Chapter 529: Mihe Wuyu Ferry

Baiwei County, Dongdingzhou, is located in the northeast of Dongdingzhou, and faces the endless sea in the east.

To the northeast of it is the capital of the Imperial Family.

Since Baiwei County is located in the southwest of Jingzhou, the most important thing is the dividing line between Baiwei County and Jingzhou, which is the Mihe River.

The Mi River is not a big river, and it is far inferior to a big river like the Luo River, but it can be regarded as a good navigation condition, and large-tonnage ships can transport goods or passengers along the river for two or three hundred kilometers.

Such a dense river can not only become the main navigable inland river in Baiwei County, but also become the southwest barrier of Jingzhou since ancient times.

Well, not the northeastern barrier of Dongdingju, but the barrier of Gyeongju.

Around the Mi River, which is not a big river, there have been many large-scale battles in history, and many of them have had a significant impact.

Five hundred years ago, when Daheng and the southern black feather barbarians were in a big war, the southern army of Daheng was defeated in the early stage of the war, so that the southern barbarian army went all the way north, successively captured Nanhai Prefecture, Dongding Prefecture, and hundreds of thousands of troops directly killed Mihe.

At that time, the Daheng people mobilized all the troops of the nearby states and counties, and Chen soldiers carried out brutal river crossing and anti-river crossing operations on the north bank of the Mi River, relying on the Mi River and the southern Wuyu barbarians.

After more than a month of fierce fighting between the two sides, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of black feather barbarian army were killed and wounded, and finally they were forced to retreat.

After annihilating the attacking southern barbarian army, the Daheng people gathered the troops of other states and counties, and the millions of troops entered the hinterland of the barbarians.

A few months later, the country of Karabeha ceased to exist, and a year later, the people of Karabea as a race were completely reduced to history!

The war between the Great Heng and the alien race has always been so cruel.

For thousands of years, all the alien races that were killed by the Great Heng people basically ended up with the extinction of the race, without exception!

Otherwise, the territory of the Daheng people would not have expanded to the current more than 7.5 million square kilometers, and the Daheng people would not have maintained a single ethnic population structure.

The expansion of the Great Heng people has always been as long as the land does not want people!

This is also the reason why people from other countries are full of jealousy and even disgust for the Daheng people, who are too barbaric and cruel in foreign wars, and it is okay to win the battle and seize the territory, but these people only need land and no people......

A large northern territory of the large Wuyu country became an uninhabited territory, and finally the Daheng people immigrated to live and live, and established Ningyu Prefecture.

This is also the source of Ningyu Prefecture!

In the war with the Wuyu people, the Battle of Mihe was the most important turning point, and the strategic position of Mihe can be seen from this.

Now, instead of decreasing, the importance of the Mi River has been further increased, because on both sides of the Mi River are the railway line in Jingzhou and the railway line in Dongdingzhou.

The Third Army deployed in this area by the Daheng Unification Army is deployed along the Mihe River and the railways in the rear, and the overall appearance is a T-shape.

Coincidentally, the troops of the Seven-State Coalition on the opposite side were similarly deployed, also around the Mihe River and the railway line in the rear.

Why are they arming around the Mihe?

That's because the reason why the Mihe River has been able to become a big battlefield since ancient times is not because it is difficult to cross, on the contrary, many places on this river are easy to cross, especially the Leishi Ferry, Pingwu Ferry, and Wuyu Ferry.

Among them, the Pingwu Ferry Port in the middle, the south bank is the northern railway terminal of Dongdingzhou, and the north bank is the southern terminal of the Jingzhou railway line.

It is precisely because there are several suitable locations for crossing the river and the existence of railway lines that the Mihe River, especially the Pingwu Ferry, has become the focus of the war between the two sides.

If a river as big as the Luo River does not have an absolute superiority in water power, the attacker will not risk crossing the river at all.

If there were no railway lines on both sides, it is estimated that it would not have led to the concentration of troops on both sides.

But the Mihe River is different, there are railway lines, and several sections of this river are very gentle, and not wide, if there is enough artillery as an interception, even without the cover of warships, directly covered by army artillery, you can cover a large number of troops to cross the river on rafts and the like, even large ships and the like.

In this case, the attacker can cross the river without spending much effort!

But in the same way, if the defenders block these natural crossings, they can also hold the enemy.

Five hundred years ago, the people of Daheng fought repeatedly with the Wuyu people at the three natural ferries, especially the Wuyu ferry, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides stained the Mi River.

Now, the Daheng Unification Army and the three-state coalition forces of Jingzhou, Gaoqingzhou, and Ningwuzhou are also confronting and even fighting over the three natural ferries on the Mi River.

Wu Dajiang, commander of the Third Army of the Daheng Unification Army, looked at the large number of enemy troops on the other side of the river, looked again and again with a telescope, and the other party had mobilized at least 50,000 troops at this Leishi crossing alone!

"Looks like they're menacing!"

Listening to Wu Dajiang's words, Tian Yaping, the commander of the 10th Division on the side, said: "Lord Wu, don't worry, although the enemy army seems to have a large number of troops, their fire support is not good, and they don't dare to risk crossing the river without enough artillery support!" ”

Wu Dajiang said: "You still have to be careful, yesterday's sneak attack by the enemy at the Pingwu ferry port is a lesson, they bypassed the frontal ferry and crossed the river from the north, if it is not discovered in time and make adjustments, I am afraid that their partial division will successfully cross the river!" ”

"No matter what, the defense line of these three natural ferries cannot be lost, otherwise, it will be difficult to fight in the back, and it is easy for the other party to give full play to the advantage of troops!"

Although Wu Dajiang was only a peasant in his early years, he did not receive a professional military education, and later simply went to a camp school, but to be honest, he only learned half a lesson.

But he is Lin Ziran's henchman, and he is also one of the oldest commanders in the Daheng Unification Army.

It doesn't matter if he is incapable, Lin Ziran has assigned him an ultra-luxurious staff team!

The staff team under his command has repeatedly explained to him that the focus of the northeast defense line is the Mihe defense line, and the focus of the Mihe defense line is the Leishi Ferry, Pingwu Ferry, and Wuyu Ferry, which are the three natural ferries that are most suitable for the army to cross the river.

It is said that this black feather ferry is the main battlefield of the fierce battle between the Daheng and the black feather people, and hundreds of years have passed, and the swords, guns, sticks and other relics left over from the battle between the two sides can occasionally be found from the river beach.

As long as these three natural ferries are guarded, then even if there are more than 200,000 allied troops in Jingzhou, Gaoqing Prefecture, and Ningwu Prefecture on the opposite side, they don't want to cross the Mihe River safely, as long as the Mihe River is not lost, then the other party should not expect to easily enter Dongdingzhou.
