ps: Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish everyone harmony and beauty, happiness and happiness.

The situation of the Western Army is very passive, and the Liangshan reinforcements are coming in the blink of an eye, even if Liu Menglong can lead the water division to cut off the north and south of the Yangtze River, as long as the Liangshan Army frees up its hands to pull out Liu Menglong's water village in Jiangyin, so that the latter becomes a rootless duckweed, it will eventually retreat to the west. Not to mention that they are helpless in the face of Jinling City, and even if they take Jinling City, Jiangyin is still further east of Runzhou.

What made the seed master even more annoying was that he also received a letter from his younger brother from Huzhou. The seed master secretly colludes with Manichaeism, and the effect is not very good. The Manichaeans insisted that the seed master should withdraw from Huzhou first, so that he would agree not to join forces with the Liangshan army. But how can one of the seed masters be good at this matter, he had to report the conditions of Manichaeism to the seed master Dao, and at the same time ask the Manichaean sect to send an envoy to the north with him to meet the seed master Dao.

Fang La's move made the seed master Dao see hope, and the latter did send a person as an envoy to go north with the henchmen sent by the seed master. The person who came was Gao Yu.

With the squire of the First Army Department as a special envoy, Fang La gave ten points of face. But once it gets to the point, the feeling of the Western Army is the opposite, and the requirements put forward by Gao Yu are extremely harsh.

Huzhou is a premise, and Fang La wants to recapture Shezhou. The latter is not only the old base of Fangla, but also located to the west of Hangzhou, which can threaten the city of Hangzhou at all times.

Seed Master Dao flatly rejected this request, not because of his strength. But he knew very well that once Huzhou and Shezhou were abandoned, and the territory of Manichaeism was reunited, the latter could be regarded as a resurrection. He didn't dare to cut off such things without permission, and he would inevitably report it to Jiangling.

Gao Yu got this reply, but he didn't think so. At this time and that time, can the current situation of the Western Army be compared with the beginning?

In the first half of last year, the Jiangnan Western Army was powerful, and if it was willing to negotiate peace with the Manichaeans, it would naturally be very much said. But now that the reinforcements of the Liangshan Army have reached the Yangtze River, the Western Army has not been able to attack Jinling, and the situation has entered a dangerous situation. The seed master is still so tough and unreasonable.

Gao Yu has such a tough attitude, how can he be proud of the two sides together?

The only person who can be counted on is Liu Menglong. If the sailor can completely defeat Zhang Shunbu, it will be the real killer weapon to cut off the support of the Liangshan army. However, he didn't wait for the news of the softening in the south, but waited for a disaster in the north!

Liu Menglong's army was defeated!

The reason is very simple, Zhang Shunjun not only has reinforcements from Li Junbu by sea, but also thunder and tiger squat artillery.

Liu Menglong's warships were not advanced compared to Zhang Shunjun, and they were not advanced. It can only be regarded as a dual-purpose warship, but the head is weaker than Li Junjun, who is a sea ship, and the hull is not tall.

But even so, Liu Menglong's department should not be said to be powerless. Because Li Jun's department entered from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Shunjun attacked Liu Menglong on both sides, his department was located downstream, and he was congenitally at a disadvantage. And at this time, in water warfare, the means of fighting each other, in addition to bed crossbows, arrows and crossbows, and the collision of warships, are to throw fire cans, fire bricks, fireballs and other arson weapons at each other. When the battle comes, both large and small ships will be damaged. The advantages of large ships are far inferior to those of the later era of hot weapons.

In the earlier water battle in Liangshan Boli, the effect of the arson bombs of the Liangshan Army was more than one step superior to that of the Western Army. Now he has taken out the Heaven-Shaking Thunder and the Tiger Squat Cannon, and its response is even more powerful.

In the roaring explosion, Liu Menglong's troops did not hold out for an hour, so they hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, broke through Li Junjun's interception, and fled towards the mouth of the river. Even the water camps in the Jiangyin area were abandoned. Such a natural loss is not small. The deputy general Zhang Gongyu had no choice but to lead more than ten warships intercepted by Li Junbu to raise their flags and surrender. And this is not their luck.

Liu Menglongbu still lost his foothold on the road, and at this moment he seemed to be a water dog. It's a sad day.

Just like the team that lost the battle in "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" played in the previous life, if the retreat route is copied and there is no contact with the rear, then it can only wander around. The soldiers are outnumbered, the duckweed has no roots, the enemy is chasing, in the encounter again and again, can they escape once, twice, or a third or fourth? The result must be capture and killing. After this defeat, their survival was already slimmed.

Jiangbei is all owned by the Liangshan army, and although Jiangnan is not all Fangla's territory, the Zhoushan Islands are under his control, and the latter is the main force of the Manichaean naval army. How could Liu Menglong get past Manichaeism and go to Fujian?

After hearing the news, the planter said that everything was as usual on his face, and he only nodded and said that he knew.

Later, he still visited a military village with a calm expression, and then went to the Chinese army camp. On the way, he ordered all the generals to come and meet him quickly. After receiving the order, those generals of the Western Army did not suspect him and rushed to the Chinese army one after another.

When Zhao Ming entered the tent, the others all arrived, sat under the tent in order, and did not talk. The planter stood at the top, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking very restless. This is not common.

Zhao Ming stepped forward quickly and saluted: "I've seen the cardinal minister." "This title that could only be crowned on Tong Guan's head in the past can now be called that. Just to show the difference, but also to respect the elder brother, only the privy is called the privy in the seed master, and the privy is the prince.

Seeing that Zhao Ming, who was the farthest away from the camp, had already arrived, the seed master let go of his hands, and threw out a sentence straight to the point: "The military report I just received shows that Cookie has thwarted the Manichaean rebels attacking Shezhou." ”

That's good news!

Shezhou is very important for the Jiangnan region. That Fang La didn't dare to provoke Huzhou, where Xiao Chong was in charge, so he went to fight Shezhou. This is obviously not a joint force with the Liangshan Army, but in fact, it does not involve a force of the Western Army? Fang La's this is not really to fight the Western Army to the death, I am afraid that it is more to send a signal to the Western Army.

It is good that such cookies can defeat the enemy with a weak army. Yang Weizhong slapped his thigh and shouted: "The Orthodox Church thief army of vegetable eaters looks at the might of my Western Army." "Even if the situation in the Western Army is not good, not everyone can fight this falling into the water.

However, unlike the generals below who were beaming, the seed master Dao was still expressionless, and then said: "But Liu Menglong on the river was defeated by Liangshan Shuishi, and Jiangyin Water Village has been discarded. Now that we have withdrawn to the mouth of the Yangtze River, the prospect is ......, and it is not good. ”

There was silence in the tent, and none of the generals could recover from this change. Yang Weizhong felt very strange, the sailors of the Liangshan army in Yangzhou were obviously very ordinary, Liu Menglong had a big advantage in terms of troops, and the warships were not inferior to the thief army, but they were tired after a long fight. But this is not the reason for Liu Menglong's defeat.

At this time, a thought flashed through their minds at the same time! Manichaeism! It must have been the Manichaeism and the Liangshan army that joined forces, which caused Liu Menglong's defeat to be defeated.

"It must be the vegetable devil. Fang La's thief is hateful. "They're still in secret. Jiao Anjie scolded.

Seed Master Dao shook his head: "It's Jiaozhou Li Junbu." ”

Who? Li? Who is this bird?

Many people in the Great Tent had never heard of this name. After some explanations, the planters came to their senses.

Then one by one they rose up to shame. Because the Jiangnan battlefield is really far away from Qilu, these people only look at the north and south of the river, but no one can see Jiaozhou Bay.

"Lu Qian, this guy is so hateful!" A heartfelt sense of failure churned in Zhao Ming's heart. There is no way, the calculation is a step worse, and Lu Qian wins the brilliance of Gao Ming and victory.

Yang Weizhong quickly settled down, and he was crushed by someone from the overall situation, and he didn't feel strange. He fought with the Liangshan army, and in the battle in southwest Huai, he suffered a lot of losses. But it also let him know that the Liangshan army really has a set of ways to fight. The main problem at the moment is not to care about Liu Menglong's defeat, but how to deal with the current situation.

"Pivotal. As soon as Liu Menglong was defeated, the Yangtze River was already unimpeded in Liangshan's military words. Our army, under the city of Jinling in Jiutun, is in a worrying situation. Yang Weizhong said in a deep voice.

Can the Seed Master Dao not know this truth?

His army was killed in Jinling, and if he couldn't get in, he could only retreat. In the future, the Liangshan army will occupy control of the Yangtze River, and if his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are still outside Jinling City, then the logistics roads may be too many or not smooth. If there are reinforcements from the other side of the river, this is not careful, but it is a situation where all the games are lost.

The way of the planter must not be cautious.

"Reinforcements from the thief army are coming, what do you think should be done with the current situation?" The seed master asked.

"The last general thinks that he can return the army to Wuhu first." Zhao Ming was the first to demand the withdrawal of troops.

There's probably no way around it.

At the moment, all the generals in the account have no objections. The Planter Dao immediately dispatched the army and retreated one by one. He himself personally led the army to the rear of the palace.

The battle, which was caused by the Liangshan army's crossing of the Yangtze River to the south, can be regarded as over at the end of the first month. The huge Jiangnan calmed down again.

At the beginning of February, when Lu Qian received Yang Zhi, who had returned to Yangzhou, and sent a message to the emperor, Liu Menglong had already led the remnants to surrender to Zhang Shun and Li Jun. Lu Qian looked at it and was happy.

After more than half a month, the Liangshan army successfully captured the first line of Jinling, Changzhou, and Runzhou, and defeated Liu Menglong, the commander of the Great Song Dynasty.

What Zhao Song lost was not a piece of land south of the great river, their biggest loss was Liu Menglong and his subordinates. Without the involvement of the latter, Zhang Shun had already led the water division of his department to Shuojiang River.

The purpose of the Liangshan Army this time is obvious, that is, Jiangzhou. The seizure of this place can be said to cut off the most direct, convenient and fast passage between the Western Army and the north and south roads of Jinghu.

This is the place that the Western Army must defend.

Yangzhou's Yang Zhisuo Department has already moved a lot, and the Chao Gai Department of Huaixi just wants to follow up. Yang Zhi and Qin Ming led troops in the Jinling area, holding back most of the attention of the Western Army. If the big and small species don't return to Jiangzhou, then Chao Gai has the help of the water master, and it is really not very difficult to capture Jiangzhou. The Jiangzhou Sailor at the end is not the same, and he is not able to resist Zhang Shunjun at all.

Even if they say, they can't keep the mouth of the lake at all. This is a mortal threat to the Western Army.

But if the big and small species want to go back to Jiangzhou, it will be easier said than done. Tens of thousands of elites of the Liangshan Army are waiting in Jinling, which is a huge threat to all races.

It can be said that under the threat of Jiangzhou, the Western Army simply could not maintain its current posture in Jiangnan.

The big and small species can and must retreat step by step.

In this way, the Western Army withdrew from the place where they were strong, whether it was Huzhou, Shezhou, or even Taiping Prefecture, Lu Qianke had already regarded it as something in his pocket. (https:)
