Chapter 1151: Breaking the Ferry
The news of Song Cheng's army's successful occupation of Hua's city reached the Jin army camp on the north bank of the Ganges River in a very short time, and made all the Jin army soldiers in the camp excited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After learning the news, Huaan rushed out of the tent with excitement to celebrate this great victory with his soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Hua's City has been broken by General Song, so the back road of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Tianzhu will be cut off, and the last general feels that after learning this news, Tianzhu soldiers and horses will definitely immediately counterattack Hua's City, and the main force of our army must be ready to attack the Ganges River crossing at any time." A Jin army general Zhengse said.
Hua An nodded, pointed to the large number of arrows piled up on the side of the ferry port, and said: "These arrows are enough for our army to launch a strong attack on the opposite bank, immediately send these arrows to the soldiers, in addition, send scouts to closely monitor every move on the other side, as long as the main force of Tianzhu returns to attack Hua's City, the main force of our army will immediately launch a strong attack on the opposite bank." ā
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general hurriedly responded.
Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at several generals beside him, and said softly: "In this battle, General Song Cheng has made great contributions, and this king thinks that in the future, the first metropolitan protector of Anxi will be served by General Song Cheng, what do you think?" ā
"Wang Shang is wise, General Song has been staying in Liangzhou, and he is most familiar with the situation in the west, and letting General Song Cheng be the capital protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate will definitely convince the soldiers." A Jin army general agreed.
"The last general also agreed to let General Song serve as the first protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate." Wang San nodded in agreement.
Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Although the Dadu Protector seems to be a very big official position, it is a very hard errand to stay away from the capital, so no matter who serves as the Dadu Protector, it will not last for many years, and it will be replaced in three or five years at most, so as to return to the capital to enjoy the blessings." After speaking, he looked at the generals.
In fact, there is another meaning in Hua'an's words, that is, the Dadu Hu, who holds military power, cannot be allowed to control a large number of troops in the Duhu Mansion for a long time, so as to prevent the fact that the tail is not lost, as long as the Dadu Hu is replaced regularly, this situation can be well controlled, as for the words of Dadu Hu's hard work, it is just a euphemistic expression.
When the generals heard this, they naturally all strongly supported it, after all, as long as they were rotated once every three or five years, they all had the possibility of becoming the protector of the capital, so as to achieve the achievements of the glory of the ancestors.
At this time, all the soldiers in the Jin army camp were sleepy, and the news that Hua's City was breached by Song Cheng's army made them can't help but revel in the camp.
"Your Majesty, there may be a big battle tomorrow, so let the soldiers have a good rest to deal with tomorrow's battle." Wang San said softly.
Obviously, Wang San was quite worried about the extreme excitement of the soldiers, after all, if he didn't rest as soon as possible at this moment, when he fought tomorrow, the soldiers might not have much energy, and once the soldiers ran out of energy, they would not be able to fight well.
Hua An nodded approvingly, looked at a general, and said, "Immediately stop the soldiers from messing around in the camp, and let all the soldiers return to the camp immediately to rest." ā
"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals were ordered to leave.
Subsequently, under the constraints of the Jin generals, the Jin soldiers returned to the camp tent to rest, and Hua'an also returned to the Chinese army's tent to rest in order to maintain the necessary energy.
At the same time, the Jin army also sent a large number of scouts to the opposite bank to reconnoiter the situation of the Tianzhu army, so as to keep abreast of the movements of the Tianzhu soldiers and horses and make reference for the next move.
The news of the breach of Hua's city also reached the Tianzhu army camp on the north bank of the Ganges River crossing, but because the Hua's city was breached by the Jin army, it was not good news, so this news was not widely spread in the Tianzhu camp, and only a small number will know about it in the future.
The Tianzhu generals immediately reported this extremely important situation to the Sea Protector King.
"What, Hua's City was breached by the Jin army." When the Sea Protector King heard this, he was extremely shocked and rushed out of the big tent.
He looked up in the direction of Fahrenheit, but the fog was so thick that he couldn't see anything, which made him rather frustrated.
"What the hell is going on, the main force of the Jin army is on the other side, how can Hua City be broken by the Jin army?" The Sea Guardian King asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty the King of China, the Jin army that broke through Hua's city was only 3,000 people, relying on the cover of the fog, quietly touched Hua's city, and took advantage of the slack defenders in the middle of the night to suddenly attack, and our army's soldiers and horses in Hua's city were annihilated by the Jin army before they had time to resist." A Tianzhu general said helplessly.
When the King of the Sea Protector heard this, he was very annoyed, when the Jin army borrowed arrows from the grass boat last night, he thought that the Jin army might send a small force to attack Tianzhu, for this reason, let half of the soldiers and horses of the large battalion strictly defend the inside and outside of the camp, so as not to let the Jin army have a chance, but he did not expect that this time, the Jin army targeted Hua's city, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to capture Hua's city.
"This king has taken every precaution, and he never thought that the Jin army would actually target Hua's city twenty miles away this time." The Sea Guardian King said with annoyance.
Obviously, after the Jin army attacked the ship camp and granary one after another, the Sea Protector King had raised his vigilance, but he didn't expect that the Jin army actually stretched out his hand to Hua's city twenty miles away, thus catching Tianzhu's soldiers and horses off guard, however, regret and chagrin are useless, right now, Hua's city has been occupied by the Jin army, and it is futile to say anything.
"Your Majesty, now that Hua City has been broken by the Jin army, our army must immediately return to Hua City and recapture Hua City as soon as possible!" A Tianzhu general Zhengse said.
"Yes! Your Majesty, Hua's City is the capital of my Tianzhu, and we must recapture it as soon as possible, otherwise, my Tianzhu is in danger of losing the country. Another Tianzhu general said.
The Sea Protector King froze and said, "You are right, our army must recapture Hua's City as soon as possible, and order the whole army to prepare to pull out the camp." ā
"Your Majesty, what if the main force of our army pulls out the camp and retreats eastward, and the main force of the Jin army on the north bank suddenly attacks the ferry?" A Tianzhu general hurriedly asked.
King Haihu thought for a moment, and said: "At this moment, retaking Hua's City is more important than anything else, as long as our army can recapture Hua's City, even if the ferry is broken by the Jin army, it doesn't matter, the order, leave 20,000 troops to garrison the ferry, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will immediately set off and march towards Hua's City." ā
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Tianzhu generals accepted the order and immediately conveyed it.
Subsequently, the main army of Tianzhu quietly left the camp on the south bank of the ferry and rushed to the direction of Hua's city at the fastest speed, preparing to take advantage of the Jin army's unstable foothold to recapture Hua's city in one fell swoop.
The Tianzhu army mobilized troops and horses to Hua's city on a large scale, and such a big action was naturally easily detected by the Jin army scouts, and immediately returned to the north bank to report to Hua'an.
When Hua'an learned of this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the battalion and prepare to launch a strong attack on the south bank of the ferry.
After all the soldiers of the Jin army boarded the ships, it was already early in the morning, the sky had begun to slowly brighten, and the fog had dispersed a lot, which was very conducive to the army to launch a strong attack on the opposite bank.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are ready to set off at any time." Wang San looked at Hua'an and reported with a positive color.
Hua An nodded lightly, and said: "The order is given, and the army will set off immediately and break through the south bank of the ferry in one fell swoop." ā
"Let's go." The Jin generals loudly gave the order to go out and led their troops and horses to the south bank to quickly kill.
More than 1,000 ships of the Jin army, carrying tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, killed to the south bank of the ferry, the huge scale, so that Hua'an is quite proud, this elite army of soldiers and horses has been equipped with a large number of arrows, and the Tianzhu soldiers and horses on the opposite bank have been reduced a lot, for this reason, Hua'an has a very high confidence in this army to break through the south bank, and feel that this army of soldiers and horses will be able to live up to expectations to capture the south bank of the ferry, and open up the road to cross the river for the main army.
"Your Majesty, in a day or two at most, we will be able to drink and celebrate in Fahrenheit." Wang San leaned on the railing of the high platform and said excitedly.
Hua An nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, we want to celebrate the great victory of our army in the Tianzhu Palace." After speaking, he looked at the thousand ships that were heading towards the opposite shore.
The Jin army launched a large-scale attack, which naturally caused the tension of the 20,000 Tianzhu soldiers and horses on the other side, at this moment, their strength was not as good as the attacking Jin army soldiers and horses, but when the king of the sea was leaving, he handed over the defense task on the south bank of the ferry to them, so no matter how much pressure there was, they must hold the south bank of the ferry to show their dignity as Tianzhu soldiers.
In order to hold the ferry, almost all of the 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind by Tianzhu went to the border of the ferry port to set up defenses to prevent the attacking Jin soldiers from landing on the shore, and in this way, the Tianzhu camp was completely empty, as long as a small Jin army launched an attack on the Tianzhu camp, the Tianzhu camp could be captured, and the grain and grass and other materials in the camp could be burned.
And such a small army of the Jin army exists, that is, the small army of 300 people who successfully burned the grain and grass of the Tianzhu camp, at this time, this small army of 300 people has quietly marched in the direction of the Tianzhu camp, and is ready to attack the Tianzhu camp at any time.
The Jin army consumed a large number of arrows from Tianzhu soldiers and horses at night with the tactics of grass boats, and at the same time, the Jin army also got a large number of arrows, which directly led to the Jin army's arrows being very sufficient, while the arrows of the Tianzhu army were relatively nervous.
For this reason, when the Jin army and horses attacked, they could attack the Tianzhu soldiers and horses defending on the other side without any scruples, but the Tianzhu soldiers and horses did not have enough arrows to fight back, and the resistance was relatively reluctant.
Under the continuous attack of the Jin army's continuous rain of arrows, the defensive Tianzhu soldiers and horses suffered great losses, while the losses of the Jin army were much smaller, and the situation became more and more favorable to the Jin army.
The soldiers and horses of the Jin army, which had gained the advantage, began to continue to advance to the shore, and had the momentum of forcibly landing and capturing the south bank of the ferry, but the Tianzhu soldiers and horses obviously had no ability to stop it, so they could only barely resist.
The ships of the Jin army gradually approached the shore, and the vanguard, under the cover of the shield soldiers, jumped from the ships and launched a fierce attack on the Tianzhu army defending the southern bank.
In the close-range battle, the Jin army still had the advantage, forcing the soldiers and horses defending the south bank of Tianzhu to retreat step by step.
And just when the Jin army and the defending Tianzhu soldiers and horses were fighting fiercely, the three hundred Jin army divisions suddenly launched an attack on the Tianzhu camp, and very smoothly attacked the Tianzhu camp.
After attacking the Tianzhu camp, the 300 soldiers of the Jin army immediately set fire to the camp to deter the resisting Tianzhu soldiers and horses, so that they completely lost the will to resist.
The soldiers of the Jin army, who were attacking on the shore, naturally discovered the fire in the Tianzhu camp one step earlier, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they launched a more fierce attack on the Tianzhu army, and the Tianzhu soldiers and horses also quickly found that the camp was burning a fierce fire, and their morale was low, and they felt that there was no hope of blocking the Jin army's attack.
The Tianzhu army soon collapsed in morale and began to flee in all directions, while the Jin soldiers who attacked the southern bank pursued them fiercely, surrounded some of the Tianzhu soldiers and horses, and forced them to surrender.
After a period of fighting, the soldiers and horses of the Jin army finally completely controlled the south bank of the ferry, and separately launched a pursuit of the fleeing Tianzhu soldiers and horses to expand the results of the battle.
"Report, king, our army has successfully entered the south bank, and the 20,000 troops of Tianzhu have been defeated by our army." A scout rushed back to the North Shore and reported to Huaan.
Hua An was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at the few generals beside him, and said: "The south bank has been taken by our army, and the large and small ships will soon return to the north bank, so that the soldiers of the large battalion are ready to cross the river." ā
"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals responded with a straight face.
"Your Majesty, now that the ferry has been captured by our army, as long as our army crosses the river, we can launch a final attack on the main force of Tianzhu." Wang San said happily.
Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, the destruction of Tianzhu Kingdom is only in the last few days, as long as the Tianzhu Kingdom is destroyed, my Great Jin can establish the Tianzhu Governor's Mansion here." ā
"Tianzhu Governor's Mansion?" Wang San said curiously.
"Yes! The area of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is very large, and several Governorships must be set up to facilitate management, and the Tianzhu Metropolitan Prefecture can be established in Tianzhu, in addition, Gandhara's Metropolitan Prefecture will establish the Gandharian Governorate, and Tocharo will establish the Tocharian Governorate, and the Hezhong Prefecture will establish the Persian Governorate, and the Persian Prefecture will establish the Persian Governorate, all of which are under the management of the Anxi Metropolitan Governorate, so that my Great Jin Dynasty will definitely be able to completely control the entire Anxi. Huaan Zhengse said.
Hearing this, Wang San nodded and said, "What the king said is that the area of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is too large, and it is necessary to establish a subordinate Governor's Mansion to make it easier to manage. ā
Soon, the ships on the south bank returned to the north shore one after another, and all the remaining Jin soldiers and horses were transported to the south bank, because the Jin army had a large number of camels and war elephants, and there were many military supplies, so one trip was not finished, in order to transport all the materials and men and horses to the south bank, the fleet went back and forth three times.
