The Yangtze River moat has always been an important reliance of the Southern Dynasty to defend the northern troops, but now it is reversed, and the Sichuan Qing soldiers have been used to resist the five loyal troops entering Sichuan.

Wang Zuntan listened to Li Guoying's words, his heart was a little calm, and when he looked at the Ming army camps and banners covering the sky and the sun on the other side of the river, his heart was no longer as panicked as Fang Cai.

For a while, he remembered the Fat Water War in his heart, but in his mind, he became Xie An, who was strategizing, and Wang Yan and the men under his command on the opposite side were Fu Jian, who was doomed to failure.

This story is secretly in line with the current situation, which makes Wang Zuntan feel very involved, and Wang Yan's 80,000 horses are much weaker than Fu Jian's courage to throw a whip and cut off the stream.

The reason why the Yangtze River is called a moat is indeed because it is impassable, there are not enough ships, and it is basically difficult to cross the river under the defense of enemy soldiers.

Two or three thousand people were sent at a time, and when the boat made a round trip, the people who were sent ashore in front of them were probably killed or rushed to the water to feed the fish.

Wang Zuntan took a breath, and then let out a long sigh, it seemed that as long as Wang Yan was blocked on the south bank, this battle would still be very easy to fight.

The Yangtze River is not a small river, a small river, especially in Sichuan and Shu, the water flow of the Yangtze River is much more rapid than the middle and lower reaches, plus there are enemy soldiers harassing, but don't want to build any pontoon bridge.

Wang Yan wants to cross the river, the first is to collect ships, the second is to attack a few ferries, and he has already prepared heavy troops at the ferries, whether he attacks the big ferry or Huangjiatuo, it is not a day and a half to be able to take it, Wang Yanguang to prepare the warship, it will take ten days and a half months.

During this time, Prince Su, who got the news, was enough to lead the main force of the Qing army to defeat the Ming army in the roundabout state, and even if Wang Yan crossed the river at that time, the general trend would have gone, and it would be too late!

"Pass the order, let the scouts patrol along the river, pay attention to the situation on the other side, and once they find an abnormal situation, they will come to report immediately!"

The Middle Route Army has been stationed in Ba County for several days, and the battle reports on the East Route Army and the West Route Army have been sent to Wang Yan one after another, Ding Kuichu detoured to the state according to the plan, which made Wang Yan feel a little surprised, and Wanxian had already fallen into the hands of Wu Sangui, and the East Route Army did not cross the Yangtze River, which was also somewhat unexpected by him.

Judging from the current news, the main force of the Qing army is divided into two parts, one in the area of Chengdu and one in the area of Wanxian in Kuizhou, and the West Route Army occupies Hezhou, so the two Qing troops are separated.

Where is Hezhou located? He is in the north of Chongqing Prefecture, which is the confluence of the three rivers of Qujiang, Jialing and Fujiang, where the Southern Song Dynasty built Diaoyu City and Mengyuan to tug of war, because this place is the Chengdu Plain, the main road into Chongqing.

After Ding Kuichu occupied this city, the two Qing armies fell into a situation where they could not support each other, and the Ming army according to the original plan, as long as the middle route army could break through the Yangtze River, it would be able to attack Wu Sangui in Wanxian along the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the East Route Army would annihilate Wu Sangui first, then Chengdu Haoge would immediately be alone, and the Ming army would completely grasp the initiative in Sichuan and Shu.

It's just that at this time, the Western Route Army had already marched to Hezhou, and the Central Route Army was stationed in Ba County for a few days, but still did not find a way to cross the Yangtze River. Even if the Ming army intended to storm the ferry, there were not enough ships.

In the hall of the Ba County Mansion, the main generals and strategists of the Middle Route Army gathered together.

"According to the plan, we should have crossed the Yangtze River by now, and entered Kuizhou to cooperate with Gao Yigong to annihilate the Qing troops near Wanxian first, but this Yangtze River is in front of us, and the army is at a loss, what do you think, let's hear it." Wang Yan sat in the hall and looked at everyone to ask questions.

"The Western Route Army occupies Luzhou and crosses the river to Hezhou, there should be a lot of ships left in Luzhou, and it is useless for our army to sit here, so it is better to send someone to Luzhou to collect ferries." Yuan Zongdi got up and said.

Dai Zhifan shook his head, "Luzhou and Ba County are far away, it is not easy to come and go, and it is estimated that there will not be too many ships." The Western Route Army was able to cross the river smoothly, because there were no Qing troops to block it, but there were Qing troops guarding us, and if there were not enough ferries, we still couldn't cross the river. The last general thought that it was better for the army to move westward and drive directly to Luzhou to cross the river. ”

The opinions of these two people represented the thoughts of almost everyone in the hall, so after the two of them finished speaking, the rest of the people were silent. Seeing this, Chen Bangyan said in a heavy tone: "Going to Luzhou to collect ferries and crossing the river from Ba County takes time, and second, it does not ensure that the ferries are enough for troops to cross the river. The army drove directly to Luzhou, which was also inappropriate, the first detour was too far, and the second we moved, and the Qing troops on the other side could also move. One thing that is shared in both of these strategies is that there is no guarantee that they will succeed, and even fifty percent of them are feasible. ”

"Now that the Western Route Army has marched to Hezhouting, if we take too long and the army fails to cross the river in time, I am afraid that the previous plan will not be implemented." Wang Ji said worriedly.

Wang Yan listened to the discussion and nodded, he knew very well in his heart that after Ding Kuichu occupied Hezhou, he would definitely become the target of Haoge's onslaught, if he could not quickly cross the river, complete the strategic goal, and then return to Hezhou, it would be equivalent to selling Ding Kuichu.

This may not only lead to the annihilation of the entire Western Route Army, but may even collapse on the entire front.

Wang Yan has always been the support of the Ming army of all departments, and he is worthy of trust, and Ding Kuichu is rare to be so powerful, he can't let the Western Route Army down.

At this time, Yuan and Dai listened to Chen Bangyan's words, and hurriedly asked: "Neither strategy works, what can Mr. do?" ”

Although Chen Bangyan only pointed out the problem, he did not have a countermeasure, and if the Yangtze River was so easy to cross, it would not be possible for the Southern Dynasty to resist the northern army.

Seeing this, Liu Fangliang immediately clasped his fists and said: "Xianggong, both strategies are flawed at the moment, but the general thinks that before there is no better way, whether it is to transfer ships from Luzhou or the army to the west of Luzhou, he must first make a decision. There is no room for loss in fighters, and any choice is better than waiting, otherwise once the situation in Hezhou deteriorates, it will be useless! ”

Liu Fangliang can be said to have broken the stakes in one sentence, making Wang Yan look up to him. Yes, if the army has been consumed so much in Ba County, it will not only be detrimental to the morale of the army, but it is more likely to miss important fighters, which will ruin the good situation that the Ming army has achieved at the beginning.

Wang Yan listened, squinted and thought for a moment, Dai Zhifan suggested that the army go to Luzhou, but seemed to ignore one point, the army moved, and the Qing soldiers on the other side would also move, which could not save much time, but opened the distance from Wanxian.

Looking at it this way, it is more beneficial to transfer ships from Luzhou. Wang Yan thought about this. Then he ordered: "Wang Ji listens to the order, you take 3,000 cavalry and go to Luzhou to get the ship quickly!" The army is stationed here, and then think of other strategies! ”

"Nuo~" Wang Ji immediately got up, and the armor and swords collided together, and there was a loud sound. He bowed and turned to leave the lobby.

At this time, in the hall, Jiang Tianyi got up and hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong, when Huang Tiandang fought in the first battle, Han Shizhong trapped Wanyan Zongbi in the south of the Yangtze River, Zongbi had no hope of breaking through, and spent a lot of money to solicit ways to get out of the predicament from the people, and defeated Han Shizhong and successfully broke through. Now that our army is stuck here, why not also try to ask the people for a way to cross the river, the local gentry and people are always more familiar with the water conditions of the Yangtze River than us outsiders! ”
