Fengziying was not by Lao Matou this time, and Meng Liang, the most brave warrior under Liulang, was not by Liulang's side. At first, everyone believed that the reason why Liulang left the Fengziying was to rely on Fengziying's good combat to suppress some unstable factors within the Lianghuai River. But in the end, everyone finally understood why Liulang left the Fengziying and did not fight.
The old Matou of Fengzi Camp had his own task. Just when Liulang and others were fighting with the Wuyue Navy in Yuxi River, the Fengzi Camp of Lao Matou had already arrived in Hezhou, Huaixi, and collected and recruited all supplies and boats that could be used to make floating bridges according to Liulang's orders. At the same time, all the 100,000 garrisons of Hezhou followed Lao Matou's orders. Once Liulang came to meet, he would immediately draw 50,000 Minzhuang from Hezhou and recruit all ships that could cross the river.
Liulang really wants to thank the great figures of Wu Yue again. During the period when Wu Yue prepared to rebel to become emperor and fought, he had always trusted his Wu Yue Navy very much, and he always believed that Liulang was a worthy person. As a result, the Wu Yue rebels never sent troops to attack Hezhou, an important ferry crossing in the north of Wu Yue.
Now that the Wuyue navy suffered heavy losses, most of the Wuyue army was in a stalemate in Huguang, and they were even less able to attack Hezhou to ensure the safety of Jinling.
If the Wu Yue and Wu Kingdom directly attacked Hezhou at the beginning, then Liulang would be in trouble now.
Hezhou is close to the Yangtze River, and Caishiji is across the bank!Since ancient times, there have been troubles in Wu and Yue, and nine out of ten people have passed by the stone ferry!
In other words, no matter how you look at it from the map, you have to attack Wu Yue directly from Hezhou to quarrying. More importantly, it is also the easiest and fastest to build a floating bridge between Hezhou and quarrying.
At the same time, Liulang also knew very well that just northeast of Caishiji, Ma'anshan happened to be Ma'anshan. In Ma'anshan, there were a large amount of mineral resources and huge reserves, especially iron ore was the richest. The pig iron and mature steel needed by Liulang to expand his army could not rely entirely on Tao Sanchun. He must have a rich mineral veins and smelting grounds controlled by himself.
As long as the quarry is broken, Liulang's military attack can point directly to Jinling, the capital of Wu Yue and Wu, but it will not matter to Liulang. It is best if Tao Sanchun and the court both sent heavy troops. Liulang only needs Taiping Mansion and help Tao Sanchun and the court's coalition forces arrive at the city of Jinling. Then he will sit and watch both sides kill to the death. This is Liulang's next step. The second half officially begins when the sun rises.
After counting all the elite navy and Huozi Battalion soldiers who could continue to fight, there were still 80,000 people, all followed Liulang to head north quickly to the target and state.
Lei Fan's Shanzi Camp was left in Lianghuai to deal with possible crises, such as the Wuyue Navy or the Wuyue army attacked directly, or the imperial court and Tao Sanchun suddenly decided to take action.
Liulang said in front of everyone: We will give all our family and family members to you. Once the situation changes, the beacon will be ignited immediately. If we lose our homes and family members, we will have to end up like Li Yu. Please, General Lei!
Faced with Liu Lang's re-entrusted trust, Lei Fan did not say anything more. He immediately went back to command the army, arranged the wounded and prisoners, and first led half of the troops of Shanzi Camp to return to Hefei City. The other half of the soldiers of Shanzi Camp and local garrisons will be left here to defend. Once the situation changes, Lei Fan will work with the left-behind officials to mobilize all the troops in the two Huai Rivers, especially local garrisons.
The Zheng brothers' Dongting Lake Navy will first bring all the warships back to Dongting Lake, leave the warships that need maintenance in Dongting Lake, and then draw 5,000 new recruits who are training from the naval camp of Dongting Lake, reorganize 100,000 people to lead the main warships into the Yangtze River, and finally meet with Liulang and Prefecture's Yangtze River and attack Caishiji together.
Many of the five thousand new recruits were still children. They were the seeds that the Dongting Lake Navy wanted to retain for themselves. In the previous battles, the people of the Dongting Lake Navy were worried that the Dongting Lake Navy would be wiped out on the Yangtze River. If that was true, then these five thousand new recruits would be the last seeds they left behind. With these seeds, sooner or later there would be a chance for the Dongting Lake Navy to rebuild again. Now, due to the needs of the war, the five thousand new recruits finally boarded the warship and prepared for the battle.
From the establishment of Wu Yue and Wu Kingdom to the emperor and the title of king, there seems to be no good news, and many of them are bad news related to Liulang. I originally expected that the Wu Yue Navy could completely eliminate Liulang's Dongting Lake Navy, continue to control the Yangtze River waterway, eliminate all potential dangers, and ensure Wu Yue's own safety.
But as a result, the four kings of Wu and Yue came here, the bad news that the Wu and Yue Navy lost more than half of the losses.
And the bad news is not only one. Before receiving the bad news that the main force of the Wu Yue Navy lost half of the loss, the Wu Yue rebels first received the following area that the lower reaches of the Yangtze River was suddenly attacked by Tao Sanchun's naval troops. The navy attacked Songjiang Prefecture. Forty thousand Tao Sanchun's army, Songjiang, burned, killed and plundered all the way, and joined forces with local wealthy families to force a large number of people to attack the local county towns. The prefect of Songjiang Prefecture was unable to resist and could only defend the Songjiang Prefecture's capital.
The Wuyue area was finally attacked. After receiving this news, the four kings of Wuyue immediately asked the emperor to send 50,000 imperial guards from Jinling to support him. They were all afraid that the invading Tao Sanchun's army was just the vanguard of Tao Sanchun's army. At the same time, they ordered the 100,000 left-behind naval troops to follow the Yangtze River to find Tao Sanchun's main force, in an attempt to defeat Tao Sanchun's naval troops again, thereby ensuring the safety of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River close to the East China Sea.
But just after the imperial guards and the navy were sent out, Wu Yue received another bad news asking for reinforcements. The defeated Nantang Navy attacked Poyang Lake and sneaked into the water camp of the Wu Yue Navy in Poyang Lake.
Everything came too suddenly. The main force of the Wu Yue Navy was transferred away. Those who were left in the water camp were just a group of new recruits and some old soldiers who could no longer go to the expedition. No one would have thought that the Nantang Navy, which had been severely damaged before, entered the hinterland of Wu Yue. Poyang Lake, an important stronghold of the Wu Yue Navy, had sneaked out overnight. All the naval camps were burned, and all the new and old warships anchored in the camps sank into the water, and more than half of the left-behind new recruits were killed or injured.
According to the information, Tao Sanchun and Nantang Navy should have met with Liulang's Dongting Lake Navy. Even if they can't join, they will wait on the Yangtze River for the result of the battle between Dongting Lake Navy and Wu Yue Navy. They even saw that Dongting Lake Navy was attacked and immediately fled back to their nest, but everyone guessed it wrong!
Wu Cheng Shijie was reflecting on them. They seemed to be too proud before. Wu Yue’s years of wealth and superficial strength made many people forget themselves. The only thing they can do now is to send imperial guards again to command local troops to attack the Nantang Navy that entered Poyang Lake from the shore. The Wu Yue Navy has now reached the point where there are no soldiers or ships to send.
Everyone was still fantasizing that after two bad news, they could hear the news of the victory of the main force of the Wu Yue Navy. Then the previous two bad news would not be too bad, just to be regarded as the price of destroying the Dongting Lake Navy.
The third bad news came soon. The blow was great enough. The Wu Yue Navy used to defend Wu Yue from the attack of the northern army, the most proud navy of Wu Yue and Wu Kingdom, and the Wu Yue Navy built with gold and silver mountains, were once again defeated by Liu Lang. More than half of the casualties were killed and injured, and more than half of the warships were lost. Among them, the giant ships suffered huge losses. As a result, one of the four kings of Wu Yue, the oldest and the worst in health, could not breathe on the spot. The other three quickly called the imperial physician and finally pulled them back with golden needles and ginseng soup. The bad news did not stop.
The 100,000 elite elites of the Southern Tang Navy succeeded. The fourth bad news came late at night, and it was still one hour before dawn. At that time, the four heads of Wu Yue were not sleeping. They were discussing countermeasures. This is not the time to pursue anyone who is responsible for the defeat of the Wu Yue Navy.
Everyone knows that if the Yangtze River is not protected, the entire Wu Yue will be directly attacked by the northern army. At that time, Wu Yue will be in chaos. Many people who have been hiding will jump out and rely on the court, Tao Sanchun, or even Liulang.
The four major families have reached this point and have no way out. Once they fail, the entire family will be completely over. The rebellion will be destroyed by the nine clans.
When I heard the fourth bad news, this time it was no longer one person fainting, but two people fainted together. Fortunately, there was an imperial physician who was waiting for him and he was rescued soon.
The granary of the Wu Yue army, which was responsible for attacking Huguang, was sneak attacked by an unknown army. When the granary was lost, the nearby army had no idea. After the granary caught fire, the nearby army was alarmed. But at that time, the army that attacked had already evacuated. Now the Wu Yue army is busy extinguishing the fire, robbing the food that has not been burned yet, and at the same time, it sends cavalry to pursue the enemy that has been attacked with all their might.
The burned granary store is stored there with enough food and a large amount of supplies needed for a 100,000 army for two months. If the fire continues like this, the supplies that can be rescued will be at least 40%. What’s more fatal is the blow to the morale of the army. Such a big fire will be seen from a distance. Once it spreads, all kinds of rumors will appear immediately. The soldiers will be afraid at that time, and how can the scared soldiers fight the army of the Governor of Huguang?
Originally, because he was named king, he successfully started a crime and fantasized about being able to unify the world and being full of energy. Wu Cheng Shijie had never been so afraid. Although the Wu Yue and Wu Kingdom were still very calm on the surface, it was already a storm. The more this happened, the more the four masters had to unite. Only by defending Wu Yue could they defend everything.
The people who set fire used a large number of weapons, arrows, tincture oil and liquor in the grain village as ignition materials. The fire could not be controlled and could not be extinguished. In the end, hundreds of soldiers died and injured and snatched 30% of the scorched food and supplies, and the morale on the front line began to shake.
The old Matou of Fengzi Camp had his own task. Just when Liulang and others were fighting with the Wuyue Navy in Yuxi River, the Fengzi Camp of Lao Matou had already arrived in Hezhou, Huaixi, and collected and recruited all supplies and boats that could be used to make floating bridges according to Liulang's orders.
