Chapter 1376: Spring Breeze Triumphant
The news that Xiangyang fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty soon spread throughout the Jingxiang region, and for a time the wind and clouds surged, stirring the wind and clouds in Jingxiang, Wang Yin personally led the army to the north, and the master Dao personally sat in Xiangyang, and Wu Song led 50,000 people to the south, preparing to join the army of Wang Yin and Jiangling. Update the fastest as long as Wang Yin and Wu Song are in Jiangling, they can cut the Southern Song Dynasty into two parts, although Liu Guangshi resisted Li Qiao's attack in Diaoyu City, but the back road was cut off, and Li Qiao's eastward advance was also inevitable, it was only a matter of time.
And Li has already led the court to Hangzhou to kill the past, and Li Qiao and Wu Song formed three sharp swords, cutting the entire Jiangnan into three sections, Zhao Huan is basically weak, and now what is in front of Zhao Huan is how long can it last.
Hangzhou City, Yue Fei's eyes were full of red bloodshots, and the burden of thousands of catties was on him alone, although there were countless generals around him, but there was no one who could really take charge alone, when the news of Liu Zhan's death came, he felt that something was wrong, the three fortresses had been broken, and the Tang army drove straight in, so that there was a hole in the defense of Jiangnan, but this hole was still not easy to fill.
"Xiangyang is lost, the court is very shaken, I don't know if Pengju has other strategies?" Qin Hui personally rushed to Hangzhou and asked. The shaking of Jiangnan made Zhao Huan tremble, and he thought about retreating to Jingxiang at the beginning, but this time he found out that he was fortunate to listen to Yue Fei's words, otherwise, he would not be able to escape if he wanted to escape at this time, and he was directly trapped in Jingxiang by Wu Song and Wang Yin.
"Withdraw, let Liu Guangshi withdraw from Diaoyu City, pass through Xiangyang, return to Hangzhou, and maintain vitality." Yue Fei thought for a while and said: "Li Bing is strong and strong, but the soldiers and horses in his hands are only 500,000, our soldiers and horses are gathered together, not necessarily less than him, in a limited space, all strategies are secondary, and in the end, it is human life." Li's enemies are not only us, but also the Jin people, and if he loses too many soldiers and horses, he will not be able to deal with future enemies. In the end, there is only one result. ”
"What result?" Qin Hui couldn't help but ask.
"Both are defeated, how many soldiers and horses can he Li left?" Yue Fei said faintly: "If both sides lose, we can at least save half of the south of the Yangtze River, and we may be able to support it for a longer period of time in contacting the Jin people." "Yue Fei himself is not sure of victory, in this case, it is better to be able to support it for a longer time.
Qin Hui was silent for a while, Diaoyu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Xiangyang is not lost, relying on Diaoyu City can definitely resist Li Qiao's attack, but now Xiangyang is lost, once Xiangyang and Jingnan meet, Jiangnan and Diaoyu City will be separated, and they cannot contact each other, and the grain and grass in Diaoyu City will also be lacking because of this, although they can resist Li Qiao's attack, but how long they can resist, no one knows. But if you evacuate, more than 100,000 troops will lose the important town in the southwest, and such a decision is not something ordinary people can make.
"Are you sure?" Qin Hui said faintly. This decision is not easy to make, and Qin Hui is not easy to make, but he knows that only by making up his mind quickly can Liu Guangshi retreat quickly and lead the army back to Jiangnan.
"That's all there is to it." Yue Fei nodded and said: "Only by smashing Jiangnan can we force Li to retreat, otherwise, what will be left to Li is still a prosperous Jiangnan, and Liu Guangshi's soldiers and horses can only resist Li Qiao for a short time, and for a long time, it is simply impossible, and the simplest grain and grass will not last long." ”
Historically, the Southern Song Dynasty once relied on the Diaoyu City to kill Meng Ge, in addition to the command ability of the Southern Song Dynasty generals, more important is the Southern Song Dynasty's support for the Diaoyu City, grain, grass and equipment are continuously transported to the Diaoyu City, at that time Xiangyang City was still in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty was unable to go south, and because of the existence of the Diaoyu City, Xiangyang did not have to worry about the threat from the west, the two formed a horn trend, so it can support for a long time. But now, Xiangyang has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the rear of Diaoyu City is already in danger, even if it can be supported for the time being, defeat is only a matter of time.
"Oh well! I'll let Liu Guangshi lead the army eastward, and then go back to play Your Majesty! Qin Hui sighed when he heard this, and said, "I hope that the general can resist Li's attack, and Liu Guangshi's 100,000 troops will also be dispatched by the general." Pengju! The national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty depend on you. Qin Hui sighed deeply, took the paper on the side, wrote a letter, used the letter, rushed to send Pegasus to Diaoyu City, and ordered Liu Guangshi to go south quickly.
"Qin Xiang rest assured, if Li wants to destroy my Great Song, first step on my corpse!" Yue Fei said solemnly, anyone will surrender, but he, Yue Fei, will never surrender.
"So good, so good." Qin Hui nodded, and the thin figure walked out of the door. Like Yue Fei, anyone can surrender, but he Qin Hui will never do it, the two have the same disease, and because of this, although there are some contradictions between the two, they can still walk together for the same goal, Qin Hui also did not hesitate to order Liu Guangshi to go east to support Yue Fei, the small Jiangnan, nearly a million troops gathered here, he wanted to see that Li Ke had such courage to smash a Jiangnan hard.
Under the city of Hangzhou, Li is still immersed in the pride of Xiangyang's break, the city of Xiangyang is broken, which means that his soldiers and horses entering the south of the Yangtze River will increase again, and the army is about to besiege Hangzhou, he does not believe that Yue Fei can still turn over in this situation, it can be said that he is now a spring breeze.
"Your Majesty, since Xiangyang has been pacified, it is better to transport all the artillery from Xiangyang to Hangzhou, so that we can speed up the time for us to pacify Hangzhou." Li Fu said.
Li has been trying to attack Hangzhou in the past few days, I have to say that Hangzhou City is under the protection of Yue Fei, it can almost be said that there are no loopholes at all, after all, the two sides are not much different in terms of strength, and it is not a simple matter for Li to take Hangzhou, the soldiers and horses have lost nearly 1,000 people, but this is the case, the Tang army did not even climb the city wall.
Yue Fei not only widened the moat of Hangzhou, strengthened the defenses on the city wall, and even dug pits and trenches on the ground, which were clearly aimed at Li's cavalry, and what was even more disgusting was that these trenches and traps were all within the range of the bow and crossbow, and once the Tang army attacked, there must be countless casualties. This is also something that makes Lee very depressed. That's why Li Fu suggested that Xiangyang artillery be used to bombard Hangzhou.
"It's not impossible to transport it, but you must send troops to escort it, the sailors of the Southern Song Dynasty are hidden in the river, in the last ten days, we have more than a dozen cases of grain and grass have been robbed by the Southern Song Dynasty, and the grain and grass are counted, but the artillery is different." Li thought for a moment before nodding and saying. Yue Fei even had a musket, which showed that there was no shortage of gunpowder, and if artillery was added, the Tang army would be unlucky.
