As the last 10,000 cavalry of the Black Sword Corps retreated to the defense area of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, which was only a few kilometers wide, the gunfire around the Beijing Division once again took the opportunity to come down.

Yin Guangqing Zhongqing did not stupidly lead the Second Cavalry Army to attack the defense line of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, the defense line of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, the original strength is several thousand, plus more than 10,000 cavalry stationed, which adds up to more than 15,000 troops, and also has a large number of artillery support.

Just relying on his Second Cavalry Army, there is no way to force an attack at all!

Similarly, the Second Cavalry Army did not launch an attack on the capital area, the capital area was too large, and the defenders in it were tens of thousands, so it was not wise for their own cavalry troops to rush into it.

Therefore, Yin Guangqing Zhongqing left the 10th Cavalry Division to garrison the southern suburbs of the capital district to threaten the land connection between the Beijing district and the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau at any time.

As for the other main forces, they were hoarded behind, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to search around.

At the same time, cavalry artillery units were also mobilized to blockade the Mirror River.

However, this blockade was incomplete, and the tri-state coalition forces were still able to transport through the Jing River, or simply cross the river first and carry out transportation on the north bank of the Jing River.

However, this can still make the other party greatly reduce the efficiency of transportation.

That night, he dispatched a cavalry artillery unit, took advantage of the night to quietly approach, outside the limit range of his own cavalry artillery, and then fired a rapid-fire attack in the direction of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, firing dozens of shells, as for what exactly could be hit, no one knows.

As soon as this rapid fire was fired, this cavalry artillery regiment directly put on the horse and quickly withdrew.

Not long after, the original place where this cavalry artillery regiment was located was the explosion of the regiments, this is the enemy's artillery unit counterattack, if the cavalry artillery regiment retreats a little later, it is estimated that it will be defeated by this wave of counterattack.

The next day, Yin Guangqing received news from the Third Cavalry Army in the rear and learned that the unit had arrived in the Jingshi area.

At this time, the two cavalry corps of the Daheng Unification Army, with a total of more than 50,000 cavalry troops, had arrived in the Jingshi area.

However, neither cavalry corps launched a large-scale attack, but began to reconnoiter around the perimeter.

On the third day, the 3rd Cavalry Corps was in the outlying area, intercepting a Jingzhou force from the periphery trying to cross the blockade line and reinforce the capital area.

This Jingzhou army of more than 5,000 troops, since it was discovered, is doomed to the end of the entire army!

The two cavalry armies directly blocked the south side of the Jinghe River in the Jingshi area.

It's just that this still can't completely block the Jingshi area, because the other party can still carry out transportation maneuvers in the north of the Jinghe River, and then enter the Jinghe South City of the Jinghe District through the Jinghe River.

The other party also knew that the south bank of the Jing River was a very dangerous place, and many reinforcements were directly bypassed, and after crossing the Jing River, they maneuvered from the north bank, and then entered the capital area.

In this regard, the two cavalry corps of the Daheng Unification Army did not block too much!

After discussing with Yin Guangqing Zhongqing and other cavalry generals, they believed that the situation was still under their control!

Why?

Because even if the other side continues to send troops from the periphery to reinforce the capital area and the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, this resistance is still futile.

Because as long as the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Zhang Hanqiu Shangqing personally arrives, then the destruction of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau is inevitable.

The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Zhang Hanqiu Shangqing was tens of thousands of people, and it also carried a large number of heavy artillery troops.

Especially those 150-mm field cannons, as long as these guns arrive, they can completely shell the factory area of the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau by ultra-long range beyond the range of the enemy's artillery!

Under the shelling, the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau will inevitably not be able to produce normally!

As long as the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau cannot produce normally, then the three-state coalition army will lose the supply of weapons and ammunition, and even if it is fought slowly, it will be able to take down the capital area.

Even at that time, there is no need to storm the capital area, only need to use artillery and force the Jing River to bypass the north bank, and the Beijing division can be completely blocked.

Once this city of a million people is locked down, it won't be long before they starve to death!

Yin Guangqing and the others thought that they still controlled the strategic initiative, so they were naturally unwilling to let the soldiers attack desperately.

They just waited a little longer!

To the south of them, a large number of soldiers of the Daheng Unification Army are slowly moving north!

Due to the limited number of locomotives and wagons captured, these were used to prioritize the transport of artillery, especially heavy artillery and shells.

As for the large number of infantry and divisional cavalry and even ordinary artillery units, they can only march on foot!

But even on foot, it's still not slow!

The southern part of Jingzhou, and even the entire Jingzhou, is a plain terrain, and the real one-horse Pingchuan, even if it is a foot march, this is actually more convenient to maneuver.

More than 100,000 people of the front army of the Jingzhou Campaign, they marched north on foot, and along the way they also requisitioned a large number of people, horses, and carriages to maintain the logistics line.

At the same time, in the rear, engineers and technicians have even begun to urgently build temporary steel bridges for the passage of trains, trying to link the Dongdingzhou railway network with the Jingzhou South Line Railway.

It's just that this project is too huge, even if the engineer army is urgently constructed, even if the Mihe River is not wide, and the construction of this steel bridge is within the scope of contemporary technology, but if you want to build it successfully, it will take at least half a year.

In half a year, it is estimated that the Battle of Jingzhou was over at that time.

Zhang Hanqiu led his troops all the way north, striving to reach the Beijing Division in the shortest possible time, and on the other side, the naval units of the Daheng Unification Army also began to act!

After the battle of crossing the Mihe River, more than a dozen main warships of the First Fleet returned to the nearest military port of Dongdingzhou to replenish ammunition, coal, fresh water, and food, and carried out simple maintenance, and set off for the north again!

This time, their goal was to control the sea at the mouth of the Jing River, especially to block the enemy fleet at the Quping Naval Base, and then cover the entry of the First Artillery Fleet into the Jing River to provide support to the army units.

When necessary, the main warships of their First Fleet will also directly enter the lower reaches of the Jing River to fight, for example, if the enemy's main fleet abandons the Quping Naval Base and retreats directly into the Jing River.

That's right, it is very likely that the ocean-going main warships of the two sides will engage in a battle in the lower reaches of the Jing River!

In the previous battle of crossing the Mihe River, the Mihe River was only a small and medium-sized river, and only those offshore inland warships could go up the river and provide fire support for the army units.

But Mirror River is different!

The Jing River is the first river of Daheng, and the navigable capacity of the lower reaches of the Jing River is no less than that of the Luo River!
