Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 79

Beiyan transferred Ye Jiduodi to stay behind in Yanjing, indicating that the princes and ministers of Beiyan had the intention of abandoning the capital and fleeing to the west, but at the same time, he made the veteran Nahe Wugu replace Ye Jiduodi to supervise the left wing troops and horses. Before Yan abandoned the capital, he still hoped that he could stop the Huaidong army from advancing westward from Jinhai.

On both sides of the Wei River in the south of Yanjing, the soldiers and horses of the left wing of Beiyan gathered together the main forces that could protect Yanjing City at this time, including the 30,000 cavalry led by Ye Jiduodi from Jinan and the 30,000 miscellaneous cavalry that were later pieced together. Cavalry, a total of 60,000 cavalry.

After entering the middle of May, Nahewugu transferred the main force of the left-wing troops to the Anxu area east of the Weihe River, lying between Jinhai and Yanjing, intending to take advantage of the Huaidong Army approaching Yanjing in three ways. , looking for every opportunity to break through…

In the face of the latest situation, the Huaidong Army’s two-winged troops were ordered to stop their westward march, and to shrink their defenses on both sides of the Guoshui River and Chaobai River, waiting for fighters.

And in Jinhai City, which protects the two-winged soldiers and horses, a large number of troop and grain ships come to dock every day, thousands of people and horses, tens of millions of stone grains, and tens of thousands of boxes of ammunition. , weapons, continuously under the command of Jinhai City, and constantly strengthen the troops and horses in the middle road that are about to attack Yanjing from between Chaobai River and Guoshui River.

“On the battlefield, all those holding weapons are either their own brothers or the enemy. Before they drop their weapons, lie down on the ground and hold their heads in surrender, they must be resolutely eliminated, and they must not be soft! Those bastards! , Seeing people are small and inconspicuous, but they are ruthless and ruthless when they kill people. Brothers and the masters have suffered from soft-handed losses, resulting in unnecessary casualties. , No matter male or female, young or old, as long as he takes up arms, he is the enemy. Don’t be afraid of what’s wrong, what’s wrong, I’ll take care of it…”

Chen Zui’s loud voice could be heard clearly by Lin Fu and Gao Zongting, Zhou Pu, Song Shixing and others who accompanied Lin Fu to the Denghai Town Division’s residence even across a row of wooden houses.

Lin Bie signaled that the soldiers did not need to report. He walked in directly with Gao Zongting, Zhou Pu and others. On the other side of the wooden barracks was a small school field. Chen Zhuzheng summoned the generals above Denghai Township to conduct pre-war mobilization.

More than 300 generals and officers, sitting on the simple benches, crowded the small school field. A row of long tables was simply placed in front of the school grounds as the main stage, with Li Baidao, Liang Shou and other main town commanders sitting in the back.

Just Chen Zui stood there and lectured, and patted the long table with a loud bang. The generals on the school ground saw Lin Fu and others passing from behind the barracks and stood up to salute. Lin Fu motioned for everyone to sit down and walked to the general table. Afterwards, he said: “Our army has a good tradition of not harassing civilians and killing women and children indiscriminately. This must be firmly maintained. Although the army has dispatched a large number of military disciplines, I believe that all generals and soldiers of our army are well defended. However, in front of our army, in Weihejin and Anxu, the weak and incompetent Hulu, in order to save the defeat, summoned all the young men of their clan to the battlefield in an attempt to prevent our army from recovering the Central Plains. Step, this is a new situation. Just as Chen Zhuo said, those who stand in front of us, as long as they hold the sword and do not let go, are the enemy who will be resolutely eliminated. .”

Yandong Hu and Yanxi, Xi and Northwest Yihus constituted the upper stage of the northern Yanling before the Han people in the north, and the Yan Dynasty established north of the East Hu people, adding up to only thirty or forty years, the Hu people. The children still retain the tradition of the Yiwu family.

Facing the northern expedition of the Huaidong army, Beiyan was unable to dispatch reinforcements from the outer defense line in time, so he called up nearly 20,000 children of the Hu tribe in Yanjing City and incorporated them into the left wing, with the intention of destroying Huaidong. The army blocked the city outside Yanjing.

In the face of these young Hu people who are still childish, but have fanatical morale on the battlefield and fight with horses, Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng, the two soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks, were the first to deploy.

On May 9th, a brigade-level front of Chu Zheng’s right-wing army appeared in a bad situation that the Hu tribe’s juvenile cavalry broke through and suffered more than 600 casualties. Lin Fu had to suspend the pace of the westward advance of all the troops and attack the whole army. Second mobilization to deal with the new situation on the battlefield.

After the mobilization meeting of the Denghai Township Division, Lin Fu kept the generals of the Denghai Township Division and above for the meeting. At the same time, there were also senior generals above the brigade in Jinhai who came to attend the meeting.

“The Hulu generals are less than sixteen years old, and there are even many young boys who are only eleven or twelve years old who are recruited into the army and fill the battlefield between Jinhai and Yanjing, which shows that the military potential of the Hulu has been squeezed to the extreme. ,” Lin Fu looked at the high-ranking generals sitting in the tent, and said in a low voice, “I don’t need to say more, everyone can understand how important the next battle is. As long as it is on the battlefield of Anxu , destroying the 60,000 enemy soldiers east of the Weihe River, the core military potential of the Hulu will be exhausted at one time. As long as they win the battle at the Jie’an Ruins, there are still nearly 300,000 Hulu in the periphery. Soldiers and horses, but they will no longer be a problem, and it will be a matter of time to eliminate them. It is precisely because the next battle is a decisive battle, I hope everyone will double their eyes and keep their heads clear…”

Jinhai City was almost in ruins. The most important thing at the moment was military supplies from Jianghuai. The living conditions of the troops were quite poor. In the council hall of the Denghai Town Division, there were only elm benches made in a hurry. It’s to squeeze the **** together.

However, in the face of the upcoming Anxu battle, everyone was in high spirits.

At the beginning, everyone was sceptical about the large number of juvenile Hu soldiers who appeared on the battlefield, and did not dare to kill, but the conservative tactics resulted in a large number of unnecessary casualties on their own side.

Lin Fu’s mobilization of the entire army this time will treat the 20,000-year-old Hu soldiers who have appeared on the battlefield as the last military potential of Beiyan, and clarify the attitude of resolute elimination. In fact, it is to clear the final battle for Anxu. obstacle.

****************

The deployment of troops and horses in Jinhai and Jianghuai is all by sea, and these are not within Beiyan’s field of vision.

Even if Bei Yan’s eyesight in Jianghuai could see the strength of the Huaidong Army, there would not be enough time to spread the news to Yanjing.

Although in Yihai, Liu Xilin led his troops northward from Yizhou, passed through the Yimeng Mountains, and pushed into the Linqu area in central Shandong, but other reserve troops in the Yihai area were mainly newly formed brigades and military preparation brigades. The Fengli Army’s 4th charioteer Han Caizhi’s department, the Haidong camping army’s 3rd charioteer Hu Qiaoguan, and the first jockey Zhou Pu’s department were all transferred to Jinhai by sea before mid-May.

It can be said with certainty that Huaidong made it clear that the main force of the captives on the outskirts of Yanjing was the 60,000 cavalry to the east of the Weihe River. In addition, there were 20,000 guards in Yanjing City, and 20,000 soldiers on the right flank in the mountains of eastern Jidong. In Sanhe and other areas, there are still more than 10,000 troops and horses, in order to delay the speed of the Huaidong right wing troops and horses advancing westward.

However, the Huaidong Army, in addition to Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng’s two soldiers and horses deployed from the two wings, gathered in Jinhai the horse infantry army, including Chen Zui, Han Caizhi, Hu Qiaokou three elite infantry brigade town divisions and the first elite of Zhou Pu’s army In addition to the jockeys, there are also nine new brigades and six brigades of the labor camp. These can be used as the main force for the breakthrough to Yanjing from the middle road in the future. The total strength is as high as 90,000, which has actually far exceeded the frontal interception of Beiyan. Soldiers and horses.

In addition, Lin Fu also dispatched troops and artillery from the navy to the shore. With Sun Zhun as the brigade commander, the newly formed artillery brigade directly under the military headquarters, with four artillery battalions under its jurisdiction, nearly doubled the number of artillery pieces on the middle route. Light and heavy artillery reached 500.

Starting from May 12th, apart from Hu Qiaoguan’s commanding division and six new brigades who stayed as reserve teams, Chen Zui, Han Caizhi, and Zhou Pu’s commanding two Bu Rui commanding commanders and one cavalry commanding commander were the main ones. , supplemented by three new brigades and three workers’ brigades in the middle of the road, that is, sent troops from Xiqingzhai to the west of Jinhai, and rushed to the Anxu area in the southeast of Yanjing at the speed of the enemy’s 50 li the day before.

The former enemy headquarters, composed of Gao Zongting, Yang Yihang, Yue Zhi, Song Shixing and others, moved with Chen Zuo’s department to specifically command the enemy’s war, while Lin Fu persuaded everyone to stay in the center of Jinhai for dispatching, and there would be no more superiors. Opportunities on the front lines.

*****************

Over the past few days, Beiyan, taking advantage of the cavalry across the plain area, has been winning battles on the left and right flanks, which has restored the morale of its generals.

Except for Tong Huacheng and Fan Wenlan, a small number of generals and officials still persuaded Nahe Wugu to give up the strategy of the decisive battle in the middle, most of Beiyan’s generals in Yanjing firmly believed that the battle between Yanjing and Jinhai was a must. The frontal battlefield~www.mtlnovel.com~ is given to the Huaidong Army to resolutely block, and only in this way can the crumbling national fortune of Beiyan be saved.

The Guoshui River and Chaobai River were trapped in the dikes in the upper reaches of Beiyan, and the water level decreased, so that the 200-ton frigates could not enter the deep area of ​​Yanji. Enter.

Small warships do not have side guns, and only one or two light guns of four or eight catties are installed on the top deck of the fore and aft. Coupled with the narrowing of the navigable river, the density of artillery that can appear on the front line has been greatly reduced. In fact, the effect of suppressing the conflict between the enemy and the horse is far less than the traditional and war weapons such as the bed crossbow and the scorpion crossbow that the camp post cooperates with.

This created an illusion for the Beiyan cavalry generals: the Huaidong Army’s fire crossbow was far less powerful than what Ye Jibaishi, Ye Jiduodi and others described.

This kind of situation made Beiyan General, headed by Nahe Wugu, more eager to seek an opportunity for a decisive battle in the middle.

The Huaidong Army tore open the sea-locked defense line and stormed the Jinhai Sea with an indestructible situation. The troops pointed directly at Yanjing. The hinterland of Yanji was under such a deadly threat. A hint of danger of collapse.

In fact, after the Huaidong Army captured Jinhai City, even if they no longer advance westward, as long as they hold on to Jinhai City, Beiyan will not be able to maintain the current route to Shandong and Henan in the south, Guanzhong in the west, Liangliao and Yanxi in the north. vast area.

In fact, unless Beiyan decides to give up Shandong, Henan, Liangliao, and Yanji, and retreat to Jinzhong, Guanzhong, and Yanxi, a big battle outside Yanjing is inevitable, and the longer it drags on, the worse the situation will be. It is not good for Beiyan Yue.

Seeing that the Huaidong Army’s troops from the middle route came out of Jinhai, General Beiyan, headed by Nahe Wugu, thought he had the opportunity to fight in the middle route… My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
