ships.
But the vegetation on both sides of the strait is lush.
The people and horses walked along the river for five or six miles before they camped under the mountains.
The first three trips were mainly transporting personnel and war horses.
I only brought the food and grass to deal with for a few days, and the big head is still at the end.
In order to avoid repeated transportation and tossing.
However, there are more than 190,000 horses in the army.
The daily consumption is amazing.
The last trip was transported with grains and fodder, and even 400,000 dan.
Chen Yun, who arrived first, had already sent a sentry to the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Fortunately, both sides of the Huangjiang River in this generation are mountains and hills.
It is very easy to hide when crossing the river with a whistleboat at night.
"Grandmaster, the Liao army has strengthened its vigilance on the other side."
"Some of the troops suspected of besieging Fengqiu by the Western Route Army were withdrawn."
"In the middle of the night, there were light cavalry guarding some major intersections."
Shen Lin frowned, was he just guarding the situation?
"Where is Yelu Daming's navy?"
Chen Hu, who was left behind, reported the report with ten 3,000-denominated guard ships.
"For three consecutive days, we just sank seven whistle ships."
"The Liao army knew that the water could not beat us, and all the warships and transport ships were gone."
"At the end of the day, I suspect that Yelu Daming has already gone to the Fengqiu River."
