Chapter 90: The Battle of Yiling

A cold light flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes.

"You can't let Gao Yigong defect to Longwu." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart. In an instant, in Zhang Xuan's heart, Gao Yigong's department went from being an old brother of the righteous army who could be fought or not, and who could let go of a horse, to a great enemy who hindered the strategic goals of Great Xia.

Almost all of what Longwu did in Changsha spread to Wuchang.

After Zhang Xuan studied it carefully, he had to sigh for Longwu, Longwu was born in a prosperous era and may be a Ming Jun. Even if the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history was Longwu, he might be able to hold half of the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, this is just a hypothesis.

Today's Nanming only has some remnants of mountains and rivers left.

More importantly, there is a lack of an army as the backbone.

In the Hongzhi period, the backbone of the army was Zuo Liangyu's department, no matter how unbearable Zuo Liangyu's department was, but I have to admit that Zuo Liangyu's department can still fight compared to other armies of the Ming army, at least he can catch Zhang Xianzhong to fight.

And now, Zuo Liangyu's department has been completely annihilated, and the only essence has gone north to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and become part of the Han army flag.

Although there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there was almost no army that had really been tempered by war, and most of them were new troops.

Gao Yigong's department went over, and immediately gave Changsha a backbone. With the high school as the core, plus a large number of recruits to supplement. I'm afraid that Nanming will immediately have the strength to fight.

This is something that Zhang Xuan absolutely cannot tolerate.

In a sense, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty has to thank the Qing court, if there is no battle of Xiangyang that the Qing court jumped, after the battle of Wuchang, the Xia army will definitely sweep Hunan. It won't stop in Hubei. Later, he lost too much in the Battle of Xiangyang. Hurt muscles and bones. Whether it is the casualties of the army or the consumption of materials. Can't afford a big war. Only then did Nanming have a chance to breathe.

Zhang Xuan had long regarded Nan Ming as fat on the board, and anything that enhanced Nan Ming's strength was not allowed. After all, Longwu is not Hongguang. If it was Hongguang, no matter how much strength Nanming added, it would be useless, but Longwu was a person, so Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy.

His hero, my enemy. That's it.

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered the Wuchang army to be dispatched, just to guard against the Nanming side, Zhang Xuan could not empty the military strength of Wuchang, so he left Cao Zongyu to stay, Zhang Xuan just hurriedly gathered 30,000 soldiers, but these 30,000 soldiers were his own troops, and the Qing army had fought hard.

After the vicious battle in Xiangyang, he cultivated for a period of time, and as the first sequence of supplements, the ones that should be supplemented have already been replenished. Today's combat effectiveness is probably even stronger than it was back then. And for water transportation, many firearms can be carried, such as cannons.

And if Gao Yigong turns to fight thousands of miles, if the two sides meet hard, Zhang Xuan is still confident. The premise is that Zhang Xuan can block Gao Yigong.

place

His first order was to urge all the ferries along the river to strengthen their vigilance, and all ships to stay on the south bank, close the city gates, and strictly guard them. Be sure to drag until the army arrives.

In the city of Yiling.

With the arrival of Zhang Xuan's order, there was a panic in Yiling City, and then the city gate was closed, and even all the ships on the dock were intercepted and not allowed to continue sailing. Liu Wenxiu, who originally wanted to stay in Yiling Prefecture for a while, was also intercepted. Liu Wenxiu sent someone to inquire about the situation, and the people below immediately inquired about Zhang Xuan's order.

Liu Wenxiu frowned suddenly. The dark path is unlucky, and there is also a trace of bad premonition in my heart. But now, he can only obey orders.

It can only be expected that Zhang Xuan's department will arrive in Yiling before the first year of high school.

To tell the truth, Great Xia's rule over Huguang was actually not too deep, and the area east of Wuchang could be said to be the hinterland of Great Xia because almost all of the surrounding areas were Great Xia's territory, so they naturally settled down and did not need to send many soldiers to garrison. And in the south and west, it is not so peaceful.

In the northwest, there is the heavily guarded town of Xiangyang, and in the southwest, there is also Gangneung Fortress, where many soldiers are stationed.

Jiangling City is the capital of Jingzhou Prefecture, where more than 10,000 soldiers are stationed, mostly to prevent the attack of the Ming army on the south bank, after all, in this local battlefield, the strength of the Ming army and the Xia army is not much different, and they do not care much about the defense on the west side.

So there weren't many people in Yiling City.

This is also a common phenomenon.

If a battalion of soldiers was stationed in each county, the hundreds of county towns occupied by Great Xia, the army of Great Xia would not have to do anything else. Then above the border, it is also a key station.

Liu Wenxiu was resting at the inn that night, but in the middle of the night he heard a commotion outside, and then a large fire rose.

The familiar sound of shouting and killing filled Liu Wenxiu's ears.

Liu Wenxiu rolled over and got up, holding a dagger in his hand. As soon as you look at the situation outside, you will know what is going on.

Gao Yigong is coming.

"What about the Third Highness?" More than 100 soldiers wore heavy armor and held swords, and their faces were as heavy as water, and their faces were extremely serious.

No matter how you say it, Liu Wenxiu is also an important figure in the Great Western Army, even if he can't bring many troops with him as an envoy, he still has personal guards.

The more than 100 elite soldiers around him are all personal guards who have followed Liu Wenxiu for many years, and they can be said to be fierce soldiers for the rest of their lives.

is also the most trusted by Liu Wenxiu.

Liu Wenxiu looked at the fire from a distance and said: "Immediately control the inn and light a bonfire outside, Lao Chen, you go to the roof, whoever dares to trespass will be killed." ”

Lao Chen carried a big bow on his back and said: "Third Highness, I, Lao Chen, have not been ambiguous, but there are too many enemies, in case ----"

Liu Wenxiu patted Lao Chen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll break with you."

The battalion still has some friendship, he knows that if it is me, he will not do it, and what we have to deal with is a chaotic soldier. ”

In troubled times, human life is not as good as grass, Liu Wenxiu knew that if he didn't do a good job of defense, it was likely that he wouldn't be able to wait for the moment when he saw Gao Yigong.

The rebels can be said to recognize no one.

As Liu Wenxiu expected, he sent people to light a large bonfire outside the inn, and these bonfires were simply tables and chairs piled up on the street in the inn and poured oil. Be ignited.

The flash of fire immediately attracted a large number of rioters.

The army was in chaos, regardless of whether the Xia army or the Shun army was in order. Many soldiers will naturally loot if they win, as a reward, and if they lose the battle, they will also loot, and they will run away and don't want to find a way to make a profit.

Even though the inn shouted: "The three highnesses of the camp are here, and you should retreat quickly." ”

Liu Wenxiu asked people to call the dedication camp because the name of Onishi was later, far less than the old name of the dedication.

It's just that these rebels didn't take it seriously at all and immediately rushed over.

Immediately facing the attack of Liu Wenxiu's own soldiers, there was a rain of arrows, although it was not very dense, but one by one it was extremely accurate, but in a moment, it shot down a lot of soldiers.

"Kill." More than 100 pro-soldiers were killed.

After a fight, the rebels were beaten out. Many times if you rush too fast, it is easy to lose the organization. It's not that these rebels can't be fought, but they were fascinated by Qian Bao, and they were defeated by this neat one.

After these people were defeated, the soldiers behind them also came to their senses and saw that they were hard stubble. He didn't dare to act without permission, but surrounded him from a distance and reported to the back.

After a while, I reported to Gao Yigong.

At this moment, the joy of Gao Yigong has not passed. Wen Anzhi said that he could take Yiling. But Gao Yigong still didn't believe it very much in his heart. But after coming to Yiling, I learned about Wen Anzhi's influence on Yiling.

Of course, there is also the weakness of Daxia's control over the local area.

After Wen Anzhi infiltrated Yiling, it was easy to cause some people in the city to cooperate with each other and break through the city gate smoothly.

Needless to say, the rest of the matter is needless to say.

However, Wen Anzhi is also busy now, busy pacifying the gentry in the city, busy leading Gao Yigong's personal soldiers, and killing the rebels. Maintain order in the city.

At this time, Gao Yigong got a report from the people below.

"Offering the Third Highness, Liu Wenxiu?" Gao Yigong said: "Why is he here? ”

Anyway, there is still a little bit of incense between the camp and the camp, Gao Yigong said: "Go, take me to see the third highness of the camp." ”

"Yes." The pro-soldiers around Gao Yigong agreed in unison and followed behind Gao Yigong.

In just a moment, Gao Yigong arrived at the inn.
