Chapter 498: Feng Ziqi is a ruthless person

Chongke City went all the way northwest to the county town of Youshang County, which was only three hundred kilometers, and judging from the speed of both sides, as long as he was allowed to open up the distance for so many two days, then the Southern Navy could not expect to catch up with him.

After he led the last 30,000 main forces of his army to Youshang County, he would use the 3rd Division, 9th Division, and cavalry units as the core to resist the complex terrain of Youshang County.

We can't be stupid enough to fight that kind of positional warfare anymore, and we can't stupidly play large-scale field battles with the South China Navy in the field.

He made up his mind, and when he arrived in Youshang County, he would definitely not engage with the main forces of the Southern Navy, but wander around, conduct small-scale ambush battles, and cavalry attack their logistics supply line positions.

If you can't kill the Southern Navy, you have to toss and kill the Southern Navy.

The purpose was not to defeat the Southern Navy, but to make the Southern Navy feel that it would be more troublesome to attack Youshang County, and once it marched on a large scale, it would be pinned down a lot of the main forces.

Once the Southern Navy has this feeling, then it is very likely that they will temporarily give up conquering Youshang County in the case of subsequent encirclement and suppression by various states.

After all, Youshang County is not a very important place, not a transportation hub, nor an economically rich place, it is just a remote and poor county in Zisheng Prefecture, and whether to fight or not to fight Youshang County will not have any practical impact on the overall strategic layout of the Southern Navy in Zisheng Prefecture.

said that it had changed, and Feng Ziqi was counting that after he arrived in Youshang County, the Southern Navy would not spend too much energy to deal with him.

This statement, to a certain extent, is still to hand over the initiative to the South China Navy.

But this is the best solution he can think of at the moment.

Otherwise, he would have only a few other options, or run to the north and wait for the troops to be annexed by the northern states; or be completely wiped out by the Southern Navy; Either surrender to the Southern Navy;

And he didn't want to make any of these three choices!

Even if Youshang County is a poor place, even if the strategic initiative is in the hands of the Southern Navy, he can still retain his independent status when he goes to Youshang County, and he still has elite troops like the Third Division in his hands, and he can fight back at any time.

Even if it's hard, but there is still hope!

With this mentality, Feng Ziqi ran all the way with the troops!

I have to say that Feng Ziqi was decisive enough, and the two groups of more than 50,000 troops behind him gave up when they said they would give up, without any hesitation at all, and they didn't even expect two groups of 50,000 troops to be able to put up effective resistance.

In the end, Feng Ziqi fled all the way to Youshang County, and the two batches of Zisheng Army behind them also collapsed and surrendered one after another without much resistance!

All this was similar to what Feng Ziqi expected.

In this regard, even Zhang Hanqiu, who was chasing behind, had to admire this Feng Ziqi, who was a ruthless person!

Be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to your own people!

After escaping to Youshang County, Feng Ziqi did not rest, preparing to rely on the complex terrain in Youshang County and his own familiarity with this place to carry out asymmetrical resistance.

I have to say that this move really caused a certain loss to the Southern Navy in the pursuit of the past, and the tens of thousands of main forces in the pursuit of the past actually turned You Shangjun by half, but he was stunned that he did not find Feng Ziqi's main force, but his own logistics troops were attacked several times.

For a unit with heavy firepower and a large number of horses like the Southern Navy, the dependence on the logistics line is very large, and there is no railway or river on the way from Youshangjun to Chongke City, and the logistics supply depends on horse-drawn carriages.

This is supplemented by the nearest railway station, which is more than 150 kilometers away.

This is actually more than the front-line supply capacity of the Southern Navy.

Tens of thousands of main forces entered Youshang County and did not find the enemy's main force, but the logistics line was attacked several times.

What's more, after so many days have passed, the situation in the northern states, Jingzhou in the east, and Quyang Prefecture in the west is also unstable.

The South China Navy is now in urgent need of more troops to maintain the situation, and it is impossible to say that the main force of more than 50,000 people will remain here for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Hanqiu made a strategy of taking the initiative to retreat, after all, he couldn't destroy the entire overall situation because of such a small place as Youshang County and because of Feng Ziqi's 20,000 or 30,000 remnants.

Zhang Hanqiu led the main force to retreat on his own initiative, which made Feng Ziqi, who had been hiding in Tibet for several days, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, Feng Ziqi was worried every day, although his strength is not as good as before, and the future is very slim, but he will be able to be safe for a while.

Feng Ziqi was given a respite,

According to the latest order of the command, the Yugoslav Navy will make certain adjustments in order to deal with subsequent threats.

The overall strategy is very simple, to adopt a strategic defensive posture against Jingzhou and the northern states, and the northern states will not be able to take it in a day or two, and it is difficult to have a decisive effect, and if we continue to go north, we will continue to stretch the supply line of the southern navy.

If this war continues to expand, it is very likely that the South Korean Navy will be completely crushed.

Now, although the northern states are extremely jealous of the southern navy, they have adopted a posture of joint suppression, after all, it is unlikely that the northern states will completely let go of each other's prejudices and fears, and really join forces to deal with him Lin Ziran.

It is better to maintain the current situation and focus on Quyang Prefecture instead.

To this end, the South China Navy is preparing to adopt a strategic offensive posture against Quyang Prefecture, preparing to mobilize troops from Zishengzhou to advance westward, and at the same time cooperate with the First Army of the northern front of Nanhai Prefecture to launch a two-sided flank attack on Quyang Prefecture.

After taking Quyang Prefecture, the entire area controlled by the Southern Navy will be able to be cultivated into one.

If Ningyu Prefecture and Zhongluo Prefecture are taken in the future, then the entire six southern states of Daheng will all fall under the control of the Southern Navy.

But can the other states sit idly by and watch Lin Ziran continue to expand?

Definitely not!

Before, Lin Ziran hadn't taken Zisheng Prefecture yet, and the northern feudal towns had already united to intervene, but after the Southern Navy defeated the 70,000 intervention troops in Quyang Prefecture and the 50,000 intervention troops in the northern states, the remaining 150,000 second intervention troops in the northern states did not dare to continue south.

However, even if the second batch of intervention troops took the initiative to retreat, it did not mean that the northern states retreated, they were still discussing with each other, compromising, and preparing to send more troops together to kill Lin Ziran.

In short, you can't watch Lin Ziran unify the six southern states!

The intervention of the northern states was inevitable.

But the process is complex.

As for Lin Ziran, naturally he would not be stupid enough to wait for the northern states to complete the negotiation and form a joint army of hundreds of thousands to go south, and then deal with it.

What Lin Ziran has to do is to take advantage of the fact that the northern states have not yet reached an agreement, and while there is still time, first take down Quyang Prefecture, which is strategically important in the middle of Nanhai Prefecture, Dongding Prefecture, Zisheng Prefecture, and Zhongluo Prefecture.

Taking Quyang Prefecture will not only be able to control a large area of this region, population, resources, industry, etc., but also further open up the Luo River waterway.

In the future, the soldiers and materials or ordinary goods of Luohai City will be able to go all the way north along the Luo River and enter Quyang Prefecture, which is to further go north to the northern states.

The Luo River is not just a local river, but a large river that originates in the northwest region of Daheng, flows through many states of Daheng, and finally flows into Shayang Bay, which has an important role in irrigation and navigation.

If you want to train the six southern states into one, then Quyang Prefecture must be taken down.
