Chapter 154: I'm Back
Baling, where Chen Guo Bazhou Prefecture is located, has been filled with most of the moat, many collapsed city walls, countless siege ladders that have been seriously damaged, the city head stained red with blood, and the corpses all show the intensity of the battle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Zhou army besieged Baling, and the defenders relied on the strong defense of the city, while the Chen army of other counties also tried their best to move closer to Baling, and the attack and defense of the two sides around Baling lasted for nearly a month before the winner was decided.
The Zhou army has entered the city, and there are soldiers everywhere in the city to maintain order, although the loss of personnel is somewhat large, but the Zhou army did not retaliate after entering the city, but only took the troops into custody separately, and the civil and military officials of Chen Guo in the city were in centralized custody.
The state government, the marshal of the march of Jiangnan West Road, Yu Wenming, is convening the generals to discuss the matter, and after the difficult bone of Baling is gnawed down, what remains is the fat of Xiangzhou.
There is only one Baling County in Bazhou, while there are ten counties in Xiangzhou, including Changsha County, Xiangdong County, Hengyang County, Shaoling County, and Yueyang County.
Xiangzhou, like Jiangzhou, has a huge naval shipyard in its territory, and a steady stream of timber can be used to build large warships such as golden wings, and it is an important shipbuilding base for the naval forces of the Southern Dynasties.
During the rebellion of Lu Xun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lu Xun, who hibernated in the south of Lingnan, went all the way north from Guangzhou, and the soldiers entered Xiangzhou and Jiangzhou in two ways, and used the shipyards of the two states to build a large number of warships in a short period of time, and successively broke the Jin army and naval divisions, and then went straight down the river to Jiankang, and almost changed the day.
As long as the Zhou army takes Xiangzhou, then it can solve the problem of grain and grass on the spot, and there is no need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to transport grain and grass from Jiangbei, and with Xiangzhou as a base, it is much more convenient to attack Guizhou on the southwest side of the next.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the battle report, the king of Xiyang has captured the entire territory of Jiangzhou, Ancheng County is in the hands of the official army, the Ancheng trail has been broken, and there are no more reinforcements in Xiangzhou!"
As soon as Yu Wenming finished speaking, the generals present were stunned at first, and then their faces were happy: In this way, Xiangzhou will be attacked by the enemy on its back and the army's morale will be unstable, and the battle will be better fought.
"Marshal, I don't know if the Lingnan Road march has invaded the boundary of Xiangzhou?"
"At the end of the strong crossbow, it is impossible to penetrate Lu Min, and the march of Lingnan Road only took one month to occupy the entire territory of Jiangzhou, and at this time it is necessary to hold on to prevent the sediment from rising, so Xiangzhou still has to be solved by our army!"
Speaking of this, Yu Wenming asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the credit that you hope is about to come to you has been robbed by the Lingnan Road march?" ”
"Of course not!"
"That's good! Xiangzhou is in our army, such as probing for things, ten counties, two counties less than Jiangzhou, do you have the confidence to take it within a month? ”
"Yes!" The generals replied in unison.
Of course, they were confident that the troops marching on the Jiangnan West Road were more than the troops marching on the Lingnan Road, and now the other party had captured the entire territory of Jiangzhou in just over a month.
Suddenly, a general stepped forward, saluted and said loudly: "Marshal, the last general is willing to make a military order, be the vanguard of the army, and lead the army to take Linxiang City!" ”
Yu Wenming fixed his eyes, but it was He Ruobi, the head of the march, and seeing that the other commanders stepped forward to ask for battle, he asked: "General He Ruo, the military order is a small matter, and it is a big matter to delay the war..."
"Between Baling and Linxiang, there is still a gap between Yueyang County, and now Yueyang Chen's army is still resisting stubbornly, how confident can General He Ruo take Linxiang directly?"
"Marshal! At the end of the year, he fought hard in Xiangzhou with the first examination for a year, and the mountains, rivers, lakes and roads have been kept in mind. ”
。。。。。。
In the Zhou military camp outside Baling City, more than ten horsemen galloped over, and He Ruohuai, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, stepped forward after seeing the people who came: "Father! ”
He Ruobi grabbed the reins and rode his horse to stop in front of his son, "Quick, go back to the camp immediately and prepare, and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
"Are our troops the vanguard?"
"That's right! The goal is Linxiang! ”
He Ruohuai clenched his fist with his right hand when he heard this, waved excitedly, turned around and ran towards the barracks, He Ruobi looked at his son's back, his eyes suddenly flowered, and time passed.
This year, he is 44 years old, and his son He Ruohuai is 17 years old.
That year, his father, Horrodun, was forty-four years old, and he was seventeen years old.
In the same land of Baxiang, the same corpses were all over the field, and the blood stained the red battle flag, He Ruo's father and son took the lead and rushed towards the Chen army like a tide.
In the second year of Wucheng of Zhou and the first year of Chen Guotianjia, Zhou general He Ruodun led the army to cross the river and conquer Chen Guoba and Hunan Prefectures, which directly threatened the survival of Chen State.
The retreat was cut off, and there were no more reinforcements, and Horodun's army was alone in the heart of the enemy's country.
After dozens of battles, the Zhou army was besieged by the Chen army in Xiangzhou Prefecture to govern Linxiang, the people in the city were inclined to Chen Guo, and the people's hearts were unstable, and the people outside the city were eager to send rice and chickens and ducks to the official army (Chen Jun).
There will be no reinforcements, there will be no support from the people, there is no hope of returning to their hometowns, there are more and more Chen troops outside the city, and there is less and less food in the city, and morale is about to collapse.
The young He Ruobi was also in the army at the time, and he knew what despair was, but his father, He Ruodun, gave everyone hope.
If the food was not enough, he piled up a mound and sprinkled a thin layer of grain, deliberately letting Chen Jun see it carefully, so that the other party thought that he had enough food to defend Linxiang for a long time.
The people outside the city sacrificed the army, He Ruodun sent soldiers to pretend to be the people, approached the Chen army in the name of sending rice and then suddenly attacked, after a back and forth, the Chen army saw people approaching and released arrows, and no people dared to send rice again.
Some soldiers rode horses and secretly ran away to surrender, He Ruodun sent people to surrender and take the opportunity to attack Chen's army, and after tossing and turning several times, Chen's army no longer dared to accept the surrender of Zhou's soldiers.
With no way out, the soldiers of the Zhou army had the courage to fight against the water, and after using various strategies, He Ruodun successfully made the generals of the Chen army mistakenly think that they could hold on for a long time, and from time to time they attacked the grain route of the Chen army, bringing back valuable food for the Zhou army.
He Ruodun relied on the lonely army and the lonely city, and he spent a year with Chen Jun, so that the other party was almost unable to hold on, and the commander of Chen Jun was helpless, and He Ruodun made a gentleman's covenant and sent Zhou Jun out of the country.
The soldiers of the Zhou army who survived the catastrophe returned to the Zhou State in Jiangbei safely, but the ruling Jin King Yuwen Hu dismissed He Ruodun on the grounds of "defeat and loss of land and heavy casualties".
He Ruodun was not convinced: If it weren't for the defeat of the navy, where would Ba and Hunan be taken away by Chen Guo, I took the soldiers to fight hard for a year, did not surrender but returned home safely, not to mention the merits and hard work...
King Jin is unfair!
The whining words reached Yuwen Hu's ears, and because of the trouble, He Ruodun was forced to commit suicide by him.
Before He Ruodun died, he pricked He Ruobi's tongue with an awl and told his son to be cautious from now on.
The past is like smoke, after nearly 30 years, He Ruobi once again set foot on the land of Jiangnan and Hunan, and became the vanguard of the army as he wished, he looked up at the southern sky, as if he wanted to see the city that his father could not forget through the mountains.
Linxiang, I'm back!
