Yueyang's overall defense plan can be regarded as an open model. Qian Biao's main force only held two points, one was Yueyang City, and the other was Yunxi City, and these two cities were now cut off by Liu Xinda.

Although it was divided, because the waterway was completely controlled by Zheng Wenchang, Yunxi City, which was hanging alone, did not lack material supplies and personnel replenishment, which was also the most helpless place for Liu Xinda.

Zheng Wenchang's sailors took advantage of the waterways that extended in all directions, penetrating everywhere, with dozens of boats, as few boats or even one boat, going ashore at any time in the loopholes of the Liang army's defense, and launching attacks again and again.

The damage caused by these attacks was not significant, but it was a great deal for the Liang army. It's like not being able to see in the dark, but there are always one or two mosquitoes buzzing in your ears, flying around you non-stop, and you slap it hard, and basically shoot it empty. But if you ignore it, he'll take the opportunity to drink your blood to his heart's content.

Not only Zheng Wenchang's sailors, but also those ubiquitous bandits. Several of them have received strong support from Qian Biao, and in terms of equipment, they are not inferior to the regular army, and they are also elusive by using their familiarity with the terrain, attacking grain delivery teams, ambushing and killing scouts, and there is no time to stop.

Liang Jun is losing blood every day, two less today, and few tomorrow, after a few months of fighting, Liang Jun's morale is getting lower and lower day by day.

Liu Xinda was helpless, so he could only grit his teeth and ignore these small-scale attacks, if he divided his troops to clean up these people, he was afraid that he would usher in greater losses. In the early stage, he suffered a big loss because of this. When a whole battalion of troops went to pursue a team of bandits, they were copied by Zheng Wenchang's sailors, and thousands of well-equipped bandits went ashore behind the back of the Liang army, and the bandits attacked back and forth.

As a northern general, on a battlefield like the south, where rivers are crisscrossed and the terrain is extremely complex, there is quite a sense of unadaptability to water and soil.

As an experienced veteran, he knows very well that in the current situation, he really can't fight. Unless reinforcements arrive immediately, he will have enough troops to launch an indiscriminate onslaught on Yueyang and Yunxi respectively.

Otherwise, if you fight Yunxi, Yueyang will come to help, and if you fight Yueyang, Yunxi will come to help, plus a Zheng Wenchang will keep making trouble in the middle like a-stirring stick, and he will not be able to use it for three purposes at all.

Among these three armies, there were 20,000 defenders in Yueyang City, of which no less than 5,000 were elite. There are eight thousand in Yunxi, and there are at least two to three thousand elite people. And on the lake, Zheng Wenchang is even more annoying, he never fights you head-on, and always stabs you in the back with a knife.

None of these three teams can be underestimated, because they all have good combat effectiveness.

He has too few soldiers and horses. The 15,000 Liang army, under such a situation, was completely unable to exert itself and was tied. Now he could only wait for Tian Guofeng's reinforcements to arrive.

Although he was reluctant in his heart.

However, Tian Guofeng's troops were like turtles crawling.

Either the supply of military food was insufficient, or they were attacked and harassed by their opponents, sometimes traveling up to ten miles a day.

However, Liu Xinda also knew that the other party was not lying, and now the supply of military food was indeed a little too late, and His Royal Highness sent a large amount of food to Luoyang and Chang'an. First, it is because those places are really short of food, and second, it is because of political reasons. The original consideration was that the army could raise food on the spot, but who would have known that Qian Biao was so vicious, and he cleaned up around Yueyang, and even the crops that were about to ripen in the fields were burned cleanly.

If you can't raise food on the spot, you have to rely on the rear to transport it, which is difficult.

Liu Xinda was thinking about Tian Guofeng, but at this time, Tian Guofeng was losing his temper.

Because his logistical baggage battalion was attacked by a group of bandits. In the middle of the night, a bandit infiltrated the logistics baggage camp and set fire to the grain truck, although the rescue was timely, but tens of thousands of catties of grain were burned to ashes.

"Bastard bastard! A whole thousand people, ah, a thousand people, can't even hold a baggage camp, what do you let the brothers eat? Drink the northwest wind! In the big tent, the generals of all sizes were silent one by one, watching Tian Guofeng kick a captain with a black face.

Among his own troops, Tian Guofeng fought fiercely, and his prestige in the army was incomparable, but at the same time, he was also a tyrant, and if he didn't agree with him, he would beat his subordinates with fists and feet. When his anger was in full swing, no one dared to persuade him at this time. Except for one person.

Chen Fu watched coldly for a while, and saw that the captain was kicked and beaten several times with his head curled up, so he walked over and hugged Tian Guofeng.

"Okay, okay, although I lost some, I finally saved most of it, which is a blessing in misfortune. Although he missed the military plane, he was not guilty of death, even if it was a capital crime, it should be dealt with by military law, you kicked him to death, what is the matter? ”

Dragged by Chen Fu, Tian Guofeng also stretched out his foot and wanted to kick a few more times, and after a few kicks in a row, he finally let go of the drum and stopped trying to attack this unlucky guy.

After panting and returning to the big case, he patted the table and looked at the captain kneeling in front, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that you used to be His Highness's personal soldier, Lao Tzu would have killed you now." You, get out of here, and go to your Highness to confess your guilt yourself. ”

"General Tian spares his life, please give the last general a chance to atone for his sins!" The lieutenant shouted with his head tilted.

Here, you don't necessarily have to die, if you are driven back by Tian Guofeng, I am afraid that you will really die.

"General Tian, this person has done his best before, although he missed the military plane this time, let's give him a chance! Assigned to the forward battalion, let him go to the guilty and meritorious service. Chen Fu persuaded on the side.

Tian Guofeng snorted and looked at the man: "For General Chen's sake, it's cheap for you, now deprive you of your military position, go to the forward battalion to be a centurion, when you make meritorious service, when will you come back." ”

"Thank you, General Tian." The man shook his head.

"Get out!" Tian Guofeng was furious, and the man crawled out of the military tent.

Originally, he was also qualified to discuss military aircraft here, but now that he has been demoted, he can only get out obediently.

"Zhang Deng, you go and take over the entire logistics battalion now, if you are attacked again, you will let me go to the forward battalion as a captain!" Tian Guofeng looked at a lieutenant below and said.

"Yes!"

"Tomorrow, we will advance at least forty miles, and all the departments will prepare for me, and if we have one mile less, then we will not rest, even if we are in a hurry, we must arrive."

"Yes!"

The generals were ordered to leave.

The military tent was quiet, and only Tian Guofeng and Chen Fu were left.

The two looked at each other, but they both laughed.

Finally, I found an opportunity to completely control the logistics baggage battalion in my own hands.

"It's okay, during this time, we have found an opportunity to dispose of several Zhu Youzhen's cronies, and the rest can't be moved anymore, and if we move again, it will inevitably make people suspicious." Chen Fudao.

"It's time to kill him." Tian Guofeng said.

"After entering the forward battalion, once the war starts, it is not easy to let him die!" Chen Fu snorted.

"No matter how slow we are, but the day we finally arrived, when we arrived in Yunxi, we really fought?" Tian Guofeng looked at Chen Fu and said.

"Of course it's true." Chen Fu had an indifferent attitude, "Before we receive new orders, we are the strongest Liang army." Fight as you want. Our sharp knife must be used in the most useful place, and if we do not move, we will deal a fatal blow to the enemy, and before that, anyone who gets in our way can be eliminated. ”

"Grandma, in this case, I'm afraid that I won't be able to be a good person in the future!" Tian Guofeng spread his hands.

"We are only responsible for Li Xiang, and other people are not in the scope of consideration!" Chen Fudao.

Tian Guofeng nodded, he was in charge of the army command, but when it came to some such things, it was Chen Fu who took the idea.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the big tent, and after a while, they went straight to the outside of the Chinese military tent, and the two looked at each other in surprise.

The two walked out of the big tent, and a war horse also happened to arrive, and immediately the knight turned over and dismounted, gave a military salute to the two, and said loudly: "General Tian, urgent military order." ”

Tearing open the military order sealed by the fire paint, Tian Guofeng glanced at it a few times and handed it to Chen Fu.

"Don't go to Yueyang, go to Jingnan instead?" Chen Fu was taken aback. "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "The two generals, the specific situation is not known to the subordinates. ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Fu asked.

"It was General Cao Bin who led the Wuning Army to attack Yangzhou and suffered a big loss!" The Messenger said. "I also heard that Huainan also has signs of instability."

Tian Guofeng and Chen Fu glanced at each other.

No wonder! Sure enough, something big happened. If Huainan is unstable, the entire southern war situation will change greatly, obviously, they turned to Jingnan to assist Dai Chao to take the entire Jingnan, it must be the Liang Imperial Court to intervene in the southern war situation, otherwise, Zhu Youzhen would not use his own soldiers and horses to pull nails for Zhu Youyu.

"I know, you go to rest first, and go back early tomorrow morning, and tell the Third Highness that Tian Guofeng will obey the military order." Tian Guofeng said. "Those who will snatch Jing Nan into their hands for His Royal Highness will definitely not be cheap for some people."

The messenger smiled and bowed back.

Shaking the letter in his hand, Chen Fu laughed hesitantly: "Or, our opportunity is about to come." ”
