(Chapter 3 is here, I’m so hungry, brothers, please give me a big vote!)
"Jinan has been captured!" Lin Fu stared in shock at Cao Ziang, who rushed in to report the news. He accidentally knocked over the candlestick on the table, and did not bother to pick up the extinguished candlestick from the tiled floor. He looked at Cao Ziang with great surprise.
I hope Cao Zi'ang will tell him that this is a joke. How could Jinan be lost? Jinan has gathered most of Shandong's army, and has the Eastern Fujian general Lu Jingyan to defend it. How can it be possible for Bushan to launch a siege without heavy siege?
The equipment was captured by soldiers?
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded. They thought that winning the victory over Jinhai would threaten the flanks of the invading Donglu and force them to withdraw from Jinan in advance. Who would have thought that the city of Jinan would turn out to be just before they captured Jinan.
At the same time as Hai Dajie, the main force of Donglu's southern front was captured?
Such a result is difficult for anyone to accept.
Not to mention Lin Xuwen, Liu Zhi, Yang Zhishan, even Lin Fu had the illusion of turning the tide after the great victory in Jinhai. Who would have thought that their victory in Jinhai would not affect the overall situation at all, let alone turn the tide.
"It may not necessarily be a fall," Cao Zi'ang said bitterly, "The Linqing rebels helped the Eastern captives to besiege Jinan, attacking on three sides, leaving the south gate unsieged. For eleven days, the captive soldiers attacked the city and lost many troops, and they were unable to attack. Until
Yesterday, the Donglu soldiers began to organize their troops to gather at the south gate, preparing to attack the south gate. Yesterday at noon, the Zhejiang soldiers who were guarding the south city of Jinan without losing a single soldier were timid and did not dare to fight against the Donglu troops. They took advantage of the encirclement and there was still a big gap.
At that time, they suddenly abandoned the south gate and withdrew into the mountains, allowing the captives to capture the south gate without losing a single soldier. When the scouts I left in Jinan rushed out of the city to report the news, the inner city and the north city were not lost, so Zhao Wu ordered
The guarding general Lu Jingyan also led his troops to resist resolutely in Beicheng. The Japanese soldiers may not be able to capture Jinan..."
"Beasts! They eat the emperor's salary, eat the people's millet in the world, are as timid as snakes and rats, and live in an ignoble way. How are they any different from animals!" Lin Fu slapped the table, cursed angrily, and slapped the thin cypress table directly.
The cup was broken and the chopsticks were scattered all over the table.
Lin Fu's rudeness and slamming the table also brought Lin Xuwen and others back to their senses.
Lin Xuwen said uncertainly: "When the scouts left Jinan to report the news, the inner city and the north city were not lost. I heard that General Lu who was guarding Zhaowu was brave and good at fighting, and his subordinates were elite soldiers who had fought with Li Zhuo for many years. As long as they could retreat to the inner city,
Jinan can probably still hold on..."
Only then did Lin Fu realize his gaffe. He was scolding Zhao Jinlong, the general of the Qinwang soldiers who were guarding Jinan in the two Zhejiang provinces. In fact, he scolded all the Qinwang soldiers who were timid to avoid fighting.
How many Zhejiang generals fled from the south gate of Jinan?
Liu Zhi sat aside, looking embarrassed, as if he had been scolded by Lin Fu.
Ma Yigong, Zhou Tong, Yang Yihang and others were betrayed by the eunuch Hao Zongcheng in the Battle of Gaoyang. They hated the Zhejiang soldiers who abandoned Jinan and fled. If the Zhejiang soldiers generals stood in front of them, they would pull out their swords in hatred.
Come and kill them.
The Zhejiang soldiers are afraid of fighting. If they withdraw early, that's it. They are not expected to defend the city, nor will they be assigned the important task of guarding Nancheng. They should never and should not be fighting at the most critical and fierce moment of the attack and defense.
His legs slipped away. If Zhao Jinlong was in front of him, Lin Fu could really kill him with one strike!
When Lin Fu was in Jinan, he felt that the Zhejiang army was unreliable, but the generals of the Dai Viet Dynasty were already ridiculous, degenerate, cowardly, and ignored their friendly forces to such an extent. Did Zhao Jinlong think that he could escape today, and the court would not find him after the war?
Is he settling the score later?
Hao Zongcheng had the emperor's backing and could betray the Jinzhong Army, which was completely crippled. It would be difficult for people without backing to cause trouble for Hao Zongcheng. But the Eastern Fujian generals were still there, including Li Zhuo, Chen Zhihu, Dong Yuan and
Which of the generals who stayed in Eastern Fujian would spare Zhao Jinlong?
Thinking about Jiangning Dongcheng Lieutenant Chen Zhi, I really don’t know how many incompetent, greedy, and cowardly generals and officials like Chen Zhi and Zhao Jinlong were in the military system of the Dai Viet Dynasty. Zhao Jinlong was greedy for the salary Jinan gave him.
He led the Zhejiang soldiers to stay in Jinan to assist in the defense, but at the most critical moment, he stabbed Jinan with the most vicious knife. This knife was a hundred times more vicious than the most ferocious enemy.
How many people in the Dai Viet Dynasty are worthy of trust?
Lin Fu suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart and ordered Cao Ziang: "Call in the scout who reported the news, and you will ask him for details..." However, his voice was a little out of shape, showing the suppressed anger in his heart.
"A total of five scouts came north. They were intercepted by enemy outposts on the way. Only one of them was able to come. He told the military situation in Jinan and was unable to save him." Cao Ziang said sadly.
It is still more than 500 miles from Jinan to Jinhai in a straight line. For more than a day and a night, horses are galloping, which even ordinary people can't bear, let alone the scouts who were intercepted and injured on the road!
Lin Fu clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles, frowning, and asked Cao Ziang: "What's the wind like outside?"
"There is no wind at this time," Cao Ziang said, "I have asked the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion to prepare to board the ship..."
"No," Lin Fu shook his head and said, "If there is no wind, we have to wait here for one more day. We don't have this time. I will give you an hour, and you can gather all the cavalry in the camps and prepare to go with me first! You stay
At the mouth of the vortex, let Zhou Pu lead the infantry by boat, and the best you can meet on the road..."
"If General Lu can hold Jinan, Jiangdong's left army will not be able to enter the inner city to help defend it. If it is just to contain the Japanese soldiers on the outside, the strength of Jiangdong's left army will be too small and it will not be able to play a big role." Lin Xuwen
He persuaded that he could not just watch Lin Fu lead the Jiangdong Left Army, an elite force that had finally grown up, to go to Jinan to die...
"I'm afraid Jinan can't be defended anymore," Lin Fu waved his hand and Cao Zi'ang got ready. He didn't ask Liu Zhi, the deputy envoy to watch the army, for his opinion. He explained to Lin Xuwen, "If we can retreat to the inner city, after the south gate is lost, Lu Jingyan
They will definitely withdraw their troops to the inner city first, and will not wait for the east city. The west city has been lost one after another, and they are still fighting to the death with the Japanese soldiers in the north city... If the inner city can be defended by the elites of Eastern Fujian, the problem will not be the worst. If the inner city will
All the elites from Eastern Fujian were blocked outside the city, and Jinan truly fell into an irreversible danger!"
Lin Xuwen sighed. The Zhejiang soldiers suddenly retreated and the south gate was captured. Jinan will naturally no longer trust the guest troops and will most likely refuse the East Fujian army to enter the inner city to help defend.
The thin gate tower of the North City is caught in the dilemma of being attacked from both inside and outside. It is extremely difficult to repel an enemy several times larger. Most of the time, the entire army will be destroyed. However, the combat capabilities of the local defenders in Jinan's interior are really worrying.
.
Lin Xuwen further advised: "Since General Lu is in trouble, it will be useless for you to lead your troops to Jinan."
"No, I'm not going to Jinan, I'm going to Yangxin," Lin Fu said. He opened the map from the pile of official documents, pushed all the other items on the desk directly to the ground, spread out the map, and pointed out the Yangxin area.
position, and said, "Jinan is the gateway for the captives to march eastward into Shandong. Before the war, the main forces in Shandong were concentrated in Jinan. With the fall of Jinan, Shandong not only lost the shielding gateway, but also had very few combatable troops left in Shandong.
The rebels only need to send some cavalry to penetrate eastward, and the prefectures and counties in eastern Shandong will be difficult to resist. We must not only defend Yangxin, but also turn it into a sharp knife and place it on the waist of the captives who want to advance eastward to Linzi, making them let go.
I dare not attack Linzi, let alone enter the area east of Linzi. I want to enter Yangxin before the day after tomorrow. The Donglu will be able to withdraw troops from Jinan and march eastwards as soon as today... Yannan has already given
It has been crippled, Shandong can no longer be crippled!"
"I will go with you to guard Yangxin!" Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, and Zhou Tong asked for the battle together.
After Gaoyang's defeat, the admiral Yang Zhaoqi died in battle. Hao Zongcheng, who had almost wiped out all the troops in Jinzhong, was promoted to the position of superintendent of the Qinwang division in the world. They no longer had any confidence in the imperial court, and naturally they had no loyalty.
, they didn’t know who they were fighting for. They agreed to join forces with the Jiangdong Left Army to get rid of their own predicament. After the victory at Jinhai, the accumulated military exploits at least prevented them from being held accountable after the war, and they became demoralized.
, has no intention of leading troops to fight for this court anymore. Maybe he will continue to hang around in the army system, maybe he will degenerate from now on, no different from other generals, maybe he will run away at the critical moment, regardless of the life and death of his friendly troops.
What happened to the Jinan garrison, and Lin Fu's renunciation and anger stimulated their most sensitive and painful nerves. Lin Fu was not afraid of hardships and selflessly went to Yang Xinzheng to help the danger, which also stimulated their fighting spirit.
I want to follow Lin Fu to guard Yang Xin.
If Jinan falls, the 50,000 to 60,000 captive soldiers on the southern front of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the more than 10,000 surrendered rebel soldiers will all be active together without restraint. However, Yangxin is a small town in the south of Hejian Funan. To defend Yangxin is like
Guarding a sinking rock amidst the stormy waves.
Ma Yigong, Yang Yihang, and Zhou Tong could think of the dangers of going to Yangxin, but they couldn't control these dangers.
"No," Lin Fu refused, "If Jinan falls, the situation will become more flexible for the invading soldiers. The pirates will have more chess pieces to use, and the counterattack on Jinhai may be more fierce," Lin Fu
Said, "I hope that the Jinzhong Army can assist Lin Duqian to hold on to the three villages of Changlu, Qingqi and Wokou. I will also ask Cao Ziang to lead the third battalion to stay. Maybe you will fight harder!"
Ma Yigong thought for a moment and said: "The cavalry are counterattacking violently. We can only defend the stronghold. The cavalry is of no use. We can gather 300 cavalry and let Zhou Tong and Master Lin go there...
…”
"Okay! Let Zhou Tong follow me." Lin Fu considered that removing the three hundred cavalry would not weaken this side much. The key is that the cavalry of the Jiangdong Left Army is too weak. This is a unit that is difficult to build in a short time. From Tian
It is more than 300 miles from the sea to Yangxin. The long-distance rescue will be a great test for the cavalry. Lin Fu must also consider that the vanguard cavalry of the Luqi have already arrived at Yangxin. It is really impossible not to have a cavalry to see.
After Lin Fu arranged everything, he thought about Liu Zhilai, the deputy envoy of Jiangdong Zuojun observing the military appearance, and asked: "Master Liu, will you follow me to stay in Yangxin, or will you stay to help Lin Duqian guard the three villages in Jinhai?"
?”
Liu Zhi's face was gloomy and uncertain. He considered that it was safer in Wukou Village. At worst, the horsemen would attack and escape to the island to live for a few days. After a while, he said: "I'm not good at riding horses. This is the first time in my life that I have ridden a horse."
The boat is spinning, it's really unbearable, I'd better stay and help guard Jinhai, Jiangdong Zuojun also has a battalion staying..." He knew that going to Yangxin was just a show off, and Lin Fu couldn't let him interfere in military affairs.
