On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Yanji Zhou military camp, Bazhou Assassin Shi Yuwen Wenwen was inspecting the preparations for war, and the Chen army outside the camp ended today's tentative attack and withdrew to the camp with a disgraced face.

Since the Chen army 'recovered' Wuchang, Yanji has become a thorn in the side of the continuous attack, thanks to the various fortifications that were worked day and night, and now Yanji is still in the hands of the Zhou army.

The dense trenches, the antlers of the bushes, and the layered mixture of wooden fences and earthen walls took only a few days to complete and expand, and the Chen army could only watch as the Zhou army gained a foothold on the southern bank after several successive defeats.

The Chen army also invested a lot of troops in attacking the camp, and several times they almost attacked, but the Zhou army benefited from the help of the naval army, and saved the danger several times at a critical juncture.

Yanji across the river is the Bakou of Bazhou, and not far downstream is located in the middle of the river Wuzhou, the support is very strong and very convenient, relying on these favorable conditions Zhou army firmly nailed to the south of the Yangtze River, so that Yingzhou Chen army is like a fish in the throat, Yuwen Wen personally came to Yanji and the soldiers together to resist the attack of the Chen army.

There is a commander in person, and there are reinforcements outside, so the morale of the soldiers is high, seeing the retreat of the Chen army, they began to clean up the wall, and then eat and rest to recuperate, and fight again in the future, Yuwenwen is to check the wounded soldiers, check the defense, and it is not easy to go anywhere.

"The rotation of soldiers should be handled impartially, and those who should be on duty should not leave, and those who should leave should not stay on duty." Yu Wenwen said to the generals around him that the defenders of Yanji had been transferred to Jiangbei to recuperate after several offensive and defensive battles, and at the same time, they had transferred manpower to replenish to maintain their combat effectiveness.

"Rest assured, you can't go wrong!" Fifth Brother Chen, the commander of the army, said that he is now the chief general of Yanji, leading the army as a nail in the south of the Yangtze River.

"It's not enough to just attack, now is a good opportunity to practice defense, everyone should not miss it."

This is a rare opportunity to train troops, so Yu Wenwen asked the state soldiers to take turns to garrison Yanji to accept the baptism of war, thanks to their own control of the Yangtze River channel, so it is very convenient for warships to transport troops back and forth on the river.

Before the situation changed greatly, this was a good opportunity for a round of warfare, not only the Hulin Army, but also the state soldiers and township soldiers had to take the opportunity to brush up their experience, and those state soldiers and township soldiers were not good at fighting in the field, but it was more suitable to shrink into the camp and let go of arrows, throw stones, and roll wood.

The first battle of the Tiger Forest Army that year was also to take Tongbai Mountain Baman, this kind of fish belly to open meat, after a few battles in a row, it can be regarded as gradually getting better, this time the Yanji offensive and defensive battle is so tossed, it is a good opportunity for state soldiers and township soldiers to train.

Standing on the west side of the camp, Yu Wenwen looked at the outline of Xiyang City on the north bank of the river in the northwest, since the war rekindled, he led his troops to run around in Nandu, 'running projects', so busy that he didn't even return home a few times, in order to urge the soldiers to create a new high in performance, he was also very desperate.

This tactic is a good tactic, but it is a harassment, and it is a robbery, and the boss must be on the scene to suppress all kinds of improvised ideas.

Chen's army looks like garbage, so most of the ideas of the generals under his command are too optimistic, saying that they will withdraw after pulling out the Fengsui sentry fort, but they are often reluctant to think that the stronghold can be repelled by the Chen army's counterattack, and it is not necessarily, and the sentry forts are like this, let alone Wuchang.

The Zhou army looked at Wuchang three times, and the city of Wuchang was like paper paste, allowing them to come and go freely, so the morale of the Hulin army was high, and many people hoped to defend the city, and everyone thought that they controlled the river, so the personnel and materials could be calmly transported to Jiangnan, so they were not afraid to spend several months.

After the war in the north is over, Daxingtai will mobilize heavy troops to go south, and Yingzhou will definitely be able to take it, and if Yingzhou is taken, it can attack Bazhou in Chen State to the west, and then even the remaining five states of Hunan, Xin, Jing, Wu, and Yuan may be able to take it.

Of course, Chen Jun will definitely not give up and will do his best to send the water and land armies westward, but it doesn't matter, Wuzhou will definitely be able to stop Chen Guo's water army in the hands of the Zhou army, and they don't want to come above Wuzhou.

It's as simple as cutting tofu with a knife, so the Hulin Army is eager to try and make great contributions, and everyone is dreaming, so Yu Wenwen wants to break the dream himself.

Because Chen Guo has not scrapped to that point, the battle around Wuchang will become a long-term tug-of-war, and they will only die first. With the power of Bazhou and Chen Guo, it was delusional, and as for mobilizing the resources of the Huangzhou Governor's Office to invest in Wuchang, the tug-of-war was even more than worth the loss.

There are priorities, the current primary strong enemy of the Zhou State is the Sui State, so it is irrational to involve too many resources to the Chen State in the south of the Yangtze River, Yingzhou and Wuchang City, and the troops of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion must also be used as a reserve force to avoid the deterioration of the war situation to fight the fire, if it is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, then the flexibility is basically gone.

Yu Wenwen can 'brush his face' and let the governor of Huangzhou 'help', but things must have a degree, so he must try to support himself as much as possible, and let go of Chen Guo's copy for no reason, it is impossible, so it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons and choose a compromise plan.

There are too many resources needed to defend Wuchang, and most of the conventional city offensive and defensive battles in these years last for more than half a year, if the attacker does not forgive, then it is possible for more than a year, Yuwen Wen does not want to trap almost all of his troops in Wuchang and cannot move.

Bazhou has accepted thousands of Wuchang people, and there are thousands of prisoners of war who do labor, if there are not enough people left to sit in the town, something will happen sooner or later, but if Jiangnan Chen Jun is comfortable, then Yuwenwen's 'conscience' can't get by, so he still has to find a good place in Jiangnan.

Yanji is this good place, with this stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River, it can hold the Yangtze River channel together with Bakou in the north of the Yangtze River and the five continents in the river, so that Chen Guoru is in the throat, and the power of Bazhou can also maintain this line of defense.

The Yanji camp has been dug deep ditches, built high walls and built wharves, coupled with the strategy of the naval warships, it should be able to be one as ten, Yuwenwen invested manpower and material resources in Wuzhou, strengthened the Wuzhou garrison, and used it as a garrison for naval warships, which can completely guarantee the freedom of travel, and the soldiers of Bazhou can take turns to garrison Yanji by boat, and the logistics are also guaranteed, which is an ideal 'wheel war' stronghold.

The battle against Sui in the north is not his turn, but it does not mean that his soldiers are in a daze, so he will definitely not let go of Chen Guo in the south, with the stronghold of Yanji in hand, send troops to attack and disturb the surrounding Chen army, chickens and dogs jump, that is what the Hulin Army likes to see.

Only when there is a war can there be a chance to make meritorious service, and only when you make meritorious service can you get a reward, and the soldier's desire to fight is very high, so Yu Wenwen, the 'contract foreman', must keep looking for projects for his subordinates to do.

After walking around the camp just to get to the meal, Yu Wenwen, like other generals, cooked with the soldiers, and this rule became the iron law of the Hulin Army under his personal practice, and it was also an important means of cohesion.

But the main purpose is to ensure the food, the soldiers in the same pot to eat can ensure that the food will not be short, the rice will not be mixed with sand, the color of the vegetables will not be shoddy, the kind of rotten roots, dead fish, rotten shrimp and stinky pork will never happen.

Do not suffer from poverty and unevenness, let the soldiers know that the generals eat the same things as themselves, so even if the conditions are difficult, there will be no complaints about eating chaff and vegetables, and this is the case with the place where the Hulin Army is stationed, so the state soldiers and soldiers who guard the village together are also carried out according to this example.

The food is very simple, brown rice, green vegetables and dried fish, considering that the soldiers sweat a lot in the summer battle, so the vegetables are salty, but there is brown rice porridge to choose from, Yuwen Wenzheng and the soldiers were dining when someone suddenly came to report that there was a military situation.

"Military intelligence?" Yu Wenwen put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, he put so many fires in the south of the Yangtze River that Chen Jun couldn't bear to go north to attack Qizhou in the north of the Yangtze River, and the other party acted like this probably with the idea of attacking the east and the west.

If you think you can succeed in attacking the west, just let the horses come! (To be continued.) )
