However, he already knew very well that just because of his subordinates who were like a frightened bird and had no morale, it was only a beautiful dream to go north to retake Huaian County. Even if he sent troops to drive away the besieged enemy troops and then defended the three fortresses including Shunsheng, Ding'an and Weizhou, it was obviously impossible to do so.
Not only that, once Tuoba Wei's army continued to move south, Lingxian Town had no danger to defend. Shi Guoliang had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to continue to flee south to Feihu Xing, intending to defend the dead.
Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fire
Such amazing bad news came from the rear, and Liang Hongyu was stunned and could hardly believe her ears!
In history, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. In order to ensure the safety of Huaian County, a strategic location, we are afraid that there will be any accidents in the lifeline of the entire army, even a little accident will not work!
She had already sent General Lai Wanzhi, the Tiger General, to lead an army of 60,000 to advance to Huaian County. The army is only ten miles away from Huaian County and is waiting to contact Shi Guoliang.
She did not intend to destroy the Xuande army that was alone and deeply rooted in the city in one fell swoop, but at least it could severely damage the troops of Zhan Hailiang and Tuoba Wei who had arrived in that area.
However, the situation is now changing, and the situation quickly and sharply takes a sharp turn!
As a veteran on the battlefield who has been through battle for a long time, Liang Hongyu was not panicked. Her first reaction was to immediately establish a logistics supply line between the Feihuxing Fortress in the south and the Huaian Front. She urgently ordered Lai Wanzhi to lead his officers and soldiers to go south immediately and must firmly guard the new logistics supply line of Shunsheng, Ding'an and Weizhou on this new logistics supply line!
She did not order Lai Wanzhi to lead his army to retake Huaian County, because that was simply unrealistic
After taking all the remedial measures within his ability, Liang Hongyu was anxiously waiting for news from Lai Wanzhijun in the hall of the temporary commander's mansion in Tiancheng County like an ant on a hot pan!
In the afternoon, most of the day passed, and there was no news there. She became more and more uneasy. A deep sense of powerlessness that had never been seen since she led her army to war. She felt very helpless. A small but strong figure standing like a javelin came to her mind for no reason. She suddenly felt much more at ease and hurriedly asked the personal guard to summon him!
Duan Xiáng was shocked when he walked into the hall!
Apart from the privacy he accidentally ran into her, he had never seen the handsome man act so helplessly!
Marshal, what big thing happened?
Liang Hongyu quickly walked forward and grabbed his little hand and said hurriedly: Xianger, what should aunt do now? Then she remembered that he might not know the whole story, so she told the current extremely serious situation. In fact, she didn't understand, what is the use of discussing such a major military event with such a child?
All this is just a subconscious act
After hearing this, Duan Xiáng sighed heavily: I have never liked to read military books and strategies with my father since I was a child. Even if I read it, I can't understand it. However, according to the words of my father, Shi, Hong, Zhou and other uncles, they have praised the commander's superb military formation. As the saying goes, "Planning is for people, and success is for heaven." The commander has devoted himself to the court and has a clear conscience. Why should he pay so much attention to victory, defeat, gains and losses? In the opinion of my child, you should take good care of yourself!"
After thinking about it, he seemed to be unsatisfied. As for the same sentence, whether it is a guard of the Grand Marshal or a housekeeper who bores you, I think the most important thing is that the Grand Marshal is good.
Liang Hongyu glared and said: Thank you for your concern, but how can you make up for the current crisis?
If the Grand Marshal is obsessed with this, he should ask my father to discuss the big plan before he believes in the child. If the Grand Marshal can always work together with the Grand Marshal, no matter how difficult it is, with the Grand Marshal's amazing talent, he will definitely be able to turn the world and turn danger into safety.
Liang Hongyu said in surprise: What does Xiáng'er mean? Could it be that General Duan has any strange intentions?
The Grand Marshal also knew that the child was born dull, but occasionally some premonitions appeared in his mind, and most of these premonitions were confirmed later... I can't say why. I always feel that the Grand Marshal should talk to my father more about it when he encounters something, rather than talking nonsense to the child.
Liang Hongyu said with a slight displeasure: Xianger thinks that the aunt is too long-winded, and has delayed your time playing with friends? Since that's the case, hurry up and go, aunt will never bother you again!
Duan Xiáng's eyes widened. The Grandmaster was really abnormal today. Not only did he look too anxious, but he was also angry with the child. He was not like the Grandmaster's usual style.
Liang Hongyu was suffocated, but no matter what, she still followed Xianger's advice and summoned Duan Shiheng to discuss it secretly...
The next morning, Liang Hongyu finally waited for news from Lai Wan there, but it was absolutely unfair, which shocked her again!
It turned out that when Lai Wanzhi led his army south to Luoji Town, more than 20 miles west of Shunsheng County, according to the Mahjong newspaper he sent, Tuoba Wei, the Xuande army who had detoured to the Huaian line after Zhan Hailiang, led more than 30,000 troops from his troops to take the lead and divided his troops to launch a fierce attack on three cities including Shunsheng, Ding'an and Weizhou.
The Huaian Fortress, which had only more than 3,000 people, had been caught by the enemy, and was already worried. When they saw a large number of enemy troops swarming all over the mountains, the officers and soldiers were all scared and fled in the wind!
Up to now, Tuoba Wei's troops have occupied these three cities that have already become extremely important in their strategic position!
Liang Hongyu couldn't help but tremble with her anxious reports!
The weak military advantage she gained by eliminating the rebels' more than 100,000 through the battle between Sanggan River and Baideng Mountain. Due to the collapse of the 100,000 official troops of Shi Guoliang's troops in Huaian County, it was immediately gone!
This is not only the case. At this point, her army was not only unable to obtain food and supplies through the rear base and transportation hub of Huaian County, but also unable to withdraw from Xuanfu Army Town. Even another strategic channel to Feihu Xing south was completely blocked. Her army was surrounded in the enemy-occupied area, and the logistics support route between the rear was completely cut off. It was a dilemma!
Even so, Liang Hongyu still had a fight. She did not order Lai Wanzhi to lead the army to continue to attack Shunsheng County, but instead stood by on time to take the opportunity to rise. After getting in touch with Shi Guoliang, who was stationed in Feihu Xing, she did not ask Shi Guoliang to send troops and launch an attack on the rebels of Tuoba Wei who was entrenched in Weizhou to open up the lifeline of the logistics support of the army.
It is because she and Duan Shiheng knew very well that the fall of fortresses such as Huaian and Shunsheng County had an invisible heavy blow to the morale of the officials. When the soldiers were not motivated, even if Lai Wanzhi and Shi Guoliang led their troops to attack the city, they would not be able to succeed.
At this point, Liang Hongyu had no choice but to report the current difficulties he was facing to the court, hoping that the Ministry of War would send a force that was good at attacking from Xuanfu Jun Town to attack Huaian County, and respond to the Lai Wanzhi army who was on standby on site to attack Zhan Hailiang's troops, and strive to open up this main logistics supply line as soon as possible!
This is very important because her army has not stored much food!
Emperor Hong Xian was shocked when he heard the news. In order to launch the Huaian Battle, he had basically allocated all the elite troops of the court. How could he draw out how many new forces at present? What's more, he must be a brave and warlike elite army?
In desperation, he could only find his eldest sister to discuss the matter urgently
The eldest princess was also embarrassed. She knew very well how huge the various materials consumed by the 300,000 troops every day. At present, not only must we recover the Huaian Fortress at all costs, but we must also do so as soon as possible!
But the mobile troops under her command, Xuanfu cavalry, were stationed in the Chang'an Triangle Zone and the Dading Fort Base in Liaodong, respectively, and were far away from Huai'an east and west. They could not relieve near-thirst, and attacking was not the strength of this light cavalry.
She had no choice but to hand over this important task to Zhao Huaiying, deputy general of the Xuan Liao army stationed in an important town in Xuanfu. Since she rushed to the east to defend the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, the Xuan Liao army left behind at the Xuanfu base, only 50,000 troops were left. She immediately ordered Zhao Huaiying to make an emergency mobilization and quickly assembled 30,000 main troops to march towards the Huaian area!
The eldest princess knew very well that the heavy responsibilities of this army were very arduous. They might face the Xuande army that was defending the city by 60,000 to 70,000 Xuande troops. Not only would they have to take down this strategic fortress as soon as possible, but they also had to echo Lai Wanzhi's east and west, responsible for opening up the traffic connection with the front-line troops. She was really unsure, but she had no choice at the moment...
After receiving the reply from the Ministry of War, Liang Hongyu felt a little relieved. For her, in addition to cooperating with Zhao Huaiying's Xuan Liao army to open up the lifeline of the army as soon as possible, the most urgent task is to boost morale, and the most effective method is to be a great victory!
Now there are two choices in front of Liang Hongyu. One is to command Zhou Chuzhi and Li Heng's troops to step up the siege and strive to capture the important city of Yunzhong as soon as possible; the second is to force Zhou Chuzhi to leave more than 10,000 cavalry to restrain Zhan Tianying and his son, and immediately lead the army eastward and attack Han Dong from both sides of the east and west with her main force of the army.
After repeatedly weighing the possibility of winning the two plans, Liang Hongyu set his sights on the 100,000 Shuozhou troops stationed in the area of Qingling Town, more than ten miles southwest of Changqing County.
In the end, she made up her mind and chose the latter!
Then Lai Wanzhi ordered his army of 60,000 to gather in Luoji Town, more than 20 miles west of Shunsheng County, to build a strong camp on the spot.
According to the analysis and evaluation of various Malay newspapers and staff, the Xuande army, which quietly deviated to the back line of her army, has reached 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and there are still follow-up troops that are constantly advancing, with an estimated total of no less than 100,000 people.
Lai Wanzhi's 60,000 troops were obviously not enough to come with the powerful Xuande army. The crowded Xuande army fought hard, so the order she gave Lai Wanzhi was to be responsible for restraining the Xuande army units entrenched on the back of the army, Shunsheng and Ding'an County, so as not to be attacked from her army.
In addition, after Zhao Huaiying's Xuanliao army arrived, he waited for an opportunity to launch an attack on the Xuande army of Zhan Hailiang's Huai'an Fortress.
In order to prepare for this battle, Duan Shiheng led a group of senior staff and guards to move his deputy commander forward to the westernmost Changqing County again
Three days later, at the beginning of Yin, at the darkest moment before dawn, Duan Shiheng assembled 60,000 troops to open the city gate and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Han Dong Shuozhou army entrenched in Qingling Town and its surrounding areas.
Zhou Chuzhi and Li Heng's troops were hiking in the morning and traveling at night. They also arrived at the scheduled attack position early yesterday morning and launched a sudden attack on the back of the Shuozhou Army almost at the same time!
Although the Shuozhou Army under Han Dong's troops was attacked from both sides, after the initial panic passed, the soldiers immediately formed a series of human walls and sharp gun tips with their tenacious fighting spirit, and firmly blocked the large number of officials and troops who were flocking to the camp.
Liang Hongyu made a quick decision and sent 10,000 Mengzhou troops to the battlefield. He worked together with the cavalry corps of Zhou Chuzhi, who were equally brave and tenacious. After three days and three nights of bloody battles, he finally broke through Han Dong's army camp.
Not only that, once Tuoba Wei's army continued to move south, Lingxian Town had no danger to defend. Shi Guoliang had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to continue to flee south to Feihu Xing, intending to defend the dead.
