Section 40 The Battle of the Nine Yellow 5
readx;
The east of Guanxi County is adjacent to the five lakes, the northeast Jincheng Mansion and Huanggang are connected into a piece, especially from the east of the big river, cross the red cliff and enter the Huanggang territory of a horse Pingchuan, and the southeast of Jincheng borders with Yueyang, Lujiang and Jincheng become a barrier in the east of Kansai is also the gate to enter the rich land in the southeast, the Lujiang River can go down the river to Baling, and the northeast is the western boundary of Yueyang, this geographical environment has created the best way for the army of the West Xinjiang to go east is to go down the water, from Jincheng along the big river east to Huanggang is a road, from the Lujiang River along the Lujiang River to the south of the Baling is the south line。 Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For the western Xinjiang, there should be two routes with their own advantages and disadvantages, the north line of the river waterway is unimpeded, feasible big ships, the Hanzhong naval army can go straight downstream, and most of the plains along the river, except for the border area of Jincheng and Huanggang is slightly more rugged, most of the rest of the area is convenient for transportation, but also conducive to the rapid advance of the army, but Huanggang is the focus of the defense, along the river has set up a lot of defensive water battalions, both can be defended and checked, now these water battalions have been greatly strengthened with the tension of the situation, the water village has set up a lot of trebuchets and fire crossbows, enough to pose a considerable threat to the fleet trying to go south along the waterway, and there are still five divisions stationed in Fucheng, Now the naval forces are also being transferred north from Yueyang to Huanggang, and Western Xinjiang will not fail to consider this, and it will be difficult for them to take Huanggang in one go. If the western Xinjiang chooses the southern route, theoretically it should be much easier, Baling is far inferior to Huanggang in terms of defensive strength and deployment, but the river from Lujiang to Baling is narrow, and most of the waterway traffic is dominated by small and medium-sized boats. The land route is rugged and difficult, the transportation is inconvenient, and Baling is adjacent to the territory of the Maqi Khan, and the actions of the western Xinjiang in Baling will inevitably be restricted by the Maqi Khan, especially the Maqi Khans are now fighting happily in the peninsula area.
Situ Biao's face gradually calmed down, and now it is useless to complain angrily, it is still right to calm down and think about how to deal with a possible crisis. The two paths to the east of Western Xinjiang have their own advantages and disadvantages. There are possible surnames, but Huanggang is not worth worrying about now being heavily guarded, but Baling, although there are two divisions of the Fifth Army Corps stationed, but once it is attacked by the Western Xinjiang Army, can it withstand it?
"If I were Li Wufeng, I would definitely choose Baling as the main point of attack. We have 100,000 heavy troops in Huanggang, although his first army is strong, but after all, there are only 100,000 people, and the terrain and climate of Huanggang must have much impact on the Western Xinjiang Army that they are good at fighting in the north, once they fall into a bitter battle in Huanggang, I am afraid it will also have a great impact on their morale, so I infer that Li Wufeng will choose the front line of Baling, although the road is rough, but the Lujiang Naval Army has been an army for a long time, and our defense in Baling is not stable. I'm afraid that for them, except for the Heshou Pass, which is more difficult, everything else is easy to overcome, and a variety of factors are combined, and choosing Baling should be a more realistic plan. Situ Biao had slowly returned to normal at this time, and his thinking became clearer.
"Well, His Highness is right, Li Wufeng's choice of the southern front as a breakthrough should be a wiser choice, but although their Lujiang Naval Army has been in army for a long time. However, the scale is too small, and it is unlikely that the naval army will attack Baling from the waterway alone, if it is said that the land and water advance, then the rugged terrain between Baling and the Lujiang River is another test for them, and their subordinates also take this into account. He has already ordered the reinforcement of the defense of Heshou Pass between Baling and Lujiang, and it is not easy for Li Wufeng to break through there, if His Highness is not at ease, he may as well appropriately strengthen the strength of Heshou Pass, the rebuilding of Heshou Pass cost us a lot of money, and at that time, it was in consideration of the possible threat from the west, so we deliberately expanded the scale of defense against the west and raised the defense standard, and now it is time for it to play its role. ”
Brushing a few thin whiskers under his chin, Hu Tingzhi was very satisfied with Situ Biao's ability to take this into account, fortunately, he was also prepared, the strengthening of the defense of Heshou Pass not only firmly locked the possibility of the Lujiang River going south on the land route, but also the Heshou Water Wharf next to Heshou Pass was the big head, and after taking Baling, he was worried about the threat of the Lujiang River Navy, so he specially chose the narrow part of the river to build a stone fort that could block the waterway, and dozens of giant trebuchets and fire crossbow launchers were next to the city wall of Heshou Pass。
Hearing Hu Tingzhi say this, Situ Biao's mood couldn't help but relax, "Tingding, are you sure that Heshou Pass can stop the Western Xinjiang Army from going east?"
"Your Highness, there is no checkpoint that can really block the attack of the army, after all, it is people who determine the outcome of the war, not facilities, but Heshou Pass is indeed quite perfect, Your Highness is afraid that he has not visited it, and his subordinates have gone down twice, if only one wing is needed to resist the attack of a division, unless Xijiang is willing to take a legion to break through from there, otherwise the result there may disappoint Li Wufeng, I also believe that the military staff officers below Li Wufeng should know this, so I still don't believe that they will choose the southern front。 Hu Tingzhi's euphemistic words actually expressed dissenting opinions in disguise.
"What does that Tingzhi mean in the western frontier, or may the northern line be chosen as the breakthrough point?" Situ Biao stared at Hu Tingzhi's face.
"This, Your Highness, to be honest, my subordinates now have no bottom in their hearts, and the three prefectures adjacent to Guanxi, except for Yueyang because the border area with Jincheng and Lujiang is full of lofty mountains and mountains and has no road to pass, Huanggang and Baling are possible, and it is not necessary to guarantee that the people of Western Xinjiang can really cross the steep Wushan, we can only do this step now, it is only right to concentrate on taking Jiujiang, as long as we take Jiujiang before the Western Xinjiang Army enters the Five Lakes, we will be invincible." Hu Tingzhi finally said what he thought, of course, crossing Wushan is just a joke, Wushan is famous for its steep empire, many tourists and mountaineering enthusiasts like to find a Range Rover here, but they have never heard of an army being able to cross here, "At present, what we need to supervise most is the southern line of the Jiujiang River, let those two divisions strengthen the attack, Cheng Dayou does not have many troops on the southern front, and it is completely dependent on the terrain to resist, as long as we strengthen the attack, I think they can even attack Jiujiang faster than Luoshan." ”
Situ Biao's gaze returned to the map and patrolled for a long time, before he said hatefully: "Tingzhi is right, it seems that this king must personally go into battle to supervise the battle, or not, Tingzhi, you sit in Yueyang on behalf of this king, this king will rush to Anqing, this king wants to see if he has become a rebel army in Dayou, and he has really become an iron army!"
Seeing Hu Tingzhi stunned for a moment and wanting to wait for another word, Situ Biao waved his hand impatiently and said: "This king has made up his mind, Tingzhi doesn't need to say much, wait for Jiujiang to be taken, let's celebrate again, and the defense of the west will be up to Tingzhi, although there is no big move in the western Xinjiang now, but we can't take it lightly, the information must be grasped at any time, as long as the Western Xinjiang naval army moves, it means that Li Wufeng will make a move, and you must report it to me immediately." ”
Seeing that the sovereign's determination has been made, Hu Tingzhi will not repeat it, now this battle is like a race between the two sides, it should be said that according to the current situation, it is a matter of time before Jiujiang falls, but can Xijiang sit back and watch Jiujiang fall? If Xijiang can attack the inland of Wuhu before Jiujiang is breached, it means that the momentum of Xijiang sweeping across Wuhu is irreversible, and all the forces that block it will be swept into the garbage heap of history, and if it can solve Jiujiang before Xijiang invades the inland of Wuhu, then even if Xijiang can attack the inland of Wuhu, then this battle will become the most unwilling protracted war in Xijiang, and the balance of war will also be on the side of the Situ family, Situ Tai will also launch an offensive in the north without urging, and those wait-and-see forces in Yanjing will fall to the Situ family, and the final outcome will become something that no one can predict, all of this will be drawn in the time of the fall of Jiujiang。
At the same time that the Jiuhuang War was becoming more and more intense, the despicable and filthy guys that Situ Biao talked about didn't seem to be idle, at least the bitch who could only talk in Situ Biao's mouth didn't help his eldest brother design him as Situ Biao guessed.
The beautiful and shining phoenix eyes flashed a trace of majesty, Situ Yushuang never thought that the situation would develop to this point, she knew that her sixth brother was only afraid of gritting her teeth with hatred for herself at this time, if it wasn't for her own efforts to merge and promise to make a promise, her sixth brother might not easily send troops to Jiujiang no matter what, he would rather watch Li Wufeng and Situ Tai fight to the end and eventually perish than participate in it, Situ Yushuang knows the thoughts of his brothers better than anyone else.
But what Situ Yushuang didn't expect in the end was that Yusuf, who had been swearing all the time, had promised to transfer a division to cooperate with the Eighth Army to go south to assist in the capture of Jiujiang, but Yusuf suddenly changed his mind at the last moment, and refused to send troops in the name of some changes in the western Xinjiang, which directly led to the Eighth Army Corps, which was hesitant because of his inconsistent attitude with the seventh brother, and did not move. This result threw Situ Biao, who was originally the last to reluctantly join, on the cusp, Jiujiang couldn't take it for a long time, and the main force of the Sixth Army was dragged in the Jiujiang battle, and the pressure brought by the First Army of Western Xinjiang, who was watching like a tiger, could even be deeply felt by Situ Yushuang in Yanjing.
